Because of the improvement in realm, Chen Xiwang was in a very good mood, but he did not show it. He knew very well that in a place like Immortal Palace, a little bit of emotional change might attract the attention of interested people, so he
Still expressionless, he walked out of his room and went to the yard where Dong Wei was to work.
Dongwei has a lot of things to take care of, but Chen Xiwang is just one of them. He doesn't have too many things to take care of. He is still busy every day. The reason why he is so busy these days is because he is investigating
That's why I'm so busy about the Crystal Skull.
When Chen Xiwang arrived in the courtyard of Dongwei and was walking to his room, suddenly a eunuch blocked Chen Xiwang's way. Chen Xiwang looked up and found that it was a eunuch of the same grade as him, but this eunuch looked taller than him.
He is older, and now he is looking at Chen Xiwang with a smile on his face.
As soon as Chen Xiwang saw this eunuch, he quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "See you, senior brother." This eunuch is Chen Xiwang's senior brother, named Ma Degong. He is Chen Xiwang's master, the eunuch of the Immortal Court, the chief manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the admiral of Dongwei.
The eldest disciple of Wei Xiaode.
Ma Degong looked at Chen Xiwang, still smiling, and then he said to Chen Xiwang: "Junior brother, the master has called you to ask questions, come with me." Chen Xiwang did not dare to say more, so he agreed.
With a sound, Ma Degong soared into the sky and flew straight to the fairy palace in the sky.
Although only the Immortal Emperor and his family live in the Immortal Palace in the sky, there are many maids and eunuchs serving there, and it is also the place where ministers discuss matters. It is also the residence of several great eunuchs.
, are all the confidants of the Immortal Emperor. It can be said that the Immortal Emperor controls the operation of the Immortal World through them.
Now the Immortal Emperor in the Immortal World is very mysterious. He rarely goes to court, but the Great Court Meeting will still be held as scheduled. The reason why this happens is because the left and right prime ministers have the power to hold the Great Court Meeting. If the Emperor is not there,
, then the left and right prime ministers can preside over the grand meeting, and each ministry will report all their affairs. If it can be handled, the left and right prime ministers will handle it on the spot, but if it cannot be handled, it will be handed over to the Immortal Emperor.
Let the Immortal Emperor handle it.
Although the Immortal Emperor will not attend the court meeting, his two confidant eunuchs will attend. One of the two confidant eunuchs is Liu Zhong, the eunuch who wrote the pen, and the other is Wei Xiaode, the eunuch who holds the seal. These two eunuchs,
One person is in charge of the Immortal Capital Horse Guards. This Horse Guards is different. This Horse Guards was originally the most powerful army in the hands of the Immortal Emperor. Everyone in the army is a monk, and they can all ride monsters.
Fight with great strength.
But later on, the Hussar Guards gradually became corrupted, and their combat effectiveness plummeted. Later, after the Immortal Emperor appointed Liu Zhong as the Admiral of the Hussar Guards, the combat effectiveness of the Hussar Guards increased sharply, and they were divided into open guards and hidden guards.
The Ming Guard is an army of 15,000 people, and it is a monster cavalry team. As for the other secret guard, no one knows how many people there are. The function of this secret guard is similar to that of the Eastern Guard. They have
The power to supervise hundreds of officials is different from Dongwei's power to supervise the world, but it makes people here in the fairy world even more frightened.
In addition to the Hussars, the eunuch Zibi is also in charge of the inner palace. Although there is only one word difference between the inner palace and the internal affairs palace, the difference is very big. What is the inner palace? To put it bluntly, the inner palace is in charge of the royal family.
Industry is the great steward of the royal family, in charge of the royal family's purse, and is responsible for making money for the royal family.
But the House of Internal Affairs is different. The House of Internal Affairs actually manages some chores, mainly the eunuchs and maids in charge of the palace, and some things in the Immortal Palace. Although the power is not small, it is far inferior to that of the House of Internal Affairs.
Already.
Liu Zhong is the eunuch with a gift of pen. He is in charge of the inner palace, the general manager of the inner palace, and the admiral of the Hussars. Therefore, to be honest, his power and status are higher than that of Wei Xiaode.
The Immortal Emperor got a lot of benefits from Liu Zhong's control of the Hussars, so he asked Wei Xiaode to form the Eastern Guard. The Eastern Guard was to supervise the world and had great power. At the same time, Wei Xiaode was also the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
What the emperor did was actually playing with balance. He couldn't let Liu Zhong have too much power, so he raised Wei Xiaode to check and balance Liu Zhong. At the same time, he used Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode to check and balance the left and right to achieve balance.
This is why he has rarely gone to court for so many years, but he can still control the fairy world.
The offices of Left and Right Xiang are not in the Immortal Palace in the sky, but in the Immortal Palace on the ground. However, the offices of Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode are in the Immortal Palace. From this point, we can see that,
Who is the confidant of the Immortal Emperor? Of course, this has a lot to do with Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode being eunuchs.
The reason why the Immortal Emperor wanted to reuse Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode was because the power of the left and right prime ministers in the court was a bit too great. Sometimes, the Immortal Emperor dared to reject the imperial edicts issued by the left and right prime ministers. Moreover, the Immortal Emperor also discovered that before
The Hussars, who had always been under his direct control, had declined so rapidly in combat effectiveness because of the fault of the left and right factions. This discovery made the Immortal Emperor furious, but the forces of the left and right factions had already formed, and he wanted to deal with the left and right factions.
