Transmigration begins with archery training

Even now, everyone admires General Yu Song.

"Lord Hou, General Yu is extremely loyal to Da Sheng, he deserves a reward!"

Xie Sishu said, "His wife, children, and elderly parents also need an explanation!"

"Please clear General Yu's name!"

Those kneeling on the ground, especially those with official positions, were basically speaking up for Yu Song.

Only Yan Changqing remained silent.

"Eunuch Hou!"

Chen Sanshi said solemnly, "Without General Yu's final desperate attack on Luotian Pass, which intimidated Liang Jinian of Meishan, there would have been no great victory!"

"Of course we know that."

Hou Bao said in a high-pitched voice, "That's why the court doesn't intend to punish him. Otherwise, disobeying orders would be punishable by death, and if it causes serious consequences, even the extermination of nine generations of his family would not be too much... If Lord Chen really can't bear it, he can give him some money privately."

"Eunuch Hou!"

Chen Sanshi said seriously, "This is not about money. When Lieutenant General Yu went to Luotian Pass, it wasn't for material possessions."

“Lord Chen, I admire your benevolence, but you must understand one thing: disobeying orders is disobeying orders, and that is a hard and fast rule. It may not have caused any serious consequences now, but if everyone follows suit and thinks that they can make great contributions by disobeying orders, wouldn’t it be chaos when war breaks out?”

Eunuch Hou paused, then lowered his voice and said, "If it is true, as Lord Chen said, that the strategy of disobeying orders was your idea, let me put it bluntly, if it weren't for General Yu taking the fall for you, you would have been punished as well."

"Wait..."

"Lord Chen, please stop talking."

Hou Bao interrupted, "Lord Chen, if you are truly dissatisfied, you can write a memorial yourself, go through the Office of Transmission, and then submit it to the Grand Secretariat. Even if you argue with me until you're hoarse, I can't make this decision for you."

"I see."

Chen Sanshi's feelings were somewhat complicated.

Yu Song disobeyed orders.

Sha Wenlong and Cao Fan wanted to kill him, but they didn't mention it at all...

On the contrary, sending them out separately was considered a meritorious act. As for why the entire army didn't cross the river together, it was explained as a prudent tactic, not daring to risk the annihilation of the entire army.

This is utterly turning black into white.

Unfortunately, there was no way to refute it.

Because there is no evidence.

"..."

Chen Sanshi was seething with anger.

One had a master of the Meridian Opening stage protecting him closely, the other was a general at the Profound Elephant Realm...

He is still too weak.

As long as you have enough power to do things cleanly, what does it matter if your surname is Cao?

He didn't have the ability before.

But he will try it next.

"Eunuch Hou, may I speak to you in private?"

Chen Sanshi gestured for him to proceed.

Hou Bao did not refuse, but said as they walked, "If Lord Chen still wants to talk about Lieutenant General Yu, then there's no need..."

"Please trouble Eunuch Hou to pass this on to His Majesty."

Chen Sanshi was holding several booklets that looked like gold foil.

"This...this is a heavenly book?"

Eunuch Hou was quite engrossed in reading it: "I originally planned to inquire about this matter privately, but Lord Chen brought it up on his own initiative."

Chen Sanshi recited the words he had prepared beforehand: "I have never forgotten His Majesty's kindness. How could I dare to keep the gains I have made in the war to myself?"

"Excellent! Lord Chen is truly a loyal and capable minister, no, a divinely loyal minister!"

Eunuch Hou asked tentatively, "Lord Chen, I wonder if you have studied this object?"

"To be honest, I've studied it for several days, but the writing on it is like scribbles, and I really can't understand its specific meaning. It's truly a 'heavenly book'."

Chen Sanshi held the object in his hand for months; only a fool would believe he hadn't studied it.

When he first met Jiang Yuanbo, the Martial Saint from the capital, he originally intended to give him the gift, but then said that it would be better to give it to Eunuch Hou after returning home, which shows that this person is the most trusted confidant of His Majesty.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I suppose only His Majesty the current emperor can understand it."

"We will keep this item for now, and the palace will send someone to retrieve it later."

Eunuch Hou said, "If it really is a heavenly book, then Lord Chen has done another great service! Tsk tsk, you have only been in the army for a short time, yet you have made great contributions to the court time and time again. This is truly a blessing from heaven for our Great Prosperity, and our dynasty is destined to last for ten thousand years."

"You flatter me, Your Excellency. I am but an ordinary court official."

Chen Sanshi said, "By the way, could you tell me why His Majesty has chosen a date to summon me to the capital?"

"What else could it be? It's an incredibly wonderful thing!"

Eunuch Hou said softly, "Lord Chen, you may not know this, but His Majesty is extremely fond of you. He praised you in front of the entire court. You are truly on the verge of a meteoric rise!"

Chen Sanshi asked, "Then what is His Majesty's decision regarding when?"

"That hasn't been decided yet."

Hou Bao sighed, "In the past two years, there has been restlessness from all sides. Even His Majesty has begun to reduce his seclusion. When he has some free time, he will naturally summon you."

"Thank you very much, Eunuch Hou."

Chen Sanshi took out a silver note and stuffed it into his hand.

"Lord Chen, this is absolutely unacceptable."

Eunuch Hou smiled and refused, saying, "I dare not accept your money anymore. If Lord Chen is so kind, I would be extremely grateful if you could help me out in the future."

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

Chen Sanshi bowed, then turned and left.

There's no point in talking to this eunuch about Yu Song's matter; I'd better go back and write a memorial to try and find a solution.

As for the Book of Heaven...

They were even less likely to suspect anything.

Because the Heavenly Book was originally real, if the emperor were truly cultivating immortality, he would recognize it at a glance. However, only half of it was real; the other half was in his possession.

And this is something that, apart from Liang Jinian, probably only immortals in the whole world know.

Mention this.

Chen Sanshi became curious.

Did Liang Jinian really see immortals?

Where did you meet?

He was initially in a state of doubt.

But considering that my fourth senior brother said that our master had also seen immortals, I think it is indeed very likely to be true.

In this case.

Are immortals starting to descend to the mortal realm more frequently?

What are they up to?

"It's a pity that Master is not here."

"Otherwise, we can ask Liang Jinian about his matter."

"Alright, let's focus on our cultivation for now."

Chen Sanshi stopped having wild thoughts.

……

After watching Chen Sanshi leave, Eunuch Hou found Yan Changqing and took out the Heavenly Book: "Young Master Yan, take a close look. Isn't this the same thing that Liang Jinian had back then?"

"Can't be wrong."

Yan Changqing said with certainty, "It's true."

"That's good."

Eunuch Hou clicked his tongue and said, "It seems Lord Chen truly has no selfish motives."

……

The next day.

After dealing with the soldiers, Chen Sanshi led several brothers into the city.

Along the way, many houses had white lanterns hanging in front of them, and the streets were covered with paper money.
