Chapter 867: Checks and Balances

In the courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di, who was dressed in a samurai robe, was playing a set of Tai Chi. I saw that his moves and styles were extremely slow, but there was a momentum of Mount Tai pressing the top, and every punch and kick carried a faint sound of wind and thunder, which made the onlookers breathless.

After a set of punches, Zhu Di's head was already full of white steam, and his face was a little ruddy. Zhu Zhanji hurriedly handed over the towel and said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang's miraculous skills are world-renowned. ”

Zhu Di took the towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed: "I'm old, and I can't do it anymore." ”

"You're not old," Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "You can clean me up with one hand." ”

"Of course." A smile appeared on Zhu Di's face and said, "I want to fight with Lao Tzu, you are still tender." ”

"That's that, that's." Zhu Zhanji responded with a smile and accompanied Zhu Di into the main hall.

"What's the matter with you?" Under Li Yan's service, Zhu Di changed into a dry brocade robe, and glanced at Zhu Zhanji, who was flickering beside him. "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go."

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanji looked surprised and said, "How does Grandpa Huang know that I have something to say?" ”

"As soon as you kid pouts his ass, I know what shit to pull." Zhu Di laughed, and after laughing, he looked at Zhu Zhanji quietly and said, "Say it, but I may not agree." ”

"It's not a grandson's private business." Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhu Di and said softly: "It's a state affair." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Zhanji with some surprise, he had long wanted Zhu Zhanji to practice state affairs, but this grandson was always very smart and perfunctory. The reason is very simple, as a grandson, as long as you don't make mistakes, you can wait for the succession. Boldly meddling in government affairs will not only arouse the suspicion of my grandfather, but also say and do too many wrongs. "When did you become interested in government affairs?"

"It's my grandson who reads history books these days and occasionally feels something." Zhu Zhanji said softly: "I came to ask the imperial grandfather for advice." ”

"What history books are you reading?"

"Tongjian." Zhu Zhanji replied softly.

"Hmm," Zhu Di nodded approvingly: "Sima Guang is not a sour literati, and it is beneficial to read more of his books...... Where do you see it now? ”

"The change of nectar." Zhu Zhanji still replied softly.

"Oh?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zhu Zhanji and said, "What do you feel?" ”

"The calamity of eunuchization is worse than that of foreign ministers." Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice.

"That's Li Xun Zheng Zhu two fools, and before the matter was successful, they began to fight for merit, so they put the emperor in danger." Zhu Di snorted.

"But the imperial grandfather can't deny it," Zhu Zhanji said slowly: "The so-called king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, and those eunuchs no longer regard themselves as human ministers!" ”

"......" Zhu Di finally stopped talking. After a while, he looked at Zhu Zhanji coldly and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

"My grandson is just a little worried, Dongchang and Jinyiwei stack the bed frame house, I am afraid it is not the blessing of the community." Zhu Zhanji finally said what was in his heart.

"I don't worry about Jinyiwei." Zhu Di's tone became hard, and his eyes looking at Zhu Zhanji became unkind, and he said in a deep voice: "You said this, Wang Xian instigated it behind his back, right?" ”

"No," Zhu Zhanji didn't dare to admit it, and shook his head categorically: "It's Sun Er's own worries." Paused and said: "The emperor's grandfather can't trust Jinyiwei, so let the East Factory monitor, but what if the East Factory also makes trouble?" ”

"I can trust Zhao Ying." Zhu Di snorted, a look of impatience obviously appeared on his face, and he waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, you can step down." ”

"Of course Zhao Ying is credible!" It's okay that Zhu Di didn't mention Zhao Ying, but when he mentioned him, Zhu Zhanji couldn't just stop there, and said loudly: "But he's a lot older, how many more years can he work?!" How can Grandpa Huang guarantee that his successor can also be trusted! ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect this question.

"Of course, the emperor's grandfather is wise and martial, and he is an emperor through the ages! Under your hands, no tiger or wolf dares to make trouble! Seeing that Zhu Di was stunned, Zhu Zhanji immediately hit the railway while it was hot: "But what about you after a thousand years?" Can the descendants who dare to protect future generations be able to control such a spy agency whose power is not restricted? A hundred years later, will this Dongchang constitute a disaster for the eunuch temple of this dynasty? Grandpa Huang has to think clearly! You must come down, it is the ancestral law that cannot be moved for eternity! ”

"......" Zhu Di was silent.

Zhu Di didn't give Zhu Zhanji a clear answer, so he sent him away.

After Zhu Zhanji left, Zhu Di paced back and forth in the main hall, his expression was cloudy, and he was obviously at war with heaven and man in his heart.

Li Yan stood aside, looking at his nose and his nose, hoping that the emperor would ignore his existence.

"Li Yan," but it backfired, Zhu Di still set his eyes on him, and asked faintly: "You say, is there still a credible person in this world?" ”

"The minion can't say it well," Li Yan lowered his eyebrows and said, "The minion only dares to guarantee his own loyalty......"

"Yes," Zhu Di nodded approvingly, and sighed: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and anyone may betray you......"

"......" Li Yan lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Give me a set of 'Zizhi Tongjian'," Zhu Di commanded in a deep voice......

