In fact, the changes in the East Factory in the past few days have attracted the attention of many people.

Many officials who are good friends with Cao Huachun have sent people to contact Cao Huachun, wanting to ask what Dongchang is busy with? However, no one could get the answer, not even see anyone, not even if they asked to see them in person.

In this regard, many people are talking and speculating about possible things. Or show their magic and inquire about the news from various channels, such as those who are doing things under the East Factory, etc. Slowly, news came out with several versions.

The first situation is: the emperor was furious and asked Dongchang to thoroughly investigate the Manchu Qing Tartars, why did the court enter the customs three times when the imperial court was just about to suppress the thieves, so that the thieves were given a chance to breathe?

The second situation is: someone sued Dongchang for blackness, Dongchang is retaliating, it is said that the possibility of the imperial horse supervisor is very high, but some people say that it is Xue Guoguan, an assistant minister of the cabinet.

The third situation is: the emperor borrowed money from Dongchang and paid a lot of money, which made those people in Dongchang feel that they had lost money, and they started to hold money again.

These people don't have a bugging system to overhear what the real situation is, so they can't guess which is the real situation while talking about it.

As a result, some people just listen to it, and feel that it is none of their business. Some people are very concerned and start to think of ways to inquire, while others are very worried. For example, Xue Guoguan, he didn't even have the mind to draft a ticket, and often watched the music in a daze.

The arrogance of Dongchang and the majesty of the Apocalypse Dynasty are what they have all experienced. Although it is dormant in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and hello, hello, hello, everyone, this does not mean that Dongchang has really become a sick cat.

Xue Guoguan felt that the emperor had finally realized the shortcomings of the government and was determined to reform the government, so he felt that this was an opportunity to bring down Cao Huachun under impulse, and he could also save his reputation and seek justice for the former chief assistant Wen Tiren, so he acted in front of the emperor.

However, he didn't expect that even so, the emperor still trusted Cao Huachun, not only pressed the matter, but also targeted himself, picking his own votes, and so on, Dongchang was active again, should it be to take revenge on himself, right?

I have to say that in the face of the tiger of Dongchang, once he really starts to exert his might, Xue Guoguan has no power to slaughter the tiger at all, he doesn't think about himself, he always thinks about his family, right? At this time, Xue Guoguan already regretted it a little, but it was useless to regret it, he kept thinking about it blankly.

What Xue Guoguan was thinking in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't know through the eavesdropping system, but at this time, he didn't go to see the eavesdropping system, but listened to Cao Huachun's advice about Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei.

For Cao Huachun, it is very simple to find out Li Ruolian's situation, so he can come back quickly to report.

Emperor Chongzhen listened to his advice quietly, and checked the information in his hand from time to time, although he couldn't see anything on his face, he was very happy in his heart.

In the original plan, he wanted to put Li Guochen on the post of commander of the Jinyi Guard, and then let him supervise the civil and military officials and Wang Gongxungui to give loans. However, he is actually a little hesitant about this matter. There are several reasons for this:

First, he doesn't know whether this Li Guochen has the ability to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Second, Li Guochen is the cousin of Marquis Wu Qing, and it is difficult to say how much wealth he can share. In this era, it is not the family wealth that is divided equally, but the son-in-law becomes the head of the family, and most of it is owned by the son-in-law. And this, in fact, is also the basis of the inheritance of feudal emperors.

However, this Li Guochen was very dissatisfied with this, so he reported to the court how much wealth he had left behind, and he, as a son, must share half of it. The family will definitely refuse, so he will transfer half of the family wealth to the court for military use. In this way, the imperial court must be willing, and when it is extremely short of money, it is estimated that the imperial court will come forward to ask for it, so will you Wuqinghou give it or not? Anyway, if you don't give me this money, then you won't get it, and I can still get the favor of the court from it, which can be regarded as earning.

This kind of thought, Emperor Chongzhen can guess. Just as Li Guochen thought, the imperial court couldn't refuse this temptation, after all, 200,000 taels of silver!

But this kind of thing, in this era, is actually a bit of a loss. But if the emperor not only took the 200,000 taels of silver, but also supported Li Guochen to become the commander of the Jinyi Guard. The non-sons-in-law of other families will have such thoughts, anyway, if they can't get it, they will take it to the court to invite merit, and maybe they can also find an official position. In this way, the legal foundation of the entire feudal dynasty inheritance will be shaken. And this, for the emperor, is actually not good.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen had concerns about promoting Li Guochen as the Marquis of Wuqing and letting him be the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Unless there is really no way, he is not willing to open this Pandora's box.

Now it's good, judging from Li Ruolian's family background and his resume of serving in Jinyiwei for many years, he is the best candidate for the commander of Jinyiwei.

First, the family background is innocent, the family of meritorious service, and there is no bad background.

Second, he rose to the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard by virtue of his own merits, since the Apocalypse Dynasty, the Jinyi Guard has not done many practical things, but there are always some things that need someone to do, and Li Ruolian is such a person.

Third, although Li Ruolian is not a perfect person, and he also has some shortcomings and mistakes, it is already rare to be in the big dye vat of corrupt Jinyiwei. is also because of this, his usual life is incompatible with most of his colleagues, and for this reason, he is excluded by his colleagues.

Fourth, a lot of his credit has been taken by his superiors, including the current Jinyi Guard's commander Luo Yangxing, so it can be said that he is not dealing with the people of the Jinyi Guard who are now rotten.

Fifth, from Li Ruolian's usual point of view, there is no doubt about his loyalty to the king, and this has remained unchanged even when he has grievances. If you reuse it, you will be more faithful. If Emperor Chongzhen knew that he would rather die than surrender in history, it is estimated that he would not treat him as an outsider.

Such a person, if he can be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, because he himself is very familiar with the Jinyi Guard, and he usually has a group of subordinates, he will naturally know how to sort out the Jinyi Guard and revitalize the Jinyi Guard. This is far better than parachuting a brocade guard commander, and it will not be overshadowed by his subordinates. In contrast, if he directly takes Cao Huachun, the commander of the East Factory, it does not mean that he will be able to change the East Factory for the better, and this is also the reason why he did not move Cao Huachun.

After reading the information at hand and listening to Cao Huachun's advice, Emperor Chongzhen had actually made up his mind in his heart, so he asked Li Ruolian to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Originally, I wanted to put the rectification of Jinyiwei on the ground, but now that I have the right candidate, it is also a good choice to rectify Jinyiwei first, so that I can have a force in my hands that can be used.

Thinking of these, Emperor Chongzhen finally put down a big stone in his heart. I just crossed over, and in the face of a rotten situation, it is so difficult to open a breakthrough!

Originally, he wanted to fight poison with poison, let his subordinates fight among themselves to find opportunities to break the situation, or simply wait for the war to end, and select trustworthy people from among the meritorious soldiers who dare to fight. But I didn't expect that because of the existence of the eavesdropping system, I accidentally learned that there was such a breakthrough in Jinyiwei, which was really good!

He was thinking like this, when suddenly an attendant at the door of the hall said, "The commander of the Jinyi Guard has asked Luo Yangxing to meet him!" ”
