Wu Wu Wu Youjue and the others were also useless.

Looking around now.

He found that only Jia Hui had the most outstanding ability and was the most worthy of his trust.

And hearing that it was the Military and Horse Division again!

Ever since Jia Hui took control of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.

There had been earth-shattering changes!

It was completely incomparable to before!

Indeed.

A flock of sheep led by a wolf will become a flock of wolves!

A flock of wolves led by a sheep will become a flock of sheep!

The leader is too important!

This made him even more appreciative of Jia Hui's "I urge the Heavens to shake off their lethargy, and not be bound by convention in selecting talent"!

He only felt that Jia Hui was full of ambition and governing strategies.

And Li Li Li Shimin heard his frustration with his official career in his poem.

Love Love Like Jia Hui, a loyal and capable official, facing the treacherous officials and thieves in the court, in this situation, must be heartbroken.

"Alas, my Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo is truly a loyal official with great ability!"

He felt that Jia Hui hadn't been given enough opportunities.

If he had been promoted earlier and reused more.

He would surely have been able to solve many troubles for him, right?

This made Li Li Li Shimin increasingly want to increase his efforts to reuse Jia Hui!

"With Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo here, I am at ease."

"But I fear it is not enough; call the Flying Wolf Battalion to reinforce as well!"

"If there is any resistance, kill without mercy!"

Immediately, Li Li Li Shimin said coldly.

At this moment, he didn't have many troops he could mobilize.

He found that he still had to rely on Jia Hui's troops.

"You must immediately carry the imperial decree and control the Yulin Guard Left Cavalry Battalion, and temporarily detain them for interrogation."

"In short, tell Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo that everything is under his full command, and he should feel free to act boldly."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wu Wu Wu Youjue, the Prince of Dongchuan, Lei Jing, Yang Huan, and the others all felt even more deeply how much the Emperor relied on Jia Hui!

This was no surprise!

Even before Jia Hui appeared.

The foster son the Emperor relied on and trusted most couldn't be relied upon!

Who else could he rely on and trust now besides Jia Hui?

Who else could he trust?

And whose ability was stronger than his?

None!

Not a single one?

Xu Xu Xu Lingyi? Forget it!

Ten of him couldn't compare; Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo could easily beat him with one hand!

Everyone was deeply convinced of this.

Subsequently.

Wu Wu Wu Youjue, the Prince of Dongchuan, and Lei Jing left together with the imperial decree.

Because the situation was urgent.

They were all in a hurry.

And Li Li Li Shimin didn't just wait around.

Because he still had to ask for instructions and notify the Retired Emperor.

Although he believed that with the Retired Emperor's intelligence capabilities, he would surely know.

But he still had to go through the motions.

This matter could be big or small.

Ling Buxu was his man, so it was fine.

How to deal with it, others basically wouldn't say anything.

But the Yulin Guard Left Cavalry Battalion was different.

Most of them were nobles.

Basically, they were all people from the Retired Emperor's faction.

Arresting so many people.

It wouldn't do not to inform the Retired Emperor.

At this time.

The Retired Emperor was in a large hall.

Drinking and making merry.

Enjoying the singing and dancing of palace maids.

As the Retired Emperor, his aura was extraordinary.

He wore a golden high crown, inlaid with two rows of twelve purple precious jades, shining brightly. His yellow silk robe was wrapped with dazzling pearls, luxurious and noble, and even his belt was made of night-luminescent pearls the size of an infant's fist, shining and reflecting each other.

Compared to his son, who was of medium build and worked hard to govern.

Having lived deep in the palace for many years, eating, drinking, and playing without taking a step, his figure was exceptionally fat, lying on the dragon couch Love Love Like a mountain of flesh, leaning in the arms of a beauty who was cleaning his ears.

There were two other palace maids kneeling on the ground, carefully trimming his fingernails and toenails, and several palace maids around holding fruit containers and the Love Love Like.

Truly, few people in the world could compare to this kind of pomp and circumstance.

He was lying on a platform three levels high.

Below the steps were twenty Dragon Guard officers standing on both sides!

Just one look at this momentum was enough to chill the heart of the timid.

"What is he here for?"

At this moment, hearing the notification from his eunuch Gao Zhan, his pale face, slightly bloated from excessive drinking, frowned slightly.

The Retired Emperor's face, when he was young, was clearly handsome, but now he was old, full of wrinkles, yet his eyes were still sharp, his forehead broad, and his appearance dignified!

It was just slightly thin, and his lips didn't look thick enough.

His aura was that of a full-fledged ruler!

"Let him in."

The Retired Emperor said calmly.

But he scolded the dancers who had stopped: "Why have you all stopped? Keep dancing, keep playing the music!"

The palace maids were frightened and hurriedly continued.

For a time, there was singing and dancing, and the air was thick with perfume.

