After a while, Li Ru rushed over.
"I pay my respects to my lord," Li Ru waved his sleeves and opened his arms in a salute.
Liu Cheng waved his hand: "No need to be polite to Zhao Rui, please tell Wen You what Kong Rong has been doing these days."
"Yes, lord" Zhao Rui agreed, and immediately turned around and told Li Ru again what he had just reported to Liu Cheng.
After hearing this, Li Ru cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I think that Kong Rong cannot be allowed to jump up and down like this, but after all, he is the young man, and he was recruited by the imperial court to serve in Chang'an.
If we use violence or attack against him without evidence, I'm afraid it will Despite the criticism Kong Rong came from a noble family, but he was a learned man after all, and his reputation among the government and the public was extraordinary.
Not to mention those members of the noble family, even students from poor families and great Confucians all admired his knowledge, but his subordinates did not.
And I thought I couldn’t go to war.”
Zhao Rui said dissatisfied: "Master Li, aren't you talking a lot of nonsense?
Come on, be honest.
If he secretly contacts a group of ministers, it will not be good."
Li Ru thought for a while and soon came up with an idea.
He handed over to Liu Cheng and said, "My lord, just ask Commander Zhao to send some men to keep an eye on Kong Rong day and night.
No matter where he goes, they will follow him from a distance.
He knows that he must let the people who come into contact with him know that this way, both him and the people who come in contact with him will be wary.
In this way, Kong Wenju will not be able to do anything, even if someone wants to do something with him , will also be scared and shrink back.”
After hearing this, Liu Cheng nodded, but then frowned and said: "Your method is a good one, but by saying this, you are telling him that the court does not trust him."
Li Ru said with a smile: "My lord, you are a fan of the authorities.
When he was the Prime Minister of Beihai, Kong Wenju joined forces with the Guandong princes to rebel against the imperial court within a few months.
Now several years have passed and he has come to Chang'an to serve as the Shaofu." , this shows that the imperial court is still at ease with him, but it cannot be unprepared.
The imperial court sends people to keep an eye on him.
It seems reasonable to everyone.
If you ignore him completely and let him jump up and down, it will appear abnormal.
After Kong Wenju thought that he was a saint, the court did not dare to do anything to him.
He thought that Kong Wenju was good at learning and writing.
Well, if he makes friends with ministers everywhere in the court and is suspected of forming cliques, the court will not dare to do anything to him."
Liu Cheng weighed it up and agreed to Li Ru's suggestion, saying: "In that case, I will leave this matter to you to take charge of Zhao Rui.
You send two groups of people to watch Kong Wenju day and night and follow him wherever he goes.
If anything happens, report it directly to Wen You, and Wen You will decide how to deal with it."
The two of them bowed together and said, "Yes, my lord."
Li Ru withdrew, but Zhao Rui was left behind by Liu Cheng.
"I wonder if my lord has any other instructions?"
Zhao Rui asked.
Liu Chengping retreated, and only he and Zhao Rui were left in the lobby.
He asked: "Now there are only you and me.
If you have anything to say, just say it.
There is no need to worry about anything.
Let me ask you, where is the Bronze Mirror Department in Chang'an City?"
How many craftsmen are there?
How many ministers, officials and generals have the craftsmen of the Bronze Mirror Division lurking around or in their homes?"
Zhao Rui cupped his fists and said: "There are currently 629 people working in the field in Chang'an.
Among the officials, military generals or ministers with a rank of 300 stone or above, there are people from the Bronze Mirror Department."
Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment.
If Zhao Rui's words were spread, I'm afraid the whole court would immediately be in uproar.
You must know that many of them are Liu Cheng's confidants, and many of them are confidants of his confidants.

They are all very Someone worthy of trust.
Liu Cheng almost lost his mind, but fortunately he controlled it very well, and the expression on his face did not change at all.
He asked: "Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Jia Xu, Yan Xing, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Wang Shuang and others are around them."
There are also detailed works by the Bronze Mirror Department.”
Zhao Rui answered honestly: "Yes" "Where are the emperor, Tang Fei and other concubines in the palace?"
"All" Liu Cheng took a deep breath and solemnly ordered: "Except for me, no third person must know about this matter, otherwise you will wait for Xiang Shang's head to be moved."
Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Rui's forehead, and he clasped his fists in fear: "I guarantee with my head that no third party will know."
Liu Cheng thought for a while and asked: "If something happens to you, have you considered whether the Bronze Mirror Company's fine network will lose control and I will lose control of it?"
Zhao Rui hurriedly started thinking.
This was indeed a very serious problem that he had ignored, and if this problem was not properly solved, his head would be moved at any time.
He wiped his sweat repeatedly, and finally he came up with a way, and said quickly: "My subordinates believe that the roster and contact information of Xizuo.com are updated on a fixed day every month.
If the contact information and personnel on the roster change, Then it will be handed over to the Lord immediately after the update."
Liu Cheng thought for a while and said: "You can keep a copy of the roster and contact information within the Bronze Mirror Division.
The records sent to me must be kept for everyone within the Bronze Mirror Division, whether they are officials or field staff."
For file registration, a special file storage department must be established, dedicated personnel should be assigned to manage it, and strict rules and regulations must be formulated.
