Cen Shen reported to Zhao Ziliang, who was processing the official documents: "Your Majesty, the Eastern Romans have submitted their complaint to the Judicial Temple, and the Judicial Temple has accepted the case and decided to hold a trial in five days!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded: "Okay, you don't care about this matter, someone will naturally do the next thing!" ”

"Yes!"

After Cen Shen retreated, Zhao Ziliang got up and walked around the study, not only to deal with the military and political affairs of Western Qin, but also to preside over the non-war strategy against the nearby Great Food Country, weakening the country economically and otherwise.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Ziliang pulled the rope next to him, a bell sounded outside the study, and a middle-aged scribe wearing an official uniform walked in and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "King! ”

Zhao Ziliang looked up and said with a smile: "It's a bird, should you be on duty today?" Is your father okay? ”

Li Boyu (Li Bai's eldest son) replied: "The king is worried, and my father drinks and has fun at home every day, and he is as happy as a fairy." The subordinate often advises him to drink too much and hurt his body, but he just doesn't listen! ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and smiled: "Your father, his heart is very contradictory, he longs for fame and fortune, but he doesn't want to bend down to the powerful; Eager to make a career, but also yearning for a fairyland-like life outside the world, he has lived in extreme contradictions all his life, and perhaps it is these contradictions that have made him talented! I've always been very generous to my subordinates, and he can't continue to work with me, so where else can he be an official? You must not be like your father, you must have a goal in your heart, and after you have set your goal, you must unswervingly move towards it, so that you will not follow in your father's footsteps! ”

Li Boyu bowed and said, "Bo Bird understands! ”

"Okay, you send someone to inform the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the Imperial Fuxian, and the Governor of the Internal Security Bureau, Xuan Thirteen, to come over!"

"Yes!"

Huangfuxian and Xuan Thirteen haven't come yet, but Wang Can has come first.

"Meet the King!"

Zhao Ziliang put down the official document and asked; "Wang Can, why are you here? Something? ”

Wang Can hugged his fists and said: "Wang, just now the spies under the Dongchang came to report, saying that two days ago, the deputy envoy of the Great Food Embassy, Aziz, went out and secretly gathered more than a dozen Great Cannibals, and these people did not even have entry registration and identity, and they are all very good. Then the spies followed these people, and found that they had left Henglus and headed west, and spent a day catching up with our patrolmen who had escorted the former Eastern Roman envoy Julius from the country! ”

Zhao Ziliang understood: "You mean that the target of these big cannibals is Julius?" ”

Wang Can nodded and said, "Very likely!" ”

Zhao Ziliang did not hold Wang Can responsible for how the East Factory managed the affairs in the West Qin, the duty of the East Factory is to collect foreign intelligence and carry out overseas intelligence activities, but this is inevitably linked to the territory of the West Qin, because once the overseas intelligence is related to the territory, it is bound to be cooperated by someone in the territory, but the East Factory is a separate intelligence department, and does not want to have anything to do with the West Factory and the internal guard, so although most of the East Factory is deployed abroad, there are also agents in the country.

Zhao Ziliang asked, "What do you think their purpose is?" ”

Wang Can said: "Of course, the big cannibals don't want to invite Julius as a guest, they are afraid that they are not so hospitable, and Julius does not have this Yaxing." The last general boldly guessed that the purpose of the big cannibal was to kill Julius in our territory, and then blame this matter on our Western Qin, as long as we can't find out who did it, the responsibility for Julius' death lies with me Western Qin, how will the Eastern Roman Empire react at that time? The killing of an envoy of a country outside the territory of a country is tantamount to a blatant provocation, even if the relations between the Eastern Roman Empire and our Western Qin have not yet reached the point where war is necessary, but the relations between the two countries must have deteriorated sharply! At the same time, this matter will also have a bad impact on our country among the surrounding countries, and even the safety of the envoys cannot be guaranteed, and the safety of other business travelers will not be guaranteed, who will dare to come to my Xiqin to do business in the future? ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Yes, you are right to think so, you can't let the conspiracy of the big cannibal succeed!" At least within the sphere of influence of my Western Qin, the big cannibals will never be allowed to do anything wrong! Out of my Xiqin's sphere of influence, they can do whatever they like, and I Xiqin can't control it! How many people are escorted to Yurius on patrol? ”

"Eight!"

Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "The strength is too thin, contact the garrisons along the way, and let the post stations and forts send soldiers and horses to escort them all the way!" ”

Wang Can said: "Great King, there is a garrison post station every fifty miles along the way of my Mengchi Duhufu, the number of people is more than 100 people, the number is less than 20 people, the weapon and equipment configuration is very complete, this section of the journey should be no problem, but if you enter the territory of Oghuz, the garrison of our army along the way is significantly reduced, sometimes there is only a military station every two or three hundred miles, the number of people is not very large, and the military activities of the military station are also restricted, the last general speculated that the big cannibal must want to do it in the territory of Oghuz or in the territory of Flower Thorn Zim, The biggest possibility is to do it on the territory of the flower thorn sub-mold! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Why is it in the territory of Huathornzimo and not in the territory of Oghuz?" ”

Wang Can said: "Because Huathorn Zimo borders the Great Food Country, those big cannibals can quickly retreat into the territory of the Great Food Country after they succeed, and we can't find out if we want to!" ”

"Then let Oghuz and Flower Thorn Zimo send troops and horses to escort them along the way!"

