Chapter 187 Talking about ideals with Wang An
Whether it is for Wei Zhongxian or Chen Hong, it is not a good thing for Wang An to re-enter the world this time.
In their hearts, Wang An has been labeled as finished. Now Wang An is not finished, but it will not be too long before the end, 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 over at such a time?
This makes people a little guessful.
Regarding the emperor's thoughts, Chen Hong really didn't understand in his heart. In his opinion, shouldn't this time be his chance?
Needless to say, Wei Zhongxian's status is above himself; Although Wang An is also above him, he is already precarious. This time, the best candidate should be himself, how did he become Wang An?
Although Chen Hong didn't understand it in his heart, and he also had some grievances, he still didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't even dare to ask.
Now that Zhu Youxiao asked him to find Wang An, Chen Hong didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly turned around and ran out.
When Chen Hong arrived in Wang An's courtyard, Wang An was planting peonies.
"The prince is so interested, the emperor summoned you." Chen Hongpi shook off the dust in his hand without smiling.
The emperor summoned me?
Wang An's hand was frozen in mid-air for a moment. Regarding Zhu Youxiao's summons, Wang An himself was also very surprised.
In fact, Wang An also knows his own situation, and he is not liked by His Majesty. However, he was not too excited, it was normal for a son of heaven to be a courtier, not to mention that His Majesty had been dealing with the Donglin Party.
Wang An was quite anxious about His Majesty's handling of the Donglin Party, because he felt that His Majesty was cleaning up the loyal ministers of the court.
As for why His Majesty did it? Who is it influenced by?
Apart from Wei Zhongxian and Chen Hong, who else could there be?
Looking at Chen Hong with a smile on his face in front of him, Wang An didn't give him any good looks.
In Wang An's opinion, this time he was afraid that he would be more than lucky, so he simply had the courage to tell His Majesty what he thought after seeing His Majesty, which could be regarded as his loyalty.
I can't take care of other things, I'm afraid I'm going to serve the first emperor.
"Wait a minute." Wang An washed all the dust with clean water, and brushed off the yellow mud at the corners of his clothes, before following Chen Hong to the Qianqing Palace.
The slanting sun shines on the golden glazed tile roof, giving off a dazzling brilliance.
"It's been a long time since I've been here with the emperor." Wang An looked at the plaque hanging at the gate, and his heart was in a trance.
After entering the hall, looking at Zhu Youxiao from afar, Wang An knelt directly on the ground and said respectfully: "The old slave sees the emperor." ”
"Alright, get up!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand expressionlessly.
Wang An stood up from the ground, he just wanted to speak but was interrupted by Zhu Youxiao.
I saw Zhu Youxiao beckoning to Wang An and asking him to come closer.
This made Wang An's words like a fish in his throat, and he was directly stuck.
When Wang An walked in front of him, Zhu Youxiao looked him up and down.
Zhu Youxiao found that Wang An looked pretty good, compared to Wei Zhongxian and Chen Hong, he looked more like a scholar, and he was a little more elegant.
Obviously, this is the reason why Wang An and the Donglin Party are close, because he is a scholar.
It's just that it's hard to say whether he was accepted by the Donglin Party or not.
"Are your bones okay?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang An and asked gently.
"Emperor, the old slave's body is fine." Wang An hurriedly bowed down and said.
"That's fine, I have something I want you to do. Originally, I thought that your body would not be able to hold up, but now you can do it. Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.
Wang An was slightly stunned, he didn't expect His Majesty to have something for him to do.
But he wasn't too excited, and there were good things and bad things in this matter. If it's a good thing, naturally there's nothing to say; But if it's a bad thing, then the result is not necessarily better than killing him directly.
Zhu Youxiao didn't look at Wang An's face, but turned to Chen Hong and said, "Show him the things." ”
"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong agreed, walked to the side, took a booklet and handed it to Wang An's hand, then bowed down and stood on the side.
"Let's see." Zhu Youxiao said.
After Wang An took the booklet, he quickly glanced at it.
This was a booklet for the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and after he glanced at the contents, he knew how important this Ministry of Internal Affairs was.
This internal affairs office is simply the emperor's general manager, with very great power, and can connect the outside of the palace and the palace at the same time, even stronger than the East Factory.
Wang An didn't know why His Majesty showed him this booklet, he thought of one in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.
"I am going to hand over the Ministry of Internal Affairs to you, and besides you, there is also the Governor, and there is another minister who has not yet been determined. It's just that the other minister is the watchman. I haven't decided on the name of the official position yet, are you willing to do it? Zhu Youxiao asked in a calm tone.
This is a good opportunity for Wang An to get him out of the predicament in front of him.
If he didn't agree, he would definitely be disposed of, so he didn't have any other choice.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao did not give Wang An any other choice, he promised that there was no second way to go.
Wang An was not ready to refuse, and now everyone knows what his status is.
