Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 51 - What’s the Purpose

51: Chapter 51 What’s the Purpose

51 -51 What’s the Purpose

Those surrounding guards with swords also knelt down in a rush.

It’s a joke, since their direct superior has already saluted with a fist, what reason do they have not to follow?

Moreover, these people are just low-ranking soldiers; kneeling before the Holy Decree is proper.

However, this was something Chen Baicheng had not anticipated at all.

He did not expect that by bowing himself, he would cause all the soldiers to kneel as well.

This was unprecedented.

By doing so, wouldn’t it directly enhance the young Emperor’s prestige??

Before he could react, he heard Lin Yi actually unfolding the Holy Decree and starting to read:

“By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Right Martial Guard Great Commander Chen Baicheng, loyal and dutiful, with exceptional wisdom, has made the Right Martial Guard impregnable, truly showing the character of a Great General, which greatly comforts My heart.

However, placing talented individuals in appropriate positions is My duty; squandering great talent on minor positions is My responsibility.

Thus, to highlight Commander Chen’s capabilities, he is hereby appointed as the Commander of the Imperial Guards, effective immediately.

I entrust My safety entirely to you, and hope you will not fail My expectations.

Thus decreed~”

As Lin Yi’s voice resounded, except for Chen Baicheng himself, almost everyone was stunned.

No one could understand what was happening or what the young Emperor was planning.

Why would he transfer General Chen to the Emperor’s own trusted Imperial Guards?

But soon, they speculated in their minds that the General surely wouldn’t accept this time.

After all, if he really accepted, it would mean that General Chen had submitted to the Emperor.

Before this, they had not heard any whispers of such a move.

Looking at Chen Baicheng now, upon hearing the decree read by Lin Yi, a smirk of satisfaction immediately appeared on his lips.

Although he did not know what the young Emperor was really up to, it didn’t affect him in the slightest.

He had already planned in his heart, once he truly took over the Imperial Guards, that meant both the Imperial Guards and the Right Martial Guard were his.

He would then replace the Imperial Guard’s officers with those from the Right Martial Guard.

Furthermore, he would transfer some officers out from the Imperial Guards to the Right Martial Guard.

With his skills, it wouldn’t take long to merge the two Guards.

By then, the entire Palace would truly belong to him.

Thus, under the incredulous gaze of everyone, their Great Commander actually reached out and accepted the decree:

“I, your servant, accept the decree and give thanks.”

Hiss~

As Chen Baicheng’s voice rose, the surrounding people inhaled sharply.

At the same time, their minds went blank.

“Heh heh, congratulations to Commander Chen, oh no, now he should be called Great General Chen…”

Commander and General are not on the same level, and General and Great General are even less so.

Therefore, Lin Yi’s reference to Great General instantly caused Chen Baicheng to burst into laughter, and then he waved his large hand and said to a nearby guard:

“Hahaha, Eunuch, you’ve worked hard.

Someone, go fetch a hundred taels to give to the Eunuch!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but internally curse how fucking rich he was.

But free Silver, only a fool would say no.

Moreover, the young Emperor had hinted before that he could ask for Silver, so this could not be considered bribery.

“Then I also burst into laughter:

“Then I must thank the Great General Chen for his generosity.”

At this point, Lin Yi suddenly slapped his forehead, pretending to have just remembered, and spoke:

“Goodness, in my joy I forgot about the important matter.

His Majesty has specially arranged dishes and drinks in the Shangshan Room to welcome the Great General.

Please tidy up and come with me.”

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Chen Baicheng immediately restrained his smile, then slightly frowned as he looked at Lin Yi.

He also started to think in his mind.

Could it be that this young Emperor wants to set up a trap for me like the famous Hongmen Banquet?

But then he thought again and dismissed the idea.

This young Emperor probably wouldn’t dare.

After all, he knew that even if the young Emperor really got rid of him, the Fourth Prince would support someone else he trusted to take his place.

Moreover, those eleven commanders from the Right Martial Guard are all my trusted subordinates.

If something happens to me, they would definitely rush into the Inner City to save me instantly.

Thus, there really is no need for the young Emperor to go through great lengths to remove me.

Having understood this, Chen Baicheng then nodded in agreement.

Of course, even though he knew that the young Emperor wouldn’t kill him and it was more likely he was trying to win him over,

Chen Baicheng still carefully brought nearly twenty formidable subordinates with him.

Just as Lin Yi was conveying the Emperor’s intention to Chen Baicheng, the young Emperor on the other side was also not idle, but began to make various arrangements according to Lin Yi’s plan.

…

Inside the Shangshan Room, under the guidance of Lin Yi, Chen Baicheng also arrived here.

After he arrived, he indeed saw the young Emperor sitting at the head seat, and a rich feast had already been prepared in front of him.

Of course, the feast at this time wasn’t like those in later times where a large table would be filled and everyone would sit around it to eat; they still practiced separated meal serving.

“Hehe, Minister Chen has arrived, please have a seat.

I specifically had them prepare fine wine for you, come, quickly present it to Minister Chen.”

While the young Emperor spoke to Chen Baicheng, he also subtly nodded at Lin Yi.

Seeing this, Lin Yi also slightly nodded, then quietly excused himself.

This action did not attract anyone’s attention, after all, he was just a mere eunuch.

Naturally, he did not have the right to join the feast.

Let’s not talk about the feast here, which naturally involved toasting and celebrating, leaving Chen Baicheng somewhat proud and pleased.

Just speaking of Lin Yi, after leaving the Shangshan Room, he headed towards the Imperial Study Room.

Upon entering the Imperial Study Room, he indeed saw a Holy Decree that had already been written, laying on the Imperial Table.

He casually put it into his bosom, then left with his people towards the camp of the Right Martial Guard.

Not only that, after he walked out of the Imperial Study Room, several guards immediately followed him.

And they were in pairs, even carrying a large wooden chest.

Lin Yi looked at the heavy chest, and while walking, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

Of course, as to why the young Emperor would leave the Holy Decree so carelessly in the Imperial Study Room, naturally, it was because there were people guarding it secretly.

If it were not Lin Yi who came, let alone approaching the Imperial Table to take the Holy Decree, even getting near the Imperial Study Room would have been impossible.

Furthermore, at this moment, as Lin Yi reached the boundary of the Right Martial Guard, he was stopped again.

But when these guards saw that it was Lin Yi, they couldn’t help but be stunned.

“You again?

Didn’t you just deliver a decree?

What are you going out for now?”
