However, Li Zhi did not have a good reason to kill these people.
Killing innocent soldiers, even those soldiers who were still loyal to the court would feel uneasy and threatened.
Li Zhi glanced at these people, then looked at the remaining 122 generals and said,"Now, return to the team and pick out the people you think are not suitable!”
He knew that these people who were loyal to him were always with these soldiers. They naturally knew who each soldier was close to and what they were thinking.
Immediately, the hundred or so generals returned to the five thousand men team.
"Come out!"
"Get out!"
.......
After a round of selection, more than 500 people were selected.
This was not a large number of people.
After all, these 5,000 people had already been selected, and these 500 people were added in. Most of them were spies, brainwashed and loyal to Wu Zetian and Chen Yuanyuan.
After eliminating these people, Li Zhi passed through such a team. Throughout the entire process, the hair on his hands did not stand up at all.
Li Zhi was very satisfied and secretly praised himself for his wit.
However, Fan Kuai and Dian Wei had no idea what Li Zhi was up to.
After all, they didn't have a way to test people's hearts.
At this moment, Chen Anguo's heart turned even colder.
He knew many of the soldiers that Li Zhi had picked out. After all, he had been with these soldiers for a long time.
And the people who were picked out were actually Empress Chen and Empress Wu.
"Could it be that Li Zhi has been monitoring this place for a long time? He could even pick out a soldier who was planted in the camp?”
Even though Chen Anguo was a general, his body was trembling slightly, and his head was drenched in sweat.
He even had a faint killing intent. If Li Zhi did anything extreme, he would immediately order a mutiny and chop Li Zhi and his 200 followers into meat paste.
However, now that the other party had selected five thousand elite soldiers, it would be difficult to kill them.
"General Chen, is it very hot here? Why are you sweating?"
Just as Chen Anguo was letting his imagination run wild, Li Zhi had already arrived beside him.
Chen Anguo was shocked and quickly smiled bitterly,""I've been ill recently, that's why I'm doing this!”
"Is that so? Since she was sick, she should stay at home and recuperate. There was no need to force her.”Li Zhi chuckled.
"Also, why are you shaking?" Li Zhi leaned closer to Chen Anguo, which gave Chen Anguo immense pressure.
"Ah, no, no." Chen Anguo quickly denied it, feeling guilty.
"Hahaha." Li Zhi laughed loudly and left with his 4,500-man army.
These soldiers were temporarily arranged by Li Zhi to be stationed in a temporary military camp on the other side of the Imperial City. At the same time, Li Zhi had 100,000 taels of silver to get the Ministry of Works to build a military camp here overnight.
They wanted to build a camp that could accommodate 30,000 soldiers.、
The silver used was naturally confiscated from Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen's homes.
That night, Li Zhi found that he had once again received a system reward. He was rewarded with 100 Body Tempering Pills, 300 sets of Divine River Battle Armor, and 300 Green Petal Swords.
This made Li Zhi extremely ecstatic. He directly pressed Diao Chan against the pillar and kissed her madly.
Diao Chan's shy body was covered in red.
Li Zhi guessed that it might have something to do with him scaring Chen Anguo so badly that he was trembling in fear. It might also have something to do with the fact that those traitors were selected and completely intimidated the remaining 20,000-odd imperial guards.
Right now, he was thinking of transforming this 4500-man army. What he lacked was a large number of Body Tempering Pills. He did not expect the system's reward this time to be quite impressive.
Back then, he used 13 Body Tempering Pills to transform 1300 Dragon Guards and Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Now that he had obtained 100 pills, he could transform a team of 10000 people.
At night, when the lights were on, Li Zhi was lying in the hot bath. Diao Chan was wrapped in a light gauze dress and was massaging Li Zhi to relax.
Meanwhile, Li Zhi was thinking about his next step.
Now that he was gradually taking control of the imperial court, the next step was to create new coins and put an end to private minting.
Then, he planned to set up a new Salt Bureau and teach them the method of refining refined salt. He wanted them to refine refined salt and sell it all over the country.
Once refined salt became popular in the country, who would want the crude salt that was sold privately?
The reason why the people ate the bitter and astringent coarse salt was because they had no other choice.
Once the pure white salt was promoted, the salt business would return to Li Zhi's hands.
Li Zhi had an inexhaustible amount of money just by relying on the salt business and the new coins.
Then, he would complete the weakening of the Rebound Regional Commanders. Then, the grenade on Li Zhi's head would be completely removed.
Without the support of the military forces, these empresses could no longer be arrogant.
However, it was not that easy to cut off a vassal state. If things went wrong, the world might be in chaos and warlords would fight among themselves.
Of course, before these warlords fought, the first one to suffer would definitely be him.
Now that he was constantly building his own private guards, it was not considered to be eliminating the Eighth Empress 'trusted aides. This was definitely because the Eighth Empress' vigilance might intensify the conflict and cause them to mutiny in advance.
However, Li Zhi quickly thought of a plan that was enough to confuse the audience and make the eighth empress suspicious of each other, not daring to act rashly.
