Chapter 34
In addition, Xiao Chen also learned about Liu Ruyun's identity in detail. She was originally the third princess of the six countries in southern Xinjiang, China and Myanmar. She is beautiful, intelligent and wise. She is also good at riding and shooting.
She is very prestigious in Myanmar, and her reputation is even higher than that of her princely brother.
Later, Li Wanjiang's army of 100,000 came under pressure, ready to destroy Myanmar in one fell swoop. The king of Myanmar and his ministers were terrified and at a loss.
It was Liu Ruyun who stepped forward and expressed his willingness to commit himself to the Great Zhou Emperor in exchange for the safety of the whole country.
After thinking about it, Li Wanjiang agreed to accept her as a noble concubine, and named the king of Burma as the king of the South. In name, Burma was included in the territory of the Great Zhou...
Some people are very much in favor of this, and of course many people are against it, so there is no need to go into details one by one.
Through these memorials, Xiao Chen had a general understanding of the situation in the world and the officials in the court.
This will be of great help to what he will do in the future.
Gong Shouli must have never expected that he wanted to fix Xiao Chen, but he did it unintentionally.
In fact, at Gong Shouli's level, he is not qualified for the important position of eunuch in charge of ceremonies. You think he doesn't even care about such an important department as the archives hall, and the management is so loose, he is simply a fool!
He is one of Li Wanjiang's most trusted people, and he has a very violent temper. Someone gave him advice before, but he didn't listen well, thinking that he was mocking him for his incompetence, so he found a random crime and killed him...
In this way, who would dare to persuade him? Just let him do whatever he wants.
Seeing the little knowledge, it seems that Li Wanjiang is not very clever in employing people.
Or he has no choice, because the current situation in the world is not stable, and the palace may be full of dangers, so in more important positions, he can only use his confidantes.
So being an emperor is actually quite helpless sometimes.
Xiao Chen knew that his every move was under the surveillance of others, so he acted extremely cautiously. He just read these memorials in the warehouse, and never took a piece of paper out.
"My lord, what's so good about these files, you can't get tired of panic after reading them all day long? If you want to read them, you can take them home and read them. It's so dark here, don't hurt your eyes!"
Zhao Xicai, who was waiting on the sidelines, couldn't understand why Xiao Chen was interested in this pile of junk?
"Did you forget the rules I just made? The memorial files here are very important, and no one is allowed to take them out without permission, and I am no exception. No matter who borrows them, they must carefully register and sign them!"
As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, a middle-aged eunuch hurriedly ran outside, and yelled at the top of his voice when he came in: "Who, hurry up and find me the memorial to the flood that was published in the prefect newspaper of Jiangzhou last autumn. Eunuch Gong wanted it!" Hurry up, hurry up!"
This eunuch was called Zhao Laifu, he was under Gong Shouli's confidant, relying on his master's power, he was used to domineering in the palace, and he didn't have any basic respect for Xiao Chen, a superior.
It is said that such a big man is sitting here, did he not see it?
"Are you talking to me?" Xiao Chen's expression darkened instantly.
"Hey, it's Mr. Xiao. It's so dark that you can't see anything. If you don't talk, I don't even know there's someone sitting here! I'm greeting you... What are you doing? Hurry up and find Excuse me! Everyone is deaf or stupid!"
Zhao Laifu chuckled, nodded casually to Xiao Chen as a salute, turned around and yelled loudly at Zhao Xicai and the others.
Everyone didn't move, they all looked at Xiao Chen together.
"Let's find it for him." Xiao Chen also didn't want to be familiar with him.
Because of the detailed catalogue, I quickly found and fetched the memorial. If it was before, I am afraid that I would not be able to find it for a long time!
"Come on, see you later, Eunuch Xiao!" Zhao Laifu snatched the memorial and turned around to leave.
"Come back!" Xiao Chen scolded.
"You still have something to do?" Zhao Laifu was taken aback, and turned around with a suspicious look on his face.
"According to the rules, anyone who reads the memorial has to sign and mark it." Xiao Chen said lightly.
"Stop talking nonsense, who has the patience to deal with this? Eunuch Gong is waiting to ask for it, and I'll send it back to you after I finish reading it, 啛!"
Xiao Chen stared at Zhao Laifu inadvertently showing that contemptuous expression.
"Are you calling me nonsense?" Xiao Chen said indifferently.
"Hey, how dare I scold you, I'm a kid. I scolded them. When you say that, you're not looking for scolding, quack quack..." Zhao Laifu laughed arrogantly.
He didn't take Xiao Chen seriously at all.
"Hehe, what a dog slave, he dared to insult Shangguan in public, openly acted wildly in the storage hall! Come on, take it down for me!" Xiao Chen slapped the table, full of anger.
Zhao Xicai and the others have long disliked Zhao Laifu, and have tolerated him for a long time.
Hearing Xiao Chen's order, he agreed abruptly, rushed forward, and pushed Zhao Laifu to the ground.
"What are you bastards going to do? I'm Zhao Laifu, and I'm here on the orders of Eunuch Gong. Let me go quickly, or you'll all die!" Zhao Laifu yelled loudly, arrogantly.
"Call me." Xiao Chen gave an order, and the eunuchs immediately took off Zhao Laifu's trousers in a hurry, revealing his white buttocks.
There is no board here either, so a few people found two bamboo poles, and they couldn't help but say that when they swung it, they were beaten hard.
The beaten Zhao Laifu cried for his father and mother.
At the beginning, he was still stubborn: "How dare you hit me? You really don't know what to do! If you can't do it, I will teach you not to panic!"
Seven or eight poles went down, buttocks were bruised, painful cheeks twisted, sweating profusely: "You bastards, hit me, hit me, if you have the guts, beat me to death, otherwise we will fight you in front of Gong Gonggong!"
After ten or so shoulder poles passed, he began to cry and beg for mercy: "Eunuch Xiao, Lord Xiao, Ancestor Xiao, my dear grandfather! I know you are amazing, so let me spare you, I will never dare again... "
Xiao Chen held a memorial in his hand and read it raptly, turning a deaf ear to Zhao Laifu's cries for mercy.
He just said to fight, but he didn't say how much.
It was Zhao Xicai who was afraid that Zhao Laifu would really beat him to death, so he waved his hand to stop the crowd, walked over and said softly: "My lord, you have already hit eighteen boards, look?"
"We either don't hit him, and if we want to hit him, give him a few decent blows, otherwise he will say that we beat him, how much? Eighteen boards? Let's round up... ...Let's hit one hundred." Xiao Chen said.
"Okay, my Grandpa Xiao, he's already half dead, and he'll definitely die if he hits you a few more times! The life of a villain is nothing, it's all for the sake of Eunuch Gong!" Zhao Laifu was shocked when he heard this, and hurried Struggling to crawl over, he kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy.
"It's fine if you don't mention Eunuch Gong, but if you mention him, I'll be even angrier. If you act so recklessly, it's not like you're losing his old man's dignity? It's not that I want to beat you, but for Eunuch Gong, you know?"
"What are you, you dare to behave wildly in front of me? You are obviously afraid of polluting this clean place, otherwise it will not matter if you are killed!"
Xiao Chen actually didn't want to care about Zhao Laifu, a small character, but he was too deceitful, and he spoke rudely in front of the big guys.
If he didn't beat him up hard, how would he be able to hang out in the palace in the future?
It's really a tiger that doesn't show its power, and it really treats the young master as a sick cat!
Of course, he won't really kill him, just vent his anger.
Zhao Xicai and others were deeply relieved after beating Zhao Laifu, but they were angry and happy, but they didn't know how to end it?
