..Text is first published. Each room in the inner courtyard has different permissions, so the further inside, the fewer people around Leng Ningyun. When he stepped into the inner room, there was only a black space around him.
The manuscripts and various documents compiled and translated by the masters are already placed on the table: these are collected and sorted by a dedicated person every day. Now we are busy with Sun Yuanhua's work, so the intelligence collection work in this area has become more and more intense.
Wu Kaidi was Leng Ningyun's indispensable assistant, and often had to handle some relatively sensitive matters for him, so some simple intelligence gathering work was changed to local slaves.
A large number of refugees from Beizhili, Shandong, Henan and other places flowed into the capital in winter. These refugees lived on the streets and relied on soup kitchens from Shuntian Prefecture to survive. Many people died of cold and hunger every day. Leng Ningyun took in dozens of them. After being screened, seven or eight smart and reliable children were left who were responsible for running out every day to buy newspapers and go to teahouses to listen to news. Other children he considered "unsuitable" were transferred back to Lingao.
These children can more or less recognize a few of them. They go out with a few cakes every morning and come back around three o'clock in the afternoon. When they come back, they tell the master what they have seen and heard. The master compiles it into a draft and reports it to the Beijing Intelligence Station through the Qiwei Escort Bureau every week. Lingao sent a "Summary of Important News of the Week in Beijing". After this information was sent to Lingao, in addition to being used by the Intelligence Analysis Department, it was also an important reference material for the historical data group of the National Library of China.
Leng Ningyun changed his clothes under the care of the life secretary, took a few more sips of tea and looked through today's information compilation. Of course, what he was most concerned about was the information about the situation in Dengzhou.
Judging from the materials in the Di newspaper, the battle for relief and suppression has gradually begun to fade away, and both the government and the public have begun to lean towards suppression. This is not only due to the repeated appeals of Shandong officials, but also due to the original main support faction: Xiong Mingyu , Xu Guangqi, Zhou Yanru and others have changed their attitudes
Obviously, Sun Yuanhua's letter has arrived in the capital, so these factions have begun to turn around. However, in order not to turn too fast and too abruptly, these former factions have launched a "slow suppression" campaign, and Sun Yuanhua's memorial also arrived in the capital a few days ago. Leng Ningyun has seen the whole story. Apart from his escape story and current military and government affairs, Leng Ningyun noticed that he had deeply reviewed his previous policy of pacification, and proposed to "focus on suppression, supplemented by pacification" and the current policy. Zhou Yanru, Xiong Mingyu and others changed their attitudes and cooperated very well - obviously both parties had fully communicated in private /\/\ /\/\
This made the originally fierce suppression battle in the court calm down. The parties only debated whether to "urgent suppression" or "slow suppression". The focus of the conflict in the court returned to the issue of how to deal with Sun Yuanhua and others.
Yu Dacheng has been completely dismissed. In addition to his failure to deal with the Dengzhou rebellion, his dismissal also involves some old problems from the past: In particular, he did nothing to suppress the White Lotus Rebellion and blindly appeased him. Not only did he request the imperial court to grant the leader of the riot an official position , there are even rumors that he is a brother of his leader, so it is not surprising that he was attacked and fell with concentrated firepower this time.
Because Sun Yuanhua was protected by Zhou Yanru and others, and because he got out of trouble in time, he was not attacked by accusations of "rebellion" like in the old time and space. However, the public opinion of the court was still very unfavorable to him.
Leng Ningyun listened to lectures when he was studying at the "Farm" and knew that those who attacked Sun Yuanhua were actually drunkards who were not interested in drinking. Rather than holding Sun Yuanhua accountable, it was better to take this opportunity to attack Zhou Yanru.
Whenever a major event occurs, the various factions in the court will use it to attack dissidents, and the same party will use it to attack dissenters and raise prisons to exclude political attacks. After the Yuan Chonghuan case, the former eunuch party members who were suppressed after the Donglin Party came to power With the help of this incident, Qian Longxi, one of the leading generals of the Donglin Party, was sentenced to death. Although he was finally saved by the efforts of Zhenmeng, Huang Daozhou and other Donglin Party members, he was still exiled to Dinghaiwei until The Nanming regime was pardoned only when the Ming Dynasty overthrew the Ming Dynasty.
Although Zhou Yanru was not a member of the eunuch party, he used this incident to operate privately and drove away Cheng Jiming, the chief minister of the cabinet. He became the chief minister.
The major incident of Dengzhou Rebellion naturally became a great opportunity for various political forces in the court to seize the opportunity to make trouble. To attack Sun Yuanhua was to attack Zhou Yanru.
Zhou Yanru had many enemies, but his biggest enemy was Wen Tiren, who was also a bachelor. Although Wen Tiren was introduced to the cabinet by Zhou Yanru, after driving away the chief assistant, the two of them went from working together to fighting against each other.
Starting from the spring of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren began to fight openly and secretly. Under Wen Tiren's instruction and instigation, officials continued to impeach him with memorials. After Zhou Yanru gained power, he acted so unscrupulously that even his domestic slaves became the general soldiers of the government and the public. Among those who were dissatisfied with him, many of them entered the stage of impeaching Zhou Yanru in November of this year and criticized Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai whom he had elected. This was also an important step used to attack Zhou Yanru.
