Chapter 80 Xuanyi Hall
Eunuch Hong is the old eunuch who was called in by Fengyun Shang. He is also a master of golden elixirs and has served three generations of emperors.
"Eunuch Hong." As Feng Yun Shang spoke, he handed over a banknote and said, "I am new here, so I would like to ask Eunuch Hong for your advice."
Eunuch Hong smiled and pushed Feng Yun Shang's banknote back, and said in a sharp voice: "Master Feng is really embarrassing this old slave. You are the leader of Xuanyitang. How can I dare to accept your banknote?"
Fengyun Shang put the banknotes into his pocket. Although Eunuch Hong's face was expressionless, there was a bit of alienation in his eyes.
But I heard Fengyun Shang say: "It's true that this junior doesn't understand etiquette. Eunuch Hong has been with Your Majesty for a long time and is a god-like figure. How can he be the same as ordinary people like us?"
While speaking, Feng Yun Shang grabbed Eunuch Hong's hand and threw a small jade bottle in. Eunuch Hong smiled happily and quickly took Feng Yun Shang's hand and said, "If Chief Feng has anything to do in the future, just say hello."
, the old slave still has some friends."
Fengyun Shang smiled and let go of his hand. After asking Eunuch Hong to sit down, he asked, "I do have something to ask Eunuch Hong. I wonder what this Xuanyitang is. Why have I never heard of it?"
Eunuch Hong sat half-assed on the chair. After listening to Fengyun Shang's question, he waved his hand and said, "It's natural that Chief Feng hasn't heard of it, but Chief Feng, the predecessor of Xuanyitang, must have heard of it."
"Ichthyosaurus Guard."
As soon as he heard these three words, Fengyun Shang knew how much help Feng Tianju had given him. The Yulong Guard was famous in the mortal world and was the intelligence system directly under the Emperor of Feng Kingdom. To put it bluntly, Feng Tianju had a great reputation.
Any disturbance within the country cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Fish Dragon Guard.
Once on the border of the Feng Kingdom, an ordinary hunter casually complained about the emperor. The next day, what the hunter said, along with the portrait, were sent to the desk of the Emperor of the Feng Kingdom.
No wonder Feng Tianju said that Feng Guo would not give him any help in the future. It turned out that the Fish Dragon Guards had already been given to him. With the Fish Dragon Guards, if Feng Yun Shang was still forced to ask for help, there would be nothing for Feng Tianju.
It’s valuable.
Fengyun Shang asked nonchalantly: "Your Majesty gave me the Fish Dragon Guard, what about your Majesty..."
Eunuch Hong smiled and said: "Your Majesty has established the Jinyi Guard again and transferred some senior officials from Xuanyi Hall. It will not affect it."
Fengyun Shang quickly thanked him. For an organization like Yulongwei, the top management was important, but in fact the real key was the well-established intelligence system. Even if some high-level officials were transferred there, Jinyiwei would not be able to develop to the scale of Yulongwei.
Ten years or even hundreds of years is impossible.
Eunuch Hong smiled and said: "Then I will take Chief Feng to meet the senior officials of Xuanyitang. Chief Feng will have to deal with them in the future."
Fengyun Shang quickly stood up and said, "Then I'll bother Eunuch Hong." He handed Eunuch Hong a banknote without any hesitation, and Eunuch Hong pushed the banknote back again. But this time it was not a polite gesture, but a genuine one.
No, it's not good to be too greedy after all.
Fengyun Shang smiled, did not force anything, and followed Eunuch Hong out of the small dark room and walked towards a main hall.
There is a plaque with the name "Xuanyi Hall" hanging outside the hall. After entering the hall and looking at the plaque from the back, you can still faintly see the words "Yulongwei".
"Eunuch Hong." It can be seen that Eunuch Hong should be a frequent visitor to Xuanyitang. People kept saying hello to him along the way. Eunuch Hong would also smile and nod. Even after entering the hall, Fengyun Shang could
I feel that these senior officials of Xuanyitang are in awe of Eunuch Hong.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Eunuch Hong walked to the innermost seat and stood next to the main seat, then turned around and said, "I'm here today to introduce you to some of the new leaders of Xuanyitang."
"Chief Feng, please take a seat." He said this to Feng Yun Shang. Feng Yun Shang didn't show any pretense and walked directly to the main seat and sat down.
After looking around the hall, there were currently eleven senior members of Xuanyitang, each of them carrying a more or less sinister aura. The way these people looked at Feng Yun Shang didn't look like they were looking at their leader.
, more like looking at an unrelated stranger.
After introducing all these senior officials to Fengyun Shang, Eunuch Hong blinked and said: "Chief, they say that new officials have three things to do when they take office. It's time for your fire to start."
As soon as these words came out, the eleven people in the hall looked at Fengyun Shang with unkind eyes. Fengyun Shang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Since Eunuch Hong has said so, I have no choice but to borrow your power.
."
