The palace of the Western Qin Dynasty.
Cen Shen reported to Zhao Ziliang, who was processing official documents: "Your Majesty, the Eastern Romans have submitted a complaint to the Judicial Temple.
The Judicial Temple has accepted the case and decided to open a trial in five days."
Zhao Ziliang nodded: "Okay, don't worry 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 did he have to deal with the military and political affairs of the Western Qin Dynasty, but he also presided over the non-war strategy for the nearby Big Food Country, weakening the country economically and in other ways. .
After thinking for a while, Zhao Ziliang pulled the hanging rope next to him.
A bell rang outside the study.
A middle-aged scribe in official uniform came in and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang looked up and said with a smile: "It's Bo Qin.
It's your turn to be your father today, okay?"
Li Boqin, Li Bai's eldest son, cupped his hands and replied: "I'm sorry to bother you, but my father is drinking and having fun at home every day.
He is as happy as a god.
His subordinates often advise him that drinking too much is harmful to his health, but he just doesn't listen."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and smiled: "Your father, he is very contradictory in his heart.
He longs for fame and fortune, but he does not want to bend down to serve the powerful; he longs for a career, but in his heart he yearns for a fairyland-like life outside the world.
He I have lived in extreme contradictions all my life.
Perhaps it is these contradictions that Because of his talent, I have always been very generous to my subordinates.
If he can't continue working here, where else can he go to be an official?
You must not be like your father.
You must have a goal in your heart.
Once you have determined the goal, you must unswervingly pursue it.
Move toward your goals so you don’t follow in your father’s footsteps.”
Li Boqin bowed and said, "Boqin understands."
"Okay, you send someone to inform the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Huangfu Xian, and the Governor of the Internal Security Department, Xuan Shisan, to come over."
"yes" Huangfu Xian and Xuan Shisan hadn't arrived yet, but Wang Can came first.
"Meet the King" Zhao Ziliang put down the official document and asked, "Wang Can, why are you here in trouble?"
Wang Can cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the spies from Dongchang just came to report that Aziz, the deputy envoy of the Dashi Embassy, went out two days ago and secretly summoned a dozen Dashi people.
None of these people were there.
The spies then followed these people and found that they were heading west after leaving Hengluosi.
They spent a day catching up with the former Eastern Roman envoy Julius who was escorting him out of the country.
Our police officers" Zhao Ziliang understood clearly: "You mean the target of these cannibals is Julius?"
Wang Can nodded and said: "It's very possible."
Zhao Ziliang did not pursue this matter.
How did Dongchang, who was in charge of Wang Can, take care of things in West Qin?
The responsibility of Dongchang was to collect external intelligence and conduct overseas intelligence activities, but it inevitably had to contact the West Qin territory.
At the same time, once overseas intelligence is related to the country, there must be someone inside the country to cooperate.
However, the East Factory is an independent intelligence department and does not want to be related to the West Factory and the internal guards.
Therefore, although most of the East Factory's detailed operations are deployed overseas, There are also agents working within the territory.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "What do you think their purpose is?"
Wang Can said: "Of course the cannibals don't want to invite Julius as a guest.
I'm afraid they are not so hospitable, and Julius is not so elegant.
The general will boldly guess that the purpose of the cannibals is to Kill Julius in our territory, and then blame our Western Qin for this matter.
As long as we can't find out who did it, the responsibility for Julius's death lies with our Western Qin.

When the time comes, the Eastern Roman Empire will How to react The killing of a country's envoy abroad is tantamount to a blatant provocation.
Even if the relationship between the Eastern Roman Empire and our Western Qin has not reached the point of needing war, the relationship between the two countries will definitely deteriorate sharply, and this incident will also bring serious consequences.
Our country has caused bad influence among the surrounding countries.
Even the safety of envoys cannot be guaranteed.
The safety of other business travelers cannot be guaranteed even more.
Who will dare to come to our Western Qin to do business in the future?"
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Yes, you are right to think so.
We cannot let the cannibal's conspiracy succeed, at least within our sphere of influence in Western Qin.
We will never allow the cannibal to act recklessly outside our sphere of influence in Western Qin.
They can do whatever they like, I, Xi Qin, have no control over how many people escort Julius on patrol."
"eight" Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "The strength is too weak.
Contact the garrisons along the way and ask each post station and fortress to send troops and horses to escort them all the way."
Wang Can said: "Your Majesty, there is a garrison station every fifty miles along our Mengchi Protectorate, with as many as one hundred people and as few as twenty people.
The weapons and equipment are very complete.
This section of the journey should be no problem. , but if after entering the territory of Ogus, our army’s The garrison has been significantly reduced.
Sometimes there is only one military station every two or three hundred miles.
The number of people is not very large, and the activities of soldiers in the military station are also restricted.
The general speculates that the cannibals must want to be in Ogus or in Khwarizm.
