The autumn cicadas are still singing.

After hearing the question from the eldest prince Wanyan Oben, Qin Hui shuddered, but did not reply directly. Instead, he scanned the crowd with his eyes.

By the way, this is the Yanjing Chancery. Meeting here with everyone cross-legged has been the political habit of the young ruler for several years. Now, although the ruler is seventeen years old, he has been an adult for more than a year, and his political influence has also increased.

It gradually became stronger, but it was still not enough to see in front of the three princes.

In addition, the Kingdom of Jin had an old system of tribal democracy, so no one had any doubts about this meeting model, which represented the highest political power of the Kingdom of Jin.

Isn't there some kind of secret pavilion in Zhao and Song Dynasties in the south? Even if Zhao Guan's family didn't come back for a year, it wouldn't be a waste.

It is said that he learned Chinese culture from Da Jin.

Today, in addition to the fact that the king of the country, Wanyan Hela, was not here as usual, the King of Jin led the Prime Minister of the capital...that is, the third prince, Wanyan Yinliduo... also took some central officials to Zhending Mansion.

The situation is remote control, so there are only a few people participating in this meeting here at this time:

Taishi, the king of Liao led Pingzhang in military and state affairs, that is, the eldest prince Wanyan Onben;

The King of Wei led the envoy of the Privy Council, the fourth prince Wanyan Wushu;

Wanyan Xiyin, deputy prime minister of the capital, the de facto promoter of the Sinicization reform, and the de facto political leader of the Jin Kingdom;

Hanlin bachelor, internal system, actually represents Han Fang, the seventeen-year-old leader of the country and himself the leader of the Han people in Yanyun;

The provincial capital accepted the decree and appointed Hong Ya, the Minister of Household Affairs and Wanyan Xiyin's actual deputy, who was transferred from Qi State;

The Privy Council accepted the decree and was also the Minister of Rites, and Wulin responded to Zanmo;

The left deputy commander of the Yanjing New Army, Wulin of ten thousand households responded to Taiyu;

In addition, there are four others, namely Wanyan Talan, Wanyan Wuye, Wanyan Yinshuke, and Wanyan Pujianu, but they are typical new faces plus old faces.

Among these four, the 'scholar' Wanyan Wuye, who is less than 40 years old, is a new face, but his rise to the top is expected, because he is the Jurchen teacher of the king, a confidant of the king, and a close friend.

The Zhizong clan (Talan's brother) and the pioneer of Chineseization are believed to be the heirs of Wanyan Xiyin... Now that the king of the country has come of age, of course there must be a place for this new minister of the Ministry of Industry.

But the three old guys, Wanyan Pujianu, Wanyan Talan, and Wanyan Yinshuke, have returned to the core power. But it is not just because the little country leader wants to use the skills of these people to fight against the three uncles, but because the entire

Due to the overall situation and situation, the ruling group had no choice but to do this. At the beginning of this year, just after the New Year, there was a late spring cold, which directly caused the death of the former leader Wu Qibuy, who was paralyzed on the kang, and went to see Taizu Wanyan Aguda.

went.

Wu Qimai is not the same thing as his son. After all, he was the second ruler after the founding of the country. He was the pillar of the country as early as the Aguda period, stabilizing the rear for Aguda. Later, during his reign, he also completed the early stage of the Song Dynasty.

The invasion led to the Jingkang Incident, which was regarded as seizing the two rivers for the Jin Kingdom as the heartland. At the same time, he also completed part of the centralization of state power during his term, appeasing and integrating various tribal forces outside the pass.

Although the political situation was out of control in his later years, it was still a non-war crime. On the way back to his political base after leaving Yanjing, he collapsed when the wind blew. Who can blame him?

This is really something that can't be helped. Lou Shi made it very clear when he came to Shangshutai. The group of 'old people' from the founding period of the People's Republic of China, from Aguda on down, generally suffered enough when they were young, and young and middle-aged people

And Duo fought tooth and nail on the battlefield, dying when he wanted to. It was so helpless.

It is an objective fact that famous founding kings and generals continue to wither away.

All in all, Wu Qimai's political achievements are there, and there is nothing immoral. Even if Wanyan Wushu staged a coup, the three brothers did not dare to deny him, but pushed the out-of-control political situation to Nianhan.

Later, he wanted to eliminate Wu Qimai's direct forces and also engaged in fishing and law enforcement, but he did not dare to touch Wu Qimai.

Therefore, Wu Qimai's death immediately triggered serious political turmoil.

