I don't know, what kind of stubble are you picking up?

Tong Guan snorted coldly again, with a kind of resentment and helplessness of being bullied by dogs in Pingyang. There is no way that the backstage in the palace has fallen, and there is no hope of easing after ten years. But it doesn't mean that Tong Guan is a temperamentless person, he also has his own dignity, especially when dealing with small people.

Eunuch.

A bearded eunuch.

The scourge of the bearded great eunuchs.

That's right, he is Tong Guan, the Tong Guan in history, the Tong Guan who is still unlucky.

Tong Guan's bad luck started more than ten years ago, he was born as a disciple of the head Li Xian, in Li Xian's most favored period, this has been out of the power that a eunuch should have, and his influence has directly reached the court. His talent under Li Xian is the most prominent and the most valued talent. At that time, Tong Guan's eyes were higher than the top, and the tea supervisor, salt supervisor, iron supervisor, and oil and water were not in his eyes. He wanted to inherit Li Xian's position in the Western Army, recover Western Xia, and achieve a great cause.

Tong Guan's ideals are very high, a eunuch who wants to be the commander of a war zone. He also thinks about destroying Western Xia all day long and expanding his territory for thousands of miles.

But with Li Xian in front, there is no problem with him having this kind of thought.

Unfortunately, Li Xian fell.

As soon as the backer fell, he was dumbfounded. There is a way that the wall is pushed down by everyone, and after Li Xian's pillar fell, it affected not only the people around him, but also many people who were classified as Li Xian's followers. Especially Li Xian is a eunuch, and his party members are either generals in the army or eunuchs in the palace, and in the eyes of civil officials, they are all goods that are not a pity to die.

In order to survive, Tong Guan resolutely returned to the palace, starting from the bottom of the small yellow gate, when he was already thirty years old, dormant for nearly ten years, before he was saved from death.

But this delay is ten years.

When people reach middle age, Tong Guan thinks that he is not confused, and he is still an inner yellow door, so he can't sleep at night, when can he show his ambitions? It wasn't until Liu was favored by the official family in the palace that he saw the opportunity. But in the circumstances, this was not an opportunity, and he needed to wait, waiting for someone who could break the game to appear. At that time, the Liu family was just a loner in the palace, and it was difficult for her to even protect herself. If it weren't for the official family to protect her, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to survive a day in the palace.

The palace is always the most dangerous place, and any mistake will make people lose their lives in vain.

Liu's identity is the same as all the female officials who entered the palace with her, they are all the candidates for the queen mother's daughter-in-law for her grandson, and the family background is similar.

After the Meng family was determined by the Empress Dowager as the queen mother's candidate, the Liu family had no chance at all. It stands to reason that he should go and befriend Meng. But Tong Guan didn't do this, on the one hand, after the rise of the Meng clan among female officials, there was no shortage of stammering people; In addition, he was not optimistic about Meng, because the officials were not satisfied with Meng. He still needs to continue to wait, because he knows that the only person in the palace who can have the last laugh is one person, the official family. However, the current official family has no power, and he is still under the control of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. But what about when he came to power?

Opportunities always wait.

Most...... Let's waste a few more years!

But recently, some of the actions of the chief manager Feng in the palace made him have a strong interest in the Liu family, Feng Shicai, who has never asked about trivial matters in the palace, dialed a small yellow door that was often called by his side to the Liu family, which is a strong signal that Feng Shicai wants to protect the Liu family. Whether it's true or not, as long as Manager Feng doesn't come forward to explain, then it's true. The court is like this, true or false, you may never hear a word of truth, you need to figure it out yourself. For Feng Shicai, 20,000 guan is only worth running errands for a small yellow door next to him in front of the Liu family. This amount of money is not enough for him to come forward in person.

For Tong Guan, this is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He resolutely threw himself into Liu's disciples. At the same time, it acts as a liaison between the Liu family and the outside of the palace. Tong Guan does not lack means or experience, what he lacks is opportunities. After taking refuge in Liu's family, he immediately became a think tank around Liu's side. You must know that there is not even a person around Liu who has an idea, and Tong Guan's appearance is like her savior.

This time he came to Yizhou, more to get acquainted with Liu Baosheng, after all, the official family is likely to promote the Liu family in a few years, at least it is also a favorite concubine, although Liu Baosheng is not worthy of the name, but it is not much worse. Besides, it's not that the official family of the Great Song Dynasty has not done it after it was abolished, and no one knows what the future holds.

Hurry up and hurry, and finally came to Yizhou.

met Li Kui.

Tong Guan has a very bad impression of Li Kui, a kind of bear child who suddenly jumped out to block him, and didn't blink in front of him to help say a word.

But he is very ambivalent that Li Kui is not a bad person. After staying in the palace for a long time, Tong Guan doesn't know what a person can become, but what kind of bad it can become, Tong Guan is somewhat bottomed.

Soon, it was the turn to check Li Kui, military horses, war knives, and half-sized sons, at first glance, he was a Lian family, all kinds of signs showed that Li Kui was not easy to mess with, it was likely that the son-in-law of which family was celebrating the New Year, and he came back to shake his majesty.

"Xiao Langjun, let's enter the city!"

"Didn't you check?"

"Xiao Langjun said with a smile, you don't have any goods, you don't need to check it."

