From eunuch to emperor

Long Chen entered the palace on horseback, while other ministers walked in.

This is Long Chen's privilege, and other ministers cannot envy it.

At the gate of Daming Palace, Long Chen dismounted, and the imperial guards came to lead the horse.

After entering the court hall, all the ministers stood up.

Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi were behind him, Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan were beside him, and the other civil and military ministers stood in line.

"Dazhu Kingdom, there are news from various places that there are still demon monks from Zhaoti Temple making trouble. Look at this..."

Veteran Li Yizheng walked over slowly, discussing this matter with Long Chen.

Long Chen looked a little embarrassed, and said: "Lord Li, we will discuss it after the Holy Majesty comes to court."

Li Yizheng also knew that Long Chen was ugly, so he returned to the train and stood up.

The other ministers glanced at Long Chen and Li Yizheng, but they all stood silently.

The empress came out from the inner court, sat on the phoenix chair, scanned the hall, and said, "Let's go to court."

Everyone glanced at Long Chen, and then at Li Yizheng.

"Installed by the Holy Majesty, the old minister has something to announce."

The Empress smiled and said, "Master Li, please tell me."

Everyone looked at Li Yizheng, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi knew what Li Yizheng was going to say, their expressions were flat and they didn't make any moves.

"There are news from all over the world that the demon monks are still making trouble."

"Last time Dazhu Kingdom said that it would ask Tianxia to intervene, but now it seems that the effect is not good."

"The old minister asked the emperor to discuss this matter and find a way to solve it."

After Li Yizheng finished speaking, the ministers in the court began to discuss.

Someone started it, and it was not their problem to say it.

The empress frowned slightly, looked at Long Chen, and asked: "Da Zhu Kingdom, didn't you find the Tianxiahui?"

"Why are the demon monks all over the place still making trouble?"

Long Chen sighed helplessly, walked out and said: "Qizou Shengshang, I have looked for Sifanglou a few days ago."

"But Sifanglou said that this is a matter between Xi Xia and Da Zhou, and they will not interfere."

After Long Chen finished speaking, the court ministers were very surprised.

They always thought that Long Chen was very powerful and able to negotiate with Tianxiahui, but they didn't expect Tianxiahui to not agree to it at all.

Some ministers snickered underneath.

The female emperor's phoenix eyes narrowed, and she said angrily: "What did you say when you forced Da Zhou to return it to Zhenguo Temple!"

"Now Xixia is causing trouble, the world will not care about it!"

"They don't care, then fight, Xixia is dishonest if they don't fight!"

"Long Cheng'en, I named you Generalissimo of Pingxi! Immediately raise 50 troops and destroy Xixia!"

The court ministers were taken aback, they didn't expect the Empress to be so angry.

Both Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan were shocked. Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi pretended to be excited, and came out to worship:

"Mother, my son is willing to lead the army, and then destroy the Zhenguo Temple and destroy Xixia!"

The Empress nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you two belong to the Dazhu Kingdom, and you will send troops today!"

Before the court ministers could react, the Empress had already made arrangements.

Wang Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, came out and worshiped: "Your Majesty, we still need to prepare armaments, food and grass. I am afraid that we have to raise troops in a hurry..."

Duan Shuangshuang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also came out to pay homage: "Your Majesty, if you raise 50 troops at a time, you may have to raise military expenses."

Di Luoxi said: "The Jade Buddha Pass already has 20 Long family troops, and only 30 more soldiers are needed."

Di Lingyi also said: "The defenders of Yanmen Pass can also help out. We can send troops to break through the Zhenguo Temple first, and then slowly advance."

The two sisters spoke very excitedly.

The ministers talked one after another:

"Why did you send troops? Is it wrong?"

"Xixia's national strength is weak now, and it is just right to send troops at this time."

"I also think so. Da Zhu's soldiers are in great power, and he will lead the troops to victory."

