From eunuch to emperor

"My minister thinks that Master Li's words are justified. When Jing Tianlie was so powerful, who would not be attached to him? And some ministers who did not attach themselves were retaliated against. It is really helpless."

"If they are all cleared, I am afraid that innocent people will be accidentally injured, and it will also cause turmoil in the court."

"Therefore, I suggest that only those with bad deeds and officials with important positions should be purged, and that they should be announced to the world, and no further investigation will be carried out, lest Jing Tianlie use this to blackmail the minister."

In fact, Long Chen and Jing Tianlie had no personal enmity, from the beginning to the end, Long Chen was killing the members of the Jing family, and the one who suffered was Jing Tianlie.

As a first-rank Flying Dragon General in the court, Long Chen had to consider the stability of the court, not just a moment's speed.

The empress nodded slightly, and said: "General Long speaks fairly, what do you love me think?"

The ministers of the court and the central government felt that Long Chen acted fairly and did not take the opportunity to avenge his personal revenge.

Li Yizheng, a veteran of the cabinet, praised: "General Long is a real man of the country, he speaks and acts fairly, and I admire him."

The court ministers had no objection, so the empress said: "Okay, let the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigate the people who have important positions and evil deeds, and the rest will let the past go!"

The ministers bowed together: "The Holy One is wise!"

After discussing the matter of rebellion, Wang Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "Your Majesty, Jing Tianlie's family members are still detained in the prison of the Ministry of War. How should we deal with it?"

Jing Tianlie's mother is still locked in the cell, these people can be beheaded logically.

Hu Chengfu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, came out to show his loyalty, saying: "Jing Tianlie treasoned the country, and I thought that the family members should be beheaded! And the family members of the soldiers of the Red Flame Army who defected, all of them are not slaves!"

The empress was a little embarrassed, the old lady was the wife of a meritorious official and the mother of a traitor, so it was difficult to deal with.

The Red Flame Army has left [-]. If the family members are dealt with, the scope of attack will be too wide.

Long Chen came out and bowed: "My lord, a gentleman is always the heir of a man. Jing Tianlie is guilty and has nothing to do with the old lady. My servant, please send Jing Tianlie's family to Xixia to show the benevolence of the sage."

"As for the soldiers of the Red Flame Army, they were also coerced by Jing Tianlie, and I thought it was inappropriate to deal with them."

It is useless to kill Jing Tianlie's family members, there are too many soldiers' family members, dealing with these people will only reduce the population of Da Zhou.

Send Jing Tianlie's family members to Xixia to show the soldiers of the Chiyan Army. Jing Tianlie's family is reunited, but they are separated, which can shake the morale of the army.

The empress immediately understood Long Chen's meaning, nodded and said: "Okay, let's deal with it like this, send Jing Tianlie's family to Xixia, but the family members of the Chi Yan soldiers will not deal with it, tell them, if they come back, I will let it go!"

Hu Chengfu, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, returned to the train angrily.

The court ministers felt that Jing Tianlie was too cheap to deal with it like this, but Long Chen had already said it, so they couldn't say anything more.

The court meeting ended, the Empress returned to the inner court, Long Chen and Emperor Luoxi returned to the West Palace.

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War immediately began to clean up the relationship with Jing Tianlie.

Wang He, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Zhong, Minister of Honglu Temple, and Hu Chengfu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, were all included in the clean-up list, and many high-ranking officials' seats were vacated at once.

Long Chen is already a rank one Flying Dragon General at this time, so naturally he won't fight for these seats.

Fengming Palace.

The second princess, Di Xingwan, wore a sable fur and entered the imperial study room, while the empress was reviewing military newspapers from various places.

Gongsun Ming did a good job in Linjiang City, he was quick to learn, and there was Li Xiannan in Quarry City.

On the side of Jade Buddha Pass, Wu Jian has 20 Long Family troops guarding it, and Xifeng City is under full construction, which is equivalent to an extra fortress to the west.

After reading the military newspaper, and then looking at the recommendation list of the Ministry of Officials, all vacant official positions must be filled.

"Mother."

Di Xingwan smiled and sat down beside the empress.

"What's the bad idea again? The vacancies this time are all important positions, so don't mess around."

Knowing a daughter is like a mother, the empress knows Di Xingwan's evil plan.

"Empress... I don't have any bad ideas, I just want to share the worries of the empress."

"Look, mother, the fourth sister has done so much for the mother, and the son can't do anything in the palace."

Compared to Di Luoxi, Di Xingwan was indeed overshadowed.

Ever since getting Long Chen, Emperor Luoxi has made great achievements repeatedly, including capturing Linjiang City, seizing Caishi City, suppressing pirates, and defeating Jing Tianlie.

However, Di Xingwan could only play with poems in the harem, and it was no match for Long Chen's casually recited poems.

The empress smiled and said: "You don't need to compare with Luo Xi, she has Long Cheng'en in her hand."

Di Xingwan said unwillingly: "I know that Long Chengen is a rare and unique talent, and now I also have a powerful eunuch."

The empress hugged Di Xingwan and said with a smile: "You mean the eunuch named Tianze, right?"

The empress knew about Nangong's affairs, and she heard that Tianze was very smart and was good at pleasing the girls in the harem.

