Chapter 1451

"Your Majesty, the Liao Palace Guard's Confucian Army is the Liao Emperor's private army, protecting the safety of Liao Emperor, and not being bound by the Liao court, and only acting on the orders of Liao Emperor.

Now this Liao Emperor's private army has left Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji and traveled south with his clothes. It is probably related to the great relationship between our Song Dynasty and our great Song Dynasty and the defeat of the 100,000 troops of the Liao Kingdom with the Yuanyou divine power cannon."

Emperor Zhao Xu's face suddenly pulled down, and his eyes fell on the Yuanyou Divine Power Cannon sample that was already placed in his imperial study.

"Your meaning, Emperor Liao sent someone to steal the casting drawings or samples of the Yuanyou Shenwei Cannon of the Song Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty is so wise." Wang Yang replied to the emperor with a tribute.

Emperor Zhao Xu stood up angrily and gritted his teeth and said angrily. "I didn't expect that Emperor Yelu Hongji of Liao was so despicable. He could not beat me after the Song Dynasty, and he actually wanted to use such despicable means.

Ma Shang asked the Imperial City Department to investigate immediately. I must stop and arrest all the Liao spies who intend to sneak into Tokyo Bianliang. In addition, I will dispatch the sixth battalion of imperial guards to take care of the gunpowder workshop and the artillery casting workshop. By the way, two more imperial guards from the test gun field will be sent to strictly guard the imperial guards."

"Your Majesty, please don't do this for the time being, so as not to alarm the snake." Zhang Qi advised the emperor after bowing to the emperor.

"I have just discussed it before and thought it was a good opportunity to lead a snake out of the cave. What's more, the dead soldiers from the heart of the Liao Dynasty's palace guards are still on the border of Liao and Song dynasties. It's better to investigate and catch them all when they sneak into Tokyo Bianliang."

"I commented that since the Emperor of Liao dared to send them, it proves that they must have internal responses within the Song Dynasty. At this time, what we should do most is to tighten the inside and loose the outside."

"What do you mean is to lead the snake out of the cave?" Emperor Zhao Xu understood the meaning of these three ministers, but hesitated. "But what if the secret of the Yuanyou Shenwei Cannon is leaked?"

At this time, Zhao Ji cleared his throat and said confidently.

"Your Majesty, the difficulty in making the Yuanyou Divine Power Cannon of the Song Dynasty and the cumbersome process are definitely not comparable to that of the Yuanyou stone throwing machine. Just from the selection of iron ore, the production of fuel, and from smelting to casting and forming, I don't know how much effort it took to take at each step."

"And the process of artillery is divided, so the Liao people want to steal the casting method of Yuanyou Shenwei cannon, and the possibility of success is slim."

"What's more, if we can cut off the many subtitled spies hidden in the Song Dynasty in Northern Liao, our Song Dynasty will be able to be more calm in the future."

"You guys, do you think so too?" Emperor Zhao Xu pondered for a while and looked at everyone present.

"Your Majesty, I think that only in this way can I dig out those who secretly colluded with the Northern Liao Dynasty in our Song Dynasty." Zhang Ju said with a polite politeness in front of him.

"Well, since you and others think that this should be done, then I will leave it to Wang Wushan to do it. I will only be relieved if I leave it to you."

Wang Yang nodded heavily, "Thank you for your trust in me, I will not dare to slack off at all, but I need the assistance of the Imperial City Department."

"Of course there is no problem with this. You can transfer the information and personnel of the Imperial City Department, as long as you can catch them all. If you need other officials to help, just come and find me."

"With the Imperial City Department and the staff of the Privy Council, it is enough. Besides, the more people you know, the more loopholes in things are likely to occur." Wang Yang refused without thinking.

The Imperial City Department is the emperor's intelligence supervision agency. After changes and innovations over the past few years, its penetration and intelligence acquisition capabilities have become stronger and stronger.

The intelligence department of the Ministry of War had already followed the suggestions of Zhang Shi and Wang Yang and directly formulated the management of the Privy Council, and was directly responsible to Zhang Shi, the Privy Council envoy and Wang Yang, the deputy Privy Council envoy. This not only improved the status of those Song Dynasty's detailed works and spies, but also greatly reduced the reporting layer by layer, which easily caused information loss and errors.

However, the only power of the Imperial City Department in the Song Dynasty was the Imperial City Department, while the Privy Council was mainly targeting the countries around the Song Dynasty, as well as the business travelers of the countries who came to the Song Dynasty. Therefore, if you want to monitor the people of the Liao Kingdom, you can only use the power of the Imperial City Department and the Privy Council to check the missing points.

After the emperor's order, he led Wang Yang to the Imperial City Office to recognize his familiar faces. Wang Yang originally wanted to invite the two veteran drivers Su Dongpo and Zhang Yue to go there.

However, these two old guys left in a hurry and said that Wang Yang was the person in charge of the Liao Dynasty's detailed affairs this time, so they were too lazy to go to the Imperial City Department to get involved.

"How come these two old guys are like ghosts?" Wang Yang looked at the backs of the two of them in a hurry, rolled his eyes helplessly, turned his head and looked at Ma Shang beside him and asked.

"Our family doesn't know this either. Perhaps the two old men think that dealing with the Imperial City Department is prone to contempt and attacks from court officials. After all, you should also know that the Imperial City Department has a bad reputation."

"This is normal. The emperor's personal army is not under the control of all officials. It would be strange if they can feel comfortable. Naturally, they feel very unhappy." Wang Yang curled his lips and said indifferently.

As long as you know, you already know that the Imperial City Department is similar to the Jinyiwei in later generations. So, for Wang Yang, it can be helpful to his next work. What can I do if I go there?

The head of the Imperial City Department, also known as the Imperial City Envoy, is the young eunuch Ma Shang, who is only responsible for the affairs of the emperor and the Imperial City Department.

On weekdays, he had to be responsible for the emperor's daily life, so the ones who were actually in charge of the Imperial City Office were three eunuchs (eunuchs’ names) and seven eunuchs (also known as eunuchs’ names).

The predecessor of the Imperial City Department was the Wude Department. The Wude Department originated from the Five Dynasties and its name can be traced back to the Later Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. The Wude Envoy was the emperor's minion and had great authority, and restrained the "Generals of the Guards" and the Privy Council. He could not bear the responsibility of the emperor's confidant.

The meaning is that the Martial Destiny must be the confidant of the emperor. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, since the founding of the country, each of the Martial Destiny envoys was no longer a normal person. In other words, since Wang Ji'en, all the Martial Destiny envoys and the current imperial city envoys are not trusted eunuchs.

And the confidant eunuch whom Zi trusted the most today was Ma Shang, the young eunuch in charge. Therefore, after making achievements on the North Shaanxi Road, he returned to Tokyo Bianliang for less than two years.

The Imperial City Envoy's authority was very powerful, and the position directly responsible to the emperor fell on Ma Shang's head. The full name of the Imperial City Envoy should be "The emperor once sent the Imperial City soldiers to observe things in the distance."

"Mr. Wang, I believe you all should recognize him?" After Ma Shang led Wang Yang to the Imperial City Office, he summoned ten officials responsible for the actual affairs of the Imperial City Office.

Is this a big name? If the famous Wang Yang doesn't know the people who do CD-job jobs, then they will not have the face to stay in the yamen.

A group of people gathered up to greet Wang Yang. "We have met Lord Wang in our family."

When he saw the eunuch with a sharp voice on his face, Wang Daren suddenly felt uncomfortable, and he really had the urge to leave.
