Wang Jinghui himself didn't want to sit in this position. Such a sensitive position is easily impeached by ministers. It is a thankless job. Look at the traditional intelligence system of the Song Dynasty. None of the leaders of the Imperial City Department can have a term of more than three years. Even though the leaders of the Imperial City Department are all old-fashioned people, they will inevitably have to carry a lot of bullet stamps. This position is always under the surveillance and control of the Censorate. Looking at the experience of the Imperial City Department, Wang Jinghui can also think of the present.

The Intelligence Bureau, which is not even in its infant state, will encounter any trouble in its future work? Although it is responsible for collecting and organizing external intelligence, the master of the Censorate is widening his eyes and waiting for his mistakes. He himself is unwilling to carry the stamps on his back for no reason. However, the Song Dynasty's unbone man can be more important than him. Moreover, all these systems were founded by himself. It is his responsibility to establish a set of intelligence systems that seem at least decent at present to be prepared for the Song Dynasty.

Wang Jinghui only hopes that he can set up an intelligence bureau full of enterprising and broad room for development for the Song Dynasty. As for the great achievements it can achieve, it depends on the direction of his development, which depends on what God means. However, Wang Jinghui believes that with the experience of later generations, he will avoid detours in this exploration path, and at least it will not become a creepy eunuch intelligence system like the East and West Factory in the Ming Dynasty.

After Wang Jinghui took over the Intelligence Bureau, he began to learn from his experience in the management of the intelligence system at hand and arranged his disciple Guan Liang, who was good at intelligence management, to work in the Intelligence Bureau. After several months of rectification, it was proved that Wang Jinghui brought Guan Liang into the Intelligence Bureau to preside over the work - all the detailed and complicated work in intelligence was handed over to Guan Liang, and he only had to conceive the general structure and thinking about the direction. Since Wang Jinghui was in charge of the Statistics Bureau, Guan Liang even suggested that he expand the scope of intelligence collection to the country to cooperate with statistics.

The bureau's anti-corruption work was carried out, but he flatly refused. The Imperial City Bureau's intelligence collection scope was still on the Jingji Road, and the emperor's Imperial City Bureau was still like this. Where was his turn to interfere with the internal intelligence work of the Song Dynasty? If this move was put into practice, not to mention what the emperor thought. Even the censors would not let him go, and the rectification of the Song Dynasty's administration was not a merit. There were many problems involved in the middle, and they were afraid that as soon as they showed the banner of anti-corruption, their political allies on their side would start to show their swords at him.

The scope of the work of the Intelligence Bureau is standard - it is to face foreign countries, with the focus being the old enemy of the Song Dynasty, Liao and Xixia. When it comes to domestic affairs, the memorial will be handed over to the Emperor Zhao Xu and the Imperial City Bureau to solve it. It never goes beyond the straits. This is also praised by Emperor Zhao Xu and other ministers. More importantly, the Intelligence Bureau handed over to Wang Jinghui. The work efficiency is very different from before, which makes all ministers who need foreign intelligence feel satisfied.

If there is anything else that Wang Jinghui is in charge of the Intelligence Bureau, it is that he really uses the intelligence collected by the Intelligence Bureau to trade! However, Wang Jinghui is not a blatant hawking sale. His business circle is the top business group in the Song Dynasty. Most of them are engaged in overseas trade or some trades to the Liao and Xixia. These intelligence is very important to them. Wang Jinghui provides them with screened commercial intelligence. Of course, this is paid land - and it is borrowed from the membership system of later generations. Annual fees are charged, and as long as these merchants make certain requirements, Wang Jinghui instructs them to be abroad.

The intelligence network specially collects. Of course, such intelligence services are expensive. The annual fee of a member is as high as more than 3,000 guan. The annual fee income in this business circle alone reaches more than 100,000 guan. After learning about it, the ministers who were informed also shook their heads with a smile. The prince consort is now becoming more and more popular in the business circle, but no one impeached him. For the Song Dynasty, even more than 100,000 guan can be erased by one person. Moreover, the intelligence system is very expensive, but with this annual fee income, it can not only not ask for a penny from the court's finances, but also have a surplus of a few thousand guan.

