From eunuch to emperor

When Wang Wei returned to the door of his house, a group of horses and horses approached him. The driver slowly stopped the carriage, turned around and opened the curtain, babbling and gesticulating.

"Sun Langzhong, who is this?"

Wang Wei is the minister of the Ministry of War, and his official rank is higher than that of Sun Ming, but the Department of Wenxuan of the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion and transfer of officials, and his status is very important, just like the Organization Department in modern society.

Therefore, even though Wang Wei has a higher rank than Sun Ming, he still has to give Sun Ming face.

Sun Ming got down from his horse with a smile, holding an appointment document in his hand, and said: "Congratulations Wang Shangshu!"

Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Could it be that..."

Sun Ming smiled and said: "That's right, with the consent of the Holy One, the Ministry of Officials elected Mr. Wang as Minister of the Ministry of War. This is an appointment document."

For such an important position as Shangshu, only the emperor said it would count, but Sun Ming said that the official department recommended him, which was an invitation for credit.

Wang Wei received the appointment document and bowed in the direction of the palace: "Thank you, Lord Long En."

After the worship, Wang Wei immediately dragged Sun Ming into the mansion. When the family got the news, they immediately killed the sheep to celebrate.

Wang Wei gave Sun Ming 500 taels of silver as a thank you for the good news.

When celebrating at home, Wang Wei immediately changed into court clothes and entered the palace to thank him.

Because he had just been appointed as a minister, there was no time to make new court clothes, so he could only enter the palace wearing the clothes of the minister.

When I arrived at Fengming Palace, I saw Di Wan'er and informed her to go in. The Empress received her in the imperial study.

When Wang Wei entered the imperial study, sweat was pouring down his forehead and back, and his legs were shaking.

He knew in his heart that all of this was arranged by Long Chen, and the Empress was cooperating.

This Shangshu is not given in vain.

"My humble minister, Wang Wei, pay homage to the Holy Majesty."

Wang Wei bowed deeply, not daring to look directly at the Empress.

There are only the empress and Wang Wei in the imperial study room, and the maids are all rejected.

"Not much to say, Long Cheng'en has already told me that I will concentrate on doing things for Da Zhou, and I will not treat you badly."

"For the past, let the past not be to blame; for the future, all will be arranged by Long Chengen."

The Empress' voice was cold, and Wang Weisser trembled.

"The humble minister leads the decree to thank you."

Wang Wei bowed again, and then withdrew from Fengming Palace.

From the beginning to the end, Wang Wei didn't dare to look at the empress.

After leaving the palace, Wang Wei was soaked in sweat under his inner clothes.

Wang Wei was very happy when he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, and felt that he was on Long Chen's thief ship, and he would be at the mercy of Long Chen from now on.

Seeing that Wang Wei was sweating profusely, the coachman immediately opened the curtain, and Wang Wei got into the carriage.

"Hey, it's a hot potato, let me deal with Jing Tianlie."

Wang Wei deliberately sighed.

This groom is a spy of the Imperial City Department, and Wang Wei's sweating profusely is abnormal, so he must give an explanation.

The ears of the carriage moved, and it waved its whip slowly, driving the carriage back.

...

The news that Wang Wei took over as Shangshu of the Ministry of War quickly spread throughout the capital, and everyone said that Wang Wei had followed the path of the old Zhu Guogong Sun Yun.

After the Shangshu of the Ministry of War was finalized, the ministers of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry were also finalized.

The household department was taken over by the assistant minister Duan Shuangshuang, the industry department was replaced by the assistant minister Xu Ming, and Long Chen took over completely.

...

Qiuxing Palace.

Wu Jian, Dugu Jiali, and the Wu sisters entered the yard, and Long Chen was writing a book in the pavilion.

"grown ups."

"sit down."

The four of them sat down, and Fei Linai came over with small steps to pour tea.

"Tell me about the training."

Long Chen put down the Zihao brush, and shared tea with several people.

Wu Jian said: "The cavalry on my side has expanded to [-]. The problem now is that the quality of the horses is not good. I have to buy some from the north."

The horses of the northern barbarians are the best, but the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the northern barbarians have always been hostile, and it is difficult to get good horses.

The barbarians are uneducated, but they are not stupid. The advantage of the barbarians lies in their powerful cavalry. If the horses were given to the Eastern Zhou, their advantage would be gone.

What they traded with Dongzhou Hushi was limited to fur, medicinal materials, cattle and sheep, and war horses were absolutely not given.

Because Xixia has the same religious belief as Beiman, it has obtained many horses with good bloodlines and formed a powerful cavalry with strong combat effectiveness.

This is the reason why Xixia's national strength is not strong, but its combat effectiveness is strong.

Long Chen shook his head and said: "Bei Man won't give it so easily, we can't rely on others, if we can't get the horses, we will start from other places."

"What about the crossbow battalion and infantry battalion?"

Dugu Jiali said: "My number has expanded to [-] and I'm training."

Wu Chuchu said: "The number of infantry has expanded to [-]. They are basically the people from Qianjiang County who are still training."

There are [-] soldiers and horses in total, which is enough to fight a big battle, but if the equipment is not enough, the casualties will be heavy.

"Let's put aside the matter of the war horses. This matter cannot be rushed. I will think of a way here. Strong bows and crossbows can also restrain cavalry."

As long as the thinking is not slippery, there are always more ways than difficulties.

If Long Chen couldn't get a good war horse, then he would make a good bow and crossbow.

"I wrote a military book, you take it back, every general must read it by heart, and you too."

Long Chen gave Wu Jian the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" written by himself.

A few people gathered together to read, there were thirteen chapters in total, and the beginning read: Soldiers, major affairs of the country, places of death and life, ways of survival, must be investigated.

Wu Jian exclaimed: "My lord, you wrote this military book, right? It's better than Master Wei's military theory."

Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu also praised: "Your Excellency is really amazing, capable of literature, martial arts and military art."

Long Chen hooked his fingers, and said with a wretched smile: "Is that all?"

Last night, sisters Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun slept with Long Chen. As for what they did, everyone can guess...

Wu Xiangyun was thin-skinned, blushed immediately, and said, "Sister, he is so annoying..."

Zhang Qian complained: "You take advantage of others and talk about it everywhere, you are really shameless."

Long Chen said with a dry smile: "They are all our own."

Xiang Ning hurried over and said, "My lord, Sifanglou Hong Qi is here."

Long Chen's Minister of Industry was taken away, Hong Qi was afraid of supply problems, so he came to discuss with Long Chen, this is normal.

"Look, make a copy for all the generals in the army, and study hard."

Long Chen took Zhang Qian to the reception room outside.

This is the harem, outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Arriving at the outer courtyard of the imperial palace, he entered a secluded courtyard, which was specially prepared by Long Chen.

The secret guards and the Imperial City Division were all-pervasive, so he had to ensure that no one eavesdropped.

In ancient times, there were no bugs, as long as people were protected.

After entering the courtyard, Zhang Qian stood guard at the door, surrounded by high walls and a deep courtyard, no one was allowed to approach.

Long Chen walked into the main hall slowly, Hong Qi, the owner of Sifang Building, was pacing anxiously in the room.

"Lord Hong, long time no see."

Long Chen smiled and walked in.

When Hong Qi saw Long Chen, he immediately asked: "Master Long, why were you dismissed from office?"

Long Chen smiled awkwardly: "Hey, it's a joke, I thought Wang Wei was a softie, but I didn't expect it to be a tortoise shell, and the last thing I expected was that Sun Yun, the Duke of the Old Zhu Kingdom, stepped in and forced the Holy Majesty to deal with me. "
