After Cai You heard this, his face was not surprised, nor how lost, but a kind of relief.

The more heroic the official family, the more difficult it is for him to be a privy envoy.

Only he knows how hard he has been in the past few months.

There was no one in the entire court standing with him, and they all knew that he was about to fall, but when he fell, it still depended on when the official raised the butcher knife.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Cai You leaned on the ground and thanked him loudly.

He was very afraid that Zhao Huan would kill him, and before the results came out, he had been living in panic, and when he heard the result of the trial, he breathed a sigh of relief.

And Cai Jing had a smile on his face, he thought that after entering the dynasty, he would die, but he didn't think that the official family was really so benevolent.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." The same is true for Tong Guan, the sins he did in Taiyuan were so heavy that he thought that the death penalty was inevitable.

"Official, the minister will send the Emperor back to Genyue Palace." Tong Guan made a final request.

He has been tied to Zhao Ji all his life, and he was deposed from Beijing this time, and there will definitely be no time to see him again.

"Go ahead." Zhao Huan waved his hand and motioned for Tong Guan to send it off, after all, Zhao Ji was in an unstable mood now.

Zhao Ji was trembling all the time, especially after hearing that Tong Guan and Cai You were expelled from the capital, he was even more panicked and uneasy.

Zhao Huan didn't save him the slightest face, and expelled the only three people he could rely on now, all of whom did not stay, from the palace.

Tong Guan helped Zhao Ji back to Genyue Palace, which was built by him and Cai Jing, and the money was stolen by them from the people.

The corridor of the nine-song loop, as well as various rockery wonders, is nothing more than a fairyland on earth.

Tong Guan said as he walked: "Guanjia, after the old minister left, when he went to bed at night, tuck the corners of the quilt, and let the imperial hospital show the official family." Jiangnan walked for a while, and came out sick and tired. ”

"Now it's not as good as before, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the assistance of strong ministers and the military heart, but he can protect the safety of the Great Song Dynasty. The official family doesn't have to worry about the government every day, write braille, draw some pictures, and let the teacher and girl send it to you outside the palace to be framed. ”

"Also, the official family is now in the bureau, and the birthday compendium has been stopped by His Royal Highness the Prince. As for the prince, he is not a good negotiator, don't use money from the palace if the official family is fine, the old minister, I hid a sum of money for the official family, not much. The official family saves some flowers, don't embarrass His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Zhao Ji patted Tong Guan's hand, shook his head, and said, "You take your money away, can I still live without money?" How can Zhao Huan say that he is also my son, can he still give me food and clothing? ”

Tong Guan thought about it, and still said: "Isn't it convenient to have money in your hand, it's a big deal here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, and he has to use money everywhere, and the official family spends excessively on weekdays, and if you ask the prince for money, you have to open your mouth, right?" ”

"The money is in the organ under the official's house, and this money is the last money given to the official by the old minister, but you can't let the palace maid and the teacher and the girl know."

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "The teacher girl is also ......."

He had thoroughly understood what Master Li was doing in Jiangnan.

Zhao Ji took a deep breath and said, "I know." After you arrived in Yingzhou, you were very careful, I heard that the place was full of pigs and dragons, all of them were as long as one zhang, and they were very fierce, so you were very careful. ”

Tong Guan saw Master Li waiting in front of the gate of Genyue Palace, as well as countless palace maids, and bowed his head and said, "The old minister has retired." ”

Zhao Ji also knew that this time he was gone, but he would never see him again.

He nodded and said, "Be careful on the road." ”

"I know." Tong Guan bowed his head and said.

Zhao Ji walked forward with his hands in his hands, and his walking posture was still majestic, as if he was still the emperor who was powerful in the world, he walked into Genyue Palace, and hugged Master Li in his arms with a smile.

People will subconsciously forget their grief, and even deceive themselves, although Zhao Ji knows that he is no longer the emperor, but he still has to deceive himself.

In this way, he will not be sad and angry about the departure of his ministers, and he will not be sad for the deception of his concubines.

Of course, he knew that he was lying to himself.

But what else can be done? Remembering that only adds to the sadness.

Life must be full of joy.

Tong Guan bowed his head for a long time before he stood up, and looked at the personal servants outside Genyue Palace who were in armor and had their bows and crossbows wound, and knew that his emperor would never receive any news from the outside in his life.

And the news in Genyue Palace can also be known to Zhao Huan.

Tong Guan suddenly thought of when the Emperor Taishang left Beijing, the officials knelt in the snow, and the mountains and the sea drank, these martial artists have now become a means to imprison him.

Wouldn't that be better, though?

Living in the south of the Yangtze River is terrified and uneasy, and when he arrives in Bianjing, under the current hands of His Majesty, he can at least live for a long time.

