From eunuch to emperor

Chapter 831 Then I'm Going?

"Then...we'll wait for news from my husband at home."

Long Chen insisted not to let Zhang Qian and the others follow, there must be Long Chen's own considerations, so Zhang Qian no longer insisted.

The other four didn't say anything anymore.

"Okay, it's such a cold day, let's sleep."

Long Chen lay down, Zhang Qian said with a smile: "Jiali, Chuchu, you two look good, you are on both sides."

Dugu Jiali smiled and said: "I don't, you are beside me, your big one."

Wu Chuchu also smiled and said: "I can't be by the side, you know his virtues, if I'm by the side, you have to get up and change the quilt at night."

Long Chen said with a smile: "Don't think so badly of me, okay?"

Bai Tingting said: "Every time Chuchu is next to you, you always say you want the smell of perfume. You are shameless. Who is to blame?"

Long Chen said with a smile: "Tingting has sharp teeth, she is by the side."

Wu Chuchu immediately hugged Bai Tingting, and said with a smile: "Husband hand-picked it, hurry up!"

After making a fuss for a while, I slowly fell asleep.

Waking up the next day, Long Chen changed into court clothes, and rode out the door.

Walking on the street, the cold wind blows on my face, and I still feel very cold.

There is no snow on the streets, there is still snow in dark corners, and there is still snow in the shade of the roof.

Melted snow dripped down the eaves, and the streets looked damp.

The weather of melting snow is particularly cold. Everyone wears thick clothes, and puts their hands in the sleeves, and dare not take them out.

When they arrived at Fengming Palace, the maid at the gate saw Long Chen approaching, and immediately bowed: "Wu Wang."

"Is His Majesty there?"

"Yes, I will inform you now, servant girl."

The maid went inside to report, Long Chen went inside without waiting for the maid to come back.

When they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, the Empress was talking to Duan Shuangshuang about the treasury tax.

"My minister pays homage to the Holy Majesty."

Seeing Long Chen coming in, the Empress smiled and said, "King Wu has left the customs?"

The Empress knew that Long Chen was training soldiers in Linglong Pavilion, so she said this on purpose.

"Yes, I have been in seclusion for a whole winter, and I just left."

The empress said to Duan Shuangshuang: "That's it, you step back first."

Duan Shuangshuang bowed to the Empress: "My minister resigns."

Turning around, he bowed to Long Chen again, and exited the imperial study step by step.

"sit down."

The empress put down the accounts of the household department and leaned on the phoenix chair.

Long Chen thanked him, and sat down opposite the empress.

"How is the new army in Linglong Pavilion doing?"

The empress looked at Long Chen and asked.

Long Chen replied: "I'm already proficient, my minister appointed Gongsun Linglong as the commander without authorization, this matter has not been reported yet, please forgive me."

Although Long Chen has the right to appoint a leader himself, the Empress still has a word.

The empress said: "Linglong is a nice person, she forged the firearms, and she is the granddaughter of Laozhu Kingdom, so it's just right for her to be the leader."

Long Chen said: "This minister also thinks in the same way."

The empress paused, and asked, "Is it okay for Lingyi to train soldiers there?"

Sure enough, the Empress knew that Di Lingyi had gone to Linglong Pavilion.

Long Chen had a thick skin and didn't feel embarrassed, he replied: "Very good, it helped a lot."

"Although the new army uses long-range firearms, they also need to learn close combat. The third princess teaches sword skills in Linglong Pavilion."

The empress smiled meaningfully, and said, "Oh, there is Linglong on the mountain, should they live together?"

Long Chen immediately replied: "Yes, they live together, and Wei Chen lives alone."

As an empress, she is not ashamed to ask such a question.

Does Long Chen have to say: Your Majesty, actually your daughter sleeps with me at night, we slept happily.

The corner of the empress's mouth curled up slightly, and she asked, "Have you decided on the name of the new army?"

