Stunned to see Uncle Tian full of hesitation, and faintly with a resolute gaze, Zhang Cang's heart set off a layer of turbulence!

This guy is actually...

"Doctor Zhang, Your Majesty will summon Imperial Doctor Shi, Tingwei, and Shaofu to the apse to play right."

An old and sharp whisper came from behind him, which finally pulled Zhang Cang back from his shock.

After turning around and seeing the person who came, Zhang Cang also bowed a little rudely: "The eunuch orders the way." ”

After saying that, Zhang Cang glanced at Uncle Tian with deep meaning, and then followed Wang Zhong's footsteps and walked towards the apse of the greenhouse hall.

Speechless all the way, Zhang Cang was thinking about Liu Hong's intention to summon the three of them to meet him, and Wang Zhong spoke softly, interrupting Zhang Cang's thoughts.

"Your Majesty's will, the matter of the provincial imperial eunuch should be carried out in the near future; In the future, I won't have to disturb Dr. Zhang..."

Zhang Cangzi nodded indifferently: "Since Your Majesty has an order, the old man should be a helping eunuch." ”

The court was eagerly awaiting, and it was rumored that the matter of the 'eunuch imperial historian' had been rumored for a long time, and finally a charter was recently set up - the new 'provincial imperial eunuch' belonged to the ya, nominally attached to the imperial historian, and the chief official was concurrently served by the eunuch order.

As for the specific duties of the provincial imperial eunuchs, Liu Hong's explanation to the outside world was that 'supervising the eunuchs in the palace and taking bribes in the midst of the ban'; in this way, the court had no objection to the establishment of this subordinate government that was 'responsible for dealing with the eunuchs in the forbidden palace'.

But as the nominal superior of the provincial imperial eunuch, Zhang Cang undoubtedly knew more about the internal reasons for this matter - when the name of the subordinate was determined, Liu Hong summoned Zhang Cang into the palace, and vaguely expressed a layer of information that made Zhang Cang creepy!

——As the 'imperial history' in the ban, the provincial imperial supervisor needs to learn from the imperial historian in an all-round way, in order to allow the provincial imperial eunuch to establish a framework earlier, the provincial imperial eunuch should share the official files of the imperial historian!

At that time, as soon as Liu Hong's words came out, Zhang Cang fell to his knees in horror, intending to prevent Liu Hong from doing this 'chaotic life' - what kind of 'supervising the eunuchs in the forbidden area', Liu Hong simply wanted to let him replace the imperial doctor and supervise hundreds of officials!

At that time, Zhang Cangdu almost thought that Liu Hong was dissatisfied with the work of the imperial doctor and wanted to warn him!

Fortunately, after Zhang Cang's painstaking persuasion, Liu Hong changed his mind and let go of the plan to let the provincial imperial eunuch share the official files, and instead asked Zhang Cang to cooperate with the eunuch Ling Wang Zhong to pull up the framework of the provincial imperial eunuch.

But Zhang Cang didn't want to believe it anyway, Liu Hong really let go of that plan - according to Liu Hongdi, the composition of the provincial imperial eunuch is not all filled by eunuchs!

At this time, the provincial imperial eunuch, who did not even have a prototype, had already left a deep shadow in Zhang Cang's heart; For the unknown future of the provincial imperial eunuch, Zhang Cang was worried, but he was helpless - the eunuch was already the emperor's domestic slave, and the foreign dynasty had no chance to intervene...

Looking at the slow back of the cloth in front of him, coughing from time to time, Zhang Cang inexplicably felt a palpitation, and was surprised by the fear in his heart: A mere eunuch, how can you make me so frightened...

※※※※※※※※※※

"Qi cultivation kung fu is still not in place..."

Sitting on the edge of the royal collapse in the apse of the greenhouse hall, Liu Hong rubbed his faintly swollen forehead tiredly, and secretly sighed.

Today, in Chang Chao, Liu Hong's original plan did not make a big fuss at all!

According to Liu Hong's original plan, today's Chang Dynasty is mainly to pass the matter of Liu Xinfeng, the Marquis of Tangjie, as the king of Yan, and then let the courtiers and officials accept the reality that the position of King Zhao is temporarily vacant.

As for the matter of internal history, Liu Hong originally only planned to mention it and knock Liu Jie: Lao Tzu has sealed the Hou for you, don't be embarrassed~

As a result, before Liu Hong finished speaking, Liu Jie, the white-eyed wolf, made an excuse - it was so reasonable to find it, which made Liu Hong unbearable!

- The lord gave you the title of marquis, just to let the girl blatantly fool the lord?

No, I couldn't hold back for a while, and the entire court meeting passed in Liu Hongdi's anger...

However, this unplanned anger was not without its gains.

"I didn't let Uncle Tian's stubborn cow seize the opportunity..."

Liu Hong thought proudly in his heart.

