Factory owner is king

Chapter 117

In June and July, the rainy season, days of gloom, continuous heavy rain and light rain make people feel irritable.

Xu Ruyi hasn't figured out these things about the jewelry store and Yuxi, but something happened to little Ouyang over there.It's not a big deal, just catching a cold and getting sick.

In the hands of Wang Yongzhen, Yamazaki Tatsuya, and Xu Ruyi, Ouyang was a naive little girl at the beginning, but looking at it now, she has become a brat.When did this transformation start? If you think about it carefully, it should be the night when she started practicing martial arts.

Ever since Xu Ruyi taught her the palm technique of Tianluodiwangshi, Ouyang started to practice diligently, reading books during the day and practicing palm techniques.And at night, she always has to go to the yard to watch the stars for an hour before going to bed.The little girl said that she was "chatting" with her parents, but in fact, all three of them knew that she was trying to understand Yamazaki Ryuya's starry sword.When Wang Yongzhen was still there before, he could always urge her to read and practice calligraphy, but after Wang Yongzhen left, the little girl became even harder.It's not a bad thing to practice martial arts more diligently, at least Xu Ruyi and Yamazaki Ryu don't see any disadvantages.

Therefore, I have to admit that women are more professional in taking care of children. Delicate thoughts and motherhood seem to be a kind of talent they are born with, and this kind of talent is obviously not possessed by men.In layman's terms, men often can't even take care of themselves, so how can they be expected to take care of their children?
Ouyang's body was a little tired from practicing during the day, and it was very cold at night, so he had to look at the stars for a while.The weather is getting colder, and it's only a matter of time before something goes wrong.

"Ahem." A suppressed low cough sounded, which made Xu Ruyi and Yamazaki Ryuya feel heartbroken.

Little Ouyang came back from watching the stars last night, but his face was a little unsightly, and Ryu Yamazaki didn't take it seriously.But when Xu Ruyi came this morning, little Ouyang couldn't get out of bed anymore.He coughed twice from time to time and seemed to have a fever.

I hurriedly found four or five doctors to look at it in turn, but they all said that it was just a cold and a cold, so they prescribed some medicine for reducing fever and relieving cough.However, children have low resistance, even if they take medicine, it will take a while to recover.

Xu Ruyi looked at Yamazaki Ryuya complainingly: "I'm not telling you, you can't take care of a child well, and you can even make her sick."

Yamazaki Tatsuya's face was full of self-blame, and he didn't speak.

Seeing Yamazaki Tatsuya's expression, Xu Ruyi sighed secretly in her heart, knowing that she couldn't blame him entirely, and she was also responsible.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and then the door opened, and Yun Zheng walked in gently.

"How is it? Is there any new news?" Xu Ruyi asked.

What Xu Ruyi asked was still about Guoxi.

This is what Xu Ruyi is most concerned about recently. He always feels that there seems to be some huge relationship behind the disappearance of Guoxi, but he can't figure it out.Wang Yongzhen left, and Xu Ruyi didn't have anyone to discuss with, so she could only talk to Yun Zheng.

As for Yamazaki Tatsuya, conspiracy and power has nothing to do with him. He can't even understand it. I mentioned a few words to him before, but his reaction is not as good as that of little Ouyang.

Regarding Xu Ruyi's question, Yun Zheng showed embarrassment: "Eunuch, the people below have put in a lot of effort recently, but they still haven't got any clues. At first, the little one suspected that Hua Pengfei did it, but after seeing him yesterday, It doesn't seem to have anything to do with him."

"Is this thing important? If you lose it, you lose it." Yamazaki Ryuu said indifferently.

Xu Ruyi glanced at him, but said nothing.

"So stupid, three big men, they can't even figure out such a trivial matter." The cold and immature voice, accompanied by a few chuckles, rang out on the bed, sending chills down the spine: "Deep Palace, Your Majesty If he can't even look at his own imperial seal, then his life should have been lost long ago. The loss of the imperial seal is a major case. Since it is a major case, there must be criminals, and there are many criminals. Shengchun Jewelry Co., Ltd. The boss is just an introduction, a spark, but it's hard to say who will be caught by the fire, everything depends on the emperor's will."

Little Ouyang sat up from the bed while talking.Yanyan looked at Xu Ruyi and the three of them with a smile, and said opinions that she couldn't possibly express.His little face was flushed, obviously the fever had not subsided.

"..." The three of them looked at each other, and Ouyang looked so strange in front of them.

