    "Replying to my father, according to the news from Hai'er's subordinates at night, Tie Pili of Pili Villa was betrayed by his subordinates and died in the rebellion." Hou Gongji said respectfully.  "Is Tie Pili dead? Doesn't Pili Villa exist in name only?" Hou Shilu's face moved, with a hint of joy on his face. Although he and Tie Pili were both Han Chinese, one was an officer and soldier, and the other was a horse bandit.  Naturally, they are at odds with each other.  "Father, although Iron Pili is dead, Pili Villa still exists. It was taken over by a horse bandit named Silver Wolf, and he was even more cruel to the horse bandits on the grassland. If you don't obey, you will die. It can be said that on the grassland,  We will soon be plunged into a bloody storm." Hou Gongji showed a hint of excitement on his face.  "What, you want to go to the grassland?" What kind of person is Hou Shilu? How could he not understand what his son was thinking, so he asked with a smile.  "Now that the grassland is in chaos, isn't this a good time for the imperial court to send troops?" Hou Gongji said with some displeasure.  "Sending troops without authorization is like rebellion." Hou Shilu shook his head and said: "Besides, a chaotic grassland is better than a unified grassland. Once the grassland is unified, the king of the grassland will send troops to attack the Central Plains. For our Ming Dynasty,  It's definitely a disaster. " "But this is the best opportunity to attack the grassland." Hou Gongji said with an obviously unwilling look on his face: "Now, Lin Danhan is old and Jiannu has been prostituted.  The captain went back to inflict wounds. It can be said that the grassland at this time is the best time for our court to send troops. As long as our Xuanfu sends tens of thousands of troops, we can sweep across the grassland. By that time, we may not be able to destroy Lin Dan Khan in the west, and  "Idiot, do you think you are the only one who can see this?" Hou Shilu looked angry and said coldly: "Remember, there are many people in this world who are worse than you.  Smart people. Let¡¯s not talk about others, let¡¯s talk about Jiannu! Jiannu used to share the grassland with Lin Danhan, but now he suffered a big loss under Li Xin. I think many tribes on the grassland only recognize fists.  People who have bigger fists will listen to whoever has them. In the past, they listened to the imperial court, then they listened to Lin Dan Khan, and then they listened to Jiannu. Now that all three parties have lost control of the grassland, there must be a group of heroes coming together, but whether it is Lin Dan Khan  Or even the Jiannu slaves would not watch this happen on the grassland. If they guessed correctly, they would set up a target and let the grassland tribes attack these targets. When they were almost defeated, they would then  Attack in one fell swoop, unify the grasslands, and then invade the Central Plains. "What is the goal that my father mentioned?" Hou Gongji's expression changed and he asked in surprise.  "Prostitute Li Xin, Colonel Yao." Hou Shilu said with a complicated look in his eyes: "In history, no Han people have been able to gain a foothold on the grassland. His appearance will definitely arouse the hostility of the grassland tribes. These  If people don't attack Li Xin, who will they attack? " "How many troops does Li Xin have?" Hou Gongji shook his head and said, "It's a pity that Li Xin, who is so brave and good at fighting, won.  Such an end. " "Yes! It's a pity that he is not a scholar. In other words, he has no one in the court. Otherwise, according to his merits, he can still sit in the position of father and do it well.  He must be better than me." Hou Shilu raised the sword in his hand and sighed: "Sometimes, I really want to change places with Li Xin, holding a steel sword in my hand, and slaying the slaves in the battlefield. It's a pity, I learned a lot.  Wu Yi was originally to serve the imperial court, but now he is sitting in the Xuan Mansion, but he is watching the bloody storm on the grassland, but he cannot take advantage of such a good situation. " "Father, I don't think we are the most anxious at this time."  Hou Gongji suddenly thought of something and said proudly: "In this Xuan Mansion, there are people who are more anxious than my father. Maybe they will help my father fulfill his wish and struggle on the grassland!" "Are you talking about the eight major families?" Hou Shilu looked at him with a look on his face.  With a change, the fierce light in his eyes disappeared, and he finally sighed: "They are very anxious. In front of them is Li Xin, blocking their way to the east, and behind, there is the Silver Wolf Cholera Grassland, which prohibits business travel, and I still have  I heard that the Silver Wolf is specifically looking for the eight major families. Now I am afraid that the eight major families have no chance of leaving. "That's right. Yesterday, I went to the horse market and there were many fewer businessmen."  I hope the grassland will calm down soon!" Hou Gongji was a little gloating.  "They have already come to the door." Hou Shilu pointed to the corner and said: "Seeing that there is no 600,000 taels of silver, please ask us to send troops. They said that they will soon get through the joints of the court, and there will be news from the cabinet soon.  Let us Xuanfu send troops to the grassland. ""Six hundred thousand taels of silver. These eight great families are really generous. They gave us six hundred thousand taels in one breath." Hou Gongji said coldly: "It's just these six hundred thousand taels.How many taels can they earn back from 10,000 taels?  Is it true that our army of Ming Dynasty serves these people?  "    "so what?  Hou Shilu said disdainfully: "Does this kind of thing happen rarely?"  One of you and I is the commander-in-chief and the other is the staff-general. Naturally, we receive salaries from the court, but what about the brothers below?  Some of them haven't changed their uniforms for several years, and some of them have rusty knives, and they've had one meal without finishing another. These people need silver, you know?  Look again, the soldiers and horses of our Xuanfu, from the generals to the soldiers, probably all know that the eight major families headed by the Fan family are smuggling prohibited items, but what can they do? Even I turn a blind eye.  , close one eye.  why is that?  It's not just for the money.  With this money, we can support more armies, and those civilian officials will not touch us?  Otherwise, I am ostensibly the commander-in-chief of Xuanda, but I can be transferred with just a piece of paper from the cabinet or even the Ministry of War.  If we don't cooperate, these people will be replaced by someone who is willing to cooperate with them.  Money can make all the difference. In the current imperial court, even people like Li Xin are willing to stay outside, even in a small name, rather than truly submit to the imperial court.  Because he knew that as long as he surrendered to the court, some officials in the court would not let him go, so he simply came to the grassland.  Some people in the court had nothing to do with him.  " "Father, who do you think that Silver Wolf is?  How dare you go against the eight great families?  I wonder if any of the horse bandits on this grassland don't know the origins of the Eight Great Families, but this Silver Wolf quietly gathered thousands of people to look for trouble in the Eight Great Events. He is very courageous. Isn't he afraid of the Eight Great Families?  Are you going to cause trouble for him?  "Hou Gongji thought for a while and asked. "No matter what, he has occupied Pili Villa now. It will be difficult to deal with him.  Hou Shilu shook his head and said: "However, according to the previous rules, these merchants have always been polite before fighting. If nothing unexpected happens, at this time, I am afraid that the eight aristocratic families will start giving money to the Silver Wolf again. They can do it without fighting.  If they don't fight, fighting will consume time, and fighting will cost them more.  It would be best if he could bribe Silver Wolf.  " "Father, will this silver wolf be bribed?  "Hou Gongji asked. "If Silver Wolf is bribed, he will not repeatedly cause trouble to the eight great families.  Hou Shilu shook his head and said: "Yinlang will not be bribed, because he is a smart man and knows that he has offended the eight aristocratic families a lot. Even if the eight aristocratic families temporarily surrender, as long as the eight aristocratic families can recover,  Naturally, they will settle accounts with him. Look at that Iron Thunderbolt. Why he failed was not caused by the rebellion of the people around him. My son would not rebel just because he thought the people around him were fine!  " "Father believes that these people have been bribed by the eight major families, so he can give Tie Pili a blow at the most critical moment, completely replace Tie Pili, and continue to work for the eight major families?  "Hou Gongji was shocked when he heard this, glanced around, and finally sighed. "You know it too?  Hou Shilu smiled bitterly and said: "The eight aristocratic families are pervasive. Someone once said that if the eight aristocratic families want to know which palace the emperor stayed in last night, within an hour, someone will spread the news from inside the palace to outside the palace."  Where is this family? The foundation of the eight major families is close to here. You and my son are sitting in the Xuan Mansion, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Under such circumstances, it means that the lives of the eight major families are in the hands of you and my son. If you  It's one of the eight aristocratic families. Would you be willing to put your life and money in the hands of others?  " Hou Gongji shook his head. This situation is naturally impossible to happen. Although Hou Gongji is very brave, he is not willing to put his life in the hands of others. "So you also know some things, as a father  Usually he stays in the house and doesn't go out much.  "Hou Shilu also felt a sense of sadness. A dignified first-class official, but he still had to be careful about those business travelers. If the word spread, it would make people laugh out loud. "My child understands.  "Hou Gongji also nodded. At this time, he realized that even though he was a general, in fact, the entire Xuanfu was not in the hands of his father and son, but in the hands of the Eight Great Masters hiding in the dark.  In the hands of the aristocratic families, these eight aristocratic families may have already controlled the entire army with their money. Presumably, the Xuanfu garrison back then naturally did not need to be afraid of the eight aristocratic families. However, as the eight aristocratic families had more and more money, in order to facilitate their exit, they  Using a large amount of money to bribe Xuanda's troops, until now, the soldiers of the General Military Mansion might be bribed. Fortunately, the father and son did not say anything just now, otherwise, they would not even die.  Who knows how he died? The food and drinks in Xuanfu are all provided by the eight major families! At least nine out of ten shops on Xuanfu Street are run by the eight major families.  Yes, it would be extremely easy for these people to kill the Hou family and his son.
