There was such a person in the Ming Dynasty, his family can be called "Jinyiwei professional household", the great-grandfather was in charge of the Jinyiwei, the father was in charge of the Jinyiwei, and the grandfather was also the commander of the Jinyiwei.
Probably the people in their family were the most suitable to be spies, so in October of the third year of the Apocalypse, chongzhen arranged for him to take the first job, which was Jinyiwei.
This person was named Luo Yangsheng, a native of Ningyuan, Huguang (present-day Luo Mingsun Village, Xintian County, Hunan Province).
From the third year of the Apocalypse to the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Luo Yangsheng was considered to be smooth sailing, and he did not encounter any trouble in his career, but from chongzhen thirteen years, he began to plant his head.
The cause of the incident was that Xiong Kaiyuan, deputy of the Pedestrian Division, and Jiang Yanru, the deputy of the Pedestrian Division, impeached Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet.
Unbeknownst to these two people, Zhou Yanru was the favorite of the big boss Chongzhen, and sure enough, Chongzhen was furious and arrested the two and imprisoned them in the Jinyiwei Prison.

Xiong Kaiyuan and Jiang Xi impeached Zhou Yanru, which made Luo Yang very happy, because he had a contradiction with Zhou Yanru, and these two people can be said to have helped him out of his bad breath.
Therefore, he decided to protect the two "benevolent princes", so he casually tried the trial, and the result was out.
Chongzhen was not so foolish, and when he read the confession, he felt that there was a problem, and he was furious on the spot:
Xiong Kaiyuan's slanderous first assistant, it is clear that the contradiction is aimed at Yuan, Luo Yang is so engaged, purely perfunctory, big things into small things, this is a serious dereliction of duty, to Lao Tzu retrial, strict trial, and then report to me!
Chongzhen said this to make it clear that he wanted xiong Kaiyuan and Jiang Yuan's life.
Chongzhen was afraid that Luo Yangsheng would once again engage in favoritism and fraud, so he ordered the eunuch to go to Luo Yangsheng with a secret will and ordered him to secretly execute the two men.
Unexpectedly, this Luo Yangsheng was really a sentient and righteous person, and he must save the lives of Xiong Kaiyuan and Jiang Yuan.
So he said to Chongzhen, "Even if those two people deserve to die, they should first ask Yousi to list their guilt and inform the world, if the lingchen secretly kills, how will the world and the future generations look at Your Majesty?" The subject did not dare to obey the order, because it was harmful to His Majesty. ”
He also deliberately leaked the contents of the secret instructions to his fellow countryman Liao Guoxuan.
He knew that Liao Guoyun was a big mouth, and he would definitely make a lot of noise in the city, and at that time, the boss would not dare to execute the criminal suspect secretly.
Sure enough, Liao Guoyan told the military section the contents of the secret instruction to Cao Liangzhi.
This Cao Liangzhi was an upright man who could not tolerate sand in his eyes, and he was immediately impeached.
But what I didn't expect was that Cao Liangzhi impeached not someone else, but Luo Yangsheng: The surname Luo, you are too much to return to! Regardless of whether Your Majesty has this secret will or not, even if it does, you should not divulge it!
Therefore, in Cao Liangzhi's view, Luo Yangsheng should be executed together with Xiong Kaiyuan.
In fact, Cao Liangzhi's move is called retreating into advance, so that things will be big and difficult to clean up, and Chongzhen had to stop here and did not approve Cao Liangzhi's performance.
In this way, Xiong Kaiyuan and Jiang Xi saved their lives.
This struggle between Luo Yang and Chongzhen ended with a great victory for Luo Yang.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Luo Yangsheng became the boss of the Jinyi Guard.
However, his ass was not yet hot in the position of the boss of the Jinyi Guard, and the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru, and the second assistant Wu Yong, demanded that Chongzhen depose the Jinyi Guard from the investigation and arrest.
After Luo Yangsheng knew about it, he immediately became angry: "Detective and search is the main business of Jinyiwei, don't you want us to do this, what is it?" The next step is to disband the Jinyi Guard? ”
In this way, Zhou Yanru and Wu Yong were on the blacklist of Luo Yangsheng.
The first person he picked up was Wu Yong.
In March of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng led a peasant army and successively captured Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and Chengtian.

Wu Yong volunteered and expressed his willingness to lead 30,000 people to "suppress bandits."
The imperial court agreed, but by May, Wu Yong's 30,000 men and horses had not yet been assembled.
Chongzhen is on fire, the movement is so slow, hit a hammer staff, you give Lao Tzu a stop, first come to the Beijing Master and then say!
After Luo Yangsheng knew about this, he immediately complained about Wu Yong's black form in front of Chongzhen.
In this way, Wu Yong was sent to the westernmost Golden Tooth Guard under the jurisdiction of the Yunnan Dusi.

