Late Tang

(Thank you Lin Zhuhou for your reward, thank you!)

At the other end of the corridor of Li Jingnan's study are the offices of Sun Lan, the Prime Minister of the Supervisory Office, and the Director of the Attendant Office.

At first, the attendant's room was just a group of army staff, secretaries, recorders and translators who accompanied Li Jing during the war, and their tasks were to deal with various official documents.However, as Li Jing's power has risen sharply over the years, the attendant's room has been expanding day by day, just like the Supervision Office.

By the second year of Yuanhe, the attendant office had been expanded into three divisions, the head guard's office, and the counselor's office. The first attendant was in charge of military and intelligence-related business, the second attendant was in charge of civil affairs and judicial related affairs, and the third attendant was in charge of personnel affairs, assessment affairs.The chief guard's office is in charge of the affairs of the guards around Li Jing, and the counselor's office is dedicated to researching strategic issues, which is actually an intellectual support group.These three second chambers are equivalent to a small joint department of the Qin and feudal dynasties that follows Li Jing anytime and anywhere. Since Li Jing, the king of Qin, has actually formed his own family and is the unfettered king of the kingdom of power, he follows Li Jing closely. Although the attendant room next to it is just an attendant organization, they can make suggestions on various aspects inside and outside the Qin Dynasty, including military, civil, criminal, and personnel matters, and even make their written opinions on the decisions of various ministries. Therefore, sometimes they can even influence and sway Li Jing's promotion and dismissal of various important matters, even personnel matters, and their influence is by no means ordinary.

Therefore, within Qin Fan, this increasingly influential attendant room was even called a small cabinet in private.The ranks of the officials in the three divisions and the second chambers are not high, almost all are below the fifth rank, but their influence sometimes even exceeds those of the six ministers and ministers.

Now that Li Jing is going to personally conquer Bohai again, the attendant's room is becoming more and more busy.The chief guard Wang Shi, the deputy chief guard Zhao Jiang, the commander of the guard camp Li Liu, and the commander of the garrison battalion Li Shan are all discussing the security work on the marching road.Although the king of Qin was accompanied by the six guards, whether it was the Jinjiashengjie army of the upper three armies, the silver gun effect Jie army, the three guards of the guards, or the three guards of the inner three armies, they were all numerous and elite.However, the attendant department is also one of the three internal armies. Although they are small in number, they are the same as the Secret Service, guarding King Qin closely, and they are even more personal than the Secret Service.

Except for the earliest special team member Zhao Jiang, the deputy head of the bodyguard, Wang Shi, the head of the bodyguard, Li Liu of the guard battalion, and Li Shan of the garrison battalion were all the young people who followed Li Jing out of Wangli Village at the beginning.It's just that at that time Wang Shi was still called Xiao Shitou, Li Liu was called Li Liugen, and Li Shan was called Li Xiaoshan.Over the years, they are all generals with the rank of fifth rank now, and all three of them still hold the title of earl.

They can be said to be the most loyal to Li Jing.

Wang Shi, who was not yet thirty, finished his discussion with his subordinates and picked up a report that he had just sat down. This is the itinerary for King Li Jing of Qin that day. They researched and worked out a safe travel route based on the itinerary for the day. , This is the most important thing in the chief guard's room, and it is also the first thing every day.Li Jing has always been more cooperative with the itinerary of the chief guard's room, but it must be sent there early, so that Li Jing can read the report while having breakfast after getting up in the morning.However, King Qin Li Jing didn't have any plans to go out on his itinerary today. The expedition plan had already been made, but no matter how fast it was, it would still take some time for the soldiers to gather on the boat on King Qin Island. Li Jing didn't need to go there so early.Moreover, on Yanjing's side, the left-behind personnel have been appointed, but there are still many things to be arranged.Li Jing's itinerary today is full, and he will meet all the civil and military officials in the palace.

Since the bell rang, it was six o'clock in the morning.

Following the sound of orderly and vigorous footsteps, Li Jing appeared in the South Study Room on time in a high spirit.

Wang Dong was standing in front of the corridor wearing a shiny half-armor as straight as a spear. Beside him, the three divisions of the attendants' room and the chief officers of the counselor's room were already standing there with a briefing paper between them.

The first briefing in the morning is the first job of the three second rooms.

Sun Lan, the Prime Minister of the Supervisory Office, also appeared in front of the corridor. She was wearing a hu skirt with narrow waist and narrow sleeves, and a calfskin jacket with a lapel collar. The fiery red color made this woman in charge of the Supervisory Office and became King Qin's eyes and ears. The more glamorous and charming, it is not obvious that this woman is much older than Qin Wang.Although she is very beautiful and charming, no one looks at her more, because she is not only the prime minister of the Supervision Office, but also one of the four duchesses of Qin Fan, and she is also the mother of the No. 30 eighth son of King Qin.

Li Jing ate with the staff in the attendant room in the morning, and Gongsun Lan was sitting next to him.The breakfast is not very rich, but there are quite a few styles, basically all of which are in line with Li Jing's favorite types, including white porridge and fried dough sticks, as well as bean curd, soy milk, fresh milk, goat milk, seaweed soup, mutton soup, mixed Powder, jelly and so on.Li Jing chose one serving of milk, one serving of seaweed soup, one serving of rice flour and two eggs this morning.

While peeling the tea eggs, Li Jing looked at the six briefings he had just received. These six briefings were simply the five from the third and second offices of the attendant's room and the daily one from the Supervisory Office.He was the first to read the five briefings from the attendant's room. He was the first to read the itinerary of the chief guard's room. However, there was no going out plan for today's itinerary, so there was nothing special about it. He glanced at it and closed it.

