Looking at Tai'an from the full moon
Chapter 270 Hexagram 8
"Reporting to Chief Steward Mu, the two of them had already started arguing, and Yueying left in anger, and the Emperor did not explain much."
A young eunuch knelt at Mu Dai's feet in a fawning manner, massaging his legs as he spoke.
"Humph, this is what happens when you go against me! They certainly didn't expect that the maid yesterday was just the appetizer, and this one today is the main attraction!"
"The chief steward is wise! The emperor and Yueying will definitely be alienated now. From now on, the emperor can only rely on you, the chief steward~"
The young eunuch was flattering Mu Dai, thinking that he would be able to rise to a high position in the future by relying on Mu Dai's support, but Mu Dai's next words shocked him.
"You rely on me for everything? Then you don't know our emperor very well. He has the support of His Royal Highness Prince Yun. Yueying is just a small chess piece beside him. A small chess piece cannot affect the whole chess game. If you want to change the chess game, the easiest way is to change the person playing chess!"
"Change the person playing chess? The steward is not thinking..."
Mu Dai tapped the little eunuch's forehead.
"Some things are better understood in your heart, you don't need to say them out loud."
The young eunuch pretended to be calm, but his hands, which were beating his legs, betrayed him.
Mu Dai glanced at him and waved his hand in disdain.
"Look at you, you're so scared by such a small thing, go down first, you're not needed here~"
The young eunuch offended the steward, so he immediately kowtowed and admitted his fault, then left respectfully. After leaving, he met Muchuan, who saw that he looked flustered and kindly asked him if he had encountered anything, but the young eunuch just hesitated and left.
It wasn't until that Muchuan entered the house that Mudai glanced at him.
"Did he say anything?"
Muchuan brewed another cup of tea and handed it to his godfather.
"Everyone in the palace knows that I belong to you, your godfather. Naturally, he doesn't dare to say anything to me."
Mu Dai took the tea and snorted.
"If he doesn't make it public, then we will have an extra helper, and we can let him do some shameful things. If he dares to report me to the emperor, then we can take this opportunity to make the emperor suffer a setback!"
"Godfather, what a good plan! It will benefit us no matter what!"
"You have to send someone to keep an eye on Prince Yun, and make sure nothing goes wrong. If Prince Yun shows any suspicious behavior, you must tell me immediately!"
"Don't worry, godfather. I have sent people to watch Prince Yun's Mansion twelve hours a day, and I will definitely not miss anything."
"Hmm~"
Mu Dai nodded with satisfaction, and already began to imagine his future glory.
When Xiao Zuochen received the news from Yun Feng, Yan Luo was also reporting the unusual happenings outside the mansion to his master.
"Find out who is outside the mansion and don't alert the enemy yet.
I will go to the palace tonight. If there is any emergency, please ask Yun Feng to come to the palace to find me."
"So, you're here to report Kido?"
Xiao Zuoming was sitting on the edge of the bed. The little eunuch who had been massaging Mu Dai's legs during the day was now kneeling below him with a nervous expression.
"Your Majesty! I am not talking nonsense. I heard it with my own ears today!"
The young eunuch seemed to think that the emperor didn't believe what he said. But then again, from the young eunuch's point of view, Mu Dai was the one who helped Xiao Zuoming ascend to the throne, which means that Mu Dai was also the emperor's man, so it was really hard to believe what he said without any evidence. In addition, the emperor had just appointed Mu Dai as the military commander some time ago, which was also a sign of trust in him. How could Mu Dai betray the emperor for no reason?
The young eunuch himself couldn't figure it out, but he heard with his own ears that Mu Dai was thinking of replacing the one in power!
"Your Majesty...I would never dare to joke about such a thing!"
The young eunuch wanted to say something else to prove that what he said was true. Seeing this, Xiao Zuoming coughed lightly, and then imitated Emperor Mingren's previous tone.
"I know you are doing this for the Xiao family, but you are a nobody and your words don't carry much weight. Not only will I not easily believe your words, but others won't believe them either. So you must take some measures to make others believe your words."
The young eunuch was stunned.
"Minion, what shall I do?"
Xiao Zuoming held his chin with one hand, looking calm, but he was actually very conflicted. He said this just to delay time, and he didn't dare to make a decision casually, so he didn't know what he needed this servant to do.
I saw him looking towards the roof from the corner of his eyes. Following his gaze, I could see Xiao Zuochen squatting on the beam. Fortunately, the eunuch was under the pressure of the emperor's majesty and did not dare to look up at him easily. Naturally, he did not know what Xiao Zuoming was doing at this time.
Xiao Zuochen made some gestures, but Xiao Zuoming couldn't understand them at all, so he had to guess blindly. In the end, he couldn't figure out what Xiao Zuochen's gestures meant, so he just said it directly.
"Why don't you just sign a military order? If this matter turns out to be true, I will definitely give you a promotion. But if it's not the case, you should know the consequences."
After hearing this, the young eunuch looked up in shock for a moment. Xiao Zuoming thought that he was intimidated by his aura and felt a little proud inside. Only Xiao Zuochen on the roof beam had a dark face and an urge to beat him up.
In the end, the eunuch signed the military order without knowing what was going on, and Xiao Zuoming was too proud. After the eunuch left, Xiao Zuochen showed up, and Xiao Zuoming was about to show off his intelligence with the military order, but Xiao Zuochen grabbed it and tore it up.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Zuoming was puzzled. Xiao Zuochen slammed the torn paper onto his desk.
"Do you know why the little eunuch was so surprised just now?"
Xiao Zuoming was stunned for a second.
"Of course, it's because of my 'tyranny'~"
"You are such a fool!"
Xiao Zuochen was a little angry.
"Can anyone issue a military order? You actually asked a eunuch to issue a military order. If this matter gets out, how will the civil and military officials scold you?"
"I..."
Xiao Zuoming didn't expect that just the military order would cause so much trouble.
"Don't scold me, I didn't do anything bad. Besides, I didn't understand what your gesture meant~"
"I meant for you to send him away, but who knew you would just ask him to sign a military order!
Military orders were originally signed by soldiers to show their determination after receiving military orders, but if a civilian was given an important task, he could also sign a military order to express his determination. But if you let a eunuch sign a military order, others would feel insulted. "
"Ah, it's so serious, then, what should we do now?"
Xiao Zuoming didn't know what to do.
"The military order has been torn up. Even if this matter gets out, there is no evidence. Okay, this matter is not a big deal. If those old guys really want to embarrass you, you should be more assertive. After all, you are the emperor now!"
When Xiao Zuoming heard Xiao Zuochen say this, he curled his lips.
"Aren't you thinking of replacing me?"
Xiao Zuochen rolled his eyes at him.
"If you are willing to do your best, would I replace you~"
After hearing this, Xiao Zuoming's expression became honest.
"Why did you come to see me today? And you didn't even go through the main entrance."
Xiao Zuochen looked outside the window and door, and saw no one, so he pretended to be mysterious and approached Xiao Zuoming. Xiao Zuoming thought he really had something important to say quietly, but he didn't notice Xiao Zuochen's gossipy expression.
"I heard that you favored the palace maid?"
