Chapter 178: Each other
Half a month after Zhao Ta received the order, Tong Guan led the army to Taiyuan, and the two handled the handover, naturally it was another reception banquet and send-off banquet, eating and drinking well The day after tomorrow was already dark, Tong Guan stayed in Zhao Ta's inner hall to drink tea and talk.
"Taiwei, can you bring the will to summon this king back to Beijing?" Although the two are fighting openly and secretly and using each other, they are still a pair of good friends in the eyes of outsiders, and without outsiders, Zhao Ta asked after sitting down.
"Lord Wang, the old man has not received the will to let you return to Beijing!" Tong Guan waved his hand and said.
"Oh, the Taiwei didn't bring a will, so is the king going to leave or staying?" Zhao Ta said with a frown and disappointment.
"Why should the prince be anxious, now the court is in chaos, although Cai Xiang has been reinstated, but after all, he is old, and he relies on his young son to handle political affairs on his behalf, maybe there is something missing!" Tong Guan comforted Zhao Ta.
"Hehe, Cai Xiang is so blessed, he can be lazy, but he can put this king aside!" Zhao Tan smiled bitterly, but he was like a mirror in his heart, Tong Guan was taking the opportunity to provoke the relationship between him and Cai's father and son.
However, Tong Guan told the truth Cai Jing was nearly eighty years old, his old eyes were dizzy, and his physical strength was much worse, so he handed over all the things to his youngest son Cai Xuan to deal with, and the child put up a score, leading more than ten secretaries every day, holding a scroll and tea to exercise the power of the prime minister of a country for his father.
But you can do it well, but Cai Xuan is better than the blue, much bolder than his father, and unscrupulously openly solicits and accepts bribes, which makes the court smoky, and Li Bangyan and Bai Shizhong, the two deputy ministers, have completely become his followers.
"Why should the prince be anxious, he is light without an official, and he can just walk around. With an old man here, you can enjoy yourself as much as you like in this northwest. Who dares to say a word! Tong Guan saw that Zhao Ta was displeased, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"The king has thanked the captain first. However, I also asked Taiwei to help this king find out the news, who secretly made it difficult for this king to return to his home, wouldn't wandering in this northwest become exile for this king! Zhao Ta said with a slight arch of his hand.
"The Holy Father ordered the old man to proclaim Hedong, and I have repeatedly shirked it, and explained to the Holy Lord several times that Prince Yan is benevolent and virtuous, and that there is a way to govern Hedong, and it cannot be replaced. Please don't misunderstand the old man! "Others don't know who Zhao Ta is, but Tong Guan has also been taught, he has dealt with him several times, but he has not been able to take advantage, now although he has no power, but there is still a pro-army in his hands, if he really makes trouble with himself, he really can't do anything, so quickly get rid of himself.
"It's too much. We get along very well, this king will never think about it over there, and I want Xie Lu and Taiwei Xie to fight for this king! Zhao Ta waved his hand, but secretly scolded in his heart that this old thing has now become the real king of the northwest. I don't know how cool it is in my heart!
"Thank you, Lord Wang, for being considerate of the old man!" Tong Guan breathed a sigh of relief, at least he had a good start and stabilized this bastard boy first, "The prince was suddenly dismissed." The old man still knows a little about this, but it involves the prince's family affairs. The old man is also inconvenient to say more. ”
"Taiwei doesn't have to worry too much, this king just wants to know who is secretly making trouble with me. It's good to be on guard against one or two, in fact, I'm tired of playing in this northwest, and I don't want to stay any longer, and I have asked to return to Beijing several times, but my father is not allowed! Zhao Ta said with an indifferent look, as if he didn't care at all about losing his official position.
"The prince thinks best, I heard that King Jia is jealous of the prince's repeated achievements in the northwest, he is worried that the prince's favor will not fade, and he will compete with him one day in the future, and he knows that the prince is not on good terms with Liang Chengzhi and Li Shaozai, so he took advantage of the opportunity of their closeness to the prince and said bad things about the prince in front of the saint, and this time I heard rumors from outsiders that the prince was also involved!" Tong Guan whispered.
"Oh, the crown prince is also involved in this? No, there is no conflict between this king and the crown prince, he has no reason! Zhao Ta suddenly stood up and said in surprise, Liang Shicheng, Li Bangyan and Zhao Kai said bad things about themselves, it is easy to understand, but the prince has always regarded himself as the object of wooing, the bigger his official does, the more help he will get in the future, and doing so now is tantamount to destroying his foundation!
"Lord Wang, the master of high merit shocks!" Tong Guan took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile, he had just 'recovered' Yanjing Mansion and was ordered to retire, until Zhang Jue's matter came out, and they couldn't finish the scene before they fulfilled their promise to be the king, and pulled themselves out again to wipe their buttocks, and Zhao Ta was also tragic because of these things.
"Meritorious Shock?! How is this possible, Yanjing Mansion is the credit of Taiwei Tong, and this king has not contributed and has not received any benefits from it! Zhao Tan shook his head and smiled.
