Xia Xun smiled and said: "How to burn this fire? We must first find out what the emperor wants when he establishes Dongchang. Mr. Mu, are you right?"
Mu En nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, then... what does the emperor mean..."
He blinked and turned to Xia Xun for help.
Xia Xun said: "Dongchang wants to visit those who are planning to rebel, talk about evil and commit evil, and share power with the Jinyiwei. In other words, your functions are the same as those of the Jinyiwei. Whatever they are doing, you also have to do. So, why does the emperor still What about setting up Dongchang? Even if Jinyiwei doesn’t have enough manpower, then just expand the manpower. Why bother to set up another yamen?”
This time, before Mu En could ask again, Xia Xun had already answered: "Because the emperor is so high up there that he is most easily deceived by the officials. It would be better if the ministers around the emperor were as clear as water, as bright as a mirror, diligent in government and caring for the people. What should we do if the ministers deceive the emperor because of their selfish desires? Expect the emperor to be wise and know everything about the world without asking, observing, or seeing? How is that possible? Therefore, the emperor needs ears and eyes!
But the eyes and ears also have an yamen and are composed of a group of people. What if they also deceive the Holy One because of their selfish desires?
In the official system of our dynasty, there are three divisions of justice, military, and government affairs. This is the decentralization of power to prevent one family from becoming the dominant one. In the dynasty, there are also three divisions of law. The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of trials, and the Dali Temple is the organ of caution. , mainly manages the refutation and redress of unjust, false and wrong cases. The Metropolitan Procuratorate can not only supervise the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, but also has the power to "report major matters and make decisions on minor matters". The powers of the three judicial departments are separated and restrained from each other.
However, for some major cases, or major cases of treason, misleading the public, or committing evil, separate Jin Yiwei will be set up to proactively investigate and prevent problems before they happen. However, Jin Yiwei is above the three law divisions. Once they are arbitrary and arbitrary, they can conceal the superiors and bully the subordinates. how?
Now the emperor has set up another Dongchang with the same functions as Jinyiwei, which can make up for the shortcomings of Jinyiwei. The most important thing is that the emperor has an extra pair of eyes and ears. If the investigation reports submitted by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the same incident, the investigation results are not clear. If they are the same, then one party must have failed to try his best or intentionally concealed it, Mr. Mu, do you understand?"
Xia Xun explained in a seductive manner, and Mu En nodded "Ah... ah..." as if he understood, but also didn't seem to understand. Looking at his eyes, he was still a little confused. Xia Xun smiled and said: " Since the ears and eyes are not ears and eyes that grow on one's own body, but have their own thoughts and desires, then set up another pair of ears and eyes so that the two pairs of ears and eyes can supervise each other. If you listen together, you will understand!"
Mu En nodded solemnly, and then said happily: "After listening to the Duke's words, my family's heart became brighter, and I know what to do!"
Xia Xun said with a smile: "Eunuch Mu is in charge of the inner study. All the memorials from the courtiers have to go through your hands first. The memorials of Jin Yiwei are classified as secrets among secrets. Eunuch Mu must still be fresh in his memory. You might as well do it now." Think about it, what they have investigated and reported to the emperor, that is what you need to investigate, Eunuch Mu. As long as Eunuch Mu arranges the affairs of the East Factory in this direction, it will definitely be in the best interest of the emperor!"
Mu En stood up overjoyed, bowed to Xia Xun solemnly, and said sincerely: "Dongchang has just been established, and our family has no clue, just like a headless fly. We owe it to the Duke." Master, our family... I really don’t know how to thank the Duke!"
Xia Xun also stood up and said with a smile: "If you want to thank me, just be public and private, and manage the East Factory well! If I am not wrong, every move, word and deed of my daily life, Jin Yiwei
The surveillance must be tight and the emperor will be informed of anything he knows at any time. If they find out, you will also find out. Don't deliberately hide it or even pretend to be on my behalf just because of our friendship. Otherwise, it will be self-defeating!"
Mu En said in embarrassment: "Well..., how dare our family keep an eye on the Duke of Guo? Don't worry, Lord Guo, our family..."
Xia Xun shook his head and said seriously: "My father-in-law, you think Yang is telling the truth? Otherwise, I am telling the truth! Not only for me, but also for others. My father-in-law used to be in the palace and often served the emperor and the empress.
He is also very familiar with the prince. Even the prince, you have to keep an eye on him. Your decision will be impartial. Not only can this newly established Dongchang gain a firm foothold, but it will also be a protection for me and the prince.
Threat, do you understand?"
Although Mu En was still a little confused, Chen Dong and Ye An understood everything now. They both showed understanding smiles. Chen Dong took a step forward and said to Xia Xun: "The Duke's instruction, the humble rank has already understood
!”
Xia Xun also smiled, and the two of them looked at each other, like Buddha holding a flower, and Kassapa smiling, with all his Zen ideas in them.
When the three of them respectfully sent Xia Xun out of the East Factory and stood at the gate, Mu En turned to scold Chen Dong: "I haven't thought it through yet, and I'm about to ask the Duke for advice. Then you'll understand.
