Chapter 15(1/2)
Change your life
After sending Su Huirong away, Yu Huatian returned to his mansion. It took a long time before he calmed down his complicated mood.
Then he looked at Zhao Tong, who was waiting next to him, and said indifferently: "Tan Luzi has come to see me."
"Yes, Lord Governor."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tong quickly turned around and left.
After a while, Tan Luzi, who had put on a brand new purple python robe, hurried over, with a hint of excitement that could not be concealed between his eyebrows.
After all, going from the second rank to the deputy governor of the West Factory is a real promotion. In terms of grades, he goes directly from the fifth rank to the third rank. Therefore, Tan Luzi is very motivated and excited at the moment.
"Subordinates, please see the Governor!"
Arriving in front of Yuhuatian, Tan Luzi bowed and saluted.
"Get up."
Yuhuatian said calmly: "Is there anything unusual happening over there in the East Factory?"
Tan Luzi said quickly: "We have been sending people to monitor us, and there is nothing abnormal for the time being. It's just that several people in charge of the Dongchang have left. The people below are unstable and panicked. No one dares to go out alone until now."
"By the way, a man came from Dongchang today asking to see the governor. This man's name is Zheng Yuan. He used to be an innate master under Wan Yulou and served as the leader. He was originally arrogant and domineering, but now Wan Yu
Lou and Li Zhong are both dead. He is coming here now with a very low profile. He probably wants to join our West Factory."
"Zheng Yuan, in charge?"
Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded and said: "Take it, let him follow Zhao Tong first, wait for the effect, and then make arrangements."
"Yes, Lord Governor."
Yu Huatian nodded and continued to give instructions: "Also, Hulong Villa has reported that something big seems to be happening in the world during this period. There are even martial arts figures from other dynasties entering the Ming Dynasty. You can check this matter and see.
Let’s see what’s going on.”
"I obey my orders!"
Tan Luzi agreed, then asked: "What about the East Factory..."
Yu Huatian was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Withdraw the people who are monitoring you. I am entering the palace today. The emperor has appointed a new governor of the East Factory named Cao Zhengchun. This person was the previous director of the Ceremony Supervisor.
He is not weak, so don’t provoke him for the time being.”
"What?"
Tan Luzi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: "Then we finally got rid of several people in charge of Dongchang. Now aren't we giving him an advantage?!"
Yu Huatian waved his hand and said: "Regardless of his strength or skills, I'm afraid he is still on top of the Wanyu Tower. It is not a bad thing to keep a low profile for the time being before we are no longer sure of victory."
Tan Luzi was still a little unhappy. She finally waited for the opportunity and made a wedding dress for others!
But seeing the caution in Yu Huatian's eyes, he could only temporarily suppress his emotions, nodded and said: "I obey my orders."
Yu Huatian nodded, then changed his voice and said: "Dongchang can stay still for the time being, but Jin Yiwei can try to win over him."
"Cao Zhengchun has just succeeded as the governor of Dongchang. He has no one available in Dongchang. Before he can stabilize the situation in Dongchang, he will try to find a way to control Jinyiwei in our hands."
Tan Luzi immediately looked happy and quickly raised his hands and said: "Yes, Lord Governor!"
The reason why Dongchang has been able to do whatever he wants in recent years, and even control the life and death of all civil and military officials, is that in addition to relying on the emperor's favor, Dongchang's ability to control the Jin Yiwei also accounts for a large part of the reason.
Taking advantage of the current turmoil in the East Factory and the situation has not yet stabilized, bringing Jin Yiwei over can greatly enhance the strength of the West Factory.
Even if Cao Zhengchun successfully controls the East Factory and stabilizes the situation, his power will never be comparable to that of the West Factory!
Yuhuatian looked at the sky outside the house, his eyes flickering.
Zhu Wuwu, Cao Zhengchun, let's play it slowly. One day, I will uproot Hulong Villa and Dongchang!
In Ming Dynasty, there was only one West Factory, that was enough!
…
At the same time, in the southwest of the capital, there was a mansion that occupied a large area, but its overall layout and decoration was extremely low-key.
A young man about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a red python robe, stood at the door of the inner palace, staring blankly in the direction of the palace, wondering what he was thinking.
Although this young man is young, his bearing is extraordinary. He has an innate nobility, and his brows also reveal a bit of majesty that does not belong to his age.
This person is none other than the current emperor's younger brother, King Xin of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian.
