In fact, Wang Chengen has always had a heroic dream in his heart since he became a general.
He had imagined countless times that he could make great achievements like Zheng He and rectify the name of the eunuch.
It's a pity that the current government is corrupt and traitors are in power. Even though he, a eunuch, has great ambitions, he has no ability to change all this.
In desperation, he had to bury the dream deeply, and then try to help Chongzhen as much as possible.
He no longer had any extravagant hopes, he only hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang could suppress the rebellion and let the people of the world live a happy life.
Unexpectedly, by chance, Zhu Yuanzhang handed Dongchang into his hands, making his long-forgotten dream come alive again.
So even though Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly told him to close the East Factory as soon as possible, he delayed it with excuses.
Because he wanted to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity for Zhu Yuanzhang to understand that Dongchang is not a hell on earth, and not all eunuchs are treacherous.
At the same time, he wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to know that there were loyal people among their eunuchs, who could also share the king's worries, and would do a better job than those ministers.
So after he took over Dongchang, he immediately started to reorganize it, hoping to realize his dream.
It's a pity that Dongchang has accumulated evil for a long time. Not only the people in charge are useless, but also the subordinates below are mostly cunning and ruthless people. There are almost no useful people, leaving Wang Cheng'en with more than enough ambition but not enough power.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang had previously ordered him to disband Dongchang. Although he did not urge him again, he knew that it was not Zhu Yuanzhang who had changed his mind, but that he was too busy with official duties and had no time to take care of the matter.
So he has been hesitating, not knowing whether his insistence is right.
Coinciding with the recent turmoil in the capital, undercurrents were surging, and he found that some people from Dongchang were also looming among them.
In order to prevent the people in Dongchang from causing trouble again and bringing shame to this once holy place again, he decided to reluctantly close it after thinking about it all night.
Originally he thought he had figured it out and let it go, but now when he heard Wang Youde's words, he couldn't help but hesitate, worry, and even fear.
Seeing this, Wang Youde persuaded again: "Master, I know you are reluctant to part with it. Haven't you always aspired to be famous in history like Lord Zheng He..."
"enough!"
Wang Chengen was worried that Wang Youde would change his mind if he kept talking, so he immediately shouted down at him.
Then he calmed down and shouted to Wang Youde: "Xiao Dezi, have you become more capable now? Are you starting to teach your father how to do things?"
Wang Youde heard this and quickly knelt down to apologize, but his eyes were filled with unwillingness.
"Admiral Wang, tell us what caused such a big fuss!"
At this time, Gao Qiqian walked in from the door with a proud look on his face.
Immediately afterwards, the criminal officers, servants, police officers and other principals of the East Factory also came in and looked at him with unkind expressions.
Wang Chengen was shocked when he saw this, and then looked at Wang Youde, who was trembling slightly.
In fact, he had noticed that Wang Youde was a little weird before, but he just felt that no matter how bold he was, he would never betray him.
But now that he saw Gao Qiqian and others walking into the hall grandly, he knew that he had been betrayed by the person he trusted most.
Wang Chengen looked at everyone coldly, then looked at Wang Youde, and asked sternly: "Xiao Dezi, master treats you well, why do you do this?"
When Wang Youde heard this, his body couldn't help trembling, and he cried with tears on his face: "Master, Xiao Dezi did not betray you, he just doesn't want the East Factory to be closed down."
"You also know that we are all people who have no descendants and cannot enter the officialdom. Only in this place can we have the opportunity to prove ourselves."
"Especially since Dongchang has been misunderstood before. If we cannot wash away the shame and close it down, then not only us, but our descendants and even our eunuch clan will never be able to turn around."
"Xiao Dezi also tried to persuade you, but you were unwilling. Xiao Dezi has no choice but to ask Master for forgiveness!"
"But don't worry, Master. Gao Jianjun has promised that he will not harm you and will let Dongchang continue."
When Wang Chengen heard Wang Youde's words, he felt sad and regretful, and at the same time he secretly cursed himself for being stupid.
If he could have listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions earlier and closed the East Factory, he would not be in the current trouble.
Then he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang had told him many things before leaving, but he did not mention closing the East Factory again. He probably felt that the timing was wrong, but he did not expect that he made a mistake again.
Thinking of this, Wang Chengen felt regretful and angry.
He looked at the close relative who he regarded as his nephew, pointed at Gao Qiqian and yelled angrily: "You idiot, don't you know who he is?"
"He is just a greedy person who dares to violate the emperor's orders. Do you think Dongchang can clear his name in his hands?"
