"His Majesty!"

Yi Huawei coughed lightly and talked about the main purpose of his visit today: "According to the reliable information I have received, many princes and nobles have been slandering me in private recently. Even several young masters are among them."

Hu Hai was slightly stunned, looked up at Yi Huawei in surprise, and asked doubtfully: "Which emperor? Is it the late emperor, or me?"

"Of course it's you, Your Majesty!"

Yi Huawei said, "They said the emperor's will was a fake, claiming that it was fabricated by you, your majesty, Li Si and I."

"This is slander!"

Hu Hai was immediately furious, his eyebrows raised, and his eyes were burning with anger: "When the late emperor drafted the edict, besides us, Prime Minister Feng and Meng Tian were present to witness it. Who is so bold? How dare you criticize me? Criticizing the emperor in private and disobeying the order, according to Qin law, all of you must be beheaded!"

Yi Huawei nodded slightly, his expression solemn. He slowly took out a piece of silk from his sleeve pocket, handed it to Hu Hai with both hands, and said: "This is the list of those people... However, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and it is not appropriate to kill them at this time, which will affect Your Majesty's reputation for benevolence. Why not send them to the border and exile them to Nanyue? Your Majesty, if these thousands of people can be kept to expand the territory and fill Lingnan, it can also be regarded as a contribution to the prosperity and stability of Daqin. Moreover, in this way, it not only demonstrates Your Majesty's benevolence, but also allows them to reflect on their mistakes in a difficult place and atone for the country of Daqin."

"Good! Just do as the teacher says!"

Hu Hai showed a satisfied look on his face and nodded slightly: "I'll leave this matter to you!"

Seeing Yi Huawei standing there and not leaving, Hu Hai frowned slightly and couldn't help but asked, "Teacher, do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

Yi Huawei nodded and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I want to set up several new departments. The first is the Academy of Social Sciences, which can gather knowledgeable people from all over the world to study classics, history, astronomy, geography, and state governance strategies, and provide Your Majesty with more wisdom and strategies. The second is the Military Affairs Office, which is responsible for handling urgent military affairs and important government affairs, making efficient decisions, and ensuring the security and stability of the empire. The third is the Black Dragon Guard, which is responsible for supervising officials and collecting intelligence, helping Your Majesty to understand the affairs of the world and maintain Your Majesty's majesty. Fourth, the Central Military Academy..."

However, before Yi Huawei could explain in detail the specific roles of several departments and the selection of officials, Hu Hai waved his hand nonchalantly, with a trace of fatigue on his face: "Okay, teacher, you can do it yourself! I'm tired and need to go to sleep for a while."

After saying this, Hu Hai gently waved his hand, and the two palace maids understood and hurried forward, carefully supporting Hu Hai. Hu Hai slowly stood up with the help of the palace maids, and walked towards the bedroom with slightly heavy steps.

Yi Huawei shrugged slightly, then put his hands naturally into his sleeves and walked slowly out of the palace.

One must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. He should not rush into reforms but should proceed step by step.

The Black Dragon Guard and the Military Affairs Office are the top priorities, and the other departments only need to set up the framework first. As Yi Huawei walked, he continued to perfect the ideas about the two departments in his mind, thinking about how to select the right talents.

Zhao Mansion.

In the main house.

The weather in November was already very cold, but the room seemed exceptionally warm.

The floor of the room was covered with a thick blanket, which was soft and silent when stepped on. On the wall hung several exquisite calligraphy and paintings, with the brush strokes flowing like dragons and snakes. In the corner of the room stood an exquisite incense burner, with curling green smoke rising up, exuding a faint fragrance that made people feel peaceful.

There are several pots of cold-resistant green plants placed by the window. Although it is already cold, they are still full of vitality. The sunlight shines in through the carved windows, forming patches of light on the ground.

In the center is placed an exquisite copper brazier with a blazing charcoal fire emitting bursts of warmth.

On the right side, there is an exquisite fireplace with a blazing firewood burning in the hearth, which constantly emits warmth. The fireplace is made of solid stone, and the edges are carved with simple patterns, which perfectly blends in with the overall style of the room. The dancing flames illuminate everything around, adding a sense of warmth and comfort to the entire room.

The furniture in the room is made of high-quality wood, deep in color and of excellent quality. The corners of the tables and chairs are carved with exquisite patterns, delicate and exquisite. A gorgeous palace lantern hangs in the center of the room, and the patterns on the lantern are lifelike, and under the light, it is even more beautiful.

