Chapter 901 Dog bites dog
Li Yan was no longer liking Tian Lingzi. He stood in the hall and shook his sleeves angrily, "Zheng Congxian and Li Keyong exchanged the transfer, and asked Zheng Congxian to be transferred to the Eastern Capital, Henan Yin, Dongdu Jidu Defense Envoy, Pingzhang, Li Keyong took over as the Hedong Jiedu, Taiyuan Yin, Beidu, Pingzhang was my will." He announced angrily, "I have all the worlds and are the lord of the Tang Dynasty. I can transfer any official, but it is not the turn of the pretentious eunuch to teach me how to appoint officials."
Zhang Tai picked up the letter from the ground and took a closer look. The letter was a private matter between Zheng Congxian and Li Jing. One of the letters was Li Jing's request to Zheng Congxian to help trap Li Keyong in the Hedong Allied Forces camp and could not let him return to Yanmen to fight.
"The private messages between Li Jing and Zheng Cong-yi I received were more than ten letters, including many conspiracies." Yang Fugong smiled sinisterly, "In addition, we have secret messages between Zheng Jie and Li Jing."
Yang Shouliang, the general of the Shence Army, was fanning the flames, "Li Jing has a close relationship with the two Zheng Gongs. When Li Jing got married with the four daughters of Yu, hundreds of people from Zheng from Xingyang went to congratulate him in person, and even gave gifts worth millions of yuan to make a maid. Maybe in a few days, Li Jing will become Zheng's son-in-law again. I think Li Jing is so close to the two Zheng Gongs, and if he doesn't do it well, he will have such a secret correspondence with other towns."
"As a vassal prince of the court, Li Jing had no official documents with the towns, but had to send private messages secretly. This was a serious violation of the court's laws and regulations." Li Yan said with a cold face, "I must not tolerate this matter."
"I think the King of Qin does not have any excessive amount of this." Zhang Tai spoke out to defend Li Jing. "The King of Qin and Zheng Qiong were in order to discuss and contact the towns in Guanzhong to send troops to serve the king. The secret letters were made to keep confidential and prevent being known by the thieves. The letter was also written clearly in the letter to prevent Li Keyong from returning to Yanmen. Who is Li Keyong? A Hu Er who was not always rebelling against Tang twice, and this time he led 200,000 Hu cavalry in the grassland invasion. If the King of Qin was not a hero, he would have wiped out these Hu people in one fell swoop in Daibei. Now these Hu Man has already forced Yanmen Pass to defend against the enemy. Your Majesty. The King of Qin defended the enemy for the country and fought to the death. Old ministers did not think this was wrong. Zheng Congyi knew the general and cooperated with the King of Qin to deal with Li Keyong together, and there was nothing wrong with it."
Li Yan turned around, his eyes widened and glared at him, "Are you my minister or Li Jing's minister? Have you seen what these letters written in them? Such an important thing. They actually carried me completely on my back and never reported it to me. In their eyes, are there me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"
Isn't this the truth? Emperor, what is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty now? You are nothing except that name. If it weren't for Li Jing, Zheng Congxian, Zheng Ting and others, you would probably be so scared that you were worried all day long. I don't know when Huang Chao would have killed him. Now, Huang Chao is about to be destroyed. What are you talking about now? They haven't discussed with you now, and you don't see you as the emperor. At the beginning, everyone wanted to discuss with you, but when you left the two capitals in one breath and ran to Chengdu, why didn't you say these words? Zhang Tai is now looking down on this little girl more and more
The emperor was the emperor. Once, he thought that this little emperor had the ambition to work hard, but gradually, he finally saw through that the emperor was just a child who never grew up. "The King of Qin was a vassal king personally appointed by His Majesty, and His Majesty personally respected the emperor's uncle. He also personally gave him the Grand Marshal of the World, pretended to be Huang Yue, and appointed him to hold the ranks, governed the military affairs inside and outside, commanded the troops and horses of the world, and was appointed as the Minister of State, and established the government office, and established the bureaucrats. Your Majesty, the King of Qin has the right to command the towns. Whether it was Zheng Cong-sei or Zheng Ting, they were originally under the control of the King of Qin as the governors of Hedong and Fengxiang."
"I will never allow them to be ruthless!"
Alas, you picked up Li Jing in one hand, and now you can't control Li Jing anymore, you are panicked again. But what's the use of panicking?
