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

"Confer the king?!"

Wuheya stared at Qin Ji with wide eyes.

An Guogong, this title has always been with Qin Ji and his father, and Wuheya, who has a deep understanding of Daxia, also knows that for a non-royal child like Qin Ji, being named a "gong" is already a top priority .

But now, he has become the king?

What is this operation?Even if he has military exploits, he wouldn't be promoted so fast, right?And if you think about it carefully, the biggest thing Qin Ji has done recently is to organize a counterattack against the Thrall Dynasty and take back Cold Yin City...

Ah no, is the record given to him by his hometown so great?

"Yes, thanks to His Majesty's love."

Qin Ji told the truth.

"Congratulations to Taiwei, it is a great honor to be crowned king in the Great Xia court." Wuheya said politely, and then suddenly froze.

Wait a minute, think about it carefully, although Qin Ji has made some contributions, he hasn't reached the point where he can directly become king, right?

Even if he really had the credit for being a king, at least it shouldn't be so fast. According to Daxia's process, if he really wanted to be a king, he would have to wait until next year to formally confer the title if he followed the process.Why is Qin Ji so fast?

Thinking about it carefully, Qin Ji seems to have become a little closer to the Emperor of Great Xia this time. Could it be...

Impossible, impossible, Qin Ji is not such a person!If such an improper method is really used to seal the king, Qin Ji will not agree.Well, that's right!

When she was thinking about this, Qin Ji and Xia Yuxiao didn't know what she was thinking. Xia Yuxiao took the paper and pen casually, then gritted her teeth and began to write a document on it.

This is a document about Wuheya's formalities in Daxia. With this document, Wuheya can have almost the same treatment as the nobles of Daxia in Daxia.It also prevents you from being stopped by people you don't know if you want to go out.

As for whether she will take the opportunity to slip away... I can only say that if she really does, then the Thrall Dynasty may suffer.

The proton ran away by himself, and for Da Xia, there was every reason to launch another war against the Saar Dynasty.Wuheya is a smart person, unless the situation really develops to the point of threatening her life, she will not do this.

However, it was obvious that Xia Yuxiao's arms were not yet sharp, and it was still difficult for her to write documents now.

"Qin Ji, help me."

She raised her chin, signaling Qin Ji to grind the ink next to her.

"Yes."

Qin Ji walked over, set up the inkstone, dipped the ink stick in water, the slight grinding sound made people feel inexplicably at ease.

After grinding the ink leisurely, Qin Ji brought the inkstone in front of Xia Yuxiao, and made a "please" gesture.

"From now on, you will live in Tai'an City. If you have anything to do, you can go to Qin Ji first. After all, acquaintances are easy to handle. If Qin Ji can't solve it or make up your mind, you can come to me."

After finishing writing the document, Xia Yuxiao asked Qin Ji to hand over the document, and then said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chapter 77 Chamber of Commerce?Spy agency!

Sending Wuheya away, Xia Yuxiao asked Qin Ji to stay for a while.

"How is it? Do you think Wuheya is useful now?" Xia Yuxiao looked at the gift Wuheya brought over this time—this gift is very expensive, and it is a spiritual stone carving from the Saar Dynasty.Originally, spirit stones (magic crystals) were valuable, but they were not so valuable that they could be used as diplomatic gifts.

But the carving of the spirit stone that Wuheya gave was actually a Tenglong carved out of a whole large piece of spirit stone.It is as big as a table.Such a large piece of spirit stone is very rare, and this dragon is even more delicately crafted.The practical value is not high, but the ornamental value is full.

"If His Majesty wants her to be valuable, then she will be valuable. Otherwise, without your Majesty's request, Wuheya can only do so much."

Qin Ji sat opposite Xia Yuxiao, and said.

This time he sat down directly, without Xia Yuxiao even giving him a seat.

He knew that Wuheya's appearance would bring great opportunities to Daxia.

"I hope to be able to comprehensively judge Wuheya's reliability. Once our strategy is really implemented, Wuheya's personal ability will become particularly important. If she doesn't live up to her expectations, we will not be able to help her reverse the situation—— Daxia can't just leave the game to deal with the internal affairs of foreign countries, otherwise, most other countries will become more nervous towards us."

Xia Yuxiao gave such an answer.

Great Xia is certainly strong now, but this kind of strength is only temporary after all. If you want to continue this strength, you can't rush.It is of course the most efficient to directly spend a large sum of money to mobilize the army to quell the Saar Dynasty, but to take a Saar Dynasty, in exchange for at least ten or even decades of rebellion that will not stop, There are also a group of poor and deadly regional constructions that need to be invested...

And it will also cause other countries to be overly nervous about Daxia.Daxia has the ability to fight, but if he really fights so quickly, the loss outweighs the gain.

