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 Overlord."
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 stall to the deputy governor of the West Factory is a real promotion. In terms of grade, he goes directly from the fifth grade to the third grade. 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 strange happening over there in the East Factory?"
Tan Luzi said quickly: "We have been sending people to monitor, and there is nothing abnormal for the time being. It's just that several people in charge of the East Factory 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 Overlord."
Yu Huatian nodded and continued to give instructions: "Also, please report to Hulong Villa. It seems that something big is going to happen in the Jianghu during this period. There are even martial arts people 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 accepted with his hands, and then asked: "What about the Dongchang..."
Yuhuatian was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Retract 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 is 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 a few 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. Before he is no longer sure of victory, it is not a bad thing to keep a low profile for the time being."
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."
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 not only relying on the emperor's favor, but also Dongchang's ability to control the Jinyiwei's strength 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 and Cao Zhengchun, let’s play it slowly. One day, I will uproot Hulong Villa and Dongchang!
In Ming Dynasty, one West Factory was enough!
…
At the same time, in the southwest of the capital, there was a mansion that although it occupied a large area, 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 younger brother of the current emperor, 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 entering the palace to visit his sick brother, he almost never leaves the house, 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 was Lu Wenzhao, Fusi Qianhu of Jinyiweibei Town.
In the past few days, there was turmoil in Dongchang, and King Xin also received the news. He even secretly indicated that Lu Wenzhao participated in the civil strife in Dongchang and helped Zhao Jingzhong kill Li Zhong.
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 for news quietly in his house.
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, 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 will happen to the Dongchang? Your Majesty is going to listen to the officials and abolish the Dongchang?"
"No!"
Lu Wenzhao said with a solemn expression: "His 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 him holding 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.
The Dongchang stall owner Zhao Jingzhong and his junior sister Wei Ting who died in Yuhuatian's hands 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 failed again!
Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel 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 up for the time being. Don't provoke Dongchang until we find out the character and temper of the new governor of Dongchang, so as not to To alert the snake."
"yes."
Lu Wenzhao handed over his hand.
Zhu Youjian narrowed his eyes and suddenly said: "I heard that Your 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 in the past few days. It seems that the imperial doctor said that the emperor was depressed, so the depression accumulated in his heart, leading to heartburn, so the emperor was preparing 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. Investigate everything!"
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.
Although he now knows very well what will happen to him if this thing fails, he can't help but step back now.
Doing it or not is a dead end!
Thinking back to the tragic war that year, Lu Wenzhao's eyes gradually became cold and firm.
If you don't want to die, you have to change your way of living...
"Humble duty, obey your orders!"
Lu Wenzhao bowed his head deeply, then moved slightly and quietly disappeared into the courtyard.
Zhu Youjian still stood quietly at the door of the mansion, looking at the distant sky, silent.
I saw that the setting sun in the sky was like blood, and the thin autumn wind blew through the small courtyard, raising a biting chill...
…