However, in Wang Jinghui's eyes, the commercialization of the Intelligence Bureau into a force belonging to the Song Dynasty was one of the important strategies. However, the most important task he instigated after taking over was to destroy the Dangxiang to the greatest extent and weaken the strength of the Liao Kingdom. In addition to using the grudges between the Prince of Liao Kingdom and the King of Wei to instigate several small trends, the core was to destroy Li Qing and his Poxi Army.

Wang Jinghui put a lot of effort into defeating Li Qing, the Western Xia armed force that was the most threatening to the Song Dynasty. Although he earned a lot of money from Li Qing through smuggling trade, defeating Li Qing had nothing to do with how much money he earned. He was not short of hundreds of thousands of chunks of income. Moreover, after conquering Li Qing, the vast natural pasture in the northwest returned to the Song Dynasty. It was not impossible to reproduce the invincible Han cavalry in the Han and Tang Dynasties!

Wang Jinghui used a large amount of money to bribe the important aides of the Dangxiang nobles who were loyal to the royal family, so that they could cooperate with the actions of the Song Dynasty in strategy. Of course, they did not know that the entire incident was manipulated by the Song Dynasty - the people who bribed them were all Dangxiang nobles with the background of the Xingqing Prefecture's rear tribe - these were all the spy networks that Wang Jinghui had worked hard in Xixia for nearly two years.

Emperor Zhao Xu took Fu Bi's letter from Wang Jinghui. This was originally written to Wang Jinghui. Fu Bi's letter was the most important part of Wang Jinghui's entire plan, because Fu Bi's attitude would directly affect the success or failure of the entire plan. Conviction Bi may be the most influential anti-war faction in the Song Dynasty. When Emperor Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne, he asked the respected conviction Bi for questions about border defense. The old prime minister who had once implemented the "Qingli New Deal" in Fan Zhongyan advised him: "If Your Majesty can speak without saying military force for twenty-eight years and do not reward border merits, the country will be very lucky and the world will be very lucky!" - The reason why Emperor Zhao Xu asked Emperor Zhao Xu to speak without saying military force for twenty-eight years was because when Fu Bi talked with the emperor, it happened to be twenty-eight years after the Qingli New Deal!

Since Wang Jinghui told Zhao Xu about his plan, the young emperor was very curious about what method the prince-consort would use to change Fu Bi's attitude. After opening Fu Bi's letter, he did confirm in the letter that Fu Bi's attitude was to take the initiative to lure Li Qing - this was just the last of more than ten letters between Shaanxi and Kaifeng, Bian. However, Fu Bi did change his original intention. Although it had not yet expanded to the point of directly sweeping the Western Xia, it was already a very incredible thing to convince him to send troops to deal with Li Qing.

"In these days, there will be news that there will be rare droughts and locust plagues in Hebei, the northwest of the Song Dynasty, and the grain north of the Song Dynasty will be completely eliminated. The special forces will start to walk out of Baigan Mountain at the beginning of next month and loot the vast and area of ​​Baigan Mountain to the Jianing Military Office to anger Li Qing. If there is no problem, Li Qing will definitely lead the army to attack. If there is fewer soldiers, it will definitely not be able to do anything to the Three Forts of Wuning. This is the time for those Dangxiang nobles to perform. I believe that Empress Dowager Liang will also wait for an opportunity to act. The final result is that Li Qing's Poxi Army's forces will be completely disintegrated. The best effect of the plan depends on the will of God!" Wang Jinghui said in a deep voice.

"What is the best result in my heart? But it doesn't matter. Even if I can't achieve it, I won't blame you!"

