Chapter 088
If you don’t know each other, what are you going to do?
Tong Guan snorted again with a angrily voice, feeling the anger and helplessness of being bullied by a dog. There was no way for the backstage in the palace to fall into the palace, and there was no hope of easing for ten years. But it does not mean that Tong Guan is a person without temper. He also has his own dignity, especially when treating small people.
Eunuch.
A bearded eunuch.
The bearded harms the eunuch.
That's right, he is Tong Guan, the one who is still in trouble in history.
Tong Guan's misfortune starts more than ten years ago. He was a disciple of the general manager Li Xian. During the period when Li Xian was most favored, this man had already left the power that a eunuch should have and his influence reached the court directly. His talent under Li Xian was the most outstanding and the most valued talent. At that time, Tong Guan was more eye-catching than the top, and all the tea, salt, and iron, and those who were rich in oil and water were not in his eyes. He wanted to inherit Li Xian's position in the Western Army, recover the Western Xia, and achieve great achievements.
Tong Guan's ideal was very tall. A eunuch actually wanted to be the commander of a war zone. He also thought about destroying the Western Xia and expanding the border for thousands of miles all day long.
But with Li Xian in front, he had no problem with this idea.
Unfortunately, Li Xian fell.
When the backer fell, he was stunned. There is a saying that the wall fell and everyone pushed it. After Li Xian fell, it was not only the people around him, but also many people who were classified as Li Xian's party members. Especially Li Xian was a eunuch, whose party members were either generals in the army or eunuchs in the palace. In the eyes of civil officials, they were all things that were worthy of death.
In order to survive, Tong Guan decisively returned to the palace and started from the small yellow gate at the bottom. At that time, he was already thirty years old and was dormant for nearly ten years before he could escape his sudden death.
But this delay lasted for ten years.
When people are middle-aged, everything is sad. Tong Guan thought that he was not confused and was still an inner yellow gate, so he couldn't sleep at night. When could he show his ambitions? It was not until Liu was favored by the officials in the palace that he saw the opportunity. But under the circumstances, this was not an opportunity. He had to wait for someone who could break the deadlock to appear. At that time, Liu was just a lonely man in the palace, and it would be difficult for her to protect herself. If the officials had not protected her, she would probably not be able to survive in the palace for a day.
The palace is always the most dangerous place, and any mistake will make people lose their lives in vain.
Liu's identity is the same as all the female officials who entered the palace with her. They are the candidates for the Empress Dowager to choose a daughter-in-law for her grandson, and her family background is similar. The legitimate daughters of the fourth and fifth-rank officials are basically from generals.
After Meng was determined to be the candidate for the queen by the Empress Dowager, Liu had no chance at all. Logically speaking, he should have cursed Meng. But Tong Guan did not do this. On the one hand, Meng was not short of people to curse after the rise of female officials. In addition, he was not optimistic about Meng because the official family was not satisfied with Meng. He still needed to wait because he knew that only one person could laugh in the palace, the official family. However, the official family now has no power, and he was still under the control of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. But what about when he took power?
Opportunities always wait.
At most...wasting a few more years!
However, the recent actions of General Feng of the Palace made him deeply interested in Liu. Feng Shicai, who has never been concerned about trivial matters in the palace, sent a small yellow gate that he often called to Liu. This is a strong signal that Feng Shicai wants to protect Liu. Whether it is true or false, as long as General Feng does not come forward to explain, it is true. This is the case in the palace. True and false, you may never hear a truth, and you need to figure it out yourself. For Feng Shicai, 20,000 yuan is only worth giving a small yellow gate around him to run errands in front of Liu. This little money is not enough for him to come forward in person.
For Tong Guan, this is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He resolutely devoted himself to the Liu family's sect. At the same time, he acted as a contact between Liu family and the outside of the palace. Tong Guan did not lack means or experience. What he lacked was opportunity. After joining Liu family, he immediately became a think tank around Liu family. You must know that there was not even a person who came up with ideas around Liu family. Tong Guan's appearance was like her savior.
This time he came to Yizhou, he wanted to meet Liu Baosheng. After all, the official family would probably praise Liu in a few years, and at least he was also a favorite concubine. Although Liu Baosheng, the father-in-law of the country, could not be worthy of his name, it was not much worse. Besides, the deposed emperor of the Song Dynasty had done it before, and no one knew what the future would be.
Hurry up and finally arrived in Yizhou.
But I met Li Kui.
Tong Guan had a bad impression of Li Kui, and he had the kind of naughty child who suddenly jumped out to make things difficult for him. He would wink and help him say something without blinking in front of him.
But he also contradicted that Li Kui was not a bad person. After staying in the palace for a long time, Tong Guan didn't know what a person could be good, but Tong Guan was somewhat at a loss.
Soon, it was the turn to investigate Li Kui, military horses, fighting swords, and half-baby. He was obviously a trainer. All signs showed that Li Kui was not easy to mess with. It was very likely that the young master from which family came back to show his power.
"Little Langjun, come into the city!"
“Don’t check it anymore?”
"Young man was joking, you don't have goods, so you don't need to check it."
Taxun smiled with a flattering smile, Li Kui laughed, threw down a silver bean, and said, "Give me two pounds of wine to keep warm."
Li Kui's actions confirmed the speculation of Tsing Ding for him, nodded and bowed and said, "Thank you for the reward of Xiaolangjun."
