"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1323
"My lord, Mr. Zhang, Vice President of the Intelligence Investigation Institute, pays his respects."
Zhou Han, chief executive of Hedong Province, returned to his mansion with nothing. When he was frowning and thinking about the solution to the problem, a guard knocked on the door and reported.
"Vice President Zhang Yi?"
After Zhou Han heard the guard's report, he also raised his head in doubt.
"The man said that his name is Zhang Yi, and he is the vice president of the Intelligence Investigation Institute." The guard said respectfully.
"Hurry up, please."
Although I don't know why the other party visited me in the middle of the night, but Zhang Yi is the vice president of the Intelligence Investigation Institute, one of the seven departments and two institutes, and his rank is from the second rank.
And the rank of the chief executive of his local province is the third rank, which means that Zhang Yi is one level higher than him.
What's more, the Intelligence Research Institute is the core department of the empire. When Zhang Yi visited late at night, Zhou Han stood up to greet him.
"I don't know if Mr. Zhang came to visit, but he is far away from welcoming you. Please make amends."
"Where is it, I ask Mr. Zhou not to forgive me for bothering me late at night."
Zhang Yi, a second-rank official of the imperial court, was light and simple, wearing ordinary coarse clothes, and only four guards followed him.
"Master Zhang condescends to visit the humble house, and let the humble house flourish. Please come inside."
Zhou Han invited Zhang Yi, the vice president of the Intelligence Research Institute, to his main hall to sit down, and ordered someone to bring tea.
"I don't know why Mr. Zhang came to visit late at night. If there is anything that needs someone from me, Zhou, I will do my best to help."
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Han, the Chief of Political Affairs, also turned to the main topic, and directly asked Zhang Yi's purpose of coming.
After all, Zhang Yi, as the vice-president of the Intelligence Research Institute, has a high position and authority, and should have stayed in the imperial capital. Now that he has suddenly arrived in Hedong Province, Zhou Han can't figure out why he came.
"Zhang's visit to Hedong this time is at the order of His Majesty." Zhang Yi said with a smile.
Hearing that Zhang Yi came here on the order of Emperor Chen Zi'ang, Zhou Han's expression turned serious, and he immediately paid more attention to it.
Zhou Han asked respectfully: "I wonder what your Majesty's intentions are?"
"Your Majesty learned that the provinces are facing many hostile forces secretly disrupting the order, and it is difficult to carry out various tasks. He specially ordered our Intelligence Investigation Institute to send people to assist the governors of the provinces to stabilize the situation." Zhang Yi replied.
After hearing Zhang Yi's words, Zhou Han also understood that Zhang Yi did not come alone for the Hezhong Province, and the Intelligence Investigation Institute has appointed personnel to various places.
"I came here this time mainly to assist Lancang Province, Hedong Province and Eastern Province to eliminate the enemies hidden in the dark." Zhang Yi also explained his scope of work.
"On behalf of Hedong Province, I welcome and thank Lord Zhang for assisting our Hedong Province to destroy the enemies in the dark." Zhou Han also expressed his attitude immediately.
Zhang Yi said modestly: "It's all for the prosperity of the empire. You don't have to be polite, Chief Zhou."
"With Master Zhang's assistance, the problems faced by our Hedong Province will be easily solved." Zhou Han also showed a smile on his face.
Now although Zhou Han knows that there are many enemies in the dark, but now that he is a newcomer, he is like a deaf and blind man, so he can only act in a hurry.
It was like leading a team to raid various shops tonight, but they were all in vain, which made him very depressed.
However, in the face of the chaotic situation, he also felt a little helpless, which made this general who was once decisive on the battlefield quite uncomfortable.
Now with the assistance of the intelligence and investigation institute, it means that they can get some intelligence support, and it is much easier to do things.
The Intelligence Investigation Institute has a strong intelligence network. It is precisely because of the support of these intelligence that the Qinghe Army can be invincible on the battlefield and finally win.
Now a considerable part of these intelligence networks are no longer external, but turned internal, and the provinces will also receive great support.
Chen Ziang appointed several vice presidents of the Intelligence Investigation Institute to the local provinces, and also wanted them to coordinate the local intelligence network, from external to internal, to assist local governors and military chiefs, and stabilize local order.
Because stabilizing the local order has now become the top priority of the empire. If the order cannot be stabilized, then any work will be difficult to carry out.
Chen Zi'ang has already ordered Li Changqing to be the head of the Security Army, leading the mobile troops to the southwestern region where the situation is most serious.??.
However, although there are not many enemies on the surface in other areas, there are many in the dark. Therefore, the secret force of the Intelligence Investigation Institute was sent out to fight against each other.
The arrival of Zhang Yi, the deputy dean, made the chief executive of Hedong Province very happy.
In the past, he was deaf and blind. With the help of the Intelligence Research Institute, he will have clairvoyance and ears, and it will be difficult for enemies in the dark to hide.
"There are a lot of enemies hiding in the shadows in Hedong Province. They hoard food and other materials, drive up prices, and suppress and refuse to accept money tickets issued by our imperial bank. This has caused people's resentment to boil."
"But now the imperial court encourages business and protects merchants. If I don't have evidence, it's not easy to directly send troops to arrest people, otherwise I will be handed over to others."
"Tonight I sent people to raid some shops, trying to seize evidence of their hoarding of supplies, but they were in vain. Someone even threatened to go to the Supervisory Committee to report me for violating the imperial court's policy of encouraging commerce, and to report to His Majesty for severe punishment."
Speaking of these things, Zhou Han, who is the chief executive of the province, is full of anger. If he had known that it would be so difficult to be the governor of the province, he might as well have stayed in the army.
The current person in charge of the Supreme Supervision Committee of the Empire is Chen Ru, a highly respected person, and the committee members are all people who can reach heaven.
Once someone really wants to mess with him, and His Majesty believes in the slander, he will really be the governor of the province.
"This matter is simple. I have learned about the situation in the past few days in Hedong Province, and I have sent someone to investigate the matter." Zhang Yiyun said calmly.
Hearing Zhang Yi say that he had been in Hedong Province for several days, Zhou Han also showed a strange expression.
"The people in your intelligence and investigation institute are like this. The dragon does not see the head and the tail, and it is mysterious." Zhou Han said with a smile.
Zhang Yi explained: "If we are exposed to the public, it will be difficult to carry out our work."
"According to the report of our people stationed in Hedong Province, this incident was fueled by the remnants of the previous dynasty. Among them, a former prince named Wu Jing was the leader of this incident. However, there is another person in charge. We are still investigating. .¡±
Zhou Han knew that someone was making trouble in the dark, but he never expected that there was actually a master Hou from the previous dynasty behind the scenes.
"Tonight, Chief Zhou led people to rush to nothing, and the reason is very simple, that is, the news was leaked, and those people have already transferred the supplies hoarded everywhere."
"Did the news leak out?"
Zhou Han also had a serious look on his face. He was still thinking hard about why he missed nothing just now, but after mentioning it, he suddenly realized it.
"But the people around me are all brought out by me, they are absolutely impossible to leak the news." Zhou Han immediately frowned again.
"Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing the heart, Mr. Zhou is so sure that no one will leak the news?" Zhang Yi asked rhetorically.
"Master Zhang, don't be so secretive, tell me who the person who leaked the news is, and I'll kill him alive!"
"As far as I know, that person is Wang Chengfu, captain of the security team." Zhang Yi said in a low voice after looking outside the door. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
