Wang Wei was facing Long Chen, their eyes facing each other.
Long Chen looked directly into Wang Wei's eyes and said, "I guarantee your safety and the safety of your child."
Wang Wei stared at Long Chen and thought for a long time, then said: "Okay, I promise you."
After all, Wang Wei could not bear to part with the glory and wealth of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and could not bear to part with his wife, concubines and children.
If he doesn't agree to Long Chen, Wang Wei will die.
He promised Long Chen that he could survive for a while.
Humans are bound to die sooner or later, so live one more day and earn one more day.
"Okay, I will report this matter to Your Majesty. You will be absolutely safe in Great Zhou. I will handle the matter with the people from the Imperial City Department."
Wang Wei stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Lord Long."
Long Chen chuckled and said: "There is no need to be polite, Wang Shangshu will still have to suffer a bit."
outside the door.
Zhang Qian and Wu Jian guarded the door, while Bai Tingting was further outside.
All the officials in the Ministry of War seemed to be afraid to join in the fun, hiding in their rooms and working on official documents, but in fact they all pricked up their ears, hoping to hear the slightest movement.
Fang Yu, the director of the Arsenal Department, was counting the ordnance supplies of the Ministry of War in his hands, but his mind was on Wang Wei.
A scream like a slaughtering pig came from the back office of the main hall. Fang Yu could faintly hear the yelling, followed by a burst of noise.
"I have been in the Ministry of War for decades and have never encountered such humiliation!"
Wang Wei ran out of the back office wearing only a pair of trousers, left the Ministry of War barefoot, and then went to the palace to complain.
"Everyone gather, Lord Long is giving a lecture!"
Bai Tingting shouted in the corridor, and all the officials came out of the room and gathered in the main hall.
Long Chen sat at the head with a gloomy expression. Zhang Qian and Wu Jian did not stand behind Long Chen, but stood outside, as if they wanted to block everyone's way.
When everyone was gathered, Long Chen said in a cold tone: "You have all seen what happened just now. The minister, Wang Wei, relied on his old age and acted like an old man. He did not obey the Holy Emperor's will and contradicted me at every turn. This is rebellion!"
"This official is just a small punishment but a big warning. All the mistakes are Wang Wei's fault. Do you remember that?"
The officials present understood that Long Chen was trying to unify his voice.
"My subordinates will remember it."
Bai Tingting was the first to speak, and the other officials only responded.
"Okay, you guys go down and do whatever you have to do."
Long Chen waved away everyone and returned to Houya unhappily.
Everyone came out of the main hall, feeling that there was a big fuss this time.
The dignified minister of the Ministry of War beat and humiliated the minister of the Ministry of War in public. Such a ridiculous thing had never happened in the Zhou Dynasty.
But it's hard to say whether anything will happen in the end.
Because Long Chen's status was so special, the empress and princesses showed great favor to him, especially the fourth princess, Emperor Luo Xi, who almost became Long Chen's little daughter-in-law.
I thought so in my heart, but no one dared to say it. They all immersed themselves in work.
Half an hour later, a group of female soldiers in embroidered clothes stopped outside the door. The female officer Di Waner led the female soldiers into the military headquarters. When Wu Jian saw Di Waner, he quickly saluted: "Master Di, why are you here?"
Di Waner looked helpless and asked, "Where is Master Long?"
Wu Jian did not answer, but asked: "Did Wang Shilang go to the palace to complain?"
Di Waner sighed: "Master Long is not such an arrogant and domineering person. Why this time... stop talking and take me to see Master Long."
Wu Jian immediately took Di Waner into the back office. Outside the room, Wu Jian stopped and Di Waner went in by herself.
Di Waner was anxious and pushed the door open without knocking. She saw Zhang Qian leaning in Long Chen's arms, Long Chen's hands were under her skirt, Zhang Qian's face was flushed, and her breathing was slightly short of breath...
"this..."
Di Waner turned around and went out, her face flushed with embarrassment.
She has never seen anything like this in the harem, it feels... so exciting!
Zhang Qian quickly got up and put on her clothes, and cursed in a low voice: "I told you not to mess around during the day!"
Long Chen washed his hands and said with a smile: "Why are you ashamed? Everyone knows it anyway."
"Master Di, please come in."
Long Chen walked to the door with a smile and said.
Di Waner didn't dare to look directly at Long Chen, but she secretly glanced at Long Chen's wet fingers, and her heart palpitated.
She was in the harem and had long heard that Long Chen's fingering techniques could make people ecstasy, but today she actually encountered him.
Di Waner hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and walked inside.
Zhang Qian awkwardly saluted: "Master Di."
Di Waner also bowed awkwardly: "General Zhang is here too."
But Long Chen was not embarrassed. This Di Waner was plump and tender, so they might do it together one day.
"What kind of wind brings Master Di here?"
Long Chen asked with a smile.
Di Waner calmed down and said seriously: "Master Long, you have always been prudent in doing things, why are you so ridiculous this time? Wang Wei is an old man in the Ministry of War, and he has many friends in the court. You beat and humiliated Wang Wei, the impact is too bad!
"
"Now that Wang Wei has entered the palace shirtless, the civil and military officials of the entire court know about it. The entire capital will know about it tomorrow. How do you want the Holy One to deal with it?"
Long Chen said in shock: "Wang Wei really entered the palace?"
Di Waner sighed helplessly: "Yes, he just went home, and he walked back shirtless and barefoot. Now everyone in the capital knows it."
Long Chen pinched his forehead and felt a terrible headache.
"I took office yesterday, but he didn't come; I sat in court today, but he didn't come either. I just wanted to punish him with small punishments, but I didn't expect..."
Di Waner said speechlessly: "Master Long, do you call this a small punishment but a big commandment?"
Long Chen chuckled and said: "The situation in the Ministry of War is special. Wang Wei is Bai Qiulian's subordinate. I killed Bai Qiulian. If Wang Wei is not dealt with clearly, I will have no prestige in the Ministry of War. Please understand, Mr. Di."
What Long Chen said was correct. He and Bai Qiulian were enemies. Without Wang Wei, the officials in the Ministry of War would not be obedient.
Di Waner said helplessly: "It's useless for me to understand, Lord Xuan has entered the palace."
Long Chen's expression froze and he said, "It's not to this point, is it?"
Di Waner was speechless: "My Lord Long, things are getting serious."
Long Chen sighed and said: "I just want to beat him and make him be more honest. Why did he really go to complain?"
"Okay, I'll follow you into the palace."
Long Chen stood up, Di Waner led the way, Zhang Qian followed, and the group left the military headquarters and headed for the palace.
Seeing Long Chen leaving, the people from the Ministry of War began to whisper:
"Shilang Wang really went to the palace to complain."
"Master Long...it's hard to say this time."
"The Holy Lady's female officer came with troops to convey the decree. This matter will not end well."
"Let's talk less. When gods fight, we should talk less."
Fang Yu, the head of the Arsenal Department, looked at Long Chen's back, rolled his eyes, and then lowered his head to work on official documents.
Long Chen followed Di Waner to the entrance of Fengming Palace. Di Waner went in to report, while Long Chen was waiting at the door.
After waiting for a long time, Di Waner still didn't come out.
Long Chen knew that the empress was deliberately trying to show off her.
The two maids next to him had cold expressions on their faces, and they obviously knew that, hence their expressions.
These maids were the most snobbish. When Long Chen came here, they were all smiling and fawning, but now their attitude has changed.
An hour later, Di Waner came out and said, "Your Majesty lets you in."
