Chapter 20 What? West Factory!



At night.

There was silence in the palace.

Liang Jing sat on the dragon throne and suddenly felt a little worried. He asked, "Xiao Yunzi, who do you think should be sent to quell the rebellion in the four southeastern provinces?"

"If I send General Xiao He, the general will be very dissatisfied and think that I have neglected him."

"But if I send a general, General Xiao He will feel uncomfortable and may have opinions about me."

"These two have just been on the verge of a showdown. If things continue like this, I'm afraid they'll really be at odds again."

“…”

Lu Yun felt a little sleepy after hearing this and replied calmly, "Your Majesty, why do you think this matter is so complicated?"

"It's actually very simple. Can't we just find someone else? Do we really have to let them go?"

Liang Jing turned around and glanced at him, curling his lips, "Do you really think it's that simple?"

"Which general among the civil and military officials in this court do you think is suitable to be the commander-in-chief of this expedition?"

Lu Yun was also in a dilemma. How could he know this clearly?

But he still muttered, "Isn't it just a war? It doesn't matter who goes."

"I can go."

Liang Jing heard this, but she didn't take it seriously and thought it was a joke.

Lu Yun is just a eunuch, no, a fake eunuch.

Although it is admitted that he does have some ability, but... leading troops in battle still requires experience.

If you just want to talk about it on paper, then maybe reading the art of war will be enough.

"Oh, I'm really irritable every day."

"The greatest sorrow of being an emperor is not having your own spies and your own people."

"Faced with these ministers in the court, I wonder what they are secretly doing every day."

"My shadow guards only number a few dozen."

“It’s impossible to be thorough in everything, and everything happens behind the scenes.”

When it comes to this, Lu Yun has the final say.

In his previous life, he remembered a dynasty where he served the emperor, became the emperor's spy, and strengthened the emperor's centralization of power.

The name of this force is, Western Factory Eunuchs!

Of course, there are also eunuchs from the East Factory.

Lu Yun chuckled and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, I have a good plan, but I just want to see if you will listen."

"Oh! Tell me about it."

Lu Yun took a sip of tea and then said, "Your Majesty, why don't you set up a government office to openly monitor all officials and serve as your spies."

"I have already made a preliminary plan. The name of this government office is Xichang!"

"The Western Factory, in addition to monitoring officials, is also responsible for adjudicating cases. Everything it does is for Your Majesty and we obey Your Majesty's orders. No one else can command us."

"And this Western Factory also has its own prison and its own government office."

"Your Majesty, isn't this a good thing?"

When Lu Yun said this, a classic line came to his mind.

You ask me what the Western Factory is!

I will take care of what the East Factory can't, and I will take care of it even more! Imperial power has granted me special permission to execute first and report later!

domineering!

After listening to Lu Yun's explanation, Liang Jing instantly had an understanding in his mind.

She stood up excitedly, "Yes!"

"Why didn't I think that if I wanted to strengthen the centralization of power, I would have to have a force that belongs exclusively to me."

"Your Majesty, I think the person in charge of the Western Factory should still be a eunuch, because we eunuchs are the most loyal to Your Majesty."

"If other officials were to take on this responsibility, they would most likely disobey Your Majesty, but we eunuchs would never do that."

Liang Jing suddenly understood.

When he said this, Liang Jing realized that Lu Yun had said so much just for himself.

My goodness! In order to enhance his own power, the supervisor of all officials actually fabricated such a government office.

This Lu Yun is really not simple at all!

However, Liang Jing also needs such an example to help himself grow faster.

So he didn't object.

Besides, Lu Yun and I do have a very good relationship, and we trust each other, right?

I'm afraid that in this huge palace, Lu Yun is the only one who can be trusted.

"Okay, I think the West Factory proposal you mentioned is very good."

"It's just that... if the West Factory wants to be established, it will face many difficulties. One of the main reasons is, Lu Yun, do you feel that you have been promoted too quickly?"

"Many ministers in the court are somewhat displeased with you."

"They all thought that the sudden appearance of such a eunuch by my side was not a good thing, as he was vicious and cunning."

"If you have an extremely great achievement, then they will all shut up and not say anything."

Lu Yun was stunned at this moment... What does it mean?

Liang Jing was saying that he should make achievements, and his achievements today were not big enough.

Moreover, they help the emperor to continue his family line every day. This kind of contribution is enormous!

"well……"

"I thought this kind of thing could be done with just a word from His Majesty, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult."

"Then forget it, Your Majesty. Just treat everything I said today as a dream."

Liang Jing glanced at him and smiled gently, "You don't have to be so depressed. There are plenty of opportunities."

"If you don't have this opportunity, I will create one for you."

“…”

After a while, the daughter of Right Prime Minister Wang An, Concubine De Wang Yanran, came in with a eunuch.

Just look at Wang Yanran, she looks very pure and is a standard beauty.

Her temperament is completely different from the two ladies I met before.

She looks like a young lady who came out of a scholarly garden, with an elegant temperament.

I feel that she must be well-read and a talented woman.

Lu Yun looked at her in a daze, thinking, such a beautiful Concubine De.

This empress is really squandering and has no idea how to be content.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, have you recovered today?"

"I heard from the Empress that Your Majesty has been feeling very tired these past few days and may be physically overwhelmed. So, she told me not to worry. I never expected Your Majesty to summon me today."

Liang Jing smiled awkwardly and said, "It's because your father is so powerful and is the right prime minister of the current dynasty."

If I don't take good care of you, your father might be unhappy.

"De Fei, come to my side."

"What have you been doing these days?"

Concubine De smiled awkwardly and said quickly, "I..."

"Your Majesty, I have been studying poetry and books recently."

"I am particularly fascinated by some ancient and modern poems. Who has caused Your Majesty to ignore me all this time?"

"I thought I was not important at all in your Majesty's heart."

Defei Wang Yanran said aggrievedly.