The current emperor is weak and sick, so he has no heirs since he ascended the throne.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, once the emperor dies, His Highness King Xin is the most likely candidate to inherit the throne.
But over the years, King Xin has kept a very low profile. Unless summoned by the emperor, or occasionally going to the palace to visit his sick brother, he almost never leaves or takes a step outside, for fear of letting people know that Emperor Tianqi is still alive.
He has a biological brother.
However, what outsiders don't know is that although His Highness King Xin behaves low-key and abides by the law on the surface, secretly he has already won over many ministers in the court and prepared for his future succession to the throne.
Among them were Fusi Qianhu and Lu Wenzhao of Jinyiweibei Town.
In the past few days, there was turmoil in Dongchang, and King Xin also received the news. Even Lu Wenzhao participated in the civil strife in Dongchang and helped Zhao Jingzhong kill Li Zhong, which was his secret suggestion.
He planned to take this opportunity to help Zhao Jingzhong become the new governor of Dongchang, and then secretly win over Zhao Jingzhong and take Dongchang for his own use.
Unexpectedly, what happened next was far beyond his expectation.
Yuhuatian, the governor of the West Factory, intervened in the matter, and Li Zhong, Zhao Jingzhong and Liu Xi, the three people who were qualified to succeed the governor of the East Factory, all died.
The matter was so big that even the emperor knew about it.
He didn't dare to make any plans now, so he could only wait quietly in the house for news.
laugh--
Not long after, a faint sound came from the wall on the side of the mansion, and then a figure stepped on the treetops and fell into the courtyard.
"Your Highness!"
The visitor was none other than Lu Wenzhao. At this moment, he came to Zhu Youjian with a solemn face. He raised his hands and said: "There is news from the palace that Yu Huatian has not been held accountable by His Majesty, but he has also been strictly ordered not to interfere in the East Factory again.
matter."
Zhu Youjian frowned slightly and said, "What happened to the Dongchang? Your Majesty is going to obey the audience of the officials and abolish the Dongchang?"
"No!"
Lu Wenzhao said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty has appointed a new governor of the East Factory, named Cao Zhengchun, who was the eunuch and eunuch supervisor during the late emperor's time!"
"Cao Zhengchun?"
Zhu Youjian frowned even more tightly, "How come I haven't heard of this person? How strong is this person?"
"I have never heard of a lowly position. This person should have resigned not long after he took office."
"As for strength..."
Lu Wenzhao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "I have never fought in person, so I can't be sure, but since the emperor can trust him and let him take charge of Dongchang, he must not be weak."
"Too……"
Zhu Youjian nodded slightly. Dongchang is responsible for supervising the world for the emperor and handling trivial matters in the court and in the world. It is impossible without martial arts. Therefore, all the governors of Dongchang have excellent martial arts.
Of course, except for the "9,000-year-old" Wei Zhongxian before Wanyu Tower.
However, although Wei Zhongxian's martial arts skills were not high, he had many martial arts masters under his command.
Zhao Jingzhong, the Dongchang stall owner who died at the hands of Yuhuatian, and his junior sister Wei Ting were one of them.
Just getting back to business…
Now that the emperor has appointed a new governor of the East Factory, his plan to take control of the East Factory has come to nothing!
Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Yuhuatian, you really deserve to die!
Can't you take good charge of your West Factory? You must destroy Gu's plan!
After pondering for a long time, Zhu Youjian suppressed the anger in his heart, took a deep breath, and said: "Dongchang, let's give it up for now. Don't provoke Dongchang until you find out the character and temper of the new governor of Dongchang, so as not to
To scare the snake away."
"yes."
Lu Wenzhao cupped his hands.
Zhu Youjian narrowed his eyes and suddenly said: "I heard that His Majesty is planning to go out for a tour in the past few days?"
Lu Wenzhao nodded: "Yes, there have been rumors in the court and government these days. It seems that the imperial doctor said that the emperor was depressed, so the depression accumulated in his heart, causing heartburn. That's why the emperor prepared to leave the palace to relax and observe the sentiments of the people."
Zhu Youjian's eyes flashed with light. After a long time, he said quietly: "This might be an opportunity..."
Lu Wenzhao frowned, a little confused, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly changed: "Your Highness wants to..."
Zhu Youjian did not answer, with a cold face, and said: "Go and check the emperor's parade route, where it passes, where it ends, and who he takes with him, and investigate them all!"
Looking at Zhu Youjian with a stern expression, Lu Wenzhao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, that's your brother...
But there is a saying that people in the world cannot help themselves.
To be continued...
