Chapter 60: Jingwei sleeps in the emperor’s bedchamber, a huge gain for the Western Factory!
The next day.
When Zhu Houzhao got up.
Jingwei is still in deep sleep.
After a conversation yesterday, Jingwei finally opened up his heart.
She not only revealed her identity as a daughter of a farming family and her own life experience.
Even after Jingwei took the initiative to give his first time.
He also expressed his desire to become the leader of the farmers' families.
...
"The leader of the farmers..."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Jingwei who was sleeping, and was also thinking about what she said yesterday.
Frightened salamander.
Do not!
It should be said that it is Tian Yan.
Tian Yan's performance in Qin's Moon is extremely eye-catching, and his abilities and talents are also outstanding.
She was originally just a daughter born to Jingwei during his escape.
But after being adopted by Tian Meng, he quickly showed his talents.
Not only did Tian Meng regard him as the future successor to the hall master.
She is even called "the first think tank of farmers" and "the female Guan Zhong" by farmers.
And after Tian Meng was assassinated.
Tian Yan also used the power of various forces in a very clever way.
Eventually, she successfully became the leader of the farmers.
In the subsequent plots, Tian Yan's skills are even more outstanding.
Not only did he gain the trust of Guiguzi and Zongheng, but he also became one of the main forces in the anti-Qin campaign.
.....
"With Tian Yan's wisdom and skills, if used properly, perhaps he could take the farmers for his own use?"
Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "But now is not the right time."
He has not yet completely taken control of the Ming Dynasty.
Neither the imperial court nor the underworld took any action to suppress the rebellion.
Prince Ning's rebellion was not suppressed either.
There is no need to deploy plans in various countries for the time being.
On the contrary, Tian Yan's skills, wisdom and strength can be quickly utilized.
Xu Yanbing is about to lead 10,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry south to quell the rebellion of Prince Ning.
Even if he could put down the rebellion quickly.
I'm afraid they will have to garrison at the border of the Ming Dynasty, both to suppress the Mongols and to intimidate the Qin Dynasty.
Xu Yanbing could no longer continue to hold the position of leader of the imperial guards.
Tian Yan can just fill this gap.
As for Xuan Jian’s disguised identity as a captain of the imperial guards.
I think Tian Yan can solve it with his skills.
Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao temporarily made arrangements for Tian Yan.
But he didn't rush to wake Tian Yan up.
Instead, he strode towards Baohedian.
There is still a lot to come today.
Wang Yangming is about to arrive.
The intelligence of the Six Gates and the Shenhou Mansion will also be completely gathered in the hands of the Western Factory.
.....
When Zhu Houzhao just arrived at Baohedian.
Han Shengxuan, Hong Sixiang and Cao Zhengchun have been waiting here for a long time.
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, and then said to Han Shengxuan: "Have you collected all the information about the Six Gates and the Divine Marquis' Mansion? Have you gained anything? Or have you encountered any problems?"
Yesterday, Nangong Pushe went to the Six Gates to capture the God and completely subdued him.
The information from the Six Gates was naturally handed over very smoothly.
Zhuge Zhengwo had no intention of hiding anything from the Shenhou Mansion.
It was extremely smooth when Han Shengxuan took over.
As for Hulong Villa and Dongchang, there is no need to say more.
After all the information from these four major forces was gathered.
Zhu Houzhao was very curious about how much control the Western Factory had over the Ming Dynasty now.
How strong are the intelligence networks of these forces?
Han Shengxuan stepped forward and whispered, "The intelligence of Shenhou Mansion, Liushenmen, Hulong Villa, and Dongchang has been summarized. This intelligence covers all forces in the entire Ming Dynasty, whether it is the major sects or clans, or even the major gangs and well-known people in the court. There is detailed information in the intelligence."
Last night I was just receiving information.
The West Factory was busy all day.
If it weren't for the assistance of 5,000 loyal Western Factory soldiers.
I'm afraid it's simply impossible to take over successfully within one day.
Even so.
It can only be said that it is a preliminary takeover.
After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao smiled: "The Ming Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, and these forces have been based in the Ming Dynasty for decades. If they can't even do this, it would be really disappointing."
"What about those spies? Could they be as good as Luowang?"
Luowang is known as the dragnet of heaven and earth.
But in fact, it was developed by Lu Buwei himself over several decades.
The Hulong Villa, the Six Gates, and the Shenhou Mansion are the real court forces.
The Ming Dynasty invested a lot of financial and human resources in them.
Even the Jinyiwei was almost disintegrated.
All the manpower was dispersed to the Shenhou Mansion and the Six Gates.
If there is no suitable result.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to ask these people what they were doing!
"The Six Sects have their own spies placed in all the major sects, even in the clans and gangs. The number of spies in the Divine Marquis Mansion is much smaller, and most of them are disguised as lone experts."
"The spies from Hulong Villa are more likely to target court officials and various vassal kings."
"As for the East Factory..."
Han Shengxuan glanced at Cao Zhengchun, shook his head and said, "The East Factory doesn't have any spy forces."
"At most, they have recruited some desperate criminals to work for them."
As soon as these words came out.
Cao Zhengchun's old face turned slightly red.
Although he has been in power for more than ten years.
But Cao Zhengchun was just a eunuch, and was being closely watched by forces like the Huolong Villa and the Shenhou Mansion. It was impossible for him, and he dared not, to recruit any spies. The only thing he could do was to recruit some desperate criminals.
The Six Gates and Hulong Villa have powers granted by the imperial court.
Zhu Wusi, the Iron-Hearted Marquis, is even more ambitious. He holds great power and has the financial and manpower support of the Ming tycoon Wan Sanqian behind him, so he has naturally developed a huge intelligence network.
The reason for the Shenhou Mansion is that Master Zhuge is too upright.
He had no habit of training spies, so he did not have much intelligence power.
Even those lone masters are just my own connections.
...
Zhu Houzhao also had some understanding of the intelligence network in his hands.
He chuckled and said, "This intelligence network is barely enough."
The national strength of the Ming Dynasty was actually not weak among all the countries.
It’s just because the princes and the civil service groups are too powerful.
As a result, the power that the Ming Emperor could mobilize appeared too weak.
The reason why the late emperor established government offices such as the Hulong Villa, the Shenhou Mansion, and the Liushenmen was because the internal situation of the Ming Dynasty was too complicated. If they could not be separated and checked and balanced against each other, it would be easy for a terrifying behemoth to emerge.
There will also be the birth of figures like the Nine Thousand Year Old Wei Zhongxian.
At that time, the emperor's majesty and power could not be guaranteed.
However, doing so would certainly ensure the emperor's power.
But it also made it impossible for the Ming Dynasty to concentrate its power!
What Zhu Houzhao is doing now is to completely centralize everything.
All power in the world will eventually belong to him, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
It is also under the influence of imperial power!
...
"Do you have any information about Prince Ning?"
Zhu Houzhao asked Han Shengxuan.
Now that he already knows how strong the Ming Dynasty's intelligence network is, he doesn't need to pay too much attention to it.
The most important issue at the moment is Prince Ning’s rebellion.
Everything else can be put aside.
