Chapter 133 Establishment of the West Factory
"Your Majesty, Wang Zhiquan is powerful, I don't know how many officials have colluded with him over the years, he has already grown into a towering tree, it is not easy for Your Majesty to get rid of him, if you force him urgently, I am afraid I don't know what will be done."
Emperor Beiyan also frowned, because he had been treating Wang Zhi as his stand-in a few days ago, and it was because he was very conniving with him that he had led to the current situation.
"Hey.. I also know that this is not an easy task, but I can't let it go, it seems that I have to think of what can be done. ”
Chu Luoyi pondered for a moment and said, "If Your Majesty wants to get rid of Wang Zhi, the only way to do this is to disintegrate his forces first and find a force that can compete with him. ”
"Enough to compete with him?" Emperor Beiyan frowned.
Chu Luoyi took the look of Emperor Beiyan in his eyes, and said tentatively: "It's a pity that there is only one force like Dongchang, and after thinking about it, I can't find an institution like this." ”
Emperor Beiyan's eyes lit up: "Since there is none, then you might as well cultivate one, if the East Factory can exist, why can't there be another West Factory!" ”
Chu Luoyi lowered his eyes, a sneer flashed in his eyes, what he wanted was your words.
Cultivating the West Factory to compete with the East Factory, Beiliuyun divided Wang Zhi's forces in the court, and he had removed Wang Zhi's eyeliner in the palace, plus Emperor Beiyan was already jealous of Wang Zhi, even if Wang Zhi had three heads and six arms, he was afraid that it would be difficult to turn over this time.
"But who will lead the West Factory? If the choice is not good, I am afraid that it will be a king in the future! Emperor Beiyan said again, but his gaze fell on Chu Luoyi.
Chu Luoyi pondered for a moment and said: "The concubine thinks that it is better for His Majesty to control it personally, no matter whose hands it is in it, it is not as stable as it is in His Majesty's hands." ”
Emperor Beiyan bowed slightly when he saw this, but did not refuse.
"Okay, Concubine Luo, you rest first, and I will start to deal with this matter."
After Emperor Beiyan left, Xiao Liuzi stepped forward and said, "Master, you are worried about the death of the slave, the slave saw that you were crowded by the crowd, but he couldn't catch up." ”
"I'm worried about you, this time someone did it deliberately, but it's a scheming person." Chu Luoyi narrowed his eyes.
Xiao Liuzi responded: "But isn't it? We have so many masters, if it is an ordinary assassination, it will not be able to hurt half a hair of the master at all, but this person knows how to use the people as a cover, and he scatters the master. ”
Chu Luoyi closed his eyes, guessing in his mind who did it.
Obviously, the person who did it this time was coming for her, and even had to kill her!
"Could it be the Divine Dragon Sect?"
Xiao Liuzi said softly.
Chu Luoyi shook his head and said: "The martial arts of the person who did it this time are very different from those of the Divine Dragon Sect, and Beiliuyun has been paying attention to the movements of the Divine Dragon Sect, if it is such a big move, it should not be unnoticed." ”
"Is it the Queen? Since the queen was lifted, there has been no action, so she has to find the right time again and want to hit with one blow. ”
Chu Luoyi frowned, still shook his head and said: "It doesn't seem to be the queen's line, the queen was grounded for nearly a year last time, and now is the critical moment to compete for the throne, if I were the queen, I would definitely put up with this evil breath first and focus on the battle for the throne." ”
"That's right? Yes, if something goes wrong with the queen again, it will be a big disadvantage to the prince. ”
"Could it be Concubine Rou?" Xiao Liuzi had to guess again.
Chu Luoyi said: "Tell someone to keep an eye on Xiao Yuluo, and then check if she has made any recent moves." ”
Xiao Liuzi was a little surprised, but he still responded.
Chu Luoyi leaned on the head of the bed a little tiredly, now that she has come to this position, she has offended too many people, I don't know how many people want to put her to death, and the current situation is tantamount to embattled, trying to identify who is moving in this situation is tantamount to peeling off the cocoon.
"But master, don't you plan to put His Royal Highness Nine in charge of this West Factory? How could His Majesty take over personally? Chu Luoyi tapped Xiao Liuzi's head: "The emperor has always been suspicious, and he proposed Beiliuyun, just afraid that it would arouse suspicion, and besides, the emperor has lived in the palace for a long time, even if he wants to control the West Factory, there are some things, someone must do it, as expected, the most suitable candidate at the moment must be His Royal Highness the Ninth who would rather sacrifice his life to save his father." ”
Xiao Liuzi sneered: "It's still the master who is wise." ”
"When the news was released, it was said that the reason why Concubine Luo did not die seems to be because her heart is different from ordinary people and grows on the right side." A cold glint flashed in Chu Luoyi's eyes.
Xiao Liuzi's eyes widened: "Master, it turns out that your heart grows on the right side, how can the slave say that you have such good luck." ”
Chu Luoyi said lightly: "The heart is on the left, release this news, just in case, if I am assassinated in the future, the assassin thinks that my heart is on the right, and I can live not only by luck." ”
Xiao Liuzi fell silent when he heard this, and his eyes were a little sour.
At this moment, the fish was not lightly angry, and soon after coming to the dense forest, a palace maid hurried over.
"Miss.."
"Didn't my brother say she was dead? Why is she not only alive, but also sent back by His Highness the Nine! ”
"This... The eldest young master said that the killer sent did say that he was dead, and according to the news he heard, it seemed that Concubine Luo's heart was different from ordinary people, and it grew on the right side! ”
Yu'er gritted a mouthful of silver teeth: "She's really fateful!" I don't believe it, if she can hide this time, she can still escape next time! ”
"Miss, this is the antidote to the red willow." The maid handed a porcelain vase to the fish.
