The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 220 About Spy
"Brother Zhao Pu is saying what the emperor is doing, why do you have to let me go? Can't other people do it?"

It has been two days since Zhao Kuangyin talked with Zhao Guangyi, and now Zhao Guangyi is holding this small gathering at Zhao Pu's home.

Don't look at how good Zhao Guangyi said in front of Zhao Kuangyin, but he really didn't want to go.

The environment in the northwest is much worse. I don't feel comfortable anyway, and I don't know where to stay until when?

Therefore, he was still very reluctant to go there in his heart. He was in a bad mood, so he came to drink with his good friend again.

I don't know how these two guys got together, and they have nothing in common.

"Brother Guangyi, I think this is your chance. This is a chance for you to make meritorious deeds from the emperor."

"Oh, what chance?" Zhao Guangyi, who didn't know why, asked in a questioning tone.

"Well, let me ask you, as the younger brother of the current emperor, what is the highest position you can achieve?" Zhao Pu asked him directly what is the highest position you can achieve without a word of nonsense.

Of course, the position he mentioned refers to his official position and title in the court, which both of them understood.

"Do you need to ask? At most, I will be named a prince." The emperor's younger brother, can you be an emperor? It's good to be a prince.

Zhao Pu picked up the cup in his hand with a smile and said slowly:

"Since brother Guangyi knows this, it's easy to handle. Look at what title you are now. Look at the emperor's youngest prince who already has a title, but you don't have one."

The emperor now has a son with Prince Zhao Xu, and the youngest son is not yet one year old, but this baby who is less than one year old is already the king of the county.

Others didn't say this, who made him the emperor's son, noble since birth?

"As his brother, you should be crowned king, but you haven't been crowned king. Do you know why?"

Facing Zhao Pu's question, Zhao Guangyi just shook his head blankly, he didn't know the reason.

"That's because His Majesty thinks that your credit is not enough, so I guess His Majesty is giving you credit this time, so you have to perform well. I think I will be crowned king when I come back."

Zhao Pu really did not guess wrong, Zhao Kuangyin really planned this way, and when Zhao Guangyi came back, he would be made a prince.

This is not a whim, but Queen Mother Du has said it in Zhao Kuangyin's ear several times.

Why, your younger brother can be regarded as helping you ascend the throne, so you have to treat him well no matter what.

He is your own brother, so why not make him a king, so as long as Zhao Kuangyin goes to see the queen mother, the old queen mother will nag about it.

Zhao Kuangyin was also a little irritable, so he came up with such an idea.It can not only inquire about the reality of the Shu Kingdom, but also add credit to the brother, so that he can also be crowned king, and other people have something to say.

That's why there was such a scene. I didn't expect that Zhao Pu could really guess that it was really the roundworm in the emperor's belly.

They were drinking here, and Zhao Kuangyin and his son were talking about something, and they heard it after walking in.

"Father, I want to train a group of spies myself, try the situation and see how it works, and if possible, I will follow this model to train national spies in the future."

"Don't panic, you kid first explain to me what a spy is. I really don't understand what you are talking about. Sometimes I wonder how your kid knows so many weird things."

At this time, there was no such word as spy, and now Zhao Xu was really not used to it, or didn't understand it at all.

"Of course the gods gave me my knowledge, otherwise how do you think I know." Zhao Xu couldn't say that he was taught by a teacher.

That teacher can teach such a monstrous character, besides, what kind of teacher Zhao Xu is following, can Zhao Kuangyin not know.

But what surprised Old Zhao was that he had never seen Zhao Xu practice any martial arts, but his skills were passable, which made him very surprised.

"I don't care if you learned from that fairy, now you can explain to me what a spy is, my genius son."

Glancing at Zhao Xu unhappily, Zhao Kuangyin urged, don't look at Lao Zhao's appearance like this, but he is still very happy.

Because only when he was alone with Zhao Xu could he feel truly relaxed.

"Fortunately, before I bring you this question back, I want to ask you a question. Do you know what a secret agent is?"

Zhao Xu stared at Zhao Kuangyin with staring eyes, waiting for his answer.

spy?How could he ask this question? He is too familiar with this. Ever since he joined the army, he has been familiar with this so-called secret agent.

