Xuande

Chapter 105 Zhang Rang, it's up to you!
Liu Hong didn't trust the scholars, and didn't trust the mouths of the scholars, so he simply let the eunuchs form an organization.

This organization can be specially responsible for monitoring the scholars, inquiring about the whereabouts of the scholars, the content of the conversations, the contents of the plots, etc., and spying on everything, spreading a large amount of manpower to the people, and organizing it into an extremely extensive intelligence network.

The poor political level of eunuchs mainly refers to the low level of knowledge reserve, poor level of administrative work, and poor administrative ability, but not doing administrative work does not mean that they cannot engage in politics, and politics is not simply administration.

They can't do good things, they can do bad things.

They can use this monitoring system to find criminals who slander the king and talk about treason, and then deal with them directly by bypassing the court's judicial department.

The organization suggested by Liu Bei only listens to the emperor's orders and is directly responsible to the emperor.

It has an independent judicial department that bypasses the judicial department of the imperial court, and bypasses the Sili captain, and can independently enforce the law and judge without reason.

Anyone who threatens Liu Hong and is detrimental to Liu Hong can be directly arrested or even executed without any obstruction.

Once this department is established and in operation, Liu Hong will be equivalent to having an extra pair of clairvoyant eyes and a pair of downwind ears, so that he will be able to see all directions and listen to all directions without being deceived again.

More importantly, all the leadership positions in this department can be held by eunuchs, and they can handle affairs without the participation of scholars. It can definitely become the sharpest knife in Liu Hong's hand.

Liu Hong can use this professional department to strongly deter the ministers of the world, so that the ministers of the world must carefully weigh what they want to do.

In this way, scholars must be cautious and dare not mess around.

Liu Bei believed that the reason why Liu Hong was at a disadvantage in the previous struggles was mainly due to his lack of information acquisition, so he had a lot of power, but he couldn't use it to the right place.

Liu Bei also gave Liu Hong an analogy, saying that if a strong man lifts a piece of wood, he must choose the middle position of the wood and keep the two ends balanced, which saves the most effort. If he chooses any other place, it will consume more strength. , will be more tiring.

So having accurate information is very important.

After hearing this, Liu Hong was very satisfied and agreed very much. He felt that it was indeed necessary for him to set up a brand new department without the participation of scholars, who could serve him wholeheartedly and provide him with accurate intelligence services.

If he only looked at the world from the scholars' melodies, he might not know why until the time of the country's subjugation.

Just like this time, if Liu Bei was not a clan member of the Han Dynasty and his heart was towards the royal family, he would not have known the secrets of so many schools, and he had successfully used the contradiction between the ancient literature school and the modern literature school to maximize his own interests. change.

Intelligence really matters!
Following Liu Bei's explanation, Liu Hong showed great interest in this new department. He happened to have a team of eunuchs who were very good at doing bad things and had enough numbers.

And the person in charge doesn't even have to think about it, just decide directly.

Zhang Rang!It's up to you!
So Zhang Rang was appointed by Liu Hong as the controller of this new department with a confused face, and was responsible for building this department from scratch that directly followed the emperor's orders.

With a swipe of his pen, Liu Hong gave this department extrajudicial law enforcement powers and the power to set up separate prisons.

When it came time to name this organization, Liu Hong hesitated a little, thinking about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

His favorite place to go is called West Garden. West Garden can provide him with pleasant relaxation, and it can also provide him with money as a place to sell officials and nobles. He is very happy.

So the name of this new institution is Dongyuan.

Wouldn't it be nice to have one east and one west, one to earn money and relax for him, and the other to provide him with intelligence and security?
Zhang Rang became the first person in charge of the East Garden. Liu Hong asked him to build the shelf of the East Garden within three months and put it into action. He began to provide him with the latest trends and private conversations of the scholars. He wanted to To know all.

He wants to make this department pervasive and fully active within the entire Han territory.

And because Zhang Rang was really unprepared for this aspect, Liu Hong and Liu Bei discussed it, and simply asked Liu Bei to be Zhang Rang's secret deputy to assist him in forming the East Garden.

"You came up with the idea. Now that Zhang Rang is at a loss, you have to help, don't you?"

Liu Hong looked at Liu Bei with a smile.

Liu Bei did not expect this.

"Your Majesty, I still have my job..."

"It won't waste much time. Besides, you describe the Dongyuan so powerfully. I can't help but want to try whether the Dongyuan really has such a big effect."

Liu Hong patted Liu Bei on the shoulder: "Those who are capable will do more, Xuande, you are one of the few talents in the clan! Work hard, and in the future, I will entrust you with more important tasks."

The high hats are all put on, the big cakes are also painted, and there is no way not to help out, so Liu Bei can only accept this errand.

Moreover, the big cakes that Liu Hong painted are usually real big cakes. On this issue, Liu Hong is not ambiguous.

This matter is not difficult to say, but it is easy to say. There are many people engaged in intelligence these days, but there are really not many professional intelligence organizations, and everything is in the initial stage.

An entire intelligence organization is obviously a bureau for reducing dimensionality and attacking individual intelligence personnel. Using this organization, it may be possible to do some unexpected things.

So Liu Bei didn't plan to retreat.

The establishment of the new order of the dynasty requires the complete collapse of the old order. Now that everyone is stepping on the gas pedal, Liu Bei feels that it is necessary for him to participate.

On the way back, Zhang Rang had to argue with Liu Bei again, saying that Liu Bei had nothing to do, and insisted on posing these problems to him. When the East Garden was established, it would not have such a good effect. Let’s see if Liu Hong will find it. his trouble.

Liu Bei stopped immediately and looked at Zhang Rang angrily.

"When the power is in front of you, do you still dislike this one? You can directly arrest people, interrogate people and kill people without going through court justice. Being armed is equivalent to directly bypassing Tingwei and Sili Xiaowei, and establishing a Tingwei Jiasi How much authority does Li Xiaowei complex have? How much trust? You don’t understand this?”

Zhang Rang was stunned for a while, then suddenly gasped.

"Really?"

"Didn't you understand just now?"

"You guys spoke too fast, I... didn't react..."

"All right……"

Liu Bei shook his head speechlessly.

No wonder you are forced to commit suicide by diving in the end, this level is really worrying.

But now that we are a partner, what needs to be explained has to be explained clearly, so that this guy can really pay attention to it, and put real experts in it, don't stuff all rotten sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs in it, it's a privileged department. .

"What does Lieutenant Ting do? He is a high-ranking official of the Jiuqing who specializes in hearing cases across the country. What does Lieutenant Sili do? Crouching tiger! He has [-] Zhongdu officials and apprentices who can legally walk in the capital Armed! Tingwei plus Sili Xiaowei, it means that the senior officials of Jiuqing can lead the troops to run wild in Luoyang!"

When Zhang Rang heard this, his eyes widened.

"Hiss—that's true!"

"Of course, otherwise, why do you think His Majesty is so moved? Why should I suggest that this matter be handed over to the eunuch? Because only you can do it so that His Majesty can rest assured!"

Liu Bei sighed, and said helplessly: "If the Shang Shuling is gone, it will be gone. It's no big deal. Once Dong Yuan gains momentum, what is the Shang Shuling? As long as there is a reason, if you say arrest him, arrest him. No one can stop him. Put it in your own prison, how to interrogate how to interrogate, kill as you want, understand?"
