Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

And it seems that even after being injured and unable to continue fighting, there is a good guarantee. It is clearly stated above that once injured due to missions and unable to continue fighting in the future, the empire will provide it with a stable rear job...

However, under Qin Ji's inoculation, no one acted lightly—from Qin Taiwei's words, it seems that this job is not to defend against foreign enemies, but... to attack one's own people?

What work?Start with your own people?

Of course they don't understand it.Because their work, in Qin Ji's view, has another unique name. In Qin Ji's world, there is an organization and position that can explain their work:

Dongchang, Jinyiwei.

Chapter 37 Drawing

The empire needs stability, Qin Ji is very aware of this, and for the empire, if it wants to completely handle the situation in the empire, it is impossible to rely on the emperor and him alone.

It needs a team that can be completely obedient, and only obedient to myself and Xia Yuxiao, and its professionalism must be high enough. Only in this way can it guarantee absolute suppression in the face of internal affairs.

Qin Ji is not a big villain who likes to exclude others, and he doesn't bother to exclude others.There are many people, although they have some bad views about themselves, but those people are still thinking about the country in the final analysis.He wished there were more such people.

However, except for those who are connected with foreign countries, or even colluded with each other to try to disrupt the situation in Daxia.

Qin Ji wants to do a lot of things in Xia Guo, and do a lot of things that people from another world should do in this world, so he doesn't want the Xia Guo he manages to be a chaotic and poor Xia Guo, at least, now he needs Xia Guo remained stable.

In charge of training these people, Qin Ji handed it over to Lingyan.According to Qin Ji's request, Lingyan doesn't need to train them to a certain extent, but only needs to make them good at infiltration and reverse osmosis, suitable for special secret investigation and other tasks.

For Qin Ji's request, Lingyan naturally agreed. She is a professional in this field, and it is not a problem to be responsible for training these people.

"By the way, young master, I found out something from the previous assassin."

At night, Qin Ji was wearing pajamas eating delicious roast leg of lamb, Lingyan suddenly said.

At this time, Lingyan was holding a sharp knife in her hand, and neatly cut off pieces of lamb leg meat for Qin Ji, and then put them on the scones for Qin Ji to eat.And Qin Ji was also happy to accept such care.

It's not that he's lazy, it's that he really doesn't know how to cut the leg of lamb. The leg of lamb he cut is either too fat or too thin, too greasy or clogged.And Lingyan is much better than what he cut himself.

The unique aroma of mutton came in from his nostrils, Qin Ji took a deep breath of the aroma in the air, and then bit down the mutton and scones.

"What did he say?"

"From the information he revealed, at least I can be sure that this is instigated by the same person who attacked you last time and sneaked into the palace to threaten the emperor." Lingyan said, "The other party is a king, and There are obviously a lot of cards in his hand, according to the assassin, there are many people like him in the hands of that king, and those people are very loyal to their king."

"So that's how it is," Qin Ji nodded. In this way, the other party understood why he targeted him a few times, "Is there anything else?"

"What's more..." Lingyan paused for a moment, and then said, "What's more, he admitted that their main purpose is actually not His Majesty, but you, Young Master."

Qin Ji raised his eyebrows.

He thought of this, after all, the first time the other party provoked the emperor first, and then came to assassinate himself, this is a typical attempt to blame him and provoke the relationship between him and Xia Yuxiao (although the relationship between the two is not good in the first place) ).

The second time, that is, this time, was to assassinate Xia Yuxiao, but there were not many people who really dealt with Xia Yuxiao. When Qin Ji ran out with Xia Yuxiao in his arms, these people didn't seem to really intend to hurt Xia Yuxiao. When it came to Xia Yuxiao, she was injured instead.

There are too many reasons for him.

Qin Ji is a minister of power, although he himself is very reluctant to admit this, but this is an indisputable fact, Qin Ji is now covering up the sky in Da Xia, and is basically not afraid of anyone except Xia Yuxiao.And in this way, there are naturally countless people who want to kill him.

