Chapter 369 Rectifying Eunuchs
"Oh? So, the father-in-law represents the Holy One?" Li Canghai made a panicked expression.

The eunuch immediately became proud and said, "You still have some good eyesight."

Gao Luochuan secretly scolded him for being stupid, Li Canghai was clearly digging a hole for him, but this hermaphrodite was still so arrogant, he really didn't know what to do.

On the night of the 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' rebellion, except for everyone in the Linzhi Courtyard, the rest of the maids and eunuchs were imprisoned. They had never seen Li Canghai, and the eunuch in front of them was one of them.

Gao Luochuan originally wanted to say something nice for him and smooth things over.But after thinking about it, these eunuchs used to rely on the favor of the imperial concubine and made things difficult for them, so he just got angry, so it's better to watch a good show.

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "Eunuch is so majestic! He can even represent the Holy One. Could it be that Eunuch is the one who rebelled against the 'Nilin Xuanwu' a few days ago and made His Majesty abdicate?"

As soon as this remark came out, the eunuch was startled.

He immediately jumped up, pointing at Li Canghai and cursing: "You... how dare you slander miscellaneous family? I think you are like a traitor, come and take him down! Take him down!"

The guards on both sides immediately stepped up and rushed towards Li Canghai.

Li Canghai sneered, reached out and took out his waist badge, and said indifferently: "Do you recognize this thing?"

Seeing this, the guards saluted and retreated.

The eunuch looked at the waist card in Li Canghai's hand, and his face suddenly became ugly. He had served in the palace for many years, so he naturally recognized that it was a gift from the emperor.

With this waist card, you can enter and exit the palace at will without being blocked!
Only then did the eunuch realize that he had kicked an iron plate. He stared blankly at Li Canghai, swallowed, and asked cautiously, "Master, who are you?"

"The official minister of Dali Temple, Li Canghai!"

Gujing Wubo's voice reached the eunuch's ears, but his face turned pale with fright, and he almost sat down on the ground.

"Your... my lord, atonement, miscellaneous family... miscellaneous family, I don't know if it was Lord Li who came here, who offended me a lot, but Wanwang atones for my sin!" the eunuch begged for mercy with a sad face.

"I don't have the guts to do that. Eunuch represents the Holy One! My lord Gao, what do you think about this matter?" Li Canghai said calmly.

Gao Luochuan narrowed his eyes, and said with a sneer, "In my opinion, it is natural to leave it to the Holy Majesty, and let the Holy Majesty decide."

The eunuch was frightened to death, he knelt down and begged in a low voice: "My lords, please spare my life, my lords, please spare my life! There is nothing to block the small mouth, so please forgive me!"

"Excuse me?" Li Canghai flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and said expressionlessly, "How can I say that Mr. Gao and I are also important officials of the court, and you have official positions. You are just a small guard, how dare you be so bold?" To the point where you don’t pay attention to the imperial court’s order? I ask you, have you obtained fame? Have you handled political affairs? Can you help His Majesty solve problems?”

Li Canghai's series of questions made the eunuch stunned on the spot.

"Hmph, you have made no achievements, but you dare to be rude to the court ministers. You are so brave!" Li Canghai's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly yelled, and the eunuch was so frightened that he fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

"What happened?" Yang Guozhong came out from the hall, his eyelids jumped involuntarily when he saw Li Canghai.

Seeing Yang Guozhong coming, the eunuch cried as if seeing a savior, "Xiangguo, save the miscellaneous family!"

Yang Guozhong saw the eunuch kneeling on the ground, and immediately frowned. With his left hand behind his back and his right hand holding an amber wine glass, he stared at the two of them and said, "Li Canghai, you are so brave, how dare you ask the servant to give you a cup of wine?" Kneel down? You are such a powerful official!"

Gao Luochuan secretly cried out that it was not good, Yang Guozhong was in power, if he wanted to defend the eunuch, Li Canghai would just stare blankly.

"Master Xiangguo, dare to ask the courtiers or the servants, which one is the greatest?" Li Canghai asked lightly.

Yang Guozhong stared at him and said in a deep voice, "Of course it's a courtier."

Li Canghai nodded, and continued: "Since the courtiers are big, what qualifications does a mere servant have to boss around in front of court officials?"

Yang Guozhong glared at the eunuch, and said coldly: "Even so, punishing him is a matter for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You must be acting a little bit out of step?"

Looking at the two of them, Gao Luochuan thought to himself, could it be that these two have old grudges?
One side is the current prime minister with great power, and the other side is a rising star promoted to Dali Temple Minister. Offending no one will end well, so Gao Luochuan decisively chose to back off, expressing his neutral position.

However, Gao Luochuan still didn't want Li Canghai to lose to Yang Guozhong.

But he was faintly worried about Li Canghai. Yang Guozhong had been in the officialdom for many years and had already turned into an old fox. Whether Li Canghai could be his opponent was hard to say.

Just like when Yang Guozhong said that he was acting as a substitute, he was actually saying that he was suspected of usurping imperial power.

Li Canghai, however, remained silent, and said calmly, "What Master Yang said is absolutely true. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will deal with crimes committed by internal servants. However, if he jeopardizes the military situation, it will be a different matter."

"What can he delay the military situation?" Yang Guozhong felt a little uncomfortable and asked with a frown.

Li Canghai glanced at the eunuch, and his face suddenly became dignified. He pointed at the eunuch, and said seriously: "I have found clues about 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu', and I have come here to report to the Holy Spirit, and he is just a low-ranking person." Eunuch, how dare you stop me? 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' has so many eyes and ears, they may escape at any time, but he stopped the two of us outside the palace and refused to report, what is it if it is not a delay to the military situation?!"

Li Canghai spoke righteously, Yang Guozhong was speechless, he opened his mouth, and glared at the eunuch bitterly.

The eunuch turned pale with fright, and was paralyzed on the ground again.

Yang Guozhong's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Li Canghai secretly, and he didn't know what he was planning in his heart.

Li Canghai said that he found clues related to 'Nilin Xuanwu', which made him a little worried.

After all, he was once involved with 'Nilin Xuanwu', if he finds out about this and reports it to the emperor, then he will be miserable.

"Oh? I don't know what clues Mr. Li has found? He wants to report to His Majesty overnight?" Yang Guozhong asked pretending not to care.

Li Canghai smiled slightly. He naturally knew what Yang Guozhong was planning. He said lightly, "It's nothing. I just found the list of people related to 'Nilin Xuanwu'."

When Yang Guozhong heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

"Master Yang, are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so ugly?" Li Canghai sneered, pretending to be surprised.

"Ahem, I really think what Master Li said is true. As the eunuch serving the Holy One, you should do your part well. Master Li has something important to report to the Holy Spirit, but you block it, it is simply unreasonable! Come on, Drag him down, hand him over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and deal with him severely!" Yang Guozhong coughed twice, and sternly shouted at the eunuch.
