From time to time, the six ministers, including officials, households, etiquette, soldiers, punishments, and workers, whispered a few words in front of Lingyan Pavilion. Although they didn’t know the reason why the Queen summoned everyone to gather together, they still had the courage, after all, how many people were present.

People, except for the general Cheng Wuting, are the people closest to the core of power.

A few people also secretly glanced at Cheng Wuting who looked like an old god from time to time. This man had a heavy army and had not returned to the capital for some years. Although his army was not elite, it was not comparable to ordinary government troops.

Of course they would not be afraid of an old martial artist. Although they were all of the same generation, in terms of authority, they were certainly superior. However, the disappearance of three people made them look at Cheng Wuting with amusement.

As we have said, the civil and military division of labor between the DPRK and China is actually clear, and the same is true among political gangs. Part of the confidence of civil servants in speaking in the DPRK comes from the bound generals in the gangs.

This does not mean that everyone has the intention to support the army and rebel, but it has been a tradition since ancient times. Civil servants can work for their benefit in the court, and the generals must use their own strengths to give them a hard back.

Therefore, when the Pei Yan case happened, the first thing Liu and Guo thought of was Cheng Wuting, and Guo Shiju almost blurted out the word "military admonishment". This military admonishment was no joke, and was very close to the nature of rebellion.

Rulers have always been very taboo about the generals below. According to the official history, after Pei Yan was killed, Cheng Wuting was immediately killed in the army, without even issuing a clear imperial edict. Looking back at Liu Guo Er

The prime minister was just demoted one level and died with hatred.

The differential treatment between civil and military officials sounds really staggering. But it is also easy to understand that civil servants' verbal remonstrances are just words. If a military general is determined to wade through muddy waters, it is not just words. In this era, it can be said that

There is no deeply rooted rule against cross-level transfers.

There is a saying that "if a general is out, the emperor will not accept his orders." It is true. Once a general is out, the entire army can only be mobilized by him. There are many people in history who rebelled. Only when the army under his command was fighting was it dark and the sky was dark, did they realize that they were rebelling.

.

This was also one of the reasons why the Jiedushi envoys in the late Tang Dynasty caused the separatist rule of the feudal towns, all for their own benefit.

While everyone present looked relaxed, they also peeked at Cheng Wuting from time to time with amusement. They had long been curious about how this man could keep his composure. All his companions in the court have now left the country, and it stands to reason that he was involved in the Pei Yan case.

He should have stood up. Of course, it was unexpected that Pei Yan did not die. Tang Guan had always been a little complacent about this veteran he had never seen before, because this was one of the biggest changes.

You must know that Wu Zhao was extremely vicious and brought him supreme majesty. Whether Pei Yan died or not would not affect the country. Wu Zhao was confident that he could govern the country better than him. But if Cheng Wuting died, what would happen if he died?

The Turkic War is not far away.

Throughout the Wuzhou Dynasty, there were almost multi-front battles, and the long-term war against Tibet was endless. The Turks even emerged as a new force when all the famous generals were killed, and they conquered several important towns.

This is not to say that Tang Guan was greedy for peace. He also wanted to make war fortune. He was eager to get rid of Wu Zhao and also yearned for dominance. Part of the premise of all this came from a promise, and part of it was out of necessity. It is true that people are forced

If Tang Guan doesn't fight, bite or snatch him out, Wu Zhao won't let him go.

But now he is not as tall as a spear. Let alone making war fortune, it is difficult to mount a horse.

Several people had different expressions, but no one noticed that Wu Chengsi lowered his head and was filled with gloom, as if he was uneasy about something, and he glanced around the corner thoughtfully from time to time.

At this time, on the palace road in the imperial city, a barefoot merchant was walking silently following a eunuch. The eunuch ignored him, and the merchant just kept walking.

It wasn't until he was about to turn the corner that the eunuch stopped, looked back and said, "Wait here and get your things ready."

Hearing this, the businessman raised his head and showed a rather joyful face. This person was none other than Tang Tongtai, who had entered the palace to present the treasure.

I saw that there were still some bruises on his forehead, and his eyelids were twitching as he stood on the palace road. It was obvious that things were developing out of control. The person who should appear had not yet appeared, and his palms were sweating. Before he could answer,

The eunuch turned around and left.

Fortunately, he had just been born, so he turned around and said coldly: "It's not too late for you to leave now. The Za family can spare your life. If you can't get anything out in a while, you will lose your head."

"I..." Tang Tongtai was anxious and wanted to answer. He hurriedly recalled the man's instructions and followed them one by one. The strange thing was that there was still an important person who didn't show up.

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, the eunuch frowned and was about to speak when suddenly a voice came from not far away.

"Eunuch Chen."

When the eunuch heard the news, he looked back and was startled when he saw the person coming. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Wan."

