Chapter 102: One Singing and One Harmony
Handed over the Detective Division to the commander of Jia Rudao?
When Meng Hui heard this, the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.
Glancing at Jia Nidao, who was bewildered by the second monk next to him, Meng Hui knew that Zhao Yun had definitely not greeted Jia Nidao before, at least he had not passed through the qi.
Is that a temporary idea?
What the Detective Department is doing is very clear to Meng Heng.
In the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council and Zhongshu Menxia were called Erfu (Zhongshu Menxia was the government and the Privy Council was the Privy Council), which was the most important central government organ. The Privy Council has 12 rooms (the north room, the Hexi room, the branch room, the Beijing room, the school reading room, the Guangxi room, the military registration room, the militia room, the officials' room, the miscellaneous room, the horse room, and the small officials' room) to do things separately and perform their duties.
At the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the Zhongshu and the Privy Council were in charge of the two handles of civil and military, and the prime minister was not allowed to pre-military because he did not have the title of privy council. During the Qingli period, he used troops in Western Xia, and was once the prime minister and privy envoy.
With the Great Song Dynasty crossing south to Song Ningzong, the prime minister of the dynasty began to serve as a privy envoy, and since then it has become the custom of the Great Song Dynasty. It is precisely because of the prime minister and privy envoy that the Zhongshu Sect gradually lost its former authority, and the prime minister's authority began to override the hundred officials, second only to the emperor.
As a frontier general, Meng Heng naturally knew that in addition to the twelve officials' rooms in the Privy Council, there was actually a secret agency that only the emperor and the chief and deputy envoys of the Privy Council knew about the Dao, which was the Detective Department of the Privy Council.
In the beginning, the role of the Detective Department was mainly to cooperate with the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Imperial History Observatory to arrest some illegal officials and Jiangyang thieves, and later as the war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia and the Jin Kingdom became more and more intense, the Detective Department gradually evolved into the only agency sent by the Great Song Dynasty to obtain information.
With the destruction of the Western Xia and Jin kingdoms by the Mongols, the short-lived alliance between the Great Song and the Mongols broke down, and the Mongols replaced the Western Xia and Jin kingdoms as the only and greatest enemy of the Great Song Dynasty.
The direction of the detective department's daily reconnaissance is also all aimed at spying on the Mongolian military intelligence. What is the purpose of spying on the military? Naturally, it was in the service of military operations. And Meng Hui, as the commander of the Jinghu Theater, the largest of the four major theaters of the Great Song Dynasty, naturally knew the Detective Division, and the number of times he dealt with him was extremely frequent.
Jia Rudao may not know, but Meng Hui is very clear about what kind of strength the Detective Division has.
It can be said very directly that all the military intelligence and secret agents in the Great Song Dynasty today are basically all from the Detective Division.
The Detective Division not only has a large number of intelligence analysis masters, but also has no shortage of talents from all walks of life in order to obtain intelligence. In particular, to go deep into the north and other places that are now Mongol territory to investigate, it is necessary to have excellent skills. After all, if you don't have good skills and martial arts, you're afraid that you haven't gotten deep into the north yet, so you will break it on the road first, so what's the use?
The ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty did not know the situation of the northern land that belonged to the Great Song Dynasty earlier, but Meng Heng, especially the Detective Division, knew very well. The thieves of the green forest and the people who occupy the mountains are everywhere.
The masters who can enter the Detective Division are all specially selected forbidden soldiers with clean net worth and high loyalty to the emperor, among which the masters of the Detective Division from the inner temple account for nearly eighty percent.
Meng Heng, who has a lot to do with the Detective Department and even relies on the Detective Department in many places, knows better than anyone that the Detective Department is no longer the inconspicuous little official room when the Great Song Dynasty was first established, but has become the deepest behemoth in the Great Song Dynasty.
Meng Hui didn't even know if the Detective Department had arranged someone by his side.
Of course, even if there is him, he is not afraid.
Shi Songzhi is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and Prime Minister Qiao Xingjian is the privy envoy, but neither of them has any binding force on the Detective Department. Today's Detective Division, the actual controller is Zhao Yun's younger brother Rongwang Zhao and Rui.
However, Rongwang Zhao and Rui are just a pretense, and no one in the Song Dynasty knows what to do, Rongwang Zhao and Rui are low-key princes who almost completely ignore their existence. Let Zhao and Rui control the Detective Division, in fact, it's just that Zhao Yun doesn't want others to get involved. The real controller is still him.
Now, Zhao Yun suddenly proposed to hand over the Detective Division to Jia Nidao, such a kind of trust, the government and the opposition, I am afraid that in addition to King Rong, there is only Jia Nidao. Even King Rong Zhao and Rui, Zhao Yun is afraid that he will not trust him too much.
Because Zhao Yun and Zhao and Rui are brothers, they both have the surname Zhao.
His heart was racing, and Meng Heng bowed down and responded: "Your Majesty is Shengming!" ”
Even Shi Songzhi can't interfere in the Detective Division, let alone a general like Meng Heng who has been leading troops all year round. Meng Hui knew very well that the reason why Zhao Yun asked his opinion was only because the four major theaters all needed the cooperation of the Detective Department and relied on the intelligence of the Detective Division, and the Jinghu Theater was precisely the largest, most troop and most important of the four major theaters.
What does Zhao Yun value most? Of course, it's still his country.
