From eunuch to emperor

When Hou rode to the door, Shi Le let Hou ride in.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, there is a new situation at Zhenguo Temple, all five of Long Chengen's female generals have arrived."

Deshan suffered from intelligence, and didn't know that Long Chen had arrived at Zhenguo Temple.

Shi Le was worried that Long Chen would play tricks again, so he sent Hou Qi to keep an eye on Zhenguo Temple and report all his actions.

Hou Qi had just discovered the information about Zhenguo Temple, so he came back immediately to report.

Kong Ji immediately asked, "Which five?"

Hou Qi replied: "Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali, Bai Tingting and Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun."

"Oh, there is another woman I have never seen before, who seems to be He Juntao, Long Chengen's housekeeper."

Kong Ji asked again: "Is there no one else?"

Hou Qi shook his head and said, "I haven't found anyone else."

After confirming that it was correct, Monk Kongji heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, things are alright."

"These five people are Long Chengen's generals, but they are not so much generals as his mistresses."

"The five of them are not as good as kings. Zhang Qian, the tallest one, is only in the middle and late stages of kings. The others are even more insignificant."

"They are with the army, they are just having sex with Long Chengen."

"We have five Martial Emperor masters, and Long Cheng'en only has one. At that time, the front-line fighters will surely win a big victory."

Monk Kongji became more and more happy as he talked, even Shi Le was also happy, and said: "Long Chengen didn't bring a master to help out, does he think he is invincible?"

The eldest son Shi Haoran said: "I think it's not that Long Chengen is arrogant, but that there is no one in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to use."

"Long Cheng'en attacks our Great Xia, Nanliang will definitely send troops to attack, and Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi must go to the south to defend."

"The empress must sit in the capital. If the situation is critical, she must go to the south to guard."

"So, the only masters that Da Zhou can use are Zhang Qian and a few people."

Shi Haoran felt that there was no one available in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, that's why he did this.

Hussar General Fu Yong agreed with Shi Haoran's statement.

"What the prince said is true. The victory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in these years was all due to Long Chengen's tricks."

"If you talk about masters, there really aren't many in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Long Chengen has no one to use, so he can only rely on himself."

"But even if Long Chengen's whole body is made of iron, how many nails can he drive?"

"When the time comes for the five of us to attack, Long Chengen will definitely lose."

Fu Yong's estimate is very optimistic, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this battle is starting.

Lu Qichang greeted Qi: "Is there any other information?"

Hou Qi hesitated and said, "There is one more bad news."

Lu Qichang's face turned cold, and he asked in a panic, "What's the matter?"

Lu Qichang was worried that Long Chen would show up again.

Hou Qi said: "The tenants around Zhenguo Temple have all gone to Zhenguo Temple to join the army, and they want to help Long Chengen fight."

Lu Qichang looked surprised, and the others also felt strange, why did the tenants support Long Chen and help him fight the war?

Hearing this, Shi Le was furious, and cursed: "These untouchables have nothing to do with me. I have no soldiers to use, but they defected to the enemy and treasoned the country. I killed them all!"

Hou Qi bowed and said: "The last general will lead the decree!"

Hou Qi was about to go out to deliver an order, Kong Ji got up to stop him.

"Wait a minute! Your Majesty, there must be something wrong here!"

"Do you know why those tenants joined Long Cheng'en?"

Kong Ji was calmer and immediately stopped Shi Le.

Others disagreed in their hearts, but Shi Le was so angry that they dared not stop him.

Shi Le leaned back on the chair, glaring at Hou Qi and not speaking.

Hou Qi turned around and came back, bowed to Kong Ji: "Master, Long Cheng'en ordered that the surrounding hundred miles of land that originally belonged to Zhenguo Temple belong to the tenants who cultivated it!"

"Those tenants were worried that the land would be taken back, so they helped Long Chengen fight the war."

Kong Ji nodded slightly, and said to Shi Le: "Your Majesty, these tenants are not relying on Long Cheng'en, they are just ungrateful for profit."

"The poor monk suggested that the following king's order should be given to all the tenants of the Zhenguo Temple who are willing to join the army and fight, and give them the land!"

"Long Cheng'en is an enemy general from outside after all, and the king is the king of Daxia. The name of the king is justified, and the tenants must obey the king and join the war!"

