Chapter 744 Zhongliang Humiliated
After leaving Yan Mu's garden villa, Cheng Xia boarded the car and rushed to Jiande Palace to meet the lord.

Previously, Cheng Xia was worried that it would be even more detrimental to him if the King of Zhongshan took charge of the army, so when the Lord decided to let the King of Zhongshan take charge of the army to march south, Cheng Xia was as disheartened as death.But as the army moved out, he felt that this matter was not entirely harmful, but an opportunity for him.

This time King Zhongshan fought for military power, in fact, more or less violated the Lord's taboo, and it also made the Lord feel more deeply the threat of King Zhongshan.Therefore, it is no longer the same as before, and the attitude has begun to change, especially the support for the prince has been strengthened.

After the king of Zhongshan left with his army, the lord ordered the prince to sit in Yecheng, and all the imperial guards such as chariots and hussars were under the prince's control.Moreover, Cheng Xia was no longer treated coldly as before, and began to let him intervene in many military and political affairs to assist the prince.

The general distribution of military personnel in the country will inevitably leave the country empty.Although there are still tens of thousands of elite imperial guards stationed in the core areas of Xiangguo and Yecheng to intimidate the people in the country, but if the barbarians on the borders take advantage of the country's large-scale use of affairs and make chaos, it will inevitably be lack of dispatch and lose sight of others.

Therefore, after the army was launched, the lord ordered the Liang family of Siye County to move in to fill the capital, and at the same time, the children of the good family in the province were recruited to join the army and defend the capital.

The scale of the military expansion this time is not small, and it is no longer directly recruiting soldiers for military use as in the past. There are many unruly and miscellaneous people filling the army formation. The main body is the good families of Jin people, and the laws are strict. Prepare the atmosphere of Master Wang.

Cheng Xia privately felt that the lord was planning to take this opportunity to clean up the chaos in the army, as well as the collusion and involvement and ills that had been bred out of expediency since the use of things.Previously, because the army was stuffed inside, there were many factions of generals, and it was common practice to collude with each other to cover up, even the Lord did not dare to shake the authority of these people lightly.It is precisely based on this point that King Zhongshan has such an arrogant and arrogant attitude, and even defies the orders of the master from time to time.

At present, all the armies are sent to the outer south to conquer the remnant Jin Dynasty. This is an opportunity to create a new army and return to the rule of law.From this point of view, the Lord General Zhongshan King probably also had such intentions in sending him abroad.In the future, the southern affairs will be settled, the army will return to the country, and the new army has also achieved a large scale.At that time, they will be merged and eliminated with the old army, and a new pattern and order will naturally be established soon.

Although this move may make the frontline soldiers a little dissatisfied, since the Lord dared to plan for this, he must have his own arrangements.And relying on the prestige of the master, supplemented by a gentle strategy, it will not cause too much turmoil.The most important thing is to be able to clarify the most important military affairs, so that the prince can have a sufficient foundation to inherit the state.In this regard, the Lord is really well-intentioned.

Cheng Xia, who has been in Shile for a long time, is able to occupy the prominent position today, of course, it is impossible to rely solely on nepotism.In terms of ingenuity and strategy, he is not as good as Zhang Bin, who has passed away.But when it comes to specific handling of political affairs, he is also the country's leading adviser.

The expansion of the imperial guards in the country is related to the nationality, capital and use, as well as the coordination of various government orders of the prefecture and the state. This is Cheng Xia's strength.The lord wants to build enough power for the prince to check and balance the veterans, so naturally there is no way around the process.

Right now King Zhongshan is leaving the country for an expedition, without direct oppression, and has been reused by the master, entrusted with many military and political affairs, so Cheng Xia is really proud after a long absence during this period of time.The originally slightly deserted courtyard became very noisy again, and many Jin and Hu families competed to contribute.We must know that what Cheng Xia relies on is not only the current power, but also the prince who will inherit the country in the future, who will be reused for the auxiliary government, so he will soon become popular again.

This time when the army was built, the lord purposely bypassed some old officials. This also gave Cheng Xia a chance. While assisting the crown prince in expanding the army, he gradually placed his cronies among the newly formed Forbidden Army. The military power that was strictly guarded by the master and he was not allowed to intervene!
Due to the recent changes in circumstances, he finally got the treatment he deserved for a lonely and important minister, so the resentment accumulated in Cheng Xia's early years towards the lord's partiality and suspicion disappeared for a while, and there was a feeling in his heart that he wanted to do his best and do his best The emotion of repaying this kindness of knowledge and assisting the prince to achieve the ambition of the prosperous age is rippling.

This time there is an urgent edict in the court, Cheng Xia does not doubt that he is involved, recently the Lord has often summoned him to discuss state affairs, often until late at night.So along the way, Cheng Xia repeatedly urged the emperor to go quickly, not to make the Lord wait for a long time, and soon entered the Jiande Palace through the side palace gate.

After entering the garden, a servant waited for a long time at the gate of the palace, and when Cheng Yan entered, he hurriedly led him to the garden.Cheng Xia followed behind, but his brows were slightly frowned. Recently, the Lord summoned him to greet him on foot, but this time he didn't. Letting him walk all the way behind the servants was quite out of character for a minister, so he was a little dissatisfied.But after thinking about it, the master probably had something urgent to ask, so he ignored these details, so he gradually let go of his dissatisfaction, and ran faster instead.

But soon he found out that he was not going to the Lord's Palace, but like the Queen's Palace. When he asked the servants, the Queen had indeed summoned him, and Cheng Xia became suspicious.

