Chapter 597: Counting is Counting
Fan Wencheng would never have dreamed that Duan Zongkui was Zheng Xunrui's dark line.
When Zheng Xunrui led the troops to attack Lushun, Duan Zongkui, as a businessman, provided very critical information for the Zheng family's army, in fact, at that time Duan Zongkui began to do business with Houjin, after the Zheng family army occupied Lushun, Jinzhou and Fuzhou, Duan Zongkui asked Duan Zongkui not to continue to do business in the Dengzhou area, but to transfer to Liaodong and continue to do business with the Houjin Tatars.
But Zheng Xunrui did not ask Duan Zongkui to provide any information, and even did not ask Duan Zongkui to provide any information about the Houjin Tartars, and secretly arranged personnel to help Duan Zongkui get through all the relationships in Liaodong, so that Duan Zongkui could do business in Liaodong very well, which is also the situation when Fan Wencheng saw that Duan Zongkui had a background and was dedicated to doing business.
Of course, Fan Wencheng couldn't know everything that happened in Penglai, he didn't have that much ability, and Zheng Xunrui had already thought of planting Duan Zongkui in Liaodong, as a flag, which could play a role and do a good job, and there would be no big loss if he couldn't play a role.
When the Xu Fojia sent the information, there was a smile on his face.
Zheng Xunrui shook his head secretly, as the person in charge of the Investigation Bureau, Xu Fojia's work is very good, a few months have passed, the development of the dark line has been spread out on a large scale, but it has always been very clueless, Xu Fojia focuses on the development of the dark line in the Qinglou, and it is precisely because of this arrangement that the intelligence obtained by the Investigation Bureau has greatly increased.
However, Xu Fojia still has some small shortcomings, that is, it is easy to show emotions, and it cannot be hidden, you must know that the person in charge of the investigation department must be invisible, so that the opponent can not touch the depths.
After taking the information and reading it carefully, Zheng Xunrui nodded with satisfaction.
"The Investigation Agency has done a very good job in the past few months, collecting a lot of valuable information, and this situation will continue to be maintained in the future. By the way, the relevant situation of Jiading Bo Zhou Kui and Zuodu Governor Tian Hongyu should be made in more detail, including their daily life and so on. can be collected. ”
Xu Fo's head was almost on Zheng Xunrui's chest. conAd1();
"Yes, my subordinates must find out the information on these aspects."
Zheng Xunrui had a smile on his face, he knew what the Xu Fojia was thinking, stretched out his arms, and hugged the Xu Fojia tightly.
Xu Fojia blushed and left the study with a sense of satisfaction.
Not for a while. Xu Wanghua entered the study.
Zheng Xunrui pointed to the paperwork on the table, Xu Wanghua picked up the paperwork and looked at it carefully.
After Xu Wanghua finished reading the paperwork, he looked up at Zheng Xunrui.
"My lord, this Fan Wencheng really has some skills, and he can actually think of this trick."
"Fan Wencheng is the first strategist under the command of Huang Taiji, his ability should be extraordinary, he can think of this idea in a very short time, it is very good, the emperor already has a great prejudice against me. If Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu were fanning the yin wind and igniting the ghost fire on the side, wouldn't the problem be more complicated, but unfortunately, Huang Taiji could think of provoking infighting in my Ming court, but the emperor couldn't think of this. ”
"My lord, my subordinates feel that it doesn't matter, the current situation is already like this, even if Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu don't provoke it, the emperor will do it, Fan Wencheng's move is purely superfluous."
"Tell me about it. What can we gain from this information? ”
Xu Wanghua lowered his head and thought seriously for a while, Zheng Xunrui did not urge, but looked at the map on the table.
Finally. Xu Wanghua raised his head.
"The subordinates think that only from the bodies of Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu, if the adults master the bad deeds of the two, for example, Duan Zongkui can let the two of them secretly do things for the Houjin Tartars, they can make Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu obedient, and maybe they can reveal what the emperor has done."
Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly. conAd2();
"I always had a feeling. Huang Taiji probably doesn't particularly value these things, this is likely to affect the same situation, take such three indiscriminate means to achieve success, in the end are more than worth the loss, I don't mean to do everything needs to be above board, when necessary to take the means is certain, but to play the means, then it is not a good thing. ”
After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Xu Wanghua quickly spoke.
"The subordinates have some different views, do things for the purpose of achieving victory, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States morale of the Song Xianggong Hongshui Battle, do not take advantage of the Chu army to cross the river to attack, do not take the opportunity to attack when the Chu army is not in a column, wait until the Chu army lined up the attack queue to start fighting, the result was a big defeat, the evaluation of Song Xianggong in later generations is even the benevolence of a stupid pig, which shows that people knew the importance of power and strategy more than 2,000 years ago, if adults think that doing things need to be above board, I am afraid it is difficult to achieve the goal."
