Although Yu Maoheng said these words with a dark face, Wei Zhongxian didn't care because he knew that Yu Maoheng was just acting.
Without the order of Your Majesty, it is impossible for me to go to the Censorate to arrest someone. I don't have the courage to do that. This is a clear fact.
Yu Maoheng did this to show his subordinates that he was an official who dared to confront them, and also to show that he was an official with principles.
Wei Zhongxian didn't care about what Yu Maoheng did.
Over the years, the East Factory has been used as a shield more than once or twice, and this time they are cooperating with my work. Normally, they throw dirty water on me, and I can't do anything about it, let alone now?
"Lord Yu, I just came back from the palace. This is the order of His Majesty." Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.
Naturally, there is nothing to hide about this matter. Since His Majesty has told me, it is a clear intention; otherwise, His Majesty would only hint at it, so there is no need for me to hide it.
Besides, such things cannot be done without clear intentions.
After hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Yu Maoheng's expression remained grim, but he nodded and said, "Then I won't say anything. However, this is the Censorate after all, and arresting people in public will have a bad impact. How about Eunuch Wei tell me the names of the people you've arrested, and I'll have someone call them here?"
This kind of proposal and request basically depends on the ability of the official who makes the request. If his status is high and his power is great enough, then it will naturally be agreed to.
Yu Maoheng is naturally such an official now, and Wei Zhongxian will naturally not refuse the request he puts forward.
If Wei Zhongxian did not agree, it would mean that Wei Zhongxian was not giving face, and it also meant that Wei Zhongxian deliberately wanted to intimidate Yu Maoheng.
However, at this time, Wei Zhongxian could not refuse this favor, so he nodded and said with a smile: "That would be the best, then I will trouble you, Lord Yu."
In Wei Zhongxian's view, Yu Maoheng would be most beneficial to him in this position.
Because from the current situation, this is the period when Wei Zhongxian has the best relationship with the Censorate. The number of memorials impeaching him from the Censorate has decreased a lot, and he is also happy to have a good relationship with Yu Maoheng.
At the same time, Wei Zhongxian had another idea in his mind, which was whether he could find an opportunity to pull Yu Maoheng to his side.
If he succeeds, it will be equivalent to cutting off one of Chen Hong's arms, and at the same time he will have extended his hand into the Censorate, which will bring many benefits to his future work.
However, Wei Zhongxian's idea was futile, as Yu Maoheng knew very well who he belonged to.
Yu Maoheng and Chen Hong were just using Chen Hong as a messenger to establish a communication channel between him and His Majesty, but it did not mean that Yu Maoheng wanted to surrender to Chen Hong.
Soon, several people were called over, and the leader was Li Mao.
When Li Mao saw Wei Zhongxian sitting there, his expression did not change.
Because after Wei Zhongxian came here, Li Mao was already prepared in his heart, or he had been prepared to be caught in the previous few days.
Wei Zhongxian did not give Li Mao a chance to speak, and directly winked at his own people standing on the side.
Several people came forward and pinned them down, tied their hands together, gagged them one by one, and took them out together.
The purpose of the East Factory is very simple, that is, not to let Li Mao and others shout whatever they want. Who knows what kind of words Li Mao and others will shout at this time?
If anyone says anything that is unfavorable to Your Majesty, Duke Du of Wei will suffer the consequences.
Yu Maoheng did not say anything about the actions of Wei Zhongxian's men. He was also worried that those people would shout indiscriminately, which would have a bad impact on him.
So when the person was taken out, Yu Maoheng didn't say a word, but just watched quietly.
In fact, those people did want to shout something, and they were still struggling when they were being dragged out, but they were being held down and could not make any sound.
"Since we have caught the person, we will take our leave." Wei Zhongxian stood up, bowed to Yu Maoheng, and said with a smile.
"Then I will not delay the eunuch's business. Cui Chengxiu, please see the eunuch off for me." Yu Maoheng directly carried Cui Chengxiu out and asked him to be responsible for contacting Wei Zhongxian.
"Eunuch Wei, please come this way." Cui Chengxiu walked to Wei Zhongxian with a smile and made a gesture of invitation.
Looking at Wei Zhongxian's back as he left, Yu Maoheng stroked his beard gently and a smile appeared on his face.
From today on, the Censorate has officially entered a new era.
Yu Maoheng's gaze also fell on Cui Chengxiu beside Wei Zhongxian, and some ideas gradually came to his mind.
In Yu Maoheng's view, Cui Chengxiu could be used by him, a man who was like a knife. If he were to be regarded as a cruel official in ancient times, it would be quite appropriate.
It seems that we still need to give Cui Chengxiu some more praise.
