The soldiers brought the stool, Zhao Junsheng sat down and said: "If you must die, standing to die is naturally the toughest, Huang Gong's temperament makes me admire, but Huang Gong's behavior makes me shameless!" ”

Huang Guangyao was stunned, looked at Zhao Junsheng, and said coldly: "What did Huang do that made His Majesty ashamed?" ”

"Huang Gong was sent by the emperor of your country to send me a great officer, and his duty is to strengthen the connection between the Southern Dynasty and my great cadres, but Huang Gong secretly contacted and signed a secret agreement with the Rouran envoy A Luogan, this is not what the envoy should do, but the act of a villain!"

"If Huang Gong honestly takes on the role of an envoy in my Daqian, and does what an envoy should do, even if Daqian goes to war with the Southern Dynasty, I will send Huang Gong back to the Southern Dynasty, and I will never harm Huang Gong, but Huang Gong did something that should not be done, I am very sorry, maybe Huang Gong thinks that all this he has done is for the Southern Dynasty, even if he sacrifices his life, but in my eyes, Huang Gong's behavior is inferior!"

"I believe that with Huang Gong's character, he will definitely not be afraid of punishment, and life and death have become insignificant in Huang Gong's eyes! But Huang Gong has thought about it, you have always been in the outside world, disappearing silently, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty will not care about your life or death, they will not even send some condolences to Huang Gong's family, and even they will wonder if Huang Gong has secretly taken refuge in my Daqian! ”

"And Huang Gong's heirs and family members must be worried day and night at home, and they can't sleep at night! I don't believe that Huang Gong has no political enemies in the Southern Dynasty, and after Huang Gong disappears, those political enemies may be worried at first that maybe Huang Gong will go back one day, and they won't dare to do anything to your family, but after a long time, they will know that Huang Gong will never go back, and then they will have no scruples about your family! ”

Huang Guangyao's face kept changing, and after a long time, he sneered: "No matter what you say, don't think about getting anything from my mouth!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "I don't want to convince you, I just want to remind you that it's worth it for you to die silently like this!" You are not the dead soldier of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, nor is you a general who needs to fight to the death, you are just an envoy, and you lost your life because of an envoy, and the outside world, including the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty and your family, only know that you have disappeared, no praise, no honor, no reward, no posthumous seal, and may even be misunderstood by someone, causing rumors, your life is over like this, is it worth it? ”

Huang Guangyao slowly lowered his head and remained silent.

Zhao Junsheng sat for a while, got up and walked out, Lu Xuanbo and a few armor soldiers immediately followed, and the cell door was locked again.

Zhao Junsheng came out of the dungeon and said to Lu Xuanbo: "Send a message to Jiankang immediately, and let them quickly investigate Huang Guangyao's family situation!" ”

Lu Xuanbo clenched his fists and said: "It has been found out, Huang Guangyao has an old mother in the hall, has a wife and a concubine, but only has one son, named Huang Hanzhang, this son is still born to a concubine, he is sixteen years old this year, he is studying in Guozijian, but he writes a good article!" ”

Zhao Junsheng stopped, turned around and said, "It can be seen from the conversation with him just now that his family should be his weakness!" How many people in this world can choose to be loyal to the emperor regardless of the life or death of their families? Lao Lu, can you? ”

Lu Xuanbo hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has no family!" ”

“······ When I didn't ask! Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Go and do it as soon as possible!" ”

"No!"

When Lu Xuanbo saw that Zhao Junsheng was leaving, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to report!" ”

"Can you finish it all at once?" Zhao Junsheng stopped.

"Yes! We planted in the inner line of Rouran to spread the news that Tan Wuye had arrived at the court of Rouran Khan and helped Wu Ti's third son Tuga Zhen ascend to the throne of Khan, he was canonized as a national teacher by Tuga Zhen, but he soon disappeared again, and some of the nobles of Rouran revealed the rumors, and the inner line speculated that Tan Wuye was likely to go to Green Ridge according to the information collected! In addition, Tuga Zhen sent a person to our country to contact the remnants of the previous dynasty and the declining scholars, ready to say that they would accumulate strength to raise troops to rebel, trying to disrupt our world, this person is still an old man of His Majesty in Youzhou in the past, his name is Feng Yu, does Your Majesty remember? ”

Zhao Junsheng was stunned: "The Zhenbei general of the previous dynasty was sealed? ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng pondered, "It seems that Rouran wants to do both?" Or do you count the Southern Dynasties as well, a three-pronged approach? ”

Lu Xuanbo bowed down and said: "The minister always thinks that the plan of the Rouran people should be more precise and complex!" If Tan Wuye really went to the Green Mountains, then even if he went to lobby the Green Mountains countries to rebel, what could I do with those small mountain villages? I'm afraid it won't be that simple! ”

Zhao Junsheng touched his chin, thought about the work of a cup of tea, and said, "That's it, you can concentrate on priing Huang Guangyao's mouth first!" As for dealing with Feng Yu, I will hand it over to the Imperial City Division! ”

"No!"

Zhao Junsheng walked out of the yard and got into the carriage, the carriage moved forward slowly, he sat in the carriage and closed his eyes, muttering to himself: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop······ Conyder! ”

"The old slave is here!"

"Go to the Imperial City Division!"

"No!"

