Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Corrupt Emperor

Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.

Chapter 117: This will not happen again

Seeing Luo Sigong pulling him, Chen Hong's face flashed with surprise, and he asked with some confusion: "Master Luo, is there anything else?"

In fact, Chen Hong knew very well in his heart that Luo Sigong just wanted to ask about the attitude of his own emperor.

In fact, Chen Hong also wanted Luo Sigong to help analyze it, but he could hold on.

In this matter, if you let the other party speak first, you will take the initiative.

Seeing Chen Hong's puzzled look, Luo Sigong's face was a little embarrassed, and he quickly said with a smile: "Eunuch, I have admired you for a long time. After seeing you today, there are some things I want to ask you for your advice."

As he spoke, Luo Sigong made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile, "I will definitely reward you handsomely."

This means that money will be paid, and Chen Hong was immediately happy.

See? If I take advantage of it, benefits will come to me. I am really smart.

Sitting down again, Chen Hong asked, "What does Lord Luo want to ask?"

Luo Sigong didn't ask any questions first. Instead, he turned around and went out to give some instructions. Then he turned back and sat down and said, "Eunuch Chen, this matter is a bit tricky. I really don't know what to do. Eunuch Chen, can you teach me?"

This sentence is very simple, and it seems that he is sincerely asking Chen Hong for help, but in fact it is not the case.

He didn't want Chen Hongzhen to help.

The reason for asking this was that Luo Sigong wanted to know Zhu Youxiao's opinion through Chen Hong.

But this is a direct glimpse into the emperor's mind.

One dared not ask, and the other dared not answer.

Asking in this roundabout way is the most appropriate.

Chen Hong's reply was not his idea at all, nor was it something he came up with. It was the emperor's thoughts that he had glimpsed.

After hearing Luo Sigong's question, Chen Hong frowned and said expressionlessly, "Lord Luo, I am an eunuch and it is not convenient for me to interfere in the affairs of the court. So I can't give you any advice on these matters. But in my opinion, whether it is inside or outside the court, we are all doing errands for His Majesty. The Ming Dynasty is a place with rules, and everything is done according to the rules, which is always right. Lord Luo, what do you think?"

After Chen Hong said this, he sat there and said nothing more.

He has finished speaking, and whether Luo Sigong can understand it depends on himself.

However, Chen Hong believed that the other party would definitely understand this. If he couldn't even understand this, then he should just quit being an official and stop cooperating with him.

Because such a stupid person will not only be unable to help himself, but will end up implicating himself.

Sitting quietly in the chair, Chen Hong waited for Luo Sigong to understand it himself.

Just as Chen Hong imagined, it was not difficult for Luo Sigong to understand his words.

These words were said in a high-sounding manner, first of all, to show that I don't care about this matter and I won't help you with any advice. After saying a lot of nonsense, I just followed the rules.

The so-called "following the rules" actually means being unyielding and non-negotiable.

When dealing with this matter, it would be much easier if we just followed the rules.

Do what you should do, do it strictly and severely, don't be perfunctory, and deal with them severely.

Luo Sigong understood instantly and said with a smile, "I am mistaken. We should indeed follow the rules. The Ming Dynasty is a place with rules, and it is always right to follow the rules. Thank you for your reminder, eunuch."

After saying that, Luo Sigong stood up and bowed to Chen Hong.

"If Lord Luo has nothing else to do, then I will go back. His Majesty is still waiting for me." Chen Hong also stood up and said with a smile.

"Your subordinate will see you off, eunuch." Luo Sigong made a gesture of invitation.

The two people left the house one after the other.

At the door, a person was already waiting there.

Luo Sigong walked over expressionlessly, took something from the man's hand, and then waved his hand to signal the man to leave.

Returning to Chen Hong's side, Luo Sigong handed something to Chen Hong and said with a smile, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't refuse it."

Chen Hong was stunned and said with a straight face: "What are you doing?"

Luo Sigong continued with a flattering smile on his face, "Your words have enlightened me. These are just a few small things, not a token of respect."

After taking a quiet look at Luo Sigong, Chen Hong said expressionlessly, "This won't happen again."

After Chen Hong said this, he reached out and took the things that Luo Sigong had handed over, then quietly put them into his sleeve and walked out as if nothing had happened.

After leaving the Jinyiwei Yamen, Chen Hong got on the carriage and reached into his sleeve to take out something.

After opening it and taking a look, Chen Hong was stunned.

I didn’t expect Luo Sigong to be so generous.

This is two pieces of paper rolled into a small straight tube.

After Chen Hong unfolded it, he found two pieces of paper inside.

The one above is a property deed for a small courtyard in the capital.

The other one is a land deed for 100 acres of land in the western suburbs of Beijing.

The two gifts added together were really not light. Although these were not money, they were much more substantial than money.

You have to know that many things cannot be bought with money.

If you need these two things, then you can use them yourself; if you don't need them, you can sell them and turn them into silver. Besides, these two pieces of paper are very convenient to give away.

Gently stroking the two pieces of paper, a smile appeared on Chen Hong's face.

It turns out that power brings money.

This is when I was working with Luo Sigong, and he had already given me these things.

So what if you take all the power yourself?

Chen Hong couldn't help but think of Wei Zhongxian. He thought that Wei Zhongxian must have made a lot of money, right?

If he were to control the East Factory alone, he would surely make a lot of money.

Chen Hong had the idea of ​​replacing him in his mind.

However, he also knew that even if he really had this idea, he had to keep it in his heart and must not attract Wei Zhongxian's attention.

Now we are in a competitive relationship. If that old guy knew that I was going to replace him, he would probably fight me to the death.

There is another very crucial reason, that is, the emperor likes Wei Zhongxian very much now, and it is the time to use him.

If I reveal such thoughts at this time, the emperor might be dissatisfied with me.

When he could find a way to discredit Wei Zhongxian, he could take over the power. And he had to unite with the Jinyiwei, use the Jinyiwei to pull Wei Zhongxian down, and then he could take over the power.

By then, the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard will be in his hands.

Wouldn't that mean there would be more money?

Chen Hong was fantasizing in his mind, with a smile on his face, as if he saw the time when he would have the most power in the world.

"Father-in-law, we're here."

Chen Hong didn't come to his senses until someone called him from outside.
