Chapter 189: The first thing a new official does when he takes office
Zhuo Chunfeng, a horse-faced man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, went up to the general stage and gave an impassioned inaugural speech. If he hadn't been a new official, he would have been filled with complaints.
In this cold weather, it would be really hard for a guy to stand in the ice and snow and listen to him bragging.
But no one was dissatisfied, at least on the surface.
"All counselors, generals and above, went to Sansi Hall to discuss matters. Everyone else has dispersed!"
I breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over, my feet were numb from the cold.
For a low-level miscellaneous official like Luo Xing, the next step is what to do and what else to do, and Ye Liuli and Qingyi have to go to Sansi Hall to accept the torture of Zhuo Chunfeng.
Luo Xing said hello to Hua Laosan and others, and then he slipped away to find his master Meng Yi in the secret file.
As soon as he gave Meng Yi a brief description of what happened on the school grounds, someone informed him outside the door that Zhuo Chunfeng, the newly appointed governor, invited him to Sansi Hall to discuss matters.
Zhuo Chunfeng sent someone to invite him. If Meng Yi refused to give him face, he would be despising the new governor of Nanya. He left Luo Xing behind and followed the visitor to Sansi Hall.
What happened in Sansi Hall was not his concern, but he was afraid that his relaxed days in Nanya would never come again.
This Zhuo Chunfeng has a close relationship with the Su family, especially the one in the palace. It is said that he was able to rise to the top because of the strength of the one in the palace.
This kind of rumor can only be believed 10% at most. If Zhuo Chunfeng really has no ability at all, he can be promoted from a small civilian promotion officer to the commander of the Intelligence Department in just over ten years.
This is also extremely rare in the history of Nanya.
If you have outstanding ability, skill, and support from noble people, it will be difficult to get ahead.
Otherwise, how could he squeeze out a royal prince who had been the governor of Nanya for twenty years? Is it just because Ye Hou is old and has reached the age to retire?
As long as a first-grade grandmaster's health is fine, he can do what he wants and do it until he dies.
One emperor, one courtier.
The next adjustment and turbulence of Nanya is inevitable. It depends on where Zhuo Chunfeng will burn his first fire.
Continue to translate "The True Interpretation of the Spiritual Way". This thing is really profound. Every time it is translated, even if a word is slightly changed or the sentence is different, it will have a different meaning.
The breadth and depth of this text is indeed fascinating, and his way of thinking is somewhat different from that of people in this world.
He used his own philosophical views to understand the things in "The True Interpretation of Spiritual Dao", which was deviated from Meng Yi's understanding, or even completely opposite. This was the spark formed in the discussion. Both parties were making progress, and Meng Yi
The progress seems to be greater.
Meng Yi's cultivation in the spiritual realm has been advancing by leaps and bounds recently. According to this situation, he will soon be able to break through the first level of the spiritual realm.
This was more than ten times faster than he expected.
The reason is that only the master leads his disciples in practice. When he takes on a disciple, it seems to be the other way around. Except for some experience, he seems to still be led by his disciple in terms of practice. However, the disciple has only been practicing for a short time and has not yet caught up with his cultivation level.
Judging from the current situation, even if his apprentice's martial arts is not extraordinary, it is only a matter of time before his spiritual path breaks through to the spiritual realm.
He didn't dare to mention these. Firstly, he couldn't leak the secrets. Secondly, he was afraid that young people would be too proud and easily go astray. This would not only destroy a spiritual genius, but also bring a huge disaster to the world.
Luo Xing himself didn't pay attention to this at all, he was enjoying the pleasure of learning and understanding the mysteries of the world.
This is an inner strength.
Waiting until the time was almost up and Mengyi hadn't come back yet, he collected the translated manuscript and went to Huo Shanzi's residence.
"Master Huo, I want to change your place?"
"Something happened in Nan Ya?" Huo Shanzi had guessed something about the situation. It would happen sooner or later. Ye Hong left one by one. Zhuo Chunfeng had the final say in Nan Ya. Whether he could tolerate Huo Shanzi continuing to stay in Nan Ya
It's hard to say in Ya'an.
A disabled senior blacksmith, even if he can teach other blacksmiths in the office, the risk is still not small.
Zhuo Chunfeng may not take this risk for Luo Xing, this is human nature.
"Well, Zhuo Chunfeng took office today."
"Zhuo Chunfeng, I heard that this person is cruel and ruthless, and he is not easy to deal with." Huo Shanzi just lived in seclusion, and it was not that he was blind. Zhuo Chunfeng was also the number one person in Nanya, so it was normal for him to have heard something.
"What do you think? I just built a house anyway. The place is very spacious. But if I live in it, it might not be as convenient as here. I don't have any servants at home, just a former subordinate. What do you think?"
"If you don't mind it, I'll go back and live with you. Anyway, I have hands and feet, and I used to live alone, so it's not a big deal." Huo Shanzi laughed.
"Okay, then I'll make arrangements for you right now." Luo Xing nodded, "Pack your things and I'll pick you up when I get off duty."
"I have nothing to pack, so it's okay to leave with you now."
"Let's wait until the next shift. This new official takes office, and I won't get into trouble." Luo Xing chuckled, put away the silver needle, and hid it in his arms.
"Xiao Qi, you have become famous in the past two days. I have heard about it. You cured Liu Zhimei, the wife of Cheng Guogong Shenzhuang?"
