Chapter 218, the eighth captain of the West Garden (ask for collection, subscription)

Of course, Zhang Rang will not stay in the mansion all the time, but the people in his mansion can contact him. Liu Feng spent 500 gold, and exaggerated the seriousness of the matter, so that Zhang asked the housekeeper in the house to contact his master.

So in the evening, Zuo Feng arrived at the post house again.

"Father-in-law Zuo, I haven't seen you for two years, and you've always been fine?" Liu Feng smiled when he saw this little yellow door. In his opinion, this little eunuch who can be settled with money is still very easy to deal with.

"Thanks to the Hou Ye, everything is fine. Hou Ye came to the court this time, I'm afraid it will bring good news! Zuo Feng smiled as he took a slip handed over by Liu Feng and glanced at it, which said 5,000 gold. He knew that this was a benefit that Liu Feng had given him.

"There is some good news, but I still need to tell Your Majesty in person, and I will trouble Zhang Hou again." Liu Feng got into Zuo Feng's carriage and drove towards Zhang Rang's mansion.

Zhang Rang has changed a little, he has become more wealthy, and the emperor has been more pampered by these eunuchs, and their lives have been very comfortable in the past two years.

"Is there anything wrong with you coming this time? Is there a settlement in Yizhou? After seeing the ceremony, Zhang Rang asked.

This time, he didn't receive any money, and he didn't have any promises, and the reason why he was willing to come to see Liu Feng was because Liu Feng had the responsibility of visiting Yizhou. In the past two years, His Majesty has mentioned the matter of Yizhou several times.

"Yes, there is already news in Yizhou, and Xiaguan's fleet has also arrived in Yizhou and is communicating with the local Yiren. According to His Majesty's orders, the lower officials rushed to report the news as soon as possible -- this was what His Majesty had instructed at the beginning. If you go through the normal procedure, I don't know how long it will take to see Your Majesty, so I also asked Lord Hou for help to let Your Majesty know the news of the arrival of the lower officials. Liu Feng pleaded.

"Why does Ben Hou want to help you get through? What's in it for Benhou? Your Majesty is quite attentive to you, so there's no need for Ben Hou to train himself to be an exceptional enemy, right? Zhang Rang said coldly.

"Master Hou's words are wrong!" Liu Feng Zhengse said, "The matter of visiting Yizhou was instructed by His Majesty, and the arrival of the lower officials will be reported to His Majesty sooner or later." Rather than that His Majesty was unhappy because he learned the news too late at that time, it was better for Hou Ye to be the first to tell him, His Majesty was happy, and he would naturally reward Hou Ye. ”

"As for Hou Ye's worries, there is actually no need at all. Xiaguan is a stranger and a relative of the Han family, so it is normal for His Majesty to have some interest in Xiaguan, especially since Xiaguan is responsible for the tasks assigned by His Majesty. ”

"But no matter how much the lower official is trusted by His Majesty, he can't compare with the Hou Ye! The lower official is a foreign minister, thousands of miles away, how can he compare to the Hou Ye and His Majesty getting along day and night. His Majesty's most trusted people are still the lieutenant officials of Hou Ye, otherwise, it would be impossible for the newly built Eighth School of the West Garden to be headed by Jian Shuo! ”

"Therefore, Xia Guan and Hou Ye have no competitive relationship, but can help each other, so that they can be more invincible in the DPRK." Liu Feng finally concluded.

"The foreign minister befriended the lieutenant, this is the way to take trouble, are you not afraid that His Majesty will punish you?"

Zhang Rang didn't seem to be shaken by Liu Feng's words at all, but Liu Feng knew that being able to say this sentence showed that he had already made a decision in his heart, or a decision that was beneficial to him.

"If Master Hou doesn't say it, Father-in-law Zuo doesn't say it, the lower officials will naturally not be stupid enough to talk nonsense, who else will know?" Liu Feng said with a smile, "Even if others know that the lower official is coming to the Hou Ye's mansion, they will only think that the lower official is coming to befriend the Hou Ye." In recent years, there have been more people who have befriended the Hou Ye, and there is more than one lower official. ”

"Hehe, what you said is right, I think no one dares to play tricks in front of Ben Hou!" Zhang Rang smiled and glanced at Zuo Feng who was standing.

"The villain is all under the orders of the Hou Ye." Zuo Feng hurriedly made a statement.

Zhang Rang nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Liu Feng, and said: "However, if you let Ben Hou pass the word, won't you just draw such a big cake out of thin air, there is no benefit, right?" ”

"Then the next official will give Hou Ye some gifts, 100,000 gold, what do you think?" The shot is 10 million, and Liu Feng is distressed to death. But he didn't dare to be less, it was hard to say whether he would accept it without Zhang Rang, if he thought it was Liu Feng's insult to him, it would be a bad thing.

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Rang was a little surprised. In fact, even if Liu Feng cries poor and can't get the money, he will still pass on the news, this is his original idea, and the reason why he resigned was to take advantage of Liu Feng and improve his status. After all, Liu Feng was right, even if he didn't want to, Liu Feng could go to someone else, and eventually let the emperor know.

After all, in the court, it is not only the eunuchs who are willing to pat the emperor's ass, but also those ministers. As long as Liu Feng puts down his bottom and begs, there will always be someone willing to do it.

"You tell Ben Hou about the situation in Yizhou, and the Marquis of Japan will report to His Majesty tomorrow." Zhang Rang said.

"Master Hou just has to tell Your Majesty that the lower official has arrived, and the matter of Yizhou has been settled, so there is no need to talk about the rest, I think Your Majesty will summon the lower official." Liu Feng replied.

