Zheng Huchen knew very well that if he wanted to get ahead in the palace, he would not be able to gain a foothold just by killing the traitor Jia Nidao, and this honor would only bring him the scourge of killing himself. However, King Wei took in himself at the risk of offending the prime minister of the dynasty, if he could not reflect his value, he would be abandoned sooner or later, or he could only remain silent and become an unknown doorman, but this was contrary to Zheng Huchen's ideal of reviving his family.

Zheng Huchen understands that this is the most difficult time for the palace, but it is also the easiest time to get ahead, so he must seize this opportunity. But when he found out that the prince was hesitant because he was worried about his safety, Zheng Huchen was extremely moved in his heart, and he was also ashamed of his utilitarian heart, and made up his mind to follow him to the death.

"Captain Zheng is serious!" Zhao Yu hurriedly left his seat and supported him with both hands, and at the same time felt a little uneasy in his heart, he knew that the ancients were not like modern people, they respected heaven and earth, and believed in ghosts and gods, this kind of oath would not be easily exported, and it was not too much to force people to be like this.

"Your Highness......" Zheng Huchen didn't get up, and shouted out to His Highness, his voice was a little choked.

"Okay, this king agrees, but you have to promise me one thing." Zhao Yu said solemnly.

"Your Highness, please speak, all your subordinates obey." Zheng Huchen said.

"This king wants you to promise not to act rashly before the court reveals your whereabouts, which will bring about death, everything is for your own safety." Zhao Yu said word by word.

"Your subordinates should remember His Highness's teachings." Zheng Huchen was even more moved when he heard this, and only stood up after saluting again.

The matter has come to this point, and with the experience of Zhao Yu and his two lives, the fire is almost over, and it will be over if it continues to be performed, so he began to get to the point. The spy agency is absolutely secret in every country, and what Zhao Yu knew in his previous life was nothing more than film and television and public information, and as for how to operate, he was a layman, so he listened to it a lot, and it was more Zheng Huchen who was talking.

Although it was a hastily accepted task, Zheng Huchen deserved to be an insider and quickly entered the role. According to his analysis, the current biggest opponent of the royal palace is still the Mongols, and it will be the focus of their work now and in the future. But at this moment, it is not the Mongols who are related to the life and death of the palace, but the court and the queen mother, only by understanding their thoughts, can we decide where the palace will develop next, so in the case that the prince cannot participate in the court meeting, we must find out their attitude as soon as possible. In view of the current situation in the palace, the intelligence agency should not be too large, but it should be lean, loyal, and strictly confidential.

Zhao Yu knew that the ancient spy agency was a product of imperial power, which also determined that it was basically inward-looking. Its primary task was to monitor and suppress domestic or internal ministers and civilians, and only in wartime it was used as a tool for spying on both sides of the hegemony, and after the war ended or a new dynasty was established, it would be reduced to an institution to spy on the common people's officials. Based on the limitations of the times, although some of Zheng Huchen's ideas coincide with Zhao Hao, he still has not jumped out of this prison, and Zhao Hao wants to let him play a greater role, but considering his actual situation, he can only put it down temporarily.

Next up is naming and permissions. Zhao Yu thought about it, the spy agency is a special unit, and the names are very obscure, such as the Jinyiwei and the East and West factories in the Ming Dynasty, the sticky pole before Yongzheng ascended to the throne in the Qing Dynasty, and the later Military Command Bureau and Party Affairs Office, so it must not be blatantly listed and opened. But in order to facilitate their work, they must have a corresponding title and certain privileges.

"My subordinates think it's very appropriate to hang it in the inner house, which can not only cover people's ears and eyes, but also make it easier for subordinates to see His Highness's briefing." Zheng Huchen listened to Zhao Hao's idea and recognized it very much.

"Well, then it's called the Internal Government Affairs Bureau, and it's called the agency responsible for the activities outside the palace and the procurement of all kinds of supplies, okay?" Zhao Yu said.

"The Interior Affairs Bureau?! The subordinates thought they could. Zheng Huchen thought for a while and said, the name is not the point for him, the question is how much power there is.

"The main task of the bureau is to spy on the enemy's intelligence, monitor and deal with the betrayers in the palace, and capture and monitor the spies sent by the enemy. At present, the Secretariat is only responsible for the king alone, and nominally he is still in charge of Wang De, but in fact you are fully responsible in the name of doing official business, and there are major actions that need to be notified to the king and obtained permission on weekdays, and in case of emergency, they can be dealt with appropriately, and the required funds are also paid from the inner government. Zhao Yu continued.

"My subordinates know." Zheng Huchen replied happily, there is nothing wrong with something to be reported to the prince, there is Wang De in front of him, and it is very safe for him to preside over the work behind the scenes. Although the position is low, he is only responsible for the prince, whether it is the head of the inner or outer government, he can't control them, but he can supervise them at any time, in fact, his status is very transcendent, but Wang De's face on the side is unnatural.

