"Catch them, of course they must be caught. Not only that, they must be caught, but they must also be severely punished!"
Ying Yuan responded immediately without any hesitation.
If we spend two days investigating the case, I'm afraid there will be a lot of injustice.
Moreover, Wei Zhongxian was a treacherous minister. According to his character, he would definitely arrest people indiscriminately.
By that time, people in Xianyang were in panic.
Even if the enemy does not attack, I am afraid there will be a mutiny.
By then, everyone from the royal family and nobles to the common people will think that I am a tyrant because I favor eunuchs.
Then, wouldn’t the national strength decline?
Wei Zhongxian is a talented person, and it seems that he needs to be put to good use.
After receiving the emperor's order, Wei Zhongxian nodded and said:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to complete this mission, but most of the people involved in this case are officials in the court.
To arrest them, I'm afraid I need the approval of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. Even to torture them, it depends on the Ministry of Justice's opinion. I'm afraid..."
Hearing this, Ying Yuan frowned slightly and said:
"I have said before that the East Factory can arrest people at will without going through a joint trial by the Three Departments.
Don’t you understand what I mean?”
"But if those officials use the Three Departments to pressure me and I refuse to be arrested, what should I do then?" Wei Zhongxian asked.
Ying Yuan said in a deep voice: "I don't want to say any more unnecessary words. If anyone dares to resist, they will be killed on the spot!
In this case, all those involved will be severely punished, with no upper limit! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian kowtowed and knelt, saying, "I obey your order."
Zhao Yun, who was in charge of guarding outside the palace, heard their conversation because of his great martial arts skills and sharp eyes and ears.
At this moment, he was muttering to himself.
Everyone says that His Majesty the Emperor is a tyrant.
However, if he is a tyrant monarch, how can he show no tolerance to treacherous ministers?
No upper limit...
Even during the anti-corruption campaign when the late emperor was alive, it was not done this way.
This only shows that Your Majesty still hopes that there will be fewer incompetent rulers in the world.
Combined with your Majesty's recent actions, it is not difficult to infer that your Majesty is actually a capable monarch.
He is a wise ruler!
Serving a wise ruler is exactly what I, Zhao Zilong of Changshan, wish for!
...
As soon as Wei Zhongxian left, Ying Yuan's mood gradually improved.
As for the memorial sent by the right prime minister Cai Jing, he threw it behind his mind.
With nothing to do, he decided to go out of the palace for a walk.
After all, I have been in this world for many days, but I have never even visited the city of Xianyang.
"Where is Zhao Gao?"
Ying Yuan spoke.
"The servant is here."
Zhao Gao appeared and responded.
Ying Yuan ordered: "Prepare two sets of plain clothes and follow me out of the palace."
plainclothes?
Leave the palace?
These are extraordinary times.
If danger occurs, it will be terrible.
Zhao Gao asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, do you need some guards?"
"No need, just you and me."
Ying Yuan now wishes someone would assassinate him.
After hearing the emperor's voice, Zhao Gao didn't dare to say anything more.
However, when he left Xuanzheng Hall and prepared to change into plain clothes, he said to Zhao Yun:
"Guard Zhao, His Majesty will be leaving the palace with me later and no one else will be allowed to accompany us, but you also know that the country has been in turmoil recently.
Now we are in the midst of war. If Your Majesty encounters danger and there is no one to protect you, you and I will be to blame.
I've heard that Guard Zhao is highly skilled in martial arts. After Your Majesty and I leave the palace, you will lead your men to quietly follow and protect Your Majesty's safety."
Hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Please rest assured, eunuch."
He has no good feelings towards eunuchs.
It’s just to protect His Majesty the Emperor, who is a wise ruler.
He has no choice but to take responsibility.
......
Imperial city.
East Editor Factory.
Wei Zhongxian has mobilized all his men.
He looked at the East Factory personnel standing side by side and said ambitiously:
"Just now, this Governor has asked His Majesty for instructions. Any officials involved in our investigation can be arrested.
If you dare to disobey, you will be killed on the spot. You all come from poor backgrounds and have been oppressed by those treacherous officials in the court for a long time. Now is the time to bring peace to this world."
Hear the sound.
Everyone in the East Factory was delighted.
Not all the people here are eunuchs.
However, he must have been carefully selected by Wei Zhongxian.
The vast majority of them are children of common people.
Those corrupt officials often bully and exploit them.
Now, there is finally a chance to bring these corrupt officials to justice. How can they not be excited?
Your Majesty, you are truly a wise ruler!
"Please give the order, Lord Governor!"
"Please give the order, Lord Governor!"
“…”
Thousands of people spoke in unison.
The sound was so loud, like a bolt from the blue.
Seeing that the time had come, Wei Zhongxian stopped talking and began to arrange personnel to go to every corner of Xianyang City to capture people.
The people he prosecuted this time were basically officials below the third rank.
Because he thought it was not the right time to move against the senior officials in the court.
Starting with those who hold low-ranking but important positions will serve as a warning to others.
When the power of the East Factory expands in the future, we will help Your Majesty to investigate officials above the third rank.
......
at the same time.
Ying Yuan and Zhao Gao had also left the city.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, were now strolling on the streets near the imperial city.