Wu Yong was packed up, followed by Zhou Yanru.
In April of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army invaded the Cyprus for the sixth time and also hit the vicinity of Beijing.
Zhou Yanru also volunteered to go to the front line like Wu Yong.
But this week Yanru was really a straw bag, after seeing the fierceness of the Qing army, he was frightened and hid in Tongzhou, did not dare to take another half a step forward, and then drank and had fun with his staff all day.
However, in the report he sent to Chongzhen, he said that he had won successive battles.
Chongzhen, who was deceived into being dizzy, not only praised Zhou Yanru, but also made him a Taishi.
Although Chongzhen was good at fooling, Luo Yang, who was the head of the secret service, was not so easy to fool through.
Soon, Luo Yangsheng told Chongzhen about Zhou Yanru's deception.
Chongzhen was furious and ordered Zhou Yanru to commit suicide.

On March 19, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Li Zicheng invaded the city of Beijing, Chongzhen committed suicide, and the Ming Dynasty fell.
As soon as chongzhen's big tree fell, Luo's life of nurturing sex was not good.
He was first severely beaten by Li Zicheng's peasant army and extorted 30,000 taels of silver, and then his two younger brothers were also severely beaten to death by the peasant army.
On April 23, Li Zicheng was defeated by Qing forces and withdrew from the city of Beijing.
On the second day of the first month of May, Luo Yangsheng and shen Weibing, a servant of the official department, set up the spiritual seat of the Chongzhen Emperor at the noon gate and performed a weeping ceremony.
After the ceremony, Luo Yangsheng prepared to welcome the prince outside the Chaoyang Gate, and the result was not the Ming Dynasty prince Zhu Cixi, but the Qing Dynasty regent Dolgun, and Luo Yangsheng led the crowd to qing.

In fact, in Dorgon's eyes, luo cultivation is not of much value.
But at that time, the Gyeonggi area was quite chaotic, and the "gateway to Beijing" Tianjin was also uneasy, and thieves swarmed.
Dorgon wanted to take advantage of Luo Yang's past power to stabilize the situation in Tianjin, so he ordered him to be the crown prince Taifu, the former governor of Zuodu, and the governor of Tianjin.
In this way, Luo Yangsheng, the head of the secret service from the Ming Dynasty, became the first governor of the Qing Dynasty.
After taking office, Luo Yangsheng engaged in some good governance, which really stabilized the situation in Tianjin.
However, he did not expect that the officialdom of the old dynasty was sinister and not easy to mix, and the officialdom of the new dynasty was even more sinister and even more difficult to mix.

In September of the first year of Shunzhi, luo Yangsheng's jurisdiction came with three special guests, they were negotiators sent by the Southern Ming Hongguang regime to negotiate with the Qing court, Zuo Maodi, Ma Shaoyu and Chen Hongfan.
The Qing court instructed that, in addition to the necessary reception, it was more important to strictly supervise.
However, in the process of reception, due to the lack of grasp of the good degree, Luo Yangsheng showed "too much enthusiasm" and was impeached by Song Quan, the Inspector of Shuntian.
The regent Dorgon was furious, suspecting that he was hooking up with the "mother's family" and had the intention of plotting against him, and immediately dismissed him from his post and investigated it.
Fortunately, in view of his merits in surrendering, the Qing court only removed his position as viceroy and retained the titles of Crown Prince Taifu and Zuo Du.
However, in June of the following year, Baihu An Qimao impeached Luo Yangsheng for five major crimes.
However, upon investigation by the relevant departments, An Qimao's accusation was untrue and was a false accusation.
Although there was a false alarm, Luo Yangsheng could no longer hold his breath, he had been unemployed for more than a year, he had not been appointed, and he had been falsely accused, if the above did not consider arranging a job for him, it was really impossible to say.
As a result, Luo Yang's sexuality was neglected toward Shunzhi.
But Shunzhi's answer to him was: Wait for Jian Yong - now there is really no place for you, you are waiting for a few days.
This waited for another four years, and in February of the sixth year of Shunzhi (1649), an official position called Zhejiang ZhangyinDusi (in charge of Caoyun) finally fell to him, but there was a special note that "no military power".
If there is no military power, there is no military power, as long as there is food to eat, it does not matter whether there is military power or not.
Unexpectedly, not long after obtaining the official position, Luo Yangsheng died.
Ironically, after Luo Yangsheng's death, he was included in the "Biography of the Second Minister" by the Qing Dynasty, so it is said that the wall head grass is not something that everyone can do.