If we take action within the country, the most likely possibility is to take action within the territory of Huacizm.”
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Why is it in the territory of Huacizm and not in the territory of Ogus?"
Wang Can said: "Because Huacizmo borders the Great Food Country, those Great Eaters can quickly retreat into the territory of the Great Food Country after they succeed.
We can't investigate even if we want to."
"Then let Ogus and Khwarizm send soldiers and horses to escort them along the way."
Wang Can reminded: "Your Majesty, Ogus and Huaqizimo only surrender to the King, and do not need to take orders from the Western Qin official.
Therefore, if you want Ogus and Huaqizim to send troops and horses to escort them along the way, you must have your signature. warrant" Zhao Ziliang frowned: "For this trivial matter, let me write a handwritten letter to King Oghuz Khan and King Khwarizm Khan.
You send someone to the Eighth Army's station and ask the Eighth Army to send a soldier to escort them along the way.
Ogus and Khwarizm until they are escorted to the border of the Crimean Peninsula and handed over to the border patrol of the Eastern Roman Empire."
"Yes, General Mo will do it now" Soon after Wang Can left, Huangfu Xian and Xuan Shisan arrived.
"Meet the King" Zhao Ziliang said: "I called you here today because I want to hear how you plan to let Jinyiwei function.
If Jinyiwei cannot play its due role, then what value does it have?
Huangfu Xian, you are the main official in charge of Jinyiwei now.
It’s been so many days, so there should be a detailed plan.”
Huangfu Xian clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, after understanding the various yamen of Jinyiwei these days, my subordinates finally figured out the current situation of Jinyiwei.
Jinyiwei is not yet capable of taking the initiative to investigate the case, which means that it cannot pay attention to the activities of the officials at any time.
We can only wait for outsiders to report changes in our thinking.
If no outsiders report, Jinyiwei will be a blind yamen, knowing nothing.
This is the first flaw and the second flaw. , that is, there is a shortage of manpower, not only a shortage of manpower, but also a lack of capable case investigators.
Regarding these two points, my subordinates have discussed with Xuan Shisan and plan to transfer elite personnel from the internal guards to the South Yamen and Beiyamen.
Enrich the number of case-handling personnel and improve their case-handling capabilities; in addition, train and develop some informants in batches in a planned manner, and use these people to keep an eye on those who are corrupt and perverting the law, harming the country and the people, and premeditating rebellion."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, I'll do it as you said.
But I want to remind you that you can secretly develop informants to monitor hundreds of officials, but this matter must not be known to the outside world, let alone hundreds of officials.
The officer knows that there are only three of us here.
If there is a third The four of them know that once the news spreads and gets known by the officials, it may trigger collective opposition from all officials.
By then, you, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, may not be able to do it.
Before the Jinyiwei handles the case, someone must report it.

Even if there is no one, there must be someone.
Find a way to find someone to report it.
Only in this way do you have a reason to investigate.
If no one reports it and you take the initiative to investigate, the officials will only be afraid that everyone will be in danger.
I don’t want to cause trouble in the officialdom of Western Qin and put everyone in danger.
The political situation needs to be stable and clear.
It should not only make officials feel that everyone is in danger, but also Let them understand that someone may be watching, and as long as they make a big mistake, they may be deprived of their official title or even lose their head.
People have no selfish intentions.
It is normal and understandable for officials to seek small personal gains for themselves.
As long as they make a big mistake.
Unless you make a big mistake of principle, don’t touch them.”
Huangfu Xian agreed: "Yes, your Majesty's subordinates understand."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Xuan Shisan again, "Although the inner guard Yamen is not idle, in my opinion, it is not enough.
Wang Can came just now.
Dongchang found out that someone from the cannibal embassy contacted more than a dozen cannibal killers.
These people None of them have entry registration or identity.
They followed Julius who was sent back to the country a few days ago.
What is their purpose?
Wang Can Analysis, the cannibal wanted to kill Julius within our sphere of influence, so as to put the blame on me, Western Qin.
After all, people died in our Western Qin.
Is it possible that once something goes wrong with our Western Qin, we will be responsible?
It has had a great impact on the relationship between our Western Qin and the Eastern Roman Empire.
The main enemy we need to deal with now is the cannibal.
To deal with the Eastern Roman Empire The country is secondary, so things like Julius not being able to die should have been within the purview of your internal guards, but you have been robbed of business by Dongchang.
You, the boss of the internal guards, have not done enough.
Okay, internal security must not only be good at handling cases, but also have timely sources of information.
They must be able to do this: as long as there is an enemy who wants to attack us, If the Western Qin Dynasty is unfavorable, the Neiwei Yamen can get the news in time and make deployment as quickly as possible, or take action before the enemy takes action to nip the threat in the bud.
This is what the Neiwei Yamen needs to do.
In order to reduce the constraints and pressure on you, from now on, the inner guards will be separated from the imperial guards and will be directly responsible to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty":
