Li Mingxun frowned slightly: "Why are so many dead?"

"This..." He Wenxi looked at Li Jundu with some embarrassment, as if he had a hidden secret. However, Lin Junhong spoke more conveniently than He Wenxi. He quickly answered for his immediate superior: "Back to the emperor, the traitor was hidden among the people and suddenly attacked. He first attacked with grenades, and then hid in shops and houses on both sides. There was an uproar inside and outside the Chaoyang Gate, causing riots, and many people were trampled to death. The guards of the King of England shot at the thieves and captured the thieves and killed them. There were also some casualties and injuries."

Lin Junhong said ingeniously, and Li Mingxun also heard the meaning of the words. Most of the casualties should be resisted by the British King Guard and accidentally injured during the capture and killing process. After all, the thief's patriarchs are the same as those of the people. The British King Guards are from the army, but they don't care about the many rules. Anyone who suspects threats will shoot without hesitation, which leads to a large number of casualties.

"It's all the troubled thieves, assassinating the king and killing the emperor. If there were no thieves and violence, how could the people suffer casualties?" The prince said, "After all he was young, he was afraid that the emperor would blame his brother for this matter. Li Mingxun was angry at the prince's words. He was all wise people, so why did he make the words clear again?

"What is the identity of the thief? Can you find out?" Li Mingxun asked again.

He Wenxi was speechless and replied helplessly: "Reported to the emperor, the Security Bureau conducted an inquiry and search, and it was basically determined that it was done by Zhu Ming's restorationists, but there is no conclusive evidence..."

"Then when are you going to give me evidence?" Li Mingxun asked.

"This..." He Wenxi had no way to answer. Although he was in charge of the Security Bureau, he had never interfered in the work in the Gyeonggi area. He first handed over the power to his deputy. Now this authority has fallen into Lin Junhong's hands. He is also very wronged when he is held accountable at this moment.

"Junhong, what about you? What did you find?" Li Mingxun looked at Lin Junhong.

Lin Junhong thought briefly and decided to temporarily conceal the incident of encountering the "tomboy" before the attack. He did this without aimlessly. The appearance of the tomboy was at most positive. This was indeed the act of Zhu Ming's restorationist, and it did not help much in solving the case and capturing the thief. He said it was just a limelight, but instead made He Wenxi, a close minister, lose face. It was really not worth the loss. More importantly, compared with the last Tongguan attack, the attack this time were the three princes of the emperor. Any judgment on this matter must be cautious and cautious.

"Your Majesty, I have found nothing. Chief He said that only Zhu Ming restored the country who has the courage to assassinate the king and kill the emperor in the capital. Such a big case must be investigated in detail before it can be concluded." Lin Junhong bowed his head.

However, the emperor's words made everyone feel incredible: "You are right, and this case is left to you. Let's join the Tongguan case. You have my gold medal, the imperial guards, garrisons, public security and security bureaus in the capital. Anyone you use will be obeyed by your arrangement."

This is a huge authority, which is equivalent to entrusting the important security of Gyeonggi and the royal family to Lin Junhong. This was beyond everyone's expectations, and He Wenxi lowered his head in disappointment.

"Who did it? I don't know today. Sooner or later, if such a big thing happened and such a big mess, it was in the capital again. I can't hide it anymore. How can I explain to the people? Do you have any questions?" Li Mingxun asked again.

Li Jundu was the first to stand up and said: "Father, my son thought it would be better to say that it was the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. The Northern Expedition is imminent, and this case can be announced to the world. The whole country has a common hatred of the enemy and has helped a lot of help in the great cause of the Northern Expedition."

"No!" Li Mingxun did not hesitate at all, directly rejected it, and asked in addition: "Prince, what do you think?"

Li Junhua thought for a while and said, "My son thinks that although there are rioters assassination, my brothers are not seriously injured. It is better to report to the truth and make the people at ease. In addition, Mr. Chen heard that the martial law in the capital city was in a large-scale inspection, which may cause harm to the people and abuse the people, which will make the people in the capital panic and will be useless to investigate the case. It is better to stop."

"If you stop, how can you do it? You have to search from door to door. Those who dare to hide the traitor will be punished together. If this is the case, the traitor will become a rat crossing the street and have nowhere to hide! You should ask your father to send troops into the city to investigate and solve it quickly." Li Jundu was not as kind as the prince. He had just been attacked and his wife and children were almost killed. If there was no result, he would not give up.

Li Junhua argued with reason: "Brother, what can I do with such a big fanfare? The officials below are killed. I don't know how many people it will affect. The empire is established, and how has this happened?"

