Chapter two hundred and twentieth: Minister Jia Xu has a tricky plan
To be honest, since the establishment of the factory guard, the role of the officials has been very small.
Not only that, the Factory Guard organization has made everyone in the entire court feel in danger. The guards in the Factory Guard are more arrogant and domineering in the capital than some generals who have had many military exploits.
If this continues, there will be chaos in the capital.
However, the Factory Guard organization was founded by His Majesty. Therefore, even if we take advantage of this opportunity to persuade His Majesty to abolish the Factory Guard, the probability of success is still very slim.
It would be better to do the next best thing and ask His Majesty for the right to reduce factory guards.
However, we still have to see what the purpose of His Majesty's words is.
After all, the power of God is unpredictable!
After Zhao Gao heard the emperor's words, he felt terrified and shuddered.
He quickly knelt down on the ground and defended himself: "Your Majesty, I have been working diligently since I became the supervisor of the factory guard. At present, all the officials in the capital who have been searched are found to be guilty. I have never missed a single person. How can I be in the capital?"
Are you saying this so arrogantly? I beg your Majesty to understand clearly!"
When Zhao Changqing heard this, his teeth itched with anger.
The purpose of setting up the factory guard in the first place was to let him handle wrongful and unjust cases at the airport, but luckily for him, he actually investigated corrupt officials!
But I couldn't express my thoughts to him clearly, which was really a dilemma.
In addition, Zhao Changqing asked him to search six ministerial books. How long has it been since?
It’s just that one official minister was wiped out!
It was only because of my strong request that the factory guards destroyed it.
The work efficiency is too poor. If we just rely on the factory guards to achieve stupidity, we will probably have to wait until the end of the Year of the Monkey.
I hope the emergence of the Jinyiwei organization can improve some of this situation!
"Okay, let's get up. I don't mean to blame you today, but I don't worry about the court's intelligence organization, even if your factory guard family is the only one.
I have ordered my confidant Jia Xu to prepare a new intelligence spy organization recently, called Jinyiwei, which will be able to perform the duties of the Criminal Department and engage in activities such as tracing, arresting, interrogating, etc. I wonder what your opinions are?" Zhao Changqing looked at it.
To everyone.
Zhao Gao stood up tremblingly. After hearing His Majesty's words, he felt very palpitated.
Could it be that His Majesty is afraid that one day Dongchang will have too much power and will be unable to control it?
So, you came up with a method of Jin Yiwei to contain the factory guards?
Very possible!
Anyway, I can't make any remarks on this matter, otherwise, if His Majesty becomes suspicious, I will die without a burial place!
Alas, so is Your Majesty. Do eunuchs like me have any other choice besides being loyal to Your Majesty?
Everyone looked at each other, thinking about this matter in their minds.
Is establishing an intelligence agency a good or bad thing for Wei?
No one can explain this for a while.
However, it seems now that the establishment of the Jinyiwei organization can indeed play a role in monitoring factory guards. When the time comes, the two organizations will restrain each other, which will be better than a dominant one.
Zhao Changqing saw that everyone was silent, so he acted arbitrarily, "Since you all have no objections, let's just do this.
Zhuge Liang, please tell me about the recent political events."
Zhuge Liang nodded, cupped his fists and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, most of the recent political affairs are actually related to your Majesty's horse travel. The minister has written a summary memorial and put it in front of the case. Your Majesty can read it. In addition,
, there is another important matter that I cannot pay attention to at the moment."
Zhao Changqing asked curiously: "Oh? Is there anything else that Zhuge Liang is not sure about paying attention to? Tell me."
Zhuge Liang said: "The Jin envoy has been in Beijing for some time. They want to use 15 million taels and Princess Jinyang each in exchange for several border towns that General Chen Qingzhi has captured.
I wanted to raise the price and blackmail them severely, but they claimed that that was the most they could give. If we want more, we have to wait until the three emperors meet to make an alliance, and your Majesty will
Discuss with Emperor Jin personally."