Except for countries like Samanjan, which are not too strong and can provoke anyone, if a country like this fights, it will fight, because this matter is not authentic on the side of the Holy Bishop, and it is natural to stabilize the security of the surrounding area. One of Xia's strategies.

"I understand, I will also talk to her more to see if she is worthy of our help."

"Then I'll trouble you. By the way, did Lingyan's interrogation have any results?"

"Yes." Qin Ji replied, "According to the report given by Lingyan, the Old Fulun Chamber of Commerce apparently conducts trade in Daxia and provides convenience for merchants from all over Daxia. But in fact, Lao Fulun The internal responsibility of the Lun Chamber of Commerce is to provide material support and even some weapon support for the local Holy Bishop believers. While winning over people’s hearts, it is also cultivating forces loyal to itself.”

"Do they have any other business?"

"Of course, the Old Fren Chamber of Commerce is also responsible for providing information related to our country's business and domestic political situation. For example, if we ordered a large number of shoes for marching from some merchants today, then they would send such Passing intelligence to foreign countries. Some organizations can judge through this that we may have military actions in the near future.”

"In addition, I asked Lingyan to check. The so-called president of this chamber of commerce is actually a small fish and shrimp standing on the table. The boss behind him is some of the holy bishop countries around us. The most interesting thing is , I found that our neighbors are not the ultimate behind-the-scenes masterminds, behind them, there are still people standing behind the scenes."

"A considerable part of the money earned by the Old Fren Chamber of Commerce went into the pockets of the church. Moreover, the chamber of commerce itself did not abide by the rules. They have always concealed their revenue, and a considerable amount of taxes were taken by them. What was concealed and not paid. Preliminary statistics show that the amount of taxes they owe is huge, so much that it is more than enough for His Majesty's servants to build a new palace."

In fact, when Lingyan explained the situation to Qin Ji at the beginning, Qin Ji felt that the actions of these guys were very familiar.

In my own world, such operations are not rare.In Daxia, it is even more covert to use the chamber of commerce to collect intelligence and secretly organize activities of believers. Foreign exchanges are increasingly open.

Such a chamber of commerce, just like this, is lurking in Tai'an City in Daxia, like a time bomb installed near the heart.

When Qin Ji seized the Old Fulun Chamber of Commerce, the information collected from it was completely ironclad.So much so that if he really showed it to the president of the Old Fren Chamber of Commerce, he might not be able to find any reason to justify himself.

It has to be said that this guild leader is indeed capable. Facing the intimidation and threats from the Grayscale Office, he did not lose his nerve, but tried to deal with the Grayscale Office, and planned to use his identity to negotiate terms with the Grayscale Office. .

But it's a pity that if it's other departments, there is a high probability that they still have scruples about him.But not at the Gray Scale, this department is basically the emperor's (or Taiwei?) own violent department, tell him a hammer condition, and directly complete a set of memory recovery techniques, which finally made the businessman scream again and again, and he could only explain everything fact.

Obviously, this time, the Scale Guard has used its advantages to the extreme—every country has more or less dark sides, and it is precisely because of this dark side that people who are suitable for these unscrupulous jobs are needed to be responsible.As for Gray Scale, the idea of ​​"doing dirty work" is very solidly implemented.

"I really know how to play..."

Xia Yuxiao said with a sneer.

The Old Fren Chamber of Commerce had sent people there to watch it all the time. Under her supervision, I thought that this Chamber of Commerce would not dare to do too much, but I didn't expect that these guys were not bad from the beginning. Kind, and has a very clear mission goal.

"Let the Gray Scale place save some air for these people, these people are still useful."

Xia Yuxiao kept these people in order to increase her bargaining chips. Of course, the Old Flon Chamber of Commerce was not good, but the layout of the Old Flon Chamber of Commerce across the country was achieved by some foreign forces at a high price.The cost of the Chamber of Commerce in Tai'an City alone was astonishing.

Those guys don't want to see the chamber of commerce go bankrupt so easily, they will find a way to get these people out, especially the church - they managed to set up such a relatively hidden network of preaching and spying , now that the chamber of commerce is gone, at least the people are still there.As long as these people are there and have experience, they can continue to reproduce this model in the future.

Therefore, Xia Yuxiao now wants to use these as one of her bargaining chips. Although this chip may not be very large, one more card is better than one less.

Chapter 78 There is always someone waiting for you at home

When Qin Ji returned to his Chunning Palace, he happened to see Lingyan cleaning the room in his bedroom.

Although Qin Ji originally had a dedicated servant to clean the room, sometimes Lingyan would also clean the room along the way.For Qin Ji, Lingyan's cleaning is the most comfortable thing for him, because she is very clear about her living habits, and the arrangement of many things is very satisfactory.

But... This kind of cleaning can sometimes give people a little visual impact.

Like now.

Qin Ji stared dumbfounded at Lingyan easily picking up the wooden desk in the house.

