From eunuch to emperor

"The lower officials don't know, the Holy Majesty is waiting in Fengming Palace."

Di Wan'er was very envious and wanted to play like this.

Di Luoxi gently pushed Long Chen, and said: "Go, it must be a big deal for the queen mother to find you."

Long Chen straightened his clothes, took a piece of fruit, and followed Di Wan'er out of the West Palace.

After walking through several corridors, the snow outside has not melted, and it is a bit cold.

Di Wan'er twisted her waist and walked in front, looking back at Long Chen behind her from the corner of her eye from time to time.

It could be seen that this Di Wan'er was thinking deeply.

Long Chen took two steps, caught up with Di Wan'er, put his arms around him, and said with a smile, "Master Di, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Di Wan'er twisted her waist in resistance, and said slightly angrily: "General Long, please respect yourself."

Long Chen pushed Di Wan'er against the wall, and smiled wearily: "I won't, what can you do."

Di Wan'er looked around anxiously, but found no one, so she blushed and said, "Let go of me, I'm calling someone."

But I was thinking in my heart: Hurry up while there is no one!

Long Chen picked up a fruit in his hand, put it in his mouth, and blocked Di Wan'er's mouth.

When the fruit was put into Di Wan'er's mouth, Long Chen said with a grin, "Stop shouting now?"

Di Wan'er said angrily, "I hate it."

Long Chen walked towards Fengming Palace with Di Wan'er in his arms.

At the gate of the palace, seeing Yingfeng from afar, Di Wan'er quickly broke away from Long Chen's hand.

"The Holy One is waiting inside."

Yingfeng led Long Chen to go inside, and when she turned her head she saw Di Wan'er eating something, with a happy smile on her face.

"What did you eat?"

Yingfeng asked suspiciously in a low voice.

Long Chen pretended to be puzzled and asked: "What did we eat? What us?"

Yingfeng thinks about it too, Di Wan'er eats, what's the matter with Longchen.

When I arrived at the imperial study room, there was a pile of scriptures on the Empress' case, and she was constantly flipping through them.

"My minister pays homage to the Holy Majesty."

Long Chen bowed and bowed.

The empress is dressed very solemnly today, with a golden phoenix robe and a golden phoenix hairpin on her head, and she concentrates on flipping through the scriptures.

Long Chen carefully looked at the scriptures on the case, they were all Buddhist scriptures, similar to some he had read, yet different.

"Do you understand Buddhist scriptures?"

The empress put down the scriptures and asked.

Long Chen thought for a while and said, "Know a thing or two."

Long Chen is more familiar with the classics of the Taoist sect, and the Buddhist scriptures are just dabbled in, so it can't be said that he understands them very well.

"That's proficiency!"

The female emperor's eyes lit up, and motioned for Long Chen to sit down beside her.

"Wei Chen really only knows a thing or two."

Long Chen sat down and told the truth.

There are so many Buddhist classics, including the Ahan category, the Prajna category, the Fahua category, and the Huayan category... Long Chen is not a god, so he dare not say he is proficient.

"Don't be humble. If you say you don't understand, you know a little bit. If you say you know a little bit, you are proficient!"

Long Chen was shocked. It turned out that in the eyes of the empress, he was a man like a god... Eunuch?

"have a look."

The empress handed a letter of credence to Long Chen.

"Next month, Xixia will send a special envoy. In addition to submitting the Xixia king's credentials, they also asked to discuss Buddhism with us."

"This special envoy is a disciple of Monk Kongji. It is said that he is born with the roots of wisdom and is extremely intelligent. His Buddhism and martial arts are first-class in Xixia."

"Such a formidable opponent, after much deliberation, you are the only one who can take on such a powerful opponent."

Long Chen opened the letter of credence and read it. It was a letter written by Shi Le, the king of Xixia, saying that he congratulated the great Zhou on its growing national power, and at the same time hoped that the alliance would last forever.

Of course, these are all nonsense.

News came from Xichang that Xixia and Nanliang had secretly formed an alliance to target Eastern Zhou together.

