Chapter 739: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts (Part II)
Song Tian is currently appointed by Ying Caihe as the head of internal affairs of the Tibetan Sword Pavilion, and the original head of internal affairs was sent to Jiangning Mansion by Ying Caihe to serve as the head of the Jiangnan Dongdao Hall.
Although the warriors of the Tibetan Sword Pavilion in Chengdu were wiped out in the Chang'an Army, there were still some forces in the Tibetan Sword Pavilion in other places, including Chang'an, Yangzhou, Taiyuan, and the internal Jingnan Province, Jiangnan West Province, Jiangnan East Province, Liangzhejiang Province, etc., and their main responsibilities were to collect intelligence and monitor local officials.
In addition, in the royal family and the palace of important ministers, the Hidden Sword Pavilion also installed some hidden piles, these people are not samurai, but the maids and family members who were bought by the Hidden Sword Pavilion, strictly speaking, they are not the people of the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
At present, there are only some members in charge of internal affairs and logistics left in the headquarters of the Chengdu Tibetan Sword Pavilion, and there are no warriors, Song Tian brought fifty warriors from Chang'an, but the number is still not enough, so Song Tian seconded two hundred people from Zhang Yun.
Song Tian rode to the southern gate with two hundred warriors, and a soldier stopped them, and asked for the commander of the brigade, "Who is it?" ”
Song Tian took out the silver medal of the Hidden Sword Pavilion and shook it, and said coldly: "Blind your dog's eyes!" ”
The brigade commander was frightened and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to give way, and Song Tian snorted and led the warriors to rush into the city.
The brigade commander was a little afraid, he offended these killing gods, and no one dared to care about being wiped out by the whole family at night, but then again, the warriors of the Hidden Sword Pavilion generally went out at night, and they rarely appeared during the day.
Song Tian hurried back to the official office of the Tibetan Sword Pavilion with everyone, the Tibetan Sword Pavilion is the internal name, and it also has a name externally, called the Supervision Bureau, but behind the hundred officials of the imperial court it is called the Surveillance Bureau, and his main function is to monitor the royal family and officials.
Located on Chengdu East Street, the Inspectorate covers an area of 20 acres and consists of official offices, warehouses and dormitories, Ying Caihe spends most of her time in the palace, and she also has a group of female warriors under her command to protect the safety of the harem concubines.
And the official office is in charge of the internal affairs of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, so Song Tian has a lot of power, and he is also in charge of the financial power of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, he is also very capable, and he got started in two days, and packed up more than a dozen subordinates in charge of internal affairs.
Song Tian ordered his men to arrange a lodging for two hundred warriors, and he walked quickly to the official office, and when he walked to the door, he heard Ying Caihe reprimanding his men.
"Why don't you get in touch for three months? How do you do things, do you feed you dry?"
Several subordinates in charge of internal affairs trembled and said: "Director Tang didn't give orders, and the money is in his hands." ”
"Start contacting now, all the money that should be given will be given, and how much money is needed to get the approval of Director Song."
Song Tian walked in and said with a smile: "Why is Manager Ying angry?" ”
Ying Caihe didn't dare to put up a fight with Song Tian, she snorted and said: "Tang Wu hasn't been in contact with the dark pile for three months, and he hasn't allocated money, why haven't I reported it." ”
The hidden pile is the inner response of the royal family, relatives, and ministers in the palace, maids, family members, grooms, etc., who are responsible for monitoring these ministers and royal families for the Tibetan Sword Pavilion, and they take the subsidy of the Tibetan Sword Pavilion every month, a total of more than 40 people.
Song Tian nodded, "I also found out yesterday, and I plan to sort it out this afternoon and allocate the money." ”
"That's good, I just have something important to discuss with Chief Song."
Everyone was surprised, the head of Ying has always been fierce and vicious, and trained the former Tang director like a dog, why he was so polite to this Song director, it was unheard of, although he was surprised, no one dared to ask more, and everyone went back to the official room to get busy.
Ying Caihe invited Song Tian to sit down, and she muttered: "Just now, Du Qiu's express letter has been delivered, and the Son of Heaven has specially summoned two messengers. ”
"What does this mean?" Song Tian asked a little puzzled.
"It means that the contradiction is about to intensify, the Son of Heaven already knows that the Hidden Sword Pavilion sent someone to intercept and kill Dugu Qiu, but he didn't summon me, which is very abnormal."
Song Tian was silent for a moment and said: "There are some things I shouldn't ask more, but since His Royal Highness King Jin sent me to assist the governor, he wants me to participate in the affairs of the governor, can the governor reveal a little bit to me, what are we going to do?" ”
Guo Song instructed Ying Caihe to tell Song Tian when the time was ripe that since Du Qiu's letter had arrived, Ying Caihe felt that the time should be ripe.
She glanced out and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin wants us to promote the eunuch group to launch a palace coup and re-establish the Son of Heaven!" ”
Song Tian suddenly realized, this move is ruthless!
