Chapter 102 One Sing and One Harmony
Hand over the Detective Office to Commander Jia Sidao?
When Meng Gong heard this, the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.
He looked at Jia Sidao, who looked like a monk next to him, who was confused. Meng Gong knew that Zhao Yun had definitely not said hello to Jia Sidao before, at least he had not passed the breath.
That's the intention to start temporarily?
Meng Gong knew very well what the Detective Office did.
In the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council and the Central Secretariat were called the two governments (the Central Secretariat is the government and the Privy Council is the Shufu), and was the most important central government agency. The Privy Council set up twelve rooms (the north house, the Hexi house, the branch office, the Beijing house, the scholastic house, the Guangxi house, the military registration house, the militia house, the official house, the official house, the horse house, and the small official house) and each performs its duties.
At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Secretariat and the Privy Council held two positions of civil and military affairs. The prime minister was not allowed to take military affairs because he did not take the Privy Council. During the Qingli period, he used troops to the Western Xia Dynasty, and the Prime Minister and Privy Councilor were once the prime minister and Privy Councilor.
After the Song Dynasty moved south to Emperor Ningzong, the prime minister began to serve as Privy Councilor, which became the custom of the Song Dynasty. It was precisely because the prime minister and Privy Councilor that the minister of the Central Secretariat gradually lost its authority, and the prime minister's authority began to overtake all officials, second only to the emperor.
As a frontier general, Meng Gong naturally knew that in addition to the Twelve Officials' Rooms, there was actually a secret institution in the Privy Council that only the emperor and the chief and deputy envoy of the Privy Council knew, which was the Privy Council Detective Department.
At the beginning, the role of the Detective and Inspectorate was mainly to cooperate with the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Censorate to arrest some illegal officials and thieves in the Yangtze River. Later, as the war between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia and the Jin Dynasty became more and more intense, the Detective and Inspectorate gradually evolved into the only agency sent to the Song Dynasty to obtain information in detail.
With the destruction of the Western Xia and the Jin Kingdom by the Mongols, the brief alliance between the Song Dynasty and the Mongolians broke down. Mongolia replaced the Western Xia and the Jin Kingdom and became the only enemy of the Song Dynasty and the biggest enemy.
The investigation directions of the Detective and Inspectorate Department are all specifically designed to spy on the Mongolian military situation. What is the purpose of spying on military situation? It is naturally for military operations. As the head coach of the Jinghu War Zone of the four major war zones of the Song Dynasty, Meng Gong naturally knew the Detective and Inspectorate Department, and he dealt with them very frequently.
Jia Sidao may not know, but Meng Gong is very clear about the power of the Detective Office.
It can be said very directly that all the detailed military affairs and secret spies in the Song Dynasty are basically all from the Detective and Inspectorate Department.
The Detective Department not only has a large number of intelligence analysis experts, but also in order to obtain intelligence, there is no shortage of talents from all walks of life. Especially when you go deep into the north, which is now the territory of the Mongols, you must have excellent skills. After all, if you are not good at skill, you are not very good at martial arts. I am afraid that you will be able to get a deal on the road before you reach the north. What's the use?
The ordinary people of the Song Dynasty were not clear about the situation in the northern part of the Song Dynasty earlier, and Meng Gong, especially the Detective Office, knew very well. There were many people who occupied the mountains and became kings.
All the masters who can enter the Detective and Inspectorate are specially selected as imperial guards with innocent wealth and extremely loyal ministers to the emperor. Among them, nearly 80% of the masters of the Detective and Inspectorate from the inner palace account for nearly 80%.
Meng Gong, who had dealt with the Detective and Inspectorate, even in many places, needed to rely on the Detective and Inspectorate, knew better than anyone else that the Detective and Inspectorate was no longer the inconspicuous minor official room when the Song Dynasty was first established, but became the deepest behemoth hidden in the Song Dynasty.
Meng Gong didn't even know whether the Detective Office had arranged someone beside him.
Of course, even if he is there, he is not afraid.
Shi Songzhi is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and Prime Minister Qiao Xingjian is the Privy Council, but neither of them has any binding force on the Detective and Inspectorate. The actual controller of the Detective and Inspectorate is Zhao Yun's younger brother, King Rong Zhao and Rui.
However, King Rong Zhao and Rui were just a cover. Who among the dynasties of the Song Dynasty knew that King Rong Zhao and Rui were a low-key prince who almost completely ignored existence. Letting Zhao and Rui control the Detective Office was actually just Zhao Yun didn't want others to get involved. The real controller was naturally him.
Now, Zhao Yun suddenly proposed to hand over the Detective Office to Commander Jia Sidao. Such trust is probably the only one in the court and the country except King Rong. Even King Rong Zhao and Rui, Zhao Yun is afraid that he will not trust too much.
Because Zhao Yun and Zhao and Rui are brothers, their surname is Zhao.
With a flash of light in my heart, Meng Gong bowed and replied, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Even Shi Songzhi cannot intervene, let alone a general like Meng Gong who has been leading troops all year round. Meng Gong knew very well that Zhao Yun asked him about his opinion was because the four major war zones needed the cooperation of the four major war zones, relying on the intelligence of the Investigation Department. The Jinghu War Zone is the largest among the four major war zones, with the largest number of troops and the most important one.