The eldest son Shi Haoran objected, saying: "The land is owned by Zhenguo Temple, and it is also owned by my Great Xia Royal Court. How can I give it to these untouchables?"

"They are the people of Daxia, and it is their duty to fight with their father, why should they be given land!"

Tenants are at the bottom of society, and there is no place for them to stand. Shi Haoran looks down on tenants.

In Shi Haoran's view, tenants are born to fight for the royal family, there is no need to give any benefits!

The privy envoy Lu Qichang was a relative, and he also looked down on the tenants, so he agreed: "If the tenants are given the land, they will be willing to fight, then how will they rule the Great Xia in the future!"

"Does the land have to be distributed to the tenants every time there is a war? How much land do we have to distribute?"

"The land of Zhenguo Temple was distributed today, and the land of Zhaoti Temple should be distributed tomorrow. What about the day after? Are you going to divide the official land of the king?"

The hussar general Fu Yong and Li Chenglie, the commander of the army, also disagreed.

These people all have large tracts of land and are proper big landlords.

They are unwilling to share the land, for fear of cutting their own flesh in the end.

Kong Ji glanced at Shi Le anxiously, and said to everyone: "This is just an emergency measure. Give the land for now, and take it back after repelling Long Cheng'en."

"Now that land is not in our hands, even if it is given, it is just a lip service. It will not hurt us, but it will allow the tenants to fight for us!"

"Even if the tenants don't join the war, at least they won't take refuge in Long Cheng'en! This is an expedient measure, not a long-term one! Please adopt it, Your Majesty!"

As Kong Ji said so, Shi Haoran and his group stopped talking.

They neither object nor agree.

Waiting for Shi Le to decide.

Shi Le thought about it again and again, and said: "What the national teacher said is reasonable, it's not to give the land to those untouchables, it's just a stopgap measure."

"Decree that the land of Zhenguo Temple will be given to the tenants, but each household must send a soldier to assemble in Yangcheng immediately."

Now the biggest enemy is Long Chen, as long as it can kill Long Chen, anything will do.

The land is given to the tenants just for talk, and it will be taken back after the war is over.

Not only do they have to take it back, but they also have to kill a group of these unscrupulous people, let them know who is the king of Xixia, and they will die if they eat inside and outside!

Hou Qi bowed and said: "The last general will lead the decree!"

Wait to ride out, and continue to discuss in the hall.

"Long Chengen's generals have arrived, and our troops are almost assembled. It's time to fight Long Chengen."

Shi Le really wanted to fight Long Chen head-on, to vent his anger.

Li Chenglie, the commander of the army, said: "In two days, our soldiers and horses can be assembled, and then we can go to Zhenguo Temple to have a showdown!"

Shi Haoran was eager to try, and said loudly: "Last time I didn't kill Long Chengen, this time I will behead this beast with my own hands!"

Last time, Shi Haoran fought against Long Chen, and he suffered a disadvantage.

After returning home, Shi Haoran practiced martial arts hard, and his strength improved a lot.

If there is another fight with Long Chen, Shi Haoran feels that he is sure to win, and he can even kill Long Chen!

Seeing Shi Haoran's self-confidence, Kong Ji disapproved in his heart.

Kong Ji asked Fuhui about the situation at that time in detail, and Deshan was cut in half by Long Chen's sword, the situation was too weird.

Long Chen's cultivation must have been greatly improved. If Shi Haoran and Long Chen were singled out, the final result might be...

"My son's cultivation has soared now, and he will definitely be able to suppress Long Chengen!"

Li Chenglie, the commander of the army, flattered him, and Shi Haoran was gearing up.

Shi Le nodded slightly, and said: "Rectify the troops and horses, and prepare for the attack! Two days later, send troops to suppress the National Temple!"

Everyone worshiped: "The humble minister leads the decree!"

When the crowd dispersed, the privy envoy Lu Qichang reluctantly wrote a letter back to the Privy Council of Xingqing City, saying that Shi Le ordered the second princess Shi Jingxiang to form a women's army to fight.

...

Hou Qi led the order out of the prefect's mansion, rode his horse and rushed through the gate of the city, and a carriage just entered the city.

The guard stopped the carriage and asked, "What are you doing! Get out of the carriage!"

An old groom with a round face and toothless put down his whip immediately, and said with a smile, "Master Jun, it's me, from the Ma's Restaurant."

The defender pointed to another thin man with a mouse beard and asked, "Who is he?"