"Possessed by a fox fairy? Ghost upper body?" This is Yun Zheng's understanding.

"Soul Attendant Chongshen?" This is Yamazaki Tatsuya's understanding, but it's just the Japanese name for the upper body of the ghost.

"Three-eyed child? Super Saiyan? Sailor Moon?" This is obviously Xu Ruyi's explanation.

"Why are you looking at him like that?" Ouyang tilted his head, with a "coquettish" smile on his face.

Coquettish, a six or seven-year-old child, showed a coquettish attitude, which made people shudder. He didn't know how to respond, so he stayed where he was for a while.

Only to hear Ouyang go on to say: "It doesn't really matter where the imperial seal is, what matters is how people with a heart make use of this news. Those who have an objection will be happy, because losing the destiny is the best reason for rebellion. Hesitating in his heart Some people may completely stand firm because of this news. And the emperor, he should be very happy to see these snakes, rats and ants jump out."

"Ouyang, you... are you okay?" Xu Ruyi stood up and came to the bedside, and touched Ouyang's forehead.

It's hot, it's terribly hot.

Ouyang looked at Xu Ruyi suspiciously: "Brother Ruyi, what's wrong with you? Ouyang is fine. Look..."

He pointed at Xu Ruyi as a sword, and lightly tapped on Xu Ruyi's chest.

"Starry Kendo!" Ryu Yamazaki whispered.

Xu Ruyi stared intently, put his left hand on Ouyang's wrist, and was about to use his strength to pull it aside. Unexpectedly, Ouyang stretched out both hands, and took more than 30 consecutive shots on Xu Ruyi's outstretched hand in the blink of an eye.Xu Ruyi's skill is profound, so it's not a hindrance, but Ouyang's smooth and skillful movements made him turn pale with shock, "The net of heaven and earth!"

On a whim, Xu Ruyi was about to give Ouyang two tricks to try, but Ouyang suddenly rolled his eyes and passed out.

"Yun Zheng, hurry up and find Qian Kemu from Renxintang." Xu Ruyi turned around and growled.

"Yes."

The situation was very strange, and Xu Ruyi didn't think that group of quack doctors in the morning could solve this intractable disease.Subconsciously, he thought of the somewhat mysterious Qian Kemulai.

Yun Zheng walked out of the room, Xu Ruyi frowned and looked at Yamazaki Tatsuya: "Have you ever seen such a situation?"

Yamazaki Ryuu also shook his head: "It looks a bit like the legendary Soul Samurai Chongshen in my hometown."

"Forget it, let's see what the doctor says."

. . . . . .

Qian Kemu gently put down Ouyang's wrist, touched her forehead with his hand, and looked at Xu Ruyi and the others with some doubts: "The child is weak and caught a cold. This is just a common cold, isn't it?" Didn’t the other doctors say that?”

"You didn't find anything else wrong?" Xu Ruyi frowned, and briefly described the weird scene just now.

"Is there such a thing?" Qian Kemu was silent.

After a long while, he opened his mouth and said: "The villain seems to have read the situation that the father-in-law said once in some ancient book, but after a long time, I still forget it. Please give the villain some time, the villain may find the answer."

. . . . . .

July 26th, [-]th year of Hongwu
The Dongchang yamen outside Dongzhimen was officially completed, and the work can be officially handed over only after a plaque is hung on the gate.Just because there was no plaque, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty still couldn't figure out who this yamen was for.From the beginning to the end, the emperor never revealed any words.But it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of time.

Hongwu 26th July [-]th
early morning
Chengtian Temple

Zhu Yuanzhang wore a pterosaur crown and sat on a dragon chair with slightly drooping eyelids, looking at the civil and military officials under the jade steps indifferently.

"My national seal is indeed lost." The voice was low and depressing.

The ministers were shocked, the emperor finally talked about it.The story of the theft of the Imperial Seal is now widely circulated, and the common people know about it. Naturally, these smart people will not ignore it, but they dare not ask.

Zhu Yuanzhang went on to say: "One of the thieves has been caught, but the national seal has not been found yet."

"Jiang Huan."

"The minister is here." Following Zhu Yuanzhang's call, Jiang Huan walked to the front from behind the ministers, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up and tell me what you found."

