"Your Majesty, it's time to turn the brand."

In the west warm pavilion of Chengdu Palace late at night, the emperor Li Yan stroked his forehead and felt a headache at the mountains of requests for food and money on the imperial desk, so he didn't even realize it in the middle of the night. Li Yan had not favored the women in the palace for many days, and this situation made Tian Lingzi and other eunuchs worried. Once the emperor began to stop shooting, shoot archery and hunt, he no longer favored women. He was sleeping in wine and sweetness, but he was surrounded by piles of state memorials all day long, with all the civil officials and old people accompanying him, that was definitely not a good thing. At least, it would never be a good thing for eunuchs like them.

Tian Lingzi closely controlled the emperor's every move. When the emperor got older, he worked hard for a while and wanted to be a great king. However, after Huang Chao attacked Luoyang and Chang'an, Gao Pian, Zhou Bao, Li Jing and Li Ke, who he put in hopes, severely hit the young emperor's heart with the domineering performance of these generals. After retreating to Chengdu in a panic, the emperor began to sink and was extremely pessimistic all day long. He always thought that Huang Chao would soon enter Xichuan, so he slept in every day and slutty, so he slept in wine and sex every day to make trouble for himself.

Tian Lingzi is already very unfamiliar with the emperor's appearance of eating and eating in the night.

Moreover, the emperor's appearance made him feel a little scared.

Tian Lingzi lit sandalwood on the side, held a few close-up palace maids and whispered to Li Yan: "Long live, you need to take care of the dragon body. You haven't turned the sign in a few days, so it's not good to continue like this. The old ministers are still hoping that Your Majesty can have more children and prosper the royal family."

After retreating to Chengdu, Tian Lingzi could not help but look down on the emperor even more and more. He almost decided on all matters of the court in Chengdu. In particular, the three governors of Xichuan were all his confidants, including the governor of Xichuan, his biological brother Chen Jingxuan. In addition, the original Shence Army was in name only. Although Tian Lingzi suffered heavy losses, he could rebuild the Ten Army of Shence, Baidu, but he successfully excluded the eunuchs such as Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong, and other eunuchs from this new army.

But tonight, he suddenly rushed to meet the emperor. In addition to the emperor becoming diligent, what is more important is his new report.

"Father, Li Jing, has the report delivered?" Li Yan looked up, his eyes full of expectations.

Some time ago, when Huang Chao was unstoppable and the bandits were arrogant and soaring into the sky, the Eastern overlord Li Jing, who held heavy troops, suddenly issued a letter to various towns, calling on all towns to send troops to attack Huang Chao and serve the king together. After Li Jing's manifesto was released, to Li Yan's surprise, it actually caused responses from the towns. And soon formed three coalition forces, and twenty or thirty feudal towns participated.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Ting, the commander of the coalition forces in Guanzhong, took the lead in responding to Li Jing and led the eight towns to send troops.

These days, Li Yan has been waiting for news from Guanzhong.

On the one hand, he was a little worried. After all, the former prime minister Zheng Ting led the eight towns of Guanzhong this time. Although the Zheng Prime Minister was loyal to the country, he was just a civil servant and scholar and had never led troops to fight. Moreover, the Guanzhong towns had been ambiguous in their attitudes, and even the Fengxiang army had surrendered to Huang Chao. If Huang Chao had not greedy and excessive demands and violated the interests of the towns, Li Jing's call to climb up and join forces with Zheng Ting, the current coalition was still unknown.

But on the other hand, Li Yan was full of expectations for this battle, and the situation in the world was so decayed. If no miracles appeared, Li Tang's countryside would collapse, and he was powerless to turn things around. He hoped that Zheng Qi would win this battle. Then other towns would also beat the dogs in the water, so that his country might be preserved.

Although he felt that he had put the fate of the three hundred years of Tang Dynasty on an old civil official and had little hope, he still looked forward to it.

On the other hand, he put more hope on Li Jing. Since Li Jing was going to issue a proclamation at this time, he ordered the towns to serve the king, perhaps Li Jing did not intend to watch the fire across the river.

No matter what, Li Yan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, has to do things in Chengdu, depending on Tian Lingzi's expression. But if we talk about the current situation in the world, he still has to count on Li Jing.

