"Congratulations to Brother Zhou, it's done. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Seeing that the corners of Zhou's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, Yang Ke greeted him and teased Zhou, who had just entered the door.

Zhou waved his hand: "Thanks to Hou Ye's clever plan, he doesn't dare to be greedy for the merits of the sky, as Hou Ye expected, Zhao Lian came to the door today to hand over the table." ”

"This kind of villain, not only is Sima Tong's dog's leg, he has also done a lot of things to fill his own pockets by fishing in troubled waters, a small palace housekeeper has become a huge rich, as long as the private account is handed over to Sima Tong, Zhao Lianke will die and have no place to be buried, except to hug Brother Zhou's thigh, what else can he do?" Yang Ke smiled faintly: "It's just that the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, for this Zhao Lian, Brother Zhou has to beware of one or two." ”

"A villain, don't worry, it's just that we have to fight this ring with Sima Tong next, even if we take the ironclad evidence of his private circle of people's land, illegal expansion of troops, smuggling of ironware, and hoarding of military funds, if he carries it to the end, the lower officials really haven't figured out how to tear this face." The excitement around me was very high, and when I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel worried.

"Brother Zhou's concerns, I know, are you worried about forcing Sima Tong back?"

Zhou nodded: "Sima Tong is the vassal king after all, although the lower officials have the responsibility of supervision, but they have no right to dispose of it, except to transfer the case to Kyoto, there is no other way, if he smells the wind and grass, he knows that he will die, but he is afraid that he will go all the way to the dark, which is also the most taboo place for the lower officials." ”

Yang Ke smiled faintly: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, as long as he hands over the military power and returns the enclosure, the court will only support him for his heavenly years, and will not force him to a dead end, you just need to stabilize Zhao Lian, within three days, I have my own way to make Sima Tong obedient." ”

"I don't know if Master Hou will come out?" Zhou is still a little worried, after all, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Sima Tong's command, if he really turns against him, this movement is not trivial, and he will really break the jar.

"Brother Zhou, please wait and see, you just need to stabilize Zhao Lian."

"This is not a problem, if we don't find out, Zhao Lian can't take the initiative to ask Sima Tong for his guilt, and besides, I have already accepted Zhao Lian's generous gift, just to calm his heart."

Yang Ke had an idea, and suddenly smiled: "Brother Zhou, you might as well go and knock on Zhao Lian's bamboo bar today." ”

Zhou couldn't help but be stunned: "Go knock on Zhao Lian's bamboo pole again?" After thinking about it, he would come to his senses, and laughed and said: "Master Hou's clever plan, not bad, the harder the bamboo pole is knocked at this time, the more relieved and happy Zhao Lian is." ”

"That's exactly what I mean, so this condition, you might as well talk slowly, talk about him for ten days and a half months, don't worry, don't worry."

"You bastard everywhere, Lao Tzu can see through it, what a fucking two-sleeved breeze, what fucking loyal and patriotic, it's all nonsense, it's not a corrupt official, a villain who fell into a well, half of Lao Tzu's family property was given to him, this bastard still has to inch in, and his greed is insufficient." Zhao Lian was furious, pointing to the sky and scolding the surroundings, the teacup on the table fell to the ground, and the subordinates around him trembled and were silent.

"Master, don't be angry, isn't it a good thing that you are not greedy enough to ask for a bribe this week?" Zhao Lian's closest steward cautiously persuaded.

"Lao Tzu is about to go bankrupt, or is it a fucking good thing?" Zhao Lian was furious.

