"I heard that in the summer, there is something going on at the Hansheng Pass again?"
A lazy voice came from above the main hall, and all the civil and military officials present heard it clearly.
But the strange thing is that no one came forward to answer.
All the officials were submissive, not even daring to raise their heads, as if they were extremely afraid of the one sitting on the throne.
This is not surprising either.
Who does not know how the one who sits on the throne came to be king?
Who doesn’t know how many people’s bones this man had to walk through the sea of blood before he sat on the throne.
What is even more incredible is that if someone else usurped the throne, they would have united some forces and relied on collective strength to go through many difficulties and dangers before finally getting their wish.
But this...
"What? I asked you a question, but no one answered?"
The cold voice came again, and the temperature in the hall seemed to suddenly drop several degrees. Several weak civil servants trembled unconsciously several times, but in the end they just shrank and buried their heads lower.
At this time, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore and stood up.
That was a eunuch.
"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that Cao Yuan, whom you ordered to inspect not long ago, must have already arrived."
The eunuch's voice was high-pitched and thin, but it sounded unusually pleasant to the emperor's ears.
His originally cold face suddenly felt warm, but when he looked down, his cold expression returned.
"Yes, why did I forget? Aiqing reminded me that unlike these guys below, who are motionless and dare not say anything. I really don't know what the imperial court has been doing to support you for so many years."
As soon as these words came out, there was suddenly no sound in the main hall where there was still some breathing sound.
This time, even the breath he was holding disappeared.
If it weren't for the dense crowd of people standing in the main hall, one would almost think that the main hall was empty!
Everyone is aware of their suffering.
Serving this moody king is no joke.
Just say something. He thinks you are noisy, so if you get angry for a moment, he will be dragged out and chopped.
Just don't say anything. He still thinks you are taking advantage of the king's salary but doesn't know how to share the king's worries. He can also find a reason to kill you.
If Eunuch Cao hadn't come out to speak, he wouldn't have named anyone who didn't like him, so he would have dragged them out and beheaded them.
Thinking of this, all the officials couldn't help but turn their eyes to the man standing next to the emperor, and cast a grateful look.
Fortunately, this person is here, otherwise, I am afraid that one of the civil and military officials in this hall will be missing.
Then, Eunuch Cao whispered to the emperor in a low voice, relaying the situation of Xianshengguan one by one.
These are first-hand information sent back through Qianli Pigeon.
It was the father-in-law in the palace who was the first to know.
The original intelligence agency of the imperial court seemed to be in vain!
In fact, the man at the helm of the Military Aircraft Department was none other than Eunuch Cao Qingcao, the chief steward of the imperial palace.
In this case, anyone who is slightly familiar with history will think of a term that has considerable weight in history:
Eunuchs are in power!
Although the actual situation is slightly different, it is generally not much different.
The only thing that differs is the time.
This is a world of high martial arts!
Although relatively speaking, ordinary people still make up the majority.
But this is a world where one person gathers great power and one body.
Take the one on the throne as an example.
Don't look at his pale face, looking sick.
But once he gets angry, it won't be a big deal if the whole hall is instantly razed to the ground.
All the officials in the hall have witnessed this terrifying power with their own eyes.
It's not surprising that it takes a lot of courage for them just to look up at His Majesty.
But Eunuch Cao is different.
This person has been following His Majesty the Emperor since he was still a prince.
He also has considerable strength. The feminine Lotus Treasure Jian Gong is even more superb, reaching the peak of perfection.
It's not far away from the natural disaster level, it's just one step behind his master.
Therefore, although His Majesty the Emperor never concealed his powerful Ice Skill in the main hall, to Eunuch Cao, it was just drizzle.
Of course, superficial work still needs to be done.
Seeing his confidant's thin body trembling slightly, the emperor couldn't help but express concern.
"How are you, Lao Cao? Is my skill too high, which makes you uncomfortable? How about I restrain myself? I didn't care whether he expressed it or not, and took a deep breath.
An immediate effect was seen, and the temperature above the hall began to rise visibly to the naked eye.
