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

"Don't answer first, let them think about it."

She gave her attitude on this.

What Xia Yuxiao did was actually to give them a small shock.

In fact, there are still many people who have opinions on themselves in the court of Daxia until now.They are still trying to elevate themselves even today.

But now, such a thunderous method by Huilin is actually a way of killing chickens and monkeys.In this way, some people with ulterior motives will be more or less restrained.

Since it is deterrence, it is natural to leave them with as much panic as possible. Without affecting order, Xia Yuxiao decided to let them guess for a while longer. In this way, waiting for such emotions to ferment to Ultimate, let me explain the reason for the arrest.

After getting Xia Yuxiao's answer, Qin Ji naturally let go.

Xia Yuxiao was worried about how to find out those officials in the court who colluded with outsiders. Now that they were arrested this time, quite a few people directly showed their fox tails.

In the memorial, some people were persuading her not to make such a big move now, at least she should do it step by step, there is no rush.The suggestions of these people are actually correct to some extent, but the biggest problem is that the time now can't wait.

And there are still some people whose attitude is very intriguing.

For example, an official reported that the arrest was correct, but many of the so-called crimes of xxx itself are not guilty of this, so it is better to settle for the next best thing and ask him to pay a fine, etc...

After reading these memorials, Xia Yuxiao could roughly guess who colluded with these officials just by looking at their vocabulary.

"I'm really dereliction of duty. Both inside and outside the court have been made like this, but I didn't find out..."

Facing such chaos, Xia Yuxiao couldn't help sighing.

"Your Majesty, this is normal. You must know that the Holy Bishop has indeed not taken any obvious actions at present. Their activities have always been carried out in conjunction with our foreign exchange activities in Daxia. Most Western countries believe in Holy bishops, many of the behaviors of holy bishops seem to them to be very routine. This makes it difficult for us to distinguish whether this person is a real priest or an ordinary person."

Qin Ji said so.

These guys are too hidden, and everyone in the Great Xia court knows that most of these people from the west believe in the Holy Bishop. There are manifestations.

Quite a few foreigners are like this, which makes it very difficult to identify the real malicious people, because the workload from the initial screening is already very heavy.

Therefore, before the establishment of the Gray Scale Office, everyone did not manage these people much, which led to the Holy Bishop covering himself up with the help of these shadows.

Trying to dig out the nail planted by the Church of the Holy Bishop from the vast sea of ​​people is simply as difficult as heaven.

Moreover, before this, the Holy Bishop was still in the development stage in Daxia, and his activities were basically in the dark. He himself didn't consider appearing in people's field of vision for the time being, so naturally he couldn't find it.

"Perhaps we should strengthen the screening of foreign people in the future." Xia Yuxiao was thoughtful.

Now it seems that Daxia's screening of foreigners is really bad. Instead of repeated investigations and in-depth understanding in the later period, it is better to investigate clearly when they come in. This will also prevent accidents when they are all caught blind. .

When she was thinking about this, Qin Ji suddenly let out a laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Xia Yuxiao asked suspiciously.

"No, I just suddenly discovered that there is a different memorial among these uniform memorials, which is quite interesting. And the news here is good news."

"what news?"

Xia Yuxiao asked.

"A message from the envoys of the Hedia Empire. They handed in a document today, which clearly stated that if we choose to attack Samanjan to the west, they will not end."

This is good news. Considering the military strength of the Hedia Empire, Qin Ji naturally did not want a Hedia Empire to emerge when he attacked Samanjiang.

And now, Hedia's envoys bring news to ensure that their country will not end. Although this statement cannot be fully believed, it is at least enough to explain one problem-that is, for the Hedia Empire, they are still unwilling to make peace with them for the time being. If there is any conflict in Daxia, at least, they hope to temporarily stabilize the status quo with Daxia.

This was beyond Qin Ji's expectation, because after Qin Ji handed over his idea of ​​having talks with the Hedea Empire to their envoys, it didn't take long for the envoys to send a reply. value.

"If this Western Expedition does not include the Hedea Empire, from your point of view, how much do you think the chances of winning will be?"

In this regard, Xia Yuxiao still didn't know much, so she naturally asked the experts directly.

"Probably [-]%. I'm not sure how many countries the church can gather. Most countries don't dare to really fight Daxia to death, otherwise it will be of no benefit to them. As long as the church pulls in people who are not For a country of the size of the Weixi Empire and the Hedea Empire, our chances of winning are extremely high."

"What if a similar country joins in?"

"Then it may be necessary to consider provoking their internal strife."

Everyone "expedites" together, and they are all fighting. If a big country appears among these small countries, it must fight a lot and eat a lot.

Originally, a piece of cake was just that much, but when a big country joined in and directly took away most of the cake, others would naturally not be satisfied.In this way, it is easier to sow dissension than when the countries participating in the war are of equal strength.

Chapter 89 Home

What happened in Tai'an City quickly spread like a prairie fire.

No one expected that the actions organized by His Majesty and the Taiwei would be so swift and violent. In just one day, the prison in Tai'an City was already full of people waiting for interrogation.In addition to this, there are still a large number of people who have nowhere to settle, so they can only be placed in the old ice cellar.

Facts have proved that Lingyan's efficiency is far more efficient than Qin Ji imagined. Originally, Qin Ji's idea was that if Lingyan could not complete the arrest of all suspects within two days, then he would use the army to find a way Get involved and act together.But never expected that it only took two days and one night for the Gray Scale to completely resolve the battle.

And now, Lingyan has completed her task, and is going to go back to Chunning Palace to rest for a while—after two days and one night of busy work, she also needs a short rest. She just completed the interrogation of a few big fish today, and tomorrow she will interrogate the others. People are being interrogated, and now, it is almost midnight.

