A side house in the Forbidden City. [No pop-up novel network]

"Dad, Grandpa Zhang asked me to bring you a message, he wants to see you......"

"Grandpa Zhang? Which Father-in-law? ”

"Dad, have you forgotten? It's Zhang Yong and Zhang's father-in-law! ”

"Zhang Yong?" Liu Jin spewed out a breath of cold air from his nose and said disdainfully: "A rough eunuch who does miscellaneous labor, can he still be regarded as a father-in-law?" Phew! Have you taken his money? Otherwise, how could he think of speaking for him? ”

"Dad, look at what you said, is your son like that?" Liu Xiaowen first denied it, but when he saw Liu Jin's face turn grim, he changed his words and said: "Actually, I didn't confiscate much, it's just fifty taels......

"Fifty taels!?"

Liu Jin's voice was raised a lot, and the sharp voice came out far away, scaring the little eunuch half to death, and knelt down with a 'poof', kowtowing again and again: "Dad, it's really only fifty taels, he only said that he would see you in the palace, and his son really didn't do anything to be sorry for you, you see, the silver is still here." ”

As he spoke, he groped for two silver ingots in his arms, held them with both hands, and handed them to Liu Jin with a little reluctance.

"Look at your income, it's only fifty taels, will our family be greedy for your money? Collect it. ”

Impatiently waved his hand twice, Liu Jin suddenly felt a little sad, this is his Liu Jin's godson, and now he is actually sad to be like this for fifty taels, think about the scenery two years ago, this world is really impermanent.

"Next time you don't have any money, come to our family to ask for it, don't accept other people's money indiscriminately, others will be fine, but can Zhang Yong's silver also be collected indiscriminately? That guy has been hooking up with the foreign court, and the last thing he wants to see is him, can it be better to have a relationship with him? ”

Liu Jin said to himself, as if he was admonishing his godson, but also as if he was dissuading himself, "Fifty taels, if it was before, it would be nothing, but with Zhang Yong now, hum, can he take it?" Maybe it's those old men who want to get up some moths in the foreign court, trying to pull our family into the water, hum, no way! ”

"Dad, just to listen, it's nothing." Hearing the looseness in Liu Jin's tone, Liu Xiaowen hurriedly persuaded: "No matter who sent him, if someone comes forward to deal with that person, it is always a good thing, if it weren't for that person, how could we be so embarrassed now?" If Zhang Yong's method can work, let's do him a little favor, if it doesn't work, you just don't hear it. ”

"You fool, you say it lightly, but how can that man be easy to deal with?"

Liu Jin had a gloomy old face and scolded viciously: "When I was in Xuanfu, our family was so much stronger than him, but we couldn't clean him up, and I missed the opportunity, what can I do now?" It's a shame that you still have the face to say this, if you weren't too wasteful, would our family have ended up today? ”

"Dad, my son is sorry for you!"

Liu Xiaowen used both hands and feet, climbed two steps forward, saved Liu Jin's legs, and cried: "If it weren't for the uselessness of my son, how could that person see the Long Live Lord and become the climate?" To this day, even the junior who is more wasteful than his son has climbed on your head, showing off his power in front of you, and giving you anger? Son, I'm sorry for you! ”

"Alas!"

was poked in the sad place, Liu Jin also sighed: "This is all fate, whether it is our family or the ministers of the foreign court, they can't fight that person!" Wang Yue was so majestic back then, but in the hands of that man, the one who died was called miserable; Liu Jian and Xie Qian, how indispensable were those people back then? What now? It's better to live than to die! ”

He sighed and shook his head: "Our family is considered to have seen things quickly, so we avoided his edge, but it still fell into such a field as it is now, let alone him, even if it is Gu Dayong and the third father-in-law, our family can't afford to provoke it now." Xiaowen, this is fate, our fate is not good, let's live one day at a time. ”

"Dad, my son knows, after that person entered Beijing, you let him be in front of him in order to avoid the limelight of the foreign dynasty, but now the foreign dynasty is no longer a problem, Gu Dayong Those people are all echo worms attached to that person, and he has no opinions and skills, if he can get rid of him, except for you, who can replace him?"

"Except? What to take? Could it be that Zhang Yong told you something? Liu Xiaowen was unusual, persuading again and again, Liu Jin was also aware of it, he picked up the little eunuch, gritted his teeth and asked.

He didn't say the specifics, but his son looked at him and seemed to be a little sure, he said, if you help, the certainty will be even greater."

"Really?" Liu Jin's voice trembled a little, the words of the little eunuch hit his vital point, the unwillingness of the current situation, the helplessness of the former opponent salted fish to turn over, and the scenery that he would get after removing the biggest obstacle were all haunting his dreams.

However, the cautious habits he had developed in the past two years allowed him to keep his calm and not be carried away, and he shook his head categorically:

"No, so many times, which time is not full of foreign courts? But except for the time when he was forced to leave Beijing, all of them failed, and then suffered heavy losses...... Well, they are scholars and are not afraid of death, but our family is a eunuch, and our family is afraid of death. He stamped his foot and got up to walk out.

