Chapter 252: Commander of the Guards
Although Gul Ainur's face was still not very good-looking, his tight brows had been slightly stretched, and he was obviously tempted.
In the end, she is very well-informed! Even if he is far away in Hezhou, he is not in charge of Balasagon intelligence affairs. She also knows the news there. Because within the Division, information about Balasagun is shared.
First, it was Balasagon side, and there was no hall master in charge.
It is also with the Governor's Palace that the pace is getting bigger and bigger, and the ties with all the forces are getting closer and closer. Spies in the Division are becoming more and more scarce. Now the new spies are still being trained, and the older spies are all placed in front of various important generals, princes, ministers, and patriarchs.
If you transfer again, you will waste the previous layout.
Especially the hall master who sits on one side, there are not many people. The number of strongholds that need to be developed is increasing day by day. The Mongolian steppe, Khorezm, the eastern and western Qarakhanids, the Huihe kingdom and other places around the Great Liao are either vast or dangerous.
The hall masters with outstanding abilities were also sent to these places.
Farther away, there are the Xia and Jin kingdoms to the east, and the spies of the Affairs Department have begun to infiltrate there. It is said that the Governor's Office also intends to establish a stronghold of the Affairs Department in Tubo, Tianzhu and other places.
Gul Ainur is aware of these long-term visions. It felt too far away, but she believed that there would be such a day. Because the governor in her heart is omnipotent.
It is for this reason that there is no more hall master to send in the affairs department.
Second, it is also Balasagon's position that is too important. As the heart of the Great Liao Empire, the place where the royal family and nobles are located. The person who sits in this place must be a well-connected person who is smart and careful.
And, more importantly, it must be trusted by the Governor.
Therefore, Balasagon's intelligence affairs were finally handed over to Li Dayi, the escort who followed the governor in his early years.
Gul Ainur knows this person. I heard that he married a woman who was as fat as a pig and had a rough face. Such a figure is hard to find in the realm of Balasagon .
As the eyes and ears of the Governor, the Secretariat is well informed. These hall masters were also very concerned about the position of Balasagon . So in a short period of time, I inquired about Li Dayi's affairs clearly.
Especially knowing that he hadn't even stepped on the door of the affairs department, he was even more unconvinced.
However, although they were not satisfied, they did not dare to question the Governor's arrangement. It's just that in the bottom of my heart, I unconsciously have some resistance to Li Dayi.
Of course, the Governor did not make this arrangement out of cronyism.
Because Li Dayi's advantages are very obvious. In the early years, he followed the governor and was faithful and reliable. The days spent in the Li Mansion were not short, and he had a close relationship with the people. And with Li Zhongshu, who is in a high position in Da Liao, he still lives under the same roof.
With this convenience, we can collect a lot of reliable information that affects the decision-making of the Great Liao.
This is something that no hall master can envy.
In the end, they are not subordinates who have been in the Li Mansion for a long time.
Although, in the opinion of Gul Ainul, the governor did not need to be so secretive at all. In the end, it was a father and son, and it was nothing to get some information. And the governor is so outstanding that he is destined to be a man of great things.
A courtier in a high position like Li Zhongshu would not be without this vision.
So as long as the words are spoken, Li Dayi's identity as a subordinate of the Li Mansion is useless.
More importantly, as Li Dayi remained on duty in Balasagon for longer periods of time. Its weakness in intelligence affairs has become more and more obvious.
After all, unlike most deacons and parishioners, they have been trained for a long time. In gathering intelligence, there is good ingenuity. But that's nothing! Anyway, it's all about those spies, and there is no need for Li Dayi to steal the information himself.
However, as the decision-maker of Balasagon intelligence affairs, he must have a certain ability to screen when faced with a large amount of information.
In this way, among the many complicated information, the most valuable information is selected. Then, according to the priority, it was successively delivered to the Governor's Mansion in Puhua.
If you encounter some major or urgent matters, you must make a decision immediately and make the best prediction. Because his judgment of the intelligence is enough to affect whether the Governor's Office attaches importance to the matter.
This requires both someone to teach and time to figure it out. Someone like Li Dayi, who joined the Department halfway, obviously does not have either.
As a result, the governor had become more and more impatient with his behaviour in Balasagon over time. Especially in the matter of the Great Khan of Naman's resignation to the commander of the Su Guard, the governor was even more furious!
Because of this position, it should be Li Chengji's eldest brother, Li Chengye. The Governor had previously asked the Department of Affairs to secretly contribute to the incident.
In the end, Li Chengye became the commander of the Su Wei Division, which could make it easier for the Affairs Department to infiltrate the royal account. The position of the Li family is also more stable. It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against the tree! The governor was in Khorasan, and there were fewer accusations from the court.
