"An ancient saying goes, only women and villains are difficult to raise!"
Eunuch Zhao took a sip of tea and saw Zhou Yi looking so proud, as if he was enjoying a monkey show.
"Now it seems that what the ancients said was wrong. Villains and women are far less dark and cunning than eunuchs."
Zhou Yi's eyes flashed with coldness, he sat opposite Eunuch Zhao, and said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you Eunuch Zhao for the tea. I will wait for you to drink it today. As long as Haosheng confesses, our family will not leave any of your clan's children!"
Eunuch Zhao's eyes flashed with surprise. He thought his last trump card to save his life was actually seen through.
"After Prince Jing, our family fell into decline, and we had no choice but to work as slaves. Since the day we entered the palace, we have never told anyone about our past life. How did Eunuch Yi know about it?"
"We have our own channels."
Zhou Yi Suddenly, Prince Jing is famous in the Great Qian Dynasty, which can be traced back to the founding period of Grand Ancestor.
Eunuch Zhao took out the account book from his sleeve and said, "You have already figured out the details of our family, so don't ask for the ancestors' gold medal. This is Directorate of Imperial Supplies's merchant list."
Zhou Yi quickly flipped through it. It recorded in detail the origins of the tribute merchants, their backers, and even their share of the profits with their backers.
The account book is a finger thick, densely packed with tribute entries, involving almost all court officials.
"This account book..."
Zhou Yi couldn't help but his eyes were red. Mastering this account book was equivalent to having evidence of the crimes of the court officials, and he could blackmail them into doing things at any time.
Now Zhou Yi holds two prison posts and is very powerful in the palace. However, his background is too low and he has basically no foundation outside the palace.
With this account book, it is easy to make up for the shortcomings, and the power of the inner court and the outer court is overwhelming.
Suddenly.
Zhou Yi thought of Old Lu's warning to "be cautious" and "abstain from greed", just like a basin of cold water being poured down from his head, and the real energy in his hands was flowing, crushing the account book to pieces.
"Hmph, you are about to die, yet you still dare to make lies and deceive the public to frame a high official in the imperial court!"
Eunuch Zhao was slightly startled, and finally looked at Zhou Yi with a straight eye, and praised, "No wonder our family fell into your hands, you are really not like ordinary people."
While he was talking, his Qiqiao bleeded and he died.
Zhou Yi was so frightened that he backed away and ordered the waiter to investigate. It turned out that the tea contained poison.
"Take everyone down and search our house carefully!"
After a while.
The chamberlain found a gold medal for immunity from death under Eunuch Zhao's bed, with the origin of the gold medal engraved on the back.
Grand Ancestor Nian Liuzi Prince Jing has made great achievements in battle. This certificate is specially issued to avoid serious crimes other than treason!
Three days later.
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Your Majesty, I have investigated the Rouge case, and the persons involved have been arrested with the Directorate of Palace Attendants sign."
Zhou Yi knelt in the hall and presented the memorial with both hands.
Eunuch Yuan came over to get the memorial and took a deep look at Zhou Yi. In the past three days, there had been great commotion inside and outside the palace. Execution Grounds also had his head chopped off for three days.
Thousands of people were escorted to Beijing from all over the country, and their homes were confiscated and beheaded on charges of treason and corruption.
The previous rectification of Directorate of Palace Affairs was only in the palace. After the Rouge case, no one in the inner or outer court knew that Eunuch Yi was ruthless and ruthless.
Emperor Zhengtong took the memorial and glanced at it casually. He already knew the story in advance through Pacification Office.
According to Pacification Office's report, the case was that the descendants of Prince Jing were unwilling to surrender and joined forces with a certain prince to do the unspeakable.
Zhou Yi The memorial didn't dare to be so clear. It just pointed out Eunuch Zhao's identity and presented him with a gold medal for immunity from death. The Nine Tribes were exiled to Northern Xinjiang instead.
Emperor Zhengtong quickly flipped through the list of people involved in the case. He didn't care how many people died and looked directly at the proceeds from the confiscation of the house.
