Chapter 682 The layout of the Chu palace
Every emperor has a dream of conquering the country personally.
Although they also knew that personally conquering the chariot was not necessarily the best plan, few of them could bear it.
"There has been no movement from the imperial court on this matter, but if the day comes to send troops to Goguryeo, the possibility of His Majesty personally conducting the expedition is still very high."
"So, His Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of overseeing the country?"
Wu Meiniang couldn't help but show a trace of worry on her face.
The relationship between the Prince of Chu's Palace, the East Palace and the Prince of Wei's Palace is not very good. This is no secret.
Although you didn't mean to offend, if you don't take sides in the battle for the throne, it often means that both parties regard you as an enemy.
Of course, at the beginning, both parties try to win over you. At that time, you can still consider playing both sides or dragging them along.
However, over time, both Li Chengqian and Li Tai had seen clearly that Li Kuan could not be used by them.
At this time, Li Kuan was an obstacle.
"I think so, but it's too early to discuss this matter now!"
No matter when Li Shimin attacked Goguryeo, Li Kuan was not very worried.
The Intelligence and Investigation Bureau of the Prince of Chu has been deployed in Goguryeo for nearly ten years. Although it cannot be said that it has a clear picture of the situation in Goguryeo, at least it will not be blinded.
Even by organizing former Sui immigrants, the Intelligence and Investigation Bureau of the Prince of Chu could organize a thousand-man army in Goguryeo, which could bring unexpected attacks to Goguryeo at critical moments.
"Your Majesty, the dispute between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Wei is getting more and more intense. I heard that His Highness the King of Wei has received frequent rewards from His Majesty recently. Some censors impeached His Highness the King of Wei for his extravagant behavior. As a result, His Majesty rewarded him with more property.
He. Now many people in Chang'an City think that King Wei may be the final winner."
Wu Meiniang was not only interested in the commercial matters of the Chu Palace, but also paid close attention to the affairs in the court.
"The truth is often in the hands of a few people. I feel that Qingque may not be the final winner. Don't worry, Mei Niang. No matter what changes happen in the court, I have the confidence to deal with it."
What Li Kuan said is not an exaggeration.
No matter how bad things go, he still has several escape routes from Japan and Puluozhong, so he doesn't have to worry too much about the situation deteriorating to the point where it is uncontrollable.
"In this case, Mei Niang has a suggestion to expand the scale of some SF Escort Bureaus. Now the Royal Bank of the Tang Dynasty has branches in many state capitals, and the bank notes issued by the bank have been slowly accepted by merchants. Seeing that
The money bank business is booming, and several other money banks have popped up in the Tang Dynasty in recent years, and the demand for bodyguards from the bodyguards has also become strong."
Obviously, Wu Meiniang felt that the escorts of Shunfeng Escort Agency were another force that the Prince of Chu's Palace could hold openly and honestly.
Not to mention tens of thousands, there is still no problem if we put a few hundred people in Chang'an City.
The most important thing is that SF Escort can not only set up its headquarters in Chang'an City, but also set up semicolons in many places where needed.
As long as Li Kuan thinks that any state or county needs its own manpower, he can set up a semicolon there, and there will be no problem at all in placing a hundred or so bodyguards.
A little adds up to a big thing. If you really want to calculate it, the power of SF Escort Agency will definitely not be small.
The guards of the Prince of Chu's Palace, the bodyguards of the Shunfeng Escort Agency, and the police officers of the Police Department, the Prince of Chu's Palace has three armed forces at its disposal in Chang'an City.
At the critical moment, unless there is an official blow from the imperial court, no one can easily shake the status of the Chu Palace.
"This is fine. Junmai, you go to the SF Escort Agency and stay for a while to increase the scale of the agency. Also, you can teach the rangers and bandits from all over Guanzhong a lesson and establish the reputation of the SF Escort Agency."
Li Kuan thought about it and felt that Wu Meiniang's suggestion was not bad.
The development of escort agencies has always been accompanied by the prosperity of money banks.
Although there is a demand for escort agencies in other fields, no industry can compare with banks.
Now that Datang's business has become more and more prosperous, the demand for escort agencies has naturally become stronger.
Although there is no internal war in the Tang Dynasty, it is not peaceful either.
The area around Chang'an is fine. A little further away, bandits who dominate the mountains appear from time to time.
It's just that these bandits generally don't dare to hurt passers-by at will. Even if they rob, they mainly steal property, so they don't cause much commotion.
"Your Majesty, what will happen to your safety if this subordinate goes to the SF Escort Agency?"
Xi Junmai is now Li Kuan's personal bodyguard and stays with Li Kuan almost every day.
On the contrary, Xue Rengui now has an official position in the imperial court. Last year, several armies of the imperial court had returned from Xue Yantuo's side, but he still led a group of people to sweep up the grassland. He had to leave a deep mark on the barbarians on the grassland.
lesson.
As for Wang Xuanwu, everyone is used to his elusiveness.
From time to time, he would disappear next to Li Kuan.
"Don't worry, the guards of the palace have all undergone special training. They are no match for others. In addition, there are special hand crossbows. There is no problem with my safety. Besides, I am not asking you to go to SF Escort Agency to ask you to go far away.
To the ends of the earth, you will still be in Chang'an City most of the time. If anything happens, you can come back at any time."
Although Li Kuan is very afraid of death, he really doesn't worry about his safety now.
Not to mention that his carriage is specially made, it is very powerful both defensively and offensively.
And every time he went out, three identical carriages would appear, and outsiders would not be able to figure out which carriage Li Kuan was in.
Two of these three carriages were specially designed to protect Li Kuan. No more powerful carriage could be found in the entire Tang Dynasty.
If necessary, three carriages and accompanying guards are enough to deal with any attack of less than 300 people.
There were only a handful of people in Chang'an City who had the ability to mobilize more than 300 elite troops to attack Li Kuan without alerting anyone.
Besides, at the critical moment, if a rocket is launched, the people from the hot air balloon camp can immediately come to rescue from the air.
"After the establishment of the police station, the security situation in Chang'an City has improved a lot. Your Majesty, I think we can let some of the guards in the palace go to the police station to serve as police officers, and then we can train some more guards."
Wu Meiniang continued to put forward her own suggestions.
The current situation in the DPRK made her feel uneasy.
As long as the power of the Chu Palace continues to be strengthened, she can feel more at ease.
"Instead of arranging the guards directly at the police station, it would be better to arrange them as instructors at the Datang Police Academy. Then their role may be greater."