He didn't believe that the king assassinated him for Xia Yuxiao's sake. If it was really for Xia Yuxiao's sake, then he felt that it was impossible for the other party to drag Xia Yuxiao into such a danger—you know, like If he is such a powerful minister, if he is in a hurry, he will really do things like coercing the emperor to make the princes.But now Qin Jizhai's benevolent heart will naturally not do such immoral things.

If it's not for Xia Yuxiao's sake, then what is it for?

There was only one reason - to weaken Xia Yuxiao.

Simply put, if you can't confront the emperor head-on, then he can always contend with himself, a power minister, and send groups of people to assassinate him, trying to make His Majesty suspect and alienate him by sowing discord. To put it bluntly, I still hope He was able to leave Xia Yuxiao's side.

And if he, Qin Ji, is no longer in power, who will be responsible for the remaining power gap?

It's really interesting.So, everyone admitted that Xia Yuxiao was the most suitable successor, and gave up the idea of ​​fighting for the throne, but in the end, each of them secretly had thoughts that they shouldn't have.

"Lingyan, I asked you to investigate the list of people who had contact with Nanban, have you done it?"

"That? It's already been done."

"Bring it to me, I want to see who is doing it."

After Qin Ji finished speaking, he returned to his study.

Qin Siyue was still drawing in the study, but this time, she didn't draw anything else, but a wolf.

This painting is very vivid: a wolf is lying in the grass, in front of it, a deer is drinking water.

The wolf she painted is very ferocious. Facing its prey, its eyes stare fiercely at the opponent, and the muscles of its lying limbs are smooth, as if it is about to jump up and pounce directly at the opponent at any time.

"Why did you remember to draw this?" Qin Ji asked.

"Aha, after thinking of this, I drew it."

Qin Siyue said.

But Qin Ji knew that his sister didn't mean that.He walked over, sat down, and rubbed his sister's head: "tell me."

"The wolf is staring at his own flesh. Before the deer in front of him notices, he won't let himself be exposed even a little bit," Qin Siyue said with a smile, "However, the deer doesn't know everything. It has been paying attention to the movement around it, and once the wolf gets up, the deer will sense the enemy and run away."

"what's next?"

Qin Ji asked with interest.

"Next, the wolf will start chasing, but not every wolf can hide itself perfectly—" She pointed to the side of the painting, where the wolf's tail was exposed a little from the grass, "you See, when it's focused on its prey, sometimes the rest of the way gets slack."

"Yes, I know."

"I'm just talking about my idea of ​​painting." Qin Siyue smiled, "Brother, do you still have something to do?"

"Yeah, a lot of things."

Qin Ji moved his neck, then came to the table and wrote a letter.

This letter was written to some of my followers.

Networking is really useful sometimes.

Great Xia Central Empire:

One of the largest countries among human beings, located at the eastern end of the human world, is one of the very few countries in the human world that does not believe in the Holy Lord.With a thousand-year-old Guozuo, it has created a miracle of dozens of generations of emperors without a single one being fatuous, with a solid foundation.

Politics: The politics of the Great Xia Central Empire is a centralized autocratic monarchy, where the emperor takes over the power and holds the highest power.

The current new emperor is Xia Yuxiao, the former Second Princess of Great Xia.Today's great power is dominated by the emperor and An Guogong Qin Ji, and a few are controlled by the former princes and former emperor factions.The domestic political environment is relatively turbulent after the new emperor ascended the throne (because the emperor is a woman), and most possible turmoil is currently suppressed by An Guogong.

Economy: After dozens of generations of emperors' construction and the new emperor's new policies, the Great Xia Central Empire is particularly strong in the lifeline industries such as grain, cloth, and minerals. Relying on the well-connected roads and canals in the country, it has frequent and prosperous trade with other countries. The extent is jaw-dropping.

Culture: Great Xia advocates "saint ancestors", who are about to be consecrated and respected for those who have made meritorious deeds in future generations.Foreign exchanges are frequent, the sea is open to all rivers, and missions have been dispatched many times for exchanges. Dresses, trousers and other clothing from Western countries are very popular in Daxia, and a considerable part of them has been integrated into the design of Daxia's traditional clothing.The most famous "Wan Guofang" in Daxia gathers folk architecture, arts and handicrafts, and food from all over the world. It is a must-stop for countless people to visit Daxia.

