Lu Yun's words surprised everyone. They didn't expect that he would agree to release the person so easily.
Liang Jing couldn't figure out what Xiao Yunzi was thinking, but it had to be said that there didn't seem to be any big problem with the West Factory doing this.
Besides, it was she who gave the Western Factory such great power, so naturally the Western Factory had to do something.
The price of food is closely related to the people. Once any problem occurs, it will be difficult for anyone to estimate.
However, Master Liu still refused to give up. Even though he had already agreed to release the person, he still knelt on the ground and spoke coldly.
"Your Majesty, I don't think the Western Factory should be disbanded. The existence of such a force in our Great Zhou is simply a huge threat!"
"Didn't the two Prime Ministers say this before? Eunuchs ruining the country is no random statement. The Qin Dynasty was destroyed because of eunuchs. We can't go down this old path!"
"Your Majesty, eunuchs are still eunuchs after all, and they are not worthy of public appearances. Your Majesty has been favoring a eunuch, which is difficult for most people to accept, let alone us ministers."
"Your Majesty, do you want to be a tyrant? An emperor who relies heavily on eunuchs will ultimately not be recognized by everyone and may even be rumored to be a tyrant.
Your Majesty is diligent in his work and loves his people, how could he be a tyrant? Your Majesty would not want such a thing to happen!"
Liang Jing sneered when he heard this. He didn't expect that you would use such language to threaten me?
Why would I be afraid of being called a tyrant by the people? As long as I can live in peace and security.
It is enough to make the people think that I am a good emperor. What does using eunuchs have to do with this?
This is simply forced binding. What Master Liu said is really interesting. Does he really think that he can impress me like this?
ridiculous!
Liang Jing sneered and explained to Taifu Liu: "Taifu, I don't think you can control what I want to do or say."
"What's wrong with using eunuchs? I just want to use eunuchs, not you ministers. Also, I want to ask you why the Western Factory can't be used!"
"If you ministers haven't done anything wrong, like, the Western Factory, you don't have to be afraid, instead of bringing this up every day!"
Imperial Tutor Liu quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I and the other officials are not afraid of Tibet, nor do we have any ulterior motives. We simply feel that the Western Factory has too much power."
"At first, I thought the West Factory had little to offer me, but now that the West Factory's power is growing, I still think the same thing..."
Liang Jing had heard it no less than a hundred times. This Taifu Liu had mentioned it several times today. The Western Factory had too much power. Is it necessary to keep it like this?
She knew very well that these officials kept talking about this matter, and they must be worried about something in their hearts. They must be scared!
If you weren't afraid, how could you keep talking about it?
As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. They must have done something wrong when they said this...
Although, Liang Jing sometimes turned a blind eye and would only use these things to threaten them when they went too far.
"Alright, you don't need to say any more of these words, and there's no need for you, Grand Tutor Liu, to say more. I have my own plans, and whether the Western Factory withdraws or not has nothing to do with you!"
"Do you really think that I don't know what's in your mind?"
"Dismissed!"
“…”
When most people had left, Lu Yun came to find Liang Jing.
As soon as he entered, Liang Jing looked very angry and questioned Lu Yun.
"What's going on? Tell me."
"Why did you suddenly agree? Now that you've arrested the person, you should thoroughly interrogate and question him."
"Since you've already done this evil thing, you should ask them to reveal their true intentions instead of just agreeing to it casually and making me lose face here."
"I thought you would be very tough and wouldn't easily agree to release him..."
Lu Yun hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, don't you still trust me? How could I possibly embarrass you?"
"Those ministers are indeed very hateful."
"This Liu Taifu is truly disgusting. Your Majesty, I did promise to release him, but I didn't say when."
"If they want me to release them, then I have to ask them clearly before I can release them. They didn't tell me the specific time. What can they say?"
Liang Jing was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Xiao Yunzi to have such a trick. She never expected it.
This was a deception for Tutor Liu, and on the surface it meant releasing the person.
But Lu Yun never said when to release the people, nor did he say to release them immediately. He just said to release them, so the time limit was not particularly clear.
People must be released, but there is no specific information on when and how to release them.
It's like deceiving them.
Liang Jing was thoughtful at this moment, and suddenly realized that he had never expected that there was such a trick.
Xiao Yunzi is really amazing. He can remain calm in the face of danger and is not at all inferior to Master Liu in the hall.
"Xiao Yunzi, these ministers have been putting pressure on the government recently. They have never wanted to eliminate the Western Factory. They want to eliminate you. What do you think?"
Lu Yun looked very calm, "Your Majesty, are you going to eliminate me?"
"Your Majesty, are you really willing to do that? I am yours. If Your Majesty eliminates me, what will you do in the future? What will you do if Your Majesty thinks of me again in the future?"
Liang Jing snorted in surprise when he heard his words and said angrily.
"What should I do? Why did I think of you?"
"Alright, alright, go check it out. Have you found anything?"
Lu Yun nodded. "Actually, I also hid something in the hall. I just said that a businessman did this kind of thing."
“But in fact, after interrogation by our West Factory, several businessmen have admitted that it was all a play they staged, and they acted simultaneously.
What’s more important is that the few stores that weren’t looted were actually connected to them, meaning they were the ones who made the money.”
"This is indeed a bit surprising. For such a big drama, I absolutely don't believe that there is no one behind it."
"Your Majesty, I believe this matter is of great importance and will definitely yield a significant result. Currently, the most suspicious individual should be Imperial Tutor Liu.
After all, he has always been quite nervous and has always been against targeting these grain merchants."
"More importantly, this Liu Taifu has been retired and has only recently returned. We in the West Factory can't hold on to him at all."
"We didn't know what he was doing behind the scenes, but now that he's back, we at the West Factory will definitely keep him under surveillance."
Liang Jing nodded, "Okay, that's it."
"I hope so."