Tian Lingzi whispered: "Your Majesty, Li Jing sent a thousand-mile emergency report. It is good news and good news! A great victory in Guanzhong, Zheng Ting, the governor of Fengxiang Army, led the eight towns of Guanzhong to fight with Shangrang in Longwei Pond in Qizhou. 100,000 Guanzhong Allied Forces fought against 50,000 puppet Qi rebels. Zheng Ting adopted the strategy of Li Jing's special staff to Guanzhong Allied Forces, and used his body as bait to lure Shangrang to lead troops underestimate the enemy's attack, and then siege Shangrang. The battle lasted all day, Shangrang was defeated. Zheng Ting led the Guanzhong Allied Forces to kill 30,000 rebels and captured more than 10,000 cavalry and fled back to Guanzhong."

This news is the best news since the imperial court abandoned Luoyang.

So even Tian Lingzi has always been incompatible with Zheng Ting and Li Jing, but he dare not hide it in this matter, but tells him the truth.

However, at the end, he added, "Your Majesty, Zheng Xi has achieved such a great victory this time, but he had contacted and discussed with King Li Jing of Qin in advance. They did not report any combat plans to Your Majesty and the court before the war. Moreover, after the war, Zheng Xi did not immediately send someone to win in Chengdu. Instead, he sent someone to report the victory to Li Jing of Youzhou, and then Li Jing sent the news of this great victory to Chengdu. The Longwei Pi battle was news half a month ago. As the lord of the world, His Majesty almost knew the news last."

These few words really changed Li Yan's face slightly. Li Yan's heart was in a good mood just now when he heard the news.

Before the war, Zheng Qi and Li Jing did not report the issue to the court at all. It can be said that he could act cheaply outside, in order to keep it confidential, etc. However, after the war, the news of this victory was not the first to tell him, but was sent to Li Jing, who was far away in Youzhou, Hebei.

This is a bit intriguing. Especially some of the news he received before that Fengxiang's army had already defected to Huang Chao, but later he heard that Li Jing sent someone to find Zheng Ting. After some planning, Feng Xiang's army was correct. But Zheng Ting had close contacts with Li Jing from Hebei since then.

Li Jing is now a half-way sky in the east, and the court has no choice but to use this Uncle Li. If even Zheng Ting turned to Li Jing, then he, as the emperor, would be truly a lonely man.

He immediately remembered that the three coalition forces seemed to be summoned by Li Jing's manifesto. Moreover, Li Jing was also given the title of the Grand Marshal of the World, the King of Qin, and the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty. He had the full right to open a government office and establish a yamen and claim his own subordinates.

Although Li Jing has never shown any rebelliousness, Li Yan, who has experienced so many things, no longer really believes in Li Jing.

The biting dog does not bark. Although Li Keyong, a Shatuo rebel boy, has opposed the Tang Dynasty twice, at least this guy acts straightforwardly. He can reach the end, and it is easy to grasp it. But Li Jing is different. Li Jing is very tolerant and never reveals his trump card. Even though Li Jing's power is much stronger than Li Keyong, Huang Chao and other rebels, he has always been under the banner of respecting Tang.

If you are not moved by small profits, you will definitely have a big goal!

But now, who else can he, the emperor, trust?

He has seen through it now. Although he is the lord of the world, he is actually a real lonely man. Even A-father Tian Lingzi, who grew up with him since childhood, is just a completely untrustworthy person.

"I'm a little sleepy."

"Your Majesty hasn't turned the sign yet!" Tian Lingzi waved his hand, and immediately a little eunuch came up with a box containing a thick book-like sandalwood booklet. Each page was hung with portraits of concubines in the palace. Although Li Yan came out of Chang'an quickly and did not take away all the palace maids from Chang'an, the concubines were brought with him. After arriving in Chengdu, Tian Lingzi helped to organize a lot of them. Therefore, the emperor who was just twenty years old was also full of beauties in the palace.

Li Yan took a long breath, stopped, turned to look at the wooden book. But at first glance, the sign on the front page was Chen Meiren's. Chen Meiren was Tian Lingzi's niece, the daughter of the dead elder brother Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan. Although she was a little pretty, she was poor since childhood, so she was just a jassica of a small family. Li Yan didn't like her. However, she was the niece of Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan. Now he rested in her palace for five days in the evening.

