East Factory Governor

Chapter 106 Promoted to Gang Leader
Qin Shuhuai collected his thoughts, and said to Chongzhen, "When the emperor said this, I really felt a chill down my spine. Dongchang wants to keep the Jianghe gang, and also hides the secret scroll of the three treasures, so I don't know that Cao What is the duke thinking in his heart?"

Although he didn't explicitly say that Cao Huachun's intentions were wrong, but it was already quite fruitless.Now, he is completely a courtier who slanders and deceives the Lord, and he is step by step inducing Chongzhen to deepen his suspicion of Dongchang.

Dongchang is the barrier of imperial power, and it is insurmountable for him. Only with the help of Chongzhen can he slowly dismantle it, just like he dismantled the barrier of Liaodong with his own hands.But the difference is that after the demolition of Dongchang, I will help him rebuild it, but the rebuilt Dongchang will no longer be a barrier for Chongzhen alone, but a barrier for nearly [-] million people in the entire Ming Dynasty!
So, he didn't feel guilty at all.Moreover, he intends to treat this courtier more thoroughly.

Chongzhen was still angry, smiled coldly, and said, "It's not just you, even I feel creepy! He, Cao Huachun, wants the Jianghe Gang and the Three Treasures Secret Scroll. I'm afraid that in a few years, there will be no one in the world that he dare not ask for." !"

Gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, Chongzhen's anger was completely written on his face.

This is the wrath of the emperor, and it is also the wrath of a hot-blooded young man.The Chongzhen Emperor was overwhelmed by anger at this time.This kind of anger stems from the betrayal of the most trusted person, and it also stems from the frustration of filling a hole by oneself, but digging another hole with his own hands.

Qin Shuhuai never imagined that the few scapegoats he had slapped on would have such a big effect.

After a while, Chongzhen finally calmed down.

The young emperor showed his calm side again.The anger in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by a determination as firm as Mount Tai and a self-confidence that surpassed everything.

If he can get rid of Wei Zhongxian, he can get rid of Cao Huachun.He can make Cao Huachun ascend to the position of governor, and he can pull him down again with his own hands.Just as in history, he can remove and replace the chief minister of the cabinet at will, and he has never lost in this kind of matter.

He calmly said to Qin Shuhuai, "Shuhuai, in the Jianghe Gang, how many people can you control now?"

Qin Shuhuai was startled, but immediately said, "About two halls."

Chongzhen nodded slowly, and said, "That's enough! Take care of your wounds first, and after three days, I will let you return to the Jianghe Gang and take over the position of leader!"

Qin Shuhuai was startled, he didn't expect Chongzhen to be so urgent.Is this a signal for him to start a war against Cao Huachun?
He couldn't help reminding, "Your Majesty, Dongchang has been running the Jianghe Gang for a long time. If you rashly withdraw Qi Jin and Li Daliang, it may cause quite a commotion. More importantly, this move is tantamount to telling Dongchang that the Emperor has told them War has been declared, and I'm afraid that time will come."

Chongzhen snorted coldly, "I have my own discretion, you just need to be ready to take over the Jianghe Gang. In addition, I will send someone to help you, so you don't need to worry."

When Chongzhen's words reached this point, Qin Shuhuai had nothing to say.

He believed in Chongzhen's skills in this regard.

Then the next step is to prepare to take over the Jianghe gang.

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he got up and left.When he got to the door, he suddenly turned back.

Looking at Qin Shuhuai, Chongzhen said meaningfully, "Brother Qin, I really treat you as a brother and a confidant. If you don't fail me, I will never fail you."

After speaking, he opened the door and walked out.

Outside the house, came the eunuch's high-pitched and shrill voice.

"The emperor starts driving~~"

Qin Shuhuai closed his eyes, and his heart was slightly turbulent.Chongzhen will eventually become the Chongzhen who doubts everything.When he found that none of the most trusted people around him were so reliable, his suspicions were getting worse day by day.

If you don't obey me, I will never fail you
Now do I owe you, or do I not blame you?
Three days later, Sun Chengzong came to Qin Shuhuai with Chongzhen's oral order.

