Early in the morning, Ge Baogen sent someone to report to Lu Qi that Cui Youfu and his entourage, including the coachman, a total of seven people, had settled at the Liu Ji Inn in the city.
As soon as the city gate opened at dawn, these people headed west.
"The general has sent people to follow him."
Lu Qi thought for a while and said to Ge Baogen: "Immediately find someone to dress up as a bandit and kidnap them all without letting anyone go."
Ge Baogen was a little hesitant and scared: "Sir, is it inappropriate to do this?
Cui Youfu is also a member of the Zhongshu family and an official of the imperial court.
If we do this and leak the news, I'm afraid we will be left with nothing to eat."
Lu Qi's eyes widened: "Won't you find a few cronies to do this?
General Ge, the court is not peaceful now.
There are many people who are deferential to the regent on the surface, but in fact they are against him secretly.
This Cui Youfu before The people who have always been the prince, but the prince is gone, these people He has lost all power.
He came to Bianzhou alone to meet Guo Ziyi secretly without any trouble.
There is no guarantee that there will be no shady activities involved.
The regent has great trust in me.
Before I left Chang'an, the king came to me specifically.
We had a conversation once, what did you say about Guo Ziyi?
Everything is fine, but I am a bit loyal.
I am worried that Guo Ziyi will be instigated and fooled, so I let me keep an eye on Guo Ziyi.
Think about it, Guo Ziyi is the king's disciple, but the king lets me do such confidential things.
How is that?
Honglu Temple was originally just a yamen for leisure and retirement.
However, since the king came to power, he has attached great importance to Honglu Temple and entrusted me with important responsibilities.
The king has been kind to me.
How can I live up to the trust of the king?
I don’t know that Cui Youfu secretly came to Bianzhou to see you.
What purpose does Guo Ziyi have, but it’s definitely not a good thing?”
When Ge Baogen heard what Lu Qi said, he had no choice but to clasp his fists and agree: "I understand, the general will personally lead the people to handle it now.
Please wait for the news of the general."
Lu Qi waved his hand: "Go quickly" An hour later, Ma Xucheng came in person and reported to Lu Qi: "Sir, as you expected, something big happened in the government office.
Guo Linggong suddenly fainted last night, and he fainted before Cui Youfu left.
He didn't wake up until dawn.
Wake up.
The government office has been keeping the news secret.
I finally found out by sending someone to the cook who is responsible for purchasing ingredients."
Lu Qi frowned, walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and said to himself: "What on earth did Cui Youfu say to Guo Ziyi, which caused Guo Ziyi to faint and wake up after a night?
It seems that this is not a small matter.
Ma general" Ma Xucheng cupped his fists and said: "The end will be here."
"Send someone to keep an eye on the government office and try our best to figure out Guo Ziyi's situation.
I want to know why he fainted and what Cui Youfu said to him."
"Yes, General Mo will go right away."
After Ma Xucheng left, Lu Qi thought for a while and shouted outside: "Here comes someone!"
A civil servant came in, clasped his fists and said, "What are your orders, sir?"
Lu Qi ordered: "Immediately send someone to notify the supervisors of each army and ask them to come quickly to discuss the matter."
"Yes, my lord" Lu Qi is the commander-in-chief of counter-rebellion.
The supervisors of other armies are under his control and jurisdiction.

He has his own supervisory office to govern the supervisors of various armies.
Although his official position is not high, his power is no less than that of Guo Ziyi. , this is also Lu Qi’s intention to give up.
Because of his loyalty to Zhao Ziliang, he appointed a small Hongluqing as the supervisor of the counter-rebellion army to control the military discipline and political attitude of hundreds of thousands of troops.
This is not something that any person in power has such courage, and Zhao Ziliang Did it.
Lu Qi was a cunning, cunning person who was jealous of talents.
Once someone offended him, he would hold a grudge and always wanted to kill someone.
He is most afraid of others mocking his appearance openly or covertly.
Once he finds out, he will not stop until the person is ruined and his family is ruined.
However, Lu Qi also has his advantages.
He is serious and responsible in doing things.
He is not good at anything else.
He is definitely a good hand at doing bad things.
It would be difficult for him to come up with a strategy to stabilize the country.
But if he is allowed to harm others, , Trouble people, this person is definitely a good player.
During the crusade against Li Lingyao, many soldiers under Huainan Jiedushi Wei Yuanfu violated military discipline and robbed villagers.
After receiving the report, Lu Qi immediately sent people to arrest the generals and generals who violated military discipline.
Regarding the soldiers, Wei Yuanfu was worried about his general, so he approached Guo Ziyi to intercede with Lu Qi.
In order to win over Wei Yuanfu, Guo Ziyi approached Lu Qi to intercede.
Lu Qi refused on the spot and wrote a letter to Zhao Ziliang said a lot of bad things about Guo Ziyi.
Zhao Ziliang issued an edict to severely reprimand Guo Ziyi and Wei Yuanfu, and fined them their salaries.
He also ordered that the soldiers who robbed the villagers should be severely punished, and at the same time, he sent people to reward them.
Lu Qi, in front of the commendation of all the generals and majors in the army, Lu Qi is a model for the whole army for his strict enforcement of the law and never compromising on any violation of military discipline.
Although Zhao Ziliang's light punishment of Guo Ziyi and Wei Yuanfu did not achieve Lu Qi's purpose of punishing them, he was very happy and more motivated after receiving Zhao Ziliang's praise.
In the yamen of Bianzhou Prefecture, Guo Ziyi thought for a long time and then told Guo Yao: "My father can no longer be the marshal of the counter-rebellion, but it is not appropriate to rashly submit a letter to resign.