Li Yan knew the Chen brothers' thoughts. Now he is in Chengdu, he is almost completely under the control of these brothers. Now they have bigger ideas. Li Yan is just twenty years old, and although there are many women and a few children, they have not yet established an empress or a crown prince. The two brothers Tian Lingzi's idea is very obvious, which is to let Chen Meiren have a son, and then they make her the empress and make the child the crown prince. In this way, their Chen family controls the palace ban in the inner palace and the Xichuan vassal state outside, and even the queen and the crown prince are their Chen family.

He didn't want to flip the sign, but he also understood that now he was actually under the control of these brothers. Tian Lingzi controlled the newly built ten armies and Baidu, Chen Jingxuan controlled Xichuan, and even the other two rivers were actually under the control of these brothers.

"No need to choose, I'd better go to the beautiful Chen place in Shuyuan Palace tonight." Li Yan said calmly.

Tian Lingzi turned over his niece's sign with a satisfied smile. Then he waved his hand and asked the little eunuch to lead the way. He walked side by side with Li Yan.

Li Yan reached out to Tian Lingzi. The old eunuch was very satisfied and took it with a smile. Looking at his smiling face, Li Yan's heart was getting more and more disgusted. It turned out that he had obeyed his words, but in fact, he now found that this old eunuch had nothing to do except to exclude the differences. Looking at Tian Lingzi, he would involuntarily think of Li Jing.

Li Jing and Tian Lingzi are also powerful ministers whom he cannot control, one outside and the other inside.

But when he thought about it carefully, although he had all kinds of doubts and speculations about Li Jing, to be honest, when he had a good relationship with Li Jing, Li Jing would pay him at least millions of chunks of money and food every year. Now, although he could barely maintain the cost of Chengdu by relying on the Chen brothers' plunder in Xichuan, it was precisely because of Tian Lingzi's rush to evacuate the two capitals that he now almost did not leave Sanchuan.

"Your Madam Chen has been waiting for a long time."

Li Yan lowered his eyes and sighed a long time ago. He had no strength to get angry.

During the battle between Li Jing and Tian Lingzi, he finally turned to Tian Lingzi. As a result, Li Jing was disinterested with him and no longer paid tribute to him. Although the monarch and ministers were harmonious on the surface, Li Jing's relationship with him dropped to a freezing point. What was he in return for supporting Tian Lingzi at such a great price? What was he in return for was they brought all the way to Xichuan, abandoning the two rivers, and becoming an emperor who lost the prestige of the king.

A traitor will harm the country!

At night, looking at Chen Meiren's kitschy appearance, Li Yan became more and more annoying to the family. After he had sex with her as if he had been hastily dealing with her, he went to bed early.

At dawn, Li Yan pushed away the beautiful Chen who wanted to climb up to him for pleasure and left directly.

After sitting in the imperial study for a long time, Li Yan said to Yang Fugong who had heard the imperial edict: "Yang Qing, what do you think I should do?"

In the palace, among the four eunuchs, Tian Lingzi is still the most powerful. He holds the imperial guards and his brothers in his hands and controls Xichuan. He also controls Xingyuan and Shandong Nandong through his confidant. Below him, Ximen Sigong is old, and because Zheng Qi was dismissed from prime minister and his power was greatly reduced, he was surpassed by Zhang Tai, who cited Li Jing as a foreign aid.

The four eunuchs, Tian Lingzi, controlled the imperial guards, and Chen Jingxuan and others controlled the support of Sanchuan. The status of the eunuchs was unshakable.

Ximen Sigong and Zhang Tai, one has adopted son Fengxiang Jieshang Zheng Ting, and the other has the support of King Li Jing of Qin. Their status is not weak, and the two gradually tend to unite.

Among the four, Yang Fugong was the only one who had mastered the Privy Council and the Shence Army before Li Yan ascended the throne, and was born into the Yang family of the powerful family in the palace. Later, he was attacked by Tian Lingzi and Ximen Sigong. Speaking of which, he had a very bad relationship with Tian Lingzi, and had a bad relationship with Ximen Sigong. For Li Yan, such a person was exactly what he needed most now. Yang Fugong had a background and prestige. The key was that his cousin Yang Fuguang is now the chief military commander of the three coalition forces, and also had a very good relationship with several vassal states in the Central Plains, including Zhongwu Town, Hezhong Town, Yanmen Town, and Datong Town. These vassal states were all closely related to him. For Li Yan, who is extremely eager for military support now, the Yang brothers were the people he needed most now.

