Song Emperor Jiangshan

If there were Qin Hui's spies, who would it be?How can I find him?

Xiao Shan felt that it was impossible to find the answer by relying on his own thinking at this time. He could only stand in Qin Hui's position, put himself in Qin Hui's shoes, and perhaps be able to analyze some problems.

First of all, is the number of spies.There are not many people in the palace, more than 30 guards, forty eunuchs, more than 20 maids, plus cooks, compradors, medical officers and teachers, just over 100 people.This manpower is obviously far from that of the real prince's palace, but firstly, Zhao Yuan has not yet married, and secondly, Zhao Gou has not officially announced the adoption of Zhao Yuan at this time, so Zhao Yuan's treatment cannot be the same as that of a serious prince.

Originally, Xiao Shan had privately sighed that Zhao Yuan, the King of Pu'an County, had only so few subordinates, and felt that Zhao Gou was not honest in his work, but now when he started to investigate the spies, he discovered its benefits—if there were fewer people, the problem would become more serious. Relatively simple.

Standing in Qin Hui's position, he thought carefully about how to deploy personnel to be the most cost-effective.

There must be palace maids, guards, and eunuchs among the three major personnel.Especially the guards and eunuchs, these are the people Zhao Yuan has the most contact with, and they are also the ones who can best grasp Zhao Yuan's whereabouts.Thirty or so bodyguards should be enough for two spies. As for the eunuchs, they were in charge of different contents. Some were in charge of Zhao Yuan's daily life, some were in charge of cleaning, some were in charge of carriages and horses, and some were in charge of food and drink.It is impossible for Qin Hui to place one person in each of these categories of charge. The cost would be too high, and it is not the best policy to have too many eunuchs. Forty or so eunuchs, it would be great for Qin Hui to place three to four people at most. If there were more Firstly, there is no guarantee that every spy will be smart and will not show his flaws, and secondly, it is not necessary. He is only here to inquire about news and not to assassinate Zhao Yuan or carry out a coup in the palace. The four people can already provide him with comprehensive information. intelligence.The possibility among the palace maids is not high, firstly because Zhao Yuan is not close to women, if the palace maids who are placed are not favored, the information they can provide will not be much different from that of eunuchs; the second reason is that It was because Zhao Yuan was still a prince no matter what, if he really fell in love with a spy who was a court lady, then the court lady would not want to marry into the palace and rebelled.Xiao Shan felt that if he were Qin Hui, he would not do such a stupid thing.But he still allocated two places for the maid.

As for the rest, the teachers and martial artists in the Wangfu were all selected by Zhao Gou himself, and he didn't know much about Zhao Yuan's usual whereabouts, so it was quite difficult for Qin Hui to place these people.

Cooks, compradors and others may be useful to some extent, Xiao Shan thought in his heart.

In the end, he made all the plans and determined that even if Qin Hui wanted to install spies, there would never be more than ten people in the entire palace.After all, Qin Hui still has many other things to do, and his energy is limited. He has not yet treated Zhao Yuan as a major enemy, but is only monitoring him as a potential threat.The cost of using ten people to monitor one person's daily life is already very high and very unnecessary.Xiao Shan felt that it was great to add two or three people at most, but he still checked according to the standard of ten people.

After basically determining the number, the next question comes, who will they be?

Xiao Shan felt that it was not difficult to guess how many spies there were, but the difficulty was who these people were.And he thought that Qin Hui would definitely contact these spies one-way, and would never let them know each other's identities—otherwise, they would lose their role as spies.That is to say, even if one spy is caught, it will be difficult to follow the clues to find out others - Xiao Shan himself is also Qin Hui's spy, but he doesn't know who the others are.Xiao Shan believes that the situation of other spies may be similar to his own.

Xiao Shan began to secretly observe the actions and performances of these people, so as to judge who might be Qin Hui's spy, but within two days he felt that he had been screwed, and he even felt that what Zhao Yuan said The guard named Wu Hao is also unreliable, because the other party looks a bit wretched.

He can only take another path - if he is a spy of Qin Hui, he will definitely report to Qin Hui the situation of the palace through a certain method, which can be by observing the time when the other party leaves the palace or the usual changes.He can start from this direction to see who is abnormal.

