After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

After Taoist Zuntian left Kyoto, Eunuch Xiao no longer had any value in living. Wouldn't it be troublesome to have to send people to monitor him every day?

After Mei Xichen and Shen Tingyu discussed it for a while, they decided to put him to death on any charge. But what charge should be placed on this old eunuch who never left the house every day?

"Ting Yu, you said that you asked the fake emperor to pronounce a decree to punish Eunuch Xiao. Isn't it the best reason to say that he conspired with Taoist Xianfeng to use elixirs to murder the emperor? Now that Taoist Xianfeng is dead, the court Everyone knows that he recommended Xianfeng Taoist, so this matter is logical and there is nothing worth arguing about." Mei Xichen suddenly seemed to be enlightened.

"Well, that's true. Anyway, the fake emperor is listening to you. Besides, Yagong's plan has been implemented. They no longer care whether Eunuch Xiao is dead or alive. I think it's best to get rid of him as soon as possible. Good, so as not to have long nights and many dreams." Shen Tingyu nodded, thinking that he should eradicate Eunuch Xiao as soon as possible.

As soon as he said it was done, Mei Xichen personally drew up an imperial edict, sealed it with a jade seal, hurried into the palace, handed the imperial edict to the fake emperor, and ordered him to have Eunuch Wei read it out at his court tomorrow morning.

In order to save his life, the fake emperor had no reason to refute. At this time, he did whatever Mei Xichen said without any ambiguity.

In the morning of the next day, the fake emperor followed Mei Xichen's instructions yesterday and handed the prepared imperial edict to Eunuch Wei to be read out, and asked Mei Xichen to lead troops to raid Eunuch Xiao's residence on the spot.

At this time, Eunuch Xiao didn't know what was going on. He knew that his life was on the line, but he didn't expect that Mei Xichen would attack him so quickly. When Mei Xichen found him, he was ordering his soldiers to dig a tunnel in a secret place in the house, hoping to escape to the outside of Kyoto through the tunnel. Unexpectedly, he was taken back by Mei Xichen just after digging half of the tunnel. Prison Department of Punishment.

Since Xu Mo had already gone to the border, Mei Xichen was temporarily in charge of all matters of the Criminal Department, so the entire interrogation and judgment were effortless. It only took three days to investigate Eunuch Xiao as a spy sent by Yagong. It was very clear. In order to prevent the news from leaking, no one knew about it except him and Shen Tingyu.

However, the charges were still based on the originally set recommendation, and the charge of conspiring to harm the emperor ended up being executed. The top person in charge of Dongchang was also temporarily handled by Eunuch Wei.

After getting rid of the cancer of Eunuch Xiao, the people and things in the court became much cooler. What if Mei Xichen can sit back and relax from now on? Not necessarily. The internal worries have been resolved for now, but what about the external ones?

He felt that the burden on him was getting heavier and heavier. He recalled that when he was recovering from a serious illness and before he had fully entered the officialdom, he was with Shangguanqing all day long. That life was enjoyable, and now Although the country is in hand, life is not happy.

Sometimes I really want to run away and find my lover, but what if there is no one to govern this huge country? Who can take over this important task for me? Whenever he thinks of this, he will frown. Mei Xichen, who was once full of energy and graceful in the wind, can never go back to his original self. But on the other hand, Shen Tingyu seems to be getting better and better with Rongruo's company. The easier you live, the more nourishing you are.

Sometimes thinking about this incident, Mei Xichen wished to send him to the border so that he could also experience the pain of lovesickness.

Taoist Zuntian finally returned to Yagong after a bumpy journey, and came to the king of the country, Pella, with a vivid expression of extreme loyalty and flattery.

"Master of the country, Kyoto has promised us to open the border trade." After speaking, he handed the signed agreement to Pera with both hands.

"Well, okay, you did a good job." After saying this, Bila twirled his beard and praised Taoist Zuntian.

"By the way, Taoist Master, then our next step should be to send some good things to Kyoto." Bella winked at Taoist Zuntian with a sinister look on his face.

"Master, don't worry. Kyoto has just opened its borders and may have some concerns about us. Let's get some of our country's specialties to sell first, and also import some of their items. When they relax their vigilance, we will wait for an opportunity to act. "What do you think of the king?" Taoist Zuntian bowed and came to Bella and whispered.

"Okay, that's right. The Taoist priest is very thoughtful, so I'll do as you say." As Bella said, he asked his personal attendants to bring up three large boxes of jewelry and jade.

"Taoist Master, you have done a good job this time. The Lord of the country is very satisfied. These are rewards. When I unify Kyoto one day, I will definitely make you a marquis and worship you as prime minister." He ordered someone to open the box.

After these three large boxes of jewelry were opened, the whole room was suddenly dazzling with golden light. Taoist Zuntian was so excited to see them that he quickly knelt down to thank them.

It has been more than two months since the border trade was opened, and Xu Mo and Lingque have also been here for more than two months. Everything is as usual, and nothing suspicious has been discovered, because the generals stationed here know that Xu Mo is from Mei Xichen, so these people are very cautious in their actions and dare not make any mistakes.

Xu Mo also sent someone to write down the situation here in detail in a letter and sent it to Mei Xichen. Mei Xichen was also extremely anxious. Why was there no movement from Yagong? If the enemy cannot move, how can we move?

Although Mei Xichen was very anxious, in his reply to Xu Mo, he still asked him to calm down and stay vigilant, and said that Yagong would definitely take action in the near future.

Xu Mo's life is actually pretty good. After all, he is accompanied by Ling Que, and his life is naturally incomparable to Mei Xichen's. Anyway, he has already done a good job of monitoring all imported goods. Apart from being busy with official duties, he only spends time with Ling. bird.

As for Bing'er and Xue'er, after the fake emperor's matter was resolved last time, Lingque sent them back to make an explanation to the clan members. He stayed because he was worried about Xu Mo's safety.

The two of them lived like a couple of gods and gods all day long, which made the soldiers and generals stationed here envious.

Taoist Zuntian is trying to cultivate a magical flower. This flower is also a poisonous flower that he mainly uses to transport to Kyoto to control people's minds.

The Taoists here in Yagong are all very good at using poisons, especially extracting and cultivating them from insects and plants, and then processing and developing them. This Taoist from Heaven is even better than his junior brother in making and using poisons. level, so he was confident that it was only a matter of time before he won Kyoto.

So he played with these exotic flowers and herbs in the alchemy room every day, in order to be able to implement the plan as soon as possible and win the title of Marquis and Prime Minister of Kyoto as soon as possible.