Yang Fugong was once the number one eunuch in the palace and was very flexible. As soon as Li Yan said, he immediately savored the meaning.

The emperor did not ask Tian Lingzi, which means that the emperor had seen through Tian Lingzi and no longer believed him. The emperor did not ask Zhang Tai, which means that the emperor actually did not believe Li Jing, who was very famous today. The emperor did not ask Ximen Sigong, which means that the emperor did not even believe Zheng Ting, the local civil minister, as the representative of the local civil servant.

The emperor believed in him only, and this was an opportunity!

It seems that the emperor is indeed at his despair, otherwise he would not have asked him so eagerly.

Yang Fugong's mind was rumbling, and after pondering for a moment, he said boldly: "Your Majesty, I feel that the Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan brothers, except for the party and the other party, have no ability to govern the country and safeguard the people. And Li Jing, haha, perhaps most people in the world think that he is a famous minister in the revival of the Tang Dynasty, but Lao Nu thinks that Li Jing is the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Now, Zhang Tai, Ximen Sigong, Zheng Ting and others have all begun to turn to Li Jing. None of these people can believe in them."

Li Yan said weakly: "What you said is right, but what can you do? Can I remove them from their official position and give them the title of the emperor?"

Yang Fugong listened to Li Yan's tone and knew that this emperor was not as simple as it seemed. At least, he had seen the essence of the matter. Now, the most important thing is not the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, but the real military power and army. These are the most important things. However, he still tentatively said: "My brother Fuguang is now trusted by Your Majesty to serve as the military commander of the world. He is willing to serve as the loyalty for Your Majesty."

Li Yan just sighed and shook his head.

Yang Fuguang decided to add another fire.

"The three towns of Zhongwu, Qin Zongquan, Zhou Ji, Lu Yanhong, Wang Chongrong, Yanmen Town, and Li Keyong, Lao Nu is sure to let them lead the troops under his command and die for His Majesty."

Li Yan sat up suddenly and slapped the table with a palm. The pen holder, pen washing rack on the table was shocked and the paperweight jumped up. Yang Fuguang hurriedly buried his head, "I'm sorry for the old slave..."

Unexpectedly, Li Yan slapped the table and said, "Your dear, are you sure that you can serve me?"

"For Your Majesty, although I will die, the 200,000 troops in the five towns will become Your Majesty's most faithful long sword!"

"Didn't Li Keyong, a soldier in Yanmen Town, died in the battle with Li Jing? I heard that Sha Tuo is divided into two and surrendered to Li Jing. Not long ago, Li Jing also submitted a letter to appoint Li Siyuan as the governor of Yanmen and Li Sizhao as the governor of Datong."

Yang Fugong smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, the old slave has just received a handwritten letter from Li Keyong, confirming that Li Keyong is not only not dead, but will also regain the command of Shatuo's troops. Li Keyong asked his ministers to express his respects to Your Majesty. He is willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty. Whether it is Huang Chao or Li Jing, as long as it is Your Majesty's enemy, he is willing to destroy the generals and kill the generals for this purpose, kill the generals and seize the flag!"

Li Yan was deeply surprised and finally heard another good news. He couldn't help but exclaim: "I really underestimated my beloved brothers before. I really knew the strong grass when the wind was strong. I saw loyal ministers. When the country was in trouble, I had such extraordinary courage and great kindness!"

However, considering that Li Keyong had rebelled against the Tang Dynasty twice, Li Yan was still a little afraid of this Sha Tuofei Huzi.

"Although Li Keyong is fierce, this person is unruly and hard to be cursed. If he is used, can he ensure that this person is reliable?"

Yang Fugong promised: "Li Keyong was almost defeated by Li Jing last time, even his wife was captured, and his children became hostages of Li Jing. If he wanted to turn over, how could it be possible without His Majesty's support? Besides, although he rebelled against the Tang Dynasty twice, there was a reason for it, and he was defeated both times. I believe that Li Keyong is not stupid either. He hit the wall twice in a row. It is impossible to hit the third time again, right?"
