high official

Chapter 816 East Factory
As for escaping disguised as a monk, it was more of a coincidence, Master Hong Wu couldn't possibly count Yao Guangxiao as one.

"This is the number of days!" Zhu Di was relieved by the monk's words.

"Yes, the number of days." Zhu Di nodded, agreeing with the monk's statement.

"According to Emperor Taizu's wishes, after several of my monarchs and ministers were ordained, they were divided into numbers and allocated out of the palace. At that time, Huai En and Chang Mao protected me from the gate of hell, and I saw that your army was already outside the moat. I thought we couldn't escape now." Zhu Yunqi recalled: "The Duke of Wei sent a boat to pick us up from the river quietly."

"Is it also the arrangement of Emperor Taizu?" When mentioning his brother-in-law, Zhu Di's expression was very uncomfortable.

"Yes. He said that before Emperor Taizu died, he told him to prepare a boat and wait outside the ghost gate if there was a national crisis." The monk's eye circles turned red and he said, "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the toughness meets the loyal ministers... ..."

"Hmph..." Zhu Di snorted dissatisfiedly.

"I lost my composure." The monk smiled, and said no longer with emotion: "After leaving Beijing, I have been fleeing for more than ten years. Those who followed me have all passed away, and there are still three or five left, Your Majesty. Just let them go."

"It depends on them, will there be any trouble!" Zhu Di snorted coldly.

"No. Actually, I never threatened you," the monk looked at the emperor and said, "You don't need to mobilize people like this."

"I know, but it is inevitable that someone will want to take advantage of you, so for the long-term stability of Daming, I must find you." Zhu Di nodded.

"Now you have found it," the monk said with relief from the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, "Kill me, and you will be completely relieved."

"You didn't kill me back then," Zhu Di said with a sassy smile, "I won't kill you now either." He said with a smile, "I built a Qingshou Temple in the capital, originally for Yao Guangxiao..."

"I heard that he died." Mentioning this name, the monk's mood finally changed. Speaking of which, he was ruined by the old monk.

"Yeah." Zhu Di said lightly: "But the temple has already been built, you can go there and be an abbot."

"Hehehe..." Hearing Zhu Di's arrangement, the monk laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Di looked at the monk.

"If I knew this was the result, why would I have to run away for more than ten years?" The monk glanced at Zhu Di and said, "It's been too hard."

"Yeah, it's been too hard." Zhu Di looked at the monk with crow's feet at the corner of his eyes, and laughed too: "Let's have a peaceful life for a few days."

"Yes." The monk looked at Zhu Di, and said softly, "If one day, you feel that I am in the way, tell me in private, and I will kill myself, so as not to get blood on your hands."

"Before I die," Zhu Di thought about it, and said calmly, "There won't be that day."

The monk nodded. He already knew the date of his death, which was before Zhu Di passed away. "I'll let you rest assured then."

"Very good, you will live in the palace for the time being, and go to Beijing with me in the spring of next year." Zhu Di said, wanting to order his subordinates to take him down, only to realize that he still doesn't know his dharma name. "How do I call you? Yingwen?"

"Yes." The monk nodded.

"Take Master Yingwen to rest, don't neglect." Zhu Di stood up and watched the monk being escorted up. Only at this moment did he really look like a winner.

Looking at the dark night outside the gate of the palace, Zhu Di let out a long sigh of relief... Freed, finally freed, this 20-year grievance dispute finally ended today...

Standing there, Zhu Di was filled with emotions, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He looked at Zhao Ying who was quietly standing aside and said, "Do you think this matter is completely over?"

"There are still some remnants that need to be hunted down." The old eunuch said in a deep voice.

"You can deal with these small things as you see fit," Zhu Di said indifferently, "You don't have to worry too much about it, as long as they don't make trouble, it doesn't hurt to let them linger."

"Your Majesty is merciful." The old eunuch responded and asked, "Then, what about the two you caught earlier?" He was referring to Doctor Wu and Huai En.

"This kind of person who betrays his master and seeks to live should be shredded into pieces!" Zhu Di snorted and said, "Because they helped me find my nephew, let's leave their whole body."

"Understood." The old eunuch nodded, and said slowly: "This old servant kowtowed for their grace."

"You have made a great contribution this time, how do you want me to reward you?" Zhu Di shook his head and looked at the old eunuch.

"The old slave doesn't want any rewards," Zhao Ying said with a self-deprecating smile, "At this age and being alone, it's useless to ask for anything."

"But only if you are like this, will you be single-minded with me." Zhu Di thought for a while and said: "Besides, these recent things have given me some ideas..." After a pause, he said: "After all, Jin Yiwei is still separated by a layer. It's not as good as the inner prison, and it's not easy to use." He looked at the old eunuch and said: "I want you to set up a new yamen, responsible for detecting and monitoring courtiers, what do you think?"

"This..." Zhao Ying's brows twitched slightly. He knew that he had waited 20 years for his chance to become the most powerful and powerful person in Ming Dynasty.For this moment, he had made full preparations, but when this moment really came, his heart, which was accustomed to wind and rain, still couldn't help beating faster.