With a flattering smile, Li Kui was happy, dropped a silver bean, and said, "Give the brothers two catties of wine to keep out the cold." ”

Li Kui's move confirmed the tax collector's speculation about him, and nodded flatteringly: "Xie Xiaolangjun rewards." ”

At the moment of approaching, Li Kui secretly said to the tax collector: "Look at the man and woman in the back, there is no outsider, at first glance, it is a fat sheep, and the goods on the car are not worth a lot, but this number." ”

Li Kui made a gesture at random and swaggered into the city. Tong Guan doesn't want to see him, he doesn't want to see Tong Guan? Just by virtue of Tong Guan's unpretentious appearance towards him, he was not angry, and secretly held a grudge, could he spare this dead eunuch?

Besides, he doesn't think that Tong Guan has a connection with him, and it will not be possible in this life.

After Li Kui entered the city, he was immediately attracted by the city of the Great Song Dynasty, Linyi is not Yishui County, and the city is many times larger. Not to mention the cleanliness of the streets, the endless flow of pedestrians, the bright lights on the long streets, and the strong festive atmosphere is blowing in the face.

bought a set of new clothes that looked quite plain at random, and Li Kui found an inn on the street.

Throwing down the money, he instructed the shopkeeper to prepare hot water.

It's not suitable to go to Liu's Mansion tonight, so I can only catch up early tomorrow.

What he didn't expect was that Tong Guan was tossed at the gate of the city for a long time before entering the city, and the girl Sang Hongye, who came with him after the shop, immediately pointed to the old horse who was eating grass leisurely in the stable: "Ah Weng, do you think this looks like the black boy's horse?" ”

Tong Guan fixed his eyes and saw that it was not the variegated horse that looked cheap.

Sang Hongye said excitedly: "I have to give that black boy a little color, let him offend people indiscriminately." They were interrogated at the city gate for a long time, and finally Tong Guan endured the pain and gave two bribes of wine money before they were able to escape.

However, the horse that Li Kui rode did not regard Tong Guan and the others as opponents, but looked at a little jujube mare who had taken off the leash from the car with big eyes, and the huge horse's eyes were full of peach blossoms. I saw it snorting hot and greeting warmly. Herod ——, weeping. seems to be shouting: "Come on, old sister, take a look at my brother's food, wheat bran mixed with fried beans, it's fragrant, let's eat some together?" ”

Eating and drinking is secondary, the point is that it is enthusiastic and a little ill-intentioned.

Tong Guan was also angry, he probably guessed what Li Kui had said in front of the tax collector's ear before. But he is a person who does great things, how can he be blinded by a moment of unhappiness?

He said in a deep voice: "Don't do too much, it's important to get down to business." I'll go out, don't walk around at the inn, remember not to trouble that kid, so as not to expose your identity. ”

He instructed Sang Hongye not to make trouble in the inn, this is not Bianliang, and no one will have much awe of the eunuchs. As the so-called emperor is far away, the magistrates are bold one by one, especially when the civil officials hear that the eunuchs go to the mansion of the military generals, they will not let go of digging three feet into the ground.

Linyi City, Liu's Mansion.

Huaiyang military capital Yu Hou is a native of Linyi, since he was squeezed out by two bosses in the army, he has been stationed in Linyi City. Anyway, there are many generals in the Great Song Dynasty who are not in the barracks. Some commanders even often live in the capital, and no one cares.

Besides, Huaiyang is not a Zhending Mansion, let alone the West, there is no war, and the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty also turn a blind eye and do not care about the military generals leaving their posts without permission. As long as the military generals don't want to make meritorious contributions, they will ride on the neck of the civil official to make a fortune. For civil servants, it is all acceptable. Anyway, the imperial court raised Jiangmen as a pig, raising one is just raising, and raising a group is also raising.

In front of Liu's Mansion, two huge red lanterns were hung high and candles were lit, setting off the gatehouse even higher.

And in the gatehouse, an old soldier and the fat man were talking with each other, and in front of them were some wine and food, and the fat man was Han Dahu, and it was not wrong to say that he was waiting for Li Kui in the gatehouse. It is also possible that he was not treated well in his father-in-law's house and came to find Qingjing.

"You're interested!"

Han Dahu was already slightly drunk, squinted his eyes at the uninvited guests, and opened his mouth to ask, "Who are you!" ”

"I'm coming from Yanfu Pavilion in the capital, and I'm going to inform the master." Tong Guan didn't talk much, and found a place to sit down.

Han Dahu listened to the place a little familiar, and dropped a sentence and said, "Wait." ”

Soon, Liu Baosheng came in a hurry with the whole family, there was no place for Yanfu Pavilion at all, but there was a Yanfu Palace in the palace, which was where his daughter lived. This place is supposed to be a place for the emperor and empress to spend their daily pastime, but now he is only nine years old when he ascends the throne, so naturally there is no queen. In addition, the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao prepared a hundred daughters-in-law for her grandson, so she was sent to Yanfu Palace to be raised.

Han Dahu didn't know about Yanfu Pavilion, but Liu Baosheng knew that it should be Yanfu Palace. So there was a commotion in Liu's house, and the whole family, with and without identity, was pulled together by him, and they all appeared in the front yard.

Liu Baosheng glared at his son-in-law Han Dahu angrily, and then he arched his hand and said: "Snub the angel, open the middle door, and put the incense case." ”

Tong Guan was embarrassed, he was standing at the entrance of the gatehouse, he was considered to have entered the door, right?

In addition, he only came secretly, not with a holy decree, it doesn't matter if he opens the middle door, and the Liu family is not a prominent family, he deserves it. But the incense case was too much, and he hurriedly stopped Liu Baosheng from putting on a posture to receive the holy decree: "General Liu, our family is entrusted by Liu Jieyu to bring a letter from home." ”

Liu Baosheng was disappointed, he thought that he was going to receive the holy decree and go to the capital to be the ruler!

was stunned on the spot, embarrassed.
