He Lanmin was choked and had nothing to say. She shook her head and gritted her teeth and said: "It's all my fault. It's all my fault for not keeping a close eye on them. I thought I let them monitor each other, and I thought that by helping their families, they would always be there."
Loyal to me, I still don’t understand how An Tong found them!"
The black robe said coldly: "Look, at this point, you still don't know how you were defeated. Let me tell you the truth, more than half of the secret guards, especially the few who started to rebel, are not An Tong
What was found was that they turned traitor themselves. So, you don’t know the human heart at all!”
He Lanmin said sternly: "I don't believe it. I have never treated them badly. How could they take the initiative to rebel?!"
The black robe laughed: "He Lanmin, He Lanmin, you can also say this. Is this your first day as a spy? When you were a spy before, did you feel that your father and brother were kind to you?
Is it good for you? Is it good for you to train you to be such a spy and a chess piece who never sees the light of day? You have to live in fear all your life. Is it good for you? If you couldn't stand this kind of life and almost collapsed, how could you do it?
Subdue me and become the Earth Envoy C?!"
He Lanmin's voice was trembling: "No, that's not the case. My situation is different from theirs. I am, I am the princess of the Helan tribe. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. It's my father and brother who are sorry for me and insist on forcing me to go."
Being a spy and a witch, but, they are different. Many of them were saved by me. If I hadn't given them a bite to eat, they would have starved to death. Over the years, I have also taken care of their families.
, even the traitor Narcissus, whose husband I found for her, actually betrayed me!"
The black robe laughed: "Is this the method of control you came up with? Giving people a meal when they are desperate and about to starve to death, settling their families, and giving them a living can make others give up.
Have you been loyal to the land for generations? He Lanmin, He Lanmin, your father and your aunt trained you to be a spy like this back then?!"
He Lanmin gritted his teeth: "Our Helan tribe has been like this for hundreds of years. The secret guards of all generations have been loyal and determined, and no one has betrayed them! Why has it been possible for hundreds of years, but not when it comes to me? I
I don’t understand, I really don’t understand!”
The black robe sighed and sat down cross-legged in front of He Lanmin: "He Lanmin, He Lanmin, until now, you still don't know people's hearts. The reason why these secret guards of your Helan tribe have been loyal to them for generations is not because your predecessors compared them with others.
You are better, but because the families and properties of these secret guards are all in the Helan tribe. In other words, you can be good to him and give them a living, or you can be bad to him and let his whole family die overnight.
This is the art of using both kindness and power to control people! The secret guards of the Helan tribe are never willing. They don't like to be driven and manipulated by others just like you. If you only have kindness and no power, they will betray you sooner or later!"
He Lanmin gritted his teeth: "But, but I also have control over their family members. Over the years, I have also killed people who did not do things well in public. It is not that I did not deter them. Why did it not have this effect? Why did I still let them betray me?
?Even if he is brutal and easy to kill Tuoba Gui, those tribe leaders would not dare to betray him!"
The black robe sighed: "Can you kill them openly and openly? Tuoba Gui can massacre Qinghe County and kill thousands of people without any reason, just a prophecy, and no one under his command dares to disobey.
, even those who act softly will be punished. This is the power of the emperor and the country, which can decide the life and death of millions of people. He can abide by the law or not, and there is no need for a reason to deprive others of their lives. If not,
How can this supreme monarchy be so enviable?"
"But what's the situation with you? Your secret guards and subordinates are just members of the secret organization. You can't execute them publicly, you can only execute them secretly. Afterwards, you have to give their families various benefits to keep them quiet, so as not to let others know.
To be suspicious, you even have to make up reasons why many of these people have disappeared and fled away from home. Therefore, your subordinates will not have the kind of irresistible fear of you, and they will not be helpless in the face of Tuobagui. If they
If you can't stand the current secret guard career, you will find a way to break away, or even betray!"
He Lanmin shook her head feebly: "So, it turns out that's the case. Is it possible that only by giving them Gu pills can they be obedient? But why, why does Murong Lan not have such a problem? Why are all her men so determined to do anything?
land?!"
Murong Lan sneered and turned out from behind the screen, her voice echoing in He Lanmin's ears: "Because, I will not go against the original intention of my men and force them to do many things they don't want to do. Just like you, let them do something they don't want to do.
Now that I have a stable life, I still have to drive them all the time. But sometimes I will never use them again in my life. Therefore, when I occasionally need to use them, they will thank me and take the initiative to serve. If I don’t want to use them,
Come on, I won’t force you.”
He Lanmin gritted her teeth and shook her head in disbelief: "I don't believe it. You are also the leader of the spies and you have done so many actions. I don't believe you can make people die just by relying on kindness and people willing to follow you!"
Murong Lan sighed: "He Lanmin, you may have forgotten one thing. In addition to being the queen of spies, I am also the eldest princess of Dayan. I am responsible for the entire intelligence agency of Dayan. I can officially serve Dayan.
Guards don't have to be as sneaky as you to do these things. Most of my men are official soldiers of the country and have military status. Their families know that they serve the country in the army, but they don't know what kind of tasks they are engaged in specifically. They will receive pensions when they die.
If you perform meritorious service and get promoted, can you give me these fair and aboveboard rewards?"
He Lanmin almost spit out another mouthful of blood. She laughed miserably and said: "It turns out that I have been a fool for so many years. I used a secret and shady underground intelligence organization to deal with you, the court hawks and dogs, who can deal with people in a fair and just way.
confrontation."
The black robe said coldly: "So, you can never really control your men, and they don't want to live such a precarious and frightened life. Tuoba Gui is a tyrant with cruel methods, and these people are even more afraid of what might happen.
If you find out the identity of the spies, the fate will be tragic, and the Helan tribe was wiped out. These tribesmen were scattered and organized into other tribes, and then they followed into the Central Plains and became the common people of the Wei Dynasty. Therefore, they betrayed you and turned to An.
