I am reciting the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the interstellar

Although Empress Tan Tai Zijun does not want Huo Yushen to continue to be the Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau, she needs him to command the army for her to defeat the Zerg!

It was indeed her real idea to let Huo Yushen be the commander-in-chief of the empire's fight against the Zerg army.

She knew how powerful Huo Yushen was, especially as a military commander, he had never lost a battle!

To put it bluntly, if Huo Yushen cannot lead them to defeat the Zerg, no one else in their Beichen Empire will be able to defeat them!

Then just wait for the destruction of your country and your race!

Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun smiled, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I am very pleased that you can give me your full support."

"Today's grand court meeting is the first grand court meeting since I ascended the throne. The effect is remarkable and I am very satisfied."

"That's all for now. Next, I will work with the secretaries of the Imperial Secretariat to prepare the imperial edict."

"Huo Shuai, you can also start making military plans."

She smiled and said something in the direction of Huo Yushen, and then glanced at "Tanlang" who was standing behind Huo Yushen's tall figure.

Xia Chujian felt even more uneasy.

She regretted not listening to Huo Yushen.

She really shouldn't have appeared here under the identity of Tan Lang just to watch the fun.

However, thinking about it again, her identity as a Tan Lang has been exposed, so it doesn’t matter whether she appears here or not.

The Empress already knows such a person.

Those nobles and high-ranking officials also knew such a person.

The elephant is already in the room; it is impossible to pretend that it does not exist.

Xia Chujian calmed down again and looked quietly at the empress on the throne.

The empress quickly withdrew her gaze, stood up as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the palace gate behind the Qinzheng Hall.

The main gate in front of the Qinzheng Hall is for ministers to pass through.

The big gate at the back connects to the inner palace and is for the emperor to pass through.

The Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun disappeared through the back door of the Qin Zheng Hall with her attendants and female officials.

The officials and nobles in the Qinzheng Hall left through the front door in twos and threes.

Xia Chujian didn't say anything, but followed Huo Yushen, Kang Shanxing and Meng Guanghui and quickly left the Qinzheng Hall.

After leaving the palace, Huo Yushen asked Kang Shanxing and Meng Guanghui to go first.

He took Xia Chujian with him, boarded a Special Security Bureau aircraft, and returned to the Special Security Bureau headquarters first.

After entering Huo Yushen's office, Huo Yushen immediately said, "The Empress may want you to take over as the next Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau. You must be mentally prepared."

It turned out that just now at the grand court meeting, Empress Tan Tai Zijun had been looking at Xia Chujian out of the corner of her eye, and Huo Yushen had already noticed it.

Xia Chujian's eyes widened: "What?! You want me to take over as the Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau?! Really?!"

Huo Yushen's mouth twitched, and he said, "If you really take over this position, your true identity will be lost."

"By then, it will be easy for them to connect you to the emperor's assassin..."

Xia Chujian narrowed his eyes and said, "Is it so troublesome to be the chief inspector of the Special Security Bureau?"

Huo Yushen said: "This is the person the emperor trusts the most. Do you think he needs the most rigorous background check?"

"Don't think you can get away with it with your human face mask."

"Oh, that very special ability of yours probably can't be kept anymore."

Xia Chujian's pupils suddenly shrank: "Ah?! That won't work!"

Huo Yushen said calmly: "So, you have to leave immediately."

"I am now signing the Special Security Bureau's Chief Inspector's Order, ordering you to go undercover in the Southern Cross and provide advance intelligence for our army to march to the Southern Cross."

This kind of thing is what Xia Chujian has been doing as the deputy captain of the Space Marine Column in the Fifth Interstellar Fleet.

The key is that in this way, she can completely get rid of the Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun and will not be dragged by her to become the Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau...

Huo Yushen also realized that the newly enthroned empress did not trust him very much.

However, the position of Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau would only be given to the person the emperor trusted the most.

Therefore, Huo Yushen also began to prepare a way out for himself.

While he was still the Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau, he immediately issued three Chief Inspector Orders.

1. Send the Abyss Gazers listed in the Special Security Bureau's secret department directory to secretly lurk in the Southern Cross to collect intelligence for the future formal declaration of war.

2. Destroy all personal information of the Special Security Bureau's "Abyss Gazer" Tan Lang. Tan Lang will go deep behind the Zerg enemy lines and cannot leave any trouble behind, lest the traitors who have surrendered to the Zerg get to know the situation.

3. Destroy all information related to the late Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan, so as to prevent it from being used as a handle to slander the late Emperor's reputation by those who hate him.

The first one was to keep it consistent with what the empress had just said at the grand court meeting, and no one could find fault with it.

The second one is the routine operation of the Special Security Bureau. If they want to send someone to lurk behind enemy lines during wartime, all the information of that person in the Special Security Bureau will be destroyed.

