"Li Yan is the heir to my Chen family!" Tian Lingzi cried, crying very sadly. "My family was poor since childhood, and four brothers were unable to support them. The eldest brother and the fourth brother died one after another. The slave had to enter the palace, and the second brother was left in the Chen family. Seeing that the second brother got married and had children, and had branches and leaves, and had eight males, the old slave was very happy. The Chen family finally passed on the family line."
In the pale sunlight, the nine lives in the jade box shrank into several ugly appearances, emitting a burst of fishy smell. It would be unimaginable if it weren't for the few notes posted on it and a personal name written on it.
Li Yan was wearing a set of horse-walking crotch and six-held boots. Listening to Tian Lingzi's heart-wrenching howl, he couldn't help but frown. The young emperor actually wanted to laugh, thinking that the country's things were too ugly. On the other hand, he began to wonder. Who was so brave that he was so cruel to cut off all the things under the crotch of Tian Lingzi's brothers and sons.
He guessed that maybe it was the work of the beloved minister who had never met before.
As soon as he thought about this, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
Tian Lingzi was a close minister and old minister around him, so he naturally had nothing to say to him. He was impatient with political affairs and left it to him to manage it, so he could be so relaxed. However, Li Guan was also good. Not only did he often offer money, grain and various new things, but he was also a talented and capable person. Although he stayed in the Nine Levels, he often heard about Li Guan. Dengzhou was very good. He did not pick up any remains on the road, closed his doors at night, and even saw beggars in Dengzhou. Everyone had food and clothes. Moreover, he could also lead wars, wipe out pirates, and rebellion of novice, which was not good for the future.
It was such a good thing to have close ministers like Uchida Lingzi and capable ministers like Li Guan. Why did these two people make such an unpleasant fight?
He had already sent a message to Li Guan, saying that after he entered Chang'an, he would ask Tian Lingzi to hold a banquet in person to apologize to him for a mistake, but why did Li Guan just refuse to let go?
"Second brother will spend half his life selling cakes in Xuzhou to make a living and serve his parents at home." Tian Lingzi continued to cry, "Now, with the kindness of His Majesty, he finally entered the capital. This life is about to be better, but this happened. Your Majesty, Li Guan is so cruel, Your Majesty must be the master of the old slave."
Li Yan didn't sleep well last night. As soon as he came back from walking his horse in the morning, Tian Lingzi pulled him to cry, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient. "If you don't provoke Li Yan first, how could Li Yan take revenge? Besides, you can't just insist that it was Li Yan's actions at the moment."
"Who else could be this besides Li Chen?"
"How can you insist on it without any evidence? Li Yan is also a commander of the town, and he is a founding duke. Don't misunderstand again." Li Yan put the jade box in a disgust, and his eyes were gone. He knew very well in his heart that who else could do such a thing besides Li Yan? But before Tian Lingzi dispatched the Shen Ce Army to besiege Li Yan, and he told Li Yan not to pursue it. Now, Li Yan has revenge. Although he is unhappy, he can't just ask Li Yan. Tian Lingpeng is his favored official. But Li Yan is also a capable minister he relies on. Although he ignores political affairs, he also knows that a minister like Li Yan cannot be punished casually.
"It's already like this, let's give up. When will the revenge be repaid? You are my ministers and pillars of the country. I hope you can live in harmony." Li Yan turned around and saw Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong and Zhang Tai, three eunuchs, arrived, and ended the matter directly. "That's the matter. Let's go to Chen's house to deal with the funeral."
"Your Majesty, you can't just let it go. Li Guan is making me the Chen family's queen!" Tian Lingzi didn't expect that the emperor would actually have such a reply, which made him very sad. He was really sad, and tears kept flowing down. He was sad that the Chen family's junior was also sad for the emperor's cold attitude. He felt that as today as Zi's attitude towards him was not as good as moving forward.
"I have made a ruling." Li Yan replied, then turned directly to Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong, and Zhang Tai who had just arrived, "What's wrong with you rushing to come?"
Ximen Sigong and Yang Fugong were both from eunuchs in the palace. Their adoptive fathers served as lieutenant of the Shence Army, envoy of the Privy Council, and envoy of the Sixth Army's Twelve Guards. Ximen Sigong and Yang Fugong also served as lieutenant of the Shence Army. However, later Tian Lingzi took over from a small horse envoy and suppressed them all. Therefore, they were all opponents of Tian Lingzi in the palace.
Zhang Tai stepped forward and shouted: "Your Majesty, something is not good. Last night, all my grandfathers went to the Triumph Military Camp outside the city to express condolences to the soldiers. Li Yan, the commander of the State Army, was assassinated by an assassin after the banquet. Now he is unconscious and his situation is critical." Zhang Tai said while looking at Tian Lingzi.