"What job do you want?"

The empress couldn't resist, Di Xingwan had been pestering her for a long time.

If you don't give a position, I'm afraid the Emperor Star Gala will always be entangled.

Di Xingwan giggled and said, "Thank you, Empress! My son wants the post of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

The smile on the empress's face suddenly froze, and she said seriously: "The position of Shangshu is very important, how can I give it to you so easily."

As the prime ministers of the six ministries, Shang Shu has a very important position, especially the Ministry of Punishment, which is in charge of the world's criminal prisons. If he employs improper personnel, it will lead to unjust, false and wrong cases and the death of innocent people.

Di Xingwan said aggrievedly: "Long Chengen was able to hold two ministers at the beginning, and he was still a big yamen like the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, and his ministers only needed one Ministry of Punishment."

The Empress shook her head and said, "No way! The position of Shangshu has a lot to do with it, so don't give it to others lightly."

Di Xingwan burst into tears, and cried: "The queen mother is partial to the fourth younger sister. Long Chengen can do anything, but the son-in-law can't do anything."

The empress couldn't see her daughter weeping, and explained: "Long Cheng'en made great achievements at the beginning, so he was named Shangshu. On that day, Zewu had no merits, so he was suddenly named Shangshu. How can I convince everyone?"

Long Chen defeated Yu Shinan, fought for the Great Zhou, and was later named the general manager; after capturing Linjiang City, he was named the minister.

Di Xingwan wept and said: "Your minister can take over temporarily. If Tianze does not do well, this minister can resign. If he does well, his mother will formally appoint him later."

The empress had no choice but to say: "It's just a trustee, if you don't do well, you can't argue anymore."

Only then did Di Xingwan wipe away his tears, and said, "Your servant leads the order."

The empress touched Di Xingwan's head and sighed, "It's still the same, how old is it."

Di Xing got the imperial decree late, and was very happy in his heart. He talked with the empress for a long time before returning to Nangong.

Walking to the corridor, I saw Long Chen walking towards the East Palace on the snow.

Di Xingwan stopped, looked at Long Chen's back, and sighed faintly: "Fourth sister is lucky, Tianze, you must live up to it."

Dixing returned to Nangong at night.

Long Chen stepped on the snow and walked towards the East Palace, there was a creaking sound under his feet, He Ningxin led the way in a black cloak.

"Sister Ningxin, why haven't you come to Qiuxing Palace recently?"

Long Chen laughed and teased.

This He Ningxin is the kind of woman who pretends to be very serious. She is always serious and looks dignified.

When such a woman is teased, she looks even more coquettish and interesting.

He Ningxin looked serious, and said: "There are many things in the East Palace, and the eldest princess has tasks to explain from time to time, so she must not idle around."

The surface is very serious, but the heart is always restless. When walking, he deliberately twists his waist, wears a slim dress, and puts makeup on his face.

Long Chen has been used to hanging out with women in the harem these years, so he doesn't understand He Ningxin's thoughts.

Walking half a step faster, Long Chen came to He Ningxin's side, put his hand into the cloak, wrapped his arms around his waist, and teased through the clothes: "Sister Ningxin is really, she only cares about doing things for the princess and doesn't miss me? "

He Ning was ashamed and joyful, pretending to push Long Chen, and said seriously: "What are you doing, the public is molesting me."

Long Chen hugged him even tighter, and said with a smile: "I'll be molested, what do you think?"

He Ningxin blushed, her breathing became slightly short of breath, and she feigned anger and said, "I'll tell the eldest princess that you molested me."

Long Chen pretended to be afraid, and said: "Sister Ningxin, please don't, if the eldest princess finds out, there will be a dispute."

He Ningxin scolded softly: "You also know that you are afraid, so you still don't let go!"

Long Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Anyway, if you want to sue, if I don't indecently insult you, it won't be in vain to bear the notoriety."

Saying that, Long Chen hugged He Ningxin tightly with his left hand, not letting her escape, quickly reached in with his right hand, and did all the indecent things.

He Ningxin was struggling, but at the same time enjoying herself, she specially put on makeup and changed clothes when she went out, just to win Long Chen's favor.

But now that she has entered the East Palace, if she is bumped into, Di Yuwei will definitely punish her severely.

"Master Long, please stop, I beg you, if I am seen, I will be beaten to death."

He Ningxin begged in a low voice.

Long Chen said with a smile: "If you say 'husband spare your life', I will spare you."

He Ning felt ashamed and angry, so she could only whisper: "Husband, please forgive me..."

Long Chen smiled and said, "I didn't hear that."

He Ningxin begged again in a low voice: "Good husband, please spare my family."

Only then did Long Chen stop, and said with a smile: "Remember, I am my sister's husband."

He Ning was extremely ashamed, and scolded coquettishly, "Shameless thief."

Long Chen smiled and said: "The princess is waiting, my good lady, don't lead the way yet."

He Ning tidied her clothes carefully, took a few sharp breaths of cold air to restore her flushed face, and then brought Long Chen into the East Palace.

Pushing open the door of the room, I saw Di Yuwei wearing a plain cheongsam, sitting next to the stove, with a pot of tea brewing.

"Princess, Lord Long has arrived."
