high official

Chapter 819 The beginning of everything is difficult
After listening to Wang Xian's explanation, Zhao Ying accepted the plaque very happily, and let someone hang it on the second hall. He felt that this kid was really his bosom friend... Although Zhao Ying was physically disabled, he was probably influenced by Yao Guangxiao. Bewitched, the ambition is very lofty, which can be seen from the four big characters on the archway outside the yamen, and the statue of Yue Fei that can be seen everywhere in the yamen.

Serve the country faithfully and live forever!Since ancient times, there is nothing more ambitious than this!So Zhao Ying was very satisfied with the four words Wang Xian sent.

Unexpectedly, after delivering the plaques and returning, Wang Xian and his group were laughing to and fro. Even an old master like Yan Qing, who was as serious as Yan Qing, clutched his stomach and said, "It's so wicked! It's so wicked!"

"Haha, my lord is just telling the truth," Shuai Hui rolled on the ground laughing, "The East Factory is full of eunuchs, of course it is ahead of time... never after!"

"Hahaha!" When everyone thought of the group of eunuchs putting that plaque on their heads, and facing the word "extremely" every day, their stomachs cramped from laughing.

After laughing, Yan Qing wiped away his tears and said, "If they come back to their senses, it will be a big problem."

"It's already been tied!" Wang Xian snorted coldly, his eyes shot out resentment. "The rumors about me and Xu Zhenren were spread by them!" With Wang Xian's character of vengeance, how could he suffer such a boring loss!
"Hey!" Yan Qing sighed helplessly. He thought that after defeating Ji Gang and the King of Han, the world would finally be peaceful and he would do more good deeds to avenge the people's grievances.Unexpectedly, another opponent appeared. "Are you going to start fighting again?"

"Fight, fight hard!" Everyone laughed and said indifferently: "It's so lonely without an opponent!"

"Okay!" Wang Xian saw that the group of guys were getting more and more indecorous, he berated them, and kicked them out, and comforted the worried Yan Qing in a gentle voice: "Master, don't worry, Dongchang will not be successful in a few years. I won't let them become popular either." He said with a smile, "So we won't fight so fiercely like Ji Gang."

"Hey." Yan Qing frowned and said, "Why do you have to fight? Haven't you fought enough with Ji Gang all these years?"

"I've had enough fights. I don't want to mess with anyone now, but Dongchang is the only exception." Wang Xian raised his brows and said in a deep voice, "If I don't fight this yamen down, I won't be able to sleep or eat!"

"Hey," Yan Qing said in a low voice, "My lord, don't bring personal grievances to business matters."

"I want to deal with Dongchang," Wang Xian shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "It's not because of personal grudges, but for Daming!" He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "For Daming, I must kill them!"

"..." Yan Qing looked at Wang Xian in confusion, wondering why he hated this newly established yamen so much?Is it really because of Daming?Yan Qing couldn't believe it...

Wang Xian didn't explain anymore, there are some things he can't explain, he can only understand by himself...

.

Compared with the huge Jinyiwei, the new Dongchang is indeed very weak.Under Wang Xian's instruction, Jin Yiwei secretly set up traps and stumbling blocks for Dongchang, which made the operation of Dongchang difficult, and there was no progress for several months.This made Zhao Ying, the "eunuch in charge of the imperial envoy to the East Factory official school", very angry.

It is no exaggeration to say that throughout the whole winter, the development of the East Factory did not exceed the range of the memorial archway outside the gate... In a few months, only a list of more than 40 officials of various sizes including foreman, foreman, and secretary was determined.There are only more than a hundred people who are responsible for the specific work below... It is not enough to even look after the home, let alone carry out detective work.

To put it bluntly, this winter, the people in Dongchang have been busy fighting for power and profit, wanting to occupy a good seat at the beginning of opening. As for the hard work of buying eyeliner and arranging surveillance outside, no fool is willing to do it.Can Zhao Ying not be angry?But he couldn't get angry again, because he wanted to serve the country loyally and live forever, and these people were all he could rely on... In the Yongle Dynasty, there were not too many eunuchs in the palace, and there were only 200 eunuchs in the palace. Many eunuchs.This is because the people in the palace gave him face and asked him to bring out more than half of it at once. How could Zhao Ying have the nerve to open his mouth again?

In the second hall of the East Factory, under the plaque of "Leading ahead and beyond the future", the old eunuch Zhao Ying, who was dressed in python clothes and had white beard and hair, looked much older than a few months ago, sitting on the tiger skin chair, looking at the Start the next batch of big and small stalls!
"What are you doing for food?!" Zhao Ying endured and endured, and finally couldn't help it this day: "The whole winter, even the monitoring of the capital has not made any progress!" After a pause, he said: "Today, the emperor asked Me, how is Dongchang? What can I say, of course it's going well!"

The heads of the stalls were breathless, and listened carefully to the complaints of the factory owner: "In the end, the emperor exposed our family with one word!" Zhao Ying said with a look of frustration: "The emperor asked me, today there are more than 70 Beijing officials. What are you doing?"

"It seems that there is such a thing..." A waiter whispered: "Officials in Beijing are getting together and doing some kind of New Year gathering."

