Yan Qi curled his lips and said, "reason? Do you still need reason?"
The Eighth Prince laughed angrily: "Of course there is a need for reason. If there is no reason, why reform? Also, if you ask me why I oppose the independence of the intelligence system from the Privy Council, I can't explain it."
"But, I want to ask you now, why do you have to separate the intelligence system from the Privy Council? If you can't explain the reason, what's the difference between you and me?"
This is a very tricky question to ask.
The tip of the needle is facing the wheat awn.
The ministers were so frightened that they dared not speak out.
Every time I go to court, it's like risking my life.
Yan Qiyi spread his hands: "Isn't it obvious that the lice on a bald man's head are just lice? I thought the Eight Kings could see through them at a glance! But I didn't expect you to be a blind stick."
The Eight Kings were furious: "You actually called me a Bangchui? Well, okay, tell me the truth, and I will recognize the name Bangchui. If you can't tell me, I won't spare you."
"Then just talk about it."
Yan Qidao: "Separating the intelligence system from the Privy Council has two major benefits. The first benefit is independence, the second benefit is resource sharing, and the third benefit is top secret!"
“Let’s talk about the first benefit first, independence.”
"The intelligence system exists in the Privy Council. It is under tremendous pressure from the Privy Council. It cannot analyze intelligence freely and is seriously controlled. Whether it is funding or personnel deployment, it needs to be decided by the Privy Council. This is very important for intelligence analysis. It is completely unprofessional. Only an independent structure can give full play to the advantages of the intelligence system."
"The second benefit: resource sharing."
"The intelligence system is affiliated with the Privy Council. All intelligence can only be owned by the Privy Council and cannot be shared with the outside world. This greatly wastes the power of the intelligence system. This is killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, overkilling the chicken with overkill."
"So, how can we maximize the use of intelligence? It's very simple! As long as the intelligence system is separated!"
"The Privy Council needs information and asks for it from Zhao Yulin. The Ministry of Secretariat needs information and asks for it from Zhao Yulin. Or, the cabinet needs information and asks for it from Zhao Yulin. Only in this way can the full power of the intelligence system be unleashed. This is the so-called resource sharing. ."
"The third point: top secret! And this is also the biggest reason why I insist on splitting the intelligence system."
"Most of the information that the intelligence system comes into contact with cannot be shown to others and cannot be known by anyone. Including me, including General Zhang, including Prime Minister Yang, and of course, the Eight Kings."
"Only who
, can you know all the information? That is the Emperor, and only the Emperor can know all information. "
"Therefore, separating the intelligence department and handing it over to the emperor to take direct responsibility is the greatest protection for the intelligence system."
"Take another ready-made example."
"Why was it not made public when General Zhao Yulin escorted foreign ambassadors to Beijing for worship? That is because due to the internal political situation of each country and the travel requirements of the ambassadors of each country, it could not be made public. Of course, General Zhao Yulin must meet the requirements of the ambassadors, even for I kept it a secret and I was encouraged."
"However, the Eight Kings took this opportunity to attack me, the Ministry of Rites, and Zhao Yulin's intelligence system? Isn't this a complete misinterpretation of General Zhao Yulin's achievements?"
"Although, in the end, General Zhao Yulin's covert actions were clarified, the Eight Kings caused irreparable harm to General Zhao Yulin."
"Moreover, when General Zhao Yulin is doing things, he is being criticized and talked nonsense by an irrelevant person like the Eight Kings. It is simply unbearable."
"To give another more serious example. A few days ago, I climbed over Daxing Mountain and attacked Yege Base Camp. General Zhao Yulin conveyed information to me. However, the Eight Kings thought that I was going to rebel and wanted to hold me accountable. Even To cut off my food and grass."
"At the very least, this is an attempt to kill me and wrongfully accuse me. At the most serious level, isn't this forcing me to die? To put it more seriously, isn't this forcing my whereabouts to be revealed to the world, leading to a surprise attack at night? If Ge fails, will he be chased by Ye Ge instead?"
"Thankfully, the Emperor Mingjian did not listen to the nonsense of the Eight Kings. Otherwise, Yege had already marched straight into Jizhou, how could there be today's singing and dancing?"
"From the two examples I just gave, we can see how important it is to keep the intelligence system top-secret! And if we want to keep the intelligence system top-secret, we can only do it by splitting the intelligence department and being directly responsible to the emperor. It works.”
"The above three reasons, independence, resource sharing, and top-secret intelligence, are the reasons why I request the separation of the intelligence department. Eight Kings, do you think what I say makes sense?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they were eloquent and penetrating, and they were completed in one breath.
The argument is precise and the evidence is sufficient.
Impeccable.
Moreover, every sentence makes sense.
No one can refute it.
After hearing this, the Eighth Prince's face turned the color of pig liver.
Body trembling.
My brain is buzzing.
His eyes were fixed on Yan Qi, as if he couldn't move.
He was thinking about how to refute Yan Qi
.
However, there is no clue.
Yan Qi's three reasons were like three mountains, weighing heavily on the Eight Kings.
The Eight Kings had no possibility of counterattack except surrendering.
Taishan's crushing blow made him dizzy.
In particular, Yan Qi turned over old scores and used his accusation of Yan Qi's rebellion to prove the importance of separating the intelligence department, which made him unable to refute.
Yan Qi smiled and looked at the Eighth Prince: "My lord, you have to express your position. Does what I say make sense? If it doesn't make sense, you can refute me fiercely or even denounce me. It doesn't matter."
"If the Eight Kings think it makes sense, hehe, then I call you a stick, do you have any other opinions? Hehe, my Lord Bangchui!"
Hahaha!
Everyone burst out laughing.
The Eighth Prince became angry: "Who are you calling Prince Bangchui?"
Yan Qi responded tit-for-tat and met the Eighth Prince's fierce eyes: "I said, come on, bite me, I've been vaccinated against rabies anyway."
"You...just wait for me."
The Eight Kings knew that they were completely defeated and couldn't bear it anymore. They didn't care that the morning court session was not over yet, so they left the court room angrily.
Yan Qi curled her lips: "The emperor has not even said that he will withdraw from the court, so he just left like this. How rude."
The emperor was very happy: "Old man, old man, don't leave. On New Year's Eve, you left in anger. Today, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you left in anger again. Look at you, why are you so angry?"
When the eight kings left the hall, they could hear the mocking voices of Yan Qi and the old emperor singing and singing.
This sarcastic laughter, every word is like a knife, piercing the heart, it is really painful.
He happened to pass by the Friendship Hall where the ambassadors from various countries were resting. He was so angry that he shouted inside: "If you don't give me face, I will never let you have an easy time. You will wait for me, you are a bunch of trash."
After scolding, he walked away.
The ambassadors from various countries were stunned: Is the Eighth King a lunatic?
…
Above the court, there was a sound of peace.
Without the Eight Kings, Yang Ke and Zhang Yongwu have become more honest, as well-behaved as two kittens.
The old emperor said to Yan Qi: "Yan Aiqing's analysis is very reasonable! Keeping the intelligence system independent is very beneficial to Dahua. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone! Oh, by the way, Yan Aiqing, the one you mentioned Intelligence department, what’s its name?”
Yan Qidao: "National Intelligence Agency, abbreviated as: National Intelligence Agency!"
The old emperor nodded: "Okay, okay, National Intelligence Agency, this name is too domineering! That... where is General Zhao Yulin?"
