Chapter 639 "King, I'm afraid that the minister's ability is limited, and he will be embarrassed by the heavy responsibility" Gu Chen rarely began to stutter a little. 78 no pop-up window update fast "There is no doubt about your ability, and I can trust it."
Tang Yin Zhengse said: "As for the manpower, you don't have to worry, our army's millions of soldiers, all the rank below the rank of corps commander, you can choose, you don't need to apply, you can directly report to me, the staffing is tentatively set at 30,000." ” Gu Chen's eyes widened and widened, and he looked at Tang Yin in disbelief.
The latter said faintly: "The dark arrow is like a sharp knife, it can plunge into the heart of the enemy anytime and anywhere.
Gu Chen, I hope you can build a shadow for me, who can monitor every move, word and deed of any official under the Wind Country.
I've already thought of a name for you, it's called Shadow. ” What Tang Yin said was too shocking for Gu Chen, and he seemed at a loss for a while.
He stammered, "Great King, courtier" "Don't talk nonsense about lack of ability and embarrassment" Tang Yin said: "I don't want the world to know that there is a shadow, I have told you so much, if you don't accept it, you say, how should I close your mouth?"
Gu Chen shivered, he understood that the king didn't give himself room to refuse at all, either accept it or die.
He frowned and pondered for a moment, knelt on the ground, and said: "The king's kindness to the minister, the minister is unforgettable, and the king's order, even if the minister goes to the soup, he will not give up." ” "Well, it's good" looked down at Gu Chen who was kneeling on the ground, Tang Yin nodded with satisfaction, and then his face turned straight and said, "Gu Chen listens to the seal" "The Minister" "This king has appointed you as the imperial inspector, promoted to the title of earl, and given the sword" Gu Chen inhaled, the imperial patrol envoy was an official position of the imperial court, and Fang Baojian was also exclusive to the Son of Heaven Tang Yin looked at him and smiled, and said: "In the future, all the expenses required for the establishment and maintenance of the Shadow will be provided by the imperial court, and the treasury of the Wind Country will not be used, do you understand what I mean?"
Gu Chen was astute, and it was clear at one point, Ma understood why the king wanted to seal his official position in the imperial court.
The king didn't want anyone to know about the existence of the Shadow, so he deliberately avoided the Wind Country at the expense and transferred it to the Imperial Court, in fact, the money of the Imperial Court was provided by the Wind Country, and the actual Shadow was still raised by the Wind Country, which was just to avoid people's eyes and ears.
As for Fang Baojian, it is also a disguise, at best, it can allow him to use the banner of the Son of Heaven, and it can be relatively convenient to investigate cases in the local area.
"Minister, I see."
"Except for you and me and the members of the Shadow, there must be no third party who knows the name of the Shadow, let alone the organization of the Shadow, so when choosing people, you must be cautious, that is, you must be capable, but also loyal, male or female, old and young, but whoever joins, if you want to quit halfway, then you have to find a way to keep him shut up forever The trained Shadow Personnel will be assigned by you, placed in various places, and monitor the actions of officials in various places, if any illegal acts are found, the Shadow Personnel can report their crimes to you, Then you will give it to me directly. ” "Yes, King" Gu Chen knelt on the ground, wiping a cold sweat while agreeing.
He didn't know how the king had come up with the idea of establishing the Shadow Organization, and he had already planned it so carefully, at this time, he felt Tang Yin's terrible from the bone.
The heart of the king is unpredictable, and I am afraid that this is the case Tang Yin's encounter in the southern city of Huandi made him aware of the chaos and corruption of the governance of local officials, and at that time he had the plan to set up a shadow, and now there is the case of the Fan family reselling salt and iron, so he is even more determined in his idea that there must be such an organization by his side, which can replace him to see the six roads and listen to the eight directions.
Let Gu Chen serve as the first leader of the shadows, he has also thought it through.
In fact, the first person he thought of was Cheng Jin, but Cheng Jin was already in charge of the Dark Arrow, and then let him be in charge of the Shadow, I was afraid that he would lack skills, and besides, Cheng Jin's heart was still too soft, he was ruthless to the enemy, but he always wanted to open up to his own people.
And Gu Chen is different, he is an official of the previous dynasty, he believes in the concept of aristocracy, and he looks down on the current officials of the Feng Country who are born with mud legs from his bones, so he rarely moves around and interacts with him, let him be in charge of the shadow, and the supervision of the imperial court and local officials can definitely be iron-faced and selfless, this is what Tang Yin wants.
The establishment of Shadow can be said to have given the Wind Nation a large-scale and invisible internal monitoring organization.
Its members are men and women, old and young, and their disguised identities are varied, scattered throughout the Windy Country, and at the same time little known.
They may be strangers who pass by you, or they may be your closest or even pillow person.
It's hard to tell whether the appearance of the Shadow is good or bad for the Wind Country, just like a sharp blade, it can kill and save people, the key depends on its owner.
Tang Yin decided to transfer Gu Chen, but once the Lieutenant's Mansion lost Gu Chen, and only Gu Chong remained, I am afraid it would be useless.
