The soldiers guarding the gate of the Jiedu Embassy saw Jia Ke follow the eunuch in, where did they dare to stop them? So he let Jia Ke follow the old eunuch and easily enter the Jiedu Embassy.

As soon as they entered the door of the mansion, Wang Tao, the envoy of Jiedu, came out from inside, and it seemed that they had received a report and came to greet the old eunuch. But after seeing Jia Ke, he ignored it, as if Jia Ke didn't exist at all.

Wang Tao smiled with a smile on his face, arched his hand and said to the eunuch: "Gonggong Zhao is here, I will greet you late and ask for forgiveness." ”

Eunuch Zhao also smiled and arched his hand: "My lord, where did this come from, our family is just a lowly person, where can we afford to be greeted by adults." ”

"Father-in-law can't say that, father-in-law is a person around the emperor, and this one is much more noble than others." After speaking, Wang Tao glanced at Jia Ke.

Jia Ke saw Wang Tao's attitude towards him, and even mocked that he was not a eunuch, and his anger rose in his heart. But he held back, and now was not the time to start a conflict with him. Originally, Jia Ke thought that after Wang Tao took refuge in Wang Ziteng, even if he had some contradictions with him this time, he would not be too rude to himself in the face of Wang Ziteng, but he didn't expect Wang Tao to be a little restrained.

He heard Fan Kang say that Wang Tao's advisor Gao Hong is quite talented, and now Wang Tao can't get along with himself, is it Gao Hong's idea? But this kind of petty trick doesn't look like the idea of a capable strategist.

Eunuch Zhao didn't care about their previous contradictions, but said: "Since everyone is here, then let's do things today, and we will be clean in each other." ”

Wang Tao replied with a smile on his face: "Listen to my father-in-law's orders, and I will let people prepare incense cases." ”

As he spoke, he let Eunuch Zhao go to the hall of the Jiedu envoy and invited Eunuch Zhao to sit on the tiger skin chair in the middle, Eunuch Zhao still knew the rules, although he was very domineering every time he went down, but he never violated the rules of officialdom.

This time, seeing Wang Tao let him sit on the throne, he would never dare, if he sat in this position and let the imperial historians participate in a book, he would be killed by the emperor immediately. Although the eunuchs of this dynasty are very powerful, under the suppression of the emperors of previous dynasties, their status is very low. This is the method that the founding emperor came up with, not only to use eunuchs, the emperor's house slaves, to fight against the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but also to make them bigger, and finally become eunuchs to hold the emperor hostage.

Therefore, no matter how Wang Tao gave in, Eunuch Zhao did not sit on it, and in the end, Eunuch Zhao was a little annoyed, and said unceremoniously: "My lord asked our family to sit in this position, do you want our family's life, or what?" ”

Wang Tao reacted when he heard this, although the eunuchs of this dynasty are powerful, Taizu and Emperor Taizong have made regulations on their sitting, lying and walking, and one of them is not allowed to sit on the official throne.

After Wang Tao reacted, he hurriedly apologized, and Eunuch Zhao was not in the mood to greet him anymore, so he asked directly: "How is the preparation of the incense case?" We don't have time, so we'll be delayed here. ”

Wang Tao saw Eunuch Zhao's impatience, and hurriedly ordered someone to speed up, and soon there was an incense case in the lobby.

Eunuch Zhao came to the incense case, and the little eunuch who followed him hurriedly delivered a sandalwood box. Eunuch Zhao carefully opened the box and took out the yellow holy decree from it.

Wang Tao and Brother Jia hurriedly came to the incense case and knelt down.

