"The queen mother said that Zhuo Butai failed, if the prince can defeat Zhu Cijiong, she will have the confidence to overthrow Aobai, and when the time comes, the prince will be the king of the council!"

Gonggong Liu propped his left arm on the table, and said to Luo Keduo.

Luo Keduo's eyes lit up: "Is this true?" ”

O king of the council, this is the supreme position above ten thousand people under one person!

Gonggong Liu smiled and slowly conveyed Xiaozhuang's words: "The prince is a clan, the grandson of Wang Yuezhi of Keqin County, the eldest son of Prince Lie, and the descendant of the Holy Ancestor. ”

Luo Keduo was overjoyed: "Please tell the Queen Mother that Aixinjue Luo Keduo will definitely bow to death and die!" ”

Gonggong Liu responded with a smile.

Luo Keduo continued: "It's a pity that Huguang suffered, although Sichuan has a bumper harvest this year, but the road is difficult, from Sichuan to transport grain and grass here, the consumption is quite a lot, that is, from Kuidong to take the waterway to transport grain is not feasible, if you take the waterway, ten boats may not be able to send a boat."

If you go to Shaanxi and Gansu, you will pass through Wang Fuchen's territory, forget it, the section from Hanzhong to Yunyang is under the soldiers of Nanyang bandits, but it is not very thorough! ”

Rocoduo had an army of 8,000 men, but because of the lack of food, he could not exert his strength.

The natural disasters in Huguang are still continuing, since the entry of the national dynasty, Huguang, Shaanxi and Gansu can hardly collect taxes, and the imperial court has to repeatedly reduce the money and grain of the affected places in the country.

If it weren't for the previous war with the Ming court, under the banner of war, they slaughtered the city and grabbed grain, and the treasury was full of grain, grass, gold and silver, and the dynasty would not have sat firmly!

Gonggong Liu laughed: "The Queen Mother said, Huguang will be exempted from half of the grain as usual this year, and the prince can let it go, and the court will not interfere." ”

Rocodo was overjoyed.

The Queen Mother has given him a lot of "money"!

……

Nanyang.

Zhu Cijiong was busy with the matter at hand, and suddenly thought that he had been back for two days, but he didn't see Zhang Yan.

After some inquiry, I learned that Zhang Yan actually borrowed Zhuge Temple.

"Zhang Da, get ready, I'm going to Zhuge Temple." Zhu Cijiong ordered Zhang Da, the head of the personal guard.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go and prepare."

Gonggong Liu stood aside, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"You!" Zhu Cijiong smiled: "Can I still eat you?" ”

Gonggong Liu smiled: "Emperor, I don't know if I should say something about it?" ”

"If you have something to say, let it go, if you have a fart, how can there be so many and some that don't!" Zhu Cijiong raised his eyebrows.

Gonggong Liu waved at several palace maids: "Go down!" ”

The little palace maids glanced at Zhu Cijiong, and after seeing that the emperor also waved his hand, they bent their knees and bowed, turned around and walked out of the main hall.

Gonggong Liu said in a low voice: "Emperor, Zhang Niangniang was afraid that she was hiding from you, so she went to Zhuge Temple." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Cijiong's eyes lit up.

Does this guy know about him and Zhang Yan?

Could it be that this guy has planted people around him?

Gonggong Liu was startled, and his waist bent even lower: "Emperor, the little one is just a guess, not someone telling you......"

As the emperor's companion, Gonggong Liu naturally knew everything that happened in this palace.

In fact, none of the things in this palace are meant to reach his ears, otherwise why would he, the head of the eunuch, be in charge of all the affairs of Nuoda's harem......

However, there are some things that can be done but cannot be said!

Zhu Cijiong snorted coldly, but did not speak, and the cold sweat on Gonggong Liu's head was even more.

"The emperor spares his life, the slave and maid are dedicated to the emperor, so I have to ......"

"That's it!" Zhu Cijiong interrupted Gonggong Liu's words.

He naturally knew the methods of these eunuchs.

Besides, compared with the ministers of the outer court, the eunuch of the inner court is just a dog in the hands of the emperor.

A fluttering word from a cheap father can kill the 9,000-year-old who is in power all over the world, not to mention him, the founder of the country.

The inner court is used well, but it is a great deterrent to the outer court.

Zhu Cijiong waved his hand and asked the eunuch of the inner hall who was standing behind him to retreat, and then said softly: "What is she thinking?" ”

Zhu Cijiong closed his eyes.

Men are domineering creatures, and if they were in a previous life, under the constraints of the law, men's nature was still hidden.

Coming to this era of imperial supremacy, no one can let their women leave!

He was the same.

It's just that Zhu Cijiong didn't think about how to deal with Zhang Yan's matter for the time being.

Gonggong Liu didn't even dare to raise his head, he only felt that since the start of the army, His Majesty's dragon power has become stronger and stronger.

"Niangniang's thoughts, the slave doesn't know, but the slave has a way......"

"Speak quickly!" Zhu Cijiong raised his head and looked directly at Gonggong Liu.

The sight that was like a thorn in the mang only made Gonggong Liu feel uncomfortable even if he bent down and bowed his head.

