Chapter 189: A Eunuch
In fact, this can't blame Xiao Chen for not having the emperor in his heart, the main reason is that the distance is too far away, so it's okay for him to save it first, right?
The place where Li Wanjiang stood was on top of the underground imperial mausoleum, and after he fell to the ground, the bottom collapsed.
The Ouchi guards around him all fell in, but he was really fatal, and his hands scratched a stepping stone on the ground, and his body swayed in the large hole that had collapsed.
As the earthquake intensified, so did the stepping stone!
Just as he was in danger, suddenly a strong hand grabbed his arm tightly, and then his body rose into the air and landed firmly on a person's back.
The man jumped up and down on his back and ran away, and soon ran out of the dust and mist, and when his eyes suddenly opened up, he recognized that the person who rescued the driver was Xiao Chen.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" rushed to an open grass where Murong Danqiu and the others were, and Xiao Chen put him down breathlessly.
"I ......" Li Wanjiang was shocked.
"What the hell are you guys running around? The emperor is here, and he doesn't dare to hurry over to escort him! Ling'er, Xiao Ye, hurry up and find a few horses, let's escort the emperor and queen back to the palace first! Although Xiao Chen was sweating profusely and panting and embarrassed, he was self-directed.
More than a dozen brocade guards were summoned, and they helped the emperor and queen Li Shi to ride on the horses that Duan Ling'er and the two people found, and regardless of the chaos over there, they escorted these people back to the city first.
A total of more than 300 people were buried for the crown prince, some were directly buried alive by the collapsed tomb, some fell into the cracks and did not see the corpse, some were crushed to death by the stacked arhats, and some were trampled to death......
The imperial mausoleum that took more than two years to build was all destroyed, and the prince's coffin was found, but it had been pressed into a two-dimensional state, and there was a piece of meat wrapped in silk and gold and silver treasures, I don't know if it was the prince himself?
This incident made Li Wanjiang very embarrassed.
This is an extremely ominous sign, and it seems to have predicted the future outcome of the Great Zhou, and it will collapse like this.
In a fit of rage, he arrested and beheaded all the warlocks who were in charge of watching the feng shui of the imperial tomb, and killed more than a dozen of the officials of Si Tianjian from top to bottom!
Why do you watch the stars all day long, but you don't see such a big change, what's the use of not killing you and keeping it?
The officials of the Ministry of Industry who were responsible for the construction of the imperial tomb were also killed several times, and Ma Wuming, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, had not yet taken the position, and he was not responsible for this project, so he was exempted from punishment, but he was just scolded.
At the moment of the crisis, the Ouchi guards and the brocade guards were ineffective, and dozens of them were killed, and even Zhu Xiaochuan, the Marquis of Pingyang, was fined for three years.
Everyone was at fault, only Xiao Chen made another great contribution.
Because at a critical time, it was Xiao Chen, a weak scholar, who stepped forward and carried the emperor out of danger all the way!
also rescued the prince and queen and the concubines and nobles by the way......
Is there only such a capable courtier as Xiao Chen by my side?
Li Wanjiang didn't know that Xiao Chen was actually not a weak scholar, his martial arts were so high that he couldn't be said to be the first in the world, but in Fengyang City, I was afraid that no one could compare to him.
In addition, when Xiao Chen rescued him, he actually hesitated, whether to save this person, or to directly kick him down and reunite their father and son underground?
In the end, I chose to save him.
Because at that time, there were already several internal guards rushing in, and if he didn't save him, Li Wanjiang wouldn't be able to die.
And there are many people next to him, and it is not appropriate to kick Li Wanjiang down.
Besides, Li Wanjiang's death may not be a good thing, because the King of Fengyang has not yet arrived, and if the emperor dies now, it must be Li Shi who has ascended the throne, and Li Shi is a person who is more difficult to deal with than Li Wanjiang.
Maybe the first thing he did when he took the throne was to kill Xiao Chen!
So weigh the pros and cons, or save the driver.
Master, I can be regarded as saving your life, are you still embarrassed to harm me in the future?
Let's not talk about the harm, this time you have to reward me with a straight face.
Li Wanjiang was also interesting enough this time, and directly ordered Xiao Chen to be promoted by two levels and named a first-class eunuch!
It is said that since ancient times, there has not been a eunuch who can achieve one grade, and the largest is three grades, such as Gong Shouli, the chief eunuch of the master of ceremonies, but this three grades are just a false title, and they can't even wear three-grade court clothes.
But Xiao Chen is different, at the same time as Li Wanjiang gave the order, he also ordered the Shangyi Supervisor to rush to make a set of red and purple overnight, and give him a first-class official uniform with a lion pattern.
According to the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, officials were divided into nine grades, with civil officials embroidered with birds on their clothes and military attachés as beasts.
The first rank is the crane, the second is the golden pheasant, the third is the peacock, the fourth is the cloud swallow, the fifth is the white pheasant, the sixth is the heron, the seventh is the emu, the eighth is the yellow bird, and the ninth is the quail.
So as long as you look at the embroidered patterns on their official uniforms, you will know what kind of birds they are.
The first-rank military attaché and the second-rank military attache are embroidered with lions, the third and fourth grades are tigers and leopards, the fifth rank is bears, the sixth and seventh grades are biao, the eighth rank is rhinoceros, and the ninth rank is seahorses.
So if you have to say that these civil and military officials are all beasts, you have also said it......
Because Xiao Chen hung up the handsome seal, he was going to send troops to fight, so Li Wanjiang made him a first-class military attaché.
In fact, whether it is in the Great Zhou or the Han Dynasty, they all emphasize literature and ignore military force, because governing the country must be a civil official, no matter how much you can fight, no matter how great your merit is, you will not be able to enter the center of the imperial court.
And our Xiao Chen should be regarded as both civil and military, literary talent is better than martial arts, and he has achieved the position of governor, so it stands to reason that he should be awarded a civil official rank.
But when did the emperor reason with you?
Even if Xiao Chen saved him, he still did not take back his life, and urged Xiao Chen to set off quickly, because the latest battle report showed that the Xian Xiao cavalry showed signs of gathering in the north of Yanyun Mountain, and it was likely to launch an attack on Yanyun Pass.
However, for the sake of him saving his life, he promised to give him an extra thousand cavalry, this time it was not the old, weak, sick and disabled, but the elite soldiers.
He was also given the privilege of choosing among the forbidden army and the barracks under the command of the Admiral of the Nine Gates.
Maybe Li Wanjiang is a little shaken now.
Because sending Xiao Chen to Northern Xinjiang made it clear that he was going to send him to death, and with this kid's cleverness, it was impossible not to know.
But not only did he accept the order without any prevarication, but what he did during this time was not like going to die, but wanted to fight a very serious battle.
Let's not say whether this kid will lead the troops, but he must be a lucky general, how many miracles did he create on the way to send Liu Ruyun to save his relatives?
It stands to reason that he is certain to die, but every time he dies for life.
Fall on one's feet.
I really don't know how capable this kid is?
Could it be that he is really a god as the common people say?
But I don't know if he was sent by God to help him, or if he came to destroy him.
That's a problem.
