Feng Shining's identity is very special. Especially to the point that even Liu Baosheng, a member of the military, is familiar with the chief of the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Kui naturally didn't know about this person, so he could only obediently listen to Liu Baosheng's introduction.

The eunuchs of the Northern Song Dynasty are famous for nothing more than a few people, Guo Huai and Chen Lin, these two are famous because of a story that has been passed down for thousands of years, the tanuki changed the prince; There are also Li Xian and Tong Guan, these two people are very strange and have become the commanders of the Northwest Army.

In particular, Li Xian, who even had jurisdiction over the financial power for a time, and reduced the fiscal expenditure to 60% of the original, reversing the financial deficit of the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and achieved remarkable results.

A group of civil servants were forced by this to impeach him.

You are just a waste person, and you actually caused a group of two-list jinshi to the point that they have no face to see people in terms of IQ, so how can the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty live?

In fact, Li Xian's method is very simple, the military expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty accounts for seventy percent of the tax, as long as the military expenditure is reduced by half, the financial expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty can be reduced to about sixty percent of the original. And Li Xian's method is very simple, give priority to the supply of troops that can fight. offended the civil officials and squeezed the benefits of the generals, and the ending of this one was naturally very bad.

As for Tong Guan, he is too famous. He has military merits, and even his military merits are better than most of the waste generals of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is a disciple of Li Xian. The loss is in the Great Song Dynasty, if it was in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this person who saw Li Xian had to shout: "Dad!" ”

Of course, he is also a traitor.

In fact, there is no way for him to become a traitor, and there is no way for him to become a traitor, and Song Huizong, the fallen monarch of the country, is counted as one in the court, and he is basically a traitor, and no one can escape.

Moreover, the eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty are very strange, with very rich experience, some are generals, some manage finances, some manage river works, engage in small inventions, etc., there are all kinds of eunuchs. It seems that there is no root of trouble, and the IQ of the eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty has risen a lot. You must know that the Great Song Dynasty did not have an inner court system like the Ming Dynasty, and there was no gentleman in the palace who specialized in teaching eunuchs to read. It can be said that these barbaric eunuchs, through self-study, can even learn to fight, what else can't be done?

Compared with his peers, Feng Shining is much more orthodox. Listening to Liu Baosheng, Feng Shining has never been out of the palace in his life, and he has been diligent in the palace for more than 50 years, assisting four emperors. Even the Empress Dowager was quite polite to him. This is simply the big backer that God chose for the Liu family in the palace.

It stands to reason that the big patron in the court must be the emperor.

But now the little emperor is living under the female authority of his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Gao, and her mother-in-law is strictly disciplined by the Empress Dowager, and she is cautious and does not dare to make mistakes.

Even if he chooses the queen, he can't be the master.

Meng is the granddaughter-in-law of the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, and the little emperor is not happy.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager to become the backer of the Liu family, as for ...... Empress Dowager Xiang, the queen who came out of the prime minister's mansion, I am afraid that she really can't look down on the daughter of Jiangmen, and she won't be able to do it.

On the contrary, Feng Shining is not obvious, but in the palace, he is a eunuch who is his junior, and he is highly respected, as long as he says a word, he can be better than the queen mother.

If Feng Shining nodded and was willing to protect the Liu family, then it would be impossible for Liu Qingjing to have an accident in the palace.

But Liu Baosheng was a little uncertain, and asked Li Kui: "Virtuous nephew, it seems feasible according to what you said, but Manager Feng has been in the palace for so many years, and he has never heard of a bad reputation!" What if he doesn't want money? ”

"Uncle! You're too honest, how can you know if you don't give it a try? Besides, he has a good reputation because he doesn't take power. You also said that he has been in the palace for more than 50 years, and he has never been out of the palace. A eunuch like Li Xian, as soon as he left the palace, he hugged him back and forth, piercing his eyes and not saying anything, for the sake of merit, he even did not hesitate to move the interests of Jiangmen, and finally ended up miserable. But if he is a eunuch who does not fight for power and profit, who cares if he collects money and how much? ”

Li Kui explained: "In addition, most of the eunuchs are greedy for money, even if they are family members, they can't be trusted. ”

Liu Baosheng lowered his head and thought about it, it was also the same reason, nodded and admitted: "What the virtuous nephew said is that the eunuch is the real person. ”

"It's not very reliable to just send money, so let's just recognize a relative!" Li Kui instigated others to recognize his godfather, and there was no pressure at all. The eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty were not keen on recognizing their godfathers, unlike later, if the little eunuchs did not have a 'father' in the palace, they would basically have no mother with their children, and their lives would be as miserable as having no support.

