Chapter 190 The Qi'an Department is different from the Embroidered Uniform Guard
After returning to the palace, Ye Wuwei carried the red sandalwood box given to him by Shui Changqing and entered Qi Wushuang's bedroom.
Ye Wuwei opened the wooden box, which was filled with 1000-gram gold bars and five-gram and ten-gram gold coins.
Ye Wuwei roughly estimated that this box of gold was about 3,000 taels, which is equivalent to more than 20 million yuan in modern currency.
Master is so generous!
Ye Wuwei closed the box, found a pen and paper and began to write about the Qi'an tribe.
After finishing writing, Ye Wuwei took the organized content and went to the side hall of Taiji Hall to find Chu Fuchi.
Chu Fuchi, Qi Guangren and others were busy, and when they saw Ye Wuwei coming, they mocked him:
"How did you, a busy man, find time to see me?"
Ye Wuwei ignored Chu Fuchi's ridicule and placed the paper in front of him: "Give me some advice."
Chu Fuchi took it and looked at it, thinking:
It should be that Wushuang wanted to hand over the intelligence agency to Ye Wuwei for management, so Ye Wuwei did this.
However, the Qi'an Department planned by Ye Wuwei has much greater authority than the intelligence agencies under his command, and it is also openly displayed, which can become a knife in Wushuang's hand.
But Chu Fuchi would not speak out what was in his mind, but asked:
"Does Your Majesty know?"
"I haven't spoken to him yet, so I'm asking for your opinion first to see if there are any omissions."
"The organizational structure and content are well-written, but it's just that this is a completely new organization, so we need to discuss it."
Ye Wuwei handed the paper to Qi Guangren and said, "You all should give me some advice."
After reading it, Qi Guangren thought:
I'm afraid that the Qi'an tribe is the place that helps Qi Wushuang consolidate the imperial power, but I don't know if it will become the previous Embroidered Uniform Guard?
After reading it, Qi Guangren handed it to He Changsong.
He Changsong was confused after reading it: Why is there content that he can’t understand again!
It's not easy for him as a mere warrior!
It seems that when Chen Shusheng returns from Andu, he will have to vacate his cabinet position as soon as possible, otherwise it will be really unpleasant to be a puppet in the cabinet every day!
It’s really better to go into battle and kill the enemy!
He Changsong passed the paper to the Minister of Personnel without saying a word.
The Minister of Personnel understood what was going on at a glance?
If the Qi'an tribe is established, wouldn't all the officials in Chamdo be in danger?
Qi Wushuang wanted to eliminate dissidents, consolidate imperial power, and let Ye Wuwei be his eyes, ears, and killing weapon in Chamdo!
So different people will come to different conclusions about the same thing.
For example, Qi Guangren would not think of Qi Wushuang as so cruel and unbearable, while the narrow-minded and dark-minded Minister of Personnel thought much more paranoidly.
"How is this different from the Embroidered Uniform Guard established by the previous emperor?
Since the Embroidered Uniform Guard has been disbanded, there is really no need to establish the Qi'an Division."
Ye Wuwei said:
"What the Minister said is too narrow-minded. The Qi'an Tribe and the Embroidered Uniform Guard are completely different.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard was specifically responsible for carrying out shady deeds for the late emperor, while the primary purpose of the Qi'an Division was to protect the stability of the Qi Dynasty."
"That's what I said, but if we only listen to your Majesty's words, who knows if he will become an Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
"According to what you said, the Censorate is also directly responsible to His Majesty. Doesn't that make the Censorate unreasonable?"
The current Chief Censor of the Censorate and the Minister of Personnel are both from the Zhuang Taifu faction. The Minister of Personnel will not dig his own grave:
“That’s different.
The Qi'an Department has the power to arrest and interrogate, but the Censorate does not."
"Then the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court have the power to arrest and interrogate, and the provincial and county yamen also have the power to arrest and interrogate. Isn't that also not acceptable?"
The Minister of Personnel said angrily, "You are just quibbling."
"Don't be angry, my Lord.
If you are just worried that the Qi'an Department will become an organization like the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I can understand that. After all, no one wants to have another Embroidered Uniform Guard.
However, the officials of the Qi'an Ministry were monitored by the Censorate, and if they behaved inappropriately, the Censorate could report them.
With the Censorate supervising us, what else do you have to worry about, sir?
If the Minister is not worried about the Qi'an Department becoming an organization like the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but has other concerns, then that is wrong."
The Minister of Personnel said sullenly, "What else could I be thinking?"
“It’s hard to say.
such as:
A few days ago, the eldest son of the Shangshu won 10,000 taels of gold in a gambling match at Yanyuntai.
If it was just an ordinary win, it would be fine, but ten thousand taels of gold is too much, and he was betting against seven people and winning seven times in a row.
Considering the position of the Shangshu, it makes one imagine a lot."
After hearing what Ye Wuwei said, everyone turned their attention to the Minister of Personnel.
Chu Fuchi was very surprised:
He didn't even receive this information, so how did Ye Wuwei know about it?
Shui Changqing told Ye Wuwei this today.
As a family second only to the four great families, the Shui family naturally has its own sources of information.
After hearing Ye Wuwei's words, the Minister of Personnel angrily scolded: "Don't talk nonsense."
“I know what the Minister is thinking.
Your eldest son was gambling with someone in a private room at Yanyuntai. There were no outsiders present at the time. Even the people at Yanyuntai didn't know the outcome. Even if I knew, I couldn't produce any evidence.
But there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Once something is done, it will leave traces. After all, ten thousand taels of gold is not a small amount of money."
The Minister of Personnel originally wanted to scold Ye Wuwei a few more times, but he was worried that Ye Wuwei really had evidence and would reveal it in front of him.
So the Minister of Personnel had no choice but to keep silent.
Seeing the reaction of the Minister of Personnel, everyone guessed that this must be true, otherwise, wouldn't the Minister of Personnel fight Ye Wuwei to the death?
This was not the time to fall out with the Minister of Personnel. Seeing that the Minister of Personnel said no more, Ye Wuwei did not continue.
After this incident, the Minister of Works and the Minister of Rites did not dare to say anything more, for fear that Ye Wuwei would reveal their secrets.
However, he was even more wary of the Qi'an tribe.
Seeing this, Chu Fuchi said at the right time:
"Commissar Ye, please draft a memorial and submit it to the Cabinet. After discussion, the Cabinet will decide whether to present it to His Majesty."
Having achieved his goal, Ye Wuwei did not stay any longer and left.
