Chapter 133 Jinyiwei
Since corruption cannot be cured, we can only cure the symptoms.
To cure the symptoms, how can we do without the spies everywhere?
Speaking of spies, Li Chengqian's first choice is Jinyiwei, a military and political spy agency of the Ming Dynasty.
Before crossing, Li Chengqian was not only a fat otaku, but also a COSPLAY lover!
Sometimes he would participate in anime exhibitions. In addition to COSPLAYing anime characters, he was most COSPLAYing Jinyiwei.
Wearing a Feiyu suit and a Xiuchun sword on his waist, don't forget how cool he is.
In the future, Jinyiwei can become his secret guard, responsible for collecting intelligence for him, finding evidence, etc.
Li Chengqian had wanted to set up the Jinyiwei for a long time, but he just didn't have the right time, place, or the right person to trust.
Now, Li Chengqian felt that the time had come, and it was time for the Jinyiwei to step onto the stage of history.
"Wang Quan, go and call Long Zhi to me. I have something to tell him to do." Li Chengqian did what he said, and immediately ordered Wang Quan to find Long Zhi.
"Yes!" Wang Quan took the order and left.
Soon, Wang Quan brought Long Zhi to Li Chengqian.
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Long Zhi saluted Li Chengqian.
"No need to be polite! Please give me a seat!" Li Chengqian said.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me a seat!" Long Zhi thanked him.
"Wang Quan, all of you leave. No one is allowed to enter without my permission." Li Chengqian ordered Wang Quan to take the eunuchs and palace maids out of the hall.
Wang Quan and others knew that the prince was going to have a secret conversation with Long Qianniu Beishen, which was not suitable for them to hear, so Wang Quan and others bowed and left.
Long Zhi was a little nervous and surprised at this time!
What surprised him was that the prince and he were in the hall, conspiring for something big, which showed the prince's trust in him.
What he was nervous about was whether he could do the things the prince had told him to do well and repay the prince's kindness!
"This time I summoned you here for one thing, and I can only rest assured if you handle this matter!" Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness, please follow my orders, and I will swear to be loyal to you until death!" Long Zhi said firmly.
"Okay!" Li Chengqian said, "I want to set up a guard, named Jinyi, which is mainly responsible for gathering intelligence, searching, and monitoring officials. Jinyiwei is a secret guard that walks in the dark, hides in the darkness, and acts secretly."
Li Chengqian told Long Zhi the main duties and functions of Jinyiwei, so that he could have a clear understanding of Jinyiwei.
"The official who leads Jinyiwei is called the commander! You will be in charge, and you will select the personnel yourself."
"Under the commander, there will be two deputy commanders and four captains, and the rest will follow the organization of Zhechongfu."
"Jinyiwei is not under the jurisdiction of any department and is directly responsible to me." Li Chengqian said.
He did not mechanically apply the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, because after all, these were two different systems, and the guard system was not suitable for the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Highness! Are the Jinyiwei personnel selected from the guards of the Eastern Palace?"
"No! It is better to select people from the guards of the Eastern Palace to avoid attracting other people's attention."
"As for what to do, it's up to you! I grant you full authority to handle this matter." Li Chengqian said.
"Your Highness! I want to select a few people from the guards of the Eastern Palace, and then recruit some people from outside." Long Zhi said.
"Okay! But these people must be reliable! No one except you and me must know about this." Li Chengqian said.
"Yes!" Long Zhi replied.
"All the Jinyiwei will wear Feiyu uniforms and carry Xiuchun swords. You can do this." Li Chengqian said.
After arranging the work functions, it is natural to issue work clothes and equipment to these Jinyiwei. Otherwise, how can they catch prisoners in the future.
"I'll take my leave!" Long Zhi stood up and left.
A few days later, Long Zhi came to see him!
"Your Highness! The Jinyiwei personnel have been selected!
Your Highness, would you like to go and take a look?" Long Zhi asked. "Okay! I will go with you to see who you have selected?" Li Chengqian stood up and walked out, and Long Zhi hurriedly followed.
Long Zhi took Li Chengqian to a hidden place, which was the secret base of Jinyiwei. "Your Highness!
" A group of Jinyiwei wearing black Feiyu uniforms and wearing embroidered spring swords on their waists immediately bowed and paid homage to Li Chengqian after seeing him.
Li Chengqian walked to the main seat and sat down, saying, "No need to bow!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" The Jinyiwei stood up.
"Your Highness! These two are my deputy, the commander of the Jinyiwei Mansion, and these four are the captains of the Jinyiwei. The four of them are responsible for collecting intelligence, arresting, handling special events, and instigating rebellion." Long Zhi introduced their division of labor to Li Chengqian.
To put it bluntly, one of these four people is responsible for intelligence work, one is the chief of the secret police, one is responsible for assassination, sabotage, etc., and the last one is responsible for instigating rebellion, that is, doing ideological work.
"Very good! The Jinyiwei is just starting out, and the most important thing now is to intensify the training. There is no mission for the time being. When there is a mission, I will naturally notify you. As long as you are loyal to me, I will not treat you unfairly." Li Chengqian said with satisfaction.
"We swear to be loyal to your Highness until death!" Long Zhi and the two deputy commanders and four captains immediately expressed their loyalty.
"Except Bocheng, everyone else should withdraw first!" Li Chengqian said.
"Yes!" The six people withdrew with interest. They knew that what was coming next was not what they should hear.
"Are these six people from my Eastern Palace?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Yes! They are the death warriors that your Highness secretly trained. Most of the Jinyiwei are these death warriors." Long Zhi did not hide anything.
This group of death warriors were secretly trained by Hegan Chengji, the predecessor of Li Chengqian, in preparation for rebellion.
However, after the time traveler took over Li Chengqian's body and became the current Li Chengqian, after dealing with Hegan Chengji, some of these death warriors were incorporated into the Six Rates of the East Palace, while others were dismissed.
To be honest, these hundreds of death warriors are now in use, and they are absolutely loyal.
"So, you will recruit all the death warriors in the East Palace into the Jinyiwei." Li Chengqian said.
"Yes, Your Highness! Not only that, I also recruited the death squads that were originally dismissed. The smarter ones were assigned to collect intelligence, and the strong ones with high martial arts skills were assigned to arrests and secret operations." Long Zhi said.
"Good! With these people, it saves a lot of effort, so I feel more at ease!" Li Chengqian said.
The two chatted for a while, and after roughly understanding the current situation of the Jinyiwei, Li Chengqian left the base of the Jinyiwei and returned to the East Palace. After
returning to the East Palace, Li Chengqian allocated a sum of money as the expenses of the Jinyiwei without hesitation. If you want the horse to run, you must feed it.
The same reasoning, if you want the Jinyiwei to be loyal to him, you must give them enough benefits.
Let these Jinyi Guards understand that the only right way is to follow me.
