The pro-military Duwei Mansion, commonly known as the Golden Guard, this institution has existed since the beginning of the history of the Great Qin Empire, among which the Beizhen Fusi is responsible for the edict, it is the ultimate belonging of all officials who violate the law and discipline, on the surface it has no right to interrogate and judge, but in fact it is not only responsible for arrest and imprisonment, but also has its own special torture interrogation department, and the people who go in are basically rarely able to come out completely, the Nanzhen Fusi is responsible for the law and discipline of the house, military discipline, and the Golden Guard in the entire empire, Even in neighboring countries, it is a place to talk about tigers, and I can't help but shudder at the thought of the terrible scene in it.

The most frightening and frightening thing is not the two towns of the north and the south, but the legendary east and west towns in the Jinyi Guard, the two institutions of the east and west of the two institutions of the main empire of all aspects of intelligence, a main enemy country intelligence collection, under the jurisdiction of the pro-army governor's office, but there is no establishment, not an official public institution, the financial expenditure is allocated by the emperor's private treasury, all the personnel of these two institutions are secret patrols, spies, and the law enforcement personnel of the north and south of the town and the division of the law enforcement personnel to wear gold clothes, the personnel of these two institutions all wear civilian clothes, The hidden parts of the body are branded with special marks or tattoos to identify identity, and when they go out of tolerance, they generally carry their identity waist tags, and rarely leak their identities in front of the world.

Four months after the establishment of Jinyiwei, the intelligence system in charge of Xizhen in foreign countries began to play a role, and on this day Qin Dong was in the study to review the chapter, and Qi Muge, as the head of his guard, was now also the actual person in charge of the Fusi Division of Jinyiwei's East and West Second Town, and came in to report: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report!" ”

Qin Dong looked up and saw that it was his wooden grid. He put down his pen, closed his sonata, and said, "Oh? Say, what's the matter? ”

"Your Majesty, there have been several pieces of information coming from Rome in the past few days. After the analysis of the personnel of the West Town Fusi, I am afraid that something big will happen in Rome in the near future! ”

Qin Dong frowned, stood up and said, "Be specific!" ”

"Yes!" Qi Muge agreed, and continued: "The last few pieces of information from Rome show that most of the Roman nobles and some of the generals are plotting a mutiny, and the main reason for this is that Emperor Majorian introduced a series of unfavorable political measures against those nobles before the expedition, which caused those Roman nobles to suffer heavy losses, and they held a grudge because of this, and this time Majorian's naval base and hundreds of warships that had spent most of the time building in Spain were destroyed by the Vandals. This incident greatly reduced the prestige that Majorian had just established in Rome, so those nobles had the courage to contact the military personnel to plot a mutiny as soon as Majorian returned to Rome! ”

After listening to Qi Muge's report, Qin Dong pondered for a while and asked, "Qi Muge, do you say that a unified and powerful Western Roman Empire is beneficial to us or a chaotic Western Roman Empire with a greatly declining national strength is beneficial to us?" ”

Qi Muge didn't want to think about it: "Your Majesty." Of course, the Western Roman Empire, which is in chaos and has greatly declined in national strength, is beneficial to our country! ”

Hearing this, Qin Dong nodded a little self-deprecatingly: "Yes, of course a chaotic Western Roman Empire is beneficial to us!" However, I don't want the Western Roman Empire to be chaotic, and I want it to become strong, which is not in our interests at all. Why is that? I'm very conflicted! ”

Qi Muge listened to Qin Dong's words. After thinking about it, he understood the crux of the problem, and said: "The minister understands why His Majesty's heart has such a consciousness!" ”

"Why?"

Qi Muge said: "Because there are too few people in the world today who can be opponents with His Majesty, the Eastern Roman Emperor Leo I counts as one, the Western Roman Emperor Majorian counts as one, and the King of the Vandal Kingdom Gaiseric also counts as one, compared to the Western Roman Emperor Majorian, the Eastern Roman Emperor Leo I and the Vandal King Gaiseric are both old and don't know how many years to live." Majorian, on the other hand, was in the prime of life, and was far from being comparable to the average Western Roman emperor in terms of political and military prowess. If this mutiny plotted by the Roman nobles succeeded, then the fate of Majorion can be imagined, and the Western Roman Empire will definitely fall into chaos here because of his death, but for His Majesty Xià has one less opponent, which is really a happy but very regrettable thing! ”

"Alas!" Qin Dong sighed, patted his Muge on the shoulder and said, "Those who know me, Qimuge also!" It's cold in the heights, and it's hard to live without an opponent! ”

Qin Dong sighed and asked, "Where do you think the matter of the Roman nobles plotting a mutiny will go this time?" ”

