Chapter 251 There are some things you know or don't know
Some letters were spread out. Yang Hairuo did not enter the imperial capital all year round because of the general's mansion. Her communication with Princess Changhe was completed by letter. Although the written communication is slow, it is more rigorous and decent. Starting with these letters, the two recalled their chats happily.
Some letters were delivered. Several generals have long been psychologically prepared for this in the court. After writing letters and communicating, several generals jointly made a memorial. Chu Wen, a feng shui general, had been leading troops away all year round and missed his family, so he asked to hand over all the military power on the Western Front and return to the emperor to visit his family for rest.
Some letters are hidden. Chu Wen retreated, which was almost the biggest change in the whole empire! The entire western defense line of the empire, with more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, radiating nearly 100 large and small towns, during which all manpower, finance, food, soldiers and horses were armed and suddenly turned into an extremely huge and sweet cake! Who will replace it? Who will fill the gap? How to adjust the next thing, who to adjust and to whom? This is all a problem. There was no longer unity against the general's mansion, and the private letters between them flew all over the sky like snowflakes. On the street, as long as there are servants who are in a hurry to see things in their arms, there is no doubt that they must have sent letters from various prefectures. And this kind of letter is full of letters as long as you go out.
Some letters were intercepted. Jiang Kexiong looked at Mu Xiaoyu's continuous collection of letters from various channels, and his happy mood became worse and worse.
"Lao Mu, how many secret guards do we have now?" Jiang Kexiong asked seriously when he patted a letter in his hand directly on the dragon case.
Mu Xiaoyu bowed his head and replied, "Go back to the Holy, there are 17 people with jade heads, 370 people with iron heads, and more than 2,000 people with grass roots on the periphery."
Yutou refers to the absolute cronies of the emperor, who has an official position in the court and obeys all the instructions of the emperor.
Iron head refers to the eyeliners placed in the imperial capital and other government officials. These eyes are mostly housekeepers and servants of officials, and they can get a lot of information that is usually difficult to get from these people.
Grassroots refers to people who are instructed to do things by jade head and iron head, but do not know who they serve. These people are scattered everywhere, and there are all kinds of religion and nine streams. Although they are good and bad, they have made absolutely sufficient supplements for the whole intelligence network.
These people were completely at the behest of the emperor. Mu Xiaoyu was in the hands, and the establishment process hardly shocked anyone. Some shrewd officials may have noticed that there were such moles in their homes, but when the investigation direction pointed directly to the imperial capital, all these people coincidentally swallowed the thoughts of the investigation.
Or does the emperor put his eyes on his own house, does it mean that this is the emperor testing himself from time to time to wait for more important entrustment later?
Everyone has their own unique thoughts and thinks that their ideas are outstanding. In fact, everyone's choices, in the end, converge.
So, in the extremely artistic exposure and concealment, such a large network is formed. Except for the emperor and Mu Xiaoyu, no one knows the whole picture of this net.
However, Jiang Kexiong, the emperor, was still not satisfied. He frowned and asked, "It's not enough for me to use less than 3,000 people! Let me ask you, all the ministers below must have this kind of private letters. How much can you get?
Mu Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "It's more than half, but it should be less than 60%. Each iron head has a different style of doing things, and they will filter some information first.
The emperor said, "Not enough. I want at least 80%. How long will it take to do it?"
Mu Xiaoyu said, "The old slave tried his best."
"Do your best?" Tianzi raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up, looked down at Mu Xiaoyu, who bent down and bowed his head, and said, "Do you mean it's finished?"
Mu Xiaoyu's face did not change color, and there was no flattering gesture on his face. He said, "It will take a long time. If the Holy King's request takes effect immediately, many people may be exposed. It will disrupt the plan before the emperor."
"Exposure..." The emperor pondered and said for a long time, "What if more people are like Zhong Xiaojian?"
"No. Zhong Xiaojian is currently isolated, and there has been little time to support him in the auxiliary minister's mansion. The dark guard is safer to put it in the dark.
"What?" The emperor suddenly turned around, made the dragon case shocking, and said angrily, "Xin Yousi turned against him!" People who know it's me dare to be isolated! He is not afraid that I will commit great disrespect!"
Mu Xiaoyu said, "Your Excellency does not dare to disrespect the emperor. However, when factions compete for the real shortage, there are too many behind-the-scenes transactions to be seen. What he means is that the results can be exposed, but not the process.
Since Xin Yousi, an assistant minister second only to the imperial minister Guo Qishi, discovered the true identity of Zhong Xiaojian, the unique iron head actually had a direct showdown with Xin Yousi and unreservedly told the auxiliary minister his identity as the emperor's eyeliner. Xin Yousi naturally dared not touch such an old man, and Zhong Xiaojian's ability was indeed too strong. At the time of the showdown, he had already dealt with nearly half of the affairs of the auxiliary minister's mansion, and Xin Yousi was reluctant to give up such a general. Therefore, Shuang Convenience continued the previous life knowingly.
However, this can only be regarded as an example. Indeed, after some secret guards were found, they quickly degenerated. In the end, they either lost their lives by gambling, or were stabbed to death by the people in fierce fighting, or they were poisoned by each other. Everything seems to be an accident, but it can never be an accident.
How can those officials not hide dirt when they climb to such a position?
Thinking about it, the emperor also understood this truth, but he was unwilling to say, "I just hope that they can put everything on the table and don't use those tricks. Is this also an extravagant hope? My empire has been aboveboard for more than 200 years. Has it been maintained by such a small means?
Mu Xiaoyu stood silently without saying a word.
"What about General Yang? And what's General Chu's reaction?"
"Everything in the seven generals' mansions was as usual, and basically did not talk about this transfer order. The correspondence of several generals is through the military channel, and there is no problem. They should have no complaints about this adjustment.
Tianzi returned to his seat and listened to Mu Xiaoyu's report. I don't know what he was thinking.
The days are still going on. Wang San is not in charge of the power struggle outside! The general's mansion is not involved. It's none of his business! It's enough to take some time to listen to rumors on the street and know the overall direction. For more than half a month, his teaching to the two young masters has gradually achieved some results.
Looking at the energetic and enthusiastic young master behind the desk, Wang San said happily, "That's right! Even if you treat me as a villain in your heart, you still have to put the expression on your face!"
