On the East Factory, although Mo Zizai had enough people, he had no choice but to do anything about weapons, armor and other things.

Although the Great Zhou did not control weapons and armor, it was not easy to get more than 500 sets of armor.

So I can only go to the Ministry of Works for this matter, and the weapons and armor of the Ministry of Works will be registered. With Mo Zizai's current identity, if he goes to the Ministry of Works, he will want 500 sets of armor. It would be considered very polite if he didn't blow him out.

Fortunately, among the six ministries of the court, the Ministry of Works was one of the most loyal departments to the empress. As long as the empress was approved, 500 sets of armor would naturally not be a problem.

Therefore, after Mo Zizai arranged the matter for the East Factory, he took advantage of the night to go to Shangyang Palace.

Anyway, the bed there is big enough, so it will be no problem for him to sleep, not to mention that there are two fragrant girls waiting for him, so the fool will not go.

...

Just as Mo Zizai rushed to the palace, a guest with his head and tail hidden in the mansion of Du Xing, the Minister of Justice.

Du Xing was about to go to bed at this point, but he heard the servant say that a guest was visiting, which made him feel a little strange. You know, there is a curfew in the capital, who would visit him at this time?

Du Xing sat in the pavilion last time, brewed a pot of tea for himself, and placed two cups on the table. No matter what the person coming was doing, the one who could order it here would definitely not be an ordinary person.

Not long after Du Xing's tea was brewed, a man wearing a black hood and wrapped himself tightly came to the yard.

"Mr. Du is so elegant."

When Du Xing heard the voice of the visitor, he was stunned. Then he waved his hand and turned away from the waiter, and then he spoke to the visitor: "Mr. Hu is there anything important to visit me if he doesn't sleep, but he doesn't have a head and tail."

"It is a good idea to be an official in the same dynasty, and it is a good idea to visit each other, so how can you say that you can hide your head and reveal your tail?"

As he said that, the one who was called Lord Hu by Du Xing took off his hood and sat in front of Du Xing and said lightly: "I just don't want people to see it, so it's just a little criticism."

"Oh."

Du Xing chuckled, scoffed at Lord Hu's reasons, and even wore a hood when he visited late at night, and said that he was not hiding his head and tail.

However, he did not hold on to this matter. The Lord Hu in front of him was Hu Xiaosheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Although he was not a member of him, he must have something to discuss when he came to him, so there was no need for him to speak ill of him.

"Mr. Hu just tell me if you have something to do. I am in a bad mood these two days and don't want to go around with you."

"Haha." Hu Xiaosheng chuckled, and then said a very rude sentence, "Look at this look of Lord Du, but I am sad about the death of the man?"

"What does Lord Hu mean?"

Hearing Hu Xiaosheng's words, Du Xing's face suddenly sank. He looked at Hu Xiaosheng coldly and said, "Are you here to make a special trip to me?"

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Du, I, Hu, are not such an ignorant person."

Seeing Du Xing getting angry, Hu Xiaosheng explained calmly, and then said, "I came here this time to ask the adults, my beloved son was killed. Are you really going to swallow your anger so much?"

Hearing Hu Xiaosheng's words, Du Xing's face became even more gloomy. If he could take revenge, he would have taken action long ago. Why wait until Hu Xiaosheng comes to mock him now?

But with the empress protecting him, he couldn't do anything to Mo Zizai. He asked his officials to collectively impeach Mo Zizai and kill people in the street.

But today in the cabinet, when the empress saw these memorials, she didn't care about his attitude at all. She just said lightly, "It is in compliance with the laws and regulations to attack the king and fight back against Mo Zizai's self-defense, so she exposed this matter.

Even a fool could see that she was deliberately favoring Mo Zizai, but what could he do? He could not send someone to assassinate Mo Zizai in the street.

Seeing Du Xing not speaking, Hu Xiaosheng picked up the teacup and sipped it gently, "What a good tea."

After saying that, Hu Xiaosheng looked at Du Xing and said lightly: "Mr. Du, do you think one mountain can accommodate two tigers?"

When Du Xing heard Hu Xiaosheng's words, his eyes moved slightly, but he did not express his intermediate position, but said in a deep voice: "What does Lord Hu mean?"

"Mr. Du, let's open the skylight and speak loudly."

Seeing Du Xing still pretending to be stupid, Hu Xiaosheng put down his teacup and said without any concealment: "We have been dealing with this Majesty for three years. I believe Lord Du can see that our Majesty has a strong desire to control the court and wants to interfere in big and small matters."

"Not only that, in order to control our so-called old parties, she even spared no hesitation to marry the former prince, which was a huge sum of money."

"But Lord Du, have you ever considered what our former prince is feeling now?"

Hu Xiaosheng said this and changed his tone and said in an extremely affirmative tone: "The throne that should have been inherited by him was seized, but now he still wants to use him to set up a archway. Do you think our prince, who is highly regarded, can really accept it?"

When talking about the word "Crown Prince", Hu Xiaosheng's tone was full of disdain. It was obvious that he had dealt with Mo Zizai before, and he didn't think much of Mo Zizai at all.

"So what if you can accept it, so what if you can't accept it."

Du Xing's mood had recovered from peace at this time. He said calmly: "The two are about to get married and they are about to sit together. Haven't you heard that the prince has been staying overnight in the palace now?"

"Haha, sit together." Hu Xiaosheng sneered and said, "Mr. Du, that prince is stupid, so he believes such nonsense. You are not so stupid, right?"

"The woman just wanted to use the name of the prince to find an excuse to deal with us old parties who had not surrendered. When our old parties are finished, do you believe that the idiot of the prince is the worst dead?"

"For the sake of the throne, there are not a few fathers and sons who kill each other, let alone couples."

After hearing Hu Xiaosheng's words, Du Xing did not refute because he thought so in his heart. He felt that the empress had not moved the old party in recent years. On the one hand, it was because the empress's foundation was unstable, and on the other hand, it was because the old party had been under the banner of the late emperor over the years.

Because the throne was given to the Empress by the late emperor, if the Empress took action to deal with the old ministers who were loyal to the late emperor, it would be easy to leave the reputation of being kind and revenge.

But now it is different. If the Empress married Mo Zizai, then the Empress could have completely taken the name of Mo Zizai and even let Mo Zizai eliminate those old ministers by herself. If this is the case, no one can say anything.
