Xu Liang welcomed Dai Feng into the house, and after several people sat down, Xu Liang looked at Dai Feng and asked with a smile: "The old man entered the city at this time, should he have anything important to explain?" ”

Dai Feng took a big sip of tea, put down the teacup with a hiss, looked at a few people in the room, and said, "The virtuous son-in-law plans to enter the palace in person the day after tomorrow to participate in this court push?" ”

Xu Liang nodded slowly and said, "Not bad." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis matter is not only related to the future of Huang Daozhou, but also related to the interests of my Liang army, if I don't go, I am very worried that someone in the court will wantonly hinder the smooth progress of the court push. ”

Dai Feng nodded slowly and said, "Sure enough, it's the same as the old man expected." As he spoke, Dai Feng sighed lightly, his tone a little low, "Counting up, it has been three years since the old man entered Beijing with his virtuous son-in-law and led his 40,000 sons to guard Tongzhou. It has been a few days since the virtuous son-in-law entered Beijing, and the situation of my Tongzhou soldiers must have been heard of by the virtuous son-in-law, the original 40,000 men and horses, under the deliberate suppression of the court, the number of soldiers has been reduced to more than 30,000. Alas, the old man is ashamed. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, his mood was also a little heavy, and he sighed lightly: "In the past two years, the official's mind has basically been on the Shaanxi side, and he has paid less attention to these brothers who stayed in Beijing. It's because I can't stand up to you, Brother Liang Jun. ”

Dai Feng waved his hand, "We didn't blame you. The emperor and the ministers of the court are aware of the relationship between the old man and you, and they will target my Tongzhou soldiers like this, which is also expected by the old man. However, this time the virtuous son-in-law made a fuss in the palace, and the old man led the Tongzhou soldiers to surround Yongdingmen, so that no matter what the result of this court push is, the court will definitely not let my Tongzhou soldiers go. If the virtuous son-in-law leaves the Jingshi, the situation of our Tongzhou soldiers will definitely be even more difficult. Virtuous son-in-law, the old man is here, and I will ask you a word, how do you plan to settle my nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses in Tongzhou? ”

This is the real purpose of Dai Feng entering the city late at night and meeting Xu Liang.

Xu Liang listened and understood Dai Feng's situation very well, he was dealing with the emperor in the palace, and Dai Feng led his troops to surround Yongding Gate, which was tantamount to a complete break with the court. Once the court frees up its hands, it will definitely retaliate against Dai Feng and others. It is foreseeable that once Xu Liang leaves the capital division, Dai Feng and the other 30,000 people will be isolated in Tongzhou City, and they will have no chance of winning in the face of the suppression of the court in many aspects. With the old plan of the emperor and Sun Chengzong, the court did not need to be particularly obvious, but when the Tartar soldiers in the north attacked, the military department issued an order, ordering Dai Feng to lead the army out of the pass to meet the enemy, and consume the soldiers and horses in the hands of the Tartar soldiers!

Xu Liang believes that this method of killing people with a knife is absolutely not psychologically burdensome for the emperor to use.

Xu Liang pondered for a while and asked Dai Fengdao: "I want to know, what do the 30,000 soldiers in Tongzhou think in their hearts?" Would you like to stay in Jingshi, or do you ......? ”

Dai Feng waved his hand and said categorically: "Virtuous son-in-law, since the old man came to see you tonight, he naturally discussed it with his subordinates. They were originally the authentic Liang Jun, who came all the way from Shaanxi to Beijing, and they sang Liang Jun's military songs all the way. On behalf of the 30,000 soldiers of the Liang Army, I am here to assure you that I will always follow you! Whether you go or stay, you are all up to you. However, having said that, the old man still thinks that if possible, it would be better to leave Jingshi. ”

Xu Liang nodded and said, "The old man is right. In this way, the old man went back and said to his subordinate Liang Jun, I Xu Liang will definitely leave the capital with all the soldiers this time. ”

When Dai Feng heard this, his expression perked up, and he said movingly: "With the words of a virtuous son-in-law, the old man will be relieved." After that, Dai Feng stood up, arched his hand to a few people in the room, and said, "Okay, the old man's words are finished, let's go back!" Virtuous son-in-law, the old man will go back to reorganize the armament and wait for your arrangement at any time. ”

"I'll send you." Xu Liang said.

On May 20 of the sixth year of Chongzhen, another court push day of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

The topic of this court promotion was known in advance by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, so the ministers all arrived quite early, lined up one by one according to their grades, waiting for the noon gate to open, ready to go to the court.

Many familiar officials were whispering to each other, guessing who would be the lucky one to be promoted to cabinet ministers based on their own experience as officials.

