Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 185 Chapter 180

The importance of intelligence work is unquestionable. An excellent intelligence officer is worth a hundred thousand troops. Any qualified commander will not underestimate the collection of intelligence. This is also very clear to Yinzuo. Because of this, he That's why I can't tolerate this failure—it's been sixteen years since Yinzuo came to this dynasty. Although he has suffered setbacks, he has never suffered such a miserable defeat. Not to mention that Yinzuo almost fell into a trap. Even the loss of those outstanding intelligence personnel made Yinzuo's heart bleed.

It is impossible not to retaliate, not to mention that Yinzuo was originally a very vengeful person, even if he wanted to give an explanation to his dead subordinates, Yinzuo had to do something, besides, to eradicate the fourth and eighth gang The dark forces were originally a must to seize the throne, but the revenge action not only requires a lot of preparation work, but also needs to wait for the opportunity. Of course, the first thing to do is to reorganize the "Honghu".

Yinzuo has no shortage of loyal subordinates, whether it is martial arts fighters or intelligence personnel, Yinzuo has a complete training mechanism, and it is not a problem to supplement these two types of personnel, but Yinzuo lacks people who can control the overall situation. Great Talents: Taking Wu Sidao and Lin Xuanyi's abilities to take charge of the intelligence work is a little overkill. Besides, Yinzuo can't do without them. They are generally in charge of "Honghu" and "Dark Arrow", and they can't cover everything. It is even more impossible to fully intervene in the specific affairs of these two organizations; Liu Chang'e?Yes, he has certain abilities, but he is still far from Yinzuo's requirements. Although "Honghu" was created by Liu Chang'e, with the growth of "Honghu", Liu Chang'e's ability can no longer keep up with the needs of the situation. This serious dereliction of duty cannot be punished.

Yinzuo weighed it over and over in his heart for a long time, filtered out the group of people under his command, and now he had some calculations in his heart, looked at Liu Chang'e who was still kneeling on the ground, sighed and said: "Chang'e, you have been with this king for many years Now, knowing this king’s nature, you are bound to be guilty of negligence this time, and this king can’t forgive you. How about it? After all these years, you have worked hard with this king, so let’s start now,’ You don’t have to interfere with Honghu’s affairs, just work with your father to take care of Fuyuanji.”

It stands to reason that Liu Chang'e committed such a serious crime, even if he died, it would be difficult to apologize for his crime. However, Liu Mingchuan's family is still loyal to Yinzuo, and they have done their best to manage Yinzuo's properties over the years. He did such a great job, at least he couldn't do without Liu Mingchuan's assistance before he took over the position; secondly, although Liu Chang'e made a mistake, it was not a heinous crime such as surrendering to the enemy, and Liu Chang'e was also considered a business genius, and Yin Zuo also I don't want a business talent to die like this, so it's just to expel him from the "Honghu".Liu Chang'e originally thought that his death crime was inevitable, and his heart was always tugging. He didn't expect Yin Zuo to let him go so easily. He was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears: "Thank you, Master Hongen, this slave will do his best. I will never do it again." Let the master down, slave..."

Yinzuo interrupted Liu Chang'e's loyalty with a wave of his hand, and said calmly: "The king has given you the opportunity, and it's up to you whether you cherish it or not. Today, you can hand over 'Honghu' to number four. From now on, I don't want to hear someone say that you meddled with 'Honghu' again or mentioned 'Honghu' to others, otherwise don't blame me for not showing affection." Yin Zuo paused, and looked at a man in blue The masked man in the clothes said: "No. [-], from now on, you will just restore your real name. This king has entrusted 'Honghu' to you. Don't let this king down."

No. [-] came out, raised his hand and took off the black hood on his head, revealing a young but ordinary face, coupled with a figure that was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, if he mixed into the crowd, he would be Everyone is silent, even if you have seen his face, you will not have any special impression of him.No. [-] knelt down with a calm expression, and simply said: "Yes, the slave obeys." Then he stopped talking.

