Listening to Tan Zhen's words, Tong Guan didn't speak, he knew very well what kind of person Zhao Ji was, what small things are easy to understand, and he should say that this Daojun Emperor is a smart person, but he is greedy for pleasure, and he is not a material for being a human monarch at all. But the previous sentence is good, over the years, above the Great Song Dynasty, who else can have the qualifications, experience, and prestige to lead hundreds of thousands of troops in battle? As long as the Son of Heaven still wants to use soldiers, he can't do without himself, even if there are some setbacks, but in the end he will still be useful. To put it bluntly, as long as you have military power, you will be happy and rich. Thinking of this, Tong Guan couldn't help but feel a little sad, since ancient times, he has only heard that military generals raise thieves for self-respect, how can he even raise a thief for self-respect today.

Thinking of this, Tong Guan bowed down and thanked Tan Zhen: "Thank you Tan Gong for your advice, otherwise a certain family will not know why!" ”

"Tong Gongyan is heavy!" Tan Zhi said with a smile: "You are the envoy of the four-way Xuanfu, I am the envoy of the two Zhejiang systems, we can be described as grasshoppers on the same line, I save you is to save myself!" Those gossiping are nothing more than red-eyed that you are leading an army of more than 100,000 people, and the high-ranking officials have to do it, and the silver and copper are packed into the bag like flowing water, and they just want to stab you twice to share some profits, and they don't really want to kill you. It's not those little caterpillars who are really going to kill you! ”

"Tan Gong, is there anyone else?" Tong Guan heard something from the other party's words, and hurriedly asked.

"Father-in-law, our family will also talk about it. The wealth and glory of the second half of your life, and the fame of your achievements and fame, are all in the great cause of conquering Liao. If this matter is done, it is just an idle matter for the king to be crowned, you and I know that people like us who are left behind in prison have no good reputation in the history books since ancient times, but if you do it, the history is full of history, who dares to say a bad word about you? ”

Hearing Tan Zhen's words, Tong Guan's snort suddenly became heavy, and the official was like him. Wealth and glory have reached the extreme. He is also a eunuch, he has no descendants, and the only thing he values is his reputation in the history books of later generations. If he can really restore Yan Yun, no matter how many evil things he has done before. It's just a small mistake. Don't you see that Guo Ziyi of the previous dynasty was poor and extravagant, but who in the world dares to say a word about him? It's just that Tan Zhi said this at this time. Could it be that what happened to the conquest of Liao?

"Tan Gong, please speak up. Tong is not a merciless person, if he is helped today, he will be rewarded in the future! ”

"Tong Gongyan is heavy!" Tan Zhi laughed: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the public minister is very quiet, so some people in the court puff their tongues and shake their lips, saying that the gold people ask for a lot, and there are very few of them, so it is better to stop the covenant and wait and see what happens! ”

"Misleading the country and rotting Confucianism!" Tong Guan said angrily, Tan Zhen's words did speak to the root, to put it bluntly, above the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, the vast majority of courtiers were neither the main battle faction nor the main peace faction, but only the faction in power and the faction that tried to be in power. If the establishment wants to join forces to conquer Liao, then those who are not in power will shout 'the hundred-year alliance cannot be broken' and 'the labor and wages will be wasted'; if the establishment wants to sit back and watch the changes, then those who are not in power will shout 'the territory of the ancestors, the opportunity for a hundred years, how can you miss it?' Since Cai Jing, who is known as the 'public minister', stepped down, this old disgusting thing has been thinking about returning to power, and if he wants to come to power, he has to bring down Wang Jiangming, who is now on the stage, and naturally he has to destroy the matter of Wang Jiangming's joint gold war against Liao. It's just that with Cai Jing's cunning and cunning, he naturally won't rush Zhao Ji's head. It just so happened that a Fang La rebellion fell from the sky, and Tong Guan, the backbone of Lianjin and Liao, left the capital, if he didn't take the opportunity to cause an incident, he would be sorry for his Cai Yuanchang's clever heart.

"Huh!" Tan Zhi looked at Tong Guan there with a smirk and stared at him, but he couldn't do it. To put it bluntly, this kind of court struggle, in the final analysis, is actually a matter of comparison, whoever is close to the roots of the official family can win. This is also the reason why so many heroes and heroes in ancient times couldn't fight the eunuch harem, you are a literary and martial artist, but you can't stand the pillow style of other people's dinner tables. But although Tong Guan is also a eunuch, he is supervising the army in Jiangnan at this time, which is far less than Cai Jing, who is still in Tokyo although he has gone into the wilderness, not to mention that Cai Jing also writes a good hand, and there are many opportunities to sing and reward with the Son of Heaven. At this time, Tong Guan couldn't help but sigh: "Originally, I was a eunuch, and I no longer had a dog to be disciplined, and I couldn't imagine that today's scholars in the Great Song Dynasty have no discipline, which is really frustrating!" ”

"Tell the marshal, there is an urgent envoy from the royal capital who is waiting outside!"

"Pass him in!" Tong Guan regained his composure, hoping it was good news, he really needed good news at the moment.