Just as he approached, Li Kui secretly said to the Tax Ding: "Looking at the man and woman behind him, there was no one behind the villager, he saw that he was a fat sheep. The goods on the car were not only priceless, but also this number."
Li Kui casually gestured and entered the city with a swagger. Tong Guan didn't like him, but he didn't like Tong Guan? Just because Tong Guan was so arrogant that he was not angry and secretly held a grudge. Can he spare this dead eunuch?
Besides, he doesn't think that Tong Guan has a connection with him, and it will never be possible in his life.
After Li Kui entered the city, he was immediately attracted by the city of the Song Dynasty. Linyi is not Yishui County. The city is many times larger. Not only is the street clean, but pedestrians are constantly flowing. The long street is brightly lit and a strong festive atmosphere is coming.
He bought a simple new suit, and Li Kui found an inn on the street.
After leaving the money, he instructed the waiter to prepare hot water.
It is not suitable to go to Liu's Mansion tonight, so I can only go to the morning tomorrow.
What he didn't expect was that Tong Guan was tortured at the city gate for a long time before entering the city. After joining the shop, Sang Hongye, a girl who came with him, immediately pointed to the old horse who was eating the grass leisurely in the horse shed and said, "Aweng, do you think this looks like the horse of the black boy?"
Tong Guan looked closely and saw that it was just the variegated horse that looked dirty.
Sang Hongye said excitedly: "I have to give that black boy some color to let him offend people randomly." They were investigated at the city gate for a long time, and in the end, Tong Guan endured the pain and bribed Liang Guan for money to get out.
However, the horse Li Kui rode did not treat Tong Guan and others as opponents. Instead, he looked at a little mare with big eyes that had removed the rope from the car. The huge geese were filled with peach blossoms. He saw it hustle and greeting him enthusiastically. Herodor, twitching. He seemed to be shouting: "Come on, sister, look at my brother's food, mix wheat bran with fried beans, and it's old fragrance. Have some food together?"
Eating and drinking are secondary, the key is that it is enthusiastic and a little bit malicious.
Tong Guan was also angry. He probably guessed what Li Kui said before in front of Tsing Ding's ear. But he was a person who did big things, so how could he be blinded by temporary unhappiness?
He said in a deep voice: "Don't be too busy, it's important to do things seriously. I'll go out and don't walk around in the inn. Remember not to cause trouble for that kid, so as not to expose his identity."
He instructed Sang Hongye not to cause trouble in the inn. This place is not Bianliang, and no one will be very respectful to the eunuchs. As the saying goes, the emperor is far away, and local officials are braver one by one, especially when civil officials heard that eunuchs would go to the mansion of military generals and would not let go even if they dig three feet of ground.
Linyi City, Liu Mansion.
Yu Hou, the capital of Huaiyang Army, was from Linyi. Since he was excluded by his two superiors in the army, he has been stationed in Linyi City. Anyway, there are many generals from the Song Dynasty who are not in the military camp. Some commanders even often live in the capital, and no one cares about it.
Besides, Huaiyang is not Zhending Mansion, nor is it the western frontier. There is no war. The civil officials of the Song Dynasty turned a blind eye and were not concerned about the military generals leaving their posts without any interest. As long as the military generals do not want to make achievements, they ride on the neck of civil officials to act as a mighty blessing. For civil officials, it is acceptable. Anyway, the court regards generals as pigs, and raising one is just a raising one group is also a raising one.
In front of the Liu Mansion, two huge red lanterns were hung high and candles were lit, which made the door tower look taller.
In the doorman, an old army and the fat man were talking in a mess. In front of them were some wine and food. The fat man was Han Dahu, and it was okay to say that he was waiting for Li Kui in the doorman. It was also possible that he was not welcomed at his father-in-law's house and came to find Qingjing.
"Two, I'm very interested!"
Han Dahu was already slightly drunk, squinted his eyes and looked at the uninvited guest who was visiting, and opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you!"
"I'm coming from Yanfu Pavilion in the capital, please inform me of the master." Tong Guan didn't say much and found a place to sit down.
Han Dahu heard that the place was a little familiar, and said, "Wait."
Soon, Liu Baosheng and his whole family rushed over, and there was no Yanfu Pavilion at all. However, there was a Yanfu Palace in the palace, which was where his daughter lived. This place was logically a place for the emperor and the queen to spend their days, but now he was only nine years old, so naturally there was no queen. In addition, the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao prepared 100 daughters-in-law options for his grandson, so he sent it to Yanfu Palace for maintenance.
Han Dahu didn't know Yanfu Pavilion, but Liu Baosheng knew it, it should be Yanfu Palace. So there was a stir in Liu's house. The whole family with identities and no identities were pulled together by him and appeared in the front yard in one go.
Liu Baosheng glared at his son-in-law Han Dahu, and then bowed: "I've neglected the angel, opened the middle door, and set up the incense table."
Tong Guan was embarrassed. He stood at the entrance of the door, right?
In addition, he just came in secret, not with the imperial edict. It doesn't matter if he opened the central door. The Liu family is not a prominent family, so he can afford it. But it was too much to put on the incense table, and he hurriedly stopped Liu Baosheng and wanted to take the imperial edict: "General Liu, our family came here by Liu Jieyu, and brought a letter."
Liu Baosheng was disappointed. He thought he wanted to receive the imperial edict and go to the capital to be the father-in-law!
He was stunned on the spot, very embarrassed.