No. 13's real name is Sun Chengfu. When he was six years old, he first entered the "Mongolian School" run by Yinzuo. He joined the "Arrow in the Dark" at the age of [-] and has served in the "Arrow in the Dark" for five years. He is one of the first batch of "Arrow in the Dark". He was selected because of his super learning ability and calm personality.

"Very good." Yinzuo was extremely satisfied with Sun Chengfu's expression of indifference, nodded and said: "Chengfu, you will go back to the city with Chang'e to hand over the work, and the current work focus of 'Honghu' is to rebuild , there is no need to participate in this operation, and find out the 'nails' that got in and erase them all. Go." Sun Chengfu knelt down here and kowtowed: "I understand." The gloomy Liu Chang'e left the house and went back to the city.

Yinzuo can let Liu Chang'e go, but he will never spare Liu Mingqi - the intelligence organization designed by Yinzuo has always followed the principle of the chain of command, that is, subordinates only know their immediate superiors, unless it is necessary, otherwise There will be no connection between them, only the superior knows all his subordinates.In this way, it is almost impossible to follow the vines and trace back from bottom to top. Once something is not harmonious, you only need to erase an intermediate link, and all the clues will disappear. If there is a problem in the intermediate link, you can Only his subordinates and direct superiors were betrayed, leaving enough time for "Honghu" to respond.Although this kind of chain of command organization is direct, clear, and easy to command, it is not perfect. The only flaw lies in the high-level personnel inside the organization. Once someone betrays, the line they are responsible for will be completely destroyed. .

There are not many people who have access to all the secrets of the three groups of capital A, B, and Kui. Apart from Yinzuo himself, there are only three people, Wu Sidao, Liu Chang'e, and Liu Mingqi. "There is only Liu Mingqi alone, and what makes Yin Zuo even more worried is that Liu Mingqi not only knows the secrets of the capital's front line, but because he is in charge of information sorting and archiving, he also knows a lot of organizational secrets in other places. If he cannot be eradicated now, the consequences will be serious." Unbelievable.

Liu Mingqi must still be alive—Yin Zuo didn't have much contact with Liu Mingqi, but he still knew him well. This person had always been careful and shrewd.Although Yinzuo doesn't know why this person betrayed, but since he dared to betray Yinzuo, he must have a magic weapon to save his life. It is very likely that some of Yinzuo's organizations in other places may even be those secret laboratories in "Honghu" No matter what, Yin Zuo couldn't tolerate this person living in this world.

Yin Zuo's "Dark Arrow" is divided into four groups, each led by four "Arrows". Each group is responsible for different tasks. He is a master, and number one is in charge. Number one is not only the person in charge of the first group, but also the organizer of the actual work of the entire "Dark Arrow"; Wei; the fourth group has the largest number of people and is responsible for investigating the dynamics of all parties.According to the plans of each group, Yin Zuo quickly issued a series of orders, with only one request - find Liu Mingqi's hiding place, wait for Yin Zuo's notice before launching an offensive, and see people alive and corpses dead.This time Yin Zuo not only wants to use Liu Mingqi as a model, but also prepares to destroy "Junling" and "Blood Droplet" as much as possible, so as to prevent the fourth and eighth children from ever turning over again. A chance is needed, but Yin Zuo believes that the chance will come soon, because the court situation has begun to be chaotic.

On September 40rd of the 23th year of Kangxi, the second day after Grandpa Kangxi issued an edict to heaven and earth to depose Prince Yinfeng, Tong Guowei, the head of the ministers in the study room, the minister of the guards, and the scholar of the Wenhua Palace, sent a memorial to request the grandpa of Kangxi to register the East Palace as soon as possible. With the heart of reassuring all officials, Mr. Kangxi only approved three words on the memorial-"I got it." As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials were even more confused, and they didn't understand the old man's "I got it" What does it mean? Ever since, the courtiers became commotion again. For a while, there were a lot of visitors at the minister's home in the study room. As for the number of people who came to the door of the elder brothers, there were countless speeches, or full of promises. extraordinary.

