From eunuch to emperor

Hearing what the old accountant said, Hong Qi nodded and said: "Okay, I will report to the president immediately."

Hong Qi immediately rode to the courtyard in the south of the city.

Zhou Zheng watched Hong Qi leave, and said with a smile: "The president must know, when I was a bodyguard, I kept an eye on Long Chengen."

"Such a big movement, Yan Xing has already reported it."

The old accountant laughed and said, "It's always right to be cautious. If the president doesn't know, someone will remind you."

Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "If the president doesn't know about such big news, it means that Yan Xing is not suitable to be a bodyguard."

The old accountant smiled and said: "After reading the account book, go and see the goods coming in and out."

Zhou Zheng got up and went to the warehouse.

Hong Qi hurried to the courtyard in the south of the city.

When I got inside, I happened to see Yan Xing.

"Lord Hong, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Hong Qi was very anxious and asked, "Is the president inside?"

Yan Xing nodded and said, "Here, resting, what's the matter with the landlord?"

Hong Qi felt a little upset. Yan Xing used to be from the branch downstairs of Sifang Building, but now he is on an equal footing with him, and he is a bit rude.

"Important."

Hong Qi ignored Yan Xing and walked in by himself.

Pushing the door open, Ji Ba is playing with a new Meiji.

"Hong Qi, why are you getting more and more unruly!"

Seeing Hong Qi coming in, Mei Ji hurriedly put on her clothes.

Ji Ba was very upset when Hong Qi interrupted him halfway through the game.

Hong Qi immediately bowed his head and said: "President, Long Chengen has mobilized the troops of the North Camp."

Ji Ba waved his hand and said, "I know, Yan Xing said it."

"Long Cheng'en was reprimanded in court, and the Empress wanted to save face, so she deliberately mobilized the troops from the Peking University Camp to demonstrate."

"They have no other choice but to demonstrate, leave him alone."

"Is there anything else?"

Hong Qi said: "No more."

Ji Ba said displeased: "Such a thing, Yan Xing has already reported it, what are you doing here?"

Hong Qi immediately bowed and said: "This subordinate will leave."

Exiting the room, Hong Qi was ashamed.

Things really happened as Zhou Zheng said, he didn't talk about it for nothing, and even got scolded.

"The landlord won't talk about Long Chengen's transfer of troops, will he? I've already said it, and the president knows about it."

Yan Xing said with a smile.

Hong Qi could hear that Yan Xing was mocking himself.

Hong Qi ignored it and rode away directly.

Seeing Hong Qi slip away in desperation, Yan Xing sneered and said, "What prestige is there!"

After entering the room, Yan Xing said: "President, a letter from Foyuanlou."

Yan Xing presented a secret letter.

Ji Ba took it, took it apart, looked at it, sneered twice, and handed it back to Niu Yang.

"What do the two elders think?"

Gao Nian got up and leaned over to watch together.

After the two finished reading, complex expressions appeared on their faces.

Niu Yang said slowly: "Xixia...their finances are not good. After the war, they need money everywhere, so they are quite nervous."

This letter was sent by Situ Jing, and it talked about the borrowing of money by the Minister of Xixia, and also about Kong Ji running to Foyuan Building to complain.

He also said that Shi Le would have a lot of opinions on the world.

"Hmph, so nervous, we gave him 50 gold coins, and Shi Le took them to the practice palace."

"If it is used to pay for finances, save a little, and it can last for two years."

Gao Nian was very upset.

Ji Ba sneered and said, "Second Elder is right, Shi Le doesn't know how to save money, but he blames us."

"I think what Situ Jing said is right. Since they all say so, then why don't you simply bribe the minister?"

Gao Nian nodded and said, "I support it, anyway, Xixia's household department is in our hands."

"Not to mention the ministers of Xixia, Shi Le even counts on us to eat, so if you buy them, you will buy them."

Niu Yang persuaded: "Young master, our goal is to control Xixia, not replace it."

"We control the ministers, I'm afraid Shi Le will rebel."

Ji Ba laughed and said, "Shi Le resisted? Isn't Long Chengen stronger than Shi Le?"

"Long Cheng'en will give in, but Shi Le dares to resist?"

"Tell Situ Jing that if the ministers want money, they will give it. If Shi Le can't pay him, I will give it to them!"

Seeing that Niu Yang stopped talking, Yan Xing immediately said: "Your subordinate obeys."

Yan Xing feels so good, Tianxiahui can manipulate the court at will.

...

Jinling.

Wolong Valley.

This is where Li Chengdao's summer resort is located.

Wolong Valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides. There is a road in and out on the west side, and a waterfall flows down from the mountain on the east side. There are rare trees and birds on the mountain, and the environment is quiet.

At this time, the scorching sun was in the sky, and it was still the weather of great heat.

