Jing Heng took over a shell department and made it boring.
After returning home, Jing Heng went straight into Jing Tianlie's study, where sat Hu Chengfu, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Wang He, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Zhong, the Minister of Honglu Temple, and Wang Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of War.
"Congratulations, young master, for taking back the reins of the Household Department."
When the four of them saw Jing Heng coming in, they all stood up to congratulate him.
They called him Master Jing Heng instead of Shang Shu, in order to get closer to each other.
Jing Heng felt bitter, but he couldn't say it in front of the four people, so he had to deal with it: "It's just a household department, it's nothing."
Jing Tianlie noticed something was wrong and said, "Sir, let's talk about this another day."
The four of them bowed their hands and exited the study, and Jing Heng closed the door.
"What's wrong?"
Jing Tianlie asked coldly.
Before he could speak, Jing Heng trembled and whispered: "Dad, I went to the Ministry of Finance today and found that...the Ministry of Finance has no money."
Jing Tianlie's face turned cold and he asked: "Long Chengen has made so much money, how can he have no money?"
Everyone knows about Long Chen and Tianxiahui. The Long Gang has made a lot of money doing business, but Jing Heng says that the Ministry of Revenue has no money?
Jing Heng cursed with an aggrieved look on his face: "That dead eunuch put all the money in the treasury, and the household department is only responsible for settling accounts. It's an empty shell."
Snapped!
Jing Tianlie smashed the tea table with his palm, stood up and cursed: "How dare he play tricks on me!"
I thought I was getting a huge advantage and that the money from the Ministry of Finance could fall into my own pocket, but what I got was an empty shell.
Jing Heng trembled all over, almost peeing in fear, lowering his head and not daring to look directly at Jing Tianlie.
"Dad, actually...the Ministry of Industry is the richest. Everything that Long Chengen tinkered with is produced in the Ministry of Industry."
After a while, Jing Heng whispered.
Jing Tianlie immediately thought of the key and said coldly: "No wonder this dead eunuch handed over the Ministry of Household Affairs so quickly, but was tightly held in the hands of the Ministry of Works."
Jing Heng said: "Dad, he is a eunuch who can concurrently serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works. I also..."
Jing Tianlie looked at Jing Heng coldly and cursed: "If you have Long Chengen's ability, why should I worry about you?"
Jing Heng was scolded so much that he didn't dare to say a word.
"You go out."
Jing Tianlie sat down and Jing Heng quickly left the room.
"How soon will they come back?"
Jing Tianlie asked.
Wuming suddenly appeared in the room and said, "I'll be back tomorrow. Because of the wind and snow, my steps are a little slow."
Jing Tianlie counted the days and said: "The day after tomorrow is the day for the court meeting. Come back tomorrow..."
....
West Palace, Qiuxing Hall.
Long Chen was waving a spear in the snow, while Zhang Qian, the others, and the maids from the West Palace were all watching.
All the eunuchs in the palace were neither yin nor yang in appearance, only Long Chen had a masculine and upright figure. He deliberately went shirtless when practicing his spear to give benefits to the lonely palace maids.
"Wow, the manager is so masculine and a good man!"
"If I could marry such a man, I would be willing to die."
"Even if it's a eunuch, I still want it!"
"I heard that Xiao'e and Daiyu slept with Master Long. They said that Master Long was very powerful."
"Nonsense, they have only bathed with Master Long, never slept together."
Long Chen was tossing and turning in the snow, the iron gun in his hand making a whirring sound, and the snow on the ground was picked up by the wind, forming a snow tornado around it.
"Master Long's cultivation has improved again?"
Zhang Qian said in surprise.
Qingyue shook her head and said: "No way, isn't he the peak king? If he progresses further, he will reach the realm of the Martial Emperor. He is a eunuch. Without the introduction of Yanghuo, it is impossible to break through."
Long Chen put away his iron spear, and the snow tornado around him fell down.
