Factory Prison

This is a long novel about the struggle for power between the Jinyiwei and the East-West Factory in the Ming Dynasty. The story will combine historical background, power struggles, intrigues, personal growth and grievances, and strive to be grand, complex and fascinating. Era background: middle and late Ming Dynasty. Imperial power gradually declined, party struggles became fierce, and spy politics reached its peak.

Possessing powerful military force, intelligence network and judicial privileges. Representative: Lu Zheng (the protagonist, a young Qianhu, who was later promoted to commander, is upright but well versed in power, and survives in the cracks). Dongchang: It is run by the emperor's most trusted eunuch (such as the eunuch holding the seal), who supervises the Jinyiwei and hundreds of officials, and has more power than the Jinyiwei. Representative: Cao Zhengchun (or similar name, scheming, greedy for power, regards Jin Yiwei as a thorn in his side). West Factory: Sometimes it is established, sometimes it is abandoned. If it existed, it would have been more powerful, and it would have been run by a young eunuch (such as Wang Zhi) who was favored by the emperor. His actions would have been more fierce and public, and he would have been superior to Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Representative: Yu Huatian (excellent martial arts, ambitious, ruthless means, intends to integrate factory guards, and even get involved in imperial power). Imperial power: The emperor (or young prince) is the core of competition and exploitation by all parties. He may be ignorant, suspicious or ignored.