"Not much, Xixia is a frightened bird, vulnerable to a single blow."

The ministers basically agreed to send troops to conquer.

Long Chen didn't say a word...

The Empress looked at Long Chen and asked, "Why didn't the Dazhu Kingdom accept the edict?"

Long Chen bowed and said: "My lord, my minister... When I discuss with Tianxiahui, Tianxiahui clearly expresses its disapproval of sending troops."

The empress got up and said angrily: "My country doesn't need the world to point fingers!"

The ministers in the court all shut up and stood up.

They didn't expect the Empress to be so angry, and she was still angry with Long Chen.

Ever since Long Chen appeared in Dazhou, the Empress has never been angry with Long Chen.

This is the first fire.

Long Chen's face was ugly, and he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, in the last battle, I actually suffered a lot of casualties."

"If the army is raised again, I am afraid that the world will be in turmoil and the people will be uneasy."

"In addition, the world will disagree. If they provoke Nanliang to attack again, we are afraid that the situation will not be good."

What Long Chen said was the truth, the court officials were waiting for the Empress's decision.

Di Yuwei was also very surprised, he didn't expect the empress to reprimand Long Chen in court.

"Queen, what Da Zhuguo said is right, we also need to recuperate."

"Furthermore, the world will fan the flames. If they provoke again, I'm afraid..."

Di Xingwan also said: "Queen Mother, I request further discussion."

Di Luoxi was very dissatisfied, and said: "There is nothing to discuss, Xixia fouled first, so it should be hit!"

Di Lingyi nodded and said, "Are the eldest and second sisters scared?"

Di Yu said slightly displeased: "You all know about wars, wars require people to ask for money, how can it be so easy."

The four princesses quarreled, and the ministers began to discuss again.

The empress turned her head and asked Long Chen: "Then what do you think?"

Everyone looked at Long Chen.

"My minister suggested sending troops to wipe out the infiltrating demon monks first, and send a large army to wipe them out."

"The so-called killing chickens with a sledgehammer, show Xixia, our Da Zhou has more than enough troops."

"If Xixia dares to provoke again, we will send troops."

Long Chen said helplessly.

The ministers could hear that Long Chen was short of breath.

The empress sat down slowly, looked at Long Chen without speaking for a long time.

The ministers below did not speak.

Di Yu came out slightly, and bowed: "Mother, my son thinks what Dazhu Kingdom said is reasonable."

"Let's calm down the demon monk inside first, and at the same time show our military power, let Xixia know that I can fight again in Dazhou."

The empress sighed slightly, and said, "That's it."

After speaking, the empress got up and went back to the inner court very unhappy.

"Congratulations to the Holy One."

All the ministers paid homage to the empress.

Di Luoxi said dissatisfied: "Long Chengen, what's the use of doing this?"

"It will only make Xixia feel that our Dazhou is easy to bully and dare not fight."

Di Lingyi also said angrily: "It's just a Tianxiahui, at worst, the Tianxiahui will be cleaned up together!"

The two princesses besieged Long Chen, and the other ministers retreated one after another, not wanting to bring up this matter.

Seeing the two besieging Long Chen at night, Di Xing came out to relieve the siege: "Stop saying a few words, if the matter was so simple, Da Zhu Kingdom would have done it long ago."

"You have to think about the overall situation, don't just think about fighting."

Long Chen didn't want to explain too much, he left Daming Palace with his head down, and didn't talk to anyone else.

Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi went back to the palace respectively and did not follow to Longshuai's mansion.

The Empress came out of the Daming Palace, and was furious all the way, cursing: "I thought Long Chengen was the God of War of the Great Zhou, but I didn't expect to be so afraid of the world meeting, it's really useless!"

Yingfeng knew that this was for others to hear, so she didn't refute or agree, so she followed back to Fengming Palace with her head bowed.

With the empress' scolding, everyone in the palace guessed that Long Chen's position in the court would be shaken.
