The strongest nine thousand years old

Chapter 44: Skeletons? OK!

"Sir Shangshu, please come in." Chen Dong sneered.

The Minister of Personnel exhaled a deep breath and took off his official hat, "I am old, not a skeleton."

Chen Dong looked at Wei Liang again and said sarcastically, "Master Yushi, won't you run away?"

Wei Liang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "As a minister of Great Yan, I will live and die with Great Yan!"

Wei Liang bowed to Yan Yunzheng and said, "I am willing to protect Yanjing City with Your Majesty!"

There was a flash of surprise in Chen Dong's eyes. He didn't expect that Wei Liang had such integrity when it came to major issues.

"What do the other adults say? Do you want the official hat or your head? If you don't make a choice now, you will have no choice later!" Chen Dong looked around at the others.

Under his gaze, the boneless ministers, like the Minister of Personnel, took off their black hats one after another and said, "I am old, I am not a skeleton."

These people together make up half of the population in the hall!

Yan Yunzheng's chest rose and fell sharply, he gritted his teeth, his face was ashen, and he shouted angrily: "Get out! Get out!"

Chen Dong looked at Yuwen Qing who remained silent, "General Yuwen, what about you?"

Yuwen Qing was silent.

After Chen Dong entered the palace, Yuwen Qing had been observing him.

Although Chen Dong was only a small eunuch, he must have extraordinary abilities to become Yan Yunzheng's confidant.

Yuwen Qing didn't believe that the other party would openly announce the news of the defeat in the northern border in the meeting hall.

However, Yan Yunzheng's anger was very real, not like he knew the news in advance or was acting with Chen Dong.

Yuwen Qing is a rough but meticulous person. He has been thinking about whether the defeat in the northern border is true or not.

Since Xiao Li completely blocked the city gates and cut off the news, no one knew what the current situation in the North was.

Although the eyes sent out did not see the barbarian soldiers, the tragic situation in the north was the same as Chen Dong described.

The barbarian soldiers are coming with great momentum, can Youzhou City be defended?

Yu Wenqing's mind raced, and he decided to take a gamble. Moreover, even if he lost the bet, he was sure he could protect himself.

"I will obey your majesty's orders." Yu Wenqing said word by word, "Defend Yanjing City to the death!"

Everyone was shocked. No one expected that Yuwen Qing would be on the same side as Yan Yunzheng.

The Minister of Personnel said anxiously: "Yuwen Qing, you'd better ask the head of the Yuwen family before making a decision!"

Yuwen Qing said calmly: "I will be the next head of the Yuwen family. I don't need to ask anyone, so you don't need to worry about it."

Although the Minister of Personnel was also from the Yuwen family, he took the position himself and went against Yan Yunzheng, which made Yuwen Qing think that the other party was stupid.

Yuwen Qing made his attitude clear, and the faces of those officials who had taken off their official hats were very interesting, as if they had been stabbed in the back.

What made them even more uncomfortable was that Yuwen Liang and Xiao Li actually entered the palace together.

"General Yuwen Liang."

"General Xiao Li."

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

The Minister of Personnel blurted out: "Xiao Li, you are not dead?"

Xiao Li said coldly: "I am alive and well, it is the barbarians who are dead!"

The official's face suddenly changed, as if he had opened a dyeing factory. He had already understood that Chen Dong had already dug a trap for him, but he foolishly jumped into it!

The other adults were not stupid either. They also realized that they had fallen into Chen Dong's trap.

"Chen Dong, you eunuch have evil intentions!"

"There is nothing wrong in the North, but you say the North is defeated. What's your intention?"

"Your Majesty, please kill this man to set things right!"

The adults who were fooled by Chen Dong pointed at his nose and cursed him.

There were also smart people who secretly picked up the black hat on the ground, pretended nothing had happened, and hid in the corner.

Yan Yunzheng also knew that he had been fooled by Chen Dong, and he made up his mind to severely "punish" this bastard at night.

"General Xiao, what's the current situation in the northern border?" Yan Yunzheng asked worriedly.

Xiao Li sighed deeply, "The Zhenbei Army suffered heavy casualties, and the civilians were even more dead and wounded. Except for Youzhou City, which is still intact, those small villages and towns have almost become wasteland!"

Yan Yunzheng was silent for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "The barbarian deserves death!"

"Eunuch Chen anticipated the enemy's moves and gave me three magic bags when I went to the northern border. I followed his advice and finally repelled the barbarians, killing more than ten thousand enemies!" Xiao Li raised his voice and said excitedly.

"A brilliant plan? Killing over ten thousand enemies?" Yan Yunzheng's body shook, and he looked at Chen Dong in shock.

Chen Dong did mention the three magic bags, but she didn't expect that these three magic bags actually helped Xiao Li defend the northern border and kill over ten thousand enemies!

Yu Wenqing stared at Chen Dong, a strange look flashed in his eyes, "This little eunuch is really extraordinary!"

The same was true for the others. They had never expected that a young eunuch could actually understand the art of war and be able to plan and win a battle thousands of miles away!

"Impossible! How can a eunuch know the art of war!" The Minister of Personnel blurted out. He stared at Chen Dong with resentment. This kid was simply screwing him over!

Yu Wenliang snorted, "I have personally seen the military book written by Eunuch Chen, The Thirty-Six Stratagems of Chen. With Eunuch Chen's ability, he is comparable to the military strategists of more than 300 years ago!"

"The military strategist among the hundreds of schools of thought?"

"Military strategist? Impossible!"

"A eunuch can actually inherit the military tradition!"

"Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!"

Not only the Minister of Personnel, but everyone else also couldn't believe that Chen Dong, a mere eunuch, actually knew the art of war!

"The Yuwen family is so cruel!" The Minister of Personnel gnashed his teeth and glared at Yuwen Qing, with hatred flashing in his eyes.

In his opinion, Yuwen Liang's support for Chen Dong must have been instructed by the Yuwen family. It was not surprising that Yuwen Qing had just supported Yan Yunzheng.

This is a joint drama between the Yuwen family and Yan Yunzheng, the purpose is to purge them!

The Minister of Personnel was furious, and his eyes looked as if he wanted to eat Yuwen Qing, Chen Dong and others alive.

Yuwen Qing glanced at Yuwen Liang and frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the other party would support Chen Dong. However, on the surface, he certainly had to maintain the face of the Yuwen family.

"My Yuwen family has always been loyal to Your Majesty and to Dayan." Yuwen Qing said calmly, "My Yuwen family will not get involved in other matters."

Although Chen Dong regretted that Yuwen Qing did not jump into the trap, he was already very satisfied that he could trick so many people at once.

"Sir Shangshu, oh, no, where did this old man come from?" Chen Dong pretended to be puzzled and said, "Everyone present here is a loyal minister of Dayan, how did an old man sneak in?"

"General Yuwen, do you know him?"

Yuwen Qing shook his head indifferently.

"Someone, come! Throw this old man out and don't pollute this sacred place!"

"You!" The Minister of Personnel pointed at Chen Dong who was pressing him step by step, and was so angry that he couldn't speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell down holding his chest!

He was so angry that he fainted!
