Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 533 Secret Preparations
Su Chen submitted the secret spy department's plan to Han Xizai, who was appreciated and recognized.

"Unexpectedly, Su Chen, you only read some sage books every day, but you can be proficient in the design of this secret spy. This is something that only a counselor can be proficient in. It seems that your talents are far more than writing poems and investigating things. In terms of tactics, There is also potential, so the old man can rest assured."

Han Xizai sighed with emotion, he had always been worried that Su Chen was too straightforward and upright, and was not suitable for life in the officialdom. After all, the people here were too black-bellied, and the city was extremely deep.

But now, looking at the secret spy department designed by Su Chen, it is so thoughtful, which shows the unique insights into human nature and intelligence. This kind of person is good at flexibility, even in the big dye vat of the imperial court, he can still protect himself wisely and survive.

"Master Han, what do you think?"

Han Xizai nodded and said, "No problem. I've selected a few master guards, who have been trained by my Han family over the years. They are all second-rate swordsmen, suitable for the operation team, for you to send and use. The Yamen of the secret spy department also needs to be established. In this matter, I will allocate some manpower to you to help, even if the six offices are established, you will be responsible for training and explaining their functions."

"Okay, then I will speed up!"

Han Xizai said again: "These days, brothers Gao Yue and Gao Yuan will come to you. The matters concerning the Tiangong Institute, the government-owned enterprises, and the internal treasury are about to be implemented. You can help them arrange them. Once they are in normal operation, our layout It’s done, properly attract people from the new party to join in this reform to enrich the country and strengthen the people, and completely squeeze out the Song party, these black apples.”

Su Chen didn't say much. The literati faction began to prevail in the Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty developed to its peak and entered the Ming Dynasty. It was basically a struggle between the literati group and the eunuch group.

The fighters of the literati group no longer ask about right and wrong, and have turned into a dispute of political opinions, a dispute of avenues, etc. The party is the same and the difference is also very destructive to the country.

However, this was unavoidable in the Tang and Song Dynasties, when the status of literati was extremely high. If foreign relatives and eunuchs were a tool of the emperor’s dictatorship, the literati group was a group that competed with the royal family for centralized power and autocratic monarchy. It's not as simple as it looks.

"Master Han, then I will go to work."

"Go, you've worked hard these days. Han Xizai reached out and patted Su Chen's shoulder lightly to show encouragement.

Su Chen smiled: "It's okay, if I can contribute to the court and the people of the Tang Kingdom, I'm also very happy to do it."

Han Xizai smiled slightly, admiring Su Chen very much, his level of trust had surpassed that of his own son.

If there was a choice between protecting Su Chen or his own son, then Han Xizai would have no hesitation in protecting Su Chen and sacrifice his own son.

Because he has several sons, but Su Chen only has one, which is the key to his political ambition and his fame in history. Han Xizai must always protect Su Chen and let him grow up, even push him away To the position of the powerful minister.

In the next few days, Su Chen became really busy. He took the officials from the household department to investigate wineries and official kilns, and brought the officials from the Ministry of Industry to select a site for the construction of Tiangongyuan.

.........

Jinling City, a hidden courtyard.

Yang Linger came here again to meet Zhao Kuohai, Lu Junsheng, Yan Pei and others.

Lu Junsheng said: "Princess, there is good news."

"What good news?" 13-year-old Yang Linger asked with a calm expression.

Lu Junsheng replied: "There is news from the Song Dynasty. At present, the Song Dynasty has changed its strategy. It is withdrawing from Shu and is about to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty. The army will come over. At that time, Song troops will appear north of the Yangtze River. Ships and pontoons are ready to use troops against Tang. It is said that Song Dynasty also sent envoys to Wuyue, and it is estimated that Wuyue Kingdom will also send troops!"

Yang Ling'er was obviously surprised when she heard the news for the first time.

"Da Song is going to use troops against Tang, so soon?"

Wu Chunxiu couldn't help but excitedly said: "Yes, princess, this time our opportunity has come. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Tang Dynasty and the refugees fleeing famine, we can take the opportunity to gather refugees, introduce them to the villages, distribute food, and wait for the uprising to quickly pull out Raise a lot of troops to cooperate with us in counterattacking Tang."

Yang Ling'er nodded, she didn't tell Su Chen her current identity, so she couldn't get advice from Su Chen.

It is up to her to think of countermeasures with her subordinates, and this is also the time to test her ability.

"The princess thinks, what should we do next?" Yan Pei, a scholar in white, asked.

Yang Ling'er thought for a moment, and said: "According to our established policy, we will first send people to stockpile food, and then prepare shelters in the mountains of different states and counties. Incompetence and weakness, the atrocities committed by the Song Army and the Yue Army, in this way, can be used by us to make the common people feel disappointed in the Tang court and hate the Song Army and the Yue Army.”

After listening to Yang Linger's speech, several people nodded one after another. They felt that the princess's consideration was comprehensive and feasible. It was indeed in line with the current situation and similar to what they thought.

Lu Junsheng said: "When today's discussion is over, I will send someone to send a message to let the Jiangzuo League halls all over the country gather food one after another, choose a good place to gather refugees, and it is best to store some weapons, in the name of fighting against rogues and bandits. Prevent local garrisons from interfering and encircling and suppressing."

"Princess, there is one more thing, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Yan Pei said.

"Please speak." Yang Ling'er said calmly.

Yan Pei pondered for a while, organized his words, and said: "I heard that your righteous brother Su Chen is making suggestions for the imperial court to change the decline of the Tang Dynasty, enrich the country and strengthen the army, and benefit the people. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households have followed He is engaged in business reforms, whether it will really improve the situation of the Tang State, this is not only our concern, but even General Lu and others overseas are also worried. After all, Jiang Zuo Sulang's name is too big now Every time he moves, it can attract attention, whether the princess has revealed his identity to him in advance, and asked him to help us make suggestions instead of helping the court."

Yang Ling'er knew about this matter, after all, Su Chen was really busy these days, even, Yang Ling'er went into Su Chen's study several times, and saw those planning documents and plans, so she knew it well.

She wanted to speak up several times, to confess her identity to her sworn brother Su Chen, but she didn't say it out.

Yang Ling'er was very worried. Once she said it, her feelings and relationship with her brother-in-law would never return to the past, or they would become rivals. This was something Yang Ling'er could not accept.

Therefore, Yang Ling'er planned to wait a little longer to increase her own power. When the Southern Tang Dynasty was battered by the Song army, Su Chen had no choice but to be completely disappointed with the court. At that time, she would reveal her identity to him. , another option.

Instead of assisting the hopeless Li Tang, it's better to conquer the world by herself and restore Yang Wu, even if she finally gave up the position of leader to Su Chen, she would be willing.

Yang Ling'er shook her head and said: "It's not yet time, you can rest assured, I have seen the proposals offered by righteous brother Su Chen for the imperial court, and I know it well, this time the Song army came in time, it will disrupt his plan, and will not give Li Tang Mrs. More chances to stand up. We can send people to inspect the military defense line along the river, draw a defense map, and secretly send it to Song Dynasty, so as to speed up Li Tang's retreat.

"In addition, if Qian Yue really sent troops, it would be better for them and the Tang army to lose out. What Huber said, we can reap the benefits of the fisherman, and let the Song army, Tang army, and Yue army fight more fiercely, which will be more beneficial to our restoration. When the time comes, those Tiangongyuan, government-owned enterprises, etc. founded by righteous brother Su Chen will turn into our strong support in the end."

Several people in the room nodded after listening to it, and thought it made sense, so they just listened to the arrangement for the time being.