The change of troops in Denglai gave the anti-Chou faction enough ammunition, so the attacks on Sun Yuanhua became more and more fierce. Judging from the content of the impeachment, it ranged from his waste of military pay to corruption to smuggling goods from Liaodong. The momentum to turn Sun Yuan into a "criminal of the country"
This matter is not so much about protecting Sun Yuanhua as it is about protecting Zhou Yanru. Leng Ningyun thought to himself, Sun Yuanhua is not the key, the key is Zhou Yanru.
From the perspective of the Senate itself, it does not matter who is in power, Zhou Yanru or Wen Tiren. But for him, a person who performs front-line tasks, if he wants to keep Sun's position, he must start from the political struggle between Zhou and Wen.
The History Research Group of the Great Library of China has also made similar speculations. Although Leng Ningyun doesn’t know what the Foreign Intelligence Service will do next, judging from various current signs, the Foreign Intelligence Service has obviously already started.
The biggest manifestation is that starting from the middle of the fourth year of Chongzhen, there have been a large number of exposure posts targeting Wen Tiren and his accomplice Xue Guoguan. Although a large number of them accusing him of being "remnants of the Eunuch Party" seem to be the work of the Donglin Party. But Leng Ningyun knew very well that these disclosure posts were most likely written by the "Truth Office"
Destroying Wen Tiren's reputation on a large scale - of course his reputation is not very good to begin with - is undoubtedly to concoct enough ammunition for the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party will not let go of this opportunity to deal with Wen Tiren.
Here, the operation of a larger situation is involved. Leng Ningyun thought, would it be an easier option to simply assassinate Wen Tiren directly? Judging from the current operational capabilities of the Foreign Intelligence Service and the Special Reconnaissance Team, it is not difficult to eliminate Wen Tiren without leaving any traces - but is this necessary? This all needs to be weighed
"Forget it, let Jiang Shan and Li Yan worry about it." Leng Ningyun decided not to think about it anymore. He still followed the instructions of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau and did a good job of winning over the eunuch first - the eunuch's actions at a critical moment. A few words are no match for the long speeches of outside ministers. As for the work on the deeper political struggle, let others do it.
Leng Ningyun's report was transmitted by radio to the Lingao Telecommunications Station. The naturalized citizen telegraph operator who received the report found that it was a coded telegram. Based on the call sign at the beginning of the telegram, she knew that it was a telegram from "Department 13". According to the regulations, she Immediately register the telegram number and then put it into the confidential folder of Department 13
That night, the mid-shift correspondent took the folder from the telecommunications main station. The telegram was then handed over to the confidential section for translation. The female confidential officer knew based on the serial number on the header of the telegram that it was an important letter from a foreign station. The intelligence cable was put into a locked red folder and immediately sent to the first place: the desk of Li Yan, director of the Domestic Division or Daming Division.
Li Yan read the report and immediately went to find Jiang Shan. Later, Jiang Shan held a meeting with Li Yan, Wang Ding, and the invited chief researcher of the History Research Office of the Great Library, Yu Eshui, and Zhang Haogu, director of the Office of Truth, in the conference room of the Foreign Intelligence Service. had a working meeting
At the meeting, it was believed that Leng Ningyun's analysis was generally accurate. Although the latest "Beijing Weekly News Summary" has not yet been sent, judging from the various intelligence previously obtained, in order to save Sun Yuanhua's political life, we still have to look at the overall situation. Clean up the anti-Zhou Yanru forces
The assassination of Wen Tiren is not technically difficult, but after discussion, everyone believed that the assassination of Wen Tiren was of little significance. After Wen Tiren's death, it will only make Zhou Yanru dominant, and the Donglin Party will definitely turn the spearhead of the struggle to Zhou Yanru. Zhou Yanru is not a Donglin Party either. ally, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru were working together in the struggle to overthrow Qian Longxi and drive away Qian Qianyi. Donglin may not be able to take advantage of this opportunity to overthrow Sun Yuanhua to drive Zhou Yanru away.
Only by retaining Wen Tiren could the Donglin Party choose to cooperate with Zhou Yanru. Although Zhou Yanru had done harm to the Donglin Party, he still had a close relationship with the Donglin Party. During the four-year general examination of Chongzhen, Zhou Yanru As the examiner, under the secret operation, a large number of Fushe, including Zhang Pu, the leader of Fushe, learned Chinese style. It is difficult to say whether there was a secret transaction between the two.
"Fushe and Donglin are actually the same thing," Yu Eshui said. "Zhang Pu's power is actually already superior to the big bosses in the old Donglin. Zhou Yanru ignored the old rules and forced Wen Tiren to be the chief examiner. In addition to taking care of his good friend Erdang Huiyuan, he also wanted to recruit famous Confucians as disciples to expand his influence in the court. From this point of view, although Fu She and Zhou Yanru were not the same people, they had some similarities. After all, Zhou Yanru's second rise to the cabinet later had a great relationship with Fushe's secret operation and support. They were not as incompatible as Wen Tiren." To be continued.