Specifically, the old forces of the Jin Kingdom outside the Pass, which were already seriously dissatisfied with the relocation of the capital and the re-employment of the Han people, immediately lost their patience, and took advantage of this incident to launch a non-violent non-cooperation movement outside the Guan... Some were simply violent non-cooperation movements.

... He vaguely said that the old king died because his son was killed by a traitor, and he was filled with sorrow and anger.

Under such circumstances, Yanjing still has to face pressure from the south, and the ten new Yanjing troops that the country is making great efforts to build are themselves a design of half Guanwai tribe and half Yanyun Han people, so there is no need

At this time, Fa fell out with Guanwai.

In the end, just as Zhao Guan's family had to appease some southeastern opposition parties, Daikin here also chose to appease the tribes outside the pass... Everyone has their own national conditions here... The first thing is to recognize Wu Qimai's political achievements, and the temple name is Daikin

Emperor Taizong's specific posthumous title is Emperor Taizong, Emperor of Ti Yuan Ying Shi De Zhao Gong Zhe Huiren Sheng Wen Lie.

It is worth mentioning that this posthumous title was thought up by Qin Huizhi himself.

Secondly, they privately abandoned the ban on the smuggling of Goryeo luxury goods and at the same time vigorously rewarded the leaders of clans outside the customs.

In the end, there was no other way, so we re-activated these old-school figures who may not represent the interests of the tribe outside the pass, but can be recognized by the tribe outside the pass.

Of course, although Wanyan Yinshu was nominally the commander-in-chief of the Yanjing New Army, in fact the Yanjing New Army was divided into two parts, led by Wanyan Talan and Wulin Dataiyu respectively. He could command

It's a big deal to touch your thousands of old assets.

Wanyan Pu's slave became the deputy prime minister of the capital, but in fact it was just a decoration. Where Wanyan Xiyin was, how could it be this old guy's turn to interfere in government affairs?

The only thing worth mentioning is Wanyan Talan. After all, this person was the leader of both sides in the past. He has speculated many times. In addition, due to the overall situation this time, and he himself is considered a close clan member, especially in the new army of Yanjing.

On his old foundation, there is also a beautiful and lively girl who cannot regain her political future, which gives him even more opportunities, so this time he can seriously return to the core of central power.

Of course, the Yanjing New Army is full of new recruits, and there is no way for a living girl to advance, but that does not mean that he is so easy to handle. I am afraid that Talan, who has long since lost his minions in the army, wants to establish power in the New Army.

It still takes time.

Therefore, even after returning to the center of power, Ta Lai became a lot more honest. He followed the three princes in everything and never went out of his way.

Finally, among those present here, of course, there is a deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Qin Hui Qin Huizhi, who actually served as the political affairs and strategic deputy of several princes and participated in all aspects of the affairs of the Jin Kingdom.

Put together, there are exactly twelve people at this time.

Turning back to the front of his eyes, the cicadas were still chirping. Qin Huizhi looked around at the people, and the information went through his mind. In fact, it only took a moment, and he only paused for a moment before speaking seriously to the eldest prince, Wanyan Oben.

:

"His Royal Highness the King of Liao, do you want to ask whether the things in the newspaper of the Song Dynasty are true or false, or do you want to ask whether the Song people will cross the river?"

"I want to ask all of them." Wanyan Onben also gained momentum and urged directly on the futon. "I also want to ask whether it is true or false, and I also want to ask about crossing the river... Let's talk about true and false first, and then cross the river."

Qin Hui nodded and responded calmly: "If this is the case, it will let the two kings and colleagues know. I believe that the Zhao Song officials themselves may not be able to tell whether the information in the residence newspaper is true or false."

The remaining eleven people, except for one Wanyan Xiyin whose expression remained unchanged and seemed to have woken up a long time ago, the remaining ten people were all stunned for a moment, and then began to think deeply.

"To put things into perspective, it's actually extremely simple." Qin Hui glanced at Wanyan Xiyin and saw that the other party seemed to disdain to do this kind of explanation work, so he continued. "That is, the document is a document, and the reality is the reality.

...Whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty, there are already provinces, Privy Council, Yushitai, Six Ministries, Jiuqing, Five Supervisors, as well as bachelors, ministers, secretaries, and even the marching department, the control department, and the imperial city.

Such systems have been like this for thousands of years. There are always people to take care of all kinds of things in the world... For example, as early as the Renzong Dynasty of Zhao and Song Dynasties, there were three secretaries in charge of financial strategy, and the accounts of the Imperial Army for a year could be detailed.