When Zhao Junsheng arrived at the Imperial City Division, the Imperial City Division did not receive any news, and the soldiers standing guard at the gate saw the arrival of the imperial car and did not have time to go in to report it, and shouted, "The holy driver has arrived!" The shouts made them quickly kneel down.

Hearing the movement, the officials and military attaches of the Imperial City Division ran out in a panic and knelt on the ground, "Welcome Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng stepped out of the carriage, his eyes swept over the faces of the officials and military attachés, and raised his hand: "Flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Officials and military attachés stood up one after another.

Zhao Junsheng asked, "What about Zhao Ping?" ”

He Yong hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the King of Shu has gone out of Beijing to handle the case, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return in the near future!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said angrily when he heard this: "When he went out of Beijing without permission, he didn't report to me!" ”

“······” Everyone didn't dare to speak up, only He Yong explained: "Back to Your Majesty, the King of Shu is going to report to Your Majesty, just because the matter is urgent, it is too late to report to Your Majesty, and I will entrust the minister to leave a letter to Your Majesty before the time limit······"

"Make it up, you keep making it up!" Zhao Junsheng snorted coldly, "Don't tell if you can't lie!" ”

"The minister is guilty!" He Yong knelt down.

Zhao Junsheng cleaned up his mood, walked into the Imperial City Division, and said as he walked: "He Yong and I come, and the others have their own duties!" ”

Everyone agreed in unison: "No! ”

Accompanied by He Yong, Zhao Junsheng visited the Imperial City Division, and finally came to the door of a huge room.

He Yong introduced: "Your Majesty, this is the file file room of the Imperial City Division, and all the archives of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai have a copy here, and every day there will be officials who make a special trip to these yamen to read the files and copy them back into the file!" ”

After the door of the file room opened, Zhao Junsheng said: "Everyone else stays outside, why don't you come in!" ”

He Yong followed Zhao Junsheng into the file room, Zhao Junsheng asked a few questions casually, and then stopped in the middle of the two rows of file racks: "Is the news of the death of Rouran Khan Wu Ti clear from the Imperial City Division?" ”

He Yong replied: "I knew it three months ago!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "The black-clothed guard received a reliable news that Wu Ti's third son, Tuhe Zhen, succeeded to the throne as Khan, and he sent a person to my Daqian, trying to contact the former ministers of the previous dynasty Yu Xin and those families to accumulate strength to raise troops against my Daqian, and this person is the Zhenbei general Feng Feng who defected to Rouran in the previous dynasty!" You should have heard of him in the Wei State Criminal Department in the past, right? ”

He Yong said: "Yes, the minister has heard of this person!" ”

Zhao Junsheng turned to face He Yong: "He Yong, the King of Shu is not here, and the Imperial City Division is now in charge of you, right?" ”

"Yes!"

"From now on, the Imperial City Division is responsible for investigating this case and finding Feng Yu, but don't touch him for the time being, put a long line to catch a big fish, see who he contacts and then catch it all! Now that the King of Shu is not here, you are in charge of the Imperial City Division, and I will hand over this task to you, I hope you will not disappoint me! ”

He Yong pondered, hesitated a little, and said: "Your Majesty, after all, the minister is also an old minister of the former dynasty, and according to the regulations, he should avoid suspicion and let others be responsible for investigating this case!" ”

Zhao Junsheng looked at He Yong and put a lot of pressure on him, and only spoke for a while: "Twenty years ago, you were a minister of the previous dynasty, and twenty years later, you are a minister of the Great Cadres, I believe that you can correct your position and position, and be able to distinguish between public and private!" ”

He Yong took a deep breath and slammed it to the ground: "Thank you for Your Majesty's trust and lead the order to investigate this case!" ”

On the way back to the imperial palace, Zhao Junsheng sat in the car and thought a lot: At present, there are three major intelligence agencies in the Qianguo, namely the Black Guard, the Waiting for Lawsuit, and the Imperial City Department, but each of these intelligence agencies has a clear scope of responsibility and cannot handle cases across the line.

For example, the black-clothed guard found out that a certain official had contact with the Southern Dynasty without permission, and the black-clothed guard did not have the right to handle the case, so he could only report it to Zhao Junsheng, and Zhao Junsheng then transferred the case to the waiting court to undertake, so that there would be many problems, first of all, the loss of the best opportunity to handle the case, and secondly, the news received by the case-handling yamen was not comprehensive.

For example, in the case of Feng Yu infiltrating the country of the Great Cadres and trying to contact the former ministers and various families in an attempt to plot rebellion, not only the Imperial City Division has the right to handle cases, but also the Waiting Department has the right to handle cases, because all cases involving rebellion are handled by the Waiting Lawsuits Division, and the Imperial City Division is also a counter-espionage yamen and also has the right to handle cases, which leads to the problem of duplication of functions.

Of course, this is unavoidable, in this kind of matter, it is really impossible to let each yamen perform their own duties and responsibilities clearly, on the one hand, it is possible to let the three intelligence agencies contain each other to avoid deception; On the other hand, it can prevent the occurrence of a situation in which a certain yamen is not effective in handling the case, resulting in the failure of the investigation and the loss of the whole game, the host yamen fails, and there are two other yamen staring at it, and the enemy cannot play the three yamen of the black-clothed guard, the imperial city division and the waiting lawsuit at the same time, right?
