Chapter 756

What kind of place is the Imperial City Division, but there is almost nothing unclear about those who are officials, and even Wang Yang, a buddy who doesn't listen to anything outside the window, now knows it clearly.

The reason why Wang Yang raised his hands in approval of the Son of Heaven's taking out the intelligence work from the Ministry of War and handing it over to the hands of the Imperial City Department was because the Imperial City Department was a spy agency directly under the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is not like the original intelligence agency, it is just an inconspicuous small department under the Ministry of War, and the information collected must be screened by them. Select what they find useful and submit it to the military department.

It was then transferred by the Ministry of War to its superior department, the most important military institution of the Great Song Dynasty: the Privy Council.

In this political system where official-based formalism is very rampant and inertial thinking is all under the rule of the above. How much attention can a small subordinate department pay to the higher authorities when they submit documents to the higher authorities?

Therefore, the intelligence department of the Ministry of War, even if it goes through a lot of hardships and gets a piece of information stained with the blood and sweat of the outstanding intelligence officers of the Great Song Dynasty, it is very likely that it will only be stuck in the Ministry of War, and it will not be able to attract the attention of a higher-level organization.

As a result, the Great Song Dynasty missed one good opportunity after another and lost a lot of political and military initiative.

However, when the young son of heaven Zhao Xu decided to attribute the function of foreign intelligence collection to the Imperial City Division, it was different.

First of all, the Imperial City Division is a spy agency completely independent of all political institutions of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is only responsible to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and no political institutions and departments have almost no binding force.

What they need to pay is absolute loyalty to His Majesty the Great Song Emperor. And when the intelligence gathering work was assigned to the Imperial City Division, with the rich experience of these organizations that have been engaged in intelligence work for more than 100 years, they will naturally not miss a mistake.

Another very important issue is that when the Imperial City Division delivered the information about the outside of the Great Song Dynasty to the Privy Council.

The Privy Council, on the other hand, did not dare to be as perfunctory and arrogant as it had been in the past with the intelligence agencies under the Ministry of War. Because they are no longer connected to subordinate institutions, but a special department directly under His Majesty the Emperor.

If there are any important clues in this information, and the Privy Council still responds with the same generalized attitude as it used in the past, which leads to bad consequences and situations.

Hehe...... Dingdong, please don't forget, what does the Imperial City Division do, he is also responsible for supervising and reviewing all kinds of illegal and dereliction of duty of the officials and armies in the Great Song Dynasty.

Once the Privy Council's negligence leads to serious consequences and situations, the Imperial City Division will definitely jump out to the emperor as soon as possible to say that the relevant information has been submitted to the Privy Council, but the Privy Council officials and others have done nothing, which has led to serious consequences.

In that case, with the urine of Zhao Xu, the young son of heaven who is becoming more and more powerful, he will definitely be furious, and then, the guys in the Privy Council who are idle and don't will be unlucky.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this information submitted to the Privy Council by the Imperial City Division that the Privy Council, in order to show that it attaches great importance to intelligence work, specially brought out this matter and mentioned it at the time of the court meeting.

However, the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State has been peaceful for a long time, and it is indeed difficult for you to make a group of people who have experienced decades of peace in the Liao and Song dynasties believe that the other party dares to provoke the border.

Moreover, the army did not even step further on Nanjing Road, and if the Great Song Dynasty looked nervous at this time, it would be too embarrassing to lose the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, this matter can only be put on hold for the time being, and the Privy Council is also relieved, anyway, the Intelligence Council has already expressed our attention, and it has been discussed at the court meeting, since everyone has such an attitude, then we cannot be blamed.

What's more, among the many officials in the Privy Council, the vast majority of them also think that this should only be an internal affair of the Liao State, and it really has little to do with the Great Song Dynasty, but since the Imperial City Division has sent it, we naturally have to make a serious concern attitude.

All this, of course, was also sent to Wang Yang through the channel, that is, the pen of His Royal Highness Zhao Ji, the young Duan Wang.

After all, Wang Yang was very concerned about the military mobilization of the Liao State, but, out of prudence, he couldn't say much, let alone fire empty cannons indiscriminately at Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, so he could only inquire from Zhao Ji.

It's just that I didn't expect that although the DPRK and China discussed this matter, they actually had such an attitude, which really made Wang Yang regret in his heart, and he had to admit that the truth is often only in the hands of a few, and he is that minority.

And the more this is the case, the more Wang Yang is sure of the military movements of the Liao State, and there is at least a fifty percent probability that they are coming for the Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Yang's thinking appearance is different from that of ordinary people, mainly because of his brain circuit structure and his Qingqi brain hole that is different from ordinary people.

In his heart, if the public thinks that it is right, he should first stand on the opposite side and think deeply.

Because, the public is more of a blind obedience and herd mentality, not that they have all gone through deep introspection or thinking.

This may also be the biggest reason why Wang Yang has been able to achieve success after success.

"Dare to ask my lord, I don't know what the court thinks of this information and the actions of the Liao State?" The planter stroked the long beard under his chin and asked Wang Yang.

"I don't know......" Wang Yang spread out his hand, with a very helpless expression on his face. The army of the northern tribes has not yet entered the Nanjing Road of the Liao State, and for all the important ministers in the court, they do not think that this is a threat to our Great Song Dynasty. ”

"There are even some officials who think that the internal behavior of the Liao State, why should my Great Song Dynasty have many troubles. He even felt that he should ask His Majesty to issue an edict to inform the boss of the Han Zhongyan Dynasty that Hedong Road must not make a provocative gesture, so as not to anger the Liao State and cause trouble. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yang rolled his eyes with resentment, and then took his finger and pointed to his forehead.

"However, I would like to ask you to use your own minds and think about it, the Liao State mobilized tens of thousands of troops from the northern tribes, and mobilized tens of thousands of elite cavalry from Shangjing to the south, does it really have nothing to do with my Great Song Dynasty, but just play long-distance marching when you are idle?"

"When things go wrong, there must be demon ......" is worthy of being the old partner who has cooperated with Wang Yang and Wang Wushan for the longest time, and finally completely agreed with Wang Yang's guess in his heart.

"Two possibilities, first, Vaxia, and second, Mou Song." The master and caressed his long beard for a long time, staring at the route of the army on the map of Liao, and then followed the target and landed at the junction of the three kingdoms of the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia, and Liao.

"It's just a half chance, though. But Wang is not willing to risk the lives of any of my people in the Great Song Dynasty......" Wang Yang's gaze fell on Youzhou.