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned his gaze to Tian Lingzi.
Tian Lingzi was stunned when he heard this. Li Guan was seriously injured by stabbing. But he didn't send anyone to assassinate Li Guan. What was going on?
"Your Majesty, this really has nothing to do with the old slave." Tian Lingzi hurriedly explained, but unfortunately no one believed this explanation.
Li Yan glared at Tian Lingzi angrily. This old man was getting more and more messy. He usually marked the price and used the rewards of the imperial court's Zi Cifei for sale. He often indulged the palace envoys to go out to the streets to force the sale, and he turned a blind eye. After all, most of the money was obtained and most of it was spent on him. But now, he repeatedly told him not to make things difficult for Li Guan again, so why didn't he listen?
"How is Li Zhenguo's situation?" Li Yan asked.
Zhang Tedao: "It was very serious. The assassin stabbed Li Zhenguo under the left rib with a sword, and he could get his heart straight after a slight loss. Although the heart was not damaged, there was a huge poison on the assassin's sword, and Li Zhenguo is still unconscious."
"Talk to the imperial doctor!" Li Yan was also shocked.
Ximen Sigong said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, in addition to rescuing Li Zhenguo, there is another most important thing now."
"What's up?"
Yang Fugong looked at Tian Lingzi, and there was a hint of gloating in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, Li Zhenguo was assassinated, and the assassin has been taken down. According to the female assassin's instructions, she was originally from the Royal Lijing Sect, but because her family was threatened by Lieutenant Tian, she was forced to obey Lieutenant Tian. This time, Lieutenant Tian was holding her out of her family's life and letting her take action."
Li Yan gritted his teeth, but he didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty, this matter is now well known to everyone in the triumphal soldiers outside the city. First, Li Zhenguo was besieged in Gaoling City. Now that he arrived at Chang'an City, such as an assassination happened again. The soldiers of the towns outside the city were angry. Now the entire camp is like cooking oil in a fire, and it will be difficult to control if you are not careful."
The Tang Dynasty has always been short of arrogant soldiers and generals, especially since Dezong, mutinies have become common. Now, the eight towns and three tribes under Chang'an City have 34,000 soldiers and horses, of which 20,000 are soldiers and horses. The Zhenguo Army has just defeated the powerful Shatu soldiers in Hedong. If the 20,000 troops of the Zhenguo Army start a mutiny, it will be really hard to deal with.
When Li Yan thought of the Jingyuan mutiny, he couldn't help but feel trembling. The mutiny during the Dezong period was only 5,000 Jingyuan soldiers. But because when he passed by Chang'an, the rewards issued by the emperor and Jingzhao Yin were not generous enough, these arrogant soldiers turned around. So he beat drums and shouted, attacked the stables, and captured the imperial capital Chang'an. Dezong fled to Fengtian in a hurry, and the emperor was surrounded by the rebel army for more than a month, which is known in history as the Fengtian Difficulty.
Could it be that he also has to face a mutiny in the imperial capital?
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but shivered. Although the emperor was young, he knew the importance of this matter.
Xing was already asking urgently: "What should we do about this?"
Ximen Sigong looked directly at Tian Lingzi: "Your Majesty, according to me, the person who tied the bell must be untied. The current situation is that the military camp outside the city is in anger. If it is not good, it may cause chaos. The origin of this matter was because Lieutenant Tian repeatedly assassinated the officials of the country, which caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers. After all, this matter was caused by Lieutenant Tian. The soldiers are excited at the moment, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for others to persuade them. I would like to ask the Lord to give an order to let Lieutenant Tian go to the camp personally and explain the matter to the soldiers of the army."
Tian Lingzi was shocked, and a cold air emerged from the soles of his feet and his head was on his head.
No matter what the assassination was going on now, he had already seen that Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong and Zhang Tai were preparing to kill people with a knife. As they said, in the current situation, the camp was a group of angry soldiers. When he went at this time, wouldn’t it be that sheep entered the wolves and had no return? I guess once he came to the door, he would immediately be torn to pieces by the angry Zhenguo Army.
"Your Majesty, I'm wronged. It's obviously Li Yan's private revenge, but I'm the descendant of the Chen family. Your Majesty, please take the responsibility of my servant serving Your Majesty for many years. Even if I don't have any credit, I will have to work hard." As he said that, Tian Lingzi knelt down and hugged Li Yan's thigh.
Li Yan was a little moved by Tian Lingzi's words, after all, there were many years of love. When Ximen Sigong saw that the situation was not good, he immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, national affairs are the most important, Li Tang's country is the most important!"
Yang Fugong and Zhang Tai no longer showed mercy at this time, and they both knelt down and made a statement to Li Yan.
