"So, you should go to the old man in the palace more often!"

"You mean the Ancestor?"

"Who else but him?"

Tong Guan smiled, he was showing kindness to Hao Sui, and at the same time telling him that he had made a decision and would not just say or do it. If Hao Sui intends to return to Beijing, and His Majesty will be on duty in front of the palace, Hao Sui will have a chance.

Thinking of this, Hao Sui couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose, he smelled the smell of the rotten court, or the kind he liked. Unlike Tong Guan, who has great ambitions, Hao Sui's ambition is to be a dog, but the owner is the emperor. He didn't want to go to the northwest at all, let alone any military exploits, this thing was completely like a big luck for him, he couldn't predict it at all, after this luck, should he be unlucky next time?

Hao Sui held the food table, looked down at the reflection in the cup in a daze, as if his face was in the wind and sand in the northwest, and there was a trace of aging...... Will he be able to return to the Emperor's side? He didn't want to ask more questions, but according to the rules of the eunuch, the other party showed sincerity, and he must also show enough sincerity.

"Brother Tong, the Western Army you know is now strong and strong, and if you go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." Hao Suiyou sighed.

Tong Guan bowed his hand to Hao Sui and pleaded: "The younger brother implores the elder brother to solve one or two doubts." ”

It's not a question of convincing, it's that no one listens to him at all. Who is at the helm of several military roads under the jurisdiction of Yongxing Military Road?

Zhang Qi, a straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion.

Fan Chunren is a scholar of Guanwendian University.

There is also Cai Jing, which is an easy character to deal with?

Even if Tong Guan went to the northwest with the emperor's grace, most of them achieved nothing. Because they won't listen to a eunuch at all, even if the emperor comes, if he doesn't agree with them, he will still lose face.

Tong Guan saw Hao Sui's serious doubts, pinching the beard on his chin, there were really few left, and the feel was average, but this was his pride and could not be lost. Let's ask, among the eunuchs in the world, which one can keep his beard like him? After weighing in his heart for a while, Tong Guan immediately said: "Brother Hao, I'll try to mention to Concubine Xian Niangniang that you intend to return to Beijing, I don't know what to do?" ”

"There is no urgency in this matter, I will tell you about the situation in the northwest first." Hao Sui's face was slightly proud, Concubine Xian may be his only bargaining chip in Tong Guan's eyes, but Hao Sui doesn't need it. Even if it is needed, wouldn't it be better to let Cheng Zhijie go? Even if Cheng Zhijie fails, isn't there still Mrs. Liu! They are now doing business together, but to put it bluntly, this money is not taken by Cheng Zhijie alone, but the intention of filial piety to the Taishi Mansion.

Let Concubine Xian's father say it, but it is more convincing than Tong Guan, a minion.

Hao Sui said; "Today, the Western Army is mainly divided into three camps, Huanqing Road, Yanyan Road and Qinfeng Road. Don't deal with it, let's talk about Huanqing Road, you know how powerful Master Zhang is, over the years, the Great Song Dynasty has been able to win many battles in the Northwest and Western Xia, all of which are the credit of Lai Zhang, and you should also know that Master Zhang is Zhang Xiang's brother. ”

Tong Guan didn't have the mind to play Zhang Ji at all, and he couldn't think about it. Resolutely gave up and said: "I don't want to think about Huanqing Road, there is Master Zhang, and I don't have the right to speak at all." ”

Tong Guan is shrewd, his identity is just the chief eunuch in the palace, the cronies of the virtuous concubine around the emperor, if he is sent to the Western Army, his identity is the same as Hao Sui, and he will definitely command the soldiers and horses of Huanqing Road.

After all, a big man with high morality, repeated victories, and a champion background is not something that a crippled person like himself can control at all. He knew that his ability was not worth mentioning at all in front of Zhang Qi.

Huanqing Road he didn't think about it.

But what about Yan Yanlu?