The waterfall on the mountain in the east is much smaller, only a trickle falls, and the surrounding trees are lush and green, and the cicadas are screaming desperately on the trees.

The eunuch in the palace was sitting on the railing, holding a fan in his hand and fanning it.

"It hasn't rained for a long time, and Wolong Valley is so hot."

"Isn't that right? What did you say about the summer palace? It's unbearably hot."

An old eunuch came over and said, "Don't go on patrol. It's a hot day, if there is a fire, it will be terrible."

The little eunuch said: "Old Hai, you have said it several times, how can there be a fire here?"

The old eunuch reprimanded: "Little bastards, if something happens, be careful with your heads."

After finishing speaking, the old eunuch went to patrol everywhere.

Seeing the old eunuch leave, the young eunuch said:

"Let's go and have a look. If something happens, our lives will be lost."

"Don't pay attention to his nagging, how could he catch fire."

"Let's take a look, it's hot even sitting."

Reluctantly, the young eunuchs walked slowly.

Li Chengdao practiced in seclusion, and the maids and eunuchs in the palace were very lazy, since the emperor was not there anyway.

"I heard that the emperor is going to retreat for half a year, so we can be free for half a year."

"What half a year of leisure, we will be busy for a while in summer."

"That's a year of leisure."

Several people laughed in low voices, walked through the corridor, and arrived at the main hall, where Li Chengdao lived.

"Huh? Is there a fire in there?"

Suddenly, a eunuch pointed at the side door of the main hall and shouted.

Sure enough, smoke came out of the main hall.

Several eunuchs hurriedly shouted: "The water is gone! The water is gone!"

A eunuch walked quickly and rushed into the main hall, and saw the old eunuch standing here.

"Old Hai, why didn't you yell when you saw the running water?"

The little eunuch felt very strange, why the old eunuch didn't say anything when he found the fire.

The old eunuch was a little surprised when he saw the young eunuch coming in.

"Little brat, why are you here?"

The old eunuch smiled coldly, turned around and stabbed the young eunuch in the heart.

"old..."

boom!

The little eunuch fell to the ground and died.

The entire palace was in commotion, and soldiers, eunuchs, and maids rushed to put out the fire.

The old eunuch mixed into the crowd through another door and left.

...

Jinling, the imperial palace.

There is a Taoist temple in the palace, which is not big in size, but it is exquisitely made. On the gate is written: Xuanji Temple.

There is a couplet written on both sides: two eyes to see the sky; one mind to calculate the mystery.

This is Xuanjizi's dojo, and Li Chengdao specially built it for him.

A eunuch hurried into Xuanji Temple.

Xuanjizi is discussing the government affairs of the court with the second prince Li Jiye.

After Li Chengdao retreated, the government affairs in the court were discussed by the two.

The eunuch entered the door and said anxiously: "Your Highness, Daoist, the Wolong Valley Palace has flooded."

When Li Jiye heard that the palace was on fire, he hurriedly asked, "Has the fire been extinguished?"

The eunuch shook his head and said, "I heard that it was all burnt out, and many people were burned to death."

Li Jiye looked at Xuanjizi, and lamented: "It's over, the palace in Crouching Dragon Valley is my father's true love, and now it's burned, I'm going to be punished."

Xuanjizi felt strange and asked, "Why did it suddenly catch fire?"

The eunuch shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just said it was burned."

Xuanjizi couldn't think of anything for a while, and said: "His Royal Highness, please ask the people of the Imperial City Department to investigate thoroughly. As long as the murderer is caught, this matter will not be regarded as His Highness's crime."

Xuanjizi didn't know whether it was arson or a fire.

What he meant was to let Li Jiye find a substitute for the dead ghost.

Of course Li Jiye understood, and immediately said: "Yes, call Yu Fuguo into the palace."

The eunuch immediately went to the Imperial City Division.

Not long after, Yu Fuguo entered the Mystery View.

"Your Highness, Daoist."

Yu Fuguo bowed respectfully.

Li Jiye sternly said: "Someone set fire to the Crouching Dragon Valley Palace, I order you to thoroughly investigate the case, make sure to catch the real culprit, and give Father an explanation."

Yu Fuguo already knew that the palace was on fire, and he also knew that Li Jiye wanted to find a substitute for the dead.

"The slave obeys, let's investigate now."

Yu Fuguo immediately sent someone to investigate thoroughly.

After the person left, Li Jiye was still very worried and asked, "Master, do you think you should tell Father?"

Xuanjizi said: "Your Highness, report at this time, the emperor asked, what do you say?"

Li Jiye thinks it's right, at least catch one to replace the dead ghost.

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

Li Jiye sincerely hoped that someone behind him deliberately set the fire on purpose.
