Emperor Zhao Ji followed the sound and looked over, only to see a man walking out of the Wen train, tall and burly, with strong skin and bones like iron, bright eyes, dark complexion, beard under his head, at a glance, full of masculinity, forty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a three-grade court uniform, this person is the eunuch Tong Guan who worships the cardinal envoy, Longyan Dayue. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info So what kind of ability does this Tong Guan have from a eunuch to become the secretary of the three grades who are in charge of power.

When Tong Guan entered the palace, he was an apprentice under his fellow villager and senior eunuch Li Xian.

This Li Xian was a famous eunuch of the Shenzong Dynasty, who served as a supervisor on the northwest border for many years, and had some military exploits. Tong Guan has studied private school for four years, and some scriptures are fundamental; followed Li Xian to the front line, and laid a military foundation, and he has a bit of literary and military skills.

What's more, such a masculine person, but well-behaved, meticulous, has a strong insight into the emperor's psychology, and can always predict the emperor's intentions in advance, so he rarely speaks and does things in a wild manner, so as to be very happy.

In addition, he has gone deep into the northwest ten times and has a good understanding of the local mountain and river situation; This makes him more well-informed and unusual than those eunuchs who squat in the palace all year round. However, Li Xian did not have any special promotion and care for him, so Tong Guan entered the palace for more than 20 years and never got ahead. If it weren't for Zhao Ji's temperament as the emperor, or in other words, if Emperor Shenzong could live for twenty more years, he might have died in obscurity in the palace.

But when people are unlucky, they will fart and hit their heels, but if people are lucky, no matter how thick the walls are, they can't stop it. Just as Tong Guan was unknown and was about to die in the palace, Zhao Ji became the emperor after Dabao.

When Zhao Ji ascended the throne, Tong Guan was already over forty years old. This age is the peak of life experience, experience, and energy.

Tong Guan is measured, can be sparse wealth, quite generous, good at buying people's hearts, of course, the object of his righteousness and wealth is extremely selective, harem concubines, eunuchs, palace maids, Taoist priests who can get close to the royal family, the Son of Heaven, etc., from time to time can get a lot of benefits from him. Therefore, the emperor could often hear good things about him in his ears, which could be called rave reviews. For this reason, Zhao Ji decided to use this Tong Guan, Zhao Ji for his own fun, in the name of the Inner Court Minister, sent Tong Guan to Hangzhou to set up the Ming Gold Bureau to collect Luo Wen to play calligraphy and painting, which opened a channel for him to rise.

Generally speaking, the enshriner of the inner court is roughly equivalent to the chief of procurement and supply of the imperial palace, which is not a very high position, but it is a very oily and watery fat gap.

Tong Guan was not satisfied with taking benefits, his use of this opportunity, can be called scheming, meaningful, he unscrupulously looted a large number of gold and silver jewelry, to not use it for his own pleasure, but in a reluctant child can not hold the wolf spirit, out of a large amount of money to make friends with the powerful of the dynasty, Cai Jing, Zhou Bangyan and others, got the recommendation of these people, and to be good at opportunism, see the wind to rudder the astute quickly got Zhao Ji's appreciation, got step by step, became the cardinal minister relied on by Emperor Zhao Ji.

At this time, on the Qinzheng Palace, Tong Guan saw that Emperor Zhao Ji proposed to conquer Shuibo Liangshan, and those military generals who usually showed off their martial arts and glittered Niu B became deflated eggplants, and immediately thought of the opportunity to show their faces.

Emperor Zhao Ji looked happy and praised again and again: "Okay, Secretary Tong is worthy of being the country's white jade pillar, and he has a purple and golden beam in the sea, so I will order you to be the generalissimo of Pingkou, and lead the soldiers and horses to conquer the bandits of Shuibo Liangshan, may you be victorious and successful." Then he asked Cai Jingdao: "What do you think, Master?" ”

Cai Jing said: "Long live, this cardinal secretary Tong can be called Wen Taowu's slightly superior, and he is the generalissimo of the thief, none other than Lord Tong, but only a strong general, and he must be equipped with that elite soldier to be foolproof." ”

Emperor Zhao Ji nodded when he heard this and said: "Okay, then Master Tong, I will give you a holy decree, whether it is the state or the prefecture in this world, the soldiers and horses, and the good generals are at your disposal, only if you can exterminate the grass in the Shuibo Liangshan Mountain, you will do whatever it takes." ”

Tong Guan hurriedly knelt down and said, "Weichen thanks the Holy God for his trust, and he will definitely live up to the high hopes of Long Live it." Flattening the Song River, those puddles and grasses, and long live a peaceful Shuibo Liangshan. ”

Emperor Zhao Ji said happily: "Okay, now I can sleep peacefully and retire from the dynasty!" ”

The privy envoy Tong Guan accepted the appointment of Emperor Zhao Ji as the generalissimo of the army, and walked out of the palace of diligence happily.

Gao Yu and Yang Jin walked over from behind and said, "Congratulations to Master Tong on being appointed as the generalissimo of the unified army." ”

Tong Guan said: "You and I are both people who eat the country's Fenglu, since ancient times, the food of the king and the king's worries, this is Tong's duty." ”

Gao Yu complimented: "My lord's high style and bright festival are really a model for us to learn." ”

Tong Guan said humbly: "There, there, the two captains, Tong is just fulfilling his responsibilities as a minister, and it is not worth mentioning." Then Tong Guan said: "I don't know if the two adults have other things, if there is nothing to do, can you enjoy your face and have a few drinks in my house, Xia Guan is having something to ask the two captains for advice." ”

Gao Yu said: "Okay, thank you for your high look." ”

The three of them talked and laughed, walked out of the palace and walked towards the Tong Guan Mansion at the northwest corner of the Royal Street.