Eunuch Cao's complexion also improved, and a blush appeared.
He immediately fell at his feet and burst into tears of gratitude.
"Your Majesty is sympathetic to this old slave. I really have nothing to repay. I can only do my best to repay Your Majesty for your kindness."
To be honest, everyone present, including His Majesty the Emperor, knew that Eunuch Cao's strength was bottomless.
Although the emperor's ice energy was very strong, it logically would not have any impact on this person.
But this person really knows how to behave.
Although there was some element of performance, everyone present, regardless of their superiority or inferiority, appreciated his affection.
One is to listen comfortably.
The other side is freedom from suffering.
All in all, everyone is happy.
In short, the main hall, which was originally supposed to be a place for officials to discuss matters, became a scene where eunuchs and monarchs whispered.
The whole scene looked extremely weird.
But the people in the main hall took it for granted and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
The master and the servant whispered for a long time, and finally said one thing.
"Old Cao, have you felt that there seems to be another big guy appearing in the direction of Xuanshengguan!"
"I feel it too. Maybe it's not as strong as His Majesty's. I think I'm on the same level as His Majesty..."
"oh?"
The emperor sneered.
"Really? You feel this way too? It seems to be correct."
After saying this, the emperor, who had been cynical just now, looked as if he had sunk into the water, and his expression was more solemn than ever before.
"It seems that even if General Chen Han is not ill, he may not be able to resist."
After a pause, a trace of enthusiasm flashed across the emperor's face.
This expression happened to be caught by Eunuch Cao, and he suddenly felt something bad. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the emperor had already spoken.
"Old Cao, pass this on, I want to lead the expedition myself!"
This sentence was said in front of all civil and military officials.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and fell down one after another. The hall that had been quiet just now became an uproar because of these words.
A group of civil and military ministers didn't care much at this time, and started to give advice one after another.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
"Your Majesty has a body of ten thousand gold. How can you put yourself in danger just because of some barbarians? What's more, there is Chen Zheng guarding Hansheng Pass. Hansheng Pass has never been lost since its establishment. Please take back your imperial order and wait for the victory with peace of mind." Just message.”
"Yes! Your Majesty, think twice!"
Someone took the lead, and others immediately followed and agreed.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the main hall were united as never before.
All they want is for me to stay in this miserable place!
You just don’t want me to move, right?
I don’t want to!
The emperor looked at the "passionate performance" of the ministers in the audience with disdain written on his face.
"Okay, I've made up my mind, that's it, Old Cao...Old Cao? What are you doing?"
The emperor looked at Eunuch Cao kneeling at his feet in surprise, and thought of another possibility.
Eunuch Cao looked up at the emperor and said.
"Your Majesty, this old servant thinks that the opinions of the officials are not wrong. Your Majesty is really rich in gold. The journey is long and the risks are too great. It is better to wait and see for the time being."
At this moment, the emperor became curious. He looked at his confidant suspiciously and found that the other party was not making sarcastic remarks, nor did he seem to be making excuses.
That is to say...
"Have you done a divination?"
Eunuch Cao bowed his head and worshiped again.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. It is not a good idea to conduct a personal expedition at this time."
Seeing that his confidant did not deny it, the emperor fell into deep thought.
He didn't have to accept the suggestions of the officials, but Lao Cao, who had special skills, also said so, so he had to think carefully.
After thinking for a while, the emperor asked again.
"Are you sure now is not the best time? If I go... Is it in danger?"
Lao Cao lowered his head and said nothing. All the civil and military officials present stared at the master and servant closely.
Although it was clear that the emperor would listen to Eunuch Cao most of the time.
But that’s just most of the time…
There are also times when accidents happen.
But fortunately, nothing happened again, and His Majesty the Emperor finally changed his mind after the "admonishment" of hundreds of officials.
"Forget it, forget it. Isn't it okay if I don't go?"
Just when everyone was relieved, this one said something again, which made the officials raise their hearts to their throats.
"But if there is a suitable time, I will still go, let's forget it this time!"