Eunuch Hong smiled and said nothing, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Fengyun Shang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, pretending to be a tea drinker, but in fact he was thinking quickly about how to light up the fire. Eunuch Hong pushed him forward like this. There was no way he could not make some achievements today.
Good.
Not to mention, what the eleven senior officials of Xuanyitang think of him, but Feng Tianju can't explain it. Feng Tianju can look at this place through Eunuch Hong!
"Master Yi." Fengyun Shang coughed and said, "Go and get the information of everyone in Xuanyitang currently in this courtyard."
Fengyun Shang knew that since Eunuch Hong had wholeheartedly caused this situation, the purpose was not to prevent him from coming to power. Rather, it was up to Fengyun Shang to find out if there was really something that could help him quickly establish his authority.
The helmsman was the only woman among the eleven people. After glancing at Eunuch Hong and seeing that he had no objection, he slowly walked out of the hall and went to fetch dozens of bamboo slips.
These bamboo slips were placed on the table next to Fengyun Shang, piled up like a hill. Fengyun Shang was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the information in Xuanyitang was recorded on bamboo slips. Although he often held the bamboo slips and studied them, it was not practical.
It's just a personal hobby. Dongyuzhai's daily correspondence uses paper. It's cheaper and more convenient.
"Are they all bamboo slips?" Fengyun Shang asked, "Nothing else."
"All the writings in Xuanyitang are bamboo slips." The helmsman replied and sat back in his seat.
Fengyun Shang smiled and picked up a bamboo slip and read it. After a rough look at the bamboo slips, Feng Yun Shang frowned. Judging from their resumes, everyone had no problems. He thought he could tell from their resumes
I saw some problems.
"I'd like to trouble the helmsman again to get the information on the recent case in Kyoto." Feng Yun Shang said to the helmsman again with a smile.
The helmsman got up again and fetched some bamboo slips. This time there were more, completely filling the desk in front of Fengyun Shang.
There are eight halls in Xuanyitang, which are respectively responsible for the intelligence tasks of Feng City, Northern Feng Country, Southern Feng Country, Western Feng Country, Eastern Feng Country, the Thirty-six Kunlun Kingdoms, other countries, and overseas barbarians.
The north, south, east, and west are all divided with Fengcheng as the center. North of Fengcheng is the north, south of the south is the south, and so on.
The person in charge of each hall is the helmsman. In the past, the helmsmen of the eight halls rarely gathered in Fengcheng at the same time. But this time, in order to welcome Fengyun Shang, the newly appointed leader, all the helmsmen of the eight halls were present.
The Director of Yi is not one of the eight halls, but is independent of the eight halls. She is responsible for managing all the files stored in Xuanyitang. Whether it is a summary of the case files or personnel information, they are all under her jurisdiction.
Fengyun Shang read less than half of Fengcheng's information before a smile appeared on his lips. He waited until he had read all the information before saying, "Director Yang."
This helmsman Yang was the helmsman in charge of Fengcheng in the Eight Halls. When he heard Feng Yun Shang calling his name, he just said "hmm" and then waited for Feng Yun Shang's next words.
"A bandit appeared in the city recently? Ma Tuozi from Wuhua Mountain?" Fengyun Shang looked at a file, shook it twice, and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes. This Ma Tuozi has committed many crimes in the city and robbed many rich people." Captain Yang looked at Fengyun Shang and said, maintaining the most basic respect.
"Where did this information come from?" Fengyun Shang asked again.
"Given by the Ministry of Punishment."
Fengyun Shang said "Oh", put the bamboo slips together, and said with a smile: "Although I have been in Fengcheng not long ago, I also know that there is no Wuhua Mountain outside Fengcheng, and there are no bandits around Fengcheng."
It’s a joke, if banditry breaks out around the capital of a country, what’s the point? There are just a few underground gangs and it’s already a big deal.
"So you didn't read this information and just put it into the database directly." Fengyun Shang's voice became stern and he said, "Is this considered a dereliction of duty?"
"This information was put into the warehouse by my subordinates. I don't know." Captain Yang said coldly. Fengyun Shang didn't think he was blaming someone too much. After all, this case was just a theft in the end, and it wasn't enough.
The level of the helmsman.
"The lax supervision is also your responsibility." Captain Yang did not refute this time and accepted the mistake.
Fengyun Shang didn't pursue it, it was just a small flaw, just a clue left by Eunuch Hong.
Yes, Fengyun Shang didn't think he could find any convincing loopholes as soon as he took office. Therefore, this test was probably directed and performed by Eunuch Hong and others, just to see Fengyun Shang's ability.
"Okay, since you admitted it, let's look at the next one." Fengyun Shang picked up another file and said, "In January this year, an old couple from out of town sued the state's state herd for embezzling relief grain."
"This case has reached the heavens. Why is there no detailed history of the case in the Xuanyitang file, only one sentence that is pure slander." Feng Yun Shang closed the file and looked at Captain Yang.
Without waiting for Master Yang to speak, Fengyun Shang continued: "This case is also related to you, Master Tong. How about Master Tong explain it to us."