"Our family did the same thing, but the emperor scolded me!" Zhao Ying said angrily, "The emperor said that those officials got together to discuss a joint letter to prevent the emperor from moving the capital! Such a big matter, They didn't hide it, and Dongchang couldn't even find out, so what do you need?!"

"Master, please calm down." All the stallholders hurriedly appeased Zhao Ying and said, "Aren't we too short of manpower, it's okay to deal with a special case, and we want to monitor the whole capital, this manpower is not enough."

"That's right, not to mention that we still have to stick to the world." The heads of the stalls nodded and said: "Master, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and it's hard for a famous general to fight without soldiers. We don't have anyone in our hands, how can we do business?!"

"Is there no one who won't recruit?!" Zhao Ying said angrily: "There are people everywhere on the street, from three religions and nine out of five schools, and some of them are suitable to be our eyes and ears!"

It's fine if he doesn't mention this issue, but when he mentioned this issue, everyone immediately burst into tears. "Those local snakes in the capital were subdued by Jin Yiwei. Once they heard that it was our business, they dared not take it for any amount!"

"That's right, Mr. Factory, it's all because Jin Yiwei is behind us, that's why we can't move an inch." Everyone said angrily, "Mr. Factory, we can't let them bully us like this!"

"..." Although he knew that these guys were looking for excuses, Zhao Ying still nodded bitterly, and said through gritted teeth: "Okay, I'm looking for someone important to the emperor! If you wait for someone to arrive, don't blame me Our family is ruthless!"

"That's for sure!" Everyone nodded
"I hope so!" Zhao Ying snorted, got up and left with a flick of his sleeves.

.

The old cow knows that the sunset is late, so he doesn't need to raise his whip.Zhao Ying, who is determined to be famous forever, is very powerful in action. After noon that day, he went to the palace to ask the emperor for instructions, hoping to recruit capable people from the army and yamen to supplement the strength of Dongchang, and follow the example of Jin Yiwei in recruiting talents in the Jianghu Shi... Zhao Ying reported to the emperor that the main purpose of the latter item was actually to ask for money.

Zhu Di was still very concerned about the affairs of Dongchang. Seeing that they had been struggling for several months, he knew that it was impossible to want the horse to run fast and also want the horse not to eat grass.It is still necessary to give them enough support to make Dongchang grow rapidly.So Zhu Di swiped his pen and asked the cabinet to draft a decree and follow what Zhao Ying said.

Seeing that the emperor agreed, Zhao Ying left happily.As soon as Zhu Di's note reached the cabinet, it shocked several cabinet ministers.

"How much will it cost to follow the example of Jin Yiwei and expand the East Factory?" Hu Yan looked at Zhu Di's note and sighed, "Xia Shangshu's hair is going to be gray again."

"Spending money is a trivial matter, the key is where the money is spent!" Jin Youzi said solemnly: "If Dongchang really grows, it will be much more terrifying than Jinyiwei!"

"Don't say it's more terrifying than Jinyiwei, even if it's like Jinyiwei, the people in the government and the public can't stand it." Yang Rong sighed: "If the two sides compete for merit, I don't know how many unjust prisons will be created and how many subjects will be harmed!"

"Emperor Taizu has training, and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics!" Yang Shiqi said in a deep voice, "This Zhao Ying is very ambitious. I think he wants to break Daming's ancestral precepts!"

"You mean..." Hu Yan's face turned pale, and his voice trembled, "Eunuch intervening in politics?"

Yang Shiqi nodded slowly, and Yang Rong and Jin Youzi also nodded solemnly.Civil officials fear spy politics from the bottom of their hearts, and they are extremely disgusted with eunuchs interfering in politics.And Dongchang is a mixture of spy politics and eunuchs intervening in politics. How can these cabinet ministers with extremely keen political sense not be full of vigilance against this institution spawned by imperial power? !
"We must pay attention to it, and kill Dongchang in the bud!" Yang Rong's political judgment has always been very sophisticated. He pondered for a while, and then said decisively: "Otherwise, if we let it grow, we may become sinners of history. .”

"That's right, one hungry wolf in Jin Yiwei is enough for people to suffer. If another one is added, Daming will really become a world of secret agents..." Jin Youzi lowered his voice: "We must take advantage of this wolf's young age to feed the wolf." It was killed with a stick!"

"It's not easy," Hu Yan shook his head and said, "The emperor's establishment of the East Factory was not a whim, but the suspicion of his courtiers, which led to the birth of this product." After finishing speaking, he sighed: "The more we object, I am afraid the emperor will The more I will persist, and I will spare no effort to support.”

"Yuan Fu is right," Yang Rong nodded, and echoed Hu Yan, "We must think long-term, and be careful not to backfire."

"That's right," Yang Shiqi also agreed, "And we're not good at this kind of thing, so let someone more experienced do it."

"You mean..." Jin Youzi said softly, "Wang Xian?"

"That's right," Yang Shiqi nodded, and said slowly, "I think the plan to deal with Jinyiwei can be put aside first, and we should work with them to wipe out the East Factory first."

"Can he agree?" Jin Youzi asked.

"It will definitely." Yang Shiqi couldn't help but said, "On the day the East Factory was established, Wang Xian sent them a plaque, and the inscription on it was 'Beyond the Future...'"

As expected of scholars, all the scholars understood what it meant when they heard it, and they all burst out laughing!