Those who do not reach a certain official rank will not have the authority to access the files of relevant personnel.”
Zhao Rui immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I will start the process as soon as I get back."
Liu Cheng didn't know how scary and scary the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty was.
After all, he had never lived in the Ming Dynasty, but now he could really feel how rapid the development momentum of the Bronze Mirror Division had been in recent years, and this Bronze Mirror The department is still an open official office under the supervisory system.
Whether it is the court ministers or officials or the common people, they only see its surface and have no idea that it has penetrated deeply into almost all power agencies and powerful people.
Although the Secret Camp and the Shadow Guard Division have also developed in recent years, they are far behind the development momentum of the Bronze Mirror Division.
There is a reason for this.
Xiang Shuo Secret Camp was adapted from the former Tiqi.
At first, it was only responsible for gathering information on the streets of the city.
The scale was not large.
The information obtained was only some information from the market.
There was nothing major that could have an impact on the situation.
The secret camp was later handed over to Jia Xu by Liu Cheng.
Here, after Jia Xu took over, he rectified it and gave it a specific organizational structure and framework.
However, due to limited funds, the development was relatively full.
Later, Liu Cheng asked Guo Jia to be Jia Xu's deputy and left.
Part of Jia Xu's power also made the intelligence organization develop more slowly.
However, the role of the secret camp is also obvious.
It has a good understanding of economic changes, people's living standards, and political dynamics across the country.
It provides a lot of intelligence support for Liu Cheng's policy.
The person in charge of the Shadow Guard Department is Wang Yue.
Wang Yue's swordsmanship is said to be second in the world, and no one dares to admit that he is the best in the world.
This man is very loyal.
This is his advantage, but it is also a major shortcoming.
A person like him would certainly be able to answer every call, but it would be difficult for him to do intelligence work.
At the beginning, Liu Cheng had no choice, so he paid for him to gather a group of his apprentices, and organized some heroes to form the Shadow Guards.
The Shadow Guards did a good job in assassination operations, but they collected intelligence and developed organizations.
I really can't praise it.
Liu Cheng has been trying to find someone to replace Wang Yue for the past year.
However, considering that Wang Yue was the first commander of the Shadow Guard Division and the founder of the Shadow Guard Division, replacing this person rashly would be a waste of time and money. , judging from the current situation, Wang Yue is indeed not suitable for intelligence, and someone must be found to replace him.

To replace Wang Yue, Liu Cheng believes that he must choose someone from within the Film and Security Department, and that this person should not be too arrogant or too loyal.
He must have a view of the overall situation and, more importantly, be loyal.
With these conditions , there are only a few who are qualified.
When Liu Cheng was selecting people from the internal roster of the Film and Security Department, the captain on duty outside the door came in and reported: "Lord, Mr.
Zhang Ji wants to see you."
"Let him in" "yes" Zhang Ji walked in and saluted: "Zhang Ji pays homage to the lord" Liu Cheng closed the register and asked, "Zhang Ji, what do you want to report here?"
"Back to my lord, it has been a while since Prince Gu Xidun of Jiankun and his party came to Chang'an.
He has made two appeals to his officials to enter the palace to meet the emperor as soon as possible.
He said that after meeting the emperor, he would be rewarded and he would hurry up.
Return to Jiankun” Liu Chengdao: "It's already early November.
Jiankun has been covered with heavy snow for a long time, and Mobei has also been frozen by heavy snow.
How can we go back?
But they have been here for a while, and they are always asked to stay.
It's not a problem at the post house.
Then arrange a time for him to meet the emperor.
Your Honglu Temple has determined the date and reported to me.
Envoys from the vassal state will come to meet the emperor.
I must be present. " "If my lord has no other arrangements after three days, then arrange the date for Gu Sidden to meet the emperor three days later."
"Okay, I will send someone here to tell His Majesty the Emperor."
Zhao Rui sent people to keep an eye on Kong Rong, and the action was quickly planned and executed.
The two teams of spies from the Bronze Mirror Division stared at Kong Rong 12 hours a day, 24 hours a day, all day long.
Kong Rong didn't take it seriously at first and let them go.
Followed, but within two days, Kong Rong couldn't stand it, not because of Because they made him feel uncomfortable, all the ministers and officials in the court stopped contacting him.
The officials who had talked with him a few days ago noticed that someone from the Bronze Mirror Department was staring at Kong Rong.
I stopped interacting with him.
This was what made him intolerable and angry.
"How can this be true?
How can it be true?
This is simply too much!"
Kong Rong was furious in his mansion.
The two disciples next to him comforted him: "Teacher, please calm down.
Being so angry can hurt your body.
But in my opinion, you have indeed gone too far in the past few days.
No matter which court minister you are, no one will do it so frequently when you first take office."
You’re visiting other ministers, not to mention you’re also visiting a military general, so it’s no wonder you’re being targeted.”
Another disciple said: "Teacher, I think you should pay a visit to Cai Yong."
Kong Rong frowned.
Ever since Cai Yong surrendered to Dong Zhuo, he had looked down on Cai Yong.
But now he had no other choice.
He nodded and said, "Shan, you two go make arrangements.
We will go to Cai Mansion tomorrow." call":