"What?" Zhu Di looked at him and said, "You don't want to do it?"

"Of course this old servant obeys the emperor's order," Zhao Yinggong said in a low voice, "I just don't know how this yamen is related to Jin Yiwei and the court's judiciary?"

"I've already made up my mind," Zhu Di said slowly, "Jin Yiwei monitors the imperial court, you come to monitor Jin Yiwei."

"Yes." Zhao Ying said softly, "Then what's the name of this yamen?"

"Let's call it the Police Department." Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "Outside Dong'an Gate, the barracks that used to belong to the Yumajian was assigned to you as a yamen. Well, it's more pleasant to call it the East Police Factory." He said and looked at it. Looking at the old eunuch, he said word by word, "Dongchang for short!"

"Observe the order!" Zhao Ying responded, "The old slave will let Dongchang become the emperor's powerful weapon for the country!"

"What a sharp weapon for the country, you really understand what I'm thinking." Zhu Di nodded approvingly.

.

The Jinyiwei yamen, when this institution resumes normal operation, will still be the most well-informed place in the world.

"What, the emperor wants to establish the East Factory?!" Hearing this news, Wang Xian frowned, and then sighed: "It seems that the emperor still doesn't trust us after all."

"My lord is the prince's man after all. After what happened with Ji Gang, to be honest, the emperor asked you to be the commander of the Jinyiwei, which surprised me." Yan Qing said slowly: "It turns out that Dongchang was prepared to monitor your lord." .”

"If you're so worried, why do you still use us?" Er Hei pouted depressedly, "Just give him a free job."

"Jin Yiwei is not a joke," Yan Qing shook his head and said, "There are more than a dozen provinces in the Kyushu and Wanfang of the Ming Dynasty. The territory ranges from North Korea to Annan, from the East China Sea to the Western Regions. Without the help of Jin Yiwei to spy on news and monitor officials, how can the emperor rest assured?" Don’t the officials and generals in those places make him empty?” He said suddenly: “So, Jin Yiwei’s position must not be shaken, but must be strengthened, and the most capable candidates must be selected to achieve this goal.” He looked at Seeing Wang Xiandao: "There is no one more suitable than my lord right now. So the emperor thought of such a countermeasure, which not only uses the lord's talent, but also prevents the lord from becoming the second Ji Gang."

"Dongchang, Dongchang..." Wang Xian chewed on these two simple words, and the turmoil in his heart was beyond the imagination of those present.No one knows better than him what kind of monster this will be, and how it will harm Daming until the country perishes.He never expected that this institution, which would make future generations shudder when mentioned, was quietly born before his eyes.

"Afraid of a ball!" Shuai Hui said disdainfully: "How many years have we Jin Yiwei, are we still afraid of a group of eunuchs?"

"That makes sense." Yang Rong smiled and said, "The East Factory hasn't been established yet, so why are we worrying about it. Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil."

"That's right." Everyone nodded and put the matter behind them. Only Wang Xian still looked solemn, thinking about how to deal with Dongchang.

"In addition," Deng Xiaoxian reported again: "The decree has come down, Doctor Wu and Huai En..." He looked at Wu Wei who was sitting in the corner, and after a while he whispered: "Death."

"..." Everyone was quiet all of a sudden, and Wu Wei sat there like a clay sculpture, and didn't move a bit until the meeting was over.

Erhei and others walked to Wu Wei's side and patted him on the shoulder to show comfort.Wang Xian looked at Wu Wei, sighed, turned and left without speaking.

.

As soon as the emperor's decree came, the old eunuch Zhao Ying took his disciples and grandchildren to the prison of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Before the establishment of the East Factory, Zhao Ying locked all the important prisoners in this imperial horse prison...the imperial horse prison, in the Yongle Dynasty, not only raised horses, but also helped the emperor command the forbidden soldiers!With the army in hand, and in the palace, the guards are directly guarded, the barracks are naturally heavily guarded, and the chief eunuch is Zhao Ying!

The cell is located in the inner courtyard of the Imperial Horse Prison. It used to be used to detain eunuchs who made mistakes. Now Wynn and Dr. Wu are locked in it. Count the past few days by counting the number of meals.

"I said, I should have been imprisoned for forty days." Doctor Wu thought about it and reported a number.

"21 days," Wynn disagreed: "There was a strong wind for two days, and they only delivered one meal."

"I know, that's also 20 days." Dr. Wu said to himself: "You are so old and foolish, it's not the right time."

"That's better than you, a traitor!" Wynn looked at Doctor Wu coldly, rushed towards him, and roared, "I'll kill you!"

As he said that, he waved his fists and feet, and hit Dr. Wu. Dr. Wu hurriedly saw the tricks and fought with him.

"It's opened again..." The eunuch guarding outside covered his ears depressedly. He didn't know why Eunuch Zhao locked up the life-and-death couple together. On the first day of being locked up, the two beat their lives like this ...To be precise, the old eunuch wanted the other's life, and the other one didn't want to be killed by him, so he could only stand up and resist.The two of them stayed in this small cell, fighting fiercely day after day.
