The Best Fake Eunuch

As the saying goes, "Thousands of wears, ten thousand wears, flattery does not wear", Li Wanjiang is quite satisfied with Xiao Chen's response.

This kid is not arrogant about his talent, just this alone is better than those scholars.

I don't have much ability, the eyes are still on the top of the head, and I am usually very proud, but it is useless when it is critical!

Each of them is a silver-like pewter gun tip, something that is not very useful.

Especially that Ye Baiqing, what kind of Jiangnan talent?

It's nothing to be insulted by Wanyan Pingqiu in public, it really embarrasses me Da Zhou!

I feel ashamed for them.

Fortunately, the magical little eunuch Xiao Chen stepped forward, which saved me a little bit of face...

It's not you, look at others!

So much credit has been made, yet so humble.

With a sweep of his eyes, he saw Prince Li Xian who was always bowing his head in silence, and felt a little bit of unhappiness in his heart.

Wanyan Pingqiu is the little prince of the Mojie Kingdom, or a concubine, you are my eldest son, and the dignified prince of my great Zhou, can you compare to others?

Usually asking you to write a poem is like killing you!

Suddenly, with a thought in his mind, he had a very miraculous idea, and said to the prince: "Xian'er, what do you think of Xiao Chenwen's talent?"

"Returning to my father, Xiao Chenwen's talent is outstanding, which is rare in ancient times." Li Xian quickly replied.

"Well, how about letting him be your teacher?" Li Wanjiang said surprisingly.

Before Li Xian could answer, a group of ministers started to blow up the pot.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

"In all dynasties, there has never been a precedent for a eunuch to be the prince's teacher!"

"It doesn't make sense at all."

"If it spreads out, I'm afraid it will be laughed at by the world."

"Your Majesty, please take back your will!"

"You need to think twice."

In fact, Li Wanjiang just said this casually, and he knew that these ministers would definitely object.

So he laughed a few times and said: "What I mean is to let the prince learn to write some poems and articles from him, but I don't intend to let him be the prince and tutor. You don't have to make such a fuss."

"Your Majesty, small skills in articles are just for fun! What's the use of learning these things for the crown prince? Concentrating on literary and military strategies and governing the country is the real business."

The person who spoke was Chen Jisheng, the censor of Zuodu, the second rank in the official residence, he was very upright, and he was famous for his daring to speak out.

Li Wanjiang didn't like him very much.

"That's not what I said. Wentao and Wulue, Wentao comes first, the emperor attaches great importance to talent and learning, which is the foundation of governing the country, not to mention that the world is peaceful now, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is the time to recite poems and dance, sing and dance to promote peace!"

The person who spoke was Wang Anbang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, second-rank official residence, high position and authority, smooth and smooth, the best at flattering people and singing praises.

Li Wanjiang really likes this guy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

This is the most important and powerful department among the six ministries, as the saying goes, officials from all over the world come from the official ministries!

Known as the head of civil servants.

"My lord Wang's words are different! The East is harassed by the Eastern Japanese, the South is invaded by the South Vietnam, the west is invaded by eighteen tribes, and the north is stared at by the Mojie Guifang and other ethnic groups, not to mention that there are other big countries secretly supporting them behind the scenes. Conspiring for a Great Zhou... Can this be called peace in the world?"

"Master Chen, what you said is scaremongering. Some clowns jumping on the beam, it's just scabies, and it's not a serious problem at all. As long as my emperor gives an order, the king of the Zhou Dynasty will be able to wipe out the world in an instant!"

"It's fine to tell the common people to listen to this. How can you speak such nonsense before the court and before the king! Aren't you trying to cover up the truth and whitewash the peace? Your Majesty, please punish Wang Anbang for deceiving the king and harming the country!"

"Chen Jisheng, you maliciously slander my prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and despise my majesty in your heart, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

The two of them quarreled in public, and the quarrel became more and more intense. If the ministers didn't stop them, they would start fighting.

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise. Today, I called all my lovers to discuss the matter of accepting the five cities of Capricornus. Let's talk about what you think."

"Your Majesty, what else is there to discuss? Naturally, troops will be sent to garrison to take over the sovereignty, and then officials will be selected to manage it."

"Hey, it's easy to say, those five cities are all earthen cities, and after years of battles, they have already been dilapidated, only one or two tenths of the people in the cities are left, and the fields have long been barren... Excuse me, bluntly, it is meaningless for us to take them back! "

"What Master Liu said is very true. These five cities are like chicken ribs. It's tasteless to eat, but it's a pity to discard them."

"The five cities are all far away from the border of our Great Zhou, and they are far away from each other. Sending fewer troops is useless, but sending more troops will consume countless food and grass, and the logistics cannot afford it."

"It's the wilderness of Saibei, and the people don't want to go there. It's very difficult to immigrate!"

"Let's not talk about the common people. It's not easy to send officials alone. Who wants to go to that bitter cold place to suffer?"

"I suspect that this is intentionally done by the Mojie Kingdom. They want to disperse our border forces and increase the pressure on our treasury."

Xiao Chen felt fresh when he heard it!

No, what do you all mean? Young master, I won the five cities with great difficulty, but you want to give up?

"Xiao Chen, what do you think?" Li Wanjiang asked abruptly.

"Back to the emperor, the slaves dare not talk about important government affairs!" Xiao Chen was taken aback, you, the dead emperor, are you playing tricks on my young master, right?

Young master, I am an internal official, what qualifications do I have to discuss state affairs?

"Hehe, brainstorming and listening together will help you understand, just say what you think, I will forgive you if you are right or wrong." Li Wanjiang said.

Xiao Chen looked at his words and found that Li Wanjiang was dissatisfied with those who advocated abandoning the city, and he had frowned several times in a while...

Immediately said timidly: "What important national affairs does this slave understand? I just feel that it was given to us for nothing, and it would be a pity if we don't want it."

"Hahaha, what you said makes sense, what do you think?" Li Wanjiang laughed loudly.

All the lovers said in their hearts that you, the emperor, are right, what else can we say?

Does that mean it has to be taken back?

Sigh... This is another troublesome matter. Speaking of it, Xiao Chen, the little eunuch, is all to blame. Who made you win?

You have been promoted and made a fortune, and you have become famous, and you will get all the benefits, but it is the old people who are troubled and worried!

"Since everyone says so, let's make a decision. For the specific matters, you can discuss the detailed rules and present them to me later. I'm tired, so let's all step back." Li Wanjiang waved his hand and walked away on his own. up.

Everyone was dissatisfied with Xiao Chen in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces, they gathered around to congratulate him, they talked so obediently, they wanted to win over this upstart in the palace.

Only Chen Jisheng ignored him, let out a cold snort and walked away...

The Supervisor of Rituals is the head of the twenty-four supervisors in the palace. He is in charge of all the divisions, even surpassing the Jinyi Guards of the Imperial Army. It is the most powerful department in the palace, not one of them.

There is one palm print eunuch and two pen eunuchs. Xiao Chen is one of the two pen eunuchs.

At least in theory...
