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 532: Paying Money to Take the Blame

Huang Changzong was stunned when he saw the person coming. He didn't expect that the person coming was Wei Chao.

Huang Changzong of the Wei Dynasty dared not neglect this eunuch, who was one of the most trusted eunuchs around the emperor.

You know, in the palace, ordinary people can't come into contact with such eunuchs.

There are a total of four well-known eunuchs in the current court.

One of them was Wang An, who originally held a very high position. However, after the current emperor ascended the throne, Wang An was neglected for a period of time. However, this man was also quite resourceful and quickly gained the support of the empress. He was currently living in the Cining Palace, with Empress Zhang, and was extremely powerful. He also managed the Imperial Household Department, where he had a strong say and served as a communication point between Huang Changzong and the inner court.

Then there was Chen Hong, the current emperor's personal eunuch. He was responsible for many things in the entire palace, and even had some disputes with the Jinyiwei. In such a situation, Chen Hong was not someone to be trifled with. He had great power, so he would hide away if possible.

Besides this, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian of the East Depot naturally ranks high. Although the emperor has made more use of the Imperial Guard in recent years, no one underestimates the East Depot. After all, this eunuch Wei has always been the emperor's confidant, and with the help of the civil servant Cui Chengxiu, he has done a lot of things in recent years. Although he is not active now, his status is still there.

The Wei Chao before him was even more unusual. He had once been a highly favored eunuch in the imperial palace. After the emperor ascended the throne, Wei Chao went to Liaodong, where he accompanied Xiong Tingbi. After years of hardship, Liaodong won a great victory, and he was finally transferred back to the emperor's side.

Now Wei Chao's reputation as a military expert has spread, and he has a very good relationship with the imperial army. He is usually the one who contacts the imperial army's commanding office, and his status is also very high.

This time, the emperor brought two eunuchs with him, one was Chen Hong and the other was Wei Chao.

At this time, Wei Chao came here, something happened!

Huang Changzong quickly stood up and walked straight to Wei Chao's side. He bowed and said, "Greetings, eunuch."

After hearing this, Cao Bang, who was sitting behind Huang Changzong, stood up suddenly.

At this time, Cao Bang's face was full of disbelief, and his body was shaking and he almost sat on the ground.

The person in front of me is actually my father-in-law. What does that mean?

It means the emperor is here!

The emperor is here. What did you just say?

Wei Chao didn't care about Cao Bang's nervousness at all. He just glanced at him and then looked away.

His eyes fell on Huang Changzong, and Wei Chao said, "Alright, no need to be polite. You've almost finished your conversation, right? Then follow us."

After saying that, Wei Chao turned around and walked outside.

Huang Changzong quickly glanced at Cao Bang and winked at him.

As for whether Cao Bang understood or not, Huang Changzong didn't care at this time and turned around and walked out. Since the emperor summoned him, he naturally didn't dare to delay.

Cao Bang was extremely panicked at this time. He forced himself to calm down and then followed Huang Changzong out.

After the two of them went out, they went directly to Room No. 3, and were then taken in by Wei Chao.

Huang Changzong quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I, Huang Changzong, pay my respects to you."

Cao Bang on the side fell to his knees with a thud.

Rather than a solemn obeisance, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees. He was speechless, not even daring to raise his head, and knelt on the ground, his head touching the ground.

It’s so scary that the emperor is here!

I’m afraid the emperor has heard what I just said!

No wonder Huang Changzong kept interrupting me and guiding me just now. He was trying to stop me from saying those words!

In this situation, I still said some nonsense!

Zhu Youxiao was leaning on the couch at this time, looking at Huang Changzong and the other man with an expressionless face.

Chen Yu'er sat beside Zhu Youxiao and waited on him. She wiped his lips with a silk handkerchief. As for the following scene, she seemed not to see it.

Chen Yuer has seen a lot these days, and the best reaction is that she didn't see anything.

Zhu Youxiao didn't really care and said, "Everyone, get up."

After Huang Changzong and the other man stood up, Zhu Youxiao looked at Huang Changzong and said, "The person you saved with all your efforts doesn't seem to be worthy of your protection. I thought he would be smart, but I didn't expect him to be just not very stupid."

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Huang Changzong's face immediately showed an embarrassed expression, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I just want to recruit a talent for the court."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "There are too many stupid people in this world, but there are also many talented people. Ye Chi from the Ye family is a talent, right? And his ancestors were also talented, right? But what did they do?"

"Sometimes, people are afraid of being too smart. The Ming Dynasty is so big and has so many people, there is no shortage of talents. However, you have done well, but your vision is not very good. This does not mean you are a talent."

Huang Changzong quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I was short-sighted. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness."

At this time, you must decisively admit defeat. To put it bluntly, since His Majesty is willing to meet Cao Bang, it proves that what you do is useful.

As for what His Majesty said, it was nothing more than a warning to himself. For the ministers, listening to His Majesty's lectures was also part of their job, so as not to become proud, otherwise the emperor would have no choice but to kill the disobedient ministers.