Yu'er took the porcelain vase and said, "You go back first, if there is anything, I will contact my brother again." ”
Turning around and walking out a short distance, Hongliu was waiting there with a calm face, his lips were already a little purple, and he looked like he was enduring something.
Yu'er threw an antidote to Hongliu and said, "Remember to report to His Royal Highness the Ninth as usual." ”
Three days later, Emperor Beiyan issued an edict to set up the West Factory, which was under the direct jurisdiction of Emperor Beiyan.
Because it was difficult to find a large number of eunuchs with good martial arts for a while, Emperor Beiyan directly relaxed the requirements and recruited martial arts people with extremely high remuneration, and did not even have to be castrated, just to serve the imperial court.
As Chu Luoyi said, all trivial matters are carried out outside the palace, and Emperor Beiyan has to choose one person to entrust him with important tasks after all, which is to be monitored by Beiliuyun, the Nine Emperor Princes, during the establishment and support of the West Factory.
For a month, Chu Luoyi has been recuperating, but the wind and rain are changing.
Most of Wang Zhi's henchmen were frightened, behaved with their tails between their legs, surrendered everywhere, and sought refuge, while some of the so-called loyal and brave people to Wang Zhi were either executed or died tragically at home.
A month later, although Wang Zhi was still alive, he no longer regained his former majesty, most of the forces were absorbed by Beiliuyun, and some were divided into forces in the hands of the crown prince and Beiliuhai and others.
"Master, this Fourth Highness has someone to bring you some tonic medicine." Xiao Liuzi was holding a few brocade boxes in his hands.
Chu Luoyi glanced at it: "His courage is getting bigger and bigger, so he is not afraid that Emperor Beiyan will convict him of fornication again." 厣"
Xiao Liuzi shrugged: "But it's strange to say, these four highnesses ran back privately, but the emperor was not angry, and I don't know if he said something to His Majesty, or if His Majesty has any new plans." ”
Chu Luoyi didn't understand this, Emperor Beiyan easily let go of Beiliuhai, except for a few words of scolding, there was no substantive punishment.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Luoyi spoke: "Xu is the hunt of the four countries is imminent, and Tanglin will also send people to come at that time, Beiliuhai is the son of Princess Tanglin after all, and has always been valued by the old emperor, if he is exiled outside the customs at this time, I am afraid that he will be held accountable by Tanglin." ”
Xiao Liuzi nodded: "Now it seems that this is the case." ”
Chu Luoyi got up and walked outside the door, standing in the courtyard of Luoyue Palace, his eyes were a little dark.
In a little more than a month, the snow has completely melted, the trees have begun to sprout, and the sunlight has also penetrated the branches and projected in.
There is still half a month to hunt in the four countries, Ouyang Qiancheng, Chen Qingxue, this should be the first time we meet after being reborn.
Chu Luoyi said in a deep voice: "What is the situation of the people and horses of various countries now? ”
Xiao Liuzi pondered for a moment and said: "Except for Xiqi, they have all set off, and it is expected that four or five days before the hunting of the four countries, all countries will be complete." ”
Chu Luoyi didn't speak again, Ouyang Qiancheng, is it finally time to meet, look, this is the fate that can't be hidden.
Wang Zhi's face has always been very gloomy recently, and his status in the palace was once comparable to that of the emperor, but under the pressure of several layers inside and outside, his power shrank sharply overnight.
"Where is this going?" Wang Zhi looked at the two palace maids who passed in front of him.
"Back to the princess, this is sent to the queen's Fengxiang Palace."
"Give the things to our family, and our family will personally send them to the queen."
"This..."
"Huh?" Wang Zhi raised his eyebrows, and anger flashed in his eyes.
The two palace maids didn't dare to refuse, and quickly handed over the porcelain Gu in their hands.
Wang Zhi held the porcelain Gu in his hand and soon arrived at Fengxiang Palace.
"Minions, see the queen mother." The king made a big salute.
"Isn't this the prince? What kind of wind is blowing this now, blowing the prince to the palace. The queen sipped her teacup.
"The slave is not like the mother going around in circles, the slave is in a worrying situation now, and he is here today to seek the protection of the mother." Wang Zhi bowed and bowed.
The queen chuckled, and the beads in the phoenix's mouth trembled on her forehead: "Is the prince joking with the palace?" This palace is no longer comparable to the past, and now even the power of life and death in this harem is not controlled by this palace, what ability does this palace have to protect my father-in-law? Even if this palace has a heart, it is also powerless..."
Wang Zhi lowered his sharp eyes and said softly: "Although Concubine Rou is now a chicken dog ascending to heaven, in the final analysis, she is still a thing that cannot be put on the table. ”
The queen was still unmoved, and she couldn't see any change in her expression: "What my father-in-law said really hurts the feelings of this palace and Concubine Rou's sister, if it reaches His Majesty's ears, I'm afraid that others will think that the belly of this palace is too small to accommodate Sister Rou's sister." ”
Wang Zhi was resentful in his heart, the queen was playing Tai Chi with him, he would talk about it like this, but the queen was still unmoved, if it was in the past, he Wang Zhi said a word, even if it was the queen, he had to consider a few points before he dared to speak.
"Even if the queen mother doesn't think about herself, she should also think about His Royal Highness the Prince, although the slave is not as strong as before, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it will be of some use to the queen mother." Wang Zhi said slowly.
The queen did not speak, as if she was considering something in her mind.
