Chapter 22 Court Argument
"Little Dragon, you are so awesome. You know so much. What did you do in the General's Mansion in Zhenguo?"
Qingyue asked something unexpectedly.
The air suddenly calmed down, and Long Chen knew that this was a test.
This time, the Linjiang City was captured and more than 50,000 Tianwei Legion captured, and almost all the others were destroyed. All the credits could be counted on Long Chen.
Di Luoxi sent someone to send a letter to Daughter City, asking the Empress to thoroughly investigate Long Chen's background, and Di Luoxi continued to test.
"Hehe, I was the vanguard general of the General's Mansion in Zhenguo back then."
Long Chen was indeed a pioneer general back then, and he was at the forefront every time he went on a war.
"Hahaha... Are you the pioneer general? You are the only one?"
Xuan Yi Haha was amused by Long Chen.
Long Chen is now only at the level of a warrior. It is so funny to be the pioneer general of the General's Mansion of Zhenguo.
"What are you laughing at? I'm a eunuch now, my military power has decreased. I was also a powerful general back then."
Qingyue smiled so hard that the branches on her chest were trembling: "Before cutting, you were also a general... I was so laughed to death."
Long Chen shook his head helplessly. He was very frank and told the truth, but they didn't believe it.
"Stop making trouble. When Linjiang City is built, we will go back to the court."
Di Luoxi also felt funny and didn't believe Long Chen's words at all.
Outside Linjiang City.
The eunuch of Nanliang, Zhong Gui, arrived. The spy looked at Linjiang City carefully and then smuggled into the city to find out the news.
After inquiring clearly, the spy returned to Jinling to report.
Li Chengdao was shocked when he heard that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was rapidly rebuilding Linjiang City.
"It is said that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty invented a terrible city-building powder, which can be as hard as a rock when solidified."
Zhong Gui whispered.
Li Chengdao frowned and said, "If you release your men, you must get this powder, and then let Shangguan Wei gather his troops and prepare to take back Linjiang City."
Zhong Gui immediately went to pass the order and sent his spy to Linjiang City at the same time.
The weather was dry and cold after the blizzard, and the cement city wall was quickly built. Li Xiannan transferred his troops to Linjiang City, and the border of the eastern surrounds returned to the south of the river.
At these times, Emperor Luoxi sent troops to capture the surrounding cities and basically recovered the original territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
After Emperor Luoxi explained the matter, he brought his troops back to his daughter's city.
Those who went back together were also prisoners from Nanliang.
These prisoners were not ordinary soldiers, but generals and lieutenants, all of whom had military ranks.
Back at Daughter City, the Empress led all Chinese civil and military officials to the South Gate to greet them.
The empress was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the three princesses behind her were greeted spontaneously on both sides of the road.
Emperor Luoxi dismounted and bowed: "I'm lucky that my son has not been humiliated. He has captured Linjiang City and recovered the old land of my Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
The empress was very happy and took Di Luoxi's hand and said, "Follow me to go back to the court."
The Empress and Emperor Luoxi walked side by side and entered the Daming Palace.
The empress sat on the phoenix chair, and all the civil and military officials stood up.
Conquering Linjiang City and defeating Shangguan Xiu was the biggest victory in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in recent years, and everyone was very happy.
"The fourth princess defeated Nanliang and destroyed the 200,000 Tianwei Legion, which is a great achievement."
"I want to grant Linjiang City the permanent fiefdom of the Fourth Princess. What do you think of my dear friends?"
A woman in her 40s came out and said, "When Longye invaded Linjiang City, Nanliang gave Linjiang City to Longye as Longye's permanent fief."
"The princess is now regaining Linjiang City, and the emperor gives Linjiang City to the princess. This is in accordance with the convention."
This woman is Bai Qiulian, the Minister of War of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
A man in his 20s came out. The man was very fat, and his ancient court uniform was very loose, but he still couldn't cover his belly.
"Your Majesty, Luo Xi won a great victory this time and should be rewarded with many rewards."
Long Chen heard the man calling Di Luo Xi's name behind him, and his eyes fell on the man.
Xuan Yi next to him whispered: "This is Jing Heng, Jing Tianlie's eldest son, and the Minister of Revenue."
Long Chen nodded slightly, it turned out that this was the second generation official, the toad who only wanted to marry Emperor Luoxi.
Hearing Jing Heng's words, Di Luoxi did not hide his disgust.
"Well, okay, I will grant Linjiang City the Fourth Princess as a permanent fief."
The empress announced in public.
"The Ministry of War has checked the merits of the soldiers who went to the expedition this time and rewarded them together."
The empress said to Bai Qiulian, the Minister of War.
Bai Qiulian worshiped: "I obey the order."
Emperor Luoxi walked forward and said, "Mother, this time, the eunuch general manager Long Chengen made great contributions. The empress asked him to be appointed as Minister of Works."
Emperor Luoxi had already said this when he presented the Empress with his good news.
But the empress did not mention it because she appointed a eunuch as the minister of the court, so doing would cause great criticism.
After Emperor Luoxi finished speaking, the eyes of the civil and military ministers of the court fell on him.
"this..."
The empress knew Long Chen's identity, so she had no objection to confer Long Chen as the Minister of Works. The problem was that the ministers could not keep their mouths closed.
Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Jing Heng looked at Long Chen with hostile eyes. He heard that Long Chen and Emperor Luoxi were almost inseparable.
Although he was a eunuch, he was still unhappy.
"Luo Xi, Shangshu is the prime minister in the court, how can he let an eunuch serve as the position?"
Jing Heng was the first to object.
Bai Qiulian also opposed: "The Emperor, the Secretary of State is the prime minister. Letting a eunuch be the prime minister will make the world laugh at me for being no one in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
Jing Heng and Bai Qiulian took the lead in opposing the matter, while other ministers also opposed it.
In their opinion, it is a big joke to give such an important position as a eunuch.
Di Luoxi was very angry, and she didn't even notice that she had a special relationship with Long Chen.
"This time the great destruction of Linjiang City was Long Chengen's credit. He detonated the turmeric oil buried under the city, and then he invented the magical powder. In more than half a month, Linjiang City was rebuilt. Such a great contribution is enough to be named Shangshu."
Di Luoxi argued with public reason.
The ministers in the court only knew that Emperor Luoxi destroyed Linjiang City and then rebuilt Linjiang City.
But they didn't know the specific battle.
"How is it possible? How could he, a eunuch, know the existence of tinea oil?"
Bai Qiulian, the Minister of War, was the first to raise questions.
Di Luoxi did not say that Long Chen had worked as a mate in the General's Mansion in Zhenguo before, but said, "He has an acquaintance in the Nanliang army and got news from secret channels."
Wang Wei, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, asked: "Your Highness, Princess, you said that Long Chengen invented the magical powder. What is it? Can you show it to us?"
Di Luoxi immediately said: "This is the top secret of our Eastern Zhou Dynasty. There is no way to tell us, but Linjiang City has been built. If the Minister of the King has any questions, you can go to Linjiang City to see it."
Wang Wei, the Minister of War, sneered and stepped down.
When the empress saw that the ministers in the court were almost all opposed, only Emperor Luoxi strongly recommended Long Chen, and she was not easy to express her opinion.
It is said that it is difficult to disobey all the wills. As a king of a country, you cannot confront most ministers.
At this time, Bai Li Bing, the Minister of Personnel, walked out and bowed: "Emperor, Princess, everyone has different opinions on Long Chengen's affairs. I have a suggestion, please listen to it."
