In Chengdu, in the Palace of Nourishing Heart, Li Yi and Yang Fugong sat opposite each other, both silent.
Li Yi frowned, still with a deep indignation on his face. Yang Fugong lowered his head, his eyes glancing at Li Yi from time to time, and there was disappointment in his eyes.
In the silence, I suddenly heard a noise outside the hall, and there were heavy footsteps in the middle.
Sure enough, it was Tian Lingzi who came, he looked very energetic in his outfit today, as a eunuch, he was wearing a python robe, a pair of deerskin boots with knee-high tops, a beam crown on his head, gold for the beam, inlaid with jade, extremely flamboyant, swaying and swaying as if no one was coming.
was about to enter the hall, but saw the new Tianwei military envoy Yang Shouli standing in front of the hall, standing outside the door, with a horizontal knife in his waist. Tian Lingzi snorted coldly, but this Yang Shouli is Yang Fugong's righteous son. The Yang brothers have recently won the trust of Pang Xin, the son of heaven, Yang Fuguang is the capital of the world outside, and Yang Fugong is the lieutenant of the left army of Shence by the side of the Son of Heaven. Relying on the favor of the Son of Heaven, Yang Fugong accepted the righteous sons and placed them all over the Chengdu Palace. Now, even the emperor of the palace has been inserted.
He stood on his feet and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Yang Shouli smiled all over his face, stepped forward and bowed, and said in a low voice: "Humble to meet the Duke of Jin." ”
When Tian Lingzi heard this honorific title, he became more and more dissatisfied in his heart. At the beginning of the Son of Heaven's accession to the throne, he was crowned as the Duke of Jin. It really made him happy for a while. But now. The Shatuo barbarian suddenly became the king of Jin. What's going on? His own father is the Duke of Jin, and Li Ke used that one-eyed wolf, but he was called the emperor's brother by the Son of Heaven, and he was also named the king of Jin? Where do you put yourself? This matter has become a taboo for Tian Lingzi, but Yang Shouli still called it to his face, obviously deliberately mocking. Thinking of it, even the two brothers Yang Fugong and Yang Fuguang have been named county kings. He is still a national prince, and a burst of anger is surging more and more.
He squinted slightly, and the loud voice could be heard by everyone in the hall, "What are you doing here?" ”
Yang Shouli straightened up and said, "The humble duty is here to protect the Son of Heaven!" ”
Tian Lingzi was about to make a difficulty, but Li Yu in the hall asked loudly: "Who is making noise outside the hall?" ”
Tian Lingzi flicked the sleeves of his robe with both hands, snorted coldly, and said as he stepped into the hall: "The old minister has come to see Your Majesty!" He nodded slightly, and before Li Yi could speak, he had already straightened up. The minister is old, and Rong Chen is waiting for him! ”
Li Yi felt dissatisfied in his heart. But he smiled on his face and said, "Naturally, come and give Father a seat." Then he said, "What is the matter with my father?" As my father said, I have already issued the three edicts a few days ago, and I must have received my edict yesterday when Li Jing got married. ”
Tian Lingzi raised his head slightly, raised his hand and said: "The old minister has long known that His Majesty will take responsibility for the sake of the Tang Society. Today, the old minister is here to ask for something. Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu made Chen Jingxuan, Jiannan Dongchuan Jiedu made Yang Shili, Shannan Xidao Jiedu made Niu Miao as a national feudal official, the imperial court Ping Vassal Festival Marshal, hard work and high achievements, according to the court system, can be crowned king. The old minister asks His Majesty to issue an edict! ”
These words were loud and neat, full of energy, but Li Yi and Yang Fugong in the hall looked at each other.