"But Dad, just go and listen!"

Liu Xiaowen was anxious, and howled hoarsely: "If you don't want to find a way, your life will be like this, although you are stronger than Zhang Yong and Gao Feng, you are destined to have no future!" Besides, think about it, with your current power, ahem, if anything, what can you do? You can't do anything, you can't even touch the food of the Long Live Lord......"

“……”

Liu Jin stood dumbfounded, silent for a long time, and then opened his mouth, but his voice was a little bitter and hoarse, "You go on......"

"You won't do it, and you can't do it, at most, you can provide some news to people, or pass a word in front of Long Live Lord......" Liu Xiaowen's words became more and more tempting.

"Think about it, Zhang Yongdang said that he cooperated with Wang Yue so much, and made a mess of the Long Live Lord's bedroom, but the result was not good, Long Live Lord regained the old feelings, and that person also took care of this before letting Zhang Yong and you go, otherwise we might have ...... a long time ago."

"Okay, don't say it anymore, let's go to our house, but we have to hear what Zhang Yong can say......" Liu Jin waved his hand resolutely and made up his mind.

"Dad, let's hurry over then." Liu Xiaowen was overjoyed, of course he persuaded each other so hard not for Zhang Yong's silver, he and Liu Jin were one and the same, if Liu Jin regained his power, he would naturally rise.

Liu Jin is now in his fifties, and in the past two years, he has suffered setbacks, and his utilitarianism has become a lot weaker, but Liu Xiaowen is still young, and of course he doesn't want to be as immortal as he is now.

Nowadays, the silver in and out of the palace is calculated in 10,000 taels, but Liu Jin, the governor of the East Factory, can only watch. It's no wonder that the current Dongchang Gate is full of birds, and the original people either went to the Imperial Horse Prison or voted for the Jinyi Guard, and there is only one name left.

Looking at the red and red outside, Liu Xiaowen's eyes were red and he was anxious, if he hadn't saved a trace of reason, he would have even wanted to make a move. Now that he has the opportunity of Zhang Yong, how can he let it go?

In the face of opportunities, you always have to fight, don't you? He clenched his fists secretly.

"What's the hurry, wait a minute, you go and tell Zhang Yong, let him go to the old place in the back mountain, you just have to say, he knows ......"

"Dad, you are really a person who does great things, and this caution alone cannot be compared to others."

"Get out of you little, what kind of sycophants are you shooting at this time? You go first, let's change our clothes first, and we'll be there later. Liu Jin waved his hand impatiently and scolded with a smile.

"Dad, you wait and see."

Liu Xiaowen left happily, but Liu Jin didn't move for a long time, his face was gloomy, his eyes kept changing, and after a long time, he let out a long breath, and his eyes became cold.

"Hmph, then take a gamble and see, if it really happens, then one step to the sky, if not, I think I can leave an old life."

…… Outside the Xuanwu Gate, a corner of Long Live Mountain.

After many years, the two great eunuchs who had been listed with the Eight Tigers got together again. In the previous life, they were opposites, and they are still in this life, but time has passed, but the identities and positions of the two have been completely different.

"Lao Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's always good?" Zhang Yong took the lead in greeting, after all, he took the initiative to invite the other party, and it was still appropriate to do his best to be the host.

"Hey, if our family is good, can you still not know?" Liu Jin didn't buy it, and said with a smile: "Zhang Yong, our family has come, and there is no one else here, you can get out of your mouth and into the ears of our family, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Lao Liu, do you still suspect that our family will not be able to cheat? Dragging you into the water, what's the benefit to our family, your suspicion is really too serious. Zhang Yongyi stretched out his hands and sighed.

"Don't talk nonsense, our family still has a job later, if you just want to talk about the past, our family doesn't have time to listen, if you don't say it, then our family will leave." Liu Jin's face was still tense, but his heart was a lot more relaxed, before he came, he had also doubted Zhang Yong's intentions, but if you think about it carefully, at this time, Zhang Yong really has no need to frame him, after all, Xie Hong is the protagonist.

"Lao Liu, I was all a little brother at the beginning, I read a few books, and I thought I was right, so I ...... with you Well, now is not the time to say this, let's talk about the apology later. Today, my little brother asked you to come, but it was for that man......"

Zhang Yong's posture was very low, so that the resentment in Liu Jin's heart disappeared, and when he poked his finger to the northeast, Liu Jin's heart was cold again.

"It's easy to talk about things before, but you say that man ......"

Liu Jin groaned slightly, opened his eyes to the left and right a few times, and then said: "I think you should also know, that person's holy family is boundless, Long Live Lord obeys his words, and now he has mastered the military power of the three towns, which is not something that people like you and me can look up to at all, so are you still sure?" ”

"Open the skylight and say something bright, Lao Liu, you should also know that it is not me who is causing trouble, but the outside." Zhang Yong did not answer Liu Jin's question directly, but directly showed the backstage.