"You mean Ben Hou can't know? Is there anything else that hasn't been done in this? In that case, why do you bother to find Benhou? Zhang Rang said angrily.

"Lord Hou is angry, it's not that the lower officials refuse to say it, but His Majesty said that the matter of Yizhou will be reported to him as soon as possible, and no one of them will be allowed to disclose it, and the lower officials have no choice." Liu Feng pretended to be helpless, "If you tell the Hou Ye, Your Majesty will ask about it, and it will be difficult for the lower officials to say!" ”

"Well, just think of it as your 100,000 gold reward, Ben Hou doesn't ask." Zhang Rang said with relief.

In fact, he didn't care much about Yizhou's affairs, he was a eunuch, no matter what happened to Yizhou, it didn't have much to do with him, and the reason why he was angry was because he felt that he was not respected. Eunuchs, there is something missing, always sensitive.

"By the way, Ben Hou sees that you are quite rich, do you want to expand your fiefdom a little? 500,000 gold, Ben Hou will help you do this. Zhang Rang suddenly said again.

"Is it so cheap?" Liu Feng couldn't believe it, this was the title before the collapse of the Han Dynasty.

"Of course, as long as what you said about Yizhou is good news!" Zhang Rang said with a smile.

"Okay, even if it is bankrupt, the lower official has to do it, and the Hou Ye will send someone to withdraw the money from the lower official in a while." Liu Feng said viciously.

The system really can't see the money he has accumulated in his hands, but what he throws out is something that Liu Feng can't refuse.

Not only can he farm prestige, but he can also farm his territory, even if it is not his mastery now.

The next day, near noon, a little eunuch came to the post house to pick him up and enter the palace. This time, they went to the West Garden.

Liu Hong's condition is worse than two years ago, and it seems that he will not live long.

"How? Did you really find Yizhou? Come on, I'll hear it. Zhang Rang was on the side, and Liu Hong had to pretend that he didn't know anything.

Liu Feng also followed the performance, narrating little by little how he sent people to sea by boat, how many failures he had, how many ships he lost, and finally found Yizhou. Moreover, there were Yi people and Han people on Yizhou, which were divided and established small cities to attack each other. He also said that before he set off, he had sent troops to pacify Yizhou.

"Okay, very good, Zhiyuan really lived up to my expectations, the legend of Yizhou has existed for thousands of years, and finally appeared in my hands, this is an immortal achievement!" After listening to Liu Feng's performance patiently, Liu Hong praised, "If you want any reward, just say it." ”

"Your Majesty is in charge!" Liu Feng said.

"Okay, I promised you before, when you find Yizhou, I will promote you to be a taishou. But it has not been confirmed yet, and there must be people in the court who oppose it. In this way, upgrade your title by one level and make you a marquis! Liu Hong said that this had been discussed with Zhang Rang before.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Feng thanked.

"You deserve it." Liu Hong said, "Let's talk about it, Yizhou is an island, how big is it?" ”

"It's enough to compare with a county, but the population is too small, at most the population of a county." Liu Feng said.

"In this way, whether the county or the county will have to be discussed carefully." Liu Hong said, "Zhang Changshi, I have something to explain to Zhiyuan alone, you go out and guard it first." ”

"Again!" Zhang Rang was puzzled in his heart, what did the emperor want to say to this stranger, but he still went out according to his words.

As soon as the door was closed, Liu Hong returned to the same appearance he had when he was alone with Liu Feng before, he had no manners, half lying on the couch, and asked, "Ready?" ”

"Yes," Liu Feng replied, "Yizhou has been completely pacified and integrated, and His Majesty can set up counties at any time, and no one will object." Yongning is also already in control, and it can be regarded as having a certain strength. ”

"That's good, I feel like my body is getting worse and worse now, I may die at any time, and some things have to be arranged earlier." Liu Hong said.

Seeing that Liu Feng wanted to speak and stopped, he smiled, "You don't have to say anything to rest at ease, take care of your body, etc., you strangers know my situation better." In the past two years, I have spent much more time with the little prince than the eldest prince, and they even think that I will be biased towards the little prince on the issue of establishing a prince, but in fact, what no one knows is that I am telling him about the troubles of being an emperor and cultivating his interest in other aspects, so that he will no longer think about being an emperor. ”

"Your Majesty, how old is the little prince, there are too many variables, what is the use of talking about these now?" Liu Feng said.

"I know, I'm just planting some seeds in advance. Soon after, I will give him the title of king, and let him go directly to the fiefdom, cutting off some people's thoughts. Liu Hongdao.

"Your Majesty thinks?" Liu Feng faintly guessed.

"King Yizhou, how about you being the prime minister?" Liu Hongdao.

"It's not right, only we know the current situation in Yizhou, and others don't know yet, so we can't just put a child a few years old there. Let's seal the king of Huiji first, and then change it after a while. Liu Feng said.

"I think you're always trying to climb up!" Liu Hongdao.

That's right, the little prince became the king of Huiji, then he would naturally be the minister of Huiji, and he could be in charge of a county justifiably.

"I'm an alien, it's nature, doesn't Your Majesty know!" Liu Feng said with a smile, "Only when I am strong can I protect the little prince!" ”

"Come on, I don't blame you. This is not to be said beforehand, are you interested in becoming a cadet, a new military cadet? Liu Hong asked.

"Huh? What the? Hasn't the West Park Army been trained yet? Liu Feng said in surprise. (To be continued.) )
