Everyone worried about spies, am i the only one thinking this cant backfire, except for the strongest enemies he has? All administration is in the hands of fanatically loyal NPCs who audit and guard each other, as is the army. Only thing most lord-players will hear from their spies is "better give up when Shanhai comes for you, otherwise you are done for"
The Emperor looking at the front won't bat an eyelash, while the eneuchs from the side are teiring their hairs for solving the problems. And thats all of all right now.
