From eunuch to emperor

Speaking of the war with Nanliang, the ministers of the DPRK and China became silent.

Although Nanliang lost Linjiang City, the Shangguan family suffered a big loss and lost 20 elites, but the foundation of Nanliang is still there, and it is still the strongest country.

"My lord, although Shangguan's Tianwei army was defeated in Linjiang City last time, Nanliang's vitality was not damaged. I heard that this time Nanliang has assembled hundreds of thousands of troops, and Shangguanwei will personally lead the troops. I'm afraid... .”

Li Yizheng, a veteran cabinet minister, was frowning, as if something was wrong.

"It's not because of the old thief Longye. Their Long family fought north and south, and the territory of Nanliang has almost doubled, and the population is twice as large as ours."

"That's right, the Long family army conquered too much land for Nanliang and destroyed so many small countries."

"Fortunately, the Tatsuno family is dead, and the sky has eyes."

The ministers talked a lot, the empress glanced at the expressionless Long Chen, and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, what should we do?"

When it came to the topic, the ministers in the court were speechless again.

Emperor Luoxi came out and said, "Queen, Linjiang City was taken by my son, and my son is willing to go to defend against the enemy."

The ministers in the court did not speak, and the empress felt a little helpless.

Unlike Nanliang and Xixia, there were very few civil servants and military generals in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, all supported by the empress alone.

The female emperor's cultivation has broken through the emperor's respect, and she is the only emperor's cultivation in the whole world, so she can compete with Xixia and Nanliang.

In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there was only the General’s Mansion, supported by two generals, Jing Tianlie and Jing Feng, and the third and fourth princesses.

There are only four available generals, three guarding outside, and only Di Luoxi.

"Okay, the fourth princess is going to Linjiang City to defend the city, who would like to go with her?"

The empress looked around the hall, but no one accepted the task.

Bai Qiulian, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out and said, "My lord, Long Chengen assisted the fourth princess in taking Linjiang City back then, so this time you can let him go again."

Bai Qiulian opened his mouth, and the others followed suit: "What Bai Shangshu said is absolutely true."

The empress looked at Long Chen, and Long Chen bowed, "I am willing to help the fourth princess."

The empress nodded and said: "Okay, you two go."

After the court was over, Long Chen and Emperor Luoxi had just returned to the West Palace when they received the Empress' order to let Long Chen go to Fengming Palace.

Long Chen immediately got up and went into the empress' bedroom, with Yingfeng leading the way.

When they got inside, the empress was reading the military newspaper with a serious look on her face.

"My minister pays homage to the Holy Majesty."

Long Chen saluted.

The empress received the military report, looked up at Long Chen, and said, "How long have you been in the palace?"

Long Chen replied: "Over a year."

The empress nodded slightly, and said casually: "It's been a year, and the body has not changed much. The other eunuchs have become neither yin nor yang in a year."

Long Chen's heart trembled, feeling that the Empress seemed to have discovered something.

After practicing Yin Xiu Dafa, although the second brother Meng Zhang Fei can be hidden, the body's male hormones are normally secreted, and the muscle lines will not disappear, which looks a bit eye-catching.

Many people have said this, and we must find a way to solve it. Is Liuwei Dihuang Wan useful?

Long Chen thought wildly, but the Empress said again: "Probably because of practicing martial arts, your martial arts have improved again?"

Long Chen replied: "Yesterday, I just reached the mid-king stage, and my cultivation speed has slowed down."

The empress laughed and said: "In one year, from warrior to king, do you think it is slow?"

You know, even if you are a genius, it takes at least 10 years to go from warrior to king, and you must be a top genius.

Long Chen smiled, but didn't answer.

"Has the Dragon Gang not contacted you yet?"

The last time Long Chen proposed to have a face-to-face meeting with the leader of the Dragon Gang, there was no news from Shi Jian.

"Not yet, this matter is not urgent, they are asking us now."

"You have done a good job. Now the attitude of the Tianxiahui and the Dragon Gang is in favor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

Saying so, the empress took out the military report and put it on the case.