For the current plan, I can only pretend to be ill and not be able to take charge of the affairs.
You Send someone to find the Korean medical officer again."
"Yes, my boy, I will send someone to ask for the Korean medical officer now."
Soon, the Korean medical officer came over again with a medicine box on his back.
Seeing that Guo Ziyi was awake and looking good, it didn't look like his condition had worsened, so he asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, what is this?"
Guo Ziyi asked Medical Officer Han to sit down and said, "I brought Medical Officer Han here again because I want to ask Medical Officer Han for a favor."
The Korean medical officer bowed his hands and said, "Please give me your instructions."
"Later, Quan'er will send someone to inform Supervisor Lu, Deputy Commander Zang, Deputy Commander Wei and other lieutenant generals of the army to announce that the commander has suffered a stroke and is unable to serve as director.
I hope that the Korean medical officer will confirm it."
When Guo Ziyi said this, she saw that Medical Officer Han's doubts became even stronger, so she stopped him from asking: "Medical Officer Han does not need to ask the reason.
The less you know, the better.
The more you know, it will not be a good thing for you."
Medical officer Han understood, he cupped his hands and said: "I understand, I will obey your order in everything."
Guo Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief when Medical Officer Han agreed, and told Guo Yao: "In the morning, I asked someone to let out the wind, and said that my father had a stroke and was paralyzed.
In the afternoon, I sent someone to notify Lu Qi, Zang Xiyan, Wei Yuanfu and others about this." thing" Guo Yao agreed: "Yes, I understand."
In the morning, the news spread that Guo Ziyi had suffered a stroke, was bedridden, and was paraplegic.
In less than an hour, it spread among the counterinsurgency army.
Lu Qi was the first to get the news, and Ma Xucheng reported to him: "Sir, this is what happened.
The villain was preparing to bribe people in the government office to inquire about the news.
Unexpectedly, people in the government office spread the news first."
After hearing Ma Xucheng's report, Lu Qi was surprised at first, and then frowned: "At this time, Guo Ziyi had a stroke, was bedridden, and was hemiplegic.

I always felt that there was something fishy here.
Early in the morning, when you bribed the cook in the government office , did he say that Guo Ziyi could no longer get out of bed?"
Ma Xucheng shook his head: "That's not true.
The cook only said that someone seemed to have come late last night, and then Guo Ziyi fainted from anger.
He didn't come back until dawn.
He didn't say that Guo Ziyi was paralyzed in bed."
Lu Qi soon became suspicious: "Who is Guo Ziyi?
He is a military commander.
If a military general is paralyzed in bed and unable to move, it is the same as killing him.
What a big deal it is.
If the cook knows that Guo Ziyi last night Fainted by popularity It's impossible not to know about Guo Ziyi's paralysis, but he didn't say anything about it.
What does that mean that Guo Ziyi was not paralyzed in the early morning, but Guo Ziyi is paralyzed now, and it's after he wakes up?
Don't you think there is anything in it?
Is it strange?"
Ma Xucheng was not stupid.
He immediately said: "What you mean is that Guo Ziyi is deliberately pretending to be ill."
Lu Qi was extremely confident: "Nine times out of ten, others may not know the mystery behind this, but you and I clearly saw Cui Youfu entering the government office late at night to see Guo Ziyi, and soon we saw Cui Youfu rushing out of the government office in panic.
Then I heard that Guo Ziyi was angry The news of fainting is just that I don’t know what Guo Ziyi wants to do and why he is pretending to be ill.
I’m afraid we have to wait until General Ge comes back to find out.
I will first go to the government office to see Guo Ziyi and confirm who he is.
Pretending to be sick is still really paralyzed.”
Lu Qi quickly arrived at the government office with some soldiers.
He did not expect that he was not the first to arrive.
When he was led by Guo Yao to Guo Ziyi's bed, he discovered that Dai Xiuyan, Wei Yuanfu, Wei Boyu, Luo Yuanguang and others arrived first.
When everyone saw Lu Qi, they all clasped their fists and said hello: "Master Lu is here."
Lu Qi returned the courtesy with his hands raised one by one.
He walked to the bedside and said to Guo Ziyi who was lying on his bed: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?
Weren't you all fine last night?"
Guo Ziyi twisted her mouth, one hand was stiff, and the other hand seemed to be suffering from polio.
Several fingers were curled together like chicken claws.
Come here.
I'm afraid I won't be able to command the entire army like this.
I'm about to send someone to invite you all to come over and discuss it.
An army cannot be without a commander."
Seeing Guo Ziyi like this, Lu Qi couldn't help but sneer in his heart, Guo Ziyi, just pretend.
Don't think that I can't see that you are pretending to be sick, but why are you doing this?
Since the generals of all the armies were here, Lu Qi simply discussed the next matters with them at Guo Ziyi's place, and decided that while Guo Ziyi was unable to serve as director, Zang Xiyan would temporarily handle military affairs.
At the same time, he sent someone to quickly write to the Chang'an Regent's Palace to report to Zhao Ziliang.
Report Guo Ziyi's stroke and paralysis, and ask Zhao Ziliang to give instructions on the next steps of the counter-rebellion army.
In the afternoon, Ge Baogen, who was sent out to pretend to be a bandit, came back.
When he saw Lu Qi, he was not in a hurry to report it.
Instead, he signaled Lu Qi to retreat.
Lu Qi was such a shrewd person and immediately understood that the matter was serious, so he asked the people around him to Wait until everyone retreats.
Ge Baogen then took out a bright yellow piece of cloth from his arms and handed it over: "Sir, this was found from Cui Youfu.
You will know when you look at this":