Empress Liu was the Lord's wife when he was young, and now she is getting older and her beauty is gone. Although the Lord is a little lucky to be intimate with him, he always respects the Queen and asks about state affairs every time.So for Empress Liu, not only did Cheng Xia not dare to neglect her, but she even repeatedly taught her younger sister, Cheng Shi, not to be arrogant because of favors, but to be more courteous to the empress.Because of this, the former son Shi Xing died young, and when the lord chose an heir again, he only borrowed Empress Liu's advice so that the crown prince Shi Daya could be established.

Although he had doubts in his heart, Cheng Xia didn't dare to neglect, and soon went to the Queen's Palace. After being summoned, he walked in and paid respects, but before he had time to say anything, he heard a woman shouting from behind the screen: " Take down this evil and charming sycophant for me!"

Hearing this sound, Cheng Ya was startled, and before he had time to react, several strong servants rushed out of the palace, and directly grabbed Cheng Ya with both arms and pushed him to the ground, knocking off his hair crown, and his face was tightly pressed to the ground. He landed on the ground, his posture extremely embarrassing.

Behind the screen, Empress Liu cursed again and again, angrily scolding Cheng Xia, like a country shrew, blurting out swearing continuously, it can be seen that she is extremely angry.

And Cheng Xia listened to him for a long time while being terrified, and finally understood why Empress Liu treated him so violently and harshly.It turned out that the Lord fell ill due to the wind and cold while visiting the garden the night before, and he has not recovered yet.Mrs. Liu is concerned about her husband, so she made some inquiries in the garden, and found out that recently, the lord had Cheng Xia offering poisonous medicine and bewitching him for pleasure.

Although Mrs. Liu is not a famous lady, she is definitely a woman with perfect morals. After learning the whole story, how could she not be angry, so she immediately ordered Cheng Xia to be summoned, so this scene happened.

"Your brothers and sisters are nothing more than shabby ants. Fortunately, they were loved and adopted by the Lord, so they are rich and honored today, and they are even connected with the blood of the heir. Even secretly offering evil medicine to invite pets, do you really think that there is no one inside or outside to punish adultery!"

Liu scolded to the point of indignation, and even asked the maid to grab Cheng Ya's hair and beat him in the face, asking what kind of heart he was.

Cheng Xia was also startled and terrified at the moment, really worried that something would happen to the Lord because he donated the medicine himself, if he was charged with this crime, not only would he not be able to secure his monopoly, but he was afraid that his family would be wiped out immediately.But after listening to it for a while, I realized that the Lord was just overindulging in lust, and occasionally had minor ailments, so I felt a little relieved.But soon, he was aroused by Liu's scolding and such humiliating treatment.

My brothers and sisters are indeed poor, but you and your wife are not traitors, and even more despicable bastards!The wicked woman humiliated her with this, did she forget her family background?Today's honor is due to his loyal and courageous assistance to the Lord, and you, a country villain, are nothing but the person entrusted to you, and you are so fortunate today, how dare you humiliate the minister of the country like this!
However, he also understands that now is not the time to reason with this wicked woman. The reason why the wicked woman humiliated herself today is not only worrying about the Lord, but also jealousy.Although in the past, this vile woman always looked like she was happy to know the destiny and obeyed the rules, but she was not jealous, even a minister with high intelligence and knowledge was not immune to vulgarity, let alone this vile woman who was born in a humble village !
Moreover, recently, the lord has often supported the prince, and his trust is heavy.The successor became more and more consolidated, and Cheng Xia was able to grasp the power again, and he would become the emperor's uncle.Perhaps the villain wanted to take this opportunity to attack Cheng Xia's arrogance, lest the prince succeed in the future and reuse his mother's family, making her own situation poorer.

Although he was extremely ashamed and annoyed in his heart, Cheng Xia didn't dare to refute, but he didn't dare to bear the crime imposed on him by the queen, his cheeks were swollen from the beating, and he still insisted that loose food is absolutely harmless, and it happened that he was wearing a After taking one dose, he immediately broke free from the servant's grasp, and took another dose directly with his head raised, to prove that the powder is absolutely harmless.

Seeing Cheng Xia's state, Liu was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do next.

The entrance of the cold food powder was quickly melted away by saliva, and the energy gradually surged. Cheng Xia's expression became somewhat unruly, and he walked around His Highness with red and swollen cheeks, red eye sockets, and his expression gradually became sad and angry. Finally, he bowed to the north, and his mouth was sad. He shouted: "I am a commoner and a disciple. I am fortunate to be selected by the Lord. Since I followed him, I have only reciprocated with sincerity. I never slack off. I have assisted the Lord to forge ahead so far. I dare not think of my own merits. I am afraid that I will not be able to." Repay all your kindness! If Your Majesty the Empress hates seeing your ministers, you can offer her life, and you dare not complain! But if you use this innocent crime to pollute your ministers, even if you die, your eyes cannot be closed, and your soul cannot be at peace!"

Hearing Cheng Ya's roar of grief and indignation, Liu was stunned again on the spot, speechless for a long time.

Soon another servant rushed in from outside the hall, this time it was sent by Lord Zhao Shi Le, and after entering the hall, he bluntly said that the Lord had summoned Cheng Xia.

Mrs. Liu snorted coldly when she heard the words, turned out from behind the screen, stared at Cheng Xia with wide eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Although I am a woman, I don't do foreign affairs, but even if it's a little woman from the Han family, whoever does it Inside the gate of the evil court, you must fight with your life! Sin or innocence, the lord decides on his own, but if you do such mischievous things again in the future, I will never forgive you!"
