Shortly after he left, Wang Chengen came to the Qianqing Palace with official documents to report the situation to Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty! The cabinet has submitted a joint petition, requesting Your Majesty to summon Duke Yansheng Kong Yinzhi to the capital for a confrontation."

"The prison in Shuntian Prefecture is full of people who were convicted for this crime, and they pretended not to see it?"

Wang Chengen replied: "Your Majesty, you are right. They really pretended not to see it. Not only did they not mention it, they even forbade officials to discuss it in the government office."

“Haha!” Chongzhen laughed. “The cabinet is really full of old foxes. After knowing that I was suppressing this matter, they followed suit and did not give me any chance to kill someone with a borrowed knife.”

"If Your Majesty has anything to say, just give me an order and I will do anything for you." Wang Chengen volunteered.

"No need," Chongzhen smiled, "This is the job of the Jinyiwei, it's not your turn to do it."

"However, there is one thing I need you to do." Chongzhen blinked his eyes. "The East Factory cannot be without a leader for a day. The most urgent task is to find a eunuch from the inner court to lead the East Factory. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Wang Chengen thought about it carefully and said, "I think Zhang Rong can do the job."

Zhang Rong?

A dusty figure emerged in Chongzhen's mind.

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, when bandits invaded the capital, Zhang Rong protected the crown prince as he journeyed south.

He then went to Huguang and worked together with Yuan Jixian to get rid of Zuo Liangyu.

Then he left Chu and went to Sichuan to discuss the issue of peace with Zhang Xianzhong...

It can be said that he made great contributions to the imperial court.

Chongzhen recognized his ability to get things done, but he didn't know whether he was a cruel person.

The commander-in-chief of the East Depot must not only be capable, but also ruthless enough.

"Where is Zhang Rong now?" Chongzhen asked.

"In Nanjing."

"That's great," Chongzhen looked towards Nanjing, "Immediately send Zhang Rong to Beijing to supervise the Eastern Depot."
