Zhao Changqing personally helped Zhao Gao up. Zhao Gao was extremely frightened and only heard Zhao Changqing, who was now His Majesty the Emperor, say:

"From now on, you don't need to call yourself a slave. I give you the privilege of calling yourself a humble minister in front of me."

When Zhao Gao heard this, he was very excited. Seeing that he was about to kneel down with tears of gratitude, Zhao Changqing waved his hand to him and said, "Go down and integrate the factory guards. I've left it to you. What to do is up to you."

"

Zhao Changqing has very limited knowledge of the depiction of Zhao Gao in history. He only knows that he is a treacherous official.

Since he is a treacherous official, he will definitely spread the name of factory guards who do all kinds of evil smoothly, causing people to panic.

After Zhao Gao heard the sound, he bowed and slowly retreated. He pressed his body very low and did not dare to raise his head until he exited the palace gate.

After seeing Zhao Gao leave, Zhao Changqing personally wrote an imperial edict and asked the eunuch to deliver it to the central government.

After Zhao Gao returned to his residence, he immediately called Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian to discuss the matter together.

"You two should understand now, right? Your Majesty has given us trust in us by asking us to set up factory guards. We must do this job well, otherwise we will die!" Zhao Gao said with his hands high in the air, cupping his fists.

Liu Jin thought carefully, thought for a while, and said: "But this is a hard job! Establishing factory guards, supervising all officials, and giving us the right to kill first and report later, doesn't this clearly push us to the opposite side of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?"

If one day His Majesty doesn't trust me anymore, I'm afraid what awaits me will be a disaster, this offending job..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Gao slapped Liu Jin on the face with a sullen face.

After the slap, Zhao Gao immediately said: "How can our family not understand these things? But who are we? We are eunuchs! What are eunuchs? They are His Majesty's ministers!

Who gave you the courage to discuss His Majesty's decisions behind your back? As ministers, what we need is obedience! Obey all His Majesty's orders and be the sharpest knife and sharpest eyes in His Majesty's hand.

From now on, if our family hears any of you talking about His Majesty behind your back, we will definitely kill you!"

Liu Jin was startled and hurriedly knelt down.

Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to express his position, "Master Zhao, I will definitely do this job well for Your Majesty."

"Yeah." Zhao Gao made a long sound, expressing his satisfaction.

He helped Liu Jin up and said: "From now on, please remember to our family that we are His Majesty's people in life and His Majesty's ghosts in death. If you dare to have second thoughts, our family will be the first to kill you."

Liu Jin quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes" and said that she would definitely repent.

Zhao Gao nodded and said: "Although His Majesty did not give us a time limit for when we will complete the construction of the factory guard. But this matter must be done sooner rather than later.

Moreover, His Majesty also said that to wait for our good news, let us handle a few major cases first to shock the officials. Therefore, after the factory guards are completed in the past two days, you will find a few people from the court at all costs.

Evidence of corruption by ministers will be investigated strictly."

Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian immediately bowed.

If Zhao Changqing heard what Zhao Gao said at this time, he would definitely suffer from high blood pressure and hypoglycemia...

In the end, Zhao Gao still didn't understand what Zhao Changqing meant!

Why should corrupt officials be punished? What are corrupt officials? They are the "backbone" of the country. Can corrupt officials be punished?

Shouldn't the real factory guards form cliques for personal gain? Shouldn't they collude with friends and friends? Shouldn't they frame Zhongliang?

His Majesty placed great emphasis on eunuchs, and the news that he planned to build factory guards was immediately known to the six ministers.

Within Zhongshu Province.

Six ministers gathered here to discuss this matter.

"Everyone, let's talk about your opinions. Why does Your Majesty put eunuchs in such important positions?" Xu Ming, Minister of War, took the lead to get straight to the point.

Huang Cheng, the Minister of Rites, said: "No matter what your thoughts and intentions are, the new dynasty has just established and placed such great emphasis on eunuchs. It will have an impact on the country and the country."

Jiang Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said: "According to my opinion, your Majesty's move is actually to shock the mountain and scare the tiger. It is intended to scare us. From now on, with the control of the factory guards, it will be difficult to do anything we want to do."

Ma Cang, the Minister of Punishment, snorted coldly and said: "In the final analysis, Your Majesty still doesn't trust us. If he trusted us, he wouldn't have sent Zhuge Liang to monitor us over the accumulated memorials in the past few days, and now he still has done something like this.

