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 523: The Qingli Division Intervenes

It is absolutely impossible to hand the person over to Chen Tang, Xu Xianchun knew it very well in his heart.

If they couldn't hand him over, they had to find other solutions. Did the Imperial Guards have any solutions?

Of course there is. The simplest way is to deal with Chen Tang and prevent him from jumping around.

However, Xu Xianchun didn't want to do this himself. After all, it was impossible for the Jinyiwei to keep an eye on these people.

There were too many things to deal with in the officialdom, and even more in the Yangzhou officialdom. If they were to be dealt with, it would take up a lot of time and energy. Xu Xianchun didn't have the time or energy to waste with them.

Xu Xianchun glanced at his men and said, "Hasn't anyone arrived yet? They're so slow. Could you tell me if the message hasn't arrived yet?"

"Yes, sir." The subordinate agreed and turned to walk outside.

After hearing this, Chen Tang's expression changed slightly.

He glanced at Xu Xianchun and found that Xu Xianchun looked fearless, which made him frown.

Is this disrespecting yourself? Or is it looking down on yourself?

Seeing Chen Tang looking at him, Xu Xianchun explained: "Master Chen, don't worry. I will naturally give you an explanation on this matter. Master Chen, don't worry, I will definitely not deal with it."

"That's the best." Chen Tang snorted coldly.

Not long after, the Jinyiwei's men walked in from outside.

He came to Xu Xianchun and said, "Sir, the person has arrived and is outside. Would you please come in?"

"Please come in." Xu Xianchun nodded and said, "Tell Master Chen that I have guests here and cannot go out to greet them."

"Yes, sir." The subordinate agreed and walked out.

Chen Tang was stunned. Is anyone else coming? Who is coming?

Xu Xianchun invited someone named Chen over? Could it be Chen Zhenglin, the Yangzhou Transport Commissioner?

In Yangzhou, only Chen Zhenglin can be considered a high-ranking official with the surname Chen, and the others are simply meaningless.

Even if Chen Zhenglin came, what would happen? Am I still afraid of him?

You know, I already want to get rid of Chen Zhenglin. But why did Xu Xianchun ask Chen Zhenglin to come here? Could it be that Xu Xianchun and Chen Zhenglin are in cahoots? Are these two trying to get me?

In this case, I have to be more cautious.

But that shouldn’t be the case. How could Xu Xianchun and the others get together?

However, we have to fight against the enemy with our own army and block the water with earth. This is the only way we can do in this situation.

Chen Tang straightened his body, sat up straight, and stared at the door, wanting to see who came in.

It wasn't long before footsteps were heard outside.

The first to come in were Xu Xianchun's men.

Then a middle-aged man walked in from outside.

The visitor was in his forties, dressed like a Confucian scholar, not wearing an official uniform. He was waving a folding fan in his hand, looking very relaxed.

Xu Xianchun is naturally familiar with this style.

As the saying goes, what the superior likes, the subordinates will follow. The current emperor liked this, so this style became popular in the Ming Dynasty.

He was dressed like a scholar, holding a folding fan in his hand. If this fan was made by a famous artist, it would further highlight his status.

In recent years, popular items include boots from Dengyunxuan and folding fans from Huizhou Caojia Changshengfang. In short, these people are all suppliers of the Imperial Household Department, and all their products are to be delivered to the imperial palace.

Each one bears the imperial seal, and now it feels like a Ming Dynasty luxury item. In short, their products are simply expensive, almost becoming a trend. Yangzhou is also quite affected.

So Chen Tang was not surprised by the man's attire. However, since he was not wearing official uniform, he did not know his rank.

Chen Tang looked at the man's face carefully and found it unfamiliar.

This made Chen Tang frown. Who is this person?

After Chen Sihai came in, he didn't even look at Chen Tang. In his eyes, he was just a prefect. Even if he was the prefect of Yangzhou, what could he do?

Chen Sihai looked at Xu Xianchun directly.

When Xu Xianchun saw Chen Sihai coming in, he stood up.

The relationship between the two of them was not good, because to some extent, they were also competitors. However, when dealing with foreign countries, they were able to cooperate. After all, they were both the emperor's people and could be considered the emperor's party.

In terms of official position, Chen Sihai is higher than Xu Xianchun. Although the responsibilities of the Jinyiwei may be heavier, Chen Sihai is also in charge of this aspect.

When dealing with officials, the Qinglisi was very powerful, and even the Jinyiwei had to be supervised by these people.

"Greetings, Master Chen." Xu Xianchun walked up to Chen Sihai, clasped his fists, and said with a smile, "I invited Master Chen here because I had no choice. I hope Master Chen will not blame me."

Chen Sihai glanced at Xu Xianchun, frowned, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. You should be more pragmatic in your work and life, and don't always talk nonsense. If you have something to say, just say it directly. What's the point of saying useless things? You didn't call me here to say these polite words to me, did you?"

Chen Sihai's words were very impolite, but Xu Xianchun didn't care.

This is the temper of Chen Sihai, a cold-faced judge who will not provoke you if you can't afford to.

Xu Xianchun said, "We invited Mr. Chen here today to discuss the matter of the Yangzhou prefect. This is the Yangzhou prefect, Chen Tang."

At this time, Chen Tang had already stood up with a bad look on his face.
