Whether for Wei Zhongxian or Chen Hong, it is not a good thing for Wang An to come back to the public this time.

In their hearts, Wang An had already been labeled as finished. Now Wang An was not finished yet, but the time from being finished would not be too long, so Wei Zhongxian and Chen Hong did not take Wang An to heart.

But who would have thought that such a person would actually turn things around at such a time?

This makes it a little hard to guess.

Chen Hong was a little confused about the emperor's thoughts. In his opinion, shouldn't this be his chance?

Wei Zhongxian, needless to say, was above him in status; Wang An was also above him, but his position was already precarious. He should have been the best candidate this time, so how did it end up being Wang An's?

Although Chen Hong was confused and felt a little aggrieved, he still didn't dare to say anything, not even to ask.

Now Zhu Youxiao asked him to find Wang An, and Chen Hong did not dare to delay, so he turned around and ran out.

When Chen Hong arrived at Wang An's courtyard, Wang An was planting peonies.

"Eunuch Wang, you are in a good mood. The emperor is calling you." Chen Hong shook the whisk in his hand with a forced smile.

The Emperor summoned me?

Wang An's hand, which was planting flowers, froze in mid-air for a moment. Wang An himself was also surprised by Zhu Youxiao's summons.

In fact, Wang An also knew his own situation and that he was not favored by His Majesty. However, he did not get too excited. It was normal for the emperor to have new ministers, especially since His Majesty had been dealing with the Donglin Party.

Wang An was actually quite anxious about Your Majesty's handling of the Donglin Party, because he felt that Your Majesty was cleaning out the loyal ministers in the court.

As for why Your Majesty did this? Who influenced him?

Who else could it be besides Wei Zhongxian and Chen Hong?

Looking at Chen Hong with a smile on his face, Wang An did not give him a good look.

In Wang An's opinion, he was afraid that he would be in great danger this time, so he decided to be brave and tell His Majesty his thoughts after meeting him, which would be considered as his loyalty.

I can’t take care of other things. I’m afraid I have to go and serve the late emperor.

"Wait a moment." Wang An scooped up some clean water to wash off the dust, and then brushed off the yellow mud on the corners of his clothes before following Chen Hong to the Qianqing Palace.

The setting sun shines on the golden glazed tile roof, emitting a dazzling glow.

"It's been a long time since I last came to the Emperor's place." Wang An looked at the plaque hanging above the gate, feeling dazed.

After entering the hall, Wang An looked at Zhu Youxiao from afar and knelt on the ground, saying respectfully, "This old servant pays homage to the Emperor."

"Okay, get up!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand expressionlessly.

Wang An stood up from the ground and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao waved to Wang An and asked him to come closer.

This made Wang An feel like something was stuck in his throat and he was stuck.

When Wang An walked up to him, Zhu Youxiao looked him up and down.

Zhu Youxiao found that Wang An was good-looking. Compared with Wei Zhongxian and Chen Hong, he looked more like a scholar and had a more elegant demeanor.

Obviously this is why Wang An was close to the Donglin Party, because he was a scholar.

However, it is hard to say whether he was accepted by the Donglin Party.

"Are you feeling well?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang An and asked gently.

"Your Majesty, I am in good health." Wang An bowed quickly and said.

"That's good. I have something I want you to do. I originally thought that your body couldn't take it, but now you are fine." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.

Wang An was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that His Majesty had something for him to do.

However, he wasn't overly excited. This matter could be either good or bad. If it was a good thing, then there was nothing to say; but if it was a bad thing, then the result wouldn't necessarily be better than just killing him.

Zhu Youxiao didn't look at Wang An's expression, but turned to Chen Hong and said, "Show it to him."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong agreed, walked to the side, took out a booklet and handed it to Wang An, then bowed and stood aside.

"Let's take a look." Zhu Youxiao said.

After Wang An took the booklet, he quickly flipped through it.

This was a booklet on the establishment of the Imperial Household Department. After taking a look at the contents, he knew how important this Imperial Household Department was.

The Imperial Household Department is simply the emperor's chief steward, with enormous power. It can connect with both inside and outside the palace, and is even more powerful than the Eastern Depot.

Wang An didn't know why His Majesty showed him this booklet. He had an idea in his mind, but he didn't dare to believe it.

"I plan to hand over the Imperial Household Department to you. Besides you, there is also the father-in-law of the emperor, and another minister who has not yet been determined. But the other minister will be a supervisor. I haven't thought of the name of the official position yet. Are you willing to do it?" Zhu Youxiao asked calmly.

This is a good opportunity for Wang An, allowing him to get out of his current predicament.

If he didn't agree, he would definitely be dealt with, so he had no other choice.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao did not give Wang An any other choice. He had no other choice but to agree.

Wang An was not prepared to refuse, as everyone knew what his current status was.

His Majesty is giving him a chance this time, and he must seize it. So Wang An agreed directly, kneeling on the ground and saying respectfully: "This old servant is willing to serve the emperor with all his heart."
