Chapter 878: House arrest in disguise


On March 11, Zhao Ziliang took his family on an outing outside the city.

They stayed for three days before returning to the city.

That night, the family was having dinner.

Zhao Lei said to Zhao Ziliang: "Father, the third brother, the third brother's wife and the envoy have arrived at Jianshu City, and they can return to Hengluosi City tomorrow."

Zhao Ziliang stopped and said, "Okay, tomorrow you and the officials will go outside the city to welcome the third child."

Zhao Lei agreed: "Yes, father."

At this time, Manager Wang came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the new commander of the Royal Guards, Huangfu Xian, wants to see him."

Zhao Ziliang put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Mr.

Wang, "Well, I've finished eating too.

You can take him to the study to wait."

"Yes, Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang changed his clothes and came to the study.

Huangfu Xian quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "I have met the king."

Zhao Ziliang pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down and talk."

After the two sat down, Huangfu Xianhui reported: "Your Majesty, there are new details about the theft of papermaking technology.

Two days ago, the Internal Guard Yamen officially informed the envoy of the Great Food Kingdom, Mahdi, about the case of Monte and the theft of papermaking technology.

They arrested him, and then used Monte as bait to spread false news that Monte was tortured in prison and his willpower almost collapsed.

Last night, Monte was poisoned and murdered in prison.

The person turned out to be the jailer Liu Xiaoyu.

Of course, Monte was not poisoned.

The Internal Guard Yamen made arrangements.

Liu Xiaoyu went out soon after taking action.

The Internal Guard detectives focused on him and found that this man was related to Ma He.

Another attendant near Di came into contact with Fasim, and the internal guards immediately surrounded the two of them on the spot, but Fasim quickly killed Liu Xiaoyu and committed suicide before the internal guards could stop him. " Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "So the arrangement of the inner guard Yamen is like a bamboo basket and all is lost.

Even if Fahim is caught on the spot, he has turned into a corpse.

This is another death without evidence.

How can we find out what's going on behind the scenes?"

mastermind" Huangfu Xian said: "Your Majesty, although we failed to uncover the mastermind this time, Monte confessed the mastermind because he was almost silenced.

He confessed that he was under the instruction of Mahdi, the prince of Dashi King and the envoy to our Western Qin Dynasty.

Abdullah was the one who sneaked into Wang Dagui's paper mill to steal papermaking technology, and was ordered by Mahdi to kill three witnesses.

This is his confession and drawings."

Zhao Ziliang took it and read it once, then returned it to Huangfu Xian and said: "Okay, tomorrow you can hand over the relevant case files to the Judicial Temple.

This case has nothing to do with the Internal Guard Yamen.

Tomorrow the king will send someone to find Mahdi."

Let’s talk about this” "Yes, Your Majesty" March 15th was the day of the court meeting, and all the senior officials and generals in Hengluosi came to the palace.

Zhao Ziliang sat on the throne, looked at the hourglass next to him, and asked, "Have Zhao Ting and his party arrived?"

An official from the Department of Ceremonies stood up and saluted: "Back to your Majesty, the third prince and the envoy have arrived outside the city and will enter the city soon."

"Let Zhao Ting and Dugu Wensu come directly to attend the court meeting."

"Yes, Your Majesty" After the official of the Ceremony Department retired, an official walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Mahdi of the Great Food King is waiting for summons outside the palace."

"Let him in" "Yes, Your Majesty" Mahdi, who was wearing Dashi costume, was quickly brought in.

He saluted Zhao Ziliang and said, "Mahdi has met His Highness the King of Western Qin."

Zhao Ziliang said: "Prince Mahdi, you are the envoy of the Dashi Kingdom stationed in our Western Qin.

Our Western Qin officials have never slighted you in terms of etiquette, right?

But what you have done in Hengluosi in the past two years has destroyed everything."

It has affected the relationship between our two countries.”

Mahdi pretended to be calm and said: "Why did the king say this?"

"Abdallah, the defendant in the paper-making theft case, has a close relationship with your bodyguard Monte.

According to his confession, he was ordered by your bodyguard Monte to sneak into Wang Dagui's paper mill to steal the paper-making technology.

And your bodyguard Monte killed three witnesses, but he refused to admit it at first.

Then another of your guards, Fasim, bribed jailer Liu Xiaoyu to poison Monte, but Monte was lucky and was not poisoned, so he accepted it.

Fasim, who bought Liu Xiaoyu, was surrounded by me from Xiqin.

This person killed Liu Xiaoyu and then committed suicide.

Although these cannot prove that you are the mastermind behind this case, your suspicion is beyond doubt.

Next, you His luck was not so good.

Monte survived because he was silenced.

He confessed that you were the mastermind behind all this.

Here are all the relevant case files, testimonies and exhibits.

Prince Mahdi, what else do you have to say?"

Mahdi knew that he could not deny it, and it was useless to deny it.

He said: "Your Majesty, you are right.

I controlled this matter, but you cannot punish me for it.

According to the agreement signed by both of us, we will exchange envoys and build buildings.

According to the embassy's agreement, the envoy has diplomatic immunity and I should be acquitted."

