Chapter 898: The Concept of the Ribbon (Calling for a Monthly Pass)
Songtsen Gampo, the lord of Tubo, is still half-dead, and the prince of Tubo has agreed to the request of the Tang Dynasty. They sent a batch of weapons and equipment. Let His Royal Highness the Prince have more confidence in his combat effectiveness, and in addition, Datang used some of the money obtained from the transaction to win people's hearts, on the surface, of course, so that His Royal Highness the Prince could get more support.
In addition, the Tang Dynasty stationed 20,000 elite Tang soldiers in the Xihai, Heyuan, and Douhe in the territory of Tuyuhun, and as early as the year before last, when fighting with the Qiang people in Jiannan Province in Tubo, the giant military fortress on the edge of the Tubo Plateau has been built, and 15,000 elite infantry of the Tang Dynasty have been stationed, and an elite unit adapted to the plateau climate has been trained.
At present, the team is still stationed in this military fortress located at the junction of the Dongnu Kingdom and Tubo and Tuyuhun, and it is believed that as long as the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty begins, they will inevitably act as sharp knives, and in addition, Tubo has submitted its credentials several times to protest against the construction of a giant fortress at the junction of Tuyuhun and Tubo, which is a distrust of Tubo and also threatens the international security situation around Tubo.
However, Datang pretended to be deaf and dumb about this, and said that in short, Datang was an important military base built in order to protect the interests of Datang business travelers, and to ensure that the people of Datang would not be harassed and plundered by horse bandits in the border areas.
Maintain the common interests of the people of the two countries, maintain peace and friendship between the two countries, make progress and development together, enhance trust between the two countries, understand and accommodate each other, avoid conflicts, and seek common ground while reserving differences...... All in all, as long as the two countries do not declare war, Datang's small actions will still continue, at least, to make Tubo feel uncomfortable, but also to make them unable to find a reason to stand on a moral plane to declare war on Datang.
"Well, that's good, pay attention to the movements of Tubo, there must be no mistakes, Tubo is not to say that it is to transfer an army to the border, even if he is allowed to lead the mouse to the border line, you have to find out for me if that damn mouse has a special breed of intelligence, understand?" I grimaced.
------------------------------------------------ "No! "All of them are commanded. I swept through some of the people present, nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Over the past period of time, this official has repeatedly advised His Majesty to prepare for the reform and division of rights in the Tang Dynasty in two to three years. "No, my lord, why are you ......" As soon as I heard this, almost all the main persons in charge of the departments of the Concert Academy jumped up.
"Sit down! What's the hurry, listen to what I'm done, no matter how anxious you are. "I slapped the table impatiently, and that's what kept the guys at bay. Although Qiu Danmo and the others have countless doubts and dissatisfaction in their hearts, at the moment, they are all obediently sitting and looking at me, as if I don't give them an explanation, don't go out of this door today.
"You should also know that now our Datang Jinju Academy is no longer a small yamen with hundreds of people, we here, in China, there are more than 3,000 staff members, and abroad, there are no less than 2,700 staff members, these are all directly subordinate to the staff of the Jinju Academy. Coupled with the nearly 300 staff members of our headquarters, if you calculate for yourself, our organization, even compared to any of the six departments of the Tang Dynasty, is not necessarily less staffed. In addition, our staff is not only in Datang, in the surrounding countries outside Datang, but also for the military, political, economic, and geographical aspects of our Datang have played a favorable role in boosting, our work has been more and more valued by His Majesty, and the attention of the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, all of which are your merits, Fang Mou, thank you for your unremitting efforts. ”
"Don't be too modest, if there is no adult, our concert academy, I'm afraid it will be like a group of army's meticulous work, there is no one to say at all, today I can get the trust of Your Majesty and the courtiers, and the merit of the adults should be the first." Qiu Danmo stood up and bowed to me, while the others did the same.