You must know that this time the Western Xia and the Western Army battle, and then the Western Xia chaos, the performance of Yan Yan Road topped the Northwest Sixth Road. Going to Yan Yan Road is the most likely opportunity for Tong Guan to obtain military merits and make the emperor pay attention to them. And the head of Yan Yanlu is Fan Chunren, and the old man's prestige is still there, but his foundation has been shaken. There is no way, who made Fan Chunren the boss of the conservatives, and the conservatives are now losing in the court. He seemed to feel a little bit of hope. As for Zhou Yuan, the prefect of Yan'an Mansion, he didn't let Tong Guan take it seriously at all.

Tong Guan asked expectantly: "What about Yan Yanlu?" ”

"Yan Yan Road?" Hao Sui retold it dryly, and then looked at Tong Guan's eyes like a fool, and said in his heart: "You are also worthy of making credit on Yanyan Road?" ”

Of course, this cannot be said openly, and if you say it openly, you will offend Tong Guan.

However, speaking of Yan Yan Road, it can be regarded as Hao Sui's blessed land, when he was in the northwest, most of the time was in Yan Yan Road, since he left, it seems that there is a gap in power, but when he was in Yan Yan Road, he was a sad little person who begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, how could he speak?

As for Tong Guan, he is inferior to him.

Hao Suichang sighed: "Brother Tong, don't you understand who is in charge of Yan Yanlu? ”

"Could it be that Brother Hao has other advice?"

"Don't dare to advise." Hao Sui smiled and waved his hand, squirming his tongue like an old lady, as if there was something chewing in his mouth: "Brother, you can't see through the Tao here." Do you think it's that simple? There is the main force of the Suide army stationed on Dunyan Road, as well as the forbidden army of General Cheng, and Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses, and the three armies are the main force. The younger brother went, I'm afraid even Zhang Yu couldn't command it. ”

"Zhang Yu is just a little commander, and he still dares to argue with his younger brother?" Tong Guan frowned as if he was offended, it seemed that the local forbidden army like Zhang Yu was just a small person who was not in the stream, and he could handle the goods at will.

But Hao Sui raised his fingers and said: "Zhang Yu's forbidden army is a recruiting army after Shenzong, and it can fight well, you don't deny that Fan Xiang should always have a soldier and horse in his hands, right?" ”

Tong Guan nodded, without hesitation. No one dares to set up a civil official, even if this civil official is no longer favored, but after all, he is Fan Zhongyan's son. has also been a prime minister, even a celebrity in the palace like Tong Guan does not dare to stand up to Fan Chunren.

Hao Sui said again: "The Suide army is seconded, but the combat effectiveness is the worst, basically unable to stop the Western Xia army, and can only defend a city......

"Wait, you say the Suide army has degenerated like this?" Tong Guan's heart was cold, when he followed Li Xian in the northwest, the strength of the Suide army was still very strong.

Hao Sui shook his head helplessly and said: "Every big battle is the first to bear the brunt, and after adding Yongle City, the Suide army seems to have been targeted, and now it is stronger than the Xiang army, and it is not much stronger." If you go, you can take this army, but you basically don't have a chance to take credit. ”

"And what about the Fei Lian Army?"

"Fei Lian is the strongest and the most proud forbidden army. But do you want to kill General Cheng? If you really hurt him a little, even if you have served with Concubine Xian for many years, this affection can't withstand the anger of Concubine Xian! ”

Tong Guan hurriedly explained: "Brother Hao misunderstood, I heard from His Majesty, and it seems that he intends to transfer General Cheng to Beijing." If he leaves the northwest, won't this army be an ownerless army? ”

He thought very well, and when Cheng Zhijie left, he rushed to take over, and then the first strong army in the northwest was under his command. Realizing the authority of Li Xianda's general manager back then was a big step.

