Shen Xihe said he would investigate, and he really did it, with lightning speed, pointing his sword at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and directly found a young eunuch. This young eunuch was a disciple promoted by Liu Sanzhi. Shen Xihe handed the man to Liu Sanzhi, and let him deal with him personally.
There are two eunuch supervisors in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who serve in the palace as the third-rank officials and are your majesty's confidants. One is Liu Sanzhi and the other is in Changqiu Court. Changqiu Court was established by the late emperor. It is the place in the palace where palace personnel are interrogated, and the torture they inflict is more terrifying than that of prison.
There were six junior eunuchs, each in charge of a harem, at the empress's disposal. After Emperor Youning ascended the throne, he never established a harem, and for more than 20 years, Concubine Rong was in charge of the palace, but the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs was under the control of His Majesty.
This is also the reason why Emperor Youning was not in a hurry even though Shen Xihe got the power of the palace. The eunuchs were interspersed between the former dynasty and the harem, and the internal situation was extremely complicated. Shen Xihe had never acted rashly. Today, she did not want to weigh the pros and cons, she just wanted to vent her anger.
Although she had not yet touched the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she had already been keeping an eye on them, had a lot of evidence, and acted swiftly, leaving no room for reversal.
Liu Sanzhi had no choice but to admit defeat and had the man beaten with a hundred sticks. Shen Xihe wanted to promote Zhu Sheng to be the new junior supervisor, and Liu Sanzhi did not dare to raise any objection.
"I would like to thank Your Highness for your support. I will do my utmost to serve you wholeheartedly and have no second thoughts!" Zhu Sheng came and kowtowed to Shen Xihe.
Three years ago, he and another young eunuch accompanied Huang Zhongsi, who was killed by Shen Xihe, to pick her up in the capital. In the situation that day, he was considered alert. In the past three years, the timid but clever young eunuch has grown a lot. Shen Xihe has also been secretly taking care of him. Wearing the fourth-rank eunuch uniform, he has the air of an official, and there is no longer the cautiousness of the past in his eyes.
It's not that Shen Xihe didn't have anyone to promote her, and the Shen family also had people in the palace, but she still chose Zhu Sheng: "I'm glad you dare to take it."
She moved Liu Sanzhi's people, which meant she was clearly provoking a life-and-death struggle with the Ministry of Eunuchs. It was also her second confrontation with His Majesty. At this time, if Zhu Sheng took the opportunity given to him by Shen Xihe, he would be hostile to the entire Ministry of Eunuchs.
Even those who are oppressed and want to change do not dare to openly side with him.
"Your servant is honored to be my loyal and loyal subject." Zhu Sheng has never been a man without ambition. He knows that as long as he can accompany Shen Xihe through this battle and as long as Shen Xihe becomes the final winner, he will be the next Liu Sanzhi.
Regardless of success or failure, in this life, you must always give your all for what you are committed to.
Shen Xihe wanted to say a few more words to him, but he caught a glimpse of Xiao Huayong from the corner of his eye, so he sent him away: "Go."
Zhu Sheng responded respectfully before leaving. As soon as he left, Xiao Huayong lifted the bead curtain and walked to Shen Xihe's side.
Shen Xihe didn't look at him, ignored him, and went straight to open the letter handed to him by the Sixth Bureau of the Harem.
Xiao Huayong walked around twice, feeling a bit overwhelmed, before he stood beside her: "Yo yo... Can we not be awkward?"
His tone was low and pleading. The Crown Prince had never been arrogant in front of the Crown Princess and was always very humble.
The fingertips holding the letter suddenly tightened. Shen Xi couldn't read a single word, but he didn't want to pay attention to him either.
