Ming politicians

After becoming a civil servant, Qu Qingze fully realized the role of the dark thread. When he was in Jinyiwei, he always took it for granted and it was not a big deal. Plus, he was also in it and was in charge of one thing, so he somewhat ignored it, and even once He believes that what Jin Yiwei has done is shady.

Ningxia Wei's Jinyiwei dark line is a weak link. The last time Jiangning camp fought against the Mongolian Tartars, because Jinyiwei's dark line didn't have much information, it almost caused Jiangning camp to suffer a heavy loss. After learning from the pain, Qu Qingze decided to play Master Dong Chang to strengthen the border control The construction of Jinyiwei's dark line.

In fact, it is a matter involving money. The conditions in the border area are difficult, and there is not much guarantee for personal safety. Such a place has never been the focus of Jinyiwei's attention. In addition, the officers of the guards are very taboo to be watched. After a long time, Jinyiwei Some neglected this aspect, so that in the past few years, some sergeants in the guard had mutiny, and Jin Yiwei didn't know anything about it.

Qu Qingze suggested increasing the amount of money and strengthening the distribution of the dark lines of Jinyiwei at the border, so as to collect more information. This suggestion was exactly what Dong Chang wanted. In the past two years, the money received by the imperial court has increased. Although the expenses are still difficult, the Much better than before. Sure enough, Dong Chang's memorial was approved by the emperor.

The dark thread at the border quickly began to grow. Money can turn ghosts around. With more money, everything is easy to handle.

In fact, Qu Qingze has also thought about whether to develop his own intelligence system in Shaanxi. Su Tiancheng has very high requirements and is relatively strict with intelligence. Jinyiwei's dark line has its own flaws. I am not interested in information such as local economic conditions, personnel distribution, human geography, etc.But Su Tiancheng paid great attention to these aspects. After becoming a civil servant, Qu Qingze felt that this information was really important.

Su Tiancheng had given Qu Qingze a mission early on, and he might have to attack the guards in Shaanxi, including the guards in the border towns.Pay attention to collecting information in this area, and focus on the reaction of the guard officers. If there is any change, it must be reported immediately without any delay.

For several days in a row, the secret line of the Ningxia Guard station sent a lot of information about the actions of the guard officers, which made Qu Qingze feel worried.The commanders of the former central defenders in Ningxia and the commanders of the left and right central guards were all concentrated in Ningxia Wei. This is a very rare situation. able to concentrate at will.

The emperor agreed to abolish and merge the Shaanxi guards and the guards in the border towns in Shaanxi. At this time, the commander of the border guards.It's all put together, what does that mean.

In Qu Qingze's mind.A very bad idea popped up, but there was one more thing, he didn't quite understand, the imperial decree hadn't come down, the plan to integrate the guards hadn't come out yet, how did these commanders know the news.Could it be that someone in the court revealed the news to them.

Finally, a dark piece of information caught Qu Qingze's attention.

In the information, a middle-aged man was mentioned.It is said that he is a person from the capital city. The dark line estimates that this person is very likely to be an aide of an official in the capital city. This person is following the Ningxia guard commander Yu, and there are many occasions where the guard commanders gather. There is this middle-aged man figure.

Qu Qingze fought a cold war and felt cold all over. In the imperial court, there were quite a few officials who had great opinions on Su Tiancheng, and even wanted to put Su Tiancheng to death. If some officials in the imperial court secretly Colluding with the officers of the guard station in Shaanxi, including the officers of the frontier army, and taking the opportunity to make trouble, Su Tiancheng will fall into great passivity.

Su Tiancheng was still in the capital, so it was too late to send the information, if there was a delay, it might be a major event.

Qu Qingze made a decisive decision, asking the dark thread to do everything possible to catch this middle-aged man and bring him to Xianyang quickly. This move should not alarm anyone.

Jin Yiwei did these things easily, and let such a person disappear secretly. It was not a big deal. He used to do such things from time to time, especially secret lines, assassinations, assassinations and kidnappings. I don’t know how many things he did.

After arranging all the matters, Qu Qingze immediately arranged a secret line to send some important information to Su Tiancheng's mansion in the capital. This kind of information would be known to Su Tiancheng one day earlier, and arrangements could be made one day earlier. At the same time, Qu Qingze also wrote out his own arrangements and sent them to the capital together.

After Jin Yiwei secretly sent the letter to the mansion, Su Tian immediately became alert.

Every time he went to the capital, he hardly received any dark information. Generally speaking, when he came to the capital to meet the emperor or the cabinet ministers, all arrangements were made. In a short period of time, there would be no major incidents. But this time, the dark thread actually sent the information to the family. If it wasn't for a particularly important matter, such a situation would not have happened.

