Wanli Xinming

Chapter 9 The Guardian
Zhu Yijun saw that Zhu Xixiao was wearing a python robe, and the rest were wearing dark red flying fish suits. Because of the cold weather, they all wore fur cloaks.After they were all seated, he asked, "I didn't hear the registration just now, so please introduce yourself." Seeing that Zhu Xixiao knelt down again, he said, "Sit down and talk."

Zhu Xixiao bowed and said, "Chen Zhu Xixiao, the governor of the left and the commander of Jinyiwei."

A middle-aged military attache with a lean face behind him bowed and said: "Chen Li Santai, Jinyiwei commander Tongzhi, Guanbeizhen Fusi." The following people also signed up one after another. It was a matter of fact, Yang Tao, Wu Fakui, the envoy of the Nanzhen government, and Wang Tong, the minister of the Beizhen government.Among the senior officials of Jinyiwei, there is another incident, Xiao Dong, who was away on business and was not in Beijing.

Hearing the application of the Minister of Fu of Beizhen, Zhu Yijun was particularly attentive. Seeing that Wang Tong was not very old, he was about [-] years old, and he was quite literate. He was not like a warrior in charge of the imperial prison, but a civil servant.

Zhu Xixiao is about fifty years old, and his appearance is very similar to that of Cheng Guogong Zhu Xizhong.Zhu Yijun said warmly, "You look a lot like your brother, Duke Chengguo."

Zhu Xixiao was very unaccustomed to the emperor's way of talking, and he was not a quick-witted person, so he replied: "I will wait for the grace of God, my brothers and sisters."

Zhu Yijun's head was full of black lines, and he said with a puff of joy: "Your brothers and the old prince look alike, what does it have to do with Tianen? Don't be nervous, we monarchs and ministers have a few gossip, don't have to be polite." Zhu Xixiao was more comfortable now, and then Hearing the emperor instructed the inner supervisor: "These officials are my eyes and ears. Without them, I would be blind or deaf. You wait for the tea, and serve carefully." He added, "The dragon burns in this hall. the heat, and serve them to take off the hairy clothes."

When Zhu Xixiao heard this, her eyes turned red.Because the emperor asked him to sit, he did not dare to kneel.Bowing and choking, he said, "Long live, don't wait for the bluntness of the minister, the minister..." He was speechless.Zhu Yijun secretly wondered, thinking that he was so moved by a bowl of tea, this person was too much to win over.Little do they know that the profession of the emperor has its own particularity, except that the founding emperor has experienced the warmth and affection of beating children, and he can take care of the feelings of others.The rest of the emperors of all dynasties grew up around him, so how could there be time to think about others?Apart from showing filial piety and making superficial essays, none of the courtiers can be polite to them. There are one and a half of them. Basically, there will be a "benevolence" in their posthumous titles.This is even more true for the successive emperors of the Ming Dynasty. In order to maintain the so-called dignity of the so-called emperor, this courtier can stand up and reply a word with grace. From Zhu Yuanzhang to Emperor Longqing, there is only one exception (the exception is Wu Zong), how can he drink tea first like this? ?Unless the courtiers were talking at length and their voices were hoarse, the emperor sent a kind heart to tea - it also depends on the mood.Empress Dowager Li listened to the emperor's answer behind the screen, and nodded secretly, knowing that the emperor was trying to win people's hearts.

After everyone took off the cloak, Zhu Yijun chatted with Zhu Xixiao for a few more words, and then asked, "How many people are there in Jinyiwei now? What kind of ministry is in charge?"

Since Emperor Xuanzhen's envoy had an audience, Zhu Xixiao knew that this question was unavoidable.This journey has long been carefully questioned and prepared, and he replied: "My lord, there are now 6000 offices with [-] people in charge. Now there are a total of Experience Department and Nanbei Zhenfu Department, and the master directly drives the guards." , inspections and arrests, etc.”

Zhu Yijun was taken aback and said, "How many people?"

Zhu Xixiao bowed his head and replied: "My lord, Jinyi's pro-army establishment was established by Cheng Zu's restoration of the Taizu's "Gongwei Division", and it is also one of His Majesty's pro-army guards. The holy driver sent out the police and entered the camp, and there were 4000 followers in front of him. Jinyiwei occupies half of it, this is a block; there are one Fusi in the north and the south, and the Fusi in the north town has a "prison", and has the power of investigation, arrest, and interrogation. It is the master who directly controls the judiciary. Qianhusuo, this is Datou, about 8000 people; Nanzhen Fusi, who is in charge of criminal law affairs and also handles military artisans, is not many, nearly 2000 people. There are also miscellaneous people such as secretary, experience, and ceremonial staff. There are only so many people waiting." But he said in his heart: "There are not many people here?"

