Chapter 106: Restraint

"The old king of Shiwei died suddenly and had no clear heir. Now Shiwei is in chaos. In order to compete for the throne, several powerful princes formed a group of each other and had no time to care about each other. The pressure on the grasslands had disappeared before, which was also why Bayar dared to transfer Huhe's wolf army back." Li Qing walked to the map hanging by the wall and reached out to point the place west of Pamir Pass. On that vast land was the territory ruled by the Shiwei people.

"Huhe's Wolf Running Army has a strong combat power, not inferior to Balyaer's Long Xiao Army. Huhe himself is known as the number one general in the grassland. After he comes back, the pressure we face increases too much."

Mingyan asked carefully: "Master, what should we do?"

"I need someone to go to the Shiwei people to open up the situation, help the Shiwei people stabilize the form, and in a short time, the Shiwei people can re-form a powerful deterrent against the Pamir Pass and restrain Bayar's power." Li Qing said.

"But this move is difficult, and we basically know nothing about Shiwei people, let alone any influence. Especially in the early stage, how to enter Shiwei and how to get close to the influential bigwig among them is the top priority. Once these things are done, we can provide certain help to Shiwei people according to the form."

Li Qing looked at Mingyan with a bright eye, "If you want to go, you can consider a practical solution from now on. After I come back from Luoyang, I can shut down my hands and implement it."

Mingyan pondered for a moment, "Master, it's not a particularly difficult problem to enter and approach their big names. What I want to know is how we can make Shi Wei people excited in the later stage? Let them share the pressure for us?"

In Li Qing's opinion, it was very difficult, but Mingyan felt it was very simple. In Li Qing's opinion, the difficult things were much easier to deal with. This is because different positions determine different ideas and methods.

Li Qing stared at the map, "Do you want to walk on the sea?"

Mingyan nodded, "This is the only way to go from Fuzhou to the sea. Fuzhou Grand Marshal Changxianghou is a confidant of the emperor, but he is greedy. The Fuzhou navy controlled by him has a large number of warships adapted to going to the sea. As long as you give money, there is nothing that cannot be done. As for the area controlled by Lishiwei, I have my own way to get close to their big figures."

Li Qingran was silent, but forgot that Mingyan had the strength to deal with people.

"If you can open up the situation in the area controlled by Shiwei people and form an effective network, then I will think of controlling Fuzhou. From Fuzhou, we can support them, personnel, weapons, technicians, etc., so that their attacks on the grassland people are more efficient, instead of letting the Palacid Pass firmly block them now. Once they break through the Palacid Pass and enter the grassland, Bayar will be happy at that time."

Mingyan hesitated and said, "Master, compared with the grassland people, the Shiwei people are more barbaric and cruel. If we defeat Bayar and put this evil wolf in, wouldn't it lead the wolf into the house? Perhaps the harm will be even more barbarians."

Li Qing smiled, "No need to consider this for the time being. Let's talk about it later, Mingyan, if you can accomplish this, then you have made great contributions to my Changsheng Army. I can promise you that when you return successfully, you will be the deputy director of the Statistical Investigation Department. At the same time, I can also authorize you to organize the second department of the Statistical Investigation Department to form a self-organized part in the Statistical Investigation Department. How about it?"

Mingyan was moved. "Yes, General, I will consider it seriously and will give you a specific plan after you come back from Luoyang."

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction.

After seeing Mingyan off, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief. The comprehensive attack on the grassland will begin after he returned from Luoyang. The over-increasing power of the Statistical Investigation Department must also begin. Mingyan is his next chess piece, but this matter must be explained to Qingfeng at night.

The red candle was unstable, and the wind and clouds were surging on the bed, and after the clouds and rain in Wushan, Li Qing hid in the bed tiredly, and the breeze snuggled in his arms, stretched out his fingers to draw circles on his strong chest, exhaling like orchids, which made Li Qing itchy, and his hand holding her couldn't help but tighten. When he remembered what happened during the day, he couldn't help but think of words in his heart.

"I'm going to let Mingyan take charge of the action against Shi Wei."