After becoming the emperor, he became more familiar with it. Why is it because he has photographed countless spies from various countries.

The purpose is to be able to understand the situation of various countries as soon as possible. Not only did he do this, but other countries also sent spies to Song Dynasty.

"A spy is to spy on the enemy's important information, and then bring back what he has learned. This is a very important position. We need the information returned by these spies to formulate policies and so on."

Zhao Kuangyin summed it up directly, and immediately said the most important part of it. What he said was really the essence of it, and it basically summed up the meaning of the spy.
"You are right. If you know the spy, then you can explain what the spy means. A spy is simply the most senior spy."

"A secret agent is just one of the spies, but this is an inappropriate metaphor. If a spy is like a grandpa in a big family, then a spy is a great-grandson, or even a great-great-grandson."

He used a vivid metaphor to explain the difference between a secret agent and a spy, and let him know who is more important first.

Zhao Kuangyin was also calculating in his heart. According to the words at this time, if there are four generations in a family, the grandfather in this family is undoubtedly the highest.

Zhao Xu made a metaphor like this. Although Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what a spy was, he already knew its importance from this metaphor.

The concept of a spy is to refer to a spy who is secretly sent to the other country or region by a newspaper agency of another country to engage in various intelligence-gathering activities mainly stealing secrets.

But these spies don't just refer to personnel sent from their own country, they can also be personnel from hostile countries, and they can also become spies after training.

"A spy is a person who engages in covert espionage, eliciting classified information from an enemy or competitor, or conducting sabotage for the benefit of the party for which he works."

"For example, the spies sent by our Song Dynasty to destroy other countries will be more beneficial to our Song Dynasty."

After Zhao Kuangyin listened, he didn't express any opinions. He was digesting what Zhao Xu said.

It took him a long time to raise his head: "The spy you mentioned is similar to a secret agent, but it has more things than a secret agent, nothing more."

According to what Zhao Xu said above, Zhao Kuangyin immediately extracted the essence of it and knew the difference between a spy and a spy.

Well, I thought it would take a long time for you to accept what I said, but I didn't expect Zhao Kuangyin to accept it so quickly.

Zhao Xu forgot a sentence, which is called different paths lead to the same goal. Even if Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what it was, after Zhao Xu's down-to-earth explanation, would the smart old Zhao not understand.

Zhao Xu quickly said:
"Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet. I just started to explain some general things to you. I didn't expect that your understanding ability is so strong. So I will continue to explain to you. Maybe you will understand after listening."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and motioned Zhao Xu to continue.

"A spy has the most basic task, that is, the task of a secret agent, and that is to adopt a series of means. Remember that this means is any means to obtain the required information and send it back to the party he works for."

"From this point of view, spies include spies, don't you think?"

Zhao Xu directly included the duties of a spy as a spy, and he even said that this was part of his duties.

According to what he said, spies are definitely included, and you asked Zhao Kuangyin to say something.

"What I'm going to say next is the key point. You have to listen carefully and then you can see if it is necessary to train spies."

"The collection of intelligence by spies is only a small part of their mission responsibilities, and it is also their most common task. The most important thing is still behind."

"That is when spies have the right opportunity, that is, to assassinate at the right time, or to spread rumors in the opponent's direction, etc. These are all things they must master."

"As a spy, you must understand all aspects, such as dialects and customs in various places. You must know these things, and you must know how to disguise yourself."

"Impossible, how can a person master so many things, you are simply a fantasy, I don't believe that such a person can be cultivated."

Zhao Kuangyin interrupted before he finished talking about these things, and he didn't believe there would be such a person.

To understand the dialects and customs of various places, and to learn the art of disguise and makeup, this is a small part of it.

Zhao Kuangyin has never seen such a person, this is no longer a human being, but a god, so Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but object.

I understand the spies you mentioned, they are indeed more advanced than secret agents, but I really don't believe that such spies as you mentioned cannot exist at all.

If there is such a spy who is so strong and wants to cause a little trouble for other countries, he will not be caught. I will wait to see what this spy of your kid looks like.