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he thought secretly.After thinking for a while, he asked, "Who will lead the servants in front?" After speaking, he looked at everyone present.

Zhu Xixiao bowed and said: "This matter is led by the minister."

Zhu Yijun nodded when he heard the words, noncommittal.He asked again: "Beijing Fusi is in charge of spying on the intelligence, apart from these cavalry and sitting spies on the bright side, can there be spies?"

When Zhu Xixiao heard it, he was a loyal and honest man, and he didn't want to steal the limelight from the emperor, so he didn't say anything and looked at Wang Tong with his eyes.

Seeing Zhu Xixiao looking at himself, Wang Tong hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are no set rules for spying and assassination. Usually, they use the gangsters and the like to inquire about information around the houses of civil servants and military officials. This kind of intelligence is disorganized and unsystematic, and requires another expert to analyze it. The real intelligence still needs to be discovered by hidden spy.”

After Zhu Yijun heard it, he had a rough estimate of the level of Jin Yiwei at this time.He has read the historical works of the Ming Dynasty, and knows the detective duties of Jinyiwei.In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, thousands of households in various places took advantage of their powers and ganged up with the underworld, and became the emperor's personal thugs and the middle officials he sent, and the function of spying on intelligence was completely lost.Although this Wang Tong is young, but he can be a fifth-grade sedative, it is estimated that he has already been entangled by those chains of interests - can he use it?

On second thought, it is not necessary to use it.Although he is an emperor, he is limited by his age, and now he has only a little suffrage, how can he choose officials?Just look at whether Wang Tong and others have talent and whether they can implement their will well.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Yijun said: "In recent days, I have watched the performances by Jin Yiwei, but most of them are official articles—" Zhu Yijun stopped when he heard that he wanted to kneel down and apologize.

After a pause, Zhu Yijun said again: "I think that the intelligence responsibilities of this Jinyiwei will be greatly strengthened in the future. This information is divided into these categories: First, the people's feelings in various places, Jinyiwei will collect local prices, rainwater, etc. Disasters, crop seeds, yield, population growth, etc.—" Before he finished speaking, he instructed the middle official: "Bring a pen and paper and let them remember."

Seeing that several people took up the pen and paper, Zhu Yijun continued: "This information on people's livelihood cannot be taken lightly. If you don't get it from the local officials to transcribe it, you still have to see it on the spot and check it. Only then will I know the real people's conditions in various places. You can know it. ?" Zhu Xixiao played: "I dare not take it lightly, and I will find out the report in detail separately."

"The second is the military situation. Now foreign countries are unstable, and there are alien races inside. Once there is a change, it is easy to be caught off guard. When you are studying the art of war, don't you hear that you know yourself and the enemy, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles? Sun Tzu also reuses the room - this room has the countryside, the inner room, and the opposite room. , the dead, the living, you have to classify them, choose some appropriate people, and arrange them in places that are prone to change, such as Oirat, Liaodong, Southwest, etc., hide them, and transmit information regularly and irregularly."

"The third is the political situation, the civil and military officials who are linked with whom, who are related by marriage, the same teacher, the same year, the same hometown, who walks with whom the most, who hangs with whom the Golan and the Shelter more - these need to establish special files , will be the nobles, civil servants, and generals of the Beijing officials of the seventh rank or above, including all the heads of the East Factory.” Zhu Xixiao and others were overjoyed when they heard the words, but they heard the emperor continue to say: “The local civil and military officials have real shortages. , this matter can be sent to the Ministry of Personnel to transcribe it, the key point is that there is nothing in the archives of the Ministry of Personnel." Zhu Xixiao was secretly shocked when he heard this, and he responded with all his face.

"Fourth is public opinion. This public opinion, whether there are people who use ignorant people to spread cults, whether there are nursery rhymes, prophecies, etc., should be paid attention to. In addition, the public voice of officials, whether they are corrupt, and the public reflection of the court's administration - not only to find scholars , and more importantly, go to the fields and find craftsmen, farmers, traders, etc. to get a clear understanding. Jinyiweili also needs more scholars to find out the origin and influence of each school of theory. With scholars, intelligence analysis can also be Get it done, and I'll talk about it later."

"The fifth is intelligence analysis. I believe that nine-tenths of the intelligence can be obtained from the public information without the need for time. There is a saying by Wang Tong, who is just right. He analyzes the information that is disorganized and unsystematic, and gets useful information. The information is also a major event that you should pay attention to!”

