Chen Qiuyu didn't expect that Zhao Zhu would bring such news.
He raised his head and looked at Zhao Zhu, slightly surprised and asked slowly, "Who is this inspector?"
"Your Excellency, the Inspector General is inspecting the area on behalf of the Inspection Division." Zhao Zhu said respectfully, "As for who came to Luoyang this time, Your Excellency will know once you see them."
Zhao Zhu still didn't dare to reveal Chen Sihai's identity.
He wasn't sure what Chen Sihai was going to do. If he revealed his name before this happened and things really went wrong, he would be in big trouble.
After taking a deep look at Zhao Zhu, Chen Qiyu nodded and said, "Then let's go to Baihua Tower tonight."
Zhao Zhu didn't expect Chen Qiuyu to choose such a place.
Baihualou is a fairly famous brothel in Luoyang City. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to meet in a brothel?
But he was just here to deliver the message and had no qualifications or authority to object.
"In Room 3 of Baihua Tower." Chen Qiuyu thought for a moment and added.
Zhao Zhu nodded and said respectfully, "I will deliver the message. If Your Excellency has nothing else to do, I will go back and deliver the letter."
Nodding gently, Chen Qiyu said to his advisor Li Fang, "Send him off."
"I'm sorry to bother you." After saying this, Zhao Zhu bowed and turned to walk out.
He didn't dare delay even a moment and had to hurry back to deliver the letter. After all, the choice of location for this meeting was too delicate, and he needed to get the message back as soon as possible.
After Zhao Zhu left, Chen Qiyu looked at Li Fang and asked, "Who do you think is coming?"
"I'm sure he's not an ordinary person." Li Fang thought for a moment and said, "This time, the person being investigated is the Henan prefect. Although he's insignificant, it's Prince Fu who's been implicated. The person sent by the court must be someone who can make the decision. Someone who can make the decision is naturally not an ordinary person, but I don't know who it is."
"I hope the person who comes here isn't a timid one." Chen Qiuyu said helplessly.
This was what he was most worried about. If the court only gave Prince Fu a light trial, then all his efforts would be in vain. The people of Luoyang would not receive true salvation, which was not what he wanted.
Listening to Chen Qiuyu's words, Master Li Fang did not speak, because he did not want to say anything, or he did not know what to say at all, there was really nothing to say.
Both myself and my parents knew in my heart that there was a high possibility that this matter would end up in nothing.
It was always very difficult for the emperor to punish the vassal kings, and often he could not make up his mind. Most of the time, the punishments were superficial and did not cause any serious consequences.
Chen Qiuyu glanced at Li Fang, then shook his head and said nothing more.
Unlike Li Fang, Chen Qiyu has his own opinions.
In his view, the Ming Dynasty was already in a precarious situation. Since ascending the throne, His Majesty has worked hard to govern the country, and has the aura of conquering the world.
This was what Chen Qiyu hoped to see, but there was one thing he also needed to verify: the ambition and courage of the current emperor, and whether he possessed the qualifications to become a wise and capable monarch.
This time is a test. If Your Majesty only punishes Prince Fu superficially as before, it will prove that Your Majesty lacks the ambition and courage to achieve such a great result. It would be unrealistic to want to bring about the utter destruction of the world.
During the two years in Luoyang, Chen Qiuyu deeply felt the exploitation and oppression of the local people by the vassal kings.
These royal families did not engage in production and lived an extremely luxurious life every day. They were always thinking about making trouble, marrying women and having children, expanding their land, and making money in various ways.
The princes hid in the palace all day long. They had strange and arrogant personalities. Because they had no freedom, they became a little nervous and had nothing to do. So they studied how to persecute people.
Even if some princes were wise, they only studied Taoism, alchemy, poetry, calligraphy and painting, which cost a lot of money and they also exploited the local areas greatly on a daily basis.
If this problem is not resolved, all that is said is empty talk, and the people will not have a good life. That is why Chen Qiyu used the secret report to test the waters.
Chen Qiuyu did not tell his master Li Fang about this matter, nor would he tell him.
In the post station.
Looking at Zhao Zhu in front of him and hearing him tell him everything, Chen Sihai frowned.
What the hell is Chen Qiuyu doing? He arranged the meeting place in a brothel?
You know, officials are not allowed to go to brothels. Could it be that he wants to trick him?
It didn't seem like it. If he was tricked, he would definitely be involved. Besides, he was the one who submitted the secret report. Where could he hide?
Or, is there something going on that I'm not aware of?
But if you don't go, it would be a sign of cowardice.
Glancing at Zhao Zhu, Chen Sihai said expressionlessly, "Alright, I understand. You can go down. I'll be there on time tomorrow night."
"Yes, sir." Zhao Zhu agreed quickly.
Although Zhao Zhu felt that there seemed to be something going on between the two adults, he also knew that it was not something he could interfere with. Sometimes the less you know, the better.
So he turned around and walked out without hesitation.
At night, in the Western Garden of the capital.
Zhu Youxiao was sitting in a rocking chair, but the location was no longer in his pavilion, but in Empress Zhang's residence.
Next to Zhu Youxiao's rocking chair, there was a table with tea and snacks on it.
