Mei Niang, I'm a fake eunuch, you still let me sleep

Chapter 160

In the first year of Xianqing, at the beginning of the year.

Chang'an is a vast expanse of whiteness.

With the sound of Chengtian drum, Zhao Wujiang rode his horse across the snow-covered area and headed straight for Miyagi.

In the first morning court in the first year of Xianqing, he walked across the majestic palace wall, surrounded by ministers who were constantly delighted to greet him.

Liu Rengui followed Zhao Wujiang with one arm. This was the first time he had enjoyed so many respectful gazes, even though he knew that these gazes were not directed at him.

But he is stroking his beard with one arm, and he is also satisfied in his heart. After today's morning court, he will also be rich.

In front of the Dragon Palace.

Zhao Wujiang met Wang Yifang, this middle-aged man seemed to be more than ten years old in just a few months, his beard and hair are now half white, and his face is full of old age.

The departure of Wang Jiajiu and Yang Bing'en probably hit him hard, and many old friends also left in invisible places.

"Brother Wang." Zhao Wujiang saluted.

Wang Yifang patted Zhao Wujiang's shoulder and said with a heartfelt smile, "Well done, I've thanked you for this."

Liu Rengui's eyes widened, and he couldn't hide the surprise and reverence in his eyes. He tremblingly stepped forward, bowed slightly, and lost his arrogance:

"Mr. Wang Wang."

He used the honorific name of Mr. Although he was much older than Wang Yifang, he had met Wang Yifang by Wei Zheng's side in the early years. Hidden in the dust and smoke.

"Lord Liu." Wang Yifang smiled back.

Seeing that Zhao Wujiang was puzzled, he explained with a smile: "I saw it a few years ago."

Zhao Wujiang didn't ask further, he knew that Wang Yifang was an extremely powerful figure in the early years, but these years he covered up his brilliance and walked behind the scenes.

At the same time, he felt two completely different gazes.

He looked sideways and saw Changsun Wuji with a cold face, and on the other side was Xu Jingzong who was full of smiles.

Seeing Zhao Wujiang's eyes, Xu Jingzong immediately went up to meet him.

"My lord Zhao, I am very happy that you have returned home in triumph. When you were fighting in the east, my lord Zhao, I was very concerned about you." Xu Jingzong laughed.

This is a heartfelt laugh.

If Changsun Wuji deals with Zhao Wuji, it will be beneficial to him no matter whether Zhao Wujiang triumphs or dies in battle, because Zhao Wujiang is the bargaining chip in his hands to bring down Changsun Wuji, and he can use this to sue Changsun Wuji Collaboration with the enemy and treason.

He was originally jealous of Zhao Wujiang's power, but now that he is also a member of the third rank, and the emperor and empress are in the same dynasty, he has seen the future trend, Empress Wu must be in power.

Recently, he often disagrees with Zhangsun Wuji's political opinions. Apart from his own reasons, he is also acting for Empress Wu, so that Empress Wu thinks that he is a courtier on her side.

In this way, he can rely on Empress Wu.

Zhao Wujiang, Zhao Wujiang, as everyone knows, during the time you left, your greatest backer, the Emperor, is about to fall, and I already have a new backer. Xu Jingzong sneered in his heart, as long as he doesn't feel the threat of power, Then he can greet anyone with a smile, and all smiles come from the heart.

Although Zhao Wujiang didn't know what Xu Jingzong was thinking, but he knew Xu Jingzong's character, he said indifferently: "I also miss the adults in the court very much."

Not far away, Changsun Wuji saw Xu Jingzong chatting with Zhao Wujiang, and his heart became even colder.

The eunuch in front of the hall called everyone to enter the hall.

The courtiers stepped into the palace, this was the first time Zhao Wujiang saw Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi again after a few months.

Wu Meiniang was independent, sitting quietly behind the bead curtain, but Zhao Wujiang still saw her present appearance with his extraordinary eyesight.

Fengguanxiapei, with picturesque eyebrows and majesty, at this moment when she saw her looking at her, a smile appeared on her exquisite and pretty face, and her smile captivated everyone.

Li Zhi sat on the dragon chair, looking like he had just recovered from a serious illness, his face was pale and bloodless, but there was a smile on his face.

"This time to help Silla, Zhao Aiqing made an extraordinary contribution and defeated the Baekje Fusang army totaling more than [-]. I am very relieved.

