From eunuch to emperor

Hearing Zhong Gui's words, Shangguan Wei raised his head slowly and replied, "Okay!"

Getting up from the chair with difficulty, Shangguanwei ordered the housekeeper: "Take care of the affairs of the house, and I will change my clothes."

The butler immediately asked someone to help Murong Yan down, and collected the body, and sent two servant girls to wait on Shangguanwei to wash and change clothes.

After changing into a court uniform, Shangguanwei seemed to have a look on his face again.

"Eunuch has been waiting for a long time."

Zhong Gui could tell that Shangguanwei was trying to force himself.

"Let's go."

Zhong Gui and Shangguan Wei entered the palace and went straight to the inner court, where they saw Li Chengdao in bright yellow dragon robe, and an eunuch standing beside him was Yu Fuguo, the emissary of the military supervisor.

"The humble minister, Shangguan, pays respects to my emperor."

The Shangguan saluted respectfully and respectfully.

Li Chengdao sat at a stone table, the leaves of the surrounding trees were withered and yellow, the lotus leaves on the pond were withered, and the autumn was bleak.

"Failed?"

Li Chengdao spoke lightly.

Shangguanwei lowered his head and replied, "We lost."

The two monarchs and ministers said such a sentence, and then there was a long silence.

When Shangguan Wei was defeated, Yu Fuguo led his people and ran all the way back to Jinling first, and told the story of the battle.

Li Chengdao was shocked after hearing this.

In this battle, everyone felt that they must win. The two generals commanded 40 troops, and there was absolutely no reason to fail against a 20-year-old Emperor Luoxi.

But in the end, the 40 army was almost wiped out, Murong Xiao died in battle, Shangguan Xiu and Shangguan Mu died in battle.

No one expected this result.

Among the five tiger generals of Nanliang, Long Ye and Murong Xiao died, and there were only three left.

Shangguanwei is not dead yet, but after such a big defeat, does he still have the courage to fight again?

There is nothing greater than heartbreak, a general without morale, how is he different from a waste?

"sit down."

After a long time, Li Chengdao said a word.

Shangguanwei bowed and sat on the side. He used to sit directly opposite Li Chengdao.

"Tell me what's going on."

Shangguanwei got up and bowed again, and told the story of the battle.

Yu Fuguo next to him was sweating slightly on his forehead, adding fuel to what he said just now.

After listening to Shangguanwei's narration, Li Chengdao remained expressionless, and said indifferently: "So, you lost to Long Chengen, an eunuch?"

Yu Fuguo and Zhong Gui's eyes moved at the same time, not knowing whether it was joy or contempt.

Shangguanwei had always despised them eunuchs, but this time he was beaten badly by the eunuchs of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and he felt a little relieved.

"The humble minister is incompetent."

Shangguanwei did not argue or explain, but directly admitted.

Li Chengdao said with a smirk: "One eunuch, one eunuch killed you 60 yuan, and put Murong Xiao and your two sons on it."

"Have you found out Long Chengen's identity?"

Shangguan Wei got up and said: "No."

Li Chengdao couldn't help laughing dryly: "Then what did you get this time?"

Shangguanwei was silent.

After laughing dryly, Li Chengdao immediately restrained his expression again, still with a sad and happy expression.

"Why didn't the Empress kill you when she arrived in Diaoyu City?"

Li Chengdao asked suddenly.

Shangguanwei was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I don't know."

In fact, he is also very strange, the empress only needs to cross the river by boat when she arrives in Diaoyu City, and she can easily kill Shangguanwei, but she asks Yingfeng to come to help and let him go.

Another moment of silence.

Li Chengdao looked at the withered and lifeless pond, and said: "The loss of soldiers and generals will shake the court, so you can do it yourself."

Shangguan Wei stood up and bowed: "I accept the decree, I thank you!"

Li Chengdao remained expressionless, and Shangguanwei withdrew from the palace.

Yu Fuguo lowered his head beside him, not daring to make any moves.

Li Chengdao waved his hand, and the two eunuchs went down.

At this time, a Taoist priest came out, it was Xuanjizi, the head of Cangxuan Mountain.

"The Daoist thinks why the empress didn't kill Shangguanwei?"

Li Chengdao asked.

