Chapter 1526

"King, I'm afraid that the minister's ability is limited and he is embarrassed by the heavy responsibility." Gu Chen's rare beginning stutters.

"There is no doubt about your ability, and I can trust it."

"As for the manpower, you don't have to worry about it. You can choose one million soldiers of our army at the level below the commander of the army. You don't need to apply. You can directly report to me. The staffing is temporarily set at 30000."

Gu Chen's eyes widened more and more and looked at Tang Yin in disbelief. The latter said: "the dark arrow, like a sharp knife, can be inserted into the enemy's heart anytime and anywhere. Gu Chen, I hope you can build a shadow for me. You can watch every move and every word and action of any official in Fengguo. The name, I have already thought for you, is called shadow. "

Tang Yin said these for Gu Chen is too shocking, a time also seems to be at a loss. He stammered: "king, Minister"

"don't talk about incompetence, embarrassment and heavy responsibility!" Tang Yin said, "I don't want the world to know that there is shadow. I have told you so much. If you don't accept it, how can I seal your mouth?"

Gu Chen excites Lingling to fight a cold war, he understood that the king did not give himself the leeway of rejecting, either accept, or die.

He frowned and pondered for a moment. He stepped in and knelt down. He said, "the king's kindness to his courtiers is unforgettable. Even if you go through fire and water at the king's command, you will never give up."

"Well, very good!" Looking down at Gu Chen kneeling on the ground, Tang Yin nods with satisfaction, and then says, "Gu Chen listens to seal!"

"The king has granted you the title of inspector in front of the imperial court, the Earl of Jin Dynasty, and given you a sword."

Gu Chen inspiratory, imperial inspection envoy? That's the official position of the imperial court. The supreme sword is also exclusive to the emperor!

Tang Yin looked at him with a smile and said, "in the future, all the expenses needed for the establishment and maintenance of the shadow will be provided by Emperor Ting, so you will not go to the Treasury of the windy country. Do you understand what I mean?"

Gu Chen is smart, a little bit transparent, immediately understand why the king wants to seal his imperial court official post. The king didn't want anyone to know about the existence of shadow, so he chose to avoid Fengguo in terms of expenses and turned to the imperial court. In fact, the money of the imperial court was provided by Fengguo. In fact, the shadow was still kept by Fengguo, which was just to avoid the public's attention. As for the superior sword, it is also a cover. At best, it can make it easier for him to investigate cases in local areas under the banner of emperor.

"I see."

"Besides you and me and shadow members, no third party can know the name of shadow, let alone the organization of shadow. Therefore, when selecting a person, you must be careful, that is, you must be capable and loyal. There are no restrictions on men and women, and no restrictions on age and age. If anyone who joins in wants to quit halfway, you must try to make him shut his mouth forever! After training, shadow workers are assigned by you and placed in different places to monitor the behavior of local officials. If any illegal act is found, the shadow personnel can report their crimes to you, and then you can directly hand them over to me. "

"Yes, my Lord!" Gu Chen kneels on the ground, one side agrees, while wiping cold sweat.

He didn't know how the king thought of setting up the shadow organization, and he had planned so carefully. At this time, he felt Tang Yin's horror. Your heart is hard to measure. I'm afraid that's what it is!

Tang Yin's experience in Huandi Nancheng made him aware of the chaos and corruption in the governance of local officials. At that time, he had the intention to set up a shadow. Now there is the case of Fan family selling salt and iron, which makes him more firm in his mind. He must have such an organization around him, which can replace him in seeing and listening.

Let Gu Chen to act as the first leader of shadow, he also had after careful consideration.

In fact, the first person he thought of was Cheng Jin. However, Cheng Jin had already taken charge of the secret arrow, and then let him take charge of the shadow. He was afraid that he lacked the skills to separate himself. Moreover, Cheng Jin's heart was still too soft. He was cold to the enemy, but he always wanted to let go of his own people.

Different from Gu Chen, he was an official of the former dynasty and believed in aristocratic ideas. He looked down on the officials of Fengguo who were born in clay legs from the bottom of his bones. Therefore, he seldom walked around and communicated with them. Let him take charge of the shadow. He could supervise the officials from the imperial court and down to the local government with absolute integrity. This is what Tang Yin wanted.

The establishment of shadow, it can be said that the wind country has a large-scale and invisible internal monitoring organization. Its members are male and female, old and young, and their disguised identities are also different. They are scattered in various parts of Fengguo, but they are rarely known. They may be strangers who pass you by, or they may be the closest friends or even the people on your pillow. It is difficult to say clearly whether shadow is good or bad for Fengguo. It is like a sharp blade, which can kill people and save people. The key lies in its owner.

Tang Yin decides to transfer Gu Chen, but once there is no Gu Chen in the Lieutenant's house, only Gu Chong is left. I'm afraid it will be useless.

