Emperor Li was sitting in his study, dealing with a mountain of memorials.
"His Majesty!"
Eunuch Lu walked lightly to his side.
"Um!"
Lihuang responded softly.
"Your Majesty, the Yunyan Sect was wiped out. The Zhenwu Division went to investigate the case. The Prince of Xin'an County was ambushed by the Fengqing Sect and the Xinyi Sect on his way back to the city."
"However, the Xinyi Sect switched sides midway and took refuge with the Zhenwu Division, and then killed the Fengqing Sect."
Lu Gonggong’s concise report.
"Is Prince Xin'an okay?" Emperor Li asked.
"Everything is well with Prince Xin'an, the Zhenwu Division has not taken action, and the Xinyi Sect has solved everything." Eunuch Lu replied.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Li raised his head and moved his somewhat stiff body.
"It's okay."
"By the way, has the person behind the assassination of Prince Xin'an been found?"
Eunuch Lu shook his head and said, "No, the assassin is in the Zhenwu Division, so I can't contact him, and I can't get any useful information."
"But the Zhenwu Division seems to have gotten some clues. Zhuge Zheng and I are investigating the matter."
When Qin Wei was assassinated, the imperial city naturally paid attention to it.
Although Emperor Li never asked, Eunuch Lu had already arranged for the Imperial City Department to investigate.
Unfortunately, the time was too short and no useful clues were obtained. The Imperial City Division's investigation made almost no progress.
"Zhuge corrects me!"
Emperor Li frowned slightly and picked up a memorial.
"The origin of Zhuge Zheng is the same as that of Yuwen Chengdu and Tie Youxia. It's like he appeared out of thin air."
"The same goes for Li Ru, the commander of Zhenwu Division."
Mr. Lu is fair.
Regarding the Zhenwu Division, the Imperial City Division has been keeping a close eye on it, and has checked almost everyone in the Zhenwu Division. However, the chess pieces appear out of thin air. No matter how powerful the Imperial City Division is, they can't find any information.
Emperor Li looked at the memorial, thoughtfully.
This memorial was sent by Qin Wei to request official positions for Zhuge Zhengwo, Hong Fei, Cui Shimao and others.
"How is this Zhuge Zheng's cultivation level?"
"It shouldn't be weak, but this person has never made a move. The Imperial City Division is currently unable to determine his specific cultivation level." Eunuch Lu replied.
Lihuang nodded slightly, and then wrote the word "has read" on the memorial, which was regarded as acknowledgment of Qin Wei's request.
"The Zhenwu Division still lacks two commanding officers. You can choose two suitable people from the Imperial City Division to fill them."
When the Zhenwu Division was first established, the official positions included one commander, two commanders, and four commanders.
At present, Qin Wei is the commander, Luo Jin and Zhuge Zhengwo are the commanders, Li Ru and Tie Shou are the commanders, and there are only two commanders left in the high-level official positions.
Lihuang agreed to Qin Wei's request, but he felt that it was inappropriate to let some unknown people take control of the Zhenwu Division, so he thought of asking Eunuch Lu to select two people from the Imperial City Division to join the Zhenwu Division.
As for why the decision was not made in the court, it was because there were too many officials involved in the court, and Emperor Li felt that it would be better for the current Zhenwu Division to be more pure.
"I think Wang An and Qi Lin are suitable for each other!" Lu Gong said.
Wang An, one of the four deputy admirals of the Imperial City Department, is a eunuch in the palace and is subordinate to the Chief of Ceremonies.
Qin Wei had contacted Wang An before when he went to the Imperial City Department to borrow files.
Qi Lin is an undercover agent of the Imperial City Division, responsible for secretly gathering information. He has a ninth-grade cultivation level and is one of the people with the highest cultivation level in the Imperial City Division.
Eunuch Lu did not choose people randomly. He also had his own considerations in choosing these two people.
Wang An is his confidant, and letting Wang An enter the Zhenwu Division is equivalent to him extending his hand into the Imperial City Division. It will be easier for him to understand the internal affairs of the dynasty in the future.
Of course, this was not his selfish intention. His cronies were Li Huang's cronies. He arranged for Wang An to enter the Zhenwu Division just to better understand the internal trends of the Zhenwu Division, and had no intention of interfering with the Zhenwu Division.