"This king plans to send fifty sergeants from the guard camp to you for transfer, is it enough?" Zhao Yu inquired again.

"Your Highness, the personal guard battalion bears the heavy responsibility of guarding His Highness, two hundred people are not many, fifty subordinates really dare not accept it, ten people are enough." Zheng Huchen's face turned red, he thought that he had ruined the good deeds of the prince when he was picking troops, how could he be embarrassed to ask for people, it can be seen that the prince had doubts on his face and explained, "Your Highness don't worry, you don't have to use elite soldiers, sometimes peddlers are pawns, but monks and beggars are more suitable." ”

"Well, that's reasonable, then you can recruit it yourself, and you can keep the case for future reference." Zhao Hao thought about it, in his previous life, spies generally had the identity of an ordinary person and a legitimate profession as a cover, and it was not easy to attract attention, so he agreed.

The matter was basically finalized, and the two talked some gossip again, and Zhao Yu asked Wang De to allocate one hundred taels of gold to Zheng Huchen as a start-up fee, so that the intelligence bureau of the palace could be regarded as open. And no one would have thought that a few years later, the frightening and pervasive Great Song Affairs Bureau would only be decided after a long talk between the two, and what is even more incredible is that there is a child who is only five years old......

'Raising 10,000 soldiers, fighting for money every day', Zhao Hao silently calculated in his heart, these days to hold festivals, buy food, recruit craftsmen, and today allocated a sum of money to the Bureau, a few jobs, relying on the robbery of the gold and silver has consumed most of it, but there is still a lot to do, that is to say, there are more places that need money, raising soldiers is simply a black hole to swallow money.

"Refurbishing the warship and preparing weapons and armor are the most urgent things at present, but the salaries of officers and sergeants are very tight." Zhao Hao was thinking about the limited funds in his pocket, and he couldn't hold on for a few days. And even if this team is counted as a township soldier and does not pay salaries, there is still money for pickles, and now everyone is relying on dried fish for food, and the body can't stand it for a long time, and it will definitely affect the combat effectiveness.

Zhao Hao calculated for a long time, how could the remaining money in his hand not be enough, and there were only two places where money came here, one was to reach out to the imperial court, and the other was to collect it from the local people in the name of the palace, but it was difficult for him to realize it after thinking about it.

First of all, the imperial court was at sea and hid in Tibet, except for the property brought out of the palace at that time, it can be said that there is no big economic source, and the finances are not rich, and he and Zuo Xiang are not on good terms, even if they give it, it is a drop in the bucket, and the problem cannot be solved. And it is not easy to collect it from the local people, it is not rich here, the imperial court has lived here for a month, I am afraid that it has made the people cry bitterly, and they will have to scrape the bones and suck the marrow if they collect it again, so not only can they not get much things, but they will fall into the notoriety of disturbing the people, just like the robber in the news in the previous life, although he only robbed a few dollars, he was sentenced to several years in prison, which is definitely a deal that outweighs the loss.

"It would be nice to have a piece of land of your own." Zhao Hao sighed and muttered, reaching out to ask for money always depends on people's faces, at this time, forcibly expropriating the people is no different from plundering. To survive in this troubled era, we must have our own base, so that we can have a steady stream of taxes and soldiers, develop and grow, and restore the country.

"Huh!"

"Your Highness, what are you laughing at?" Wang De, who was waiting on the side, saw that the prince sighed for a while, talked to himself for a while, and now he smirked again, which startled him, and wondered if His Highness was sick, so he reached out and touched His Highness's forehead and asked.

"Hehe, dreaming!" Zhao Yu was also startled by the interruption of his thoughts, slapped Wang De's hand away and smiled casually, he was amused by his thoughts. Although the current imperial court is small, there are also many talents gathered in it, and what they can think of, others will definitely be able to think of it. The imperial court left Fuzhou and went to Quanzhou, except for the Yuan army approaching step by step, why not want to find a foothold, they have stayed in Jiazi Town for more than a month and have not moved, I am afraid there is no suitable place to go.

"Dreaming?! Dreaming in broad daylight? Wang De didn't dare to ask again, he had always been very curious about the sudden change of the little prince, and he had vaguely heard from Ni Liang's words that His Royal Highness had dreamed of immortals when he was on the boat, and only after getting guidance did his brain open up and become very smart, so he could only babble in his stomach.

"How?" Zhao Yu knew in his heart that independence was impossible, but as soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he couldn't get rid of it.

Zhao Yu knew that in more than a year, the little emperor Zhao Yu in the history of the Great Song Dynasty would die of fright due to falling into the water, and he would ascend to the throne, but that was a road of no return. Now that he has established his own power, he should be allowed to grow strong enough to resist all the forces in the court, and not be a puppet at the mercy of others. But it is still unknown to get out of the current predicament and convince the empress dowager and the emperor where they will go, and whether they will be strong enough to have a say in the court in a year......
