Chapter 69: The Struggle for Political Power

This question is very acute, this eunuch should not know the situation at the time, so this time, I just want to confirm that the imperial court has sent so many soldiers and horses to block the Yellow Turban Army, and there is no backhand.

If not, then how will Empress Dowager He choose, whether to give up the Han dynasty and fly away, or give it up at this moment?

"Father-in-law, you also said that it is inconvenient to bring things in this palace outside the palace, and it is not up to me, a petty official, to stay in the queen mother, it depends on what she means, do you say? As for what we say, I'm really embarrassed, Cheng wants to tell you, I'm afraid you don't dare to listen! ”

At this moment, Cheng Liu is already planning to be anti-guest-oriented.

After the carriage was silent for a long time, the eunuch said leisurely: "There is a teahouse in front, and Cheng Guanren is tired from traveling, why don't you go there to rest first?" ”

Cheng Liu wanted to refuse, but there were people standing around this eunuch, and judging by their momentum, they should not be eunuchs, maybe they were guards of the forbidden army.

Since they are all people in the palace, this skill is not something that can be compared with those people I just met.

"It's okay to drink tea, but I only have the kung fu of a stick of incense."

"Haha, then Cheng Guanren, please!"

Cheng Liu got on his horse and followed the carriage forward.

In another wood, a few people were lying on the ground examining the bodies, and after a few moments, they heard someone ask, "Are you still chasing?" ”

"Those are the people in the palace, unlike these Yellow Turban Army, our identity is inconvenient, go back and report first."

"Will there be any danger to Cheng Gongzi?"

"No, there are several forces following in the dark, even if he wants to do it, someone will stop him."

After speaking, a few people did their best, and they disappeared into the woods with a little effort.

The tea shop was actually not far away, but the speed of the carriage was not fast, and it was dragged until half a pillar of incense.

Cheng Liu was anxious, and there were beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead, but he was uncertain about the identity of this person, although he was a person in the palace, but he had dealt with himself with the yellow turban thief before, even if he was not in a group, he didn't seem to be a good person.

As for the eunuchs in the palace, Cheng Liu has always had very little contact, but after collecting more intelligence, he realized that the real decision on the affairs of the palace was in the hands of the eunuchs.

Even if the people sitting in high positions have great power, they must be instructed to do it, if they don't do it, as long as these people are tight-lipped, the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor will not know anything.

Thinking wildly, a person had already gotten out of the carriage in front of him.

His eunuch mansion is a little different from the one on TV, it looks much gorgeous, and its own feminine aura gives people a very weird feeling.

It wasn't until I sat down for a cup of tea that I settled down a bit.

The eunuch sat across from him, Orchid finger clasping the teacup, staring at him with a smile.

Cheng Liu felt that his goosebumps fell to the ground, and hurriedly asked: "I have drunk the tea, and the people have seen it, father-in-law, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

"The palace sent the Praetorian Guard to Yanjing Division Pass to strictly investigate, Cheng Guanren has 20,000 troops and horses stationed in Hangu Pass, General He was annoyed when he heard this, this Beijing Division Pass still needs you a Danyang County guard to garrison? So on the same day, he sued the emperor and threatened to remove you from the official position of the county guard! ”

Cheng Liu didn't know about this matter, it turned out that He Jin's relatives wanted to withdraw their soldiers and horses, and they also wanted to take their official positions.

But although the Empress Dowager He didn't say this, she also implied that she had saved the soldiers and horses, so why did this eunuch talk about it?

At this time, the tea cup held by the orchid's finger was slapped directly on the table by his father-in-law.

"Our family understands in our hearts that General He will not come sooner or later, but it is at this juncture that he has no intention of rebellion, and our family believes that he has no private power, and no one in the court believes it. So we couldn't be angry, and after discussing a few words with the Queen Mother, we saved Cheng Guanren's soldiers and horses, so that they were not incorporated into General He's pass guards. ”

Cheng Liu couldn't help coughing dryly, and asked in some surprise, "Then I want to thank you?" ”

Whether this is the case or not, the facts are no longer important, what is even more strange is that these words directly tell him, is there anything unspeakable that cannot be hidden?

Sure enough, the father-in-law waved his sleeves, rolled up the cuffs flatly, and said: "Our family's question just now is actually a temptation, if you are more General He and his group, then this bowl of tea is drunk for nothing today, but if you stand on the side of the Queen Mother, then this tea will taste good." ”

Cheng Liu touched the sweat on his head and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"He Jin entered Beijing, and all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were in his hands, and who was He Jin? The people who have the deepest relationship with relatives outside the palace, don't look at the people who are usually not above the temple, but if a martial artist is reckless, there is nothing they dare not do in this world. For example, he stationed soldiers and horses in various passes, and if the people in our palace wanted to leave in the future, they would have to pass his pass. ”

"In other words, he holds the power of life and death in our family! When Zhang Jiao's rebels will break into Luoyang, and whether there is such an opportunity, no one knows, but everyone knows in their hearts that there is a sharp sword hanging on the roof, which may fall down at any time, and it will fall on our heads impartially. ”

Cheng Liu now understands that this eunuch is not He Jin's person, nor is it Queen Mother He's person.

He was just a pawn in the eunuch regime, and the purpose was to protect the eunuchs.

But after the abolition of the previous party members, the dispute between relatives and eunuchs has been settled, under such a pattern, even if He Jin has his own careful thoughts, he will not show it in front of the civil and military officials in the court, what this eunuch is worried about is probably not the case.

"General He Cheng didn't know about it before, so I don't know what his recent movements are?"

After thinking about it, Cheng Liu is still on the safe side, so let's try it out.

"Cheng Guanren really doesn't know?"

Seeing that the wonderful show was coming, Cheng Liu was really panicked before, so he said bluntly: "General He can enter the Beijing Division, isn't it the Queen Mother's speech?" He can worship the general, doesn't he rely on the eunuch regime of the queen mother? To tell the truth, although everyone is in danger in the current situation in Beijing, your eunuch regime is the most solid, and you are at odds with the Queen Mother on the surface, but what about in private? ”

Aside from the fact that Empress Dowager He had to do it after the death of Emperor Ling in history, and took the eunuch regime and party henchmen as his right-hand man, under the current situation, Cheng Liu can still feel that Empress Dowager He still trusts the eunuchs very much.

A few days ago, when I entered Beijing, although the eunuchs had their own ill intentions, after all, they were the henchmen cultivated by the Queen Mother herself, and in the battle against their relatives, the most sacrificed were naturally the interests of the eunuchs, but speaking of which, the most stable secret treasure on their hands was still the Empress Dowager He.
