The Best Fake Eunuch

Fu Yan really told a joke.

Said it was a long time ago...

Once an emperor saw that all the concubines in the harem were yellow and thin, frowning and listless, as if they were sick, so he was worried.

Ask them what's wrong with the concubines?

The concubines just shook their heads and sighed, unable to explain why, which made the emperor even more worried.

So the imperial list was issued, and all the genius doctors from all over the world were called into the palace to treat the concubines. Finally, a Taoist priest took down the imperial list, claiming that he could prepare good medicine to cure the concubines' illnesses.

The emperor was overjoyed and immediately recruited him into the palace for medical treatment.

More than ten days later, the emperor inspected the harem again, and was surprised to find that all the concubines were as ill as before, all of them were full of energy, with delicate faces, more charming and charming than before, and their colors were outstanding!

Ask why the concubines are so nice?

The concubines said it was all caused by taking the Taoist's medicine.

The emperor heard that Longyan was very happy, and immediately rewarded the Taoist priest!

After the Taoist priest left, when the emperor came to the harem one day, he was surprised to find that there were many skinny young men in the palace courtyard, and he couldn't help being very surprised.

Ask the concubines, who are these people?

The concubines all laughed and answered, saying that they were all leftovers from concubines after taking medicine...

"You, Fu Wanchun, don't even say good things!" Xiao Chen laughed after hearing this, and the smile froze on his face.

Are you saying that my uncle and I are also medicine dregs?

"I didn't say that." Fu Yan laughed, "It's just a joke, boss, don't overthink it."

"Why do I always feel that you, Wan Chun, are hiding something from me?" Xiao Chen looked suspicious.

"Miss Ouyang, did you agree to help?" Fu Yan talked about him from left to right.

"Agreed, hehe, we are lucky when it comes to it." Xiao Chen was happy again.

"Boss, you are lucky, and I will follow suit, otherwise if I handle this matter, it will never be possible." Fu Yan said.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Chen ordered someone to prepare a car, brought gifts, and went straight to Jiangdong Palace.

He met Li Wanjiang last night. Although he didn't talk about serious matters, he was considered an imperial envoy. Now he can wander out to meet people, and he has no problem meeting anyone.

Li Shi was naturally the first to meet.

"Meet the emperor?" Li Shi was very happy to see Xiao Chen.

"I met you last night." Xiao Chen told Li Shi what happened last night.

"Oh, this is not the first time it has happened, but our Da Zhou's dragon veins are not broken so easily." Li Shi was very indifferent.

Xiao Chen wanted to say that if Miss Ouyang and our brothers hadn't happened to be there last night, I'm afraid your family's dragon veins would have been broken by those bald donkeys!

But what he said was, "The emperor's blessings are as good as the sky, and the mountains and rivers have been stretching for thousands of years. Naturally, it is not something that can be broken by those small things."

"Hehe, I know you have merit, but you should invite the emperor for this merit. It's useless to tell me, and I can't reward you." Li Shi laughed.

"Look at what the lord said, even if I didn't make any meritorious service, I came back from such a long distance, lord, why don't you give me nothing?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"It's good that you come back." Li Shidao, "You know that many people in the court think that you will not come back."

"I know, I think the emperor just listened to those little people's slander, that's why he is so indifferent to me." Xiao Chen said bluntly.

"Don't say such meaningless things. The emperor knows what to do with you. You have made great achievements many times, and you have saved the emperor's life. Last night, you protected the imperial tomb. Hehe, you really did a great job this time." It's hard to reward! But as you said, I have come back from such a long distance, no matter what, this king wants to reward you, so bring it."

Li Shi said and stretched out his hand to Xiao Chen.

"My lord, don't you want to reward me?" Xiao Chen was stunned, why did he reach out to ask for a reward from me?

"Hmph, you kid came to me early in the morning, must have heard the news that the emperor asked me to take over the official department?" Li Shidao.

"Ah, is there such a thing?" Xiao Chen was surprised and delighted when he heard the words, and hurriedly knelt down to congratulate, "Congratulations, congratulations to the lord! Hehe, it's really great that the lord is in charge of the official department!"

"So you really don't know?" Seeing Xiao Chen's surprise, Li Shi didn't seem to be faking it.

Because Xiao Chen really didn't know.

But he knew what Li Shiwen asked him for, and it was naturally the list of appointments for officials of all sizes in Yanyun County.

After going through this war, almost all the administrative institutions of Yanyun County were paralyzed, so as the governor, the first thing Xiao Chen did after the war was quelled was to rebuild the administrative institutions.

Although he is the governor, he does not have the power to appoint and dismiss officials. Even if he dismisses a county magistrate or appoints a chief registrant, he must submit to the Ministry of Officials for approval.

The regulation is such a regulation, but in fact it is just a procedure.

Generally, as long as it is the appointment and dismissal of the governor, neither the court nor the officials will reject it.

But Xiao Chen's appointment list is extraordinary.

He wants to break the rules and use talents eclecticly.

For example, Wen Chengxu is just a scholar, not even qualified to be the chief bookkeeper, but Xiao Chen wants to appoint him directly as the magistrate of Yanbei Prefecture.

Zhizhou is usually a sixth-rank or fifth-rank title, but because Wen Chengxu still needs to be in charge of the trade market, Xiao Chen plans to give him a fourth-rank title directly, so that he can do things more conveniently and smoothly in the future, at least to fight with other prefectures. We will not be passive in dealing with each other.

But there is no precedent for this either.

There is also Liu Congshu, he is a magistrate who opened the door and surrendered. He should have been on the blacklist of the Ministry of Punishment, and he should be executed according to the law.

However, Xiao Chen wanted to give him another rank, even if it was a grade, on the basis of retaining his original position.

These people are Xiao Chen's capable generals, we can't let them always be acting officials, right?

Without a formal letter of appointment from the imperial court, the big guy will always feel uneasy...

In fact, relatively speaking, the appointments of Zhuge Xiaosheng, Wei Yuntian, Lin Yue and others were relatively easy, because the rewards for military merit could be exceptional.

For example, in the first battle commanded by Zhuge Xiaosheng, three thousand Xianbo cavalry were eliminated. How much credit is this? Even if it is directly promoted to the chief soldier, it is not too much.

But what Xiao Chen needs now is the establishment, because with his governor's authority, he can only have 10,000 soldiers and horses, but now he has more than 50,000 people in total.

Of course, if Li Wanjiang didn't win his title of General Conquering the North and take back the marshal's seal, then he would have no problem expanding his army by 100,000.

The problem is that it is impossible for Li Wanjiang not to take back his military power.

Because whether he was a general or a marshal, he was appointed temporarily.

In short, this lawsuit with Li Wanjiang is not easy.

The key is that Hades is aggressive, and the little devil is hard to deal with!

Li Wanjiang didn't even need to express his opinion directly, as long as he gave a slight hint, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War could give a thousand reasons to reject all of Xiao Chen's applications.

What's more, it's very annoying.
