When Zhao Junchen returned home, as soon as he got off the sedan chair, the porter informed Zhao Junchen that Wei Huai, the commander of the West Factory, had been waiting for Zhao Junchen in the mansion for a long time.

At the beginning, when Zhao Junchen was ordered to set up the West Factory, Wei Huai made a lot of contributions, which can be remembered; When the West Factory was established, Wei Huai has always been Zhao Junchen's right-hand man in the affairs of the West Factory, because of the existence of Wei Huai, Zhao Junchen has hardly worried about the affairs of the West Factory, all the big and small affairs are handled by Wei Huai in an orderly manner, and Wei Huai has always handled the tasks ordered by Zhao Junchen.

Now, although the West Factory is about to be returned to the inner court, Zhao Junchen's attention to Wei Huai has not changed.

Therefore, after hearing that Wei Huai was waiting for him in the mansion, Zhao Junchen immediately walked in the direction of the study, and at the same time instructed the people in the mansion to lead Wei Huai to the study to see him.

When Zhao Junchen saw Wei Huai in the study, he found that Wei Huai was still the same, sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed, his body was thin but his eyes were blazing, his face was pale and his eyes were gloomy, which faintly brought people an inexplicable coldness.

"Lord Zhao."

After coming to the study, Wei Huai sat in a wheelchair and bowed to Zhao Junchen.

Zhao Junchen waved his hand, and the Xichang fanzi, who was pushing the wheelchair, bowed down and retired.

Then, Zhao Junchen smiled at Wei Huai and asked, "Mr. Wei, have you heard of His Majesty's decisions at today's Great Court Meeting?" The West Factory is about to be returned to the Inner Court. ”

Wei Huai nodded, and replied in his usual hoarse voice: "I heard about it, so I will ask to see the adult as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head lightly and said, "Sure enough, as you and I expected, after the southern tour is over, Your Majesty will take back the power of the West Factory from me." For this matter, long before the start of the southern tour, I had asked you to prepare in secret, and now that five months have passed, I want to know how you are prepared? ”

Regarding Zhao Junchen's straightforward inquiry, Wei Huai was not surprised. He just took out a secret letter from his arms, handed it to Zhao Junchen with both hands, and said: "This is the second batch of lists, there are a total of one hundred and thirty-seven people in it, all of them can be trusted, they will be completely under the orders of Lord Zhao, plus the two hundred and thirteen people in the first list, and now there are nearly half of the people in the West Factory who are completely under the control of your lordship...... Therefore, the West Factory will still be the West Factory in your hands, Lord Zhao. In the future, it will only obey your orders, Lord Zhao. ”

Speaking of the back, Wei Huai's tone was a little meaningful.

As Wei Huai said, this was the second list he had given to Zhao Junchen—a similar list had already been given to Zhao Junchen long before the southern tour.

After Zhao Junchen took the list, he began to review it carefully, and found that there were a large number of names listed in it, and behind the names were dense remarks, which were all evidence of the crimes of the people in the list. It is precisely because of these criminal evidence that Zhao Junchen can control many of the people on the list.

Originally. When Wei Huai was ordered to select the personnel of the West Factory, he did the opposite, using the power of investigation during the screening to find many Jinyi Guards, Praetorian Guards, and eunuchs in the inner court who seemed to be loyal on the surface, but had done many things to deceive the king and bend the law in private, and transferred them to the West Factory. took the opportunity to control the criminal evidence of these people, and then Wei Huai used these criminal evidence to coerce and lure them, and in the end, these people could only choose to be loyal to Zhao Junchen.

Since the establishment of the West Factory, this matter has always been Wei Huai's main task.

After carefully reviewing the list, Zhao Junchen nodded. said: "Very good, these two lists combined, there are nearly 400 people, including the lowest-level fans, as well as high-level thousands of households, all over the West Factory all strata, and all of them are the backbone of the West Factory, with the investment of these people, even if the West Factory is returned to the inner court, it is still in our hands......

As he spoke, a hint of thought flashed between Zhao Junchen's expressions.

Speaking of which, the West Factory has the power of detective and has always been the most powerful force in Zhao Junchen's hands, but Zhao Junchen has been the supervisor of the West Factory since he became the supervisor. But he has never used the power of the West Factory to do things for himself, even when Zhao Junchen encounters problems and crises, he has always stayed away from the power of the West Factory.

Because, Zhao Junchen knows very well that although the power of the West Factory is huge and amazing, it also has many drawbacks: the West Factory is the imperial power of the Deqing Emperor, and if he uses it privately, it will cause the dissatisfaction and suspicion of the Deqing Emperor, which is one of them; The power of the West Factory represents the arbitrariness of the imperial power, and has always been resisted by the officials, even if the power of the West Factory can be profited for a while, it will inevitably usher in the exclusion and rebound of the officials in the future, which is not conducive to long-term development, which is the second; The reputation of the factory guard in the government and the opposition is extremely poor, and if Zhao Junchen is too closely connected with the West Factory, it will destroy Zhao Junchen's plan to reverse his reputation, so Zhao Junchen has also been deliberately downplaying the fact that he is the supervisor of the West Factory, which is the third.

Therefore, unless he was instructed by Emperor Deqing, Zhao Junchen would never use the power of Xichang, and under Zhao Junchen's deliberate dilution, Xichang has always been low-key, and is often ignored by the government and the opposition.

However, a powerful force like the West Factory is obviously in the hands of the hand, but it is never used, which is naturally a bit of a waste.

Now, under the changing situation, it is finally time for Zhao Junchen to use this power.

On the surface, Emperor Deqing had taken back the power of Xichang in Zhao Junchen's hands, and since then, what Xichang has done has nothing to do with Zhao Junchen; At the same time, Zhao Junchen still maintained control over the West Factory through all kinds of preparations - this situation is a good thing for Zhao Junchen, because Zhao Junchen has ostensibly cleared up the relationship with the West Factory, and the suspicion of Emperor Deqing, the exclusion of hundreds of officials, and the hostility of the government and the opposition will not implicate Zhao Junchen, which means that Zhao Junchen can finally use the power of the West Factory at will in the future! You can get the benefits of the huge power of the West Factory, but you will not be implicated by the West Factory!

In addition, through his secret control of the West Factory, Zhao Junchen could also use the West Factory to infiltrate the imperial party and the inner court in turn......

While thinking about it, it was just a moment, and a series of plans had already appeared in Zhao Junchen's mind.

However, in front of Wei Huai, Zhao Junchen did not show his thoughts, but just sighed to Wei Huai: "It's really fortunate that Mr. Wei is sorry...... It's a pity that after I return the West Factory to the Inner Court, you still have to stay in the West Factory to help me secretly control the situation, but in order to control the overall situation of the West Factory, the new factory governor is afraid that he will try his best to suppress you, and then he will be even more wronged by you. ”

Wei Huai said with a flat expression: "This is also a choice made by the humble himself, so I don't feel wronged." ”

Seeing Wei Huai like this, Zhao Junchen shook his head helplessly.

Then, after Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment, he suddenly said: "Speaking of which, while the West Factory has not yet confirmed the candidate for the new factory supervisor, I still need you to do something for me." ”

"Please give me orders."

*****

At the same time, when Zhao Junchen and Wei Huai were talking secretly, the inner court was a jubilant scene.

The great eunuchs of the Twelfth Prison, the Fourth Division, and the Eighth Bureau also gathered together at this time, all of them looked happy.