He asked Gu Chen with a smile: "Gu Chen, I transferred you to the imperial court. Do you think your uncle is competent for the position of Lieutenant's house?"

Gu Chen frowns secretly, he is clear in the heart, if do not have oneself assist, uncle already was removed by the king. He pondered for a long time and said, "reply to the king, my cousin ivy has outstanding ability and can take over the position of minister in the Lieutenant's house.""Ivy?" Tang Yin rubbed his chin and asked, "how is he better than you?"

"Far better than a minister." Gu Chen answers simply, also can't hear he is in humility or really admire this cousin.

Tang Yin en said ambiguously, "I know. In the future, I will find a chance to meet your cousin. Gu Chen, you go back to prepare now, draw up the list of member candidates as soon as possible, and give it to me. "

"Yes! King! The minister will leave first Gu Chen was about to leave the study when Tang Yin suddenly thought of something and said to A-San, "ah San, give the token that you can enter and leave the palace to Lord Gu. Later, you don't need to report it when you enter or leave the palace."

"Most kings!" Gu Chen is in a hurry. When A-San hands over the token to Gu Chen, he can't help but feel a throb in his heart. This should be one of the advantages of becoming a close minister!

That night, Zong Yuan went to the prison of the lieutenant house to visit fan Ju.

Although fan Ju is now a prisoner, but his identity is still there. The conditions of his cell are very good. Not only is it clean and clean, but also he has all kinds of daily equipment. He can hardly find two prison guards to serve him.

After they met, fan Ju stood up in a hurry, arched his hands and said, "Oh, how did Lord Zong come?"

With these words, he looked at the jailer who was not far away and asked in a low voice, "I heard that the king has returned to the capital? Did the king tell Lord Zong about the fan family's case? "

Zong Yuan nodded slightly, then put down his hand to the prison guards around him and said in a deep voice, "you all go down!"

After sending all the jailers away, he took fan Ju and sat down beside the bed. He whispered, "abbot, this case of the fan family selling salt and iron is not a trivial matter. You have to prepare yourself for it."

Hearing this, fan Ju's head hummed. His face turned white. He murmured, "what? King, is the king going to kill my husband

"Mr. Fan is the abbot of the state. Of course, the king doesn't want to kill you. However, the case of the fan family has become a big problem. It's known all over the country. It's hard to deal with it rashly. It's hard for the king to win over the people's support." Zong Yuan shook his head and sighed.

Fan Ju lowered his head and remained speechless for a long time. He seemed to be more than ten years old. His face was gray. He couldn't help but look up and sigh, "I understand! I don't want to embarrass the king. I'll make a confession. I just ask Mr. Zong to do me another favor. I also want to have a last look at my family "

seeing this, Zong Yuan feels almost the same. He looks upright and says in a hurry:" what's the word of the abbot? What's the matter with the abbot when his family makes mistakes? Who made the mistake? The abbot will hand over to bear the responsibility. Why do you have to die to apologize? The Abbot's words are heavy. "

Oh? Fan Ju's eyes lit up, and he asked with surprise and joy, "ah? The king didn't want to kill my husband? "

Zong yuanle said, "abbot, as I said just now, the king is reluctant to kill the abbot. However, there must be an outcome. Therefore, the abbot can't protect his weaknesses. He must hand over those children of the fan family who despise the law of the king. If they can voluntarily surrender to the court, it would be better. The king may be able to spare them."

Fan Ju was also a smart man. He immediately understood Zongyuan's meaning. He wanted to hand over several fan's children to go out to take the blame. The old man nodded slowly and said, "don't worry, Mr. Zong. I will give the king an account of himself"

"en!" When it's time to cut the meat! Zong Yuan nodded and said, "in addition, the abbot has to pay a fine of 30 million Liang silver. Although the amount is large, I think the abbot can afford it."

Thirty million taels! Fan Ju took a cool breath, which was almost equivalent to the total income of the fan family for three years. He murmured: "so much is needed"

Zong Yuan sighed: "the abbot of the state should spend money to avoid disaster! What's more, our country is now at war with Chuan and Huan, and the Treasury is very empty. If the abbot can come forward and donate such a large amount of money to the imperial court, the king will remember his good deeds. "

He was so good at speaking that fan Ju didn't even have room to say no. the latter laughed bitterly, thought for a moment, patted his thigh and said, "yes! I will listen to you, master Zong. Thirty million taels, thirty thousand taels

Even for the fan family, it can be said that they have to pay 30 million taels at once. However, as long as they can get back the king's forgiveness, they can earn twice or three times in the future.

"It is not only the blessing of the fan family, but also the blessing of our country."

With these words, Zong Yuan stood up and said with a smile: "the abbot of the state is to rest for a few days in the Lieutenant's house. I believe that after a while, the king will come to pick up the abbot himself and return to the mansion."
