The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne

Inside Anlu Academy.

Editor Ye Haomo is also writing a book.

However, compared to Ye Qianxuan's phoenix body lying on the ground and the maid holding the lamp, the environment in which he wrote the book was much more miserable.

He had only a kerosene lamp to keep him company, and the cold wind that blew in through the broken window would blow out the lamp from time to time!

After dozens of days in office, Ye Haomo could do nothing but write various useless records every day!

He thought he could enjoy wealth and glory, but he didn't expect that he would live worse than that corpse tailor!

hatred!hatred!hatred!

The veins on Ye Haomo's hands popped out as he wrote!

At this moment, the cold wind suddenly blew again and the kerosene lamp was blown out again!

Ye Haomo sighed, stood up and closed the window. When he turned around, he suddenly found a dark shadow standing next to his desk!

"who!"

Ye Haomo was suddenly shocked and asked in a stern voice.

The black shadow just made a move with his hand, and the kerosene lamp ignited on its own without any fire!

Ye Haomo finally saw this person clearly!

He was dressed in gorgeous yet solemn court attire, with intricate and delicate dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered on the lapels. The interweaving of gold and dark blue highlighted the nobility and majesty of his status.

Ouchi Superintendent!

The most prominent eunuch in the imperial palace!

Why is he here!

"It's Eunuch Wei!" Ye Haomo's eyes lit up immediately, and he knelt on the ground: "I am the editor of Anlu Academy, and I pay my respects to Eunuch Wei!"

Although Eunuch Wei has entered middle age, he still maintains a rare handsomeness and uprightness. His skin is slightly pale due to living in the deep palace for many years, but his eyes reveal a sharp and profound look that comes from having experienced the vicissitudes of life and seeing through things.

He has long and thick eyebrows, looks intimidating without even being angry, a straight nose, and a faint yet elusive smile that often hangs on the corners of his mouth, making it difficult to guess what he is really thinking!

"Hmm." Eunuch Wei chuckled. "Editor Ye is indeed diligent. He's still working on the list this late at night!"

"This is what I'm supposed to do," Ye Haomo replied with great joy, thinking to himself - could it be that the palace has noticed him and wants to promote him?!

"What a pity! Such a hard-working person, but the empress ordered that he will never be promoted in his lifetime!" Eunuch Wei casually flipped through what Ye Haomo wrote, and sighed with regret.

"What?!" Ye Haomo was stunned. He looked at Eunuch Wei in surprise and bowed down directly: "Please explain clearly, Eunuch Wei!"

"Her Majesty has learned of your theft of Master Ye's fame!" Eunuch Wei sneered, "Ye Qianxuan is at the peak of his powers beside the Empress. Do you think the Empress will still use you?"

Ye Haomo broke out in sweat when he heard this!

He was angry and dissatisfied!

But there is nothing we can do!

"Fortunately, God has mercy on you. The Third Princess is willing to give you a chance." Eunuch Wei said, throwing a porcelain bottle to Ye Haomo:

"It's been a while since you've had dinner with your brother who's already become so successful!"

"Let's have a good time together, and by the way, give him this bottle of medicine!"

Ye Haomo held the porcelain bottle and raised his head in shock: "Father-in-law, are you asking me to kill my own brother?"

Eunuch Wei sneered: "People like you still care about these things?"

"Father-in-law, you misunderstood." Ye Haomo stood up and said softly, "My brother and I are like brothers. He has always raised me. An elder brother is like a father. How could I have the heart to hurt him?"

"After the matter is accomplished, the third princess will summon you to Changnan Palace to become a palace editor, be promoted to the fourth rank, and be rewarded with ten thousand silver coins!" Eunuch Wei seemed to see through everything, and still spoke with that elusive smile.

"promise!"

Ye Haomo bowed slightly!

I feel happy!

All he wants is more money!

……

Early the next morning.

Ye Qianxuan stood up, stretched his body beside the desk, and then presented the "Wujing Zongyao" to the empress An Luoyu who had just woken up!

Empress An Luoyu was sitting in front of the mirror, dressing up. When she saw the Essentials of the Martial Arts presented by Ye Qianxuan, she said calmly:

"You do my makeup for me."

"I want to take a closer look!"

"If you rush to write a sloppy work and try to fool me overnight, I will definitely punish you!"

Ye Qianxuan nodded in agreement, and then began to put on makeup for the empress.