Zheng Xunrui looked at Xu Wanghua for a while before nodding slightly.
Xu Wanghua rarely refutes Zheng Xunrui's point of view, but in this matter, he shows a different attitude, which is a bit strange, in fact, it is nothing, since ancient times, it has been about scheming, and many things that Zheng Xunrui has done are also the embodiment of scheming, just say that the most important thing to do against the emperor and the court is also secretly operated, and it cannot be spread out openly at present.
"What Mr. Xu said is right, I accept this opinion, do you think Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu are worth using."
Xu Wanghua clenched his fists and spoke to Zheng Xunrui.
"The adult's thoughts, the subordinates understand, the adults think that Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu are despicable people, the word is the head, there is no discipline and no principles, such people cannot be trusted and reused, but the subordinates think that there is no need to be confined to character, as long as they can be used, they don't care what kind of person the other party is."
was choked twice by Xu Wanghua in a row, and Zheng Xunrui showed a wry smile on his face.
"Okay, how does Mr. Xu think Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu should be used. conAd3(); ”
"The subordinates think that the plan will be calculated, since Fan Wencheng asked Duan Zongkui to contact Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu, then the adults might as well fulfill it, according to Duan Zongkui's ability, there is almost no possibility of being able to get close to Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu, both of them are extremely greedy for money, Duan Zongkui can't take out so much silver to contact the two, this Fan Wencheng may not be able to think of, and Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu have a very bad reputation, and almost all the famous adults in the court avoid contacting them, such a person, Duan Zongkui thought that he could get close, It's like ascending to the sky. ”
"What Mr. means is that we can use the power of the adults in the court to let Duan Zongkui get close to Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu, but in this way, wouldn't Duan Zongkui expose his identity, you must know that Fan Wencheng will hand over such a major matter to Duan Zongkui, and he will definitely closely monitor Duan Zongkui's every move, and if he is not careful, Duan Zongkui is very likely to be exposed."
"What the adults said is that the subordinates have also thought about this, but the subordinates think that some things can be done without the presence of the adults, and they may not necessarily involve the adults in the court."
Zheng Xunrui thought for a moment and nodded.
"How is the arrangement of Caoyun's affairs?"
"According to the requirements of the adults, the subordinates have been arranged, the original annual Cao Yun needs to transport two million stone grain to the capital and all parts of the north, this year the plan is to cut by half, at most one million stone of grain to the north and the capital, as for the imperial court if it is to ask, the Governor's Office also has sufficient reasons, the canal has not been repaired for a long time, some places are no longer suitable for Cao Yun to drive, there are certain difficulties in the collection of Cao grain in various parts of the south, etc., even if the court is angry, it cannot find fault with it."
"Well, yes, the specific matters are handed over to Hongmen to handle, the Caoyun Governor's Mansion generally does not come forward, to use this time, let Hongmen try to be in charge of the entire Caoyun affairs, we must make all preparations, once the emperor decrees that I will not be allowed to serve as the Caoyun Governor, then Caoyun will be completely at a standstill."
"Yes, the subordinates must make all the arrangements according to this requirement, but after Xu Jikuang arrived in Shaanxi, Hong Mingcheng felt a little difficult, whether to consider making appropriate adjustments to the personnel."
"Not now, tell Hong Mingcheng that you have to hold on."
Xu Fojia came to the study again.
Zheng Xunrui looked at Xu Fojia, as the person in charge of the Investigation Agency, there are many things that need to be experienced, and a lot of things need to be handled, some things are not easy to handle on the surface, and they must be carried out in secret, Zheng Xunrui didn't want Xu Fojia to take on these things, but the development of things is not subject to people's will, since Xu Fojia has become the person in charge of the Investigation Agency, it needs to do a lot of things.
"Qingling, there is something you need to plan, Fan Wencheng used Duan Zongkui to get close to Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu, the purpose is to let Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu say bad things about me in front of the emperor, and you are also clear about the ultimate goal, according to Duan Zongkui's ability, it is basically impossible to get close to Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu, and then you need to think of a way, without exposing yourself, so that Duan Zongkui can get close to Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu, this matter has a certain degree of difficulty, if you can't handle it, say it earlier."
Xu Fojia had a charming smile on his face.
"The husband underestimates the slave family too much, such a thing, the slave family will definitely be able to handle it, the husband can rest assured."
Looking at Xu Fojia's confident expression, Zheng Xunrui secretly scolded Xu Wanghua in his heart, what kind of ideas did he think of, he was really a member of the three sects and nine streams, but in order to achieve his goal, it didn't matter what kind of method he adopted.
"I know, there is one thing you have to grasp, in the process of Duan Zongkui's contact with Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu, don't think about other things, and don't get any other information from Duan Zongkui, let him do things with peace of mind, it's just that anything Duan Zongkui does himself, it is best to have a record, and these things may be able to play a great role in the future."
