Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 332 Four People Died in Battle

"Bai Si Shi! Your Assassination Department first selects people. According to the chief commander's intention, you have 200 people. The original Assassination Department had 100 people. Four people died in battle these days. You can choose another [-] people. "Li Junhao first bowed his hands politely to Bai Canghai.

Bai Canghai returned the gift with a smile, Lian Jicheng, the Deputy Assassination Department's deputy envoy next to him, quickly took out a list and handed it to Li Junhao. Li Junhao took a look at it and nodded.

Bai Canghai knew the content of Ye Chen's reform and adjustment a long time ago, so he was naturally prepared.In the lobby, Ye Chen frowned after listening to Xu Fangyi and Hu Sanguang's report.

"In this way, the two adopted sons raised by the eunuch Chen Qingping outside the city, and the courtyard where the three concubines lived were flooded, and they were burned to death in a fire." Ye Chen can understand that eunuchs have adopted sons in this era After all, the ancients attached great importance to the inheritance of the surname and whether there is incense to worship after death, and the adopted son can also provide for the elderly.But although he didn't hate how many women the ancient eunuchs raised at home, it was still hard to understand.

"Yes! My lord, according to the time we found out, this incident happened on the day Duke Cao was assassinated." Xu Fangyi said.

Ye Chen pondered for a while, and said: "I always feel that besides Zhang Jiye, there are people from the Maitreya sect in the palace. You can check carefully to see if Chen Qingping has any nephews, nephews, etc. I had contacts with those people when I was in Kaifeng, so don’t miss any of them. Hmm... In addition, His Majesty’s investigation in the palace is mostly for Wu Desi Zhang Zhan to do it. You may wish to contact Zhang Zhan in private For a while, exchange information with each other, maybe there will be something to gain."

Xu Fangyi and Hu Sanguang respectfully agreed.

Ye Chen suddenly remembered the few days when King Wei got married at the beginning of the year, and inadvertently let the Southern Gang at that time investigate the fact that Lu Duoxun, a scholar of Jixian Hall, had sent someone to hide his identity and give alms to Shang Wanguan at Mingwang Temple in the south of the city, and said: "Send someone again Thoroughly investigate Mingwang Temple in the south of the city and Lu Duoxun, a scholar of Jixian Hall, and send people to watch them. Although Maitreya Sect's left and right guards in Kaifeng do not know Mingwang Temple, but I always feel that Mingwang Temple has something to do with Maitreya Sect."

Xu Fangyi knew what Ye Chen was talking about, so he quickly agreed.

Ye Chen thought for a while, and said: "There are people from the Maitreya sect in the palace, and the temple has always been stronger than the Maitreya sect in this respect, and there will be many people who want to come to the temple in the palace. But I remember Yu At the beginning, I said that there is a noble person in the palace who is the secret son of the temple, but unfortunately she didn't tell me her name at that time, it seems that I will ask Li Siyan later."

Xu Fangyi hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, Li Siyan's subordinates always feel that since Old Demon Yu died, her attitude is not clear, should they send someone to watch over her?"

Ye Chen pondered for a while, and said: "Send someone to watch her, but she must not be discovered by her. There are also Qian Ning under Li Siyan's command, and Zhou Jie from the Cao Gang. Um... Zhou Jie, Li Siyan and Qian Ning, maybe we can turn them against..." Ye Chen thought of the black blood venomous mother hidden in his body, and the [-] black soldier ants in the black gourd, and had some thoughts in his mind.

"Your intelligence department plan, arrange a place, a time, let me meet with Li Siyan, Zhou Jie, and Qian Ning, remember that it is absolutely wrong for me to meet with them, let anyone except the three of us and the participants of the intelligence department Everyone knows. Xu Fangyi is directly responsible for this matter, but Hu Sanguang continued to prepare for the affairs of Wuyue Kingdom, and two days later, Hu Sanguang took people there ahead of schedule."

Xu Fangyi and Hu Sanguang respectfully agreed, and quickly wrote it down.

Not long after Xu Fangyi and Hu Sanguang left, Li Junhao walked in.

After Li Junhao met Li Junhao, Ye Chen didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "The Supervision Department has just been established, you need to discuss with Xu Fangyi and Hu Sanguang, and distribute half of the original intelligence department's manpower in Da Song to your Supervision Department." Within two years, your supervisory department will have its own secret offices or offices in all counties, prefectures, and prefectures. And within three years at the latest, your intelligence department will give all the members of the imperial court five ranks and above Lurking Anzi. Hmm... Your Supervision Division has taken over the surveillance tasks of Lu Yuqing, Wang Yuefeng, and Tao Gu from the Intelligence Division. You must continue to keep an eye on me. You must hurry up to infiltrate Anzi into the three of them. The king and the prime minister also sent people to watch, and these two mansions also have secret agents from your intelligence department, the sooner the five ministers, the better." Ye Chen recalled the sudden death of Zhao Kuangyin in the "candle shadow and ax sound" in the original history, When Zhao Guangyi became the emperor, he said solemnly at the end.

Of course Li Junhao knew that the emperor's decree only said that the Huaxia Weifu had the right to supervise officials below the third rank. Ye Chen just said that the officials above the fifth rank also specifically pointed out that they would insert dark sons in the mansions of King Jin, Zhao Guangyi, Lu Yuqing, and Wang Yuefeng. Obviously it is against the will of the emperor.But Li Junhao didn't feel anything wrong or uncomfortable, and he even felt a sense of inexplicable excitement while taking it for granted and awe-inspiring in his heart.

Jin Wangfu.

After the decree regarding the supervision of officials in the world by the Huaxia Weifu was issued, Zhao Guangyi immediately summoned more than a dozen confidant officials to discuss the matter, including Ren Zhiliang, Wang Xin and others who were subordinates to his Kaifeng government.

