Zou Tong quietly withdrew from the emperor's residence. He knew that the emperor needed a private space to vent his ecstasy, so he left a beautiful little palace maid who was only fifteen years old to the emperor and left.
.
Victory on the battlefield is the easiest way to stimulate male possessiveness. Although Zou Tong himself is not a man, as the emperor's personal eunuch, he knows some of the emperor's behavioral habits very well.
When I walked out of the door, I saw Cao Dading kneeling at the second door with his big butt sticking out. He was dirty and messy. He kept looking behind him, as if an evil spirit was chasing him.
When Cao Dading saw Zou Tong coming out, he rushed forward and hugged Zou Tong's calf, crying loudly: "Eunuch Zou, help me, Yun Zheng wants to kill me!"
Zou Tong habitually put his hands in his wide sleeves and said sarcastically: "The general is actually a very reasonable person. You and he were close friends when we were in Tokyo. Why did he kill you? He must be joking with you."
.”
Cao Dading shook all the fat on his body and cried: "This time is different. This time is different. He doesn't care if I embezzle some of his money. He just scolds me and passes by. He takes a peek at his little wife."
The most he can do is beat me up, but this time is different, he will definitely chop me to death. Chen Xian has already wiped his neck, and Yang Du, the prefect of Dingzhou, has hanged himself. Without a scapegoat, Yun Zheng will definitely kill me.
Didn't you see the way he was sitting among the corpses? No one dared to approach him. My concubine and the prefect's wife committed suicide on his knees. Those two women said something else before they died. Anyway,
Yun Zheng sheds tears and kills people, but his laughter is better than the crying of ghosts and cannot be heard.
I took one look at him and ran away before he saw me. If he saw me, he would definitely throw me into the fire and burn me alive. As a general and a murderer, he should have seen many dead people. God knows what happened to him this time.
.
Eunuch Zou, I beg you to report this, please send me far away and don’t let me see Yun Zheng again!”
Zou Tong sighed and said: "Our family has been under the care of the Empress for many years, so I will make an exception and warn you that there is a secret about Li Chang, the military supervisor in the west of Beijing.
You are right. The general was really in a state of madness at this time. He gave an order to capture six thousand barbarians who were dug into pits and buried alive. The barbarians dug the pits themselves and buried them. Such a thing, in
This is my first time to experience the Song Dynasty.
Chen Xian and Yang Du were also whipped several times by him, do you know? This is whipping corpse! The general is crazy and is looking for you all over Dingzhou City with knives, but the supervisor is not crazy and knows not to hack you to death.
Tell your majesty that it is best to send you as far away as Salmon Island, or to serve as a prisoner in Cangzhou City. Otherwise, as long as the general sees you, he will not care about the laws of the Song Dynasty and will really hack you to death.
Your Majesty is very angry and asks us to tell you that if you want to save your life, choose a place between Salmon Island and Cangzhou Prison City, otherwise Your Majesty will not be able to save you. The general is used to killing people and then reporting them."
Cao Dading's fat face trembled a few times, his eyes rolled around a few times, and finally he said with a sad face: "I'm going to Cangzhou Prison City, where the official camp and the provincial level are the disciples of the Cao family... If you don't go fishing on Shamen Island, where can you go?
It’s too close to the Liao Kingdom.”
Zou Tong patted Cao Dading on the shoulder and said: "If you want to leave, go quickly. You have also seen that the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all over the country have arrived in Zhaozhou. Your Majesty will leave for Dingzhou tomorrow. Our family will sell the queen a favor."
, tell the general that you have been sent to Yazhou, and there is probably no hope of returning to Tokyo in this life."
Cao Dading limped one leg and left with a lot of thanks. Zou Tong shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Why bother? If a dude can't enjoy the glory in Tokyo, why do he have to serve as a military governor and cause trouble to the empress? Even if she is the empress, in the
It’s hard to escape responsibility for this matter.”
Zou Tong shook his head and put all these troubles behind him. Thinking of what Shi Zhongxin had said to him a few days ago, his heart became hot. His nephew was too honest and not an official material.
Plan a future for him yourself.
He wanted to find Shi Zhongxin, but was stopped by Han Qi, Bao Zheng and others. Han Qi usually did not talk to eunuchs. These old and powerful Bao Zheng asked in a deep voice: "Li Chang's memorial is here.
, why not go to the center?”
Zou Tong frowned and bent down and replied: "To tell you what to say to the boss, this is a secret report. There are some things that are not worthy of being discussed with outsiders."
"Nonsense! We are all important ministers of the Song Dynasty. If there is something that we cannot know, you dare to deceive the superiors and conceal it from the subordinates. Do you think you are an internal official and I can't do anything to you?"
Han Qi got angry, and Zou Tong quickly waved his hands and said, "How can I have the courage? Some of the things here really cannot be discussed."
Bao Zheng said with a smile: "In that case, just pick up something you can say and I believe His Majesty will not blame you."
Zou Tong looked around and lowered his voice and said: "The general annihilated the Yelvhua Tower in Tang County. Not a single one of the more than 14,000 barbarians escaped."
Han Qi said impatiently: "The Privy Council is already aware of this matter, and the troops of the Western Beijing Army have already reported it. I just want to know something that is not in this chapter of the Privy Council. In addition, I also want to know why Yunzheng will
Retreat to Dingzhou instead of stationing in Tang County?