He said in a low voice: "The scruples of Niangniang are just secular pressures, if Your Majesty can make Niangniang not bear this pressure, everything will fall into place." ”

If he hadn't experienced the rebellion of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Gonggong Liu would not have dared to tempt the king so much.

After experiencing a rampant outrage and moral degradation, Liu Gonggong did this kind of pimping thing, which is simply handy, after all, - the example was yesterday!

"The story of Concubine Dong E of the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty is right in front of you, if Your Majesty Li Dai Tao stiffens and solves the embarrassment of the mother, I think Your Majesty will be able to achieve what you want."

Gonggong Liu's voice trembled slightly.

If he does this, if the foreign court knows about it, he will inevitably die!

But what are they eunuchs?

They were the emperor's domestic slaves.

has achieved his position, that is, the retainer in the ancient books.

Those who are retainers live by the lord's house and die for the lord's house.

Gonggong Liu knew his definition, and he also knew that only by satisfying the emperor could he last long.

Zhu Cijiong understood.

He wrote a note on the paper, and then used the seal:

"I was worried about the lack of information and couldn't hear and see, and the former Dongchang thought that the emperor would open his eyes, so that the ancestors and ancestors could sympathize with the people's feelings and not divide the grains. I will re-establish the East Factory today, Liu Fugui, you will be the envoy of the East Factory for the time being, and be my minions! ”

Zhu Cijiong handed Liu Fugui an approval slip of 30,000 silver.

"Slave and maid, thank you, Lord Longen!"

Gonggong Liu was overjoyed, and repeatedly bent down to bow.

"Well done, the position of Dongchang Factory is yours, you did a bad job, be careful of your dog's head!"

Zhu Cijiong knows the truth of beating someone with a stick and giving a sweet date.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the slave is awake!"

Father-in-law Liu smiled.

Isn't that what they are trying to do as retainers?

……

Under the city of Wuguan.

This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, dangerous and obstructive, known as "the heavy gate of the heaven to control the Shenzhou", "the door is not locked and the enemy is difficult to commit", "the Wuguan is closed in Qinzhong, and the Xiangyun Jianghuai Road is not passed", it is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.

Guo Xiaosi picked up the pancake stall and staggered towards the city gate.

"Yo, this living Wu Dalang is back!"

The guards at the gates laughed loudly.

A "Golden Vase Plum" wrote the fictional character of Wu Dalang.

And Guo Xiaosi, in addition to being thinner, is like the husband of Pan Jinlian, one of the three heroines in the book, Wu Dalang.

In particular, this guy also deliberately made a banner and hung it on the baked cake stall - "Wu Dalang Baked Cake".

Guo Xiaosi smiled, his face full of freckles, but with a smug smile: "Several big brothers have worked hard, this is the baked cake that the younger brother specially left for you." ”

Guo Xiaosi took out a grease package and handed over a pile of baked cakes.

"The younger brother admires the boldness of your eldest brothers, but it's a pity that I don't have a brother like Wu Song, as soon as I see your eldest brothers, I am very excited!"

Guo Xiaosi smiled.

"Get out, who's your brother!"

The leader kicked Guo Xiaosi with a smile.

It's like he's playing with a monkey.

It's not that he's innocent and difficult, but that this Guo Xiaosi is so interesting!

If it is a normal pick, this kid is not as tall as the flat shoulder, so he naturally can't bear it, so this guy directly cut off the handle of the baked cake bucket, which can pick up the flat shoulder.

However, in this way, if you look far away, you can only see the burden of the merchant moving on your own, and you can't see people......

In the face of scolding, Guo Xiaosi just smiled.

The general manager scolded with a smile, and then said: "That part of the road in Kanto is not easy to walk, you kid should rest here and go back!" ”

Wuguan was originally an important town.

Shang Yu is known as the ancient road, and the pass is 800 miles long.

Starting from Shangluo in the west of Xi'an, Shaanxi, leading to Qiyu Town in Neixiang County, Henan, the actual total length is more than 600 miles.

In the meantime, there are dozens of Xiongguan and post stations, and there are two channels of water and drought.

This Wuguan is the only place where there are two rivers and droughts, and they must pass through.

Zhang Shiping set up the new barracks in Qiyu Town, and the front part was set up in Zijing Pass, looking at Wuguan a hundred miles away.

In order to find out the enemy situation in Wuguan, but also to blend into Wuguan, so that the inside and the outside should be combined, Zhang Shiping and Jiao San sent some soldiers to infiltrate Wuguan in various capacities.

Speaking of which, I really don't blame the Wuguan Qing Army for being careless.

The terrain of Wuguan is very favorable to Shaanxi.

Although the entire Shangyu Ancient Road is more than 600 miles long, both ends are difficult to walk on mountainous areas.

This ancient road is a traffic artery that runs through the entire Qinling Mountains, and it has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The north of Wuguan, that is, the direction of Shangluo, is a basin, and this place is even very fertile, and the south of Wuguan is a small road that only allows one person to walk.

Surrounded by peaks and dense forests, there are only cliffs on both sides, and there is no path to be found except for a curved path.

The mountains here are high and dense, the roads are long, this mountain road is dozens of miles longitudinal, tens of thousands of troops are sprinkled in, but they are not satisfied!

And Wuguan is stuck at the junction of this trail and the Shangluo Basin, and even if you take the Danshui River, you can't get around Wuguan!
