Chapter 4: Military Intelligence Spies

"Wechen is incompetent. Xie Dacheng of the old camp in Gushan was responsible for military intelligence espionage in Yue Fei's camp, and the night before the Lantern Festival, Xie Dacheng fell ill and died, so he entrusted the sacrifice and other matters to Tong Sanshun. Xie Dacheng was responsible for all matters of external liaison, and the spies who were ambushed in the Jin Kingdom did not follow the spy system of our dynasty, and Weichen speculated that it should be a military communication method. Wei Chen carefully checked the personnel entry and exit records of the old camp in Gushan in the past three months, and speculated that the person who interrogated him had left Lin'an and was very likely to have returned to Jinguo. ”

After listening to Wu Yang's report, Zhao Gou's face was extremely ugly.

The Imperial City Division would write the results of the interrogation as a secret fold and send it to the emperor every day, and when he saw the old soldiers pointing out that Sang scolded Huai and accused him, the king of a country, of only bending his knees externally and killing the heroes internally, Zhao Gou made seven senses: "The younger generation, since they have already learned about the military movements of the Jin State, why don't they report it in the morning, they have to make such a play, this is a threat to the king, inciting the people's hearts, who gave them the courage?" ”

Chen Junqing, the servant of the imperial history, bowed down and said: "Ignorant fool, where do you understand these rules." probably couldn't find a way to speak to the official family, so he stupidly made such a show. Now it is necessary to identify the reliability of the information as soon as possible, and I should respond as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Tao, the secretary of the ministry, also came out and said: "A few days ago, Shi Yisheng, the envoy of Jin Guohe Zhengdan, had risked his life to warn his ministers, saying that the Jin soldiers would come, and now it has been confirmed that the Jin State has the intention of dying and I am undoubted, and I implore Your Majesty to order the rearmament so as not to be taken advantage of by thievesβ€”β€”"

Zuo Xiang Tang Si glanced at the emperor's face and said, "Joke! Just relying on the nonsense of a few unscrupulous men to lightly provoke the two countries, Chen Yushi and Zhang Shangshu are too hasty. ”

Zhao Gou said as if unintentionally: "If the Jin Kingdom really has such a big military movement as the old man said, why do I know nothing about the spies planted in the Jin Kingdom?" ”

Zhang Tao couldn't wait to slap Tang Si's fat round face twice, he held back his temperament and said to Zhao Goufen: "The spies I planted in the Jin Kingdom have been relatively active in the past few years, and they may have been mastered by the Jin Kingdom a few years ago. Last year, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom suddenly changed the law on crossing the border without permission and imposed the death penalty on those who crossed the border without permission. Since then, no valid information has been sent back from our spies. Yue Fei has been dead for eighteen years, and his military intelligence spy has been dormant, but he can escape the detection of the Jin State. ”

Zhang Tao bowed again, "Your Majesty, please think about it, if the situation is not critical, why would it be necessary for the spy who has been dormant for nearly twenty years to risk his death to send back information?" ”

Hearing Zhang Tao openly say the name that had been absent for eighteen years, Zhao Gou's heart was mixed.

That god-like man, familiar with military books, elite battle arrays, brave and fearless, and with a little naΓ―ve chivalry.

He said: "Your Majesty, the Jin people are just chickens and dogs, as long as you give an order, Weichen will lead the troops to smash the Yellow Dragon and welcome back the 'two saints'!" ”

He flattered: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven who is destined to return to Heaven and admired by all people, and now that the hearts of the people are available from all over the world, you can take this opportunity to recover Bianjing and rescue the lost fathers and elders." ”

The world calls him, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong the "Four Generals of Jingnan", and lists him as the first of the four generals, but how can those three compare with him? Liu, Zhang, and Han all have more or less such and such problems, only that man is perfect, he is not good at beauty, he is not greedy for money, and he doesn't even have too much ambition for power. He loves soldiers like sons, has strict military discipline, and restricts his soldiers to "freeze to death without demolishing houses, starve to death without plundering", and he has never committed any crimes wherever he passes, and he can always get the unanimous support of the army and the people.

He always has a natural sense of responsibility and mission for the land and the people, and always dreams of restoring the territory, saving the people, and being a hero of the times!

A cold smile appeared on Zhao Gou's face, you want to be a big hero, but where do you put me?!