This is the luck of Datang! "

Li Zhi's voice was weak, and all the officials showed admiration.

"Zhao Aiqing, what reward do you want?" Li Zhi waved his hand, motioning Zhao Wujiang to speak casually.

The ministers exclaimed, they all wanted what the emperor rewarded, and Zhao Wujiang asked for what he wanted.

Zhao Wujiang narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering the last words Wang Yifang warned him in front of the Dragon Palace.

"Although you don't have a false name, you have already reached Xiangguo, so you don't need to be too prosperous, otherwise it's too late. Moreover, there is an old thing back, try not to get involved in too many fights, let them fight."

He clearly felt at the time that Wang Yifang was obviously a little apprehensive when he said "old stuff".

It can make Wang Yifang jealous, and specially warns, Zhao Wujiang has to pay attention to it.

He said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to ask for any rewards. This time I rushed to help Silla, although more than [-] thieves were wiped out, but the Tang Dynasty also suffered more than [-] casualties. I feel guilty!

I am sorry for them, I have to let them return the shroud in horse leather."

Listen, is this speaking human language?All the courtiers complained in their hearts, this kind of battle loss ratio is simply showing off, others overthrow you with casualties.

Moreover, they learned from the battle report that there was a problem with the food and grass this time, that is to say, under such circumstances, Zhao Wujiang still triumphed.

But they still felt the sorrow of Zhao Wujiang, the sorrow of the [-] casualties, these are the soldiers he led
"Your Majesty!" Liu Rengui stood out of the queue, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his eyes glared sadly.

"Thirty thousand casualties are true, but this is no fault of Mr. Zhao. This time we fought fiercely with the enemy, but we found out that the food and grass behind us are gone!" His eyes were full of anger:

"There are people in the court with a conscience who cut off the food and grass of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and their hearts are to be punished!
Fortunately, Mr. Zhao took precautions and had a clever plan to let the ministers go all the way through the southwestern border defense of Goguryeo, leaving food and grass for the army to retreat. Otherwise, this time it would not be [-] casualties, but the entire army of my Tang soldiers would be wiped out. "

The more Liu Rengui talked, the more excited he became.

The ministers already knew from the battle report that someone in the court cut off the food and grass of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, but no one dared to stand up at this moment, because the matter was too big and the plot was too bad, they dared not mention it.

But Liu Rengui has always been arrogant and rebellious, he is not afraid, he just dares to mention it, now seeing Zhao Wujiang taking the initiative to take the blame, he is even more resentful in his heart and stands up.

After he gave a generous speech, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, and he scolded the guy who cut off the food and grass for the Eastern Expedition in the hall.

"I don't know who this person is, but since this person has done such a nasty thing, I think it must be extremely ugly. Let me see who this person is."

He looked around angrily, and the officials avoided their eyes, and he roared again, completely ignoring that he was in the court:

"Damn it, I am not a son of man, I have forgotten my ancestors, my ancestors and grandchildren have died for eight generations, I will never die a good death, I will be whipped to death, the body will not be buried, and even if I am buried, I will be eaten by wild dogs. The rice of the Tang Dynasty has been treason for a lifetime, how can the country have such a beast?"

He was spitting all over the place, even Zhao Wujiang couldn't help but look sideways at him, after a few months, it was as if he was meeting the old man Liu Rengui for the first time.

Li Zhi called to stop several times, but Liu Rengui just kept on cursing, which made Changsun Wuji's complexion darker and darker, and the officials were silent from the beginning to being filled with righteous indignation, and began to discuss a lot.

"Silent!" The eunuch in front of the palace accepted, waving his whip.

The officials gradually fell silent, Liu Rengui was still there to pick up the dragon and scolded him severely, seeing the eunuch in front of the palace holding the whip, he said sternly again: "Come on, whip me!"

The eunuch in front of the palace was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Liu Rengui had been in prison before, neither decapitated nor punished, and had three meals a day, just because he offended Li Zhi and had no reason to kill him.

Now that he is released, after the battle, except Zhao Wujiang and a few others, they are more and more dissatisfied with anyone, even if he dies, even if his body is soft, his mouth is definitely hard.

I would like to call you the little expert at starting a group. Zhao Wujiang rubbed his eyebrows, and saw Xu Jingzong who was about to move in the distance.

Xu Jingzong came out from the crowd and knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Empress! I think what Master Liu said is very true!"

He slowly took out a memorial.