He had faint signs of a breakthrough just now, but he still almost didn't rush through.
For those below the king, martial arts and physical fitness are exercised.
After breaking through the king and entering the realm of the Martial Emperor, the body's martial energy can be condensed to a certain extent and it can affect the surrounding things, just like rolling up snowflakes just now.
"It's still a bit hot."
In more than a year, he went from a useless person to the peak of a king. This was already an amazing speed, and Long Chen didn't dare to be greedy.
Martial arts is a road of hard work. He has taken a shortcut and cannot reach Shu.
Back at the corridor, Xiang Ning rushed over with a towel and diligently wiped Long Chen's arms.
The onlookers were filled with envy and jealousy:
"Xiang Ning really stayed with Mr. Long."
"I'm so envious. She's wiping the body of Manager Long, ah... I'm so envious."
"I also want to wipe away the sweat for Mr. Long."
Zhang Qian saw that the palace maids around her looked like idiots, and couldn't help but said: "You'd better go into the house, be careful not to be eaten by them, not even the bones and dregs will be left."
Long Chen deliberately turned around and waved, causing a burst of screams.
Xuan Yi couldn't stand it anymore, pushed Long Chen into the house, and complained: "Xiao Longlong, I didn't expect you to be so coquettish."
Long Chen smiled and said: "What do you know? This is called romantic, what is saucy or not?"
Qingyue complained: "It's just coquettish and flirtatious."
Long Chen leaned the iron gun against the wall, opened his arms and said, "Okay, it's welfare time, I want to take a shower, who will accompany me?"
Qingyue and Xuan Yi immediately said: "Me!"
Zhang Qian said with disdain: "You just said he was naughty, girls, can you be more reserved?"
Xuan Yi said: "I know Sissi has always been very reserved, so don't come."
The two of them dragged Long Chen into the bathroom, leaving Xiang Ning with a sad look on her face.
"Obviously I came first, why?"
Xiang Ning threw the towel on the ground and said aggrievedly.
Zhang Qian picked up the towel and comforted: "He is just a scumbag... a scumbag eunuch, forget it."
Under the service of two beauties, Long Chen took a bath comfortably.
After coming out of the bathroom, they returned to the room and sat down. Xuan Yi and Qing Yue were slowly combing their hair, while Zhang Qian was making tea.
"Where's Xiang Ning?"
Long Chen found that Xiang Ning was not in the room.
"She left the palace to buy some things."
As soon as Zhang Qian finished speaking, Xiang Ning came in from outside with a letter in her hand and said, "Sir, someone just asked me to give this to you."
Another secret letter?
Long Chen accepted it and opened the envelope. There was only one sentence inside: The secret guard will bring Shui Han's body back to Beijing tomorrow.
Zhang Qian quickly walked to the door, locked it, and looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
"Did Jing Tianlie dig out Shui Han's body?"
Qingyue was a little unbelievable.
The deceased was laid to rest, but Jing Tianlie actually dug Shui Han's grave.
Long Chen sneered and said: "Zhengdou is a fight to the death. In order to get rid of me, what can't Jing Tianlie do?"
Digging someone's grave is a heinous crime, but to kill a political opponent, it doesn't matter.
"The final showdown is coming."
Zhang Qian said coldly.
Long Chen thought for a while and said: "Let's go to the princess."
Xiang Ning stayed in the room, while Long Chen and the others took the secret letter to the West Palace Bedroom, where Di Luoxi was meditating.
"Princess, Shui Han's body has been exhumed and will arrive in the capital tomorrow."
After entering the door, Xuan Yi said softly.
Di Luoxi opened her eyes and said slowly: "We will arrive tomorrow, and we will meet at court the day after tomorrow. That will be the day after tomorrow."
Long Chen shook his head and said: "Jing Heng went to the household department today but failed. Jing Tianlie must be furious. I guess he will ask for a meeting tomorrow."
