Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Corrupt Emperor

Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.

Chapter 187 Discussing Ideals with Wang An

"That's good." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "I'll leave you a position as a scribe in the Imperial Household Department, ranking above Wei Zhongxian. You'll have to give up the position of seal holder. Take good care of the Imperial Household Department for me. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for not giving the Empress face."

Wang An's heart moved. Is it for the Queen's face?

No wonder I was able to get over it this time. It turned out that the Queen pleaded for me.

At this moment, Wang An suddenly felt grateful to the queen, and also thought that the queen was a virtuous queen.

What is more crucial is that Wang An saw one thing, that is, the queen was able to advise His Majesty.

"Okay, go ahead." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.

"I'll go right away." Wang An agreed, bowed and walked out.

However, he did not return to his residence, but went towards Kunning Palace.

Wang An has to go and express his gratitude, he has no choice but to go.

Watching Wang An leave, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Chen Hong and said expressionlessly, "You should take over Wang An's position."

After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Chen Hong was overjoyed and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao, "Your servant thanks the emperor!"

Chen Hong was really happy, and the little depression in his heart was swept away.

The ranking of eunuchs in the palace was very strict, and the highest authority was the Imperial Household Department, also known as the Inner Court.

Eunuchs who were able to enter the Imperial Household Department were naturally superior to others, and this was something no one else could compare to.

In the Imperial Household Department, the eunuchs were clearly divided into different levels.

The first in line was the eunuch who held the seal of the Imperial Household Department, and the others were eunuchs who held the pen. However, there was also a ranking among the eunuchs who held the pen.

The second person in line was actually Wei Zhongxian, who was ordered to supervise the Eastern Depot. However, there was another person, Wang An, who was the supervisor of the Imperial Household Department and had directly stepped ahead of the Eastern Depot.

In Chen Hong's opinion, the person who should be most unhappy in this incident should be Wei Zhongxian, as he was demoted for no reason.

Originally, Wei Zhongxian was second only to the eunuch in charge of the seal, and he himself was ranked behind Wei Zhongxian.

But this time, the emperor not only made himself the first eunuch in charge of the seal, but also made Wang An the second, and Wei Zhongxian was directly demoted from the second to the third. This was simply a demotion for no reason.

However, Chen Hong felt very happy about Wei Zhongxian's fate.

Doesn’t Zhu Youxiao know the consequences of doing this?

Of course he knew it, but he still did it.

The eunuchs in the imperial palace, like the courtiers, were all about balance. It wasn't very balanced originally, but now it is.

If Wang An was eliminated, then the struggle would be between Wei Zhongxian and Chen Hong, which would not be good. But now there are three people, so a balanced situation will be presented.

What's more, Zhu Youxiao made Wang An the queen's man. This was actually for the purpose of checks and balances in the palace, and also to help his wife stabilize her position as queen more quickly.

In addition, it is also very important to give your wife more say in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After arranging everything, Zhu Youxiao said to Chen Hong: "Okay, get up, don't kneel, go to the queen."

"yes."

After saying this, Chen Hong stood up and walked towards the queen.

When Zhu Youxiao arrived at Kunning Palace, Empress Zhang was already waiting for him there.

After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Empress Zhang ran straight to Zhu Youxiao like a young swallow flying into the forest. Her face was slightly red, and she stared at Zhu Youxiao with her big eyes, looking a little out of breath.

This made Zhu Youxiao's appetite grow. Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Youxiao took a step forward, stretched out his hand to pull Empress Zhang into his arms, and kissed her slightly opened mouth.

No scruples.

He doesn't take the people around him seriously at all.

The people around seemed to disappear in an instant. Everyone lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao released Empress Zhang.

At this time, Empress Zhang's face had already turned red. She didn't dare to look up and just lay directly in Zhu Youxiao's arms.

Zhu Youxiao immediately smiled and carried her into the palace.

After entering the palace, Empress Zhang relaxed and crawled out of Zhu Youxiao's arms.

"I thought Baozhu wanted me to carry her in directly." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"His Majesty!"

Empress Zhang cried out coquettishly, then pouting as she sat down next to Zhu Youxiao, she said, "Wang An just came over to thank me. Your Majesty is so kind to me!"

Although Empress Zhang was not very clear about what was happening in the palace, she had people around her.

Those who were transferred to serve Empress Zhang naturally knew clearly what was going on and had told her everything about Wang An.

Empress Zhang also understood Zhu Youxiao's painstaking efforts in an instant.

"It's good that you understand my painstaking efforts. Just live a good life with me. Now give me a prince first." As he said that, Zhu Youxiao directly picked up the queen and walked towards the couch inside.

All along the way, there were Zhu Youxiao's laughter and Empress Zhang's coquettish voices.
