Chapter 10: Feng Bao's Opportunity

Although it was already late at night, the lights in the Grand Master's Mansion were still brightly lit at this time. A dozen civil and military officials in royal robes gathered here, waiting for Wang Xiao to inquire about government affairs.

Wang Xiao had led his troops away for several months before. Even though he had trusted personnel to take charge of affairs in the capital, he was still a little uneasy. Now that he was back, he naturally had to take a closer look.

Wang Xiao finished reading the last memorial in his hand, took a breath, nodded to the many officials below, and said with a smile:

"Everything in the court is peaceful, I rely on you sirs!"

When all the officials saw this, they felt relaxed. They all relied on the prestige of the Grand Master and did not dare to accept the merit.

Wang Xiao chuckled twice and said with a gentle expression:

"The army is still on the march, and the supply of food and grass must not be wrong. You will still have to work hard for a while. As long as the Li Dynasty is pacified, you will all have credit."

"I will obey the Grand Master's order, and we dare not relax!" The civil and military officials quickly stood up and bowed to Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao nodded and said a few more words of encouragement.

These officials were all human beings, and they knew it was time to leave, so they all stood up and said goodbye.

Wei Wei Zhongli stood up carelessly and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mr. Tie beside him.

Zhong Li was stunned, but saw that there were still several people sitting motionless in their original positions. He immediately realized what he was doing, turned around and sat down again.

After a while, the civil and military courtiers dispersed, and only Mr. Tie, Zhong Li, and Li Lian, Wang Xiao's trusted confidants, were left in the whole room.

Wang Xiao's expression became solemn, he turned to look at Zhong Li and said in a deep voice:

"You are a guard, in charge of the imperial guards. When the new emperor was seriously ill, you were the first to know. Did you notice anything unusual?"

Hearing this, Zhong Li blinked his eyes, a little confused, and said:

"Abnormal? No! When the little emperor fell ill, I ordered the Imperial Army not to allow anyone to visit. In the end, Mrs. Feng in the palace made too much trouble. In order to avoid causing trouble, Mr. Tie asked me to send the little emperor to Ganye.

Temple.”

Wang Xiao heard this and immediately looked at Mr. Tie.

Mr. Tie also nodded and said:

"It was my decision to report to the Grand Master. The imperial doctor in the palace used treacherous intentions to speculate on the Grand Master's ambitions. He was afraid that the little emperor's illness was related to the Grand Master, so he did not dare to do his best to treat him. If the little emperor died of illness, he must have had ulterior motives.

The people took the opportunity to cause trouble. The army is on an expedition, and stability in the DPRK comes first, so I can only send the young emperor to Ganye Temple."

Mr. Tie paused and then said quickly:

"According to the guards, the little emperor would often talk nonsense after he recovered from his illness, and he would become more and more stupid after a few days. I personally investigated it and only looked at the pulse. It was indeed a disease of stupidity."

When Wang Xiao heard this, he raised his hand and said warmly:

"Yes, you did the right thing! The little emperor's energy and spirit have collapsed, the yin and yang in the body are reversed, the five qi are tangled, and the image of ignorance is true."

Mr. Tie nodded, with a look of confusion on his face, and whispered:

"It's just that I still feel like there's something wrong with it!"

"What's wrong with this! Isn't it just that my brain is burned out? It's not like I haven't seen it before. If you ask me, since the little emperor is so stupid and his virtue is not worthy of his position, it is a God-given opportunity. The throne should fall to the emperor.

In the master's hands!" Zhongli said carelessly.

Hearing this, Li Lian couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

Obviously, Zhongli still could not forget his contribution to persuasion.

It would be fine if you didn't say this. As soon as he said this, the superior Wang Xiao immediately frowned, looked straight at Zhong Li, and scolded slightly:

"Today you took matters into your own hands, and I haven't bothered you with the matter of liaising with officials. Now you are talking such nonsense?"

When Zhong Li heard Wang Xiao's scolding, he quickly shrank his head and instantly withered.

To say that a powerful official has reached the level of Wang Xiao, it has reached the extreme, and usurping the throne has become his only pursuit. And as long as he wants to become the emperor of Yun Kingdom tomorrow, he will have to change his surname.

But what Wang Xiao wants is not just to be an emperor. He wants to leave a name in history, be famous for generations, and be a perfect man for all eternity.

In this way, if you want to ascend to the throne, you must make some achievements and convince both the government and the public.

In the past ten years, he sent troops everywhere, sweeping across the southern border of the Yun Kingdom, destroying several small barbarian countries, and expanding the territory thousands of miles away. This was for this purpose. Now his troops are sent out to the south of the sky to attack the Li Dynasty, also for his own merits.

"The army has wiped out the Li Dynasty. Don't say this again until we return victorious!" Wang Xiao scolded.

Hearing this, Zhongli nodded angrily and agreed.

Seeing that Zhong Li had become more honest, Wang Xiao calmed down and said again:

"You should pay more attention to matters in the palace, especially Concubine Zhang in the palace!"

"Concubine Zhang?" Zhong Li was stunned.

------------------

"Concubine Zhang?" Xiao Cheng couldn't help but be startled when he heard the report from the young eunuch in front of the palace.

This Concubine Zhang was the concubine of Xiao Cheng's father. Xiao Chengyuan was weak and lost his mother when he was young, so she was raised in the palace by her, and she was regarded as his original adoptive mother.

"Yes, the concubine is coming to see someone at home today. Your Majesty, please go with us." The young eunuch bowed.

Xiao Cheng looked hesitant and murmured:

"Why let me go with you?"

The little eunuch heard the sound, walked to Xiao Cheng's side, and said softly:

"This servant has inquired from the young eunuch who is on duty under the Royal Palace. The concubine's niece has also come with her. She is about the same age as your Majesty..."

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said to the young eunuch:

"You are quite impressive. It has only been a few days since you were transferred from the imperial mausoleum to the palace. How come you know so many palace attendants?"

The eunuch pursed his lips and smiled, bent down and said:

"They are all low-status eunuchs and palace maids. You can make friends with them with just a few words."

As he spoke, above the little eunuch's head, the four blue fonts of "Gu Ming Eunuch" shone brightly.

Xiao Cheng nodded and said with satisfaction:

"In that case, you should look for a few people first. Eunuchs, palace maids, and bodyguards are all suitable. I will be of great use in the future!"

Hearing this, Feng Bao's eyes flashed with joy, and he immediately knelt down on the ground and bowed:

"If you are valued by Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best!"

In Xiao Cheng's opinion, Feng Bao summoned him himself.

But in Feng Bao's memory, he was a little eunuch who entered the imperial mausoleum since he was a child. The imperial mausoleum was poor and the older people could tolerate it, but how could someone of Feng Bao's age endure the loneliness?

Although he was transferred to the palace to help only a few days ago, he stayed in the palace wholeheartedly. In addition, he was very capable and had already found a way to understand the situation in the DPRK.

Feng Bao, who had been taught to be loyal to the royal family since he was a child, became interested when he learned that the power of the royal family was falling apart.

Firstly, in order to escape from the miserable imperial mausoleum, and secondly, because of the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor that he had been taught since childhood, he resolutely seized this opportunity that others avoided.

But he never expected that until he came to the new emperor, Feng Bao discovered that the new emperor he wanted to help turned out to be a fool!

After receiving this bad news, Feng Bao was disheartened, and the loyalty value displayed on the golden finger panel continued to decrease.

When Xiao Cheng saw this, he no longer hid it and told him frankly about his plans.

Feng Bao was pleasantly surprised and felt that Xiao Cheng trusted him. He burst into tears and vowed to help Xiao Cheng regain his power.
