I don’t know him, what are you talking about?

Tong Guan snorted again angrily, feeling as resentful and helpless as a tiger being bullied by a dog. There was no way the backstage in the palace had collapsed, and there was no hope of relief after ten years. But that did not mean that Tong Guan

He is a person with no temper, but he also has his own dignity, especially when dealing with little people.

eunuch.

Bearded eunuch.

The evil eunuch with a long beard.

Yes, he is Tong Guan, the Tong Guan in history, the Tong Guan who is still having bad luck.

Tong Guan's misfortune began more than ten years ago. He was a disciple of the general manager Li Xian. During Li Xian's most favored period, this person had escaped from the power that a eunuch should have, and his influence directly reached the court.

Above. His talent under Li Xian’s sect is

The most outstanding and most valued talent. At that time, Tong Guan's eyes were higher than the top. He didn't care about tea supervisors, salt supervisors, or railway supervisors, and the well-off supervisors. He wanted to succeed Li Xian in the West.

He regained his military status, regained Xixia, and achieved great success.

Tong Guan's ideals were very high. A eunuch actually wanted to be the commander-in-chief of a war zone. He also thought about destroying Xixia and expanding his territory thousands of miles all day long.

But with Li Xian in front, there is no problem at all for him to have this idea.

Unfortunately, Li Xian collapsed.

As soon as his backer fell, he was dumbfounded. When the pillar of Li Xian fell, it was not only the people around him who were affected, but also many people who were classified as Li Xian's followers. Especially Li Xian.

Xian is a eunuch, and his followers are either generals in the army or eunuchs in the palace. In the eyes of civil servants, they are all people who would not hesitate to die.

In order to survive, Tong Guan decisively returned to the palace and started at the bottom of the Xiaohuang Gate. He was already thirty years old at that time and had been dormant for nearly ten years before he could avoid a violent death.

But this delay lasted ten years.

When people reach middle age, everything is sad. Tong Guan can't sleep at night when he thinks that he is still a prostitute at this age. When will he be able to express his ambition? It wasn't until Liu was favored by the officials in the palace.

He just saw the opportunity. But at that time

Under the circumstances, this is not an opportunity. He needs to wait for someone who can break the situation. At that time, Mrs. Liu was just a loner in the palace, and it was difficult for her to even protect herself. If the officials were not protecting her, I am afraid that

You can't survive even a day in the palace.

The palace is always the most dangerous place, and any mistake will cause people to lose their lives.

Mrs. Liu's identity is the same as that of all the female officials who entered the palace with her. They were all candidates for the daughter-in-law chosen by the Empress Dowager for her grandson. Her family background is also similar. The legitimate daughters of fourth- and fifth-rank official families are basically from general families.

.

After Meng was confirmed as the queen candidate by the Empress Dowager, Liu had no chance at all. Logically speaking, he should go to curry favor with Meng. But Tong Guan did not do so. On the one hand, after Meng's rise among female officials,

There is no shortage of people who can fawn over; besides, he doesn’t think favorably of the Meng family.

, because the official family is not satisfied with Meng. He still needs to wait, because he knows that only one person in the palace can have the last laugh, the official family. But now the official family does not have much power, and he is still with the Queen Mother and

Under the control of the Empress Dowager. But what happens when he takes charge?

Opportunities can always wait.

At most... it will take a few more years!

However, some recent actions of Chief Feng in the palace made him have a strong interest in the Liu family. Feng Shicai, who had never asked about the trivial matters in the palace, transferred a small yellow door that he often used around him to the Liu family. This was a

This is a strong signal that Feng Shicai wants to protect the Liu family. Whether it is true or false, as long as Feng Shicai

If the general manager doesn’t come forward to explain, then it’s true. The palace is like this. You may never hear the truth if it’s true or false. You have to figure it out for yourself. For Feng Shicai, 20,000 yuan is only worth giving to a little kid around him.

Huang Men was running errands for Mr. Liu. This little money was not enough for him to show up in person.

For Tong Guan, this was an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He resolutely joined the Liu family. At the same time, he served as a liaison between the Liu family and those outside the palace. Tong Guan did not lack means or experience. He lacked

It was an opportunity. After joining the Liu family, he immediately became Liu's think tank. You know, Liu family didn't even have anyone who could give advice. Tong Guan's appearance was like her savior.

This time he came to Yizhou more because he wanted to get to know Liu Baosheng. After all, the official family is likely to promote the Liu family in a few years, at least as a favorite concubine. Although Liu Baosheng, the head of the country, cannot live up to his name, he is not bad.

How much. Besides, it’s not like the Song Dynasty’s official family has been abolished. No one knows what the future will be like.

Hurrying slowly, we finally arrived in Yizhou.

But he met Li Kui.

Tong Guan had a very bad impression of Li Kui, the kind of naughty kid who suddenly jumped out to trouble him, the kind who wouldn't even blink in front of him to help him say a word.

But he also felt ambivalently that Li Kui was not a bad person. Tong Guan didn't know how good a person could become after staying in the palace for a long time, but Tong Guan had some confidence in how bad he could become.

Soon, it was the turn to check Li Kui, his army horse, sword, and young man. It turned out that he was a young man from the Lian family. Various signs showed that Li Kui was not easy to deal with. It was probably a young man from some family who came back to show off his prestige during the Chinese New Year.

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

"Aren't you going to check?"

"Young gentleman, you are joking. You don't have any goods, so you don't need to check them."

The taxman smiled flatteringly, and Li Kui laughed, dropped a silver bean, and said: "Give the brothers two kilograms of wine to keep out the cold."

