Chapter 698: Allies

Tong Guan sat upright and went to Xihe. He really rarely used any scheming. Now that he has come back to Bianjing, this trip is a big gamble for the King of Pingxi, so why is Tong Guan the same?

Tong Guan chewed on the latest news he had just obtained, and felt as if he was stunned, thinking seriously in his heart.

It is certainly good to say that it is good to enjoy the cool under the big tree, but if you want to hide under the shade of the tree, you have to show some skills. Only with the cause will there be results. No one can escape such a big thing in the court. If you want to watch from the wall, you will definitely not be able to swing left and right, and it is even more taboo. Since you have followed the King of Pingxi, you can only go all the way to the dark.

Before returning to Bianjing, Tong Guan was still a little nervous. What should he do if the King of Pingxi was over? Li Bangyan and the Zheng family were definitely not people who knew how to forgive. Wouldn't all their futures be lost? But at this time, he was already sure that King of Pingxi was not simple, so why was Tong Guan simple?

Victory and defeat are here!

The sky was gradually getting darker, and the lights were lit in the study room, and the lights were swaying and dim.

"Godfather, the guests are here."

"Oh..." Tong Guan rose up long, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, straightened Jinxianguan on his head, and his burly figure showed a heroic posture. He said lightly: "Go to the zodiac family now."

When he entered the hall of Tong's house, Tong Guan immediately smiled. There were too many guests, so that the servants in the mansion had to buy tables and chairs. At this time, hundreds of dukes and marquis had already sat down in sequence according to the size of their titles. Some were holding tea cups in their hands, and some were drinking tea with their legs raised.

In fact, Tong Guan did not have much friendship with them. Although these princes and marquis were noble, most of them were idle nobles and were idle and idle at home. However, the ability of these people should not be underestimated. Although they usually only care about the government affairs, their marriages have long penetrated into the upper class of Bianjing over the past century. Everyone has a little bit of relatives with anyone, either uncle or uncle or uncle, or the king of the sect, and they often walk around. Many people have sisters who have become concubines in the palace, such as Duke Jing, who is the legitimate brother of the Empress Dowager. Although Jing did not get any benefits from the Empress Dowager on a daily basis, they really had to roll up their sleeves and come out to work hard, I was afraid that the King of Jin would give him a little.

But these people who are usually without connections have all come together at this time. Tong Guan greets everyone with a smile. Some of these princes and princes smile and nodded, while others bow their heads to drink tea, showing some reserve and arrogance.

Tong Guan didn't think it was offended, and his eyes finally fell on Duke Jing and said, "Mr. I'm here to visit my mansion, and the humble house is full of glory. Please sit down."

After saying that, Tong Guan sat down, took a sip of tea, and began to chat with these people, just some of Xihe's experiences, and finally said: "Xihe is bitter and cold, nothing else is that some of the best furs are absolutely authentic. The miscellaneous family specially brought a lot of them, and they must be delivered to the Zhu Mansion at that time."

Duke Jing said coldly: "Eunuch Tong, don't go around the corner, it's better for everyone to open the skylight and speak brightly."

Tong Guan was excited and became aggressive. He slapped the table and said, "The Zheng family is really too bullying. It's fine if they are to live or die in peace with the King of Pingxi. Now they are involved in the Za family, and also in the heads of the marquis. Can we still sit idly by? Tong Hu, the nephew of the Za family, is still in the Ministry of Justice Prison. Only by removing the Zheng family can this person be retrieved. Otherwise, even if they are released, they will inevitably be stained. Do you still have this future?"

His words made everyone sit upright. In fact, the guests invited have one thing in common, that is, their sons and nephews are in the martial arts school. At that time, the four words of the emperor's disciple were really scary. Since they were nobles, they naturally had to be mixed up. Originally, they said that they would go to the martial arts school to gilt first and make arrangements at that time. Therefore, 30% of the children of the first phase of the martial arts school were from nobles, but Chen Ao ran around and the guards selected were all the first phase of the school. Now, among these 1,500 people, only God knows how many people are involved with the Dukes and Mausoleums of Bianjing. Anyway, no one of the people coming here can be separated from them.

One of the nephews of Duke Jing was in the martial arts school. Now he was in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. He was originally a prisoner and said hello and the person came out. Who knew that it was not that the Ministry of Justice refused to let go, but that the boy refused to come out after he died, and his companions were all stayed in it. What was going on? He would not have the face to be a human being in the future. Duke Jing had no choice but to slap his beard and stare. When he thought about it, he calmed down.

Now this matter is no longer as simple as a nephew. The only crime of the Zheng family to get rid of King Pingxi is to bite to death and rebellion. King Pingxi killed Duke Zheng and killed the Grand Governor of Taiyuan. This crime must be confirmed. As long as the momentum is willing to create, more censors will be sent out to clamor, and the three of them will become tigers, it may not be impossible.

The problem is, if the King of Pingxi devils the king and rebellion, then what is the lieutenant? You have to think carefully about it. Even if you protect the people with your own status, you will inevitably leave any flaws. In the future, it will be a handle for settlement of the accounts after the autumn. You can bring people home today, change a new emperor tomorrow, or when will your Majesty dislike you? If someone clamors and says that his nephew is involved in rebellion, where can you go?

