In the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di, who was dressed in a warrior robe, was doing a set of Tai Chi. Every move he made was extremely slow, but he also had the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai. Every punch and kick carried a faint sound of wind and thunder. It leaves onlookers breathless.
After finishing a set of boxing, Zhu Di's head was filled with white steam, and his face became rosy. Zhu Zhanji hurriedly handed over the towel and said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang has incredible skills."
"Don't flatter me," Zhu Di took the towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed, "I'm old and can no longer show off my skills."
"You are not old," Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "You can take care of me with one hand."
"Of course." Zhu Di said with a smile on his face: "If you want to compete with me, you are still young."
"That's that." Zhu Zhanji responded with a smile and accompanied Zhu Di into the main hall.
"What's the matter with you?" Zhu Di put on a dry brocade robe under Li Yan's service, and glanced at Zhu Zhanji, who was beside him with a twinkling look. "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, let it go."
"Ah?" Zhu Zhanji said with a surprised look on his face: "How did Grandpa Huang know that I had something to say?"
"As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what shit you're going to poop on." Zhu Di burst out laughing. After he finished laughing, he looked at Zhu Zhanji quietly and said, "Say it, but I may not agree."
"It's not my grandson's private matter." Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhu Di and said softly: "It's a state matter."
"Oh?" Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Zhanji with some surprise. He had long wanted Zhu Zhanji to practice state affairs, but this grandson was always very smart and perfunctory. The reason is very simple. As a grandson, as long as he does not make mistakes , just wait for the succession. Interfering rashly in government affairs will not only arouse grandfather's suspicion, but also make many mistakes in what you say and do. "When did you become interested in government affairs?"
"My grandson has been reading history books these days and has occasionally gained some insights." Zhu Zhanji said softly, "I came here to ask Grandpa Huang for advice."
"What history book are you reading?"
"Tongjian." Zhu Zhanji replied softly.
"Well," Zhu Di nodded approvingly: "Sima Guang is not a rotten scholar. It would be good to read more of his books... Where do you see it now?"
"The change of nectar." Zhu Zhanji still replied softly.
"Oh?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zhu Zhanji and said, "How do you feel?"
"The calamity of eunuchs is worse than that of foreign ministers." Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice.
"Those are two idiots, Li Xun and Zheng Zhu. They started fighting for credit before the matter was successful, and that's why they put the emperor in danger." Zhu Di snorted.
"But Grandpa Huang can't deny it," Zhu Zhanji said slowly: "As the saying goes, if the king wants his ministers to die, they have to die. Those eunuchs no longer regard themselves as human ministers!"
"..." Zhu Di finally stopped talking. After a while, he looked at Zhu Zhanji with cold eyes and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"My grandson is just a little worried. Dongchang and Jinyiwei stacking bed frames and houses may not be a blessing to the country." Zhu Zhanji finally said what was in his heart.
"I don't trust Jin Yiwei." Zhu Di's tone became hard, and the look he looked at Zhu Zhanji became unkind, and he said in a deep voice: "Wang Xian instigated you to say this, right?"
"No," Zhu Zhanji dared to admit it, and shook his head flatly: "It's my grandson's worry." Dundun said, "Grandpa Huang couldn't trust the Jin Yiwei, so he asked Dongchang to monitor him, but what if Dongchang also makes trouble?"
"I trust Zhao Ying." Zhu Di snorted, with an obviously impatient look on his face, and waved his hand: "If you have nothing else to do, just step back."
"Of course Zhao Ying is trustworthy!" It's okay that Zhu Di didn't mention Zhao Ying. When he mentioned him, Zhu Zhanji couldn't let it go. He bit the bullet and said loudly: "But he is quite old, he can still work for a few more years.
?!How can Grandpa Huang ensure that his successor can be trusted!"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought of this question.
"Of course, Grandpa Huang is so wise and powerful that he is the only emperor in the ages! Under your command, no tiger or wolf of any kind will dare to cause trouble!" Seeing Zhu Di stunned, Zhu Zhanji immediately struck while the iron was hot: "But what about you after thousands of years? Dare to protect future generations?
Can the descendants of the emperor also control such a spy agency with unrestricted power? A hundred years from now, will this East Factory cause the disaster of eunuchs in this dynasty? The emperor must think clearly! You must come down, that’s it
The laws of our ancestors that cannot be changed forever!"
"..." Zhu Di fell silent.
Zhu Di sent Zhu Zhanji away without giving him a clear answer.楸/p>
After Zhu Zhanji left, Zhu Di paced back and forth in the hall, his expression uncertain, and it was clear that there was a war between heaven and man in his heart.
Li Yan stood aside, looking at his nose and heart, hoping that the emperor would ignore his presence.
"Li Yan," however, contrary to expectations, Zhu Di still cast his eyes on him and asked quietly: "Do you think there is anyone trustworthy in this world?"
"I can't tell you that," Li Yan said with a low eyebrow, "I can only guarantee my loyalty..."
"Yes," Zhu Di nodded with deep understanding and sighed: "If people's hearts are separated from each other, anyone may betray you..."
"..." Li Yan lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.
"Bring me a set of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"," Zhu Di said in a deep voice...
