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.
But later Zhu Youxiao discovered one thing, that is, having a bodyguard with maximum combat power in the palace was not of much use to him, and no one would rush into the palace to kill him.
Even if someone really wants to kill them, they will take some more insidious measures.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao has never made much use of Fang Zhenghua, but now should be a good opportunity.
Fang Zhenghua is a relatively loyal and talented person, and he is not that selfish, so he can be used by himself.
In fact, although the Imperial Household Department appeared to be an office that managed royal affairs, Zhu Youxiao intended to use it as a place to train officials for himself.
In the future, when you need people, you can transfer officials from the Imperial Household Department to other places. This is called repairing the plank road in public while secretly attacking Chencang.
If he blatantly cultivated some officials, it would inevitably cause some people to be disgusted, which was something Zhu Youxiao did not want.
Zhu Youxiao would not reveal his intentions before things happened, because that would only make himself more passive and increase the difficulty of pushing things forward.
For Zhu Youxiao, the less people noticed before he took action, the better. This is why Zhu Youxiao chose the name "Neiwufu".
Because this yamen has never appeared in history before the Ming Dynasty, many things can be smeared at will.
If we must find a similar institution, the Shaofu of the Han Dynasty might be more appropriate. However, Zhu Youxiao never thought of using the name Shaofu.
The reason is very simple, because this is a yamen that appears in official history records, and the civil servants all know what kind of yamen it is.
Once the "Neiwufu" was called "Shaofu", the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty would be wary of this government office and would even impose restrictions in various aspects.
This would unnecessarily increase the difficulty of Zhu Youxiao's task, and he would not do that.
So Zhu Youxiao chose the name "Neiwufu", which had never appeared before.
After taking a look at Chen Hong who was walking back, Zhu Youxiao said, "Go find Fang Zhenghua."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong agreed quickly, then hurried out to find someone.
For Chen Hong, he did not feel very good during this period. Although he was promoted, it was far from his expectations.
In Chen Hong's mind, since he became the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, he should be the number one eunuch in the palace. However, the situation was far from that.
Not to mention Wei Zhongxian, Wang An is also showing signs of making a comeback; now the emperor wants to meet Fang Zhenghua again, so it is obvious that he may want to use him.
Once Fang Zhenghua was reused, it would definitely mean that his power was weakened again, and Chen Hong felt a sense of crisis.
Originally, Wang An and Wei Zhongxian did not make Chen Hong feel this way because they were of the same generation.
But once Fang Zhenghua comes in, it represents the rise of newcomers.
To use an inappropriate phrase, his struggle with Wei Zhongxian and Wang An was an internal struggle, but once Fang Zhenghua came in, it meant that a new person had joined the battle.
So Chen Hong was thinking about this Fang Zheng Hua all the way. He made up his mind to learn more about Fang Zheng Hua after returning.
Zhu Youxiao didn't have to wait too long before Fang Zhenghua walked in from outside.
"Your servant greets His Majesty." Fang Zhenghua knelt on the ground at a distance as soon as he entered the hall.
Seeing Fang Zhenghua prostrating himself on the ground and kowtowing, Zhu Youxiao showed no expression.
This Fang Zhenghua gave Zhu Youxiao a somewhat different feeling. This was not the first time he had seen Fang Zhenghua, but he had not looked at him very seriously the last time.
This time, when he looked at Fang Zhenghua again, Zhu Youxiao found that he was indeed a strong man, and he couldn't tell that he was a eunuch at all. It seemed that his fighting skills were not exaggerated.
The most important thing is that Zhu Youxiao felt that Fang Zhenghua should be a person with more intentions.
"Okay, get up." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Fang Zhenghua stood up from the ground, Zhu Youxiao's eyes fell on him again. He looked him up and down before saying, "I heard that you did a good job. This time, I have something to entrust to you."
"Your Majesty, please give me your orders. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Fang Zhenghua said respectfully.
Although he didn't know what the emperor wanted him to do, Fang Zhenghua knew one thing: his chance had come.
You have to know that Fang Zhenghua's life in the palace was not easy during this period. His patron Wei Chao was sent to Liaodong, which was equivalent to losing his position in the palace. Naturally, he himself was not treated well.
Now, no matter what the emperor asks me to do, it is an opportunity for me.
Under such circumstances, Fang Zhenghua naturally had no reason to retreat. He had to work hard, perform well, and strive to reach a high position.
Therefore, Fang Zhenghua was very positive, and his tone and attitude were very sincere.
"Do you know about the Imperial Household Department?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I know." Fang Zhenghua said quickly, "Recently, both inside and outside the palace, the most discussed topic is the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There is no eunuch in the palace who doesn't want to go. This is an opportunity for them."
Rather than living in the palace with no future and darkness, it is better to go out and try your luck.
However, Fang Zhenghua did not expect that he would have such an opportunity, because several bigwigs in the palace were arranging this matter. Whether it was Wang An's people, Chen Hong's people in front of him, or Wei Zhongxian's people, they were all vying for the position of manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
