I Won’t Be a King in the Spring and Autumn Period Chapter 320 How the Dark Crowd Works
Why is Qingfeng so sure that the current leader of the underworld must be from Jin?
Why is it that Qingfeng, who doesn't even know who the other leaders are, is so sure that the leader of this shockingly large organization must be from Jin?
In fact, regarding this point, even if we don’t talk about Qingfeng, there are still two historical events related to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty that can be tested.
First, King Ping's eastward movement was completed by Jin Wenhou together with Zheng Wugong, Qin Xianggong and Wei Wugong.
This was also the first time in history that Jin played the role of speaker.
Secondly, the situation in which the two kings of the Zhou royal family existed side by side lasted for twenty-one years. Even after King Ping of Zhou moved eastward, this situation continued for several years.
The one who defeated King Zhou of Zhou and established King Ping as the orthodox king was also the king of Jin at that time - Marquis Wen of Jin.
Reconnecting to what Wen Qingfeng mentioned earlier, Shenhou, as the leader of the secret followers at that time, led the dog soldiers to cause trouble in Zongzhou. It can be said that his reputation was ruined, so it was natural that he lost the legitimacy to continue to lead the secret followers.
As his successor, Marquis Wen of Jin finally managed to bring order to the chaos. One deposed King You and the other supported King Ping.
The connection between the two is indeed not close.
In addition, let's think about the fact that the Jin State was the first to establish a political system of six ministers that was completely different from the princes of the Central Plains at that time. And how similar is this system to today's Dark Walkers?
Therefore, there is no doubt that everyone in the Jin Kingdom must be deeply tied to the Dark Walkers.
What's more, after the Jin State experienced the domination of the world twice by Wen Gong and Ai Gong, now, except for Chu, all the countries in the Central Plains call Jin the uncle.
As a powerful underground organization, the leader of the Dark Walkers must be a high-ranking person. Only in this way can the leaders of various countries be convinced.
And Qingfeng was once a high-ranking prime minister, but he was just one of the chiefs among the secret gangs, and he still didn't know who the other chiefs were.
From this, it is not difficult to deduce how deeply the identity of the leader of the secret gangs is hidden.
The reason why Qingfeng was certain that his leader was from Jin was precisely based on the above inference.
Upon hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help but think of several Jin people in his mind.
Zhao Wu, Han Qi, Wei Shu, Fan Yang...
These are all important people among the six ministers of the Jin Kingdom, and they are also very likely to be the leaders of this secret group.
Especially Han Qi.
Especially when Li Ran recalled some scenes of meeting Han Qi before and after the Pingqiu Meeting and even the Guodi Meeting, he felt more and more that some of Han Qi's actions seemed very strange.
He was not like Zhao Wu who only cared about the whole Jin State, nor was he like Yang Tiangui who spread morality with benevolence and righteousness and was famous for his credibility.
However, if you want to say that he is just a cunning and greedy young man, it is obviously not the case.
Han Qi, who has a complex personality and holds a high position, gives people an unpredictable feeling from the moment he steps on the stage of history.
What's more, if he is really the leader of the dark gang, it can't explain why he didn't directly save Ji Sunsu during the meeting in Pingqiu?
Yawenku
This is obviously unreasonable.
Therefore, it was difficult for Li Ran to make a direct judgment at this time. After all, these were just his intuitions.
However, at the same time, he finally understood why Shu Niu chose to flee the State of Lu in the first place?
Obviously, Shu Niu was a Ma Chai under Feng Duan when he was in the Zheng State, and Feng Duan and Ji Sun Yiru were in the same organization, so it was logical that Shu Niu was expelled by the Zheng State and then switched to Ji Sun Yiru.
"Doctor, please continue."
After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand slightly to signal Qingfeng to continue.
"Actually, I was once one of the seven principals and a powerful minister in charge of a country."
This was of course when he was Prime Minister.
"But now, I'm just a little guy working for the Dark Walkers."
Although he did not specify the specific time of his identity change, Li Ran was well aware of it.
After all, Qingfeng's reputation has plummeted since he was expelled from Qi State. Since the Dark Walkers are an organization that values personal identity and reputation so much, it is natural that Qingfeng will not be assigned the position of chief executive again.
As I said just now, the "Seven Lords" who work secretly do not refer to specific people, but the so-called seven top leaders. However, these seven people will always change.
From this, it is not difficult to see that although the promotion system adopted by the Dark Walkers is somewhat similar to the "Zhou Rites", it is completely different.
The biggest difference is that it is not a "hereditary" system, but more similar to a "survival of the fittest" system.
Whenever one of their positions changes, the leader of the Dark Walkers will directly select a suitable candidate to succeed him.
And informed the other five people about this situation.
Qingfeng was able to know this because he had experienced such internal personnel changes at the top of the secret industry.
After all, this was the situation when he first became the principal and when he stepped down from the position of principal.
Obviously, the advantage of this is that, except for the principal who was changed, the other principals can only know that the position of the principal has changed, but they do not know who it is.
This single-line contact method can greatly guarantee the security of the entire organization.
This ensures that even if one of them is exposed, the others will still be safe.
Especially for its leader.
Strictly speaking, if the top spot falls, then the next top spot will directly inherit and become the leader. Then the candidates selected by voting can only start from the bottom and slowly climb up.
And this ensures the safety of its leader to the greatest extent.
"By the way, how did you know that Ji Sun Yiru and Feng Duan are one of the seven principals?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Ran couldn't help but raise questions here.
Since they were all in single-line contact with the leader, how did Qingfeng know the identities of Ji Sun Yiru and Feng Duan?
Hearing the sound, Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh sadly, looked at Li Ran with approval and said:
"People all over the world say that Li Zi has a clear eye for subtle details and is unparalleled in wisdom. Now it seems that it is not all just hearsay and what others say."
Li Ran waved his hand disapprovingly, signaling him not to stray from the topic.
Qingfeng could only continue:
“Isn’t the reason why I know these two people are the ones in charge precisely because when I was still in charge, these two people took over?”
"In the Lu State, Ji Sun Yiru took over the position of his grandfather Ji Sun Su, while in the Zheng State, Feng Bo Shi inherited the position that Liang Xiao Liang Bo had."
"As for the other principals, as long as their positions have not changed, their identities will always remain a mystery."
Obviously, what Qingfeng meant was that during the period when he served as the leader of the secret gangs, he had only experienced changes in the positions of Ji Sun Yiru and Feng Duan, while the others were as stable as Mount Tai and had not experienced any changes during this period.
There have been personnel changes.
Therefore, the information he could obtain was limited to these two people.
And after he was deprived of his position as chief, he naturally had nothing to do with the personnel changes that secretly took place among the chiefs. Of course, he didn't know who the person in charge was now.
In other words, everyone who becomes the "Seven Lords" will never know who the other six people are unless they can survive the personnel changes in the other six positions and become the "leader".
.
Only the leader of the Dark Walkers has such privileges.
And this design seems to be similar to the "Six Ministers" seniority system that was first popular in the Jin Dynasty.
When Li Ran figured this out, he had to be impressed by the IQ of the system designer. After all, there were only a handful of people who could achieve this level of security for an underground organization from a system perspective.
You must know that this is the Spring and Autumn Period, an era that is more than two thousand and nearly three thousand years away from modern society.
The wisdom of the ancients does not deceive me. It is really unfathomable.
