Long Chen secretly laughed in his heart: I am right in front of you, but you don't recognize me, and you are still looking for Little Plum everywhere. Do you want me to do it to you again, so that you can relive the familiar feeling?
After the business was finished, it was late at night and only the queen and Long Chen were left in the room.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
The queen looked at Long Chen and thought to herself: This Liu Feng is so lustful, do you want to
No, I am the queen, how can I betray my appearance in order to win over a eunuch?
No, he is just a eunuch and a slave. It is not that I sell out my lust, but that he serves me.
"I'm tired, please give me a massage."
The queen lazily stood up and lay down on the couch.
Black pajamas cover her body, and her exposed calves look fair and lovely in the candlelight.
Long Chen smiled, walked to the couch, took off his shoes, and sat on the queen very simply.
The queen was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Long Chen would dare to use her as a stool?
However, the queen did not reprimand her and remained obedient.
Long Chen started massaging, starting from the back of the neck and slowly pinching all the way down.
After pinching the back, then turn it over and pinch the front.
The queen kept her eyes closed the whole time and pretended to be asleep.
While Long Chen was pinching the queen in the bedroom, Yu Yao was wooing the deputy commander of the imperial army.
In a house, Yuyao sat opposite the deputy commander.
The room was very small, with only a dim oil lamp illuminating a distance of half a meter around it.
Across a small table, the deputy commander poured a cup of tea for Yuyao and said with a smile: "My aunt is visiting late at night, so she must have something important to do."
The tea was pushed in front of her, but Yuyao didn't drink it.
"Commander Yan has been in the Forbidden Army for twenty years."
Yuyao spoke slowly.
The deputy commander's name was Yan Xifeng. Yuyao did not call him deputy commander, but commander. This was to give him face.
In the officialdom, deputy positions are often not called deputy.
For example, the deputy director does not call the deputy director, but the director. This is a respectful title and a kind of verbal bribery.
Deputy Commander Yan Xifeng smiled and sighed: "I participated in the competition and selection at the age of 19 and joined the Forbidden Army with the first place. Counting it all, it has been 26 years."
Yan Xifeng's tone was filled with emotion and helplessness.
Seeing Yan Xifeng's disappointed look, Yuyao secretly thought something was wrong.
"I heard that Commander Yan has made another breakthrough in his cultivation?"
Originally, Yan Xifeng was in the late-stage realm of a king. Recently, it was said that he had broken through to the peak of the king, which was two levels higher than the cultivation level of Commander Zhou Hao.
Yan Xifeng chuckled and said: "The battle on the front line is tense, and the enemy is facing us. I originally wanted to go to the front line to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, so I worked harder on my cultivation and broke through to the peak of the king."
Yu Yao exclaimed: "So, now the person with the highest cultivation level in the royal city should be Commander Yan."
Yan Xifeng shook his head and sighed, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and then put it down.
"Auntie came here tonight just to ask this?"
Yan Xifeng had some guesses in his mind, but he couldn't say it himself first, Yuyao had to speak.
Yu Yao did not answer, but continued: "It is a pity that Commander Yan is such a talented person, but he succumbs to Zhou Hao."
Yan Xifeng smiled and said, "Auntie is also an old man in the palace. You know more about the matters in the court than I do."
"The way to be an official lies not in your ability, but in your background."
"A capable person, when he is half exhausted from working like a cow, will find his fault and kill him with a knife when there is no need."
"People who are incompetent and have no connections do nothing, but they can rise to great heights."
"Which dynasties and generations were not like this?"
What is politics? Politics is about uniting one group of people to fight against another group of people. It is interpersonal relationships.
Therefore, when becoming an official, one should first look at relationships, followed by ability, or even not at all.
Yan Xifeng is not grassroots and has a clan background, but the clan is not strong enough and the relationship is not strong enough.
Yuyao nodded slightly, she agreed with Yan Xifeng's statement.
As an adult, I will not complain about social injustice, but only think about how to profit from it.
Natural selection means that the fittest survive and the unfit perish.
Humans are also animals, and the essence of human society is the animal world, where the weak eat the strong.
Lift off the fig leaf of legal ethics and reveal the bloody truth underneath.
"Zhou Hao relies on the second princess. With the princess's support, the king treats him differently. There is nothing we can do about it."
Zhou Hao's aunt was Shi Le's sister. Relying on this relationship, Zhou Hao obtained the position of commander of the Forbidden Army.
There must be countless nepotism behind high-level positions.
Yan Xifeng shook his head, smiled, and said, "Yes, I know."
Only then did Yuyao get to the point and said, "Why doesn't Commander Yan find a backer in the palace? Commander Yan doesn't want to go further?"
Yan Xifeng is not stupid and knows that Yuyao is talking about the queen.
However, Yan Xifeng would not mention it himself.
"I want it too, but I can't find it."
Yan Xifeng smiled helplessly.
In the officialdom, there are many people who want to be dogs, but only a few can get their wish.
For the powerful and powerful, it is not easy to be their dog, and they will also choose.
Just like when we buy a pet, we also choose one we like.
Yu Yao immediately said: "The Queen feels that Commander Yan is very capable and wants to promote you."
Yan Xifeng's face lit up, he had already guessed that Yuyao was working as a lobbyist for the queen.
But when Yuyao said it, he was still very happy.
"Who am I? How can I be in the Queen's eyes?"
Yuyao was very excited when she saw Yan Xifeng, and secretly thought that things would work out.
Since Yan Xifeng was interested, Yuyao was not in a hurry and started to manipulate Yan Xifeng.
"The queen just thinks that Commander Yan has good cultivation and can be promoted."
"But what happens in the end depends on Commander Yan's performance."
"The empress is the queen. You know the foundation of the Lu family in Daxia. How many people are begging for the empress."
Yuyao began to lower the price, hoping to make Yan Xifeng more obedient.
Yan Xifeng wanted to seek refuge with the queen, so he didn't care about Yuyao's attitude.
"Whatever your Majesty will do, I can tell you clearly."
Now that the words had been spoken, Yan Xifeng didn't beat around the bush and asked the queen directly what she wanted.
Seeing Yan Xifeng's directness, Yu Yao said directly: "Commander Yan must be aware of what happened during the day."
Yan Xifeng nodded and said, "I know, Zhou Hao helped the second prince kidnap Imperial Doctor Liu."
Yu Yao nodded slightly and said, "You must also know what they did to kidnap Imperial Doctor Liu."
Yan Xifeng nodded slightly. He just nodded and did not speak.
He knew that Shi Yuncheng wanted to deal with the queen and help Concubine Shu ascend to the throne, but he could not say this.
Yuyao nodded and continued: "The Queen wants you to replace Zhou Hao and follow the Queen."
The trump card had been revealed, but Yan Xifeng was hesitant.
Seeing Yan Xifeng's silence, Yu Yao felt a little anxious.
It was Yan Xifeng's dream to replace Zhou Hao as the commander of the Forbidden Army and be promoted to a second-rank official.
However, behind Zhou Hao are the second princess and Shi Yuncheng, so replacing Zhou Hao means offending the prince and princess.
Yan Xifeng knew very well how dangerous it was.
"Why, Commander Yan doesn't dare anymore?"
Seeing Yan Xifeng not speaking, Yuyao became anxious.
The words have been said, if Yan Xifeng goes back on his word at this time, Yuyao will be very passive.
