”Eunuch Li, no matter how honest you are, you can't treat your subordinates unfairly!” Zhang Banxian stood up and cupped her hands towards Li Yu: ”Anyway, I have already sent Lord General's intentions. If you do not give face to Lord General, then give it back to him.”
”Hehe …” Aren't you embarrassing me? ” Li Yu laughed, nodded and said: ”Alright, I will take the money. However, I have a few words to remind you guys, I believe you already know the purpose of my visit to the Youzhou. I've been lingering long enough along the way. Just what should we do? You all have to quickly think of a way! ”
”Thank you, Eunuch Li, for your care!” Just as Zhang Banxian predicted, Li Yu was waiting for Yang Lin and the others to think of a solution. The Zhang Banxian did not hide anything and straightforwardly said, ”We will immediately rush to the Luoyang to report our victory. We hope that the Imperial Court will reward you handsomely for making such a meritorious deed.”
”You only know how to fight on the battlefield, how would you know the dangers of the imperial court!” Li Yu raised his head as a trace of malice flashed across his eyes, ”Now that New Emperor has just ascended the throne, Grand General Ho Jin is already in a hurry to fight for power. He has already started a huge argument with Empress Dowager Dong. Those scholars were even more restless as they attempted to murder the servants. They wanted nothing more than to take over the Lord General's military power and put this strong cavalry in their hands. Therefore, you all must rush to Luoyang as soon as possible and let Grand Manager think of a way for you all. ”
”Thank you Eunuch Li for your reminder, we will leave tomorrow as soon as dawn arrives.” The Zhang Banxian bowed gratefully towards Li Yu. At this point, he had a good impression of these eunuchs, ”I hope that Eunuch Li can wait a few days. Once there is news, we will immediately rush over to report to Eunuch Li.”
”That's not easy to deal with. I can't stay in Xindu City and not leave, can I?” Li Yu frowned, and said with difficulty: ”If I stay too long on the road, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others, if there is someone playing a book, I won't be able to take responsibility!”
”Eunuch Li has been working hard all this time, and has felt the chills every now and then. Why not take a rest on the road for a few days?” How could Zhang Banxian make things difficult for Li Yu? He had already thought of a plan for Li Yu a long time ago. ”Eunuch Li should rest at ease in the letter.
”Alright then, you should hurry up. ”I can't stay here for too long either. You must give me a confirmation letter within half a month.” Li Yu nodded his head and said helplessly: ”Grand Manager is also very anxious. You guys go see him immediately when you reach Luoyang.”
The Zhang Banxian was also very anxious and rushed on the way. After passing through the Weixian and the Hanoi County, they finally crossed the Yellow River two days later and reached the realm of Luoyang. Fifty kilometers away from the Luoyang City, they met Wu Feng, his disciples Li Liang and Zhang Tian, who had come to welcome them.
Ever since and Liang Ming dragged Wu Feng to participate in the Youzhou Army, they had arranged for Wu Feng to open an inn in the Luoyang City to specifically investigate the information of the Emperor and the ministers. The money and information that the Youzhou Army had given to Zhang Yong had all been sent to the Youzhou through him.
The Wu Family Gully was an estate that Wu Feng had purchased at the mountains north of Luoyang, south of the Yellow River. There was only a small path that led outside the mountain. There were more than three hundred households, all of which were tenants that Wu Feng had selected.
”Let the soldiers stay at the Wu family valley, we will immediately rush to the Luoyang.” After hurriedly eating lunch at Wu Jia Gou, Zhang Banxian did not dare to delay at all and urged everyone to continue their journey. His heart burned with anxiety as he said, ”Luoyang is at the moment where the new and the old are changing. ”What's the matter? Let's walk along the road and talk.”
After knowing that the Zhang Banxian was his advisor, Wu Feng did not dare to be careless, and immediately led his men, following the Zhang Banxian and the rest on their journey to the Luoyang. While walking, he introduced the situation of the Luoyang to Zhang Banxian, ”Military Advisor, the current situation of the Luoyang is extremely tense. Although the New Emperor has succeeded the throne, the Queen Dong and Empress Dowager He are still fighting.
”Oh …” The Zhang Banxian did not understand the situation of the Luoyang, nor did he know about the internal struggles within the palace. He asked doubtfully, ”Since the New Emperor has already succeeded to the throne, and the Empress Dowager He is in charge of the court, she already has the authority.
”Sigh …” This is a long story! ” Wu Feng let out a long sigh, and shook his head helplessly: ”When the Hanling Emperor was dying, he was staying in Queen Dong's sleeping quarters, the Nan Gong Gardner Hall. At that time, he only had one eunuch by his side, and Jian Shuo, who was then a member of the Little Yellow Gate, took the testamentary edict from the Spirit Emperor. Jian Shuo took out an edict for the Riding General and the Youzhou's history. He had Li Yu go to the Youzhou to pass down the edict, and hid the other edict for the throne. ”
”That Jian Shuo is just a eunuch, isn't he too daring?” Zhang Banxian was shocked, although she had heard many people say before that the Eunuch was a power that monopolized politics, to the extent where they could actually act so arrogantly, to the point where they even dared to hide the Emperor's testamentary edict.