Qi Muge shook his head and said: "This minister does not dare to speak presumptuously, although we have basically grasped the conspiracy of those Roman nobles, but we don't know whether Majorian knows about this matter, and if he knows, what kind of deployment he has made, these are unknown!" ”

Qin Dong thought for a while and said: "Although I don't want to lose an opponent like Majorian, but for the sake of the empire, of course, it is to make the Western Roman Empire as chaotic as possible, and I can only express regret for this opponent, and do our best to intercept Majorian from getting the news that the Roman nobles are plotting a mutiny, and we must make this Roman nobles mutiny successful!" ”

Qi Muge saluted: "Obey!"

Qin Dong waved his hand: "You go down first!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Wait!" As soon as Qi Muge turned around to leave, Qin Dongyou stopped him, and after thinking for a while, Qin Dong said to his Muge: "Jin Yiwei is under the direct jurisdiction of me, especially your East and West Second Towns Fu Division, the financial expenditure is paid by me personally, and you are also my chief of guard, I don't want you to participate in the political struggle between the ministers of the court and the central government, otherwise, you should know what I will do with you?" ”

Qi Muge hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The minister is so frightened, the minister is a person of His Majesty, naturally obey His Majesty's will, and never dare to do it!" ”

"There you go!"

In later generations, forming a party is not terrible, since there are politicians forming a party, then simply open the party ban, allow people with political demands to form a political party, through guò election to obtain the ruling power, this situation is feasible in later generations, as long as the legal system is sound, it will not cause chaos, but in this era is not good, at least the election will have a problem, the cultural literacy of the people is basically equal to zero, the election is child's play, so in this era, the emperor must also control the court situation, and it is strictly forbidden for the court ministers to form a party for personal gain.

On the other hand, once political figures are allowed to form political parties to participate in the election to obtain the ruling power, this will cause the emperor's power to fall, Qin Dong is still young, and some energy is to deal with the government, he does not want to have the slightest decision in politics, although most of the political affairs are now handled by the State Council, but in the end it is he who really makes the decision, if he hands over the right to make the final decision, then the emperor's power and influence will plummet, which Qin Dong is unwilling and absolutely does not allow.

The reason why Qin Dong wants to form Jin Yiwei is also to strengthen the imperial power on the other hand, so that Jin Yiwei will become a steel knife in his hand, whoever is obedient will give sweet dates, and whoever is disobedient, Jin Yiwei's steel knife will be cut down, after all, who can guarantee that his ass is clean?

The purpose of the formation of Jinyiwei is to put a steel knife on the neck of officials, and the function of Jinyiwei on the surface is the same, and Jinyiwei basically only enforces the law against officials and does not disturb the people, so the impact of Jinyiwei on the people is minimal, and the people are only hearsay and rumors about Jinyiwei.

The reason why the officials are afraid of Jin Yiwei and hate him to the bone is actually because Jin Yiwei's existence prevents them from obtaining illegal benefits through their power, which is their natural nemesis, and they are rumored everywhere that Jin Yiwei's torture is severe, and they arrest without judicial procedures, torture to extract confessions, and judge officials without authorization, this statement has also won the sympathy and recognition of the people, the people are blind and will only spread false rumors, which has caused Jin Yiwei not only to have a bad reputation in the officialdom, And the reputation among the people is also very bad.

The reason why Jin Yiwei's reputation among the people is not good is because Jin Yiwei does not go through the judicial process, and regards the imperial law as nothing, and it is true, Jin Yiwei does not go through the judicial process, it is really because this era is limited by science and technology, and the means of investigation and investigation are limited. This is also one of the reasons why Qin Dong set up the Golden Guard.

However, Qin Dong also knew that if Jin Yiwei was not restricted, then Jin Yiwei would definitely set off a bloody storm in the government and the opposition in the future, causing everyone to panic, so Qin Dong gave Jin Yiwei a rule, if it is not involved in major cases such as rebellion, strict torture methods must not be used, and no one can be killed during the interrogation process, and Jin Yiwei cannot often do things such as private interrogation and trial without authorization, once this kind of thing becomes normal, it will become a habit and become a matter of course. The consequences will be extremely strict, fortunately, the power of Jin Yiwei comes from the emperor, as long as the emperor is not happy, then Jin Yiwei's rule over the empire is not a threat, and Qin Dong is still relieved at this point.

With the establishment of the Golden Guard, officials who violated the law and discipline and committed corruption and dereliction of duty began to be taken away by the Golden Guard, who often wore golden cloaks, wild goose knives around their waists, and leather boots. (To be continued......)
