Chapter 240 Inner Room

"What Zuo Bing Cao Shi said is exactly what I am worried about..."

Li Youshen agreed with Heifu's suggestion, because when it came to using space, his family was one of the best.

More than ten years ago, his father Li Si entered Xianyang for the first time. He first became a guest of Wenxinhou Lu Buwei, and then he was able to serve as a "lang", that is, an official of the king's attendants. In addition to Lang Wei, there are also Yi Lang,

There are many types of ministers, including ministers, ministers, and ministers. Li Si's job was to serve as a counselor, and he mainly stayed with the king for consultation.

It was in this position that Li Si was able to gain a glimpse of the Qin King's temperament, fall in line with his wishes, and lobby for "urgent annexation of the six kingdoms", showing his talents for the first time.

So the King of Qin was overjoyed, thinking that he had found a talent who was very similar to his own. He appointed him as Prime Minister Chang Shi, and asked Li Si to personally preside over it. He sent counselors carrying gold and jade to lobby the princes. If the princes' celebrities could be bought with money, they would use their wealth.

He gave gifts to make friends, but if he couldn't buy them, he stabbed them with a sharp sword! At the same time, he was also responsible for driving a wedge between the kings and ministers of the six countries. When his government was ruined, he used good generals and an army to attack him.

Later generations used this incident to make up the spy agency "Black Ice Platform".

So now that the Chu State sends assassins to assassinate the governor Teng, it is actually just repeating what the Qin State and the princes have done for hundreds of years, and there is nothing new.

Li You once heard his father talk about it. After doing this job for a few years, he was promoted to guest minister and his future was bright. It was not until the tenth year of the Qin Dynasty that he encountered a big crisis...

That year was truly eventful. First, the prime minister, Lu Buwei, was implicated in the Lao Ai case and was dismissed. At the same time, under the investigation of counselors and spies presided over by Li Si, the tired Qin plan of the Korean Zheng Guo to lobby the Qin State to overhaul the ditch was also exposed! According to Qin law

, Zheng Guo deserved death, and the King of Qin also developed a sense of distrust towards the scholars of the Six Kingdoms under the lobbying of his clansmen, so he expelled the guests!

As a native of Shangcai in Chu State, Li Si was also expelled, but unlike other guest officials who were dejected and ready to leave Qin State, he regarded this crisis as an opportunity. A "Book of Remonstrance and Expulsion of Guests" made King Qin change his mind and began to

Li Si was further promoted. At the same time, Li Si also became the benefactor and leader of the scholars in the Six Kingdoms of Qin at that time. From then on, he rose to the top of the court...

By the way, Li Si also brought his family to Xianyang, and the Li family began to completely abandon their past identities and become loyal ministers of the King of Qin.

That year, there was a Daliang native from Wei named Wei Liao who arrived in Qin at about the same time as Li You and others...

Wei Liao studied military strategism and belonged to the branch of "military power planners". He improved Li Si's strategy of using time to destroy the six kingdoms, recruit their talents, and alienate their monarchs and ministers, and further challenged the King of Qin.

propose:

"With the strength of Qin, the princes of the six countries are like the kings of prefectures and counties. However, I am afraid that the princes will unite again and attack Qin together with an unexpected force. This is the reason why King Min died because of Zhi Bo and Fu Cha. I hope the king will not

If you love wealth, you will bribe its powerful ministers to disrupt their plans, and if you don't lose three hundred thousand gold, then the princes will be gone!"

Paying 300,000 taels of gold can get the world. This account is simply more cost-effective than Lu Buwei's deal, so the King of Qin asked Li Si and Wei Liao to jointly take charge of this matter and cultivate the inner circle among the six countries.

What is "inner room"? Sun Tzu's Art of War said: "Inner room is used because of its officials." It refers to buying off the enemy's dignitaries and officials as spies, or using them to collect intelligence, or to encourage them to surrender.

Since the "inner circle" is mainly the enemy's "officials", these people often hold core secrets, have a deeper understanding of the enemy's politics and military aspects, and even hold certain military command rights. Once they are ours,

If used, it will cause huge, even fatal harm to the enemy!

Guo Kai of Zhao State and Hou Sheng of Qi State were both internal affairs of Qin State. Guo Kai helped Qin get rid of Li Mu, a serious enemy of Qi State, and Hou Sheng of Qi State conquered Han and Wei when Qin State conquered Yan and Zhao.

Let King Jian of Qi blindly pursue isolationism. When the fighting was going on outside, Qi was like an ostrich, burying its head deeply in the sand, saying: "As long as I don't resist Qin, King Qin will not be destroyed."

I……"

Under the auspices of Wei Liao and Li Si, the Qin State's inner realms spread throughout the six countries and tasted the sweetness of this strategy. So when Heifu said that the Chu State might also have left a lot of inner realms in Nanjun, the former Qin

Li You, the son of the country's spy chief, suddenly became vigilant.

