There were more participants this time.
Zhao Ping was the leader and sat on the main seat.
Forget it, after all, it is just a rundown village, where does it come from?
There wasn't even a stool to be found.
Everyone just sat on the ground, or at most spread some hay underneath.
The east is the main one, with Zhao Ping sitting due east.
Next to him are Xia Quan and Ruan Wendi.
Followed by Mao Shiba and Zuo Zhigang.
Next are Lu Pin, A Dajian, Gao Meng, and Liu Muyun.
Mu Qiaoqiao and Li Hu did not take their seats, but stood behind Zhao Ping.
One wants to hear the analysis of these people and determine whether his father is in danger.
The other one purely protects Zhao Ping.
And, of course, Kageichi.
However, Yingyi did not interfere, but stood outside the door, alert to the surroundings.
It is guaranteed that no foreign enemies will appear within a radius of twenty meters.
First is the summary.
Everyone stood up and talked about their experiences. What they did poorly and what they did well were all put on the table.
Where things went wrong, everyone worked together to make suggestions and give the correct route to prevent the same mistakes from happening again.
It’s a great place where everyone learns together.
Then Zhao Ping recorded their achievements.
After returning to Xiping Village, we will reward you based on your merits.
Secondly, the loot.
Because it is a rescue operation, unlike the suppression of bandits, you can get some money, food and other trophies.
The main prize this time is manpower.
Local officials like Mao Shiba and Zuo Zhigang captured in Yuzhou, as well as the family members of those officials controlled by Lu Pin.
The key is that these personnel must be decided by His Majesty.
They have no right to interfere.
Zhao Ping had to remember who caught whom and what clues came out of the interrogation.
Then, according to the situation, sort out the size of the merit, and then discuss the merit and reward.
Xia Quan's side was very plain, nothing more than some details of the rebellion, negotiations and planning by Chen Tong and others, etc.
Finally, he pointed directly at his staff Gu Tianhe.
By chance, Gu Tianhe was captured by Ruan Wendi and interrogated to get some information.
"Eternal Life Palace?"
Zhao Ping frowned, "There is such an organization hidden in the capital. Ruan Wendi, you will make great contributions."
"Why do you say that?"
Ruan Wendi said in confusion: "I have been in the capital for so many years, following the Liao family, and I know more or less about the affairs of the capital. I have never heard of the Palace of Eternal Life?"
"This shows that the organization of the Hall of Eternal Life is not large, and the people gathered are not important officials in the court."
“I feel like at most it’s just some local officials.”
"Just like Gu Tianhe."
"What's the point?"
Zhao Ping asked.
"I do not know."
Ruan Wendi shook his head, "This is the first time I have heard of this organization. I didn't know anything about it before. I don't even know who they include, so how can I know the meaning of their existence?"
"Can you tell me?"
Zhao Ping asked Xia Quan and others again.
"I do not know either."
Xia Quan shook his head.
He was just a hunter who was selected by Zhao Ping and trained intensively so that he could become the head of the escort agency.
In other words, he was the first group of people to follow Zhao Ping.
Take advantage of time.
Otherwise, he would probably be a centurion now.
In terms of resourcefulness, he is not as good as the well-informed Ruan Wendi.
"Since we don't know the truth, let's analyze it."
A Dajian suggested: "The court is nothing more than a few forces."
"First, those who protect His Majesty."
“There aren’t many people in this group.”
"After all, Your Majesty ascended the throne at a young age and has lost all power. There are very few people who can be loyal to you."
"Even if His Majesty has been running it for many years, it doesn't feel like there is much."
"Otherwise, the court would have been stable long ago, and there would not have been so many rebellious officials and traitors, and the Flying Eagle Army would not have been treated so unfairly."
"They don't have time to build the Palace of Eternal Life."
"There's no need for that."
"As long as His Majesty does not fall, they will be invincible."
"Second, those who are loyal to the East Palace."
"This part also has two parts. One is the queen, which is the power of the Qian family."
"The second is the person who is regarded as the prince and tutor."
"The goal of these two groups is very clear, which is to protect the crown prince."
"His Majesty is old, frail and sick, and may die at any time, so they can take over the power without having to do anything."
"There is no need for them to build another Eternal Life Palace."
"Third, the rebel forces."
