"The lower officials only have the emperor in their hearts, and there is no party or not. Eunuch Li, don't think that everyone in this world has anything to do with the Donglin Party members. The lower officials have always admired the father-in-laws in the inner court, otherwise the lower officials would not have been sent to the Dongchang!"

Liu Shi said to Li Chaoqin without being soft or hard. Today he was determined to compete with these two big shots.

There is no love for no reason, nor hatred for no reason in the world. Liu Shi's move was not a sudden loss of mind, but a result of interests.

As we all know, since the opening of the East Factory, most of the selected players in the factory have been drawn from the Jinyiwei. Even though Emperor Xianzong did not trust the East Factory and turned to Wang Zhi to open the West Factory, the players assigned to them also came from the Jinyiwei. During the Zhengde period, the experts in the Jinyiwei simply drew people from the East Factory. Therefore, for two hundred years, the Jinyiwei has become the main source of the Dongfa series. The purpose of opening the East Factory was to detect illegal affairs of all officials, to serve as the emperor, and to monitor the Jinyi personal army. In the short-term Western Factory, the expert factory directly supervised the East Factory. This brought about an embarrassing and contradictory problem, that is, the East Factory was responsible for monitoring the Jinyiwei, and most of the fans who undertake this task came from the Jinyiwei, which is undoubtedly the story of the spear and shield.

Fortunately, for two hundred years, there was no dissonance between the factories and guards for this strange arrangement, and everyone was at peace. The only exception was that when Wang Zhi was admiring the West Factory, he discovered and paid attention to the problems of his subordinates, so he boldly activated a large number of civilians, such as the city spoilers, people from the rivers and lakes, officials from various departments, street vendors, etc. In short, Wang Jiangong completely purified the components of the West Factory's manuscripts with one knife, drove away a large number of Jinyi personal troops who had been transferred by the former emperor, thus truly starting the career of Xichang's agent independent of the East Factory and Jinyiwei, and the results were significant, making the West Factory famous and overwhelmed the East Factory, and the Jinyiwei's several heads. Xichang was not laid off until Wang Zhi lost power.

Because the West Factory is so famous, a hundred years later, whether it is the East Factory or the Jinyiwei people, they are obsessed with the West Factory back then, and remember how Wang Changgong carried forward the West Factory overnight. If Liu Shi remembers it correctly, he can be sure that the method Wang Zhi took was to "expand".

Of course, as long as it is not a different West Factory, it seems that it is not a big deal to expand the East Factory. Eunuch Wei wants to expand it as soon as he wants. Anyway, he is in charge of thousands of households. Except for these four large eunuchs, no one in the East Factory dares to say no to him. The factory is larger and has more people, and he will also increase his power, and he is even more powerful.

On the surface, things seemed like this, but Liu Shi didn't think much. What he saw from it was that Wei Zhongxian wanted to weaken the Jinyiwei and weaken the power of the thousand and hundreds of households who were from the Jinyiwei. This is not the most important thing. More importantly, Liu Shi believes that if the Dongchang expands, then his brother, Liu Qiao, the commander of the Beizhen Fushi, would not be promoted to the commander of the Jinyiwei as he wished.

You should know that although the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei are both directly obeying the emperor, the emperor cannot directly command the factory guards, so he must use two people to complete his control over the factory guards. These two people are the commander of the Jinyiwei and the eunuch in charge of the seals of the Dongchang. There is another difference between the two. The former is a normal person, and most of them are honored by the imperial concubine, while the latter is a eunuch in the palace. Generally, the eunuch who is eunuch in the Sili and the eunuch in charge of the pen can be supervised by the Dongchang.

The current commander of the Jinyiwei is Xun Qi Luo Sigong, an old man who has been serving as the commander of the Jinyiwei since the 23rd year of Wanli.