Understand what?"
Chen Dong smiled bitterly, pulled Mu'en, and walked back while saying: "Don't feel uneasy, Mr. Factory, we will investigate whatever the Jinyi Guards are investigating. The emperor needs to know the affairs of the world, needs to know what the ministers are doing, and needs to know more."
A pair of eyes and ears came to tell him whether what Jin Yiwei's eyes and ears heard, saw, and smelled was true. As long as we understand this truth, don't we still know what to do?
The factory owner should not think that the supervisory prince and the supervisory prince are arrogant and ungrateful. If the royal guards investigate them and we avoid investigating them, wouldn't it make the emperor pay more attention to them? Investigations are necessary, but the same thing is never the same.
If you look at it from a different perspective and say it in different words, it will sound very different in other people’s ears. The factory owner often walks beside the emperor, so don’t you understand this?"
Mu En used to serve the emperor a lot, so the art of speaking is not bad at all, but he has not been trained in the intrigues and scheming of officialdom. Now that Chen Dong has said it so clearly, Mu En finally understands it completely and has less worries.
.
On the other side, Ye Anyin said pitifully: "Who will supervise the discipline and regulations of all officials? We must also check the discipline and regulations, and we must focus on the investigation. It must be very satisfactory!"
Chen Dongdao: "In a word, no one except the emperor can ignore it. This is the emperor's original intention of establishing Dongchang and entrusting it to our mission!
Mu En became excited and geared up and said: "Okay! You two adults, let's go back and do the calculations and have a big fight!"
Xia Xun left the Dongji Office and made his way into the palace. When he arrived in front of the palace gate, he handed over the palace pass. He had just entered less than a hundred meters away when he met Ji Gang walking towards him. The two of them saw each other from a distance, and their footsteps immediately
They all slowed down, looking at Ji Gang's hesitant look, as if he wanted to avoid it, but the palace was spacious, and there was no one on the huge road. If it was too obvious to avoid it, Ji Gang hesitated, and the two of them
Then he came closer.
Xia Xun stood still and looked at Ji Gang. Ji Gang reluctantly raised his hand and said: "The Duke..."
Xia Xun smiled half-heartedly and said: "Master Ji, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look a little put on. It seems that you are living a very comfortable life!"
Ji Gang forced a smile, and said with a smile: "The Duke of Guo has become darker and thinner. I don't know people well, so I used Jian as a scum. I didn't expect this crazy thing to be bribed by a foreign enemy, and he was almost killed."
When I heard about the Duke, I was really heartbroken. During the days when the Duke was missing, I prayed day and night, asking God to bless the Duke. Fortunately, the Duke was fine. I was able to come back safely after living in a place like Beslos Bali. It was really
A very blessed person."
"Toefl, toefl, is your Majesty going to be in the palace now?"
"Yes, but unfortunately, the emperor is dealing with an urgent matter and has summoned several ministers to discuss the matter. If the Duke had not been summoned, I am afraid he would have to wait. If the Duke has important matters, should he?
Shall I go and make a report on behalf of the Duke?"
Xia Xun smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ji. I don't have anything important to do. I've just been recuperating at home for a few months. I'm very restless. I came to the palace to see the emperor. As you know, I haven't seen you for a long time."
The Holy Face will definitely be summoned by an envoy. As a minister, how can you sit at home and wait for the imperial edict? Since you have this palace sign, you can enter the palace at any time. You should take the initiative to pay homage to the Holy One. This is the duty of a minister. Your Majesty.
Since I'm dealing with official business, I'll go to the cabinet and chat with some bachelors!"
Ji Gang laughed and said: "In that case, I won't disturb the Duke anymore. I still have something to do, so I will leave now."
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Master Ji is in such a hurry. Could it be that he is rushing to Dongchang to congratulate him? This is reasonable. Everyone in the court has the closest relationship with Dongchang. It is Jin Yiwei. You and
Eunuch Mu, you should really get closer and closer to each other. From now on, we can work together on errands for the emperor so that we can take care of each other!"
Ji Gang's face changed slightly, and he immediately laughed and said: "This is because the emperor understands Ji Gang's hard work, so I have people help Ji Gang to share the burden. The Dongchang fans were all transferred from my Jinyiwei, and so were the two execution officers.
I, the old man in Jinyi, deserve to go and celebrate, haha, I’ll say goodbye now!”
When Dongchang was established, although they had decentralized power with Jinyiwei, judging from the current situation, they could only detect, arrest, interrogate, and imprison people in the hands of Jinyiwei. Many of the gangs, stalls, and foremen came from the Jinyiwei General Han.
Looking back, the power status is indeed not as high as that of Jin Yiwei. It looks like a peripheral organization of Jin Yiwei. No wonder Ji Gang said so.
Xia Xun was naturally not bored enough to wake him up. He just smiled and said, "Okay, good to go, Mr. Ji!"
Ji Gang cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, go slowly!"
He turned around twice and his face suddenly darkened at the same time!