"Master Huo, why do you believe such rumors? I don't have the ability to cure Liu Zhimei's disease. It only delays her life for a few days. I don't know what the spread of rumors has become." Luo Xing explained.
road.
"Even so, you are much better than the doctors at the Royal Pharmacy Bureau and Yaowang Valley!"
"Skills have specializations. As for me, I'm just a blind cat who meets a dead mouse, and I just happened to do it." Luo Xing chuckled.
"Don't be modest. I have personally experienced your medical skills. After your treatment these days, my hand has recovered by 30%. How can this be false?" Huo Shanzi said seriously.
"I really don't need them to help me become famous. I don't want to be a doctor. It's too hard." Luo Xing finished packing and said, "You, rest, I'm leaving."
…
The responsibility of the Intelligence Department is not to investigate cases, nor is it even the job of the Intelligence Department to do counterintelligence. Counterintelligence is the purview of the Jing'an Department.
If there is a spy within the Intelligence Department, how can the Intelligence Department conduct its own internal investigation? The Security Department, which has nothing to do with the Intelligence Department, must conduct the investigation.
Therefore, the Jing'an Department has supervisory powers over the Intelligence Department.
The first thing Zhuo Chunfeng did when he took office was the Jing'an Department. He wanted to separate the counterintelligence department within the Jing'an Department and establish a separate department.
This involves the institutional reform of Nanya. Nanya has continued the rules set by the founding of the country for so many years. Now, a sudden addition of a department has completely caught everyone off guard.
Except for Zhuo Chunfeng's direct descendants, everyone else expressed opposition. Once Nanya's rules are revealed, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction.
But it seems necessary to establish a specialized counter-espionage department. After all, the bloody lessons of the Nanchu Jinling Group are right in front of us.
If there is such a big internal problem, if it is not solved, it will happen again.
But if you want to establish a separate department, or even have an additional commander, this has a different meaning, and everyone is naturally opposed to it.
Because once the counter-espionage department is established, it will be superior to the other three departments, because its authority is counter-espionage, and once it is supported by Zhuo Chunfeng in this name, the power of this department will inevitably expand.
If Su Changhe was in charge of the Intelligence Department, then at least one of the three departments would support Zhuo Chunfeng. But now, none of the commanders of the three departments supported it, not even Sima Lun, who was known for fishing, did not nod.
Not to mention the Jing'an Division whose power was taken away.
If a separate counterintelligence department is to be established, it will definitely not be directly transferred from the Jing'an Department, and the chief officer must be someone from Zhuo Chunfeng. In this way, the power of the Jing'an Department will be reduced. Today it is counterintelligence, and tomorrow it will be spy selection and training. , bit by bit cannibalized the Jing'an Division, and the Jing'an Division became the miscellaneous department of Nanya.
The original three departments cooperated with each other, supervised and restricted each other. The Jing'an Department was responsible for providing personnel and equipment, and the Intelligence Department was responsible for implementation. Although the Staff Department was independent, strategic planning was designated by the Staff Department. The Intelligence Department and the Jing'an Department All tasks must be completed within the framework defined by the staff department.
The idea is good, but the ideal is a bit fuller. Moreover, a system has been implemented for three hundred years. Even if the system remains unchanged, the implementation has long been out of shape.
The argument in San Si Tang was very fierce. In the end, Zhuo Chunfeng proposed a compromise plan. The counterintelligence department remained in the Jing'an Division, but became independent. It no longer designated a certain person to take charge of the case as before, but In addition to reporting to the commander of the Jing'an Division, this department also reports to the Secretary of the Metropolitan Governor.
This is tantamount to taking away the power of counterintelligence investigation from the Jing'an Department in disguise, but then it will be a game between the Jing'an Department and the Governor's Secretary.
After all, this department is still within the Jing'an Department, and personnel deployment also belongs to the Jing'an Department. Whoever can control the people in this department will control this department.
Zhuo Chunfeng is definitely going to recruit people into this department, and they must be people he trusts.
As for the counterintelligence department, let’s call it the Special Investigation Division. How will the personnel be allocated? What cases will it investigate after it is established?
Could it be the Nanchu Jinling spy leak case?
…
Yaowang Valley Luojing Branch Baicao Pavilion.
The best courtyard has been cleaned up, and the injured saint Xue Shangxiang moved in as soon as she arrived. At the same time, Baicao Pavilion strictly blocked the news from the outside world.
"Uncle Donglin!" Sun Wei hurried back from Shen's Mansion after hearing the news, and saluted the elder who looked tired because of the rush.
He is from the Sun family and is the nephew of the great elder in terms of seniority. Otherwise, he would not be qualified to take charge of such an important position in the Luojing branch.
"What did Mr. Shen say?"
"He doesn't have a ninth-grade rejuvenation pill in his hand. He only has a sixth-grade one. If we need it, he can transfer it to us." Sun Wei lowered his head and said.
"The sixth-grade medicine is probably not powerful enough. It would be great if I could get a ninth-grade rejuvenation pill." Great Elder Sun Donglin said.
"Even if the Imperial Pharmacy has the Ninth Grade Rejuvenation Pill, it would not dare to give it to anyone easily. It must be ordered by the Emperor," Sun Wei said.
"Then go into the palace and ask for it from the emperor!" Sun Donglin felt a fire building up in his heart. If it weren't for the saint, he would have had an attack long ago.
"this……"
"I'm not asking for your opinion, but asking you to make arrangements immediately!"