He asked Gu Chen with a smile: "Gu Chen, I transferred you to the imperial court, do you say that your uncle is still qualified for the position of lieutenant's mansion?"
Gu Chen frowned secretly, he knew in his heart that if he hadn't been assisted by himself, his uncle would have been removed by the king a long time ago.
He pondered for a long time and said, "Back to the king, the minister's cousin Aiwei has outstanding ability and can take over the minister's position in the lieutenant's mansion. ” "Aiwei" Tang Yin rubbed his chin and asked, "How is he better than you?"
"Far better than the minister."
Gu Chen replied simply, and he couldn't tell if he was being humble or really admiring this cousin.
Tang Yin sighed and said ambiguously: "I know, in the future, I will find a chance to meet your cousin."
Gu Chen, you go back and prepare now, draw up the list of candidates as soon as possible, and hand it over to me. ” "It's the king who will retire first" Gu Chen was about to leave the room, Tang Yin suddenly remembered something, and said to Ah San: "Ah San, give Lord Gu the token that can enter and exit the palace, and Lord Gu will not need to report when he enters and leaves the palace in the future." ” "Most of the kings" Gu Chen hurriedly thanked him.
When Ah San handed the token to Gu Chen, he couldn't help but feel a throbbing in his heart, this should be one of the benefits of being a close minister That night, Zong Yuan went to the prison of the Lieutenant's Mansion to visit Fan Ju.
Don't look at Fan Ju is now a prisoner, but his identity is there, and the conditions of the cell he lives in are also exceptionally good, not only clean, but also have all the equipment for daily use, so he almost didn't find two jailers to serve him.
After the two met, Fan Ju hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said, "Oh, why is Master Zong here?"
As he spoke, he looked at the jailer standing not far away, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that the king has returned to the capital, has the king told Master Zong about the Fan family's case?"
Zong Yuan nodded slightly, then waved his hand to the jailers around him, and said in a deep voice, "You all go down" After sending the jailers away, he pulled Fan Ju to sit down on the edge of the bed, and whispered: "Guozhang, this case of the Fan family reselling salt and iron is not a trivial matter, you have to be mentally prepared."
Hearing this, Fan Ju's head buzzed, his face instantly turned pale, and he muttered, "Why can't the king kill the old man?"
"Mr.
Fan is the national abbot, of course the king doesn't want to kill you, but now the case of the Fan family has become big, the city is full of wind and rain, the whole country knows it, and it is difficult to deal with it hastily, it is difficult to calm the public, let alone convince the public, and the king is also very embarrassed" Zong Yuan shook his head and sighed.
Fan Ju lowered his head and was speechless for a long time.
He seemed to be more than ten years old all of a sudden, his face was pale, and he couldn't help but look up and sigh, and said: "The old man understands that the old man will not embarrass the king, so he apologizes for the crime, and only asks Master Zong to do the old man another favor, and the old man wants to take a last look at his family."
Seeing this, Zong Yuan also felt that it was almost the same, he showed a straight face, and said urgently: "Guozhang said that where did the family make mistakes, and who made mistakes with Guozhang, Guozhang will hand over who to bear, why do you need to die to apologize Guozhang is serious." ” Oh, Fan Ju's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise and joy: "Ah, the king didn't want to kill the old man."
Zong Yuan was happy and said: "Guozhang, I said just now, the king is reluctant to kill the Guozhang, but there must be a result in this matter, so the Guozhang can't protect his shortcomings, he must hand over those Fan family children who despise the king's law, if they can take the initiative to surrender, it would be great, and the king may be able to open up to him." ” Fan Ju is also a smart person, and Ma understood what Zong Yuan meant, he wanted to hand over a few Fan family disciples to go out to confess.
The old man nodded slowly and said, "Don't worry, Master Zong, the old man will give the king an explanation."
"En" You have to cut the meat when you should cut it Zong Yuan nodded, and said: "In addition, the Guozhang also has to hand over a fine of 30 million taels of silver, although the amount is large, I think the Guozhang can also afford this money." 30 million taels Fan Ju gasped, which was almost equivalent to the total income of the Fan family in the next three years.
He muttered, "So much" Zong Yuan sighed lightly: "The prince should be ruined to avoid disasters, not to mention that now my country is at war with the two countries of Sichuan and Huan, and the treasury is very empty, the prince can come forward at this time and donate such a large amount of silver to the imperial court, and the king will remember the good of the emperor." ” He was so good at talking that Fan Ju didn't even have room to refuse, the latter smiled bitterly, thought for a moment, patted his thigh, and said: "Old man Cheng, just listen to Master Zong, 30 million taels will be 30 million taels" To take out 30 million taels at once, even for the Fan family, it is nerve-wracking, but as long as it can be exchanged for the king's forgiveness, in the future, the Fan family can earn back two or three times.

"Guozhang is well aware of things, this is not only the blessing of the Fan family, but also the blessing of my Feng country."
As he spoke, Zong Yuan stood up and said with a smile: "Guozhang is in the Lieutenant's Mansion for a few days, I believe that it won't be long before the king will personally come to pick up Guozhang and return to the mansion." ”:
