Chapter 39 Interests Conflict
、、、、、、、
"There is only the emperor in the heart of the lower officials, there is no party or party, Gonggong Li should not think that everyone in this world has anything to do with the Donglin party, the lower officials have always admired the fathers-in-law of the inner court, otherwise the lower officials would not have been sent to Dongchang!"
Liu Shi said to Li Chaoqin without being soft or hard, he was determined to compete with these two big stall leaders to the end today.
There is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason, and Liu Shi's move is not a sudden madness, but a result of interests.
As we all know, since the opening of the East Factory, most of the selected fans in the factory have been drawn from Jinyiwei, even if Emperor Xianzong did not trust the East Factory, and instead let Wang Zhi open the West Factory, the fans allocated to it also came from Jinyiwei, and the insider factory in the Zhengde period was simply drawn out of the East Factory. Therefore, for 200 years, Jinyiwei has become the most important source of Dongchang fans. The purpose of opening the East Factory was to detect the illegal affairs of hundreds of officials, to serve as the eyes and ears of the emperor, and to monitor the Jinyi pro-army, and the short-lived West Factory and the Insider Factory were directly supervised by the East and West Factory. This brings an embarrassing and contradictory problem, that is, the East Factory is tasked with monitoring Jinyiwei, and most of the people who undertake this task come from Jinyiwei, which is undoubtedly the story of spear and shield.
Fortunately, for two hundred years, there has been no inconsistency between the factory and the guards for this strange arrangement, and everyone has nothing to do. The only exception is that when Wang Zhichang was supervising the West Factory, he discovered and attached importance to the problem of his subordinates, so he boldly used a large number of people, such as people in the market, people in the rivers and lakes, officials in various departments, street vendors, and so on. In short, Wang Changgong went down with a knife, completely purified the ingredients of the West Factory, and drove away a large number of Jinyi troops who were originally transferred by the emperor, thus really starting the spy career of the West Factory independent of the East Factory and Jinyiwei, and the results were remarkable, making the West Factory famous far and wide, and the momentum suppressed the East Factory and Jinyi Wei several heads, and the West Factory was not eliminated until Wang Zhi lost power.
Because the prestige of the West Factory is too great, so a hundred years later, whether it is the people of the East Factory or the people of Jinyiwei, they will never forget the West Factory of that year, and remember how Wang Changgong carried forward the West Factory overnight, if Liu Shi is not mistaken, he can be sure that the means taken by Wang Zhi back then was - "expansion".
Of course, as long as it is not another West Factory, it doesn't seem to be a big deal for the East Factory to be expanded, and Grandpa Wei will expand it if he wants to, anyway, he is in charge of thousands of households, except for these four big stall eunuchs, no one in the East Factory dares to say a word to himself. The scale of the factory is larger, and there are more people, and they will follow the rising tide, and the power will be heavier.
On the surface, things seem to be like this, but Liu Shi doesn't see it very much, what he sees from it is that Wei Zhongxian wants to weaken the Jinyi Guards and weaken the power of the thousands and hundreds of households from their group of Jinyi Guards. This is not the most important thing, more importantly, Liu Shi thinks that if Dongchang is expanded, then his elder brother, Liu Qiao, the commander of the Beizhen Fusi, will not be able to be promoted to the commander of Jinyi Weidu as he wishes.
You must know that although Dongchang and Jinyiwei are both directly under the emperor's orders, it is impossible for the emperor to directly command the factory guard, so he must complete his control of the factory guard through two people. These two people are the Jinyi Weidu Commander and the Dongchang Palm Seal Eunuch, and there is a difference between the two, the former is a normal person, and most of them are served by Xun Qi, while the latter is served by the palace eunuchs.
And the current commander of the Jinyi Guard is Xun Qi Luo Sigong, an old man who has served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard since the twenty-third year of Wanli.
