In the history of the world, spies, as one of the most powerful political means of national war diplomacy, exert great power, and in "Latent", underground workers bring us enough shock and impact power.
Then in ancient China, there were also various agents who carried out activities to seek benefits for the organization or country to which they were loyal, of course, they were neither called spies nor spies, usually called xiaozuo.
As early as the Three Kingdoms period, there were detailed works, and the people of the three countries used the details to provide information for their own use, but there were still some forces that did not hesitate to directly murder others for the sake of profit cake. If you want to talk about the most famous spy who infiltrated the enemy's interior, it is the mink cicada, who was introduced into the palace by Situ Wang Yun, provoked Dong Zhuo Lübu to fight infighting, and finally the plan was successfully implemented.
In the Three Kingdoms, the secret agent is also called "school affairs", if you have seen "Sima Yi of the Great Army Division", you will know that in the TV Jun, there is a samurai named Kibu, who was born in the school office, and his identity is a secret agent.
In addition to monitoring enemy countries, school affairs have the function of supervising public opinion and secretly investigating socio-political and cultural activities in their own countries. They were able to supervise whistleblower officials, a bit like the imperial history of the Song Dynasty.
A particularly important power of the school is that if they believe that a person is guilty, then they can directly punish and sentence those they believe are guilty.
During the Three Kingdoms period, both Cao Cao and Sun Quan set up school affairs to supervise the people under their command, which caused panic among everyone. During sun quan's reign, he reused the school secretary Lü Yi and secretly supervised the chancellor. At that time, the left general of Eastern Wu, Zhu Zhi, said that he was corrupt and seeking personal gain, and Lü Yi did not examine him much, and only relied on one side of the word to send him to prison.
However, Lü Yi was also a person who only allowed the governor to set fires and did not allow the people to light lamps, and his servants were arrested by the general Zheng Yi for violating the law, and Lü Yi went directly to Sun Quan to say bad things about Zheng Yin, and Zheng Yi was imprisoned.
Later, many ministers began to be dissatisfied with Lü Yi's actions, and they wrote to impeach Lü Yi, and even the crown prince Sun Deng also wrote a book to count Lü Yi's crimes, and Sun Quan saw that everyone was dissatisfied, so he had to kill Lü Yi to calm his anger. The school system was abolished.
At that time, Cao Cao made a promise to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which caused the dissatisfaction of many ministers in the court, so Cao Cao set up a school, went to the people, and secretly investigated those who were dissatisfied with Cao Cao, and once found, they found a crime and put him in prison. For example, Kong Rong Yang Xiu, these people, their words and deeds were reported to Cao Cao by the school, and they were convicted.
Yin Fan was a spy of the Cao Wei regime, and in the late Three Kingdoms period, he was sent to Eastern Wu as a spy by cao Rui, the monarch of the Wei state at that time, and Sun Quan used this person to "surrender to the great righteousness" and made him a court lieutenant. Yin Fan used this time to explore a lot of information to provide to the State of Wei.
However, the good times did not last long, in October of the third year of Huanglong (231), Sun Quan's forces tricked Sun Bu into surrendering to the Cao Wei general Wang Ling, and the State of Wei was deceived in an attempt to take over Sun Bu, seeing that the situation in the State of Wei was in crisis, and The hidden and desperate dispatchers reported false news in the past, but the mysterious behavior of Yin Bo led to his arrest, and finally Sun Quan found out his identity and killed in Eastern Wu.
So spying is still a very dangerous profession, what do you think, friends?