What is the purpose of the Detective Division? It's not for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty. What is the biggest threat to the Great Song Dynasty now, the Mongols.
Therefore, Meng Heng knew very well that as long as Zhao Yun wanted to, he would not be able to control who was in charge of the Detective Division, even if Zhao Yun handed over the Detective Division to a woman. And the reason why Zhao Yun asked his opinion was actually the main purpose of hoping that Meng Hui and Jia Yidao could work together to stabilize the Great Song Dynasty.
Of course, Sun Kui's chess pieces that Jia Nidao accepted because of expediency were just an excuse for Zhao Yun to hand over the Detective Division to Jia Nidao.
At the same time, Meng Hui knew better in his heart that Zhao Yun had a more important purpose in handing over the Detective Division to Jia Yidao. Those who attacked Jia Guifei this time, if Jia Rudao wants to track them down, without the help of the Detective Division, I am afraid it will be absolutely hopeless.
Thinking of this, Meng Heng's heart couldn't help but froze.
The emperor is determined to investigate those who dare to attack Jia Guifei to the end.
He didn't think that Jia Yidao, who was in charge of the Detective Division, would be soft on those who poisoned his own sister. Today, how did Jia Rudao pick up Sun Kui, a vicious green forest thief, but he still vividly remembered it!
"Ha Luha, that's it!" Zhao Yun was not the slightest surprise at Meng Hui's reaction, the reason why Meng Hui was able to go from a small soldier to today, in addition to the support of the Shi family, was more important because he had Zhao Yun's trust.
can make Zhao Yun a person who is extremely suspicious and very good at forbearance trust, Meng Hui naturally has his advantages.
"Shi Xian, this detective department will be handed over to you, and I will give an order to Qiao Qing and Shi Qing tomorrow. That Sun Kui and the others, you are in charge of the Detective Division, so naturally there is a method of training. ”
Zhao Yun looked at Jia Rudao and said with a look of satisfaction.
He was worried that Jia Rudao would refuse.
Originally, Jia Yidao, who didn't know the importance of the Ludao Detective Division, if he didn't understand Zhao Yun's words again, then he would really live in vain.
The decree was only given to Prime Minister Qiao Xingjian and Shi Songzhi, not the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and there was a lot of knowledge in between. He was a small Lin'an Mansion general judge, and when he first issued the decree, he knew the Tao of the Manchu Dynasty.
The importance of this detective department being able to make Zhao Yun and Meng Heng pay so much attention to it is obviously far greater than that of the Lin'an Mansion. is such an official rank, but he only knows Qiao Xingjian and Shi Songzhi, Eh, and Meng Heng, and the meaning of each is naturally unusual.
Who is Shi Songzhi? Deputy of the Privy Council; Who is Meng Hui? Jinghu system envoy; Qiao Xingjian don't forget, in addition to Prime Minister Zuo, he is also the privy envoy of the Privy Council, the highest military institution of the Great Song Dynasty.
As for whether the Detective Division is a military agency or an intelligence agency hidden in the shadows, it is obviously difficult for Jia Yidao to ask at this time. He believed that Zhao Yun would naturally give him an explanation later.
Being able to not let Ran Zhidao not conflict with Jia Yidao's thoughts in the slightest, and looking at Zhao Yun's meaning, he has no room to refuse.
"Weichen, thank you Lord Longen!" Jia Rudao bowed in response.
"Ha Lu Ha, good! Later, I will call King Rong and tell you about this detective division! Zhao Yun is actually most worried about his lazy brother-in-law's refusal, it seems that every time his brother-in-law does an amazing move, it appears in a helpless situation, which makes Zhao Yun distressed.
For others, he can naturally ignore the order, and he is really not too good and too hard to Jia Rudao. Pregnant and pregnant, the heir Jia Guifei who was finally saved, is still recuperating.
At this time, hearing that Jia Yidao had taken over the Detective Division, Zhao Yun was naturally very happy.
"Wechen obeys! It's just that under His Majesty, Weichen has a small request! ”
"Oh? It seems that if there is something to say, say it quickly. Zhao Yun was a little puzzled.
"Meng Shuai's assassination has come to an end at this point, and Weichen's wife must have been frightened a lot, and the detective department Weichen has just taken over, and I am afraid that he is lacking in skills, so Weichen wants to implore the saint to allow Weichen to resign from the post of general judge of Lin'an Mansion."
Jia Rudao said what he had planned for a long time.
Is this a resignation?
Meng Hui was a little surprised when he heard Jia Yidao's words. Jia Rudao perfectly solved Sun Kui and these people, and saved the face of the imperial court, don't think about it, tomorrow morning, no need for Zhao Yun to say, Zheng Qingzhi, Shi Songzhi, Yu Tianxi and others will come out to ask him for credit. If you resign at this time, isn't that giving the credit to others?
"It seems that you have resigned for the post of general judge of Lin'an Mansion, but there is already a candidate in your heart?"
To Meng Hui's surprise, Zhao Yun didn't seem to be surprised at all by Jia Nidao's request, and he didn't say anything to save him, but directly asked if Jia Nidao had any candidates.
"Yu Ci, the son of Duke Yu, is loyal to the saint and the court, and has both ability and political integrity, so he can take over the post of micro-minister!"
The emperor and this Jia Shixian ...... It seems to have been discussed.
Meng Hui felt that he seemed to understand a little.