"The sixth is to find some literate and sensible military craftsmen, gather the skills of the world and foreign countries, and study them in detail, and have obtained the principle and can bring forth the new as the gist. "

"Seventh is to find someone who understands the method of making maps. Now we will analyze the details of rivers, mountains, roads, villages, water sources, forests, minerals, farming, water conservancy, grasslands, and salt fields in Sanbian, Mongolia, Oara, Liaodong and other places. Draw the situation carefully, the more detailed the better, so as to prepare for the use of the military." After a pause, he added: "Although this is an urgent matter, it is not urgent. I need to find some experts to study it and understand it, and then I will start. Get twice the result with half the effort - this matter, it will take three to five years to make contributions. When a special team is established, I will allocate a special fund to add all the details at home and abroad to form a map of the world."

"Eighth, after all the above-mentioned progress has been made, and with skilled hands, an intelligence school should be established to specialize in the training of intelligence talents, so as to achieve a hundred-year effect. -- This matter will be done before the end of this year, and will be gradually improved in the future."

After the eight articles were finished, Zhu Xixiao and others were dumbfounded.These words may not be fully said by Zhu Xixiao, Wang Tong and other intelligence chiefs, let alone a ten-year-old child?Empress Dowager Li was even more fascinated by what she heard behind the screen, and only then did she realize how incompetent she was - in fact, when Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di came, they would also feel ashamed.After all, later generations of party members and cadres have three small trainings in two years and three major trainings in three years at the party school. The world should know and understand everything, and its systematic and scientific nature is incomparable in ancient times.

Zhu Xixiao played: "Today, the ministers know that the talent of the emperor is really a gift from heaven, and it is not someone who can guess the heart of a well frog. The emperor has so clearly assigned the things that the ministers should be divided into. If the ministers do not work hard, they will be ashamed. Come on! After I go back, I will follow the eight rules stated by the emperor, and really do the job well, thinking that the emperor is the eagle and dog!"

Zhu Yijun listened with a smile and said, "You don't have to wait like that. Jinyiwei is the closest person in our army—he has done his errands with all his heart, and if he can benefit the country and the people, he has also wiped out Ji Gang, Wantong, Zhang Cai, Qian Ning, and Jiang. The stigma of brocade clothes left by Bin and others." Zhu Xixiao's eyes turned red again when he said that. ——Since the establishment of Jinyiwei, few commanders have left a good reputation.

After the long talk, Zhu Yijun took a sip of tea and instructed: "The acquisition and analysis of intelligence and other skills are the skills of Jinyiwei. You should set up a special team to study it and improve it day by day." Only those who are loyal and loyal can be trained. I hope that one day, Jin Yiwei will also be able to train an iron Harrier of my own - if this army is formed, I will personally take charge of it."

Zhu Xixiao kowtowed heavily and agreed.He was originally a loyal and loyal person. After being a hero of Jingnan, Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng, he was loyal to the royal family. That is why he was selected by Emperor Longqing as the commander of Jinyiwei. He has no ambition, so he has no political achievements. , drew a blueprint, and also had ambitions to do things that benefit the country and the people.Behind him, Li Santai, Lu Zanyuan, Wang Tong, and others felt as if they were burning coals in their hearts. Seeing the emperor's teachings so earnestly, they knew that Jinyiwei would be of great use, so they all expressed their loyalty and their faces flushed with excitement. .

Seeing that the heat was over, Zhu Yijun changed his face, and said solemnly: "Today's Jinyiwei, there are many people who are courting, extorting businessmen, or punishing officials for bribes, but you have to be careful!" After changing his face again, he showed a smile and said, "How much is the salary paid by the foreign court to Jinyiwei every year?"

Zhu Xixiao respectfully replied: "Long live back, the salary is divided into two places. The household department draws from the divisions and institutes of the capital, with an annual payment of 30 taels; the local government pays separately, with an annual payment of 70 taels, which is strange."

Zhu Yijun laughed and said: "One million taels of silver to support these many people, the average per capita is only 50 taels a year, but it is very difficult. I want to give you a raise, but it makes it difficult for Mr. Zhang to wait. As the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and elites are not expensive." Many, you can sort out those who are old, weak, and physically disabled, and start some brothels, hotels, boat companies, carriage companies, bodyguard companies, etc. to make a living. You can earn money and have daily expenses, inquire and pass on news. It’s also convenient. ——Attention, there must be a special person in charge of this matter, not to mix elite soldiers with merchants, not to mention extorting people’s wealth, and the finances must be clearly checked.” After a pause, he said: “The Governor of Nanzhen has been in charge since today. Since I am independent, I will directly lead them, and I will not be under your control—Lu Zanyuan and Wu Fakui, you should do a good job in internal supervision, and if there are criminals, report them to me and punish them severely."