The next day, the angry shouts of the old eunuch Zhao Ying rang out in the Dongchang Yamen's meeting hall where the plaque 'Being ahead of others' was hung.
"What?! Say it again?!"
"Yes, Mr. Factory," the stall owner murmured, "The Emperor has made a decree that Dongchang will no longer recruit additional personnel, but will instead draw personnel from Jin Yiwei to serve on a regular basis..."
"Deploy manpower from Jinyiwei, or serve on a regular basis?" Zhao Ying said angrily: "Whose idea is this? Where will this put our East Factory?!"
"The emperor met with his grandson yesterday afternoon, and then asked someone to find Zizhi Tongjian. He locked himself up in the study room and watched it all night." The waiter hurriedly replied: "I made the decree this morning."
"..."
Zhao Ying was sullen and silent. After a while, Chengze, the eunuch in charge of the East Factory and second stall, couldn't help but said: "Let the emperor do this, let's do something, don't all fall on Jinyiwei"
In your eyes?"
"Who says it's not the case?" Huaizu, the eunuch foreman of the East Factory and third-level head, said with deep understanding: "I'm afraid the emperor just wants us and the Jin Yiwei to supervise each other."
"Hey, how come the Emperor can't even trust us?" Chengze sighed depressedly: "How can we slaves betray the Emperor?"
"Say less." Huaizu looked at the dark-faced factory manager and reminded Chengze in a low voice: "Don't bother the factory manager."
"Wang Xian!" After a long silence, the old eunuch Zhao Ying finally choked out two words and smashed the tea cup on the table with one palm.
"Him?" Chengze and Huaizu looked at the factory owner in surprise, wondering why this matter was related to Wang Xian again.
"It must be him!" Zhao Ying gritted his teeth and said, "He is not willing to be controlled by us! Let's simply restrain each other! No one can do anything to the other!"
"Yes!" After hearing what the factory master said, Chengze and Huaizu nodded in agreement.
The reason why Dongchang's business development is slow is largely because they focus their main efforts on Jinyiwei. Soon after the establishment, Dongchang successively transferred Jinyiwei to them, requiring them to accept supervision, submit accounts, and submit their accounts before each action.
They had to go to Dongchang to collect their votes, and then hand in their votes and return to work. Dongchang also sent a number of eunuchs to the Jinyi Guards to monitor their every move on the spot.
Such behavior naturally caused Jin Yiwei to be extremely dissatisfied, but Dongchang didn't care, because it was within their rights and responsibilities, and Jin Yiwei couldn't do anything about them. No matter how majestic you Jin Yiwei are outside, our father-in-law in Dongchang
In front of you, even if you are a dragon, you have to curl up, and even if you are a tiger, you have to lie down!
Now that the emperor has done this, Dongchang is not so comfortable - all the people used are Jin Yiwei's people, and every move cannot be hidden from others. If he wants to show off his authority with Jin Yiwei, he doesn't have the confidence.
"Is it still possible?" Everyone was depressed for a while, and Chengze asked in a low voice: "Did the emperor change his mind?"
"How to change it?" Huaizu glanced at him and said: "The factory has shown the emperor's sincerity. If he objects to the people who use the royal guards, what will the emperor think? Will he think that the factory is just pretending?"
"Hey..." Chengze sighed depressedly. The old eunuch Zhao Ying's face was even darker than the bottom of the pot, but he still said forcefully: "I serve the country loyally and sincerely. Even if the emperor doesn't say it, he will."
You took the initiative to ask the emperor to send someone to inspect the East Factory!"
"Yes!" All the waiters stood up solemnly and shouted together: "Serve the country with loyalty and be remembered forever!" They completely forgot about how they were beating their chests from top to bottom after hearing the emperor's arrangement just now.
"Mr. Factory," a fan came in from outside and reported: "Uncle Zhongyong is here."
"What is he here for?" The faces of all the waiters were darkened. They knew very well that Wang Xian was probably behind this incident.
"Invitation!" Zhao Ying snorted coldly and shouted to his subordinates: "Cheer up and don't let others look down on you!"
"Here!" All the stall leaders responded in unison, stood up from their chairs, stood on both sides of Zhao Ying, and looked menacingly at the direction Wang Xian was coming...
"Hahaha!" Before Wang Xianren arrived, the hearty laughter came in first. Of course, this laughter fell in the ears of Zhao Ying and others, and you can imagine how arrogant it was.
"Hahaha!" The old eunuch Zhao Ying also laughed loudly, quite unwilling to be outdone.
"Eunuch Zhao, my subordinates are here to listen!" Wang Xian's figure finally appeared in the meeting hall. He was wearing a purple python official robe and a jade belt around his waist. Behind him, he was followed by a dozen masters such as Xianyun to protect him.
"Uncle, you are joking," Zhao Ying suppressed his smile and said, "How dare our family send you?"
"Hey," Wang Xian said with a smile: "The emperor's decree is clear. Officers and soldiers are selected from the Jinyi Guards to serve as servants in Dongchang. As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, of course I must set an example."
"Haha..." Zhao Ying smiled on his face and cursed in his heart. With your style, do I dare to send you?!
