From eunuch to emperor

Xiaoqin lingered in Linhu City for a few days, and after enjoying enough, she took the exercises and planned to go back.

Long Chen asked Xiaoqin if he wanted to stay for a few more days, Xiaoqin shook his head and said: "No, it's enough, I will die in a few more days."

Long Chen felt that the word "several days" had a profound meaning.

"Okay, I won't see you off, be careful on the road."

Long Chen took out a bag of gold coins, Xiaoqin immediately took it away.

"You are still generous, the lady is too stingy, this time the travel expenses are only two gold coins."

Xiaoqin accepted the money happily. Like Ji Xianxian, she was a money addict.

Long Chen smiled and said: "You are not willing to let you follow me."

Xiaoqin said: "I've been following my wife, I'm used to it."

Long Chen touched Xiaoqin's head and said, "Be careful on the road."

Xiaoqin nodded and walked to the south alone.

Long Chen watched Xiaoqin leave before boarding the boat and returning to Linhu City.

...

Qingren County.

A little girl entered Li Chengdao's yard, and this little girl was Li Chengdao's Xiaoyu'er who specially contacted the Eastern Zhou capital.

It was quiet in the courtyard, and there were no maids or eunuchs to wait on.

After Zhong Gui's death, Li Chengdao dismissed everyone, and he lived in it alone.

When he got outside the room, Xiao Yu'er reported, "Your Majesty, there is news from the capital Wang Wei."

The door opened by itself, Xiao Yu'er walked in, and Li Chengdao was practicing.

"How to say?"

Li Chengdao received his work, got up and asked.

Xiao Yu'er replied: "Wang Wei said that the Empress asked him to go to Linhu City, and he had set off three days ago."

Li Chengdao felt strange, why did he call Wang Wei over at this time?

"Did you say why the Empress asked him to come here at this time?"

Xiao Yu'er presented the secret letter, but she didn't read the contents of the secret letter, she only knew the general idea.

Li Chengdao opened the secret letter, and after reading it, his face showed suspicion.

"It's strange, let Wang Wei go to the front line at this time."

Li Chengdao still felt strange.

Xiao Yu'er said: "I heard that the empress plans to organize the captives into an army after the busy farming season."

Li Chengdao shook his head slightly, and said: "Training soldiers is Long Chen's business. He is in charge of all military affairs in Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it is not Wang Wei's turn to do it."

That being said, Xiao Yu'er didn't understand why Wang Wei was sent to the front line.

Li Chengdao took the secret letter and thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't understand what it meant?

"From now on, you will directly contact Wang Wei. Be careful, Wang Wei is very important."

Xiao Yu'er bowed: "This subordinate understands."

Xiao Yu'er left the room, Li Chengdao thought about it, but still didn't understand what it meant.

However, no matter what, it is a good thing for Wang Wei to be on the front line. The news from Linhu City can be delivered immediately, and it is absolutely reliable.

Even if the minister of the Ministry of War does not directly command the army, he can still have access to the top military secrets.

He Mengsheng came in hurriedly from the outside and reported, "Your Majesty, Shangshu Yin Shan of the Ministry of Industry and Duan Juncai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, have run away."

Li Chengdao thought he heard it wrong, and asked, "What ran away?"

He Mengsheng replied: "Shangshu Yin Shan of the Ministry of Industry and Duan Juncai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, they left the city last night in the name of inspecting the military equipment, and have not returned yet."

Li Chengdao asked: "Did you get attacked by Eastern Zhou assassins?"

He Mengsheng shook his head and said: "The subordinates did not find the bodies of the two outside the city, and people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households also said that the two have been talking secretly recently."

"So the subordinates thought that the two might have escaped, and sent people to hunt them down."

Li Chengdao's face was displeased, there was a shortage of food in the city, and the soldiers fled very seriously.

It was understandable for the soldiers to flee, but Shang Shu also escaped, which made Li Chengdao very angry.

"Yin Shan and Duan Juncai are both former court officials, how dare they run away."

"After catching up, there is no need to interrogate, just kill on the spot!"

Li Chengdao ordered He Mengsheng to chase and kill him on horseback.

Linhu City.

