Chapter 534: Meritorious Service on the Dark Line

After serving as a civil official, Qu Qingze fully realized the role of the dark line, when he was in Jinyiwei before, he always took all this for granted, not a big deal, and he was also in it, responsible for a thing, he was somewhat neglected, and even once thought that what Jinyiwei did was unseemly.

The last time the Jiangning battalion fought against the Mongolian Tartars, because the Jinyi Wei dark line did not have much information, it almost made the Jiangning battalion suffer heavy losses, and Qu Qingze decided to play the Dong Chang lord and strengthen the construction of the Jinyi Wei dark line at the border pass.

In fact, it is a matter involving silver, the conditions in the border pass are difficult, and there is not much guarantee for personal safety, such a place has not been the focus of Jinyiwei's attention, plus the officers of the guard, it is very taboo to be monitored, and after a long time, Jinyiwei has neglected this piece a little, so that a few years ago, some guards mutinied, and Jinyiwei knew nothing.

Qu Qingze suggested increasing the silver, strengthen the distribution of the border pass Jinyi Wei dark line, in order to collect more information, this suggestion, is in line with Dong Chang's meaning, in the past two years, the imperial court income of the silver has increased, although the expenses are still difficult, but much stronger than before, sure enough, Dong Chang's twists and turns, approved by the emperor.

The dark lines of the border gates quickly began to grow, and with money they could grind and increase the amount of silver, and everything was easy to do.

In fact, Qu Qingze also thought about whether to develop his own intelligence system in Shaanxi, Su Tiancheng has very high requirements, and he is also relatively harsh on intelligence, and the Jinyi Wei dark line has its own defects, mainly concerned about the situation of civil and military officials, and has no interest in local economic conditions, personnel distribution, human geography and other information. But Su Tiancheng paid attention to these aspects very much, and after serving as a civil official, Qu Qingze felt that this information was indeed important.

Su Tiancheng had already given Qu Qingze a task, and he might have to do something about the guards in Shaanxi, including the guards in the border towns. Pay attention to gathering information in this regard, pay attention to the reaction of the officers of the guard, and if there is any abnormal movement, it must be reported immediately, without the slightest delay.

For several days in a row, the dark line of the Ningxia Wei station sent a lot of information, all about the actions of the officers of the guard, which made Qu Qingze feel worried. The commanders of the front and rear guards of Ningxia and the commanders of the left and right guards were all concentrated in Ningxiawei, which is a very rare situation, and the imperial court's requirements for the border army are very strict, and under normal circumstances, these commanders cannot be concentrated at will.

The emperor agreed to dismantle and merge the guards of Shaanxi and the border towns in Shaanxi, but at this time, the border guards commanded the envoys. It's all all in one place, what does that mean.

Qu Qingze's mind. There was a very bad idea, but there was another thing, he didn't understand very well, the imperial court's holy decree had not yet come down, and the plan to integrate the guards had not yet come out, how did these commanders know the news of the Dao. Could it be that someone in the court revealed the news to them?

Finally, a piece of information about the dark line attracted Qu Qingze's attention.

In the intelligence, a middle-aged man was mentioned. It is said to be a person in the capital, and it is estimated that this person is likely to be the staff of an official in the capital, and this person is following the Ningxia guard to the commander, and many occasions where the guard commander is concentrated, there is this middle-aged man.

Qu Qingze fought a cold war, feeling cold all over, in the imperial court, there are many officials, who have great opinions about Su Tiancheng, and even want to put Su Tiancheng to death, if some officials in the imperial court secretly collude with the officers of the guard in Shaanxi, including the border army officers, to take the opportunity to make trouble, then Su Tiancheng will fall into great passivity.

Su Tiancheng is still in the capital, and this information is too late to be sent, if it is delayed, I am afraid that it will be a big mistake.

Qu Qingze made a decisive decision, asking the dark line to do everything possible to catch this middle-aged man and bring him to Xianyang quickly, this move cannot alarm anyone.

Jin Yiwei did these things, and he was caught, so that such a person disappeared secretly, and it was not a big deal, he used to do such things often, especially secret lines, assassinations, assassinations and kidnappings, etc., I don't know how much Lu Dao did.

After arranging all the matters, Qu Qingze immediately arranged a dark line and sent some important information to Su Tiancheng's mansion in the capital, so that Su Tiancheng would know about it one day earlier, and he could make arrangements for deployment one day earlier, and at the same time, Qu Qingze wrote out his own arrangements and sent them to the capital together.

After Jinyiwei sent the letter to the mansion, Su Tian became alert.

Every time he went to the capital, he almost didn't accept any information from the secret line, generally speaking, when he came to the capital to meet the emperor or the cabinet ministers, all of them were arranged and arranged, and in a short period of time, there would not be much of a matter, but this time, the secret line actually sent the information to his home, if it wasn't for a particularly major matter, there would not be such a situation.