Qi Lin has high cultivation, strong strength, and outstanding work ability. Letting him join the Zhenwu Division can enhance the strength of the Zhenwu Division.
If Emperor Li hadn't valued the Zhenwu Division, Eunuch Lu would have let Qi Lin go without hesitation.
Emperor Li nodded and said, "You can arrange it."
With that said, he handed the memorial in his hand to Eunuch Lu, and then lowered his head to deal with the memorial on the desk again.
"Old slave, please resign!"
Eunuch Lu slowly exited the study with the memorial in his hands.
…
With the Yunyan Sect being brutally exterminated and the Fengqing Sect being destroyed, it was inevitable that another turmoil would arise in the city of Kyoto.
However, this incident did not cause much commotion. Although many people suspected that Zhenwu Si was responsible for the massacre of the Yunyan Sect, no one really took this matter against Zhenwu Si.
It is just a martial arts sect, and to those noble and important ministers, it is just an insignificant existence.
In contrast, they are more concerned about the situation in Dali Temple and Jiangyuan.
When Jiang Yuan was escorted back to Zhenwu Division, many people were already paying attention to the matter, but most people did not understand the specific situation, so they did not take any action.
After Qin Wei returned to the Zhenwu Division, he asked Li Ru to write a memorial to impeach Jiang Yuan and send it to the palace, along with the account books taken from the Yunyan Sect.
As Qin Wei's memorial entered the palace, the officials in the court realized that there were so many things happening behind the scenes.
At first, all the ministers thought it was impossible, but when faced with such detailed account books, they couldn't believe it.
When Lihuang received the memorial and impeachment, he was furious and ordered the three major yamen of the Supervisory Yuan, the Criminal Department, and the Zhenwu Division to investigate the bribery case in Dali Temple.
It stands to reason that a case like this involving important court officials should be heard by three departments, that is, the Supervisory Office, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple.
But because the case occurred inside Dali Temple and it was excavated by Zhenwu Si, Zhenwu Si was asked to replace Dali Temple.
Zhenwusi replaced Dali Temple, which seemed to be an arrangement made by chance, but it also proved that Zhenwusi was qualified to intervene in criminal cases.
On the other side, Tie Shou led the troops of the Zhenwu Division to seal off the Fengqing Sect's sect headquarters.
The situation of Fengqing Sect is similar to that of Yunyan Sect, not much money was left behind. Presumably the money also went into the pockets of some people, but the Zhenwu Division did not find any account books or anything like that in Fengqing Sect.
This can only be said that Jiang Yuan was unlucky to meet a Yunyan sect who liked to keep accounts, and he especially liked to keep accounts of Dali Temple.
The matter with the Fengqing Sect was relatively simple. After all, they were blatantly attacking Qin Wei. The Zhenwu Division didn't even need to investigate, and they could just be charged with harming the royal family.
On the contrary, the affairs of the Yunyan Sect were more troublesome. Tie Shou led people to investigate for several days, but did not get any useful clues.
It was as if the criminals appeared out of thin air, and no trace of them could be found in Kyoto.
They definitely didn't appear out of thin air, but someone had wiped out all traces of them.
This day.
Retreat to the hall of reflection.
"Meet His Highness the County King!"
After Qin Wei took his seat, more than a dozen people bowed and worshiped him.
Qin Wei raised his head and glanced at everyone in the hall with a calm gaze, and nodded in a good mood.
"Without courtesy, please take your seats!"
The commanders also know: Zhuge Zhengwo, Luo Jin.
Commanding officers: Li Ru, Tie Shou, Wang An, Qi Lin.
Qianhu: Yuwen Chengdu, Cheng Zhao.
Deputy Qianhu: Cui Shimao, Hong Fei.
The governor's envoys: Pang Yuan, Liang Xuan, Dai Xu, Shao Cheng.
In addition to these people in front of me, there are now more than 500 civil servants and more than 1,500 soldiers in the entire Zhenwu Division.
In two months, Zhenwu Division started from scratch and developed to what it is now, which is extremely difficult.
Everyone sat down, and Qin Wei's eyes stayed on Wang An and Qi Lin for a moment.
Naturally, Qin Wei would not refute Lihuang's arrangements. It was only natural for Lihuang to deploy personnel to the Zhenwu Division.
Luo Jin before, Wang An and Qi Lin now, these three are the same.