"It's just that, this time we have to do it well. The prince saw it with his own eyes yesterday. The thief has many firearms and excellent guns. If there is no one in the city to help, how can it be done? There are still thieves who can sneak into the security department. What's wrong with the government of the capital? There is no distinction between black and white..."

Seeing that the brothers who were covering each other just now quarreling about this matter, Li Mingxun was also very upset. He didn't think that anyone was right or wrong. After all, the key point was not this, nor did he think that there was something wrong with the quarrel. The children have grown up and have experienced ups and downs. They have their own opinions and disagreements, but Li Mingxun is old and can't listen to the noise.

"Shut up!" Li Mingxun slapped the table, and both sons calmed down.

Looking at the two sons, Li Mingxun asked: "King Ying, you have so many requests, so why don't you give this errand to you, and you can check it out..."

"My son dare not." Li Jundu had not lost his mind yet, so he immediately bowed his head. He did not dare to touch the authority of the security of the capital, and he also knew that the emperor was just talking.

"Crown Prince, why don't you come?"

Li Junhua repeatedly claimed to be guilty and did not dare to respond. He was close to Lin Junhong. Since the king took over this authority, it almost belonged to him.

Seeing that a group of people couldn't grasp the key points, Li Mingxun simply stopped mentioning it and said casually: "I'm tired all night, so you guys should step back, go back and think about it carefully, and then talk about it after thinking about it, go."

After Li Mingxun was over the age of knowing destiny, his energy and spirit were not as good as before. He didn't sleep all night and went to rest. He left a few people to see each other, but he didn't know what it meant.

Princess Ying and her son were stayed overnight and lived in the queen's harem. Li Jundu returned to the palace by himself. He Wenxi felt that his days in front of the emperor were getting worse than those of him. In the past, he was extremely trusted by the emperor and had a lot of big and small things. Why did he move his authority down in recent days and have all been in the hands of King Lin Junhong of Cheng?

"Jun Hong, you send Chief He to this palace." Li Junhua left a sentence, obviously sending He Wenxi away, and going to the East Palace to discuss.

Lin Junhong and He Wenxi boarded the carriage and left the palace. He Wenxi played with the gold medal given to Lin Junhong by the emperor and sighed and said, "After all, he is the son of the old prime minister. He grew up in the palace with the prince. People around him say that the sky is gone, and the emperor will not give him this thing. Prince Cheng, please keep it well, for fear that you will not be able to take over the job of a humble position in a few days."

After holding up the gold medal, Lin Junhong joked: "Sir He, if you don't take charge of the security bureau, where are you going? Which small temple can accommodate you, the big Buddha."

He Wenxi shook his head: "At worst, you can just go back to the countryside and be idle in the wild cranes. Prince Cheng, say a very disrespectful word, if other ministers and children share my authority, I will be appointed to fight one, but you, Prince Cheng, are different. The old prime minister has the grace of living for my brothers, and you are the king of the clan, so I can't fight any more."

Lin Junhong smiled and said nothing: "Sir He is heartbroken. No wonder you have been in charge of the Security Bureau for many years and have made many achievements. You are also very prosperous in front of the old man. There is also an elder brother who is an official outside and a rank of officials. Now the case of assassination of the king and killing the emperor is considered a case of Tianzi No. 1, but you are only scolded but cannot let go of investigation. It is frustrating.

Chief He, it’s not my younger generation, Meng Lang. You have to be more open about this matter. Now it seems that I have given you less authority, but if I were not for me, there would be another person to do this."

He Wenxi heard this and felt more and more that Lin Junhong felt something was right and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Junhong said: "Sir He, is the Security Bureau still the same security bureau as before? Don't you think the authority of this institution is too scary with the restructuring of the Security Bureau?"

As the intelligence chief of the attendant's office, He Wenxi is very familiar with the history of the Security Bureau. He was originally an intelligence liaison office under the attendant's office. In the era of the community, he was responsible for the information security of Li Mingxun and important generals and administrative officials. With the development of the current situation, he has made continuous progress and gradually became a military intelligence agency independent of the navy and the army and directly affiliated with the head of state. However, with the establishment of the empire, the authority of the Security Bureau has expanded again.

In addition to being responsible for intelligence work for the main military struggle goals, the Security Bureau also serves as part of the Gyeonggi garrison and royal security. In the past two years, the Security Bureau has another important task, which is internal surveillance, which is also the reason why the public is increasingly afraid of this intelligence agency. For the imperial citizens, the Security Bureau is becoming more and more like the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei.