"Just now when I was in court at the Daming Palace, I ordered you and Luo Xi to guard Linjiang Town."

"Shangguanwei's Tianwei Legion has completed training, and Li Chengdao has ordered him to take back Linjiang City. The war is about to break out."

"My original intention is to let you and Luo Xi go to Linjiang City to assist Li Xiannan in defense and repel Shangguanwei."

Long Chen picked up the military newspaper and read it carefully. Shangguanwei led 30 new recruits, plus the original 10 veterans, a total of 40 troops stationed in Caishi City.

The distance between the two cities is only 50 miles, and war may break out at any time.

"How? Are you sure?"

The empress saw that Long Chen didn't speak for a long time.

"The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and I dare not say that I am sure."

"Just now in the court hall, I have already said it, so I will definitely do it."

Having fought so many battles in the Long Family Army, Long Chen knew very well that the situation on the battlefield could change at any time, and the outcome was unpredictable.

But as a general of the Long family army, Long Chen is used to thinking about problems from the perspective of winning.

"Okay, you go with Luo Xi, the northern barbarians may invade, I can't give you soldiers and horses this time, only those in Linjiang City, you can figure out how to do it yourself."

Eastern Wednesday is full of powerful enemies, and the north sent Emperor Lingyi to help. The situation is not optimistic, and the empress wants to keep a reserve army.

"Wei Chen understands."

"Let Luo Xi come over, I have something to say to her alone."

Long Chen left the bedroom and returned to the West Palace.

Di Luoxi asked: "Why did the queen mother summon you alone?"

Long Chen said: "Let me assist the princess in defending the city, and now I'm announcing you."

Di Luoxi immediately got up and went to Fengming Palace.

Xuanyi and Qingyue were packing their things, Zhang Qian said, "Should we also clean up?"

Long Chen said: "Go back to Qiuxing Hall to clean up, and I'll go to the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry to explain things."

Zhang Qian said: "I am your bodyguard, of course I will follow you."

Long Chen saw Hubu and called Duan Shuangshuang over.

"grown ups."

Duan Shuangshuang was dressed in Tsing Yi, dressed very plainly, with light makeup on her face, giving off the impression of a literary girl, exuding a gentle temperament all over her body.

"I'm going to Linjiang City with the fourth princess soon. I don't know how long this battle will take. The Ministry of Households will entrust you to watch it. The business between the Tianxiahui and the Dragon Gang will be done according to the usual practice. Check the accounts."

"Don't worry about the supply. I will instruct Xu Ming from the Ministry of Industry to make good products. You have breastplates, cheongsams and other clothes. You are a woman, so it is more appropriate for you to take care of them."

"If there is something urgent, you can send a letter to Linjiang City, or directly report to the Holy Majesty for judgment."

Duan Shuangshuang said: "My subordinates will remember."

Duan Shuangshuang was careful and experienced in doing things, so she didn't need to order more.

Long Chen got up and went out to the Ministry of Industry, Duan Shuangshuang followed behind, and said: "My lord, be careful all the way."

Long Chen nodded, and when he arrived at the Ministry of Industry, he told Xu Ming to keep everything as usual, and the product quality must be guaranteed, Xu Ming wrote it down.

After finishing the order, Long Chen returned to the West Palace, and Emperor Luoxi also came back. After packing up his things, he immediately took the soldiers of the West Palace to Linjiang City.

...

King's house.

A wretched-looking man entered Jing Heng's room, and then quietly closed the door.

"How about it?"

Jing Heng asked in a low voice.

Tang Wei said: "It's been arranged. This time, Long Chengen is guaranteed to return in a big defeat!"

Jing Heng sneered and said: "Okay, Long Cheng'en was reused for capturing Linjiang City, this time I'll make him suffer a big fall!"

Tang Wei was a little worried: "What if it leaks?"

Jing Heng scolded in a low voice: "Nonsense, this young master never knew about this matter!"

Tang Wei nodded and said, "Yes, yes, this has never happened before."