The Empress read the "Wu Jing Zong Yao" and was more and more surprised and excited. She immediately slapped the dressing table:

"Bluebird, immediately summon all the military commanders currently in the capital to the imperial study!"

"Ye Qianxuan, you will come with me too!"

Soon, about a dozen military generals, including the Nine Gates Admiral Duan Zhenggang, gathered in the imperial study.

The empress put on the solemn phoenix robe again, and then distributed the "Wujing Zongyao" for people to circulate!

After reading it, the generals' eyes lit up: "This military book is so well written!"

"Yes! Not to mention the ingenuity of those siege and defense strategies, just the idea of ​​'adapting to changes in military strategy' and 'not deciding matters based on fate' is something I've never heard of before! It hits the nail on the head!"

"It's more than just that! In the past, when we were at war, we only focused on whether the equipment was sophisticated and the fortifications were solid, but this book places special emphasis on the role of people in war!"

"That's right! This military manual advocates 'the importance of employing men according to their strengths and weaknesses' and emphasizes military training. It argues that there are no such things as cowardly soldiers or lazy horses; they are simply the result of lax training. Brilliant!"

"With this military book, the combat power of our Eastern Zhou Dynasty will probably be able to reach a higher level!"

"Your Majesty! Where did you find this rare book?"

"General Sun, you've neglected to observe, haven't you? The ink hasn't even dried yet, so it must have been written by His Majesty! Only His Majesty could have such a godlike military strategy!"

Everyone was talking at once, and in the end they all started to flatter the empress.

"It wasn't written by me." The Empress smiled and shook her head. "It was written by Ye Qianxuan, a craftsman from Xuanzi Room No. 2 on Corpse Sewing Street, in one night!"

"what?!"

At that moment, the whole audience was shocked and all looked at the lowly person standing aside who had been ignored by them!

A lowly corpse-sewer actually possessed such strategic and military thinking?!

seriously!

Could it be that the empress said this on purpose to provoke them?

"Your Majesty! You are joking! How could I, a mere commoner who has never been to a battlefield in my life, write such a work?" General Sun stepped forward and said with a bow.

Others nodded in agreement.

"Ye Qianxuan, recite this martial arts manual again." The empress said with a faint smile.

"Yes!" Ye Qianxuan stood up and began to recite: "The first rule of selecting generals says: There are generals who are sure to win, but there are no people who are sure to win. It also says: If a king does not choose his generals, he will give his country to the enemy..."

After Ye Qianxuan finished reciting, he bowed slightly and said, "This is just empty talk. Please correct me, generals."

At that moment, the whole audience was silent.

Duan Zhenggang looked at Ye Qianxuan in astonishment, he was completely dumbfounded!

The ink is not dry yet, proving it’s a new work!

Ye Qianxuan was able to recite it completely, doesn't that prove that he wrote it?!

What on earth can't this corpse tailor do?

He is proficient in leading troops, fighting wars, attacking cities, and conquering territories. He doesn't even want anyone to survive!

Looking at the shocked and bewildered expressions of the generals, Empress An Luoyu was very satisfied and said with a smile, "I plan to publish Master Ye's 'Military Classics' into a book, so that every general will have a copy to strengthen our country's military strength!"

"At the same time, Ye Qianxuan is awarded the No. 1 Jinxuan Room."

"Do you have any comments?"

What can they say?

They are ashamed that he is not as good as a corpse tailor in leading troops to fight!

How could such a powerful guy become a lowly person?!

But fortunately, he was just a slave, otherwise if he went to Korea to lead troops to fight, where would their jobs be?

The empress nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, I'm tired, my dear ministers, please leave!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Everyone walked out together, surrounded Ye Qianxuan, and asked about some obscure parts in "Wujing Zongyao". Ye Qianxuan answered them one by one.

Duan Zhenggang was even more honored and had always stayed by Ye Qianxuan's side. He looked so arrogant, as if he was the one who wrote "Wujing Zongyao"!

To be honest, it is the greatest honor for Duan Zhenggang to have the opportunity to make friends with Master Ye in his life!

It was not until the evening that Ye Qianxuan was able to escape from the crowd.

Duan Zhenggang was still chattering around Ye Qianxuan, saying that he would invite Ye Qianxuan to the Jiaofangsi tonight to study the "Wujing Zongyao" all night long!

But just as he left the palace, a disgusting voice sounded from behind Ye Qianxuan:

"elder brother!"

"Mother and sister said they want to invite you home for dinner tonight. Is that okay?"