Song Tian thought for a while and said, "But the eunuchs must be made to feel the existential crisis!" ”
"His Royal Highness is already doing it, and the precondition for him to propose peace talks is to kill the eunuchs, and I believe that the Son of Heaven will definitely consider it in order to return to Chang'an."
"Will the Son of Heaven attack the eunuchs?"
Ying Caihe sneered and said: "The eunuch is the dog of the Son of Heaven, kill this batch of dogs, and raise another batch of dogs in the future." ”
"I see, what do we need to do?"
"I came here to remind you that you will recruit samurai as soon as possible, it seems that I am overthinking, and His Highness should have made arrangements."
Song Tian nodded, "His Highness has arranged for a group of the most elite soldiers to enter Chengdu Mansion before, there are about a thousand people, and they will assist us at any time." ”
Ying Caihe was worried that the number of people in her hands was insufficient, but she didn't expect that the master had arranged for a thousand elites to lurk in Chengdu Mansion, which really made her happy, she and Song Tian discussed for a while, and then hurried back to the palace.
..........
'Bang! ’
Li Shi smashed his fist on the imperial case, pointed at Song Chaofeng and said angrily: "You say! You give me an explanation, why did you send the warriors of the Tibetan Sword Tower to intercept and kill Dugu Qiu? You..... What are your intentions? ”
Song Chaofeng crouched on the ground and said tremblingly: "The old slave doesn't know that Dugu Guogong was sent by His Majesty, and the old slave thought that he was going to betray His Majesty and defect to Guo Song, they are Weng sons-in-law!" ”
Li Shi trembled with anger, "The dignified Guogong can kill if you want, what am I in your eyes, is it an ornament?" Don't think you're a privy envoy, you're a dog in my eyes, and I'm going to kill you like a dog. ”
Song Chaofeng was shocked, his eyes shot out of resentment, and he didn't say a word.
"From today onwards, you are not allowed to transfer the Hidden Sword Pavilion again, not allowed!"
"The old slave obeys!"
"Get out! Get out, I don't want to see you again. ”
Song Chaofeng was so frightened that he crawled away.
Li Shi sat on the dragon couch all of a sudden, pressing his forehead, he only felt a splitting headache, of course he knew very well what Song Chaofeng's purpose was, these eunuchs were his house slaves on the surface, but in fact, they were all for their own interests, and they wanted to prevent themselves from returning to Chang'an, what kind of things are they?
Li Shi was furious again, picked up the inkstone and smashed it against the wall, 'Smack! The inkstone was smashed, the ink was splashed, and the two little eunuchs standing at the door were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath.
Li Shi snorted heavily, "Clean up!" ”
The two little eunuchs hurriedly ran forward to clean up the debris and wipe the floor.
Li Shi looked at the two little eunuchs, they were still very well-behaved when they were young, and the older they were, the worse they became, and gradually they stopped taking themselves seriously.
Li Shi couldn't help but take Duguqiu's letter, and read it carefully, in the letter, Guo Song put forward two conditions for peace talks, one is that the local officials in Guanzhong appointed by him must not be replaced, and the second is that he is required to kill thirty-three eunuchs, there is a list below, Huo Ran includes Song Chaofeng, Huo Xianming, Dou Wenchang and others.
He can agree to the first condition, if he doesn't change it now, wouldn't it be the same if he was transferred after the expiration of his term?
The key is the second condition, killing thirty-three eunuchs is actually to completely destroy Beiya, if he kills Song Chaofeng, he has no opinion, but Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang are still very trusting, and there are twenty tax supervisors, who are conscientious and conscientious to make money for themselves, which can be described as loyal, and it would be a pity to kill them.
But...... If you don't kill them, you won't be able to return to Chang'an, and let him dream of Chang'an!
Damn Guo Song, he doesn't have any sincerity at all.
The more Li Shi thought about it, the more angry and upset he became, he opened the gold box beside him, put the letter of Duqiu in it, locked the box again, and carried the key with him, he got up and said, "Drive back to the palace!" ”
He didn't have the heart to stay in the study any longer, he just wanted to return to the harem to have a good rest.
Li Shi sat on the dragon chariot, surrounded by a large group of eunuchs and palace maids, and headed for the harem.
.........
At dusk, all the officials came down one after another, and the guards began to retreat, and there were only a few guards left in the Ziwei Palace.
The guard at the door smiled and asked, "Little Father-in-law Lu, do you still have to clean it now?" ”
The little eunuch said in a low voice: "Today, the saint was furious and smashed the inkstone, and the walls were full of ink spots, if you don't clean it, you will be hit by the board tomorrow." ”
The guards knew that the Son of Heaven was angry today and smashed the inkstone to pieces, and they nodded, "Come in!" Be careful not to spill the water. ”
The little eunuch pushed the door into the imperial study and closed the door casually, he was not worried that the guards would come in, if there were no assassins, it would be a big crime for the guards to break into the imperial study at will.
The little eunuch changed an inkstone and sharpened a plate of ink, he looked around, and when he was sure that there was no one, he took out a small golden key from his bosom, 'Click!' The lock on Li Shijin's box was opened, and the little eunuch took out the letter from the inside, and he carefully opened the letter and took up a pen to copy it.