Su Tiancheng entered the study, and he told Zhu Xianxin that no matter who came to visit, don't disturb him, just say that he was unwell, and he would meet and discuss something another day.

When he opened the letter, Su Tiancheng's hands trembled a little, he thought of a certain possibility, but he still hoped that nothing big would happen, after all, the situation in Shaanxi had just stabilized.

Slowly looking at the letter, Su Tiancheng's face turned pale, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Sure enough, it was what he was most worried about.

After reading the letter written by Qu Qingze, Su Tiancheng stood up, for such a major matter, he must think of a good way to deal with it, otherwise there will be undeserved consequences, and his hard work is likely to be ruined.

After thinking about it for half an hour, Su Tiancheng made up his mind.

Sun Chengzong looked at Su Tiancheng, who was extremely serious, and felt very strange, it is said that the conditions he created for Su Tiancheng are already very good, even if it is a matter of mutual markets and the abolition of guards, there will be some troubles, and Su Tiancheng himself can overcome it, after all, in Shaanxi, there is still a powerful Jiangning battalion, and no guard dares to move, let alone mutiny.

Su Tiancheng's request was also very strange, and he insisted on talking alone.

Sun Chengzong sensed that something big was going on, and took Su Tiancheng into the study.

After reading the materials brought by Su Tiancheng, Sun Chengzong's face also turned white.

"Kun Yuan, how could this happen, what's going on, is Qu Qingze mistaken."

"My lord, the younger generation thought it would not be mistaken, the younger generation analyzed it in detail, and felt the seriousness of the gaffe, first of all, the imperial court discussed the mutual market and the abolition of the guard and the border guard in Shaanxi, for the time being, it has not been made public, and it has not gone through the early dynasty, there are not many people who know the matter of Lu Dao, and there is basically no possibility of leaking it, secondly, if there is an adult in the court, in order to oppose this matter, arrange for the staff to report the situation, so that the officers of the guard can prepare in advance, this is a very dangerous thing, the most rear, The younger generation feels that this is a principled big thing, which must not be ignored, and must be prepared for the worst. ”

"Kun Yuan, tell me what you think."

"The younger generation thinks that Qu Qingze has handled it very well this time, catch the middle-aged man and see what the situation is, if there are people in the DPRK and China who oppose the exchange of markets and the abolition of the guards, or even incite the officers of the guards to resist or mutiny, this is the best opportunity, and the juniors are worried about what kind of opportunity to do it."

"What do you do if it's not like this?"

"The younger generation thinks, it must be this matter, sir, think about it, Ningxia Wei, Ningxia front central guard, left and right Zhongtun Wei command envoys are all concentrated in Ningxia Wei, what is the possibility, let so many Wei commanders concentrate in Ningxia Wei station, the imperial court has no holy decree, according to the regulations, they are not able to concentrate without authorization, unless it is a big matter involving their vital interests, the younger generation thought for a while, the only possibility is that the matter of abolishing the guard post and the border guard post in Shaanxi has been leaked."

Sun Chengzong nodded.

"Kun Yuan, your analysis is very reasonable, what are you going to do next, what do you need the old man to do for you."

"The younger generation is ready to return to Shaanxi immediately, relatively speaking, the matter of the mutual market and the abolition of the guard, the younger generation must first pay attention to the matter of the mutual market, and urge the mutual market to start this morning, as for the matter of the abolition of the guard, see what the specific situation is, and after making complete preparations, then take action, if the younger generation finds out any news this time, he must report it to the adult in time, and implore the adult to be above the court, and the emperor there, to give support to the younger generation."

"There is no problem with this, the old man will definitely pay attention, but you also have to pay attention, if there is a change in the officers of the guard, you must make a decision immediately, and you can't have the slightest hesitation, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others are all lessons, a few years ago, many guards mutinied, took refuge in the rogue, over the years, because of the courage of the Jiangning battalion, the guards have not dared to make such a move, but this time the situation is different, to prevent them from jumping off the wall."

Su Tiancheng nodded.

"My lord, the officers of the guard, the juniors can deal with it, the key is in the court, if there is a problem, it will be difficult for the juniors to interfere."

Sun Chengzong's face showed an angry look.

"In this regard, you don't have to think about it, if there is really such a situation, how can the old man ignore it, hmph, he is too bold, don't you know that doing this is the sin of destroying the nine clans, which is equivalent to rebellion."

Su Tiancheng didn't speak, Sun Chengzong's words were not fun, if the internal and external collusion was really exposed, it was likely to cause a bloody storm, and the emperor couldn't help it, there was already a precedent in the court for this lesson. (To be continued......)