Luo Sigong is indeed an old man, older than Wei Zhongxian, and since the second year of the Tianqi period, he has stopped working at the Jinyiwei Yamen. Judging from the current signs, His Majesty the Emperor is about to re-appoint the new Jinyiwei Commander, who has replaced Luo Sigong who is too sick to get up. The candidate who is most likely to replace Luo Sigong as the new governor is Liu Qiao, the commander of the Beizhen Fushi, the biological brother of Liu Shi!

Like the six ministries of the imperial court, the Jinyiwei also had several institutions, one of which was the Han general who was in charge of the emperor's guards and the court's staff, and the other was the two divisions.

The two departments refer to the Investigation Department and the Du Fu Department. The former is responsible for the entry and exit of the Jinyiwei official documents, copying and archive sealing, and the functions of the six departments are similar to those of the six departments. The Du Fu Department is the key to the entire Jinyiwei, and is also divided into the North and South Du Fu Department.

The Nanzhen Fu Office is located in Nanjing, which is responsible for the crime investigation and weapon development of garrisons, while the Beizhen Fu Office is located in the capital, which is in charge of secret surveillance of vassal kings and officials in various places, and specializes in the imperial prison. You can directly obey the emperor without the authorization of the Three Laws, and use punishments to be extremely cruel. After the prison is completed, it is exclusive to the emperor and does not need to pass the commander of the Jinyiwei. If the Jinyiwei does not take charge of the imperial prison, you will definitely not interfere with the affairs of the Beizhen Fu Office.

It can be said that the Beizhen Fushi is the key point of the Jinyiwei and the soul. Commander Liu Qiao naturally became the second-ranked second among the Jinyiwei after the Du Commander. In this way, if Luo Sigong retreated, the greatest possibility of the candidate to replace him was Liu Qiao.

If Wei Zhongxian wants to expand the Dongchang, it is definitely impossible for him to be transferred from the Jinyiwei, because the personnel of the Jinyiwei are all registered in the Governor's Office of the Five Army. If all transferred to the Dongchang, wouldn't the Jinyiwei become an empty strait? And with Wang Zhi's lesson, Liu Shi naturally did not believe that Wei Zhongxian's expansion did not mean to target the Jinyiwei, because the Jinyiwei is different from the Dongchang. Although Xu Xianchun, Tian Ergeng, Xu Yunhe and others are the minions of their ears, eyes and ears, the power of the Jinyiwei is still held in the hands of his brother Liu Qiao, and Wei Zhongxian cannot directly control the Jinyiwei. The key point is that his brother Liu Qiao does not like Wei Zhongxian, and his in-laws are Huang Zunsu, a member of the Donglin Party, and his best friend is Gao Panlong.

Because his brother Liu Qiao was close to the Donglin Party, Wei Zhongxian repeatedly wanted to use the Jinyiwei's hands to eliminate some dissidents and could not do what he wanted. Moreover, within four years of being the Dongchang's command of the Thousand Houses of the Dongchang, he secretly resolved many investigations against the Donglin Party and firmly grasped the Jinyiwei's characters in the Dongchang, which made the Dongchang fail to become Wei Zhongxian's sharp claw.

Liu Shi would not be so stupid that he thought Wei Zhongxian was not aware of what he did. The reason why Wei was reluctant to attack him was not because of his brother Liu Qiao! If there was not a brother who served as the commander of the Northern Fushi Department, Liu Shi believed that with his actions over the past few years, Wei Zhongxian would have removed him long ago.

Just now when Liu Yingkun planned a fake imperial edict to kill Yang Rulong, Liu Shi smelled the danger signal that Wei Zhongxian was going to attack the Donglin Party members! If the Donglin Party collapsed, his brother Liu Qiao would definitely be implicated. Therefore, whether it was public or private, Liu Shi could not let Wei Zhongxian expand the Dongchang plan. He had the confidence to compete with Wei Zhongxian because he believed that the Jinyiwei men in the Dongchang would listen to him. If Liu Yingkun and Li Chaoqin dared to do anything, they would have to consider the danger of internal strife in the Dongchang.
