After returning to Chang'an City from Bashang Camp, Tian Lingzi kept a gloomy face.Thinking of him as a lieutenant of the Shence Army and an envoy of the Privy Council, he alone occupies two of the four nobles in Beijing, and he is the father of the emperor. In Chang'an, he holds the sky with one hand and has great power.In the past, people who wanted to give him money had to line up, and they had to wait for his mood before accepting it, but today, Tian Lingzi brought 200 million coins to give to Zhen [***], and the other party was actually picky and picky. Fourth, ask him to change it into copper coins.

He humbly wanted to visit Li Jing, but these short-sighted Qiu Ba dared to make irresponsible remarks to him, telling him to get out of his mouth.

Since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has never suffered such a feeling of humiliation.

This emotion lingered in his chest for a long time, but was finally suppressed by him.Tian Lingzi was able to climb from a small horse workshop to where he is today, not because of blind flattery and flattery.He has a good vision and can always seize opportunities at critical moments, and it is only because of the relationship with the little emperor that far surpasses the relationship between Jun Ju that he can reach today.In the late Tang Dynasty, most of the eunuchs in the Datang Palace were from Fujian. It can be said that nine of the ten eunuchs in the Daming Palace were from Fujian.For example, Yang Fugong, Yang Fuguang and other prominent eunuchs in the palace were all from Fujian.But Tian Lingzi was from Xuzhou, Henan, so he entered the palace on the spot, and even if he tried his best in the end, he could only worship under a very low-ranking old eunuch surnamed Tian.

But with his vision and the special relationship with today's emperor, he gradually became the most powerful eunuch in the palace.In Datang, apart from the current son Li Xuan, he was the hottest second person.Even Lu Xie, the prime minister of the DPRK, relied on his help to get a good position.

But Tian Lingzi was not dazzled by power, and today's experience made him suddenly sober.

"Go to the Xiangguo's mansion!" Tian Lingzi sat in the carriage and suddenly shouted at the guards outside.

Along the way, Tian Lingzi sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Yu Cong's father was Yu Ao, and the Yu family was famous for its family history.When Yu Ao was young, he became a Jinshi, and successively served in many vassal shogunate. In the sixth year of Yuanhe, he really paid homage to the supervisory censor, and transferred to the palace. Governor.In the fourth year of Changqing, he became a doctor of the Ministry of officials.In that year, he moved to Shizhong.He was transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, moved to the Ministry of Punishment, and served as the Observation Envoy of Xuanshe and concurrently as the Censor Zhongcheng.

Yu Ao's four sons, Yu Qiu, Yu Cang, Yu Gui, and Yu Cong, were all Jinshi and ranked first.The last four sons were all big officials in the frontiers of a town. Yu Cong was the first to be a small official, and he was not used for heavy use. Later, he became a Jinshi.Since many noble families at that time were unwilling to marry the daughters of the royal family, the emperor had to choose a son-in-law among Jinshi.In the beginning, Yu Cong was ordered to marry Princess Yongfu and worshiped the consort as the captain, but Princess Yongfu was pampered. Tang Xuanzong thought that "this could be a wife for a scholar", so he married Princess Guangde to Yu Cong instead.He was the minister of the military department of the Liguan, and the salt and iron transfer envoy of various roads. In the eighth year of Xiantong, he was an official to Tongping Zhangshi.Later, he was framed by Wei Baoheng, and Yu's family was demoted.After Li Xuan succeeded to the throne, the Yu clan was reactivated, and Yu Cong was reinstated as prime minister.

In addition to Yu Ao's death and Yu Cong's prime minister in the court, Yu Qiuyuan was implicated and demoted to the governor of Yazhou after he was appointed as Lingnan Rongguan Jinglue envoy. Duke of Cangwu County.Yu Yu was originally the envoy of Ziqing Jiedu, later demoted to Sima of Dengzhou, and then reused as the defense envoy of Fengzhou Capital. Now he is promoted to Jiedu envoy of Zhenwu Army Jia Tongping Zhangshi, Wei Guogong.Yu Gui was formerly the Observation Envoy of Hunan, and was later demoted to be the Inspector of Yuanzhou. Later, he was reused as the Jiedu Envoy of Shannan Dongdao, Jia Tongping Zhangshi, and the Duke of Yong'an County.

