eunuch

Chapter 80 Marquis Holding the Sword (Seventh update, please subscribe)
Jingde 13th year, late November.

There was a heavy rain in Yujing City, as if it had washed the world clean.

The weather has also become a bit cold, and people in the city have put on cotton clothes to resist the cold.

But today's Yujing City is very lively.

It can be called an empty alley, with a large number of people gathered on both sides of Zhengyang Avenue passing through the south gate.

There were also heavily armed city guards at the scene to maintain order.

Suddenly, a large group of knights slowly passed through the Zhengyang Gate.

Walking in front was the guard eunuch of the Military Superintendent, surrounded by a stern and unyielding young man in a purple ribbon robe.

Behind them are the prisoners in the prison car, and the black armored guards who took over the guard work.

As for the soldiers of the two battalions of the Split Wind Legion, they were temporarily stationed outside Yujing City.

Without the permission of Emperor Qian, other troops could not enter Yujing at will.

Ye Cheng sat on the tall horse, looked at the rather familiar Yu Jingcheng, and finally came back.

It was mid-July when he was in danger and ordered to go to Weizhou in the southeast, and it has been more than three months since he returned to Yujing today.

The time is neither too long nor too short.

In fact, escorting the prisoners took the longest time, which took a full month.

The crowd on both sides were pointing and talking.

"That is Eunuch Ye, right? How mighty and extraordinary?"

"It's this Eunuch Ye who only took three months to quell the bandit rebellion in the six southeastern states."

"It's really amazing. The gangsters lasted for more than three years. As soon as Eunuch Ye left, he quelled the gangsters' rebellion."

"Who says it's not? I heard that Ye Gonggong rode into the enemy's camp alone. Taking the head of a thousand troops is like picking something out of a bag."

"Really so powerful?"

"Do you know the Qian Kingdom Gold List? Now Eunuch Ye is at the top of the list. He is known as the best genius in the world under the Grand Master."

"It's a pity that Eunuch Ye is an eunuch. Otherwise, with his military exploits, he might be enough to be a Marquis."

"Hush, you don't want to live anymore, you dare to talk nonsense"

Ye Cheng's ears are so sensitive, he naturally heard the discussions of the people on both sides, and he was speechless.

This has been spread in a mess, when will I ride alone into the enemy's camp and take the head?
However, it seems that the imperial court should make a big publicity to quell the chaos of the Ma bandits in the six southeastern states, but they didn't expect that they had such a great reputation among the people?

Is this a special propaganda by Qianhuang?

Ye Cheng doesn't want to be so high-profile in his heart, it's best to go back to the palace, continue to develop the Secret Martial House in a low-key way, practice slowly, and improve his strength.

Along the wide Zhengyang Avenue, the team came all the way outside the imperial city.

Suddenly, a hint of surprise appeared on Ye Cheng's face.

Because he was at the gate of the imperial city, he saw many civil and military officials, as well as two dry crown princes in dragon robes and python suits.

There are no people here.

Standing on both sides are also heavily armed black armor guards.

Ye Cheng didn't expect Emperor Qian to come to the gate of the imperial city in person to greet him?

This is a bit too grand, right?

He actually felt flattered.

So, he quickly pulled the reins, turned over from the horseback, and then walked towards the gate of the imperial city, came to the emperor Qian, and made a big salute.

"My minister, Ye Cheng, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

The court ministers standing behind Qianhuang all had complicated expressions.

Emperor Qian did this, naturally for them to see.

This gave them a bad start.

In the history of the Qian Kingdom, there have been examples of great eunuchs dominating the world.

"Ye Cheng listened to the decree, this time you put down the rebellion of the Ma bandits in the six states in the southeast, you have made great contributions, and I want to canonize you as the Marquis of the Sword."

Emperor Qian didn't ask Ye Cheng to get up immediately, but instead announced a decree.

This time, if Yecheng hadn't turned Weizhou upside down and caught the handle of the two families, it would not have been so easy for him to suppress the two great masters, the Longmen Zhao family and the Hetian Wang family.

At least the two old fellows Wang Tiangang and Zhao Zanglong couldn't compromise so easily.

"Your Majesty, according to the Dagan ancestor system, eunuchs."

Hearing that Emperor Qian wanted to confer a eunuch as a marquis, Tian Kai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, changed his face drastically, and stepped forward to stop him.

Emperor Qian's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently: "Back then, my great ancestor of the Qian Kingdom conferred Liu An, the Grand Master of Taiwu, as the Marquis of the Armed Forces with his military merits. Today, Ye Cheng has made so much contribution, why should I be conferred the Marquis of the Sword? "

Tian Kai, Minister of Rites, didn't know how to answer.

Because the Taizu of Qianguo canonized officials as marquises, it was a fact.

Ye Cheng was stunned on the spot, because he never thought that Emperor Qian would give him a knighthood?

According to the ancestral system of Qianguo, eunuchs cannot be knighted or interfere in politics.

"Yecheng, you haven't received the order yet."

The prince standing next to Emperor Qian reminded in a low voice.

"The inner minister took the order, thank you Your Majesty."

Ye Cheng hurriedly received an order to thank him.

Those civil and military ministers felt as uncomfortable as eating shit when they saw that Ye Cheng had been conferred the title of marquis.

Then, Ye Cheng waited on the imperial chariot again, and stood beside the Emperor Qian with the prince on the left and right, and entered the imperial city.

This honorable treatment made the eyes of those civil and military ministers turn red with envy.

But the military supervisor and the guard eunuchs of the black guards were all very excited.

Eunuch Ye was granted the title of Marquis.

They must be excited.

This gave their countless eunuchs a big sigh of relief.

