Tong Guan's body was found in an inn outside Bianjing, and Tong Guan left a letter.

Zhao Huan probably looked at it and realized why Tong Guan died.

He was first a eunuch, and after leaving the palace, he would be useless.

How could he bear such a crime after being a powerful man for decades?

Now that the Supreme Emperor Rong is in Genyue Palace, he no longer has any value for existence.

Therefore, Tong Guan did not express his ambitions by death, and did not use it for the new emperor, but had other purposes.

Why did Zhao Huan want to use Tong Guan again? Because in the eunuch team, Tong Guan is more manly than Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou lived to be eighty-one years old and had no son, and Zhao Huan agreed that he was a castrator.

After Emperor Huizong of Song ascended the throne, Tong Guan went to Longyou Protectorate ten times and visited the Northwest Five Routes many times. He was very familiar with the military affairs in the Northwest. He stayed in the Yang family, the Zhe family, the Zhong family, and the Yang family many times to understand the talents of the generals of the Western Army.

This also allowed him to gain the power to supervise the army for the first time in April of the third year of Chongning.

The Longyou Protectorate has always been the focus of the battle between the Tubo tribes, the Western Regions, and the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty.

When Zhang Dun established the Longyou Jiedu Army, although Longyou had nominally belonged to the Song Dynasty.

However, relying on military forts to occupy it, the Tubo tribes repeatedly rallied in the Qingtang area of ​​Huangzhou.

In April of the third year of Chongning, Wang Hou was the commander and joined forces to attack Qingtang again with 100,000 troops, intending to regain part of the Qingtang area occupied by the Qiang people.

At that time, 100,000 soldiers were hoarded in Huangzhou, and Tong Guan received a handwritten edict, which was issued by Emperor Huizong of Song, and the order given to Tong Guan was to retreat.

Because of a fire in the palace, unknown.

After reading and folding the handwriting, Tong Guan put it in his boots. Wang Hou asked about the content of the handwriting, Tong Guan smiled and said, "The official hopes that our troops will succeed."

Wang Hou is very calm!

Then the troops set sail for Qingtang to seize the four prefectures, completely consolidating the position of the Song Dynasty in the Longyou Protectorate.

After this battle, the Tubo tribes knew that they could not fight with the Song Dynasty and won the victory, so they went to bully Dali.

The countries in the Western Regions also began to play rally with the Great Food Kingdom.

In the first year of Zhenghe, Tong Guan finally climbed from Lanhuang, Xihe, Qinfeng Road, to the governor of Wukang Army, and attacked Xige Brother Zang Zheng, recovered Jishi Army, and Taozhou. He was promoted to the prosecutor Sikong.

In the first year of Zhenghe, Tong Guan went to the Liao Kingdom.

Although the Liao Kingdom was already exhausted at that time, there were still talented people like Yelu Yuji and good generals like Yelu Dashi.

Before the Jin people killed the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom was always a mountain above the heads of the Jin people and the Song people.

It was also the time when he was on an envoy, Yelu Yuji, who was trapped in horses, lost to Master Zhong.

In the same year, Tong Guan returned to the northwest again, and ordered the army to enter the Hengshan area of ​​Xixia, completely perfected the military fort tactics left by Zhang Dun, and finally drove Xixia out of Hengshan.

This move turned the offensive and defensive momentum of the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty into the Song Dynasty's ability to send troops to conquer the Western Xia at any time.

The following year, Tong Guan led Qin Fenglu and Jinzhong troops to He and Long, and the troops forced Xingqing Prefecture. However, because Tong Guan's improper command led to Liu Fa's death in battle. The Song army was greatly shocked and the general died. The army was depressed and the army was in a bad mood, so he had to withdraw his troops.

In the second year of Xuanhe, the dragon in Jiangnan turned over, and the harm caused by the major earthquake was the Fang La Uprising.

At this time, Wang Fu, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, hid the military newspaper of Fang La's uprising until Fang La made a loud noise and proclaimed himself emperor.

When Fang La carried millions of troops to show signs of great success, Song Huizong ordered Tong Guan to lead his troops to quell the rebellion.

In the fourth year of Xuanhe, Tong Guan took 450 days to travel from Taiyuan to Jiangnan, defeat Fang La, and then to the stable south, and implemented the policy of winning one household in Song Huizong, and returned to the court.

When the army turned back to Bianjing and then back to Taiyuan, there was no rest for a moment.

In the fourth year of Xuanhe, he began to attack Liao with the Jin Kingdom.

The exhausted army naturally suffered a great defeat.

And there is also a weird marching guide to "killing one person and joining the military law" that will be taken from it.

How could the Song army, who was reluctant to win?

When the Jin people went south, Tong Guan's 70,000 Jiesheng Army was stationed in Taiyuan City. Hearing that the Jin people went south and the troops were so fierce that they escaped overnight. The army traveled hundreds of miles overnight and ran back to Bianjing within a few days.

However, Jiesheng Army was left near Maling Pass and stood by.

If we only look at Tong Guan's first half of his life and what Tong Guan did, if the Jin people had not abandoned the city and fled when they went south, he would not have been criticized for being a traitor in history.

In fact, Zhao Huan didn't ask in front of so many people.

In fact, he really wanted to ask Tong Guan, whether he had escaped at the last moment or received the order from Zhao Ji when he went to the palace thousands of miles from Taiyuan City.