It is not that easy to be two-phased, so he thought of another way, which was to start reusing internal officials, namely Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode, so this situation was formed.
Chen Xiwang was not originally a disciple of Wei Xiaode. He was a disciple of an old eunuch in the palace. The old eunuch did nothing famous in the palace all his life. In the end, he only got the position of chief officer of Yushanfang, but he
But he was regarded as Wei Xiaode's confidant. Later, when the old eunuch died, Wei Xiaode accepted Chen Xiwang as his disciple. Therefore, Chen Xiwang was an apprentice in the art field. He was not Wei Xiaode's disciple since he was a child. Naturally, the relationship became further distant.
But Chen Xiwang is serious about his work and has always been loyal to Wei Xiaode. Wei Xiaode has valued Chen Xiwang more and more over the years, otherwise he would not have been allowed to become the leader of Dongwei. You must know that people like Ma Degong,
Wei Xiaode's disciple who he taught since childhood is now also the leader of Dongwei. You can imagine how much Wei Xiaode likes Chen Xiwang.
Of course, Chen Xiwang's identity is incomparable with Ma Degong. Although Ma Degong is also the leader of Dongwei, he has to serve Wei Xiaode every day, and he also lives in the Immortal Palace, and even everyone
It can be seen that Wei Xiaode is training Ma Degong as his successor, but Chen Xiwang is not yet at that level.
The two flew to the Immortal Palace and entered the Immortal Palace directly from the side door. After arriving at the Immortal Palace, they turned around a few times and entered a small courtyard. This small courtyard was not very big.
But there were several rooms, and the middle room was the largest. Both of them knew that it was Wei Xiaode's room. When they arrived outside the room, Ma Degong bowed toward the room and said, "Master, Junior Brother Chen is here.
"
"Come in." A somewhat deep voice came. This voice was a little deep, but it was pleasant. The two of them responded, and then entered the room. Once they entered the room, they found that this room was actually not
Small, there is a large brocade couch at the end. This brocade couch is very big and can sleep several people. In the middle of the brocade couch, there is a small table. The left and right sides of this small table can be
Each sleeps one person. On both sides of the brocade couch, there is a little eunuch standing on each side. The two little eunuchs stand there with their heads bowed, motionless, just like two statues. On the brocade couch, they are sitting.
An old eunuch, although he is said to be old, is not very old. He looks to be only in his fifties. His hair is meticulously combed and his clothes are very casual. He is sitting there with a booklet in his hand.
look in.
The two people hurriedly saluted the old eunuch and said, "See you, Master." As they spoke, they saluted the old eunuch. The old eunuch turned his head and glanced at the two people, then smiled slightly and said, "Get up.
.”
This old eunuch looks very handsome. Although he is old, he looked very handsome when he was young. He also looks very handsome now, with a gentle smile on his face. Sitting there, he looks like a handsome scholar.
, there is no way to tell that he is the great eunuch in charge of a place like Dongwei.
They both responded in agreement, and then straightened up. Ma Degong naturally walked to the edge of the brocade couch and said to the old eunuch: "Master." Wei Xiaode nodded and waved his hand, and Ma Degong took a step back and stood.
He stood beside the brocade couch and looked at Chen Xiwang.
Wei Xiaode looked at Chen Xiwang, and then said: "Xiwang, the last time I asked you to go to Qingdu City to do something, you did a good job." When he said this, his tone was gentle, with a smile on his face.
It was like an elder talking to a junior whom he admired very much.
But Chen Xiwang was not happy at all. No matter who Wei Xiaode talked to, he always looked like this. Even if he wanted to kill the other person, he would still talk to him like this. So he really didn't know what Wei Xiaode said to him.
If so, are you really praising him, or are you making sarcastic remarks and blaming him?
Chen Xiwang said quickly: "Master, I didn't handle things well in Qingdu City and made big mistakes. Please ask Master to punish me." He didn't know if Wei Xiaode was really praising him. Anyway, he admitted his mistakes first.
After hearing what Chen Xiwang said, Wei Xiaode still smiled and said: "No, you are not to blame for that matter. No one thought that such a thing would happen in Qingdu City, let alone that it would be a person from the Shadow Clan.
It's a conspiracy, you've done a good job, at least the things in the eight major families' treasury, you have returned them to the national treasury, which is already very good."
Chen Xiwang said quickly: "Thank you Master for the compliment, I really don't deserve it." He could tell now that Wei Xiaode really didn't mean to blame him, that's why he said this.
Wei Xiaode looked at Chen Xiwang and said: "But I heard that after you came back, you have been asking your people to trace the other Black Crystal Skulls with all their strength. However, you are not very concerned about the person who took away the Black Crystal Skull. This
What does it mean?"
Chen Xiwang quickly said: "In reply to Master, the person who snatched the skeleton should not be from the Shadow Clan. Otherwise, there is no need for him to snatch the skeleton from the Shadow Clan. Therefore, the disciple believes that the skeleton will not be lost for the time being.
into the hands of the Shadow Clan, but we must find other skeletons. If the Shadow Clan loses a skeleton, they will definitely grab other skeletons as soon as possible. If we cannot find other skeletons as soon as possible, maybe those skeletons will