Tong Guan turned around violently, he seemed to think of the way he had just entered the palace, straightened his waist, and walked out step by step.

As he walked on the road, he saw Zhao Ying hurriedly running towards Genyue Palace.

Tong Guan waited outside until Zhao Ying came out of Genyue Palace, hurriedly stepped forward, and stopped Zhao Ying.

"Ancestor." Zhao Ying saw that Tong Guan had stopped him, and hurriedly saluted.

Zhao Ying remembered that not long after he entered the palace, Tong Guan became the governor of the inner palace and became the ancestor of all the eunuchs in the palace.

Tong Guan hurriedly helped Zhao Ying up and said, "Now our family has lost momentum. Zhao Duzhi knows that if he shouts like this, others will misunderstand. ”

"Look at what the ancestor said, which of the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace doesn't remember the good of the ancestor?" Zhao Ying said with a haha.

Now that he is the ancestor of the palace, of course he knows it, and of course he will say kind words.

"The old ancestor stopped me to ask about Genyue Palace?" Zhao Ying looked back, a smile leaking from her face.

Tong Guan took out a piece of paper from his arms, put it in Zhao Ying's hand without a trace of fireworks, and said, "This emperor has just been sent in, and you have arrived on your hind feet, is something wrong?" ”

Zhao Ying glanced twice, saw that it was a Bianjing mansion, put it in his sleeve and said, "The ancestor asked, how could I not answer?" ”

"Nothing happened, the official family felt that it was not good for the teacher to be famous and indistinguishable with the emperor, so they canonized the teacher and the girl as the steward of the Genyue Palace, which was regarded as a female official, and she stayed in the palace and served the emperor."

Tong Guan breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was the case, and it should be done.

Otherwise, this unknown person has been kept in the palace, and he will leave a joke for the people.

"One more thing." Tong Guan handed a piece of paper in his hand to Zhao Ying, and said with a smile: "Please also ask Zhao Duzhi to give advice." ”

"Look at what the ancestors said. When the ancestor asked, I must know everything. There is no end to what to say. Zhao Yingmei took the paper with a smile, this is also a Bianjing house.

In the past, it was Zhao Ying who bribed Tong Guan, but now that it is the other way around, Zhao Ying accepted it happily.

"Zhao Duzhi, what did Li Dazai say when he persuaded the officials not to kill the emperor?" Tong Guan's bribery was completely to know whether Zhao Ji was really safe, even if he knew that he only said a few words, he could have a little thought in his heart.

Zhao Ying's face changed suddenly, and he returned the title deed in his sleeve to Tong Guan, and said coldly: "I don't know anything." ”

Zhao Ying was like smearing oil on the soles of his feet, spreading his feet and running, of course he knew about it, but he couldn't say a word about it.

He Zhao Ying is a little stupid and unfavorable, but he is not stupid enough to say anything and what he can't say. Obviously, Tong Guan has already received the letter, so he can't say a word from his mouth.

Tong Guan grabbed the title deed, caught up with Zhao Ying in three steps and two steps, grabbed Zhao Ying and said, "Zhao knows and walks slowly." ”

"Since it's a confidential matter, we won't ask, and we haven't finished saying it yet, so don't leave yet."

Zhao Ying is not Tong Guan, Tong Guan can do the supervision of the army, naturally he is good at martial arts, he can't compare, but he still insists on saying: "If the ancestor asks again, I can't say a word, just turn around and leave." ”

Tong Guan smiled and said, "I really don't ask!" When did I go back on my word? Is my childhood reputation already so stinky? ”

Zhao Ying stopped and looked at Tong Guan.

Tong Guan looked left and right and asked; "Is the official family okay with the palace people in the palace? Especially for us eunuchs who are not perfect, the official family may have raged and beaten violently? ”

Zhao Ying was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "How is it possible, how can the official family be such a person." The official family is known for its kindness, what are we eunuchs doing? ”

"I took a few eunuchs to Hedong Road, and they were recently promoted to the Little Yellow Gate, and there were also escorts. When I was on Hedong Road, the official family ate the same as our eunuchs, and there was no too tyrannical treatment of the palace people. The ancestors were too worried. ”

Zhao Ying knew what Tong Guan was worried about, he was called Tong Guan Old Ancestor, naturally because Tong Guan could afford this reputation.

There are many concubines in the palace, and the slightest carelessness is because of the internal fighting of the concubines, and they eat a meal of the board of the internal servants.

Tong Guan became an ancestor, and when he encountered this kind of thing, he would give peace to the eunuchs who entered the palace.

Of course, it is not a provincial board, but a means of a court staff that can be beaten with one hand but will not kill people.

They are servants, and servants are the ones who have received for their masters.

Zhao Ying's skills in playing the board were learned from Tong Guan.