The book case is not so much used for office work as it is used to show the luxury of the royal family.The entire book case is two meters long and is carved from a single piece of wood. The bottom follows the shape of the natural tree roots to carve patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, and auspicious clouds.

It stands to reason that it is not uncommon to carry a table. Some tables are not particularly heavy, so it doesn't matter if they are carried.

But the most outrageous thing is that the desk in Qinji House is made of "sinking iron wood", which is a tree that grows in a foreign country. Its wood is extremely thick, hard, dense and firm, and its color presents a unique color. reddish brown.How heavy is this thing?

If you throw it in the water, it will sink to the bottom just like a stone.

Such a large heavy iron wooden desk, the weight of which in Qin Ji's original world basically had to be transported with a crane or forklift, but now, Lingyan directly carried it on her back and carried it over.

"What are you doing?" Qin Ji asked who was shocked by the scene in front of him.

"Oh, young master, didn't you say that the location of this bookcase is in the way? Today, after I finished my work, I thought I would move anyway, so I might as well move it now."

Lingyan said, and walked forward, the heavy desk on her back immediately made Qin Ji dare not move forward - this weight, what if Lingyan turned around without paying attention, and touched her , I feel like I'm going to be blown off my head by her...

Of course, this is just Qin Ji's own thoughts. In fact, Qin Ji is not such a fragile person.

"All right, all right, just put it there. You are my bodyguard, why are you acting as if you were hired by me as a coolie." He pointed to the place where the desk was placed, and then said.

After putting away the desk, Qin Ji signaled Lingyan to sit beside her, and then asked, "Your Majesty already knew about the chamber of commerce. Although His Majesty didn't say anything, she naturally hoped that Huilin would continue to investigate thoroughly. of."

"I see, then I will continue to investigate..."

"No, it is His Majesty's intention that you continue to investigate thoroughly. My suggestion is, don't continue to investigate."

"Why?" Lingyan asked curiously.

She didn't question Qin Ji, but she was a little curious about Qin Ji's idea, and she also wanted to know why Qin Ji was unwilling to investigate thoroughly.

"Lingyan, if we investigate the matter thoroughly now, at most we can only find the real mastermind behind this incident. From my judgment, in the end, it is basically the work of the Holy Bishop Church. "

"Now, we need to teach these lines. The current church has not been officially investigated by us yet, let alone stimulated by us. Most of them already know these things about the Old Fren Chamber of Commerce. Next, they will become extremely vigilant. If we investigate thoroughly, the church will have already destroyed many other evidences against him before we finish the investigation."

"The Old Fren Chamber of Commerce is just the tip of the iceberg of what the church is doing in Daxia. We can't start to scare the snake just because of the tip of the iceberg. Otherwise, once they become alert and temporarily withdraw from Daxia, there will be no sufficient direct evidence. We It will be a disadvantage in dealing with the church in the future. What I want is the opportunity to directly give us a legitimate reason to impose severe restrictions on the church. So, it is not yet possible to stimulate them."

To put it bluntly, this is to put a long line to catch big fish.

"Then I'll interrogate first, and if I find something out of the interrogation, I don't want to announce it to the public."

"Smart, you already know a little bit what you should do. But this method is not appropriate, because I suspect that there have been officials in Daxia colluding with those believers of the Holy Bishop. I believe that the scale guards at the gray scale Loyalty, they are all talents trained by you and selected by me. But the Grayscale Office is not completely closed and does not communicate with the outside world, so there is still a risk of leaking information."

"So, the safest way is not to interrogate. Anyway, the person is already in your hands. If you want to interrogate, you can interrogate anytime."

Qin Ji patiently explained to her.

Lingyan is indeed not very talented in this area, so what Qin Ji gave her was the commander of Huilin Department, not other official positions-because most official positions require sophistication and intrigue, Lingyan is not good at this, She is more only good at intrigue in the physical sense.

But Qin Ji still hoped that she could learn a little more, at least not to suffer because of her failure in this aspect in the future.

Qin Ji is very attentive to her training. Lingyan often resists on the surface, but in fact she is really trying to understand and learn with her heart. It's just that she may not be good at this aspect and learns slowly.

"I see, master. So, master, what's the next task?"

Lingyan was already used to Qin Ji's orders, so even if she became the sole commander now, she would still ask him for his opinion.

"There is a task. His Majesty is now preparing to implement a series of policies, and some officials in the country are trying to prevent the implementation of these policies. The people on this list are all officials who resist His Majesty's policies. Send people to stare at them, and Find the handle on each of them as much as possible-after completing these tasks, I can leave the rest to me."

"Yes."

As Lingyan said, she moved her body quietly, bringing herself closer to Qin Ji.

Qin Ji was focused on the list, and didn't notice Lingyan's actions. She slowly approached her young master, and then leaned gently on his shoulder.
