"So in the same way, although he is not the most capable, you still chose him as the new head eunuch. Because he may make some small profits from it, but he dare not make any big moves, let alone hide it from you.
Isn't it?" Yuan Qingfang speculated.
"What you said is right, but there is a more important reason that you didn't say. The reason why I made him the chief eunuch is because he is now on the same boat as us. From the moment he walked out
Since then, he is destined to be at odds with Zheng Chenggong, so choosing such a person as the general manager can ensure the absolute reliability of this position. At least we don't have to worry about things around us all the time."
Yuan Qingfang nodded: "So that's it." She glanced at the lists on the paper: "Then what are you going to do next? Do you want to deal with these people directly? Or find someone to follow them first."
"Let's stay and take a look first. We have no evidence about Wang Chengen. Besides, since Cao Meng is dead, there is no need for us to overturn the case for him, which is a waste of time and energy. These people are keeping them for the time being. Zheng Chenggong doesn't know
How many people and things does this little Shunzi know, so this is an advantage for us." Lin Chong was proud.
Yuan Qingfang raised her eyebrows: "Can this be considered an advantage?"
"Of course, this can be regarded as a kind of overt and covert enemy. Zheng Chenggong's power should not be underestimated. In addition to these little eunuchs, he must have ambushed many other informants. Just look at this
How many clues can a few people uncover?"
Lin Chong wanted to play a long game to catch the big fish. If he caught them and killed them, these little eunuchs would be of little value to him, but if he kept them well, he might be able to uncover more hidden secrets.
People in the dark.
Although these young eunuchs may not know Zheng Chenggong's true identity, the only person who knows Zheng Chenggong's identity in the imperial city now is definitely not the only one who has died, Wang Cheng'en.
Zheng Chenggong killed Wang Chengen in order to eliminate the possibility of betrayal, but this also greatly weakened his control over his subordinates. It is really hard to say whether this incident has more good aspects or more bad aspects.
What Lin Chong had to do was to try his best to dig out the good aspects from the bad aspects. Since Wang Chengen also held an important official position, there was no evidence when he died that he wanted to rebel or do something treacherous.
.
Lin Chong still buried him generously. Although it was this guy who dragged him into the whirlpool of these battles, in those days when he was most at a loss, it was indeed him who was always watching over him and saved his life several times.
If there really is a so-called spirit in heaven, how would you feel now, Mr. Wang? I'm really curious, and Lin Chong laughed to himself.
In fact, he could guess more or less. Since Emperor Chongzhen asked him to kill him, but he finally chose to give up, it means that they have not been together for so many days in vain. Wang Chengen still recognized him after all, otherwise he would not be here.
In the imperial garden, he begged for mercy for himself, which ultimately led to his death.
Wang Chengen may have always been conflicted. On the one hand, he really felt that Lin Chong was a good emperor. Only by letting him stay here could he truly benefit the people of the world and allow the Ming Dynasty to continue. But on the other hand, he was partial to Emperor Chongzhen in his heart.
, feeling that Emperor Chongzhen would one day come back and take power again.
Lin Chong and Emperor Chongzhen could not coexist, but Wang Chengen did not understand this truth. The best result in his ideal was that Lin Chong left happily with the reward, and then Emperor Chongzhen continued to come back to sit on his throne and become a generation
Mingjun.
I don’t know if he ever thought that he would die because of this ideal. Lin Chong actually always wanted to ask him, do you regret it? You gave everything you had to raise such a white-eyed wolf in the end, do you regret it?
It's a pity that Wang Chengen will never be able to answer him. The best ending in Wang Chengen's heart will never be realized. Let's see who can have the last laugh between him and Emperor Chongzhen.
"Are you sure you'll be able to catch big fish with a long line?" Yuan Qingfang leaned on the edge of the table and looked at Lin Chong.
"When have I ever done something I wasn't sure about? Although I don't know how many fish I can catch, I'm sure I can catch them. Of course, we still need a good fisherman." Lin Chong winked slyly.
"You mean wood?"
"It's not just him. The entire Shadow Cavalry needs to go out and do some exercise. They haven't been allowed to do anything for too long. It's time to relax."
"Then do you plan to let people from the East Factory and West Factory participate?" Yuan Qingfang was a little worried when she thought of this. There are so many people in the East and West Factory, and they are directly subordinate to Wang Chengen. What should they do now that they have no leader?
"The people from the East and West Factory can just ask the assistants to come and negotiate among themselves. To be honest, I really don't dare to use the people there. It's probably not going to work for anyone sent over there. Just let them fight among themselves." Lin Chong helped.
He rubbed his forehead helplessly.
The East-West Factory should have been his biggest weapon, and it was indeed like this from the past few times. However, since Wang Chengen's death, the East-West Factory has not been so easy to control, and now it has become his biggest headache.
What's more, since it is directly subordinate to Wang Chengen, then the number of informants among them must also be the largest. Maybe there will be a lot of them. There is no shortage of capable talents in the East and West Factory. It is these people who Lin Chong doesn't know how to deal with.
.
You can't kill them, you can't keep them. Putting them there takes up space and wastes money. But if you really want to kill them, there is no suitable reason. It will easily arouse people's feelings and give Zheng Chenggong an opportunity.
The best way is not to elect the factory boss for the time being, so that they will probably be unable to compete for a while and will have no intention to embarrass him.
"You probably never thought that one day the Dongxiang Factory would become an obstacle to you." Yuan Qingfang's tone was somewhat gloating. To be honest, she sometimes really didn't agree with the extreme methods of the Dongxiang Factory to deal with things.
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. There is nothing we can't think of. All we can do is think carefully about the current matter." Lin Chong shrugged helplessly. To be honest, he didn't know where things would go next.
Development, I can’t imagine what Zheng Chenggong will do next.
They had never fought before and didn't know each other well, so everything they did was done in a cautious and tentative stage. It didn't matter if they were wrong, there wouldn't be any big losses anyway.
