Sikong, Menxia Shilang, Tongping Zhangshi Zheng Zheng has always been more inclined to support Li Jing in the imperial court, which is not to say that he has received any benefits from Li Jing, but he thinks that what Li Jing has done in the East over the years is indeed very remarkable, and has made the people live and work in peace and contentment, since the accession to the throne today, Li Jing's rule is a rare place of tranquility, not only Dengzhou, which was originally the largest port in the north, has not been rich for decades, but also has become the most prosperous and wealthy place in the entire Tang Dynasty under Li Jing's governance for nearly ten years. He has heard many merchants who have been to Liaodong say that Liaodong is even more prosperous than Hebei now, especially in southern and western Liaoning, even more than Henan.

Zheng Jinshi has been eunuch for many years, and he did rely on the support of his father's friend back then, the eunuch Ximen Sigong in the palace, to enter the political hall. But no matter how he got to the top, he does have the persistence of a scholar in his heart. As Qin Bao said, if you are an official and do not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell potatoes and medicines.

Many people say that Li Jing is actually a traitorous minister, a powerful minister, just like Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty, Cao Cao of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Sima Zhao of Wei. They have always carried the banner of the Tang Dynasty on the surface. It's Zun Sui. But in fact, it is a real separatist warlord, and sooner or later, he will plot to usurp the throne. Zheng Zhen actually has some support for this statement, but he always has some hope in his heart, feeling that Li Jing may be different, Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and not usurped. As long as Li Jing didn't do that rebellious thing for a day, they were the courtiers who wanted to revive the Tang Dynasty. can't help but have hope for Li Jing. After all, this Li Tang has been eroded, and it has reached the point where the building is about to fall, and now, only Li Jing has the ability to turn the tide and help the building to fall. If you don't pin your hopes on him, do you want to pin your hopes on Tian Lingzi and Yang Fugong? Yang Fuguang is a little incomprehensible, although he is a eunuch, he seems to be very loyal to Li Tang, but Yang Fuguang is just a eunuch, he is different after all. Although the power is not small now, it still has to rely on Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong, Qin Zongquan, Wang Chongrong, Li Changyan and other warlords. And he knows very well that although these people are all local commanders and generals like Li Jing, they are absolutely different from Li Jing. Pinning your hopes in their hands will only make Datang worse and worse.

He believed that Yu Cong, Xin Yan, Yu Xuan, Li Zhuo, Du Xian, Zhang Zimian, Zeng Yuanyu, Cui Anqian, Cui Yunqing, and other extremely prestigious civil and military ministers who had now served under Li Jing of the Qin Domain, must also have the same expectations as him.

It's just that their expectations, in Tian Lingzi's view, are collusion with Li Jing, and now Yang Fugong has the same idea.

At the beginning, with the expectation of Li Jing, he cooperated with Li Jing and actively organized the Guanzhong coalition army Qinwang to counterattack Chang'an, but when the situation in Guanzhong stabilized, these eunuchs immediately secretly contacted Li Changyan to rebel against him and drove him away. After he left the Fengxiang Army, he was called to Chengdu to serve as Sikong, Menxia Shilang, and Tongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, in charge of military management. But before he stayed in Chengdu for half a year, he was expelled from the court by Tian Lingzi and Yang Fugong, and was forced to go to the son of the state assassin to recuperate.

Although he was completely excluded from the imperial court, Zheng Zheng still paid great attention to the affairs of the government and the opposition. In the past two years, the government and the opposition have been in chaos, and the eunuchs in Chengdu have finally fought among themselves. Tian Lingzi held the emperor hostage, imprisoned Zhang Tai and Ximen Sigong, and drove Yang Fugong away. Yang Fugong arrived in Guanzhong, and soon recovered the two capitals with Yang Fuguang and killed Huangchao. Just when he was relieved, he suddenly heard the news that Yang Fugong had established Shou Wang Jie as the new emperor on New Year's Day, and respected Li Yi as the emperor.

Now, in front of him, there are two holy decrees.

One is to crown him as the Taifu, Shizhong, Tongping Zhangshi, and the King of Yingchuan County, and invite him to enter the court as the prime minister. The other is to crown him as the Taishi, Zhongshu Ling, Tongping Zhangshi, and the King of Langya County, and also invite him to enter the court as the prime minister.

But when these two Huang Aya holy decrees were placed in front of him, he couldn't be happy.

The reason is simple, these two holy decrees were not issued by the same emperor. The former one was sent by Li Yi, the son of heaven in Chengdu, and the latter was sent by Li Jie, the new son of heaven who had just ascended the throne on New Year's Day.

However, Zheng Zheng knew very well that it was unlikely that these two wills were really the will of the Son of Heaven, and the edict in Chengdu was undoubtedly issued by Tian Lingzi, while the edict in Chang'an was issued by Yang Fugong.

He also didn't believe that he was tired of both of them not long ago, but now he was so sought-after, and both sides were vying for him to be the prime minister. He knew in his heart that all they needed was his name to gain momentum. Whichever way he went, in a few days they would throw him aside like a footcloth.

The remnants of the Yellow Nest have not been eradicated, the world is still full of thieves swarming, and the people are displaced by the war. This little bit of dawn of Datang Zhongxing, which was finally seen, was suddenly blocked by dark clouds.

Li Yi is only twenty-two years old this year, although he was not a Ming monarch before, but it was mainly because he was deceived by Tian Lingzi and Lu Xian and others, and he was still a good emperor in essence, at least he worked hard. But such a young emperor is now hijacked by Tian Lingzi, whom he once regarded as his father, and abolished the throne by the Yang brothers, whom he regarded as truly reliable. Now, the Yang brothers have helped King Shou to ascend the throne, although he is also a smart clan, but he is only fifteen years old. Li Ye set up Li Ye without Li Yi, making it clear that it was the result of the struggle between the eunuchs, they all wanted to hold the emperor in their hands, and they would not really let the emperor take power, they just wanted an emperor puppet.

