After everyone finalized their strategy, Ji Luochen began to give orders.
First, Wei Zhuang and other Liusha leaders were asked to leave Qizhou in advance.
Now that King Qi doesn't know that he knows about his rebellion, Wei Zhuang and others can easily sneak in.
Then Ji Luochen called Zuo Qianhu again.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
Ji Luochen said slowly: "Commander Zuo, you immediately lead the people to seal off the entire imperial city. No one is allowed to enter or exit. Anyone who dares to disobey will be executed on the spot."
"Remember, no matter what identity or person, as long as they want to force their way out of the city, they will be captured."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zuo Qianhu knew that the matter was urgent and did not dare to neglect it at all.
Because next, His Majesty will definitely deploy troops and generals. If the matter is exposed in advance and King Qi is alert, there may be many mishaps.
After Zuo Qianhu left, Ji Luochen knew that although he could temporarily block the news, it would not be airtight. King Qi would definitely get the news one day.
But he just wants to make this time difference.
Qizhou and the Imperial City are not very far apart.
Originally Qizhou was just a backward and remote place.
But the location is very good. It is behind the imperial city and belongs to the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Because there was no need to face any enemies, there was no heavy guarding between Qizhou and the Imperial City.
The two places are only one county apart.
It was precisely Qizhou's superior geographical location that made it easier for King Qi to rebel.
Thinking of this, Ji Luochen couldn't help but feel speechless at his cheap father.
What were you thinking at the beginning? How could you put such a dangerous and ambitious person behind you?
You guarded against the tigers and wolves in Northern Liao and the Western Regions, but you failed to guard against the ambitious people.
Fortunately, he discovered it in time and did not let the situation get out of control.
The land between Qizhou and the Imperial City is the key to his race against time.
As long as the army sent by oneself can occupy that county first, there will be enough buffer.
The battlefield will not be placed under the imperial city.
"It is said that Wei Qinglong in Jinyi, Cao Zhengchun in the East Factory, and Yuhuatian in the West Factory came to see me."
"It's Your Majesty."
Eunuch Chen quickly ran to pass the message.
Not long after, the three Qinglong people who received the news rushed over.
"My lord, Qinglong."
"Your Majesty, Cao Zhengchun."
"My lord, rain transforms the fields."
"See Your Majesty."
Seeing the three of them, Ji Luochen said in a deep voice: "Qinglong, you take the Jin Yiwei to Qizhou and be responsible for taking care of Wei Zhuang and the others. You don't need to take action, you just need to investigate the intelligence and help Wei Zhuang and the others at the critical moment."
"It's Your Majesty."
Qinglong took the order and left.
Ji Luochen then spoke to Cao Zhengchun and Yuhuatian.
"Cao Zhengchun, the people you lead in Dongchang are responsible for cooperating with Commander Zuo in imposing martial law on the imperial city. Remember, if you find anyone suspicious, you can arrest them directly."
Cao Zhengchun said quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After speaking, Cao Zhengchun also stood up and left.
Ji Luochen finally said to Yuhuatian: "Yuhuatian, you and the people from Xichang are responsible for acting secretly, and I will do your best to track down any Qizhou spies who may be hiding in the imperial city."
"It's best to intercept their secret messages and don't let them send the news back to Qizhou prematurely."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yuhuatian also accepted the order and left.
After all arrangements were made, Ji Luochen waited for the morning meeting tomorrow to start dispatching troops and generals to start the crusade against King Qi.
After everything was arranged, Ji Luochen and Yao Yue strolled along the corridor of the palace.
"Yue'er, you must be careful when you go. You have a heavy responsibility in the assassination of King Qi this time, but don't act recklessly. If it's not possible, don't take action forcefully."
"The King of Qi has been forbearing for ten years and has recruited many powerful people from all over the world. Even if you are strong, your life will be in danger if you are attacked by many experts."
"I don't want anything to happen to you, because in the future I will travel with you to the beautiful lakes and mountains of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty."
Hearing Ji Luochen's words, Yao Yue couldn't help but be moved in her heart, and her voice was no longer so cold, but a little more gentle.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This time I will take action to take the head of King Qi."
"No one can take away your husband's empire."
Ji Luochen nodded movedly and stretched out his hand to touch Yao Yue's cheek: "Yue'er, I believe you, then I will wait for your good news. When you come back, I promise to give you a title."
"Well, I'm leaving. Wait until I come back."
After finishing speaking, Yao Yue's figure slowly rose into the sky, dressed in white, like a fairy under the moon, and disappeared into the sky.
Ji Luochen stopped and was stunned for a moment. After Eunuch Chen reminded him, Ji Luochen came back to his senses.
"Your Majesty, let's go back. Don't catch a cold."
Ji Luochen, who came back to her senses, reluctantly glanced at the horizon where Yao Yue's figure had disappeared, and then turned back.
Early the next morning.
The civil and military officials from all over the dynasty came to the outside of the pilgrimage hall in neat clothes.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, every time the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty came to the pilgrimage hall, their legs and feet would become weak involuntarily and they would feel fear in their hearts.
The new emperor killed who knows how many people in the pilgrimage hall, and he didn't know how many officials and members of the nine clans were confiscated.
They were really afraid that the new emperor's next target would be on them this morning.
At the same time, a group of ministers also discovered that there seemed to be many missing officials in today's morning court.
Many familiar figures did not come.
Upon discovering this situation, the officials did not need to think too much and guessed that those officials who did not come to court must have been secretly dealt with by the new emperor.
Thinking of this, everyone's soles felt even colder.
How many people will this new emperor have to kill before he can stop?
If this continues, all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will probably be killed by the new emperor, right?
Everyone walked into the hall silently one by one with apprehension.
As a sharp voice sounded, "Your Majesty has arrived."
All the civil and military officials of the dynasty knelt on the ground, not even daring to breathe.
Ji Luochen walked to the dragon chair, leaned over and sat down, glanced at the kneeling civil and military officials in the hall, and said calmly: "My dear friends, please get back on your feet."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After all the officials stood up, Ji Luochen said: "My dear friends, you should have seen that some of you were not able to come to court."
"I won't hide it from you. All those officials were arrested by me last night."
"Do you know why I want to arrest them?"
All the officials shook their heads and did not dare to say a word at all.
Ji Luochen said calmly: "I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. The reason why we want to arrest those officials is because they were all involved in King Qi's rebellion."
"Wow!!!"
After Ji Luochen's words fell, everyone in the civil and military circles took a breath of cold air.
King Qi actually wants to rebel?
This is a shocking secret. They never thought that the idle prince who always gave people the impression of being a drunkard would actually want to rebel.
At this time, Wu Yue, the Minister of Rites, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, is your news true?"
"King Qi is your Majesty's uncle. If there is no evidence, it may have a very big impact and damage your Majesty's reputation."
Ji Luochen said calmly: "I have naturally found out the evidence. Wang An, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and He Feng, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, are the eyes and ears installed by the King of Qi in the court."
Hearing Ji Luochen talk about Wang An and He Feng, the expressions of the civil and military officials in the court changed drastically.
There is a minister and a right minister. It seems that the story of King Qi's rebellion will not be false.
