Chapter 1203: Reflection

The cold eyes swept through the heads and minds of the two violent organs of the Tang Dynasty. Even Gongsun Changming, this time, there was no longer the confident smile on his face. This time, not only did the army have problems, but also the intelligence organs have problems.

"Tell me, what do you think about this incident?" Li Ze exhaled a breath of turbid air and said.

Gongsun Changming straightened his body and glanced at everyone. Here, except for Li Ze, he had the highest qualifications and status. He must be the first to speak up for a review.

"Your Majesty, we have made a big mistake in intelligence this time." Gongsun Changming said: "This is not just the following problem, but the root cause is still the source. We do not pay enough attention to Xiang Zhen and people like Qian Shouyi and Ding Hao, so that after Xiang Zhen launched the Guangzhou mutiny, he responded slowly and failed to collect information, which made the court unable to make effective preliminary predictions about this matter."

"Why is this happening?" Li Ze asked.

"After the matter came out, I also made a deep reflection. Such problems arise mainly because of two aspects. First, it is paralyzed on the mind, thinking that the victory is in control, and lacks a full understanding of the enemy's stubbornness. Second, after the establishment of the Intelligence Committee, the intelligence agency carried out large-scale reorganization and reconstruction. The originally strict system was not established and connected after this reorganization and reconstruction, resulting in gaps in some aspects. A large number of peripheral personnel were dismissed and abandoned, which weakened our intelligence exploration capabilities. The internal censorship system made many people anxious, and some were even investigated and imprisoned because of this review. The most serious thing is that senior local officials in charge of intelligence work on the one hand actually fled for fear of crime and disappeared directly."

Hearing this, Wu Jin said in a slight manner: "Mr. Gongsun, what do you mean is that because of our supervision, these people are unable to perform their duties effectively, which leads to omissions in intelligence work?"

Gongsun Changming waved his hand: "Wu Jin, I am just explaining a phenomenon. The disappearance of Wang Yikun, who is in charge of Lingnan intelligence, directly led to the sluggish operation of the entire Lingnan direction intelligence system. We are still adjusting, and this happened. The intelligence system is originally a gray area wandering in the black and white. Supervision cannot treat them as ordinary officials to supervise, and they should be given a certain amount of space."

Wu Jin was furious: "Then let's talk about Wang Yikun, a senior general of the Tang Dynasty's inner guard, responsible for the intelligence operations of one side, but this person's corruption has reached a shocking point. He used the privileges given to him by the Intelligence Committee. Now our investigation of him has only revealed the tip of the iceberg. But these have been found to be shocking. This person has secretly made a fortune of one million, and at least eleven spy detectives were killed and silenced because of his illegal behavior. How much did Shen Congxing beg back then? He was brought to justice by His Majesty. Shen Congxing is like this. What is Wang Yikun? If the safety of our intelligence system is actually tied to one person, then the intelligence system itself has a big problem."

Wu Jin turned around and looked at Li Ze and said, "Your Majesty, this matter also reminds us that the supervision of the intelligence system must go further. What a person should do and what he should not do, he should have a bottom line in his heart. We have never denied that there will be some operations that exceed the conventional rules in this special business, but we still cannot cross the red line."

Li Ze pressed down with both hands, signaling Wu Jin and Gongsun Changming to calm down.

"The intelligence system does need to undergo a deeper reform." Li Ze said: "We cannot always think that regardless of black and white cats, the ones holding mice are good cats. We cannot just look at the ability to collect intelligence and engage in some special events. We must also strengthen the ideological education of these intelligence personnel. These people who are wandering in the dark are more likely to be corroded and immersed, so we must strengthen this aspect. Wang Yikun was indeed outstanding in intelligence performance in the past, but once something happened, the blow it brought to us was unparalleled."

"Your Majesty, we will put a lot of effort into this next step." Gongsun Changming said dejectedly.

"Change Xiangsheng back!" Li Ze said lightly: "The Yizhou networking has been basically completed, and Heren can support the overall situation. In addition, send someone to wherever he goes, and form two lines with Heren, one light and one dark, so there is no need to let Gao Xiangsheng stay wherever he stays."

"Change the elephant and rise back?" Gongsun Changming was stunned.

Li Ze said: "Yes, let Gao Xiangsheng come back and be responsible for the cleaning and restructuring of the external intelligence system. Tian Bo will no longer care about this in the future. His ability is not enough to control the following guys with great powers, so he will only be responsible for internal affairs in the future."