Among the three candidates, Qian Shisheng had the highest voice, followed by Tang Shiji, and as for the last candidate, Huang Daozhou, most of them selectively ignored it.

At the front of the line of officials waiting to enter the palace, the three elders of the cabinet were impressively listed. However, the three pavilion elders were all very powerful people, and one by one, the old gods were standing on the ground, clasping their hands, as if they were closing their eyes to recuperate.

The surrounding officials also consciously stayed away from the three elders to show their respect for the three elders.

Time passed little by little, and finally it was time for the noon gate to open, the heavy noon gate palace gate creaked open, and two teams of palace guards ran out in line and stood still on both sides of the noon gate.

Immediately, the three cabinet elders standing at the front of the team opened their eyes one after another, and Xu Guangqi, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, calmed down and walked towards the palace.

Like a leader, Xu Ge moved, and the two rows of waiting officials also walked around, lined up in a long line, and entered the palace to go to court.

Suddenly, a black carriage came triumphantly, and the man who was driving the carriage turned over beautifully, jumped out of the carriage, pulled the reins with one hand, and stopped at the neighing of Herod in unison.

This noise naturally alarmed the adults who were about to enter the palace. Many people looked back at the carriage, and after seeing the two people who got out of the carriage clearly, the entire contingent of officials who entered the palace began to stir unconsciously.

"It's him! How did he get here? ”

"If something like this happens, Xu Liang still dares to enter the palace? What a guts! ”

The officials looked at Xu Liang and Huang Daozhou in surprise and walked over with a smile on their faces, and Xu Liang even bowed his hand to a few blue-robed officials who walked at the back of the line very kindly and asked, "Yo, all of you have come early!" This palace gate has just been opened, right? Luckily, I caught up! ”

Xu Liang smiled happily, with a familiar expression, and greeted several unknown officials warmly.

Several blue-robed officials looked at him with some embarrassment and surprise, and responded curtly: "Lord Xu is early, and Lord Huang is also ...... early."

Xu Liang didn't have the slightest sense of embarrassment, nor did he mean to squeeze forward, so he stayed at the back of the team and chatted with these blue-robed petty officials of seven or eight grades. The enthusiasm is overwhelming.

Several blue-robed petty officials suddenly became uncomfortable, and they had the intention to keep a distance from Xu Liang, but at this time, it was time to prepare to enter the palace, and their grades were worthy of standing at the back of the line.

Huang Daozhou, who followed behind him, looked at these petty officials with sympathy.

The commotion at the back of the team, the three pavilion elders who walked in the front quickly noticed it, and Wen Tiren said in surprise: "Why did Xu Liang also follow him into the palace?" ”

Sun Chengzong said coldly: "In this court push, Xu Liang's henchman Huang Daozhou is one of the candidates, Huang Daozhou wants to run for election, and as the master, there is no reason not to participate." Besides, Xu Liang himself is also the feudal territory of Zhengsanpin, and he is eligible to participate in voting according to the system. In other words, if I were Xu Liang, I would have to come. ”

Wen Tiren pursed his lips and sneered: "It's a pity that he entered the palace today, purely to bring humiliation on himself!" ”

Xu Ge Lao didn't speak, he didn't even mean to look back at Xu Liang, he walked in the direction of Jinluan Hall by himself, Wen Tiren and Sun Chengzong saw this, so they shut up and followed all the way.

Xu Liang walked at the back of the line, chattered with the first few petty officials in front of him for a while, and saw that the faces of several blue-robed petty officials were really ugly, so he stopped his mouth very interestingly, and turned to whisper to the Metropolitan Procuratorate beside him, and he didn't know what he was muttering.

After passing through the noon gate, Xu Liang suddenly saw a purple-robed eunuch standing on the side of the palace road with four Dongchang fans, and looked coldly at the ministers going to court.

Xu Liang grinned at the purple-robed eunuch is Sen Senran.

The purple-robed eunuch was scanning the ministers, and when he saw Xu Liang smiling so ill-intentioned at himself, he couldn't help but be frightened, staring at Xu Liang with wide eyes, wondering what this master wanted to do, why was he laughing so scary?!

However, Xu Liang's smile flashed away, and then he ignored the purple-robed eunuch and swaggered into the palace.

