Chen Hong didn't care about Zhao Bingzhong's answer. He just smiled and nodded, leading the way.
For Chen Hong, this is just a good sale, and there may be opportunities to make further progress in the future.
Chen Hong has been thinking about it ever since the last time Jinyiwei commander Luo Sigong did something stupid.
The Jinyiwei's staff might have to be replaced, and then I can't follow Luo Sigong and mess around.
The most important thing is that I have to replace someone to collude with outside. I don’t know if it will work with the Jinyiwei, so I have to find someone else.
Just as the Tongzhengsi was rising, Chen Hong set his sights on Zhao Bingzhong.
Zhao Bingzhong controlled the Tongzhengsi and controlled all the Tongzhengsi spies in the world, which Chen Hong considered to be spies.
With them, Zhao Bingzhong's power can be imagined, and it can be easily obtained.
Under such circumstances, there is no harm in being with him. If I can still have a say in the Jinyiwei, then this side doesn't matter.
As the saying goes, it's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard. It never hurts to make friends. This was the original intention of Chen Hong and Zhao Bingzhong in saying this.
Although we haven't made much progress or reached any consensus, that's okay. This is only the first time. Take your time; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
In fact, Chen Hong still didn't understand Zhao Bingzhong, otherwise he would know that his efforts were in vain.
Zhao Bingzhong was a loyal follower of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. He had no good feelings towards eunuchs and only cared about the law.
Zhao Bingzhong insisted on severe punishment and he would never get involved with Chen Hong.
So no matter what Chen Hong does, it will be in vain.
The two people walked in with their own thoughts, but they both had fake smiles on their faces.
When he arrived at Xiyuan Lake, Zhao Bingzhong couldn't help but admire the scenery before him. Although it was not his first time here, he was always very shocked when he saw it.
It is really a wonderful thing to go boating on the lake in a breezy day.
But Zhao Bingzhong also knew that this would not work. This is your majesty's lake, and others should not even think about rowing on it.
But it seems that His Majesty doesn't like rowing very much, and always sits on the shore in a rocking chair.
In fact, Zhao Bingzhong didn't know that Zhu Youxiao also wanted to go boating on the lake and fish, but he was afraid of falling into the water.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhao Bingzhong as he approached, and after sizing him up and down, he said with a smile, "You carry a murderous aura with you, even if there's nothing wrong with you carrying a murderous aura? It seems like you came into the palace today to kill someone."
"Let me guess, has there been any response from the secret memorial? Someone submitted a memorial that made you so angry? Judging from your expression, I'm afraid this matter is probably not a small matter."
Of course, this was just Zhu Youxiao's half-guess.
First of all, Zhao Bingzhong's face was indeed very ugly, and he looked very angry and fierce. It was obvious that he was going to deal with someone.
Secondly, there was nothing else going on on Zhao Bingzhong's side. The only thing that could make him so angry was probably the secret report.
Finally, Zhu Youxiao had actually anticipated this long ago: how could a new government office establish its prestige?
Of course, he wanted to do something big. So Zhao Bingzhong would definitely choose a big shot to move, preferably one that could shock the entire court, let everyone know the existence of the Tongzhengsi, let everyone know that the Tongzhengsi was serious, and let everyone know that he, Zhao Bingzhong, was serious.
This way, he could intimidate everyone and make those who looked down on him, Zhao Bingzhong, and the Tongzhengsi (Ministry of Public Administration), put away their petty thoughts. This was the most crucial point.
After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Zhao Bingzhong quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is no one more wise than you!"
"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is a secret memorial sent from Luoyang County." As he said this, Zhao Bingzhong handed the secret memorial in his hand to Chen Hong.
Chen Hong did not dare to delay and quickly took it with both hands and handed it directly to Zhu Youxiao.
Reaching out and taking the question book from Chen Hong's hand, Zhu Youxiao took a look at it, a playful smile appeared on his face, and his expression became serious.
He looked at Zhao Bingzhong and said, "My dear minister, you are truly generous."
After saying that, he flipped the page back and took a look at the signature: Chen Qiuyu, the magistrate of Luoyang.
Another familiar name.
But now my focus cannot be on the person, but on this memorial.
In this memorial, Chen Qiuyu implicated several people, the first of whom was the prefect of Henan.
In this memorial, Chen Qiuyu wrote about some of the things done by the Henan prefect, such as corruption, abuse of power, land seizure, bribery, and levying of levies, all of which were written in great detail.
Later, Chen Qiuyu also wrote about another incident, which was about local officials in Henan Prefecture cooperating with a wealthy family to seize the people's land.
This is not a strange thing. This kind of thing happens every day in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youxiao was not surprised that Chen Qiuyu submitted such a memorial. The reason was very simple. This kind of thing was a big deal in itself, and there were many of them. It was not surprising that a local official submitted such a memorial.
You can also investigate along this path. I guess there are a lot of such cases and you can find out many people.
However, the wealthy man that Chen Qiyu impeached was different. This wealthy man was a vassal king in Luoyang, the famous Prince Fu.
According to seniority, Prince Fu should be his uncle. His grandfather, Emperor Wanli, loved his youngest son very much.
Of course, the main reason is still because of Concubine Zheng.
Many unknown stories happened during this period. It is said that the death of my cheap father was also related to Madam Zheng, who is still jumping around in the palace.
