Chapter 26 Wang Zhongguan
Liu Yun said at this time: "When leaving Ye County, Zheng County Zun had an offer, asking me to tell the two adults to make a decision."
"oh?"
Qianhuguan and Wang Zhongguan were both stunned, Qianhu said, "Say."
Liu Yun said: "Is it a plan? It was the first one that Ying Yibaihu just proposed. He has made preparations here, and has prepared fifty wooden boxes and twenty cars and horses."
When Qianhuguan and Wang Zhongguan heard this, their minds changed and they understood what the plan was.
Wang Zhongguan couldn't help but applaud: "This is a good way."
He looked at Qianhuguan: "What did Zhao Qianhu say?"
Zhao Qianhu also nodded: "It's indeed a good idea."
He paused and looked at Liu Yun and said, "We have leaked the news, but we can't hide it anymore. No one knows the soldiers from Ye County for the time being. Let them take their military pay to the dark place. When we go to the open place to attract the attention of the thieves, we can ensure that the military pay is safe."
Speaking of this, he changed his voice: "But Ying Yi is trustworthy? I know Zheng County Zun, but Ying Yi is..."
Liu Yun understood Zhao Qianhu's concerns and smiled and said, "Zhengxianzun has considered this. First, Ying Yi is a local, and is from Xiaowangzhuang, the border between Yuzhou and Ye County. Not long ago, Ying Yi went to the mountain to hunt, and Xiaowangzhuang was slaughtered by a thief tiger's troops. He swore to take revenge and was recruited by Zhengxianzun in Ye County. His basic integrity is innocent."
Zhao Qianhu and Wang Zhongguan nodded slightly.
Liu Yun said again: "Secondly, Ying Yi was appointed by Zheng Yunzhi to lead the troops of Ye County, and the soldiers of Ye County were all Zheng Yunzhi's confidants."
After hearing this, Zhao Qianhu nodded slightly: "This is guaranteed."
Wang Zhongguan laughed: "Our family will add another layer of guarantee to him. Our family will take action and walk with him."
Zhao Qianhu had no expression on his face: "This is the best."
Then he said: "Since the king wants to walk with Ying Yi, you might as well get familiar with him first."
Wang Zhongguan chuckled and stood up: "It should be."
When Wang Zhongguan left the temple, Zhao Qianhu lay down and said, "This eunuch is afraid of death. He dares not attract thieves openly with you and me. He is afraid."
Liu Yun said: "If you don't talk about eunuchs, Mr. Zhao, we may not be in danger."
He said jokingly: "Hao Yaoqi intercepts the soldiers, and the probability is not small, at least 80% or 90%. But at most, we have 5,000 people, and we have 1,700 people, not without the power to fight back. This is one. Second, our open duty is to hold the bandits so that General Ying Yi can transport the pay of the soldiers to Ye County smoothly. It doesn't take too long. As long as it can be delayed for two hours, we abandon the carriage and leave after two hours. When the bandits react, Ying Yi's people may be about to arrive in Ye County and cannot be caught up with them."
Zhao Qianhu sat up and stroked his hands, "It's reasonable. You and I are afraid you're going to play hide-and-seek with the thief."
Liu Yun smiled and said, "I have another idea. Maybe it can be of great use."
"Speak quickly."
Liu Yun said: "If the thief comes, when you find the thief's traces, we will drag us to the west with fake carriages and horses for a while."
Zhao Qianhu was stunned, then suddenly realized and repeatedly applauded: "It's a good idea! When we go west, the bandits will think that the military pay will not go to Ye County, but to Xiangyang, and to attract the attention of the thieves from all their efforts to ensure the safety of the military pay... It once again confused the bandits' audio-visual and not talking about it, and there is also the Huguang army in Xiangyang..."
"Not only that. Zheng County Zun sent people to Huguang for help, maybe he could run into Huguang's reinforcements halfway."
"Just do it!" Zhao Qianhu said ruthlessly: "You arrange personnel immediately, pay attention to monitoring the movements and prevent the arrival of thieves. I will go to see Ying Yi immediately."
"yes."
...
Ying Yi was about to arrange a rest when Wang Zhongguan arrived.
Ying Yi has no prejudice against eunuchs. Although many sins in history are attributed to eunuchs, in Ying Yi's opinion, most of them are taking the blame.
But history is not written by eunuchs, but by literati. Therefore, if there is any crime, it is just blamed on eunuchs, that is political correctness.
In the Ming Dynasty, such as Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian, the people of Wei Zhongxian said how hateful it was, and most of them were the literati hated them very much. Public opinion was in the hands of literati, so they became the source of sin. In fact, the emergence of Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian was inevitable. After the late Ming Dynasty, the power of civil servants became increasingly large, which shook the foundation of the country. In order to fight against civil servants, the emperor had to support eunuchs as a knife.
This is a political struggle.
There are also powerful eunuchs who are famous in history. For example, Cai Lun, the papermaker, such as Zheng He, who voyages to the West for seven times, and Wang Chengen, who is loyal to death. There are many.
Seeing that Wang Zhongguan arrived, Ying Yi handed over what he had to Zheng Liu to arrange and came to receive Wang Zhongguan himself.
"The official worked hard and made great contributions." Ying Yi smiled and said, "It's more than a thousand miles from western Jiangxi to Henan."
When Wang Zhongguan heard this, he suddenly felt several times better about Ying Yi.
"Oh, Ying Baihu is the one who knows our family!" Wang Zhongguan sighed: "The dust and hardships along the way are really not worth telling to outsiders."
He sat down on a stone: "Our leg is almost broken. You don't know. You are tired of walking, riding horses, hiding out at night, and you have to be careful of the thieves who are cutting the path, and you have to cover up the news. You are really worried."
Although this eunuch seemed a bit pretentious, Ying Yi could feel the hardships.
This is indeed not an easy task.
He said: "The king is loyal and loyal, and he is the emperor and the country. He must be famous in history books."
When Wang Zhongguan heard his praise, he smiled and waved his hand quickly: "Our family knows it, so I don't want to leave a name in history. If these eunuchs in our family leave a name in history, unless they are the ancestors of the Three Treasures, they will all be Wei Zhongxian and Liu Jin."
Ying Yi was surprised, but he didn't expect that the eunuch could see clearly.
But he smiled and said, "That's possible. As soon as the military pay comes, the thieves will be defeated. This is obvious. How can one lose a member of the official position?"
Wang Zhongguan grinned, only to feel much more refreshed.
"You are really good." He said: "Others dislike our family. If you can talk and laugh with us, our family will bear your love."
Ying Yi also sat down and shook his head: "As the emperor's close minister, he is arrogant and naturally cannot be with ordinary people. No matter what others think, there is no need to care."
Wang Zhongguan laughed and clapped his hands and said, "You said it well, you said it well! This is what we say. We recognize you!"
Ying Yi was not deliberately flattering. First, he had no unnecessary views on eunuchs, and second, he was curious about eunuchs. Because of this, his eyes and tone did not look down on him, which made Wang Zhongguan feel very good about him.
People like Wang Zhongguan may have a low status in the palace, but the people in front of the emperor still have status. They are often praised and flattered. But they are different from Ying Yi. The eunuch is incomplete and therefore becomes extremely sensitive. Many people have a sense of contempt behind their flattery. Maybe they don’t feel deeply when they are once or twice, but how can they not know it if they have too many times?
But here at Ying Yi, he didn't feel any contempt.