Wang Youde heard this, looked back at Gao Qiqian, and said with some hesitation: "Master, Xiao Dezi has no choice. As long as there is a one in ten thousand chance, Xiao Dezi will still give it a try!"
It turned out that since Wang Youde learned that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to close the East Factory, he had persuaded Wang Chengen many times.
Although Wang Chengen was unwilling to do so, because Wang Youde was too young, he was worried that he would make a mistake in his impulsiveness, so he did not tell him what he was thinking.
Unexpectedly, Wang Youde mistakenly thought that Wang Chengen had decided to close the East Factory, and he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
Just at this time, Gao Qiqian found him and claimed that he would keep Dongchang after the matter was successful.
And as long as his contribution is great enough, he can also become the owner of Dongchang in the future.
Wang Youde was so excited that he agreed to the matter without thinking too much, and often conveyed some news to the other party.
Especially today, when he saw that Wang Chengen was going to the East Factory, he knew that Wang Chengen had decided to close the East Factory, so he hurriedly sent a message to Gao Qiqian and others.
Gao Qiqian originally wanted to go to the palace to lobby Wang Chengen to see if he could persuade Wang Chengen to cooperate with Li Zushu and others.
When he received the news from Wang Youde, he was immediately overjoyed.
Because he knows that no one in Dongchang is willing to give up their rights. As long as he takes advantage of the situation, he will surely make everyone in Dongchang obey his orders.
At that time, he was acting as Wang Chengen, and the success was his credit.
If he failed, with Wang Chengen taking the blame, he could leave calmly.
So when he rushed to Dongchang, he immediately contacted the criminal officer and other principals to prepare to capture Wang Chengen.
At this moment, he saw that Wang Chengen was already a turtle in the urn, and he couldn't help feeling a little proud.
Just when he was about to say something sarcastic, he suddenly saw Wang Chengen burst into laughter.
Just when everyone was surprised, Wang Chengen shouted again: "You little beast, how dare you betray our family. From now on, our relationship between master and disciple will be severed..."
When Wang Youde heard this, his body trembled sharply, and then he collapsed on the ground and looked at Wang Chengen with a guilty look on his face.
However, Wang Chengen did not look at Wang Youde anymore, but looked at the criminal officers, servants and others in Dongchang, and sneered: "What about you? Have you decided to disobey the emperor's order today and make Dongchang humiliated again?"
Those people seemed to be suppressed by Wang Chengen's momentum. No one dared to speak, and they even retreated slightly.
Upon seeing this, Gao Qiqian was worried that his momentum would be lost. He was about to speak when he suddenly saw Wang Chengen flying towards him.
Although he has been supervising the army, he has no martial arts skills at all. When he saw this, he was so frightened that he ducked aside.
However, a Baihu behind him reacted quickly and intercepted Wang Chengen in time.
"Quickly, catch him and don't let him report the news, otherwise we will all die without a burial place!"
After Gao Qiqian came to his senses, he hurriedly shouted to everyone.
Everyone also knew that this matter was a matter of life and death, so they attacked one after another.
However, although there are many people in Dongchang, their martial arts skills are sparse.
In addition, Wang Chengen was determined to die at this moment, and everyone was unable to hold him down for a while.
"You all should work harder for our family and don't let him go..."
"Hey, why are you retreating? Why don't you go up quickly..."
"Whatever you do when you stop holding your hand, don't be afraid of hurting him. You can live or die..."
Gao Qiqian was afraid that Wang Chengen would leave, so he kept shouting at the side.
Wang Youde, who was paralyzed on the ground, heard Gao Qiqian's words and saw that Wang Chengen was in danger. He hurriedly wiped the tears from his face and walked slowly towards the battle circle.
Just at this moment, Wang Chengen was entangled by two soldiers, and a Baihu sword took the opportunity to slash at Wang Chengen's waist.
Wang Youde was shocked when he saw this, roared angrily, and rushed forward to block the knife that he was determined to win.
"Xiao Dezi!"
Wang Chengen forced the besiegers back, turned around and saw Wang Youde covered in blood, and shouted with grief on his face.
"Master...Master, Xiao...Xiao De...zi did not back...betray you..."
Wang Youde looked at Wang Chengen with a smile on his face and said intermittently.
"Master knows that Master has never blamed you...Xiao Dezi...don't close your eyes..."
Although Wang Chengen screamed desperately, Wang Youde's eyes slowly closed.
But there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking very peaceful and content...
"Xiao Dezi..."
Wang Chengen let out an angry roar unwillingly, and then looked at everyone in Dongchang with a murderous look.
When everyone saw his fierce look, they were all shocked and couldn't help but retreat slightly.
"Kill..."
Suddenly, a sound of killing came from the imperial city.