The steward accompanied the smiling face: "Master, think about it carefully, the more lions open their mouths around, the more it means that you are safe, sir, right?" After receiving the lord's gift, he will naturally keep his mouth shut, the lord should be most worried about now is not to break the wealth, but how to hide it from the eyes and ears of the prince, right? As long as this level is passed, it is nothing more than the loss of the embankment and the compensation of the embankment, and the wool is out of the sheep, as long as the position of the steward of the palace is kept, the money given to the surrounding area can naturally be earned back? And after buying off the Zhou Division, in Xuzhou Mansion in the future, won't you be able to cover the sky with one hand, sir? ”

After listening to the steward's words, Zhao Lian thought about it carefully, turned his anger into joy, and patted the steward's shoulder: "It makes sense, it makes sense, it seems that your kid still has a little knowledge." After speaking, he turned his head and shouted to the subordinates who were waiting outside the door: "Come on, the pen and ink are waiting, and Lao Tzu must prepare a gift list." ”

Sima Tong frowned and asked: "Since the death of the first emperor, the imperial court has not been hunting for a long time, why do you suddenly have to mobilize the people to do hunting this year?" ”

"Lord Yu, hunting has existed in ancient times, and the Xia Shang Dynasty trained the army in the form of field hunting and patrolling of the princes. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it became a common practice, and there were military training and proofreading throughout the year. According to "Zhou Li? According to the Great Sima, the training regulations are divided into four seasons, and each season is divided into two parts, the first half is the ceremony of coaching and review, and the second half is the ceremony of field hunting exercises. And the hunting on the occasion of mid-spring is called Zhen Brigade, the will of the imperial court put forward two purposes, one is to train soldiers, the other is to deter the border pass, the day after tomorrow will pass through Xuzhou Mansion, according to etiquette, the prince should lead Xuzhou Mansion to lead a civil and military officer out of the city to work army. Zhou said respectfully.

"Do you need this king to prepare anything for the army?" Sima Tong asked.

Zhou said: "The prince does not have to worry, the first emperor set a rule in Japan, the army patrol is equipped with its own military funds, and it is not allowed to disturb the local and the people, this patrol is also through Xuzhou City without entering, and the official will prepare the items required for the ceremony, and the prince only needs to go out of the city to lead the team to greet it." ”

As soon as he heard that he didn't need to break his fortune, Sima Tong's heart was half relieved, and he pondered for a moment and asked, "Who is the commander of the army on this patrol?" ”

"It's Wen Yang Wenhou."

Sima Tong nodded: "Wen Hou is also an old minister of the first emperor, he is highly respected, and he is a famous general of our dynasty, and Xiao Wang has also admired him for a long time, so let's go and greet him." ”

"In this case, the lower officials are now retiring, and the next day after tomorrow, the lower officials will come to greet the prince and go out of the city to work together." After speaking, Zhou Chu took his leave and left.

Looking at the distant back of Zhou Zhi, Sima Tong thought thoughtfully, and after pondering for a long time, he asked Zhao Liandao, who was standing on the side, "Have you received any unusual news recently?" ”

The vassal king has his own people in Luoyang, Kyoto, either as merchants or officials, for the purpose of finding out the latest trends in the court, so that the vassal king can understand the dynamics of the court as soon as possible, and the various sentinels arranged by Sima Tong in Luoyang are all commanded and dispatched by Zhao Lianzai, and he reported any news to Sima Tong as soon as possible, so he asked this question.

"Lord, the news from Kyoto was sent early this morning, and as Zhou said, the imperial court is to train the army and deter the border passes, and there is nothing abnormal." Zhao Lian replied respectfully, in front of Sima Tong, he always had a cautious and loyal expression.

"There's been no change in the neighborhood lately, has it? Are you still fighting against this king everywhere? Sima Tong asked suddenly.

Zhao Lian had a ghost at this moment: "Don't worry, the prince is not as bad as the outside world rumored, and he is not a corrupt official, he has already made a bid recently, and the villain is about to report to the prince." ”

Sima Tong listened to it and laughed proudly: "This thing is done well, I'm not afraid that he won't open his mouth, I'm afraid that he won't be invulnerable, soft and hard, and he will give him as much as he wants. ”

Zhao Lian hated to fight with himself at this moment, the money he bribed Zhou immediately landed now, and he could also ask for credit in front of his master, it was really killing two birds with one stone, what he never dreamed of was that it was his own little abacus that misled Sima Tong's judgment, and even sent himself into the ghost gate.