Then I looked at the briefings of the [-]st, [-]nd and [-]rd offices of the attendants. Their daily briefings are actually some decisions and plans for the relevant ministries of the Qin Fan, making their notes and some suggestions. Li Jing watched carefully and had some opinions. He spoke very sincerely, and he stopped from time to time to mark it with a red pencil and leave instructions.

After he finished reading the five briefings in the attendant's room, he had almost eaten his breakfast, and there was just a bowl of seaweed soup left.

Li Jing sipped the soup while flipping through the briefing from the Office of Supervision.

After just looking at it for the first time, Li Jing's right hand holding the spoon stopped there involuntarily, frowning tightly.Then, he put down his spoon and began to carefully read the short briefing. After a long time, Li Jing closed the briefing, fell silent for a moment, took a gulp of the cold seaweed soup, got up and went to the study.

Several chief officers in the attendant room began to return to the office. Only Gongsun Lan, with a hint of a smile on her lips, drank the goat milk in the bowl slowly, took a napkin to wipe her mouth, got up and went straight to the office. Go to Li Jing's study.She walked along the corridor with inlaid marble floors, and the hum of conversation came from the rooms on both sides. Qin Wang's South Study Room was not a small palace, and this place was a very busy center.

At the end of the corridor, Gongsun Lan stopped in front of the door, she knocked lightly, and the eight guards at the door stood there like sculptures, as if they turned a blind eye to her.After a while, the door opened, and two young women led her in. Gongsun Lan smiled at the two.They are not ordinary court ladies, but female secret service members. Not only are they highly skilled in guarding, they are also proficient in assassination and other skills, and they are also capable of taking on the duties of temporary confidential staff at any time.Here, they are not only powerful guards, but also ordinary court ladies, and may even be a wise man.

Li Jing didn't look up, he was concentrating on looking at the documents in front of him, he didn't seem to notice that his chief intelligence adviser entered the study room at all.

Gongsun Lan didn't bother, she stood quietly three feet away and waited.

It took almost half an hour before Li Jing raised his eyelids from the big desk.

"Good morning, Alan."

"Good morning, Your Highness!" Gongsun Lan stepped forward and handed over a thick report in her hand, "This is a detailed report on that incident!"

Li Jing took it, this time he just looked at it a few times casually, and then threw it aside.The briefing Gongsun Lan handed over in the morning and this detailed report both actually recorded one thing, that is, the reconnaissance records of the officials.The above clearly recorded the words and deeds of the officials in the DPRK and China, and the complete dialogue between Cui Yunqing and Yu Cong's study room was recorded verbatim.

In addition, there is also a copy of the evidence on Wang Gai and his son's illegal distribution of goods and reselling supplies.

Li Jing didn't just know this.

In fact, the Office of Supervision is a very powerful organization, whether it is internal or external, from officials to civilians, this is a powerful network, after years of development, it is now becoming more and more tight.It's just that the nine divisions of the Office of Supervision have always been independent of each other, and there is no real unified command. The divisions check and balance each other, and the balance is very good. In recent years, Gongsun Lan has been coordinating in the middle, and she doesn't have too many selfish desires, so The Office of Supervision, an institution, has not shown their power to too many people.

But Li Jing, who is the only one who truly leads this force, observes the inside and outside clearly through it at all times.

Few people know that Li Jing has known about Wang Gai and his son's prostitution activities for a long time, but Li Jing has never touched him.It's not that Li Jing appeases and raises Jiang Jian, but that Wang Gai is just a small fish, and the crime he committed is not too big.It doesn't make sense to shoot directly.On the contrary, Li Jing deliberately kept him, just to catch a big fish.No matter what it is, it is always best to plan ahead and pre-set ambushes.

Wang Gai's elder brother is Wang Pu, and his niece is the mother of Li Jing's eldest son. Surrounding the concubine's eldest son, Li Dezhao, a huge interest group is constantly expanding, and Li Jing sees all this in his eyes.It's just that Li Jing has drawn a line, a red line, as long as they haven't crossed that red line in a day, Li Jing will not do anything.

But now it seems that things are getting more and more intense, and they are getting closer to this red line.

Wang Gai had already surfaced. He was being watched by too many people. Li Jing snorted coldly and shook his head slightly.idiot!

If he just buys some goods and lends some usury, Li Jing will not touch him.When the water is clear, there are no fish, especially at this stage, at the level of Li Jing and Wang Pu, things will not be simply divided into two, and everything has to be considered holistically.But if Wang Gai is already bleeding and is being targeted by a group of sharks, then he can be abandoned because he has been guiding the sharks.

"Alan, notify the six gates, arrest Wang Gai and his son immediately, and put them in custody for interrogation. Remember, it must be an iron case with sufficient evidence." Li Jing tapped the case on the table, paused for a moment, and said: "Notify the political affairs again. Tang, let them immediately carry out the plan to merge the six prefectures of Tianping, Xuanwu, and Yicheng into the Shandong Province, and Xusi and other seven prefectures to form Huaisi Province separately. Well, a little change, Huaisi Province is changed to Huaihai Province Province, Yu Jing was appointed Governor of Andong Province, and Yu Cong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was appointed Governor of Huaihai Province!"

Gongsun Lan nodded and recorded Li Jing's words, "Your Highness is going to hit [-] big boards each?"

"It's to pour some water on them to cool them down, so as not to keep their heads from getting hot." Li Jing knocked on the table and said coldly.Li Jing made a move to show everyone that he is the one who has been in control of the situation. (To be continued.)