After Yu Cong returned to the court, he granted the crown prince Shaofu, worshiped the right servant She, joined the same order, and entered the political affairs hall as a chancellor.

The whole Yu family is very beautiful now, although Yu Cong can only be ranked No.4 in the political affairs.But on the one hand, Yu Cong is a son-in-law, and on the other hand, the four brothers of the Yu family are all in high positions.Four brothers, one prime minister and three envoys.

When Tian Lingzi's carriage arrived, someone had already reported to Yu Cong in the mansion.After hearing this, Yu Cong was a little strange. Although Tian Lingzi was in power, Yu Cong and him were not too close.In the past, the two of them had no relationship, so why Tian Lingzi actually came to visit the mansion in person now.

Princess Guangde was playing Shuanglu with Yu Cong, chatting about homework, and sitting next to her was Yu Luozhen, a beautiful and intelligent kabuki whom the princess had found for Yu Cong.Although Princess Guangde is a royal princess, she is not a savage princess like Princess Yongfu.At the beginning, Yu Cong was demoted to the governor of Shaozhou.Princess Guangde accompanied him, taking care to prevent Yu Cong from being killed.A eunuch brought poisoned wine, the princess scolded the eunuch and threw away the poisoned wine, saving Yu Cong's life.After returning to Beijing, she even took the initiative to find a beautiful woman like Yu Luozhen to be her husband's concubine.

"Tian Lingzi must have come here because of the Zhen[***] incident. I heard that Li Jing's life and death are unknown, and Zhen[***] is very angry. It's like cooking oil in a fire. If I'm not careful, I don't know. What kind of disaster will it cause? I heard that the emperor admired Li Jing very much, this time Tian Lingzi assassinated Li Jing twice in a row, and it was because he had protected Tian Lingzi before, this matter has already aroused the anger of the emperor." Guang Princess De is graceful and luxurious, she is only in her early thirties, when she is beautiful and mature, she wears a gown with long sleeves to add extravagance, shaking her color while giving her husband an analysis with a chuckle.

Yu Luozhen poured wine for the two of them at the side, and the loser was punished with a glass of wine. At this time, he also interjected: "Today, Tian Lingzi suffered a big loss. The emperor ordered him to send 200 million coins to Zhen [***]. At the beginning, I sent the flying money to Ziguifang, but it was rejected by the town [***], so I had to go back and raise copper coins to send. The convoy of sending money stretched for dozens of miles, and the effort has not yet been delivered. Woolen cloth."

Yu Cong was the youngest of the four brothers of the Yu family. He was only in his forties at the time, with a slightly taller medium build, slightly pale complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and five long beards.As the deputy chief officer of Shangshu Province, how could he not understand the current situation.

After Li Jing's assassination and serious injury, now there are town [***] officers and men who are passionate outside, and people like Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong, and Zhang Tai are aggressive inside. Even in the political affairs hall, the wind direction has changed now.In the past, Lu Xie had Tian Lingzi backing him, and it could be said that he felt like he was in the political affairs hall, but now, Zheng Tian has joined forces with Wang Duo, and he is pressing Lu Xie every step of the way.The entire palace and political affairs hall have seen great changes because of Li Jing's assassination.

After thinking about it for a while, he understood that in the political affairs hall, apart from the old Li Wei who didn't care about everything, only Yu Cong was left who was still neutral and did not participate in the battle between the two cousins, Lu Xie and Zheng Tian. go.

Not only do I remain neutral, but more importantly, my brother Yu Yu is also Li Jing's teacher. How can I say this, I can say something to the generals in the town [***].

