In a short while, the eunuchs reported to the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall for a visit.
Li Yan was in a headache, although he also felt that what Ximen Sigong and others said had some truths, and it was very likely that a mutiny would be caused by a poor handling at this time. However, he was reluctant to let him send Tian Lingzi to the military camp. He understood very well that Tian Lingzi had really arrived at the military camp. At the moment, the soldiers were really likely to do anything. After that, Tian Lingzi could not come back.
"Please wait for Yanying Palace, I will go now." Li Yan said helplessly, turned to Tian Lingzi who kept crying, "Father comes together."
Yanying Palace is a palace in the Daming Palace. At this time, there were three major palace groups in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, Tai Chi Palace in the west, Daming Palace in the east, and Xingqing Palace in the south.
Tai Chi Palace, also known as Xi Nei, Sui Dynasty, was the political center of Daxing in the early Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu of Tang and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin ruled for more than 30 years. The main palaces include the Tai Chi Hall and Liangyi Hall, which are the main place for governance. There are also a large number of buildings such as Ganlu Hall and Wude Hall. The main gate of Tai Chi Palace is called Chengtian Gate, and the north gate is called Xuanwu Gate. The famous Xuanwu Gate Incident happened here.
The Daming Palace is also known as Dongnei. In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin built the palace city's banyuan Longshouyuan. It was originally named Yong'an Palace. The second year was changed to the Daming Palace. In the second year of Longshuo in the Tang Dynasty, it was expanded in 662 AD. It moved from Taiji Palace to live here to deal with the government affairs. Most of the emperors since then lived in the Daming Palace. The main ones were Hanyuan, Xuanzheng and Zichen. The Hanyuan Palace is the most majestic building in Chang'an City, with a base of more than 1 zhang high. It is twenty-five meters long from east to west and fourteen zhang wide from north to south. It is far more than the scale of the existing three halls of the Forbidden City in Beijing. During the Linde period, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi built the Linde Hall. It is the largest palace in the Daming Palace and the place where banquets are held.
Xingqing Palace, also known as Nannei, is located in Xingqingfang, Chang'an City. It is the old residence of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty before Li Longji became emperor. It was originally the Li Palace. In the second year of Kaiyuan, it was changed to Xingqing Palace and was expanded several times. It became a formal palace for the emperor to take charge of his daily affairs. Xingqing Palace is more than 400 feet long from north to south and 300 feet wide from east to west. The north is the palace area and the south is the garden area.
Yanying Hall is located in the west of Zichen Hall of the Daming Palace. Outside the courtyard, there are central institutions such as the Secretariat and the Inner-Consulting in the Hall. Since Daizong, the emperor wanted to consult or the prime minister wanted to report a report. Then he summoned the counterpart in this hall. Because there were no guards next to him, the etiquette was simple and people could speak out. Later, Yanying Hall was opened regularly and became the place where the emperor met with prime ministers and officials in daily life and listened to political affairs.
Nowadays, the emperors rarely hold court meetings except the New Year and New Year's Day celebrations. Usually, all court affairs are handed over to the Northern Office of the South Yai, which are the prime ministers of the Zhengshi Hall, the Northern Office, and the eunuchs in the palace. However, Yan Ying gave the confrontation, but he still retained them. When the Zhengshi Hall and the Privy Council were arguing endlessly, the emperor dealt with them here.
When Li Yan brought four eunuchs, Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong, Zhang Tai and Tian Lingzi, to Yanying Hall, all the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall were waiting there.
Since it was in Yanying's Hall, there were no guards next to it, and the etiquette was simple. After seeing the etiquette between the monarch and his ministers, Prime Minister Lu Zhi immediately reported to Li Yan about the current situation of the camp outside the city.
"Your Majesty, the ceremony to enter the city today is not possible. I think it will be postponed."
Zheng Ting looked at Lu Xie with dissatisfaction, "When is it now? Is it still concerned about these trivial matters? Now the soldiers in the military camp are angry and claim to clear the emperor and kill Tian Lingzi to take revenge on Li Zhenguo. Although Zheng Cong-seok and Yu-seok are trying their best to maintain it, this matter is very dangerous. If the court does not give the soldiers an explanation, not only will the soldiers be heartless, but they will not do it well, these soldiers can really do everything."
Tian Lingzi's mouth twitched a few times, and he was sitting on the side with his head down without opening his mouth.
The prime minister in the current political affairs hall in the court was headed by Lu Xie and had the greatest power, which was actually Zheng Ting, followed by Wang Duo, followed by Yu Cong and Li Wei.
Moreover, these prime ministers were divided into several factions, and each had the support of the eunuchs.
The most important reason why Lu Xie was promoted to the head of prime minister was that Tian Lingzi strongly supported behind his back. Similarly, Zheng Ting could become prime minister and also had a great eunuch to support him later. Ximen Sigong and Zheng Ting had a very close relationship. Zheng Ting's father and Ximen Sigong were both officials in the local area, and the two had a good relationship. After Zheng Ting's father died, Ximen Sigong personally found Zheng Ting and went to the mansion to raise him as his nephew. Later, Zheng Ting became a Jinshi at the age of 18, becoming the leader of the young Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty, and finally became the prime minister. It can be said that Ximen Sigong helped a lot later.
However, Prime Minister Wang Duo has a close relationship with Yang Fugong. Prime Minister Yu Yu is the uncle of today's son.
