Nanya·Chief Secretary's Room.
The carriage drove straight in.
This is the kind of treatment only princesses receive. Others, let alone entering in a carriage, have to get off the car when they reach the door and enter on foot from the side door.
"Your Highness, please."
"Wu Ninghou, please." Entering Nanya, Ye Liuli is the princess, and Ye Hongyi is not her "uncle" at this time, but the first-class Wuninghou of Dazhou, the governor of Nanya, and the admiral of Nanya. He is a first-grade official and a first-grade grand master, a rare martial arts master in the royal family.
"Your Highness, please take a seat. This is the living room. There is a study room in it, which is where I usually work." Ye Hongyi led Ye Liuli into an exquisite living room and introduced.
"Liuli came to Nanya today to report. According to the rules, he will also be your subordinate from now on. How can any subordinate sit in charge?" Ye Liuli refused.
"Well, since His Highness said so, I won't force myself." Ye Hongyi nodded slightly. Ye Liuli didn't show too much force. This is a good start.
He ordered his servants to serve tea to Ye Liuli.
"Your Highness is coming to my Nanya. Do you have any department in mind that you want to go to?" After a brief greeting, Ye Hongyi asked before getting down to business.
"The Third Division of Nanya, the Staff Division and the Intelligence Division are not my specialty. The only one I can go to is the Jing'an Division." Ye Liuli also got straight to the point.
The Staff Department is responsible for the recruitment, training and evaluation of state guards in Dazhou. The Intelligence Department, as the name suggests is very simple, is responsible for external intelligence work, dispatch and infiltration of spies, etc. The Jing'an Department is responsible for counter-espionage and security work within Dazhou.
The Staff Department operates independently, but is divided into Nanya. In fact, it is under the dual leadership of the Ministry of War and Nanya. The work of the Intelligence Department is mainly training and dispatching. The Ministry of War also has a Military Intelligence Department, which is another independent intelligence agency, mainly for targeting Military affairs.
The Jing'an Department is responsible for counter-espionage and domestic security work.
Ye Liuli of the General Staff Department and Intelligence Department wanted to join, but Wu Ninghou did not dare to agree, let alone the emperor.
The Jing'an Department is a department directly under the Nanya Government, and its person in charge is the commander, who is of the third rank, and requires martial arts cultivation of at least the second rank of Wuzong or above.
The commander has two deputy commanders, several counselors, and a number of staff, such as school commanders, interpreters, etc.
There is a South Prison under the Jing'an Department, which is dedicated to holding serious criminals who endanger national security and imperial spies. It has independent powers of investigation, arrest and interrogation.
In addition, the Nanya Secret Camp is also affiliated with the Jing'an Division. It is an institution for Dazhou to train its own spies, and it mainly recruits orphans.
Many orphanages in Dazhou are actually industries secretly operated by the Jing'an Division.
The Jing'an Division has a large number of people, a large organizational structure, and its operations are very complex and sophisticated. I am afraid that even the current commander Yao Wenzhong does not know how many spies there are under the Jing'an Division and how much information is sent back to the Luojing headquarters every day.
All in all, the numbers are huge.
"Please come here, Lord Yao Wenzhong." Ye Hongyi ordered, and a young man wearing crimson clothes ran out quickly.
"Your Highness, please have tea."
Although they are all members of the royal family, they are only a few generations apart, and they have not interacted with each other for many years and do not know each other well. They can only cover up the awkward atmosphere by drinking tea.
Fortunately, Lord Yao, the commander of the Jing'an Department, was in Nanya today. He sent someone to invite him, and soon he saw a man wearing a purple official robe and a silver fish bag walking in.
He has a square face and gray temples. He looks a little calm and intimidating. He bends down and salutes: "The Lord Marquis summoned the officials to come here. Why?"
"I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Liuli!" Ye Hong pointed at Ye Liuli with one hand and said.
Yao Wenzhong turned around and saw Ye Liuli, who was dressed in men's uniform. A look of surprise flashed across his face, and he calmed down instantly. He just thought that Ye Liuli was Ye Hongyi's nephew, and she was disguised as a man. , I didn’t notice it for a while.
"Commander Yao Wenzhong from the Jing'an Division of the Nanya Government met with Her Royal Highness Princess Liuli!" Yao Wenzhong knelt down on his knees in a military manner.
"Master Yao, no courtesy." Ye Liuli nodded slightly and raised his hand.
"According to your Majesty's special decree, Her Royal Highness the Princess will serve in Nanya." After showing Yao Wenzhong a seat at the tea table, Ye Hongyi slowly said, "According to Her Majesty's wishes, she has chosen to go to your Jing'an Department, Mr. Yao. Take a look, are there any positions suitable for Her Royal Highness?"