Fifteen million taels!
"Well done."
Emperor Zhengtong nodded slightly, such a large amount of silver was enough for the army to conquer the west, and there were still two to three million taels left to repair the palace.
"I heard that many people sent you notes?"
"Your Majesty, this servant is terrified."
Zhou Yi kowtowed repeatedly and said, "I will abide by the laws of the country and not have contact with foreign ministers. I didn't answer any of those notes and turned them away!"
After experiencing the temptation of accounting books, Zhou Yi suddenly realized.
Emperor Zhengtong The reason for trust may be that force is second, but lack of foundation is the first.
Once he uses the rouge case to collude with foreign ministers, he may immediately lose his holy family, and his life may even be in danger, so he dare not accept anyone's note.
Of course, whoever handed over the note Zhou Yi knew that the corresponding merchant was outside the scope of the house raid.
Emperor Zhengtong snorted slightly, and then said in a different tone, "I will reward you for your merits. Directorate of Imperial Supplies will be supervised by your admiral. I will do my best in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty..."
Zhou Yi looked happy, things went smoother than expected. I thought I needed to support a puppet to Directorate of Imperial Supplies.
"Back off."
Emperor Zhengtong waved his hand and watched Zhou Yi leave happily, then turned to look at Eunuch Yuan who looked gloomy.
"Little Yuan, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, Superintendent of the Three Directorates is something that has never happened before in this country."
Eunuch Yuan next to him whispered, "Directorate of Palace Attendants is in charge of the guards, Directorate of Imperial Supplies is in and out, Directorate of Palace Affairs is in charge of the internal treasury, Eunuch Yi is more powerful than the chief admiral!"
The chief admiral of the Twelve Divisions has a distinguished status, but he cannot directly interfere with the admirals of each division. If there is any objection from the superiors and subordinates, they must report to His Majesty for decision.
"What I am going to do is something that has never been done before in this country!"
Emperor Zhengtong said slowly, "We need a sword-wielder, and Little Yi is just right. As long as he works faithfully, for the sake of the people of Daqing, it doesn't matter if he has some power."
"Your Majesty is holy."
Eunuch Yuan's eyes flashed with joy, and he had already predicted Zhou Yi's ending, which would definitely be introduced to quell public anger in the future.
Directorate of Palace Attendants.
Zhou Yi stared at the three gold seals on the table, doubts flashing in his eyes.
"It went so well. His Majesty just asked our admiral to supervise the third prison, and you are not afraid of any trouble?"
"In terms of loyalty and background, we are not ranked high. Compared with those old people in the palace, our only advantage is that... we dare to kill people and raid homes!"
Zhou Yi Thinking of this, I vaguely understood what His Majesty asked me to do.
"A killing knife, but how can there be constant knives in this world?"
At this time.
The godson hurried in and reported in a low voice, "Godfather, we finally found out who Empress's mother-in-law is."
"Talk about it."
Zhou Yi gathered his thoughts, and the balance in his heart was slowly tilting towards Empress. He could make a knife, but he didn't want to be used to anger the common people one day.
"The empress is actually a woman from the world..."
The godson said, "It is said that during the reign of the late emperor, your majesty was exiled to northern Xinjiang because of his father's crime. He was robbed by bandits. Empress empress saved your majesty's family with one person and one sword!"
"Huh?"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and subconsciously denied the rumor. How could there be bandits in Daqing who dared to attack Imperial Guards who was escorting the emperor's grandson.
"It's not impossible. Maybe a few princes can eliminate the trouble."
"However, our family has never believed in heroes saving beautiful women. According to what Old Lu said, based on the results, whoever benefits will be responsible..."
Zhou Yi immediately concluded that the bandit robbery must be planned by Empress, even though there was no evidence.
"No wonder Empress empress is eager to ask us to take sides. I'm afraid your majesty doesn't believe it, or doesn't care about the life-saving grace at all, and is wary of the person next to you!"