But after he got in touch with the guards and eunuchs around him for a period of time, he realized that this was almost impossible.Because each guard takes a vacation every ten days, and everyone's vacation time is different, as for what they will do after leaving the mansion, it is impossible for Xiao Shan to follow them.But looking at those people's usual performance, it is also difficult to distinguish, because everyone behaved normally, and no one was found to have crossed the border or probed for news.

Xiao Shan felt that what he was facing was a hedgehog shrunk into a ball. All the spines on the hedgehog stood up, and there was no place to attack.

While thinking hard, one day Xiao Shan suddenly realized that he was going in the wrong direction.He got it wrong from the start! !

This is what Shi Hao reminded him. When he was giving a lecture one day, Shi Hao said that when the two armies were at war and espionage activities were frequent, Xiao Shan suddenly thought of the history of the People's Liberation Army that he was familiar with.

From Jinggangshan to the last million soldiers crossing the river, there were two periods when the enemy's spies were very active.

One was during the early days of the establishment of the Red Army, when armed separatist regimes were established on the borders of several provinces, and the other was during the Anti-Japanese War.

In these two periods, a large amount of fresh blood poured into tg's team. The latter's situation is not very useful for reference, but the experience of the Red Army period is very valuable.

When the Red Army initially established its base area, a large number of spies and people with ulterior motives were mixed in, and the leaders could not tell who was the spies and who was fine.At the beginning, because the news was often leaked, it suffered a lot in some military operations.Later, when there was no other way, they began to check the family backgrounds of those who joined the Red Army. Those who joined the army in the base area, their family members were clean, and those who belonged to the poor class were temporarily designated as reliable personnel.Those who come from other places and have good family conditions will face repeated scrutiny. As long as there is a slight problem or suspicion, they will be eliminated as spies or revolutionary enemies without evidence.This kind of anti-rebellion obviously meant to attack dissidents and establish authority, and it was once a tool used by the leaders of the base areas to fight each other, especially when the left-leaning policy came to power, it was even more exaggerated.

In that extreme situation, the Red Army in the base area suppressed the counter-rebels N times. The most serious one was to classify an army as left-leaning, kill all the army commanders and squad leaders, and the remaining ordinary soldiers were incorporated into other armies.This approach obviously caused a lot of accidental injuries and dealt a heavy blow to its own strength. One of the reasons why the Red Army failed in its fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign was that too many of its own people were killed, which weakened its combat power.

But this approach has obviously achieved certain results, that is, those who stay are all excellent personnel who are absolutely loyal and have no problems.It is such an absolutely loyal team that is not mixed with enemy agents and spies, so that it is possible to complete the [-]-mile Long March without collapsing halfway.

When it is impossible to discern who is unreliable, it is only possible to confirm who is reliable.

Xiao Shan decided to learn from the experience of the Red Army's investigation of his own team, starting with the investigation of the opponent's background and social relations, and the current situation is very different from the Red Army's original situation. There is no need to wipe it out, at least not to kill people.

This kind of investigation was first carried out among the guards. After Xiao Shan personally investigated the family backgrounds of all the guards and their usual activities, among the more than 30 guards, he preliminarily confirmed that two were very reliable and three were basically reliable.

Two very reliable people, one is Yu Mo, Yu Mo is 30 years old this year, he was originally from Bianjing, his parents were killed by Jin people during the Jingkang Incident and became orphans, and he fled to the south with the fleeing crowd. Served under Zhang Jun, one of the three generals, and was later dropped into the Dianqian Division because he was appreciated by Zhao Gou. He was never promoted because he could not flatter and complained about Yihe and Qin Hui.When Zhao Yuan opened the mansion, he was arranged to be a guard in the Prince's Mansion of Pu'an County.

Xiao Shan thinks that Yu Mo has an unshakable hatred for the Jin people. He is completely different from Qin Hui in terms of political stance, and he usually behaves well. He will not take the initiative to be Qin Hui's traitor. No, his friends were also some low-level anti-war soldiers before, Qin Hui couldn't find anything to blackmail him, and the possibility of passively being Qin Hui's spy was almost non-existent.

Another very reliable person is called Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao’s situation is completely different from Yu Chuanshi’s. He is from Mianzhu, Sichuan. He is 24 years old this year. His father died young and he was raised by his uncle. He also has a wife and children. It should belong to the unreliable ranks, but Zhang Miao's uncle is a very famous person.This very famous person and Qin Hui are deadly enemies.

