They know very well what the consequences would be if they offended the queen.

After a long time, Queen Zhang chuckled gently, slowly put down the teacup in her hand, and said softly: "My father is not a material for being an official. Although he claims to be an official, that's all he thinks."

"You are the ones who are so big in this office, so thank you for your hard work." As he said that, Empress Zhang turned to the palace servant next to him and said, "Give some rewards."

So the palace servant next to him hurriedly walked to Fang Zhenghua with a tray.

"I thank the Queen for the reward." Fang Zhenghua quickly took the tray over and then lay respectfully on the ground to salute.

Queen Zhang nodded with a smile and said, "In the Office of the Internal Affairs, you have to rely on you people. You should take care of my father and don't make any major mistakes. You should be careful when doing things. After all, this is the Royal Office of the Internal Affairs, and it is not good for Your Majesty if something happens."

Although he gave a reward, these words from the Empress still made Fang Zhenghua complain in his heart.

The Queen’s meaning is already very obvious. If you let the father-in-law take the blame, I won’t say anything about this matter; but you have to remember one thing, you can’t let the father-in-law take the blame too much.

To put it bluntly, you can't cheat my father too hard; if you do it too much, don't blame me for being ruthless.

The rest is that you have to do well and don’t push everything to the head of the father-in-law; if that’s true, what are you slaves doing?

"Don't worry, Empress, I know how to do it." Fang Zhenghua said quickly.

"Okay, then you go." Queen Zhang waved her hand and said with a smile.

After Fang Zhenghua walked out, Queen Zhang sighed softly and said to Wang An beside him: "I rely on Eunuch Wang. You should keep an eye on the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Don't let the father-in-law suffer a big loss."

"Yes, Empress, I understand." Wang An quickly bowed and said.

"There are all kinds of people in this palace and everything. I, a woman who has just entered the palace, rely on you for many things. So you should understand how to do it, so I won't say much." Queen Zhang said with a smile: "Of course I have to trust you when you send you to me."

"I am grateful for the kindness of the Queen." Wang An hurriedly bowed and said.

This is not a lie. He is indeed very grateful to Queen Zhang. If it weren't for Queen Zhang, his life in the palace would not be so easy.

Now everyone knows that he is the Queen's confidant. Now that the Queen's status is so high, his status will naturally rise.

Queen Zhang waved her hand and turned her head and asked, "That Hu Fei is the Duke of England?"

Wang An nodded quickly and said, "It's indeed the Duke of England."

"Let the Duke of England enter the palace tomorrow!" Queen Zhang stood up and said lightly: "You have not been able to come out for a long time. Go back, the Ministry of Internal Affairs wants you to keep an eye on it."

"I understand." Wang An agreed and bowed and said, "I have surrendered."

By the lake, in the pavilion.

Zhu Youxiao lay on the rocking chair, blowing the breeze, and enjoying his leisure time.

Hearing the sound of footsteps from far to near, Zhu Youxiao did not raise his eyelids. At this time, only Chen Hong dared to come over.

"Emperor, the Empress asked Fang Zhenghua to go back. But the Empress asked the Duke of England to enter the palace." After Chen Hong said this, he stepped aside, and he dared not say more.

He knew that although he was trusted by the emperor, he could not compare with the empress. If there was any conflict between the empress and the emperor because of him, the ministers would have to tear him down.

So Chen Hong retreated to the side and quietly waited for his prince to speak.

Now everyone in the palace knows that His Majesty and the Queen have a good relationship. Now the Queen has no children yet. When she waits for the Queen to give birth to a son, her status will be different immediately.

The Empress and the Legitimate Prince are invincible in this harem. Because everyone knows that the Empress’s son will one day become the crown prince and the emperor.

If you offend the queen at this time, what will happen to you in the future?

By then, when the new emperor ascends the throne, you will have nothing left. How do you want to deal with the words of the empress dowager?

Therefore, the people in the palace were very cautious, and no one dared to offend Empress Zhang. At this time, no one was as powerful as Wei Zhongxian.

Zhu Youxiao shook the rocking chair gently, but still didn't open his eyes, just said with a joking voice: "My queen is sensible, so those people can beat them, so as not to know the importance of it."

"I asked my father-in-law to go there, and it's okay that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is under his jurisdiction, but he can't take responsibility for everything. I still want to let him work for more years! According to their actions, the father-in-law may not be able to stay for long. Even if the queen doesn't hit them, I will still hit them. Now the queen is still hitting me."

Zhu Youxiao arranged for those people to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which made them do things, and they had to take responsibility for doing things.

Zhang Guoji, the father-in-law, took the blame for himself, and did not let them take any blame on Zhang Guoji.

They didn't take any responsibility themselves, and they asked Zhang Guoji to take responsibility, which was something Zhu Youxiao didn't want to see.

If Zhang Guoji is taken down now, Zhu Youxiao will not be able to find a suitable successor.

"The queen is doing a good job. Open the inner warehouse and let the queen pick something and tell the queen to pick up the one she likes." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and signaled Chen Hong to retreat.

Chen Hong didn't dare to say a word and stepped back.

He discovered something that everyone underestimated the emperor's favor for the empress.

Even if the Empress did such a thing, the Emperor not only did not blame him, but also had to give him a reward. This time the reward was very heavy. He directly opened the inner treasury and asked the Empress to choose, and he also specifically told the Empress to choose whatever you like.

This kind of favor is simply the best in the six palaces.

Well, the emperor seems to have only two other women.

Chen Hong did not dare to neglect, so he hurried to Queen Zhang to pass the imperial edict.

After Chen Hong came back, he received another news: the post from Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Sun Chengzong was handed in, wanting to see the emperor.

So Chen Hong hurriedly sent the news to the emperor.

"Is Sun Chengzong here?" Zhu Youxiao hesitated a little.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn’t know what Sun Chengzong was going to do.

Since Sun Chengzong took office, he seems to have not done anything, but he seems to have done nothing.

At least Sun Chengzong quickly calmed down the Ministry of War and allowed the Ministry of War to operate safely.

Although he did nothing, he actually did his skills in the dark, which was a skill. However, Zhu Youxiao always felt that Sun Chengzong was more capable than to be successful, but he was not enterprising enough.

However, there must be such a minister above the court. If it were all Xu Guangqi and Shen Tingyun, it would be troublesome.

Having a stable person to make decisions can avoid many things, which is also the place where Zhu Youxiao respects his grandson Chengzong.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Let Sun Chengzong come in."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong agreed and quickly turned around to summon Sun Chengzong.

It didn't take long before Zhu Youxiao heard someone coming.

I saw Sun Chengzong kneeling directly on the ground and said, "My minister, Sun Chengzong, please see Your Majesty."

This scared Zhu Youxiao. You must know that Sun Chengzong is his teacher and now he is a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. He saw that he had no need to give such a gift.

Today he gave such a big gift again, it's a problem!

Zhu Youxiao quickly stood up from the chair, walked over and helped Sun Chengzong up, comforted him with a gentle voice: "Sir, what are you doing? But what is wrong with me? Just say it bluntly."

When Sun Chengzong heard that Zhu Youxiao called him a gentleman, he felt a little dazed, but he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have something to do and I want to ask Your Majesty for advice."

"Sir, don't say that. I'm asking you for advice. What do you mean by sir? But it's okay to say it." Zhu Youxiao said gently: "Come on, sir, sit down and say."