"The best result is two - one is that Li Qing is desperate to return to Song. Our Song Dynasty will not give up on him. After he returns to Song, he will destroy Xia's vanguard. As for the resolution of the Poxi Army, these are all matters of the Privy Council. I must not interfere. The second is that Li Qing and the nobles of the Dangxiang who usurped the wealth of the Jianing Army will fight to the death. At this point, there will be no beacon fires in the northwest front for five years. When we see the beacon fires again, then Xingqing Mansion has already belonged to my Song Dynasty! However, in my opinion, Li Qing is not easy to surrender. From such a long time, he is still loyal to the royal family and the twelve-year-old Bing Permanent Institution, so what I hope is naturally the latter, but these are my speculations. Things in the world are impermanent. Who can know what the final result will be until the end?! It's just to do my best to leave the will of heaven!"

Emperor Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Talent is a good word, and I am the same. But can the Three Forts of Wuning withstand Li Qing's army of more than 100,000 rage?!"

"Now the Three Forts of Wuning are like an iron wall. The latest and most powerful weapons in the Song Dynasty are there. Now there is only one good general who lacks the commander. Just his heart is as solid as a rock!"

"I think who can take this important task?"

"I do not have the power to recommend this, but if the emperor allows it, I want to go to the northwest in person..."

"No!" Emperor Zhao Xu interrupted Wang Jinghui without waiting for Wang Jinghui to say this: "I have more important things for you, I will not let you take risks. I cannot let you beg for Shu!"

The war is dangerous, and anything can happen on the battlefield. Emperor Zhao Xu will never allow Wang Jinghui to go to the northwest. The extermination of Li Qing is just a link in the Xia plan. Whether success or not is not a big deal, but there is only one son-in-law. If there is any accident, everything will become worse, and the power in the court will immediately become extremely opposite. Emperor Zhao Xu can figure this out very clearly in his heart. Besides, Wang Jinghui is still his own brother-in-law. He already feels sorry for his sister. If something happens, how should he face the eldest princess of Shu Kingdom!?

"It's a pity that Wang Shao is still in Xihe and cannot get out of here. Fu Bi is in Luoyang and is in charge of the overall situation. Otherwise, I can send someone to rest assured!"

"This battle is just defense, and the core is to resist Li Qing's attack in the Three Forts of Wuning. The facts prove that the power of the weapons equipped in the Song Dynasty is no longer the same as before. As long as your heart is as iron as a stone, you will be 80% sure!" Wang Jinghui said from the side, but when he said that, he turned around and looked out of the hall.

Emperor Zhao Xu saw Wang Jinghui interrupting his speech, but instead looked outside the hall. However, the door of the hall was closed. The only thing that attracted people was that the lights outside copied a person on the doors and windows. Emperor Zhao Xu saw Wang Jinghui's mouth raised upwards, then looked at the figure outside, and smiled and said, "What do you think of this person?"

"I don't know, but the three generations of the Yang family are loyal and brave to serve the country. 'The father and son are both famous generals, and their intelligence is said to be invincible. As for today's people, as for the people in the country, they can all know.' Wen Guang did not establish the achievements of their ancestors because of the changes in the policies of the Song and Liao dynasties. The emperor is a wise ruler, and the Dangxiang people are just a minor problem. When they are interested in the north in the future, they might as well fulfill the wish of the Yang family!"

The words Wang Jinghui said just now that "father and son are famous generals" were written by Ouyang Xiu in the "Epitaph of Yang Jun, Deputy Envoy of the Gongbeiku". Although he knew the history and achievements of the Yang family after coming to the Song Dynasty, and did not worship the Yang family as in later generations, the stories of the Yang family such as bloody battles in Jinshatan have long been spread in this era, and he was very respectful of the Yang family's deeds. Most of the first two generations of the Yang family died in battle with border countries. Although decades have passed, the Yang family must have been a famous general in the Song Dynasty and should not have given up their talent training, otherwise Yang Chongyue would not have been so respected by Emperor Zhao Xu.

The reason why Wang Jinghui recommended Yang Chongyue was also an idea of ​​the political practices of the Song Dynasty. In such a political environment, famous generals mostly became famous in one battle. They retired successfully. Unless it was a legend like the Yang family in the early Song Dynasty, they would probably have to come back to retire like Guo Kui since Yang Ye's generation. Military talents must form continuity. When Wang Jinghui had not yet reformed the military system of the Song Dynasty, it was necessary to ensure that every important battle had a man who could fight with confidence. Guo Kui weakened the strength of Xixia, and Wang Shao was not young anymore. The task of sweeping Xixia should be completed by him. What should the remaining Liao Kingdom do?!

