East Factory Governor

Chapter 575 Ancestral system?

Qin Shuhuai suppressed the longing in his heart, and tried his best to say in a flat tone, "Don't dare to give advice. This Marquis believes that there are only two ways at present."

"Master Hou, please make it clear that our family is all ears."

"Firstly, Governor Cao will continue to sit in Dongchang. At that time, the Marquis will search all over the rivers and lakes for a way to relieve the Duke's injury, not to mention the big schools like Shaolin and Wudang, or the genius doctors A, B, and C of the Demon Cult. They have a way to heal Cao Dugong’s wounds, so this Marquis will definitely invite them. If they don’t come, I will turn into a bad guy at worst, so I will go and grab them.”

Cao Huachun said with a wry smile, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your kindness. It's just that our family knows that Hua Tuo will not be cured if Hua Tuo is reborn, so I don't need to bother Lord Hou. Lord Hou will talk about the second method." Bar."

Qin Shuhuai's favor has already been achieved, since Cao Huachun declined, he will not force it.

After adjusting his mood, he said unhurriedly, "This second method is a ground-breaking method. I wonder if Duke Cao would dare to listen to it?"

Cao Huachun said, "Master Hou, let's say, although our family is weak, we won't be frightened by a few words."

Qin Shuhuai nodded, "Well, the second solution that Benhou wants to talk about is that." He paused, looked at Cao Huachun's chaotic but sharp eyes, and said, "Give Dongchang to me!"

The tip of one of Cao Huachun's fingers moved slightly, and his long nails scratched the armrest of the pear wood chair, drawing a shallow mark.

On the one hand, he was surprised, but on the other hand, he felt strange.

He was surprised that Qin Shuhuai would come up with such a bizarre idea, and what was even more surprising was that Qin Shuhuai would take a fancy to his Dongchang.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Qin Shuhuai not to know that the position of Governor of the East Factory has been occupied by eunuchs since the beginning of the dynasty. He is an upright man, and he is also an important minister of the cabinet. How can he hold the post of Governor of the East Factory?

What's even more strange is that Qin Shuhuai is already so powerful that it is not an exaggeration to say that he can turn his hands into clouds and rain. If he wants more power, he can take this opportunity to ask the emperor for the governor of Liaodong, or the governor of the three sides. The emperor had no choice but to give him a job, so why did he focus on his own Dongchang?
A governor of the East Factory, is he so attractive to him?

Not only Cao Huachun couldn't figure it out, even Qin Shuhuai himself couldn't figure it out.

To be honest, with his current power, whether he should be the governor of the East Factory or not has really little impact on whether he can keep Daming and reopen the prosperous age.But the problem is that the system stipulates that he must become the governor of the East Factory. What can he do?
Of course, if he becomes the governor of Dongchang, it will be much easier to purge the Donglin Party in the future, so this is also an important argument for him to lobby Cao Huachun now.

Cao Huachun thought he was scheming, but he couldn't figure out the purpose of Qin Shuhuai's move.

Is he trying to control the East Factory to facilitate rebellion?This is unlikely.Because with his power, if he wanted to rebel, he would not need the help of tens of thousands of people from Dongchang.Moreover, everyone in Dongchang is loyal to the emperor, even if he wants to pull Dongchang to rebel, it is impossible. How could he not know this due to his scheming?

What's more, if he wants to rebel, he should hide his ambition at this time. Why should he expose his ambition for the unnecessary bargaining chip of Dongchang?
Qin Shuhuai would never be so stupid, he would never!
After thinking hard for a long time, Cao Huachun coughed lightly and said, "My family doesn't seem to understand what Lord Qin meant."

Qin Shuhuai said again, "Duke Cao, let me tell you a heart-to-heart word. Regarding Dongchang, apart from trusting you, the Marquis can only trust himself. Wang Chengen's success is not enough to fail, and Wang Dehua sees the wind blowing the rudder and the wind blows the wall down. Not enough to be qualified for the post of governor of Dongchang, and it may even ruin the plan to wipe out Donglin! The cleanup of the Donglin party can only be done overnight, and there is no room for any mistakes, otherwise the governors of all places will inevitably stand on their own. It will be endless, and we will all be sinners of history!"

In one word, Cao Huachun couldn't find any reason to refute.Indeed, if there is a mistake in any part of the elimination of Donglin, such as the plan to leak secrets in advance, can the governors of all regions rebel immediately?

