In addition, Xiao Chen also learned in detail the identity of Liu Ruyun. She was originally the third princess of the six southern kingdoms of China and Myanmar. She was beautiful, intelligent, and good at riding and shooting. She was a rare woman with both civil and military skills.
She is very prestigious in Myanmar, and her reputation is even higher than that of her prince brother.
Later, Li Wanjiang's army of 100,000 troops came to the border and prepared to destroy Burma in one fell swoop. The king and ministers of Burma were frightened and at a loss.
It was Liu Ruyun who stepped forward and expressed his voluntary commitment to the Emperor of Zhou in exchange for the peace of the country.
After Li Wanjiang considered it, he agreed and made her a noble concubine. He also named the king of Burma the King of the South, nominally incorporating Burma into the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty...
Some people are very much in favor of this, and of course many people are against it, so there is no need to go into details.
Through these memorials, Xiao Chen had a general understanding of the world situation and the officials in the court.
This will be of great help to what he will do in the future.
Gong Shouli must have never expected that he originally wanted to fix Xiao Chen, but he accidentally fulfilled his wish.
In fact, at Gong Shouli's level, he is simply not qualified for the important position of Chief Ceremony Supervisor, Palm Print Eunuch. If you think he doesn't even care about such an important department as the Archives Hall, and manages it so loosely, he is simply a fool!
He was one of Li Wanjiang's most trusted people, and he had a very bad temper. Some people had given him advice before, but he didn't say nice things. He thought they were mocking his incompetence, so he even found someone to blame and killed him...
In this case, who would dare to persuade him? He can only be allowed to do whatever he wants.
From a glance, it seems that Li Wanjiang is not very smart when it comes to employing people.
Or he has no choice, because the current situation in the world is not stable, and the palace may be full of crises, so in more important positions, he can only use his confidants.
So being an emperor is actually quite helpless sometimes.
Xiao Chen knew that his every move was under the surveillance of others, so he was extremely cautious in doing things. He only read these memorials in the warehouse and never took any pieces of paper out.
"Sir, what's so interesting about these files that you can't stop reading them all day long? If you want to read them, why don't you take them back to read them? It's so dark here, don't hurt your eyes!"
Zhao Xicai, who was waiting on the side, couldn't understand why Xiao Chen was interested in this pile of junk?
"Have you forgotten the rules I just made? The memorials and files here are very important. No one is allowed to take them out without permission, and I am no exception. Also, whoever comes to borrow them must register it carefully and sign it!"
As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, a middle-aged eunuch hurriedly ran out. As soon as he came in, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Who is that? Quickly find me the flood memorial that was reported by the prefect of Jiangzhou last autumn. Eunuch Gong asked for it." Hurry, hurry up!”
This eunuch was called Zhao Laifu. He was a close confidant of Gong Shouli and relied on his master's power. He was used to being domineering in the palace and had no basic respect for Xiao Chen, the superior officer.
He said that such a big man was sitting here, but he didn't see it?
"Are you talking to me?" Xiao Chen's face instantly darkened.
"Hey, it turns out to be Eunuch Xiao. It's so dark here that you can't see anything. If you don't say anything, I don't even know there's someone sitting here! I'm giving you a gift... What are you doing standing there? Hurry and find me. Damn it! Everyone is deaf or stupid!"
Zhao Laifu chuckled, nodded casually to Xiao Chen as a salute, then turned around and yelled at Zhao Xicai and others.
No one moved, they all looked at Xiao Chen together.
"Let's find it for him." Xiao Chen didn't want to be the same as him.
Because I had a detailed catalog, I quickly found and retrieved the memorial. If it had been before, I might not have been able to find it for a long time!
"Come on, see you later, Eunuch Xiao!" Zhao Laifu grabbed the memorial and turned around and left.
"Come back!" Xiao Chen yelled.
"Do you have anything else?" Zhao Laifu was startled and turned around with a suspicious look on his face.
"According to the rules, anyone who wants to read the memorial must sign it." Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Stop talking nonsense, who has the patience to do this? Eunuch Gong is waiting for it. He will send it back to you after reading it, hehe!"
Zhao Laifu showed that contemptuous expression inadvertently and was looked at by Xiao Chen.
"Are you calling me nonsense?" Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Hey, how dare I scold you? I scolded a few of them. When you said that, weren't you looking for scolding? Gah gah gah..." Zhao Laifu laughed arrogantly.
He didn't take Xiao Chen seriously at all.
"Haha, what a slave, he dares to insult Shangguan in public, and openly runs wild in the archives hall! Come on, take it down for me!" Xiao Chen slapped the table, full of anger.
Zhao Xicai and the others have long disliked this guy Zhao Laifu and have tolerated him for a long time.
After hearing Xiao Chen's order, he immediately agreed, swarmed up and pushed Zhao Laifu to the ground.
"What are you bastards doing? I am Zhao Laifu, and I am here to do something on the orders of Eunuch Gong. Let me go quickly, or I will let you all die!" Zhao Laifu shouted, arrogantly.
"Hit me." Xiao Chen ordered, and the eunuchs immediately took off Zhao Laifu's pants, revealing his big white buttocks.
There was no board here, so a few people found two bamboo poles, and without any explanation, they swung them and beat them hard.
The beating made Zhao Laifu cry for his father and mother.
At the beginning, he was still stubborn: "How dare you hit me? You really don't know how to live or die! Even if you can't do it, I teach you not to panic!"
After seven or eight carrying the pole down, the flesh on the buttocks was torn, the cheeks were twisted in pain, and the brows were sweating profusely: "You bastards, you beat me, you beat me, if you dare, beat me to death, otherwise we will fight you for our lives in front of Eunuch Gong!"
After about ten people carried the pole, they began to cry and beg for mercy: "Eunuch Xiao, Mr. Xiao, Ancestor Xiao, my biological grandfather! I know how powerful you are, please spare me. I won't dare to do it again..." "
Xiao Chen held a memorial in his hand and read it intently, turning a deaf ear to Zhao Laifu's cries for mercy.
He only said to hit, but he didn't say how much.
Zhao Xicai was afraid that he would really be beaten to death by Zhao Laifu, so he waved his hand to stop everyone, walked over and said softly: "Sir, I have been beaten for eighteen times, do you think?"
"Either we don't hit him, or if we want to hit him, we give him a few decent blows. Otherwise, even if it doesn't hurt, he will say that we hit him. How many times did we hit him? Eighteen strokes? Then we can round up the number... ...Let’s hit a hundred." Xiao Chen said.
"Okay, my Grandpa Xiao, he is already half dead. A few more blows will lead to death! The villain's life is nothing, it's all for Eunuch Gong's sake!" Zhao Laifu was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly He struggled to crawl over and kowtow desperately to beg for mercy.
"It's fine if you don't mention Eunuch Gong, but I'll be even more angry when you mention him. You're not dishonoring his dignity by acting so recklessly? This isn't because I want to beat you, it's because I'm beating you for Eunuch Gong, you know?"
"Who do you think you are? You dare to act wild in front of me? You are obviously afraid of polluting this clean place, otherwise I will beat you to death!"
Xiao Chen actually didn't want to argue with Zhao Laifu, a small character, but he went too far and made rude remarks to him in front of the big guys.
If he doesn't give him a severe beating, how will he be able to hang out in the palace in the future?
It's true that a tiger doesn't show off its power, but it really makes me think that I'm a sick cat!
Of course, I won't really beat him to death, I'll just vent my anger.
Zhao Xicai and others felt relieved after beating Zhao Laifu, but they were angry and relieved, but they didn't know how it would end?
