The Best Fake Eunuch

"My lord, you are so young, why don't you hurry up and marry a few more concubines to carry on the family line, and give birth to a few princes and grandchildren, do you have to reach the age of the emperor, so that you will be powerless, so that your heirs will be difficult?" All the disrespectful things were said.

This is because he studied Li Shi's temperament with Chen Jisheng, and he concluded that the more straightforward the better when talking to him!

If you are not afraid of saying the wrong thing, you are afraid of not speaking.

And now Xiao Chen has clearly joined his camp, so he must show enough sincerity.

This is called speaking to the rich, relying on discrimination; speaking to the noble, relying on the situation.

"What you said today, boy, is enough to chop off several heads of yours." Li Shichang let out a sigh of relief.

"The minister is not afraid, these words are stuck in his throat, and he can't spit them out quickly. In addition, these words can only be said to the prince!" Xiao Chen is really not afraid, he is about to go to the northern border to die soon, what is he afraid of?

"I heard that Chen Jisheng is by your side, is there such a thing?" Li Shi suddenly asked.

"Yes, I have been taking care of him since he was dismissed from office. I don't know him at all, and I also annoy him, but the queen entrusted me to take care of him...You know, my lord? He was still under the old man Murong Heng before. I have been a staff officer, and I have a good relationship with the queen." Xiao Chen really didn't hide anything from Li Shi.

"Oh...so that's the case." Li Shi seemed to know just now, "Chen Jisheng is a national scholar, you must treat him kindly."

"I treated him kindly, but he doesn't appreciate it. He's a stubborn boss! Or I'll just send him to you, my lord?" Xiao Chen said.

"Nonsense, how can I take in a prisoner!" Li Shi scolded with a smile.

"The criminal prince Chen Jisheng cannot take him in, but the prince can find a way to take care of those who are dismissed by the crown prince." Xiao Chen said.

"Oh?" Li Shi's eyes flashed.

"Your majesty is wise, he asked the officials to dismiss these people's officials, but he didn't demote them, that means they will be activated at any time." Xiao Chen said.

The difference between being dismissed from office and being demoted to use is huge.

It seems that being dismissed from office is far more serious than downgrading, but it is not always the case.

To be dismissed from office is to revoke all positions, to the end, but in many cases, one's fame and rank will be retained.

If one day the emperor suddenly wants to use him, as long as he makes a decree, he can be restored to his post immediately.

But downgrading is not enough. For example, if a second-rank official is downgraded to fifth-rank, then if he wants to restore his original title, he has to gradually upgrade level by level, and then he will be promoted to second-rank, which is very difficult. up.

It may sound unreasonable, but it is what it is.

"Then this is not buying people's hearts?" Li Shi agreed in his heart, but said so in his mouth.

"Of course not, my lord, how do you know which one the emperor will re-enable? So the lord's doing this is just to comfort the hearts of scholars for the emperor, but it's not to buy people's hearts." Xiao Chen said.

"Well, it makes sense, I will consider it." Li Shi really wanted to chat with Xiao Chen for a while, but as the two of them, and under the current situation, it is obviously not suitable for them to talk in secret for too long .

Because in the palace, there are also spies placed by the emperor.

It was already Xu time when he came out of the palace, Xiao Chen didn't go back to the palace, he went back home directly.

After Chen Jisheng left, Liu Xiangqin was the only one left at home, because all the men in the army, it was inconvenient for her to follow alone, so Chen Jisheng asked her to stay first, and then go with Xiao Chen and Duan Linger.

Liu Xiangqin took the initiative to assume the position of Xiao Chen's housekeeper, and as Xiao Chen's eldest cousin, she took care of everything in the family in an orderly manner. Needless to say, she was much better than Chen Jisheng...

Xiao Chen admired her shrewdness and ability very much, saying that Liu Xiangqin is knowledgeable, rational and rational, much better than Wang Xifeng, she is my little Xichun.

Liu Xiangqin doesn't know who Xichun is?

But Big Brother Xiao usually speaks strange words endlessly, and she has long been used to it...

"Xiangqin, I want to ask you to do me a favor." Xiao Chen really had something to do with her.

"Brother Xiao, why are you talking like that? It's out of character, you can tell me anything!" Liu Xiangqin laughed.

"I beg you to help me, of course I have to be more polite...I want to ask you to negotiate a business for me." Xiao Chen said.

"What business?" Liu Xiangqin was surprised.

"Big business." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

In the early morning of the next day, two strange-looking teenagers came in front of the Taihexiang clothing store located in the most prosperous area of ​​Fengyang City.

It's strange because these two teenagers are so handsome, they seem to have stepped out of a painting, they are much more handsome than Xiao Dan in the large and small theater troupes in Fengyang City.

Many people passing by were amazed by it and stopped to watch. The main reason is that these two people have extraordinary temperament and don't look like actors, so they didn't dare to go forward to harass them.

As soon as I came in, I went straight to the boss, Shi Mingtao. The staff asked the two Gaos for their names, but they refused to give them. One of the fierce, big-eyed boys said that you are not worthy of asking my name, so hurry up and ask Shi Mingtao to come out to pick up the guests!

These two are naturally Duan Linger and Liu Xiangqin who are disguised as men.

The guys didn't dare to be negligent when they saw the momentum, and hurried in to report, and after a while a big fat man walked out with his belly dangling.

He took a look at the two of them but didn't know each other, he cupped his hands and said, "Which Lord's family are the two of you? I'm sorry, but I don't know Jing."

"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is business." Duan Linger said.

"Then please sit down and discuss in detail, come and serve tea!" Shi Mingtao is an old man, and he felt that the two of them were extraordinary, and they must be either rich or expensive, so he was very polite to them.

"Is this a place to discuss business? Is there a secluded place?" Duan Linger frowned.

"Oh? Yes, yes, please follow me!" Shi Mingtao understood that these two were here to discuss a secret business.

He brought the two of them into the back room, ordered tea to be served, and dismissed everyone, then cupped his hands again and said, "I don't know what advice you two have?"

"My elder brother wants to buy some cotton cloth and very thick coarse cotton clothes from Boss Shi." Liu Xiangqin didn't say any nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"My son, you are afraid that you have misunderstood? We are a tailor shop, but we don't sell those rough cotton clothes, and we don't have any cotton cloth... But we don't know Brother Ling's name?"

"My elder brother's surname is Xiao." Liu Xiangqin said.

"Surname Xiao?" Shi Mingtao picked up the tea and blew slowly, thinking to himself, there are many people with the surname Xiao in Fengyang City, and he knows quite a few, but he doesn't know who it is?

"Xiao from Xiao Wucheng." Liu Xiangqin said.

"Who?" Shi Mingtao just took a sip of tea, when he was shocked by the words, he spit out all the words.

"How many Xiao Wuchengs are there in the world?" Liu Xiangqin covered her mouth and smiled lightly, thinking that Brother Xiao, you have such a great reputation, it surprised everyone.

Shi Mingtao was not startled, but frightened!

Isn't Xiao Wucheng the same as Xiao Chen?

How did he know that I was in a smuggling business?

It's not good to be targeted by him!

This is not to do business with me, but to grab something, right?

He even dared to snatch the war horses of the Ministry of War, and even copied Gong Shouli's house!

I, the empress dowager's distant nephew, may not be spared...