When Xiao Shan heard Uncle Zhang Miao's name for the first time, he hadn't realized it yet, and asked casually, "Dashuai Zhang is from Shaanxi, and you are his nephew. How could you be from Mianzhu, Sichuan?"

Zhang Miao hurriedly explained that his uncle's name was Zhang Jun, not the one who helped Qin Hui frame Yue Fei, but now the king of Qinghe County, the general who would kneel in front of Yue Fei's temple later.

Only then did Xiao Shan understand that although Zhang Jun and Zhang Jun have the same pronunciation, they are two different people, one is a civil servant and the other is a general.

Military general Zhang Jun used to be Qin Hui's partner, but now he has been abandoned. Zhao Gou gave him a idle job and let him retire.And civil servant Zhang Jun is Qin Hui's mortal enemy, and the two sides hate each other to death.

Before Qin Hui came to power, Zhang Jun was Zhao Gou's prime minister, a well-known main combat faction, and he also tried his best to promote Zhao Gou's early series of Northern Expeditions.For a period of time, Zhao Gou trusted him very much, and once said something like "Your wisdom is a hundred times better than mine, and I admire him very much".

During Zhang Jun's tenure as prime minister, he was famous all over the world and had a lot of power. Qin Hui was relegated to a small official because of his bad reputation.In order to turn over again, Qin Hui hugged Zhang Jun's thigh with great strength.Zhang Jun felt that although Qin Hui had a bad reputation, he was clever enough to use him as a tool to attack political opponents, so he was promoted again.

Zhang Jun originally thought that if he promoted Qin Hui, the other party would be grateful and obedient to him, and become his eagle dog, and he would bite anyone crazy if he was asked to bite.Unexpectedly, Qin Hui didn't have the consciousness to become anyone's eagle dog at all. He resolutely joined forces with Zhang Jun's political opponent at the time—Zhao Ding of the main peace faction, publicized the peace talks, and ruthlessly attacked Zhao Gou when Zhang Jun made a mistake. Stabbing him in front of him caused Zhao Gou to become very disgusted with Zhang Jun.

Zhao Gou no longer said to Zhang Jun, "I admire Qing very much", but changed it to "I would rather subjugate the country than use this person!" I hate it.When he was dismissed as Prime Minister, Zhao Gou once asked him, "After Qing goes, who can replace him?"

Zhang Jun said, "Your Majesty decides for himself," Zhao Gou then asked, "How about Qin Huizhi?"

Zhang Jun wished he could peel off Qin Hui's skin, but he didn't have the ability now.Seeing the emperor asking at this moment, he decided to disgust Qin Hui before he left, so he said: "Qin Hui is despicable and shameless, he specializes in betraying friends, he is vicious and has no integrity and bottom line, he is a scumbag, Your Majesty must not use him! During my tenure as Prime Minister, I handled things inappropriately, and I felt very guilty for missing His Majesty's important affairs, and now Your Majesty is asking, I dare not cover up for Qin Hui again and spoil His Majesty's important affairs."

Zhao Gou originally intended to accept Qin Hui as Prime Minister after Zhang Jun's resignation, but now he changed his mind after hearing what Zhang Jun said, and asked, "How is Zhao Ding?"

Zhang Jun originally had different political views from Zhao Ding, and Qin Hui was promoted because he wanted Qin Hui to kill Zhao Ding.But now that he was killed instead, he was angry and felt that no one could be cheaper than Qin Hui, so he praised Zhao Ding greatly in front of Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou decided to appoint Zhao Ding as his prime minister.

When Zhao Gou and Zhang Jun were talking, Qin Hui had been waiting outside. He also knew the content of the emperor's conversation this time. He must be asking about Zhang Jun's successor as prime minister. He thought that Zhang Jun would recommend him, but he felt that it was unlikely. big.While waiting anxiously, seeing Zhang Jun coming out, he rushed to ask Zhang Jun if he had spoken good words for him.Zhang Jun scolded Qin Hui all over his face, saying that he was so self-promoted that he turned against him, that he was worse than a dog.

At that time, Qin Hui had not yet stolen the high position, so he could only endure Zhang Jun's scolding. Looking at the back of Zhang Jun leaving, Qin Hui swore, "If I'm not clean, if you cry for your father and mother, your surname is not Qin!"

Later, Song and Jin negotiated a peace agreement, and Qin Hui successfully betrayed his original ally Zhao Ding again, gained Zhao Gou's trust and formally came to power, becoming the sole prime minister.