"Husband, are you really going to help Tian Lingzi? Or just say that you are unwell, and forget it." Princess Guangde also didn't have the slightest affection for Tian Lingzi.

Yu Cong held a chess piece in his hand but didn't put it down for a long time. He sighed and said, "National affairs are the most important thing right now. If Zhen [***] really makes something happen...."

Tian Lingzi's carriage had just stopped in front of the gate of the mansion, and before the gatekeeper Ding came to deliver the post, Yu Cong had already greeted him outside the gate.

"The wind is cold and the night is cold, but Mr. Tian came to the door in person, making the shabby house luxuriant!"

Tian Lingzi got out of the car and cupped his hands, with a rare politeness on his face. "I'm still worried that Yu Xiangguo is still handling official business in the Political Affairs Hall. It seems that God has favored us."

"Tian Gong's words are serious, come, Tian Gong will follow me into the mansion."

Tian Lingzi stepped forward and took Yu Cong's arm affectionately and entered Yu Cong's mansion together. Yu Cong sneered in his heart. This treatment, except for the emperor, Tian Lingzi is probably the only one who treats him like this.But he knew in his heart that Tian Lingzi was so enthusiastic because he had something to ask for.

Yu Cong didn't invite Tian Lingzi into the study, but only led him into the flower hall for guests, which inevitably seemed a bit polite.There was no dissatisfaction on Tian Lingzi's face, just a smile on his face.The two sat down as guests and hosts, the maid served them tea, and then retreated, Yu Cong picked up the teacup, knowingly asked with a smile: "I wonder what is the purpose of Mr. Tian's visit today?"

Tian Lingzi chuckled: "I heard that Yu Xiang just took in a beautiful girl. Our family didn't know that it was rude to forget to accompany the gift. Today I passed by and came to make up for it. He took out a bag from his sleeve. A stack of flying money from several big cabinets in Chang'an was delivered to him.

Yu Cong only glanced at it, and his eyelids twitched.In front of him are ten flying coins, all of which are the labels of various cabinets in Chang'an, and each of them is actually worth as much as 100 guan.With such a large amount of flying money, it is estimated that only people like Tian Lingzi can keep it. [-] million guan, this Tian Lingzi is a big deal.

"What is Mr. Tian's intention? It's just a room on one side. How dare you accept such a big gift." The money is not easy to collect, so Yu Cong pushed it back.

Tian Lingzi quickly stretched out his hand to hold Yu Cong's hand: "Mr. Yu, please listen to our family."

He said with a long sigh, frowned and said quietly: "To tell you the truth, we did have some feuds with Li Zhenguo in the past, and the Gaoling County matter was my second brother's presumptuous opinion, His Majesty has already reprimanded us for this matter. We originally planned to hold a banquet with Li Zhenguo after Li Zhenguo entered the city, and smile away our grievances. But who knew that Li Zhenguo was suddenly assassinated in Bashang, and now everyone is saying that I ordered this matter. I am wronged. But the terrible thing is that the assassin used to belong to me, but we swear to Tiantian that we never ordered him to assassinate Li Jing. Now we are covered in mouths, and we can’t tell if we jumped into the Yellow River.”

Tian Lingzi seemed to have haggarded a lot. These words have been stuck in his heart, and they were indeed sincere words.

"Now His Majesty and everyone agree that I did it, and I can't explain it. But our family really wants to settle the matter. Your Majesty asked us to send money to the town [***] to appease us. We didn't refuse, but Zhen [***] has too much prejudice against us. We are only focused on calming down this matter now. Prime Minister Yu has always had prestige in the court, and he is the brother of Teacher Li Jing and Yu Shuai, so we will entrust this matter to Yu Shuai. Our family is very grateful for the mediation of the Prime Minister. A mere amount of money, Wan Wang accepts it, it is considered a little hard work."

Yu Cong knew it well, it seemed that Tian Lingzi felt a crisis, and now he wanted to deal with this matter as soon as possible, so as not to continue and make things worse.

"In that case, I will do my best." Yu Cong nodded. (To be continued.)
