Chapter 598: Tong Guan's hesitation

"What a princess of the Xia people, what a bullshit Raush son of Leshanhou, let them get out of the way quickly, don't get in the way of Ben Shuai!"

Just been assassinated by the Xixia people, at this moment Tong Guan held a bad breath in his heart, and heard the soldier come to report that there was a chariot guard of honor of the princess of the Xia people in front of him arguing with him, and the soldier's words were just halfway through, and immediately interrupted the soldier's report, and roared angrily.

After speaking, Tong Guan still didn't understand the hatred in his heart, and scolded unwillingly: "When Ben Shuai returns to the house, I will make this matter clear to Your Majesty, and if you don't send troops to Japan, you will definitely calm the party with a drum, and solve the hatred in Ben Shuai's heart......"

The car he was riding in before had been damaged, and for fear that the assassin would shoot a cold arrow and assassinate him again, Tong Guan did not ride a horse but changed to a carriage, and the master was also under the protection of heavy guards, and followed Tong Guan's car closer.

"Women and children are competing with the king's teacher, this is a good sign for Tong Shuai!" After Tong Guan's angry roar fell, the planter next to him said, and said: "The Xia thief has repeatedly caused trouble at the border this time, which is really intolerable, and this time he sent someone to assassinate Tong Shuai, which is really self-defeating!" ”

"What the shuai said is very true, the barbarian women and children are arguing with Tong Shuai, which is really a good sign for Tong Shuai." Dong Yun, a staff member who was with Tong Guan, also said.

Tong Guan had naturally heard of the allusion between the women and children and the king's teacher, nodded but didn't speak, and suddenly became puzzled: "Why did this Xia princess get to Weizhou City?" Who is this Leshan Hou? ”

Dong Yun hurriedly said on the side: "Dashuai must have forgotten, the news from the Xia Kingdom a few days ago that Lotte married the princess of the Xia people in this dynasty, and was named the Marquis ......of Leshan by the lord of the Xia Kingdom."

"It turned out to be the scourge!" Tong Guan immediately raised his eyebrows, and said reluctantly: "What is this scourge doing when you don't come back to Weizhou City in Biandu?" ”

Dong Yun, a staff member next to him, replied: "Weizhou City is the only way for Xia Kingdom to lead to Biandu, and besides, Lord Nale also has to take into account the etiquette of officialdom, and he wants to come to Weizhou to meet Tong Shuai and Chong Shuai!" ”

"It's better if the scourge isn't there!" Tong Guan snorted coldly.

Every time Lotte appeared, Tong Guan's luck was not very good, not only Tong Guan thought so in his heart, but also the guards and entourage who followed Tong Guan thought so in their hearts.

The previous time was the defeat of Tong'an City and several great victories between the Zhenwu Army and Zhuo Luocheng, this defeat and several victories were not good news for Tong Guan, and even caused His Majesty's dissatisfaction, although the defeat of Tong'an City was passed on to Liu Fa by Tong Guan, although Liu Fa had the responsibility to send troops in advance, but Tong Guan's battle plan was more negligent, which is a well-known fact but no one dared to say.

As for the several victories of Zhenwujun, Gai Zhuwei and Zhuo Luocheng later, they have nothing to do with Tong Guan's money, but Liu Fa and Lotte reacted to the situation due to different situations, which set off the incompetence of Tong Guan and the officials of the Privy Council.

Even Tong Guan's trip to the northwest this time was also to respond to Lotte's trip to Western Xia; Otherwise, there would not have been this assassination, and what is even more infuriating is that this side has just survived the assassination and was met by Lotte.

For Tong Guan, Lotte is his own disaster.

"Report ...... Dashuai, the princess of the Xia people moved to the side! At this time, the soldier in front of him came to report again.

"Get out of the way......" Tong Guan narrowed his eyes, his face expressionless.

The soldier continued to report: "The Zhongshu Sheren Renle on the opposite side heard that the marshal was assassinated and injured, and asked the little one to tell the marshal, and when the marshal returns to the marshal's mansion, he will personally visit him!" ”

"Go back to the house......" Tong Guan was noncommittal about the report, but just snorted coldly.