A dusty envoy came up to the court, bowed down to Tong Guan and Tan Shu, and presented a letter with both hands. Tong Guan took the letter from the entourage, checked that the letter was correct, opened it, his hands trembled, and he smiled and said: "God help me, God help me!" ”

"What's the matter, it's a thief's business—"

"Get down to business!" Tong Guan handed the letter in his hand to Tan Zhen, and said with a smile: "Xin Xingzong Guo did not live up to me, two days ago, he attacked his lair with light soldiers, captured and beheaded dozens of thieves, and Fang La himself has already been captured!" Speaking of this, Tong Guan had already stood up from his chair and paced back and forth in the hall, while calculating: "It's already the end of April now, and it will take three or four months to clear the remaining Kou, and then there will be two or three months to collect the troops, and you can return to Beijing before the end of this year, hehe!" Tong Guan muttered to himself, grinding his teeth and laughing: "Cai Yuanchang, Cai Yuanchang!" When the old man returns to Beijing, he will fight with you again! ”

"Tong Gong, even if you don't return to Beijing in person, this good news is worth a million troops!" Tan Zhi said with a smile.

"Not bad!" Tong Guan laughed when he heard this: "Tan Gong is really smart, just let those wall grasses in the Beijing Division remember, and I Tong Guan is a person!" With that, he turned around and ordered loudly: "Come, write a good news, and send it to Jingshi with Lubu on a fast horse!" ”

Guide Mansion, East and West Road to recruit the envoy mansion.

"Nian Ru and the others are all children of the court, if you repent—"

Zhou Pingzheng was holding a document in the house, and read it aloud to his wife Yun Niang on the side, and every time he read a few sentences, he explained the ancient and difficult words to his wife. At this time, Yun Niang was already pregnant for ten months, her abdomen bulged a lot, she was reclining on the couch, listening to her husband's explanation, her face was full of happy and satisfied smiles.

"In this way, the Son of Heaven has issued a decree to exempt all the unpaid levy money on Jingxi Road, as long as those who fled into the mountains and forests return home, they will not be blamed?" After listening to all the documents, Yun Niang asked her husband with some suspicions.

"Not bad!" Zhou Ping smiled and nodded: "That's exactly what it means, but if there is a killer, it is not included!" ”

"That's nature!" Yun Niang nodded as a matter of course, and said with a pious face: "Bodhisattva bless, not only how many people can go home now, it's really gratifying!" Speaking of this, she turned her head and said to Zhou Ping with admiration on her face: "This is also the credit of the husband, if there is no husband to play the court, how can there be such a good thing!" ”

"The lady thinks of her husband as a husband, where can I go to the court to write to the court, it was an excerpt issued by Han Xianggong and Chen Xianggong, I just said a few words in front of the two ministers!"

"That's also the credit of the husband! If there is no husband, how can the two fathers have an excerpt? How could the imperial court exempt the small people from paying taxes? That's a great merit! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Ping smiled and reached out to stroke his wife's bulging lower abdomen, and said with a smile: "I hope God blesses, this merit falls on your mother and son, mother and son are safe!" ”

Yun Niang's face flushed with shyness, and she said in a slight and deep voice: "May the gods and Buddhas bless me and give birth to a boy, so as to leave a piece of incense for the Zhou family!" ”

"Huh!" Zhou Ping shook his head: "Boys and girls are good, I like them all, as long as the mother and child are safe!" ”

"It's better to be a boy!" Yun Niang shook her head firmly: "The girl will be reborn in the future, husband, you have no brothers, and you can only let the Zhou family spread out if you have children!" ”

"Good, boy!" Zhou Ping was a little embarrassed by his wife's firm attitude, he is indeed not as paranoid as he was at that time, but it is also a good thing to have a son who can inherit his blood. But he must be allowed to live in a more peaceful and beautiful era than in history.

"Husband, husband! What are you thinking? Yun Niang gently patted Zhou Ping's cheek twice, obviously her husband was distracted just now, this is a common thing, her husband is almost thirty years old, but many times he is still cranky like a teenager, and often talks nonsense in front of him, but isn't this what he likes? Thinking of this, Yun Niang's cheeks couldn't help but feel a little feverish.

"Oh, forgive me, think about some business!" Zhou Ping hurriedly smiled.

"Liar!" Yun Niang said with a smile: "Since the court has issued a will, the thieves are not yet in the wind, after all, this peaceful world, who wants to go up the mountain to be a robber?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Ping nodded, and secretly swore in his heart: "Even if you fight for your life, you want these people to live a peaceful life!" ”

While the two were talking, there were sudden hurried footsteps outside, and only Xue Liangyu's high-pitched voice was heard: "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou!" Good news! Then I saw him rush in, just bumping into Zhou Ping and his wife's intimate appearance, and couldn't help but blush, and lowered his head: "Big brother, forgive me, I'll go out first!" ”

"Wait!" Zhou Ping stood up: "Liangyu, you are not an outsider, let's talk about things first!" ”

"Yes!" Xue Liangyu answered, and replied with a red face: "There are documents here, Fang La has been captured alive!" (To be continued......)
