From eunuch to emperor

Although he knew that Jing Tianlie would come back sooner or later, and the conflict between Long Chen and the Jing family would be resolved sooner or later, but when Jing Tianlie really came back, Emperor Luoxi still felt dizzy.

"Isn't he guarding the Jade Buddha Pass? Why did he come back suddenly?"

Xuan Yi felt strange.

Jade Buddha Pass is the gateway where the Eastern Zhou and Xixia faced each other, with Xixia to the west and Eastern Zhou to the east.

Long Chen said: "Xixia has always listened to what the Tianxiahui said, I asked the Tianxiahui to take good care of Xixia, so Jade Buddha Pass was calm, and Jing Tianlie came back."

In the past, the relationship between Eastern Zhou and Xixia was tense, and war could break out in the west at any time, Jing Tianlie had to guard the border.

Now that the situation has eased, Jing Tianlie can return to court to deal with Long Chen.

"It turned out that we helped him."

Qingyue muttered.

Di Luoxi also didn't want to see Jing Tianlie, but as a princess, she couldn't deliberately conflict with Xixia in order to contain Jing Tianlie.

Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous, this time, we are the hunters and he is the prey."

Di Luoxi reminded: "Jing Heng is an idiot, but Jing Tianlie is not. This man has high martial arts skills and a cunning mind. You have to be careful when dealing with him."

Long Chen smiled and said: "I know, strategically we must despise the enemy, tactically we must pay attention to the enemy, be bold and careful."

It doesn't need to be reminded by Emperor Luoxi, who can become a great general of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and even give face to the empress, such a person is of course powerful.

When Long Chen was in Nanliang, he deliberately analyzed Jing Tianlie's character and weaknesses. This person is powerful, but if a person is too powerful, he will be overconfident.

Di Luoxi was still very worried, got up and wanted to go to Fengming Palace: "I want to tell the queen mother, just in case you are in danger."

Long Chen stopped Di Luoxi, and said: "What do you say? Tell Jing Tianlie not to kill me? This time the chess player is the Holy Master, and I am the forward chess piece. You let me hide behind?"

The Empress wanted to weaken the power of the General's Mansion, but she couldn't do it herself, and it was Long Chen who confronted Jing Tianlie head-on.

How could the vanguard general hide behind his back?

Zhang Qian said: "Jing Tianlie is at the Holy Majesty's place."

Di Luoxi sat back cross-legged, constantly thinking about how to deal with Jing Tianlie.

"Princess, you can't get involved in this matter, I will do everything."

Long Chen said very solemnly.

Di Luoxi got angry, and said, "I won't get involved? See you die?"

Long Chen was speechless: "You look down on me so much?"

"The princess must avoid danger in this matter. If the princess intervenes in this matter, it will represent the royal family's discord with the Jing family."

"Even if Jing Tianlie and I have a falling out, it's still a political struggle between ministers, which is normal."

Di Luoxi is just hot-tempered, not unreasonable.

When Long Chen said this, Di Luoxi naturally knew.

"Then be careful, Jing Tianlie is very difficult to deal with."

Di Luoxi could only sigh and agree.

Long Chen got up and said: "I'll go back and prepare."

Long Chen got out of bed, put on his shoes and went out, Zhang Qian followed.

Di Luoxi immediately ordered Xuanyi and Qingyue: "The two of you will follow Long Cheng'en during this period, and you will never leave. Even if you are sleeping, you have to hug me tightly! Don't make any mistakes!"

Xuanyi and Qingyue followed immediately.

...

Fengming Palace Study Room.

The empress sat behind the counter, and a general stood in front of her.

This man is tall and tall, with a square face, a pair of red phoenix eyes that are not angry and majestic, wearing a red armor with flames painted on it, a saber hanging around his waist, and the cloak on his body has not been taken off.

This person is Jing Tianlie, the Great General of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

"The last general pays homage to the Holy Majesty."

Jing Tianlie just bowed his hands and did not bow down like other ministers.

"The general is free, and I will give you a seat!"

Yingfeng moved the chair over and sat down opposite the Empress.

"The general returned to court, why didn't he say anything, is the Jade Buddha pass okay?"

The empress's voice was flat, without anger or anger, but it meant accountability.

