Chapter 364: Rain in the Wind

Hearing that Liu Jin took the initiative to ask for help, Li Yan sneered slightly, looked at Zhu Houzhao, and sure enough, Zhu Houzhao hesitated, thought about it, and made this decision for a while.

"Okay, then Liu Jin will lead you, but I have a word first, you are in charge of the affairs of the East Factory, but it must be convenient for Jinyiwei." Zhu Houzhao thought about it before he said.

Hearing this, Liu Jin was overjoyed, and after thanking Zhu Houzhao, he hurriedly walked outside.

Then I heard Liu Jin's pretended calm announcement. "Today, all of you Aiqing and Jinyiwei incidents, the West Factory is specially reopened, and Liu Jin is the director of the West Factory, supervising Jinyiwei and the East Factory, and evenly distributing my talents to show their use."

Reopening the West Factory? Hearing this, one by one civil officials were immediately shocked, and they didn't expect that such a situation would come out so far!

Li Dongyang Mansion, Yang Tinghe came over with a few taels of tea leaves.

"Oh, good tea, Lord Yang, this really flatters Li." Li Dongyang picked up the tea and put it under his nose and smelled it, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Haha, you guy, I can't see you here once a year, why bother me so much?" Yang Tinghe replied dissatisfied.

"You? You don't necessarily come to my house once a year, do you? I've never seen you so polite on weekdays. Li Dongyang pursed his lips, but he had already washed the tea leaves with water in his hand and was ready to brew.

"This is good tea, don't put too much of it." Yang Tinghe looked a little painful, and couldn't help reminding.

"Family...... Good tea is mine now, what do you say? Li Dongyang put the tea very tastelessly and didn't let Yang Tinghe see it.

"How's the tea?" After the tea was brewed, Yang Tinghe, as a guest, poured a cup for Li Dongyang, the host, before pouring himself full.

"Yes, that's good." Li Dongyang nodded, then glanced at Yang Tinghe.

"But some people are drunk today, and they don't mean to drink, if you don't understand, I will drink this tea in vain." Drinking tea, Li Dongyang had something to say.

"Haha, I know I can't hide anything from you, old fellow." Yang Tinghe smiled, and then leaned into Li Dongyang's ear. "Your Majesty has reopened the West Factory, do you know?" Yang Tinghe whispered.

"You have made such a big noise, it is estimated that the entire capital is boiling, I don't think it's hard to know." Li Dongyang shook his head.

"That's my protΓ©gΓ© did it, I don't feel sorry, by the time I know it, Liu Jin has already become the factory manager of the West Factory, and what more power of supervision does he have......"

When Yang Tinghe said this, his tone was a little unnatural, and he didn't continue.

"Huh? Why don't you say it? Did you make a wedding dress for Liu Jin? The West Factory can't be opened, and it will be chaotic when it opens, and I don't know why Li Yan didn't stop it this time? Li Dongyang seemed happy to see nature, but when he said it, he also began to mumble to himself.

Xichang only existed for a short time in the history of the Ming Dynasty, during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a mysterious case of "demon fox night out" in the capital, and then there was a demon Li Zilong who used the side door to deceive people, and even snagged a lot of eunuchs, with bad intentions. Although Li Zilong and his followers were finally wiped out by Jinyiwei, Xianzong deeply felt the lack of detection power. So Wang Zhi, the clever little eunuch beside him, was selected and sent outside the palace to inquire about the news. Wang Zhi seized this opportunity, chased the wind everywhere, and collected a lot of so-called "secret information" to report to Xianzong. Xianzong thought that the news was very valuable, and was very satisfied with Wang Zhi's performance, and asked him to continue to do it.

A few months later, Xianzong established a new inner court organization, Xichang, led by Wang Zhi. The site of the West Factory is located in front of Lingji Palace, with the old ash factory as the headquarters of the factory. The officers of the West Factory were mainly selected from the Praetorian Guard, and these people then selected their own subordinates, and in just a few months, the personnel of the West Factory were greatly expanded, and its power even exceeded that of the old predecessors of the East Factory.

The establishment of the West Factory was originally just to spy on the news for the emperor, but Wang Zhi desperately constructed big and important cases in order to promote his official wealth. As soon as a person is suspected, he will immediately arrest him, without the prior consent of the emperor, and then of course he will be tortured to extract confessions, and strive to make the case as big as possible. For ordinary people, as long as their words and deeds are not very good, they will be severely punished by Xichang for the crime of evil words.

Under such circumstances, only five months after the establishment of the West Factory, the people of the government and the opposition were panicked, and the auxiliary ministers of the university scholars and businessmen collectively wrote to Xianzong to complain about the harm of the West Factory and report the illegal things handled by Wang Zhi one by one. Xianzong was shocked when he received the medal, so he revoked the West Factory and dismissed the personnel of the West Factory.

But the days without Xichang always made Xianzong feel insecure, and a traitorous minister Dai Jin took the initiative to write a book after learning the emperor's thoughts, touting Wang Zhi. Xianzong was overjoyed and immediately restored the West Factory, and there was only a month between the abolition and the opening. After Wang Zhi's comeback, he handled the case more harshly, and Dai Jin was also promoted.

In the following five years, Wang Zhi led Xichang to handle countless "big cases", cutting off the courtiers who opposed him, such as Shang Shi and Xiang Zhong, and his power also reached the extreme. But as the saying goes: "things must be opposed", Wang Zhi's extremely inflated power could not but arouse the emperor's vigilance, and in the subsequent power struggle, Wang Zhi failed, was transferred out of the capital, and the East Factory was disbanded. A few years later, Wang Zhi died in frustration.

Until now, the West Factory has been reopened, and the leader of the West Factory is still not a big man with a clear mind, but a narrow-minded eunuch who wants to eradicate dissidents.

Li Dongyang muttered to himself, why didn't Li Yan stop what Liu Jin did? Obviously, in Li Dongyang's view, Li Yan's inaction is undoubtedly playing with fire.

Play with fire...... Li Dongyang suddenly threw down the teacup and ran out disheveled under the gaze of the stunned Yang Tinghe.

"Hey! Master Li, where are you going? Yang Tinghe thought that Li Dongyang was stimulated by something, and couldn't help shouting loudly in the back.

"I'll go find Li Yan!" Li Dongyang didn't look back.

"Looking for Li Yan......? Wait, I'll go with you too! As soon as he heard that he was looking for Li Yan, Yang Tinghe thought quickly in his heart, threw down the teacup, and ran out.

At this time, Jin Yiwei was in charge of the Yamen, and Jin Yiwei was in the middle of the legendary brother's 'end-of-month assessment'

。

"What would you do if someone robbed your house?"

"Grandma's! Dare to rob a house? Beat it back, of course! ”

"What if this kind of robbery is robbing the rich and helping the poor? What should you do? ”

"Uncle, do you still need to think about this? Of course, they robbed the rich and helped the poor together! ”

"If the target of robbing the rich and helping the poor is Ning Huahou Li Yan, what should you do?"

"Of course...... Ah? Grandma's, who would dare to rob us two adults? I'll kill him first! ”