Due to the relationship behind these, Prime Minister Lu Xie and Zheng Ting have always had a bad relationship, but what is even more strange is that these two prime ministers are two cousins.
Zheng Ting's father Zheng Ya, Lu Xie's father Lu Qiu, and Du Rangneng's father Du Shenquan, who later became prime minister, both married Li Ao's daughter. Li Ao is also a famous scholar in the late Tang Dynasty, and Li Ao's articles are as famous as Han Yu. Li Ao's wife is Han Yu's niece, and he can also be said to be Han Yu's student.
Originally, the two cousins were prime ministers in the same court and had a good relationship, but because the people standing behind them were opposite, these two prime ministers were actually born opposite.
Li Yan had a headache and gently rubbed his temples, "I don't want to hear anything that asked Lieutenant Tian to go to the military camp to express his condolences. That would only make things worse and worse. What I want is the silence. Yu Prime Minister, what do you do?"
Yu Cong was not only the uncle who was today's son and also the brother of Mr. Li Jing's teacher Yu Cong. At this time, his position was relatively fair.
In fact, things cannot be simpler, but others have complicated things. Li Jing was assassinated and implicated Tian Lingzi, which led to Ximen Sigong and others attacking Tian Lingzi. Similarly, the Political Affairs Hall, which was influenced by the eunuchs in the palace, was also implicated in this matter. The interests of all parties are entangled, so how could a fair solution be made?
"When you go back to your Majesty, I think the first important thing at the moment is to send imperial physicians to the camp outside the city to treat Li Jing. If Li Jing is fine, he will naturally be able to control it. The second thing is to close the Chang'an city gate immediately and strengthen the guards just in case. Third, I will immediately issue an order to reward and appease the soldiers outside the city. Fourth, I will issue an order to other commanders of the town to temporarily separate from the camp of the town and prepare for warning."
Tian Lingzi was relieved when he heard that Yu Cong did not take the opportunity to take the blame at this time.
However, Zheng Ting and the others were obviously unwilling to let Tian Lingzi go so easily, which was a rare opportunity.
"It's not easy to reward tens of thousands of soldiers. The treasury is empty now. If the soldiers are not satisfied with the rewards, the treasury will not be able to pay for the money." Zheng Ting replied immediately.
Lu Zhi immediately looked at Tian Lingzi. At this time, he had to get some blood to overcome this difficulty first.
When Tian Lingzi saw that everyone wanted him to pay the money, he was not willing to do it. The army of 20,000 yuan was how much money it would take to calm down.
"Your Majesty, that assassin is not sent by Lao Nu at all. Lao Nu was wronged. Lao Chen's family is completely defeated, so why is no one making any claims for Lao Nu?"
Zheng Qi snorted coldly: "Why is the old Chen family so far? Not long after Chen Jingxuan arrived in the capital, how many rooms did this concubine take? I heard that both men and women gave birth to more than a dozen, and all boys had eight?"
Tian Lingzi took out the jade box and opened it, and cried to Li Yan that Li Jing had let his family lose his grandfather.
Zheng Ting, Yu Cong and others both looked strange, and even Lu Xie had a expression on his face.
"Eunuch Tian, when did you receive this thing?" Yu Cong asked.
"Just not long ago."
Zheng Ting sneered: "Have you returned to Chen's mansion after receiving this gift?"
Tian Lingzi didn't know what they meant, so he was stunned for a moment.
Lu Xie patted his forehead and had to explain on the side. "Mr. Tian is afraid that this is a misunderstanding. Before we entered the palace, we met Chen Jingxuan outside the palace. Judging from his appearance, it was not like he lost his treasure."
As soon as these words came out, even Li Yan was stunned.
Immediately, Li Yan asked someone to pass Chen Jingxuan into the palace. After a while, Chen Jingxuan arrived, and it was indeed impossible to see that he had just suffered a crime. Tian Lingzi hurriedly came forward and said, "Second brother, are you okay?"
Chen Jingxuan said something to his mouth, but at the end he looked at the people in the hall and went back, and finally said, "What's wrong with me? I have nothing to do."
Tian Lingzi reached out and pulled his second brother directly under his crotch, but it was still there. He couldn't help but change his color, "Where are those eight nephews?"
"It's okay." Chen Jingxuan held it in his arms, and finally said with his neck in his arms.
Everyone heard his conversation. Li Yan couldn't help but feel angry and slapped the table, "Tian Lingzi, how do you explain it to me?"
Tian Lingzi felt a mess, and he was confused now. Why are his brothers and nephews still doing well? That box is just a joke? Or is this a warning from Li Jing? But what happened to Li Jing's assassination?
He was still in a mud, but Li Yan was already angry. After a long time of work, Tian Lingzi was actually joking with him. He just felt that Li Jing had ruined Tian Lingzi's whole family and was inclined to Tian Lingzi's side. But now, Li Jing was really assassinated twice and didn't know how to live or die, but Tian Lingzi was still telling these inferior lies to deceive him at this time.
"I have decided that Lieutenant Tian is responsible for this matter. Now, you immediately take out two million guan of money and send it to the Zhenguo Army outside the city, and apologize to the Zhenguo Army and Li Jing. No matter what, you must calm this matter yourself. You'd better hope that Li Jing can wake up, otherwise, if the Zhenguo Army causes little trouble, I will only ask." The little emperor felt anger at this time. It was the extreme anger after being deceived. This anger made him not even care about the intimate relationship between the two. His father was now named.
