In "Ming Dynasty 1566", Chen Hong is a natural careerist and a man who has been behind the pot for 10,000 years.
As Lu Fang's right-hand man, Chen Hong, under the protection of his godfather, has increased his knowledge, improved his ability, broadened his horizons, and spawned ambitions. Tokugawa Ieyasu said,Once people are ambitious, they will have many illusions, as if they have discovered thousands of treasures. From the eunuch of the pen to the eunuch of the palm print, although it seems that there is only a difference in one word, it is the ceiling of the workplace that many eunuchs can never break through. As long as the ancestor is in the celebrant for one day, Chen Hong can only be the second ancestor under one person and above ten thousand people. 
The most regrettable thing in life is never that you can't do it, but that you are a little worse. Chen Hong seems to be close to the throne of the prime minister, but in fact it is untouchable. After all, with the relationship between Lu Fang and Jiajing, unless the emperor dies, Chen Hong's dream can only be in vain. The road from the second-in-command to the first-in-command has always been so close and so far. Chen Hong's strength could not support his crazy ambition, so he could only find someone to help him and seek foreign aid. After the Zheng He case, Lu Fang was sent to Wannian Jiyang, and Yan Song moved out of the cabinet room. Chen Hong and Xu Jie took advantage of the situation and became the actual internal and external ministers. I've been waiting for a long time, and I've finally waited for today. Chen Hong, who took office, took the opportunity to woo Xu Jie, hoping that the two sides would become strategic partners. Chen Hong said, ".The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and a new generation is better than the old”。This is said very directly, and in the future, the Ming Dynasty will be the two of us. 
It's a pity that Xu Jie is not Chen Hong. As the second assistant of the cabinet, a ninja for twenty years, he still maintains his strategic focus - if he is undecided, he will do it first. Faced with the olive branch thrown by Chen Hong, he did not hesitate for a second, and directly refused. The rafters that come out early are destined to rot first. Sure enough, before the Green Words Competition, the classic combination of Yan Song + Lu Fang was launched again, and Chen Hong's wings had not yet been supported, so they broke sadly. 
If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow. Although Chen Hong was unfavorable in the first battle, he still did not abandon or give up. As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties. After the blood menstrual incident, Chen Hong and Yan Song clenched their hands together. At this time, the strict party has reached the point of exhaustion. In the past, Yan Maoqing patrolled the salt to anger the emperor, and then Concubine Li donated blood to take advantage of the situation to make up for the knife. Yan Song's father and son have always known the power of the situation and followed the trend, but this time the initiative was in the hands of others. 
There is no way back behind him, only to sacrifice his life to move forward. Under the pressure of Qingliu step by step, Yan Dang can only choose bloodletting** and a complete showdown. During the entire Spring Festival holiday, Yan Dang was not idle, they tried their best to investigate everywhere, and finally restored the cause and effect of the blood menstrual incident. Yan Dang, who was still fighting in the trapped beast, found Chen Hong, who was about to move. Gonggong Chen coveted the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal, and the two sides hit it off. Taking advantage of Jiajing's exit from the customs, on the night of the Lantern Festival, Chen Hong presented Yan Song's recital. Yan Song's performance was few words, short-term and long-term, naming Concubine Li, Qi Dazhu's wife, Gao Hanwen and his wife, etc., and bluntly said that they were guilty of defrauding the king. For Yan Song's performance, Jiajing's reaction was very strong,"Fool the sky!
Jiajing's reaction was in line with Chen Hong's prediction, and the next thing was the plot of the soldiers being divided into three ways and taking people when they were in the middle of the day. According to Chen Hong's understanding, Xu Gaozhang instigated Concubine Li to make up stories and donate blood scriptures, which is naturally a capital crime. Ironically, as soon as the camera changes, the plot reverses. Chen Hong originally thought that the Qingliu clique was going to be purged, but in the end, the Yan party clique was wiped out. On the night of the Lantern Festival, Xu Gaozhang retreated with his whole body, Yan Shifan swept away the ground, Chen Hong was busy all night, and finally found out that the clown was himself. According to common sense, Chen Hong is the number two person in the celebrant eunuch, and he is also the rotating eunuch beside Jiajing, so he is naturally a role with hands and eyes. What is strange is that before Yan Dang was investigated and punished, why did he stand on the wrong team and get on the wrong boat?
The answer is very heart-wrenching, whether it is Jiajing or Lu Fang, everyone treats him as a tool, and no one treats him as their own. Chen Hong is close to the pinnacle of power, seemingly infinitely beautiful, but in fact the stars are dim. As long as you have worked hard in the workplace, you will understand that the leader will not criticize you in public when he treats his own people, but will only give you important work. It's a pity that here in Jiajing, Chen Hong passed by these two perfectly. Jiajing's role positioning for Chen Hong is to carry the black cauldron, so even after taking the position, Chen Hong has always been insulated from important work, and can only do some time-consuming and thankless work. Jiajing treats Lu Fang and Huang Jin, that's how he treats his own people. 
Chen Hong seems to be in a high position, but he is outside the center of power. Jiajing and Lu Fang have long been strict about things, but they are both tight-lipped about Chen Hong. Therefore, Chen Hong, who is not reliable, can only rely on experience to judge. Before Yan fell, Chen Hong saw the story like this: Zheng He's big case turned into a big matter and a small matter, and Yan Ge Lao was really powerful. Yan Songjuan asked to arrest the Tongwu Diao people Qi Dazhu, the emperor didn't blink an eye, and the emperor still trusted Yan Dang. Yan Maoqing returned from a salt tour, and 2.3 million taels of silver were handed over to the state treasury, and the money had to be made by the strict party. 
Xu Gao and Zhang made out the false news that Zhang Zhenren had come to the world, Qi Dazhu was released, and although Qingliu narrowly won, it was difficult to hide the decline. Yan Song's father and son found out the truth of the blood menstrual incident, and the advantage is mine. Due to the existence of poor information, Chen Hong can only see the surface of the matter, but cannot touch the truth behind it. In this way, it was not until the end that he found out that Yan Dang won and lost, and he laughed and cried. 
Chen Hong never understood that the battle report could be deceiving, but the front line would not. In the tug-of-war between Qingliu and Yan Dang, Yan Dang successively lost a group of capable generals such as Ma Ningyuan, Zheng Michang, He Maocai, etc., Yan Shifan was blasted out of the cabinet, and even Xu Jie was able to sit on an equal footing with Yan Song. The Yan Party has reached the point of fighting against the water, and Chen Hong is still thinking about consolidating the alliance. The results are visible to the naked eye, and facts speak louder than words. In 1911, he became a eunuch from the palace, and in 1949, he decisively entered the **. Chen Hong, stupid to home.