The general is guarding the border, how can he come back immediately!

Jing Tianlie said with an apologetic tone: "The last general is guilty. He just rushed back because he received a letter from his family a few days ago saying that his mother was seriously ill."

"The last general shouldn't leave his post without authorization, so he will ask the Holy One for sin as soon as he comes back."

The empress frowned and asked Yingfeng: "Is Mrs. Xu seriously ill? How could I not know?"

Jing Tianlie's old mother has been taken care of by people from the imperial hospital, giving the best imperial physician and the best medicine.

If Mrs. Xu was ill, the Empress would intervene in person to show her preferential treatment to Jing Tianlie.

Yingfeng was also surprised, and replied: "My subordinates have never heard that the old lady is unwell."

Jing Tianlie was slightly surprised and said: "Maybe my mother doesn't want to disturb the Holy Majesty, there are too many affairs in the court these days, the minister has been changed, and several big battles have been fought."

After saying this, the atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate.

Changing Shangshu means replacing his son Jing Heng.

There were several big battles fought, so naturally they were talking about the two battles in which Long Chen captured Linjiang City.

Yingfeng's expression changed slightly at the side, but the Empress's expression remained the same, and she said: "That's right, there are too many things going on in the court recently, maybe I'm negligent."

"The general will go back to the mansion to visit first, and we will talk about things later in the meeting."

"Yingfeng, arrange for the imperial physician to go with the general, these people are really, the old lady is unwell, I don't know, please reprimand me for me!"

Jing Tianlie started the conversation, but the empress didn't answer it, she just passed it lightly.

Yingfeng bowed and said: "This subordinate obeys the order."

Jing Tianlie got up and said: "The last general will retire."

The empress didn't answer, and Jing Tianlie didn't say anything either.

Jing Tianlie left Fengming Palace to go home, Yingfeng immediately arranged for the imperial physician to go there.

Yingfeng returned to Fengming Palace and said: "Your Majesty, Jing Tianlie came back this time and brought three thousand elite cavalry with him. This is a malicious intention."

The empress looked calm and did not look angry.

"What's the use of three thousand cavalry, it's just a demonstration, let him."

The [-] elite soldiers near Daughter City are directly under the command of the Empress, and Jing Tianlie's [-] cavalry are useless.

In Jing Tianlie's doing so, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning.

"The subordinates just asked the imperial hospital, and the imperial physician ordered that Mrs. Xu's bones are fine, and this Jing Tianlie is deceiving the king."

When Yingfeng arranged for the imperial physician, she asked about the situation by the way, and the imperial physician ordered that Mrs. Xu was in good health.

The empress smiled and said: "He said he was seriously ill, so he was seriously ill, it doesn't matter."

Yingfeng was dissatisfied, but with the Empress' attitude, she couldn't say much.

"Do you want to remind Long Chengen?"

Yingfeng asked.

What was said just now, Jing Tianlie has already started targeting Long Chen.

The empress shook her head and smiled, "He still needs you to remind me?"

Yingfeng thinks about it too, in terms of cunning, Long Chen is as treacherous as a ghost.

Jing Tianlie came out of the palace with a gloomy face, and a dozen or so armored soldiers were waiting outside the palace, each with brutal and fierce eyes.

What is particularly conspicuous is the flame pattern on the armor, which is the symbol of the Jing family's Red Flame Army.

Jing Tianlie came out, and the soldiers hurried up.

Just as he was about to get on his horse and leave, a carriage stopped in front of him, and the soldiers immediately held down their swords.

The curtain was lifted, and a woman in white mink fur with carefully painted makeup came down.

"When the general came back, he didn't tell me anything."

This person is Bai Qiulian, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Knowing that Jing Tianlie is back, Bai Qiulian hastily put on makeup to meet him.

Seeing Bai Qiulian, Jing Tianlie's gloomy face turned into a full of smiles, as if he had met an old friend.

"Qiulian is more and more radiant."

Hearing Jing Tianlie's praise, Bai Qiulian's smile widened, and he said with a shy smile, "How can it compare to the mighty general."

Jing Tianlie glanced at the palace gate and said: "You and I are in the same car, talk slowly."

Old Bai Qiulian blushed, and laughed softly, "It couldn't be better."
