different devil life

"Have you forgotten how I dealt with the Queen Mother before?"

"Anything out of nothing?"

"That's right, it was created out of nothing. After Huang Qiren died, I announced to the outside world that he had been arrested, and he confessed to his accomplices, companion. Come and analyze, who else should be eliminated around Lu Zhongbo!"

After listening to Wang Zhong's explanation, He Taigao was quite impressed.

Your Majesty is playing things out of nothing to the extreme.

After thinking for a while, He Taigao said: "Your Majesty, if you want me to tell you, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has corrupted the national treasury too much, and it will be very troublesome. It is better to start from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Wang Zhong thought so too. The Ministry of Internal Affairs manages the national treasury. In the future, many houses of corrupt officials will be copied. It is not at ease to hand over the money to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for management.

"I remember that the House of Internal Affairs is managed by Wang Shilang, right? Immediately order the arrest of Wang Shilang's family!"

"The old slave will go right away."

........................

The plan went smoothly, thanks to Wang Zhong walking ahead every step of the way.

At the same time, he used thunder to eliminate the unstable factors around him, so that it would be impossible for the enemy to know his next plan.

In addition, fortunately, he has a group of Imperial Forest Army in the palace.

It is precisely because of this group of troops that Lu Dang's people dare not act rashly.

But thinking about it in retrospect, if there were no Imperial Forest Army, the previous cowardly emperors would have given way to Lu Zhongbo long ago.

Now, Wang Shilang's family has also been arrested, and Wang Zhong carried out a bloody cleanup in the House of Internal Affairs, causing public grievances to boil for a while.

Of course, the public complaints were caused by the family members of several high-ranking officials who had their homes ransacked before. In addition, people from the Lu Party realized that something was wrong and asked to see the emperor one after another.

Wang Zhong knew that his actions during this period had aroused the anger of the Lu party, and he might be forced into the palace.

Forcing the palace is different from rebellion. Rebellion can be directly suppressed by sending troops, but forcing the palace is not.

Forcing the palace means that the ministers are dissatisfied with your policy, which is almost the same as a strike.

If your emperor doesn't change the policy, then so many of us will quit. It depends on how your whole country works.

At this time, the emperor cannot kill people, otherwise more and more people will turn against him.

Although Wang Zhong has the Imperial Forest Army in his hands, if there is a fight, the whole country will be in chaos. This is not what Wang Zhong wants to see.

At first, Wang Zhong was planning to delay the time and not go to the morning court, but one of these ministers, Lu Dang, was missing.

But not long after, more than a dozen ministers jointly asked to see him, otherwise they would not be able to kneel outside.

"Okay, just kneel and let them cool down for a few days."

Wang Zhong said indifferently, then counted the time, the empress wanted him to be rescued, and it was almost time for him to be sentenced.

........................

"Big companion, Governor Lu Yingping is going to try a corruption case of a man named Mengti recently. You should go to the jail and rescue Mengti."

That night, Wang Zhong arranged for He Taigao to go out on errands.

"The old slave will go right away."

He Taigao didn't dare to neglect, and hurried out.

Looking at He Taigao's back, Wang Zhong lamented that there are still too few people available to him.

After He Taigao has been busy these days, his gray hair has obviously increased a lot.

At this time, he thought of Dongchang.

Dongchang was formerly a secret service agency founded by the late emperor.

At that time, not long after the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, in order to prevent others from plotting to do anything wrong, they raised a large number of people from Dongchang.

In the past, which officials were corrupt and broke the law, which officials communicated with foreign enemies, and even husband and wife spoke ill of the emperor behind their backs, they all relied on these Dongchang people to know and inform the late emperor.

Once found out, they will never be forgiven lightly.

It's a pity that once the first emperor died, all the subsequent emperors were full of bad intentions.

Seeing the ministers flattering and flattering themselves, they thought it was true. A group of civil officials said that Dongchang had caused countless harm to people, and the people complained greatly. In order to protect the reputation of the emperor, Dongchang must be dismantled.

Ever since, after several emperors' insane operations, the scale of Dongchang became smaller and smaller, from thousands of people at the beginning, it gradually became a small organization of hundreds of people.

Even, it has been several years since they have spoken to Dongchang.

In addition, the civil servants have been persecuted by Dongchang, and when they saw Dongchang lose power, they all tried their best to suppress them. Now Dongchang is completely lingering on its last breath, without any threat.

"Come on!"

"Slave pays respects to the emperor." He Xi, an apprentice of He Taigao, walked in.

"Let Xie Jin enter the palace."

"The slave follows the order..."

Xie Jin is the factory supervisor of the East Factory. He used to be very powerful, but now he is being bullied everywhere, leading a group of eunuchs in the East Factory to linger on.

In his memory, Wang Zhong remembered that when the original owner Luo Zhao had just ascended the throne, this Xie Jin had met Luo Zhao once in the palace, and said something about Dongchang being very important to the emperor, and that he could relieve the emperor's worries.

However, Luo Zhao was a fool at that time and ignored Xie Jin at all.

Soon, Xie Jin was led in by the little eunuch.

Xie Jin looked even thinner, as if he should have walked in a hurry, his face was full of excitement.

After so many years, it was the first time for the emperor to let him enter the palace to have a face-to-face. It is very likely that he has something important to do.

During this period, Xie Jin's Dongchang seemed to be decadent, but he didn't do nothing, and there were still some gossip.

Wang Zhong recently reformed the harem and opened an inexplicable clothing factory in the harem.

Afterwards, Andre, Shen An, Huang Yuyi and others were arrested one by one and brought to justice. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the reason for this series of actions?