Li Yi couldn't help but change color on his face, gasped, and secretly thought: "Although Tian Lingzi is domineering on weekdays, he is not as aggressive as he is today, he must have seen me favor the Yang brothers, and he was troubled by me." I felt a little more unhappy in my heart, looking at the guards on the left and right, except for Yang Shouli and Yang Shouxin who were Yang Fugong Yizi who were somewhat reliable, the others were Tian Lingzi's people. Thinking that the entire palace was under the control of Tian Lingzi's hands, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
Li Yi forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, settled his mind, and said: "Chen Jingxuan, Yang Shili, and Niu Miao were originally Shence generals, and they have only been in the position of Sanchuan Festival Marshal for three or four years. Speaking of which, the qualifications are not enough, the prestige is not high, I just issued an order not long ago to add three people as county dukes, and now they are suddenly crowned kings, I am afraid that the rest of the marshals of the feudal towns will not be convinced. However, the three marshals are indeed loyal and diligent, I think that if the three marshals are crowned as the generals of the second-rank auxiliary country, the title of the pillar is added, and the other position is added, and then each of them is a son of the six-rank imperial guard, what do you think? ”
Tian Lingzi saw that the emperor took a step back, and what he said was quite reasonable, and he hesitated in his heart.
He lowered his head and thought about it and replied: "In recent years, starting from Li Jing, there have been countless kings, not only Li Jing, Gao Piao, Zhou Bao and others have been crowned. Even Li Keyong, Han Jian, Wang Jingchong and others were all crowned kings. And not long ago, Li Quanzhong, Yang Fugong, and Yang Fuguang were crowned kings, why did His Majesty refuse to give the Sanchuan Festival Marshal who loyally guarded the holy car the king? Could it be that Your Majesty is really better with foreign enemies than with your family? ”
Li Yi has already heard some flavors, and the last sentence is the point. He gave Yang Fugong's brother the title of county king, but did not give Tian Lingzi the title, and this old slave was dissatisfied. Yang Fugong, who was silent, couldn't help but sneer, "May I ask Tian Gong, are Li Quanzhong and Li Keyong not my Yang family brothers?" In your eyes, if you keep talking about merit, why do you keep avoiding it without fighting? Previously, Cui Anqian and others recruited troops to rebel, why did you want to take away his soldiers and horses, spend countless food and salaries, and you formed a new army of 100,000, but why did you only send 5,000 soldiers and horses to Guanzhong so far? ”
As soon as his voice fell, Li Yi immediately asked sharply: "If you could have sent more troops and horses into the customs to fight last time, maybe Chang'an would have been recovered." ”
The monarch and the ministers are relatively deliberative, and it comes to this point.
Tian Lingzi should have kowtowed and pleaded guilty.
But now the situation is clear to him. On the bright side, there is Huang Chao, a thief, who also occupies the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang, and the thief is not small. Secretly, Li Jing was full-fledged and began to have the idea and ability to set up another imperial court. The other feudal towns, on the surface, respected the Tang Dynasty, but in fact they were already divided into their own territories. Li Yi, the son of heaven, if he didn't have the Sanchuan that he operated, he wouldn't even have food and clothing, his words. And how much prestige is left? The current imperial court. There is almost no binding force on the towns. The Son of Heaven has already become a mud puppet. Although it is high on the stage, it is just a mud puppet.
Therefore, he was not afraid, raised his head arrogantly, and replied: "Perhaps, maybe the old minister stayed with His Majesty the last time, and Chang'an will not be lost." Perhaps, the old minister sent more troops and horses into the customs last time. Chang'an has been recovered. But that's all maybe. Maybe it's still possible that when he stayed in Chang'an, it was possible that the old minister and His Majesty had become Huangchao's prisoners. Perhaps, last time, the old minister sent more troops and horses into the customs, and there was no one around His Majesty to guard him, maybe he would be taken advantage of by Xiaoxiao. The old minister persuaded His Majesty to leave Chang'an, and did not send more soldiers and horses to fight in Guanzhong, what is all this for? It's not for the safety of His Majesty, how can the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles be allowed to make a mistake? Luoyang Chang'an was lost. You can call back in the future. One or two defeats in the war are also a common occurrence in soldiers. But if there is a slight mistake under His Majesty. At that time, there will be no regrets. Your Majesty must not believe the evil words of villains like Yang Fugong to confuse the public, and slander the ministers. ”
To put it mildly, this is.
