Zhao Changqing personally helped Zhao Gao up, Zhao Gao was extremely frightened, and only heard Zhao Changqing, who is now His Majesty the Emperor, say:

"In the future, you don't need to call yourself a slave, you will be given a privilege, in front of me, you can call yourself a micro-minister. ”

When Zhao Gao heard this, he was very excited, and seeing that he was about to kneel down with gratitude, Zhao Changqing waved his hand to him and said, "You go down to integrate the factory guard, the people are handed over to you, how to do it, it's your business." ”

Zhao Changqing has a very limited understanding of the depiction of Zhao Gao in history, and only knows that he is a traitor.

Since he is a traitor, he will definitely smoothly publicize the name of the factory guard's evil deeds, which will cause panic.

After Zhao Gao heard the sound, he slowly retreated, he pressed his body very low, and he didn't dare to raise his head before exiting the palace gate.

After seeing Zhao Gao leaving, Zhao Changqing personally wrote a holy decree and asked the eunuch to send it to the center.

After Zhao Gao returned to his residence, he immediately called Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian to discuss things together.

"The two of you should be clear at this moment, right? Your Majesty has trusted us by letting us set up a factory guard, we have to do this errand well, otherwise, we will die unforgivingly!" Zhao Gao said with his hands high and his fists clenched.

Liu Jin thought carefully, thought for a while, and said: "But this is a chore! Isn't it obvious that the establishment of factory guards, the supervision of hundreds of officials, and the right to give us the right to cut first and then play will not be clearly pushed to the opposite side of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs?"

If one day Your Majesty does not trust me and waits, I am afraid that what awaits me will be a catastrophe, this errand that offends people......"

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on Liu Jin's face by Zhao Gao with a gloomy face.

After this slap, Zhao Gao immediately said: "Can our family not understand these things? But who are we? We are eunuchs! What is a eunuch? It is His Majesty's minister!"

Who gave you the audacity to wantonly discuss Your Majesty's decision-making behind your back? As ministers, what we need is to obey! Obey all Your Majesty's orders, and be the sharpest knife and the sharpest eyes in Your Majesty's hands.

In the future, if our family hears any of you dare to talk about Your Majesty behind your back, we will not forgive you!"

Liu Jin was taken aback and hurriedly knelt down.

Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to express his attitude, "Lord Zhao, my subordinates must do this errand well for Your Majesty." ”

"Hmm. Zhao Gao pulled a long note and expressed his satisfaction.

He picked up Liu Jin and said: "In the future, you will remember to our family, we are born as His Majesty's people, and death is His Majesty's ghost, if you dare to have two hearts, our family will definitely be the first to kill you." ”

Liu Jin hurriedly said 'yes, yes, yes', and said that he would definitely repent.

Zhao Gao nodded and said, "Although Your Majesty did not give us a deadline to let us build the factory guard." But this matter, sooner rather than later.

Moreover, His Majesty also said that we should wait for our good news, let us first handle a few big cases to deter the hundred officials, so after the factory and the guard are built in the past two days, you will give me at all costs, find a few evidence of corruption by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and strictly investigate and deal with it. ”

Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian immediately made a decision.

If Zhao Changqing heard what Zhao Gao said at this time, he would definitely have high blood pressure and low blood sugar...

In the end, this Zhao Gao still didn't understand what Zhao Changqing meant!

What kind of corrupt officials are to be handled? What are corrupt officials? That is the 'pillar' of the country's society, can corrupt officials do it?

Shouldn't a real factory guard form a party for personal gain? Shouldn't he collude with Peng Yu? Shouldn't he frame Zhongliang?

The news that His Majesty reused eunuchs and wanted to build a factory guard was instantly known by the six Shangshu.

In the province of Zhongshu.

The six Shangshu gathered here to discuss this matter.

"Big guys, let's talk about their opinions, right? Your Majesty reuses eunuchs, what do you have in mind?" Xu Ming, the secretary of the military department, took the lead in getting straight to the topic.

Huang Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "No matter what thoughts and thoughts you have, this new dynasty has just been established, and it has always been influential in the country and the country. ”

Jiang Wei, the secretary of the ministry, said: "According to the old man's intentions, Your Majesty's move is actually to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, and it is intended to deter us and others." In the future, with the control of the factory guard, it will be difficult for us to do something. ”

Shangshu Ma Cang of the Criminal Department snorted coldly and said: "In the final analysis, Your Majesty still doesn't trust us, if he trusts us, he won't have sent Zhuge Liang to monitor us in the matter of the twists and turns accumulated in the past few days, and now he has made a factory guard!"