Yao Wenzhong was shocked. Wasn't this a hot potato thrown into Jing'an Division? He instinctively wanted to refuse, but after hearing the four words "Your Majesty's special decree", he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
This is to get an "ancestor" back to support her. If she is still restless and randomly touches the work of the Jing'an Department, it will be even more troublesome.
Yao Wenzhong, who was not mentally prepared at all, didn't know how to reply.
"Back to the Marquis, there are currently some vacant positions in the Jing'an Division, but there are not many positions suitable for Her Royal Highness. I wonder what Her Royal Highness's thoughts are?" I don't know what to do, so the best way is to Kick the ball back.
At his position, he doesn't have to worry about being tricked. In fact, his position in Nanya is not something that anyone can shake at will.
Her Royal Highness the Princess has a distinguished status, but her position is too low. It is definitely not good. It is too high. She is a newcomer and knows nothing. If she gives orders blindly, will the Jing'an Department still be able to operate normally?
"Master Yao, I want to have the status of counselor. This is not too much." Ye Liuli saw it and came to Nanya. If he went out in advance, he was afraid that he would be boycotted. It is better to invite him directly now. " "Special Purpose", it's best to kill him directly.
"Then what kind of business does Her Royal Highness want to take care of?" Yao Wenzhong's heart sank. This was obviously not a whim, but something he had done his homework for a long time ago.
This is a sign of bad intentions, and it’s not easy to fool.
"Luo Jing." Ye Liuli said just two words.
Even Ye Hongyi, who was sitting in the first place, twitched his eyebrows and was startled. What did Princess Liuli want to do? Luo Jing was the department with the most complicated relationships in the Jing'an Division, a large number of people, and the most secrets involved. If this was If Ye Liuli is in charge of Luo Jing's business, wouldn't all these secrets be open to her?
Can the emperor agree?
"I only care about the business related to Xirong. I won't ask any other questions. Can Master Yao feel at ease?" Ye Liuli's next words suddenly surprised both Yao Wenzhong and Ye Hongyi.
But this is reasonable.
They all knew that Ye Liuli did not agree to the marriage with the Wolf Lord of Xirong at first, and he only compromised after being forced by Emperor Yongxi.
Now that she came to Nanya, she wanted to target Xirong. Most likely, she was going to Xirong's mission in Luojing.
She made it clear, and I'm here to make things happen!
At this level of the game, neither Ye Hongyi nor Yao Wenzhong can make the decision and must report it to the Emperor's Holy Judgment, otherwise no one will be able to bear the responsibility if trouble occurs.
The Wolf Lord of Xirong took advantage of the crisis and targeted Ye Liuli, and even thought that the old cow would eat the young grass. This was also a particularly shameful thing for the royal family.
In fact, Ye Hongyi didn't really support the peace with Xirong, but now that Nanchu suddenly rose up, if Xirong started to cause trouble in the northwest, then the Great Zhou Dynasty would be attacked from both sides. Normal people would choose to stabilize Xirong first, and then finish dealing with Nanchu. Deal with it again.
The problem is, no one knows where the war between Dazhou and Nanchu will go. Can it go back to the past?
No one can say now.
Maybe, the strategy of delaying marriage and marriage will become a reality.
Yao Wenzhong looked at Ye Hongyi and pursed his lips, meaning: Lord Marquis, you are the master of Nanya, could you please say something?
Ye Hongyi also had a headache. If he agreed to this matter, there would be chaos in Luojing City, and he would still be the one to take the blame.
Ye Liuli picked up the tea cup gracefully and took a sip. She came here with the emperor's "imperial edict" in mind. If these two people did not agree to her conditions, she would have no choice but to reveal her trump card.
"If it is just an ordinary case in Xirong, His Highness will just intervene. But if it involves sending a mission to Xirong, His Highness cannot make the decision without authorization. If His Highness agrees to this condition, His Highness' request will only require my decision and consent." Ye Hongyi is not the same. There was no one who could take the responsibility, otherwise, he would not have stayed in the position of Governor of Nanya for more than 20 years.
"Okay." Ye Liuli thought for a moment and nodded.
"That's it, Lord Yao, please take your Highness to Jing'an Division to get familiar with it." Ye Hongyi ignored Yao Wenzhong's resentful eyes and made up his mind.
From today onwards, Nanya is destined to be unstable.
However, Nanya has never been calm. Yao Wenzhong is much older than Ye Hongxiao, but he has much more white hair on his head.
