"The minting must be carried out as soon as possible. After the mint is set up, all the silver in the internal funds will be taken out and minted." Zhu Youxiao ordered, "This matter must be completed before March. Is that okay?

"

"No problem." Wang Chengen thought for a moment and then agreed.

"Very good. From now on, you will be responsible for the banking and coinage matters, and you won't have to worry about the affairs in the palace."

This order immediately made Wang Chengen's eyes wide open, with expressions of disbelief and joy. This order meant that Wang Chengen also became a courtier. Like Wei Zhongxian of Dongchang and Zhou Quan who managed Huangzhuang, he would all be members of the inner government in the future.

He is a minister, not a slave serving in the palace.

From then on, he could live openly outside the palace, get married, adopt a son, and formally inherit the family. Think of Wei Zhongxian, who was released from the palace by the emperor because of the suppression of the rebellion in Nanzhili, so he married a new wife and lived his own life.

little days.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... you are so kind to your slaves!" Wang Chengen burst into tears and knelt down suddenly, banging his head.

Even though the floor was covered with soft carpets from later generations, he made a loud thud. The loud noise made the two playful concubines look over in surprise. They didn't know why Grand Eunuch Wang, who had been fine just now, was acting like this now.

"Okay, okay, you will have a destination in the future, and it will not be in vain for us as master and servant." Zhu Youxiao was a little sad after being teased by Wang Chengen like this.

"Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen was choked and speechless.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and signaled the other party to get up. After Wang Chengen put away his tears and stood up again, he said solemnly, "Since you will be responsible for bank affairs outside the palace from now on, you will be responsible for the errands inside the palace."

Just come out with your rubber shoes."

"By the way, I remember that there are ten green-clothed eunuchs under your command?" Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked as if he remembered something.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen replied with red eyes. When the emperor asked about this, he became obviously nervous.

The original twenty green-clad eunuchs were divided into three parts according to their different talents and talents. Wei Zhongxian and Liu Ruoyu each had five, while Wang Chengen alone led ten. This favor made the other two quite envious at the time. Because they had received it for a long time

With their military training and education, these twenty people were far more capable than the others. They soon became the right-hand men of the three of them, and they were inseparable from each other.

"Your Majesty doesn't want the slaves to separate out a few of them, right?" Wang Chengen pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty. He wanted to smile, but his expression looked like crying.

However, he was about to cry in his heart. He used these ten people very smoothly. He was able to manage the affairs inside and outside the palace so smoothly, and he could also handle the things assigned by the emperor well. These ten people were indispensable.

"That's for sure, you won't take them all away. That won't work. You can take at most five to take up posts in the bank, and the remaining five will stay in the palace to assist the queen." Zhu Youxiao smiled,

But he said what Wang Chengen didn't want to hear the most.

"Five..." Wang Chengen cried sadly, with a look of reluctance. He only noticed this number that made him heartbroken, and other details could not be noticed.

"Assist me?" Zhang Yan, who was next to her, noticed the small details in the emperor's words. She sat next to him and looked at him with a greeting on her face. She didn't know why this had something to do with her.

The other two concubines also became nervous. It was not difficult to guess that since Wang Chenen had handed over his errands, someone would have to take charge of his errands. Obviously, the emperor meant that these matters would be under the control of the queen.

In this way, the queen became the master of the harem, both in name and in reality. Thinking of this, the two noble concubines couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. It was just that they missed the final step in the draft, and the result was that they were missing each step.

Now they can only look up to the glory of Queen Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan's heart also jumped. When she reached this position, she naturally had thoughts about this position. After becoming a queen, Zhang Yan naturally had the thoughts of a queen, admonishing the emperor, straightening out the harem, and giving birth to the next son.

The emperor, this is what Zhang Yan concluded she should do.

Obviously, if he takes over the rights mentioned by Wang Chengen, he will be able to sort out the harem. With his righteousness and strength, there is no other noble concubine who can compete with him.

For a moment, three pairs of beautiful eyes were focused on Zhu Youxiao's face. For the first time, the warrior's keen sense made him notice the flickering eyes of the three people.

He straightened up slightly and said solemnly, "Yes, many bureaucracies were too chaotic in the past. From now on, an Imperial City bureau will be established, under the control of the queen..." After saying this, he suddenly paused and glanced at the two uneasy concubines.

After hesitation, he was still worried that they would start competing for favors when they had nothing to do, so he added, "The imperial concubine will assist you in managing all the minor matters inside and outside the palace."

"That's great!" Yi Die'er and Fan Zhenzhen were excited in their hearts. At least they didn't fall too far, so they helped as long as they didn't become vases that could only accompany the emperor.

Zhang Yan, on the other hand, didn't think so much. Although she realized that she was a bit talented, there were so many small and big things inside and outside the palace that she couldn't handle if she were left alone. It would be good to have two sisters to help her.

"Wang Cheng'en, you pick five handy eunuchs in green and take them away. The remaining five will be handed over to the queen. From now on, these trivial matters will be decided by the queen." Zhu Youxiao's words once again increased the queen's authority.

, the imperial concubine has to participate in it and assist, but it is the queen who is in charge of everything.

After all, managing the toilet is also responsible for sending and receiving, right?

"It seems that I will have to please my sister more in the future." The emperor's words made even these two girls, who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, start to think carefully.

It's just that they are simple-minded. How can this little idea be hidden from the eyes of Zhu Youxiao and Wang Chengen? Their reaction is exactly what Zhu Youxiao wants. Since palace fights cannot be avoided, then the queen's authority must be completely established. With the queen,

Be respectful so as not to cause more trouble.

As for Wang Chengen, he pretended not to see it. He was not interested in the secrets of the palace at all. When the expressions of the two concubines fell into his eyes, he immediately suppressed them in his heart, without thinking about the meaning behind them.

.

He had grown up with the emperor, and during this period he had been involved in countless palace battles. He was fully aware of the great involvement and dangers involved, and he did not dare to get involved at this time.

"The matter is settled like this. Wang Cheng'en, please take charge of the meeting with the queen and leave the palace quickly to do the work." Zhu Youxiao took one last glance and saw that no one had any objections, so he confirmed.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone responded respectfully and went to hand over the matter. In the end, only Zhu Youxiao's slightly tired figure was left in the palace. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household chores. Even after two lifetimes of experience, Zhu Youxiao also let Zhu Youxiao know.