Military: Daxia has long faced border threats from neighboring countries. Due to the vast borders and the military threats from most countries due to different cultures, Daxia’s military strength has always remained strong. , the Great Xia army has even reached a huge scale of more than 200 million, and the new emperor Xia Yuxiao is also focusing on strengthening the army's combat effectiveness.At present, about 30 relatively elite troops in Daxia are in the hands of Taiwei Qin Ji.

Chapter 38 A Good Show

Qin Ji has many followers.

In fact, these party members are not his own, but left behind by his father in the court.Even though many of them are elders in the true sense for Qin Ji himself, Qin Ji is still their leader in terms of status in the court.Therefore, these partisans will do their best to curry favor with themselves.

Qin Ji naturally knew that this kind of party members connected by interests is definitely not stable, but now he really needs these people. Many of them are involved in various affairs of the court. The reason why Ji was able to do many things beyond his position as a Taiwei is also because of the cooperation of these party members.

And now he wants to use these henchmen to do things for him.

..................................

Xia Yuxiao woke up from her bedroom early in the morning.

She didn't sleep well.She has been dreaming since falling asleep last night.

She dreamed that she was sitting upright in her seat, about to issue some order, when suddenly a tall, strong man in mighty armor came up with a knife, and then half-kneeled on the ground, with a seemingly sincere Faithful words, persuading her to give up the throne.

Of course Xia Yuxiao would not agree, and then, this guy rushed forward, pinned her to the ground, and then swung the knife in his hand.

The scary thing is that Xia Yuxiao didn't wake up from the nightmare because of this, on the contrary, she soon had another dream.

A guy occupied the magpie's nest and manipulated her to control the entire empire. She watched her people die one by one in the endless war and watched the families fall apart.But when she was about to collapse, the guy behind her still forced herself to write down a series of edicts that she didn't want to write down.

When she woke up, she was in a cold sweat.

The things in the dream are of course not reality, but she is indeed worried about this matter in reality.

She knew exactly who the man in the dream was.She also understands that this guy will not really do what he did in the dream - he is very calm, and this is not the best time for him to do it, so it is impossible to really do this kind of thing.

But......

Xia Yuxiao caressed her hands, which once tightly hugged the other person's neck, and she even had hallucinations at that moment: This guy seems to be loyal to me?

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

The girl next to her smiled and looked at her.

"Ah, it's you."

Xia Yuxiao wiped the sweat off her face and said.

The girl in front of her was the daughter of the sheriff whom Qin Ji had recommended before.Because she was surprisingly good at taking care of people, she didn't leave him in the harem to grow hair, but transferred her to her side to take care of herself.

"Is there any memorial today?"

"Today's memorial is very similar to the past." Liu Songyao said, and put a stack of memorials in front of her, "It's so high that I doubt it."

Xia Yuxiao took these memorials and scanned them one by one.

Tsk, what she said is true, the similarity is indeed quite high.

Every day, there will be a batch of memorials dedicated to the impeachment of Qin Ji.This has become a must-have program every day. If there are not a few of Qin Ji's notes for each approval memorial, it will even make people suspect that something abnormal is going to happen today.

However, one of them caught her attention.

In this booklet, it was written about Qin Ji's transfer of [-] elites.Xia Yuxiao has long been accustomed to Qin Ji's deployment of troops. After all, this guy has a lot of military power, so it is very easy to deploy some troops.

In this booklet, he made a generous statement, saying that Qin Ji transferred so many people, he must have ulterior motives, and I implore His Majesty to find out immediately.

Laughing to death, if my mother dares to investigate, why do you still need to shout?

Xia Yuxiao casually threw the memorial aside, then looked at Liu Songyao: "Those notebooks are important? Bring them to me."

"Well, this," Liu Songyao picked out one, "is about the construction of the canal."

"What? There was an accident in the construction of the canal?"

"Ah, no," Liu Songyao said, "everything is going on with the construction of the canal, but the person in charge over there said that there is no money left."