Chenxi sat quietly in the reclining chair, holding the teacup in both hands and blowing gently. The hot steam rose and swayed slightly in the air. He took a sip carefully, and the temperature of the tea was just right. A faint bitterness instantly spread in his mouth. The bitterness was not strong, but it was clearly felt. After a short pause, the bitterness gradually turned into a sweet fragrance, and his mouth and tongue suddenly became salivating, leaving a long aftertaste.

Squinting her eyes slightly, the frown on Chenxi's pretty face slowly relaxed. The charcoal fire was blazing in the room, and the heat filled the air, and soon people could feel a hint of warmth.

Chenxi gently waved her hand and signaled to the maid beside her: "Open the window a little."

"promise!"

The maid behind her responded, walked quickly to the window, and carefully opened a crack. Suddenly, a cold wind blew in, bringing with it the chill of winter.

Chenxi raised her chin slightly, feeling the comfort, the cool air made her mind clear. She nodded slightly, then stood up, slowly walked to the window, and looked out quietly.

Outside the window, the cold wind blew and leaves fell.

Chenxi's eyes were a little blurry, and it was unknown what she was thinking. After a while, she slowly turned around, lifted her skirt gracefully, looked at the palace maid and asked:

"How do I look today?"

Chenxi wore a dark purple gown with curved hems today. The hem of her skirt swayed slightly with her movements, like a blooming violet. The neckline and cuffs were embroidered with simple dark patterns, which added a touch of refinement. Under the sunlight, the dark patterns were faintly visible. She wore a dark red belt around her waist, which just highlighted her slender waist and made her look even more graceful.

Her long, shiny hair was neatly combed into a bun, with only a white jade hairpin inserted in her hair, simple yet elegant. The white jade hairpin looked even more crystal clear against her black hair. Her beautiful face had fair skin, like white jade, and her curved eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was feeling a little sad. Her lips were pursed, and the corners of her slightly raised mouth were flattened because of a little anxiety, but it still couldn't hide her natural beauty.

Xiaolan leaned forward and smiled, "The princess is naturally beautiful, and this outfit makes her look even more beautiful than a fairy."

Chenxi smiled and smoothed the hair that fell on her chest.

At this moment, a familiar sound of footsteps came from the door. Chen Xi hurriedly stood up and went over, opened the door, looked at Yi Huawei and asked anxiously: "How is it? What did His Majesty say?"

"Why are you so anxious today?"

Yi Huawei waved his hand, and the two maids behind Chenxi understood. After bowing, they turned and walked out of the room, closing the door.

"Ziying is my only brother, if I'm not anxious, who would be?" Seeing the smile on Yi Huawei's face, Chenxi felt relieved. She took off Yi Huawei's cloak and hung it aside, saying coquettishly, "There are rumors all over the city now. Although it has nothing to do with Ziying, I'm afraid someone will involve him. Ziying is smart, but he doesn't know that people are treacherous. Finding something for him to do will prevent him from making trouble out of nothing."

"Is there anything I can't handle?"

Yi Huawei raised his chin, looked at Chenxi's expectant eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, walked to the table leisurely and sat down, patted his thigh, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes:
"There are several places now. Where do you want Ziying to go?"

"Which ones?"

Chenxi sat down without any hesitation, one hand affectionately hugged Yi Huawei's neck, the other hand gently twisted his waist, and said coquettishly: "Don't keep me in suspense, tell me now!"

Yi Huawei took advantage of the situation and grabbed Chenxi's hand, which was soft and delicate, as warm as white jade. He gently kneaded Chenxi's round and smooth fingers, feeling the delicateness of her skin, and smiled:
"One is the Academy of Social Sciences, which is an important place for studying classics, history, astronomy, geography, and statecraft. However, this is very boring and requires patience. Moreover, this matter will be handed over to Prime Minister Feng, who is rigorous in his academic research. Working under him is probably not a good place to spend a leisurely life."

"Well, Ziying is not that kind of person."

Chenxi looked up at Yi Huawei, with a mist in her eyes: "What else?"

"There is also the Military Affairs Council and the Central Military Academy."

Yi Huawei smiled and said, "As the name suggests, it is a place to handle the country's military affairs and train military talents. It is managed by Lord Wei and General Wang."

"Then just tell me where you are responsible!"

Seeing the smile in Yi Huawei's eyes, Chenxi couldn't help but lean over and gently bite his neck. Then she looked up at Yi Huawei with her nose slightly raised. She looked both cute and a little angry.

