Chapter 65: Chen Ju, the Eunuch of Ceremonies!
Hu Zhenghe and his group were stunned when they heard this. They never expected that Xiao Yan would really drive them away.
However, Hu Zhenghe knew that he could not leave the court. If he really left the court, Xiao Yan would completely destroy his power, and this would fulfill Xiao Yan's wish.
"Your Highness, calm down. We are not saying that Your Highness is really arbitrary."
"Instead, everything must be discussed with me. Isn't it against the rules that you don't want to be appointed by the Ministry of Personnel?"
"After all, a Shangshu is an important position that goes straight to the heaven, not to the officials below, right?"
Seeing Hu Zhenghe surrender, Xiao Yan also laughed.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is right. This should indeed be sent to the Ministry of Personnel for approval."
"Then I wonder if you still have any doubts about Wan Tongfu's appointment as Minister of Workers?"
Everyone knew that Xiao Yan was serious and had no choice but to compromise, but the matter was not over yet.
"I have no doubts!"
After receiving the replies from the officials, Xiao Yan smiled. He knew very well what they were thinking. They were all people who said one thing and thought another and would never accomplish anything great.
"Okay, in that case, Wan Tongfu will obey your orders!"
Xiao Yan returned to the throne and immediately accepted his fate.
"I am here!"
"From today on, Wan Tongfu is appointed as the Minister of Works, and the official documents of the Ministry of Personnel will be delivered to Master Wan today!"
Wan Tongfu knelt down immediately.
"I obey your order. Thank you, Your Highness!"
Hu Zhenghe's people felt constipated when they saw this, and everyone had an expression .
Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't care about what these people thought.
Everyone who is not from Hu Zhenghe's faction feels proud.
Before Xiao Yan became regent, Hu Zhenghe's family was the only powerful one. They were suppressed and excluded everywhere and had no say in the court.
But now they are being suppressed by Xiao Yan to the point of suffocation. Such a contrast naturally makes them feel much more comfortable.
"If there's nothing else, let's leave the court. The Ministry of Personnel should hurry up and deliver the documents today!"
After saying this, Xiao Yan turned and left.
After Xiao Yan left, Hu Zhenghe's face suddenly turned cold.
He walked to Wan Tongfu and said, "Congratulations, Lord Wan. I told you before not to smash your own foot. Now it seems that not only did you not smash your foot, you even raised your foot higher!"
Now that Wan Tongfu has Xiao Yan as his backer, he will naturally not be afraid of Hu Zhenghe's threat.
"Master Hu, you are joking. Without Master Hu's support, it would be difficult for me to take this position!"
"You think so?"
If Hu Zhenghe had not sent people to the disaster area to incite the victims, he might not have been able to get this position just for the sake of water conservancy construction.
However, after inciting the victims, he was not only injured, but his image was also deeply imprinted in Xiao Yan's heart.
Looking at it this way, the injury he suffered was a great gain. Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, and it was obvious that Wan Tongfu made the right bet.
"What do you mean? I don't understand you, humph!"
Wan Tongfu shook his head and said, "Your Excellency knows whether you understand or not. I have something else to do today. Bye!"
Wan Tongfu turned around and left directly. He didn't care whether his status was higher than Hu Zhenghe's. Anyway, he didn't take him seriously.
Hu Zhenghe suffered a lot of humiliation today. Not only was he almost driven out of the court by Xiao Yan, but he was also bullied by Wan Tongfu.
"Lord Wan, this position is not that easy to sit in. I hope you can warm up your butt!"
Hu Zhenghe said to Wan Tongfu's back.
Wan Tongfu stopped walking when he heard this, then turned to Hu Zhenghe and said, "Master Hu, those who do evil will eventually die!"
After saying this, he left without looking back.
This made Hu Zhenghe so angry that his teeth itched, but he knew he couldn't do anything about it now.
"Okay, you are all very brave. Come, follow me to meet His Majesty. I will impeach them today!"
Upon hearing this, everyone who was not from Hu Zhenghe's faction felt a tightness in their hearts.
Obviously this was aimed at Xiao Yan.
Silijian.
Hu Zhenghe's words soon reached Xiao Yan's ears.
"Impeach me? Just let them do what they want. Do they really think I care?"
"They are just a little bit short of taking over my position as regent."
Xiao Yan didn't take the impeachment against him seriously at all. They had no reason to take away his position as regent now.
Autocratic? That's not enough reason!
"Is your seal here?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan didn't take Hu Zhenghe's impeachment against him to heart at all. Now he wanted to meet the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department.
After all, so many things happened in the palace, and he had no information at all. He couldn't even find out who did it.
Only by taking control of the Imperial Household Department will we have the opportunity to find out everything.
After all, the Jinyiwei’s methods cannot be used in the palace and have great limitations.
"Your Highness, our seal is always here!"
The young eunuch didn't dare to hide it, after all, they knew what the prince's current situation was.
The eunuch who wrote the letter before lost his life because he expressed his loyalty incorrectly .
"Okay, take me there!"
Little eunuch, lead the way quickly!
"This old servant, Chen Ju, greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Only then did Xiao Yan look at this man. Because of his age, his face looked a little old.
However, it is not difficult to see from his eyes and eyebrows that this man has a majestic look. Presumably, the Imperial Household Department is managed quite well in his hands.
"Eunuch Chen, there is no need to be so polite."
"I came here today to ask Eunuch Chen to help me solve my doubts!"
After saying this, Xiao Yan sat down on the main seat.
"I wonder what doubts Your Highness has. If I can help Your Highness solve them, it would be my great honor!"
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Eunuch Chen was a favorite of our father before. Now that he is in charge of the Imperial Household Department, he must be very familiar with the affairs of the palace, right?"
Chen Ju's expression did not change at all when he heard this. He said calmly, "Yes, I do know something about the affairs in the palace."
"I wonder what your Highness wants to know? If I knew, I would not dare to hide it."
Xiao Yan did not expect that Chen Ju was so easy to talk to, and he became confused. Could it be that this person was not the seal holder?
"Eunuch Chen also knows that the emperor has been poisoned many times by bad people, but there is no evidence as to who did it."
"Today I want to ask Eunuch Chen if he knows who is behind this?"
Chen Ju seemed to have known that Xiao Yan would ask this question, and turned around to get a stack of documents.
"Your Highness, this is the daily operation of His Majesty's medicine. These people have been killed by you, but you also understand that you can't get anything out of these people."
"Your Highness must know who did it, and I know it too, but we have no evidence. Even if we know, what can we do?"
At this time, Xiao Yan glanced at Chen Ju. He didn't expect that this man really dared to say that. No wonder the old emperor wanted him to subdue him.