What kind of factory guard!

According to me, what can those eunuchs accomplish? As long as we can stabilize ourselves, we will still rule the court in a few years."

Chen Yan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, sneered and said: "Master Ma, you think things are too simple. In my opinion, our Majesty is even wiser than the late emperor!

Our ability to remain immovable in the court back then was largely due to the kindness of Emperor Renzong and the deep-rooted power among the factions.

But today is different from the past. In order to check and balance us, His Majesty has begun to use eunuchs more heavily. He will kill first and report later. With the permission of the imperial power, from now on, this factory guard will be a knife hanging on our necks!

What are eunuchs? Eunuchs are a group of lonely people. If they want to take action against us, they have no worries among the gang members! "

Huang Cheng frowned and said, "Isn't what Master Chen said a bit too alarmist?"

"Alarmist?" Chen Yan heard the voice and said: "I am definitely not alarmist at this point! Just wait and see after the factory guards are established!

When Emperor Renzong was in power, his eyes were only in the palace, but now that the factory guards have been established, our majesty’s eyes will be able to know what is happening all over the country at any time!

When that time comes, who among you sitting here can withstand His Majesty’s eyes? Wish yourselves good luck, everyone!”

Zeng Lin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, gritted his teeth, frowned tightly, and said fiercely: "Then we will nip the factory guard organization in the bud. The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the prefects of all counties are on their way to pilgrimage. The political situation in various places

All require stability.

Therefore, now is the time when His Majesty is employing people, and he needs us to help him stabilize the turbulent situation across the country. If we take this opportunity to unite and advise His Majesty not to set up factory guards, there is a 70% chance of success!

Just use the excuse of eunuchs disrupting the government! Everyone, once Your Majesty successfully establishes factory guards, we will not have a good life! And this opportunity now is our only opportunity to bargain with Your Majesty.

Once the various places are stabilized, there will be no place for us to play our part. At that time, we will be just pigs and sheep on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others!"

After hearing this, everyone was silent in unison. After a while, Jiang Wei raised his head and said: "What Mr. Zeng said is true. At present, we should put aside our prejudices against each other and unite as one. In the morning tomorrow,

I advise Your Majesty not to reuse eunuchs."

They all agreed, and each of them spoke righteously and sternly.

"That's right! You can't let eunuchs disrupt the government, otherwise the country will not be able to survive!"

"The heavy use of eunuchs contradicts the etiquette and violates the ancestral system. I will report to heaven early tomorrow morning and ask your majesty to take back the fame!"

"That's right. There are hundreds of supervisory officials, as well as the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice, and other organizations. Why do we need to set up an extra factory? How can it be a waste of time and effort for national affairs?"

"..."

Scholars like them always like to put themselves above righteousness.

Outside Beijing.

Beside the small bridge and flowing water.

Zhuge Liang was sitting on the ground, wearing a straw hat and cloth, and was fishing leisurely with his family.

After a while, Xiao Yuming came.

After a while, Cao Shen also came.

They all came because of Zhao Changqing's plan to build the East Factory.

After they explained the cause and effect to Zhuge Liang, who knew that he just took it indifferently and laughed it off.

Cao Shen was puzzled and asked: "Prime Minister, why are you still laughing at this time? Your Majesty's use of eunuchs is an ominous sign!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said calmly: "What Mr. Cao said is wrong. Your Majesty wants to build the East Factory. Its purpose is already very clear. That is to monitor the officials and use the factory guard organization to better contain the civil and military officials."

official.

As for why eunuchs were used, it was because the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty looked down upon eunuchs, and the eunuchs themselves could only be left alone. Only in this way could the factory guards be promoted."

When he finished speaking, a big fish happened to be hooked. Zhuge Liang quickly waved the fishing rod, placed the big fish in the cage, and then said with a smile: "You two can rest assured, our Emperor is wise in his heart.

The construction of factory guards was also to better contain the vassal towns in various places. During the Battle of Chang'an, the armies of various local towns all tended to be self-respecting mercenaries. The factory guards were responsible for supervising the officials and had the right to kill first and report later. From then on, all local towns

How could he still have a disobedient heart?

In this way, by strengthening imperial power and governing, the Wei Dynasty can be revived in the shortest possible time."

Cao and Xiao Yuming looked at each other in amazement, and they all said the same thing: "So there are so many things hidden behind the establishment of factory guards? Your Majesty really has a far-sighted vision, which is beyond the reach of others."