【366】 The Retired Emperor's suppression and counterattack, a balancing act that achieves multiple goals

Subsequently.

Li Li Li Shimin walked into the hall cautiously.

He ignored the palace maids.

Seeing the Retired Emperor, who was Love Love Like a mountain of flesh, he immediately bowed respectfully.

"Your son pays his respects to Father Emperor!"

Even as Emperor, he still had to call himself "your son" in front of the Retired Emperor.

The Retired Emperor, who didn't move, lay on his side and spoke in a faint voice:

"Rise."

"What is the matter?"

Li Li Li Shimin then respectfully explained the situation.

After hearing this, the Retired Emperor frowned: "Why is it this kid again!"

Everyone present knew who the "kid" he was talking about was!

Who else could it be but Marquis Marquis Wushuang Bo Jia Hui!

Ever since he returned.

He had been making big news every single day.

In remote villages in the Great Great Great Qian, there must be people who don't know Jia Hui's name!

But in the capital city of Shenjing, with its hundreds of thousands of permanent residents and many tourists.

A million people all knew Jia Hui.

They could recount his deeds Love Love Like a family heirloom.

After the newspaper came out.

It was even more so!

And more and more travelers and merchants were taking every issue of the newspaper to all parts of the world when they left the capital, spreading Jia Hui's name even further.

However.

For the Retired Emperor, hearing Jia Hui's name was truly annoying!

It even gave him a headache!

He was too good at causing trouble!

The key was that he was always causing trouble for his subordinates!

From the founding lineage to Song Liang, the Gu family, the Yuan family, etc.

Which one of them wasn't his man!

It caused these people to constantly come to the palace to plead for mercy!

But the scandals of these guys were true.

Either rebellion or massive scandals.

It made him want to scold them.

It was hard for him to shamelessly stand up for them.

Hearing that Jia Hui was at it again!

He really wanted to laugh in anger: "Is this kid Sun Sun Sun Wukong? Sun Sun Sun Wukong only caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace once; this guy is causing trouble in the sky every day!"

Emperor Li Li Li Shimin was speechless after hearing this!

Actually, deep down.

He also felt that Jia Hui was too good at causing trouble...

He often scared him too!

But unlike the Retired Emperor.

The things Jia Hui did and the people he eliminated were all beneficial to him.

For example, he now controlled the Ministry of War.

The Minister of War was now very obedient to him.

In his heart, he considered Jia Hui, this Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, to be loyal to him as well.

So he considered his own strength to have improved quite a bit.

Plus, he had dealt a series of blows to the Retired Emperor's faction.

It was a blow after blow to the Retired Emperor and his faction.

Consequently, his prestige had also risen significantly.

Therefore.

He was happy to see Jia Hui causing so much trouble!

And this time.

Although it hit Ling Buxu, he didn't blame Jia Hui.

He was truly incompetent.

And the key was that this also involved more of the Retired Emperor's nobles.

Overall, the harvest might be even greater.

However, he naturally couldn't say much.

The Retired Emperor, who had been laughed into anger by Jia Hui, thought for a moment: "I know about this matter."

"Control the Yulin Guard Left Cavalry Battalion if you must."

"But this time, the Suspended Mirror Division is responsible for investigating this case!"

Hearing this.

Emperor Li Li Li Shimin frowned slightly.

He secretly guessed the Retired Emperor's intention.

He soon understood roughly.

This should be a counterattack by the Retired Emperor.

The exercise of power.

To tell Li Li Li Shimin.

No matter how much the Monkey King causes trouble, he cannot jump out of his Five Finger Mountain.

And not to give him the opportunity to continue growing.

If Jia Hui succeeded in solving the case.

There would certainly be rewards again.

This would indirectly strengthen Li Li Li Shimin.

And if Jia Hui took the opportunity to purge the Yulin Guard Left Cavalry Battalion.

Arresting and clearing out too many noble sons.

Then the Yulin Guard Left Cavalry Battalion would no longer be under the Retired Emperor's control.

This was something the Retired Emperor could not tolerate!

He could not lose military power!

And it was also a form of protection for the noble sons.

It was also indirectly maintaining and strengthening his ruling authority.

Making up for Li Li Li Shimin's previous attacks!

Most importantly, there was no clear evidence of rebellion this time, it was at most a corruption case, so Li Li Li Shimin couldn't find any excuse, and the Retired Emperor could intervene without concern.

In short.

Letting the Suspended Mirror Division intervene was beneficial to the Retired Emperor, and a blow and warning to Li Li Li Shimin!

It was truly a high-level balancing act!

A brilliant balancing act!

Li Li Li Shimin felt a chill in his heart.

He then knew that nothing could be done.

And recently.

He had already achieved.

Huge gains that he hadn't achieved in the many years he had been supervising the country and ascending the throne.
