In the Chengdu Palace, Ying Caihe knelt on the ground and bowed his head silently, this is the rule of Song Chaofeng, any subordinate or Wenchen must kneel when talking to him, every time this kneeling makes Ying Caihe feel deeply aggrieved, but today's kneeling especially makes her feel deeply humiliated, but in order to complete the task given to her by the new master, she must be patient.

Song Chaofeng took a numbered document and looked at it carefully, his face showed anger and shock, the document in his hand should be a draft of the agenda, a record of the negotiation between Guo Song and Dugu Qiu, recorded by Wen Miao, who joined the army in the office. Generally, major deliberations must be recorded by a special person, and the consensus or commitment reached by both parties is not a formal agreement, so it needs to be recorded to form a constraint and prevent subsequent regrets.

The draft was a precondition for negotiations on the return to Beijing proposed by Guo Song, and it listed four articles: first, the imperial village and other estates that had been allocated to the peasants had to be forcibly recovered; Article 2, the Guanzhong officials appointed by the Jin Dynasty shall not be replaced; Third, the Son of Heaven can only retain 20,000 Shence troops as palace guards, and other armies may not be retained; Fourth, the thirty-three eunuchs on the list must be killed.

At the bottom are the signatures of Guo Song and Dugu Qiu, as well as the signatures of Wen Miao, the recorder.

Of these four articles, the first of them is crossed out, with a remark next to it, which involves Yongye Tian, which can be discussed in detail in formal negotiations, and the third article is also crossed out, and there is also a remark, which involves border defense, and the number of people can not be reduced, but the appointment of the chief general needs to be consulted and can be discussed during formal negotiations.

There are four articles in total, but two have been crossed out, and this is only a prerequisite for returning to Beijing for negotiations, and only after agreeing to these conditions can negotiations be carried out on returning to Beijing.

What made Song Chaofeng shocked and angry was the fourth article, which demanded that thirty-three eunuchs be killed, and there was a list, where is the list?

Song Chaofeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "It says that there is a list, where is the list?" ”

"The list was not found!"

"Idiot, there's no such important list, what else can you do?"

In the past, being scolded was commonplace, and Ying Caihe had to endure it, but when she was scolded today, a wave of anger ignited in her heart, and she finally restrained it.

"Qi Yu Chao Weng, in order to gain something, explain to Chao Weng, the lowly position adopts the strategy of attacking the east and the west, and concentrates the samurai to go to the Qujiang Garden Mansion to assassinate Du Isolated Qiu, but the other party has already taken precautions, we fell into the trap, most of the brothers were shot, and the lowly office sneaked into the Xingqing Palace Guo Song official room, and found this draft in the drawer, Chao Weng, the five hundred warriors of the Hidden Sword Pavilion failed to assassinate, and finally only escaped Yicheng, why didn't Chao Weng care about the brothers?"

"Bold!"

Song Chaofeng scolded angrily, "Are you questioning me?" ”

"I don't dare to be humble, just because the Hidden Sword Pavilion has suffered heavy casualties, and I feel sad in my heart."

Song Chaofeng said coldly: "How can there be a reason to fight without dying, soldiers die in battle, and then recruit, but as the commander, if you don't complete the task well, you should be punished!" ”

Ying Caihe endured humiliation and said: "Humblely admit punishment!" ”

Song Chaofeng looked at Ying Caihe, and then looked at the draft in her hand, although she failed to stop Guo Song and Du Qiu's negotiations, but it was already very good to be able to get this important negotiation summary.

"Alright! It depends on the heavy casualties of your subordinates, so I won't punish you this time, step down! ”

"Xie Chaoweng forgiveness!"

Ying took a bow and retreated.

Song Chaofeng took out his silver medal and instructed the little eunuch: "Quickly summon the six eunuchs and the national pillars to come to me to discuss major matters." ”

The sixth eunuch is the chief eunuch of the six Cao of the Northern Ya, the six godsons of Song Chaofeng, and the national pillar is the self-title of several leading eunuchs, a total of seven people, Song Chaofeng, Huo Xianming, Dou Wenchang, the fifth Shouliang, Zhang Shang, Jiao Hope, and Tian Wenxiu.

At present, Tian Wenxiu is supervising the army in Jiannan Jiedu Mansion, Jiao Hope is supervising the army in Jingnan Jiedu Mansion, and Zhang Shang is supervising the army in Jiedu Mansion in Jiangnan West Province, so at present, the palace only has Song Chaofeng, the inner chamberlain and privy envoy, Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang, the left and right lieutenants in charge of the Shence Army, and the fifth Shouliang and other four leading eunuchs in the palace.

Before, the head of the inner hall was Cheng Yuanzhen, but after Li Yi briefly ascended the throne, he killed Cheng Yuanzhen and replaced him with Song Chaofeng's fifth confidant, Shouliang, and it was this appointment that made Song Chaofeng officially the head of the Northern Ya.

