Chapter 356 Three-legged Standing
“Mr. Zhuge, first of all, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has the power to supervise all officials, and they can execute first and report later.”
“They reported directly to their command center, and then to me, thus controlling all officials in the land.”
Tang Yu said this without mentioning Ying Zheng at all.
However, Zhuge Liang knew that reporting to Tang Yu was the same as reporting to Ying Zheng.
Sometimes, reporting to Tang Yu was even more useful than reporting to Ying Zheng, so he naturally nodded in agreement.
"But what I just said isn't impossible, so why is Mr. Tang so confident?"
"That's because there's still the secretary, the official."
"Secretary, official?"
Since Zhuge Liang's time travel, the government affairs he has handled have always been documents and other matters that require the personal processing of the Grand Tutor.
As for such basic and trivial matters, Zhuge Liang had not yet encountered them.
Moreover, the position of secretary and official was directly managed by Ying Zheng, and Tang Yu would never ask any further questions.
He was afraid that if he asked, the blame would fall on him and he would never be able to get rid of it.
“The secretaries are officials who are distinct from the regular officials in the prefecture and county system and are directly dispatched to the localities by His Majesty.”
“Every secretary or official has the overt power to supervise and manage local officials.”
"At the local level, the functions they can mobilize in emergencies and the priority of their orders."
"They were always superior to the local officials, and at the same time, they were the most loyal people to the Qin state."
Tang Yu, with a straight face, kept refreshing Zhuge Liang's worldview.
As Zhuge Liang listened to the duties of the secretaries and officials, he muttered to himself.
"Only those who are most loyal to the Qin state can be selected as secretaries and officials."
"Moreover, they must not know the original officials of the local jurisdiction."
"At the same time, he changes his post every four years; that's simply genius."
Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded again; he had always thought he was one of the most intelligent people in the world.
However, he found that in front of Tang Yu, he felt like a greenhorn.
At the same time, all matters concerning this secretary official can be reported to the emperor.
That means Tang Yu can receive a million-dollar intelligence report.
On Ying Zheng's side, they received a report worth a million.
He has been handling so many government affairs in place of Tang Yu as the Imperial Advisor.
We have never received any information related to the secretary or officials, so it seems that all this intelligence has ended up in Ying Zheng's hands.
Look at Tang Yu, he doesn't seem to care at all, and even talks about it with great ease.
But they knew that Tang Yu was also happy to do so, these two were really strange.
If a powerful minister knew that the emperor had such an institution.
And being completely disconnected from oneself can be quite frightening.
After all, as the saying goes, "When the birds attack, the rabbit hides; when the rabbit dies, the dog is cooked."
But Tang Yu wasn't worried at all, which was truly enviable.
However, at this time, Zhuge Liang was constantly sighing.
"In this way, the two intelligence reports can be compared and matched."
"Then if any official has a problem, it will be immediately apparent and known quickly."
"Indeed, at the height of his wisdom."
Looking at the sentimental Zhuge Liang, Tang Yu paused and said.
"Prime Minister, don't be so sentimental yet. Wait until later, because it's not over yet."
"Isn't it over yet?"
Zhuge Liang was stunned; he never expected that the Qin state had so many hidden tricks up its sleeve.
Once Tang Yu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely chuckle.
"Sorry, buddy, I've always believed in being prepared."
"A backup phone for your everyday phone, and a backup phone for your backup phone."
"A backup phone, a backup phone, a backup phone—this was Tang Yu's strategy in his previous life, and this time is no exception."
"As for the third one, it was created by Brother Zheng before."
"Every member of the Black Ice Guard, the secret service organization, is an elite of the Qin Kingdom. Only the most outstanding Iron Eagle Swordsmen can join it."
"Their combat strength is even greater, with one person capable of taking on a hundred. They now possess secretaries and officials, as well as intelligence from the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
"In addition, the roads in Qin State are now much more complete than before."
"So they can also start to spread out across the country, leaving manpower in every place to be stationed."
"He would monitor the secretaries, officials, and the actions of the Embroidered Uniform Guards."
“If there is anything unusual, he can report it directly to me and Brother Zheng.”
Good heavens, this is truly good heavens! Zhuge Liang gasped in astonishment.
He originally thought that the secretaries, officials, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were already a very powerful backup plan.
Unexpectedly, this black ice platform was even more outrageous; two people monitoring each other weren't enough.
"We'll also give them a third person who can monitor them," Tang Yu said this time.
"As for the fourth one, it is the secret agent monitoring this Black Ice Platform, as well as the other two."
“Those are the local officials who are actually in the public eye, and they also have the power to report and expose wrongdoing.”
"If this Black Ice Guard spy, or any of the other two, has a problem."
"He can also report this to his superiors, and Zheng Ge and I will handle it."
Zhuge Liang was completely stunned. He looked at Tang Yu in front of him as if he were a monster.
He simply couldn't believe it. How could anyone come up with such an outrageous way of handling things?
However, he also knew that since things had come to this,
So, throughout the entire Qin Dynasty, it was about every official and every local official's every move.
In front of Tang Yu, they all became completely transparent.
It was simply terrifying. While Zhuge Liang was marveling at it, Tang Yu merely sighed.
"Alas, the cement roads in my Qin Kingdom are still not finished, and the communication equipment and such have not been fully improved."
Otherwise, once the number of these people increases...
If there is even the slightest disturbance in the entire Qin state, it can be discovered instantly.
Seeing Tang Yu still dissatisfied at Versailles, Zhuge Liang remained silent, unable to utter a single word.
Finally, he looked at the book in his hand, a detailed record of an official's activities over a month, and said to Tang Yu.
"Now that we have confirmed Mr. Tang's information, there are no problems."
"Then I'll take care of the rest."
"I urge you, Grand Preceptor, not to forget the promise you made to me."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu looked at the former Zhuge Liang with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).
In his previous life, Zhuge Liang devoted himself to the common people until his death.
He may have died for the Han dynasty, but in reality, he died for the peace and stability of the people.
In this life, however, he resolutely chose to repeat the same mistakes.
I don't know whether to call it foolish or to say he'll persist.
After Tang Yu left, Zhuge Liang felt the youth and health of his body in this life.
Looking at the eye-protection lamp that Tang Yu had placed to the side, he took a sip of the hot tea next to him.
He began to skillfully flip through the records of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, looking at the recent events of each official.
