Chen Lang cupped his fists and bowed: "This lowly general's uniform is on me, I am unable to make the full bow, I plead for Your Majesty to atone for your sins."
The emperor raised his head, looked at Chen Lang, and nodded with gratitude. He waved to Zhang Rou, "You can leave, I want to talk to General Ying Yang alone." Zhang Jean responded and left.
The emperor waved his hand towards Chen Lang, "Come closer."
Chen Lang acknowledged as he walked over to the study table.
The emperor carefully sized up Chen Lang, nodded, and praised him. "Hero's heroic spirit, as expected of a famous general that caused the Yellow Bandits to tremble with fear!"
"Your Majesty, you're too kind!"
The Emperor said: "This time, you have saved Huang'er, how should I thank you?"
Chen Lang said: "This is my duty, how can I dare to thank Your Majesty!"
After the emperor heard this, he was even more satisfied with Chen Lang and could not help but sigh: "If all the generals and officials were to be like my beloved daughter, I would be able to sleep peacefully! However, I do not know who is the true loyal subject.
Chen Lang couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He never thought that the Emperor, who was considered to be the typical unconscious king, would actually say such words.
The emperor looked at Chen Lang, and Chen Lang actually saw a glint in his eyes. The emperor asked: "Was Liu Bian really kidnapped?" Chen Lang could not help but be moved, and said: "This was most likely unintentional. This lowly general realized that His Highness Liu Bian was inside a fishing village in the River temple, so my army charged in and killed eight eunuchs to save Your Highness. "
The emperor frowned. "Eunuch!" Then, he muttered with a cold smile: "I'm afraid that Liu Bian was robbed by the He family themselves. Their real targets are our Royal Beauty and our Huang'er. "Hmph, you sure are scheming!" When Chen Lang heard the emperor's words, he could not help but be extremely surprised. He suddenly felt that the people of the world had misjudged this emperor, this emperor did not seem to be simple.
The emperor looked at Chen Lang and said, "He Jin has a high authority, many people only know that He Jin does not know about us! You did not follow He Jin, which shows how loyal you are! " Chen Lang couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
The emperor said, "If you continue to be like this, I will entrust the most important matter to you in the future! I hope you will not disappoint us! "
Chen Lang cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, if there's anything you need, this general will go through thick and thin without any hesitation." The Emperor nodded. "You can go back first." I have something that needs to be done, I will send someone to summon you. " Chen Lang complied and left the imperial study room.
Zhang Jean walked into the royal study, bowed and greeted, "Your Majesty!" The emperor said, "You have to increase the rations in the Ying Yang Army so that they can expand their army." Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingrong was extremely suspicious and bowed in agreement.
At the same time, He Jin arrived at Empress He's palace. Empress He asked angrily: "What exactly happened to those eunuchs? Why did the General Ying Yang snatch the Huang'er away? "
He Jin said: "Those eunuchs are already dead."
Empress He was shocked, "How can this be?"
He Jin shook his head, "I don't know. From what the General Ying Yang said, he was the one who saved His Highness from a river god temple located to the east of fir pool.
Empress He frowned and scolded: "That trash Li Huang! How did the General Ying Yang find out where they are! " And then he said with a face full of joy, "That's fine too. They're all dead. We don't have to do it ourselves!" Then, his face revealed an angry look, "The plan was very detailed, but I didn't expect that so many things would happen in the middle of the process! Even though Royal Beauty is dead, that vile spawn of hers is still alive! "
He Jin laughed: "The reason your majesty likes that vile spawn is because of Royal Beauty. Now that the Royal Beauty is dead, His Majesty's intentions will definitely be transferred to the Empress. "
Empress He felt that He Jin's words made sense, and his face brightened a little as he thought, "His Majesty's health is getting worse with each passing day, I have to urge his majesty to leave the palace as soon as possible." He Jin hurriedly said: "This is the most urgent matter at hand."
At this moment, a palace maid hurried in and bowed towards the Empress He. She then said, "Empress Dowager, His Majesty has sent His Highness Consort Liu to the empress dowager's palace." The Empress He frowned and muttered, "Why did Your Majesty send that vile spawn into the empress dowager's palace? The empress dowager's position is extraordinary. Could it be that Your Majesty has some ulterior motive for doing this? " He only felt that he could not delay this matter any longer, and warned He Jin, "Big Brother, you need to make preparations during this period of time. He Jin nodded his head, "I will do as the Empress says."
He Jin returned to the Great General's Estate. As soon as he returned, a subordinate came over to report, "General, a patrol just reported from the east. The people of Luoyang's east big granary have plundered and lost a lot of things. " He Jin's current thoughts were not on these things. Upon hearing his subordinate's report, he impatiently waved his hand and said, "Just let Si Ma investigate such a small matter, there's no need to bother me!" The subordinate replied with a face full of dust.
He Jin thought for a moment, then said to his subordinates: "Immediately gather all our men, I have something important to discuss with them." The underling replied and ran off.
