Tokyo, Takeshi.
I don't know if it's an illusion or it's the nature itself. The majestic Yamen always gives people a cold feeling, which can't be dispelled even in summer.
This is the power center of the Wude Division and the command center of the Wude Division officials all over the world. Every day, news and intelligence from all over the country are gathered for centralized sorting, analysis, and processing.
Above the Yamen Hall, the most eye-catching thing is the huge picture of goshawks chasing wild animals. The exquisite screen wall exudes a sense of weight and grandeur, and also gives people a sense of historical sedimentation.
Sitting high on a hawk-shaped chair, immersed in the dog-headed bronze case, the military commander Wang Yinwu was going about his daily work, reviewing a large number of intelligence messages. Of course, these messages collected from below were all initially sorted and analyzed, and were then used by the intelligence agency. The analysts identified the valuable ones and then reported them to Wang Yinwu.
What Wang Yinwu needed to do was to further analyze and screen the still confusing news before deciding whether to report it to Emperor Liu.
Wudesi has developed for so many years and has already formed a mature and complete management system. Its top priority is the collection and organization of intelligence information.
This analysis system was only further promoted after Wang Yinwu took office. Different from Li Chongju's era, Wude Si in Wang Yinwu's era was more active and public.
After all, Li Chongju was a bit of a moral freak. He only wanted to fulfill his duties and did not want to be a snitch. In addition, he was cautious by nature and was afraid of breaking taboos. Therefore, the Wu Desi in Li Chongju's era was generally relatively low-key, even in a low-key manner. A state of self-isolation and depression.
After Wang Yinwu was replaced, the situation began to change, not only internally, but also externally. Especially when facing the Imperial City Division, fights began everywhere, from the capital to the local areas.
Since Zhang Dejun was unwilling to limit his power and influence to the capital, and began to expand across the country, setting up strongholds and deploying personnel in various capitals and important cities, the contradiction between the two major intelligence organizations has gradually become acute.
Although they are both intelligence organizations, their functions are different. Compared with the overall role of the Wude Division, the Imperial City Division mainly monitors public opinion in the Gyeonggi Province and monitors important figures, mainly internally and within the Gyeonggi Province.
Wudesi is not the case, not only internally, but also externally, and based on the world, the whole country plays a game of chess, and the whole world is monitored. In the view of the Wude Department officials, the Imperial City Department was ambitious and infringed on his power and interests.
During Li Chongju's period, he basically sat back and watched this situation, trying to avoid conflicts between the two departments. Although there were discords, the conflicts were not intense. This is why Li Chongju suppressed Wude Secretary with his own status and prestige.
But even so, in the later period of his taking charge of the Wude Division, some people within the Wude Division were already dissatisfied with Li Chongju, especially with his style of doing things. After all, a leader who is strong, especially externally strong, and can safeguard his own interests, It is easier to get support.
When Li Chongju took the initiative to resign, it was not necessarily out of self-protection to avoid Emperor Liu's suspicion. The invisible pressure from within also made him feel that he was no longer suitable for the position of military virtue envoy.
The situation changed after Wang Yinwu took over. Unlike Li Chongju, Wang Yinwu did not have so many commendable achievements. He had insufficient background and was relatively weak. To put it bluntly, he was a lucky person. He succeeded Wang Yinwu and occupied a lot of positions. Mostly luck.
Therefore, he took over as Wu Deshi. If he wanted to convince the public and control this huge organization, he had to do something. After all, Wang Yinwu had climbed up step by step from the Wude Division system. He had a very good understanding of the operating rules of the Wude Division and a deep understanding of the mentality of the officials above and below him.
Therefore, while adjusting personnel and further optimizing the intelligence collection and analysis mechanism, the biggest change he brought to Wude Division was to become tougher, especially for the Imperial City Division.
This was a difficult choice for Wang Yinwu. He did what Li Chongju didn't dare to do, and he offended everyone he didn't dare to offend. This was an approach that left no escape route.
Especially for the Imperial City Department, Zhang Dejun was a person close to Emperor Liu. He had served the emperor in front of the emperor for ten years. Wang Yinwu, who had climbed up from the bottom, could not compare with him.
However, Wang Yinwu was not a fool. At least one thing he saw clearly was that Emperor Liu replaced the Wude Envoy in order to bring some changes to the Wude Envoy.
At the same time, he did not think that Emperor Liu had any objections to the overstepping practices of the Imperial City Division. As the most important minion of Emperor Liu, if he loses his spirit and is not sharp enough, then what is his value?
The most important thing is to always conform to Emperor Liu's psychology and obey Emperor Liu's will. Wang Yinwu didn't say that he completely hit on Emperor Liu's idea, but he did guess a few points. Therefore, his bold and radical approach was considered a success. Therefore, his position as the military envoy became more and more stable.
Under such circumstances, over the past ten years, the conflicts between the Imperial City Division and the Wude Division have become more and more intense. They ambush each other, attack each other, and hold each other back. The fight is endless.
Facts have proved that although Zhang Dejun was a close friend of Emperor Liu, his influence really could not affect the Wude Secretary. At least it was extremely difficult to get Wang Yinwu, the Wude Envoy, down.
When the Wude Division began a full-scale confrontation with the Imperial City Division, the pressure felt by the Imperial City Division was also increasing day by day. Especially at the local level, many officials under the Imperial City Division found that the work on the intelligence line was becoming increasingly difficult. Things are getting worse and worse. The past situation that was always unfavorable has become difficult under the guidance of Wu Desi.
This made Zhang Dejun angry and embarrassed. He complained to Emperor Liu more than once, but to no avail. He adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the fight between the two companies, as long as it was controlled within a certain range.
Of course, Emperor Liu's psychological bottom line was particularly uncomfortable for Zhang Dejun. He was able to achieve his current fame and power only because of Emperor Liu's favor and favoritism. When this kind of preference became "fair", he felt a little uncomfortable.
In a gathering with the Gyeonggi officials of the Wude Department, Wang Yinwu once publicly announced that he would "close" the Imperial City Department within the Gyeonggi Province again, and that within the Gyeonggi Province, they would fight against each other. Outside the Gyeonggi Province, their territory would still be theirs. .
These words are domineering and show off his personality, but they are also very uplifting. This is why Wang Yinwu is more popular than Li Chongju. When these words reached Zhang Dejun's ears, the old eunuch became furious and determined to bring down Wang Yinwu.
Li Chongju didn't dare to provoke him like this. Zhang Daguan, you and Wang Yinwu are nothing. Therefore, in these years, especially in recent years, Zhang Dejun, in addition to continuing to cater to Emperor Liu, focused most of his energy on Wang Yinwu and Wude. Si's body.
The big and small bosses within the Imperial City Division, whether it was to cater to their superiors or for their own interests, were united and worked hard to collect evidence of Wang Yinwu and Wude Division's illegal and chaotic system.
Similarly, Wu Desi is also tit for tat. Up to now, whether it is the Imperial City Division or the Wude Division, their archives have accumulated a large amount of unfavorable intelligence and evidence against each other. However, fight after fight, fight after fight, there is no possibility of a decisive blow. Holding back.
