When Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial College, was following the Deputy eunuch, there was a man following him behind him.

This man is Zheng Huchen, the head of the imperial army.

Of course, he had seen the power of Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the imperial palace. He just watched his whereabouts from a distance and didn't dare to get too close to him.

The Deputy Eunuch in charge was newly promoted, and he was too far away. Who was the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, Dong songchen, following? In fact, he didn't know who was the leader of the imperial army.

She just saw from a distance that the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, Dongsong City, had gone to the mansion of former Prime Minister Ding Daquan.

After listening to his report, the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, said: "this matter seems to be more and more complicated, and even involved the two people."

"It really doesn't look easy." Zheng Huchen Road, commander of the imperial army.

Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said: "among the eunuchs in the harem, they regard Dong songchen as the most respected. Generally, they don't pay attention to him at all, and they don't follow him in person. This time, he follows him personally, which shows that his identity and what he wants to do are definitely not simple."

"It's convenient for you to go in and out of the palace to protect the safety of the palace. Now go into the palace to find out if something unusual has happened." He added.

Zheng Huchen, the general manager of the imperial guards, agreed and went to the palace to find new clues.

Sitting there, the certifier thought for a while. The Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. It seems that I should go to meet this old friend for a while."

Thinking of this, he got up, told the servants in his mansion to prepare a small sedan for him, and went out.

The old friend that Minister Wen Tianxiang of the Ministry of punishment wants to meet is Ding Daquan, the former prime minister.

In his opinion, although this man is losing power, the connection between him and the eunuch Dong songchen, the chief eunuch of the University, has never been broken.

Today, Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, went to this man's residence. He must have told him some secrets that others didn't know.

This man is the enemy of prime minister Jia Sidao, and the relationship between Jia Sidao and himself is not very good. Although Wen Tianxiang is also dissatisfied with Ding Daquan, he thinks that at this time, when he goes to Ding Daquan, they may have something to say.

In terms of his qualifications in the court, Ding Daquan is more advanced than Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment. At this time, although Ding Daquan lost his power and met the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, he still put on the air of being prime minister.

It is said that the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, has come. Instead of going out to meet him, he asked the housekeeper of his residence to go out on his behalf. He is still sitting on the chair in the living room.

"I've met Mr. Ding." After the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, came in, he bowed himself and said.

Ding Daquan didn't get up to return the gift. He just waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wen, please sit down."

Then he asked the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, what happened when he came here.

Mr. Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, didn't directly state the purpose of his trip. He just euphemistically said that he came to see him.

"Since I lost my prime minister's position, I've been a bird at the door. I didn't expect you, Mr. Wen, to come. You're a very nice person!" Ding Daquan.

Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said: "today, the emperor is always very tolerant towards his ministers. You are losing your power now, and maybe you will be used again one day."

"The last meeting of emperor's son-in-law was appointed by the emperor and presided over by you personally. If the emperor had forgotten you, he would not have given you such a chance." He added.

When he said this, Ding Daquan was really happy. He said with a little pride: "I have worked for the emperor for so many years, and the emperor still recognizes me. I have come to this point. Frankly speaking, it's all the calculation of the old thief Jia Sidao."

Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, is thinking about how to transfer the topic of both sides to the prime minister Jia Sidao.

I didn't expect that it would take no effort. Ding Daquan actually mentioned Jia Sidao.

"In fact, my Lord, you and Jia Xiang are our predecessors. It's really hard for me to comment on the enmity between you two." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

He added: "but there is one thing that I can tell you clearly."

"What's the matter, Mr. Wen?" Ding Daquan asked.

The Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, replied, "no matter who it is, as long as it endangers the present saint, it is Wen Tianxiang's enemy."

"On the contrary, if anyone defends the emperor and the Song Dynasty, he is my friend." He added.

He said this, let Ding Daquan's heart move, heart way: "if you can pull this person to his side, that for himself, but greatly beneficial."

"Mr. Wen, we may have been suspicious of each other before, but from now on, I will treat you sincerely." Ding Daquan.He added: "in order to show my sincerity, I want to tell you something important about the safety of the imperial court."

"The old man lives outside the temple, and he has this heart. I really admire him." After hearing this, Lord Wen Tianxiang said.

Ding Daquan lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious: "it is said that Jia Yu, the old thief, in order to please the emperor, even tempts him to go to the brothel to have fun."

It's not a secret for the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang. He already knew about it through the commander of the Imperial Army, Zheng Huchen.

"How do you know, my lord?" After hearing this, Mr. Wen Tianxiang asked.

Ding Daquan did not answer the question of Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, but continued: "it doesn't matter."

"What is more important than that?" The Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, asked.

Ding Daquan talked about what he had discussed with the eunuch in charge of the University.

"It's said that the sage is in the brothel all night, but the sage is in the palace. It's really a problem worth pondering." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.

Ding Daquan said: "I have a hypothetical topic. I don't know whether to say it or not."

"For the sake of the Lord, you can say whatever you think of in your heart. There's no need to worry about it." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

Ding Daquan asked: "if the saint who stayed in the palace is fake, what can he do?"

"Is this your personal opinion or the result of discussion with whom?" The Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, asked in reply.

This conjecture is indeed the result of the discussion between Ding Daquan and Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, but it is impossible for him to say this to Mr. Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

After listening to Wen Tianxiang's question, he said, "you'd better have my wishful thinking at that time."

