Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day when Hu Hai went to Tingwei Mansion to take office. He had been completely crazy in the past few days.
In the morning, before Lin Ze got up early to practice martial arts, Hu Hai took the guards out of the Lin Mansion and went to have fun somewhere.
In the evening, Lin Ze had finished his supper but hadn't seen Hu Hai come back yet. He went out early and came back late. Those who didn't know thought that Hu Hai was very busy.
On this morning, Hu Hai was reluctantly called up by Huang Banban. Under the service of a group of eunuchs and maids, he put on the official uniform of Tingwei's right eunuch, got on the arranged carriage, and went to Tingwei's mansion.
Lin Ze is currently discussing with Chen Ping about establishing an intelligence system.
Lin Ze asked: "How have you prepared these days?"
Chen Ping cupped his hands and said: "I have sorted out the overall planning and development direction. I will ask my uncle to help me discuss it later to see if any modifications are needed."
Lin Ze asked with a smile: "Tell me about it."
Chen Ping said eloquently: "The system is completely based on the Tingwei Mansion, and the personnel are divided into intelligence collectors and intelligence analyzers.
The level is also like that of Tingwei Mansion. I named it secret guards. There are ordinary secret guards, secret guard small flags, secret guard general flags, secret guards 100 households, secret guards 1000 households, secret guards commanding Qianshi, and secret guards commanding seven.
It’s a full-time position, and you can be promoted if you work hard.”
"As for the direction of development, we should focus on Chang'an first, then spread to Guanzhong, and finally reach the whole world."
"To be specific, we need to establish intelligence points first, connect each point to form a line, and intertwine each line to form a network, covering the whole world. At this point, no one in the world can escape our surveillance."
After hearing this, Lin Ze touched his palm and said, "Great kindness." Chen Ping is indeed a great talent in the world. He has a clear enough overall awareness and has taken into account everything that should be considered.
However, Lin Ze planned to eliminate some targets, so he said to Chen Ping: "After Chang'an is established, priority will be given to establishing an intelligence system in Yangcheng and Peixian, focusing on tracking down Chen She, Wu Guang, Liu Ji and Zhang Liang
Wait for their whereabouts and report them to me immediately if you find them anywhere."
After killing Chen She and Wu Guang, I guess there won't be any problems like that in Dazexiang. Now that Hu Hai is gradually becoming more and more successful, and his chances of succeeding to the throne are getting bigger and bigger, it's time to remove some sources of danger.
Chen Ping couldn't help but feel doubtful. It was normal for his uncle to pursue Liu Ji and Zhang Liang. After all, his uncle was attacked by these two people last time in the mountains. But who were Chen She and Wu Guang? How could he attract such attention from his uncle?
Chen Ping couldn't figure it out for a moment. After writing down his name secretly, he said: "What is still missing now is the help and personnel of the young master."
Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "Young Master has gone to Tingwei Mansion to take up his post today. When he settles down, he will definitely help you. In terms of manpower, how many people are still missing?"
Chen Ping smiled bitterly when he heard this: "There are too many shortages. Even with the previous manpower, it is not enough to monitor Chang'an City and the surrounding hundreds of miles."
Lin Ze frowned and said, "Such a shortage? Didn't you ask Eunuch Huang to transfer some people to you before?"
Chen Ping shook his head: "Eunuch Huang is also in urgent need of manpower. It is very difficult to squeeze out thirty people for me this time, but the salary is still a drop in the bucket, which is far from enough."
Lin Ze pondered for a while and said: "This matter can be easily solved. I will give you a warrant later. You go to Han Xin and ask him to send you a thousand smart people from the Sirius Army. In this way, your
The urgent need is solved.
As for the vacancies in the Sirius Army, let Han Xin go to Huangzhuang to recruit new soldiers. As long as they don't cost more than five thousand, the young master will take care of them."
"However, it may not be enough to solve the urgent need. After all, the intelligence system needs to be expanded to the whole world. Later, I will ask the Wei family and the Lu family to collect two thousand children and teenagers for you. You arrange people and train them carefully. After a few years,
You no longer have to worry about having no one available.”
When Chen Ping heard this, the sadness on his face disappeared and he smiled: "Thank you, uncle, for your support."
Lin Ze smiled and replied: "Is there any difficulty?"
Chen Ping thought for a moment and said, "I have a small question. Please give me a name for this intelligence system."
Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "Everyone leaves their hometown because they want to gain wealth and finally return home in fine clothes. This is also the honor that everyone wants. I hope that everyone who joins this intelligence system will have glory. Why not just call them Jinyiwei?
.”
In fact, Lin Ze was too lazy to think of other names, so he chose the famous Jin Yiwei in history, hoping that it would be as frightening as the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty.
Chen Ping's face was solemn and he said seriously: "Uncle Master has good intentions and Ping has understood it. Please rest assured, Uncle Master, Ping will definitely make everyone in Jinyiwei feel the glory."
Lin Ze replied seriously: "Well, you and I can encourage each other."
While the two were chatting happily, a servant came over and said, "To inform the military advisor, there is someone outside the door who claims to be from Tingwei Mansion and said he has something to ask you."
After hearing this, Lin Ze smiled and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Hu Hai to react so quickly this time. He sent someone over just after he went over. It seems you need to work harder."
Chen Ping nodded solemnly.
Lin Ze said to the servant: "Invite him to the living room and serve him tea and snacks. I will wait for him in the living room."
After the servant was saved, he left in a hurry.
In the living room, Lin Ze saw a servant walking in with a guard in black. He cupped his hands and said, "This general has come a long way to work hard. Please take a seat quickly."
Unexpectedly, the guard in black asked cautiously: "Are you Lin Ze?"
Lin Ze nodded: "If it's fake, it will be replaced."
Upon hearing this, the black-clothed guard immediately saluted and said: "The young black-clothed guard, Zhang Han, pays homage to Master Lin Ze."
Lin Ze couldn't help but be a little stunned: "Why did Mr. Zhang say this? I am not a great man."
A look of panic flashed across Zhang Han's face: "The adults are trying to offend the younger ones. The younger ones can't bear to be called adults. Please don't say that."
Lin Ze felt something bad in his heart and said, "What exactly happened? Why did you come to me? Why don't you tell the truth quickly?"
Zhang Han saluted repeatedly and apologized: "Mr. Lin, please forgive me. The thing is like this. Today, Lord Tingwei Meng and the right prisoner Hu Hai were discussing matters. They found that there was still a vacant commander position in Tingwei Mansion. The two adults discussed it and decided.
You are appointed as the tenth commander of the Tingwei Mansion."
Lin Ze was stunned and couldn't help but said: "For such an important official position, it doesn't matter what they said. It must be done only with His Majesty's will."
Zhang Han swallowed his saliva and said: "The two adults have already written to Your Majesty. Before I came, His Majesty's imperial edict was sent to Tingwei Mansion, so the two adults asked me to come over and invite Mr. Lin to come."
Lin Ze felt like his head had been hit, and he shouted angrily: "Hu Hai, you tricked me."
However, Chen Ping and Zhang Han selectively refused to listen and waited quietly for Lin Ze to finish venting.
After the imperial edict was issued, the matter was a foregone conclusion. Lin Ze said helplessly to Zhang Han: "I already know about this matter. You go back and tell the two adults first, saying that I have arranged my personal affairs and will definitely go to Tingwei Mansion tomorrow.
My regards to you two adults."
Zhang Han stood there, looking embarrassed.
Lin Ze couldn't help but ask: "You should leave."
Zhang Han smiled bitterly and replied: "The rules of the black guards are that if you don't invite someone back, it will be regarded as a mission failure, and merit will be deducted. Those who are assessed every year will be demoted to the last three. I don't dare to return empty-handed, sir."
Forgive me."
Lin Ze couldn't help being stunned and said: "Then you go to the door and wait for me. I will follow you after I finish handling it."
Zhang Han said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your understanding." Then he ran out immediately.
The Black Guards stipulate that if you encounter a superior officer who is higher than yourself when performing a task, if there are other orders, the officer's order will prevail.
In Liu Han's view, the imperial edict had been issued, and Lin Ze was already a serious officer of the Tingwei Mansion. He ordered himself to wait for him at the door. He could not be blamed for the fact that the task was not completed.
Lin Ze really didn't want to enter the officialdom, as that would consume a lot of his energy and would be detrimental to his martial arts improvement, but Hu Hai really tricked him this time.
Chen Ping was still waiting to recruit people, so Lin Ze hurriedly wrote three letters to him and asked him to go to various places to recruit people.
After Chen Ping left, Lin Ze deliberately changed into clean and neat clothes, took the four elders of Fang Xiandao, and followed Zhang Han in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
