My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 117 Zhu Gaosui's Harem Route
Zhu Zhanhe was in charge of the East Factory. At first he was a little bit repelled, but gradually he figured it out.

Dongchang, like Jinyiwei, is an indispensable spy agency for a country. In later generations of countries, spy agencies are even more mysterious, and their methods are also very cruel.

This is also doomed, neither Dongchang nor Jinyiwei will have a good reputation, but it doesn't matter, as long as they are conducive to the stability of the country, then they have the value of existence.

There is another important reason, that is, as Zhu Gaoxu's son, in the future when Zhu Gaoxu establishes a firm foothold in Tianzhu, Zhu Zhanhe will definitely go there too. By then, he will not be in charge of a spy agency, but the entire country.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe decided to train his abilities in all aspects from Dongchang, and even actively learn from Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi. After all, managing a country is not something that can be done by playing smart.

So in the next few days, Zhu Zhanhe also devoted himself to the construction of the East Factory.

Fortunately, Yao Guangxiao left Cao Lei as a good helper for him, and Jinyiwei also had an insider like Liu Mian, so the entire East Factory was built very smoothly.

Although Ji Gang was not willing to hand over the power in his hands, he did not dare to openly disobey Zhu Di's will. Coupled with Zhu Zhanhe's special status, Ji Gang was overwhelmed, so the spies from Dongchang also quickly integrated To Jinyiwei's system.

This afternoon, Zhu Zhanhe looked at the interrogation records sent from Beizhen Fusi, and couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

Jinyiwei's power to interrogate prisoners has been infiltrated by Dongchang, which also means that Jinyiwei's greatest power has been suppressed by Dongchang, and then only Jinyiwei has the power to arrest prisoners.

Regarding this point, Zhu Zhanhe did not intend to take it back completely. After all, as long as he has the power to interrogate the prisoner, whether to convict the prisoner depends on Dongchang's will.

As for arresting criminals, it is actually a very hard job, which can be handed over to Jin Yiwei.

In this way, Jinyiwei is more like a subordinate organization of Dongchang. They do all the dirty work, but in the end it is Dongchang who has the final say.

"Your Majesty, this is the recommendation list of Jinyiwei sent by Liu Tongzhi. I have already had someone check it out. Only a few of them may have problems!"

At this moment, Cao Lei stepped forward quickly, and handed over a list to Zhu Zhanhedao with both hands.

Zhu Zhanhe took it over and took a look. This is the recommendation list he asked Liu Mian to draw up. These people will be transferred from Jinyiwei to join the East Factory, so it is natural to investigate clearly.

"It's done well. Liu Mian has always been at odds with Ji Gang. The people he recommends should not be a big problem. You can notify these people to come to the East Factory tomorrow, and you can make arrangements then!"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded after reading the list.

"Subordinates obey!"

Cao Lei clasped his fists in salute.

Cao Lei and his subordinates were all from the army, and they acted swiftly and resolutely, so the entire East Factory now looks more like a military institution.

"By the way, is there any new news from Ji Gang? Has he been to Prince Zhao's Mansion recently?"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly asked again.

People like Cao Lei were in charge of investigating Ji Gang's every move before. Now that the East Factory has been established, and spies have been directly placed in Jinyiwei, it is easier to investigate Ji Gang.

"I'm also preparing to report this to Shizi!"

As Cao Lei spoke, he took out a piece of information from his sleeve and presented it to Zhu Zhanhe again.

Zhu Zhanhe took it over and took a look. The information recorded Ji Gang's every move in the recent period, and it was more detailed than before. He even recorded what Ji Gang ate for three meals a day.

As for Ji Gang and Zhu Gaosui, they did meet once recently, and it was only the second day after the East Factory was established.

"Still don't know what they're talking about?"

Zhu Zhanhe said in disappointment after reading the information in his hand.

"Every time King Zhao sees Ji Gang, he will ask everyone to leave. Only the two of them are left in the study. No one is allowed to approach, so our spies can't hear anything."

Cao Lei replied immediately.

"During this period, the two of them met frequently. They must be plotting something. It always makes me feel uneasy!"

Zhu Zhanhe finally sighed and said, there are no such things as bugs in this era, and people can only rely on people to find out, so the news that can be heard is naturally very limited.

"My son, although we don't know what Zhao Wang and Ji Gang are plotting, we accidentally heard a piece of news about Zhao Wang!"

Cao Lei suddenly spoke.

Zhu Gaosui is the prince. In the past, neither Jin Yiwei nor Cao Lei dared to inquire about his actions, but recently Zhu Gaosui had a relationship with Ji Gang, coupled with the establishment of the East Factory, so Cao Lei dared to send spies in Zhao Wangfu. This is also an accidental discovery A piece of information about Zhu Gaosui.

"what news?"

Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly asked.

"The king of Zhao and the eunuch Huang Yan are suspected of colluding with each other!"

Cao Lei reported in a low voice.

"Bang! What a bold move!"

Zhu Zhanhe slapped the table angrily when he heard the words.

It has always been a king's taboo for foreign ministers to collude with internal ministers, not to mention that Zhu Gaosui, as a prince, actually colluded with Zhu Di's close servants. If Zhu Di knew about this, he would be very angry.

"Wait, what did you find out? Is there any solid evidence?"

Zhu Zhanhe quickly calmed down and asked again.

This information is not only related to Zhu Gaosui, but also related to Zhu Di's close ministers, so there must be solid evidence.

"There is evidence. Just two years ago, King Zhao donated a large amount of property to a man named Huang Cheng, and even gave him a lot of land. This Huang Cheng is Huang Yan's son!"

Cao Lei once again made a big statement.

"No, isn't Huang Yan an eunuch? Where did he get his son?"

Zhu Zhanhe was stunned for a moment and asked puzzledly, he remembered that Huang Yan had entered the palace since he was a child, and when Zhu Di was still the King of Yan, Huang Yan had already served by his side.

"Huang Cheng is not Huang Yan's own son, but his younger brother's son, who was later adopted by Huang Yan."

Cao Lei hastily explained.

"I see!"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly realized that eunuchs valued offspring more than ordinary people because they could not have children. Therefore, as long as eunuchs with some status in the palace tried their best to find a "son" for themselves.

Of course, this son is definitely not his own. It is best for the brother's son to adopt his own name, so that the two parties have a blood relationship, which is no different from a biological son in the ancient concept.

If there is no brother's son, he can only adopt from the same clan, and if he doesn't even have a clan member, then he can only recognize his son.

For example, the famous [-]-year-old Wei Zhongxian in history, his godsons and grandsons are all over the world, and there are simply too many to count.

"Your Majesty, Huang Yan is a close minister of His Majesty. He is so close to King Zhao, so do you think we should..."

At the end of Cao Lei's speech, he didn't dare to say any more. After all, he, an outsider, would not dare to express his views on matters related to the royal family.

Zhu Zhanhe also frowned at this time, he thought that in history Zhu Gaosui conspired to poison Zhu Di, and he also colluded with eunuchs, but this matter was related to the scandal of the royal family, so the history books were just a stroke, and there was no detailed description .

Now that Zhu Gaosui is colluding with Huang Yan, it seems that he is determined to follow the route of the harem, but his target is the eunuch in the palace.

Although the eunuchs in the early Ming Dynasty had little power, one must not underestimate the energy of these people. They entered and exited the palace and stayed with the emperor for a long time. Even the emperor needed to rely on these eunuchs for his daily necessities.

So if Zhu Gaosui really wanted to engage in any conspiracy, these eunuchs were simply his best helpers.