"If it is true, Jia Sidao is committing a heinous crime." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

Ding Daquan said: "today's court, I'm afraid only just people like you, Lord Wen, dare to investigate this matter."

You know, this is a powder keg. If it's not done well, it's just a big bang.

Ding Daquan told Lord Wen Tianxiang what he and eunuch Dong songchen suspected. First, he could let Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, accept his own favor. Second, he could let Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, rush in front of him. He could also take the helm to see who is in the final favor.

On the surface, he is helping Mr. Wen Tianxiang. In fact, he wants to play with him.

From this, we can see that Ding Daquan, like Jia Sidao, is actually a crafty man.

Of course, Mr. Wen Tianxiang can also vaguely detect Ding Daquan's tricks.

But Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, is a man of integrity. In the face of crisis, he always knows that there is a tiger in the mountain, and he is inclined to the tiger mountain.

"In your opinion, where should the investigation begin?" Minister Wen Tianxiang of the Ministry of punishment asked him.

Ding Daquan replied without thinking: "of course it's in the palace."

"I've already thought of two helpers for you." He added.

"Who?" asked Wen Tianxiang, Minister of punishment

"Eunuch Dong songchen, the head of the imperial palace." Ding Daquan replied.

Of course, Minister Wen Tianxiang of the Ministry of punishment knows that the eunuch Dong songchen and Ding Dacheng are all close friends. If she says so, he must have made an agreement with the eunuch Dong songchen. As long as he goes to find the eunuch Dong songchen, the head of the Imperial Palace, he will promise to cooperate with himself.

"My Lord, you just know that I have no friendship with Mr. Dong in the inner palace." However, he pretended to be very embarrassed and said: "this matter is of great importance. If we go to Mr. Dong rashly, if he doesn't agree, it won't be good."

The Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, said that he wanted to force Ding Daquan to talk about the relationship between himself and the eunuch Dong songchen.

But this kind of thing, Ding Daquan is impossible to say.

"Mr. Wen, manager Dong has been serving the emperor for decades. I'm afraid he doesn't want anything to happen to the emperor. If he is sincere, I believe he will help you." Ding Daquan.

To this extent, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, nodded and said, "well, if you find the right opportunity, I'll have a try."

"Lord Wen, if you bring down the old thief Jia Sidao this time, the emperor will surely make you Lord Wen the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty." Search for Ding Daquan.

He added: "when the time comes, you, Mr. Wen, should take care of me a lot."

"I do this for the sake of the emperor. I don't have much interest in the position of prime minister." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

Ding Daquan said: "Mr. Wen, you have always been indifferent to fame and wealth. I know this and I can't admire it. But you have to know that if you want to play better for Song Dynasty, you must be in the position. Otherwise, your ideal and revenge will be difficult to realize.""My Lord, I think that if you really want to do something, you can make achievements even if you are a magistrate. But if you always think about your own honor or disgrace, you will become the prime minister. I'm afraid you may not ask for help for the people." Tianxiang great humanity.

Those who don't have to think differently about being an official.

Ding Daquan and Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, are people of different worlds. Naturally, they have different ways of being officials.

Both of them know this very well.

After listening to the old saying of Tianxiang, "this is not the way that you should be punished by the old man."

So far as they say, it's natural that they can't go on any more.

The Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, said it was important to investigate emperor LiZong, so he got up and left Ding Daquan's residence.

Back in the Imperial Palace, the eunuch Dong songchen went directly to the empress Xie Daoqing.

"Mr. Dong, what's the matter with you?" Queen Xie Daoqing asked.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University, told her about tracking the Deputy eunuch.

Empress Xie Daoqing frowned and said, "the people who are in charge of the inner Treasury have also told the palace that it is the eunuch, the new deputy head of the official family, who has raised a large sum of money from the inner Treasury by the imperial edict, but has not said what it is for."

"Do you know who she gave the money to?" She asked again.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, replied, "the man who accepted the silver is very mysterious, and I don't know where he is."

"Now the eunuchs in the palace are more and more unruly. What do you do as a eunuch in charge? You don't know how to control them!" Queen Xie Daoqing reprimanded him.

After hearing this, Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, said: "well, you are the queen. You are the head of the harem. People don't pay attention to you. You are angry in your heart, but you send it to me. What kind of thing is that?"

I think so, but he is a slave after all. In the face of Jia Sidao's rebuke, she can only wrongly explain to the queen Xie Daoqing: "empress, the old slave also has the difficulties of the old slave."

"You are the red man around the officials. What's the difficulty?" Queen Xie Daoqing asked.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial College, replied: "it used to be said that, but now the situation is different."

"If the officials have anything to do now, they don't talk to the old slave at all. They just let the newly appointed Deputy Chief eunuch do it." He added.

Empress Xie Daoqing said: "you have been waiting on the official family for so long, but you can't be a little eunuch. You are really disappointing to our palace."

"The old slave can't do it." The eunuch Dong Song Chen Dao, the general manager of Inner Mongolia.

He also said: "now the old slave can only rely on the empress you to make the decision for the old slave. Take care of this deputy eunuch who doesn't know the superiority of heaven and earth."

"You are very good at talking. You put the matter on the head of our palace." Queen Xie Daoqing listened to his words, not happy.