Li Kui's move confirmed the taxman's guess about him. He nodded and bowed to please: "Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang, for the reward."

The moment he approached, Li Kui secretly said to the taxman: "Look at the man and woman in the back. Foreigners, they look like fat sheep at a glance. The goods on the car are not only valuable, but they are of this amount."

Li Kui made a random gesture and entered the city in a big way. Tong Guan didn't want to see him, so why didn't he want to see Tong Guan? Just because Tong Guan treated him with no pretense, pretended not to be angry, and secretly held a grudge, he could forgive him easily.

Killed this dead eunuch?

Besides, he didn't think that Tong Guan would have any contact with him, even in this life.

After Li Kui entered the city, he was immediately attracted by the city of the Song Dynasty. Linyi is not Yishui County, the city is many times larger. Not to mention the clean streets, there is an endless flow of pedestrians, the long streets are brightly lit, and a strong festive atmosphere hits his face.

.

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

After leaving the money, he asked the waiter to prepare hot water.

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

What he didn't expect was that Tong Guan was tortured at the city gate for a long time before entering the city. The girl Sang Hongye who came with him after setting up shop immediately pointed to the old horse eating grass leisurely in the stable and said: "Aweng

, do you think this looks like the black boy’s horse?”

Tong Guan took a closer look and saw that it was not that mean-looking variegated horse.

Sang Hongye said excitedly: "I have to show that black guy some color and let him offend people randomly." They were interrogated at the city gate for a long time, and finally Tong Guan reluctantly paid a bribe of two drinks and was able to escape.

However, the horse Li Kui rode did not regard Tong Guan and others as enemies. Instead, it looked at a maroon little mare with a rope removed from the car with big eyes. There were peach blossoms in the big horse's eyes.

Seeing it breathing hot air, he greeted him enthusiastically. Herod——, crowed. He seemed to be shouting: "Here, sister, take a look at brother's food. Wheat bran mixed with fried beans is so delicious. Let's eat together.

point?"

Eating and drinking is secondary, the key is that it is enthusiastic and a bit malicious.

Tong Guan was also angry. He probably guessed what Li Kui said in the taxman's ear before. But he was a person who was doing important things, how could he be blinded by a moment of unhappiness?

He said in a deep voice: "Don't be too fussy. It's important to do business. I'm going out for a while. Don't wander around in the inn. Remember not to cause trouble for that kid, so as not to expose your identity."

He told Sang Hongye not to cause trouble in the inn. This was not Bianliang, and no one would have much respect for eunuchs. As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so the local officials became bolder one by one, especially the civil servants who heard about the eunuchs.

If you go to a military commander's mansion, you won't let him go even if you dig three feet into the ground.

Linyi City, Liu Mansion.

Yuhou, the military capital of Huaiyang, was from Linyi. Ever since he was squeezed out by two superiors in the army, he had been stationed in Linyi City. Anyway, there were not many generals in the Song Dynasty who were not in the military camp. Some commanders even often lived in the capital, and

No one cares.

Besides, Huaiyang is not Zhending Mansion, let alone the Western Frontier. There is no war. The civil servants of the Song Dynasty also turned a blind eye and did not care about the generals leaving their posts without permission. As long as the generals did not want to make contributions, they would ride on the necks of the civil servants.

It is acceptable for civil servants to act as if they are superior and do good things. Anyway, the imperial court treats generals like pigs. Raising one is just raising a group, and raising a group is also raising a group.

In front of the Liu Mansion, two huge red lanterns were hung high and candles were lit, making the gate tower even taller.

In the concierge, an old army man and the fat man were talking to each other. In front of them were some food and drinks. The fat man was Han Dahu. It was correct to say that he was waiting for Li Kui in the concierge. Or maybe he was not treated well at his father-in-law's house.

See, here comes the search for purity.

"You two, you are very interested!"

Han Dahu was already tipsy. He narrowed his eyes at the uninvited guest and opened his mouth to ask: "Who are you!"

"I came from Yanfu Pavilion in the capital. Please inform the master." Tong Guan didn't say much and found a place to sit down.

The place sounded familiar to Han Dahu and he said, "Wait."

Soon, Liu Baosheng hurried over with his whole family. There was no such place as Yanfu Pavilion at all, but there was a Yanfu Palace in the palace, which was exactly where his daughter lived. This place was supposed to be reserved for the emperor and the empress.

A place for recreation, but I was only nine years old when I ascended the throne, so naturally there was no queen. In addition, the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao prepared a hundred daughter-in-law candidates for her grandson, so they were all sent to Yanfu Palace to raise them.

Han Dahu didn't know about Yanfu Pavilion, but Liu Baosheng knew about it. It should be Yanfu Palace. Then there was a commotion in Liu's house, and the whole family, with or without status, was pulled together by him, and they all started shouting.

Showed up in the front yard.

Liu Baosheng glared at his son-in-law Han Dahu angrily, and then he cupped his hands and said: "You have neglected the angel. Open the middle door and place the incense table."

Tong Guan was embarrassed. He stood at the door of the concierge. Did he enter the door?

In addition, he only came in secret, not with an imperial edict. It didn't matter if he opened the middle door. The Liu family was not a prominent family, so he could afford it. But the incense display was too much, so he hurriedly stopped Liu Baosheng and pretended to accept the imperial edict.

He came out and said, "General Liu, we are here because Liu Jieyu asked us to bring a letter from home."

Liu Baosheng was greatly disappointed. He thought he was going to accept the imperial decree and go to the capital to become the abbot of the country!