It's a pity that Hao Sui is not optimistic about Tong Guan at all, and admonished: "This army is the treasure of Your Majesty's heart, and it is the only forbidden army formed since Your Majesty came to power, and it has never been defeated. If you lead this army to defeat once, your majesty will be annoyed. Besides, even if General Cheng leaves the Fei Lian Army, you don't have a chance. In fact, General Cheng can't control this army, only Li Kui can manage it. Otherwise, where do you think the great feats come from? ”

"Isn't Li Kui the general judgment of Yan'an Mansion?"

"Who said that if you pass the verdict, you can't lead troops to war? Lu Huiqing couldn't control him before, even when Su Xiang was in Yan'an Mansion, he couldn't control him, he couldn't tell anyone, and he took Li Bingqian, who was caught by him, to Western Xia. Su scolded her mother in the government office from time to time! ”

"Won't it?" Tong Guan was dumbfounded, Su Zhe can scold people, how can this bigwig, who is also a famous man in the literary world, scold his mother? But Li Kui's courage is too big, right?

Hao Sui continued: "Fei Lian was not strong before, but in the battle of Jin Mingzhai, Li Kui led 5,000 foot soldiers and 2,000 cavalry defeated the 50,000 army of Western Xia. ”

Tong Guan said strangely: "But the little brother heard that this battle was commanded by General Cheng!" ”

Cheng Zhijie is here, but he fell off the chain, who can blame him?

Moreover, Li Kui is a civil official, if he really robs the military general's credit, wouldn't it be that the donkey is not a donkey, and the horse is not a horse, and both sides will be offended, and both sides will blame him for being in the limelight? At all, Li Kui didn't want this military exploit, but asked for the credit of civilian officials supervising the army.

On the contrary, Li Kui doesn't care in Western Xia, whatever he wants.

After all, when Li Kui was in Western Xia, he used the Western Xia people to kill the Western Xia people, and everyone in the Great Song Dynasty counted on Li Kui to harm more party members.

Tong Guan was silent, he found that he seemed to be in a hurry, and he didn't have a chance to play on his own when he went to the northwest. Leave a Qin Fenglu, when the family is Cai Jing, it is not easy to mess with. Moreover, when he was in the capital, Tong Guan knew Cai Jing's temper and was a master who said nothing, and when he went, he could only be shelved by Cai Jing. Is the flame of faith in serving the country with loyalty about to be extinguished?

Tong Guan is really anxious, seeing that the hidden dangers in the northwest are going to be divided by a group of civil officials, if he can't even drink a mouthful of soup, how depressing is this?

Hao Sui secretly glanced at Tong Guan a few times, he couldn't understand Tong Guan's thoughts, and seeing the loneliness and frustration on Tong Guan's face at this time, he believed that what Tong Guan said before was true. They are all eunuchs, how can the eunuchs easily believe what the eunuchs say?

But Hao Sui is also in trouble, do you want to help him?

Maybe Qin Fenglu is an opportunity.

Cai Jing has his own black material, and there are a lot of them, but Tong Guan is shaking and revealing it, what is the difference between him shaking and revealing it? What Cai Jing did on Qinfeng Road can only be known by him, the head of the Northwest Intelligence, even if it was Tong Guan who brought down Cai Jing in the end, everyone knew that it was the black material provided by him Hao Sui. If you don't help, if Tong Guan dies in the capital, won't he have to go to the northwest?

After weighing in his heart, Hao Sui decided that in order to stay in the capital, he decided to take a risk. deliberately dragged out his voice, and said as if he was very embarrassed: "It's easy to deal with Cai Jing, but his brother is the right ruler, if I help you, it will harm you!" ”

There is a person who can't spare Cai Jing, and Shangshu's right servant shoots Cai Bian.

"Hurt me?" Tong Guan is also a very good character who has traveled all the way in the eunuch pile, and quickly thought through Hao Sui's plan, gritted his teeth and said: "Please also ask Brother Hao to make a righteous move." ”

Since you can't go to Yanyan Road, Qinfeng Road can also be considered. After all, Tong Guan was by the emperor's side, and he could feel that Emperor Zhao Xu had the heart to deal with the land of Hehuang controlled by Qingtang Tubo. But I am afraid that I will not be able to send troops to fight within a year, after all, the Western Army has been fighting for the past two years, and the fatigue of the generals must be indispensable. The materials should also be prepared in advance and carefully pondered, this is an opportunity.