……

"Why did you let this palace make way for that minion?" Princess Lando, who was sitting in the car, had a face full of anger, and stared at the opposite team viciously and said angrily: "The eunuch servant, in the final analysis, is just a domestic slave in the Son of Heaven's family, where is there such a big pomp? ”

The nurse next to her, Mu Yi, comforted: "Your Royal Highness, don't be angry, the concubine is deeply forbidden in the Great Song Dynasty, and I have heard of this person, this Tong Guan is not an ordinary eunuch in the Great Song Dynasty, this person has been in charge of the army in the northwest for many years and confronted my Great Xia, and in the Great Song Dynasty, he is even ......more powerful."

Princess Lando snorted: "The Southern Dynasty is ruled by a eunuch, either there is no one in the Southern Dynasty, or the Southern Dynasty is dying!" ”

"Your Highness is cautious!" The frightened nurse Mu Yi almost covered Princess Lando's mouth with her hand, and then said in a low voice: "Your Highness, now that you are married into the Great Song Dynasty, Your Highness should be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't cause any trouble with the horse master......"

……

Standing on the side of the road, Lotte clasped his fists with both hands, looked at Tong Guan and Seed Master Dao who passed by, and said: "Lotte is a scholar in Xiaguanzhong, and I have seen Tong Shuai and Seed Shuai, two old adults......"

Out of officialdom etiquette, Tong Guan and Seed Master Dao naturally couldn't help but return the salute, Tong Guan's carriage stopped, and Seed Master Dao also restrained the horses.

At this moment, Tong Guan is not only injured on his head, but also has a blue nose and swollen face, his image is really indecent, Tong Guan, who is dissatisfied with Lotte, naturally doesn't want Lotte to see his inverted lintel look, and said with a smile through the car curtain: "Ben Shuai congratulates Lord Le......"

"Rejoice and rejoice!" Lotte smiled, and then smiled: "When Tong Shuai returns to the house and settles down, the next official will go to see the big handsome!" ”

"Excuse me, this official has been very unwell recently!" Tong Guan refused in the car very shamelessly, and continued: "Lord Le, let's bring the princess of Xia Guo back to Biandu as soon as possible and report the good news to Your Majesty!" ”

Lotte said with a smile: "Tong Shuai is not feeling well, and the lower officials naturally want to visit the meeting!" ”

Hearing Lotte speak like this, Dong Yun, who was following the car as he approached, arched his hand to Lotte and said with a smile: "My handsome family is inconvenient to see guests, so don't disturb Lord Le!" ”

In anyone's eyes, Tong Guan's treatment of Lotte like this is quite a slap in the face.

At this time, Lotte was still smiling, bowed down and smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Tong Shuai won't blame the lower officials for being rude!" ”

According to the rules of officialdom, Shangguan's refusal is just a formal courtesy, even if it is a slap in the face of Shangguan, the lower official must smile and greet him; However, this Lord Le is interesting, Shangguan said that if you don't let you go, you won't let you go, but it really won't go, many people have speculated in their hearts that this Lord Le is a new officialdom Leng Touqing or he is lucky to have the favor of the Son of Heaven, and he does not take Tong Guan, the king of the northwest, in his eyes.

At this moment, don't say that it is the guards next to Tong Guan, even the irrelevant officials and generals of Jingyuan Road also know that Lotte and Tong Guan are not compatible. Soon these people's hearts began to make difficulties, it stands to reason that this Le Da saint is in his body, and he married the princess of Xiaren, although it has nothing to do with it, but he also wants to climb some incense to make friends, but the relationship between Lotte and Tong Guan is stiff like this, which is really embarrassing.

Listening to Lotte's release, Tong Guan in the car snorted coldly, and urged the coachman to go home.

