Chapter 137

At noon the next day, Tang Zhou went out with two entourages casually. Then Liu Yan's people, who were in charge of monitoring him near the Tang family's house, were personally led by Gao Pei, except for the two who were left to continue to monitor the Tang family, the others immediately followed Tang Zhou.

At this time, you can also see Taiping Taoists everywhere in Luoyang City, and although it is not like the Taiping Dao base camp in Jizhou, there are about 2,000 Taiping Taoists in the entire Luoyang City. Therefore, Tang Zhou traveled all the way, and as a disciple of the head of the Taiping Dao, all the Taiping Daoists he met saluted him one after another. Tang Zhou also returned the salute one by one, and he was very accustomed to the ordinary people of Luoyang, and he didn't notice anything abnormal about them.

Tang Zhou walked all the way and gradually came to the northeast corner of Luoyang City, which was far away from the palace, but very close to the city gate. Tang Zhou walked into an ordinary mansion with two entourages, the door was guarded, and some people came in and out, but it seemed that all of them were Taiping Dao disciples.

After Gao Pei followed the neighborhood, he let go of the distance, so that his subordinates also dispersed, so as not to attract the attention of the other party. And behind Gao Pei and the others, Xie Jing also brought a few people to follow them, but he had to follow Tang Zhou, understand that he knew that this was Taiping and there was a gathering point here, so there was direction in tracking, and the only thing that needed to be paid attention to was not to attract Gao Pei's attention.

After Tang Zhou entered the mansion, he walked through a small courtyard and walked towards one of the wings, where he made an appointment with Feng Yu and Xu Feng to meet here today. But to his surprise, he met someone here who wasn't supposed to be here right now.

"Yuanyi, why are you here?" It turned out that this person was Ma Yuanyi, who Zhang Jiao arranged to gather believers in Jingzhou and Yangzhou and cooperate with Tang Zhou.

"The Great Sage and Good Master ordered me to cooperate with your actions in Luoyang, and I naturally came here to connect with you." Ma Yuanyi looked like a matter of course.

"I thought you sent your subordinates over, but I didn't expect it to be Yuanyi, you personally went out." Tang Zhou explained.

"The stakes are very high, it is better for me to come here in person, and the believers in Jingyang and Yangzhou, I have arranged for my cronies to organize." At the top of Taiping Road, they all knew about Zhang Jiao's ultimate goal of rebellion, and everyone was very excited when they first found out. Because everyone has at least a few thousand people under their hands, and there are tens of thousands, which fuels their blind self-confidence, but as the time agreed by Zhang Jiao gets closer and closer, everyone has a trace of nervousness, and Ma Yuanyi came to Luoyang in person, which is a manifestation of tension, and they all hope to be able to perfectly realize every step of Zhang Jiao's plan.

"That's fine, it just so happens that I made an appointment with our people in the palace to meet today, and we will discuss the specific plan together." Tang Zhou also knew Ma Yuanyi's mood, and said to him with a smile.

"Oh, I just heard that Tang Zhou you developed believers in the palace and let them participate in our plan, but I didn't know who they were, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet them in person this time." Regarding the specific news of Feng Yu and Xu Feng, only the three brothers Zhang Jiao and Tang Zhou knew, and the others did not know, but they only knew that they were also related to Taiping Dao in the palace, so Ma Yuanyi heard that he could meet the believers in the palace, and he was also very curious about the identity of the other party.

"Shizun asked Yuanyi to cooperate with me, and I also know that you are the most loyal in your faith, and I also have to inform you of the identity of the believers in the palace to avoid accidentally injuring them after the incident. Presumably they're almost there, so let's go in and wait. Tang Zhou said.

When Tang Zhou and Ma Yuanyi were talking in the mansion, Tang Zhou and Gao Pei, who were watching outside, saw several rich men dressed up and with white faces walking towards the mansion. Among the several people, the two middle-aged people were the mainstay, and when they arrived at the door of the mansion, one of the middle-aged men glanced at the guards at the door, and one of the Taiping Road guards hurriedly took them into the mansion and walked towards the wing room that Tang Zhou had ordered before.

"Do any of you know the guys who just went in?" Almost at the same time, Gao Pei asked his subordinates beside him.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know them, which made Gao Pei feel the urge to rush into the mansion and grab the other party directly. However, he thought that Liu Yan had told him not to startle the snake, and suppressed this impulse.

At the same time, Xie Jing was also the same as Gao Pei, and the people around him said that they didn't know the person who had just entered the Taiping Dao stronghold. However, one of them thought to Xie Jing that Tang Zhou had sent someone to deliver a letter to the palace yesterday, and the few people who had just gone in looked like eunuchs, and they should be Tang Zhou's internal response in the palace. So he asked the person in charge of intelligence in Luoyang: "Do we have development eyeliner in the palace?" “

"Yes, but he's not here right now." Luoyang's intelligence director was named Feng Bei, a middle-aged man in his thirties, who heard Xie Jing's question and quickly replied.

"Is this person reliable?" Xie Jing asked.