Of course, once the identity of Tan Lang is destroyed, another secret identity will be established, and all the treatment of Tan Lang will be transferred to it.

This operation is even more secretive.

There are so many new people joining the Special Security Bureau every day, and old people leaving, including retirement, resignation and execution. The only one who can understand all of this is the Special Security Bureau's mechanical intelligence.

And Huo Yushen happens to be a special talent in mechanical intelligence.

Therefore, even the royal family's mechanical intelligence could not distinguish the authenticity of the documents he processed.

Both of these items successfully passed the review of the Royal Mechanical Intelligence and were approved.

Only the third one was judged problematic by the royal mechanical intelligence. It was not rejected, but it was not approved either. Instead, it was sent to a higher level for manual review.

The only people who can review information that even the royal mechanical intelligence is unsure of are the secretaries of the royal secretariat who are most closely related to the emperor.

Now she is the empress, and female officials account for half of the royal secretariat. The remaining half are ordinary royal secretaries who were frustrated during the reign of the previous emperor, Tan Tai Hongyuan.

As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers, and this is as it should be.

These secretaries of the Royal Secretariat who were once frustrated are now highly valued by the Empress. Each of them is like chicken blood, working hard to help the Empress solve her problems.

They formed a competitive relationship with the female officials newly selected by the empress.

This is exactly the method the Empress uses to balance the secretaries of the Royal Secretariat.

Not only that, she also recruited a group of her own confidants to serve as secretaries in the Royal Secretariat. At the same time, she allowed the Queen Mother's confidants and people belonging to the four dukes to enter the Royal Secretariat and serve as attendant secretaries.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Because to have checks and balances, having only two parties is not enough.

Most people would choose three parties to achieve the purpose of checks and balances.

However, in Tan Tai Zi Jun's opinion, the so-called separation of powers is actually not enough for imperial power.

The triangle is the most stable structure only among polygons.

If we abandon the limitation of polygon, then the circle is actually the most stable structure.

Because the circle has the shortest border for the same area.

When a circle is squeezed by external force, the most even distribution of force can be achieved, thereby reducing the overall pressure and maintaining stability.

This theory was applied to her secretariat, that is, if the people inside belonged to more different forces, they would be able to achieve a circular effect of convergence and balance.

This is the only way to ensure that the imperial power in her hands will always be above all else and never be constrained.

To put it bluntly, this is a strategy to segment the underlying layer.

The more the lower classes were divided, the less likely they would be to unite and oppose her supreme imperial power.

Even the nobility were no exception.

Since ascending the throne, Empress Tan Tai Zijun has been ambitious and vowed to achieve what previous emperors have failed to do.

Not only does she want to kill all the invading Zerg, she also wants to take back the imperial power that is restricted by the constitutional monarchy, abolish the special status of the nobles, and make all the nobles no longer "share the country"!

In the Beichen Empire, only the royal family can enjoy privileges!

She actually didn't understand why the ancestors of the Tantai royal family came up with such a stupid idea.

Why should these noble families share the same privileges with the country? !

This world, after all, belongs to her, Tan Tai!

Not those nobles...

She doesn't want to share the world with the nobles!

However, she did not expect that, in this way, her royal secretariat would be like a sieve...

Excessive pursuit of extreme stability will result in extreme penetration.

As a result, the Chief Inspector Order just issued by the Special Security Bureau Chief Inspector Huo Yushen was soon known to the four dukes and the Queen Mother.

…

The Queen Mother's bedroom.

Queen Mother Li Feng'en listened to her personal maid talking about the Inspector General's Order and frowned, saying, "He wants to destroy all the information related to the late emperor... What is the purpose of this? Has the Inspector General ever done such a thing before?"

The personal maid said in embarrassment: "Empress Dowager, how can we know about this?"

Not only did they not know, even all the empresses and empress dowagers in history did not know.

Because the Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau is really only responsible to the emperor, and he doesn't even bother to pay attention to other people.

This style of a lone minister is what most suits the emperor's wishes.

…

The Four Dukes.

Grand Duke Li: "...The former Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau did not seem to have destroyed any matters related to the previous emperor, right?"

Grand Duke Quan: "...Is there anything else the late emperor said that we don't know about?"

Grand Duke Zong: "...Destroy it, that's fine. The death of the late emperor is suspicious."

Only the Grand Duke of the Su family, who was also the high priest Su Yanxing, suddenly thought of something. He fixed his eyes slightly and said to his assistant, "Send a message to His Majesty. Tell him that I want to see him, right now."

The high priest's assistant immediately came forward and reported the high priest's request.

But in the Royal Secretariat, the "extreme stability" not only led to extreme penetration, but also extreme procrastination.

The second update will be at 5:05 p.m.!
