As a minister, ability is important, but what is more important is to be able to grasp the emperor's mind.
For example, now, he doesn't understand Baili Feng, and he doesn't know what shocking things this crazy Prince Yong is going to do. So as the commander of the Royal Guard, if he misjudges the other party's intentions, he will most likely fall into a completely passive position.
At this time, he almost did everything wrong. Just like Huang Xin, when facing a powerful sneak attack, no matter how he defended, he was actually unable to defend himself.
Therefore, at this time, the emperor's subjective initiative must be brought into play, and he must issue orders and execute them himself. In this way, even if something goes wrong, the blame will not be entirely on himself.
And Qu Li grasped Yelu Boyan's thoughts.
Yelu Boyan nodded and ordered, "You are right. There are already enough guards in the palace. If 30,000 guards are not enough to protect me, then even if another 30,000 are dispatched, it will be of no use.
If we want to prevent what happened before from happening again and restore peace in the Imperial Palace, we must address the root cause. And that root cause lies in the Imperial City! We know Baili Feng is hiding in the Imperial City, but we can't find him. This means there must be a den of thieves somewhere we don't know about, and there must be a secret passage in that den of thieves.
I command you to take 50,000 Yulin soldiers and search every house thoroughly, even the pots and stoves. I don't believe you can't find them!"
"Yes! I will immediately order the Imperial Guards to search again. This time, we must find all these thieves' dens. I don't believe that they could escape from such a small imperial city."
After saying that, Qu Li said with some worry: "But I am afraid..."
Yelu Boyan stopped Qu Li from speaking any further. "There's nothing to be afraid of. I've figured out that Baili Feng is just trying to scare me. The entire palace is now tightly guarded by the Imperial Guards. I don't think he'd dare launch a true sneak attack again."
"Look at the last two sneak attacks. Wasn't that one a succession of shots fired? Humph, you think I'll lose my composure with this little trick? Dream on!"
"Your Majesty is wise! I agree with you, so the most urgent task is for me to lead the Yulin Army to search them out."
"Go ahead."
Yelu Boyan waved his hand weakly and returned to his bedroom behind the Council Hall which had been attacked before.
This place was attacked by Baili Feng's men just an hour ago. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Even if these assassins come again, they will not attack the Council Hall again.
So Yelu Boyan ordered his men to go to another bedroom with great fanfare, while he himself quietly returned to the council hall with his men. The imperial guards also guarded in secret without making any appearances.
He was truly exhausted, his wounds aching. After a night of tossing and turning, he truly needed to rest. Although he truly didn't want to act like a thief in his own palace, he knew Baili Feng's goal was to drive him crazy. That was all.
I really didn't expect that a mere Xuanyuan Yexiao would mean so much to Baili Feng's heart.
Baili Feng's mad attack on the palace, leaving him no peace, was enough to prove that Xuanyuan Yexiao should be dead.
This time, it seems that I have done something wrong again.
