No shortage of walls

Strategic balance. It's easy to say. But the workload is very heavy, and Liu Gongquan, the king of spies, must be very hard.

Therefore, Song Xing said:"You should find more deputies to help. Liu Guo is really not as good as you in this regard."

Liu Gongquan said:"Your Majesty! To be honest, it is difficult to find people from the Ministry of National Security. Until now, Wei Chen still feels that there are not enough people and deputies are not enough." I'm looking for the secrets of the Liu Kingdom as much as I do, but I can control the overall situation far better than I do."

Song Xing nodded. He said:"That old guy is probably used to greed. I remember last time you said that there was a junior official from the third grade in the Ministry of Rites. How did the investigation go?"

Liu Gongquan said:"I found it out. It's not that Liu Chengwen meant to suppress it, it was just too much. He is too young, he is only twenty-nine this year. Although he is good at dancing, he is also upright. But his qualifications are there, it is not good to get the position too early, and he has already reached this point at the age of twenty-nine. It is too fast, but Last time when the emperor first ascended the throne, more than half of the imperial court was damaged, and it was brought up from below." He naturally knew what he was talking about, but at the age of twenty-nine, he started to rise to the first rank and gradually succeeded Liu Chengwen. It was really not possible..

Song Xingdao:"Next year at the new court meeting, you mention him, and I will personally arrange for him to do something; firstly, to see his ability, and secondly, to shock Liu Chengwen; today I said that I will kill the whole family of Dragon Quan, I hope he understands. If From now on, I will stop. I will take note of his merits and ignore him. If he still reaches out to the treasury, I will not spare him. How much do you think a person will spend in his lifetime?"

Liu Gongquan said:"I want to pay an official in the Song Dynasty. In total, it is probably higher than that of the Xia Kingdom, the richest country in the world. The main reason is the 50% increase in salary from His Majesty, and the gift of heaven. Pigs and mutton are given out every year. The salary of a first-class official means that he can eat three meals a year. He can't eat for years. He is greedy for so much money. It's just greed. Life is nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun. How can he use so much money?"

Song Xing said:"High salary can't support Lian, so forget it."

Liu Gongquan said:"Let's let him go next year. Liu Guoti is better than your subordinates."

Song Xing nodded. He said:"You should keep an eye on him. You don't have to do anything when the time comes. Leave it to Mr. Huang Quan and he will handle it according to the law."

Liu Gongquan said:"Yes! Your Majesty!"

As for Mr. Huang Quan, the abbot of the country, he I'm very relieved, this guy doesn't care about humanity at all. Those who bump into the hand will read the Song Dynasty Laws one by one and care about them one by one. They will never wrong others and hold themselves upright, just like a benchmark.

Song Xingdao:"How is the state of Qi?"

The state of Qi is in great trouble. Because they use a high-pressure policy against Yue and Wu, if they send spies there young, they will be arrested as laborers. If they send women, they are afraid of being raped by soldiers, so the spies have no way to play their role. Now we can only send spies with a few years. Old sergeants, some of the old members of Prince Jing's old army; quietly passed by from Gyeongju, passing as refugees and beggars. Although the old sergeant is very good at this. However, the Qi people had no business with the Song State in Qingzhou, and it was very troublesome to keep an eye on them all the time. As for the Qi State itself, there were some achievements.

Song Xing was silent for a while. Said:"We still need to deal with Donghu privately and let Donghu influence Qi State. As for the business, you have to try your best to find out the news and make the decision. Now we are the one to spread the news. We can just send the newspaper directly. Is it troublesome to receive the news? ?"

Liu Gongquan said:"It's okay at last. They are careful. There is nothing they can do if they are slow. In short, the ministers try their best to contain Qi."

"How is the matter with the third prince?"

Liu Gongquan said:"There are many people in the court who support Wu Ying's matter. However, the third prince's mother has not mentioned her taste yet. It should be rumored by the court officials. Further news has not been sent back. It is probably because there are many spies in the Song Dynasty. The defense was very tight. After returning to Beifeng Mountain last time, they were afraid that the Qi people would retaliate and kill people, so many spies were withdrawn. There are only a few who don't want to come back, but only two are still alive, the others are dead, and those who have passed away are all newcomers. The two kingdoms of Wu and Yue were really difficult. The second prince of Qi State is extremely talented and resourceful, and is very difficult to deal with. Song

Xing said:"Does Li Yueming have any descendants?""

Liu Gongquan said:"There is a daughter who is the eldest daughter, and a son who is the youngest."

"take good care of! He sacrificed his life for the country and cannot let his descendants suffer."

"Yes, Your Majesty! They have always been well taken care of, they are all old people, they understand."

Song Xing was speechless. His father had always taken good care of his former subordinates, and he knew that Liu Gongquan had also done a good job. After a while, he said:"Give me a death order and notify the people of the Ministry of National Security. If it is too dangerous, it is better to take it back first. , they are all my heroes, there is hope if they survive.

Liu Gongquan said:" Your Majesty!" All for the Song Dynasty! All for Your Majesty! Personal life and death no longer matter!"

Song Xing had no choice but to say nothing. He knew the role of spies, but the Ministry of National Security was established not long ago, and the people it uses. If they are not people who left the old manor early, they are spies from the former army; and then there are the people who were selected from the old army. Old people or descendants who are trustworthy, even Song Yu's 3,000 garrison, more than 200 of them were taken away by Liu Gongquan. The old people know themselves and the enemy, and there are many trustworthy people. Now they are starting to train them too slowly. What the Ministry of National Security does is Things in the dark cannot be used without absolute trust. When you enter the industry, you will know that you will spend your whole life in doubt and being doubted, for the Song Dynasty and for Your Majesty. Facing the torture and death of the enemy, there is no absolute Faith cannot do this job, which is why the Ministry of National Security does not have enough manpower so far.

If Song Xing was the prince, Liu Gongquan could start preparations early, but he was only the prince, and Prince Jing did not have much Money to maintain.

In fact, this step was not thought of from the beginning, certainly not that the emperor would establish a Ministry of National Security; even the emperor suddenly became the emperor. The military spies Liu Gongquan retained back then were all dead soldiers of Prince Jing. They didn't want to follow any general and would rather go home to farm. Secret spies in the army were always top secret. Even if Prince Jing didn't tell him, the emperor wouldn't know about it. Since they were unwilling to serve the new commander, they brought them back and Liu Gongquan arranged for them to come down. , just thinking of Prince Jing's kindness, he stayed in the capital to inquire about the dark affairs of senior officials, in order to prevent the situation from changing in the future, and to save the life of the commander.

However, although he could not save the life of the commander, the prince became the emperor, and Song Xingchu came to Bao The throne, the court was seriously damaged, and all the evidence of the crime was the work of the old spies in the army of King Jing.

As a dead soldier of King Jing, the prince became the emperor. Of course he was loyal. The problem was that everything happened suddenly. There was really not enough manpower.

It's not that I want to be a spy. I can do it if I am loyal. If I don't have the ability, I will die as soon as I go abroad.

Song Xing established a department that has never been heard of by people throughout the ages. It goes beyond the six civil and military prime ministers. A department, of course, had its own spies in each department before, but it was unheard of to set up a national security department for spies. Where would there be time to prepare? It's not like the prince made preparations first when he was crown prince.