Su Tiancheng entered the study room, and he told Zhu Shenxin that no matter who came to visit, don't bother him, just said that he was not feeling well, and if there was anything to do, we would meet to discuss it another day.

When he opened the letter, Su Tiancheng's hands trembled a little. He thought of a certain possibility, but he still hoped that nothing major would happen. After all, the situation in Shaanxi had just stabilized.

Looking at the letter slowly, Su Tiancheng's face turned pale, and his body began to tremble slightly.

It was indeed what he was most worried about.

After reading the letter written by Qu Qingze, Su Tiancheng stood up. For such an important matter, he had to think of a good way to deal with it, otherwise there would be undue consequences, and his painstaking efforts might be ruined overnight.

After thinking for half an hour, Su Tiancheng made up his mind.

Sun Chengzong looked at the extremely serious Su Tiancheng, and felt very strange. Normally, the conditions he created for Su Tiancheng were already very good. Even if it was about the mutual market and the abolition of the guards, he would encounter some troubles, and it was Su Tiancheng himself. What can be overcome, after all, there is still a powerful Jiangning camp in Shaanxi, and no guard dares to disturb, let alone mutiny.

Su Tiancheng's request was also very strange, and he insisted on talking alone.

Sun Chengzong felt that something important was going on, so he took Su Tiancheng into the study.

After reading the materials brought by Su Tiancheng, Sun Chengzong's face also turned pale.

"Kun Yuan, why did this happen? What's going on? Did Qu Qingze make a mistake?"

"My lord, this junior thinks I can't make a mistake. I have analyzed it in detail, and I feel the seriousness of the gaffe. First of all, the court's discussion of the mutual market and the abolition of the guards in Shaanxi and the border guards has not been made public for the time being, and has not been passed. In the early court, there were not many people who knew about this matter, and there was basically no possibility of it being leaked out. Secondly, if there were adults in the court, in order to oppose this matter, arrange staff to report the situation and let the officers of the guards make preparations in advance , This is a very dangerous thing. In the end, the juniors feel that this is a major matter of principle, which must not be ignored, and must be prepared for the worst."

"Kun Yuan, tell me what you think."

"The younger generation thinks that Qu Qingze handled it very well this time. Grab that middle-aged man and see what's going on. If someone in the DPRK opposes the mutual market and the abolition of the guards, or even encourages the officers of the guards to resist or Mutiny, this is the best opportunity, and this junior is worried about what kind of opportunity to do it."

"If this is not the case, how do you deal with it?"

"The younger generation thinks that this must be the case. My lord, think about it. The commanders of Ningxia Wei, the former Ningxia central defender, and the left and right Zhongtunwei are all concentrated in Ningxia Wei. What kind of possibility is there for so many guard commanders There is no imperial decree for the concentration of guards in Ningxia. According to the regulations, they are not allowed to concentrate without authorization, unless they encounter major events involving their own interests. After thinking for a while, the only possibility is to abolish the guards in Shaanxi. The affairs of the institute and the border guards have been leaked."

Sun Chengzong nodded.

"Kun Yuan, your analysis makes sense. What do you plan to do next? What do you need me to do for you?"

"The younger generation plans to go back to Shaanxi immediately. Relatively speaking, the exchange market and the abolition of the guards, the younger generation must first pay attention to the matter of the exchange market, and prompt the start of the exchange market this morning. As for the abolition of the guards, let's see how the specific situation is. After you have made complete preparations, you can act again. If this junior finds any news this time, you must report it to your lord in time, and implore your lord to support this junior at the court and the emperor."

"There is no problem. The old man will definitely pay attention, but you should also pay attention. If there is any change in the officers of the guard, you must make a decisive decision without the slightest hesitation. Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others are all Lesson, a few years ago, many guard soldiers mutinied and took refuge with the bandits. Over the years, because of the bravery of the Jiangning Camp, the guard soldiers no longer dared to make such a move, but this time the situation is different, we must prevent They jumped over the wall in a hurry."

Su Tiancheng nodded.

"My lord, the juniors in the guards can handle it. The key is that if there is a problem in the court, the juniors will not be able to intervene."

An angry expression appeared on Sun Chengzong's face.

"In this regard, you don't need to think too much. If there is such a situation, how can the old man take it lightly? Hmph, you are too courageous. Don't you know that doing this is the crime of destroying the nine clans? It is equivalent to conspiracy. "

Su Tiancheng didn't say anything. Sun Chengzong's words were not meant for fun. If the collusion between inside and outside was really exposed, it was likely to cause a bloodbath, and the emperor would not be able to bear it. Lessons from this aspect have already been learned in the court. precedent. (To be continued..)
