Late Tang

Li Xuan has disliked Tian Lingzi more and more. He stood in the hall and shook his sleeves angrily, "Zheng Congxuan and Li Keyong reversed, let Zheng Congxuan be transferred to the left guard of Dongdu, Yin of Henan, and the defense envoy of Jidu of Dongdu. It is my will that Li Keyong will take over as Jiedu envoy of Hedong, Yin of Taiyuan, stay in Beidu, and Pingzhang." He angrily announced, "I own the world, and I am the lord of the Tang Dynasty. It's not up to that bumbling eunuch to teach me how to appoint officials."

Zhang Tai picked up the letter from the ground and looked at it carefully. The letter was a private matter between Zheng Congxuan and Li Jing. One of the letters was Li Jing asking Zheng Congxuan to help trap Li Keyong in the Hedong coalition camp and not allow him to return. The battle of Yanmen.

"I got more than ten private letters between Li Jing and Zheng Congxuan, among which there are many conspiracies." Yang Fugong said with a sinister smile, "In addition, we also have secret letters between Zheng Ting and Li Jing."

The Shence Army had Yang Shouliang on the sidelines to fan the flames, "Li Jing and the two Mr. Zheng are really in close contact. I heard that when Li Jing and the four daughters of the Yu family got married, hundreds of people from the Zheng family in Xingyang went to congratulate them in person, and even sent gifts. Gifts worth millions are used as concubine utensils. Maybe, in a few days, Li Jing will become the son-in-law of the Zheng family again. I think Li Jing is so close to the two Mr. Zheng. There are also such secret letters."

"As the royal vassal of the imperial court, Li Jing has no official correspondence with the towns, but he has to communicate privately. This is a serious violation of the court's laws and regulations." Li Yan said with a cold face, "I will never tolerate this matter."

"I don't think it's too much for the King of Qin to do this." Zhang Tai defended Li Jing aloud, "The purpose of the communication between the King of Qin and Mr. Zheng Tian is to discuss the matter of contacting the towns in Guanzhong to send troops to the king. Keep it secret to prevent grass thieves from knowing about it. And the private letter with Mr. Zheng Congyu, the letter is also very clear, to prevent Li Keyong from returning to Yanmen. Who is Li Keyong? Tang, this time he even led 20 Hu cavalry from the grassland to invade. If the king of Qin hadn’t been a hero, he would have wiped out these barbarians in one fell swoop in Daibei, but now these barbarians have already forced Yanmen to pass. Your Majesty, the king of Qin is the country Fend off the enemy and fight to the death, old minister, I don’t think there is anything wrong with this. Zheng Congxuan has common sense, and there is nothing wrong with cooperating with the King of Qin and dealing with Li Keyong together.”

Li Xuan turned around, glaring at him with big eyes, "Are you my servant or Li Jing's servant, have you seen what they wrote in these letters? They are completely behind my back on such an important matter, They have never reported to me at all, in their eyes, is there still me, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

Isn't that the case?Son of Heaven, what kind of Emperor of the Tang Dynasty are you like now? You are nothing but that name.If it weren't for Li Jing, Zheng Congxuan, Zheng Tian and others, you might still be scared all day long, wondering when Huang Chao will kill you.Now, Huang Chao is about to disappear. They didn't discuss with you what you want to mention now, and they don't have you as an emperor in their eyes.At first everyone wanted to discuss it with you, but when you left the two capitals in one breath and ran to Chengdu, why didn't you say these things?Zhang Tai now looked down on this little emperor more and more. At one time, he thought that this little emperor had ambitions, but gradually, he finally saw through that this emperor was just a young child. "King Qin is a vassal king proclaimed by His Majesty, and he is personally honored by His Majesty as the Emperor's Uncle. He also personally awarded him the Grand Marshal of the World's Armed Forces, a fake yellow axe, an envoy to hold festivals, the governor of all internal and external military forces, and commanded all the troops and horses of the world. Shangshu Ling, Xu Kaifu built a government office and set up bureaucrats. Your Majesty, the King of Qin has the right to command the towns. Whether it is Zheng Congxuan or Zheng Tian, ​​they are the envoys of Hedong and Fengxiang. They are originally under the control of the King of Qin. .”

"I will never allow them to look down on the king!"

Hey, Li Jing was held up by you, and now you can't control Li Jing at last, and you're panicking again.But what's the use of panic?

