Chapter 4: Enlightenment
To deal with the force of General Bude, it must be Jiang Chuanyue's most trusted confidant, and he must be completely loyal to Jiang Chuanyue himself, otherwise once the news is leaked, Jiang Chuanyue will inevitably be defeated.
General Bude is known as the cornerstone of the empire and has great prestige both in the military and among the people. Especially among the army, it has become the faith of almost the entire imperial army.
As for the common people, although General Bude adhered to the principle that the military did not participate in politics and never made any policy to reduce the burden on the people, his invincible prestige was extremely admired by the common people.
Such a person, if Jiang Chuanyue's deeds of plotting to assassinate General Bude are revealed, how much turmoil will it cause? It is estimated that there will be no plans at that time, even if the little emperor dies violently, it will not be his turn.
Therefore, it is impossible to overestimate how cautious the force is in dealing with General Bude.
How to find a group of people who have both certain ability and enough loyalty in the imperial capital is the most important problem that Jiang Chuanyue is facing now.
If there is no intelligence support, even if Jiang Chuanyue has a good hand of the prince's title at the moment, it is simply difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
It's like a stranger standing in front of you, and you don't know his life history at all, how can you determine whether he is loyal or treacherous?
Although Jiang Chuanyue was a prince in the past, he did not seem to pay attention to the role of intelligence, so he did not establish his own source of intelligence at all.
Jiang Chuanyue had asked Monka to come over and accompany him, in order to recruit suitable personnel as a team to deal with the minister and General Bude, and solve the intelligence problem.
It's just that I didn't think that as soon as I met Monka, I immediately solved the problem of dealing with the minister's manpower, and solved the problem by one-third before I even went out of the door, which was really a good start.
But then to solve the remaining two problems, I have to go out.
.......
Where is the most concentrated place in the world? The answer is – bars.
In a bar in the imperial capital, as soon as you walk in, your ears are filled with the sound of wine glasses hitting the table, the sound of bartenders shaking ice cubes, and the sound of drunkards laughing and shouting.
The people who drink in the bar are not only traveling guests, but also mercenaries of all stripes, or drunkards who have lost all hope in life.
These people are the kind of people who like to brag very much, whether they know each other or not, they can blow for three days and three nights when they catch a stranger, and the whole tavern is noisy.
However, Jiang Chuanyue did not sit in the same hall as these ordinary people who came to buy fun, enjoying the feeling of being bombarded by the noise made by those drunkards.
At this moment, he was sitting in a quiet secret room with a lady wearing heavy makeup.
Anyone who knew the woman would have been amazed to see this, who would have thought that the "poisonous scorpion" who was so vicious and vicious in the past would today be so respectful to an ordinary young man that he would not even dare to make a chair.
"My lord, all the information is here."
The woman nervously placed a thick stack of materials on the table, her lowered eyes sweeping over Jiang Chuanyue's face from time to time, trying to see something from it.
Jiang Chuanyue's face was expressionless, she opened a few pieces of information at random, nodded and said, "Well, very good, you come to see me in the palace tomorrow, and I will help you get what you want." ”
"Thank you, thank you, your lord." The woman was so excited that she quickly bowed and thanked her.
Ignoring the woman's thousand thanks, Jiang Chuanyue turned around and left directly, but when he was about to step out of the door, he suddenly seemed to think of something, tilted his head slightly, and his eyes indifferently swept away the woman who was bending down to salute, and said in an unquestionable tone:
"I've never been to you, you know."
"Yes, my lord, I was sick and rested at home all day today, and I have never seen anyone else."
That woman can lay a foundation in a place like the imperial capital, how can she be an ordinary person? Exquisitely clear, she knew that the big man in front of her must have some calculations when Jiang Chuanyue's voice just fell, and she was not even allowed to reveal any rumors, so she naturally knew how to answer.
Seeing this, Jiang Chuanyue nodded slightly, and walked out of the room.
Knowing that Jiang Chuanyue's figure had disappeared for a long time, the woman dared to relax, and before she knew it, her palms were already covered with cold sweat, but her face was full of excitement.
......
Jiang Chuanyue left the tavern and stood on the street and breathed a sigh of relief.
This is not a bar in the previous life, nor is it a higher-grade tavern in the imperial capital, the unventilated and stuffy environment inside, the smell of sweat and the smell of alcohol are mixed together, coupled with all kinds of noisy sounds in the ears, Jiang Chuanyue is so uncomfortable that she almost vomits.
Vomiting out the turbidity in her chest, Jiang Chuanyue turned her head to look at Meng Ka behind her: "Have you brought the things?" ”
"My lord, your subordinates will not die, and you will not lose things."
Jiang Chuanyue nodded and stopped talking.
In fact, that information is not an important thing, and it doesn't matter if you lose it, it's just a little troublesome.
The information recorded in the information is the detailed information of some skilled people in the imperial capital, or the emperor's envoys, or the generals of the imperial military who were wrongfully beaten into prisons, or the strong men in a mercenary. And Jiang Chuanyue's second dark army will be selected from them.
When the time comes, as long as you take a closer look at the life deeds of these people and then apply some means, you are not afraid that you will not be able to find enough talents that you trust.
Jiang Chuanyue, who had solved a big problem, began to visit the street market in the imperial capital with great interest.
It is one of the most prosperous cities in the entire empire, with a bustling flow of people and shops on both sides.
It's just that after walking around for a while, Jiang Chuanyue slowly reminisced, and there were indeed turbulent waves under the prosperous surface.
There were indeed a lot of pedestrians on the street, but there were almost no smiles on their faces, and almost everyone had a sad face and a sigh on their voices, making people feel that the entire imperial capital seemed to be covered with clouds.
The industry with the most shops, the most luxurious decorations, and the most prosperous business in the street is not the clothing industry, but the geisha house.
The people at the bottom want to break every penny in half, and they are depressed every day for vegetables, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, but the upper-class people are drunk and dreaming in all kinds of richly decorated geisha houses, regardless of the life and death of the people at the bottom.
It is no wonder that the first emperor built such a powerful forty-eight imperial tools for future generations, but in the end the empire was easily overthrown.
No matter how strong the force is? Without people's support, everything is just rootless duckweed.
Jiang Chuanyue looked at the geisha houses in the distance with deep eyes, looking at the shadows that kept laughing under the lights, and there was a hint of realization in her heart.
At the beginning, Jiang Chuanyue still thought that after usurping the throne, she would use the high-level officials and nobles of the empire to stabilize the situation, but now it seems that these so-called high-level nobles are not enough to vent the anger of the people if they do not kill them at all.
It seems that a high-level bloodbath will be inevitable at that time......
