Chapter 032 Tong Guan Fake Eunuch

The eunuch is also an official. Although the grade is lower, the child is also a six-seven-grade official. As an official, especially as a eunuch, the woman is not so gloomy, but a little powerful, which makes Gao Yu a little gratified, but he is still very depressed, or a little distressed. I have become an eunuch,

Heartache and headache can't destroy Gao Yu's calm smile. He arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry." Then he turned over the horse and walked down the mountain together,

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Sha Shiyan was a little anxious: "Your Majesty will be fine, right?"

Wu Tong comforted, "Don't worry, the second head. I know the person who came here. His name is Tong Guan. He is an inner minister in the palace who is not very popular with the emperor. However, he has made a lot of good fate in the palace with righteousness and wealth, so he was ordered to get an idleness at the border. This person is also popular at the border. Why doesn't the two king know this? Is it a person?

Sha Shiyan thought for a moment: "I also remembered it when you said this. It's not that I just came to the border. You see, I've been busy with the things told by Prince Liang of Xixia during this period, but I haven't paid a meeting, but you count that these eunuchs are all clean people. How can they be so powerful and have a beard?"

Wu Tong is the internal affairs envoy of the Salt Gang. Although he is only 26 and 27 years old, he is proficient in everything in the things of the Xixia and Song Dynasty. From the national policy and gossip, there is basically nothing he doesn't know. After listening to Sha Shiyan's question, Wu Tong smiled and whispered, "Do you want to listen to the official version of this question or the wild history?"

"What does the official say?"

"Official statement: A man is clean after the age of 20. Although he is clean, he still has a beard, throat knot and so on. Therefore, it is not surprising that the eunuch has a beard."

Sha Shiyan heard it for the first time. He opened his eyes doubtfully: "Who is this boy? Why do you still have to be clean when you are an adult?"

Wu Tong explained, "This man should not be underestimated. He is the adopted son of the king of Zhennan in those years. You see, Prince Liang wants to pretend to be the son of the king. If Tong Guan is in Yongle City, it will be difficult for him to pass."

Sha Shiyan became more and more anxious when he heard this. He rubbed his hands and said, "This is really getting more and more troublesome. By the way, what do you think is that wild history?"

Wu Tong shook his head: "This can't be spread. It will cause disaster." He said, lying in Sha Shiyan's ear and whispering, "Ye Shi, it depends on whether there is someone in the silkworm room (the silkworm room, which originally refers to the place where the silkworm is raised, and later quoted as a prison for palace torture). If there is someone, he can hide it from the world and cross the sea, there is no difference between castacy and not."

"That's all right." Sha Shiyan was even more surprised,

"Anyway, there are many legends about whether this Tong Guan is a real eunuch. Some say that he was blessed by his adoptive father, so it is difficult to be executed in the palace; others say that he must be a eunuch, but the king of Zhennan gave up his death and did not allow the emperor to castrate him. It happened that the king of Zhennan to have an accident, and the emperor did not castrate him in his old feelings. What's more, there is a nobleman. The Empress secretly helped and gave her a secret book of Baoyang. When she was executed, she shrank to the abdomen. Anyway, there are all kinds of statements outside, but one thing is that Tong Guan can only be a eunuch, and the Song Dynasty eunuchs can't be involved in politics, which is the legacy of Taizu.

"If you say so, this Tong Guan still has some skills. Why doesn't the emperor kill him and give him an official?"

"The second head of the family, you don't understand this. In those years, the people around the king of Zhennan were finally officials. Instead of letting them remember the kindness of the king of Zhennan, it is better for the emperor to make them feel grateful to the court. He can also bring these people in the court and watch them every day. Besides, there are so many royal palaces. When people encounter different political opinions, it is inevitable that their own people will be different from each other for a long time. This is the emperor's intention. As for Tong Guan, when he was a teenager, he followed the king of Zhennan to the west. He was a little famous among the young people, and the king had deep feelings. The more so, the more he looked at it was.

Sha Shiyan smiled and pointed to Wu Tong and said, "I think the king hasn't seen your strengths yet. When he comes back, I will mention it to the king."

Wu Tong waved his hand and said, "Don't, don't, don't look at me and the second head of the family. I'm really a little scared when I see the king. Our king's water is too deep. Anyway, I can't see through it. Just say just now, look at his calmness and trance. I really think we are doing the business of the salt gang, afraid of fighting here. It's so difficult."

Both of them laughed as they spoke, and quickly returned to the village to be busy with their own affairs. Gao Yu and Tong Guan were originally a godfather and son-in-law, but now they walk side by side. The godson is more mature than his godfather and a few years older than him. What kind of world is this? The more Gao Yu thought about it, the more depressed his face became. The group couldn't help sinking down. The group followed the s. The hilly mountain road has gone down the mountain, and it is almost noon. There are many pedestrians along the road. They are all in and out of Yongle City. Occasionally, you can see a pavilion teahouse on the roadside, sitting with some temporary passers-by,

Tong Guan and others also slowed down with the horse. At this time, Gao Yu walked side by side with him. Tong Guan couldn't help looking at Gao Yu and looking at the horse. It was still a few miles away from Yongle City. Tong Guan wiped the sweat on his forehead and pointed to a gazebo not far away: "Let's go there to rest and drink some water. You are really in you. I didn't even let my mouth water in the cottage.

