At that time, the emperor set up the Intelligence Department in response to the assassination, with the purpose of collecting information on opponents and monitoring their actions, so as to prevent and eliminate the assassins sent by the enemy in advance, and change the situation of passive beatings caused by the lack of intelligence at that time. Therefore, the Intelligence Department itself has the responsibility of protecting the emperor's safety and intercepting assassins, but with the expansion of the pro-guard battalion and the stability of the emperor's power, this part of the people gradually broke away from the guard system and became the predecessor of the current action team.

The skills learned by these people are not only from the education of Lu Xiaoyao, the killer leader, but also from the special training class established in Beifu. Zhao Ta's background in his previous life determined that he was also an assassin, and he had his usual methods and tricks, so in addition to explaining the application of firearms, the main application weapons taught in the special training class were the use of short crossbows and daggers, because the era he came from had long since eliminated the cold weapons of swords, and only daggers were retained as sharp weapons for killing people because of their short and portable characteristics, and the content he taught was naturally based on daggers.

In this way, the action team of the Intelligence Department inevitably carried the traces of the two killers, and it is not surprising that the dagger has become their usual weapon, but Li Jun has no way of knowing that the emperor is from a thousand years later, and it is logical to have this idea, in fact, the emperor has nothing to do with Mu Rayi, even in the previous life, he has nothing to do with these terrorists......

"Your Majesty, it is rumored that the first Sheikh of the Murai kingdom died more than twenty years ago, and this man has never left the fort once since he entered the fort of Alamut, and only twice since he left his mansion, to concentrate on the study of the teachings. And strictly abide by the discipline and never transgress, one of his sons was found guilty of assassinating a fellow believer. The other son was put to death with his rod because of his debauchery. As a result, no one in the church dared to violate the doctrine for more than 30 years. After his death, he passed on his throne to the parishioner, Imam Umid, who sent the dead down the mountain to assassinate him. As a result, the wind of assassination has intensified, and the poison has spread widely! Li Jun didn't know what the emperor was thinking, and continued to introduce.

"This kind of Assassin group is the most difficult to deal with, they have their own roots, and they have cultivated a large number of die-hard Assassins, it is very difficult to eliminate them!" Zhao Ta said with a sigh.

"What Your Majesty said is very true, in the early days of Hassan's founding of the country, the prime minister of the Seljuk country was Mork, and it was said that this person was brave and resourceful, capable of writing and martial arts. The combination of military and political power and the governance of the country was so orderly that the then Sultan Malik had nothing to do but hunt for the entire twenty years of his reign. Later, as the Murayi's power grew, they spread their henchmen in the empire, installed strongholds, and ousted the Empire's appointed magistrates, so Malik decided to send troops to pacify the Murayi and send a large army to besiege Alamut Fort and other Murayi strongholds. In the same year, the old man of the mountain sent 'Fidayi' to assassinate Mork, the prime minister of the Seljuk Empire. Forced the Seljuks to withdraw from Murayi-controlled territory! Li Jun said with deep sympathy for what the emperor said.

"Well, what you know is very detailed, and the methods of these people, though very despicable, are very effective. They first relied on the power of religion to subjugate the inhabitants of a certain place ideologically, and then relied on the power of these converted people to seize local fortresses, and finally established a series of missionary bases that were easy to defend and difficult to attack under the noses of their religious enemies. Then gradually spread, using the terrifying power of the assassins to deter the surrounding places from using troops against them. The result is a theocratic state, where they use the power of religion to dominate the people and work for them. Zhao Ta said approvingly. It was indeed not easy for Li Jun to learn so much in such a short period of time.

"Your Majesty, one word will break the evil of his deeds!" Li Jun listened to the emperor's praise and immediately reciprocated with a bigger sycophant, "There was a Seljuk king who tried to recover the castle occupied by the Murayi, and Hassan's request for peace was also rejected by him. The next morning, however, the king found a dagger stuck in the ground in front of his bed, and Hassan's messenger appeared before him and handed over a letter from the old man of the mountain, saying: If I have no good intentions towards the Sultan and want to take the Sultan's life, then the dagger that is inserted in the ground at this time will be stuck in the Sultan's chest. ”

"Hehe, if this king is not a fool, he should immediately understand his situation, the people around him must be the believers of the old man in the mountain, and he can't know how many undercover agents sent by the enemy around him, so there is no way to fight the battle anymore!" Zhao Tan smiled and said, he also felt sorry for this king, so that everything was in the hands of the enemy, and there was no suspense at all.

"Your Majesty guessed that the king, as His Majesty had said, immediately agreed to make peace with Murayi, and made a pact that during his own reign he would never mention anything more about the crusade. The local governors and Muslim imams living in the vicinity were so frightened that they were forced to wear chain mail while they slept, relying on it to protect themselves from being assassinated by those around them. In this way, the strength of the Murayi has become stronger, and the actions have become more unscrupulous, and they no longer take the surrounding countries into account! Li Jun said.