"I am in charge of the Black Dragon Guard and the Military Construction Department!"

Yi Huawei stretched out his hand and gently pinched her nose, then said with a smile: "It is not appropriate for the military to create a virgin baby, let him go to the Black Dragon Guard."

"Black Dragon Guard?"

Chenxi frowned and looked at Yi Huawei with some confusion: "Where is that?"

Yi Huawei smiled and said, "You should know the predecessor of the Black Dragon Guard, the Honglu Temple (Honglu Gate), right?"

The predecessor of Honglu Temple was called "Honglu Temple Secretary", which was originally responsible for the supervision and disposal of royal civil servants and the promotion of the emperor's policies. Later, it gradually developed into an institution specializing in supervision, intelligence and the execution of secret missions.

After Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, he felt deeply threatened by the bureaucratic forces of various countries, so he vigorously promoted the development of this agency, making it one of the highest-ranking officials in Qin, with power rising directly to the level of the emperor. It is equivalent to the Jinyiwei during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang. (There is no Heibingtai, which is an intelligence organization in Qin Shi Huang)
The members of the Honglu Temple were loyal, reliable and capable people recruited from the army, officials and the public.

The personnel selected from the military have stronger physical fitness and combat skills, and they are responsible for carrying out some dangerous intelligence collection and secret missions; the people selected from the officials have a better understanding of the political situation and officialdom, and specialize in collecting political intelligence; the personnel recruited from the civilian population all have some special skills or relationship networks, and can obtain information that is difficult to obtain through other channels.

After training, these people will be sent to government offices, the military, important places at all levels in China, and the palaces and government offices of other countries. These spies use various identities as cover, such as officials' attendants, businessmen, scholars, etc., to secretly collect intelligence and report to the intelligence organization regularly.

When Qin Dynasty's diplomatic envoys went to other countries, in addition to completing diplomatic missions, they also collected intelligence on the politics, military, economy, etc. of the countries they were in.

"Honglu Temple?"

Chenxi's eyes widened, and the mist in her eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by surprise and confusion. She frowned slightly, pinched Yi Huawei's waist hard, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "You let Ziying be a spy? This is too dangerous."

"you're so dumb?"

Yi Huawei held Chenxi's hand, with a helpless smile on his face: "Who said that the Honglu Temple only has spies? There are also intelligence analysts who are responsible for selecting valuable information from a large amount of intelligence to provide a basis for decision-making; internal supervisors; and logistics management personnel!"

"Oh~, that's good!"

Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of apology on her face. She bit her lips lightly, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes. Suddenly she leaned forward and kissed Yi Huawei lightly on the cheek. The soft touch made Yi Huawei slightly stunned.

Chenxi blushed and said, "I was mistaken. I shouldn't be so impulsive. You must have your reasons for making such an arrangement. If Ziying goes to the Honglu Temple, what exactly can he do? I also want to have a better idea."

"See what he wants to do!"

Yi Huawei smiled, his eyes full of confidence: "As a brother-in-law, I can still protect him!"

Yi Huawei knew that Ziying was a calm and reserved person, not the kind of person who was arrogant and domineering. As long as Ziying did not overdo things, Yi Huawei had enough confidence to ensure that no one could touch him.

"Hmm~,"

Hearing Yi Huawei's words, Chenxi's heart skipped a beat, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She bit her lip, slightly raised her pretty face, slowly approached Yi Huawei, and gently covered Yi Huawei's lips with her red lips.

After a long time, the lips parted.

Chenxi's cheeks were flushed, and there was a hint of shyness and happiness in her eyes. She snuggled in Yi Huawei's arms, feeling his heartbeat and warmth. She gently closed her eyes and calmed herself down.

After a while, Chenxi suddenly opened his eyes, tightly grasped Yi Huawei's clothes, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "I don't know where my father is now? I don't know if he is okay now..."

"Do not worry!"

Yi Huawei gently patted Chenxi's shoulder and said, "Sir, you are a lucky person. We will definitely find him. I have sent people to look for you. They are all smart and capable people. I believe there will be results soon."

Yi Huawei's words were like a reassurance. Chenxi raised her head slightly, looked at Yi Huawei's determined eyes, and felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart. She gently moved her body and snuggled more closely in Yi Huawei's arms like a kitten seeking shelter.

Listening to Yi Huawei's steady heartbeat, Chenxi closed his eyes, feeling the breath of Yi Huawei, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