"So, if Dugong Cao does not take charge of Dongchang, then only this Marquis will be in charge! If it were anyone else, this Marquis would not believe it! The elimination of Donglin is related to the prosperity and decline of the Ming Dynasty, and it is related to the wealth of the [-] million Li people. Life, if a fool spoils the overall situation, then all the painstaking efforts of this Marquis will be in vain! Those soldiers will also sacrifice in vain!"

What Qin Shuhuai said was categorical, leaving no room for negotiation.

Cao Huachun's words to Qin Shuhuai were irrefutable, but he couldn't convince himself to give Qin Shuhuai the position of governor of the East Factory.

After pondering for a while, he said, "What Hou Ye said is indeed reasonable, but since the beginning of the dynasty, the position of governor of the East Factory has always been held by the eunuch in the palace. It would be against the law if the Hou Ye took over all at once. The ancestral system, not only the officials will not agree to it, but also the emperor will not agree to it in our family's opinion."

Qin Shuhuai smiled inexplicably, and then said word by word, "Ancestral system? Back then, Taizong raised troops to abolish Emperor Jianwen, which was the first of this dynasty's vassal kings to seize the throne. Is it a violation of the ancestral system? Jinyiwei was restored, and Dongchang was opened, is it a violation of the ancestral system? But, who dares to say that Taizong is not a holy lord? Who dares to say that Yongle was not a prosperous age where people live and work in peace and contentment?"

After a pause, he said sincerely again, "Duke Cao, as the saying goes, neither abolish nor establish! Times have changed, look at what the Ming Dynasty has become now? If we always follow the ancestral system and hold on to the incomplete, we will be the ones waiting for you." No matter how capable a person with lofty ideals is, he is determined to be powerless! To be honest, if Qin Mou wants to be rich for a lifetime, he can get it at his fingertips! Who will be in charge of Dongchang in the future, and who will rule the ups and downs of Ming Dynasty in the future has nothing to do with Qin Mou! But if Qin Mou wants to To realize the great wish in my heart and fulfill the promise I made to the emperor that day, Qin must be in charge of the East Factory!"

Qin Shuhuai's words were both subtle and explicit.He said that he wanted a lifetime of wealth and wealth at his fingertips, which was an implicit statement, but Cao Huachun could hear that what Qin Shuhuai wanted to say was that if he wanted to rebel, it would be easy for him, and no one could stop him, and it didn't matter whether he was in charge of the East Factory or not.But if he wants to help Chongzhen get rid of the Donglin Party and stabilize the world, he must rely on Dongchang.

Cao Huachun still couldn't find a reason to refute Qin Shuhuai, because anyone who had a clear understanding of the situation knew it was the truth.

He thought for a while, and said, "Master Hou, it's easy for one person to understand this truth, but it's very difficult for everyone to understand."

Qin Shuhuai said, "No, I don't need everyone to understand! As long as you understand, my Majesty, the Emperor understands!"

"What does Lord Hou mean?"

"If Dugong Cao is here, this Marquis will cooperate sincerely with Dugong. If Dugong Cao withdraws, please make sure that Dugong's seal is handed over to Benhou!"

Cao Huachun sighed in his heart: The meaning of Lord Qin is to let our family and the emperor recommend him as the next governor of Dongchang!That's right, only those recommended by our family will be accepted by the guys from Dongchang.

From a rational point of view, Cao Huachun fully believed that Qin Shuhuai was not in charge of Dongchang for the purpose of rebellion.If Qin Shuhuai wants to rebel, there are ten thousand ways, why bother to take charge of the East Factory?And why do so many things to offend the Donglin Party, wouldn't it be better to let the Donglin Party continue to harm the court?
But from an emotional point of view, it was difficult for Cao Huachun to convince himself to let a person who was not an eunuch be in charge of Dongchang.This matter really broke through the limit of his imagination.

He has always been decisive in doing things, but in this matter, he was unable to make a judgment for a while.

Then, you can only think slowly.

So he said, "Master Hou, our family is a little tired. I really can't sit for a long time with my body, but Master Hou is still Haihan."

Qin Shuhuai understood what Cao Huachun meant, so he got up and said, "Then I won't bother you. Governor Cao should rest earlier, it's important to take care of your health."
