Great Sui Kyoto, Daxing City, Han Yuan Palace. Emperor Yang Jianzheng of the Great Sui Dynasty carefully reviewed the official letters and folds.

At this time, it was the memo sent by Yu Juluo, the head of the Yongzhou march, which described in detail the recent events in Shazhou City, and Shazhou, as the most important strategic target in the northwest direction of the Great Sui, even the Sui Emperor would pay attention to it at any time.

This memora focuses on the fact that when the defender of Gaotai City, Guo Yi Duwei Wang Junlin, passed through Shazhou City after returning from the Western Regions, he single-handedly destroyed Tuyuhun and settled in Shazhou City.

"This son is very good, and he is commendable for his loyalty." Yang Jian said sincerely.

At this moment, a red-clothed eunuch walked in and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, the secretary of the Northwest Foreign Marquis." ”

"Oh! Present. "Yang Jian has just watched the Northwest Secret Report, and he is very interested in the Northwest Secret Report at this time.

Since ancient times, the emperors of all dynasties have had their own private spy organizations. For example, the Han Dynasty's Zhizhi embroidered messengers, big who, school affairs, the Tang Dynasty had Lijingmen and bad people, the five dynasties had martial arts envoys, guards and prisons, the Song Dynasty's imperial city division and horses to bear, the Ming Dynasty was more, what East Factory, West Factory, Insider Factory, Jinyi Guard, Staff Division, Pedestrian Division and so on.

And Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian also has his private spy agency, that is, the internal and external marquis, responsible for monitoring the capital and courtiers, the royal family is called the inner marquis, and the outside of the capital is called the outer marquis, the organization is extremely strict, each state, county, and county has secret agencies, the focus is on the generals in charge of the army and the family of gate lords who can threaten the imperial power, so the real big men of the Great Sui Dynasty know that there are likely to be emperor's marquis officials in their own mansion or under their command and among the people around them. Of course, there are also powerful characters who have turned the Son of Heaven into a useful case.

And with Wang Junlin's official position and the soldiers and horses under his command, he was not qualified to be sent by the emperor as a marquis, but because his fame was too great, the performance in the battle last year was too dazzling, and the so-called great achievements were him. In addition, he is the guard of Gaotai City on the northwestern front line of the Great Sui, and his position is very important, so he also has the honor of being sent by the emperor as a marquis.

And the secret report that Yang Jian is reading right now is presented by the marquis next to Wang Junlin.

The secret report was very long, Yang Jian read it very carefully, and sighed from time to time.

"A few days ago, when Changsun Sheng came back, he reported to Wang Junlin, saying that the Western Turks sat in the world in three parts, and Wang Junlin made the first contribution, but he was trapped in the enemy cave and disappeared, and now it seems that this son actually passed the fake death, and was even buried alive by the demon monk Bodofa once, before he escaped, and the experience was so bizarre, it can be called nine deaths."

"On the way back, he ruined the good deeds of King Bailan with his own strength, this son is loyal and brave! Such a strange general, but I am also very curious. ”

"Come, spread my will, and expedite the horse Xuanyongzhou Zhangye County, Gaotai City Guard, Guo Yi, Du Wei Wang Junlin, into the capital of the saint."

Yang Jian didn't know whether this marquis didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he missed one thing - Wang Junlin was robbed by horse thieves, not only did he have nothing to do, but he also got a camel city worth a huge amount of money and more than 20 beauties.

The reason why this marquis is like this is because he was the only fire commander among the seven Sui soldiers who were injured at that time, and Wang Junlin gave him a big beauty.

The so-called "eating people with a short mouth, taking people with soft hands." This sentence seems vulgar and simple, but in fact, it hits the nail on the head and penetrates human nature, even the foreign marquis who is loyal to the Son of Heaven is not exempt from vulgarity.

If Wang Junlin learned the true identity of this foreign marquis, and then sent beauties, or even more wealthy women, it would be difficult to buy these marquis officials' loyalty and will to Emperor Sui, but Wang Junlin's obviously unintentional move suddenly moved this foreign marquis official from the bottom of his heart, and besides, he received a big beauty from the object he wanted to monitor, if he wanted to report this matter, he couldn't help but say that he accepted beauties, but let's say it, with the suspicious nature of this special creature like the emperor, he will definitely doubt his loyalty, It was a small matter for him to lose this big beauty, and he was accidentally convicted by Shangfeng, and the game was over.

In short, since ancient times, it has not been easy to be a spy for the emperor, and while spying on others, you have to be suspected by the emperor. In the Ming Dynasty, why there was Jinyiwei, there would be an east factory, an east factory and a west factory, and an inner factory appeared in the back, one of the big reasons was that the emperor was not worried about the espionage organization that had been established, and then made one out to supervise the front.

The so-called 'death to a confidant', 'don't use the suspicious, Don't doubt the use of people', this is the truth, the reason is very simple, but the higher the status, the more powerful the person will be, the more difficult it is to do it, and the emperor is one of the best, so in history, many people who were first given heavy responsibilities by the emperor and given a lot of power will eventually die miserably, and they all died in the hands of the emperor, such as Li Kui died in the law formulated by himself, Shang Ying died and even the body was divided into five horses, Chao Cuo was beheaded as a scapegoat, and those capable people who were highly meritorious and covered the master were killed by the emperor one by one.

