Huiyun was a little surprised to see Chen Qingzhu send Liang Bao away so forcefully, and she was unsure about the success or failure of this matter.

"Master, will he do as we ask?"

"Dealing with a second-rank official is no small matter."

Chen Qingzhu chuckled:

"The timing is right for the court now. For the eunuchs who are in charge of the army, this matter is not that difficult. It all depends on whether he dares to do it."

Emperor Yong'an was a very suspicious emperor.

Rather than the generals with heavy troops under their command, he must have trusted the eunuchs sent out to supervise the army more.

Eunuchs come from poor backgrounds, all their power comes from themselves, and they have no descendants. They are isolated and helpless in the court, so they are naturally more likely to be loyal to the emperor than ordinary ministers.

The fact that Liang Bao was sent to such an important place as Nando City to supervise the army is enough to show that he was very trusted by the emperor.

His words even carry more weight than those of Censor Yuan.

At the same time, Liang Bao had served in the palace for many years and was able to climb to a high position, and he was able to grasp Emperor Yong'an's thoughts better than ordinary people.

As long as he made up his mind to do it, he would be able to bring down Tan Song by hitting Emperor Yong'an's pain points.

"Does he dare?"

Huiyun couldn't help but ask.

Chen Qingzhu said affirmatively:

"I dare. As long as there is enough benefit, these eunuchs have always been very courageous. Throughout history, there have been eunuchs who have brought down emperors, let alone a second-rank official."

By accomplishing this, Liang Bao would not only benefit from Cihang Temple.

It will also be beneficial to his own future.

After all, Emperor Yong'an sent these eunuchs to supervise the army and gave them such great power, not because he wanted them to be friendly with local officials.

In the eyes of Emperor Yong'an, Liang Bao's action against Tan Song, who had a strong background, was a manifestation of his loyalty to his master.

After this incident, he will value Liang Bao even more.

Since Liang Bao was able to climb to his current position, he must have come to his senses quickly and thought about these things.

Therefore, Chen Qingzhu was not worried about the outcome of this matter.

After she showed off several magical methods, it was very unlikely that Liang Bao would not take the bait.

The facts were just as Chen Qingzhu expected.

After Liang Bao went back and thought about it for two days, he finally couldn't bear to become a normal person and leave himself the temptation of incense.

I began to consider the benefits of dealing with Tan Song.

Then he soon discovered that, apart from offending the family behind Tan Song, this matter actually had many benefits.

As the saying goes, a meeting brings about a third of affection. As the emperor's close attendant, he has been away from the capital for a year and I am afraid that he will soon be forgotten by His Majesty.

His achievements in the Southern Capital City would also be a good opportunity for him to demonstrate his ability and loyalty to His Majesty.

In this way, not only will he not be marginalized due to his transfer, but he will be reused by His Majesty.

If I return from Nandu, maybe I can make further progress.

Therefore, compared with the huge benefits of accomplishing this matter, those risks are worth taking.

Thinking of this, Liang Bao quickly handed a letter to Cihang Temple, indicating that he had begun to do what the temple master had instructed.

While Liang Bao was working hard to mobilize the forces of the Imperial Household Department to collect evidence of Tan Song's crimes, the battle report of Songhu was also sent to the capital.

Minister Pang of the Ministry of War, who was always good at pleasing Emperor Yong'an, naturally kept this victory news at the court.

At the end of last year, heavy snow caused a disaster, freezing many ordinary people to death near the capital.

The disaster was particularly severe on the northeastern border and grasslands.

At the beginning of spring, those damned Hu people rode south on their horses and plundered many towns on the northeastern border.

Now that the war on the northeastern border has not yet ended, Qin Province has once again suffered from drought this year. All the spring seedlings have died of drought and there is no harvest.

The governor of Qin Province failed to provide disaster relief, and the local mobs colluded with the military households to rise up. Now, in just two months, they have occupied more than half of Qin Province.

Unfortunately, the local officials fled in panic and failed to send the military information to the capital in time. By the time Your Majesty sent troops to encircle and suppress the rioters, the rioters had already become a force to be reckoned with and were now in a stalemate with the government troops.

Even more unfortunate was the fact that half a month ago, an earthquake occurred in the capital.

For a time, public opinion was boiling.

Everyone says that it is Your Majesty's incompetence and lack of virtue that has led to the continuous natural disasters.