Dragging her exhausted body, she returned to the palace. The moment the imperial guards and dragon guards in the palace saw Lingyan, despite the inexplicable hostility on their faces, they let her go silently.

In the eyes of many people, Lingyan is still the remnant of the Demon Cult. Even if she is now the leader of the Huilin Department, this title will not change, it's just changed from the name on the surface to what she thinks in her heart.

Lingyan glanced at those forbidden soldiers, who were trembling all over, but Lingyan didn't continue to fight with them, but went straight to Chunning Palace.

Before knocking on the gate of Chunning Palace, her body softened, and she leaned against the wall next to the gate, panting slightly, recovering her spirit that was already a little bit unsupported.

Then, she put on her usual expression and knocked on the door.

The door opened, but it was not the imaginary monk next to King An, but that familiar face.

"came back?"

On an autumn night, it was a little chilly, Qin Ji was wearing a coat and looked at her with a smile.

Lingyan looked in surprise at Qin Ji who came to greet her in person, it seemed that the other party was not asleep either, the dark circles under his eyes and haggard face told everyone how tired he was.

Qin Ji has been reviewing official documents repeatedly since the morning, and even helped Xia Yuxiao deal with some courtiers' memorials. Huilin's action this time has aroused strong opposition from many people. They think that such connivance of Huilin People are being arrested everywhere. If it continues like this, the country will fail.

However, Qin Ji and Xia Yuxiao have only one attitude towards these people: the Huilin Office will only arrest those who are related to the Holy Bishop and foreign spies. door-to-door.

However, after all, there were too many memorials and official documents, and even Qin Ji helped with the work, but he was still so busy that he just returned home at this time.

"I'm back." Lingyan was very tired, but she always felt that Qin Ji was probably more tired than herself, "Master, what are you..."

"Oh, it's nothing, I just helped His Majesty correct some official documents and memorials, you know, if you move ahead, someone must help you resist the pressure."

Lingyan is very important, but Lingyan's actions also need someone's support. Xia Yuxiao is such a support. As the emperor, if Xia Yuxiao hadn't repeatedly refuted the protests of those ministers and envoys from various countries during the arrest at Huilin If not, maybe the Gray Scale Division will be stopped just after they catch some people.

That's why Xia Yuxiao said martial law to Qin Ji for three days - because if it takes too long, the situation below will be unstable.

"Then you now..."

"Go to sleep at night, get up early tomorrow, and prepare for the next step."

Qin Ji said so.

"Preparation for the next step?"

"The church's counterattack, the sabotage and attacks of those foreign spies in Daxia... all have to be considered. Of course, this is secondary. The most important thing now is that we have blinded each other's eyes. Now , and it’s time to consider war.”

Now that the matter has been done, it must be done quickly and ruthlessly. The reason for this large-scale arrest is that Qin Ji does not want Daxia to be stared at by a group of church eyeliners, and he does not want church members to hide in the Here, give Da Xia a heavy blow in the future.

Now that the arrest has been completed and the iron chain has been broken, he will truly perform his job as the Great Xia Taiwei.

Ready to go to war.

There are many reasons for war between countries, but in the final analysis, one thing must be paid attention to: that is to create reasons.

In this respect, Xia Yuxiao was actually more expert. She quickly drew up a plan, and after discussing it, the two of them agreed that it was feasible.

It wasn't until the plan was drawn up that Qin Ji returned to Chunning Palace to rest, and considering that Lingyan might come back soon, he deliberately waited for her to knock on the door.

"Master, are you ready to let Daxia officially go to war?" Lingyan asked.

"It's not that I asked Great Xia to go to war, but the situation does not allow further delay," Qin Ji waved his hand, and then continued, "In short, don't think about it so much, are you tired too? Let's rest first."

Lingyan looked at Qin Ji, and after a while, suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Qin Ji asked strangely.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the young master and I are quite embarrassed now."

"Aha, there is no way. After all, we all have jobs now. In fact, His Majesty's side is more..."

"Master."

"Ok?"

"Although my identity determines my position, I hope you can remember it if possible. I still don't mind if you mention other women...others in front of me."

Ling Yan said with a sly smile.

"Ah, sorry, I was just complaining."

After saying this, the two returned to the familiar room of Chunning Palace, and when Lingyan entered the room, she saw Qin Siyue sleeping soundly on Qin Ji's bed at first sight.

"She is asleep, so don't disturb her," Qin Ji sat on the bed, and then whispered, "She has been tossing around very late, and she is also very concerned about this war that may be staged in the future, so she mentioned it to me." Lots of advice...she's tired too."

"Well, I know. I'm going to bed too, good night, master."

"Good night, thank you for your hard work."

When she returned to the familiar environment, Lingyan's tense nerves finally relaxed. She walked into the back room, and then lay down on her own bed—her room was only one door away from Qin Ji's room. .

She was in no mood to wash up, and didn't even want to take off her clothes. She simply lay on the bed, listening to Qin Ji's footsteps walking outside in the master bedroom, and soon fell asleep.

today's order

Let's update the chapter first, mainly because there are many things to do today, so we have to deal with them first.Tomorrow, we will continue to make double changes.

Chapter 90 Speculating on the Divine Will

During the following period of time, the officials of Tai'an City were all in danger.

The terrifying sense of discipline and oppression displayed by Gray Scale this time surprised almost everyone who originally thought that this was just an "enhanced version of bureaucracy".

No matter in terms of operational efficiency or strong offensiveness, this special troop showed a completely different feeling from the ordinary imperial guards and the elite dragon guards.

It really makes people feel like their knife may be on your neck at any time.

Under the influence of this kind of feeling, some officials who have colluded with foreign forces even did not wait for the interrogation of the Gray Scale Department to find out why, they have already recruited all of their own affairs, which saves a lot of soul. strength.
