Huo Gang, who was standing behind Li Ke, glanced at them calmly, objecting? If you want to target His Highness, I have known it for a long time. How can it be your turn to oppose it yourself?
I'm afraid you yourselves don't know what you are facing.
However, I have just become the Minister of Intelligence, so I have to keep a low profile. No, it should be said that the Intelligence Department has always kept a low profile. His Highness’s layout over the years cannot be destroyed in my hands like this.
Huo Gang still vaguely remembered that His Highness had accidentally mentioned a few years ago that the background of his mother and concubine made many people regard him as a thorn in their side, so he could only do this in order to protect himself.
snort! You people, such a good highness, you actually want to backstab him and hurt him. His Highness should be guarded by people like us. His Highness originally had no interest in the throne. It was you who forced His Highness to make these arrangements.
Huo Gang thought silently. He hid all these things deep in his heart. His Highness said that as an excellent intelligence officer, he should be indifferent to emotions and anger. To become a top actor, as an actor, self-cultivation is a must.
One can imagine how much psychological pressure His Highness must put in order to avoid making you suspicious! His Highness never dares to tell outsiders about his thoughts, isn't he just afraid that you people will target him? Only we subordinates can understand His Highness's thoughts.
For so many years, His Highness did not say anything, and we never asked, and have always cooperated with His Highness, but each of us knows our own great responsibilities. It has been ten years since Yuelai Trading Company was established, and the ten-year layout has finally taken this step. We have to Be careful not to expose His Highness's plan on your own.
I need to be an invisible person with peace of mind, and when His Majesty needs it, I need to provide him with certain information appropriately to show my abilities, but I can't show it too much and affect His Highness's plan.
While Huo Gang was thinking here, Li Ke was also discussing with Fang Xuanling and others the next work of the Sixth Department, mainly the candidates for ministers and other aspects.
Soon, Qin Qiong, Duke of Yi State outside the palace, rushed to Liangyi Hall.
"We have met His Majesty, His Highness the King of Qin, and several Dukes." Qin Qiong saluted everyone after entering.
Li Shimin stood up from his position, came over, and helped Qin Qiong up personally. Li Shimin cherished these old subordinates who had followed him in the wars since he was young, and even participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. .
From this point of view alone, Li Shimin is the only one in history. In all dynasties, Li Shimin used his personality charm to bring the Tang Dynasty into a stable period without killing any loyal ministers. Not even many ministers and generals of former Prince Li Jiancheng were killed.
It can be said that from the perspective of future generations, it is unique in the entire history.
Li Ke admired his father for this. To be honest, someone else might not have dared to play like this. The legacy of the former prince, such as Wei Zheng, would have been gone by someone else.
After helping Qin Qiong up, Li Shimin held Qin Qiong's arms with both hands, then carefully looked up and down Qin Qiong, and then couldn't help but smile happily and said: "Haha, Uncle Bao, seeing you like this, I'm so happy, we old brothers, after so many years of charging into battle, you followed me and got injured the most, and now you can finally recover, it's a good thing, a good thing."
"Thank you for your concern, your majesty. I am really ashamed. I should have shared your majesty's worries in court, but my body is really weak. I thought before that I might die soon and leave you first. Thanks to His Highness King Qin for letting Sun Zhenren help. I recuperated my body so that I could return from hell and continue to serve His Majesty." Qin Qiong was also feeling a little emotional.
In the past year or so, he has been recuperating his body and has rarely left the mansion. In the past few years, he was probably sick for half of the year.
"Yes, you look much better now, your face is rosy, and your whole spirit is different. It's not like before, when your face was sallow." Li Shimin nodded and said, "In this way, there are really people here. I have to give you a job, and only you can do it."
"My lord, please listen carefully to your Majesty's instructions." Qin Qiong bowed down and saluted.
Li Shimin smiled, then returned to his seat and sat down, then pointed to Li Ke next to him and said: "Recently, Li Ke submitted a reform plan for the Tang Dynasty. The military and the three provinces and six ministries have undergone many reforms. One of the key departments, Li Ke, Ke Zhuzhu wants you to take charge and let Li Ke talk to you."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I wonder what your Highness's job is?" Qin Qiong immediately saluted Li Ke.
"You're welcome, Duke Yi. In fact, this job is very simple. I just want you, Duke Yi, to be the door god of the people of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke said with a smile.
As soon as Li Ke's words came out, everyone present was slightly stunned for a moment, and then they were all a little dumb. After saying this, it seemed to be true.
"Door God?" Qin Qiong was a little confused.
"Yes, Door God, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will be split up and re-established as the Ministry of Public Security. As the name suggests, it is responsible for the public security of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the detection of previous criminal cases, and all the cases that the people encounter every day belong to you. This department is in charge and has established directly affiliated units in each province, state, county, and township.”
"Recruit retired government soldiers after the military restructuring, and some disabled government soldiers with meritorious service as officials to detect relevant cases. Even when some natural disasters occur, you have to go out to protect the safety of the people. You said, this Is he the door god of the people?" Li Ke said with a smile.
"This... Your Highness, I am afraid that a humble minister will not be able to handle such an important matter." Qin Qiong paused and instantly understood the key point here. Do all states, counties and townships in the world have to have directly affiliated units? And recruit retired soldiers? Doesn't this mean that the entire Tang Dynasty must lead at least hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers? These... are also military strength.
"Okay, General Qin, I told you not to refuse. Oh, you people just have such a problem. You always like to shirk, and ask and resign three times. We in the Tang Dynasty have always been able to do it. , General Qin, you have been fighting with my father for many years. Everyone here knows whether you are capable or not. You cannot shirk this matter." Li Ke said simply, holding Qin Qiong's shoulders.
Huo Gang lowered his head and silently remembered it in his heart. Your Highness is really smart. Duke Yi is suffering from illness and has been away from the center of power for many years. At this time, His Highness is nominated to return. He must remember His Highness. He is a person who can be won over. As long as His Majesty If you like His Highness, Lord Yi Guo must be His Highness's advantageous arm.
Now the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Public Security are in the hands of His Highness, and all movements in the country are in the hands of His Highness.
The corner of Wei Zheng's mouth twitched. Your Highness, you really don't shy away from me, right? Hooked on the shoulders.
