A few days later, the holy decree came, promoted Wu Xiao to the general of Dingyuan, led the commander of the Xiao battalion, and concurrently served as the envoy of the Anbei Festival, allowed the family to move with him, gave two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and at the same time promoted the military ranks of several generals in Mobei, and rewarded them according to their merits.

Although this appointment is reasonable, it is unexpected by many people, because it is the position of the envoy of the Anbei Festival, above the entire court, this is another party with a heavy army, and it is such a young party member.

The first person to come to the door to congratulate was actually Zhao Yi, he had been promoted to the head of the household, Wu Xiao was very happy, and was about to send someone to invite him.

The two of them reminisced about the old days, each complained about their encounters, stayed in Shoushan Hall for lunch at noon, Zhao Yi said goodbye, Wu Xiaoyuan sent a way, and made some explanations, Zhao Yi responded one by one, the two are already close friends, needless to say.

The officials in the capital were in an endless stream for a while, and the Shoushan Hall was full of people, but there were more people who came to congratulate than to see a doctor.

Wu Xiao had no choice but to pull Li Mao to deal with it, Wu Xiao came out from time to time to raise money, and Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi quickly became the second junior in the restaurant.

Yan Nu didn't know where to hide, sometimes she couldn't see anyone for a day, Hongyu was worried, and later learned that she couldn't get used to seeing a lot of these people, so she found a place to stay.

Li Mao coped with it easily, no one felt slack, it seems that he has been in the officialdom for so many years, he really hasn't been in vain, but he admires the red fish so much.

After listening to Wu Xiao's description, Li Mao praised Hongyu as a natural politician, which he only saw in his life.

Wu Xiao said: "It's been so long, why haven't I seen you pat my ass, so smoothly pat my sister's ass?"

Li Mao laughed twice and said, "Everyone knows that it's useless to pat your ass, but the housewife is different." ”

When Hongyu heard the words of the master and mother, he was so ashamed that he went up to the second floor, and he couldn't stay for a moment.

Li Mao was stunned for a while, looked at Wu Xiaodao, and said, "I said something wrong?"

Wu Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's right", Li Mao only felt a strong pressure, his body couldn't bear it, and he sat on the chair.

On a moonless and windless night, outside the closed door of a jade hall in Dongcheng, two mysterious people wrapped in black came out, and the petite figure looked like a woman, and she stepped forward and knocked on the door three times.

The door opened a crack, and a young man's face stretched out: "It's a foreign, buy something and come back tomorrow"

After speaking, he was about to close the door, but found that he couldn't close it, but the door was stuck by the person who knocked on the door.

The man in black in the back stepped forward, took out a long object from his sleeve, and stuffed it through the crack in the door.

The two men in black looked behind them for a while, entered the house, and the man led the two to the back hall, where there were already three people sitting, Qiu Shiliang in the middle, and the two on the left and right were cold and abnormal, and they looked like masters who had been walking in the dark world for a long time.

"General Xi is really trustworthy, please take a seat" Qiu Shiliang stood up and made a gesture of please.

Wu Xiao sat down on the chair on the left side of the road, and Yan Nu stood behind Wu Xiao, intentionally or unintentionally blocking between Wu Xiao and the two masters.

"Qiu Gonggong's generous gift, I was ashamed to accept it later, today my father-in-law invited, how dare the young general not come!" Wu Xiao said calmly.

"The general is already the marshal of Mobei, there is no need to be too modest, there are still many places in the future, and the Sprinkle family will still rely on the general" Qiu Shiliang looked at Wu Xiao and said slowly.

"My father-in-law is admired by everyone in the court, and the young general naturally knows the importance of it, if there is anything, the father-in-law just commands, and the young general should obey his fate," Wu Xiao said

"Don't dare, I just want to make friends with the general, at a critical time in the future, the general thinks about his own situation and his friends, take a look at any actions and be cautious" Qiu Shiliang said with a smile

"The court has been in the court for a hundred years, the situation is changing, you come and go, this kind of thing has been seen a lot, the general has just entered the court, and he is young and promising, he still has to plan more for his future, and don't be misled by some people," he continued

"Thank you father-in-law for your concern, the young general will save himself, if there is something, my father-in-law will inform me more, lest I don't know the reason and have a collision" Wu Xiao said

"It's easy to say, the general is also a person who understands, and being friends with someone who understands makes it much easier to sprinkle the family" Qiu Shiliang laughed

Wu Xiao also chuckled, the atmosphere seemed to be a lot more relaxed, Wu Xiao took a sip of tea, and said unintentionally: "Who are these two, can you introduce them to the young general, look at the momentum must not be mortals"

The two black-clothed men on both sides of Qiu Shiliang turned their heads to stare at Wu Xiao, their eyes were sharp, Wu Xiao calmly dealt with it, without any extra expression, and Yan Nu slowly turned sideways.