Since Wang Jinghui met Yang Chongyue, he had already started to have such plans - it would be better to deal with the Liao people - the national hatred and family hatred are brought together, and at least the family's will is motivated by them, they will never take a step back. Although Yang Chongyue is a little more glorious when he is by the emperor, he and his family are far inferior to making achievements in the border like their ancestors. Sometimes the standard for achieving ideals is either glory and money or a simple substitution.

Wang Jinghui should be more at ease when using Yang Chongyue to force the attack of more than 100,000 troops in Li Qingdi, and this is also an opportunity to train Yang Chongyue to become a famous general. When the time is ripe, he will take Yang Chongyue to Hebei and let him experience it in the position of Yang Lao Linggong for a few years. When the Liao Kingdom operation begins, it depends on whether Yang Chongyue can realize their ultimate ideals of the Yang family.

The dialogue between the monarch and minister in the palace has always been quite depressing, but when mentioning Yang Chongyue reminds them both of them of the history of the Yang family, especially the emperor Zhao Xu, who has always been determined to recover the former land of Yan and Zhao, and uses this as a standard to surpass Taizu and Taizong's Emperor's land, he is naturally excited and generous. Although he has not expressed his opinion, he is also in his heart to let Yang Chongyue guard the Three Forts of Wuning.

Emperor Zhao Xu slapped three hard, and the palace gate immediately opened. Yang Chongyue walked over with his knife handle tightly in his hand. Every step he took, the golden armor on his body would make a trembling "rustling" sound. Yang Chongyue knelt down at Emperor Zhao Xu three steps away: "The last one is here!"

Emperor Zhao Xuping regained his mood and waved his hand and said, "Go back and prepare. In a few days, you will not be the deputy envoy of Chongyi. I want you to go to the northwest to be the inspector and wait for the dispatch under the Korean public account!"

Obviously, Yang Chongyue heard the conversation between Emperor Zhao Xu and Wang Jinghui outside the hall, and knew that he was going to the northwest to face the same test as his ancestors. Faced with the coming dangers that professional soldiers would face, Yang Chongyue had no worries at all. On the contrary, the glorious history of the family always inspired him. The deputy envoy of Chongyi was a position held by Yang Yanzhao. For soldiers, being able to guard the emperor was naturally a glorious family matter, but he would rather go to the battlefield and revive the history of the Yang family.

"The last general will receive the order!"

"I hope General, don't insult the reputation of Tianbo Mansion!" Wang Jinghui said lightly.

Originally, Wang Jinghui thought that Tianbo Mansion was just a legendary story. However, after coming to this time and space, while learning about the history of the Yang family, he actually discovered that Tianbo Mansion really existed. However, Tianbo Mansion on the Jinshui River in the northwest of the Tianbo Gate was also slowly lost its former style like the Yang family's Mo Luo, and no longer had the scene in history that "all the officials passing through the Tianbo Mansion, civil officials fell into sedan chairs and military officers dismounted to show respect". The plaque written by Taizong of the "Tianbo Yang Mansion" and the majestic "Qingfeng Wuning Tianbo Drop Water Tower" looked at the bustling crowd in front of the door, waiting silently.

Wang Jinghui could not imagine how the real Tianbo Mansion was in history was so prosperous, but looking at the current Tianbo Mansion made him feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing Yang Chongyue’s current appearance, he said this sentence was also an encouragement. In the most prosperous city in the world, what he saw and heard was a soft smell. Only this breeze and iron horses that vaguely echoed the golden swords and iron horses could make him feel that no matter how the world changes, there are always some people who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood for protecting this lovely land. There was a "poetry husband" like Yan Shu in the Song Dynasty. I believe that Yan Shu is not the first and definitely not the last one, but in Wang Jinghui's eyes, the ten living Yan Shu can't compare to a dead Yang Ye. In fact, history has proved this way that they are the backbone of this disaster-loving nation!
