Chapter 331 Why retreat as progress

Chapter 3 Trinity

Although Liu Jin said these words calmly with a serious expression, his heart was pounding. He tried his best to hide his nervousness, but the slightly shaking muscles on his cheeks still exposed his heart. He was waiting for Song Nan's reaction. Generally speaking, his purpose was not to hide Song Nan's. The reason why he felt nervous was because of Song Nan's means and influence in front of the emperor.

If Song Nan finds an irrefutable reason, it is difficult to say whether Zhengde will continue to agree with his suggestion. After all, Song Nan still has a position in the eyes of the emperor. If he and several of his men had instilled the idea of restricting Song Nan's expansion of Jinyiwei in the emperor's ears, if Song Nan's recent reaction had not been too eye-catching, Zhengde might not have even mentioned this matter, let alone talking about it to Song Nan in person today.

"Hahaha..." Song Nan laughed and stroked his palm.

"What's wrong? Lord Song, don't our family think well?" Liu Jin asked.

Song Nan shook her head and smiled and said, "It's so thoughtful. Grandpa Liu is not a leader of the inner court. Why didn't Song Nan remember this method? In this way, the communication between the factory guards must be smooth, and there will be no such a black and white joke. It's very good and creative.

Liu Jin didn't know whether Song Nan was saying the opposite or the right thing. She carefully tried, "In this way, Lord Song doesn't object to my suggestion?"

Song Nan said, "What am I against? This is good for the court. Why should I oppose it? What reason do I have to object?

Liu Jin was overjoyed and patted his thighs and said, "Lord Song is still decisive, but he will definitely make a decision on anything that is beneficial to the court and will never delay. This is what Liu Jin admires you the most. Your Majesty, the maidservant said that Lord Song will definitely agree.

Zhengde's expression was a little worried. He didn't believe that Song Nan would not see that this was a weakening of his rights. He thought Song Nan would definitely oppose this move, but he didn't expect Song Nan to accept it. It was really quite surprising.

"Well... Song Nan, after all, this matter is a major matter involving your Jinyiwei government. Don't you think about it?"

Zhengde couldn't help reminding Song Nan that although it was extremely necessary for Liu Jin to establish a new Yamen general factory, he vaguely reminded himself to limit Song Nan's rights by expanding Jinyiwei and marrying with Britain. Zhengde himself felt that it was necessary to control Song Nan's momentum, but it was so smooth. Li's agreement made Zhengde feel that he had bullied Song Nan.

"Your Majesty, I know what the emperor is thinking. The emperor is afraid that I will be dissatisfied with the weakening of the power and responsibility of Jinyiwei. The emperor doesn't have to think so. To be honest, I have always felt tired. The affairs of the Jinyiwei government is complicated, and I am also tired and want to be able to take off some heavy burdens on my shoulders. If it hadn't been for what the emperor said when he appointed me as the commander of Jinyiwei on that day, I was afraid that I would have failed the emperor's trust, and I would have proposed to resign from this command. Now that Eunuch Liu can make such a good proposal, I would not have been too happy.

Zhengde hurriedly said, "I'm relieved that you can think so. However, Jinyiwei's command does not allow you to resign. Liu Jin wants to reopen the western factory. First, she can lead the factory guard to coordinate, and second, she can divide some powers and responsibilities. You can also take a break and come to the palace to play and talk with me if you have nothing to do. Isn't it good for us as before?

Song Nan smiled like a flower, but her heart was cold. Zhengde may be a slip of the tongue, but such a clear proposal to divide some powers and responsibilities obviously exposed his inner thoughts. This idea is either Liu Jin's slander, or some of his behaviors have touched Zhengde's heart and aroused Zhengde's disgust or vigilance. The princess's marriage is a reason. Since then, Song Nan has come up this idea from her heart from time to time, but today's idea is even stronger. Lie and Song Nan are also more convinced that the regression she has made today is the right choice.

Originally, Song Nan planned to get a suitable harvest in exchange even if she retreated, but now, it is obvious that she can't have this idea. Looking at Liu Jin's successful, but she couldn't fight back, she felt really bad. Song Nan's mind turned around and suddenly came to what Zhang Yongye said the day before yesterday.

"Lord Song, Liu Jin is too arbitrary. Even if Gao Feng, Wei Bin and Ma Yongcheng are Liu Jin's confidants, there are also people behind them. Sooner or later, the congregation will betray their relatives..."

This passage was said by Song Nan when he asked Zhang Yong about the pattern in the inner court. At that time, Song Nan didn't care. He always thought it was Zhang Yong's hatred for Liu Jin, but at this moment, this may be a pertinent word for Liu Jin.