Li Yi knew that Tian Lingzi controlled Sanchuan and controlled the soldiers and horses that were moving. Whatever you say, it's useless at the very least. He was afraid that there would be more branches in the fight, so he said: "Those old things don't need to be mentioned again, I think it's better to crown the three marshals as the princes of the country, how about it?" ”
Tian Lingzi saw that the emperor was reluctant to take the initiative to make him king at this time, and he was furious. He mentioned that he would crown the commander of Sanchuan as the king, which was actually a hint that Li Yi wanted to crown him king. Now seeing that the Son of Heaven deliberately pretended to be stupid, and he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, he actually raised his arms and raised his eyebrows in the palace and shouted: "Your Majesty, is this buying vegetables in the vegetable market, and bargaining?" If there is merit, it will be rewarded, otherwise how can you serve the public? Since even Li Quanzhong and Li Keyong can be crowned kings, why can't Sanchuan Jieshuai be crowned kings. Since His Majesty let Yang Fugong and Yang Fuguang both be crowned kings, the old minister dared to ask, why couldn't the old minister be crowned? Could it be that the old ministers are not as loyal as them, and they are not as meritorious? Today, a certain is not an official title, but only a rational word. If the rewards and punishments under His Majesty can't be clearly distinguished, but he just does what he wants, and he is bent on listening to the traitorous ministers and villains, then the old minister has to stand up and fight! ”
Li Yitie's face turned blue, and he sat on the dragon chair and was silent.
Yang Fugong and Tian Lingzi glanced at each other, their eyes were like swords, as if they could burst out at any time.
After a moment of stalemate, Li Yi saw that Tian Lingzi finally tore his face and told the truth, knowing that if he continued to fight against him, he was afraid that it would be difficult to turn things around.
Then he said, "Father, let me stop my anger for the time being. In fact, I was ready to tell you that I was determined to be the king of my father. ”
Tian Lingzi snorted coldly in his heart, this Li Yi is really cheap, if he doesn't put some pressure on him, he doesn't know who is in control of the situation. He knew that the so-called thing that he had been preparing to crown him king for a long time was just a step. He doesn't say anything, anyway, as long as the goal is achieved.
At the moment, his face immediately softened.
"Since I have talked about this matter today, I will immediately issue an edict and immediately crown my father as the king of Shu. In addition, Chen Jingxuan was crowned as the king of Linqiong County, Yang Shili was crowned as the king of Xincheng County, and Niu Miao was crowned as the king of Xingyuan County. In addition, the civil and military officials of Sanchuan were all promoted to the first rank, and the soldiers of the three towns were all promoted to the first rank, and the honor was added to the first rank. ”
Tian Ling Zigege laughed twice, as happy as an old hen that had just laid eggs. He paced in front of Yang Fugong, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are the king of the county, the king of so-and-so, the king of Yang County!" Hearing this, Yang Fugong stared at Tian Lingzi coldly, before the new emperor ascended the throne, he was already an envoy to the Privy Council, and Tian Lingzi was just a pony envoy, Tian Lingzi had to bow down when he saw him. But now, this old eunuch has climbed on his head again and again to, and he can't bear it anymore.
Yang Fugong finally withdrew his angry gaze, which in Tian Lingzi's view, was an expression of his admission of defeat. He was very satisfied in his heart, turned to Li Yi, and said: "Your Majesty, since King Yang Jun has no objection, please ask the emperor to draft an edict with a seal!" ”
Li Yi tightened his lips, raised his head, and was silent, his two hands holding the chair trembled slightly.