According to the old man, what can those eunuchs do? As long as we can stabilize it, it won't be a few years before the court will still be our world. ”

Chen Yan, the head of the household, sneered: "Master Ma, you can't help but think things too simply, our majesty, in my opinion, is even wiser than the first emperor!"

At that time, we were able to stay as immobile in the imperial court, and to a large extent, it was due to the benevolence of Emperor Renzong and the deep-rooted power between the factions.

But now is different from the past, in order to check and balance us, His Majesty has begun to reuse eunuchs, first cut and then play, imperial power concession, in the future, this factory guard will be a knife hanging on our necks!

What are eunuchs? Eunuchs are just a bunch of lonely people, and if they want to do something to us, they don't have any worries among their henchmen!"

Huang Cheng frowned and said, "What Lord Chen said, isn't it a little too alarmist?"

"Alarmist?" Chen Yan said when he heard this: "The old man is by no means alarmist at this point! After the factory guard is established, you will wait and see!"

In the past, when Emperor Renzong was in power, his eyes were only in the palace, but now that the factory guard has been established, the eyes of our majesty will be able to know everything from all over the country at any time!

At that time, all of you here, who can resist His Majesty's eyes?

Zeng Lin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, gritted his teeth, frowned tightly, and said viciously: "Then we will nip the organization of the factory guard in the bud, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the county guards are on the way to the pilgrimage, and the political situation in various places needs to be stable."

Therefore, at the time of His Majesty's employment, he needs us to stabilize the turbulent situation throughout the country for him, and take advantage of this opportunity, if we unite and admonish His Majesty not to set up factory guards, there is a seventy percent probability that we can succeed!

On the grounds that the eunuchs are in turmoil! Ladies and gentlemen, once Your Majesty succeeds in establishing a factory guard, we will not have a good life! And this is the only time for us to bargain with Your Majesty.

Once the places are stabilized, there will be no place for us to wait, and when the time comes, it will be pigs and sheep on the board, to be slaughtered!"

After hearing this, everyone was silent, and after a while, Jiang Wei raised his head and said: "What Lord Zeng said is true, at present, we should put aside our prejudices against each other, unite as one, and persuade Your Majesty not to reuse eunuchs in the morning tomorrow." ”

They all agreed, and each said righteousness and solemnity,

"That's right! We can't let the eunuchs mess with the government, otherwise the country will not be a country!"

"The reuse of eunuchs, contradicting etiquette, and violating the ancestral system, wait for tomorrow morning, listen to the heavens, and ask Your Majesty to take back your fame!"

"That's right, supervising hundreds of officials, with their own speech officials, criminal departments, and other organizations, why do you need to have an extra Dongchang?

“......”

They who are scholars always like to put themselves above the general righteousness.

Outside Beijing.

Small bridge next to the flowing water.

Zhuge Liang sat on the ground, wearing a straw hat and a cloth coat, and was accompanying his family to fish leisurely.

After a while, Xiao Yuming came.

After a while, Cao Shen also came.

They all came for Zhao Changqing's desire to build the East Factory.

After they told Zhuge Liang about the cause and effect, who knew that he just treated it indifferently and smiled.

Cao Shen was puzzled and asked: "Prime Minister, it's all at this time, why are you still laughing? Your Majesty's reuse of eunuchs is an ominous omen!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said calmly: "Gong Cao's words are wrong, Your Majesty wants to build the East Factory, and its purpose is already very clear, that is, to monitor hundreds of officials, to use the organization of factory guards to better contain civil and military officials."

As for why eunuchs are used, it is because the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty look down on eunuchs, and the eunuchs themselves can only be a lonely person. In this way, the matter of factory health can be promoted. ”

When the words fell, a big fish happened to be hooked, Zhuge Liang hurriedly waved the fishing rod, put the big fish in the cage, and then said with a smile: "You can rest assured, our emperor's majesty is wise in his heart."

The construction of the factory guard is also to better curb the feudal towns around the country, the first battle of Chang'an, the army of the local towns has a tendency to be self-respecting by mercenaries, and the factory guard, responsible for supervising the hundred officials, has the right to cut first and then play, from then on, how can the local towns still have the heart of disobedience?

In this way, the governance of imperial power will be increased, and the Great Wei will be able to prosper in the shortest possible time. ”

Cao Shen and Xiao Yuming looked at each other, and they all said in unison: "It turns out that there are so many things hidden behind the establishment of the factory guard? Your Majesty is really long-term and very human. ”

Zhao Changqing: ......