Long Chen replied: "Originally, I planned to call it the Thunder Fire Camp, but after discussing it with the princess and Linglong, the new army is called the Thunder Fire Legion. It has two or three battalions under its jurisdiction, two gun camps, one artillery camp, one commander, and three A lieutenant."

The original name was not suitable, so Long Chen changed it.

The empress nodded slightly: "The name is quite appropriate, so be it."

"Do you have other things to do today?"

Long Chen replied: "Weichen plans to go to the Jade Buddha Pass in a few days. It is not so easy to destroy Xixia. It needs to be planned slowly. This battle may take several years."

After all, Xixia is a country with hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is not so easy to destroy it.

The empress looked stern, and sat up straight, no longer joking with Long Chen.

"Are you planning to transfer the Thunderfire Legion?"

The empress thought that Long Chen was going to do it after training.

Long Chen said: "No, the Thunder Fire Legion will continue to train, and after a while, I will let Linglong secretly sneak to the Jade Buddha Pass to rendezvous."

"Weichen intends to go to Jade Buddha Pass first to disrupt the situation in Xixia."

The empress asked: "It's not easy to destroy a country, what do you think?"

Long Chen replied: "I used to say that it is easy to defeat an army, but difficult to destroy people's hearts."

"The most difficult thing to destroy a country is to destroy people's hearts. As long as people's hearts are still there, their resistance will be fierce."

"Even if Xixia is wiped out, if people's hearts are not scattered, there is a possibility of restoring the country."

"So, I intend to disturb Xixia's hearts first."

The so-called those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

What people want, sit on the ground and be king!

Back then, the army of the Qin Dynasty was so fierce that it swept across the six countries.

But as soon as Qin Shihuang died, the nobles of the six countries immediately raised troops to restore their country.

Because although the six kingdoms are destroyed, the hearts of the people are still there.

Although Chu has three households, Qin must be killed by Chu.

People's hearts are not dead, and the country is not destroyed. Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu led eight thousand Jiangdong children to attack Guanzhong and burn down the Afang Palace. The Qin Dynasty collapsed, and the Qin Dynasty suffered from it.

If Long Chen intends to destroy Xixia, he must shake Xixia's hearts.

The Empress nodded and said: "That's right, the world has been divided into three hundred years, and the people of Xixia are not willing to become the people of the Great Zhou."

"Even if you conquer Shile, you can only annex the land. If you want to annex the country, the people of Xixia will not agree."

Long Chen said: "That's exactly the case, I have a countermeasure."

The empress looked at Long Chen, nodded slowly and said: "Okay, as long as you have a countermeasure, I won't ask you what countermeasure, as long as you think it's good."

"Are Zhang Qian and the others going with you?"

Long Chen said: "No, I will go alone, don't startle the snake."

The empress said: "If you need anything, just tell me."

Long Chen bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the matter was finished, Long Chen said hesitantly: "Then... I have retired."

Long Chen wanted to wait for the Empress's reaction, to see if the Empress wanted to leave him to do something.

To be honest, the empress' domineering appearance filled Long Chen with the desire to conquer.

An invincible empress with power over the world, crawling at her feet, that sense of accomplishment...

hiss...

It's exciting just thinking about it!

"uh-huh..."

The empress smiled, and didn't want to keep Long Chen, with an expression of whether you want to leave or not.

Long Chen felt a little disappointed, he got up and said: "I will take my leave."

The empress slowly leaned on the phoenix chair, watched Long Chen get up with a smile, and walked towards the door.

Long Chen secretly said in his heart: This mother-in-law is really heartless, just let me go away like this.

What happened last time was for nothing?

"and many more..."

When Long Chen was about to walk out of the imperial study room, the Empress suddenly said.

Long Chen was overjoyed: pretend, you pretend to me, pretend to be serious!

In the end, I still can't bear it!

Long Chen was ecstatic in his heart, but his face was very calm, showing an indifferent look.

Turning around and walking to the opposite side of the Empress, Long Chen bowed and said: "What else is there for Your Majesty?"