Luo Sigong is indeed an old man, older than Wei Zhongxian, and since the second year of the Apocalypse, his old man has no longer been to the Jinyi Wei Yamen office, judging from the current signs, His Majesty the Emperor is about to reappoint the new Jinyi Wei commander, has replaced Luo Sigong, who is too sick to get up, and the most likely candidate to succeed Luo Sigong as the new governor of Jinyi Wei is Liu Qiao, the commander of the Beizhen Fusi - Liu Shi's own brother!
Like the six departments of the imperial court, the Jinyi Guard also had several institutions, one of which was the Han general who was in charge of the emperor's guards and the staff of the court, and the other was two divisions.
The two divisions refer to the Experience Division and the Pacification Division, the former is in charge of matters such as the access, transcription and file sealing of official documents of Jinyiwei, and the functions of the six departments are similar to those of the six departments. The Zhenfu Division is the key point of the entire Jinyiwei, and it is divided into the North and South Zhenfu Division.
The Nanzhen Fusi is located in Nanjing, which is responsible for the investigation of crimes and the research and development of weapons in the guards, while the Beizhen Fusi is located in the capital, and is in charge of the secret surveillance of the feudal kings and officials in various places, and specializes in the edicts and prisons. After the prison is completed, the emperor does not need to go through the command of the Jinyi Guard, and if the Jinyi Guard is not in charge of the prison, he will never interfere in the affairs of the Beizhen Fusi.
It can be said that Beizhen Fusi is the key point of Jinyiwei and the soul, and the commander Liu Qiao naturally became the second person in Jinyiwei after the commander of the capital, so if Luo Sigong retreats, the biggest candidate to replace him is Liu Qiao.
Wei Zhongxian wants to expand the East Factory, it is definitely impossible to transfer it from Jinyiwei, because the personnel of Jinyiwei are fixed, and they are all filed in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. And there is Wang Zhi's lesson, Liu Shi naturally does not believe that Wei Zhongxian's expansion does not mean to target Jinyiwei, because Jinyiwei is different from Dongchang, although Xu Xianchun, Tian Ergeng, Xu Yunhe and others are his eyes and ears, but the power of Jinyiwei is still in the hands of his brother Liu Qiao, and Wei Zhongxian cannot directly control Jinyiwei. The key point is that his brother Liu Qiao doesn't like Wei Zhongxian, and his in-laws are Huang Zunsu, a member of the Donglin Party, and his best friend is Gao Panlong, a member of the Donglin Party.
It is precisely because his brother Liu Qiao is close to the Donglin Party that Wei Zhongxian has repeatedly tried to use the hands of Jinyiwei to get rid of some dissidents but has not been able to do so, and he has secretly resolved many detectives and secret investigations against the Donglin Party during the four years that he was in charge of Dongchang, and firmly grasped the Jinyiwei in Dongchang, so that Dongchang failed to become Wei Zhongxian's claws.
Liu Shi would not be so stupid as to naively think that Wei Zhongxian was unaware of what he was doing, and the reason why Wei Chi didn't attack him was not because of his brother Liu Qiao! If it weren't for the elder brother who served as the commander of the Beizhen Fusi, Liu Shi believed that with his actions in the past few years, Wei Zhongxian would have eliminated himself a long time ago.
When Liu Yingkun was planning to kill Yang Rulong with a false holy decree, Liu Shi smelled a danger signal, and Wei Zhongxian was going to attack the Donglin party! And if the Donglin Party collapses, his brother Liu Qiao will definitely be implicated, so whether it is public or private, Liu Shi will not let Wei Zhongxian's plan to expand the East Factory succeed. He has the confidence to confront Wei Zhongxian, because he believes that the Jinyi guards in the East Factory will listen to him, and if Liu Yingkun and Li Chaoqin dare to mess around, then they will have to weigh the danger of infighting in the East Factory.
"Liu Qianhu likes to hear this, but our family thinks that Lord Qianhu doesn't think so in his heart, maybe a dead Liu Qianhu will be more respectful to our fathers-in-law."