"Reliable, he is my nephew, I got him into the imperial dining room through connections, and now he is studying with an imperial chef." Feng Bei replied.

"Okay, can I contact him now and let him go out of the palace, I need to know the identities of the people who entered the Taiping Dao stronghold just now." Since he knew that the person was available, because it was not easy to travel in the palace, Xie Jing asked Feng Bei first.

"Wait a minute, sir, I'll contact him." Feng Bei also knew that the identities of those people just now were very important, and they now wanted to find out the main forces of Taiping Dao in Luoyang without letting the other party find out, and they already knew the stronghold of Taiping Dao in Luoyang, and they mainly needed to know their relationship in the palace.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here." Xie Jing agreed.

Feng Bei was ordered to leave quickly, and Gao Pei was not idle, he followed Liu Yan into Beijing for a long time, and his connections in Luoyang were more extensive, at this time he also sent people to contact the eyes in the palace and let them find out who was not in the palace today.

In the mansion, after Feng Yu and Xu Feng came in, Tang Zhou introduced them to Ma Yuanyi, and when Ma Yuanyi knew that the two were both Zhongchang attendants, he admired Tang Zhou. Because of this, Emperor Ling reused eunuchs, and the middle and regular servants were left and right, and they were in charge of the advisers to deal with them, and they were the favored ministers of Emperor Ling, with great power, and with them as internal responses, their Taiping Dao's actions in Luoyang would be much smoother.

When Feng Zhen and Xu Feng learned Ma Yuanyi's identity, they did not show much enthusiasm. In their opinion, they are the emperor's personal attendants, and even if they join the Taiping Dao, their status is not comparable to ordinary people. In the future, if Zhang Jiao wins, they will also be the real eunuchs in the palace, Tang Zhou won their respect because of his identity as a disciple of Zhang Jiao, but for ministers like Ma Yuanyi, they felt that they did not need to lower their status to give in.

Ma Yuanyi was furious when he saw the attitude of the two towards him, and he was about to make a sarcastic remark, but Tang Zhou stopped him. Tang Zhou asked Feng Yu and the two to go to the wing room first, and he arranged for Ma Yuanyi to come over to do something, and then he pulled Ma Yuanyi out.

"Why are you pulling me, it's just two eunuchs, you dare to look at me with such eyes, and they don't look at their own identity." As soon as the two walked away, Ma Yuanyi scolded and said.

"I know, but we're still using them, so we're going to focus on the big picture. And if it weren't for these eunuchs bewitching Emperor Ling, we wouldn't be so easy to act. Tang Zhou comforted, in fact, not only in Ma Yuanyi's heart, but also in Tang Zhou's heart and even in the hearts of all scholars or people, eunuchs are not good people, and they don't mind looking at them with their greatest malice.

"If it weren't for that, I'd have let them know what they were." Although Ma Yuanyi recognized Tang Zhou's reasons, he was still not very relieved.

"I'll deal with them, you go and see if there's anything unusual around." Tang Zhou commanded.

Ma Yuanyi really didn't want to continue to stay with them, and originally thought that since the people in the palace had joined the Taiping Dao, they would at least show respect for themselves, the generous and handsome of the Taiping Dao, but they didn't expect that they would have such an identity, and their attitude was even more arrogant. After listening to Tang Zhou's words, he left in a huff.

After Tang Zhou entered, he first confessed to Feng Yu and Xu Feng, and then said: "This time I called the two Ming Dukes over, because I received a message from the master, let us start the matter on March 5 this year, the task of the two is to act as an internal response when we attack, and take the palace in one fell swoop. ”

Hearing the word Feng Hou, both Feng Yu and Xu Feng's eyes lit up, and Tang Zhou's burning eyes were a little tingling. Because the eunuchs are both high and powerful, but their social status has always been very low, even if Emperor Ling reuses them, it is impossible to give them a title. At this time, hearing Tang Zhou's personal promise, telling them that they had the opportunity to be a marquis, and then they could also succeed a family member as their son, so that they could also get blood and food after death, which could be said to be their eunuch's lifelong pursuit.

"Sir, rest assured, we will definitely live up to the trust of the great sage and good teacher, and we will need a lot of kind words from Mr. in the future, and we must remember Mr.'s kindness." Feng Zhen and Xu Feng said together.

"Kindness can't be talked about, it's all for the sake of peace and harmony." Tang Zhou knew that the two wanted to have a good relationship with him, so that he could grab more rights in the future, but Tang Zhou didn't want to have too much contact with them, so he said lightly.

Seeing this, the two of them didn't care, thinking that as long as Taiping Dao seized the supreme position in the future, they would definitely be the leaders of the eunuchs in the palace, and they had seen how much power the eunuchs around Emperor Ling had now, and they knew that they would have such power in the future, and they were not afraid that Tang Zhou would not come to slap him.

After that, Tang Zhou and the two of them had a more detailed discussion on how to exchange news more secretly, and how to cooperate. At this time, the two of them had been carried away by the surprise of the opportunity to seal the marquis, and naturally agreed to Tang Zhou's arrangement, no matter how difficult it was.
