Looking at the ugly face of the emperor sitting at the head of the conference table, several ministers in charge of intelligence work were very cautious. They had just learned what happened and were now in the stage of passing the blame.
Naturally, they cannot take this kind of thing on themselves. Based on the principle that a dead Taoist friend should not die a poor Taoist, then it must be an excuse that has nothing to do with them.
A minister directly spread his hands and showed the most innocent expression: "Why do they want to pin such a thing on our heads, just on our heads? This kind of thing must have nothing to do with us!"
Anyway, he really has never given such an order, and such things cannot be found on him anyway. If you want to say that His Majesty the Emperor is incompetent in thoroughly investigating corruption and bribery, then he may still be nervous and nervous, investigating this
He dared to be confident about this kind of thing.
Another minister sitting next to him also had a face full of indignation. He would not have the courage to issue such an order: "Yes, why do we doubt this kind of thing? Don't they know how much we are capable of?"
The few people we sent last time were arrested by them just after entering the country?"
In fact, Yang Mu I, who was sitting at the top of the list, knew very well that no one under his command would be willing to do this kind of assassination of an enemy head of state. Without his knowledge, who would be able to go there with enough to eat?
Doing such a thankless thing?
If it succeeds, the leader Yang Mu I will benefit. If it fails, the person who carried out the task will take the blame? Although he dreams of having such subordinates, Yang Mu I is still a little self-aware: he may not have many such people under his subordinates.
.
"Those damn bastards, aren't they blackmailing us?" The third minister was furious. He felt that none of the people in front of him had the courage to assassinate the Emperor of Tang.
"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!" The fourth minister looked old and angry, pinching his beard.
Having said this, the minister who was the first to speak continued to doubt: "Maybe they just want to blackmail... Besides, if they really blame us for this matter, what can we do?"
manage?"
The second minister complained unhappily: "To be honest, they said there was an assassination and there was an assassination? Maybe the whole thing is fake, and maybe it was all caused by them."
His words immediately made everyone nod in agreement: "That's right. There is no evidence, so they come to us to prosecute them. What explanation can we give them?"
The third minister also excitedly shifted all the responsibility to the Tang Empire: "That's right! Maybe it's the Tang people's own conspiracy to sow discord between us and our allies!"
"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!" The fourth minister was still squeezing his beard, looking like he was dim-sighted, and nodded in agreement.
Yang Mu I interrupted the nonsense of these ministers with dissatisfaction: "That's enough! The other side actually caught your handle, so they sent this matter to us to ask for an explanation! Otherwise, do you think that they would be here?
Is this the right time to talk about this?"
If these people continue to talk like this, maybe they can talk about it until tomorrow morning! So Yang Mu I still gave a general direction to prevent them from continuing to talk about it like this: "Also, this matter is
If it's not true, there's no need to doubt it. So far, there has been no case of using fake events to blackmail them. This kind of credibility is still there. Since they say they really caught a group of people, they must have caught them.
A group of people."
On this kind of issue, the reputation of the Datang Empire is still very good. If the evidence is not really obtained, the Datang Empire will generally not send people to find Fang Xingshi to question him.
Because no matter it was a strong war period or a friendly peace period, the Tang Empire generally did not make any extra moves and followed the normal path.
It is precisely because the Tang Empire is so well-known that once a problem occurs, no one will question the Tang Empire's unreasonable troubles: because if they are really unreasonable, they will not wait until now. They have taken advantage of it and have to use it long ago.
used.
"Now think about it carefully, have you arranged some people in the Tang Empire, the kind who can act!" Therefore, Yang Mu I decided to find problems with his men.
Compared with the Tang Empire's false accusation against the Yangmu Empire, it is more likely that the Yangmu Empire exposed its own lies.
The minister in charge of intelligence collection immediately excused himself: "Your Majesty, we are an intelligence department. We are usually only responsible for collecting intelligence and spying on military affairs. As you know, the informants and lurking personnel we bribed cannot have the courage to do this.
matter……"
"Moreover, I haven't been able to get any decent information recently. The entire system has been severely damaged... Just those guys, the assassination of the Emperor of Tang was definitely not done by people from our department." He almost said that.
My son shed tears.
In order to prove his innocence, he just said that his subordinates are all a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. But everyone also knows that their intelligence collection department does have this virtue.
Most of the time, this department is basically a victim of being defrauded of funds by various gods: local gangsters, any small public servant, the enemy intelligence agency who actively contacts them for fishing... can receive a large amount of "
Special Intelligence Award”.
To put it bluntly, they are responsible for spreading money. They get some real and fake news that has no legitimate origin and cannot tell the truth from the fake, and report it to their superiors.
Tang Mo might not even believe that someone in such a department suddenly changed his style and made such a shocking move.
Upon hearing that the minister of the intelligence collection department had distanced himself, the minister of the operations department also hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, although we are an operations team, you also know that the progress on the Western Continent is not smooth on weekdays. In the past
Nine out of ten are out of touch. The core is composed of elves and it is difficult to move, and there are not many humans who can be bribed on the outside."
His tone became sour as he spoke: "Last year, my department's activity funds were only more than 1 million. I paid several action leaders but could not pay out bonuses. How could this be possible?
What a large-scale operation."
In the past few years, the intelligence collection department still had some activity funds, because everyone still had some information needs, but the operations department was a different story.