A penny was also written into a memorial and recorded, but is the military expenditure of the Renzong Dynasty really so detailed and clear?"

The remaining ten people also completely woke up.

Wanyan Talan immediately shook his head and laughed: "Let me tell you, how did the Song Dynasty become so capable? That Zhao Guan's family went to the south of the Yangtze River for a year and did not come back until a year later. As a result, as soon as they returned to the Central Plains, they walked from Nanjing to

Tokyo, in just half a month, was able to organize the country's internal affairs, foreign affairs, logistics and military supplies so well? It turned out to be just paperwork. And paperwork, there are so many government officials, if they just report according to the rules, they will always have something to say."

"Even if this is the case, it should not be underestimated." Wanyan Xiyin finally interrupted, but seriously reminded everyone present. "Let me ask you, is it better to have documents or not to have documents... Is it better to be as meticulous as a penny, or as careless as a penny?

Is it better to round up a hundred guans? If there is a system, officials, and documents, then we can follow the plan when something happens, and we can directly arrange things when we want to do things. And if there are no documents, then the Zhao Song official family

Even if he wants to scare us in the newspaper, he doesn’t know how to scare us!"

Xi Yin was so serious that Talan immediately scoffed at him. Everyone else heard that Xi Yin was talking about everyone as if he was lecturing a child, and they were also a little dissatisfied, but no one expressed it.

"That's right." Qin Hui then responded slowly. "Besides, although the words of the Zhao and Song officials in the residence newspaper were intended to scare us and encourage them, they may not be true lies to scare and deceive others..."

I just want to say that it is impossible for us to verify this kind of thing in any case, and it is impossible for Emperor Zhao and Song to know the national affairs and military affairs as well as he claimed in his newspaper. No one should take the specific content above seriously.

"

When everyone heard this, most of them nodded with emotion. Even Hong Ya, after looking at Qin Hui with great interest, immediately nodded as if thinking.

To put it bluntly, there are basically no stupid people in the Yanjing Secretariat. They are just short-term slaves such as Wanyan Pu's slave, who also led the army during Taizu's time, and also served as Wanyan Nianhan's deputy for a time.

Only to be replaced by Xiyin later.

Moreover, Qin Hui and Wanyan Xiyin's analysis is also very direct, and the reasoning is very simple. There is nothing difficult to understand.

That's it...what else could it be like?

You know, these days it is difficult to have the kind of idealized, dead soldier-like professional spies. It does not mean that there are no corresponding patriots, nor does it mean that the corresponding people cannot be sent to carry out corresponding activities, but that the traffic conditions and information

Passing conditions makes this action extremely inefficient and not very meaningful at all.

In fact, since ancient times, the concept of spies has been more of a part-time job...for example, a small group of armed reconnaissance, raiding troops, they go to investigate and break the attack, which is of course a typical 'use room'.

Another example is that envoys between countries go to places to test the political attitude of the other party, investigate geography along the way, and observe military arrangements. This is also a natural espionage behavior.

For example, high-ranking civil servants and military leaders with speculative power, or even tribes who are qualified to be outsiders or even third-party countries on both ends of the spectrum choose to convey certain information at a specific period, or even betray on the spot... These are all standards.

of espionage.

As for the very few who are in the Cao camp and whose hearts are in the Han Dynasty, most of them can only be Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Geng Ji, Jin Yi, and even Fa Zheng and Zhang Song need Liu Yuzhou to enter Shu to be effective.

Yes, it requires a corresponding military and political atmosphere... But now the Song and Jin countries are confronting each other along a Yellow River. The political bases of the two sides are thousands of miles apart, and pure espionage has basically been suppressed to a very low level.

Zheng Yinian must have accepted the so-called standard espionage mission before he left, but as soon as he returned, he became a loyal minister of Zhao Guan's family, including Gao Qingyi who followed him and went back without doing anything. Before his brother Zheng Xiunian came over from the south,

The one who registered with the Imperial City Department is now considered a high-ranking official of the Jin Dynasty. Another registered person, Hong Ya, is sitting in this minister's desk, but are they really spies?

It's just a seed saved, waiting for the times to push it forward.

And back to the overall situation of the confrontation between Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty... Low-intensity military reconnaissance on the front line must have never stopped, and there must have been small infiltrations, but as long as the Northern Expedition did not suddenly start, the vast majority of military intelligence along the river would have been of no use...
To be continued...