The three of them came to Tong's Mansion, Tong Guan let Gao Yu and Yang Jin into the hall, and ordered his subordinates to bring up the wine and food, and everyone sat around the table.

Tong Guan filled the jade cup with wine and said: "Come on, the two Taiwei, let the thieves of Shuibo Liang Mountain disturb this lantern festival at night, especially Lord Gao has worked hard for most of the night to chase down Song Jiang and others, this glass of wine can be regarded as a shock." ”

Tong, Gao, and Yang raised their glasses and drank together.

Gao Yu looked up at Mingyue outside the window and said, "It's a pity that this Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has made Song Jiang and others have no fun to stir up." ”

Yang Jin touched the big green bag on his head that was smashed out by the black whirlwind Li Kui with a chair and sighed: "Alas, who said it wasn't, I never dreamed that Shuibo Liangshan, Song Jiang and others would be thieves and run to the house of the Oiran lady Master Li." ”

Tong Guan was born as a eunuch, and he had a kind of resentment and boredom towards that woman, so he snorted contemptuously and said: "Hmph, this no thief can't attract foreigners, presumably Master Li's **** coveted Song Jiang's money, which led Song Jiang in, but unfortunately the Son of Heaven also went there, but fortunately, the Son of Heaven reacted sensitively and walked out of the tunnel, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

Gao Yu nodded and said: "What Master Tong said is right, since the ancient road, the **** is ruthless, and the drama is unmeaningful, it must be the stinky woman of Master Li who seduced Song Jiang and others to sneak into the capital." ”

It turned out that this Gao Yu Gao Taiwei also fell in love with the beauty of the Oiran lady Li Shishi, but because the emperor was in the middle, he never got the opportunity to get close to Fang Ze, so he was resentful and hurt Li Shishi with bad words.

Tong Guan looked at Yang Jin and said, "I think you are also fateful, and you can escape from such a person." I heard that the person who hit you with a chair is the black whirlwind Li Kui, this person is the most inhuman thief in Shuibo Liangshan, and he has always killed people like hemp. You, Captain Yang, are really lucky to be able to pick a life under this person. ”

Yang Taiwei said: "This black whirlwind Li Kui of Shuibo Liangshan is really a fierce man, extremely cruel, I can find a life to come back, it is also usually accumulated virtue and good deeds, and I have to be favored by God." Lord Tong is fighting Shuibo Liangshan this time, I hope that I can capture the black whirlwind Li Kui alive and hand it over to me to deal with it myself, so that I can relieve the hatred in my heart. ”

Tong Guan said: "That's, that's, if I capture that black whirlwind Li Kui alive, I will definitely hand that guy over to you, Lord Yang, to deal with." Then asked Gao Yu: "Taiwei has never relaxed his investigation of that Shuibo Liangshan, can you tell Tong about the details of that place to deepen his understanding of it." ”

Gao Yu patted Tong Guan's sycophant and said: "Master Tong really knows the way of using soldiers, and only by knowing oneself and knowing oneself can one not be defeated in a hundred battles." Well, I'll tell you all the information I have about Shuibo Liangshan. As he spoke, he took a sip of wine and said: "According to the information that Gao has mastered, this Song Jiang in order to demagogue, not long ago in Shuibo Liangshan conducted a new seat arrangement, and pieced together a full hundred and eight leaders, nonsense What is adhering to the will of God to go down to the earth of thirty-six Tiangang, seventy-two earthly evil, for a time it was really blinded a lot of people who did not know the truth, rushed to the Shuibo Liangshan, and now the seventy or eighty thousand gangsters have gathered, the cardinal secretary has to be careful when he goes this time. ”

Tong Guan laughed when he heard this: "Haha, Lord Taiwei, you are also too long to be the majesty of the grass of Shuibo Liangshan, and destroy the morale of our court army, no matter how many soldiers and horses in Shuibo Liangshan are, they are all rabble, and they are vulnerable." Besides, the soldiers and horses I led this time are not the ordinary people, all of them can fight well and bravely penetrate the three armies. ”

Gao Yu said: "I don't know if Master Tong is going this time, and he will need those soldiers and horses to go." ”

Tong Guan said: "This cardinal secretary went to Shuibo Liangshan to discuss this time, and what he asked for was a quick victory, so I wanted to ask the brave people who had gone to the northwest border pass with me to go to Shuibo Liangshan together." On the day of the expedition, you two will know. ”

Yang Jin said: "It seems that Lord Tong is already a bamboo in his chest, the Lord is really Sun Wu is alive, Zhuge is reborn, there is that in the midst of the strategy, the decisive victory after thousands of miles, the Great Song Dynasty has this pillar of the country, why worry that the water Boliang mountain thieves will not be destroyed." ”

Tong Guan said: "Lord Yang has won the award, this cardinal secretary will go on this expedition, and I hope that the two adults will give more support to the logistics grain and grass, otherwise the soldiers will be hungry to fight." ”

Gao Yu said: "This matter of grain and grass, Master Tong can rest assured. Tomorrow I will urge my men to do it. It is necessary to ensure sufficient supply. (To be continued.) )