Qiu Shiliang looked at it and said, "I was also about to introduce, this is General Huo, the Eagle King of the Shence Army, and this is General Dai, the commander of the Tiger Roar Battalion of the Shence Army."

Wu Xiao stood up, raised his hand and said: "The name of the Shence Army, I have heard about it when I was in the military department, and it is really a blessing to meet the two generals today."

Wu Xiao glanced at the Eagle King twice, and the two generals also raised their hands to return the salute, which was regarded as a greeting, but they did not speak.

Qiu Shiliang said some words about the court layout, which was nothing more than asking Wu Xiao not to stand in line easily, and Wu Xiao was vain and wronged and dealt with him.

Soon after, Wu Xiao got up to say goodbye, and Qiu Shiliang saw that his goal had been achieved, so he also got up to see him off, and the two were in harmony.

After Wu Xiao left, Eagle King Huo San walked to the chair and sat down, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, and said to Qiu Shiliang: "Father-in-law, I don't think this person is simple, I'm afraid he may not be sincere."

"The things in the court are all true and false, each person has his own plan, can't you see through this until now? Qiu Shiliang reprimanded softly. The Eagle King could only stand up to show that he was taught.

Soon after this incident, Mrs. An Guo summoned, and Wu Xiao took Li Mao with her, not wanting the emperor and several important figures of the imperial party to be present, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

Wu Xiao and Li Mao saluted to the emperor, and the emperor signaled that there was no need to be polite, and after sitting down, the emperor spoke: "The main purpose of summoning the ministers to come this time is to discuss, how to abolish the eunuch party forces in the DPRK and China, and what the ministers think, you can express your views directly, and you don't have to be restrained."

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and the Zhongshu Sheren got up and said: "This matter should be considered in the long run, and it must not be rushed, for fear of causing great changes, the emperor will know clearly."

"Lord Hong is right, the emperor, it is advisable to slowly cut off the wings first, and then cut off the head, and slowly figure it out" The left minister of Shangshu Province also seconded

"Ju believes that the top priority is to remove the palace guards, drive the tigers and wolves away from the emperor's side, and then get rid of them," the military department Shangshu said

"How to disarm?" asked the emperor

"In the palace, most of them are the guards belonging to the Shence Army, and they have been in control for a long time, if there is no proper reason, I am afraid that they will be submitted to provoke changes," the emperor touched his forehead

Everyone had no good plan for a while, and the hall was silent for a while, and then Mrs. An Guo said: "I think that Li Deyu, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and which Qiu Shiliang often have discord, maybe they can take advantage of it and divide the two."

"This minister is also aware of it, the two often quarrel, and there are also some generals in the Shence Army who are biased towards Li Deyu, but if the intention is obvious, I am afraid that Qiu Shiliang will find out" Zhongshushe added again

"This plan is feasible, I should try it, and the secretaries can have a good plan for changing the guards" The emperor asked, this matter may be the most important thing for the emperor, so he paid special attention to it.

"Weichen thinks that the emperor can expand the loyal and brave Praetorian Guard camp while infiltrating individual Divine Guard commanders, and let him and the guards perform a fake assassination scene, and the emperor can be honest and can remove most of the Divine Guard Guards," the Privy Council squire said

"This plan is very good, I should use it" The emperor slapped his thigh.

"The question of candidates should be thorough and not rushed," Mrs. An Guo reminded

"Those officials who are attached to Qiu Shiliang should also be removed or deposed, and the relationship between these people involves both inside and outside Gyeonggi, and should not be underestimated," Mrs. An Guo said again

"Most of these people are some wall grass, the crux is still on Qiu Shiliang, weakening him, these people will also slowly fall, large-scale replacement may affect the government, or think twice" Ministry of Shangshu said

The emperor nodded and said: "There is a way to say, this is discussed, and individual jumpers who jump hard can find a reason to cut it off, and focus on deterrence."

"The most important point," the emperor said, looking at Wu Xiao here.
