Wanli 1592

Chapter 750 Emergency Protocol

After reaching an alliance with Luo Sigong, Shen Yiguan knew everything that Luo Sigong knew, but there was only one thing neither of them knew, and that was what the emperor's trusted eunuch Zhang Cheng was secretly doing.

Factory guards, factory guards, Dongchang has had an important responsibility since its birth, and that is to manage and supervise Jinyiwei.

The cause of this incident was that Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei in the Yongle period, conspired to rebel. This incident shocked Zhu Di a lot. From then on, Zhu Di didn't trust the Jinyiwei very much, and set up Dongchang, who was in charge of the eunuchs around him, to supervise the actions of the Jinyiwei. .

Ji Gang could rebel, but the chief eunuch could not rebel anyway. He could only rely on the emperor to maintain his own power and maintain the emperor's power. Therefore, the eunuch was more credible than the commander of Jin Yiwei, and this rule has continued.

Of course, this situation has changed at times. For example, during the period of Emperor Jiajing, Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei at that time, was the emperor's baby brother and saved the life of the Emperor Jiajing. After he became the commander of the Jinyiwei, who else is better than him? Can you gain the trust of Emperor Jiajing?
So when he was in charge of Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei walked sideways, and Dongchang didn't dare to control it. After that, it was the same as it should be, and it is the same now.

After Zhang Jing overthrew Feng Bao as the factory supervisor of Dongchang, this kind of suppression continued unabated, and he still blamed it in front of the emperor. Zhang Jing was quickly taken out secretly.

According to Luo Sigong's investigation, Zhang Jing was called by Zhu Yijun to drink tea in the palace, and then directly poisoned to death without any chance to explain.

Luo Sigong was so scared that he didn't sleep well for several days. He was afraid that he would also be called to the palace by Zhu Yijun to drink a cup of tea, and then be poisoned to death.

Later, he knew that Zhu Yijun hadn't found someone who could take over his position, so he postponed the action, but Zhang Jing obviously had someone to succeed him, Zhu Yijun chose someone he trusted, so Zhang Jing died.

Zhang Jing's successor is Zhang Cheng who is now in charge of the East Factory.

As soon as Zhang Cheng took office, he made Dongchang mysterious. If Jin Yiwei knew Dongchang to a certain extent before, Jinyiwei is blind to Dongchang now.

Because the entire structure of the East Factory in the capital was changed by Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng was really not worried that this would cause chaos in the East Factory. Anyway, he didn't use anyone he didn't trust, and if it was the management, he had to take it down immediately.

Before that, for a month, Luo Sigong could not get any news from Dongchang.

After Zhang Cheng's rumors became a little more relaxed, Luo Sigong contacted the spies he sent to the East Factory and found out a lot of news.

Although Dongchang and Jinyiwei have a supervisory relationship, they are not a subordinate relationship. Jinyiwei is still an independent individual. Compared with Dongchang, which focuses on serving the emperor and focusing on controlling the capital and mines, Jinyiwei tends to control the entire country. Internal intelligence control and external intelligence spying.

Dongchang is focused on control, while Jinyiwei casts the net everywhere.

Therefore, Jinyiwei is naturally dissatisfied with the situation of being suppressed by Dongchang. It is understandable to send a few spies. Similarly, Dongchang must also have spies inside Jinyiwei.

This kind of open secret is tacitly understood by everyone. Even if it is discovered, it should be regarded as not discovered. At most, it will be marginalized and cannot be publicly torn apart. .

On the one hand, Zhang Cheng wiped out the remaining forces left by Zhang Jing to ensure his own status, and on the other hand, he also eliminated those who could not be trusted to ensure Dongchang's loyalty to the emperor.

That is to say, the face is torn apart, no matter what, the open secrets have been abolished, and the remaining trump card is also being strictly investigated. During that month, Luo Sigong really had trouble sleeping and eating.

Fortunately, Zhang Cheng is not a professional, or not yet, at least not as professional as Zhang Jing.

Zhang Cheng had just taken over the East Factory, and before he had time to sort out many internal problems in the East Factory, he was told a lot of things by the emperor.

Even so, after Luo Sigong regained his strength, even though he found that his trump card hadn't been discovered yet, he still didn't find out Zhang Cheng's secret, and didn't know what Zhang Cheng was doing secretly.

All he knew was that the upper echelons of the East Factory had been purged, and all the people who could come into contact with Zhang Cheng were Zhang Cheng's old team members.

When Luo Sigong decided to join hands with Shen Yiguan to seek a chance of life, he didn't know what Zhang Cheng was doing, but he vaguely knew that Zhang Cheng left the palace several times in the middle of the night, and the intervals were short, and the stay outside the palace was not long, which was very strange .

After further inquiring about the news, the cabinet issued an order to recall Xiao Ruxun and the meritorious soldiers back to Beijing to participate in the prisoner offering ceremony.

At the same time, Luo Sigong and Shen Yiguan reached an urgent and urgent agreement——

Luo Sigong found out Zhang Cheng's whereabouts and purpose, and Shen always absolutely guaranteed the prosperity and wealth of Luo Sigong and his cronies.

So Luo Sigong issued a death order to the killer, to find Zhang Cheng's whereabouts at all costs, to find out what Zhang Cheng was doing and what purpose he had, and he had to finish it before Xiao Ruxun returned to Beijing. .

Luo Sigong didn't put his hope on one person, this matter is really too important, Luo Sigong took advantage of Jin Yiwei's advantage of casting nets everywhere, judged from the time when Zhang Cheng left the palace and returned to the palace that Zhang Cheng's action range was around the capital, and it started Secret search.

At this moment, the refugees gathered around the capital because of the 25-year famine in Wanli were dispersed to the northwest and southeast of the capital respectively, and the north-south passage was opened up, with the purpose of allowing Xiao Ruxun's troops, who had returned triumphantly, to arrive in Beijing smoothly.

Before that, the news of the end of the war reached the capital, and the news that there was food available in Shanxi also came. Many refugees who could not eat enough relief food decided to migrate to Shanxi. The population flow was very fast and the order was relatively chaotic. It provided a good opportunity for Jin Yiwei to mix in with the refugees.

After a period of "private visits on micro-services", the truth that there is no impenetrable wall in the world was once again proved. Luo Sigong finally grasped the secret in Zhang Cheng's hands, and on the morning of Xiao Ruxun's arrival in the capital, he sent the news to Shen Yiguan. hand.

Shen Yiguan was silent for a long time after watching it.