"Alas, how can the prince say that there is no merit? Even those who served tea and water, and poured the toilet were rewarded, not to mention that the prince guarded the northwest two roads, blocked the Western Xia from sending aid, and also rescued the unified army of the Jin State, which was a great achievement, as for the benefits, those people wiped it, but the old man still appreciated it! Tong Guan said that Ah Guda was able to hand over Yanjing Mansion to the Great Song Dynasty despite the opposition of Zong Han and others, and it could not be said that there was no credit for the oblique.
"What I did was a trivial matter, how could I compare it with the Tai Lieutenant, I really don't understand the things in the court, in order to recover Yanyun Hedong, I asked for money to give money, food to food, and soldiers to send troops, how did it become a sin, Tai Wei tried his best to recover Yan Yun and was not immune from being plotted, so he had to go into the wilderness!" Zhao Ta shook his head and sighed.
"The prince drank too much, the thunder, rain and dew are all the emperor's grace, we can't speculate on ourselves as courtiers!" Tong Guan hurriedly said, these words are taboo, but he is also secretly happy, Prince Yan has grievances and can be used, "In fact, the prince suffered from this ordeal, it is precisely because of this that those traitors in the court are afraid, they are worried that the prince has settled in Hedong Station, developed a climate, and is more favored by the emperor, so that's why..."
"Heh... This king has been driven to the wild land of the northwest by them, what are they not worried about, are they still afraid that I will take their place? But this king has been annoyed, and after returning to Beijing, he will make trouble! Zhao Ta's face twitched twice and said coldly, but he secretly laughed in his heart that this Tong Lao'er also said that they were traitors, it was really a crow that fell on the pig and said that the pig was black, and now he is using words to set himself, I don't know who is playing whom!
"Don't be impulsive, don't be like this!" Tong Guan was happy to see the prince enter the hub, but quickly persuaded, secretly laughing Zhao Ta is still young and vigorous, but this is good for his own use, in fact, he knows Zhao Ta's strength better than others, in the past few years, who in Hedong and Hezhong does not miss this kid's good, and this is not better than Shaanxi itself for many years, Yu Wei is still there, and now suddenly parachuted here, if the prince does not cooperate to secretly make a stumbling block for himself, it is really not easy to end, he can only make him feel that he is a caring person to control him.
"Hmph, Lao Tzu is a prince, even if he kills a few of them, it's just a grounding, play with me, Lao Tzu is not afraid!" Zhao Ta was very cooperative and slammed the teacup and said angrily.
"The prince is angry, don't be angry!" Tong Guan hurriedly got up, personally wiped the spilled tea, and poured a new cup of tea again, "How could they not know the tiger power of the prince of the Dao, the more the prince is like this, the more they will not let the prince return to Beijing, won't this be in their arms, even if they go back, they will be immediately imprisoned, and then they will not even have the opportunity to distinguish in front of the saint!" ”
"Well, Taiwei is reasonable, so what should this king do next?" Zhao Ta took a few sips of tea, pondered for a moment and asked with a confused face.
"As the saying goes, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, the prince can't be in a hurry about this matter, he has to wait for the opportunity, and the saint will not forget the prince's merits in the northwest!" Tong Guan whispered joy and comforted in his heart, "What are those people in the court who are most afraid of our soldiers, that is, the soldiers in their hands, now that the prince has tens of thousands of pro-army under his command, how can they rest assured that you will return to Beijing, the prince only needs to disband the pro-army now, or incorporate it into other departments, and their vigilance will be eliminated, and the day when the prince returns to Beijing is just around the corner!" ”
"Alas, it's not that I'm unwilling, but think about the countless merits that these brothers made with me from birth to death, but now they have to live in the northwest because of this king, and this king is unwilling for them!" As soon as he said this, Zhao Ta seemed to have been touched by a sore spot, and the whole person stepped down.
"Lord Wang, the old man is also the one who leads the troops, of course I know the reluctance of the prince at the moment, but what can we do under the holy decree, we can only arrange more good land mansions for them, stay away from the war, and let them live better!" Tong Guan said, in fact, the loyal army is even more afraid of him, he also wanted to infiltrate this army but returned in vain, knowing that his temple could not contain this great god, let him declare that when he pacified Hedong, he had decided to disband this army, otherwise once the change was uncontrollable, so let Zhao Ta stay in the northwest temporarily is not only the meaning of those people in the court.
"Taiwei is right, this king also wants to do this, and he played the emperor, but he has not been able to reply for a long time, once the news of the dissolution is leaked, I don't know what disaster will happen to the road!" Zhao Ta said with a frown.
"It's good that the prince can think like this, the affairs of the court and the central government are all solved by the old man, and I will do my best to help if I need to settle it!" Tong Guan felt good after listening to the first half, but the words in the back made his heart slip up, and he quickly expressed his attitude that he wanted to send this plague god away as soon as possible.
"This king doesn't want to compete with the people in the east of the river, and these people in the army are also wild, find a quiet place in the river for them to live, they can spend the rest of their lives safely, and it is not in vain to fight with this king!" Zhao Ta said gloomily, but his heart blossomed, just waiting for your words, after the people in the court and the central government think about it, I don't know what tricks Lu Dao will make!
"Okay, the prince can rest assured, the old man will definitely make every effort to promote, and the prince will live in peace in the northwest for a while!" Tong Guan immediately agreed, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, as if he had been earned by this young man...