Moreover, Li Chengye has been on duty in front of the king's tent for many years, and he is quite appreciated by the saints. After the evil incident of Yelu Tiyin's murder of Li Zhongshu, in order to compensate the Li family, the saint also promoted him to be the deputy commander of the Su Wei Division.
You must know that since the previous commander of the Su Wei Division was involved in the case of plotting against the princess because of his son, he was sent to Ge Lulu as an official.
The position of commander has always been vacant. Although Li Chengye is the deputy commander, he temporarily assumes the responsibility of the commander.
So in the court, almost all the courtiers thought. It was only a matter of time before Li Chengye became the commander of the Su Health Division.
But where did I think that such a sure thing happened, but there was an accident. A bereaved dog who fled from the grassland, once betrayed the Great Liao and took refuge in the Jurchen Naiban Khan. Quietly, unexpectedly, he got the position of commander.
This is anyone, who wants to break his head and doesn't expect an accident!
But before that, there are still some rumors. Like the eyeliner placed in the king's tent, there was a message. The Holy One favored it! For this, it was also promised. If only he would shoot two hundred wild beasts in one day. and let him be appointed as ruler, and serve before him.
Because the news came from a eunuch who was in charge of raising horses and had a low status. And because it is not so easy to shoot a hundred prey in a day. So Li Dayi didn't care too much about it at first.
It wasn't until the next day, when Qu Zhulu really shot one or two hundred prey, and the saint fulfilled his promise, that Li Dayi came to his senses. But by then, there was no room for manoeuvre.
In addition to this, Gul Ainul also learned a deeper insider.
It is said that at that time, Li Dayi only needed to ask the spies to find the eunuch on duty and inquire carefully. You can know that the riding and archery technique of Qu Qu Lu is very good. And the forest. Before the safari, a large number of wild beasts were driven in.
In terms of the amount of prey in the forest, there are not a few.
Therefore, this promise is very likely to be fulfilled. But because of Li Dayi's negligence, Qu Qulu successfully beat more than 200 beasts and robbed Li Chengye's position in vain.
Later, with the advantage of being close to the water, he offered a lot of greedy words to the Holy Governor that hindered the Governor's Palace.
As a result, the saint repeatedly asked Li Zhongshu about the governor's recruitment of troops in the river. Although the governor is young, he is just a group of Muslims as a pretense to prevaricate the past. But not long ago, the courtiers led by Yeluzizheng. He has made a statement to the saint that he should send officials to Puhua. Implement the same decree as the hinterland of Daliao to govern civil affairs.
Now although the saint has not accepted it, the Yang eunuch who has been bought by the affairs department. It has been revealed that the Holy One is already considering this proposal.
As soon as he got the news, Li Dayi quickly passed it to her through the internal channels of the Affairs Department.
The Governor's side also received a reply in a short time. The first is to urge Li Dayi to try his best to make the saint dispel this idea. The second is to order him to share the information of Balasagon with the surrounding hall masters every ten days. When encountering very important information, the time is shortened to less than three days.
It is also to ask them for the opinions of these hall masters, and weigh one or two. In this way, the best prediction and decision can be made.
If necessary, it can even be reported after a decision has been made.
Although the restrictions are also great, this is enough to show the Governor's trust in him.
Because the hall masters of the other strongholds do not have the right to cut first and then play. Obviously, even if Li Dayi made a mistake, the governor still cared about the old feelings.
Such a governor, Gul Ainur, is more willing to be loyal. For as the Governor's foundation grows stronger, he will certainly treat them in this way, the old ministers who follow their allegiance.
It was for these reasons that she took advantage of the convenience of this information sharing to know the news from Balasagon in great detail.
Speaking of which, this Jeruzi is really having some means. After being deprived of the title of King Yi, he only hibernate for a while, and then he was restless. Not only did he use some means, but the Holy Lord received the down-and-out Naiban Khan-Qu Qu Lu. also made him a celebrity in front of today's saints.
Now, he has become the commander of the Su Wei Division. He commanded 5,000 soldiers and was responsible for the safety of the entire king's tent. Although it is not as good as the guard, it only protects the safety of the Holy One. But the number of soldiers in command is nearly twice that of the guards.
And in terms of status, both are in no particular order.
When he went out on a safari on weekdays, the Holy Lord would send some soldiers from the Su Wei Division to accompany him. The chance to meet Tianyan is no less than that of the guard. There are also queens, princesses and other people of noble status, and there are also soldiers of the Su Wei Division to protect their safety.
Therefore, in terms of influence, the Su Wei Division is even much higher than the Guards Division.
Although the former commander was not favored by the saints, he was unusually favored by the queen. If he hadn't given birth to a confused son, he would have caused a monstrous disaster. The position of the commander is still very stable.
And the current new leader Qu Qu Lu is promoted by the Holy One. In front of the queen, he is also quite favored. Therefore, day and night accompany the saint, and the holy grace is rich.