"Congratulations on the book!" Tong Guan's car was gone, and the seed master was still on the horse, and smiled at Lotte: "On the day of the wedding in Biandu, although Ben Shuai is entangled in official business in the northwest and it is inconvenient to leave, he will send a son and nephew to come to the door to congratulate!" ”

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and the handsome can't come in person on the day of the official's wedding, so you might as well drink this wine in advance!" Lotte smiled, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the car behind him, and said: "This time I returned from the Xia Realm, although I was in danger, but it was also a thrill, and there was still the imperial wine given by the lord of Xia Guo in this car. ”

"Wow...... "The farmer laughed: "Ben Shuai has been fighting in the northwest for many years, and he has captured countless Xia people's wines and drunk countless people, and today I want to taste the difference between this Xia country's imperial wine and other drinks in Xia country!" ”

Lotte arched his hand and smiled: "After the lower official settles down in the post house today, he will go to meet the boss!" ”

**************************

In today's assassination incident, Tong Guan only suffered some skin injuries, and after arriving at the government office, Lang Zhong came to treat Tong Guan. Just simply cleaned and bandaged Tong Guan's wounds.

Although there was no major problem, Tong Guan could not go out for a few days, and at this time his face was already swollen, and the bruises on his eye sockets became more and more obvious.

"The offensive launched in April this year has completely captured the land of Hengshan, and the southern border of the Xia Kingdom has no danger to defend, and there are not many available troops in the campaign over the years, and even if my Great Song Dynasty exerts a little effort, it is not far from the country of death, otherwise I will not be in a hurry to negotiate peace with my Great Song Dynasty." Tong Guan was served by the little eunuch, lying on the couch and said as if talking to himself.

When he said this, Tong Guan looked at Dong Yun who was standing next to the couch and asked, "You say, Xia Guo has reached this point, what is the purpose of sending someone to assassinate Ben Shuai?" ”

Dong Yun was Tong Guan's first staff, and he was also bowing his head and pondering at the moment, and only replied after a long time: "The Xia people and I have been discussing peace with the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, but because the attitude of the imperial court is too tough and the conditions put forward are too harsh, it is fruitless......

After listening to Dong Yun's words, Tong Guan said angrily: "I can't make peace with Xia Ren, I don't blame Nale Xiao'er, if it weren't for Nale Xiaoer's conditions being too harsh, how could the meeting not be peaceful......"

His face was bruised and swollen, and because he spoke too hard, Tong Guan pulled the scars on his face, and couldn't help grinning in pain.

"Tong Shuai has nothing to do," Dong Yun said with concern......

Waving his hand to show that he was okay, Tong Guan said, "You go on!" ”

Dong Yun continued: "Le Zhongshu is the person with the toughest attitude in the negotiation of peace, and even the most stringent peace conditions are proposed by Le Zhongshu, so Xia Cai will find a way to let Le Zhongshu marry the princess of the Xia people, and even spend a lot of money to buy the members of the court and the central government for this!" ”

Tong Guanquan leans towards the government and the opposition, and naturally knows a lot of things, not to mention that Tong Guan has also received gifts from Xia Ren, and is one of the active promoters of the marriage between Lotte and Princess Lando, so he does not hide this matter from his subordinates.

Dong Yun analyzed: "I have been fighting with the Xia people for more than 20 years, in the past, it was to reach a peace agreement, and soon it was torn up, and now the peace has not been reached for a long time, the Xia people will think that our dynasty is waiting for the opportunity, and sooner or later it will launch a war against Xia to destroy the country, and for a long time, the commander has been in charge of the northwest border affairs, commanding and coordinating the troops and horses of the six roads in the northwest, so the Xia people resorted to despicable tricks and wanted to put the adults to death!" ”

Tong Guan snorted: "Even if Ben Shuai is dead, can't he beat this Xia Kingdom?" ”

"The handsome is the pillar of the country, and he can be arrogant!" Dong Yun patted the horse and said, and then carefully analyzed: "The six roads in the northwest, the five roads are all military generals, all of them are supported by the handsome, but they are not harmonious with each other, if there is no adult to coordinate and command, although the five road marshals are fierce, it is inevitable that they will follow the path of the five roads of the Shenzong Dynasty, but they may not be able to Naxia people!" ”

"Back then, Shenzong Dynasty had the defeat of Yongle City in my Great Song Dynasty, Xu Xi and Chong Ge had always been at odds, and the Xia people besieged Yongle City, if Chong Ge sent troops to rescue him, the ending would be different!" Dong Yun's analysis was reasonable, and the sycophants were also in place, Tong Guan couldn't help but be complacent, nodded and then asked: "My Great Song Dynasty is now strong and strong, do you say that Ben Shuai will attack Liao or Xia first?" ”