"Yes!" Gongsun Changming nodded in a depressed manner.

Tian Bo was dismissed in disguise, which was a loss for Gongsun Changming. Because Tian Bo has always been obedient to him, and when Gao Xiangsheng returns, he will inevitably have a certain restraint on Gongsun Changming. This person is a veteran in the intelligence industry and a truly cruel person. He is afraid he is not inferior to himself. He returns to the center and will inevitably compete with him in the intelligence system.

With just a few words, it was destined to launch a more powerful cleanup operation within the intelligence system, but I am afraid that the people will be in trouble again.

Seeing Li Ze's eyes turn to him, You Yong knew that it was his turn next. Although Li Ze was the chairman of the Military Commission, he was the real general affairs he was in charge of, and he had to pass this level no matter how he passed.

"Your Majesty!" You Yong swallowed and said, "The problem of the army is, as you said before, there is a problem in the real thought. Over the years, under the wise leadership of Your Majesty, we have never suffered major setbacks. As the saying goes, we are invincible and invincible. But it is precisely because of this that from top to bottom, a kind of thinking that I have the best in the world has been bred. This is why Ren Xiaonian's reckless acts, without the orders of the front army and the court, took action first and then reported, which led to the failure of the entire court's grand strategy towards the south. This is my dereliction of duty."

Li Ze sighed: "I am the first to say who is responsible for this. As General You said, our army is still brave and good at fighting, but the habit of pride has been deeply rooted in the bones of every soldier. Pride is not a bad thing, but it is a big deal to despise the opponent because of pride. But there is another more important thing, which is the cause of the Ren Xiaonian incident."

"That's why many soldiers think that our great cause of unification is about to end. The war against the south will be their last chance for rapid promotion. They still want to climb up. It is a good thing for a person to be ambitious, because with this ambitiousness, he will have the motivation to work hard. However, many people will use this motivation to be misplaced."

Li Ze sneered: "Ren Xiaonian is a typical example. This reminds us that the army, especially our generals, still did not prohibit orders and imprint them deep in their blood. They still did not understand that the army was just the fist stretched out by the court, and the fist did not move. How did it move, and when was it the fist's turn to make its own decision?"

All the big men of the military committee bowed their heads.

"Is there only Ren Xiaonian in our army who thinks about the head like this? I'm afraid there are quite a few. But these people have not encountered such opportunities as Ren Xiaonian. If there are, they are probably going to do this." Li Ze said: "Cao Zhang, Yixing Society will work hard on this next. Yixing Society has done a good job in the local work, but in the army, the strength is still not enough. From now on, you and Yixing Society have to think carefully about how to do this?"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

"The intelligence system needs to be rectified. The army also needs to conduct a comprehensive education again." Li Ze said: "If the thought is not unified and solid, such things may happen again in the future. General You, the front-line war has stabilized now, let Li Mi and Ren Xiaonian return to Beijing to report their duties!"

You Yong was shocked: "Your Majesty, although the front line has been stable, I am afraid that you will let them return to Beijing at the same time at this time..."

"It's decided!" Li Ze said: "This matter must be done."

"Li Mi and Ren Xiaonian left the Right Qianniu Guard at the same time. With the ability of Gao Wufu and Yu Xiaowen, they are afraid that they will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of reorganizing the Right Qianniu Guard and stabilizing the front line. Your Majesty, Qian Shouyi is in Ji'an, but there are still tens of thousands of troops, and the reinforcements from Lingnan and Fujian are also heading towards the border areas."

"Chen Changping, the General of the Right Guard, was transferred to the deputy general of the Right Qianniu Guard, temporarily acting as the General, and presided over the overall work." Li Zedao.

Chen Changping was the old man who followed Li Ze when he started his family. He had archery skills and had few people in the world and enjoyed a high prestige in the army. In terms of qualifications, this person went to the Right Qianniu Guard. He had no problem with his qualifications. He said that he was a temporary generation, but I am afraid that he would become a regular person in the future.

"Then how will Li Mi and Ren Xiaonian arrange the next?" You Yong asked.

The tone has been set before, and Ren Xiaonian should not be punished publicly. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to making this major strategic failure public.

"Li Mi will be transferred to Jing'an Army!" Li Ze said: "The Jing'an Army has always needed to be purged. Cao Zhang, haven't you always wanted to withdraw from the Supervisory Committee?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I still want to devote myself to the work of Yixing Society." Cao Zhang nodded.