I was happy in my heart, but now is not the time to praise my merits, so I hurriedly returned the salute: "The efforts of all the monarchs and Fang Mou have made it possible to call me the Tang Dynasty Concert Academy, and now, this official feels that our intelligence collection and collection work has been quite perfect, but now our work here, in the Concert Academy, has gradually become a little incompetent, and sometimes even misses a lot of information of great value, do you know why?" It's just that the rights and responsibilities are not clear. Responsibilities are not in place. ”
When I talked to Uncle Li about the reform of the tax law, I also mentioned to Uncle Li about the situation of the Jinjuanyuan, and I suggested to Uncle Li that the time had come for the Tang Jinjuan to start differentiating between responsibility and power. Because I noticed that Uncle Li has become more and more dependent on the military, political, economic and other aspects provided by the Tang Jinjuanyuan, although this is a good thing, but the responsibilities and rights of the Jinjuan from the beginning are quite vague, and there is no code of conduct that regulates the surname.
I don't want the Jinyuan to become the Jinyiwei of the Tang Dynasty, so I want to make a reform and division of power to regulate the surname before Uncle Li and others hope that the Jinyuan can create greater benefits for the country, at least, limit some of the privileges of the Jinsoyuan, and not make it a formidable and feared state terrorist institution in the future.
"Of course, I'm just saying hello to you in advance, reform, it's certain, just like my tax system in Datang, which is not conducive to the development and prosperity of Datang in the future, then changes should be made, and the same goes for intelligence agencies. Let me tell you first that my opinion is like this......"
To tell the truth, I like the set of Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption very much, for the domestic intelligence agencies, what this son has to do is roughly divided into two parts, one is to monitor the military, the other is to monitor the civilian group, they only have the right to collect intelligence, but they have no right to arrest and judge, the only judicial body in Datang can only be Dali Temple, and Yushitai is more like a procuratorial and public prosecution agency.
What I have described as Uncle Li is a system of state supervision and public prosecution with the intelligence agencies as the eyes and ears and the Goshidai as the backbone, and although the Jinsoin has the responsibility and obligation to provide information to the Goshidai, it is only responsible to His Majesty the Emperor, so as to prevent the dangerous consequences of the expansion of the power of any political institution.
------------------------------------------------Although I don't know much about the so-called Ming Cook System and [***] System in later generations, I at least think that within the current political framework of the Tang Empire, Dali Temple is responsible for the trial of cases, the imperial history is responsible for initiating lawsuits, and the intelligence agencies are responsible for reconnaissance.
"Of course, this is only the original idea of the official, specifically, you still need to contribute to the action, you must remember that this official is not to weaken the responsibility and power of the Tang Dynasty, but to clarify our responsibilities and powers, so that our work can be efficient, and the contribution to the country is even greater. Fundamentally, let the court recognize our merits, and recognize that our existence is correct and standardized, so that others will not be able to find our fault, and so that Your Majesty will not have doubts when using us, will you understand? "I finally made a concluding statement.
Now, these guys finally breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Yufei clutched his chest very exaggeratedly: "As soon as the young man spoke, the lower officials thought that the prince was going to dissolve our concert hall." ”
This provoked an exaggerated laugh in the room, and I smiled and shook my head: "Yes, I scared you, can't you?" ”
"Since your Excellency said this, then you are welcome, my lord, there must be some sincerity in apologizing, right?" Cai Nan also came to join in the fun, glaring at this guy hatefully. "Hmph, I am not poor in eating this son, beware of your stomach, I will finish the work in a while, Linjiang Building, I am making amends to my colleagues, these two are also to celebrate the development of our Tang Dynasty Academy to such a scale, in addition, this official must not be able to take care of the affairs in the courtyard for a while, you have to keep an eye on me, something happens, even if Your Majesty does not find your trouble, be careful of my trouble." I warned with a straight face.
But these guys are very thick-skinned and honest, and they agreed repeatedly, but I don't know how many layers they can listen to, of course, I also trust them, and after so many years of intelligence work, I will definitely not treat work as a joke.
"By the way, my lord, there is a letter from your lord here, I was busy talking about official business, and the lower officials almost forgot about it." Li Xiaode picked up a letter from his arms and handed it to me, I took it with a smile, I didn't have to think about it, it must have been sent by my eldest brother.
