Wang Jin's East Factory had a bad reputation in the court.
Major officials also have complaints about such a powerful institution.
After all, they think that if the case is handled impartially, that's fine, but what if they want to frame someone?
The three major powers of arrest, interrogation and conviction were all held in one hand. Compared with government offices like the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, they were much inferior.
Therefore, everyone in the court was very afraid of the East Factory, especially since they knew that Wang Jin, the head of the East Factory, had even arranged spies in the homes of major officials. Unfortunately, these spies were hidden so deeply that they could not be found at all.
As a result, some ministers dared not do anything out of line in their daily lives. If they were caught, their careers would be over.
You know, if there was no East Factory, they could still manage things. After all, they were all colleagues in the court and would definitely give face.
But the key is that the East Factory can convict people without going through any organization and is only responsible to His Majesty the Emperor.
What should I do about this matter? Now that I’ve been caught, I have no choice but to plead guilty.
So, some officials thought.
How can we prevent the East Factory from interfering in our own affairs? Without asking Your Majesty to abolish the East Factory, just restrain it.
Moreover, not only officials in the capital, but also some local officials have such ideas.
This is why Lu An chose to support and believe in Lin Chong's advice.
He was a soldier, but when dealing with certain matters in his daily life, he also needed to deal with certain officials. After a few visits, he also knew the terrible power of the East Factory. When he thought about the historical records of some eunuchs abusing their power and misleading the emperor, he naturally came up with such thoughts.
But the problem is that Song Gongwen is different from other officials. He has come into contact with Wang Jin and even worked with him on official business.
Back in Longyang Prefecture, if it weren't for the help of this man's East Factory, it would have been almost impossible to succeed in the reform so quickly.
Furthermore, regardless of whether the other party was someone trusted by His Majesty, based on what he knew, he believed that Eunuch Wang would not do such a thing, so in the end, he still stood up and spoke.
"I understand the father-in-law's thoughts." Lin Chong paused, then said, "But you also know that this is a matter of great importance."
"Although the Baiyue are not as powerful as the grasslands, they have always been a major threat to our Great Wei. Not to mention that there is now a barbarian leader who commands hundreds of tribes and has very powerful forces under his command. If there are any problems."
"That would involve the safety of two hundred thousand soldiers and the entire southern border. Therefore, I believe it's better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go."
Everyone knew what Lin Chong meant. After all, this was not in the capital, but a battle outside.
"I agree with Commander Lin."
Lin Yuansong thought for a moment and spoke directly.
Although he has been a civil servant for many years, he still has the mindset of a military commander. With the war imminent, no problems can be allowed. This is an extraordinary period.
Lu An didn't say anything, but his meaning was very clear, which meant he agreed.
Furthermore.
Lin Chong had made it clear before that this action would not be a big deal and would only target Wang Jin.
More importantly, they didn't take any action, they just wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, so it didn't matter.
Both of them knew that Lin Chong did this for the sake of the court, to avoid making a big fuss, and also to stabilize the morale of the army.
"Alright, I agree with this." Song Gongwen thought for a moment and continued, "But I have one thing to say. We must first understand the specific cause of this matter. Although we must use necessary methods when necessary, we must never wrongly accuse a good person."
His meaning was very clear, that is, he still did not think there was anything wrong with Wang Jin, but because the matter was of great importance, he could not be careless.
In this way, everyone agreed to do something to Wang Jin, but before taking action, they must investigate thoroughly.
What if it turns out to be a misunderstanding? Wouldn't that be self-defeating?
"good."
Lin Chong nodded and said, "We will first ask that eunuch Wang about the specific situation and then deal with it. But as I said before, no matter what, we need to make a thorough plan."
After all, Wang Jin controls the East Factory and is deeply trusted by His Majesty, so this kind of thing cannot be done directly.
Make arrangements for all possible adverse situations before taking action.
As for the other two, there was nothing wrong with it.
After all, Song Gongwen was the person with the highest status present, so his words naturally carried great weight.
Then, Lin Chong discussed the details of the operation with everyone. First, he had to ask Wang Jin out alone, and finally determine what was going on with the singing and dancing girls in the palace. At the same time, he secretly prepared his men so that if anything was wrong, they could deal with it better.
As for the time of action, it was scheduled for the evening three days later.
It’s really late today and there’s no time to prepare.
This time.
Lin Chong was the chief, with Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong as his assistants, while Lu An was responsible for stabilizing the 200,000-strong army to prevent any mistakes.
The most important link among them is Lu An. After all, as long as his army does not cause trouble, there will be no problem.
"Okay, let's do it this way. As for asking Wang Jin out, let me take care of it."
Lin Chong made the final decision, although he was not the highest-ranking official present.
But since he was the one who proposed this matter, he is naturally the one who took the lead.
And he also has his own thoughts in his mind.
That is, regardless of whether Wang Jin was found to be a problem, as the initiator, he would bear the greatest responsibility. Lin Chong did this, even risking his life, not wanting the other three to be implicated.