After thinking about it, Wang Zhong walked into the hall with a slow pace: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor and the other three are already waiting outside the palace..."

"Hustle."

Looking at Wang Zhong who was walking towards the outside of the hall step by step, Liu Hong couldn't help but think: Do you want Wang Zhong to push behind the scenes and be in charge of the provincial imperial eunuchs?

——That serious injury left an indelible sequelae on Wang Zhong.

In this era of extremely backward medical conditions, Wang Zhong was lucky to avoid complications caused by wound infection and survived; But living in a cold house for a long time in the winter of Layue made Wang Zhong's lungs irreversibly damaged.

After taking Wang Zhong back to the palace, Liu Hong specially found the imperial physician of Changle Palace, who had refused to be treated, to check Wang Zhong's pulse.

The final result was not very good - Wang Zhong's leg was injured in that incident, and then he caught a cold outside the city and fell ill.

The most important thing is: the cold environment, as well as the serious lack of nutrients, made Wang Zhong's organs also fall into the root of the disease; As Liu Hong saw with his own eyes, now that it is close to the beginning of spring, Wang Zhong is still three layers inside and three layers outside, wrapping himself tightly.

An eunuch who can't go all the way is actually not suitable for accompanying the royal family - let others find out that the eunuch who serves the emperor is a cripple, then Liu Hong's face will be lost!

But for this loyal old eunuch, Liu Hong really didn't know how to speak, so that Wang Zhong would not misunderstand what he meant...

"Wait a little longer, wait for my 'KGB' to pull up the shelf, and then let the old eunuch feel at ease to be the head of the secret service."

For the brand-new institution of 'Provincial Imperial Supervisor', Liu Hong can be said to be full of confidence!

In this era when the potential of the eunuch class has not yet been seen, there is almost no difficulty in setting up a department dedicated to intelligence - the political system of the Western Han Dynasty does not exclude eunuchs!

Every Jiuqing belongs to the ya, and there is a corresponding group of eunuchs!

The argument that 'eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics' is also untenable in the Western Han Dynasty; for eunuchs to be favored, the court can only be like Yuan Ang of the Wen Dynasty, like a little daughter-in-law complaining: Your Majesty believes in eunuchs so much, is it because there is no one available in the court?

Liu Hong is very sure that when the provincial imperial eunuch is showing his fangs, whether it is the literati doctor class or the founding hero martial arts class, they will no longer have the heart to find Liu Hong's fault - what they need to care about is how to avoid the eyes and ears of the provincial imperial eunuch to ensure that Liu Hong will not be able to know which concubine's room he spent the night in last night!

Spy politics, because of the arrival of Liu Hongdi, is about to appear in the Central Plains thousands of years in advance!

However, Liu Hong was not stupid enough to set up a brocade guard, or a blood drop or something that could not see the light - the provincial imperial eunuch, as a subordinate of the imperial historian, justifiably established a 'wind collection group', went to all parts of the country, and established an intelligence network openly.

If there is anything that is not glamorous, that is, in the future, every official of the Han family of more than 600 stone will be honored to get an undercover agent who will serve as a counterpart to monitor his every move at home.

In addition, the provincial imperial eunuch does not have any power to deal with emergencies, or even the right to make recommendations - the only power of the provincial imperial eunuch is to report what he sees and hears to Wang Zhong word by word, and then Wang Zhong selects and sends it to Liu Hongdi's ears.

Naturally, for such an institution that acts as 'eyes and ears', Liu Hong has no intention of evolving it into an armed force, and there are no too high requirements for its personnel composition - the eunuchs who are loyal to the top are the management, and the ranger group who are idle and have a relatively light homesickness is the bottom personnel.

For the ranger group, Liu Hong did not worship it as much as he did in the second period of the previous period, nor did he completely regard it as a disaster like the feudal emperors - existence is reasonable, as long as it is a group that exists in the world, it has the necessity of its existence and the usability of disciples.

And this dark group, which was separated from the Mo family and gradually grew into an underground force before the Western Yuan Dynasty, undoubtedly embarked on the crooked path of being a lackey for the powerful and doing evil.

In the investigation of the grain tax incident in Dongshi, Liu Hong discovered an interesting phenomenon: although the officials of the internal history appeared outside the Dongshi in person, they did not take the initiative to 'collect taxes', but waited for strings of copper coins to be thrown into the wooden box in front of him 'automatically and consciously'.

On that day, Liu Hong met He Guangsu by chance in Dongshi, and after talking with him for a while, he also found that He Guangsu, who had been 'covered' out of Dongshi by himself, obediently returned to Dongshi and 'paid' grain purchase tax to several tattered people - those people had disheveled hair, unkempt beards on their faces, and all of them had swords tied around their waists that were obviously more valuable than the robes on their bodies!