"That's good." Tong Guan smiled with satisfaction, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stuffed the title deed in his hand into Zhao Ying's hand, and said, "You take it." ”

"Didn't you say that you wouldn't ask about the emperor! This is what to do. Zhao Ying asked with a sad face.

Tong Guan shook his head, took two steps back, slowly knelt down, and kowtowed to Zhao Ying. He kowtowed before saying: "Zhao Duzhi, you will be the ancestor of the palace people in the future, take care of everything, you are all poor people, who will enter the palace if there is a way?" ”

Zhao Ying saw Tong Guan kneeling, brushed it, kowtowed to Tong Guan, and said, "The old ancestor can't help it." ”

The two of them kowtowed to each other a few times, and Tong Guancai helped Zhao Ying, who was still kowtowing, and said: "The palace people, it's all handed over to you, treat them well." and the Emperor Taishang, please know everything to Zhao Du. ”

Zhao Ying nodded, Tong Guan really didn't ask about the emperor, turned his head to the front of Yanfu Palace, turned his head, and walked towards Dongye Gate.

He was very familiar with Bianjing, turned around, walked to the front of Dazaifu, and kowtowed to Li Gang three times at the door.

"Thank you Dazai for your kind words to the Emperor, thank you very much." After Tong Guan finished speaking, he stood up.

He dusted off the dirt on his knees, walked out of the city, found an inn outside the city at random, and stayed in it.

Tong Guan stayed in the room, looked at the direction of Bianjing City, shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "My life is worth it." A person with incomplete five bodies, who has been in the limelight for more than ten years, has fought in the south and the north, which can be regarded as a historical name. ”

"But in this history, I will never write a good word."

"Official, take care. Great Song, Yongchang. ”

After Tong Guan finished speaking, he kicked over the stool under his feet, the three-foot white silk stiffened violently, and Tong Guan had a long mouth. His eyes widened and he looked in the direction of Bianjing.

……

Zhao Ying returned to Wende Palace, put the two land deeds in front of Zhao Huan's case, and said: "Official, the minister met Tong Guan on the road just now, and he talked to the minister for a long time. ”

Zhao Ying told Tong Guan from beginning to end about meeting Tong Guan, without hiding a word.

Zhao Huan shook his head, this Tong Guan is really loyal to Zhao Ji.

However, when he saw the apprehension on Zhao Ying's face, he shook his head and said, "Even if Tong Guan dares to ask, it means that he can ask about it." You should have told him. When he came to Hanoi, he also missed Bianjing every day. ”

"Hanoi?" Zhao Ying was stunned.

Wasn't Tong Guan deposed to Yingzhou? Yingzhou is in Lingnan. Hanoi County, on the other hand, is at the foot of the Taihang Mountains. [Note 1]

Zhao Huan nodded, took out a holy decree and said: "I think that Han Shizhong guards the Shanhaiguan in Pingzhou, and Yue Fei will go to Beigukou to guard it, so that they can be horns of each other, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

"Do you remember Wang Yu's 3,000 victorious army?"

Zhao Ying nodded fiercely, the three thousand victorious troops left too much impression on him, it turned out that the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were so brave.

Since then, Zhao Ying has come to know the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty from a new perspective.

Zhao Huan nodded and said with a smile: "The military discipline of Tong Guan's army is not very good, but the provocative eye is still extremely accurate. When he arrived in Hanoi, the soldiers he had chosen must have been fine. ”

"Let him train for a while, and his team will do well. I think Tong Guan is still a little useful. He was demoted to the rank of deputy envoy of the moderation, as long as he was willing to do things. ”

"It's just that I'm with the wrong person, the emperor is not suitable to be the master."

Zhao Ying smiled and said, "That's it, then I'll catch up with Tong Guan and tell him about it." ”

"Why are you so happy! Originally, I planned to hand over this matter to you, look at you, dog meat is not on the table. Can it be done? ”

Of course, Zhao Huan knew that Tong Guan was not his confidant, he was the loyal dog leg of the Emperor Taishang.

But who doesn't let their dog's legs give up?

And now that he is holding the dog owner, he is not afraid that the dog will bite him.

"Contentment, contentment. Cook food for the official family, and serve the official family comfortably, that's enough. Zhao Ying smiled innocently, grabbed the holy decree on the table, and ran away.

Zhao Huan shook his head with a smile, looked at the direction of Genyue Palace for a while, and continued to review the notebook, it was an eventful time, even if Dazai was capable, he had to deal with the big things himself.

He felt that if he had the skill of internal affairs, he would be very proficient now.

"Official, official, no, Tong Guan hanged himself in an inn outside the city!" A small eunuch suddenly ran in and shouted loudly.

Is this a preference to die rather than be used by me?

Zhao Huan frowned and threw the zag in his hand in front of the emperor.
