Does this father know or does he not know?
Li Chuan couldn't confirm much in a short time, but he agreed with his proposal.
Because this is indeed how you should deal with evil spirits.
If you can master its inherent regularity, you might be able to treat this evil emperor as a wish-making demon and get many things that are beneficial to you.
After some discussion, Li Fang and Li Xin made the decision to wait and see for the time being and to cope with the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged.
Li Fan knew in his heart that Emperor Delong was an evil spirit, but he was still not sure whether he had any human likes or dislikes.
If he has not yet revealed himself and still has to act according to the rules of his status as emperor, then balancing the various forces in the court and bribing his father and son will be the focus of the next step.
It's not too risky to plot against him.
Of course, even a true emperor always accompanies him like a tiger, but when it comes to evil spirits and treachery, it will definitely be more dangerous.
If he was stimulated by some external things and suddenly appeared, or if he awakened his true wisdom and noticed something abnormal in Wu'an Hou Mansion, the consequences would be disastrous.
After putting away the two golden elixirs for the time being, Li Fan decided to spend more time pondering and researching in the future.
My ability to see through the truth has been greatly strengthened, and I actually have a lot of hope of being able to see through it.
If its effects and consequences could be clarified, it wouldn't be a bad idea to regard such elixirs as real rewards.
If you have the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the saint in the future, you can also observe him closely and see more of his details.
Not long after, the two talked about the Demon Suppression Division again.
Li Xindao: "This time the department suffered a heavy blow, I'm afraid it will have to be reorganized.
What it lost was not only the hall masters like Du Zhi and Xiong Li, but also the close subordinates who followed them. Even the elite of my law enforcement hall narrowly escaped death, and the losses were not small.
In particular, this incident will destroy the confidence of many people, causing people to lose heart and make it difficult to lead. "
"That's true. The evil demon is so powerful and still serving in the Demon Suppression Division. It's so dangerous and unpredictable...
If even basic life safety cannot be guaranteed, all glory, wealth, power and status will become as light as smoke. "
Li Chuan agreed.
"My great-grandfather also mentioned in his notes that when the Demon Suppression Department was founded, many people showed a passive attitude when faced with various unpredictable events and dangerous demons.
This is the inherent law of the human heart. Even as a strong man, he cannot reverse or change it! "
"How can the human heart not be a strange thing?"
Li Xin also agreed.
"People's thoughts change, and people's thoughts are at peace. These are the inherent laws of the subordinates of the Demon Suppression Department. If we cannot lead them to suppress evil and eliminate demons and move towards victory, the Demon Suppression Department will completely sink!"
After that, the two returned to the government office and gathered the remaining troops to learn more about the specific situation.
At this moment, the North Office of the Zhenmo Division has been destroyed, and all personnel have temporarily moved to an official office in Jinchengfang for work.
】
This was originally the location of the government office managed by the Chief Secretary and the Western City, but due to departmental adjustments and changes in the current situation, it has not been used again for many years.
Now, they are holding a meeting in a dilapidated yamen that has been in disrepair for a long time.
Look at his subordinates.
Those who are qualified to come here to participate in the meeting convened by Li Xin and his son are all middle and senior officials from the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Church.
Originally, even if there were not many of these officials, they were definitely quite large and could fill the lobby of this dilapidated yamen. But now, there are only three or two big and small cats left, and there are only a dozen or so people.
Among these ten or so people, there are those who have lost their hands and feet, those who are blind, those who have been corroded by strange forces and their bodies have begun to ooze and fester, those who have begun to become deformed and out of control due to various negative consequences, and those who are on the verge of falling into evil...
It was simply miserable.
As soon as Li Fan saw this situation, he knew that he must not stay in such a poor place for a long time.
Otherwise, morale, which has already hit rock bottom, will never be lifted again.
As for the high-ranking officials in the hall, Zhong Gu used to work at the South Yamen of Jinyiwei in the imperial city. The people of the common government hall were not in trouble, but Tiangang Hall did not participate in the daily affairs of the Demon Suppression Division as a rule. Du Zhixiong Li is dead and can never come again.
As for Disha Hall...
"Why didn't Master Zheng of Disha Hall come?"
Li Xin, who was sitting at the top, frowned slightly and asked.
"Your Excellency, Hall Master Zheng has taken leave to recuperate and cannot come for the time being."
A Ministry of Health official affiliated with Disha Hall stood up to report.
"During the night of disaster, Hall Master Zheng was injured by evil spirits and is now on the verge of becoming possessed..."
Li Xin nodded slightly, with a look of helplessness on his face.
For strangers, being weird, unbalanced, and falling into evil is the most terrifying thing, so it is natural to take leave to recuperate.
There is another possibility that the leader of the Disha Hall Zheng is a member of the foreign relatives' faction. Emperor Delong wants to adjust the power of the department and move him away. The entire department is almost the sole responsibility of Li Xin and his son, and there are no more personnel. It can be a constraint.
But in this way, the position of the leader of Disha Hall will be temporarily vacant, and the deputy leader will be able to wield greater authority.
Li Xin vaguely remembered that it was a foreign master who was still in the field. Now the headquarters is short of manpower, and he may be mobilized to the capital at any time to take charge of power, and even naturally take the position of the new hall leader.
Those were people from Zhen Guogong's lineage.
The relatives' party also has candidates at the deputy hall leader level that they can recommend, and they can even recruit people from other places to fill the vacancies.
The newly appointed chief assistant, Mr. Yan, may also add people to the Demon Suppressing Division to have a hand in the reorganization for the future.
Such thoughts flashed past, and Li Xin asked his subordinates to summarize the casualties and report the details.
"That night, in the imperial city of Gyeonggi, all the troops of A, B, B, D, and W were annihilated. All the Qianhu and the deputy Qianhu were killed. There was only one brigade left in each of Jizi's and Geng's, and one brigade in Xinzi's. , Ren Zi Institute, Gui Zi Institute's remaining group...
As for the Holy Capital, Wuji, Xinren, and Gui were all destroyed. One hundred households, one hundred households were killed in the battle, and one hundred households in the three houses A, B, and C were killed in the battle. Only two people, Xigui, who was named A, and Wang Nu, who was named B, were left. Thirteen people, 20 people, among the officials of Dingzi Institute, only one person from Fu Xushe and 16 soldiers were left. Gengzi Institute had the most complete system, but it also lost 35 people, including eight strangers and 20 soldiers. Seven soldiers..."
What Li Fan learned before was that officials from all levels of Beiya were almost single handed, and then officers and soldiers at all levels.
But he never expected that there would be such huge casualties at the grassroots deacon level.
Now it seems that even trying to get back on track is difficult. The headquarters may have to start all over again!
