(This is the last chapter before it is released. I am nervous to meet the great test of readers.)

It was very late. After returning to the county government, Su Tiancheng did not go back to the backyard immediately.

Qu Qingze also understood and followed Su Tiancheng to the third hall.

Qu Qingze, Lu Tianming and Liu Zhongji all live in the county government office, but the place where they live is between the second and third halls. According to regulations, they must also live in the county government office.

Qu Qingze had already analyzed that it would definitely not be a trivial matter for Dong Chang to come from the capital to Jiangning County, but he also expressed his position, that is, the emperor still trusts Su Tiancheng. If he really doesn't believe it, he needs to take measures and others will come. Of course, he must have some responsibility. He is not able to report the situation truthfully by Su Tiancheng's side.

Qu Qingze did not regret such a situation. He believed that Su Tiancheng could do great things. At that time, the court would definitely understand it if he truly achieved results.

Besides, the court did not intend to replace itself, which means that there is no problem for the time being.

But there must be something wrong here, someone secretly plotted against it, and it was not ordinary people.

"Brother, I didn't expect that such a thing would happen. You must know some situations. If it's convenient, would you say that you will be going to the capital soon? If you don't know what the situation is, you will also seem a little passive."

Qu Qingze was also very serious. He was still thinking after hearing Su Tiancheng say these words.

Su Tiancheng's idea is very real. When he comes to Jiangning County, although he has the actual power and can do a lot of things, his flaws are also obvious, that is, he cannot know the situation in the capital, his future, and how big things he can do, they are all mastered in the capital. The capital's movements will inevitably have some impact.

"Mr. Dong came to Jiangning County and scolded me, saying that I didn't know some of the situations, but I clearly reported many situations through Nanjing Inner Guards, which is very strange."

In front of Su Tiancheng, there was no need for Qu Qingze to hide the matter. He said whatever he wanted, because Su Tiancheng treated him in this way, and mutual trust was the most important thing.

"Oh, what you mean is that Lord Dong has not received these memorials."

Qu Qingze nodded, and was solemn.

Su Tiancheng blinked, and it seemed that the problem was a bit complicated.

As a sub-capital capital, Nanjing not only has a Beijing camp, but also an inner guard. The Jinyiwei is not as big as the capital. Originally, the prince should have been stationed in Nanjing, but after the Wanli period, the prince was usually in the capital, so there was not much work for the Jinyiwei, but many secret reports were still transmitted to the capital through the Jinyiwei.

Moreover, the secret memorial of the Jinyiwei can be directly into the emperor's hands.

The room was a little silent for a moment. There were not many people who could control the Nanjing Jinyiwei. As the deputy governor of the Jinyiwei, the commander of the Nanjing Jinyiwei would never dare to suppress these memorials. Speaking of which, only those who were in charge of the Jinyiwei commander would do this after they spoke.

As for the several questions asked by Dong Chang, ordinary people would not know the information, such as the origin of the soldiers in the Jiangning County Inspection Department, the search for Kuang Siming's mansion, the seized firearms, and the handling of the remaining salt merchants.

Those who can know these things need to have an extraordinary identity.

"Brother, what do you think the problem is?"

Su Tiancheng finally talked about the key point. In fact, he had some speculations in his heart. Dong Chang talked about a key thing, which was actually a disguised reminder, that is, the matter of contacting the two major camps in Nanjing. There is only one person who knows his demand.

Qu Qingze seemed very cautious and thought for a while before speaking.

"According to my feeling, there is no problem with Yingtian Prefecture, the six ministries in Nanjing, and the Censorate. Their memorials were all passed by the Six ministries in Beijing and the Censorate. If such problems arise, they should be secret memorials."

Speaking of this, Qu Qingze stopped and looked at Su Tiancheng.

He felt that Su Tiancheng had already had a look in his heart.

"I also have this idea. On the surface, the four questions asked by Lord Dong seem to be nothing, but they actually refer to the key points. If you think from another perspective, you will come to completely different conclusions. The intentions of some people are too toxic. Brother, there is a key question, I don't know. I hope you can tell me."

"I don't know the storm in the capital at all. I think I'm doing things honestly in Jiangning County, but as a court official, I can't help myself in many things. If I always be so confused, I don't know when I will be plotted against. You and I are one, and both prosper and both prosper and both suffer losses. Anyone has problems, so I hope you can tell me some specific situations."

"What are the situations you want to know?"

“The situation in the palace.”