So why?Don't ask, asking is a big move.

Xie Jin is not without ambition.

As an eunuch who used to be very powerful in Dongchang, after not being a man, now he likes nothing more than two things, money and power.

And these two things cannot be owned by ministers. It is difficult for eunuchs to cooperate with ministers, and only the emperor can do it.

He also thought about facing the saint again in the near future and doing his best for the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to find him himself, which made him very excited.

"The old slave Xie Jin, kowtow to the emperor, the emperor is blessed and safe."

Xie Jin knelt down excitedly, he hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, he is a martial arts practitioner, and he could tell at a glance that the emperor now is different from before.

In the past, the emperor indulged too much in women, and his spirit was listless. Even wearing a dragon robe, he looked like a bumpkin.

But now, the emperor is full of energy, his temples are bulging, and his forehead is raised, which is a sign of martial arts training.

The emperor has started practicing martial arts!

Sure enough, his guess was right, the emperor really changed.

"Get up, Eunuch Xie." Wang Zhong said lightly.

"Thank you, my lord."

Although Xie Jin got up, he didn't dare to stand up straight in front of Wang Zhong, and was still bent over.

"Eunuch Xie, do you know what happened in the court recently?"

"My lord, this old slave has heard a little bit about it."

"Then tell me, am I doing the right thing?" Wang Zhong stared at Xie Jin, he wanted to know if Xie Jin was really loyal.

Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to fatten up a Dongchang for no reason.

"Uh... my lord, this old slave is stupid, I don't know what the lord is referring to?"

"Zhen, it refers to everything you know." Wang Zhong continued with a flat tone, "I don't like stupid people, you know?"

Chapter 625 What is the crime of violently mentioning it (subscribe)

After hearing Wang Zhong's words, Xie Jin's heart trembled.

He secretly scolded himself for being really stupid. The emperor personally met him and said these things. What does this prove? It proves that the emperor is going to reuse him.

This time is a good opportunity for myself to express myself, but I still pretend to be stupid.

Immediately, Xie Jin stopped pretending, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this old slave is the emperor's dog slave. If the emperor says to do anything, if the emperor is willing, the old slave will be willing. If the emperor is happy, the old slave will be happy. Even if the emperor says he wants to kill The old slave, the old slave's neck will be chopped off by the emperor after washing..."

As expected of a dog slave, he speaks really nicely.

"Very well, I like a dog slave like you."

"The old slave is the emperor's dog slave."

"Well, Xie Jin, I have wronged you all these years."

Xie Jin was taken aback for a moment, and then panicked: "This old slave is terrified. The emperor's kindness to this old slave is as great as a mountain. If I can keep this old slave and give this old slave a bite to eat, this old slave is already very happy, so there is no need to talk about grievances."

"I don't need to say flattery. I couldn't do anything about it before. You should know that there are some things that I can't do."

"Old slave understands."

"I'm asking you now, if I ask you to do something, can you do it well?"

Xie Jin immediately stated: "The emperor just orders."

"Aren't there more than a dozen ministers kneeling at the entrance of the Jinluan Hall? I want you to investigate the evidence of their corruption and perverting the law. If you can do it well, I will let your East Factory restore its former glory. If you can't do it, I will create another one." West Factory is ready."

Xie Jin knelt down on one knee, and after listening to Wang Zhong's words, Xie Jin even breathed heavily.

He could sense that today was the most important day for him as a eunuch.

If this task is done well, he will soar into the sky, if he can't do it well, he will be in bad luck.

But he is not worried, this task is not very complicated, when he came in, he noticed some ministers kneeling outside, none of them were powerful ministers, it is not difficult to investigate them.

The only difficulty is that he has too few people now.

"Don't worry, I know there are too many people to investigate, and you can't catch them, but it doesn't matter, I don't want you to investigate them to the bottom. As long as one or two people oppress the people, corrupt and demand bribes, it is enough evidence to convict them." That's it."

Hearing this, Xie Jin breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, this task is really not difficult, and he has great confidence.

"My lord, this old slave will definitely complete the task assigned by my lord."

"Well, first go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get 10 taels of silver for your expenses."

Now that the disobedient people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been dealt with, there is no need to worry about being embezzled for the time being.

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

....................................

Everything was explained, and in a blink of an eye, the full moon was in the sky.

Wang Zhong returned to Zhao Luan's bedroom early. Due to the many things happening recently, Wang Zhong was not willing to let Zhao Luan be such a good helper, so at the last moment, Wang Zhong made her drink hot soy milk to nourish Zhao Luan body.

On He Taigao's side, after accepting Wang Zhong's mission, he went to Fu Yin's prison without stopping.

In the dark prison, the wailing of some prisoners could be faintly heard.

These voices came from prisoners who had been tortured during the day. Everyone's skin was torn apart, or blood was still oozing from their fingers and toes. The condition was miserable.

It's just that in the deepest part of the prison, a strong man endured severe pain and stared straight ahead.

In front of him are two yamen servants, who have been making trouble for him since he was imprisoned here.

"Meng Men, don't blame us brothers for being mean-spirited. It's true that someone above wants you to die, and we as soldiers can't help it."

One of them held a long whip, said, and threw it at Mengti.

"Crack..."

With two whips in a row, the strong man's body, which was originally bruised and bruised, showed more blood marks.

But the strong man insisted on not shouting, and stared straight ahead.

Compared with the physical pain, his heart hurts more.

When the emperor was fatuous and incompetent, his Zhao family army had made great military exploits back then, but now, this is what happened to him.
