As soon as Tong Guan arrived in Luoyang, he heard that Wen Yanbo and Han Gang staged a peace show...... In other words, it was a smile and a grudge against each other - it didn't seem appropriate - anyway, it was a good story like this, and the rumors that were unfavorable to Wen Yanbo before seemed to have disappeared all at once.

Tong Guan was faintly annoyed. He was burdened with two imperial orders, light and dark, and he didn't dare to delay along the way, and went straight to Luoyang when he came out of Tokyo City. When he entered Luoyang City, there were still five days before Zheng Guogong's birthday.

He came here so hard because he wanted to do this errand beautifully, to please him and praise him in front of the Son of Heaven, but since the two sides have made peace now, then the Son of Heaven is unwilling to exhaustively investigate who is right and who is wrong-

- The incompatibility of the two families is by no means good news for the Son of Heaven, Tong Guan estimates that the current official family in the Funing Palace is dreaming that Wen and Han can get along in harmony. It's just that the previous situation didn't seem to be in harmony, so he had to send him Tong Guan out to investigate the matter and report it back to Jingzhong so that he could deal with it.

'How can it be so fast?' Tong Guan wondered that Han Gang's matter was too weak, and it should be delayed for a few more days. Why rush to the Henan Mansion, wouldn't it be good to let Wen Yanbo suffer for a few more days? After he Tong Guan inquired about this matter and reported back to the Son of Heaven, it would not be too late to go......

Tong Guan's mind is full of selfishness, but he won't be stupid enough to show it. nodded and praised: "Wen Xianggong and Han Longtu really still have a belly, and it is a good story to be able to release their previous suspicions...... He then asked the place where he was secretly summoned to report to the post house to bear Zuo Feng, "What does the market say about this?" ”

Zuo Feng lowered his head and replied, although his official quality was not lower than Tong Guan, but Tong Guan was in the Chongzheng Palace, and now he is also here on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and he Zuo Feng is outside the imperial city as the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, the gap is really a little far, "No one said that Wen Xianggong was not, that is, the officials of the Henan Mansion did not come out to greet him before, and it was also said that the subordinate officials in the government misunderstood Wen Xianggong's intentions." But some people also said that Han Longtu had to come to the door to ask for guilt in order to prevent Henan Prefecture from pulling back his legs during the construction of the construction service. ”

"Guilty of pleading?" Tong Guan's eyes suddenly froze, and he asked sharply, "...... Who said this. ”

Zuo Feng didn't know how many rumors with different biases he heard: "There are many people outside who are talking about it. Wen Xianggong had the intention of embarrassing Han Longtu. didn't go out of the city to greet him, not because the subordinates in the yazhong misunderstood his intentions, but to give Han Longtu a dismount. Han Longtu knew that the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, so he could only go to be careful, and he didn't do it well the first time, so he had to go the second time. In any case, now they are all transferred to the Henan Mansion Yamen, not sentenced to Henan Mansion to Caosi Yamen, which side is weak, you can know at a glance. ”

Han Gang is guilty? Tong Guan shook his head, he couldn't say that, it was unimaginable. It should just be to help Wen Yanbo break the siege and sell it well, not to grovel to Xijing to stay behind, "When did this rumor come out?" ”

"That is, it only spread today, and I haven't heard of it yesterday, and the villain only received it at noon today." Zuo Feng replied: "Basically, that's what I say. said that Han Longtu was afraid that Cao Yun would be pulled back, so he swallowed his anger and had to come to the door for the second time, and he sat for two hours before he dared to say goodbye and leave. ”

There are two theories at the moment, one is that Han Gang is generous and benevolent, so that Wen Yanbo has to accept his favors. The other is that Han Gang asked for perfection, hoping that Wen Yanbo would not interfere with his work to dig the Xianghan Cao Canal.

Tong Guan was suspicious in his heart, and there were some problems with both statements, especially the second one:

'Han Gang shouldn't be this character! '......' is by no means a compromise. ’

Tong Guan's first impression of Han Gang was that he followed Li Xian to Xihe, when Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu led the army over the Exposed Mountain to pursue the remnants of Mu Zheng, and there was no news for a while.

A small Beijing official in Hangang District, who had just been an official for two years, resisted the counterattack of Western Xia and Tubo and kept the Xihe River all the way to the Xihe River by standing up to the envoys who came with the edict of retiring from the army. How could such a tough character who would rather bend than bend bend to ensure the supply of Cao Yun to Wen Yanbo? I'm afraid I'm going to try to get Wen Yanbo to leave.

Tong Guan suddenly felt that what was in front of him was a mess, and his task was to unravel this mess and find out the hidden secrets of the whole thing in order to get through this difficulty.

…… Wrong! Tong Guan suddenly realized that his task was not to inform the Son of Heaven after finding out the facts, but to convince the Son of Heaven that his words were the truth. If the Son of Heaven does not believe, the truth is also false, and if the Son of Heaven believes, the false is also true.

That is to say, as long as he behaves well, the Son of Heaven's understanding of Henan's current situation will come from himself. He is a low-grade chamberlain, like a weight that can affect the balance of the scales, and determines the inversion of the balance called the Son of Heaven. It's just that before that, Tong Guan must first determine his tendencies...... But this choice is very easy to make, Tong Guan didn't think much about it, and he had already made a decision.