Eunuch Zhao opened the holy decree, glanced at the two people kneeling below, and then read it aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: Jia Ke has broken the Tatars, has made outstanding contributions, and I am very relieved. Chin this. ”

Jia Ke shouted loudly below: "Minister, Jia Ke takes the order." ”

After listening to him, Eunuch Zhao turned the incense case and put the holy decree in his hand, and then said gently: "General Jia, the emperor is very important to you. You have to repay the emperor's grace. ”

Jia Ke hurriedly said: "Even if the minister dies, he can't repay the emperor for me, and from now on there will be death." ”

Eunuch Zhao listened to his words, and then said with satisfaction: "Your Majesty, this time, half of the troops in Xuanfu Town have been handed over to you, you have to be cautious." ”

Jia Ke now finally knows that Wang Tao, the envoy of Jiedu, why is he so dissatisfied with him? He is now controlling the two towns of Xuanhua and Kaiping. blocked the gate of Xuanfu Town, although it was said that the safety of Xuanfu Town was guaranteed, but he had 40,000 troops at this time, almost half of the troops. If you remove the number of people who eat empty salaries in various places, he almost controls two-thirds of the troops in Xuanfu Town, and almost makes Wang Tao's festival an empty position. Compared with this matter, the previous struggle with Jia Ke was just a trivial matter.

After reading the holy decree, Eunuch Zhao seemed to let go of a matter of concern, and said with a relaxed face: "Since the matter has been completed, then our family should set off tomorrow." ”

When Wang Tao heard him say this, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Although my father-in-law has lived in our Xuanfu Town for a while, he has been busy with official business and has no time to travel around. Now that I'm finally done, I'll walk around with Grandpa Zhao in the next few days. You can also enjoy the scenery of the grassland. ”

How do you know that this takes care of the eunuch but does not appreciate it, during this time Eunuch Zhao was in Xuanfu Town, looking at this dilapidated city, not to mention comparing it with the capital, it can't be compared with any small county town of his brother-in-law, and if he wants to eat a good meal, he has nowhere to spend money. So he should have been annoyed a long time ago. Now listening to the festival makes Wang Tao keep retaining, although he has good intentions, but Eunuch Zhao is very angry and said: "Our family is busy with business, and there are still a lot of things waiting for the police car, how can we have time to play here." Okay, don't persuade me anymore, I have a point. ”

As soon as he flicked the sleeves of his robe after saying this, he took the little eunuch outside, and Wang Tao and Jia Ke hurriedly sent him outside the gate until they watched them go in a sedan chair.

Seeing that Eunuch Zhao had left, Jia Ke turned around and said to Wang Tao: "The lowly Jia Ke is here to give a salute to the lord." ”

Wang Taopi said with a smile: "Lord Jia is now in a high position, where can I be used to give me a gift." ”

Jia Ke hurriedly lowered his head and said to Wang Tao, "Where did the adults say this?" No matter how big an official I am, I am also a person under the hands of adults. Listen to the orders of the adults. My lord is ashamed to say this. ”

Wang Tao saw that he was still so humble to himself, so his face eased, and then said calmly: "The military situation is urgent, I won't keep you." After you go, I will have no soldiers for you. I will only pay you every month, and you will recruit the soldiers you use. After saying that, he went into the house without looking back.

Jia Ke hung him outside the door, but still bowed down and clasped his fists and saluted Wang Tao's back. In fact, he was already very angry in his heart, this Wang Taoguang said that he would recruit troops by himself, but he didn't mention a penny, did he let him recruit troops empty-handed?

The soldiers outside the gate saw this situation, although they were the personal soldiers of Wang Tao, but they knew that Jia Ke was running back and forth for Xuanfu Town this time, and was born and died several times, and now they saw him being treated like this by Wang Tao, who made Jiedu, have a look of unbearability on their faces. They still have a good impression of Jia Ke, if Jia Ke hadn't come to help in time, they probably wouldn't have survived now. Now that Jia Ke has been treated unfairly, they are all angry for him.

It wasn't until Wang Tao's back disappeared that Jia Ke straightened up. Then he smiled and bowed his hand to the soldier at the gate, as if he had not paid any attention to it, and then led the horse by the side and led the man away.

After Jia Ke left a certain distance, the smile on his face immediately disappeared and became extremely gloomy. He led his horse in front, and several of his own soldiers followed, and did not dare to disturb him. It wasn't until he got out of the gate of Xuanfu Town that Jia Ke looked back again, and his eyes shot a cold light.