"Then His Majesty intends to let Li Ke use it to replace Zheng Congxuan?" Zhang Tai shook his head lightly, "Don't Your Majesty remember that Li Ke used two rebellions against the Tang Dynasty? Has Your Majesty forgotten the edict to pardon him last time?" He returned to the Central Plains to serve the imperial court, but as soon as he turned around, Li Keyong rebelled in Weizhou? Doesn't your majesty remember that after the imperial court pardoned his crimes again, he launched troops to attack Yiwu and Qin Fan several times without authorization? Don't you remember that he just now Recruited 20 Hu cavalry to go south, plundered the border of our Tang Dynasty, and poisoned our Tang people? Now, instead of pursuing Li Keyong's crimes, His Majesty will grant him the post of Jiedu envoy of Hedong, and let him command the important town of Taiyuan. Have you ever thought that if he rebels again, wouldn't we hand over Taiyuan to him? Your Majesty, don't be impulsive for a while, and you will regret it in the future."

"It's not your turn to point fingers, Zhang Tai, you defend Li Jing like this, but because you also conspired with Li Jing?"

Yang Shouliang smiled slyly at the side: "Your Highness, Zhang Taiyi's son Zhang Chengye was Li Jing's military supervisor as early as the first year of Qianfu. After so many years, Zhang Chengye has long since devoted himself to serving Li Jing. Tai must have received many benefits from Zhang Chengye and Li Jing."

"Your Majesty, don't listen to the villain's slander." Zhang Tai said.

Li Yan snorted coldly, "Come on, Eunuch Zhang is old and weak, and he is not fit to walk around in front of the imperial court anymore. Send him to another palace to recuperate immediately, and send more people to take care of Eunuch Zhang for me. If there is nothing wrong, don't mess around." When you go out, don't see outsiders again, so as not to be exhausted."

It is obvious that Zhang Tai is Li Jing's man.Huang Chao was about to perish, and Li Xuan was already impatient to do something to Li Jing.At the very least, the people around Li Jing must be cleaned up first.However, he didn't dare to make things too big too early. Therefore, for Zhang Tai, he neither sentenced him to death nor dismissed him immediately, but only temporarily imprisoned him.

After Yang Shouliang took Zhang Tai down, Yang Fugong said: "Your Majesty, Ximen Sigong and Zheng Tian are as close as father and son. If you want to deal with Zheng Tian, ​​you must first get rid of the old thief Ximen. Ximen Sigong cannot be trusted."

Li Xuan frowned, "Since that's the case, Ximen Sigong is getting old, so I'll find a few people to send him to be neighbors with Zhang Tai. From now on, don't let him walk around in the palace anymore." He got up and stood up. Get up and say again: "Let Zheng Congyu go to Dongdu, will he be willing to hand over the military power of Hedong Township? Besides, that Zheng Tian has a close relationship with Li Jing, and I don't trust this person either."

"Your Majesty, Zheng Congxuan doesn't have the courage to openly disobey the holy order. As long as he doesn't push him too fast, he dare not refuse. Let him stay in Luoyang first, and then wait for Li Keyong to take over Hedong Afterwards, just find another decree to get rid of him. As for Zheng Tian, ​​this man is a dead-headed person. To deal with him, I have a perfect strategy. I can give Fengxiang Army marching Sima Li Changyan a secret decree, let him Secretly unite with the towns of Fengxiang and directly drive Zheng Tian away."

"Is that Li Changyan reliable?" Li Xuan asked.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Li Changyan is absolutely reliable. The veteran has observed this man for a long time on behalf of His Majesty, and has had preliminary contact with him. He is definitely a loyal subject to His Majesty. Compared with someone like Zheng Tian who only has his family in his eyes, he is absolutely more reliable. Yes. Fengxiang is the only way for His Majesty to return to Beijing after regaining Chang'an. How can such an important place be controlled by a person who is fiercely fighting with Li Jing. After defeating Huang Chao, the next thing we have to deal with is Li Jing Yes. However, Li Jing is powerful, and it is very unwise to deal with him directly. Therefore, we must first clean up those towns that secretly have close contacts with Li Jing, and remove those allies of Li Jing one by one. Cut off its branches and leaves first, and finally Cut him down again."

Tian Lingzi, the envoy of the Tenth Army and the Twelve Guards, sat quietly on the soft couch in the hall, looking at the gold piled up like a hill in the hall in front of him, but he couldn't be happy at all.The reason is very simple, the contents of the secret reports collected by the seeker before him really make him hard to be happy.Even looking at this sealed report, he even felt a sense of panic.

Li Xuan's things went too far, and he no longer regarded him as his father at all, and even gradually ignored him.

The four major eunuchs in the palace, Zhang Tai and Ximen Sigong, were all imprisoned.In the past, he must have been extremely happy when he heard such news, but at this moment, he only felt a feeling of sadness like a rabbit dying.The little emperor is going to attack people he doesn't like. Hey, it's all about Huang Chao's impending demise recently, which makes the little emperor excited.