Zhao Ziliang said with a straight face: "Of course the Western Qin royal court will abide by the diplomatic agreement, but what you have done is no longer worthy of being an envoy.

From now on, we in Western Qin will never recognize your identity as an envoy.

We will send people there."

Meet Liu Mingjian, our Western Qin envoy in Baghdad, the capital of your country, and ask him to take note of your Caliph and inform him of your actions in our Western Qin territory.

This is a serious diplomatic incident, and the Dashi Kingdom must deal with it thing Make a formal official apology to our country, Western Qin, otherwise we, West Qin, will unilaterally impose sanctions on the Great Eater Country.

In view of your actions that have seriously affected the image of the Great Eater Nation in our Western Qin, I have decided that starting from today, all In our country, Da Shi people must go to the local patrol room to report and accept supervision every three days to prevent such things from happening again.

You are not allowed to leave Hengluo until Da Shi Country has made a formal response to us, Xi Qin.

City" Mahdi's face changed drastically: "Your Highness, this is house arrest in disguise."

"Relatively speaking, you are free, but you cannot leave Hengluosi for the time being.

If your Dashi Kingdom responds, I, the Western Qin Dynasty, will naturally send the prince out of the country as a courtesy.

Before that, I would like to ask His Highness to be patient and not to come.

Send Prince Mahdi back to the embassy” Outside the palace, two Western Qin warriors with swords and armor came in and said: "Prince, please" Mahdi turned around and walked out with a look of despair.

Zhao Ziliang said to the officials and generals: "The paper-making theft case reminds us that we should be wary of the surrounding countries sending people to sneak into our Western Qin to steal various related skills.

Most of our Western Qin's skills are brought from the Central Plains.

Some of them have been improved, such as papermaking, porcelain burning, tea frying, ink making, and printing. , sericulture, textiles, sinan, steelmaking and ironmaking, etc.

These skills are the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors.

It has been through countless generations of experiments that we have today's mature technologies.

These technologies are extremely valuable.

If If it is stolen by aliens, then we are sinners.

Those who steal technology must be severely punished.

Severe punishment must be imposed as an enemy country's detailed work.

At the same time, we must also strengthen supervision in this area.

On the one hand, everyone who holds the technology must find ways to keep these technologies secret; on the other hand, our government must also establish a new The Yamen specializes in detecting and preventing such cases.

From my point of view, it is better to just A commercial crime investigation department will be established within the Neiwei Yamen to deal with those criminals who steal trade secrets and technology, engage in commercial fraud, and sell trade secrets and technology.

Huangfu Xian, you must hurry up and get the Neiwei to do this as soon as possible.

The Yamen established the Commercial Crime Investigation Department and carried out its functions."

Huangfu Xian stood up and clasped his fists and agreed: "Yes, your Majesty, I will obey your orders."

Zhao Ziliang looked at Liu Tiao and asked: "Prime Minister Liu, how are the immigration matters to the Protectorate of Kimak, Yaik and Khazar Protectorate going?"

Liu Tiao stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Returning to your Majesty, as of the end of last month, 70,000 people have moved from the Central Plains last year.

Currently, these 70,000 people have been divided into three batches and moved to Kimak, Yaik, Khazaria, etc.

In addition, 80,000 people from various places in our Western Qin Dynasty were moved to these three places.

When the original people come to Western Qin, we will pay and help them move to these three places.

The relocation is still in progress.

Our Government Affairs Council plans to move three million people to these three places within ten years.

On the one hand, Reduce the population pressure on the five major protective prefectures, and on the other hand, strengthen our rule in these three places."

"Immigration matters cannot be delayed or shelved, they must be continued."

After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he asked: "General Chu, how are the preparations for the Military Academy going?"

Chu Ge stood up and clasped his fists in salute: "Back to your Majesty, after the location of the Military Academy was determined, the construction of the school building began.

Currently, 30% of the project has been completed.

The candidates for the academy's professors are also being selected, but the recruitment of students has not yet been completed.

It hasn’t started yet, it needs to be decided by the king.”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The officer class is initially set to recruit 100 people, 60% of whom will be recruited from the military, 30% from the civilian population, and 10% from the recommendation of generals such as lieutenant generals or above.

Each person can only recommend one person, either from the civilian population or recommended by the generals.

There is no restriction on origin, as long as the family background is innocent , parents with no criminal records are eligible.

Applicants for the military are required to be at the rank of sergeant or above.

Both military and civilian enrollment must require students to apply.

Only if they pass the exam can they be admitted.

If the number of qualified people is not enough for the tentative quota, it is better to have a shortage than to admit.

Qualified students” "The maximum number of people in the school officer class is set at sixty.

Applicants must be captains or majors.

If the number of admitted students is less than sixty, we would rather have a shortage than fill up the number."

"There is no limit to the number of general officers, but there will never be more than ten people in each period.

Each candidate is personally designated by the king.

I will determine the list of candidates for the general officer class within ten days, and the class will officially start on April 10th. , the Military Academy will be taught by the King himself in July.

The school officially starts on the 18th, when the officer class and the school officer class start at the same time.

Therefore, before the class starts, the students who report must be tested and marked.

The admission list must be announced before June, allowing the admitted students to have one and a half months.
