From eunuch to emperor

A little eunuch next to him immediately said: "How can this little bastard compare to your father-in-law? You are only inferior to your father-in-law. This..."

Before the little eunuch could finish speaking, Xiang Ji sneered and said, "What's the difference? The cage made of nanmu wood, the hook made of gold, and the cup made of sapphire are all the best. But it can only be in a cage."

"If our family gives it, it will have it. One day if our family doesn't give it, it will starve to death."

"It's the same with us. Everything is given by the emperor. If we fall out of favor one day, we will starve to death in this prosperous place."

Xiang Ji is very sober, knowing that everything about him may be fleeting, and all honors and favors come from the imperial power.

The imperial court was controlled by ghosts, and Li Chengdao, the emperor, looked different. Xiang Ji felt that the wind and rain were precarious, and the situation was precarious.

The little lady listened in and had to laugh apologetically, not daring to say anything.

Outside the door, a middle-aged man hurried in and said: "Elder-in-law, I have some clues."

The little eunuch knew that Xiang Ji was going to say something confidential, so he immediately took the birdcage and left the back office.

"How to say?"

Xiang Ji put his hands behind his back, with a gloomy and serious face.

The man replied: "King Wu'an has been active recently, Huairen seems to be contacting the officials of the court."

The scholar in the restaurant openly threatened to rebel. Although the imperial army arrested and killed him, no one continued to ask who was behind the scenes.

The imperial army and Xini don't want to delve into this matter, Xiang Ji is different.

The garrison mansion is to guard the imperial city for the emperor and wipe out all rebels and rebels. This is the garrison mansion's duty.

"King Wu'an, he has been honest for decades, yet he still has unreasonable thoughts."

Xiang Ji sighed slightly.

Li Chengdao likes and trusts his younger brother very much.

King Wu'an also kept his duty. For decades, he spent a lot of time and did not care about the government.

But now, the battle ahead is tense, and King Wu'an is trying to usurp the throne in the rear.

"Eunuch, do you want to report this matter to the emperor?"

The middle-aged man felt that this was a big deal and it was necessary to tell Li Chengdao.

But Xiang Ji shook his head and said: "There is no conclusive evidence for the matter, so don't rush to report it. The emperor values ​​family affection. King Wu'an is the only remaining brother. If the brothers turn against each other because of us, the world will definitely gossip and talk nonsense, which will damage the holy reputation."

Xiang Ji always thought of Li Chengdao, and didn't want to do anything without conclusive evidence.

Doing so is not good for Li Chengdao.

In fact, there is another point. Xiang Ji has 2 soldiers and horses in his hand. He is confident that he has the ability to control the situation, so he is not in a hurry.

"Keep staring, it's a fox that will always show its tail. Our family doesn't believe that King Wu'an can hide it."

There are only so many people in the Wu'an Palace. If the evidence is obtained, Xiang Ji can lead his troops to confiscate it now.

The middle-aged man bowed: "Your subordinate obeys."

"What about Huairen? This guy has been gathering with court officials at night recently, there must be something wrong."

Xiang Ji said: "Huai Ren is the son of Huai Yi. Huai Yi died a tragic death. The government and the public respect him a lot."

"Don't touch Huairen easily, let him continue to contact, and record all the officials he has contacted. When the time is right, our family will take him away."

Xiang Ji decided not to move Huairen for the time being, the reason was very simple, Huai Yi had just died not long ago and his reputation was still there.

At the same time, Xiang Ji planned to use Huairen as a bait to catch all the traitors in the court.

The middle-aged man bowed: "Father-in-law is wise, this subordinate will do it now."

Xiang Ji nodded slightly, and the middle-aged man withdrew from the defense mansion.

Walking outside, a thin eunuch in his 50s happened to pass by, and the middle-aged man immediately said: "My subordinates pay homage to Eunuch Liu."

This person is Liu Lan, deputy supervisor of the garrison.

The garrison is very important, it is impossible to have only one person in charge, Xiang Ji is the chief supervisor, and Liu Lan is the deputy supervisor.

Liu Lan glanced at the middle-aged man, and said coldly, "Sha Tutou is very busy recently."

This middle-aged man's name is Sha Wuliang, a lay disciple of Baoguo Temple, who acts as a head arrester in the Garrison Mansion.

Sha Wuliang immediately replied: "Subordinates dare not say they are busy, Eunuch Liu is the one who has worked hard."

Liu Lan smiled coldly, and led the little eunuch to the side. Sha Wuliang watched Liu Lan leave respectfully, then turned and walked out.

...

The next afternoon.

Wu'an King Li Zhaoliang rode in a carriage, followed by dozens of horses, slowly left the palace and walked towards the south gate.

After walking through the street and reaching the gate of the city, the forbidden army recognized Li Zhaoliang's car and immediately let it go.

The prison gate saw Liao Houqi and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Are you going out so late?"

Liao Houqi said coldly: "The scorching heat is bothering the heat, the prince went to Bieye to escape the heat."

The prison gate immediately sent the carriage out of the city respectfully.

When the convoy left, the prison gate looked up at the setting sun and complained: "My lord is good, it can escape the heat, but we are going to be sunburned to death."

The guards under his command echoed, "That is, the wealth and honor we were born with, we can't get it in our lifetime."

The prince is born, relying on reincarnation skills, if you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't have it, you can't envy it.

"Unless... there is merit from the dragon."

A forbidden soldier said while looking at Li Zhaoliang's carriage going away.

The prison gate was startled, stepped forward and slapped the guard on the face, cursing: "You are looking for death, you dare to say such a thing."

The guards around were also shocked, they didn't expect this bastard to dare to say such a thing.

The so-called merit of being a dragon is to help a person become emperor, such as assisting Li Zhaoliang to become emperor, and then crack the soil to become a marquis.

What the Forbidden Army said means rebellion.

The imperial army was beaten so hard that they didn't dare to speak back, and retreated resentfully.

When Li Zhaoliang went out, Huairen also set off from the east gate on a horse.

He didn't go through the south gate, but deliberately separated from Li Zhaoliang so that no one would notice.

At the Qi Family Wine Shop, Long Chen and Yu Fuguo changed into casual clothes.

Coming out of the wine shop, the two of them did not ride a horse, but two donkeys.

Horses can only be ridden by people with status. Businessmen like them go out on donkeys honestly.

The donkey walked slowly through the street, many shops were already closed, and when they reached the south gate, the guards stopped the two of them.

"What?"

The guard's tone was irritable, his face was a little red, it was the one who was beaten just now.

Seeing that this person should have just been beaten, Long Chen immediately shook out some big money from his sleeve, respectfully handed it to the imperial guards, and said: "Master Jun, it's convenient for you to go out to visit relatives."

The imperial army originally wanted to bring bad luck to Long Chen, but after receiving the money, their mood improved a lot.

"roll!"

After the imperial guard cursed, Long Chen and Yu Fuguo immediately rode out of the city on donkeys.

When they got outside, Yu Fuguo scolded: "These forbidden soldiers know how to collect money, it's not proper."

But Long Chen said with a smile: "It's good to take money. If you want to take money, you can buy them. If they are upright, we have nowhere to go."

The so-called wall stands a thousand miles, and there is no desire to be rigid.

As long as people have desires, there will be breakthroughs.

Greedy for money, lustful and addicted to alcohol, always have one hobby.

"That's true."

With that said, Yu Fuguo is in a better mood.

The two rode donkeys and walked slowly towards the Wangyou Pavilion.

At this time, the people from the Garrison Mansion were following Li Zhaoliang and Huairen, and they were also walking towards the Wangyou Pavilion.