"Observe the decree." Jiang Huan got up and faced all the ministers: "On June 26, the 23th year of Hongwu, the national seal was stolen in the ban. After the unannounced visit of Jin Yiwei, the fake national seal was seized in the Shengchun Jewelry Store in Sishui Street five days ago On the one hand, Chen Liubai, the owner of the jewelry store, was also arrested on the same day and imprisoned. After interrogation, it was learned that this person was just an insignificant person in the theft of the Imperial Seal, and there was someone behind him. As for the person behind the scenes The identity of Jin Yiwei is still unknown, and they are still investigating."

As soon as Jiang Huan's words fell, the ministers of cultural relics whispered to each other and talked a lot.

The imperial seal was really lost, and this was the first time the emperor gave a positive answer.An earthquake in Sichuan and these "learned Confucians" can relate to the connection between heaven and man. Now that the imperial seal is lost, what do they want to say?They dare not say anything.If you dare to say that Da Ming's life is approaching, it is better to commit suicide quickly, so as to save your family from being hurt.

"Okay, you go down first." Jiang Huan slowly retreated outside the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, stopped the discussion of the officials, and then said with a smile that was not a smile: "Everyone, you should know that the Imperial Seal is a token of our Ming Dynasty's inheritance, and it will be thrown under my nose. Oh, it’s really ridiculous. I stole things all on my head, is this the peaceful and prosperous world that you talk about all day long?”

"Your Majesty is terrified and guilty. Please appease your anger." The ministers fell to the ground, trembling, and secretly prayed to God to bless them to live to retire today.

"Get up." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and then said again: "I'm not an idiot, I can't blame you for losing the imperial seal. But now it seems that only one Jinyiwei is far from helping me look after me The Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty. After several considerations, I decided to set up another guard, named Dongjiji Factory, located outside Dongzhimen. It has the same function as the Jinyiwei, patrolling the world, and is represented by a middle official. ?”

The main hall suddenly fell silent, and after a brief silence, there were even louder discussions.But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't stop them immediately as before, but watched with interest and everyone's reaction.

The generals and nobles are still silent, very good, at least for now they are still obedient.

Ministers are whispering, which is also good.There is controversy, at least it means that they have not yet united under which person's banner, and there has not been another prime minister. Maybe they are waiting for some big man to express his opinion?Zhu Yuanzhang decided to take another look.

The discussions among the civil servants gradually became louder.

As mentioned earlier, there have been intelligence agencies in all dynasties.The officials are familiar with the scriptures and history, and they understand the significance of Jinyiwei's existence. Although they don't like it, there is nothing they can do about it.However, it seems that there has never been a situation where two intelligence agencies existed at the same time in one dynasty.All the ministers searched their stomachs and found no precedents to follow.Without a precedent, I can only rely on my own head to think.

Why did the emperor set up the East Factory?Naturally, it was to check and balance Jin Yiwei.As for the theft of the Imperial Seal, Jin Yiwei's dereliction of duty and so on are just excuses, everyone knows it well, but they just don't say it.So is it good or bad to have Dongchang?After a fierce and low-key debate, with the help of a few "careful people", everyone's thinking unexpectedly slipped to the side of agreement.

"My lords, in my humble opinion, setting up the East Factory may not be a bad thing." Duan Zhe, the censor of Zuodu, said in a low voice: "Jin Yiwei's family is the only one, and its behavior is becoming more and more rampant. No one can stop it. If there is another official Secretary, maybe under the restraint of the two parties, can they restrain themselves?"

"It's a good idea to control thieves with thieves." Several people around nodded in agreement.

"Could it be that both sides are at the same time..." Zhang Qian, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, expressed doubts.

"Probably not." Li Cunyuan, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, analyzed: "The emperor established the East Factory to check and balance the Jinyiwei. Trimble, although it doesn't mean that fire and water are incompatible, but I think I won't be as crazy as before?"

"Everyone, you may have missed half a sentence." Huang Zicheng said with a sullen face: "The emperor said that the East Factory will be 'acted by a middle official'." Huang Zicheng said the words "acted by a middle official" very emphatically.

"The emperor wants to hand over the East Factory to the eunuchs in the palace. What is this? This is the work of the eunuchs!"

"Not bad!" Qi Tai echoed from the side: "The establishment of the East Factory may be fine, but it must not be handed over to the eunuchs!"

"This..." The eyes gradually focused on the faces of the six Shangshu lords, and the voices of discussion gradually quieted down.At this time, there is no official position of a bachelor, and the prime minister has long been abolished. Now the head of civil servants is naturally none other than the six ministers.

"The East Factory can be established, but it cannot be handed over to the hands of eunuchs." The voice of Yang Jing, the Minister of Punishment, sounded faintly.
