As he was lost in thought, Gu Ziyu came over.
He was furious, like a firecracker that had been lit:
"Your Majesty, are you just going to let Liu Jin do all sorts of evil deeds?"
"Not only did they disband the perfectly good foreign affairs factories, but they also used the opportunity of training the regiments to allow the newly appointed Minister of War, Cao Yuan, to form cliques within the regiments, constantly praising Chancellor Liu, which made the Duke of Yingguo sick with anger!"
The Duke of England is quite old and is an important in-law of the Gu family; the two families have always been closely connected.
Lu Xingjian's expression remained unchanged: "Anything else?"
He understood Liu Jin's intentions.

Chief Eunuch Li and the imperial heir in the Empress's womb became cannon fodder.
The internal and external affairs factory changed hands.
It's obvious who the beneficiaries are.
