Shen Zhiruo realized something: "The imperial concubine means to have people design an ambush in advance on the way the Taiwei must pass to help the father, and then kill them in the name of others?"

"Yes," Liu Shuyan replied affirmatively, but still reminded Shen, "But Li Mi is very cunning. Although he is not very talkative on weekdays, his thoughts are very deep. Your Highness must pay attention to the wording. But no matter what Said, at this critical moment, His Highness's move will definitely arouse his suspicion, and then we need to see how His Highness will deal with these details."

In the early morning of the next day, after discussing with all the ministers about some big and small matters that need to be discussed and resolved in the near future, Shen Zhi took advantage of everyone's focus on the last thing and didn't pay much attention to her, and sent an inquiry to Liu Xiuyun gaze.

It just so happened that Liu Xiuyun's gaze fell on Shen Zhi at this time, and when Shen Zhi looked at him, he nodded almost imperceptibly, and then joined the topic of the court, making people feel that he was clearly listening carefully Everyone speaks.

After he had made up his mind on the last thing, Shen Zhi sat up straight, with a more serious expression on his face than before.Seeing this, the courtiers also knew that she might have something important to announce, so they stopped all discussions and leaned slightly towards her, waiting for her to speak.

"There is one more thing I would like to discuss with you gentlemen." After a pause, Shen Zhi finally turned his gaze to Li Mi, smiled at her, and then looked at the ministers again, and said unhurriedly, "Yesterday, the lonely harvest I received a secret letter from my father, saying that there is a slight shortage of food and grass on the front line, and I hope I can arrange for a trustworthy general to escort food and grass from the capital to prepare for emergencies. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anyone to recommend?"

Shen knew that everyone was asking this question, but just now she looked at Li Mi for no reason, and smiled kindly at him, which already aroused Li Mi's vigilance.

However, he was not in a hurry to figure out what Shen Zhi's intention was, he just lowered his eyes a little, and clenched his teeth, as if he was waiting for something.

Just when the ministers listened to Shen Zhi's words and started whispering, Du Qinning suddenly stood up, bowed and begged for orders: "Your Highness, I would like to go, even if I risk my life, I will definitely transport the food and grass intact." Go to the front line." After discussing with Liu Shuyan yesterday, Shen Zhi sent someone to call Du Qinning into the East Palace, and informed her of the plan with Liu Shuyan, so she also knew about it.

Shen Zhi said that Shen Tianhe asked her to send a trustworthy confidant to go there, and Du Qinning was also in court at this time, if she remained indifferent, it would inevitably lead to doubts about Shen Zhi's real motives.And if she took the lead in volunteering, even if she couldn't hide the truth from Li Mi, an old cunning man, it should be more than enough to deceive some people who don't know the whole story of these things.

As soon as Du Qinning said this, the courtiers' discussions became louder.Shen Zhi didn't dissuade him either, but waited for a while for the hall to become a little quieter, then looked at Liu Xiuyun again, and asked, "What does the Prime Minister think of this matter?"

Hearing this, Liu Xiuyun came out of the queue unhurriedly, saluted, and then slowly expressed his thoughts: "Return to Your Highness, Du Taifu is originally Zhongliang, and he grew up with His Highness before. If you send her there, His Highness will be trustworthy, and your subjects will be quite supportive. However, the servant Du has just taken up a new post, and the handover with the adjutant has not been completed in many matters. If the servant goes to the front at this time, This back and forth will also take a lot of time, so what should be done with the affairs that should be under the jurisdiction of the imperial servant? Even if we take a step back, the war and court affairs are another matter. Which talented person should I invite to take over?"

Liu Xiuyun said it tactfully, but no one could tell that he was "opposed" to this matter.

"Prime Minister is right. Although the support to the front line is of great importance, in times of foreign turmoil, we must not slack off in all matters at home and abroad. Du Aiqing's heart is single-minded, but it is not appropriate for you to go forward with this matter." After all, wait After Liu Xiuyun and Du Qinning returned to the queue, Shen Zhicai looked at Wei Feng again and asked, "According to uncle, who is the most appropriate to send?"

"According to what I see, it should be the most appropriate time for Grand Captain Li to go." Wei Feng replied.

"Oh? Why?"

"That day when the sage was in charge of the expedition, Mr. Li, as a captain, was supposed to accompany him, but he was helplessly sick, so he put the matter aside for the time being. Now that Mr. Li has recovered, there is nothing important to do in the court. If you do it, you will take this opportunity to rush to the front line to share the worries of the saints and fulfill your duty as a loyal minister."

Wei Feng held Li Mi's hat high, if Li Mi did not agree to this matter, Shen Zhi could just use the problem to make use of it, and find a way to charge him with infidelity and misconduct, which would save a lot of trouble.Besides, Wei Feng was a man of great foresight. This was known to all courts when Wei Qian'er was still alive. Now that he has said so, and what he said is reasonable, many neutral courtiers have turned to him On this side, I agree with this approach.

But this kind of thing, no matter if it is Wei Feng or Shen Zhi, it doesn't count. You have to ask Li Mi himself whether he agrees or not.

So after Wei Feng finished speaking, Shen Zhi also nodded slightly in agreement, then looked at Li Mi, and asked, "What do you think of Guang Luqing's proposal?"

"The subject is willing to go and share the worries of His Majesty and His Highness." In this situation, Li Mi seems to have no reason to refuse.However, he unexpectedly agreed so readily, and Shen Zhi couldn't help being a little surprised, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.

But since he has agreed, Shen Zhi has nothing to say.After arranging some specific affairs and instructing Li Mi some things as usual, Shen Zhi announced his withdrawal from the court.

She gave Li Mi two days to go to the school grounds to count troops and count food and grass. In these two days, she also happened to be able to secretly arrange some other things to deal with some accidents that might be encountered when intercepting and killing Li Mi.Just in case, Shen Zhi also specially sent three groups of people to ambush in different places, in case one failed, the plan would not be completely defeated.

But no matter what, Shen Zhi was still reluctant to let Daguo's own soldiers kill each other just because he wanted to get rid of Li Mi alone.So after much deliberation, Shen Zhi thought of a relatively compromise solution.She specially instructed Du Qinning to secretly arrange some of the soldiers who were going to go with Li Mi as people she could trust before Li Mi went to order troops, and told them to cooperate with them when the time came.In this way, among the soldiers led by Li Mi, there will be some people who will not fight to the death, but will be "instigated" temporarily, and the casualties on both sides should be much less than the original.

After doing all this, Shen Zhi personally sent Li Mi and his soldiers, horses, food and grass to leave the capital on the third day, and then returned to the East Palace to wait for the final news.In the next few days, everything was as usual, but Shen Zhi always felt that whether it was in the court or in the palace, it seemed a bit too calm.However, nothing out of the ordinary happened in the capital. After a few days, Shen Zhi began to feel that he was just thinking too much.
