Chapter 357: Changes in the inner courtyard of the palace
The communication with these poisons went very smoothly, as the clouded leopard said.
After a short time, the snakes took the lead, followed by other reptiles, and the remaining poisonous flies and poisonous bees flew in the sky, all of which left the enemy's stronghold and surrendered to Mai Ke's camp.
The thugs who defended the stronghold tried to block it, but they couldn't stop it, and it seemed that the clouded leopard's appeal was much higher than that of the thugs.
With the help of these poisons, it is impossible to stop them, and without them, they are even more helpless. The leader of the stronghold saw that nothing could be done, and simply surrendered.
So far, all the strongholds of the thugs have been wiped out, most of the thugs have been captured alive, and some of them have disarmed and surrendered when they see that something is wrong.
In this way, Chen Duqing and Chen Xi, father and son, respectively completed the two basic tasks of taking sides in the DPRK and China and eliminating the thugs in the underground society.
But these are just preparations, and the real core task has not yet begun.
Following the first three steps of the third strategy of the Six Plans, the expeditionary force captured Nguyen Chi Hung, established a provisional government, cleared the stronghold of the rioters, and then took two more steps: one to take control of the royal family, and the other to accept the army.
The previous steps were all written by the grandfather and the grandson of Wu. The latter two items were transferred one by one, the text was handed over to Chen Xi, and the martial ones were handed over to Chen Duqing.
Chen Xi was originally a senior eunuch in the palace, otherwise he would not have been sent to be the eunuch deputy envoy to the suzerain. He came back this time for a high-sounding reason, that is, he was sent by their direct governor, the chief of the Manchu Imperial Palace, to invite the chief of the Ouchi of Annan to attend the annual meeting. There are important things to discuss.
Therefore, Chen Xi went to see the chief eunuch openly.
This steward's surname is Ruan, but he has no blood relationship with the royal family and the Shouzai family, so he has no special allegiance to these two clans. If there is a blood relationship, it will not be effectively loyal. You have been promoted and rich, and your children and grandchildren are full, but I am alone, and I have no children and grandchildren, how can I give up?
Chen Xi has always had a good relationship with him, because he knows the reason why Chen Xi entered the palace. And from this comes sympathy.
Therefore, Chen Xi went to see him directly.
"Uncle Nguyen. Nephew Chen Xi has kowtowed to you!"
"Hehe! It's good to be back. Get up and let me see if you've changed?"
It would have been just a general expression of concern. But when I looked at it, I couldn't help but be surprised!
Why is it so much higher?
He asked the question right away. Now I really care.
"Eat well in the Heavenly Empire!" Chen Xi said perfunctorily, it was not time to say that he had regained his male style.
Ruan Dawei said in his heart, you eat well. I guess I can grow more meat. Why did you grow so tall? Much taller than your grandfather. However, he did not continue to ask.
"Tell me why you're back?"
This is going to tell him the truth. So we had a meeting at the end of the year. There is one thing that will be said at the meeting......
"What?" Ruan Dawei, who was still there just now, stood up all of a sudden, his eyes wide open. It seems that people are going to be chosen and devoured.
Thinking about it, this Uncle Ruan is only forty years old, and of course he is extremely eager to revive his strength. It's just that the news is a little too good to be believed.
Chen Xi couldn't help but smile, he was not the same as he was at the beginning, only such a good thing really happened to him, and he could truly believe it.
However, considering that people are of the same mind, since this is the case, he discussed with Mai Ke before he was old, if he took this general manager over, he would help to develop a successful scene.
Others have to wait until the end of the year, that is, there is nothing in between, and in the case of Annan, of course, we cannot wait, and there is no need to wait. By that time, Anan would no longer have eunuchs!
Therefore, when Uncle Ruan said that he did not believe in such a thing, and that he was expecting such a eunuch to regain his strength, it was simply impossible. When he had finished speaking, he sat down again in frustration, looking depressed and full of melancholy.
"How about a bet, Uncle Ruan?"
"What kind of gambling? Did you learn to gamble after going to Beijing for a few years without doing serious business?"
"That's the right thing! Uncle Ruan, you always don't believe it, so I want to know if you want to bet on it. I bet that I will be able to make you like ordinary people, and pass on the lineage! Do you dare to bet without success?"
"Are you really here, boy? Okay! I'll bet with you! What conditions do you want?"
"I don't ask for anything else, if I win, from that day on, the affairs of the Imperial Palace Ouchi will be arranged by me, including Uncle Ruan, and you will also listen to me, although you will still be in charge of Ouchi. Do you dare to say yes?"
"I thought it was a big deal! I'd wanted to give you this position for a long time. Well, if you win, I, the chief executive, will listen to you! But what if you lose?"
"If I lose, just like your old wish, I will give you a son and give you a pension to the end, so it's always okay, right?"
How many times has Ruan Dawei raised this matter, but Chen Xi has never agreed. Where was he in the mood to do such things at that time? Now in order to lure the fish into the bait, he took the initiative to put it forward as a condition.
"Hahaha! Great! Uncle Ruan, I took advantage of you. But what's mine is yours anyway, and you don't lose anything. Haha
This Uncle Ruan really took the bait, and in order to achieve this goal, he took the big bet. Besides, he really couldn't imagine that he could lose the bet.
The two reached a betting agreement, and Chen Xi immediately took him to his home, where Mai Ke was waiting. As soon as the two met, they exchanged pleasantries, and Mai Ke began to treat him. He is now a family doctor hired by the Chen family.
Mai Ke generally operated the spirit rhino and chatted while drinking Ruan Dawei, but before he could say three or five sentences, the diagnosis and treatment had ended.
When Ruan Dawei saw the results of the diagnosis and treatment, his first reaction was to kowtow to Mai Ke. This kindness is too great, even far higher than the grace of saving lives!
Mai Ke hurriedly grabbed it with one hand and didn't let him knock down. He struggled for a while, and when he saw that he couldn't break free, he stopped. Only then did he cover his face and cry bitterly.
When his mood stabilized a little, he said to Mai Ke: "I don't say how to repay it; I, Nguyen Dawei, hereby swear that from now on, I will obey the benefactor's dispatch in everything!"
"Uncle Nguyen, don't forget your bet with me......"
"Stinky boy, how dare you deceive your uncle!
To be able to be the head of the inner house, of course, is very smart, as soon as he was cured, after a little thought, he understood the key to the inside. With such a good doctor here, can Chen Jiayan cure his successor?
Chen Xi raised his thumbs in admiration and praised: "Uncle Ruan is amazing! Sure enough, he can guess it! But the bet still counts, right?"
Mai Ke kept smiling and watching the two of them bickering, and then interjected: "Okay." Let's talk about it and see what we do next. (To be continued......)
