Chapter 190: Two Scapegoats



But these are all things that are done in private, and no one will bring them up in public. If they were to be brought up in public, it would be embarrassing, in a word, it would be a huge disgrace.

Now that Zhu Youxiao has done this, it will definitely embarrass these people, especially the civil officials, who will definitely be embarrassed.

On the contrary, the nobles and relatives of the nobles are shameless and probably have no sense of shame, but it depends on what kind of manipulation they are doing.

Zhu Youxiao continued, "At the same time, someone spread the word that Earl Taikang had no choice but to come to the palace for help, and then the Queen asked Wang An. It was Wang An who advised the Queen to tell me what happened so that I could reprimand them. Naturally, no one would go to Earl Taikang again."

After this was actually done, the blame fell on Wang An.

Whether it was the civil servants who interceded for him or the nobles and relatives of the nobles, Wang An's reputation was ruined. At least no one would have anything to do with him and would definitely stay away from him.

The most important thing is that no one would be dissatisfied with Empress Zhang or Zhu Youxiao because of this incident. At most, they would go to Taikang Earl Zhang Guoji.

In fact, this was something Zhu Youxiao had thought of long ago. The establishment of a brand new government office would inevitably involve countless interests, countless people, and would also offend countless people.

People who do this kind of work basically have no good ending, so Zhu Youxiao chose these two people.

Wang An was a natural scapegoat; as for Empress Zhang's father, his role was even greater.

The most important thing is that Wang An and Zhang Guoji are both well-liked by many people, so using them will make it easier for others to accept.

This time, the facts proved that Zhu Youxiao's choice was correct, and Wang An and the other two played a role so quickly.

Chen Hong didn't dare to say anything about his emperor's actions.

This was not the first time the Emperor had done this. Even before, when Wang An was completely clueless, the Emperor had often tried to pin the blame on him. Furthermore, this time, Wang An had gotten involved himself, so he couldn't blame anyone else.

"I'll go right away." Chen Hong agreed and walked out with his body bowed.

After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao began to think about what kind of person to choose to go to the Imperial Household Department.

Zhu Youxiao had no intention of letting either Wang An or Empress Zhang's father Zhang Guoji actually take charge of the Imperial Household Department.

Zhu Youxiao believed in the loyalty of the eunuch Wang An, but he did not believe in Wang An's ability.

Wang An was a man who believed in the Donglin Party, which shows how incompetent he was. It was impossible for such a person to be in charge of the Imperial Household Department. What if he really failed in his management?

This is absolutely not allowed.

As for Empress Zhang's father, Zhang Guoji, the Empress was right about one thing: her father indeed had no talent.

If Wang An and Zhang Guoji were really allowed to do it, the Imperial Household Department would be completely ruined. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao needed a real person who could do things to manage the Imperial Household Department.

Wang An and Zhang Guoji are just the front-line people, but they exist only to offend people, that is, to take the blame.

Once the affairs of the Imperial Household Department were on track, Zhu Youxiao would not allow Wang An and Zhang Guoji to continue staying there.

Therefore, the person who is left to actually take charge of the Imperial Household Department needs to be talented, and he must be trained now so that he can take over the Imperial Household Department naturally in the future.

This person cannot offend too many people at the beginning, so Zhu Youxiao cannot let him escape immediately.

However, Zhu Youxiao has not yet decided who this candidate should be.

Relatively speaking, Zhu Youxiao was still inclined to let the eunuchs take charge of the Imperial Household Department, but who among the eunuchs should do it?

This required careful consideration. This person had to have no connection to Wei Zhongxian or Chen Hong, and also not be too close to Wang An. He had to belong to a separate faction within the palace, preferably a junior eunuch.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao really remembered such a person.

This man was called Fang Zhenghua, a young eunuch in the palace, in his twenties.

Fang Zhenghua was originally under the name of Wei Chao, but Wei Chao is not very favored now, and he has already fled to Liaodong, not to mention the people under his name.

Fang Zhenghua had nothing to do with Wei Zhongxian and Chen Hong, which meant that he would not go along with them.

At the same time, the relationship between Founder Hua and Wang An was not very good.

The key is that Fang Zhenghua has good talents, and Zhu Youxiao can observe him.

Moreover, Fang Zhenghua was very skilled in martial arts, which was rare among eunuchs. You have to know that this wasn't a martial arts novel, and no eunuch was known to possess exceptional martial arts skills.

However, Fang Zhenghua was an exception. He loved martial arts very much and had been practicing martial arts before and after entering the palace, so he had excellent skills.

It was precisely because of this that Fang Zhenghua attracted Zhu Youxiao's attention.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao wanted Fang Zhenghua to be his bodyguard.