As for Wang Yuefeng, Tao Gu and other court ministers who had secretly taken refuge in Zhao Guangyi, they did not dare to come to see Zhao Guangyi so blatantly, and could only exchange news through secret messengers.

After some discussion, Zhao Guangyi frowned more deeply, because he found that he had no effective way to deal with Ye Chen and Huaxia Weifu, and even had no way to avoid Huaxia Weifu's supervision of his officials.

At this time, a confidant guard came in and handed him a secret letter.Zhao Guangyi opened it and took a look. After a little meditation, his eyes gradually lit up, and said: "I just got the news from the palace that Ye Chen has reported the appointment memorial of the Huaxia Weifu to His Majesty. The Huaxia Weifu has been changed from the original three divisions to There are seven divisions, which are Intelligence Division, Supervision Division, Internal Affairs Division, Assassination Division, Security Division, Weapons Division, and Law Enforcement Division. Among them, the Supervision Division is an institution used to monitor all officials below the third grade of the Song Dynasty. It is Ye Chen's number one confidant, Li Junhao. The Law Enforcement Division is used to monitor the internal agencies of their Huaxia Weifu. The Law Enforcement Division is... Liu Shuizhi, I have never heard of this person. I don't know if he is one of the masters of the rivers and lakes that Ye Chen subdued. , you should inquire as soon as possible after you get down. Hmm! What this king wants to say is that the positions of deputy envoys of the Supervision Division and the Law Enforcement Division are still vacant."

At this point, Zhao Guangyi paused, glanced at the crowd, and continued: "Your Majesty asked the Huaxia Weifu to monitor the officials of the world. This king guessed that the cause was the Sichuan and Sichuan Rebellion and Zhao Pu's more than ten cans of melon seeds. Let Your Majesty know The officials in the Song Dynasty lacked an effective monitoring organization, so Ye Chen was asked to take the Huaxia Weifu to supervise, but whoever supervises the Huaxia Weifu law enforcement officers will not guard themselves and will not be bought by corrupt officials. Supervising the power of the Huaxia Weifu, but with the abilities of Zhang Zhan and Wu Desi's trash, this king guesses that His Majesty is not at ease. In the Huaxia Weifu, except for Han Hu who belongs to His Majesty, everyone else is Dust's people. Now the positions of the deputy chiefs of the two extremely important departments of the Huaxia Weifu are vacant. Maybe Ye Chen is waiting for His Majesty to appoint and fill people. Maybe not. But this is an opportunity for us. Whether it is the Supervision Department or the Law Enforcement Department, looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and the thousands of officials in the Song Dynasty, who is the most suitable candidate for these two positions, who can compare to my official in Kaifeng Mansion."

Zhao Guangyi's eyes fell on Ren Zhiliang, and he continued: "Ren Zhiliang's ability to solve cases is seldom compared to anyone in the Song Dynasty. There are many major cases solved in these years, and even His Majesty appreciates it very much. This king decided to let Ren Zhiliang go. It is recommended to His Majesty that Ren Zhiliang will go to the Huaxia Weifu to serve as the Deputy Commissioner of the Supervision Department. Ren Zhiliang! Do you have any ideas?"

Ren Zhiliang was secretly happy, but he knew that the deputy commanders of the various departments under the Huaxia Weifu were from the fifth-rank official position.You must know that he is now the official of the sixth rank.If he can become the Deputy Commissioner of the Supervision Department, he will naturally be promoted.

In addition, he also heard that in addition to the salary of the Huaxia Weifu, there are various high bonuses and subsidies. The most important thing is the Deputy Commissioner of the Supervision Department who supervises the officials of the world. What a glorious position this is, far from his Now a chief push officer of Kaifeng Mansion can compare.

Ren Zhiliang had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but in front of Zhao Guangyi, he didn't dare to show the slightest expression. Instead, he pretended to hesitate for a while, and then bowed and said: "This subordinate can be cultivated by the prince alone, as long as the prince thinks that the subordinate will go to Huaxia. The Weifu is beneficial to the prince, so the subordinates listened to the prince and went to the Huaxia Weifu to serve as the deputy envoy of the Supervision Department."

Zhao Guangyi was very satisfied with Ren Zhiliang's reaction and attitude.

After finishing the discussion in the hall, Zhao Guangyi came to a secret room after meditating alone for a while.

In name, he is a counselor of Jin Wangfu, but in fact he is the mysterious Mr. Chen, one of the three outer sect elders in Kaifeng. There is a game of Go in front of him, and a tea set next to him.

"Mr. Chen sits in the mansion all day, is he clear about the current situation in the court?" Zhao Guangyi sat in front of Mr. Chen, pointing and somewhat dissatisfied.

Mr. Chen smiled slightly and said: "I know what the prince is worried about, but the king of Wei's performance on the day the emperor was assassinated was really bad, and his majesty must be very disappointed with him these days. But the king of Wei and Ye Chen are on good terms. , with the support of Zhao Pu. Especially now that the Huaxia Weifu established by Ye Chen is huge and powerful, and now it has the power to supervise all officials of the Song Dynasty. When we start an incident in the future, Ye Chen and Huaxia Weifu will be Biggest variable."

Zhao Guangyi said: "Is it even more variable than Zhao Pu?"

Mr. Chen said: "It was the loss of my two secret sons that allowed His Majesty to come across the dozen or so cans of melon seed gold in Zhao Pu's mansion. A few days ago, Xu Xuan, the deputy envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, entered Zhao Pu's mansion. These two things are very important to Zhao Pu's family." The blow will be far beyond the lord's estimate. You have to know how long you think Zhao Pu can stay in the position of prime minister once the emperor loses trust in the high-ranking prime minister."