It took him so many years to manage an excellent business with great difficulty, and controlled a little emperor in his own hands. Through this little emperor, he once became the most powerful figure in Datang.But this damned Huang Chao made a fuss, and the world turned against him. All the towns were selfish and self-reliant. In the end, Li Jing and Li Ke used these people to take advantage of the momentum. A few years later, Huang Chao broke through the two capitals. The army was vulnerable, so he hurried to Chengdu.Although relying on the retreat arrangements that had been made a few years ago, Sanchuan was under control.But in the end, his strength was also greatly damaged.

Now, the little emperor started to mix up with Brother Yang Fugong again, throwing his father aside.

Hey, now is the critical time again.

If this continues, the emperor and the Yang brothers will be the next to deal with him.

He is an eunuch, and Yang Fugong's brothers are also eunuchs, but the eunuch who he entered the palace to pay homage to was just a small eunuch, while the adoptive father that the Yang brothers worshiped was the largest family of eunuchs in the palace.

The Yang brothers are one of the four most powerful eunuch families in the palace, the Yang family. This family is very powerful in the palace, and they have been great eunuchs for generations.Now, when he joined forces with Ximen Sigong to suppress Yang Fugong with great difficulty, now that the Yang brothers have won the emperor Pang Xin, the situation has immediately reversed.Yang Fugong lived in the palace, Yang Fuguang contacted the towns outside, they are not afraid of themselves at all now.

I heard that Yang Fuguang has adopted Li Keyong, Li Quanzhong and other commanders-in-chief of the eight towns as his adopted sons, and Yang Fugong has also secretly adopted Li Changyan and many other generals of the towns as his adopted sons. Even many generals in the Shence Army have taken refuge in Yang Fugong.His life and death are already hanging by a thread. If one is not good, he may capsize at any time without the support of the emperor.

The eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty were never afraid of the emperor, because they established the emperor's body, and the eunuchs were responsible for life and death.They are not afraid of the feudal towns, because the feudal towns control each other and are far away from the capital, and the eunuchs control the magic army in the capital.

In fact, eunuchs are most afraid of eunuchs.When the eunuchs are taken as a whole, they are extremely powerful.But the internal struggle among the powerful eunuchs became more and more fierce, and the battle between eunuchs was cruel and merciless.Just as a strong fortress is always the first to be breached from the inside, the eunuchs lost power and fell, and most of them were defeated by eunuchs who were also eggless.

Yang Fugong already has this ability now, his power has penetrated into his power in an all-round way, there are Yang Fuguang and Zhuzhen foreign aid outside, his foreign aid is only a brother who used to sell sesame seed cakes, how can he beat Yang Fuguang, the current Tianzihong people?

Once he loses power, corrupts the law, asks for bribes, communicates with princes, forms a party for personal gain, neglects government...many charges will float on his head, and as soon as he loses power, they will immediately put these charges on him.

What is he going to do?

Fighting with Yang Fugong?It's a little too dangerous to do so, and he is greedy for money and forms a party to make money for himself, but when it comes to rolling up his sleeves and doing it with real knives and guns, he can't do it.Otherwise, the 15 Shence Army would not have been forced by Huang Chao to be defeated before a battle, and he would not have to abandon Luoyang first, then Chang'an, and retreat all the way to Chengdu.

He really has no confidence in fighting.

Maybe it's better to act first, and let my brother lead the troops into the palace, on the side of the Qing emperor?

Directly lead the troops into the palace, and then directly kill all the Yang brothers, even Ximen Sigong and Zhang Tai.Then firmly control that disobedient emperor in his hands, and don't have to be so polite with him in the future, just let him be a puppet honestly.

But in doing so, he has no confidence.If we really want to do that, who can guarantee that Yang Fuguang will not also come to the side of the Qing emperor and lead his troops into Xichuan?Yang Fuguang, a dead eunuch, is very good at leading troops, and he has Bazhenjieshuai sons under him, all of whom are veterans of war.

Damn, don't force me!

Tian Lingzi opened his eyes with a fierce look.

Perhaps, he can find an ally to deal with Yang Fuguang for him, so that if he only needs to deal with the dead eunuch Yang Fugong, things will be much more secure.But, who can be his ally?Sanchuan Jieshuai, apart from his brother, the other two are also his confidantes, but although those two guys are also from the Imperial Army, it is not their ability to be the Shangjieshuai, but because they were originally He had complained to him early on, and he was his confidant, so he spared no effort to promote them, and in the end he became the commander of Sanchuan by hitting the ball.

It is too unreliable to let them deal with Yang Fuguang and his adopted son of Marshal of Eight Towns.

He suddenly let out a long sigh, how come there aren't even half a single useful person in the f*cking refuge with Lao Tzu? (To be continued.)
