Compete for the Song Dynasty

Tong Xiao was happy to hear that, and couldn't help saying: "Well, this Jin Xiangong is almost as powerful as my grandfather."

It's interesting to monitor what he said: "Who is your grandfather?"

Tong Xiao thought for a while, and it seemed that his mother never said anything about not being allowed to talk about grandpa. Seeing that the old eunuch was amiable, he said, "You don't even know about my grandpa, so don't tell others, my grandpa It's called Di Qing!"

"Ah!" The old eunuch was shocked!

"Huh, how's it going? It's amazing~" Tong Xiao said while playing with the clay doll in her hand.He didn't notice the surprised look on the old eunuch's face. "So, your mother is General Di Qing's daughter?"

Tong Xiao raised his head, he looked at the eunuch, and felt that he did not have any malicious intentions: "My father told me the story of my grandfather's war." He thought carefully again.

The old eunuch stood up, he opened the door and looked in the direction of the main room, with mixed feelings in his heart, so many years have passed, who remembers the first year of Baoyuan, four years before and after the war between Song and Xixia, there was a supervisor in the court who cooperated with Di Qing fight.After dozens of battles, the supervising army sent by the imperial court has become close friends with Di Qing.

The court supervisor was a minister, and later the supervisor was named Zuo Qiji envoy, but he was still a minister and served as the chief of internal affairs.Until he knew that Di Qing was framed and Zhao Shu wanted to win him over, he ignored Zhao Shu's intentions.

In other words, he has seen through the officialdom long ago, and just wants to serve the emperor well.In order to protect the edict and Yuexia's mother and son, he hid the edict, but he didn't expect that Yuexia was the daughter of an old man, so how could he not be moved.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Tong Xiao walked up to him and asked, "Old man, are you angry?"

The eunuch had met Mrs. Di Qing in Fenzhou back then, no wonder the eunuch thought Wang Pang's wife looked familiar.The old eunuch bent down and said softly to Tong Xiao, "Go and ask your mother, there is a Zuo Qiji envoy Shi Zhicong, does she know?"

Seeing the seriousness of the old man's words, Tong Xiao hurriedly ran back to the room, entered the room and called mother, ran to Yuexia's side, and whispered: "Mother, the old man is so mysterious today, he asked me to ask you, do you know?" I don't know there is a Zuo Qiji envoy Shi Zhicong."

Yuexia stood up, why did the name sound so familiar to him, suddenly she remembered that when he was in Chenzhou, his father had told him some people before he died, and said: "I have never been like these people. My friend spoke out because she felt sorry for her daughter not being by her side since she was a child, so she should not ask for help if it is absolutely necessary in the future."

Among these people, one is Shi Zhicong.My father mentioned that he is the chief eunuch, so could it be that the old eunuch guarding him is him?

Seeing Yuexia's strange expression, Tong Xiao was startled and thought he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly said, "Mother, I told him that my grandfather is Di Qing."

"How do you know?" Yuexia asked in surprise, she had never told Tong Xiao about this.

"It was my father who told me that my grandfather was very brave!" Tong Xiao murmured.He said softly: "Mom, I know I was wrong. I won't talk about it in the future."

The tears almost didn't fall down under the moon. Her husband was so grateful for his late father, and his heart was even more moved. Seeing Tong Xiao's aggrieved look, she comforted: "Xiao'er is right, mother does not blame you, you go and invite the old man to come here." .”

Shi Zhicong was invited into the room by Yuexia, and Yuexia hurriedly bowed to Shi Zhicong, Shi Zhicong stopped him and said, "Oh, I really didn't expect that the daughter of an old man would suffer this kind of hardship." After finishing speaking, he remembered that Renzong had also passed away, and felt sad.

Yuexia said to Tong Xiao, "Xiao'er, you can show Director Shi the jade your father gave you."

"Oh!" Tong Xiao said, and took out the jade that was tucked in his clothes from his bosom. He followed Wang's example and hung this jade around his neck and put it in his clothes.

Shi Zhicong has seen Di Qing wear this jade all the time, although it is inlaid with gold, he recognizes it. "Tong Xiao, go play in the courtyard for a while, and if someone comes, come back and say, I have something important to say to your mother."

Tong Xiao looked at Yuexia, Yuexia nodded, he turned and left the room.

Shi Zhicong sighed and said: "As an eunuch, Emperor Renzong thinks highly of me, and I know that I have been favored. For so many years, I have lived in the deep palace to serve the emperor, and I don't care about worldly affairs. Alas. I only know that Wang Shilang is Di The general's lover, but he doesn't know that the girl is the daughter of General Di."[

Yuexia said softly: "Many people don't know about this matter. Back then, my mother was wronged and she was said to have a witchcraft of knowing things that I didn't know. My father left my mother. Later, in order to protect me, my father and husband did not let me To disclose that I am the daughter of my biological father."

Shi Zhicong nodded, he knew a little bit about what happened back then.After a while of silence in the room, Yuexia said: "Since Director Shi is an old friend of his biological father, I have something to ask."

Shi Zhicong hurriedly said: "Miss, don't be polite, if you have anything to say, just tell the old man."

