Mo Shen and others may have moved quickly in order to show their value to Zhao Jin.
In just two days, all relevant information about the dignitaries and aristocratic families in the court were placed on Zhao Jin's desk.
Most of them are things they did that cannot be seen in the light.
Zhao Jin frowned and flipped through the pages, then looked up at Mo Shen and said, "Well done."
Then, Zhao Jin continued to look through the papers on the desk and picked out some intolerable ones as "chickens" to scare the monkeys, and as for the remaining ones.
Although there are faults, they are not the same as the anger of humans and gods. After beating and weakening them, they can still barely survive.
Moreover, with this thing, it would be easier for Zhao Jin to carry out reforms.
Because Zhao Jin didn't speak, Mo Shen couldn't leave, so he could only stand where he was.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”
There was a knock on the door, and Zhao Jin knew who was coming and said directly: "Come in."
Seng Fan opened the door and came in unhurriedly, glanced at Mo Shen, and then saluted: "See His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Yeah." Zhao Jin responded, sorted out all the papers, and then looked up at the two of them.
He raised his chin towards Mo Shen, "This is Mo Shen, the leader of the secret guards of past emperors."
Then, Zhao Jin's eyes fell on Seng Fan again, "This is Seng Fan, who is responsible for all the intelligence systems of Gu."
Mo Shen's heart skipped a beat. There are many things that secret guards can do, but most of them are still collecting intelligence. And the young man next to him is responsible for all intelligence systems?
Mo Shen had to worry about whether he would be inferior to the other party.
"Now there is a problem. The two of you are responsible for some overlap."
Zhao Jin's words can be regarded as evading the important point, because the overlap between them is not even a little bit.
"Mo Shen, how much do you know about the neighboring countries such as Long State? Do you have any channels to obtain their intelligence?"
"Yes." Mo Shen nodded, "The secret guards are divided into three parts. One part is responsible for establishing the innocence of the Long Kingdom and other countries, one part is responsible for the intelligence within the Zhao Kingdom, and the other part is responsible for carrying out other tasks."
"The remaining tasks." Zhao Jin repeated softly, vaguely understanding what this task was.
The secret guards cannot only collect intelligence. If the emperor needs to remove someone or do other things, the secret guards will naturally be needed to do it.
"In this way, you two will redistribute."
Zhao Jin knocked on the table with his fingers, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Seng Fan, you are responsible for the intelligence within Zhao State, including Bianzhou City."
"Mo Shen, you are responsible for the intelligence of various countries outside Zhao State, as well as other tasks other than intelligence."
Hearing this, Mo Shen's eyes widened in shock, "Your Highness?"
He didn't expect that Zhao Jin would let him be one of the people in charge.
Moreover, the content he was responsible for and the people he commanded obviously included people from the East Palace who originally followed Zhao Jin.
In short, apart from the other subordinate officials in the East Palace, if we only talk about Zhao Jin's own subordinates, under Zhao Jin, they are him and Seng Fan.
Mo Shen originally thought that it would take some time for them to gain Zhao Jin's trust and make Zhao Jin value them.
But I never thought...
"Don't be suspicious of others, don't be suspicious of people when you employ them, and you do have this ability." Zhao Jin raised his eyelids and smiled slightly, "From now on, you two will be responsible for all these things."
"As for the palace, it will be left to the two of you to be jointly responsible for. As for how to deal with it, you can just discuss it yourself."
"Then, in terms of personnel, there will inevitably be crossovers. On this point, you know better who is below. You can discuss it yourself before reporting it to the orphan."
"yes!"
After accepting the order silently, he knelt down on one knee and said, "I will live up to His Highness's trust!"
When he raised his head, Zhao Jin could clearly see the firm gaze inside.
"Don't trust people when you hire them, don't use people when you doubt them" is simple to say, but very few can do it.
Although the superiors and subordinates are both prosperous and disadvantaged, the interests involved are too complicated, and there are countless superiors who are jealous of their subordinates.
Even Zhao Qian didn't trust them that much.
The corners of Zhao Jin's mouth curled up, "Everyone, go down."
"yes!"
When the two of them stepped back and left the study, Seng Fan thought to himself: Your Highness is really a good trick. In a short period of time, Mo Shen was completely loyal to His Highness.
"Mo Shen, in that case, let's resolve this matter first."
Mo Shen nodded and looked at the gentle-looking young man in front of him, "Please."
…
After the two left, Zhao Jin frowned.
Now that this thing is in place, there is still a tough battle to be fought when implementing reforms.
There is not much problem with the official system of Zhao State, but because officials protect each other, and the so-called scientific examinations are almost limited to aristocratic families, coupled with the protection.
Behind the officials in this DPRK are all the same forces, and they are intricately connected.
And because of this, it was difficult to inject fresh blood into the entire court, and the officials selected in every scientific examination were only those from aristocratic families.
Rather than selecting officials and injecting new blood, it is better to say that it is a game between the major forces.
The corruption of Zhao State lies in the fact that the power of officials is so intertwined that they are not pragmatic.
Zhao Jin needed to liberalize scientific examinations, reorganize the examinations for officials, and inspect all the officials. He also had to solve the situation where Zhao State emphasized civility over military affairs.
In today's court, the only generals who can take charge of matters are Chen Xiao and the Qi family.
Zhao Jin had no plans and only set his sights on Zhao Guo's one-third-acre field.
After roughly sorting out his reform ideas, Zhao Jin let out a long sigh of relief and stood up.
So, let’s start with the scientific examination.
The court needs to inject more fresh blood, and more officials who do not have intricate forces behind them and can only rely on him.
Zhao Jin's current control over the court is still too weak. He can only rely on the Qi family, the prime minister and the Taifu. Although they serve the people and the country, once their interests are involved.
Whether these people will still support him is unknown.
However, if the scientific examination is to be liberalized, the interests of these people will inevitably be touched, especially the wealthy families.
Therefore, Zhao Jin must first deal with the big families.
In addition to the three princes, the Prime Minister, the Taifu and the Taiwei, the one with the highest position is undoubtedly the Six Ministers.
The Cen family where Cen Qianyi lived was the largest aristocratic family in Zhao State. At that time, you could just go to the Zhao family directly, and there was no need to go specifically to find Cen Qianyi.
And Xu Zihao...
Zhao Jin's forehead twitched. Xu Zihao was notoriously stubborn and it was not appropriate to persuade him first.
In this case, let's first look for the six ministerial books.
Except for him, the Minister of War, all the other six ministers, without exception, came from aristocratic families.
Zhao Jin thought for a while, made a decision in his heart, and walked out.
"Come on, go to Gong Mansion!"