The reason why Zhao Huan had such a question was because Tong Guan's behavior was really incredible. The Jin soldiers went south to him, a eunuch who had been crowned king, and actually led his troops to escape, which was extremely abnormal.

The most important thing is that Zhao Huan knew that Tong Guan handed over the military power of the Jiesheng Army and ran to find Zhao Ji Jinzhong alone.

Zhao Ji once ordered Tong Guan to lead his troops to go south with him.

So Zhao Huan really wanted to know whether Tong Guan's drama of traveling thousands of miles to the palace in Taiyuan City was his original intention or the instruction of Song Huizong?

Unfortunately, this question will never be known as Tong Guan hangs himself, and Zhao Huan also knows that later history books will never give Tong Guan an objective evaluation because he is an eunuch.

Historical books often blame women and eunuchs for the subversion of the dynasty.

Whether his escape from Taiyuan was his original intention or Zhao Ji's instruction, it has become a mystery for thousands of years.

Zhao Huan did not intend to rehabilitate Tong Guan either. He knew this because he only needed to train troops.

He thought about it carefully for a long time and felt that Tong Guan’s vision of selecting people was extremely accurate, so he wanted to use it.

Anyway, when he grabbed Zhao Ji, Tong Guan didn't dare to think about anything else.

His Tong Guan's master Zhao Ji was not prepared to make decisions for him, nor was he going to do so.

How much truth is hidden in the wind and sand?

Zhao Huan shook his head, just die if he dies.

"Official family, how to deal with Tong Guan's body?" Zhao Ying hurriedly ran in from outside the hall and asked next to Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan was stunned. Is this big eunuch so ignorant? Do you have to ask yourself for such a small matter?

"Of course it's buried. What else can you do? Wait for him to establish a government office and the thousands of people dressed in mourning him? Once he dies, the people he won over at the beginning will definitely disperse. Why are you still going to build a mourning hall for Tong Guan?" Zhao Huan asked curiously.

Zhao Ying shook his head and said, "I guess the ministers will speak out tomorrow and hang his body on the top of the city. That's why the old minister asked this question."

Zhao Huan then realized that Zhao Ying had asked this. He thought for a while and said, "Buried it."

"Tong Guan is dead, and the body is reused and hung on the top of the city to comfort the people's hearts? What the ministers think is this?" Zhao Huan asked.

Zhao Ying nodded and said, "Maybe the disaster of the Jin soldiers, one Li Zhuo and one Wu Min, would not be enough to block the long-lasting mouths of the people in the world. Someone must have to take responsibility. Tong Guan was no longer the king. In theory, the weight was enough."

When Zhao Huan heard this, the pen in his hand stopped. Only then did he understand why Tong Guan committed suicide so resolutely. When the Jin soldiers went south, someone had to take the blame, and Tong Guan stood up and chose to take the blame.

If an eunuch is granted a king, he must be a monster.

With a little publicity, his Tong Guan's notoriety spread.

Since the culprit of the Jin people going south to threaten Bianjing was found, he took the blame and Zhao Ji naturally didn't have to take it.

"Tong Guan was not dead when you arrived, right?" Zhao Huan asked suddenly.

Zhao Ying knelt down with a thud, kowtowed repeatedly and said, "The official is wise."

Zhao Huan shook his head. His eunuch was very afraid of trouble. He was not very sure just now. He didn't tell anyone about his head.

"Get up and talk. How can you be the ancestor of the Song Dynasty palace like this? There are more than a hundred eunuchs waiting for you to uphold justice. How can you uphold this way?"

"I just said, Zhao Ying, you don't care about the foreign court at all and are indifferent. How did you think of asking me how to deal with my body? It seems that it was Tong Guan's words."

"What did Tong Guan say to his body?" Zhao Huan asked, and when dealing with other people's bodies, he had to ask the dead about the opinions.

Zhao Huan suddenly thought that he had the nickname of Ten Palaces of Yama. In this way, he was living more and more like the King of Yama.

"Tong Guan said that he was beheaded and hung on the top of the city to make the punishment correct. However, he asked the minister to let him hang the higher he wanted. Tong Guan said that he was ugly and afraid of scaring the child."

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Then let's do what Tong Guan said."

Zhao Huan originally planned to bury Tong Guan directly. If it were a civil servant's advice, he would definitely refuse. There were many kinds of party struggles in the court, and the two thousand years of misconfrontation between civil servants and eunuchs was also part of the party struggles.

Zhao Huan would never leave this grass leaf and let the eunuchs fight with civil servants.

So how do you check and balance civil officials?

Such a complicated problem is of course left to Li Gang for a headache!

The matter of the emperor controlling the prime minister, the prime minister controlling all officials, and checking and balancing civil officials is originally the matter of the prime minister.

"Okay, go." Zhao Huan asked Zhao Ying to go down, and smiled as he watched Zhao Ying walk out of the hall.

If Zhao Ying represented the eunuchs and went to war, wouldn’t he be beaten by the civil servant group led by Li Gang?

The combat power is really too low. Zhao Huan can see his little thoughts at a glance. Wasn't he even eaten alive by civil servants who are like wolves and tigers when he arrived in the court?

Zhao Huan shook his head, continued to review the letter bored, and said to himself: "Zhao Ying, when will you grow up? You are the ancestors of the palace. Can this mind be more complicated?"

Zhao Huan suddenly stopped writing, looked at Zhao Ying's figure walking out, and frowned.

What if Zhao Ying deliberately let him see it? No, he shouldn't have such a strong scheming.

Could it be that I am thinking too much?
