A few days later.
Xianyang City.
Xuanzheng Hall.
At this moment, Lai Junchen was standing in front of Daji, telling her about the current situation in Hangu Pass.
Lu Wenzhao and others had already rushed back to Xianyang and told him the news that the emperor had woken up.
After Daji knew that Ying Yuan was safe and sound, she felt relieved and subconsciously said, "God bless our Great Qin."
Lai Junchen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, now that His Majesty has awakened, you should be relieved."
Daji nodded and said, "You, the Jinyiwei, have made an invaluable contribution this time. The Qin Dynasty will not forget you. As for those meritorious officials, they must be rewarded handsomely."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I have already made the arrangements." Lai Junchen responded.
Daji said contentedly, "I am very confident in your work."
After a pause, she remembered something and said with a smile, "I heard that you handed over half of the Jinyiwei files to the East Factory?"
Although the Dongchang and Jinyiwei are two organizations of the same nature, their specific division of labor is still somewhat different.
The intelligence gained is naturally different.
The information that the Embroidered Uniform Guard has may not be available to the Eastern Depot.
This time, they handed over half of the files, which was enough to make up for the shortcomings of the East Factory in some aspects.
Lai Junchen had nothing to hide about this matter, and he was not afraid of being embarrassed, so he simply spoke frankly:
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the Empress. This time, I was tricked by Wei Zhongxian."
It is normal for ministers to have private fights.
Generally speaking, it cannot be discussed openly.
But since Daji asked, Lai Junchen no longer had many concerns.
She chuckled and said, "My Lord, suffering a loss is a blessing. You Jinyiwei have completed such a great mission. This palace and His Majesty will not treat you unfairly."
Lai Junchen bowed and said, "Then I would like to thank Your Majesty and Your Majesty first."
Daji smiled and said, "Go and get busy. There are still many matters in the court waiting for you, the commander of the Jinyiwei, to handle."
After he leaves.
Daji then asked Hu Ximei, who was beside her, "What is the relationship between Ji Gang, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, and Lai Junchen?"
The latter responded: "It can't be said to be good, but it can't be said to be bad either."
Every day, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot would send a large amount of intelligence.
Most of them are related to civil and military officials.
Daji has very little time to handle government affairs every day, so how could she have time to see that?
So this task was given to Hu Ximei.
And she also got a general understanding of the current situation of all officials from that information.
Daji nodded and said, "Lai Junchen has been concurrently serving as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, so I'm afraid he's a little overwhelmed.
When the war is over, I will petition Your Majesty to confer a title on him and let him continue to be in charge of the Ministry of Justice.
As for the Jinyiwei... I think Ji Gang is a good candidate."
The reason why Daji didn't care about the dispute between the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard was because the East Factory was indeed not as powerful as the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
It is also possible to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the Jinyiwei.
After all, the Ministry of Justice is behind the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Once these two organizations unite, I am afraid that the Eastern Depot will not be their match.
In her eyes, the reason why Ying Yuan established the Jinyiwei was to contain the Dongchang.
But now, the East Factory is being suppressed!
This was not the result she or the court wanted.
Just after Daji made her decision, Cao Cao rushed to the Xuanzheng Hall.
He was holding a few pieces of paper in his hands.
There were some words densely written on the paper.
Seeing this, Daji thought that there was some urgent military information coming from the front, so she asked, "What is it that makes you, the King of Wei, so anxious?"
Cao Cao placed the papers on the table and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, there was a debate held by young scholars in Shandong Province.
This article was considered by all the scholars in Shandong Province to be an article that could save the country. I have read the above strategy and am amazed by it.
Daji was a little surprised. The fact that this article was recognized by Cao Cao showed that it was indeed worth reading.
She picked up the papers and began to read them, and was surprised to find a line of title that was very eye-catching: "Dividing the State of Jin into Three Parts and Eating It Away."
Just from the title, you can tell how profound the content of this article is.
However, whether it is just a facade or has real substance, Daji will know after seeing it.
She looked at it very seriously.
About half an hour later, she slowly put the papers down and asked seriously, "Where is this person named Zhuge Liang now?"
Cao Cao clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have already made inquiries. This person lives in Langya County, Shandong Province, in a place called Wolonggang."
“This person has great talent.”
Although Daji didn't know much about military affairs, she could easily see from this article that this man named Zhuge Liang had the talent to plan for the country.
“How many people have seen this article?”
Cao Cao said frankly: "When this article was published, it was praised by many scholars and writers. Now, this person has become famous in Shandong Province.
Because he lived in Wolonggang, he was also called Zhuge Wolong by the locals. I am afraid that many people have seen this article.
Hearing this, Daji couldn't help but frown, "How can such a national policy be easily revealed to others? If the Jin State knew about it..."
Cao Cao said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although this article is well written, it is full of fantasy and is full of loopholes.