Yuexia looked outside the door, and she knew that Zhao Shu had a feud with Wang Pang. Now that Zhao Shu has ascended the throne and became the emperor, for the sake of the emperor's face, it is even more impossible to let him go easily.But she believed that as long as Wang Pang came back, everything would be fine.Now she just feels wronged by Tong Xiao.

"Director Shi, Tong Xiao is our adopted son. It would be a pity if this child continues like this. I wonder if you can think of a way to save this child."

Shi Zhicong was very moved when he heard that, what Yuexia asked for was not for herself: "Okay, I can promise you this."

Yuexia smiled, stood up and saluted slightly.Only Tong Xiao could settle down, so she settled one thing on her mind.

Shi Zhicong said: "Your Majesty Wang's matter, you can rest assured. I heard that he has returned from the Liao Kingdom, but he was sent to Korea again. Well, to tell you the truth, the war in Korea is tense now. If you are willing to go, you will put the girl under house arrest."

After Shi Zhicong finished speaking, he looked at Yuexia, who had never asked him about Wang Pang, which made Shi Zhicong a little strange.

But Yuexia smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Shi, I don't think things are that simple." I feel that the reason why the prince imprisoned himself has something to do with the illusion Wang Bangzong told himself.

No wonder Yuexia thought so, Zhao Shu interrogated Yuexia several times about Wang Pang's sorcery, and Yue Xia always thought of what Wang Pang had told him.She believes that her husband does not know witchcraft, because she herself has the ability to sense other people's thoughts, so Yuexia understands Wang Pang more and more.

Yuexia's words gave Shi Zhicong the illusion, he thought of the imperial edict, and heard no movement outside, he whispered: "It's not easy, the prince is worried that Wang Shilang will compete with him for the world in the future."

Yue Xia was startled, she also heard from Wang Pang that the Songwen sword Wang Pang was wearing was a sword of disobedience, could it be caused by that sword?

Seeing Yuexia's surprised look, Shi Zhicong comforted Yuexia: "Don't worry, girl, I have entrusted the old man's son to tell Wang Shilang about this matter. Let him handle things carefully. Although we each perform our duties, for the sake of old friends, there will still be some Contact. I'll find a way now, Miss Yuexia waits patiently."

Shi Zhicong left Yuexia's room and returned to his own residence. He walked back and forth in the room. What should we do about this matter?Zhao Shu forced him to hand over the edict, which he said had been entrusted to others, and if he was killed, the edict would be announced to the world.Only then did Zhao Shu order him to guard Yuexia's mother and son, and dismissed him as the chief minister from his side.

Shi Zhicong thought of the queen mother, and the next day Shi Zhicong led Tong Xiao to see the queen mother. When he saw the queen mother, Shi Zhicong fell to the ground, crying with tears.The queen mother was confused by Shi Zhicong's crying, and hurriedly ordered someone to help Shi Zhicong up and asked: "Director Shi has served the emperor for many years, if there is any grievance, please let us know in the future."

Shi Zhicong wiped away his tears and said: "Qi Empress Dowager, I am a eunuch with the ability to give birth, and now I am old and have a child. Recently, I saw this child as an elf, and he has the intelligence of the old man when he was young. I want to accept this child. I implore the Empress Dowager to issue a decree to fulfill the wish of the veteran."

The queen mother was so happy when she heard it, so Shi Zhicong was smart back then?Seeing his loyalty, this is not a big deal: "Well, what is this, I will reward you with this child." The Queen Mother looked at Tong Xiao and asked, "What's your name?"

Tong Xiao had already heard what Shi Zhicong said just now, although he thought this uncle was pretty good, but he had a biological father and a adoptive father, how could he recognize his adoptive father again? "My name is Tong Xiao. I have a father. This uncle is very good. Well, can you not be his son or his apprentice?"

The queen mother laughed even more when she heard this, and even the maids around her also laughed: "You are a child, and if you want to be the apprentice of Director Shi, you have to cleanse yourself?"

Tong Xiao shook her head: "What is cleansing? Is it a bath?" The maid beside the Queen Mother bent over with a smile, and the Queen Mother also covered her mouth.After so many days, it is rare to have such a little guy, who makes the Queen Mother happy.

Shi Zhicong was annoyed and said, "Empress Dowager, Tong Xiao is too young and doesn't know how to purify himself. Why don't you wait until he is older and let him make his own decision, so as to save people from accusing the royal family of bullying little Tongzhi."

The queen mother stopped laughing: "Boss Shi is right! Tong Xiao, I will decree to let this old man be your master, but you can decide for yourself about purifying yourself, okay?"

Tong Xiao was overjoyed when she heard that: "Thank you Queen Mother, but I have a request."

Huo, such a child under ten years old dares to ask the Queen Mother.The Empress Dowager was in a better mood now, instead she smiled and asked, "Let's hear it!"

"I wonder if you can let me and my mother go home..."

The queen mother shook her head, she couldn't decide this matter: "This, no, but you can change your request."

Tong Xiao was a little disappointed, but he still had another idea. He said, "I don't want to be called Tong Xiao anymore, I can't protect my mother!"

"Oh?" The Queen Mother looked at the child with interest: "Then what do you want to be called?"

Tong Xiao listened to her chest and said, "I want to be called Tong Guan, the 'Guan' who is full of energy!"