What does Zhao Yun value the most? Of course, it is his country.
What is the purpose of establishing the Investigation and Inspectorate Department? It is not for the Song Dynasty. What is the biggest threat to the Song Dynasty today? The Mongols.
Therefore, Meng Gong knew very well that as long as Zhao Yun wanted, he would not be in charge of anyone in charge of the Detective and Inspectorate, even if Zhao Yun handed over the Detective and Inspectorate to a woman. The reason why Zhao Yun asked for his opinion was actually the most important purpose of hoping that Meng Gong and Jia Sidao would work together to stabilize the Song Dynasty.
Of course, Sun Kui's chess pieces that Jia Sidao accepted because of the expedient measures were just an excuse for Zhao Yun to hand over the Detective Office to Jia Sidao.
At the same time, Meng Gong knew better that Zhao Yun had a more important purpose in handing over the Detective Office to Jia Sidao. If Jia Sidao wanted to track down the people who attacked Concubine Jia this time, if Jia Sidao wanted to find out, without the help of the Detective Office, he would be absolutely hopeless.
Thinking of this, Meng Gong couldn't help but feel a stern heart.
The emperor was determined to investigate those who dared to attack Concubine Jia to the end.
He didn't think that Jia Sidao, who was in charge of the Detective Office, would be ruthless to those who were slaughtering his own sister. How did Jia Sidao deal with Sun Kui's appearance as a vicious Green Forest thief today? It's still vivid in my mind!
"Haha, that's it!" Zhao Yun's reaction to Meng Gong was not at all surprised. The reason why Meng Gong was able to get from a soldier to today was, in addition to the support of the Shi clan, more importantly, because he gained Zhao Yun's trust.
Meng Gong naturally has his own uniqueness to trust someone like Zhao Yun who is extremely suspicious and very good at forbearance.
"Shi Xian, I will hand over this Detective Office to you. I will issue an order to Qiao Qing and Shi Qing tomorrow. Sun Kui and others, if you command the Detective Office, there will naturally be some methods to train."
Zhao Yun looked at Jia Sidao and said with expectation.
He was worried that Jia Sidao would refuse.
Jia Sidao, who had no idea of the importance of the Detective Office, would have been in vain when he heard Zhao Yun’s words.
The imperial edict was issued only to Prime Minister Qiao Xingjian and Shi Songzhi, not the civil and military officials of the court. The knowledge among them was much greater. He was a small magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture, and when the imperial edict was issued, all the civil and military officials of the court knew about it.
The importance of this detective department is obviously far greater than that of the Lin'an Prefecture magistrate. However, even such an official rank is only a communicator Qiao Xingjian and Shi Songzhi, and Meng Gong, and they are naturally of extraordinary significance.
Who is Shi Songzhi? Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council; Who is Meng Gong? General of Jinghu; Don’t forget Qiao Xingjian, in addition to the left prime minister, he also serves as the Privy Council of the Privy Council, the highest military institution of the Song Dynasty.
As for whether the Detective Office is a military or an intelligence agency hidden in the dark, it is obvious that Jia Sidao is not easy to ask at this time. He believes that Zhao Yun will naturally explain to him later.
If he didn't let Ran know, this was not at all conflicted with Jia Sidao's idea, and judging by Zhao Yun's intention, he had no room for rejection.
"I am grateful to you, thank you for your kindness!" Jia Sidao bowed and responded.
"Haha, okay! I will call King Rong to come to tell you about this detective department later!" Zhao Yun was actually most worried about the most, his lazy brother-in-law, and it seemed that every time the amazing actions he made were forced to do, Zhao Yun was very distressed.
He can naturally give orders to others without hesitation. He is really not very good at Jia Sidao. Concubine Jia, who had finally saved her offspring just now, is still recuperating.
At this time, Zhao Yun was naturally very happy to hear that Jia Sidao took over the Detective Office.
"I obey the order! But, I will report to Your Majesty, and I have a small request!"
"Oh? I have something to say." Zhao Yun was a little confused.
"The assassination of Meng Shuai has come to an end. The wife of Weichen must have been quite frightened. The detective officer Weichen just took over, and he was afraid that he would be unable to do anything. Therefore, Weichen wanted to ask the emperor to allow Weichen to resign from the position of Tongzong of Lin'an Prefecture."
Jia Sidao said what he had planned for a long time at the age of planning.
Is this resignation?
Meng Gong was a little surprised when he heard Jia Sidao's words. Jia Sidao perfectly solved Sun Kui and others and saved the court's face. No need to think about it, tomorrow's morning court, no need to say, Zheng Qingzhi, Shi Songzhi, Yu Tianxi and others will speak out to ask for credit for him. If you want to resign at this time, isn't you giving the credit you received to others?
"Si Dao, you have resigned as the head of Lin'an Prefecture, but is there anyone in your heart?"
To Meng Gong's surprise, Zhao Yun seemed to be not surprised at Jia Sidao's request at all, and did not say anything to keep him. Instead, he directly asked if Jia Sidao had any candidates.
"Yu Ci, the son of Mr. Yu, is loyal to the emperor and the court, and is both virtuous and capable, and should be able to take on the post of a humble minister!"
The emperor and Jia Shixian... seemed to have agreed.