"Mu Rayi hides his followers around the enemy, even in the court, if he colludes with the important members of the state, secretly connects with the henchmen, and places assassins next to the king, he can control a country and make the world panic, the means are really powerful!" Zhao Ta sighed, he also sent spies to the high-level of the hostile side to gather intelligence, but not for assassination.

In this way, after Umid succeeded to the throne, the Assasin assassination became more and more intense, and two caliphs of the Seljuk Empire were assassinated by the Umidites, which made the caliphs tremble in fear and did not dare to appear in public, and also made the Seljuk sultans helpless. And their well-organized and secretive forms also made the Crusaders and other sects talk about tigers, and the tribal elders, the prime ministers, and the Western Crusader officers were assassinated by them, so that they caused panic and political turmoil throughout the country, and no one dared to challenge the authority of the old man in the mountains. Li Jun also had to admire these peers for being able to rely on assassination to achieve such great success.

"In this way, the successive successes have swelled the ambitions of the Murrays, and it is likely that our sailors on the expedition to Persia have succeeded, and they want to further expand their influence in West Asia by assassinating us, so as to realize their dream of unifying the Arab world. Therefore, it is very likely that this assassination of me was done by the Murayi Kingdom on its own, and was not bought and instructed by others! Hearing this, Zhao Ta suddenly thought of this possibility.

"In that case, they will definitely send assassins again if they fail this assassination, and if they repeat their old tricks and collude with rebellion to take the opportunity to approach His Majesty to assassinate him, wouldn't it be very dangerous!" Li Jun listened to the emperor's judgment and said nervously.

"If the Seljuks are united and the political situation is stable, how can they give those small opportunities if the country is in turmoil, if the Seljuks are united!" Zhao Tan shook his head and said, the current political environment of the Great Song Dynasty makes their infiltration not easy to succeed.

In the same way, Zhao Ta knows more than Li Jun, the rise of those terrorist groups in the previous life was precisely because of the turmoil in the country and the loss of control of the regime, so that they had the opportunity to recruit troops and expand their influence, coupled with their terrifying methods and extreme ideas suitable for some people's hearts, they grew rapidly and became an organization that could challenge the power of the country. The rise of the Murayi was also the internal strife of the Seljuk Dynasty, and the princes and ministers colluded with Hassan in order to eliminate dissent.

After receiving the protection and support of some powerful forces in the country, the Murai Assassins were able to get close to the important ministers and authorities of the state, as if there were assassins everywhere, making everyone endanger, thus providing a breeding ground for their growth, so that the tail could not fall into the Jiangdong disaster. The expansion of the power of the monarchs of various countries was very afraid of the old man in the mountains and did not dare to refuse to agree to his demands, and it can be said that the expansion of his power hastened the corruption and division of the entire Asian Islamic society, bringing the Seljuk Empire to the brink of collapse today.

"Although what His Majesty said is reasonable, his subordinates still think that they should not take it lightly, and these people are crazy and do everything. Moreover, their assassination of His Majesty is a challenge to our Great Song Dynasty, and if they are not punished, it will make them even more unscrupulous, and it will also bring shame to Your Majesty and Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, the subordinates thought that they should be completely eradicated, never suffer from future troubles, and stand up in the world! Li Jun got up and said.

"Well, I also know that it is useless for such people to reason with them, only by countering violence with violence, and returning blood with blood can they be afraid and surrender. However, our Great Song Dynasty currently has a strong enemy in the north that has not been eliminated, and if we use a large army to go on an expedition, it will definitely cause the national strength to decline, the internal emptiness, and the inability to continue the great cause of the Northern Expedition, so we cannot use the army to conquer for the time being, and we still need to calculate! Zhao Ta said, he also knew that preventing thieves every day was not a long-term solution, but compared to the crusade against the Jurchens, this matter was not a big deal, but it was uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates think that since the current situation does not allow for sending a large army to crusade, then we can also treat others in the same way as others, and also send a detachment to the Murayi Kingdom to assassinate its leader, in order to avenge the assassination of Your Majesty today, and let him know the consequences of challenging the power of our Great Song Dynasty!" Li Jun thought for a while and suggested.

"This is a good proposal, send an elite detachment to the country of Murayi to retaliate, we can achieve our goal without using a large army!" Zhao Ta listened and pondered for a moment and said, "Now the incident has not been fully investigated, the details are still to be discussed, it is not advisable to act too early, you can first mobilize your forces to collect intelligence on the Murayi Kingdom, and at the same time form a task force to carry out corresponding training, I will order all parts to give you the support of the Intelligence Agency, once the investigation has the results, you can start the operation!" Zhao Ta said with some excitement.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, your subordinates will do their best to complete the task!" The emperor said this, which was tantamount to assigning the task to the Intelligence Agency, which was a rare opportunity, and Li Jun's spirit was also boosted...... (To be continued......)