Tong Guowei has been in court for a long time, and there are many disciples and old officials. In addition, he is the head of the courtiers, relatives of the emperor, and he is the person who has the most visitors. Whenever anyone asks who the holy will belongs to, he just smiles and does not answer, but says: "The Holy Majesty To rule the world with benevolence, the virtuous should share the worries." There is nothing special about this remark, but the word "virtuous" is a little bit more emphatic.Anyone who can gain a foothold in the court is not a person who is good at drilling. Hearing the sound, he naturally knows the elegance. This word naturally refers to the eighth elder brother Yinhu who is known as the "Eight Sage Kings". The voice of supporting Yinhu suddenly rose , There is a lot of clamor in the dust, and there is no difference for a while.

Although Zhang Tingyu, the Minister of the Upper Study, was on duty in the palace, there were not a few court officials who went to harass him under the guise of official business, but Comrade Xiao Zhang was young, but he was mature. Comrades always keep silent or talk about other things, no one can figure out which elder brother the comrade intends to protect; Ma Qi has always claimed to be sick at home since he left the palace on September 21, closed Thank you at the door, no matter whether it is a student, an old official or an envoy sent by the brothers, he will never see him; Li Guangdi is on the contrary, he will see whoever comes to the door, and he will say anything, but he will not talk about supporting the crown prince. No matter who asks who should support him Brother, this old man praised each of his elder brothers one by one, from the third to the fourteenth. He said good things about every elder brother, and all of them were to the point, but it was all nonsense. The big guy listened to it for a long time At the end of the day, I still don't understand which elder brother this old man intends to support as the prince; the two masters, Wang Zhen and Miao Tong, and the servants of the fourth brother Yinzhen are running around, clamoring loudly to rectify the name of the deposed prince Yinfeng , many listeners, but few responders.

The old man's abacus Yinzuo is very clear in his heart, isn't it just relying on the power of a hundred officials to force the old man Kangxi to submit?In the time and space of Yinzuo’s previous life, Lao Ba’s trick failed, and it’s even more impossible to succeed in this time and space—not to mention whether it’s military exploits or political achievements, Lao Ba is far inferior to Yinzuo, even if the big guy is the same , Lao Ba's strategy is also wrong, the reason is very simple: Mr. Kangxi is a powerful emperor, and he is an extremely shrewd person, how can he allow others to snore like thunder beside his bed?The more Lao Ba made a fuss, the worse he fell in the end, but then again, Lao Ba did this out of necessity. He took the route of gaining power, and all he could use was the power of a hundred officials. , trying to use power to force the old man to submit, now that the crown prince has just been abolished, it is the best opportunity for Lao Ba, and if Yinzuo is in Lao Ba's position, I am afraid that the only way to go is to go to Huashan.

Going up Huashan Mountain is very good, very powerful, and sounds good, but if you fail to go up and fall down, the consequences will be a bit unbearable. Naturally, with the wisdom of Lao Ba, you can't fail to see this, but he still dares to do this To do it, there must be something to rely on.Yinzuo, Wu and Lin, two counselors, analyzed for a long time, and came to a conclusion - if the old man can't climb the mountain, once he falls down, he must pull people to back him up, and the person who takes advantage of him is most likely Yinzuo, What they rely on must be the secrets in Liu Mingqi's hands.Once the old man is being chased and beaten by the old man, he will definitely throw something that is extremely unfavorable to Yin Zuo to divert the old man's attention. If the other two are abolished one after another, I'm afraid the court situation will really be in turmoil, and the old man's own face may be lost.Therefore, no matter whether it is to keep the secrets of the organization or break the last possible barrier of Lao Ba, it is necessary to completely eliminate Liu Mingqi and destroy "Junling".

