Facing Manager Li's threat, Ye Cheng became angry and his face turned cold.
Manager Li actually had the nerve to come to the prince and complain.
He was obviously the one who started the trouble.
Before Ye Cheng could say anything, Manager Li knelt in front of Ling Xiaoyue, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and burst into tears, crying in front of the prince:
"Your Highness, you must also make decisions for this old slave! Ye Cheng, who refuses to obey discipline, actually beat Eunuch Xu and others in public, has gone against the will of heaven!"
Ye Cheng was shocked when he saw Manager Li's performance.
These tears, this expression, I will be sorry if I don't award you an Oscar.
"Ye Cheng? Dog slave, what trouble have you caused again?"
Ling Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows and glanced at him with cold eyes.
She was in a very depressed mood now and had no time to pay attention to the eunuchs' biting.
However, General Manager Li is an old man in the Prince's Mansion. He has been with her for more than ten years, so he always wants to give General Manager Li some face.
Ye Cheng's heart sank. Hearing the prince's tone, he was afraid that he would be beaten severely today.
He could tell that Ling Xiaoyue was in a very depressed mood, which might have something to do with the four Buddha statues in front of her.
Ye Cheng did not directly answer Ling Xiaoyue's words, but asked: "Is His Highness's troubles related to these four Buddha statues?"
"Huh? Even you can see it. This is a difficult problem posed by the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin to this king."
Ling Xiaoyue smiled bitterly in her heart.
Now that her father is in poor health, she oversees the country and handles government affairs.
Today at the court meeting, the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin asked a difficult question, and no one in the court could answer it.
It really undermines the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty.
She simply took the Buddha statue back to the Prince's Mansion and prepared to think about it all night.
However, these four Buddha statues are exactly the same. Which one is the most respected?
Ye Cheng smiled and said: "Your Highness, you might as well tell me, this villain may have a way."
Manager Li sneered twice and immediately mocked: "This is a difficult problem posed by the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty cannot solve it. Can you, a little eunuch, do something about it?"
"If you don't let me try, how do you know there's nothing I can do?" Ye Cheng retorted.
"If you have any idea, we'll chop off the head and make a stool for you to sit on." Manager Li continued to say in a strange and sinister manner.
However, Ling Xiaoyue's eyes lit up and she said in a strange way: "Since you have a way, you might as well try it. The question for the Jin Kingdom envoy is, if the Buddha statue is not smashed open, which of the four Buddha statues is the most valuable."
"Is it that simple?" Ye Cheng smiled.
The era that Ye Cheng lived in in his previous life was an era of information explosion. This problem could not trouble him at all.
Moreover, the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin said that he would not break open the Buddha statues, which was also a trick and was misleading, making ordinary people think that there were treasures in the Buddha statues.
"Haha, you think it's easy?"
Ling Xiaoyue bit her tiny silver teeth and glared at Ye Cheng.
She didn't believe that Ye Cheng could solve the mystery at all.
"As long as His Highness finds a branch for the villain, the villain will be able to solve the puzzle immediately." Ye Cheng said.
"Find him a branch quickly. I want to see how he solves the puzzle."
Ling Xiaoyue ordered the eunuch beside her.
After a while, a eunuch came back with a willow stick from outside.
Ye Cheng took the branch and walked to the middle of the four Buddha statues.
As soon as he entered, he noticed that there were small holes in the four Buddha statues.
The puzzle can be solved by passing a branch through the small hole on the Buddha statue.
I saw Ye Cheng walking up to a Buddha statue, inserting a branch into the small hole in the left ear of the Buddha, and the branch came out from the small hole in the right ear.
"This Buddha statue goes in with its left ear and comes out with its right ear. It turns a deaf ear to other people's words. It is obviously not the most precious thing."
Ye Cheng said calmly.
When Ling Xiaoyue heard this, she was shocked and her thoughts suddenly opened up.
His clear eyes were full of surprise.
Ye Cheng came to another Buddha statue and still passed the branch through the left ear of the Buddha, but the branch came out of the Buddha's mouth.
"This Buddha statue will say whatever it hears. How can such a person deserve the trust of others? So it is not the most precious."
Ye Cheng continued.
Ling Xiaoyue was so shocked that she couldn't even close her little mouth.
Why didn't she think of such a simple question?
I saw Ye Cheng coming to the third Buddha statue.
This Buddha statue is different from other Buddha statues in that it does not have small holes in its body.
Ye Cheng patted the belly of the Buddha statue. There was a thumping sound and he found that the belly of the Buddha statue was empty.
He smiled and said: "This Buddha statue is pretending to be deaf and mute. It has an empty belly. It obviously has no talent and learning. It symbolizes those idiots who have nothing in their belly and can only pretend to be deaf and mute."
Ling Xiaoyue was completely convinced by Ye Cheng and nodded in agreement.
Finally, Ye Cheng walked to the last Buddha statue and inserted the branch from the left ear of the Buddha statue. The branch penetrated along the left ear into the belly of the Buddha statue.
Ye Cheng said: "This Buddha statue represents those who can keep what they hear in their stomachs. In comparison, this Buddha statue is naturally the most precious."
Ling Xiaoyue was stunned.
Completely impressed by Ye Cheng's explanation.
She was astonished.
No one in the civil or military circles of the dynasty could solve this mystery. Unexpectedly, it was solved by a little eunuch next to him.
Now, Ling Xiaoyue thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that this puzzle was very simple.
But without Ye Cheng's guidance, Ling Xiaoyue was looking at the mountains in the fog, unable to figure out whether he was alive or dead.
Ye Cheng's explanation was as enlightening as clearing the air.
"Wonderful! It's really wonderful! No one in the civil and military dynasties has thought of it. I didn't expect that a little eunuch like you could crack it!"
Ling Xiaoyue touched her palms and smiled.
"The villain dare not take credit. This is just a villain following His Highness and learning a little wisdom from His Highness."
Ye Cheng was very humble and immediately flattered the prince.
His many years of experience in the workplace told him that at this time, he must not take the credit and be arrogant, but should give the credit to the leader.
Ling Xiaoyue nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "By the way, what were you talking about just now?"
"Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me! This little eunuch used his power to bully others and beat Eunuch Xu so badly that he will probably be bedridden for several months. It really makes everyone cry when he hears it, and sad when he sees it."
Manager Li refused to give up.
"I know about this matter. Since Eunuch Xu can no longer handle the matter, I will let Ye Cheng serve as the deputy general manager from now on."
Ling Xiaoyue also knew that these eunuchs were fighting openly and secretly in private, but she didn't have time to understand.
Since Ye Cheng had merit, he would naturally be rewarded.
When Manager Li heard this, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell down.
This time he complained in front of the prince. Not only did he not bring down the bastard Ye Cheng, but he was promoted to the position of deputy general manager.
The official position is just one level lower than him.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness." Ye Cheng smiled inwardly and glanced at Manager Li coldly.
This old boy probably never dreamed that he would become the deputy general manager of the Prince's Mansion.
"In addition, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver."
Ling Xiaoyue was in a good mood and was not stingy with rewards.
The news that Ye Cheng became the deputy general manager of the Prince's Mansion quickly spread throughout the Prince's Mansion.
When Lin Yaoxue heard the news, she couldn't help but be surprised, "This Ye Cheng actually became the deputy general manager?"
