Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 168 The Secret Service Organization of the Eastern Palace

"From tomorrow onwards, you will be the crown prince of the East Palace washing horses, in charge of the Bureau of Economics and Economics, and the ranks will be adjusted from the fifth rank to the fifth rank. How about it, this is about the same as Changsun Chong and the others, and you have a balance in your heart!"

Prince Xima, the official position Wei Zheng had held before, was in charge of scriptures and records, and was an important staff member in the official system of the Eastern Palace. Zhao Jie and Zhao Jie were naturally overjoyed to get such an official position, so they quickly stood up and saluted to thank them.

"You don't need to tell me what Li Jingmen is doing, you all know it, and it's for the same purpose that you are in charge of the Bureau of Economics and Economics.

The palace will select [-] elite soldiers from the six ranks for you to dispatch, and you will secretly recruit other personnel by yourself, no matter if they are rangers, state officials or county officials, as long as they have the head of a family.

Bengong has only one request, to infiltrate every corner around Chang'an as soon as possible, and to be notified immediately of any disturbance. "

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Zhao Jie and Qiu Shenji were so startled that they could stuff an egg into their mouths, they would never have thought that the Crown Prince would give them such a heavy responsibility.

"The ministers will live up to His Highness's trust."

"The document went to Liu Shuyi, the concubine of the right, all right, step down."

Li Chengqian had already considered the issue of the secret spy department very early on. The reason why he hadn't taken any action was firstly to worry about the emperor's feelings, and secondly because he was afraid that the end of the year would be too late.

As for the appointment of Zhao Jie and Qiu Shenji, Li Chengqian also thought carefully.Needless to say, Zhao Jie is both a relative of the emperor and a confidant, so it is natural to feel at ease when using it.And Qiu Shenji was a well-known cruel official during Wu Zetian's period, so he was very familiar with this job, needless to say his ability.

The next day, the Department of Economy and Economics
Zhao Jie and Qiu Shenji sat side by side in the hall after announcing the crown prince's appointment to them, with ten officials standing below them.

They are three literary persons, who are under the sixth grade, who know the scriptures and serve the articles.There are four school scribes, all under the ninth grade.There are three orthographic people, from the ninth grade, in charge of the school's classics and history.

"My colleagues, the superficial matter is over, now we should talk about the serious matter. You all know the assassination of His Highness. What is the reason? Is it because the soldiers and guards are not good? No.

The fundamental reason is that because we know nothing about what happened outside, His Highness ordered the establishment of such an effective secret spy agency. "

"Everyone has worked in the East Palace for many years, and you have received His Highness's favor on weekdays."

What Zhao Jie said meant that they had lost their minds. Although their rank was not high, their salary was several times that of other officials of the same level, allowing their family to live a relatively prosperous life in Chang'an City.

Even if they did something wrong on weekdays, the prince was extremely tolerant to them.They have long been looking for an opportunity to repay the prince's kindness, but they have never had a chance.

Especially after hearing that Li Chengqian was assassinated, these low-level knife and pen officials saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts.There is a saying that a man dies for a confidant, and a woman is for a man who pleases him. Now that Zhao Jie and the two came with such a mission, how could they not be happy and encouraged. .
After Changsun Chong dropped his son, he glanced at Li Chengqian who was opposite him in a white coat.According to the current situation, it's not bad, at least his face is not as pale as it was a few days ago, otherwise Chang Sun Chong wouldn't dare to play chess with him here, wasting the patient's energy.

However, Li Chengqian's move really confused him. He has always advocated the rule of law in front of others, and breaking his promise to gain weight is not in line with his principles of life.

Is it because of this incident that Li Chengqian has undergone such a big change? Looking at the consequences of those monarchs who appoint cruel officials, Chang Sun Chong shudders when he thinks about it.No, this has to be said, otherwise, let alone the old man, even my own conscience will not let it go.

"Your Highness, haven't you always hated cruel officials? Why did you let Zhao Jie and the others go?"

After being together for so many years, Li Chengqian still doesn't know what Chang Sun Chong is thinking. Let's say that when the Ministry of Integrity and Government inspected officials for corruption. time.If it was because of his special status, he would have been invited back for tea a long time ago.

"It's not the same. They are only responsible for intelligence collection, and they have no right to try or arrest people. This is an insurmountable gap for them, and they have no access to the direction of government affairs, so you think that kind of situation will not happen. When fighting, who will be the first? If you have intelligence, you can control the initiative in the war and win the final victory."

In this way, Chang Sun Chong understood, after all, Datang has its own sound judicial system and judicial institutions, and it is better to leave it to them to arrest people and try cases.

Besides, if there is a conflict with the villains of Li Jingmen in arresting people, they will blow a few winds when the emperor is free, and drive away the relationship between the father and son of the Tian family, then the loss outweighs the gain.

Although I really don't want to admit it, judging from the experience of dealing with them in the past, these guys who have no bottom line are indeed very talented in this respect.

"Your Highness, those princes and nobles have sent a lot to the East Palace these days, do you see this?"

Although he knew that these guys were weasels giving chicken New Year greetings, he had no good intentions and came to inquire about the situation in the name of visiting the sick.Now that the prince woke up, if he didn't return a gift, it would be unreasonable both emotionally and rationally.

Besides, they really spent a lot of money, especially Li Tai and Li Ke. The gifts they gave almost piled up a hill, for fear that others would not know about their elder brother's illness.

Speaking of these people, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sneer. He had seen those gift lists, and he had never even seen some things before.

"Double rebate, half a month later, I will give a banquet in the East Palace, and I will send them all the posts." After speaking, Li Chengqian dropped another son, "Cousin, you lost."

"Your Highness, is it enough to return the gift? It is impossible for your body to recover in a short period of time. Isn't that the empress?" If you dare to be better, you just want to toss, can you not drink at the banquet?

If my aunt finds out about this and doesn't skin him, it will be really worry-free.Having said that, what is there to drink with those villains, who can guarantee that they did not participate in this incident.

"Cousin, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. The ups and downs of the officialdom, the advancement and retreat of honor and disgrace, you are not ready enough! Be cold in your heart, smile on your face, and learn more from the house. You are the real prime minister who can support you." Where's the boat?"

Li Chengqian had always had high hopes for his cousin Changsun Chong, especially when he woke up and learned from Zhang Sizheng what he had done in the past few days, not to mention that this guy is really a good player at critical times.

Besides, this guy will marry Li Lizhi sooner or later, even if it is for the girl who grew up in his arms, he has to be cultivated well.
