I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 15 Disposing of Jiang Bao
The official system of the imperial palace in the Ming Dynasty was said to be four divisions, eight bureaus, twelve supervisors and one.

To put it bluntly, the four divisions and eight bureaus are the departments responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the emperor and the concubines in the harem. Bureau and so on.

To put it simply, the Four Divisions and Eight Bureaus are the special nanny team for the emperor and the concubines. They have a lot of affairs and their status is not high, but because they serve the emperor, they can be regarded as decent people when they say it.

As for the twelve prisons, it's not that simple.

For example, the Yumajian, who is in charge of the emperor's military amulet, and the Shangbaojian, who is in charge of the emperor's jade seal, are important departments that only the emperor's confidantes can hold, and their status is self-evident.

And Jiang Bao is the head of the Yuma Supervisor. Although he is only a fourth-rank official according to the official title of the outer court, no one will really regard him as a fourth-rank official. A word to Director Jiang, everyone Jiang.

"Concubine Wu, our family stopped talking today. We won't see the 8 taels of silver within a day. Our family will send you to Dongchang personally."

Anyway, the corruption of Mo Huang's property has been exposed, Jiang Bao is now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, said viciously.

It was said that it was Concubine Wu, but she was actually a woman in her early thirties. Seeing Jiang Bao's behavior, his face changed drastically.

"Why did Eunuch Jiang make such a statement? Could it be... Does the emperor know about it?"

Jiang Bao wanted to get the emperor's forgiveness even in his dreams, so he hummed coldly:

"Otherwise, where did you get the bag on our head?"

Seeing Jiang Bao's admission, Concubine Wu's face turned ashen, and she slumped on the soft stool, sobbing:
"It's all because of that old bitch Wang Yue. If it wasn't for her, why would I be here?"

Jiang Bao has now thrown away all the respect and etiquette, and sarcastically said:
"Wang Taifei doesn't need to play with our family here. I'm afraid no one knows better than Wang Taifei who gets the most money."

Princess Wang's face trembled when she heard the words, thinking that she had finally escaped Zhu Di's burial, and before enjoying the blessing, she was on the point of beheading again, pointing at Jiang Bao and said angrily:
"What are you? I am the late emperor's concubine. Regardless of seniority, the emperor has to honor me. I have made a mistake. If I admit my mistake, you are here to threaten me again and again. You still have the late emperor in your heart, but you still have to give up. Your Majesty?"

Jiang Baocai wasn't in the mood to see Concubine Wu making trouble here, so he turned around and left, saying leisurely:
"Our family's words have been brought, how to do it, Concubine Wu can do it for herself."

She smashed all the silver teacups on the table to the ground, and Concubine Wu became furious:
"Get out, get out of here for me, you eunuch."

In the imperial study.

Originally, Jiang Bao's position had been replaced by Wang Fu, the head of the printing and ribbon supervisor, looking at the corners of the imperial study. Wang Fu never dreamed that one day he would be able to serve the emperor.

For the eunuchs in the palace, the ranking of seniority is extremely important. If something happened to Jiang Bao, Wang Fu would not be able to hold this position even if he waited another ten years.

It was not easy to get, and Wang Fu cherished it very much. He dared not take his eyes off Li Tian for a moment, for fear of making a mistake.

Li Tian, ​​who was meditating and practicing the Nine Forms of Guyang, noticed that Wang Fu had been staring at him, opened his eyes and said:

"Wang Fu, what are you doing staring at me?"

Wang Fu bowed his head when he heard the words:

"Your Majesty's majestic dragon face, the old slave admires him very much, and please forgive me."

Li Tian always felt that Jiang Bao's flattery was greasy enough, but he didn't expect this Wang Fu to be even worse. He pursed his lips and said casually:
"Okay, okay, let me ask you, what do you think of Jiang Bao?"

Seeing the emperor asking about Jiang Bao, Wang Fu's heart was full of alarm bells. Is the emperor doubting his relationship with Jiang Bao, or testing his opinion of Jiang Bao?
Thoughts were going back and forth, Wang Fu felt that the emperor probably had better think about Jiang Bao, and respectfully said:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this old slave thinks that Eunuch Jiang is resourceful, open-minded and magnanimous. Although he has a small fault, he is loyal. Regarding the imperial property, this old slave thinks that Eunuch Jiang must have been deceived by a traitor."

Jiang Bao, who just happened to walk outside the imperial study, heard Wang Fu's evaluation of him verbatim, and was very moved. It seemed that he had not loved them in vain in the past.

Thinking about it, Jiang Bao smoothly pushed open the door of the imperial study.

While talking, Wang Fu looked at the emperor's face, saw the emperor frowned, and changed the topic sharply:

"However, Your Majesty, the fact that Eunuch Jiang can be deceived by traitors shows that Eunuch Jiang himself is full of greed, otherwise how could he be?"

Hearing this, Jiang Bao's heart, which was still touched just now, suddenly turned cold, and he said leisurely:
"Old slave, see Your Majesty."

Hearing the familiar voice, Wang Fu's face froze, the conversation stopped abruptly, he turned around stiffly, and squeezed out a smile:
"Eunuch Jiang."

Looking at the embarrassed Wang Fu, Jiang Bao nodded expressionlessly, and bowed to Li Tiandao:
"Your Majesty, this old slave is here to accept the crime."

Li Tian glanced at Wang Fu, who was too embarrassed to be more embarrassed, smiled, looked at Jiang Bao and said:
"How are things going?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Concubine Wu threw the old slave out of Ningfu Palace, and Concubine Wang knew that she had committed a heinous crime, and promised that the old slave would return all the 5 taels of silver to the internal treasury within two days, and wait for His Majesty to punish him." Hitting a stack of bank notes, he knelt down and said:
"This is the 3 taels that the old slave greedy for ink, please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

Jiang Bao was now wearing a crime, and he didn't dare to go forward. Wang Fu took the bank note from Jiang Bao's hand, and presented it to Li Tianyu respectfully.

Counting the thick stack of bank notes, Li Tiantian didn't type them out.

This shit is all my money.

Seeing the obvious change in the emperor's face, Jiang Bao regretted endlessly, and Wang Fu secretly rejoiced. After counting the bank notes one by one, Li Tian raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice:
"Jiang Bao, didn't you tell me that you only paid 3 taels, so why are there 6 taels of silver notes?"

Jiang Bao knocked his head three times with a pleading look on his face.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the remaining 3 taels are the old slave's savings for the past two years. The old slave knows that he has failed His Majesty and committed a serious crime, but the old slave begs His Majesty to remember the past affection and allow the old slave to be a guide by the emperor's side." The boy who opened the way, the old slave will definitely change his mind and start a new life."

With 3 taels in vain, Li Tian felt a little better, but Li Tian didn't intend to forgive Jiang Bao just like that, he pondered for a moment and said:

"You can't do it, the Chief Supervisor of the Yuma Supervisor. There is the Qing Dao Supervisor to lead the horse to clear the way, and it is not your turn, but I am not the one who will kill them all. You can go to Dongchang to drive the horse and drive the horse for Huang Yan."

Hearing that the emperor asked him to go to Dongchang, Jiang Bao's gloomy old eyes lit up, and His Majesty really still had some affection.

He climbed up all the way in the palace, and he didn't know how many people stepped on him. If he really became a servant who led the horse to clear the way, he didn't know how many people would take advantage of him.

"Old slave, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

Jiang Bao kowtowed and said sincerely.