The next day, in the hall where the plaque of 'ahead of the time' was hung in the Dongchang Yamen, the angry shouts of the old eunuch Zhao Ying sounded.

"What?! You repeat?! ”

"Yes, the factory man," the stall head said sneeringly: "The emperor has made an order, the East Factory will no longer recruit additional personnel, but will instead transfer personnel from the Jinyi Guard to serve on a regular basis......"

"Draw personnel from the Jinyi Guard, or serve on a regular basis?" Zhao Ying was furious and said, "Whose idea is this?" Where is this going to be in my East Factory?! ”

"The emperor saw the grandson yesterday afternoon, and then asked people to find out Zizhi Tongjian, locked himself in the upper study, and watched all night." The stall head hurriedly replied, "I made a decree this morning." ”

“……”

Zhao Ying stopped speaking with a gloomy face, and after a while, Cheng Ze, the eunuch in charge of the East Factory and the head of the second gear, couldn't help but speak: "Let the emperor do this, what are we doing, isn't it all in the eyes of Jinyiwei?" ”

"Who's to say it's not." The foreman eunuch of the East Factory, the head of the third gear, Huaizu thought deeply and said: "I'm afraid the emperor just wants us and Jinyiwei to supervise each other." ”

"Hey, why can't the emperor even believe us?" Cheng Ze sighed depressedly and said, "Can we, the minions, betray the emperor?" ”

"Say less." Huaizu looked at the black-faced factory father, and reminded Cheng Ze in a low voice: "Don't block the factory father." ”

"Wang Xian!" After being silent for a long time, the old eunuch Zhao Ying finally held back two words and smashed the tea cup on the table with one palm.

"Him?" Cheng Ze and Huai Zu looked at the factory in surprise, and they didn't know why this matter had anything to do with Wang Xian again.

"It must be his troublemaker!" Zhao Ying gritted his teeth and said: "He is unwilling to be controlled by us!" Just clamp each other! No one can help anyone! ”

"Yes!" Hearing the words of the factory father, Cheng Ze and Huaizu nodded approvingly.

The reason why the business development of the East Factory is slow, to a large extent, is that they put their main energy on Jinyiwei, and soon after the establishment of the East Factory, the East Factory continued to move the Jinyiwei, asking them to accept supervision, submit accounts, and go to the East Factory to collect and sign tickets before each action, and pay the tickets afterwards. Dongchang also sent a number of eunuchs to Jinyi Guard to monitor their every move on the spot.

Such an act naturally caused Jinyiwei to be extremely dissatisfied, but Dongchang didn't care, because this was something within their power and responsibility, and Jinyiwei couldn't help them. No matter how majestic your brocade guard is outside, in front of our father-in-law in Dongchang, even the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to lie down!

Now let the emperor make this play, the East Factory is not so comfortable - the people used are all Jinyiwei's people, and they can't hide their every move, and if they want to play prestige with Jinyiwei, they don't have that confidence.

"Can it be," everyone was depressed for a while, and Cheng Ze asked in a low voice, "Let the emperor change his mind?" ”

"How?" Huai Zubai glanced at him and said: "The factory publicizes that the emperor is sincere, if he opposes the people who use brocade clothes, what will the emperor think?" Do you think that the factory is pretending? ”

"Hey......" Cheng Ze sighed depressedly, and the old eunuch Zhao Ying's face was even darker than the bottom of the pot, but he still said toughly: "This prince is loyal to the country and sincere, even if the emperor doesn't say it, he will take the initiative to ask the emperor to send someone to supervise the East Factory!" ”

"Yes!" The stall leaders stood up solemnly and said loudly together: "Loyal to the country, through the ages!" I forgot just now, after hearing the emperor's arrangement, I beat my chest from top to bottom.

"Factory father," a fan came in from outside, and reported: "Uncle Zhongyong is here." ”

"What is he doing here?" The faces of the stall leaders were all black, and they knew that Wang Xian was making trouble behind this matter.

"Please!" Zhao Ying snorted coldly and shouted to all his subordinates: "Cheer up, let people look at it!" ”

"Whoa!" All the stall leaders responded in unison, got up from their chairs, stood solemnly on both sides in front of Zhao Ying, and looked at the direction where Wang Xian came menacingly......

"Hahaha!" Before Wang Xianren arrived, the hearty laughter came in first. Of course, this laughter fell on the ears of Zhao Ying and others, and you can imagine how arrogant it was.

"Hahaha!" The old eunuch Zhao Ying also laughed loudly, quite unwilling to show weakness.

"Father-in-law Zhao, my subordinates have come to listen to the errand!" Wang Xian's figure finally appeared in the conference hall, only to see that he was wearing a purple python official robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and behind him, he was escorted by more than a dozen masters such as Xianyun.

"Uncle said with a smile," Zhao Ying suppressed his smile and said, "How dare our family send you?" ”

"Hey," Wang Xian said with a smile: "The emperor's will is clear, the officers and soldiers are selected from the Jinyi Guard to listen to the errand in the East Factory, and I, the Governor of the Jinyi Guard, of course I have to lead by example." ”

"Hehe......" Zhao Ying smiled on his face, and scolded in his heart, with your style, do I dare to send you?!