"Later, I'll ask someone from the house to deliver things to your house."

"No, I'll go with you!"

Tong Guan is a decisive person, and he will never delay what has been decided, so as not to have many dreams at night. What's more, it was too unsafe to let his subordinates send such important materials, so he immediately decided to get it himself.

"Okay!"

Hao Sui had no choice but to decide.

When Tong Guan got the evidence of Cai Jing's seizure of military horses for profit in Hao Sui's study, he thanked him: "Thanks to Brother Hao's help." ”

At this time, Hao Sui was embarrassed, and the price to deal with Cai Jing was not small: "Brother Tong, you have to think about Cai Bian well, but Shangshu's right servant shoots." Three of the six departments. If you really anger him, I'm afraid you won't be at peace in the northwest. ”

"Fortunately, he doesn't care about the household, as long as I go with the money, there is no reason why I can't buy people." Tong Guan said confidently.

Cai Bian is indeed a threat, but unlike Cai Jing, Cai Bian's discipline is still there. If he knew that Cai Jing was full of private pockets, he would definitely not attack Tong Guan. will even ask the emperor to resign because of his brother's fault, regardless of whether he is sincere or not, there will definitely be a gesture.

Before leaving, Hao Sui was a little unbearable, so he simply gave Tong Guan a good gift: "Brother Tong, since you have made up your mind, then give Brother Tong a gift for your brother." Before going to the northwest, I implore that the 3,000 soldiers and horses under Gao Yu be controlled in my hands. This army was also trained by Li Kui, and many captains had participated in the Battle of Jinmingzhai, at least they would not drag down the virtuous brothers. ”

"Thank you brother for your generous gift, and his younger brother will be grateful in the future."

After speaking, Tong Guan left in a hurry, it was really not a simple matter to deal with a Longtu Pavilion Bachelor. Tong Guan also needs to plan, and he needs to find a reliable person's imperial history.

A few days later, Yushi Huang An wrote to Qin Fenglu Cai Jing to embezzle the war horse for personal gain, but the emperor was very calm, and just asked Yousi to check. But the law-changing faction led by Zhang Dian was furious, and they thought that Su Zhe had instructed someone to do it.

But Su Zhe didn't know Cai Jing's evidence of the crime at all, and he pondered his enemy for several days, and he couldn't find anyone who was harming him several times.

He couldn't imagine that it was the hands of two eunuchs.

This is mainly due to the fact that after Hao Sui returned to Beijing, he actually set up a fire oil shop, found a shop, hired men, and did not look like a eunuch. He was also happy to be ignored, and just secretly went to see Feng Shining. This is a legend in the eunuch world in the palace, who has sent away four emperors, and now he is the fifth. Even Emperor Shenzong wanted to leave the palace, but he was stopped by him and refused to let him live or die. The emperor dared not to give face, and he became a legend completely by virtue of his age.

On this day, the doorman told him: "Master, there is a scholar surnamed Li who asks to see him." ”

"A scholar surnamed Li? Missing. After Hao Sui finished speaking, he is now busy with the oil business, but he doesn't have a good way to open up his fame, so he is worried. However, then he changed his mind, if the doorman from the mansion he couldn't afford to offend was closed, wouldn't it be bad, and he hurriedly asked: "Which mansion is from?" ”

"It's a scholar in Master Li Kui's mansion."

"Don't hurry up yet, please!"

Li Bangyan accompanied twelve points of caution, came to Hao Sui's face, bowed down and said, "I've seen Hao Gong." ”

Hao Sui waved his hand and said, "Zimei, why are you here?" ”

Li Bangyan smiled bitterly, since he didn't follow Li Kui to Western Xia, he was sent to the capital, and then he was forgotten by Li Kui......