I saw that the person who came was also a eunuch, but this eunuch's clothes were quite complicated in color and more gorgeous than the old eunuch. He was somewhat similar to the prince and father-in-law who often met Tang Guan, but there were some slight changes in the color.

The palace's institutions were complex, but the foreign ministers seemed simple in comparison. Each department and every eunuch had a person in charge, as well as personal eunuchs beside the emperor and the queen.

Eunuch Wang is Wu Zhao's personal eunuch, and his authority varies from time to time, because he has no real cashier power. Obviously, the Eunuch Wan in front of him is a powerful eunuch, and he is accompanied by a young eunuch.

It was obvious that the old eunuch respected Eunuch Wan very much and bowed in salute. Eunuch Wan nodded slightly and glanced at Tang Tongtai not far away. When he saw his naked feet, a trace of deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and then he pretended to be confused and said: "

Who is this person?"

When the old eunuch heard this, his heart trembled. He glanced at Tang Tongtai. He had broken the rules by bringing in someone who refused to test the treasure for him. If his superiors were to pursue him, he would inevitably be punished. He felt regretful and hurriedly said:

"This lowly businessman came to offer a treasure, and my subordinates took him to prison."

"Oh? Offer a treasure." Wan Eunuch heard the words and said with some surprise in his tone. He took two steps forward to look at Tang Tongtai and said, "What do you want to offer?"

The old eunuch felt even colder when he heard this, fearing that Tang Tongtai was ignorant. Fortunately, after Tang Tongtai heard this person's name clearly, a relaxed look appeared on his face.

Eunuch Wan approached and gave him a subtle wink. Tang Tongtai immediately said: "What a treasure. It was given to the Holy Queen by God."

"You idiot, stop talking nonsense!" The old eunuch was shocked when he heard this. This man really dared to talk nonsense. He immediately shouted out in a low voice. Then he secretly glanced at Eunuch Wan and saw that there was no surprise on his face, and he became a little confused.

"Oh? Take it out and show it to the Zajia family."

The old eunuch was relieved again and looked at Tang Tongtai anxiously. Outside the palace, Tang Tongtai did not let him know whether he was alive or dead. The father-in-law in front of him was several levels older than himself. If he offended him, he would not be able to tell the truth.

He will be beaten to death in the palace.

Fortunately, Tang Tongtai changed his previous attitude, looked at the old eunuch pretending to understand, and said to the father-in-law, "Father-in-law, please come closer. This precious treasure cannot be shown to ordinary people."

When Eunuch Wan heard this, he moved two steps. The two of them cooperated surprisingly well. Tang Tongtai also touched his sleeve. Seeing this scene, the old eunuch ignored his doubts and stretched his neck to look over. Unfortunately, he was covered by Eunuch Wan and could not see clearly.

.

After a long time, Eunuch Wan lowered his head and suddenly spoke.

"What a baby, what a baby!"

The old eunuch was shocked when he heard the news and wanted to go forward to check, but Tang Tongtai had already put it away. The father-in-law Wan's face was full of surprise, and the old eunuch's heart skipped a beat.

"Does he really have a baby?"

Eunuch Wan admired him for a long time and even said: "Eunuch Chen, this man has a great treasure. You have done a great job this time."

"Ah!?" The old eunuch was stunned at first when he heard this, but then he became ecstatic. He didn't expect that this man actually had a treasure, and his eyes immediately turned hot when he looked at him.

You must know that giving a good treasure is worthy of merit. Although I didn't see what it was, my boss said so, so it can't be false.

After Wan Gonggong finished speaking, he stepped forward and whispered something into the old eunuch's ear. The surprise on the old eunuch's face faded, and he glanced at Tang Tongtai with some embarrassment and said hesitantly: "This..."

"The Za family will never forget your contribution. I still need a deputy supervisor. This baby..."

The old eunuch was still hesitant at first, because the father-in-law was not talking about anything else. It seemed that this man did have a treasure, and he wanted to take away his credit. But when he heard this, he couldn't help but said with great joy again: "Just give it to the father-in-law, let it be

Just give it to father-in-law."

Then he left without looking back. When Tang Tongtai saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Eunuch Wan. The Eunuch Wan nodded slightly and told the little eunuch beside him: "You go back first, the Za family has something to do."

.”

"Yes." The young eunuch bowed in response. He had no control over the affairs of these senior eunuchs. The old eunuch and the father-in-law in front of him were both very experienced eunuchs, so he immediately turned around and left.

For a moment, only Tang Tongtai and Wan's Eunuch were left. Wan's Eunuch then said, "You are quite smart. Hurry up and leave with the Za family."

"Yes, yes." Tang Tongtai saw that things had finally returned to normal, his face was full of relief, and he hurriedly followed Eunuch Wan forward.

It was certainly not a coincidence that the two met so coincidentally. At this point, the matter was considered to have progressed. For a moment, Tang Tongtai was even more frightened. He knew that the most critical moment was coming.
