Chen Yunqing said again: "You may not know the way, the reason why this little Dezhang is favored is because he is young and beautiful, so the Empress Dowager Cixi ......" After speaking, she laughed evilly.

Of course, Lin Yuan understood what he meant, there were no men in the deep palace, so the concubines and palace maids found eunuchs to play some tricks of fake phoenixes, and there were many rumors in the market, saying how Cixi and the eunuchs were, in the past, Lin Yuan may still have a skeptical attitude, but after listening to Guan'er tell about life in the court, he understood that these rumors could not happen at all, no matter where the Empress Dowager Cixi went, there was a large group of palace maids following, how could she have an affair with the eunuchs.

Lin Yuan didn't say much to Chen Yunqing, so he came to the living room where Xiao Dezhang was, Lin Yuan was standing at the door, just about to go in, when he suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly found Liu Yufeng and asked, "How many entourages did this Xiao Dezhang bring?" ”

Liu Yufeng said: "Ninety-five, fifteen eunuchs, forty guards with swords......"

Lin Yuan nodded lightly, interrupted him, and then asked, "Then where are these people now?" ”

Liu Yufeng replied: "They were all arranged by us in a restaurant, eating and resting. ”

Lin Yuan instructed: "Don't let these people run around, especially not let them go to the barracks, understand?" ”

Liu Yufeng said: "Lin Shuai, why don't you let them go to the barracks?" Wouldn't it be nice to show our military might in front of them? ”

Lin Yuan was just about to explain, when he saw an orderly running out and said to Lin Yuan, "Lin Shuai, why are you still here?" Father-in-law Zhang inside is in a hurry! ”

When Lin Yuan heard this, he said to Liu Yufeng: "It's too late to explain now, in short, you can do this matter yourself!" If something goes wrong, my life is gone! ”

Liu Yufeng didn't ask any more questions, and went back to prepare, Lin Yuan stepped into the door, ready to see this little Dezhang. It turned out that Lin Yuan did not dare to let Xiao Dezhang enter the barracks for a very simple reason, although Lin Yuan did not set up a political department in his own army, but he did not dare to relax his political work at all.

To put it simply, the political work of the armed forces is to unify the thinking of officers and soldiers, so that they can think in one place and exert their strength in one place on the battlefield. In fact, the ancient army also had political work, but there was no such word, and the ancient army must have preached loyalty and patriotism, but Lin Yuan talked a lot about patriotism in the army, but there was no "loyalty to the monarch" at all.

People in this era, because they have less contact with things, so they think less, and it will be easy to believe what others say, so in Lin Yuan's troops, a situation of "only knowing Lin Yuan, not knowing the emperor" has been formed, such a situation has also had precedents in history, such as the Yue family army of "only knowing Yue Fei, not knowing the emperor", there is no doubt that such an army will not end well.

So Lin Yuan didn't dare to let Xiao Dezhang go to the army, if Xiao Dezhang really went back and described it to the Empress Dowager Cixi, if the Qing court really wanted to kill themselves, then they could only tear their faces, and a civil war would be inevitable, which Lin Yuan didn't want to see anyway.

As soon as Lin Yuan entered the door, there were soldiers who wanted to go in to report, Lin Yuanyi stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Don't make a noise, take me to the room next to Xiao Dezhang, I'll take a look first." ”

Lin Yuan lightly came to the room where Xiao Dezhang was, and through the crack in the window, he saw a young eunuch with clear eyebrows and handsome eyes at a glance, walking around the room, and a few attendants on the side stood with their heads bowed to the side, Lin Yuan knew that Xiao Dezhang was born in 1876 and was only twenty years old this year, so he decided at a glance that the young eunuch was Xiao Dezhang.