The purple-robed eunuch looked at Xu Liang's back in a daze for a long time. Seeing this, the Dongchang fan next to him called softly: "Three-gear head, three-gear head?" ”

The purple-robed eunuch Liu San immediately came back to his senses, glared at him, and shouted unhappily: "What are you shouting?!" ”

Fanzi scratched his head and said with a smile: "The head of the third gear, all the adults have entered the palace for a court meeting, are we going to guard under the noon gate?" ”

Liu San was grinned inexplicably by Xu Liang's meaning, which made his heart go up and down, and he was not happy in his heart, and when he heard this, he immediately gave that fan a violent shudder, and scolded: "You fucking pig brain?!" Today is the day of the court push, and the eyes of Beijing City are looking at the inside of the Jinluan Palace, and the guards in the palace have more than doubled. ”

"Ah...... What does the three-gear head mean? That time he was scolded by Liu San and his neck was tightened, and he looked at Liu San pitifully.

Liu San waved his hand and said categorically: "I won't check it today, go back to the yamen to make up for the big sleep!" ”

Liu San said that there was no need to check, as a subordinate, he would naturally not stand up against it, so Fanzi and Liu San were both overjoyed, and a group of five people rushed out of the noon gate and went straight back to the Yamen of the East Investigation Factory.

Today is destined to be an unquiet day.

When Liu San and the other five people walked to the gate of the East Investigation Factory, they saw an unprecedentedly fast catcher standing at the gate of the Yamen of the East Investigation Factory, patiently explaining something to the Dongchang Fanzi who was guarding the door.

It's new! In the past, even ghosts were reluctant to come to the door at the yamen of the Dongji Factory, except for the Dongchang fanzi who entered and exited the yamen, it was rare to see one or two outsiders at all. Now, Liu San actually saw a catcher!

Rare! It's a rarity!

"I've told you everything! The adults in our yamen are so busy today that they don't have the time to pay attention to all the in your Shuntianfu! Get lost! If you don't get out of here, I'll catch you and throw you in prison! The guard at the door viciously threatened the fast catcher.

Catch quickly suddenly grew into a bitter gourd face.

Liu San walked over step by step, squinting at the fast, majestic voice and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing that the third gear head had arrived, the Dongchang fan who was guarding the door was busy with a smile and said, "Yo, the third gear head is back!" Then he shouted at the catcher: "Who is that, this is Lord Liu, the third stall head of our East Factory." You're lucky today, just in time to come back in third gear! ”

When he heard this, he immediately bowed his hand to Liu San in surprise, and said respectfully: "The little Shuntianfu head octopus has seen Lord Liu. ”

"Yes!" Liu San looked arrogant and asked indifferently: "Zhang Zhutou came to my East Factory, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Zhutou nodded and said, "Lord Qiqi, it's like this, last night Shuntianfu suddenly received a murder. ”

"Homicide?" Liu San raised his eyelids and motioned for Zhang Zhutou to continue, for the third gear head of Dongchang, the ordinary murder case could not arouse the slightest interest in the third gear head.

Zhang Zhutou then said: "That's the case, Lord Liu, when the shopkeeper of Xinglong Inn cleaned the room on the third floor last night, he actually cleaned up a corpse from under the bed!" ”

"Oh." Liu San yawned.

The fan next to him laughed and said: "I said Zhang Zhutou, we adults have everything to do, but we don't have the time to pay attention to your little murder in Shuntianfu." Like what you just said, not to mention our adults, even our brothers dozed off when they heard it! ”

When several fans heard this, they all chuckled.

Zhang Zhutou was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the little one has gone to the scene to check, and the person will not die for more than three days!" And what is even more suspicious is that the face of the deceased was cut beyond recognition with a sharp weapon, obviously the murderer wanted to cover up something! The little one thinks it's very suspicious! ”

Zhang Zhutou said eagerly, but Liu San interrupted him reluctantly and scolded: "I said Zhang Zhutou, right?" Do you think our East Investigation Factory is very idle? There are hundreds of thousands of people in the entire capital, and people are killed and killed every day. Then what do you want Shuntianfu to do quickly?! Okay, this official is very tired today, and he doesn't have time to take care of your, so get out! ”

Zhang Zhutou was in a hurry, and when he saw Liu San raising his feet and about to walk to the Yamen of Dongchang, he wanted to stop but didn't dare to stop, so he stomped his feet and shouted: "My lord, ordinary murders are small, don't dare to bother adults!" It's just that after the small one went to check, there was a major discovery! Then, the deceased was actually a eunuch!! ”

When Liu San heard this, he immediately paused, turned around like a whirlwind, and stared straight at Zhang Zhutou, his eyes were terrifying: "What did you say?" A dead eunuch?! ”

What kind of murder, suspicious case, homicide case and the like, Liu San can not care, but the dead person will be a eunuch, Liu San can't help but be moved.

Because, Liu San himself is a eunuch! And in the entire capital, the place with the most eunuchs is the palace! (To be continued.) )