This day is destined to be an extraordinary day.

The name of Yecheng is passed down to Yujing.

It's not just that he made great contributions to quelling the bandit rebellion in the six southeastern states.

What's more, he became the second eunuch in the history of Qian Kingdom.

Qingyuan Building.

The second floor.

Bai Yulang was dressed in white, with two crutches beside him, and smiled at Su Yuzhu who came up with the wine, "Master Su, I have been greedy for this Su Qingjiu for more than three months."

"Master Bai, where's your donkey brother?"

Su Yuzhu didn't see the black donkey who was inseparable, so he was very puzzled.

"Brother donkey, let's go first."

Bai Yulang smiled lightly.

Now he has also adapted to the days when brother donkey is not around.

"Master Bai, I didn't expect you to go to Weizhou with Mr. Ye, it would be so thrilling."

Su Yuzhu sat down, poured Bai Yulang first, then poured himself a glass of wine, her beautiful eyes glowed, as if she was very interested in their trip to Weizhou.

"Yes, but shopkeeper Su, when did you return to Yujing?"

Bai Yulang took a sip of the wine, revealing a touch of intoxication, it really was a familiar taste.

"At the end of last month, as soon as I returned to Yujing, I heard about your deeds in Weizhou. Master Bai, Mr. Ye, did you really break into the enemy's camp alone and take the leader of the enemy general among thousands of troops?"

Su Yuzhu asked curiously with a pretty face.

Bai Yulang showed a strange look, then smiled and said, "You believe this too?"

"Isn't this amazing? Besides, it's a fact that Mr. Ye has topped the gold list."

Su Yuzhu smiled lightly.

"Although there is no such thing as riding alone into the enemy's camp, taking the head of the enemy general among thousands of horses. However, the experience of the palace master in Weizhou is more thrilling than you can imagine. To be honest, I have never admired Bai Yulang in my life." Who has ever been, but the palace master is now the first one."

Bai Yulang didn't say anything specific, after all, there are some things that cannot be said.

"pity."

Su Yuzhu sighed softly.

"What a pity?"

Bai Yulang took a sip and smiled.

"It's nothing."

Su Yuzhu shook her head.

As soon as Yecheng returned to the East Palace, Prince Su Zhe couldn't wait to ask about his various experiences in Weizhou.

Apart from being attacked by a ferocious beast once, the prince has hardly experienced any strong wind and waves. Whether he is the son of the world or the prince, it can be said that everything goes smoothly.

The gangster rebellion in the six southeastern states caused even my father a headache, and it took three consecutive years to solve it.

Unexpectedly, in just two or three months, Yecheng solved the gangster rebellion.

Although there was a compromise between Emperor Qianhuang and the two families, Ye Cheng's role in it was definitely attributable to it.

Ye Cheng didn't hide too much, and told everything that happened in Weizhou in detail.

Of course, if it is related to his secrets, he will definitely not even mention it.

"Ye Cheng, your strength has improved too fast. Now you are at the top of the gold list. It seems that you will become a grandmaster in a short time."

Prince Su Zhe said with emotion.

"By the way, do you know why the emperor wanted to confer you the title of Marquis of the Sword this time?"

He suddenly changed his tone and said.

"The minister was overwhelmed by the flattery, and he hasn't recovered from it until now."

Ye Cheng said hastily.

He felt that Emperor Qian's appointment as a marquis seemed very unusual.

After all, he is a minister, even if he made such a contribution, he can also be rewarded in other ways, for example, he can be promoted to be the admiral of the Taiwu Palace, the chief eunuch, or even the master of the Taiwu Palace.

This is the standard promotion route for royal guard eunuchs.

This Fenghou is a bit outrageous.

Although the Taizu of Qianguo had conferred the title of eunuch Lord Marquis Zhang Binghou, the situation was different at that time.

Because the Marquis in charge really followed the Taizu and led the troops to conquer the world.

"Ye Cheng, you have to be mentally prepared, Father will definitely use you."

Prince Su Zhe said.

"Please tell the prince clearly."

Ye Cheng doesn't know which aspect the prince refers to by reuse?

"I can't say right now, it's a good thing anyway."

Prince Su Zhe said.

After leaving the East Palace, Ye Cheng went to the Martial Supervisor and the Miwu Mansion one after another, and the eunuchs who guarded him congratulated Ye Cheng for being a Marquis.

Finally, he came to the Mansion of the Marquis of Holding Sword.

This is the residence of the Marquis' Mansion bestowed upon him by Emperor Qian.

Moreover, this Mansion of the Marquis of Holding Swords was originally the mansion of Marquis of Handling Soldiers during the Taizu period.

It can be used as a marquis's mansion, and the size and size of this house are naturally not comparable to the original big house.

In the Hou Mansion, there are all servants and maids.

"Welcome Lord Hou to return home."

Hearing the welcoming sound of many servants and maids, Ye Cheng actually felt a sense of ecstasy.

No wonder everyone loves power.

Even though he, who thought he was not keen on power, unexpectedly felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

When the servants dispersed, Ye Cheng sat in the spacious and luxurious lobby, drinking a cup of tea, but his heart was filled with a trace of regret.

"I don't know what level of martial arts must be achieved to be able to control the fruit of immortality in my mind?"

Ye Cheng closed his eyes, as if trying to sense the Dao fruit that existed in the dark.

Unfortunately, there is no shadow.

Only when it should appear, it will come to mind. In normal state, it seems that it does not exist at all.

"One day, I must control the Dao Fruit, whether it takes a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years."

Ye Cheng's eyes became extremely firm.

It is impossible for him to really be an immortal eunuch.

That would be really hopeless.