If it is seventy-five and fifty-seven, it may take a lot of thought to think about which side to lean, but at the moment, Wen Yanbo is seventy-five, and Han Gang is twenty-seven, do you need to think more about who you prefer?

Not to mention that he Tong Guan has dealt with Han Gang a lot, so he can speak in person. And he has no friendship with the Wen family at all, and Wen Yanbo has only seen him from afar at the court meeting, a tall and strong old man.

Although he is a eunuch, he will inevitably rely on the two provinces in the future, and the deacons can not only be mixed with the promotion of the inner servants, but also bad things. Shi Deyi, who was in charge of the Imperial City Division, suffered a lot from the scholars. Tong Guan is a smart person, and he naturally knows which side to choose.

However, this matter can't be too obvious, as a slave of the Son of Heaven, he needs to be fair without a private position, if the bias is too big, the Son of Heaven will not have a good time.

Tong Guan frowned and organized the language, how to say it in order to satisfy the Son of Heaven and not misunderstand himself, but at the same time, he had to show a certain tendency, so that the Son of Heaven's mind also leaned, "This errand is really not easy." ’

……………………

Fu Bi had already heard that the envoy of the Son of Heaven had arrived at the post house with gifts before the city gate was closed today. As the head snake of Luoyang, he even found out the news that the horses in the house were recruited for questioning.

"Sure enough, the old man's birthday is just incidental, and it is mainly about Wen Kuanfu and Han Yukun. Wen Kuanfu's fuss made the Son of Heaven remember it in his heart. Fu Bi's tone of self-talk seemed to be a little complaining, but the calmness on his face made it impossible to see his true mood at all.

With a wave of his hand, the messenger retreated, and only Fu Bi was left drinking angelica drink in the government hall, and an old servant was serving beside him.

Fu Bi is now the most idle old man in Luoyang City, one is because Fu Bi since he returned to his hometown, he rarely sees visitors on the grounds of old illness - he has thousands of relatives and friends in Luoyang, if he opens the door to meet guests, he is not allowed to be idle from morning to night, and his feet have always been sick; Another reason is that the dispute over the government has attracted too much people's attention, which has made the rich family a little cleaner.

However, Fu Bi's purity today did not last long, and only a moment later, someone came to report: "Secretary Liu is visiting." ”

"Liu Boshou hasn't been here for a while, please!" Fu Bi got up as he spoke, and greeted him on the steps down the steps with the support of the old servant.

Fu Bi is not missing all the guests, and all the elderly, including Shao Yong, who has just passed away, are often moving around. Fubi worships Buddha, and several eminent monks in Luoyang also often come and go, and Liu Ji and Liu Boshou are also one of them.

Although Liu Ji's official position is not high, the Liu family is a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, from the Northern Qi Dynasty to the present, there are people from generation to generation, and the world exists, not boasted, and the reputation in Luoyang City is not low.

In the court, Fu Bi saluted him and returned to the hall and sat down together. Waiting for the next person to serve tea soup and sweets, Fu Bi has: "Boshou hasn't come to the door for more than half a year"

"I was afraid of cold in winter, I didn't like to go out, and I had lazy disease in the spring, and I only recovered in the past two days." is old, and he has no scruples about speaking, Liu Ji looked inside and outside: "Yanguo's birthday is approaching, why don't you see much joy in the political hall?" ”

"It's not a serious day every nine or ten, and I don't prepare for big things. Children are busy with things, but I'm idle here. ”

Liu Ji glanced at Fu Bi's plain straight shirt with no patterns, "Leisure is leisure, and it is becoming more and more frugal." ”

Fu Bi smiled slightly: "It's just for the sake of blessings." Now even the meat is less fishy. ”

"Are you really going to be ordained as a layman?" Liu Ji disagreed, and after taking a sip of tea, he asked, "I heard that Yan Guo intends to shave a monk in the tomb temple tomorrow?" ”

"Indeed...... Bo Shou, your body is lazy at home, but your ears are running around. Fu Bi said with a smile, and said: "This person's words are gratifying, and he is very sincere in worshiping the Buddha, but he is too poor to have a degree, so he will give him a ride." ”

"It's a good ride." Liu Ji laughed, "But Yanguo, you have broken a few times, and you can only get one, and you can't judge the merit before the world." ”

Fu Bi was a little puzzled: "Where do you start talking about this?" ”

"It was Liu Gong's father [Liu Chu] who said it to Yanshi the day before yesterday, referring to the monk you got last year. Liu Gongfu said that Yanguo, every time you talk to monks, you often have too much reputation, and their people are arrogant, but they will cause trouble, and witness a few people, isn't it bad? ’”

"Father Liu Gong's tongue is always unforgiving." Fu Bi frowned unhappily, then smiled again: "Outsiders don't hinder the world, if it's bad, it's bad." If it is replaced by a pro-people official, what should it be? ”

"That's a good thing, but the Buddha doesn't like to hear it." Liu Ji clapped his hands and leaned closer, "I don't know if Yanguo, what do you think is good or bad about the two families of Fucao now." ”

“…… What does Wen Kuanfu say? Fu Bi asked rhetorically.

"I haven't asked yet." Liu paused a few times, shook his head and smiled, "I'm afraid I shouldn't ask." ”