"Then your Majesty is going to let Li Ke use it to replace Zheng Cong-chan?" Zhang Tai shook his head lightly, "Don't Your Majesty remember that Li Keyong had rebelled against Tang twice? Did Your Majesty forget the crime of pardoning him last time he returned to Central Plains to serve the court, but as soon as he turned around, Li Keyong rebelled in Weizhou? Does Your Majesty remember that after the court pardoned his crime again, he raised troops to attack Yiwu and Qinfan several times without authorization. Don't you remember that he had just recruited 200,000 Hu cavalry to go south, robbed my Tang border, and poisoned my Tang people? Now, not only does not pursue Li Keyong's crime, but also wants to grant him the position of Hedong Jiedushi and let him command the important town of Taiyuan. I have thought that if he rebels again, wouldn't we hand over Taiyuan to him? Your Majesty, don't be impulsive, and it will be too late to regret in the future."
"It's not your turn to point fingers, Zhang Tai, you are protecting Li Jing like this, but because you are also conspiring with Li Jing?"
Yang Shouliang smiled sinisterly: "Your Highness, Zhang Tai's adopted son Zhang Chengye was already the military supervisor of Li Jing as early as the first year of Qianfu. After so many years, Zhang Chengye had already devoted himself to Li Jing's life. Zhang Tai must have received a lot of 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 here, Eunuch Zhang is old and weak, and is not suitable for walking in front of the emperor. I will send him to another palace to recuperate immediately. Send more people to take care of Eunuch Zhang for me. If you have nothing to do, don't go out randomly, and don't see outsiders again, so as not to be exhausted and hurt your mind."
Zhang Tai is Li Jing's person, which is obvious. Huang Chao is about to perish, and Li Yan is already impatient to attack Li Jing. At least, he has to clear Li Jing's people around him first. However, he dare not make things too big too early. Therefore, for Zhang Tai, he neither gave him death nor was he immediately dismissed, but just temporarily imprisoned him.
After Yang Shouliang took Zhang Tai down, Yang Fugong said, "Your Majesty, Ximen Sigong and Zheng Qi are as close as father and son. If you want to deal with Zheng Qi, you must first get rid of the old thief Ximen. Ximen Sigong is not trustworthy."
Li Yan frowned, "Since that's the case, Ximen Sigong is old, so he will find a few people to send him to be a neighbor with Zhang Tai. Don't let him walk around the palace again in the future." He stood up and said, "Let Zheng Cong-sei go to Dongdu. Will he be willing to hand over the military power of Hedong Town? In addition, Zheng Qi had a close relationship with Li Jing, and I don't trust this person."
"Your Majesty, Zheng Cong-sei doesn't have the courage to openly disobey the Holy Order. As long as he doesn't force him too much, he dares not refuse. Let him stay in Luoyang first, and then after Li Keyong takes over Hedong, he will find an excuse to give him an order to avoid him. As for Zheng Ting, this person is a stubborn man. To deal with him, I have a perfect plan to give Li Changyan a secret order to join Fengxiang's marching Sima, and let him secretly join Fengxiang's towns and drive Zheng Ting away directly."
"Is that Li Changyan reliable?" Li Yan asked.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Li Changyan is absolutely reliable. The old minister has observed this person for Your Majesty for a long time and has had some contact with him. He is definitely a loyal minister. Compared to a person like Zheng Ting who only has a family in his eyes, it is definitely much more trustworthy. Fengxiang is the only way for Your Majesty to return to Beijing after regaining Chang'an. How can a person who fights Li Jing be controlled by such an important place? After defeating Huang Chao, the next one we have to deal with is Li Jing. However, Li Jing is strong and it is very unwise to deal with him directly. Therefore, we must first clean up the towns that secretly communicate with Li Jing, and remove those allies of Li Jing one by one. First cut off their branches and leaves, and finally cut them down."
Tian Lingzi, the 12 Guards of the Ten Army, sat quietly on the soft couch in the hall. He looked at the gold piled up in the hall in front of him, but could not be happy at all. The reason was very simple. The secret reports collected by the searchers in front of him were really hard to be happy. Even looking at the secret reports, he even felt panic.
Li Yan was doing things more and more excessively, and he no longer regarded him as his father at all, and even gradually stopped taking him seriously.
The four eunuchs in the palace, Zhang Tai and Ximen Sigong, were all imprisoned. If he had heard such news before, he would have been very happy, but at this moment, he only felt a sad feeling like a rabbit and a fox. The little emperor was about to take action against someone he disliked. Alas, it was all about Huang Chao's impending demise recently, which made the little emperor excited.
