When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.
Monk Meng Qing did not know that he was being targeted by Chen Ying and would soon be in big trouble. He was still busy with military affairs in Daning City. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, who had arrived in Nanjing, had already swept away the tail of the typhoon before him.
During the Hongwu period, Chen Ying entered the Imperial Academy as a talent tribute. He was good at arguing and had a reputation for talent. He was promoted to censor, and later served as the inspector of Shandong. During this period, he established a relationship with the Prince of Yan's palace and was appreciated by Zhu Di. After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, Tang Zong reported that Chen Ying had received money from King Yan and participated in Zhu Di's rebellion. Adhering to the principle of rather catching mistakes than letting them go, Zhu Yunwen sent Chen Ying to Guangxi for labor reform with a stroke of his pen.
When Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, he specially recalled Chen Ying from Guangxi and promoted him to the left deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
In order for the civil servants and generals in Nanjing to fully realize that the emperor sitting on the dragon throne was different and the times were different, Zhu Di needed people like Chen Ying to break the deadlock.