It is not surprising that intelligence agencies set up three industries, which are used by all countries in future generations, but they are used to cover intelligence personnel, and making money is only secondary.Although Zhu Yijun also wanted to use the finances to support the intelligence agency, how could he have the money?I had to borrow some of the practices of later generations, but it was helpless.He made Nanzhen Fusi independent and led directly, just to warn Zhu Xixiao that his finances should be clear, internal supervision should be in place, and he should not be corrupt or bend the law.

When Zhu Xixiao heard that the emperor gave the policy, he was overjoyed at the beginning, but when he heard that Nanzhen Fusi Gui was directly led by the emperor, he froze in his heart and kowtowed.Lu Zanyuan and Wu Fakui were ecstatic in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces, and they answered loudly.

Zhu Yijun personally led the Nanzhen Fusi, but it was a helpless move due to the imperfect supervision system of the foreign dynasty.Although Lu Zanyuan and Wu Fakui are very likely to be in line with Zhu Xixiao and others, as the saying goes, the butt determines the head, and once the organization and identity of a person are changed, the thinking of the head will change accordingly. There may be some inertia at the beginning, and over time, It is bound to follow the path defined by the system, which is the essence of administrative management.Besides, Zhu Yijun has never seen a single one in his life with a deputy who has both face and heart.

Seeing that it was almost time for the summons, Zhu Yijun said, "Bring a pen and paper." After the inner supervisor placed the paper and the brush was soaked with ink, he held his breath and wrote a large set of characters, but it was: "******** ******, why do you avoid it because of misfortune or fortune?"Titled: The Royal Pen of the First Year of Wanli.When the ink was dry, he handed it to Zhu Xi Xiaodao: "Jin Yiwei has been infamous for many years, but it is not only because of the chaotic actions of the previous commanders. This is a secret agency, and it is not liked by the civil officials and military generals of the foreign dynasties, especially scholars. But what you are waiting for is of great use to me and the country. This letter is given to you, you carved it, and hung it on the gate, so that the pro-military and foreign officials can see, how does I view you? ." Zhu Xixiao took it over and read it with everyone, not to mention himself, everyone was sobbing.

Seeing that everyone's loyalty was full, Zhu Yijun said solemnly: "Zhu Xixiao stay, and the rest will go to work on their own." After sending everyone away, Zhu Xixiao was left alone.

Zhu Xixiao secretly complained that he was getting old, and he drank two cups of tea just now. At this time, he was already very anxious.Normally, when the emperor summons his courtiers, it is usually a matter of a few words, and it is not the courtier's turn to urinate.Zhu Xixiao didn't expect the emperor to talk to them so much, lecturing and writing endlessly. Although he was moved, his bladder couldn't wait.Hearing that the emperor was still alone with him, he couldn't help feeling sad.In the midst of panic, I heard the emperor say: "You are a few years old, I think you need to relax a little, but it is convenient to go out, and I also need to change." Zhu Xixiao almost didn't cry again after hearing this.

When the internal supervisor took Zhu Xixiao out, Zhu Yijun turned to the back of the screen and saw Empress Dowager Li's face full of joy, and looked at him in a daze.Seeing her joy, Zhu Yijun also smiled and said, "Empress mother, how did the emperor behave today?"

Empress Dowager Li took his hand and said with a smile on her face: "My son, the empress mother can only let go of the burden that your father and emperor entrusted to me today!" After that, she said with red eyes: "Your father and emperor are also partial, Why don't you enter my dream and talk to me?"

Zhu Yijun's face was full of black lines, and he understood more about the woman who divorced him - this woman's brain circuit is indeed different from that of men.He smiled and said: "My father is in the sky. I must be happy to see me like this. I must be a good emperor and live up to my father's expectations."

Empress Dowager Li cleaned up her mood and said with a smile: "Your father may not be as good as you—" After she felt it was inappropriate, she turned around and said, "Zhu Xixiao will play it alone, do you want the mother to listen to it? If there is no major event, the mother will go back. ." Inside and outside the words, revealing the confidence to allow the emperor to further participate in politics.

Zhu Yijun hurriedly said: "Please wait for a while, the queen mother, and the right thing to do for a while, but it is the case of the king, the queen mother, listen to it." Empress Dowager Li was startled and agreed.
