You can’t fool anyone with such a dream, right?
So Wei Zhongxian and the other two quickly knelt on the ground and said, "This servant is guilty."
"I am guilty."
Zhu Youxiao's expression seemed to ease a little, and he said, "Then what do you have in mind?"
Wei Zhongxian and the other man hesitated, unable to think of a good solution. However, at this moment, taking power into their own hands was the most important thing, so Wei Zhongxian spoke up.
He hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should send someone to monitor the world. Since there are people plotting evil, then naturally sending someone to patrol the world is the most appropriate."
"The East Factory is willing to take over this matter. We will establish a special branch in each province and conduct local inspections every year. If anyone is plotting something illegal, we will immediately report it back to the capital."
Zhu Youxiao did not go to see Wei Zhongxian. It would be impossible for him to agree to such a thing.
Although the eunuchs and civil servants threw dirty water on each other, some of the things they said were true, and the bad things the civil servants said about the eunuchs were not all false.
For example, Zhu Youxiao could understand that eunuchs were greedy for money. After all, as a man, what he wanted in life were nothing more than a few things: beautiful women, money, or fame.
If you become a eunuch, your reputation will definitely be gone; if you want beautiful women, you have the desire but not the ability, so it doesn't matter. Then all you have left is money.
As a eunuch, there are two purposes for collecting money. One is to present it to the emperor, so that he can gain merit and get promoted; the other is to put it in his own pocket to make himself rich.
After all, as a eunuch, he will have no descendants, and the money will be enough to support himself in his old age when he leaves the palace.
Therefore, eunuchs all like money. If they go to local places, they will definitely extort bribes and levy heavy taxes. Zhu Youxiao is not surprised at all that they do so, so he does not think that eunuchs are all good people.
If we had listened to Wei Zhongxian and released them, the world would probably have been in chaos.
It didn't matter if he was making a fuss in the court or in the capital, no matter how big or small. But he absolutely couldn't do that down there; he had to maintain stability.
Maintaining stability is the most important thing.
Besides, my purpose is not to expand the power of the East Factory, so it would be strange if I agreed!
Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything, and the Jinyiwei Luo Sigong beside him could not stand it anymore.
What is this for?
Are you trying to steal our Jinyiwei’s business?
This job is most suitable for us Jinyiwei. The Dongchang and others should just stand aside. Why should we rush forward?
Luo Sigong then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it would be best to leave this matter to the Jinyiwei."