Under the throne, the main peace faction led by Tang Sihui, the left minister, and the main battle faction, led by Chen Kangbo, the right minister, were spitting at each other, and no one could convince anyone.

Zhao Gou looked at it coldly and was indifferent. He has been sitting on the dragon chair for more than 30 years, since the day he ascended the throne, the drama of the ministers fighting the main peace has been constantly staged, only when Qin Hui was in power, there was only one voice left in the court, and his ears were much cleaner.

Five years ago, Qin Hui died, and some of the old ministers of the main battle were reinstated, such as Zhang Tao, the secretary of the ministry, Yu Yunwen, etc., everyone thought that the direction of the court was going to change, and the emperor would logically push all the charges and stains of bending the knee to make peace and accepting the table to be a minister, and shape himself into a heroic lord who endured humiliation and burdened the burden of humiliation and revived the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou acquiesced to the purge of the remnants of Qin Hui by the main battle party, but promoted Tang Si, who had nothing to do with Qin Hui on the surface, but in fact was a staunch supporter of Qin Hui's "peace talks" line inside, to be the head of the hundred officials and serve as the left minister, and the two monarchs and ministers joined forces to stabilize the main battle faction in the court, that is to say, five years after Qin Hui's death, the basic national policy of the Great Song Dynasty towards the Jin State has not changed, and it is still "peace".

Three years ago, Zhang Jun, who was relegated to Yongzhou, learned out of where he learned that the Emperor of Jin intended to provoke a war and invade the Great Song Dynasty. Chen Cheng is afraid that after a few years, the people's strength will be exhausted, the financial resources will be lacking, the soldiers will be old, the loyal martyrs will be wiped out, and internal and external troubles will still arise, what will Your Majesty do? ”

Seeing that the emperor ignored him, Zhang Jun went up again and said, "...... The unfortunate ministers who use things wantonly for profit, but want to get rid of the loyalty, to obey the enemy's orders and store their evil intentions, and to have a private room, all for their own personal plots and not for His Majesty. After sitting on the wrecked plane for more than 20 years, he was heartbroken, he did not use the talent, he did not repair his political affairs, the situation did not stand, and he wanted to be ordered by the enemy...... I hope that Your Majesty will think deeply about the plan, restore the hearts and minds of the people, show the country's strength, and establish political affairs to see the opportunity. ”

Immediately after Zhang Jun, Liang Xun, a scholar of Dongping, wrote again, believing that the Jin State would definitely raise troops to attack, hoping that the imperial court would take precautions as soon as possible.

This annoyed Zhao Gou, who first issued an edict strictly prohibiting Zhang Jun from talking nonsense in Yongzhou, and reprimanded him for "inviting reputation and discussing side affairs", which was "useless talk about Confucianism". Later, he personally issued an edict to send Liang Xun to the military state thousands of miles away.

Subsequently, Zhao Gou took all the infamy, and he sternly said: "The policy of peace is cut off from my will, Qin Hui can praise me, how can it be defined by survival and death!" Those who are close to ignorance, advocating floating rumors, in order to confuse the public, to the point of writing false edicts, resisting the chapter of the bus, arguing about side affairs, I am very appalled, from now on, we should reset the constitution! ”

No one can figure out the emperor's thoughts, he seems to want to tell the world by taking the initiative to bear the infamy of the ages, he is not an emperor who can only run away and have no responsibility, but in the face of the increasingly exposed fangs and aggressiveness of the Jin State, Zhao Gou is indeed passive and sluggish, doing nothing, even to the point of closing his eyes and listening, covering his ears and stealing the bell.

Wu Yang stood at the end of the line, today is a small court meeting, originally he was not qualified to go to the palace, the emperor announced that he went to the palace to explain the crying camp incident of the old camp in the lonely mountain to the ministers and ministers, so that he was fortunate to witness the war of words between the ministers.

Seeing that the two gangs had temporarily stopped spraying each other, Zhao Gou opened his mouth and said: "Since the military intelligence spies planted by my dynasty should be under the unified jurisdiction of the Secret Spy Division, let Commander Wu of the Imperial City Division cooperate with the Secret Spy Department to handle this matter." Remember, don't leave anyone out. ”

Wu Yang originally bowed his head and shrank in the farthest corner, but when he heard the emperor's name, he hurriedly bowed out and said, "Yes, Weichen must do his best to live up to His Majesty's trust!" ”