Zhang Can called over his trusted aides and sons, and said: All of you immediately transfer the two hundred thousand food to Ying Yang Army. Everyone was greatly surprised. Zhang Xi immediately jumped out and shouted, "Godfather, that person who nobody dares to look down on, why did Godfather give him so much food?!" Zhang Xi, the friend who had seen the previous article would definitely remember that he was the young master who tried to insult Trichoderma.
"This is an order from His Majesty himself. How can I disobey it!" Zhang Jean replied unhappily. Zhang Xi was still unwilling. "But …"
Zhang Jean waved his hand impatiently and said, "Say no more. Just do as I say." A sinister look appeared in his eyes as he said, "I shall let him have some sweets for now. In the future, I must let him know the consequences of offending me!"
When the two hundred thousand food was transferred to the Ying Yang Army's camp, all the generals were extremely happy. Gan Ning laughed: "I never thought that Zhang Gong would actually bring us such a large amount of food." Chen Lang laughed: "This is not what he wants, it's an order from His Majesty the Emperor." Gan Ning laughed: "I was thinking about that! If it was that dog-eunuch, how could he be so generous? "
Chen Lang said: "Now that the rations are sufficient, I plan to expand the army." Gan Ning became excited, and anxiously said: "With so much food, it should be enough to cover fifty thousand soldiers!"
Chunyu Qiong agreed: "It should be so! As long as we have enough power, no one will dare to invade us! "
Chen Lang thought: "There is an old saying that goes, soldiers are more refined than soldiers, moreover, if the expansion of the army is too fast, it will arouse the suspicion of others." Guan Yu agreed and nodded, "I think what big brother said is extremely true."
Gan Ning said indifferently: "wolf brother can do whatever you want."
Chen Lang said: "The army has been expanded to twenty thousand people, while the big blade and cavalry groups have been expanded to three thousand people. All of you, begin immediately. The generals cupped their fists in response.
On the fir pool's side, the Ying Yang Army was busy recruiting and training the troops, extremely busy. On the other hand, He Jin spent the entire day scheming their plans. Cao Cao Cao said: "The Great General should recruit the Ying Yang Army. Otherwise, once they are used by the castrates, they will become our biggest obstacle!" Chen Lin immediately said: "That's right! That night, General Bao Hong tried to hijack five thousand men in one go! When the general had led his army to confront them, he had also witnessed their strength with his own eyes! If such an elite is used by the castrates, it will be very bad! "
He Jin frowned, his face revealing unhappiness. He Miao immediately shouted: "That Chen Lang is one of the castrators, why do you all always keep him in your mind! If they are recruited over, it will be a foolish act of luring wolves into the house! "
Cao Cao laughed out loud, "This sentence is something that I do not understand." Then if Brother Chen was really one of the eunuchs, how could he save His Highness Liu Bian? To slander others in such a way would only turn a good person into a bad person! It's really stupid! "
He Miao was enraged, and scolded: "Cao Cao, how dare you! Don't forget that I'm a great general riding on a bicycle! "
Cao Cao mocked and laughed, he did not want to continue anymore, he turned to look at He Jin and asked: "I do not know what the Great General is thinking?"
He Jin thought for a moment, then said: "He Miao is right, Chen Lang had recently accepted the two hundred thousand food payment, so it can be seen that he is an eunuch! The things that we plan to do are related to the continuation of the Darkhan Empire, how can we let this man hear about it! " Cao Cao sneered and stopped trying to persuade him. However, Chen Lin did not give up and still wanted to persuade him, "General, think twice!"
He Jin waved his hands impatiently, and said: "Alright, alright! Let's not talk about this anymore. We have more important things to discuss! "
Cao Cao laughed, "What's the use of everyone coming over to discuss the past? [The king has the final say in this!] If His Majesty has already made up his mind, we can only obey! That is to say, the best way now is for the Empress to convince His Majesty to make His Highness Liu Bian Crown Prince. "
He Jin frowned: "Of course I know this. However, the Empress had been repeatedly persuading the Emperor these past few days. His Majesty did not have any intention of letting go. It really makes one anxious! "
Chen Lin frowned: "Looks like His Majesty still has plans to establish a relationship with His Highness, this matter is truly worrisome."
Cao Cao smiled but did not say anything. Chen Lin saw Cao Cao's expression and felt it was strange.
Today, the meeting did not come to an end. After the meeting ended, Chen Lin caught up with Cao Cao Cao and angrily asked, "Why does Brother Meng De not seem to care about His Majesty's intentions?"
Cao Cao laughed and asked instead of answering, "Do you really think that there is any big difference between the two princes as emperors?" Chen Lin was speechless.
Cao Cao said with a smile, "Which one of the two princes is more advantageous to the people of this world?" The only thing that we can be sure of is that, if His Highness Liu Bian becomes the emperor, it will be beneficial to the great general! " Patting Chen Lin on the shoulder, he said, "Regarding this matter, we don't need to be too concerned about it."
Chen Lin said snappily, "Since ancient times, crippling one's future generations is just a way to stir trouble. As the direct son of the Empress, Prince Liu Bian should inherit the throne."
Cao Cao Cao disapproved, but he did not explain anything to Chen Lin.
