The Young Ranger Jiang Yin

Chapter 371: Emperor and Ministers

The banquet was set, but there were not many people.

Of course, this kind of banquet wouldn't require too many people.

Murong Wudi did not hide his intention to win over Jiang Yin and Haitang, so both Jiang Yin and Haitang understood this.

"The Murong family's relationship with the East Factory is not good. Now that they are showing goodwill to us, they probably want to use our strength to fight against the East Factory."

On the way, Haitang expressed her guess.

"Madam Shufei is a favored concubine after all. Does the East Factory really dare to take action against the Murong family?"

Jiang Yin was a little curious.

After all, in this world, Dongchang is not the only dominant power.

With the Hulong Villa and the Six Gates around, the East Factory cannot do whatever it wants.

Furthermore, the emperor’s power cannot be underestimated.

Since dealing with Wei Zhongxian, the emperor has regained control of the Western Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and now the power in his hands is not weak.

Yu Huatian from the Western Factory and Li Gexiao from the Imperial Guard are both experts.

And now that they are being trained by the emperor, their cultivation will naturally be further improved.

Especially Yu Huatian. When Jiang Yin learned that the Sun Moon Sect was originally a powerful underworld force in the Ming Dynasty, he knew that the original version of the Sunflower Manual must be in the palace.

If Yu Huatian could gain the emperor's trust, the emperor would certainly hand over this magical skill to Yu Huatian.

Yu Huatian is naturally gifted. If he could obtain the Sunflower Manual, his cultivation would probably advance by leaps and bounds, and he might even surpass Cao Zhengchun in one fell swoop.

Of course, these are just Jiang Yin's guesses, but they are very likely.

He still needs to remain vigilant about this matter.

"If it was openly, the East Factory would not dare to act recklessly. But what the East Factory is best at is implicating others. Just like the incident with the Minister of War implicated the entire Yang family and General Zhou Huaian.

Now that the Eastern Depot has captured Concubine Shu's mentor, Censor Fang, they are probably planning to use Censor Fang to throw dirty water on Concubine Shu.

Fortunately, Censor Fang kept his mouth shut and did not give in for the time being. But with the methods used by the East Factory, I'm afraid the outcome will not be good.

"My foster father has been trying to deal with this matter, but the East Factory is powerful, and Censor Fang did say something wrong, which displeased the emperor, so it is so difficult to break the situation."

Jiang Yin suddenly realized.

"The East Factory has always used this method to deal with people. First they set up a crime, then they continue to fabricate false evidence.

In the end, they will send someone to assassinate him so that there will be no evidence.

These were the methods they had used to deal with court officials over the years. Although my adoptive father wanted to stop them, he was restricted in every way.

He could only save one person at a time and could not take the initiative to attack.

This may be a passive position for him as a member of the royal family. His reputation is too high, and he is afraid of causing the emperor to be wary. "

Having said that, Haitang's face was full of helplessness.

Hulong Villa is famous, but it also has many difficulties.

No matter how powerful the East Depot is, it is ultimately second only to one emperor. It is wishful thinking for a eunuch to become emperor.

But Zhu Wusi is different. He is a member of the royal family. If his reputation is too high, it will inevitably affect the throne.

This is something no emperor wants to see.

So Haitang knew Zhu Wusi’s difficulties.

Jiang Yin just smiled faintly when he heard this.

"Haitang, as an insider, you may not understand some things, but when you step out, you may be able to see something slightly different."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Haitang was puzzled.

"Although the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis has difficulties, it's not that he has no way to solve them, it's just that he doesn't want to solve them. There are many people who are more powerful than their masters, but not all of them can't have a good ending.

There is always a way.

If I were the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis, in this situation, I could choose to defile myself. Greed for money, lust, disrespect for scholars, disrespect for ghosts and gods, etc., are all ways to defile oneself.

If Tiedan Shenhou had done any of these, his reputation would not be so great.

But he didn't.

This is already intriguing.

Judging from his current performance, he is a perfect person.

Being a perfect person in the court is really a terrible thing.

Moreover, the court is not supported by him alone, so he does not need to build such a perfect image. "

Haitang was shocked when she heard this.

She really hadn't thought about these questions.

In her heart, Zhu Wusi is like a god.

If there really is a perfect person in the world, she believes it must be Zhu Wusi.

But now that she heard Jiang Yin say this, she felt that all this was indeed terrifying. A person whose depth could not be seen, whose weaknesses could not be seen, and whose thoughts were unknown, held great power, was a member of the royal family, and had great prestige and popularity among the people. Which emperor would not be afraid of him?

"Do you also think that my adoptive father has a rebellious heart?"

"No, I just think that it is natural that the emperor is afraid of the actions of Tiedan Shenhou. If Tiedan Shenhou remains loyal to the emperor and patriotic until the end of his life, he will be remembered for generations.

But if he rebels one day, then..."

Jiang Yin said this and said no more.

He knew Zhu Wusi's true face, but there were some things he couldn't tell.

The reason why he told Haitang all this now was just to give her a reminder.

If she continues to treat Zhu Wusi as a god, she will definitely be hurt in the future.

Since Jiang Yin regarded her as a friend, he felt that he should do something for her.

Haitang was silent for a moment, then looked up and met Jiang Yin's eyes.

"You have a point. But I still choose to believe my foster father. For so many years, he has taught us to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. I don't believe that a person can pretend for a lifetime.

One day, the world will know that my adoptive father is such a consistent person."

Seeing Haitang's determined look, Jiang Yin was stunned. He actually underestimated the importance of Zhu Wusi in her heart.

Jiang Yin smiled and said, "If that's the case, it would be great. As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, I hope to have wise rulers and loyal ministers. This way, we can maintain peace for now.

We have strayed off topic, let’s talk about the Murong family.”

"Ah."

Haitang nodded, knowing that there was no point in continuing to discuss this matter.

Moreover, Jiang Yin’s words just now did make her a little shaken.

Although she said she chose to believe Zhu Wushi, the originally indestructible image of Zhu Wushi in her heart suddenly became a little misty.

Perhaps she needs to clear away the fog before she can re-establish herself as the flawless Iron-Hearted God.

"According to what you just said, the Murong family wants to win us over to resist the evil hands of the East Factory?"

"That should be the case. But the person they are trying to win over is you, not me. After all, I am from the Hulong Villa, and they want to avoid suspicion.

The emperor would never be happy to see his favorite concubine and his adoptive father have too close a relationship."

"I see."

"What do you think? Do you want to help the Murong family?" "Don't worry, let's see how they can win me over first."

Jiang Yin smiled and then stopped.

Because the banquet hall is right in front of us.