Wang Can reminded: "The king, Oghuz and Flower Thorn Zimo only submit to the king, and do not need to obey the orders of the Western Qin officials, so if you want Oghuz and Flower Thorn Zimo to send troops and horses to escort them along the way, you must have the king's own warrant!" ”

Zhao Ziliang frowned: "For this trivial matter, let this king write a handwritten letter to King Oghuz Khan and King Huathornzimo Khan?" Forget it, you send someone to the Eighth Legion garrison, and let the Eighth Legion send a number of soldiers to escort them along the way, through Oghuz and Khaeuzm, until they are escorted to the border of the Crimean Peninsula and handed over to the border patrol of the Eastern Roman Empire! ”

"Yes, I'll do it!"

Soon after Wang Can left, Huang Fuxian and Xuan 13 arrived.

"I've seen the king!"

Zhao Ziliang said: "I called you here today to hear how you are going to let Jinyiwei play its functions, if Jinyiwei can't play its due role, then what is the value of its existence?" Huang Fuxian, you are the main official in charge of Jinyiwei now, so many days have passed, and there should be a detailed plan, right? ”

Huangfu Xian hugged his fists and said: "King, after the subordinates have learned about the various yamen of Jinyiwei these days, they have finally figured out the current situation of Jinyiwei. Jin Yiwei does not have the ability to take the initiative to investigate the case now, that is to say, he cannot pay attention to the activities and ideological changes of hundreds of officials at any time, and can only wait for outsiders to report. The second defect is the shortage of manpower, not only the lack of manpower, but also the lack of capable case-handling personnel. In response to these two points, his subordinates have discussed with Xuan Shisan, and plan to transfer elite personnel from the internal guards to supplement the South and North Yaya, so as to enrich the number of case-handling personnel and improve their case-handling capabilities; In addition, there is a plan to train and develop some informants in batches, and use these people to keep an eye on those who are corrupt and pervert the law, bring disaster to the country and the people, and plan rebellion! ”

Zhao Ziliang thought about it for a while and agreed: "Okay, just do as you say!" However, this king wants to remind you that you can secretly develop an informant to supervise hundreds of officials, but this matter must not be known to the outside world, let alone let hundreds of officials know, and there are only three of us here, if there is a fourth person who knows, once the news is spread and is known by the officials, it may cause the collective opposition of hundreds of officials, and then you, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, will not be able to do it! Before Jin Yiwei handles the case, someone must report it, and even if there is none, find a way to find someone to report! Only in this way do you have a reason to investigate, if no one reports and you take the initiative to investigate, the officials are only afraid that everyone will be in danger, this king does not want to make the officialdom of Western Qin into danger for everyone, the political situation in Western Qin needs to be stable and clear, not only can not make officials feel that everyone is in danger, but also let them understand that there may be people staring, as long as they make a big mistake, they may be taken away from their official hats, or even lose their heads. People, who doesn't have a little selfishness? It is also normal and understandable for officials to seek a little selfish gain for themselves, as long as they do not make a big mistake of principle, do not touch them! ”

Huang Fuxian agreed: "Yes, king! The subordinates understood".

Zhao Ziliang looked at Xuan Shisan again, "Although the Inner Guard Yamen is not idle, it is not enough in the eyes of this king!" Wang Can came just now, and Dongchang found that someone in the embassy of the big cannibal had contacted more than a dozen big food killers, and these people did not have entry registration and identity, and they followed Julius, who was sent back to China a few days ago, what was their purpose? Wang Can analyzed that the big cannibal wanted to kill Julius in our sphere of influence, so as to blame me for Xiqin, after all, people died in our Xiqin, is our Xiqin responsible! Once something happens, it will inevitably have a great impact on the relationship between our Western Qin and the Eastern Roman Empire, and the main enemy we need to deal with now is the Great Cannibal, and dealing with the Eastern Roman Empire is secondary, so Julius can't die! This kind of thing should have been within the purview of your internal guard, but you were robbed of your business by Dongchang, and you, the internal security shopkeeper, are not good enough! The internal guard must not only handle the case well, but also have a timely source of information, and be able to do it: as long as the enemy wants to be unfavorable to our Xiqin, the internal guard yamen can get the news in time and make deployments as quickly as possible, or take the lead before the enemy has made a move, and nip the threat in the bud, this is what the internal guard yamen needs to do! In order to reduce the constraints and pressure for you, from now on, the internal guard will be separated from the Jinyi guard and directly responsible to this king! ”

"Yes, King!"