Therefore, people cannot be saved. At present, they have to save people and have no future troubles. The only way is to clean up King Pingxi. King Pingxi is a rebellion, and his own children are a threat. King Pingxi is a powerful man. After all, the problem lies in whether people in Taiyuan should be killed or not. If you kill, you are an accomplice. If you should kill, you are an accomplice. If you should kill, you are accused. If you should kill, you are a rebellion for the country, and you are a reward. If you don’t think about it, you are not thinking about it now. At least it is enough to clear the stains on everyone’s body.

Duke Jing smiled faintly, and had an idea in his heart. He lowered his head and blew the tea foam with his tea cup in his hand, saying, "The King of Pingxi is a hero of my Song Dynasty. There are so many things in the palace that others can't do, but he can do it. I heard that Duke Zheng, who relied on his identity to do something wrong in Taiyuan, took advantage of the collapse of Taiyuan. He did not care about the lives and death of the people, and actually dared to put down the wrongs, making Taiyuan worse. The people were forced to this point. This person with the surname Zheng was too unscrupulous, right?" He said leisurely: "I and the Empress Dowager are brothers of the relatives of the Emperor. On weekdays, the Empress Dowager repeatedly said bitterly that we are royal relatives, and even if we cannot share the worries for Your Majesty, at least we cannot cause trouble. Then what is Duke Zheng? His daughter was arrogant and dared to do such a thing?"

After saying this, Duke Jing immediately put his position in a clear place. When the other dukes and lords heard it, they immediately understood the implicit meaning of Duke Jing. Duke Mao, who was sitting at Duke Jing, sneered: "The court has traitors, and King Pingxi has been slandered. Although this guy Chen Ao has made a little trouble, he is also a little moved with me. How can I sit and see him suffer such a big loss? We have always been grateful to the country, but now the remnants of the traitors are jumping up and down, and they are rampant. Can you still watch the cold eyes?"

Like Duke Wei County, both were founding Dukes and had a prestige in the army. Although he only cared about the government affairs, over the past century, Duke Mao has been extremely noble. There were three princesses in the palace who married Duke Mao. His words were equivalent to giving the following people the meaning.

"Yes, I will be kind to you and eat your king's fortune. If there is a traitor in the court, how can we sit and watch? On the day of the imperial examination, I, the Marquis of Xiangyang, would make a fuss. I want to see how much energy the surname Zheng has, even the sect king dares to frame it. Today they can eliminate King Pingxi, and the next time they will be you and me."

After a few conversations, the scene became lively. No one was fool. Although they were all high-sounding, they were actually for themselves. Since they violated their interests, they were definitely not easy to bully.

Tong Guan smiled and said, "But then again, since you want to make trouble, you can't make trouble. There must be a rule. It is certain that you submit memorials. What is the method of submitting memorials? Everyone has to discuss and discuss it again. Everyone can make a group of people in Zheng knows how powerful we are. The family has not been idle these days. They have already asked someone to go to Huaizhou to search for evidence of the Zheng family's crimes. There is another person, and I believe everyone is interested."

Duke Jing thought Tong Guan was not an opportunistic eunuch and did not look down on him very much. Seeing that he was prepared, he had to look at him with admiration and said seriously: "Who is this person?"

Tong Guan laughed, put down the teacup, clapped his hands sneeredly, and said, "Come out and meet all the princes and marquis."

After a while, a burly man came in wearing a cloth robes, and a shocking scarlet whip mark could be seen on his body. The man pursed his lips and knelt at Tong Guan's feet, saying, "Godfather, I know I'm wrong, I won't dare to do it again."

Everyone knows that Tong Guan’s son is not one hundred or dozens. When they meet, they just welcomed Tong Guan’s godson. He asked someone to entertain and serve tea and was another godson. Now another one appears, which is not surprising at all.

Tong Guan smiled and said, "Just know the mistake, and you need to correct the mistakes of cicadas. You should first say, what have you done on the three sides?"

This godson was a martial artist at first glance. Although he was beaten, he had no imitation. He said straight to the point: "My grandpa, marquis, villain's name is Yang Xi. When he was young, his father died on the battlefield. He was taken in by his godfather and taught me a gun and rod, so that I joined the army. In the border town, I finally made some contributions. I finally did not teach my ancestors to be shamed and did not embarrass my father. Later, my godfather ordered me to take charge of the military affairs of Kouzi Pass. This Kouzi Pass is located on the border of the Three Kingdoms of Khitan, Song Dynasty, and Western Xia. It can also go directly to Hengshan north, which is the most important trade channel..."

He said in a nagging manner that the general meaning was to accept bribes from Huaizhou people, with the Zheng family the most, allowing the Zheng family's caravan to leave the customs. Of course, it is not necessary to say that the goods in the caravan were strictly prohibited by the imperial court. Now the relationship between Xixia and the Khitan and the Song Dynasty was eased, so the investigation was a little looser. However, later, Yang Xi discovered that the Zheng family's caravan sent the Jurchens goods.

Duke Jing was moved. It was a serious crime to collude with the enemy. If someone really could prove it, the Zheng family was afraid that it would not be able to escape, so they said, "How did you know it was the Jurchens' goods?"

Yang Xi said: "In fact, there are differences in goods sent to various countries. For example, this Jurchen is best at long blade knives and is suitable for light-cutting immediately. Moreover, many Jurchens have the habit of carving names on their weapons. Finally, they have inspected a batch of goods. The long blade knives inside have the flying eagle advocated by the Jurchens, and there are many Jurchen words on them."