"Okay!" Qingfeng was absent-minded, "Anyway, they are idle, so Mingyan is still capable. It's a pity to stay idle in Dingzhou."

"I also promised her that if she succeeds, she will be your deputy and set up another place in the Statistics and Investigation Department." Li Qing said.

Qingfeng's upper body suddenly stood up, and his hands were supported on Li Qing's chest, causing the two plump balls on his chest to sway in front of Li Qing's eyes. Li Qing couldn't help but get confused. He stared at the bright red buds and swallowed secretly.

"One place?" Qingfeng asked in confusion.

Nodding, Li Qing stretched out his hand to grab the shaking thing, pulled Qingfeng down with force, and fell back on himself, "Qingfeng, don't you think the power of the Statistics and Investigation Department is too great now? And no one has effectively restrained it, so it is not a solution."

Qingfeng pouted aggrievedly, "Don't you believe me, don't you believe I can manage the Statistics and Investigation Department?"

Li Qing smiled and said, "Where is this? Qingfeng, I believe in you, but in the future, you will no longer be in this position? You are my woman and it is impossible for you to stay in this position all the time. When a certain time comes, you will retreat. What should you do then?"

Qingfeng was silent for a while, and he was happy and worried. He was happy that he occupied an important position in Li Qing's heart. He was his first woman. He was worried that Li Qing had already begun to worry about her department. "But how can you believe this woman Mingyan? I saw her Yan Xing fox walk, and when she opened her eyes, she looked charming, and when she spoke, she was shocking. She was not a serious woman. Do you want her to monitor me?"

Li Qing laughed: "What are you doing to monitor you? Who is qualified to monitor you except me?" He reached out and patted Qingfeng's butt, "It is not monitoring, but effective mutual restraint. Qingfeng, you cannot expect a department with great power to restrain itself and keep yourself clean. Even if it can be done at the beginning, over time, excessive power will inevitably corrupt it. I know you are absolutely loyal to me, but what about your later position and the subsequent position? No one dares to guarantee it, so there is a saying that is very correct. Absolute power brings absolute corruption, and mutual checks and balances of power are necessary. Therefore, the Statistical Survey Department must set up a department that can check and balance it. In the future, I will use other means to limit its power to grow excessively. Qingfeng, which is effective in protecting you and your successor."

Qingfeng's body twisted, and he said unwillingly: "I know you're right, but you always feel uncomfortable."

"Yes, yes, it's uncomfortable if anyone changes, but Qingfeng, you should be able to figure out who you are, you are my wife, mine is yours."

Qingfeng suddenly fell silent, "I am not your wife. Now I just want my grandma to like me a little more. Don't make things difficult for me."

Li Qing snorted. This was indeed a problem, and it was difficult to solve. "Big Grandma?" He sneered in his heart. Even if Qingfeng had the Statistics and Investigation Department in his hand, who dared to do anything to her? Li Qing knew in his heart that if there was a Big Grandma, it would probably be a political marriage. If this was the case, she would always keep the Statistics and Investigation Department in Qingfeng's hand. In this way, she could only rely more on herself, but she could also effectively protect herself.

"Qingfeng!"

"Um?"

"I remember asking you to check the affairs of Lin Haitao, the former Dingzhou Censor. Why didn't you give me a report after so long? It's not like your style, Qingfeng, I always feel that the Censor's eyes look at me are a bit strange." Li Qing said that after Dingzhou returned to him, the Censor naturally came to see him.

Qingfeng was silent for a long time, "General, he has no problem, so I didn't report it."

The room was silent. After a while, Li Qing's voice sounded quietly, "I asked Yang Yidao to investigate. Lin Haitao is a family of officials, and his father is a powerful Confucian scholar. He has a great influence in the great Chu scholars. Lin Haitao served as the Dingzhou Censorship several years ago and monitored Dingzhou for the court. When he came, he had two daughters in the family. However, after the last time Dingzhou was defeated, no one had seen his daughter again. I heard that her two daughters had died in that disaster."

Qingfeng's body was stiff and stretched little by little. He grabbed Li Qing's fingers and sank deeply into his flesh, and his body trembled slightly.
