The Jinyiwei conducted a very quick investigation of the meeting. On the next day, the results of the investigation were sent to Zhao Ming's desk.

After looking through the results, Zhao Ming was a little angry because the meeting was completely manipulated by the people below.

The workers' representatives found by the government were not workers' representatives at all, but factory foremen. These people were completely on the side of the merchants, so the whole meeting was carried out completely according to the merchant's wishes.

Zhao Ming continued to look through and then found out that officials in the court accepted information about donations from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

"Does these things be true? Does the Jinyiwei have the conclusive evidence?" Zhao Ming asked in a deep voice.

Ma Jin hurriedly saluted: "Report to the Regent, the Jinyiwei has already obtained absolute evidence and can get people now!"

In recent years, the power of the Jinyiwei has declined, and without power, there will be no benefits. As the current commander of the Jinyiwei, Ma Jin is not without ambition and hopes to restore the authority of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei.

Zhao Ming glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Prepare the evidence and cooperate with the inspector to get people!"

Ma Jin was a little disappointed when he heard the words, but he still saluted: "I will accept the order!"

Zhao Ming then waved his hand and asked him to retreat, and ordered his subordinates to summon the Left Censor of the Inspectorate and the Head of the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Rites to come to see him.

Soon, Yan Qiheng, the left censor of the Inspectorate, came to the study and sat in his seat with some anxiety.

Zhao Ming waited for him to sit for a while before he raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Governor Yan advises that many officials in the court are now corrupt. They do not ask for the people, but only endorse the powerful. Do you know clearly?"

Yan Qiheng sweated on his forehead. With his political sense, he clearly felt that the Regent was already a little dissatisfied with some people in the court.

The Regent proposed to increase the treatment of workers, and the public opinion in Jiangnan immediately came out to sing a counter-topic, which may have made the Regent feel threatened, but in fact it was also the result of some knowledgeable people in the court waiting for a long time.

Now that the Regent comes to him, he is most likely to attack someone. Some officials in the court may fall, but this may not be a bad thing for him.

"The Regent is in Jiangnan, with a developed culture and education, and a prosperous economy. Most of the officials in the court come from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Some of the officials have their own families as gentry in Jiangnan, so they are inevitably biased towards gentry and powerful people in their positions." Yan Qiheng hurriedly said: "I believe that most of the officials are decent, ideal, and party-oriented."

Zhao Ming frowned, "That's what the Inspectorate also knows that some people no longer talk about party spirit."

Yan Qiheng was silent, which was considered a default.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "I have something to do!"

As he said that, Zhao Ming pushed the information left by the Jinyiwei to Zhuobian, and then instructed: "Take it back and see! I will ask the Jinyiwei commander to find you later. If you two departments cooperate, they will cleanly remove all the scums of the officials and businessmen and the power-for-money transactions from the court."

Yan Qiheng was cheered up when he heard the words, took over the information and saluted solemnly, "I understand!"

Zhao Ming waved his hand and asked him to go out, but as soon as the man turned around, Zhao Ming instructed again: "Don't leak the news before the action, otherwise you can go home and grow sweet potatoes!"

Shortly after Yan Qiheng left, the head of the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Rites rushed to the royal palace.

After Zhao Ming summoned him, he threw the low revenge on his face and cursed, "As the mouthpiece of the court, he actually published such an article. Where is your political awareness? Or did you take the money and make a mistake?"

The head of the Propaganda Department was a confidant official who Zhao Ming trusted. This time, the official underreport did not guide public opinion. Instead, he criticized the court's policies together with the newspapers controlled by the gentry and merchants in Jiangnan, and all the public opinion fronts were lost, which made Zhao Ming extremely angry.

The head of the chief quickly explained: "Reporting to the Regent, the report was posted by a doctor below, and it was not until the next day that I found out."

Zhao Ming cursed: "Then why not fight back!"

The main official said: "Public opinion has been controlled by them, and the results of the negotiation are announced. Whoever makes different remarks will be attacked by the government and the opposition, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the court!"

"You are really a bureaucrat! For the sake of black veil on your head, you don't want the party spirit!" Zhao Ming cursed.

Zhao Ming cursed for a while, and said the leader blushed, and finally said, "Regent, after I go back, I will come back to fight back."

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "You go back and get ready and wait for my instructions!"

In Nanjing, the Grand Secretary Du Yinxi's residence, Yan Qiheng and Du Yinxi sat in the study.

At this time, Yan Qiheng said: "Gei Master, we deliberately indulged this time, and finally let the Regent realize the harm they had to the court!"

Du Yinxi said in a deep voice: "For the Regent, we are always foreign branches, not his direct descendants. The Regent has always distrust us. If we attack them, it will only make the Regent doubt us. Only by making the Regent realize that the corruption of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang groups and the collusion between officials and businessmen harm the interests of the court, the Regent takes action and we will help from the side to defeat them."

"It's still the Ge Lao who thought it through!" Yan Qiheng exclaimed.

Du Yinxi said: "They squeezed you out of the cabinet two years ago. This time they should have one or two cabinet members who will be removed by the regent. At that time, our cabinet will recommend you to the cabinet again and make you become a cabinet minister again."

Yan Qiheng smiled and said, "I really thank you Master!"

On the other side, the mansion of the chief minister Chen Mingyu, Huang Zongxi and others came to visit.

In the study, Chen Mingyu said in a deep voice: "The Regent is very dissatisfied with this incident. At that time, our cabinet will not support you. In recent years, gentry and merchants have earned enough. The Regent has also increased the treatment of workers, and it is also for the court and for our National Socialist Party. Now, the Regent has asked the cabinet to reconsider. This cabinet means that gentry and merchants must make concessions."

"Good each other and anger!" Huang Zongxi smiled and said, "The gentry and merchants did not agree to concessions, but the time is not ripe. In the past two years, the market was not good and the workshops did not make much money. Now the court has just opened up the markets of Zhou and Dongshuo, and the factory is about to make full production, but the Regent proposed to increase the treatment of workers and shorten working hours. I thought it was not advisable, but a wrong decision. As a minister, I thought we should be responsible and prevent the Regent from making wrong decisions."

Chen Mingyu said coldly: "Now is not the time, when is the time? Will the merchants make a fortune when the factory products are produced? I am afraid that by then, they will have new reasons! I warn you not to underestimate the wisdom of the regent, and Master Du Ge has long been dissatisfied with you!"