After stopping and observing outside the East City for a long time, Liu Hong found that outside every grain store, there were a few people squatting not far away; When someone walks out of the grain store with the grain in their arms, they will consciously step forward, and these people will measure the weight of the grain in the bag and hand over the copper coins in response.

After getting the money, one of these people will be divided, and bring the money to the inner history of the official outside the East City, in front of the official, take out the copper coins in the money string one by one, and after the official makes a coughing sound, put the money back into one, throw the money string into the money box, and put the money taken out before into his arms, return to the East City, and distribute the money in his arms to several partners.

Looking at this complete and orderly operation mode, Liu Hong almost dropped his jaw - this kind of situation is too common in later generations!

- Rebates!

The bureaucrats before the Western Yuan Dynasty had actually learned advanced 'kickback' skills, and used them to buy off the ranger group and do things for themselves!

Liu Hong didn't get angry because of this, or his sense of justice exploded - the first thought that appeared in Liu Hong's mind at that time was 'I can replace him'!

To be precise, since the ranger group can be bought by the 'kickbacks' of the bureaucratic class, it can also be bought by Liu Hong, Wang Zhong, and even the blatant kickbacks of the court!

——Inclusion in the system is the best solution that Liu Hong thought of for the ranger group.

In history, the ranger group was not all as Liu Hong saw, taking the benefits of bureaucrats and wealthy families, and helping these people to oppress the people - in fact, most of the time, the ranger group appeared as the righteous!

Emperor Jing Dynasty Wu Chu Rebellion, the son of Marquis Zhou Bo was ordered to be in danger, was worshiped by Emperor Jing as a captain, and was in charge of quelling the chaos, so he led the troops out of the customs and went to Guandong to quell the rebellion.

On the way to the army, Luoyang heroic drama Meng came to join, and Zhou Yafu, the dignified captain, happily said "Drama Meng wins 100,000 male soldiers" such as a mythical story to describe the importance of drama Meng!

In the more than 200-year history of the Western Han Dynasty, the heroes from the rangers can be said to emerge in an endless stream, and under the contrast of the strength of local officials, wealthy families and ordinary people, the ranger groups generally acted as neutral mediators.

If a corrupt official oppresses a certain person to death, then there will inevitably be a ranger who will stand up and kill the corrupt official's entire family while the night is dark and windy, and then take the head of the person to report to the yamen, and proudly declare that "this is a righteous act".

In such cases, the vast majority of officials would release this ranger on the grounds that 'murder pays for life, and it is justified' that the 'Ren Xia' who is famous in the county and is the master of the name was born.

However, the frequency of the ranger's sense of justice is really a bit unstable - the innocent people who were killed by the corrupt officials are also likely to die at the hands of the rangers who were bought by the corrupt officials...

For such an unstable group, the vast majority of regimes have a headache - any regime pursues stability and stability; The mobility and instability of the ranger community is a real source of reassurance for the regime.

In the original history, as the centralization of the Han family became more and more powerful, most of the ranger groups evolved into mountains and grasses, and bandits were first-class.

But Liu Hong doesn't think that the ranger group is completely useless or completely bad; Liu Hong also knows very well that as long as the 'remaining sons' do not disappear, the ranger group will never be eliminated.

So, instead of trying to exterminate a group that is impossible to eliminate, it is better to consider what can be done to use this group - the characteristics of the ranger who 'do not care about his hometown and have the courage to roam' are enough to impress Liu Hong and try to use it to do something!

Moreover, such a group of people who lick blood at the knife all the year round and have good skills in their own right, let them be scattered among the people and used by local heroes, which is not in the interests of Liu Hongdi; But if you want to say that the rangers become a source of soldiers, it is almost meaningless after all.

- For the army, the most important thing is the nature to obey orders; The Ranger is naturally loose and uninhibited, which determines that he is not destined to become a member of the regular army.

Therefore, Liu Hong decided to use the ranger as the backbone to set up his own intelligence agency.

The adventurous nature of the ranger group makes them not much resistant to long-distance 'expatriates', and the experience of wandering the streets and alleys all year round also makes the ranger group have a certain grasp of people's hearts and human nature.

The humble background makes the storage cost of this group not too high; And for the work of 'listening to intelligence', the ranger group is undoubtedly also competent.

In addition, this move can give the ranger group a suitable opportunity to 'whitewash', integrate it, and solve the problem of social security by the way...

Liu Hong has lost count of the benefits of doing so.

The only problem that may arise should be the organizational discipline of the provincial imperial supervisor in the future.

But it doesn't matter, Liu Hong originally didn't plan to make the provincial imperial supervisor a permanent institution - as long as the provincial imperial supervisor can supervise all the ranger income system before Liu Hong completely solves the way out of the 'Yuzi' group, even if the provincial imperial eunuch can't do anything, Liu Hong is willing to pay that cost.
