At this time, in the Zichen Palace, Chu Junze was looking at the secret report in his hand, on the verge of becoming furious.

It turned out that according to the information collected by secret agents outside the palace, this group of Japanese people had arrived in the capital for almost a month.

Although their purpose of coming to Dazhao Kingdom has not been found out yet, the fact that they entered the palace to assassinate someone shows that they have great ambitions.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The chief eunuch Xi in front of the emperor said carefully, "The most urgent task now is to find their base in the capital."

Chu Junze snorted coldly, "Of course I know all this, do I need you to remind me? Pass on my order and order the Dali Temple Minister Zhan Ping to track down the whereabouts of the Japanese and make sure to get to the bottom of their conspiracy.

In addition, inform the generals guarding the border to strengthen border defense and not relax at all! "

"I obey your command." Eunuch Xi quickly responded and retreated.

Chu Junze rubbed his brows and thought to himself: The Japanese are so bold this time, they must have something to rely on. It seems that my Great Zhao Kingdom is going to have a turmoil.

Looking out the window, Chu Junze's eyes were cold and his heart was full of worry.

He didn't know whether this turmoil would have a huge impact on the Dazhao Kingdom, but he could make full preparations in advance.

After much deliberation, he decided to summon important officials in the court to discuss countermeasures.

At this moment, in the Qinzheng Hall, ministers expressed their opinions one after another. Some advocated peace talks, while others proposed sending elite troops to encircle and suppress the Japanese.

As everyone knows, the people of Japan are notoriously cruel and ruthless, so we should beat them until they are afraid. Peace talks are impossible!

Chu Junze listened quietly, occasionally interrupting to ask questions. After a heated discussion, he had made a decision in his mind.

“What you said has its merits, but I think that Japan must have some ulterior motive in its attack.

Our Great Zhao Kingdom must respond with a strong attitude, and at the same time secretly investigate its true purpose. "

Chu Junze paused, then continued: "I have decided to send secret guards deep into Japan to collect intelligence. In addition, we will strengthen the security of the capital to ensure the safety of the royal family and the people."

"Your Majesty is wise." All the ministers echoed in unison.

Chu Junze nodded slightly, "Let Song Aiqing investigate this matter." He glanced at everyone, "Remember, don't alert the enemy."

"We obey your order." The ministers knelt down and kowtowed.

After the ministers left the hall, Chu Junze turned to Eunuch Xi beside him and said, "Pass on my order to summon Weiguogong's son Shao Kang."

Soon, a young man entered the hall.

"Your Highness," Shao Kang saluted.

Chu Junze glanced at him and said straight to the point, "I heard that you have some dealings with some forces in Japan. Is this true?"

Shao Kang replied calmly, "Your Majesty, it is true. But I am only doing some ordinary business with them, nothing else."

"I don't care what connection you had with them before. From today on, you must completely sever ties with Japan." Chu Junze said firmly, "If I find out that you are still in contact with them, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I obey your command." Shao Kang responded quickly.

"Yes." Chu Junze nodded with satisfaction, "Do you know why I summoned you here?"

Shao Kang thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to help investigate the Japanese affairs?"

Chu Junze smiled and said, "As expected of the prince of Weiguo, you are quick to understand. I hope you can use your connections to provide the court with intelligence about Japan."

"I will do my best to live up to your majesty's trust." Shao Kang replied solemnly.

"Very good." Chu Junze looked at Shao Kang sharply, "I will send someone to secretly monitor you. If you have any abnormal behavior, I will never tolerate it."

Shao Kang's heart trembled, and he said hurriedly: "I understand."

Chu Junze nodded slightly, "You go. Remember, this is a matter of national security, and you must not take it lightly."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Shao Kang bowed and left the palace.

After leaving the palace, Shao Kahn's expression became serious.

He realized that he was now in a delicate situation, having to both break away from his ties with Japan and provide useful intelligence to the emperor.

So he decided to start with his own network and look for people who might understand the situation in Japan.

At the same time, one must be careful in dealing with the emperor's surveillance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles.

By the time Chu Junze had arranged everything, it was already past dinner time.

When he returned to Yaoguang Palace, he found that Qianqian was still awake. She was sitting there quietly reading a book and waiting for him.

Chu Junze couldn't help but feel touched. He quickly walked to Qianqian and gently stroked her hair.

"Why aren't you asleep yet? You must have been waiting for a long time." Chu Junze's voice was full of tenderness.

Su Qianqian raised her head with a smile on her face, "I know you are busy with political affairs, so you are not in a hurry to go to bed. And I also want to accompany you more."

Chu Junze took Qianqian's hand and sat down together. "You have worked so hard these days."

Su Qianqian leaned on Chu Junze's shoulder and said softly, "I don't feel tired at all to be with you. On the contrary, you have been busy with state affairs."

"Zi Yan, go and bring over the medicinal food I prepared for the emperor!" Su Qianqian continued.

Chu Junze held Qianqian's hand tightly, "You still care about me the most. I will take care of my body. As long as you are by my side, I will have endless motivation."

As she spoke, Zi Yan brought in the medicinal food.

Chu Junze felt warm in his heart as he smelled the fragrant medicinal food.

Watching him slowly eat the medicinal food, Su Qianqian asked distressedly: "Have you found out the identities of those assassins today?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Junze told her everything he had found out.

When Su Qianqian heard the word "Japan", she became angry instantly.

Although she came from the end of the world, as a Chinese, her anti-Japanese and patriotic blood was instantly awakened!

"Japan? How dare they send someone to assassinate you!" Su Qianqian gritted her teeth, her beautiful face full of anger.

Chu Junze put down the spoon, patted her hand gently, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I won't let them succeed. They are just a shameless little country, and now they dare to openly provoke me. It seems that it is time to teach them a lesson."

"I support you!" Su Qianqian looked at Chu Junze firmly, "No matter what decision you make, I will stand by your side. We must not let Japan's conspiracy succeed!"

Chu Junze nodded, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, "Tomorrow morning, I will announce this matter in front of all the ministers, and order a thorough investigation of all the activities of Japan in my Great Zhao Kingdom.

Humph, since they dare to challenge my majesty, they must pay the price!"