"Little friend Shuhuai, the emperor specially asked the old man to give you an oral order, and he asked you to return to the Jianghe Gang as soon as possible to be the leader of the gang, and to rectify the gang affairs!"

Qin Shuhuai immediately knelt down to accept the decree to thank him, and then asked, "Mr. Sun Ge, has the emperor at the East Factory greeted me well?"

Sun Chengzong said, "That's natural. You are the emperor's official leader. Is it possible that Dongchang still has objections? Besides, the emperor has already reprimanded Cao Huachun and asked him to restrain his subordinates. If the same thing happened last time, he is the only one to ask." Cao Huachun argued that the last time Qi Jin chased and killed you was a misunderstanding, and said that he would definitely investigate this matter seriously and give the emperor an explanation."

Qin Shuhuai asked with great interest, "Then what happened later? How did Cao Huachun deal with Qi and Jin?"

Sun Chengzong smiled helplessly, and said, "What else can I do? It's only eighty sticks."

Eighty sticks can be fatal for a civil servant, but for a person of Qi Jin's cultivation level, it's nothing more than scratching an itch, and it's really not a punishment.

Qin Shuhuai smiled unwillingly, "It's really cheap for him."

"Cheap? This time he is much cheaper!" Sun Chengzong said again, "As soon as Dongchang was fined, the emperor gave him sweet dates to eat. Because of Qi Jin's meritorious service in building a gang, he was promoted to be the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, he was added to the prince's Shaobao, and he was rewarded with a boa robe. Give 300 taels of gold. Boy, the emperor spent a lot of money to get you in the position!"

Qin Shuhuai smiled lightly, Chongzhen's move was not beyond his expectation.Qi and Jin are meritorious, and those who have meritorious deeds must be rewarded. This is a means for the ruler to control them.Moreover, since Chongzhen clearly wanted to go to Jianghe to help his own people, he must give Dongchang some comfort, showing that he did not mean to suspect them.

This young emperor's city is extremely deep, even if he has to deal with Dongchang, he will not be bored with a stick. He is best at boiling frogs in warm water, just like when he dealt with Wei Zhongxian back then.

I wonder how Cao Huachun feels now?
Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai said again, "Then the Jianghe gang, is Li Daliang the only one left in Dongchang?"

Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and said, "That's right, he is still manipulating the Jianghe Gang behind the scenes, and you still have to report to him, but you don't have to listen to him. He never shows up in the Jianghe Gang. People who are above the Dharma protector know him. So once you become the leader of the sect, you can completely empty him out. Of course, this person is very powerful in martial arts, so you must guard against him."

Qin Shuhuai nodded, "This man's martial arts are really unfathomable, but now he can't move him, it's really a trouble."

Guessing in his heart, Chongzhen transferred Qi Jin and left Li Daliang, mainly because he didn't want to stimulate Dongchang too much.However, there is another feeling faintly, that is, Chongzhen does not completely trust himself, and he left Li Daliang probably to check and balance himself.

Thinking of this, he asked again, "Mr. Sun Ge, the emperor said before that he would find someone to help me, but who did he turn to?"

Sun Chengzong said, "It's the other two big inner guards. One of them is the deputy gang leader and the other is the left guardian. These two are the best of the best, and they are quite strategic. They can not only protect you, but also help you with advice. You have to make good use of them."

Qin Shuhuai became more convinced of his thoughts.In addition to protecting themselves, the Chongzhen sent these two people to have a greater task of dividing their own power and monitoring themselves.But if you really have a different heart, what's the use of these two people alone?
Can't help shaking his head slightly, sighing lightly.

In the current Chongzhen, it seems that everyone is like a grassroots soldier. Although he is in a high position, he is always in a constant state of panic. He is always tense and wary of everyone around him, even the people he trusted and was closest to.

This kind of pain is really pitiful.

Thinking of that high-spirited and high-spirited young hero that afternoon, Qin Shuhuai couldn't help but sigh.Chongzhen is also a victim of this era!
