Chapter 10302 Inside and Out
Due to the improvement of his realm, Chen Xiwang was in a very good mood, but he did not show it. He knew very well that in a place like Immortal Palace, every little bit of emotional change would have a big impact. It might attract the attention of interested people, so he walked out of his room expressionlessly and went to the yard where Dong Wei was to work.
Dongwei has many things to take care of, but Chen Xiwang is just one of them. He doesn’t have too many things to take care of. He is still busy every day. The reason why he is so busy these days , it is because he is investigating the matter of the Crystal Skull that he is so busy.
When Chen Xiwang arrived in the courtyard of Dongwei and was walking to his room, suddenly a eunuch blocked Chen Xiwang's way. Chen Xiwang looked up and found that it was a eunuch of the same rank as him, but this The eunuch looked older than him and was looking at Chen Xiwang with a smile on his face.
As soon as Chen Xiwang saw this eunuch, he quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "See you, senior brother." This eunuch is Chen Xiwang's senior brother, named Ma Degong. He is Chen Xiwang's master, the eunuch in charge of Xianting, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs The chief steward, the eldest disciple of Wei Xiaode, the admiral of the Eastern Guard.
Ma Degong looked at Chen Xiwang, still smiling, and then he said to Chen Xiwang: "Junior brother, the master has called you to ask questions. Come with me." Chen Xiwang didn't dare to say more and agreed. With a sound, Ma Degong soared into the sky and flew straight to the fairy palace in the sky.
Although only the Immortal Emperor and his family live in the Immortal Palace in the sky, there are many maids and eunuchs serving there. It is also the place where ministers discuss matters, and it is also the residence of several great eunuchs. , those great eunuchs are all the confidants of the Immortal Emperor. It can be said that the Immortal Emperor controls the operation of the Immortal World through them.
The current Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm is very mysterious. He rarely goes to court, but the meeting will still be held as scheduled. The reason why this happens is because the left and right prime ministers have the power to hold the meeting. For the court meeting, if the emperor is not present, then the left and right prime ministers can preside over the court meeting. Each ministry will report all their affairs. If it can be handled, the left and right prime ministers will handle it on the spot. But if it cannot be handled, they will Pass it on to the Immortal Emperor and let him handle it.
Although the Immortal Emperor will not attend the court meeting, his two confidant eunuchs will attend. One of the two confidant eunuchs is Liu Zhong, the pen eunuch, and Wei Xiaode, the eunuch who holds the seal. . Of these two eunuchs, one is in charge of the Immortal Capital Cavalry Guard. This Cavalry Guard is different. This Cavalry Guard was originally the most capable army in the hands of the Immortal Emperor. Everyone in the army was a monk, and all of them were monks. They will ride monsters to fight, and their fighting power is extremely powerful.
But later on, the Hussars gradually became corrupted, and their combat effectiveness plummeted. Later, after the Immortal Emperor appointed Liu Zhong as the Admiral of the Hussars, the combat effectiveness of the Hussars rose sharply, and they were divided into The Ming Guard and the Hidden Guard. The Ming Guard is an army of 15,000 people. team, and it is a monster cavalry team, and there is another secret guard, but no one knows how many people there are. The function of this secret guard is similar to that of the Eastern Guard. They have the power to supervise all officials, which is similar to the supervision of the Eastern Guard. The world is still different, but it makes people here in the fairy world even more scared.
In addition to the Hussars, the eunuch Zibi is also in charge of the inner palace. Although there is only one word difference between the inner palace and the internal affairs palace, the difference is very big. What is the inner palace? To put it bluntly, the Inner Palace is in charge of the royal industry, and is the great steward of the royal family. It is in charge of the royal purse and makes money for the royal family.
But the House of Internal Affairs is different. The House of Internal Affairs actually manages some chores, mainly the eunuchs and maids in charge of the palace, and some things in the Immortal Palace. Although the power is not small, it is not as powerful as the House of Internal Affairs. But it's far from it.
Liu Zhong is the eunuch with a gift of pen. He is in charge of the inner palace. He is the general manager of the inner palace and the admiral of the Hussars. So to be honest, his power and status are higher than that of Wei Xiaode. of.
The Immortal Emperor got a lot of benefits from Liu Zhong's control of the Hussars, so he asked Wei Xiaode to form the East Guard. The East Guard was to monitor the world, and this power was also very powerful. At the same time, Wei Xiaode was still In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Immortal Emperor is actually playing with balance by doing this. , he could not let Liu Zhong have too much power, so he raised Wei Xiaode to check and balance Liu Zhong. At the same time, he used Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode to check and balance the left and right to achieve the purpose of balance. This is why he has spent so many years The reason why he rarely goes to court, but he can still control the fairy world.
The offices of the left and right Xiang are not in the fairy palace in the sky, but in the fairy palace on the ground. However, the offices of Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode are in the fairy palace. From this point of view, It can be seen who is the confidant of the Immortal Emperor. Of course, this also has a lot to do with Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode being eunuchs.
The reason why the Immortal Emperor wants to reuse Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode is because the power of the left and right ministers in the court is a bit too great. Sometimes the Immortal Emperor dares to reject the immortal decrees issued by the Immortal Emperor. Moreover, the Immortal Emperor also discovered that before The Hussars, who have always been under his direct management, have declined so quickly in combat effectiveness. This discovery made the Immortal Emperor furious, but the power of the left and right phases had already been formed, and it was not easy for him to deal with the left and right phases, so he thought of another way, which was to start Reusing internal officials, namely Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode, led to the current situation.