In the meeting hall, the empress was sitting at the head, Long Chen and other generals were sitting at the bottom, and He Juntao was reporting the situation in Qingren County.

"There is not enough food and grass in Qingren County. Many soldiers have fled. I heard that the ministers have also started to flee. Minister Yin Shan of the Ministry of Industry and Minister Duan Juncai of the Ministry of Households have both fled."

"According to this situation, it only needs to be delayed for a few more months, and the soldiers in Qingren County will collapse by themselves."

This is good news, self-defeating is the best result.

Gongsun Ming felt incredible, and asked: "The ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households have escaped?"

He Juntao smiled and said: "Yes, Tangtang Shangshu has escaped. I don't think Qingren County can last long."

Emperor Luoxi said proudly: "It's all Xiaolonglong's plan. Li Zhaoliang proclaimed himself emperor and cut off the logistics supplies of Qingren County. Without logistics, there is no way to fight."

Di Lingyi gave Di Luoxi a blank look, and was very upset that she was showing off, because Long Chen belonged to the two of them, so why should Di Luoxi be alone.

Di Lingyi was jealous, and the atmosphere became subtle, and the others pretended not to notice.

The Empress coughed dryly and said, "Okay, let's just keep going like this. Without food and grass supplies, the devil won't be able to last long."

The two daughters were flirting in front of so many people, and the empress felt a little uncomfortable.

Qingren County is in chaos, everyone is very happy, but Long Chen is not happy.

"Why does your lord look worried?"

Wu Jian asked.

Long Chen smiled and said: "No, this is a good thing."

After talking about Qingren County, He Juntao continued: "There has also been movement in the direction of Zhangcheng in the past two days. Liu Feibai led 30 troops to garrison. It seems that he is guarding against King Wu."

Long Chen is secretly mobilizing troops to lurk in the town near Zhangcheng, intending to attack Zhangcheng and cut off Qingren County's connection with the outside world.

The empress looked at Long Chen, and said: "It seems to have been discovered."

Long Chen nodded, and said: "It's not surprising, there are too many soldiers and horses mobilized, it's normal to be found out."

Wu Jian asked: "Then shall we continue to deploy troops?"

Long Chen said: "Continue, don't worry about what Liu Feibai does, after the people are in place, attack Zhangcheng according to the plan."

It is actually a bit inappropriate to continue to deploy troops after the intention of the movement has been discovered.

Gongsun Linglong said: "What kind of thing is Liu Feibai? Long Chen went in alone, and we led troops to attack the city, and took half a day to take it down."

Gongsun Ming was a little speechless, his sister was really...

Everyone looked at the empress, the final decision was still in the hands of the empress.

The empress thought for a while, and said: "Just do as King Wu said, continue to secretly mobilize troops and horses, Zhangcheng must be taken."

After the discussion was over, the empress got up to leave, Long Chen and others went out.

When they got outside, Di Luoxi took Long Chen's hand and walked towards his own yard, Di Lingyi immediately took the other hand and said, "Husband, I have a pot of good tea, go to my room to taste it."

Di Luoxi said displeasedly: "Third sister, what do you mean!"

Di Lingyi said coldly: "Drink tea, don't you understand?"

The two argued, and the others stayed far away. This is the matter of the two princesses and cannot be involved.

"Say, where are you going!"

Di Luoxi didn't talk nonsense with Di Lingyi, and asked Long Chen directly.

Long Chen was very embarrassed, it was wrong to choose anyone.

Yingfeng walked out quickly and said: "King Wu, Your Majesty invites you to go over."

Long Chen seemed to be pardoned, and said with a smile: "The Holy Majesty has something to do with me, let's talk about it later."

After finishing speaking, Long Chen quickly walked towards the empress' room.

Entering the room, the empress was taking off her phoenix robe and court attire.

The bright red court clothes were taken off, and the golden underclothes were inside.

The maid continued to untie her belt, and took off her undershirt in front of Long Chen, leaving only a breastplate.

The maids are not stupid, they know that the Empress wants to show Long Chen.

So, even if Long Chen was present, they didn't care, because this was what the Empress wanted.

"Finally decide where to go? Luo Xi's room or Ling Yi's room?"

The Empress changed into a light dress and sat lazily on the couch.