As the half-adopted son of Ximen Sigong, Zheng Ji still has feelings for Li Yi, the emperor, but he also knows it. The Yang family is now stronger. Far beyond Tian Lingzi. The new emperor has been established and ascended the throne, and almost all the marshals of the Central Plains feudal towns are the godsons of the Yang brothers, and it is an indisputable fact that Li Yi, the emperor, has become the emperor. If you want to change, it's impossible.

Li Ye's ascension to the throne meant that the original weak balance of the Li Tang court was completely broken. It turned out that after the Anshi Rebellion. The imperial court still barely maintained a little stability, establishing more and more feudal towns, allowing local feudal towns to restrain each other, while in the middle of the court, the eunuchs and prime ministers were balanced with each other, using eunuchs to prevent power ministers, using eunuchs to control the forbidden army, and at the same time using prime ministers to restrict eunuchs. Although it is said that the dispute between the north and the south after the most reluctant, the eunuchs are getting stronger and stronger. The prime ministers lost the struggle, but at least. There's also a little bit of balance at the bottom.

And now, the eunuchs are colluding with the warlords of the feudal towns in those places, and the prime ministers and civil officials of the imperial court have completely become the puppets of the eunuchs, which is a dangerous signal, when the last little balance is broken, then the dangerous building of Li Tang will collapse at any time. If the foundation does not exist, how can the building not collapse?

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

Zheng Ji was already upset, looked up at the outside of the house, and said angrily: "What's noisy, there is no rule!" ”

"It's Childe who is back!" The servant walked quickly into the study and replied, "Childe has just come back from horseback. ”

"Chuifang is back?" Zheng Jin heard that it was the eldest grandson who came back, and he couldn't help but smile a little on his face, Chuifang is the word of the eldest grandson, but the eldest son of his eldest son Zheng Ningji, named Shaoyu, just sixteen years old this year, can be Wen Yunwu, and Zheng Jin likes it very much. A few years ago, Li Yi went hunting in the west, and Zheng Ji sent his eldest son Zheng Ningji to accompany him, and later came to Chengdu, and the Son of Heaven awarded him as a squire in the military department. When Zheng Jin's Longwei was defeated, the good news spread to Chengdu, and Li Yi specially awarded Zheng Ningji as the secretary of the military department. However, soon after, Zheng Jin was removed from the post of Fengxiang Marshal, and Zheng Ningji was demoted to the history of Bizhou Thorn, and soon after Zheng Jin arrived in Chengdu, he also went to Bizhou's son.

As he was talking, Zheng Shaoyu had already walked into the study.

After a few cold words, he waved the servant away.

His gaze swept over the two yellow silk holy decrees on the table, and chuckled twice: "What reward do you give to the boss?" ”

Zheng Ji moved the two holy decrees aside, and said lonely: "It's just borrowing the little reputation left of my old bones, it can't be true." ”

Although Zheng Shaoyu is young, he has a mature look, "Grandfather still doesn't accept it, these eunuchs don't have a good thing." ”

"Chuifang, be cautious." Zheng Ji was a little dissatisfied with his grandson's frivolity, and the eunuchs were not all without good things, such as Ximen Sigong, who treated him like a father.

"Why did you get back today?" The grandson recently studied in Chengdu, and in his spare time every day, he visited an old general in Chengdu to learn martial arts. He and his son are not against his grandson's martial arts, if he had been in the past, he would definitely have objected, but now this army is in turmoil, and it is not enough to just study, if he can learn some martial arts and know how to lead the troops to fight, he will still be able to serve the Son of Heaven in the future.

"When the father asked his grandson to come back, the father asked the grandson to bring a letter to his grandfather."

Zheng Ji took the letter from his grandson a little strangely, he didn't understand how his son wrote a letter but asked his grandson to deliver it. After all, the son is in Bizhou with him, while the grandson is in Chengdu.

When he opened the letter, the more Zheng Zheng looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and he read the letter again and again for more than half an hour.

"Grandfather, what's in the letter?" Zheng Shaoyu was a little curious.

Zheng Zheng didn't answer, his heart was too chaotic at this time. The letter was indeed written by his son, but the content was striking. In the letter, the son told him that the people of Li Jing, the king of Qin, had come to him, and the meaning was very clear, that is, he wanted to invite their father and son to Yanjing.

As for what they asked them to do in Yanjing, it was also very clear. Li Jing was very dissatisfied with the eunuchs who were now arbitrarily deposing the Son of Heaven, so he planned to invite Zheng Zheng and other loyal ministers of the imperial court to Yanjing to discuss and choose a wise and virtuous clan to take the throne again, and assist the new emperor together to revive Li Tang. In this letter, Li Jing also told Zheng Jing that he also sent invitations to hundreds of famous ministers and loyal people at the same time, inviting them to go to Yanjing together and rebuild the Tang Dynasty!

"Li Jing also wants to set up a son of heaven, so that there will be three sons of heaven in the world. There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords in the people, this, this is the source of turmoil. Zheng Ji sighed in his heart, but he was faintly moved in his heart, allowing Yang Fugong and Ximen Sigong to mess up like this, the world will only become more and more chaotic. If Li Jing really intends to recreate Datang, maybe this is an opportunity. He should probably go to Yanjing and make another contribution to Datang.

However, will Li Jing really be loyal to Li Tang? He didn't have an answer to this question! (To be continued......)