The soldier listened to the order and stepped forward to disperse the people in the gazebo. The owner of the tea stall did not dare to say much when he saw the official. He hurriedly collected the tea money and greeted Gao Yu and others: "Sy officials should rest their feet and drink some tea to quench their thirst."

Gao Yu didn't refuse much. He got off the horse and handed the reins to Zoning, who followed him. With Tong Guan, he walked into the gazebo.

There was a group of stone tables and stone stools in the pavilion. There were several tables and chairs outside the pavilion. The soldiers consciously sat down around the pavilion. Zuoning led the horse to the riverside to drink. Gao Yu and Tong Guan sat face to face. The owner of the tea stall was busy pouring tea for them.

Two people sat in Gao Yu and asked a lot of questions, but they didn't know how to ask. Instead, Tong Guan asked, "This prince, I don't think it's like the salt merchant you said."

Gao Yu said instead, "What General Tong said, does the salt merchant still need to write the word salt merchant on his forehead?"

Tong Guan laughed and said, "Salt merchants, officials and businessmen are arrogant. Now the war between the two sides is approaching. I'm afraid that the officials and merchants will arrive at the safe place early. As for the private salt merchants, they are more careful and their eyes are flashing. Now that I, the officers and soldiers have gone to the cottage, I can still not panic. Have you ever seen such a salt merchant who smuggles private salt."

"So, General Tong is suspicious."

"Alas! Mr. Gao, you have a lot of doubts, but the person who can have this mount should not be a treacherous villain. I have been looking for such a horse for so many years. It's a pity.

If others say so, Gao Yu will definitely ignore it, but this is what Tong Guan said, especially when he sees that every time Tong Guan looks at the horse, there is something flowing in his eyes, which seems to be full of infinite affection. Gao Yu's heart moved: "If the general likes this horse so much, I will Give it to you!" This is not a casual statement. No one can understand Gao Yu's heartache for Tong Guan. After all, he has watched Tong Guan grow up with his own eyes for more than ten years, especially now that a man is sitting opposite him, but he can't recognize him. This kind of mood is indescribable.

"Hahaha, the prince is funny enough, but forget it. I like this horse is nothing more than thinking about the old man. Besides, a good bird chooses wood to live, a good man chooses a friend, and a good horse chooses a man to bear! How can I be loved by others? After saying that, Tong Guan sighed again,

Gao Yu nodded. Although Tong Guan is now a eunuch, he is more peaceful than when he was young. He asked, "Does the general have something on his mind? Why does he keep listening to the general's sigh?"

"I have something on my mind. Originally, I was ordered to go back to Beijing, but I heard that my godfather's son suddenly reappeared in the world. It happened that my friend was also coming to Yongle City, so I stayed for a day or two." His eyes kept looking at Gao Yu when he spoke,

Gao Yu knew that it was his idea to release the news of the appearance of the son next to the king, and Tong Guan probably suspected that he was the son of the king. There was no reason why he was his own son. Gao Yu smiled hoarsely,

"Why are you laughing at this gentleman?" Tong Guan asked puzzledly,

"I, General Xiaotong, am a bold person. When you and I met for the first time, I said this to you in my heart. Thank you in my heart. If you have the opportunity to meet the general in the future, you must drink well. It's getting late for me to look at the sky. Why don't you go on the road earlier?"

"Oh, why are you in a hurry? As soon as I see you, I feel like I see you as a brother, that's why I talk so much. Drink some more water." Tong Guan seemed to say affectionately,

Gao Yu thought to himself, what brother, I'm your godfather. He thought that Tong Guan had picked up the teapot and sprinkled it out casually. At this time, Gao Yu went to hold the teacup, and the warm water suddenly sprinkled on Gao Yu's sleeves.

"Oh, oh, it's a mess. You're not hot, brother." Tong Guan grabbed Gao Yu's wrist and pulled away Gao Yu's sleeves,

Several soldiers snickered and whispered, "I don't see that our child stewards still have this hobby."

Gao Yu is also a little confused. In the past ten years, he has not seen that Tong Guan not only became an eunuch, but also liked men. In a hurry, he hurriedly wanted to pull his hands. Tong Guan's strength was not small. He pulled half of Gao Yu's blue shirt sleeves with a hard work. Now Gao Yu's naked arm was exposed,

"What do you mean?" Gao Yu was anxious and raised his eyebrows and stared,

Tong Guan stared at Gao Yu's arm and didn't mind Gao Yu's anger at all. Instead, he sighed disappointedly: "Oh, it turns out that you are not,"

"No, it's not something." Gao Yu asked angrily, with half an arm naked at the present, which was really strange. Seeing this, Zoning hurried forward. He held the package in his hand: "Sir, fortunately, I brought my clothes." With that, he took out a brand-new gown from the package,

Gao Yu changed his clothes angrily and thought that he could ask Tong Guan for it. He threw down his torn clothes and said, "Your general is so rude. Let's say goodbye."

Turning around to leave, Tong Guan muttered behind him, "It looks so similar. How can he not be a younger brother? What about the birthmark on his left arm?"