On September 40th, 24th year of Kangxi, the time for the first morning court after the abolition of the prince finally arrived in different people's expectations. The courtiers who had been waiting in the court room had been talking a lot, and they were all full of energy and worked hard. I plan to perform well in the court hall and strive for a support.The third elder brother has a calm expression and a smile on his face, the eighth elder brother is full of energy and smiles, shaking the folding fan in his hand, looking like a good boy; the fourth elder brother has a steely face and a firm face, like a fighter who is about to set foot on the duel field; others Elder brother is always chatting about the weather or poetry, but he never mentions the possible storm in the court for a while, only Yin Zuo is sitting lazily in the corner playing with a handful of green jade as the bone and silk as the face fan, with an indifferent look.

As soon as the morning court time came, the big guys didn't wait for the eunuchs to shout for the court, but Qin Wuyong rushed over to deliver the decree: "There is an order from the Holy Spirit: Today is not an early court, and all civil and military officials have their books to play." , hand over the signature to the room, and the minister of the upper study will copy the abbreviated version, all officials are here to wait for the order, and they are not allowed to leave without permission, hereby!"

No one can figure out what the old man Kangxi wants to do. It’s just that he can’t get up early, and the big guys are not allowed to leave. Although the daily work of each department is handled by doctors and chiefs, there are no ministers and assistants to preside over the overall situation. Wouldn't that be messed up, but the old man has already issued an edict, so if you don't understand it, you have to carry it out, right?With no other choice, the courtiers had no choice but to hand over their memorials to the signing room, and the big guys started discussing in and out of the court room.

There are at least more than 300 officials who are qualified to go to court. Although there are attendants in the signing room, Zhongshu, and many people who are posting Zhongshu are helping, it still took nearly an hour and a half for several ministers in the study room to sort out the abbreviations. When he came out, he hurried to the upper study room to meet the saint.Grandpa Kangxi looked at all the abbreviations with a flat face, and suddenly asked: "Well, there are so many people who protect Yinsi, hey, where are some of your books? Show them all for me to see."

Tong Guowei and others hurriedly presented their papers, the old man looked at it calmly, and said calmly: "Tong Guowei, when did I ask you to recommend Yinhu as the prince? Tell me!"

"Chen, minister, minister..." Tong Guowei looked at the face of the old man Kangxi getting more and more serious, panicked in his heart, knelt down quickly, and stammered: "What I do is out of a public heart, and I dare not pretend to be a saint. Life."

"Don't dare? I think you are very brave. Well, what did you say that the sage ruled the world with benevolence, and the talents should share the worries. Well, talents? Hmph, is Yinhu considered a talent? Why can't I see it? When he came out, his mother was a slave of Xin Zhe Ku Huanyi. How can a person of such background be a prince. The decree: Yinhu colluded with the courtiers, peeped at the tripod, and locked up the clan's mansion for release. The rest of the elder brothers over ten years old are all Kneel outside Qianqing Palace, and do not leave without my will." Grandpa Kangxi gave his order with a cold face, and Li Dequan, who was standing beside him, hurriedly bowed in response, and went to deliver the order without mentioning it.

After disposing of Yinhu, Mr. Kangxi looked at Tong Guowei who was kneeling below him with a cold face and said: "You are the uncle of the country, and I can't bear to punish you too much. I think you are old and sick, so you don't have to go to court again." , go back and recuperate behind closed doors."

Grandpa Kangxi pushed Tong Guowei to the end with a single word. All the ministers of the upper study room were dumbfounded and did not dare to persuade him. They could only watch Tong Guowei thank him and staggered out of the upper study room.Other ministers did not dare to speak, but Wang Jie was not afraid, he walked forward on his knees and said: "My lord, I still want to protect Yinfeng, my minister..." The face of Mr. Kangxi became more and more gloomy, and the gloom made the big guy feel weak in his heart. But Wang Jie still kept talking...