"What's going on out there? I've fought with that person so many times, and I haven't seen them get anything good, and now Xie Hong's power is too much bigger than last year, what do they use to turn the tables? Liu Jin has always had a good impression of the foreign court, and at this time he sneered at it.

"Yes, he is now in power, in the limelight, in Liaodong, his prestige even overshadowed the emperor, Lao Liu, you have also been in the palace for many years, don't you think there is a problem here?" Zhang Yong nodded and asked rhetorically.

"You want to say that the merit is high, right?" Liu Jin smiled and said: "It's useless, with his holy family, Long Live Lord will not be suspicious because of such a little thing, besides, you are also an old man serving in the East Palace, don't you know the surname of Banzai today?" How could he have any imperial thoughts? ”

"That's not easy to say, in the past, Long Live Lord was still young, so he was naturally a little naïve and romantic, but now that he is getting older, he often sees it, and he is also majestic, and his surname will change somewhat, right?"

"Even if there were, it wouldn't get to that point." Liu Jin shook his head like a drum, completely disagreeing.

"Lao Liu, you may not know it, but now it has spread outside, and it is said everywhere that Xie Hong invites the favor of heaven, and he is a sage who appears once in a thousand years, just like Emperor Taizu!" Although it is a highly praised word, it can come out of Zhang Yong's mouth, but it is like a night owl crying sadly.

"How is that possible? Hou Defang was obviously talking ......" Liu Jin was surprised, halfway through his words, when he saw Zhang Yong's face, he suddenly said: "Could it be ...... But how could those adults from the outside world be? ”

"What's impossible? Compared with letting him continue to create evil and harm the Ming Dynasty, what is it to just praise him for a few words? ”

Zhang Yong sneered: "His most powerful thing is the Holy Family, if the emperor hadn't been supporting him, he wouldn't have been able to have such a big momentum today, but it doesn't matter, since he has the ability, let's hold him to the sky and see if he will die when he falls?" ”

“…… Probably still not. After a long silence, Liu Jin suddenly shook his head. He understood the strategy of the foreign court, but he didn't think it would have the effect he imagined.

"Of course not, if it does, how can I be asked to find a way out there? How can I find you, Lao Liu? No one is stupid, Zhang Yong smiled, showing that he was not blindly optimistic.

"What can we do? Deliver a message to the emperor? Don't be stupid, even if you don't have the opportunity to drive with you, you should know, right? Our family is not a character at all now, and there is no opportunity to accompany him alone, which is the privilege of the third father-in-law, father-in-law Gu, and father-in-law Ma. Liu Jin gritted his teeth and said.

"What's the use of handing over? Do you think Long Live Lord will not know about the limelight outside? Not to mention anything else, our family knows that Xie Hong on the Jinyi Wei side did not interfere at all, it was completely in Qian Ning's hands, and the emperor was sober. ”

"That's ......" Liu Jin was at a loss.

"When the emperor went to Xuanfu, and then bowed to Xie Hong within a few days, is this true?" Zhang Yong suddenly brought up a seemingly unrelated matter.

The nightmare of "Yes ......" officially began on that day, and every time I think of it, Liu Jin's heart is dripping blood.

"Do you know why?" Zhang Yong's breathing was also a little short, obviously very concerned.

"Where do I know, don't talk about me, even Gu Fatzi has been kicked out, who knows what they said." Liu Jin's mood was extremely low, and the reason for the start of the nightmare was also a problem that had plagued him for two years.

"You think about the cause and effect carefully...... Zhang Yong didn't urge, just guided the other party with his heart.

"That day ......" Liu Jin knew that Zhang Yong must have good intentions, so he muttered while thinking about it attentively.

"There you have it, this is it." After listening for a while, Zhang Yong suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Which one?" Liu Jin was stunned.

"Woman! It must have something to do with women! ”

Zhang Yong said excitedly: "Lao Liu, think about it, that day you designed Yang Rebel to appear, and then hinted at the matter of the Long Live Lord's woman, and then they ...... A few of us grew up serving the Long Live Lord, if it's something for fun, we can have a score somewhat, but is this woman...... Therefore, Xie Hong's holy family must be related to women. ”

"Hearing you say that, it seems to be the same thing." Liu Jin's eyes also began to shine: "In other words, both inside and outside the palace?" ”

"Yes, the momentum outside is already high, and the emperor can hear a little bit of it...... Next, as long as you find the reason and plan to let the Long Live Lord have a gap with him, you can directly convict him of rebellion and make him irreversible! ”

"Okay, then let's go back and think about it, and we'll meet again in a few days."

"It's a deal."

…… The two eunuchs left in a hurry, and after nearly a quarter of an hour, a person suddenly turned out from behind the rocks that should have been empty.

This person is also a eunuch, looking at the direction where the two left, he smiled and whispered: "Liu Jin, who killed a thousand knives, is really restless again, and he actually killed himself, the third father-in-law asked me to stare at him Sure enough, it is not wrong to make this contribution, and now we will become father-in-law, haha." ”

The shrill voice could not hide the joy, and before the words fell, the man had already wiped his body and disappeared into the vast night, and the silence was restored again under the long live mountain.