Xixia sent a special envoy for two purposes:

The first is to explore the reality of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty fought several big battles in a row. Although they won every battle, there must have been a loss of national strength. They wanted to inquire about it.

The second is to explore Long Chen's reality.

In more than three years, from a small eunuch to a first-rank Flying Dragon General, defeated Nanliang, and killed several Wuhuang powerhouses, Xixia must want to figure out such a sudden rise.

"The Holy Majesty has promoted the humble minister, and there are many talents in the court. I am just an eunuch."

Long Chen felt refreshed: Is Lao Tzu so awesome in the empress's heart?

The Empress smiled slightly and signaled Yingfeng to go out.

Yingfeng withdrew from the imperial study, leaving only Long Chen behind.

"You don't need to pretend in front of me. This Mojie is the proud disciple of Monk Kong Ji. It is said that he has broken through the realm of Emperor Wu in retreat and is very powerful."

"Sending Mojie this time, in addition to inquiring about our reality, also has the meaning of showing off and demonstrating."

The empress lay down in Long Chen's arms.

"So... business is over?"

Long Chen asked tentatively.

The empress closed her eyes, smiled slightly at the corners of her mouth, and said, "What do you think?"

Now that the business is done, it's time for the unscrupulous.

Long Chen took off the golden step, his black hair fell down, and he untied the golden phoenix robe...

...

Come out from Fengming Palace.

Seeing Long Chen's happy face, Yingfeng asked, "What did the Holy Majesty tell you? Are you so happy?"

Long Chen smiled and said: "The Holy Majesty said that the Long Shuai Mansion has been completed, and I will celebrate it in three days, and she will come in person."

Long Shuai Mansion has been rushing to work. I heard that the general supervisor has found a group of skilled craftsmen, and the construction speed is very fast.

"Congratulations on opening a mansion and building a government office!"

Yingfeng was also happy for Long Chen.

Long Chen smiled and hugged Yingfeng: "It's just that it will be inconvenient for us in the future."

Yingfeng quickly took Long Chen's hand away, and said, "Tsk...why doesn't it matter the occasion."

Long Chen giggled and said: "Then shall I go to your yard?"

Yingfeng whispered: "Today I am on duty, tomorrow you come."

Long Chen left Fengming Palace with a smile, and returned to Qiuxing Palace.

After closing the door, just as Long Chen sat down, Feng He came in from the window.

After brushing off the snowflakes from his body, Feng He sat on the kang and sighed, "It's still warm here, sir. I've been running outside all day, and I'm suffering from the cold."

Feng He is from Nanliang, and he is not used to the coldness of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

"How's it going?"

Feng He poured himself a bowl of hot tea, drank more than half of it, and said, "Xiao Ling has a few subordinates, and they all got rid of them."

"But there is a strange thing. I learned from them that Rushuang is controlled by Xiaoling, but Rushuang seems to be Nanliang's dark son."

Long Chen was confused, and asked: "What does it mean that Rushuang is controlled by Xiaoling, and Rushuang is Nanliang's secret son? Rushuang is a multi-faceted spy?"

Multi-faceted spies are very common, selling information on both sides and receiving benefits on both sides.

Feng He shook his head and said, "No, what I mean is that Rushuang was sent by Nanliang, but was controlled by Xiaoling."

Long Chen was very surprised, and asked: "Aren't Xiao Ling and Ru Shuang in the same group?"

Feng He shook his head and said: "Those subordinates don't know much, I can only infer this: Nanliang sent Rushuang to the capital to do things, but was controlled by Xiaoling, and Xiaoling is someone else's pawn."

Long Chen asked: "Who is Xiao Ling's mastermind behind the scenes? Isn't it Zhe Hua Xian?"

Feng He shook his head and said, "I can't answer this question, the clue is broken."

I didn't expect things to be so complicated, so there was a problem with the original guess.

"Leave this alone, maybe there will be clues in the future, where is the little girl who sells flowers? Have you checked it out?"

What Long Chen asked was Ya'er.