It took him so many years to run an excellent deal, controlling a little emperor in his hands, and he once became the most powerful figure in the Tang Dynasty through this little emperor. But when Huang Chao made a fuss, the world turned against him, and the towns all became selfish. Finally, Li Jing and Li Ke took advantage of the situation. A few years later, Huang Chao captured the two capitals, and his 150,000 Shen Ce troops were vulnerable. He hurried to Chengdu. Although he controlled Sanchuan with the retreat arrangements that had been made a few years ago, he finally lost his strength.
Now, the little emperor began to get along with Yang Fugong's brothers and threw his father aside.
Alas, it's time for the most critical time again.
If this continues, the emperor and the Yang brothers are obviously going to deal with him next.
He is an eunuch, and his brother Yang Fugong is also an eunuch. However, the eunuch whom he first entered the palace to worship was just a small eunuch, while the adoptive father whom the Yang brothers worshipped was the largest eunuch family in the palace.
The Yang brothers are the Yang family, one of the four most powerful eunuch families in the palace. This family is powerful in the palace and has been large eunuchs for generations. Now, when he joined forces with Ximen Sigong, he finally suppressed Yang Fugong. Now that the Yang brothers have won the emperor Pang Xin, the situation will be reversed immediately. Yang Fugong lives in the palace, and Yang Fuguang contacts various towns outside. They are no longer afraid of themselves.
Heard that Yang Fuguang had already taken over Li Keyong and other eight towns, including Li Quanzhong, as his adopted son, Yang Fugong also secretly accepted many generals of the vassal states, such as Li Changyan as his adopted sons. Even many generals in the Shence army surrendered to Yang Fugong. His life and death were already on the forefront. One is not good, if he loses the emperor's support, he may capsize at any time.
The eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were never afraid of the emperor because they were all appointed by the emperors, and they were in charge of life and death. They were not afraid of the vassal states, because the vassal states were mutually restrained and far away from the capital, and the eunuchs also controlled the Shence army in the capital.
In fact, the eunuchs are most afraid of eunuchs. When eunuchs are a whole, they are extremely powerful. But the internal struggles of powerful eunuchs are becoming more and more intense. The battle between eunuchs and eunuchs is cruel and ruthless. Just as powerful fortresses are always first to be broken from the inside, eunuchs lose power and fall, and most of them are defeated by eunuchs who are also eggless.
Yang Fugong has this ability now, and his power has penetrated into his power. There are also Yang Fuguang and foreign players in Zhuzhen outside. His foreign players only have one brother who used to sell sesame cakes. How could he get Yang Fuguang, the current celebrity of the emperor?
Once he loses power, falls, becomes corrupt, seeks bribes, transfers to princes, forms cliques for personal gain, and is negligent in his affairs... many charges will float above his head. Once he loses power, they will immediately put these charges on his head.
What should he do?
Fighting with Yang Fugong? This is a bit too dangerous. Moreover, he is greedy for money and has his own hands. But when it comes to rolling up his sleeves and doing it with real swords and guns, he will not be able to do it. Otherwise, the 150,000 Shen Ce Army would not have collapsed before the war was forbidden under Huang Chao's advance, and he would not have to abandon Luoyang first, then throw him away Chang'an, and retreat to Chengdu.
He really has no confidence in fighting.
Perhaps, let your brothers lead troops into the palace and clear the king's side?
He led his troops into the palace and then killed all the Yang brothers, and even Ximen Sigong and Zhang Tai should not let go. Then he firmly controlled the disobedient emperor in his hands, and no longer had to be so polite to him in the future. He just let him be a puppet honestly.
However, he had no confidence in doing this. If he really wanted to do that, who could guarantee that Yang Fuguang would not come to clean the king and lead his troops into Xichuan? Yang Fuguang, a dead eunuch, is very good at leading troops, and he has adopted sons from the Eight Townsmen, and they are all old war-torn guys.
Damn, don't force me!
Tian Lingzi opened his eyes and showed a fierce light.
Perhaps, he could find an ally to deal with Yang Fuguang for him. In this way, he would be more confident in the matter if he only needed to deal with Yang Fugong, the dead eunuch. But who could be his ally? In addition to his brothers, the other two of them were also his confidants. However, although those two guys were also from imperial guards, they were not their ability to become the confidant of the last rank, but because they sued him early and were his confidants, so he spared no effort to promote them, and finally became the position of the confidant of the last rank by batting.
It is too unreliable to ask them to deal with Yang Fuguang and his adopted son of the Eight Town Marshal.