Zhao Changqing sneered a few times when he heard this, and said: "You want to make us compromise with just fifteen million taels of silver? Moreover, I heard that Princess Jinyang is a sick child. Even if she grew up in a beautiful and fragrant country, she will not be able to make us compromise."
Wanting to obtain the six frontier passes of Jin State with only fifteen million taels of silver? It would be too much of a dream!"
Zhuge Liang agreed very much with these words and said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. The Jin State is fully capable of offering more money, but why did it stop at fifteen million taels of silver? Wei Chen suspected that they just wanted to take advantage of it.
These trivial conditions are holding us back so that His Majesty can join this so-called Three Emperors Alliance."
It can be said that he got to the point. Zhao Changqing was also very confused about this and asked: "What do you think the Jin State is planning? Why insists on holding this alliance of three emperors? If it is me and Emperor Chu and Emperor Jin
It's as simple as talking to each other, so it would be a waste of time."
Zhuge Liang pondered for a while and began to speak at length, saying: "Wei Chen's guess is related to the current situation in the world.
To the east, the Song State surrendered to the Tang State and paid tribute to the Tang State, which made the Tang people prosperous. In addition, there had been no wars in recent years, and the national power had become stronger. If nothing else, the Tang State had already intended to declare war on the Jin State, because the Tang State
If you want to attack Wei and Chu, you must first pass through the land of Jin.
But the Jin Emperor had always been suspicious. How could he let the Tang army run rampant in his own territory? In fact, there was a very important reason for Jin's massive attack on Wei and Chu this time.
They did not dare to take the initiative to declare war on the Tang State, which dominated the world by force, but in order to appease the disputes among various domestic parties, the Jin Emperor had no choice but to launch a war. Since he could not declare war on the Tang State, he had to find a weak country to start a war.
Therefore, they focused on us and Chu State. However, Emperor Jin never expected that his idea and purpose of invading Wei State's territory to alleviate domestic political conflicts failed. Not only that, he was repeatedly defeated by our country.
This was something the Emperor of Jin did not expect. Wei Chen speculated that at this moment, the internal conflicts in the Jin State and the pressure from the Tang State had become increasingly intense. In desperation, the Emperor of Jin came up with the idea of an alliance between the three emperors, hoping to unite the people.
Lian Heng, thereby tying the interests of the three countries together.
In this way, facing the oppression of Tang State again, for our three countries, the relationship will be one of mutual prosperity and loss."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that the Jin Kingdom had such a plan.
Zhao Changqing couldn't help but nodded to Zhuge Liang to show his praise. Sure enough, keeping Wolong by his side was very useful.
He asked: "According to what you said, Jin is really ambitious. So I ask you, is there a way to solve it?"
Zhuge Liang frowned when he heard this and said: "There is a strategy, but this approach can only keep us out of the matter, but it will not allow us to earn enough benefits.
That is to say, we don’t talk about alliances, only about exchanges. If one day, the Tang State invades the Jin State, we can send troops to the Jin State and say that we will fight against the Tang State together. But as long as our army reaches the land of the Jin State, the Jin State will not be able to do anything to us.
At that time, whether we return the land of Jin State will all depend on ourselves. After all, we have paid a price to help Jin State overcome the difficulties. In this way, we can block the mouth of the world. However, this is also the establishment of
A plan based on the assumption that we can help Jin defeat Tang."
After the words fell, everyone nodded frequently after hearing the sound.
But Zhao Changqing was a little unhappy.
Since you don't have enough benefits, why should you join this so-called Three Emperors Alliance? Isn't this a waste of time?
But at this time, a voice came from outside the palace, which surprised Zhao Changqing, "Your Majesty, your subordinate Jia Xu has a deadly plan that will allow the Wei State to gradually annex most of the Jin State's territory within five years.
Moreover, it can even divide the world equally with the Tang State, causing complete chaos in the world!