Xuanjizi sat down, stroked his beard, and said, "Two possibilities, first, let Shangguanwei go on purpose, anyway, he is already frightened, and there is no threat anymore, let us have a look."

"Second... the empress can't kill Shangguanwei."

Li Chengdao frowned, and asked: "Do you also think that the Empress is dead?"

Xuanjizi shook his head and said with a smile: "The poor dare not speculate, this is only a possibility."

While the two were talking, Zhong Gui came over again and said, "Your Majesty, Murong Xiao's body has been brought back."

After the empress killed Murong Xiao, she collected the body in a coffin and sent someone to bring the body back.

Li Chengdao immediately said: "Bring it in!"

Zhong Gui was stunned for a moment, how could the corpse be carried into the palace?

Li Chengdao saw what Zhong Gui was thinking, and said coldly: "Go!"

Soon, a coffin was brought in and placed outside the pavilion.

Xuan Jizi and Li Chengdao got up, and they opened the coffin with their own hands. Inside was Murong Xiao's body, with his head in a different place.

Li Chengdao carefully inspected his whole body, especially the wound.

"Killed with one blow, without any trace of fighting, the Empress completely crushed Murong Xiao."

After careful inspection, Li Chengdao came to a conclusion.

Xuanjizi looked complicated, and said: "So, the rumors are false."

Li Chengdao sat back, and Zhong Gui asked someone to carry the coffin out of the palace and return it to Murong's family.

Li Chengdao knocked on the stone table and said, "It's hard to tell the truth from the fake."

Xuanjizi shook his head and said, "I can't tell."

After a while of silence, Xuanjizi returned to the Taoist temple in the palace, and Li Chengdao returned to his bedroom.

After all the maids and eunuchs retreated, Li Chengdao took out a booklet from the hidden compartment, and wrote a line on it: Long Ye sincerely played.

Flipping through the brochure, Li Chengdao looked at every word carefully.

"Tatsuno, is what you said true or false?"

After reading the brochure, Li Chengdao put the brochure back in the dark compartment.

...

Jinling East Palace Prince's Mansion.

Li Chengtong was listening to a eunuch's report in the room. After listening, Li Chengtong showed a shocked expression.

"Murong Xiao is dead? Shangguan Wei is finished?"

Li Chengtong did not expect that the Shangguan family would fail this time, and lost to a eunuch.

"I heard that the empress has made a move."

the eunuch said in a low voice.

Li Chengtong was shocked: "Empress? No wonder, I said how could a eunuch kill Murong Xiao!"

"Sixth sister is poor, betrothed to Long Chen, Long Chen is dead, betrothed to Shangguanxiu, Shangguanxiu is dead."

What he was talking about was the Sixth Princess Li Yunji, who originally had a marriage contract with Long Chen, and was later betrothed to Shangguan Xiu, and died again before getting married.

"This Long Chengen, you have to keep an eye on it."

Li Chengtong faintly felt that Long Chen was a huge threat, and he was specifically targeting Nanliang.

Shangguanwei's defeat quickly spread throughout Jinling City, and the Nanliang government was shaken. Everyone was talking about Long Chen, saying that this Long Chen was actually not a real eunuch, but a very powerful hermit.

Various speculations and stories began to appear, and the story of Long Chen became more and more mysterious.

...

A group of Long Chen and Di Luoxi rode horses and escorted tens of thousands of captives into Daughter City.

The empress led the court ministers of Chinese and military to greet her at the door.

This time the welcome was even more grand than last time.

Everyone knows that this time the Tianwei Legion was destroyed, Murong Xiao was killed, and Quarry City was also captured.

A city defense battle turned into a siege battle.

The empress stood in the middle wearing a fine attire, and Emperor Luoxi and Long Chen hurriedly got off their horses to meet them.

"You played very well this time. You have opened up the territory for my Great Zhou. Long Chengen in particular has made great contributions this time."

Long Chen bowed: "They are all wise and wise, and I dare not ask for credit."

The Empress took Long Chen's hand and said: "If you have meritorious service, you will be meritorious. Follow me into the city."

The female emperor took Long Chen's hand and walked in, but Emperor Luoxi stepped aside instead.

In the crowd, Jing Heng had a complicated look on his face. Long Chen glanced at him, and Jing Heng felt trembling all over.

Long Chen thought to himself: If you dare to scheme against me, I will kill you!