Li Youjie did not believe that the other counties were within the Chu Kingdom, because he had great confidence in Qin's legal system, but Nanjun was an exception.

Nanjun, as the former inner territory of Chu State, is still called "Western Chu" by some today, and its folk language, culture and customs are consistent with those of Huaibei.

What's even more terrible is that in addition to the three long-term officials of Shou Ling, Wei, and Cheng, there are many former Chu nobles in the counties and counties. After surrendering to Qin, these people turned into Qin officials and controlled

Although the real power of each Cao Cao and each township has been regarded as a Qin people after two or three generations, and the laws of Qin are its teachings, it can be seen from what happened during the Shangsi Festival that the Chu poems and poems were popular among the local scholars, and the officials

Wearing Chu-style high crowns is considered an honor, and many people even miss Chu, thinking that was a good time for nobles!

"The subordinates also think so."

Heifu continued to encourage: "Last year, Qin was defeated by Chu. Those who don't know the general situation may have strange thoughts and accept bribes from the Chu people to become their insiders..."

In this way, Li You, who was surrounded by his father and knew the dangers of the insider, finally made up his mind: "Thief Cao, you and the prison officer will continue to investigate the assassination case thoroughly. You must follow the clues and find out the insider behind it."

!”

Then Li You looked at Heifu again: "If those people inside resist with the help of their guest tribesmen, and Cao Cao, the left soldier, you will lead the county soldiers to wipe them out!"



The thief Cao is responsible for theft, similar to the Provincial Public Security Department in later generations. Tang Qian is the father of Tang Jue, who was dumped by the woman in yellow at the Shangsi Festival blind date party. Tang Jue has now joined the medical and emergency personnel, and is considered Hei Fu's subordinate.

Therefore, Tang Qian also had some friendship with him. After leaving the prefect's mansion, he complained to Hei Fu:

"Zuo Bing Cao Shi, it's not easy to catch him here."

Tang Qian had his own difficulties. Nowadays, most of the chief officials and subordinate officials in the county are descendants of the scholar-bureaucrats of Chu State. The connections and accumulation left by the family cannot be easily eliminated. People like Heifu who are from common people

, on the contrary, it is a strange thing.

Therefore, Tang Qian thought that if a large-scale investigation was carried out, new turmoil would be triggered. By then, all the officials in Jiangling City would be in danger, and the local clans would also be uneasy. Wouldn't the order of Nanjun be in chaos?

Heifu's real purpose was not to "track down the inner world". Anyway, once the Chu Kingdom was destroyed, everything would not matter. The original inner room had to settle down as a Qin official, until more than ten years later, the new situation at the end of the Qin Dynasty

Only when the storm and fire ignited did they have a chance to reappear...

So Hei Fu comforted Tang Qian and said: "Of course most of the officials are good officials of Qin, but there is a small group of insiders who have Chu State's intentions. Didn't the county lieutenant just say that while handling the assassination case, he will follow the clues and secretly investigate

That’s it, don’t make a big show of it to scare others away.”

At this time, Hei Fu saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said: "But I have a clue here, which may be useful to the thief Cao Yu..."

Tang Qian was a little surprised: "Oh? What did Zuo Bing Cao Shi find?"

Heifu smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with the Jiangling case. It is about my hometown Anlu. I suspect that there is also an inner circle in Anlu County! It has been secretly communicating with the Chu State!"

Tang Qian was overjoyed. He urgently needed results that could be delivered to Li You, so he urged: "Please ask Zuo Bing Cao Shi to explain in detail."

"This clue involves a key witness, Hu Gong Douran of Chu State who was captured last year. He once mentioned that there was an old minister of the Ruo'ao family in Anlu County who had correspondence with him, but he did not say who it was! Now that I think about it,

, that person is probably a member of the Chu State, who has been leaking the truth about Anlu to the Chu State."

"This is happening!" Tang Qian was a little surprised and asked, "I wonder where Dou Ran is now?"

Heifu said: "Two months ago, I asked the warden to send a love letter to Nanyang County and transfer Dou Ran to Nanjun to investigate the matter thoroughly. Just today, after I left the county governor's house, I went to the warden again and found that

Dou Ran has been taken to the county jail and is preparing to be interrogated tomorrow! I will serve as a witness and confront Dou Ran to force him to tell the name of the interrogator! Once confirmed, I hope that the thief Cao Yu can help me.

He is arrested and brought to justice!"



ps: I recently studied the salary of each position in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and reset the number of stones for each position in the county: two thousand stones for the county guard, two thousand stones for the county captain, six hundred stones for the county magistrate, three hundred stones for each chief officer, each

Cao Zuo Shi's level is two hundred stones, and Heifu is currently at this level. The previous setting was too high.