Not much. Ten eunuchs gathered together, Song Chaofeng showed everyone the draft that Ying Caihe had gotten, and the fourth article made everyone shocked and angry, Huo Xianming frowned and said: "There should be an attachment to the list!" ”

"Ying Cai and that idiot didn't do a good job, and I didn't get the list, and I have reprimanded her fiercely."

Dou Wenchang said slowly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if there is a list or not, a few of us will definitely not be able to escape, but I am curious, there are a total of thirty-three people, we are three people in the Seven Kingdoms Pillar plus six Cao Lingcai, and who are the other twenty people?" ”

The fifth Shouliang smiled: "Wen Weng forgot the twenty grandsons? ”

Everyone woke up to the fact that the twenty grandsons were twenty tax supervisors, mining tax, salt tax, tea and wine tax, cloth tax, intershelf tax, commercial tax, etc., a total of twenty miscellaneous taxes, which were responsible for twenty eunuchs, who were distributed all over the country, and these twenty tax supervisors were the confidants of Song Chaofeng, Huo Xianming, and Dou Wenchang, also known as the twenty grandsons.

Song Chaofeng slapped the table, gritted his teeth and said: "We and Guo Song Jingshui don't violate the river water, why is he so vicious and wants us to kill them all?" ”

Huo Xian Mingyin**: "It's normal, we all have real power in our hands, Guo Song also wants it, he just wants to kill us with Li Shi's hand, and we are for each other's interests, nothing strange." ”

"The fairy is right!"

Dou Wenchang added next to him: "This is the fundamental reason why we want to prevent Li Shi from returning to Chang'an, before we were just worried that it would damage our vital interests, but now it seems that we are still thinking too simply, it is actually related to our net worth and life, Chao Weng, we are all in the same boat, we should join forces." ”

Song Chaofeng nodded, "I estimate that Duguqiu's express letter will also be delivered, I will find a way to find out what he wrote on his letter to the Son of Heaven first, and then we will discuss countermeasures." ”

...........

In Shuangliu County, Chengdu Prefecture, there is a large manor covering an area of hundreds of hectares, which is the manor of the Dugu family, and there are 2,000 families stationed in the manor, of which 1,000 are pretended to be 1,000 elite soldiers led by Zhang Yun.

It has been a month since they arrived in Chengdu, and there is no task for the time being, just training is arranged every day, but the food treatment is very good, and the Dugu family gives them all kinds of treatment very generously, although living here is a little boring, but it is also very comfortable.

This morning, Song Tian took two entourages to ride to the outside of the manor, there was Zhuang Ding with his greeting post to run to report to Zhang Yun, not long after, Zhang Yun hurried to the manor, the two laughed and hugged each other, the two of them formed a deep friendship in the battle to seize Chang'an, this reunion in the hometown, feel very cordial.

Zhang Yun invited Song Tian to sit down in the manor, poured him a cup of hot tea and said with a smile: "What is Song Gong's mission this time?" ”

After speaking, Zhang Yun immediately realized that something was wrong, and said: "I just asked casually, Song Gong doesn't need to elaborate!" ”

Song Tian smiled bitterly and said: "It's not a secret, I don't know what my task is, I am now the head of the internal affairs of the Chengdu Hidden Sword Pavilion, and I obey Ying Caihe's orders." ”

'Should it be made and?' ’

Zhang Yun was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "That female devil is actually our person?" ”

"Since it was arranged by His Highness, it should be!"

Zhang Yun realized, nodded and said, "I know, she and Her Highness are in the same family, maybe there is this relationship." ”

"We don't have to worry about what's going on, I'm here to trouble you this time."

"Say it! There's something I need help with, and we're just bored. ”

Song Tian took out a small gold medal from his arms and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "I want to transfer two hundred brothers from you to join the Hidden Sword Pavilion. ”

Song Tian said very politely, hoping that Zhang Yun would help and the like, but the transfer of troops was not something that Zhang Yun could agree to casually, the key was that he got the gold medal given by Guo Song to the special troop transfer, which can mobilize soldiers of special services, mainly referring to the scout army and the internal guard army, and the number of people does not exceed 300.

Zhang Yun glanced at the gold medal, nodded and said, "What conditions do you need for soldiers?" ”

"We need soldiers who are strong in martial arts and ruthless."

Zhang Yun grinned, "My soldiers are all experienced in battles, murderous, and extremely good at actual combat, but they are much more powerful than those so-called killers in the rivers and lakes, and I promise not to disappoint you." ”

Zhang Yun immediately ordered two hundred soldiers and asked a captain to lead and follow Song Tian back.

Before leaving, Song Tian handed over a warrant from Guo Song to Zhang Yun, which was Guo Song's request for Zhang Yun to fully cooperate with the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