It's easy to say, that is, the emperor took a fancy to the abilities of these people, gave them a platform to make great contributions, and then began to doubt them, and then tried to kill them.

Of course, there are also smart people who can do something in time to prove their innocence and dispel the emperor's suspicions, such as Wang Jian and Li Jing are undoubtedly the two most famous people.

Wang Jian invited Qin Shi Huang's retinue to visit his home, and constantly complained that the field house was too small, thus receiving a large number of rewards, which eventually cleared the way for him to lead 500,000 troops to destroy the Chu state.

As for Li Jing, when facing the suspicion of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he did it more thoroughly, he opened the door of his house, demolished the shadow wall, and slept soundly in the lobby by himself, and pedestrians on the street only had to turn their heads to see all his behavior in the lobby......

Of course, it is miserable and humiliating, but it works.

……

……

Wang Junlin had just returned to Gaotai City for less than half a month, when he received the will summoned by the Son of Heaven, he did not dare to slack off, and was ready to set off after arranging the affairs of Gaotai City in two days.

In the past few days, coinciding with the opening of the spring horse market between the Great Sui and the nomadic tribes in the Western Regions, the streets of Gaotai City have been full of people, and the Great Sui Dynasty opened a horse market in Zhangye County, Yongzhou, and carried out border trade with the Western Turks, Tuyuhun and Tiele departments.

Before the three counties of Zhangye, Wuwei and Xiping were included in the territory of the Great Sui last year, the horse market trade was generally carried out in Gaolan County, Jincheng County, but since the three counties became the territory of the Great Sui, the official trade and the private trade gradually moved north to Gaotai City, and because of the peace between the Great Sui and the Western Turkic royal court, the king of Tuyuhun Bailan also sent envoys to the Great Sui at the beginning of the year to nominally express his submission, so the horse market is no longer twice a year as before, but changed to a transaction once a year, The time has also been extended from 10 days to a month.

The prosperity of trade and trade naturally led to the prosperity of the city, as evidenced by the increasing number of liquor shops, inns, brothels and shops of all kinds.

Through a bribe of twenty taels of gold, Wang Junlin heard the news from the eunuch who sent the edict to him, and His Majesty may have seen him this time to reward him in person for his work in the Western Turks and in Shazhou City, and of course, it was also the accumulation of great military exploits in the great war last year.

This was an opportunity for Wang Junlin to upgrade Gaotai Border City to a county seat, and completely bring Dashibao and Minle Fort under its jurisdiction, so that Gaotai City could be expanded by more than four times, and he had too many ways to attract more people to pour in, reclaim land nearby, and make Gaotai City more prosperous, thus becoming the biggest foundation for him to gain a foothold in this world.

As for being transferred out of Gaotai City, Wang Junlin was still a little worried, but now with this great achievement in the Turks and the life and death with King Bodofa, coupled with his understanding of Shazhou City, he believes that Emperor Yang Jian of Sui will not transfer him out in a few years, and when Yang Guang, who is more suspicious, becomes the emperor, he has enough confidence to beat Gaotai City into a monolith, even if he is transferred to other places, Gaotai City has a new guard, and it will not be difficult to erect it at that time.

Of course, it would be great if he could be promoted again during this period and become the Eagle Yang Lang General of Zhangye County.

Gaotai City in this half a year, by Wang Junlin to build and renovate quite neat, the street layout is also square, if you look from the sky, you will find that the four streets of Gaotai City cross in pairs, is a 'well' character structure, the four main streets in the east-west direction are called East 1st Street, West 1st Street and East 2nd Street, West 2nd Street, the north-south street is called South 1st Street, North 1st Street and South 2nd Street, North 2nd Street, almost all the shops, inns, restaurants and brothels in Gaotai City are set up on these four streets.

At this time, Wang Junlin took four guards to stroll on the East First Street, in just over a month of skyrocketing, there are already ordinary adult cat-sized lynx running around Wang Junlin, as long as a stranger approaches, this little guy will grin, lean back, and pounce forward in an attack state, but because he is still too cute now, it did not scare pedestrians, but provoked some little boys and big girls to stop and watch.

Wang Junlin is the general existence of the emperor of Gaotai City, how can the people not know him, all the way over the people are not polite, Wang Junlin nodded if he knew him, and he didn't need to pay attention to those who didn't know, but the people also took it for granted. In fact, if it weren't for Wang Junlin's strict order, the people were not allowed to kneel down when they met him in the city, otherwise they would have to kneel all the way here.

Wang Junlin came here in person today, he wanted to purchase some gifts, needless to say, Yu Juluo was definitely going to visit when he passed through Jincheng County, and when he passed through the county seat, Taishou and Yingyanglang of Zhangye County would be the two top bosses, Yongzhou Thorn Shi Chen Sansi, and Tianshui County's Yingyanglang General Han Ziliang, although these people did not have much friendship with him, it was definitely inappropriate not to worship them.
