This matter is very easy to understand, because the Jin Yiwei was left by Zhu Yuanzhang to Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, so naturally he was not of the same mind as Zhu Di, who was in charge of rebellion.
With the Jin Yiwei at his side, even if he showed his surrender in front of others, Emperor Yongle could not sleep well, and Zhu Di would naturally have trouble sleeping and eating.
So Emperor Yongle established Dongchang to suppress and monitor the Jinyi Guards.
Moreover, when Emperor Yongle entered Nanjing, the eunuchs in the palace did help a lot, so Zhu Di gave the eunuchs full responsibility for the newly established organization.
Because this organization operates at Dong'anmen in the Forbidden City.
So it was named Dongjishi Factory.
It's called Dongchang for short.
Since the establishment of Dongchang, he has suppressed Jinyiwei and become a higher-ranking person in the Ming Dynasty's secret service, until the emergence of Xichang.
Although Xichang is famous, it has only been around for a short time.
The Ming Xichang only flourished for a few years during the reign of Emperor Chenghua. Later, due to the strong backlash from officials, it was quickly abolished.
Several people stood in front of the east factory gate.
As a breeze blew by, Shen Lie let out a low cry: "Let's go!"
Although Tian Hong and several of his subordinate flag officers felt a little guilty, they could only bite the bullet and follow Shen Lie, the imperial envoy.
When Shen Lie walked quickly into the hospital.
Several Dongchang hundreds of stall owners had obviously received the emperor's order and had been waiting in the Yamen for a long time. When a group of people saw Shen Lie, they hurriedly came up to greet him.
Salute respectfully.
"Welcome Master Shen!"
"Master Shen is here!"
After a while of excitement.
Soon everyone in the East Factory saw Tian Hong and others following closely behind Shen Lie. Looking at the bright red brocade clothes on Tian Hong's body, everyone in the East Factory couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
As everyone in the East Factory's eyes flashed with light, Tian Hong and others also became a little nervous, and the atmosphere became solemn in an instant.
When Dongchang met Jin Yiwei, the scene was reasonable.
"cough."
Shen Lie coughed lightly, waved his hand casually, and whispered: "One of my own."
Then he strode into the spacious main hall.
Tian Hong and others quickly followed closely.
In the yard.
A group of people from Dongchang looked at me and I looked at you, and they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts. Do we, Master Shen, have such a good relationship with the people from Jinyiwei?
Strange!
Tian Hong was actually shocked. He couldn't believe his eyes. He never expected that this brother Shen Xian had such prestige in the East Factory.
This is really amazing.
Following this wise brother closely, Tian Hong's eyelids jumped.
As Shen Lie stopped in front of a statue of Master Guan in the hall of Dongchang Yamen, Tian Hong and others also stopped.
Looking up at the statue of Mr. Guan, the corners of Shen Lie's mouth twitched slightly. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the days when he was filming in Hengdian.
The East Factory is running rampant, the factory boss is powerful, the officials are reviled, and all kinds of frame-ups, extortion, and false accusations are made, making the people's lives miserable.
No.
It's probably because officials don't have time to make a living.
He suppressed the ups and downs in his heart.
Shen Lie took out the imperial edict from his arms with a solemn expression, held it in his hand, and said in a low voice with a majestic voice: "Shen is now ordered to exterminate locusts... What do you think?"
In an instant.
More than a dozen households in Dongchang knelt on the ground at the stalls and said in unison: "We obey the order, thank you, and are willing to obey Master Shen's orders!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Shen Lie then placed the imperial edict in front of Mr. Guan, sat down on the chair carelessly, and began to dispatch people to collect poultry everywhere in the capital.
Where are the most poultry?
All major restaurants, restaurants, inns...
And in the palace.
Afternoon.
Forbidden City.
Imperial Room.
A pot-bellied imperial chef walked out of the imperial kitchen, waving the kitchen knife in his hand to drive away a few blind locusts.
Looking at the locusts covering the potted plants in the corner, the chef sighed helplessly, and then quickly walked towards a moon door.
Passing through the Moon Gate is a large courtyard with rows of chicken coops and duck coops, where thousands of chickens and ducks are raised!
The imperial chef first took a basket of eggs, then walked around the chicken coop with his arms crossed, and soon selected a little rooster.
I just opened the chicken coop door and reached out to grab it.
At this time, there was a loud shout from behind.
"do not move!"
This loud shout made the chef tremble in fright, he quickly stopped his hand, turned around, and saw a murderous Dongchang stall owner rushing in with a group of gangsters.
Look at this group of fierce Dongchang people.
The chef is numb.
A shiver.
The fat imperial chef broke into a cold sweat. He went through all the mistakes he had made in his life in his mind, and then hurriedly greeted him with an apologetic smile.
"What do you guys mean by this..."
But the words are not finished yet.
A Dongchang stall owner pushed him aside impatiently, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed toward the chicken coop with a group of fans.
There was great chaos in the chicken coop.
Not a cup of tea.
The imperial chef stared dumbfounded at the tough Dongchang men, and hurriedly lifted up the entire chicken coop and duck cage weighing several hundred kilograms and moved it away...
Just moved away.
Finally, a group of geese were also driven away.
At this time, a breeze blew by. Fat Royal Chef looked at the empty yard and couldn't help but touch his head, alone and messy in the wind.
"Treacherous traitor!"
The corners of Fat Yuchu's mouth trembled slightly in anger, and he cursed in his heart: "This group of things that are inferior to pigs and dogs are not even willing to let go of poultry."
Shaked his head.
The fat imperial chef walked towards the palace angrily. He wanted to complain to the eunuch who was in charge of the imperial kitchen.
After another moment.
Inner Court Ceremony Supervisor.
Feng Baozheng, the chief steward of the inner court, frowned, looking through the piles of memorials handed over by the cabinet, and then handed them to his confidant eunuch.
The young eunuch then used one of the twenty-four square jade seals to cover each type of memorial according to different types, and then sent it to all prefectures and counties by horse.
Disaster emergency.
Feng Bao had not slept for almost twelve hours.
The locust swarms have been staying in the Gyeonggi area for almost twelve hours, and there are still no signs of leaving. The cabinet has done its best and strictly ordered all governments and counties to organize manpower to cull the locusts.
But the situation is still not optimistic.
Chaos gradually emerged in various places. A few years ago, when the rains were favorable, the White Lotus Sect, the Maitreya Sect, the Hui Islam Sect were all gone...
Various crooks finally seized the opportunity and began to take advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble. Some unscrupulous grain merchants were also ready to take action and began to collude with corrupt officials to drive up grain prices.
Some people with bad intentions began to spread the fallacy of locusts and emperors on the streets.
how so?
Feng Bao's seemingly dim eyes flashed with a cold light, it was not just profiteers, corrupt officials, and magicians who were taking advantage of the opportunity to cause mischief.
Here...
Naturally, there are a large number of gentry and gentry whose interests have been harmed by the new policies implemented by the imperial court in recent years. They take the opportunity to instigate dissatisfaction among the people, stir up people's hearts, and want to create some big trouble.
As a veteran of three dynasties, Feng Bao naturally understood the truth.
At this moment, he was extremely anxious, as if he saw a big storm taking place, and as the locust plague intensified, a turmoil was inevitable.
Natural disasters are never terrible, only man-made disasters are terrible.
At this moment.
The eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen hurried into the hall, saluted Feng Bao, and then muttered angrily.
"Ancestor, please take care of it. Those people in Dongchang are really bullying others!"