Chen Xiwang was not originally a disciple of Wei Xiaode. He was a disciple of an old eunuch in the palace. The old eunuch had never done anything famous in the palace all his life. In the end, he only got the title of Yushan Fangzong official position , but he was regarded as Wei Xiaode's confidant. Later, when the old eunuch died, Wei Xiaode accepted Chen Xiwang as his disciple. Therefore, Chen Xiwang was an apprentice in the art field. He was not Wei Xiaode's disciple since he was a child. Naturally, the relationship was distant. layer.
But Chen Xiwang is serious about his work and has always been loyal to Wei Xiaode. Wei Xiaode has valued Chen Xiwang more and more over the years, otherwise he would not have been allowed to become the leader of Dongwei. You know, like A disciple like Ma Degong, whom Wei Xiaode taught since childhood, is now also the leader of Dongwei. You can imagine how much Wei Xiaode likes Chen Xiwang. Of course, Chen Xiwang's identity is incomparable with Ma Degong. Although Ma Degong is also the leader of Dongwei, he has to serve Wei Xiaode every day. He also lives in the Immortal Palace, and even everyone It can be seen that Wei Xiaode is training Ma Degong as his successor, but Chen Xiwang is not yet at that level.
The two flew to the Immortal Palace and entered the Immortal Palace directly from the side door of the Immortal Palace. After arriving in the Immortal Palace, they turned around a few times and entered a In a small courtyard, this small courtyard is not very It was large, but there were several rooms. The middle room was the largest. Both of them knew that it was Wei Xiaode's room. When they arrived outside the room, Ma Degong bowed to the room and said, "Master, Junior Brother Chen Arrived.”
"Come in." A somewhat deep voice came. This voice was a little deep, but it was pleasant. The two of them responded, and then entered the room. Once they entered the room, they found that this room was actually not Small, there is a large brocade couch at the end. This brocade couch is very It is large enough to sleep several people. In the middle of the brocade couch, there is a small table. On the left and right sides of the small table, one person can sleep. On both sides of the brocade couch, there is a small eunuch standing on each side. , the two little eunuchs stood there with their heads bowed, motionless, just like two statues. On the brocade couch, there is an old eunuch sitting. Although he is old, he is not very old. He looks like he is only in his fifties. His hair is meticulously combed and his clothes are very casual. He is sitting there. , holding a booklet in his hand and reading.
The two of them hurriedly saluted the old eunuch and said, "See you, Master." As they spoke, they saluted the old eunuch. The old eunuch turned his head and glanced at the two of them, then smiled slightly and said: "Get up."
This old eunuch looked very handsome. Although he was old, he looked very handsome when he was young. He looks very handsome now, with a gentle smile on his face. Sitting there, he looks like a handsome scholar. It is not obvious at all that he is the eunuch in charge of a place like Dongwei.
The two of them responded in agreement, and then straightened up. Ma Degong naturally walked to the edge of the brocade couch and said to the old eunuch: "Master." Wei Xiaode nodded and waved his hand, and Ma Degong He took a step back and stood on the edge of the brocade couch, looking at Chen Xiwang.
Wei Xiaode looked at Chen Xiwang, and then said: "Xiwang, last time I asked you to go to Qingdu City to do something, you did a good job." When he said this, his tone was gentle, his face He was still smiling, as if he were an elder talking to a junior whom he admired very much.
But Chen Xiwang was not happy at all. No matter who Wei Xiaode talked to, he always looked like this. Even if he wanted to kill the other person, he would still talk to him like this. So he really didn't know what Wei Xiaode said to him. If so, are you really praising him, or are you making sarcastic remarks and blaming him?
Chen Xiwang said quickly: "Master, I didn't handle things in Qingdu City well and made big mistakes. Please ask Master to punish me." He didn't know if Wei Xiaode was really praising him. Anyway, He admits his mistake first.
After hearing what Chen Xiwang said, Wei Xiaode still smiled and said: "No, you are not to blame for that matter. No one thought that there would be such a thing in Qingdu City, let alone that this would happen It will be a conspiracy of the Shadow Clan people. You have done a good job, at least It's good that you have returned the treasures of the eight major families to the treasury."
Chen Xiwang said quickly: "Thank you for the compliment, Master. I really don't deserve it." He heard it now. Wei Xiaode didn't seem to really blame him, that's why he said this.
Wei Xiaode looked at Chen Xiwang and said: "But I heard that after you came back, you have been asking your people to trace the other Black Crystal Skulls with all their strength, but there is no trace of the person who took away the Black Crystal Skull. Not very interested, what does this mean? ”
Chen Xiwang quickly said: "In reply to Master, the person who snatched the skeleton should not be from the Shadow Clan. Otherwise, there is no need for him to snatch the skeleton from the Shadow Clan. Therefore, the disciple believes that the skeleton will not be lost for the time being. to the ShadowClan, but we have to find the other skeletons If the Shadow Clan loses a skeleton, they will definitely grab other skeletons as soon as possible. If we can’t find the other skeletons as soon as possible, those skeletons may be snatched away by the Shadow Clan.”
