Zhao Huan instructed Cao Jie after coming up with a preliminary strategy.
"Cao Jie, continue to send people to monitor Blessing Extending Palace. If there's a situation, immediately come and report to me!”
"This servant will obey!"
After Cao Jie left, Zhao Huan did not plan to continue reading the memorials. He planned to take a walk outside the palace.
He hadn't had a good tour around the huge palace yet. He wanted to take some time out to take a walk and get some fresh air.
However, just as Zhao Huan reached the door, Xu Hui rushed over.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial City Bureau has sent new information!”
Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows." What information?”
"Your Majesty, two hours ago, Majesty Kang left Blessing Extending Palace and personally went to Cai Jing's residence. An hour ago, after Majesty Kang left Cai Jing's residence, he went to Tong Guan's residence.”
Hearing Xu Hui's report, Zhao Huan connected Zhao Gou's whereabouts today.
"First, I went to the Blessing Extending Palace and had a secret conversation with Zhao Ji for four hours. After I left the palace, I went to see Cai Jing and then Tong Guan.”
Zhao Huan tapped his finger lightly on the table, his expression changing unpredictably.
Xu Hui stood at the side, not daring to say anything.
After a while, Zhao Huan asked Xu Hui,"Did the spies of the Imperial City Bureau find out the exact content of their conversation?"”
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Because they all have trusted aides with them, they are extremely guarded. It is not easy for our spies to get close and they did not find out. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The people of the Imperial City Department are taking action quickly and using various methods to spy on the contents of their conversation!”
Zhao Huan nodded." Find out the exact content of their conversation as soon as possible and report it to me in time!"”
"Yes!"
"Xu Hui, how's the progress of the inventory of Gao Qiu's assets?" Zhao Huan asked Xu Hui.”
"Your Majesty, because Gao Qiu's assets are too many and too miscellaneous, it will still take one or two days to fully count them. However, we have already finished counting the silver in Gao Qiu's residence and the exact amount is out!”
"How many?"
"There's a total of 3,670,000 taels of silver in Gao Qiu's residence. If we add in the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and good farmland, the total should be more than five to six million taels!”
When Zhao Huan heard this amount, he was also extremely shocked.
"Tsk tsk, he actually has so much cash. This Gao Qiu is really a good fellow. A Grand Commandant actually managed to get so much property.”
Thinking of this, Zhao Huan was filled with anticipation."If Grand Commandant Gao Qiu has so much wealth, wouldn't Cai Jing and Tong Guan have even more?”
"Xu Hui, take out five hundred taels of silver from these few million taels of silver and reward them to your subordinates. How you distribute it is up to you. Zhen hopes that you won't put it in your own pocket.”
Xu Hui was delighted and quickly thanked him,""I thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of my subordinates!”
Was five hundred taels of silver a lot? Actually, it wasn't much.
But in Xu Hui's view, this was not a matter of money, but a kind of grace from Zhao Huan.
He sympathized with his subordinates 'kindness.
Even if he was only rewarded with one tael of silver, it was still a favor from the emperor.
Following an emperor who was clear about rewards and punishments, one's enthusiasm for doing things would be much higher.
After Xu Hui left Chuigong Palace Hall, his entire heart was in a state of excitement.
"It's really good to work with His Majesty, haha!”
Time passed day by day, and Zhao Huan lived his life according to the rules.
In the past few days, the number of times Zhao Ji and Zhao Gou met, as well as the number of times Zhao Gou met Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, and the others, had also increased.
Even though they were very secretive, they were still discovered by the spies of the Imperial City Bureau.
One after another, reports were placed in front of Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huan urged Chong Lin to train the 'Dragon Might Army' as soon as possible to improve their compatibility.
After a few days of training, the Dragon Might Army, which was originally made up of elites, had already completed the initial running-in, and its combat strength had also greatly increased.
Even though Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji didn't have a direct confrontation, Zhao Huan knew very well that once they did, it would definitely be an extremely dangerous confrontation.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
On this day, Zhao Huan was admiring the small bridge and flowing water in the harem when Cao Jie barged in with Li Gang.
Li Gang shouted at Zhao Huan from afar,"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the army is in a hurry to report!”
Zhao Huan's heart tightened when he heard that. He quickly went up to him."Have the Jin soldiers reached the north bank of the Yellow River?”
Li Gang quickly handed a report to Zhao Huan.
"Your Majesty, according to the reports of the scouts, the Jin Kingdom East Route Army led by Wanyan Zongwang arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River an hour ago. But strangely, they didn't cross the river immediately. It seems that they are resting and planning to cross the river tomorrow!”
Zhao Huan took a deep breath after reading the information that Li Gang handed over.
"What should come will come. As long as we win this battle, many things will be easy to handle!”
Although the Jin soldiers had already reached the north bank of the Yellow River, Zhao Huan was not too flustered.
Moreover, he could not panic.
If he, the emperor, started to panic now, it would probably affect the morale of the army.
"Li Gang, are the defensive measures in the city ready?”
Li Gang nodded seriously." Your Majesty, it's all done. All the major city gates, including the water gates, are equipped with the corresponding military forces. Moreover, a volunteer camp has been established in the city and a reserve team has been prepared to be on standby!”
Seeing Li Gang's confident expression, Zhao Huan heaved a sigh of relief."That's good!"
Suddenly, Zhao Huan remembered something and asked Li Gang,""Right, Li Gang, is there twenty thousand cavalry stationed at Mou Tuo Gang?”
With Zhao Huan's reminder, Li Gang slapped his forehead and quickly apologized,"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I actually forgot about this. I almost let the imperial court's remaining 20,000 warhorses be handed over to the golden bandits.”
Zhao Huan waved his hand." Now is not the time to talk about this. Immediately send someone to transfer these 20,000 cavalrymen back to the city. These are the only horses left in the imperial court. We can't lose them. Go quickly and don't delay!”
"This humble subject will go now. This humble subject will take his leave!”