The Security Bureau is no longer the pure military intelligence agency that was originally. It has gradually become an important tool for the emperor to exert influence and control the empire. The Security Bureau's responsibility for internal surveillance has exceeded its external military intelligence mission, which is beyond its external military intelligence mission.

He Wenxi is very smart. As soon as Lin Junhong reminded him, he understood the truth. The Security Bureau needs to decentralize power, and a chief official must be responsible for both internal and external factors. He Wenxi can only choose one of them. Of course, he has no independent choice, and the emperor has made a choice.

"Okay, kid, you dare to guess the emperor's thoughts. He is so brave." He Wenxi smiled and started fighting. He had decided to do a good job in intelligence work for the Northern Expedition, and do whatever he liked.

"My courage is all due to the old man's spoiling. How dare I use it for Chief He? If it means Mr. Bai's thoughts, you are still the one who has been with the old man for many years." Lin Junhong kept flattering, and He Wenxi waved his hand quickly.

He Wenxi said: "You kid, don't put a high hat on me. Just say something. Speaking of which, you and I are also grasshoppers on the same rope. If you can't do a good job, I will be scolded by the emperor."

"You should take care of it." Lin Junhong was also a little embarrassed, and even said, "Today, the imperial court answered correctly. When talking about how to explain to the court to the people, the prince and the King of Ying seem to be in line with the old man's mind. What is the old man's mind? Can Chief He answer questions for his juniors?"

He Wenxi smiled and said, "You said just now that the Security Bureau is restructuring, from external intelligence to internal surveillance. What do you think is the biggest resistance to restructuring?"

"Cabinet?" Lin Junhong asked.

He Wenxi spread his hands and said, "What are the resistances in the cabinet? Cabinet members are all decided by the emperor. Can those who clean up the cabinet still use the security bureau? Just one imperial edict will be done."

"That's Congress!" Lin Junhong said.

He Wenxi nodded: "Yes, it's Congress. Members of the House of Assembly and the nobles of the Senate are reluctant to have a knife hanging on their heads at any time. The greater the authority of the Security Bureau, the colder the back of their necks. These people shouted "Long live the emperor, but in fact they controlled the power and interests they got. The way to fight against the emperor to strengthen the authority of the Security Bureau is to approve the budget. The emperor asked for military expenses in the Northern Expedition, so they said that they would increase revenue and reduce expenditures, and reduce other budgets. In the past two years, the most severe cases were the budget of the Security Bureau. The Senate refused to approve the budget. The House of Assembly also constantly requested the Security Bureau to disclose the finances and even exercise supervision power over the Security Bureau. The emperor was tireless about this. First, it was assassination of Tongguan and then the British King was assassinated. Two major cases were a good opportunity to shut up the crows."

Lin Junhong then realized that the emperor was not trying to explain to the people, but taking advantage of the issue to successfully complete the reform of the Security Bureau and monitor the whole country. Indeed, there was no better excuse than this when the Sect King was assassinated several times.

"Then, how should I explain this explanation?" Lin Junhong asked for advice.

He Wenxi was obviously confident, but he just didn't say it clearly. He patted Lin Junhong on the shoulder, opened the car door, and said, "How to do it in detail, please think about it with the prince. Just one principle: the bigger the mess, the better, the more mysterious the better."

After saying that, He Wenxi left with a smile, and Lin Junhong arrived at the East Palace and told Li Junhua that He Wenxi said. Li Junhua frowned and said, "The bigger the trouble, the better? If you make a big trouble, you still don't know how much trouble you will cause."

Seeing that the prince still had the kindness of a woman, Lin Junhong reminded: "Crown Prince, you are the crown prince and will inherit the throne in the future. The emperor has said more than once that his current status comes from the authority accumulated over the past few decades. After you ascended the throne, you have no prestige of the emperor and no enough opportunities for war to accumulate prestige. If you do not have powerful means and institutions, then your influence on the empire will be too small. If you want to achieve great things, how can you have no power? Do you want to be a void king and do nothing for your life?"

Li Junhua hesitated for a moment. Although he did not want to fight in the east and fight like Li Mingxun and establish great military achievements, he also wanted to succeed to the throne, show his strength and create great achievements in prosperity. However, only sufficient power can make dreams come true. When hesitated, Lin Junhong said: "No matter what the Security Bureau is, it can be covered with the cloak of the law. If there is no such powerful organization, all you can rely on is the army, which is even more terrifying."

"Okay, then how do you tell me how to characterize this matter?" Li Junhua interrupted Lin Junhong's words.
