Chapter 21: The Wind Catcher

Ziying easily broke into Ma Yun's camp, which made Ma Yun feel a little regretful: Lao Tzu had been training for so long, but his wife easily mixed in. However, this regret was quickly thrown out of the clouds, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and the two of them naturally lingered overnight, and there were endless love words.

The next day, Ziying was ready to mix out again, but Ma Yun was not at ease. So he instructed Li Xiang and Ding Sijin to take a team of guards to temporarily return to the Assassin Mansion, as soon as Ma Yun left, the string that was tight in the whole camp was immediately loosened by half, and from top to bottom, it seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Marshal Arima followed the training, the sergeants were full of energy, and the officers did not dare to be lazy. That's it, after all, those who are soldiers have to train hard, but Ma Dashuai is not idle after training. In the eyes of senior officers, Ma Yun's ability to lead the army to fight is not clear, but in terms of governing the army, it is simply a rare genius in a century, and the methods of cleaning up the army's heart and improving morale are endless, although there are many loopholes, but it still responds to Hu Hansan's words: "High, really high!" "Senior officers such as Li Xiang, Cao Yun, and Ding Sijin, after training in the past few days, have gathered together, not only to find ways to fill those loopholes, but also to follow Ma Yun's train of thought, racking their brains to turn these program-like things into concrete measures that can actually be implemented.

Junior officers are also not idle, and Ma Yun often visits the sergeant's barracks and chats with the soldiers. No one had to accompany him, someone had to introduce him to the sergeant's name, and how many people in the family were; The sergeant was a man there, with a few acres of land at home. These parents are short, and the low-ranking officers don't know it, so the low-ranking officers make up the soldier's information overnight.

The easiest thing in the whole barracks is the ordinary sergeants.

returned to the Thorn History Mansion, and before I could chat with Zhao Jingniang and them, Zhao Pu got the news over there and came over to report to Ma Yun.

After Zhao Pu followed Ma Yun to Yuezhou, he didn't have any specific work at first, just temporarily helped Ma Yun deal with some affairs, just like Ma Yun's secretary. Since he met the person who was suspected of being Li Tang's meticulous work in Yueyang Tower that day, Ma Yun thought about it, and specifically arranged Zhao Pu's work task: he was in charge of the public security situation in Yuezhou, and specially selected dozens of people from the Assassin's Mansion Guards and Yuezhou Arrest to set up a safety inspection team. According to Ma Yun's meaning, that is, the establishment of the Secrecy Bureau during the Five Dynasties period, plus the Ministry of Domestic Intelligence, not only wanted to find out what the people of Yuezhou were thinking and doing, but also inquired about the situation in Yuezhou City, and worked hard to maintain the current situation of stable and united feudalism.

After Ma Yun's work task was assigned, Zhao Pu certainly knew the importance of it, and immediately realized that this department would definitely be a key department in Yuezhou Mansion in the future. The following days have been actively working. It's a pity that this secret bureau itself is not very secretive. It really echoes the old saying: "There is no impermeable wall in the world." "The Secret Bureau, a strategic deployment of great significance in Ma Yun's view, leaked the news in less than 2 hours. Shi Wende pulled Wu Ban and directly found Ma Yun and resolutely opposed Ma Yun's arrangement.

Ma Yun set up this security inspection team with the original intention of searching for information in Yuezhou, and then grasping the people's trends in Yuezhou to serve the formulation of specific policies. Seeing Shi Wende and Wu Ban to advise, Ma Yun repeatedly explained how important and meaningful the work of this safety inspection team is. Wu Ban was quickly persuaded by Ma Yun.

But Shi Wende is different from Wu Ban, Shi Wende is one of the eighteen bachelors of Tiance Mansion, he has been in officialdom for a long time, he is well-informed, and he pointed out the real problem with a sharp point, and directly pushed it back, saying: "Xia Guan naturally thinks that there are naturally many advantages to this safety inspector, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The sage said: The gentleman is frank. On behalf of the heavenly patrol herd, the prince should naturally be upright and bright, and he should hear and hear the right thing, how can he turn the door and send someone to inquire about family affairs and peep into people's privacy! And... ”

Shi Wende glanced at Zhao Pu as he spoke, and continued: "And the responsibilities of this 'safety inspection team' are not clear, may I ask Lord Wang, do the activities of Yuezhou officials also belong to the intelligence of Yuezhou City?" If so, then wouldn't this institution become an organization that monitors the private lives of officials? Doesn't this chill the hearts of officials? ”

"Also, if the 'safety inspection team' discovers some misdeeds, or hears some unfavorable news, does it have the right to arrest and interrogate immediately?"

Ma Yun muttered: "This... This one... ”

Shi Wende continued: "If it is to arrest ordinary people, it is fine, if it is a scholar, what if it is an official? Is it possible to make arbitrary arrests? What if this official is an important minister of the imperial court? Is it possible to make such a hasty arrest? ”

"Lord Wang, if this yamen is in the hands of a sage, it will be fine, but once it falls into the palm of a person with ill intentions and takes the opportunity to blackmail, then it will really be a country."

Zhao Pu beside Ma Yun was also drenched in cold sweat under Shi Wende's forced gaze, and when he argued, Shi Wende's words always said, "What if." "In case of this eventual event, who dares to guarantee the vote, who can argue clearly; If you don't argue, Shi Wende is saying it well now, and I believe that Zhao Pu is loyal, but if something goes wrong in the future, this Shi Wende may hold on to this.

In the end, Ma Yun was speechless when asked, so he had to say, "The security inspection team only has the function of collecting intelligence, not only does it not have the right to arrest and interrogate, but even the surveillance officials have to be recorded." ”

When Shi Wende heard this, his expression was relieved, and he said: "Then Lord Wang, this organization is not suitable to be called the 'Safety Supervision Group', and it should be renamed the 'Wind Catching Room'." If the name is not right, it is not good. ”

This dialogue was the famous "Yuezhou Pair" in the history of Ma Chu, and it was the first conflict between the royal power of Ma Chu and the power of the scholar class. There were only four people present at the time: Ma Yun, Shi Wende, Zhao Pu, and Wu Ban. According to the analysis of later historians, this performance is 2v2 on the surface, but referring to Zhao Pu's later actions, this struggle is actually an unfair 1v3, Ma Yun alone against Shi Wende, Zhao Pu, and Wu Ban. In the face of Shi Wende's prodding questioning, perhaps for the purpose of entrapment, or because Ma Yun had not realized the key role of this department, Ma Yun retreated, and Ma Chu's first spy organization was stillborn.