Why did all 14,000 barbarians die in the battle and not a single prisoner of war was sent to Zhaozhou? Yunzheng’s battle report is not false, but how to explain these questions?"
Zou Tong straightened up and closed his mouth without saying a word.
Han Qi glanced at Zou Tong, who looked like a clay and wood sculpture, nodded and said, "It seems that Li Chang explained it in the memorial to His Majesty, right? What does Your Majesty think?"
Zou Tong cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty thinks that the general's actions in Tang County are very appropriate and there are no problems. He plans to go to Dingzhou tomorrow to commend our invincible warriors of the Song Dynasty."
After speaking, he cupped his hands and walked around the ministers, and went straight to Shi Zhongxin to talk to these people. Zou Tong always felt that these people were plotting against him. Talking too much would affect the safety of his head, so he usually
He has always kept a respectful distance from these important ministers.
"It's confirmed, Yun Zheng is killing Jiang!"
Hearing what Han Qi said, Zeng Gongliang asked strangely: "Are the Liao people only allowed to kill our people, but we are not allowed to kill the Liao people? If it is just to kill the surrender, I think it is not a big deal, after all, no matter who sees me
The imperial palace built with the heads of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty will be as furious as mad."
Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "Killing and surrendering is really not a big deal, but when the two people, Chen Xian, the transfer envoy of Dingzhou, and Yang Du, the prefect of Dingzhou, heard that they were whipped to death by Yun Zheng, and the Yang family reported it to us, we must ask
A clear one."
Han Qi waved his hand and said: "Even the old man who whipped the corpse didn't take it to heart. Although it was a bit counterintuitive to do so, Yun Zheng's character would not be so cruel.
What I'm worried about is Yun Zheng's mental problem. Whether it's killing someone or whipping a corpse, what kind of person do you think can do such a thing?
At least, this shouldn't be something that a general like Yun Zheng, who is both civil and military, can do. You saw it just now. Cao Dading shouted that Yun Zheng wanted to kill him. When he was in Tokyo, he had a similar odor with Yun Zheng. He spent all day drinking and drinking.
Damn it, what happened that made Yun Zheng want to kill even his old friends?
I'm worried that there is something wrong with Yun Zheng's mind. With such a person commanding the most powerful army in the Song Dynasty, it's hard to say what problems will arise.
Gentlemen, Han Qi will take a step forward and go to Dingzhou to have a look on the ground and you will understand. The safety of the official family is more important than anything else. If you don’t see my letter, please delay your Majesty’s trip."
Bao Zheng and others all nodded in agreement, and Han Qi stopped giving instructions and immediately left Zhaozhou City with his personal entourage to Dingzhou City to see on the spot.
Life in Shi Shouxin's military camp was not easy. Since the arrival of Han Qi and Lao Bao, Shi Shouxin's good days have disappeared. Instead of praising him as a general, it is better to say that he has become Han Qi himself, and he has been beaten with sticks.
After going down, the army camp was filled with howling ghosts and wolves. Han Qi had only one way to train his troops, and that was coercion.
In Han Qi's opinion, these Qiu Ba actually deserve to be beaten. As long as a few blind ones are chopped to death, a few more have sharp heads, and military discipline is strictly enforced, a strong army will naturally appear. He is training troops in Hejian Prefecture.
That's how it was done at that time.
It's a pity that the soldiers who praise the Japanese army are all oil-skinned. They are stationed in the capital all year round. They know the temper of every boss to some extent. Ever since Han Qi walked into the military camp, they have spontaneously restrained themselves in strict accordance with military regulations. No one has
Stupidly using his own head to show Han Qi his authority.
They also had a strict division of labor, with some spying on Han Qi's whereabouts, some bribing Han Qi's personal guards, and some specializing in studying the characteristics of Han Qi's military training. In just a few days, they completely understood Han Qi's movements.
Therefore, wherever Han Qi went, everyone was training in high spirits. Not only were their clothes and armor neat, but their queues were also neat. Once Han Qi disappeared from sight, the sentries in the distance waved flags, and those who were training in full swing just now
The guy will fall to the ground...
Han Qi was not easy to fool, so he was unlucky to support the generals in the Japanese army. Han Qi did not need to find a reason to beat Qiu Ba. No matter how he explained it or how he pretended, they could not escape the killing stick once every three days!
To this day, the two sides are still at odds with each other. Just when the generals were about to lose their strength, spies came to report, and Han Qi took his guards to Dingzhou.
Shi Zhongxin laid out the meat and wine at the first opportunity, pointed in the direction of Dingzhou and scolded Han Qi. He praised the Japanese army and everyone cheered, and they dispersed to Zhaozhou City to have fun.
As soon as Zou Tong walked into Shi Zhongxin's tent, he was pulled to the side of the table by the enthusiastic Shi Zhongxin. He poured a full glass of wine for Zou Tong and said: "The ghost of death is gone. My life is finally getting better. Come on, you and me."
Brothers, let’s drink to Marquis Yun’s great victory.”
Zou Tong held the wine glass and smiled: "Aren't you worried that Marquis Yun will fail in Tang County?"
Shi Zhongxin laughed loudly and said: "Your footsteps have swept away the heaviness of the past and become as light as feet without dust. I will know that the victory document from Marquis Yun has arrived!" (To be continued)