His Majesty wants to give himself a chance this time, and he must seize this opportunity. So Wang An directly chose to agree, knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "The old slave is willing to do his best for the emperor." ”
"That's fine." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "The celebrant will leave you a position for the pen, ranking above Wei Zhongxian, and you can give up the position of the palm print." Take care of the Internal Affairs Office well, and if something goes wrong, don't blame me for not giving face to the queen. ”
Wang Anxin moved, is the queen's face?
No wonder he was able to come out again this time, it turned out that the queen interceded for him.
At this moment, Wang An's heart suddenly felt grateful to the queen, and at the same time, he also thought that the queen was a virtuous queen.
What's more critical is that Wang An saw one thing, that is, the queen can advise His Majesty.
"Alright, there you go." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.
"The old slave is gone." Wang An agreed, bowed and walked outside.
However, he did not return to his residence, but headed towards Kunning Palace.
Wang An is going to thank him, and if he doesn't go, he can't go.
Looking at the back of Wang An leaving, Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Chen Hong, and said expressionlessly: "You can take Wang An's position." ”
Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Hong was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao on the ground, "Slave and maid thank the emperor!" ”
Chen Hong was really happy, and the little depression in his heart just now was swept away.
The ranking of eunuchs in the palace is very strict, and the highest authority is the celebrant eunuch, known as the inner court.
The eunuchs who can enter the celebrant are inherently superior, which is incomparable to others.
Among the celebrants, the hierarchy of eunuchs is also very obvious.
The first in line is the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the others, and the others are all eunuchs with a pen. It's just that there is also a ranking among the eunuchs.
The person in second place was actually Wei Zhongxian, who was ordered to supervise Dongchang. It's just that now there is one more person, that is Wang An, the commander of the Internal Affairs Office, and directly stepped in front of the East Factory.
In Chen Hong's opinion, this time, the most unhappy thing should be Wei Zhongxian, who was demoted by one level for no reason.
Originally, Wei Zhongxian was second only to the existence of the palm seal eunuch, and he was also ranked behind Wei Zhongxian.
But this time, the emperor not only let himself jump to the position of the first eunuch with the palm seal, but also made Wang An the second, and Wei Zhongxian was directly demoted from the second to the third, which was simply a demotion for no reason.
However, for Wei Zhongxian's fate, Chen Hong's heart was full of schadenfreude.
Didn't Zhu Youxiao know the consequences of doing so?
Of course he knew, but he still had to do it.
The eunuchs in the palace are also like courtiers, and they pay attention to a balance. Originally, it wasn't very balanced, but now it's balanced.
If Wang An is cleaned up, then it will be the struggle between Wei Zhongxian and Chen Hong, which is not good. And now it's three people, then there will be a balance.
What's more, Zhu Youxiao turned Wang An into the queen's person, which is actually for the checks and balances in the palace, and also to help his wife stabilize the queen's position faster.
In addition, it is also very important to let your wife have more say in the internal affairs department.
After arranging things properly, Zhu You said to Chen Hong: "Okay, get up, don't kneel, go to the queen." ”
"Yes."
After saying this, Chen Hong stood up directly and walked towards the queen.
When Zhu Youxiao came to Kunning Palace, Empress Zhang was already waiting for him here.
After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Empress Zhang rushed directly to Zhu Youxiao's face like a milk swallow throwing herself into the forest, her face was slightly red, she stared at Zhu Youxiao with big eyes, and she looked a little out of breath.
This made Zhu Youxiao's appetite move. Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Youxiao stepped forward directly, reached out and took Queen Zhang into his arms, and kissed her slightly open mouth.
Stop at nothing.
Didn't take the people around him into account at all.
The people around them also disappeared in an instant, and everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound.
After a while, Zhu Youxiao let go of Empress Zhang.
At this time, Empress Zhang's face was already crimson, and she didn't dare to raise her head, so she fell directly into Zhu Youxiao's arms.
Zhu Youxiao suddenly smiled and hugged her into the palace.
After entering the palace, Empress Zhang was able to let go and got out of Zhu Youxiao's arms.
"I thought I was going to carry the orb straight in." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"Your Majesty!"
Empress Zhang screamed coquettishly, then sat down beside Zhu Youxiao with a pout, and said, "Wang An came over just now, looking for a concubine to thank her." Your Majesty is so good to the concubine! ”
Although Empress Zhang is not very clear about the things in the palace, there are people around her.
Those who were transferred to Empress Zhang's side to serve naturally knew what was going on, and had already told her everything about Wang An.
Empress Zhang also comprehended Zhu Youxiao's painstaking efforts in an instant.
"It's good to know my hard work, and live a good life with me. Now give me a prince first. With that, Zhu Youxiao directly picked up the queen and walked towards the couch inside.
Along the way, there was Zhu Youxiao's laughter and Empress Zhang's coquettishness.