Xiao Dezhang said angrily at everyone: "This Lin Yuan is too disagreeable, it's been so long, why can't the incense case be set up for a long time!" I don't take Lafayette and the Holy Lord seriously. After speaking, he complained about Lin Yuan Datong again.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I can't wait any longer, I'd better go over by myself." Lin Yuan then walked out of the house with a smile and said to Xiao Dezhang: "Father-in-law Zhang, Lin is busy with military affairs, and he is late to greet him, I hope my father-in-law will forgive me!" ”

Xiao Dezhang has seen many officials along the way, and after meeting, he always said "Hope for forgiveness of father-in-law", but when he came to Lin Yuan, this sentence became "Hope for forgiveness", such a comparison, Xiao Dezhang was full of displeasure with Lin Yuan!

But at this time, Xiao Dezhang was just a little eunuch, and he didn't have any position, only because he was appreciated by the Empress Dowager Cixi that he came out to announce the decree to Lin Yuan, and the chief eunuch Li Lianying couldn't compare, Li Lianying had to be polite when he saw Lin Yuan, where did he dare to provoke Lin Yuan!

So Xiao De squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Lord Lin, hurry up and accept the order." ”

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, give it to me." ”

This sentence stunned Xiao Dezhang, he has also seen a lot of officials in the court, as soon as they heard that there was a holy decree, they all hurriedly knelt on the ground, raising their hands above their heads, but this Lin Yuan is good, stretch out his hand, and let me give it to him! What did he think was the decree? Wipe the butt paper?

Xiao De frowned, and was about to get angry, but with a move in his heart, he came up with a trick to give Lin Yuan some powerful looks, and he said to an entourage: "Please decree." ”

An entourage hurriedly ran out of the house, and after a while, he walked back with a brocade box, as soon as he entered the door, he immediately raised his hands high, held the brocade box high above his head, looked down at the ground, and cautiously walked in front of Xiao Dezhang, kneeling respectfully, Xiao Dezhang lightly pointed, and the entourage knelt on the ground, kneeled two steps, and held the brocade box in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan saw that the box was glowing with purple light, and knew that the wood of this box was very valuable, Lin Yuan gently opened the box, only to see that there was a bright yellow silk inside and a scroll was placed in the middle of the box, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I don't know what the Qing Court has to tell me." ”

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand to take out the scroll, guessing the contents of the scroll in his heart, at this moment, he only heard Xiao Dezhang slap the table fiercely, and said angrily: "Lin Yuan, you are guilty!" ”

Lin Yuan was stunned by Xiao Dezhang's actions, and without waiting to speak, Xiao Dezhang said to the guard warrior on the side: "Don't take Lin Yuan down quickly!" ”

The warrior on the side drew his sword and surrounded Lin Yuan at the core, Lin Yuan thought to himself, "What's wrong with this group of people?" I don't have to think about how to do things, there are tens of thousands of my subordinates in the city, and just a few of you want to catch me! ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "I don't know what crime Lu Dao Lin has committed, and I ask Gonggong Zhang to make it clear." ”

Xiao Dezhang sneered and said, "Isn't it a great disrespectful sin for you to sit here and receive the holy decree?" ”

"Great disrespect" was a felony in ancient times, and it was listed as one of the ten evils by the "Old Tang Book", this kind of crime is possible to be copied and beheaded all over the house, Lin Yuan heard this, suddenly slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily at Xiao Dezhang: "Xiao Dezhang, you are guilty!" Come on, take down Xiao Dezhang! ”

Lin Yuan's voice was naturally much louder than Xiao Dezhang's, as soon as this sentence came out, everyone present felt that their ears were "buzzing", outside Liu Yufeng had just come back, and when he heard Lin Yuan's words, he rushed in from outside with the soldiers, and suddenly there was a sound of bullets loading in the room.

The warriors surrounding Lin Yuan also knew that the Dao spear was much more powerful than the sword, and when they saw that Lin Yuan was so powerful, they all looked afraid.

After all, Xiao Dezhang is young and doesn't think about things thoroughly, just now he just thought about giving Lin Yuan a dismount, and he didn't think about Lin Yuan's strength at all, compared to him, it was like a heaven and an underground!