The room was silent again, and at this time, some problems emerged.

Qu Qingze was thinking about what to say, judging from Su Tiancheng's words, the spearhead had already pointed at the eunuch Wang Zhen, the governor of Nanjing.

Wang Zhen was an eunuch of the Silijian and was sent to Nanjing and became an eunuch in custody.

"I don't know much about the palace. After all, it's a secret matter. But there is one thing that I can be sure of, that is, there are some conflicts between the eunuch Cao, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, and the eunuch Wang, the eunuch of the Bingbi. They have their own different systems. Eunuch Wang hardly makes friends with the ministers of the court, but Eunuch Cao has many connections with the ministers of the court."

"So, I remember that my father-in-law would not allow any contact with the court ministers."

"The situation has changed long ago. When Wei Zhongxian was in power, these rules and systems were completely destroyed. After the emperor ascended the throne, he wiped out Wei Zhongxian and restricted the power of the central government. However, there were constant disputes among the ministers of the court. The emperor was very angry and restored the central government's military supervision system."

Su Tiancheng nodded. He was clear about these things. In September of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the eunuch Wang Yingchao and Deng Xizhao monitored the military food and rewards of Guan, Ning and Ji towns, and said that the central officials began to supervise the army again. The previously abolished system of dispatching eunuchs to supervise the army was restored.

In fact, it was also a big blame for the court ministers who were not good at doing things well. They didn’t know how to do things well. They thought of party struggles. From the first to the fourth year of Chongzhen, four years after the cabinet changed over and over, causing chaos in the court. Zhu Youjian was extremely disappointed and activated his close servants around him.

"That's true. There is no such thing as no reason in this world. The things I do will inevitably infringe on the interests of some people and become the target of attack by others. Humph, do you think your hands are so easy to stretch out?"

Su Tiancheng's face is very bad.

Qu Qingze was a little surprised, afraid that Su Tiancheng would do something irrational. In desperation, he couldn't take much care of it.

"Sir, even if you think of these things, you can't act rashly. Wang Zhen is the man of Eunuch Cao and has great power. Even the Minister of War, Lord Tang, and Lord Yingtian Prefecture, dare not offend him easily."

"Haha, my brother knows these things. He didn't remind me earlier, this is yours, it's almost two months since we worked together. Don't you know the style of doing things? Don't worry."

Qu Qingze left uneasy. Su Tiancheng was indeed capable and did everything he wanted to do, but such stubbornness was also what he was most worried about. If he was not careful, he would get angry and do irrational things, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Qu Qingze even thought of reporting to Lord Dong immediately to prevent Su Tiancheng from doing stupid things.

Su Tiancheng's idea is different. It is definitely not valid to impeach Wang Zhen directly. It is a pursuit of death. Doing such a thing requires using wisdom.

The conflict between Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen is the best focus.

Wang Zhen is Cao Huachun's person. He does everything to protect Cao Huachun's interests. Of course, he also wants to defame Wang Chengen. Such a struggle is no big deal, and it sounds normal, but it is abnormal if it involves himself.

The key is that Wang Zhenyang's behavior that he disagrees with Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng was determined to maintain his relationship and gave him two thousand taels of gold to make friends with Wang Zhen. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhen took the property in one hand and then attacked him. Such a villain would never tolerate it.

From a more profound relationship, Wang Chengen defends himself, that is to say, he is a person supported by Wang Chengen. Wang Zhen plots on himself, and the main goal may be to target Wang Chengen.

I am going to the capital soon and meeting the emperor. This is the best opportunity.

Wouldn't it be a pity that I can't seize such a good opportunity?

No matter how the effect is, at least the emperor must have a good impression of himself and not easily believe Wang Zhen's words. Then slowly look for opportunities to exclude Wang Zhen through the conflict between Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun and let Wang Zhen leave Nanjing.

If you do this, many things will be easier to handle in the future.

I want to do things well in Jiangning County without being disturbed too much, and I must get support from the above.

The contradictions are looming. Su Tiancheng has never forgotten about Tang Haitai's affairs. Maybe in Tang Shiji's heart, he already has a certain view of himself. Wang Daozhi may support him, but he will not do it meticulously.

The supreme leaders of Nanzhili, namely Tang Shiji, Wang Zhen and Zhang Taining, Zhang Taining will not care about local affairs, so there is no need to consider it for the time being. If Tang Shiji and Wang Zhen have their own opinions on themselves, or even take action directly, then their situation will be very difficult.