The more Liu Baosheng listened, the more he didn't taste it, who wanted to be related to the eunuch? Isn't this an insult to our ancestors?

What's more, if the Liu family really did this, it might insult the royal family.

Feng Shining is the chief administrator of the palace, but he is a eunuch after all. If the Liu family recognized him as a godfather, wouldn't the emperor also have an additional godfather-in-law? This makes the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother think so?

But Li Kui felt that there was a way to do this: "Uncle! You can't patronize face, the palace is mixed, and people's hearts are unpredictable. You see, for so many years in the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been a shortage of nobles to serve in the official family, and there are not a few dragons born. But why aren't there many to feed on? ”

Liu Baosheng's heart suddenly tightened, among the palaces of the Great Song Dynasty, it has always been the most cruel. If Emperor Renzong hadn't had Chen Lin and Kou Zhu, he wouldn't have survived since he was born.

Li Kui's words seemed to have infinite magic power, which made him feel awkward to listen to, but he couldn't help but want to continue listening: "Now that my sister is favored in the palace, you should always think that the future birth of a dragon son may be the greatest, once a dragon son is born, it will be the eldest prince." And the queen is not the favorite of the official family, in case the queen has nothing to do, she will definitely hold a grudge against her sister. Of course, it doesn't matter if you compete for favor, but what if you start with your child? ”

"What a good thing this is!" Liu Baosheng was shocked, he was introduced into this misunderstanding by Li Kui, of course, it can't be regarded as a misunderstanding, but some kind of possibility that can't be seen or touched, but can't be guarded against.

The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty who never gave birth to his own son? But a group of sons who are not supported abounds.

He couldn't help but be unaware.

Liu Baosheng thinks about his daughter and his great cause, and he doesn't dare to despise it. Ruthlessly, gritted his teeth and said: "Recognize, you must recognize this relative." Even if it's for the old man to ......."

Liu Baosheng also let go, and didn't plan to ask for face anymore. According to his age, he recognized Feng Shining's godfather, and there was no problem at all. Feng Shining has been in the palace for more than 50 years, and he is in his sixties. But the problem is that it doesn't matter if you are shameless, but if you do this, what will the Empress Dowager do? The father of the grandson's favorite concubine recognized the family slave as a godfather, or is he a eunuch? Does she also have to pinch her nose to recognize this relative?

What about generation?

In terms of generation, wouldn't the Empress Dowager want to call Feng Shining's elder brother? Isn't this an eye medicine for his old man?

Li Kui stopped and said, "Uncle, don't worry, just let my sister recognize an uncle." As long as Feng Shining is willing to nod, she is naturally worry-free in the palace. Don't toss when you're old, you'd better disappear from everyone's sight until the situation becomes clear. Appearing at this time is the biggest threat to the girl. ”

"Yes, yes, what the virtuous nephew said is reasonable. If I had you by my side for advice, your uncle wouldn't have been so passive. Speaking of sadness, Liu Baosheng almost cried.

This may sound awkward, but if you think about it differently, it is easy to find that the role of eunuchs is much more useful than that of the high-ranking queen mother and the empress dowager. Especially eunuchs talk about credit! It is better to make a deal with a woman than to make a deal with a eunuch. After all, the former is too emotional, and compared to the reliable reputation of eunuchs who collect money to do things, the queen mother and the queen mother in the palace are all women. Their preferences are changeable, while the eunuchs are very simple, they only love money.

Eunuchs will not be as unattainable as the Cao family, nor will they be as noble as the Xiang family, they dare to collect all the money sent to the door, and even if the civil officials know that the eunuchs collect money, they don't care.

How can a man quarrel with a dog?

At this moment, Liu Baosheng realized that the reason why he had no clue was that he lacked a strategist like Li Kui by his side. took Li Kui's hand and said gratefully: "Virtuous nephew, you have done my uncle a great favor." ”

"But uncle, there is one more thing you need to worry about right now." Li Kui poured cold water out of place.

Liu Baosheng asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard Brother Han say that your money seems to have been sent away, and it is not clear whether it will be sent to the Meng family, but if it is really sent out, it will be difficult to come back. If you can't get this money back, I'm afraid you won't have the money to get through Feng Shining's relationship. Li Kui reminded.

Liu Baosheng was shocked and wailed: "Bad life! Cheng Zhijie, what are you still doing stupidly? Quick, get ready to chase your eldest brother-in-law back! ”

"My money!"