Tian Lingzi saw that Li Yi didn't answer, and said with a slight smile: "Oh, the old minister is confused, the matter of drafting the edict has to be handed over to the bachelor of Hanlin Chengzhao, but there is no need to be so troublesome, just let the minister do it for you." After speaking, he strode close to the royal table, lifted the imperial pen, dipped it in cinnabar, hung his wrist for a while, and the pen walked the dragon and snake, and soon an edict was drafted. He read aloud: Fengtian Lingzi is the edict of the king of Shu, and his subordinates: the choice of fate is really difficult. Non-husbands can be stated. Wu can ban violence and succeed in defeating the enemy. Allow Hongcai, Shen Xi life. Privy envoy, lieutenant of the Shence Army, envoy of the Tenth Army and the Twelfth Weiguan Army, serving in the middle, the Jin State Decree, the Heyue is idle, and the rock corridor is a treasure. Knowledgeable, broad and strategic; The operation should be prescription and used without lag. It will be determined by the outside world, clarify the counties, send the light of the domain, worship the honor of the community, and retire to Yang to end the reputation. Can be crowned the king of Fenyang County. is still the envoy of the 10th Army and the 12th Guards, and the rest is the same. ”
With a snap of both hands, he closed the silk book and shouted outside the hall: "Someone! ”
Several imperial guards entered the palace in response, and Tian Lingzi put the edict in front of Li Yi and said, "Please use the treasure for Your Majesty!" ”
Although Li Yi was furious in his heart, he looked at Tian Lingzi like a wolf and the wolf-like guards, so he finally had to summon the guards and ask them to call the person in charge of the jade seal, take out the jade seal and stamp it on the 'edict' in front of Tian Lingzi.
Tian Lingzi took the edict, read it several times with satisfaction, and blew on the seal that had not yet dried up, and handed it to the guards behind him: "Take it and pay the three provinces, let them pass it according to the order, and then tell the world." After speaking, he turned around and smiled at Li Yi and said: "Forgive the old minister for being rude, the old minister is such a quick temper, and he can't wait for anything." ”
Li Yi waited for him to finish, stood up, glanced at Tian Lingzi, and said slowly: "I'm a little tired today, so let's disperse!" After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left!
Yang Fugong was like having a nightmare, and was stunned by Tian Lingzi's domineering behavior.
But Tian Lingzi was like a person who had nothing to do, with a smile on his face, pinching his smooth and beardless chin and smiling. Since the Son of Heaven has begun to distance himself from him, there is no need to come back to the previous pretend.
Toasting without eating and drinking, all this is his own begging.
Li Jing can be the king of Qin at ease, why can't he Tian Lingzi be the king of Shu.
Even if the situation is rotten now, as long as he controls Sanchuan in hand, he, the king of Shu, will be quite nourishing. Sometimes he even thinks that the world is in chaos like this, so that the Son of Heaven will obediently hear about it. As for what Li Tang is in the world, the imperial court, he doesn't care at all.
Li Yi, who returned to the imperial study, opened a bottle of red wine and poured it directly into his mouth, drank most of the bottle in one go, and then slammed the wine bottle against the wall and smashed it. roared loudly: "The traitor Li Jing, the evil slave Tian Lingzi, the traitor Huang Chao"
He turned to the outside and shouted, "Lieutenant Yang, please." ”
Yang Fugong soon arrived, kowtowed, and said: "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, the lord humiliates the ministers to death, and the ministers are ashamed of His Majesty, so that His Majesty will be bullied by the field thieves." ”
Li Yi had tears on his face and said hatefully: "What happened to Zhu Wen you said last time?" ”
"Zhu Wen is still a little hesitant on his side, he wants a lot." Yang Fugong replied.
"Don't you just want an official title and a territory? I give it to him, you immediately send the edict to Zhu Wen, I immediately crowned Zhu Wen as the king of Liang, the Taifu, the hussar general, the general of the left Jin Wuwei, the deputy marshal of the Henan camp, the envoy of the Xuanwu Festival, and I gave him the name Quanzhong, well, and then choose a princess of the clan to give Zhu Quanzhong. ”
"Your Majesty, there is a suitable candidate for the minister, the eldest princess of the East China Sea, the daughter of King Zhao, who has never been married, and it is just right to give it to Zhu Quanzhong."
Li Yi frowned: "The eldest princess of the East China Sea really has no marriage match, but she is twenty-six this year, and she has actually followed Li Jing for a long time, and I heard that she is still pregnant with Li Jing's child, is this appropriate?" ”
Yang Fugong smiled, "That's it, it's the most suitable." ”
It is indeed wonderful to give Li Jing's woman to Zhu Quanzhong.
The corners of Li Yi's mouth showed a knowing smile, "Okay, let's make a decision!" (To be continued......)
