From eunuch to emperor

"Xiaolonglong, you are really amazing, you know so much, what did you do in the Zhenguo General's Mansion?"

Qingyue asked seemingly unintentionally.

The air suddenly became quiet, Long Chen knew it was a temptation.

This time they captured Linjiang City, captured more than 5 Tianwei Legion, and almost wiped out the rest, almost all the credit can be credited to Long Chen.

Di Luoxi sent someone to send a letter to Daughter City, asking the female emperor to thoroughly investigate Long Chen's background, and Di Luoxi continued to probe.

"Hey, I was the vanguard general of Zhen Guo General's Mansion back then."

Long Chen was indeed a vanguard general back then, and he was at the forefront every time he went out.

"Hahaha... you are the vanguard general? Just you?"

Xuan Yihaha was amused by Long Chen.

Long Chen is no more than a martial artist now, it's too funny to be the vanguard general of Zhen Guo General's Mansion.

"What are you laughing at? Now that I've become a eunuch, my force value has decreased. I was also a fierce general back then."

Qingyue laughed until the flower branches on her chest trembled: "Before you cut it, you were also a fierce general... I laughed to death."

Long Chen shook his head helplessly, he was very frank and told the truth, but they didn't believe it.

"Stop making trouble, and when Linjiang City is built, we will return to the imperial court as teachers."

Di Luoxi also found it funny, and didn't believe Long Chen's words at all.

Outside Linjiang City.

Nanliang eunuch Zhong Gui's spies arrived. The spies carefully inspected Linjiang City, and then sneaked into the city to inquire about news.

After inquiring clearly, the spies went back to Jinling to report.

Li Chengdao was shocked when he heard that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was rapidly rebuilding Linjiang City.

"It is said that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty invented a terrible fortification powder, which can be as hard as a rock after solidification."

Zhong Gui said in a low voice.

Li Chengdao frowned and said: "Release your subordinates, you must get this powder, and then let Shangguanwei gather his troops and prepare to take back Linjiang City."

Zhong Gui immediately went to deliver the order, and at the same time sent his own spies to Linjiang City.

After the blizzard, the weather was dry and cold, and the cement city wall was quickly completed. Li Xiannan transferred his troops to Linjiang City, and the border of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty returned to the south of the river.

At these times, Emperor Luoxi sent troops to capture the surrounding cities and basically regained the original land of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

After Di Luoxi finished explaining the matter, he took his soldiers and horses back to Daughter City.

Those who went back together were also the prisoners of Nanliang.

These prisoners are not ordinary soldiers, but generals and lieutenants, all of whom have military ranks.

Back in Daughter City, the Empress led the Chinese and Chinese military officials to greet her at the south gate.

The empress was dressed in splendid attire, and the three princesses behind her were greeted spontaneously by the common people on both sides of the road.

Emperor Luoxi got off his horse and bowed: "It's a good thing that my son did not disgrace his life, broke through Linjiang City, and regained my old land of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

The empress was very happy, she took Di Luoxi's hand and said, "Follow me back to court."

The Empress and Emperor Luoxi walked side by side and entered the Daming Palace.

The empress sat on the phoenix chair, and all the civil and military officials stood up.

Conquering Linjiang City and defeating Shangguanxiu, this is the biggest victory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in these years, and everyone is very happy.

"The four princesses broke through the Southern Liang and wiped out 20 Tianwei legions. This is a great achievement."

"I want to seal Linjiang City as the permanent fiefdom of the Fourth Princess, what do all the lovers think?"

A woman in her 40s came out and said: "Back when Tatsuno occupied Linjiang City, Nanliang gave Linjiang City to Tatsuno as his permanent fiefdom."

"Now that the princess has regained Linjiang City, the emperor bestowed Linjiang City on the princess. This is in line with the usual practice."

This woman is Bai Qiulian, Minister of War of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

A man in his 20s came out. This man was very fat, and the ancient court clothes were very loose, which still couldn't cover his belly.

"Your Majesty, Luo Xi has won a big victory this time, so he should be rewarded heavily."

Long Chen heard the man directly calling Di Luoxi's name from behind, he looked very friendly, and his eyes fell on the man.

Xuan Yi next to him said in a low voice: "This is Jing Heng, Jing Tianlie's eldest son, Minister of the Household Department."

Long Chen nodded slightly, it turned out that this was the second generation official, that toad who only wanted to marry Emperor Luoxi.

Hearing Jing Heng's words, Di Luoxi made no secret of her disgust.

"Well, good, I will give Linjiang City to the fourth princess as a permanent fiefdom."

The empress announced in public.

"The Ministry of War has checked the merits of the soldiers who went out this time, and rewarded them together."

The Empress said to Bai Qiulian, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Bai Qiulian bowed and said: "My minister obeys the order."

Emperor Luoxi stepped forward and said: "My queen, the chief eunuch Long Cheng'en has made great contributions to capturing Linjiang City this time, and I request that he be named Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Emperor Luoxi had already mentioned this matter when he presented the good news to the Empress.

But the empress didn't mention it, because it would cause great criticism to appoint an eunuch as a minister.

After Di Luoxi finished speaking, the eyes of the Chinese and Military Ministers all fell on him.

"This..."

The Empress knew Long Chen's identity, and she had no objection to making Long Chen Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the problem was that the ministers couldn't keep their mouths shut.

Hubu Shangshu Jing Heng looked at Long Chen with hostile eyes, he heard that Long Chen and Emperor Luoxi were almost inseparable.

Although he was a eunuch, he was still upset.

"Luoxi, Shangshu is the prime minister of the court, how can an eunuch be in charge?"

Jing Heng was the first to object.

Bai Qiulian also objected: "Your Majesty, Shang Shu is the prime minister, and if an eunuch is the prime minister, it will make the world laugh at me that there is no one in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

Jing Heng and Bai Qiulian took the lead in objecting, and other ministers also objected.

In their view, it is a big joke to give such an important post of minister to a eunuch.

Di Luoxi was very angry, she didn't even realize that she already had a special feeling for Long Chen.

"The breaking of Linjiang City this time is due to Long Chengen. He detonated the kerosene buried under the city, and then he invented the magical powder. Within half a month, Linjiang City was rebuilt. Such a large The credit is enough to be named Shangshu."

Di Luoxi argued in public.

The ministers in the court only knew that Emperor Luoxi broke Linjiang City, and then rebuilt Linjiang City.

But the specific battle process, they do not know.

"How is it possible? He is a eunuch, how could he know the existence of kerosene?"

Bai Qiulian, Minister of the Ministry of War, was the first to raise doubts.

Di Luoxi didn't say that Long Chen had worked in the Zhen Guo General's Mansion before, but only said: "He has acquaintances in the Nanliang Army, and he got the news from secret channels."

Wang Wei, the servant of the Ministry of War, asked: "Your Highness, you said that Long Chengen invented a magical powder. What is it? Can you show us?"

Di Luoxi immediately said: "This is a top secret of our Eastern Zhou Dynasty. I have no comment, but Linjiang City has already been built. If Wang Shilang has any questions, you can go to Linjiang City to have a look."

Wang Wei, the minister of the Ministry of War, laughed and stepped back.

When the empress saw that almost all the ministers in the court were against it, only Emperor Luoxi strongly recommended Long Chen, and she couldn't express her opinion.

The so-called unfavorable opinion means that as the king of a country, he cannot oppose most of the ministers.

At this time, Bai Libing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out and said: "Your Majesty, princess, my lords, everyone has different opinions on Long Chengen's matter. I have a suggestion, please listen to it."
