Chapter Eighty-Eight: Sharpening the Knife and Blessing King (1)
There is no governor in Henan, and the governor is a feudal official who combines administrative, military, supervision and judicial powers, so Guo Zengguang is the highest-ranking court official in Henan Province.
The dignified members of the second grade, but they were respectful and commendable to Tian Ergeng, who had already stepped down as the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Not for anything else, just because he is also a member of the eunuch party, he is also extremely stubborn to Wei Zhongxian, and he has only been governor for more than a month, so he can't wait to set up a shrine for Wei Zhongxian in Kaifeng, and he also demolished a large number of houses for this purpose.
It is precisely because he knows how to please Wei Zhongxian that he is so prosperous, and naturally he also knows the status of Wu Biao led by Tian Ergeng in the eunuch party, which has little to do with whether they are still in Jinyiwei.
After all, it was a family, so the two sides did not have too much politeness, and Guo Zengguang also knew that Tian Ergeng used this way to meet him, and he must have something important to cooperate with.
So, in order to show his loyalty to the eunuchs, he took the initiative to say: "The two adults came this time, but do you have something important to order?" ”
Sure enough, hearing this, Tian Ergeng's heart eased, and he was afraid that what happened in the past two months would make some people afraid of the fall of their father-in-law, so they would have different hearts.
Before this, he carefully learned from his ears and eyes, although this Guo Zengguang had also inquired about what happened in Jingshi many times, but he had no other bad intentions, so this person was still credible at the moment.
In fact, as long as Guo Zengguang did not clearly stand up and betray the eunuch party, Tian Ergeng felt that he could use it, and he would not let him know the core content of this matter anyway.
And for people like Guo Zengguang, as long as they don't have to take too many risks, they will definitely not dare to disobey the will of the Chitose Lord.
After all, the limelight has passed, and Chitose Ye is still safe and sound, which in itself speaks a lot.
So, Tian Ergeng immediately smiled and said, "Where does Lord Guo say, don't dare to take orders." It's just that my father-in-law received the will of Banzai and ordered me to come and handle a case, isn't this Henan the boundary of Lord Guo? I just want to let Mr. Guo help me with one or two, and I'll make it convenient. ”
It turned out to be a decree promulgated by Banzai, and it was specially handed over to Grandpa Wei to do it, it seems that Banzai still trusts Grandpa Wei.
Guo Zengguang's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly said: "The two adults are too outward, if there is anything, you can send someone to inform you, why bother to go in person." ”
said so, but he knew that this matter must not be simple, otherwise there was no need to be so cautious.
Tian Ergeng pondered for a moment and said, "Therefore, the matter is very important, so I have to come to visit in person." ”
Guo Zengguang made a somewhat surprised look, and then said earnestly: "I see, the two adults say it's okay, the lower officials will do their best." ”
The dignified members from the second rank all claim to be subordinate officials, which shows that they are extremely flattering.
Although Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun said that they couldn't bear it on their faces, they were very satisfied in their hearts, and they liked the feeling of being high and feared when they were in Jinyiwei.
However, the matter is important at the moment, and now is not the time to relax his vigilance, Tian Ergeng said with a serious expression: "Lord Guo, this matter is related to King Fu, don't easily reveal it to outsiders." ”
Guo Zengguang was shocked, he really didn't expect this, how could he want to check the king of Fu? It's still the will of Long Live Mansion, but I haven't heard of any major events that have happened in the Fuwang Mansion this year?
Of course, in his heart, he instinctively thinks that robbing people's daughters, encroaching on private land, etc. is not a big deal at all, after all, this kind of thing, not to mention happening every day, is not uncommon.
If you really want to check, you don't have to wait until now, King Fu has been doing it for more than ten years.
So, he hurriedly said, "This is nature." It's just that the lower officials are very ashamed, and they don't know what King Fu has done recently. ”
Tian Ergeng was taken aback, and immediately counted the crimes of the Fuwang Mansion.
Guo Zengguang was stunned, is it really just these things? Why do you only want to track it down now? So he said with some embarrassment: "The two adults, I really don't hide it, more than ten years before Xia Guan took office, the Fuwang Mansion has been like this, and it has not stopped for a moment, and no one cares." ”
"So, after Xia Guan took office as the governor of Henan, it was inconvenient to meddle in this matter."
"If Banzai blames him, the lower officials may not be able to escape responsibility."
Tian Ergeng hurriedly relieved: "Master Guo doesn't have to worry, this is not an adult's fault, and he will not be blamed." ”
"Because the rebellion of Wang Er in Shaanxi has intensified, Banzai is worried that King Fu's move will also provoke a popular uprising, so he has to send me and others to investigate, also to appease the people."
Guo Zengguang sighed lightly, I see.
Immediately, he asked, "How can I find out?" ”
Tian Ergeng said lightly: "The Shi family, the Huang family." ”
Guo Zengguang suddenly understood, because the Shi family and the Huang family are the two most favored doglegs in the Fuwang Mansion, they took refuge in the Fuwang Mansion early, and according to the will of the Fu Wang, they oppressed the good and the skillful, and they rushed forward with many evil deeds in the Fuwang Mansion.
is also like this, with the help of the golden sign of King Fu, the two families have also become the two wealthy families in Luoyang, and even the government can't afford to provoke them, let alone others.
It seems that Banzai is ready to use these two dog legs to appease the people's anger.
However, he was a little worried, you beat other people's lackeys, and then pat your ass and leave, and then King Fu will spill his anger on my head, what should I do?
It seemed that seeing Guo Zengguang's worries, Tian Ergeng said with a smile: "Lord Guo doesn't have to worry about offending King Fu, as long as this matter is done, King Fu can't help Lord Guo." ”
Guo Zengguang's heart lit up, this is not to raise himself one more liter and transfer away from Henan, only in this way, the Fu King who is powerful and blessed in Henan has no way to help himself.
In fact, there is another possibility, but he doesn't dare to think in this direction at all.
Immediately, he put his mind at ease and hurriedly said, "Then the lower official will be sent by the two adults." ”
"There's Lord Lao Guo."
Next, the group stopped chatting and immediately began to discuss a concrete plan of action.
In the afternoon of the same day, Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun left Kaifeng first.
The next day, Guo Zengguang personally led a large number of officials from Kaifeng Mansion to Luoyang, Henan Prefecture, and at the same time ordered the guerrilla general Chen Yongfu to lead 1,500 soldiers to follow behind, in case of emergency.
After all, Luoyang is the base camp of King Fu, and there are many slaves, so it is inevitable that conflicts will not arise.
Tian Ergeng and the other five biao have already converged, and they have prepared some things that need to be prepared, and they are waiting to show their talents.
The governor suddenly moved the crowd and came to Henan Mansion without warning, and it was naturally difficult to hide from everyone, which was also the reason why Tian Ergeng and Guo Zengguang were separated.
Yin Mingyi, the governor of Henan Prefecture, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went out of Luoyang City to greet him in person.
After Guo Zengguang pretended to be polite, he immediately dragged Yin Mingyi and went straight to the division and the Huang family.