The first thing Qin Hui did when he came to power was to take revenge on Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun had resigned and went to Yongzhou, but Qin Hui was not reconciled, and ordered Taiwan admonitions to impeach Zhang Jun.It just so happened that Zhang Jun heard that Zhao Ding was also demoted, so he probably went all the way to chat with Zhao Ding with a gloating mentality. When they were chatting, they both said that Qin Hui is not a thing. After betraying you, he betrayed me. Brothers The two are actually sympathetic to each other, and they were all overshadowed by Qin Hui.From then on, they turned their hostility into friendship, and started to hate Qin Hui together.Zhao Ding's personality is relatively gentle, but he only hates silently.And Zhang Jun's personality is flamboyant and aggressive, relying on himself to be demoted anyway, he has no pressure to write to Zhao Gou, "Your Majesty, your trust in Qin Hui is like cultivating gangrene between the boss and his confidants. He is really the best seller. A villain seeking glory, although I have been demoted, seeing someone like Qin Hui by His Majesty's side is really worrying, and I would have nightmares while sleeping." Yun Yun.

Qin Hui was furious when he learned about it, but Song Taizu's oath monument included the clause "no crime for words".Qin Hui had no choice but to find out some of Zhang Jun's mistakes when he was prime minister, demoted Zhang Jun again, and threw him to Lianzhou. Suddenly, he firmly said that Qin Hui should stop there, after all, Zhang Jun had a high reputation and didn't want to cause any trouble.

Qin Hui had no choice but to let go, feeling deeply that "the universe will last forever, and this hatred will last forever."That's why I want to find out who is ignorant of current affairs who sabotaged his plan by talking to Zhao Gou.

Of course Zhao Yuan would not jump out and say "I did it", let alone Xiao Shan.

So Zhang Miao, Zhang Jun's nephew, still doesn't know all this inside story.But one thing is certain, because he is Zhang Jun's nephew, he was suppressed by Qin Hui.Zhang Miao was originally Zhao Gou's guard of the imperial army, and he would have a bright future if he followed the emperor all the year round, but he was thrown into the Pu'an Palace. He also knew that it was because of his uncle, and he knew more about the feud between his uncle and Qin Hui. No matter what he did, he would be hated by Qin Hui, so it was impossible to offend his uncle Zhang Jun, who raised him since he was a child, just to please his enemy Qin Hui.

Moreover, Zhang Miao attaches great importance to his own reputation, which is inherited from his uncle Zhang Jun. He has a strong taste of pretending to be a criminal when he speaks and does things.Qin Hui would not go to Zhang Jun's nephew to be his spy, and of course Zhang Miao would never go to be Qin Hui's spy: Zhang Miao's wife, children and mother are not in Lin'an, but live with his uncle Zhang Jun. Lianzhou now.If you offend your uncle, your wife, children, and mother will be in bad luck.

Xiao Shan thinks that Yu Chuanshi and Zhang Miao are very reliable people without any problems, no matter in terms of background, or their personal political stance and social relations.

The other three basically reliable people, Xiao Shan also judged based on a similar method, but because the situation of those three is not like these two, it is completely impossible to be Qin Hui's spies, so the return to the position is basically reliable.

As for Wu Hao mentioned by Zhao Yuan, Xiao Shan classified him as an unreliable object of suspicion, because although he usually disapproved of some of Qin Hui's actions, his surrounding relationships and background could easily be judged by others. Grab the handle and threaten.

After Xiao Shan defined the reliable elements, basically reliable elements and unreliable elements among the bodyguards, he also generalized them to classify all the eunuchs, palace maids and other people in the palace in the same way. After analyzing myself, I found that I was the only one in the category of "extremely unreliable, basically a spy, and not a spy who must be out of his mind".Xiao Shan thought silently in his heart: Zhao Yuan was right to treat me with that attitude at the beginning.

After Xiao Shan clearly divided these people in his mind, he realized a problem: when he judged, he paid more attention to a person's political stand, rather than such things as moral character, personality, and feelings.Furthermore, he found that when judging a person's position, his background and social relationship are the most stable, while his personal emotions and character are the most easily shaken and unstable.

While Xiao Shan was busy investigating the spies in the mansion one by one, Zhao Yuan fell in love with another thing - Cuju.