Thinking of Zhang Yong's experience, he was originally the same left and right hand beside the prince as Liu Jin, but he was only given a chicken rib position as a royal supervisor without any contradiction. Thinking about it, after Qiu Ju's death, Liu Jin's absolute confidant, Si Lijian Bingbi Gao Feng wanted to take over the position of Dongchang, but Liu Jin ruthlessly refused, but he was a piece of him. Sitting in the position of the supervisor of the East Factory made Gao Feng mutter in private for many days; Song Nan heard all these things.

This is not the case between herself and Liu Jin. Liu Jin was able to say that she was a horse before she gained power, but now she is now a deadly enemy. The reason why she can still live a smooth life is not only by the strong enough relationship with Zhengde, but also because of her understanding of Liu Jin and not pressing the treasure on Liu Jin.

There is no doubt that Liu Jin is a person who can only share adversity and not wealth.

Song Nan's heart lit up, and a plan came to his mind. Although he didn't know if it could work, he always had to fight at this point.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu, I have no objection at all. If I hear correctly, Eunuch Liu wants to resettle the West Factory, which can not only strengthen intelligence detection and exploration inside and outside Beijing, but also lead the East Factory and the Jinyiwei Office of the West Factory to play a unified and coordinated effect, right?"

Liu Jin laughed and said, "That's what our family means."

Song Nan said, "The idea of genius! But I think it's a little irregular."

Liu Jin was stunned and said, "Why is it not in compliance?"

Song Nan said, "As far as I know, there seems to be a precedent for the opening of the West Factory during the Chenghua period, but at that time, the West Factory did not have the authority to lead the factory guard. The West Factory was nominally still a detective department. If the West Factory is reopened, it does not seem to conform to the ancestral system."

Zhengde said, "Is that right? Liu Jin, why didn't you tell me this?

Liu Jin rolled his eyes and said, "What are you afraid of? The emperor's decree gave him a function. What does it matter?"

Song Nan shook his head and said, "No, it's not that the emperor doesn't know the mouths of those civil officials in the foreign court. They are worried that they can make trouble. The West Factory was banned because it was too swaggering that year, and it was not in accordance with the reopening the book, let alone given him greater responsibilities. Is the emperor willing to Did you see the snowflakes-like proposal sent to the desk and the endless complaints and opposition in the early morning?

Zhengde said angrily, "Is it possible that I can reopen a western factory? I don't believe it."

Liu Jin sneered and said, "Foreign officials are willing to break their mouths and let them go. At worst, the emperor will teach them another lesson."

Song Nan sneered and said, "Mr. Liu likes to do it recklessly. Obviously, there is a better way to avoid conflicts. Why do you have to provoke public anger? The emperor and the officials of the foreign court are not enemies, and the officials are also the officials of my Ming Dynasty. Can it be a mountain thief?

Liu Jin was speechless, and Zhengde raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, there is another way?"

Song Nan nodded and said, "Yes, I suggest that there is no need to reopen the West Factory, but to open a new government office, or it can be called the 'inner factory' government office, which is specially responsible for the head of the factory. Isn't it possible for others to find no reason to object?"

Zhengde frowned and nodded, "Open the factory? This is a new idea, Liu Jin, what do you think?

Liu Jin thought for a moment and said, "It's a good idea, but after all, the internal factory has no previous system to follow. The number of riding and the setting of officials may be restricted. The internal factory can be opened, and the western factory should also be reset, which can achieve the purpose of the general system, and can also increase the ability of Wei Tiqi in Beijing Central Factory and enhance the ability to handle cases and security."

Zhengde frowned and said, "Are they all open? Is this manpower a little too much? The financial resources of the Ministry of Internal Affairs may be tight, and the ministers may also complain that I have raised so many cavalry.

Song Nan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Grandpa Liu will coordinate these things by himself. What are we afraid of raising tens of thousands of Ti horses in the Ming Dynasty? Even if you raise hundreds of thousands, you can't stand it, Mr. Liu, don't you think so?

Liu Jin didn't know what was wrong with Song Nan. He made it clear that he was bullying him today and was submissive without any resistance. That can also be interpreted as Song Nan's knowledge of current affairs, but this boy was dizzy and sent an internal factory office for nothing after being spared to the Xichang office, which was really confusing.

It is necessary to know that the same intelligence agency is. The more the government office is set up, the more important the Jinyiwei Yamen will be. As long as the strength of the inner court's east and west factories is constantly filled, within a few years, the Jinyiwei government office may become chicken ribs, and Song Nan will return to his hometown.

Although Liu Jin muttered a little, he thought that he had taken a big advantage today, and there was no need to be suspicious. Seeing Song Nan smiling at him stupidly, he also responded with a smile. The two were like a pair of good friends, smiling innocently and unschemingly.