"We are just a little eunuch doing odd jobs in the capital. We only hear about the affairs in the capital. We don't know who is the real rebel."
"But our family can be sure of one thing. If they want to rebel, they must revolve around His Majesty and the Crown Prince."
"Why build an Eternal Life Palace?"
"So it can be ruled out."
"Fourth, traitors."
"The hearts of these people are no longer in the Dawei Dynasty."
"What they want to do is to surround His Majesty and look for opportunities for foreign enemies to continue to invade the territory of our Dawei Dynasty and seize the resources of our Dawei Dynasty."
"There is no need to build another Eternal Life Palace."
"So, our family believes that the 80% achievement of the Eternal Life Palace was created by idle people."
"What's the purpose?"
Zhao Ping asked.
"Not sure."
A Dajian shook his head, "For the time being, I only found that Gu Tianhe is a member of the Changsheng Palace, so I can't tell."
"If we capture a few more members of the Eternal Life Palace, we can tell one or two things."
"It's not that easy to catch."
Zhao Ping said angrily: "Right now we have only captured one member of the Eternal Life Palace, and we don't know where the rest are."
"You can follow the clues."
A Dajian suggested: "Didn't Gu Tianhe explain it? In the Red Candle Pavilion on the first floor of the world, light a pot of the best Qianli Zui. After drinking it, lie down to rest, light three red candles, and you will be taken in. Palace of Eternal Life.”
"We can send someone over, and after completing these procedures, we can successfully enter the Palace of Eternal Life."
"You think too much."
Zhao Ping said indifferently.
"Why do you say that?"
A Dajian was puzzled.
"Eternal bliss is nothing but an illusion."
Zhao Ping explained with a smile.
"Illusion?"
"good."
Zhao Ping said: "There are some drugs that, if taken in excess, can make people enter a fantasy world."
"In that illusion, whatever you want in your heart can come true."
"So I suspect that there is no Eternal Life Palace headquarters at all. From the beginning to the end, Gu Tianhe has never left the Red Candle Pavilion."
"He was just immersed in his own fantasy."
"Is there such a wonderful medicine in the world?"
"Yes, and there are many more."
Zhao Ping said: "For example, the common mandala flower we have, as long as the dosage is right, it can make people immersed in the fantasy world, and they can't extricate themselves."
"And poppy."
"And some synthetic potions."
When talking about this, Zhao Ping thought of Poppy in his previous life.
In order to rule the country, those foreign forces secretly released poppies. I don’t know how many people were harmed.
Even when he traveled through time, some news would still come out from time to time, about so-and-so smoking that kind of thing.
The disaster has lasted for so long that it is astonishing.
Zhao Ping also had to be cautious.
If it is really such a thing, it must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Even the place of origin must be uprooted.
So he stood up and said seriously: "Your Majesty has been rescued. Our most important thing now is to find out the situation in the Palace of Eternal Life and wipe out this organization."
"At any cost."
"yes."
Everyone took orders.
They all kept this matter in mind.
Finally, there’s the question of the day.
Mainly around two levels.
First, why does Your Majesty appoint so many officials?
Secondly, why did His Majesty remove Chen Xinghe and Mu Shangwu from their official positions.
The first to speak was still the military advisor.
Ruan Wendi stood up and said: "His Majesty should be grateful for our meritorious service in rescuing him."
"There are so many officials in the entire Dawei Dynasty, including generals of troops and horses, etc., but we in Xiping Village are the only ones who have sent out manpower. His Majesty is grateful to us, so he has appointed us as officials."
"But he hasn't completely taken control of the court, so he only lets us stay in Yuzhou."
"As for removing Chen Xinghe's official position, it is just as His Majesty said."
"We learned at the same time that His Majesty was in trouble. We had been planning for so long and had even rescued His Majesty. Chen Xinghe arrived belatedly. Your Majesty was angry and it was justifiable to remove him from his official position."
"On the other hand, Mu Shangwu should be wary of the Mu family's power."
"In other words, His Majesty is sounding the alarm to the Mu family."
"Let them not get carried away. Warn them that this Wei Dynasty is still His Majesty's world. Let them not get carried away."
"you are wrong."
However, as soon as these words were spoken, A Dajian stood up and held a different opinion.
