Chapter 457: Long Yan was furious
(Thank you for the monthly pass support of qiaomu1977 and empty lust, continue to ask for monthly passes, tips, and subscriptions!) )
After a while, the inner chamberlain reported to the prime ministers of the political affairs hall to ask for a meeting.
Li Yi had a headache, although he also felt that what Ximen Sigong and others said had some truth, and it was indeed very likely to cause a mutiny if it was not handled well at this time. However, he was a little reluctant to let him send Tian Lingzi to the barracks. He understood very well that Tian Lingzi had really arrived at the barracks, and in the current situation, those soldiers were really likely to do everything. This time, Tian Lingzi will not be able to come back nine times out of ten.
"Please ask a few Xiangguo to wait in the Yanying Palace, and I will go now." Li Yi said helplessly, turned his head to Tian Lingzi, who kept crying, and said, "Father is also here." ”
Yanying Hall is a palace of Daming Palace, at this time there are three major palace groups in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, Taiji Palace in the west, Daming Palace in the east, and Xingqing Palace in the south.
Taiji Palace, also known as Xinei, Sui called Daxing Palace, was the political center of the early Tang Dynasty, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and Taizong Li Shimin ruled for more than 30 years at this time. The main palace has the Taiji Palace, the Liangyi Palace, which is the main place for governance, and there are a large number of buildings such as the Ganlu Hall and the Wude Palace. The main gate of Taiji Palace is called Chengtian Gate, and the north gate is called Xuanwu Gate, and the famous Xuanwu Gate change occurred here.
Daming Palace is also known as Dongnei, it is the eighth year of Zhenguan Li Shimin in the palace city forbidden garden Longshou Yuan built, formerly known as Yong'an Palace, the second year changed to Daming Palace. In the second year of Tang Longshuo, it was expanded in 662 AD, and it was moved from Taiji Palace to live here and deal with the government. Most of the emperors since then have lived in Daming Palace. There are mainly three halls of Hanyuan, Xuanzheng and Zichen. Hanyuan Hall is the most majestic building in Chang'an City, the abutment is more than one zhang high, and the east and west are twenty-five zhang long. It is 14 zhang wide from north to south. It far exceeds the scale of the three existing palaces of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Gaozong Li Zhi built the Linde Hall during the Linde period. It is the largest palace in the Daming Palace and is the place where banquets are held.
Xingqing Palace, also known as Nannei, is located in Xingqing Fang, Chang'an City, is the former residence of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji before the emperor, this is the palace, the second year of Kaiyuan 714 AD changed to Xingqing Palace, after several expansions, it has become the official palace of the emperor living and listening to the government. Xingqing Palace is more than 400 zhang long from north to south. It is 300 zhang 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 the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, and there are central institutions such as Zhongshu Province and Inner Province in the palace outside the palace. Since the Emperor of Daizong, the emperor wants to have a consultation, or the minister wants to have a play, that is, to summon the right in this palace. Because there are no guards and the etiquette is simple, people have to speak. Later, the Yanying Hall was gradually opened regularly, and it became the place where the emperor received ministers and officials on a daily basis and listened to political deliberations.
Today's Son of Heaven rarely holds court meetings except for Shuowang and New Year's Day court meetings. In normal times, the affairs of the DPRK and China are all entrusted to the Southern and Northern Divisions. The south is the political hall of the prime ministers, the north division. It's the eunuchs in the palace. However, Yan Yingci was right, and he still kept it, and when the government hall and the Privy Council were arguing endlessly, the emperor dealt with it here.
When Li Yi rushed to Yanying Hall with the four great eunuchs of Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong, Zhang Tai, and Tian Lingzi, all the prime ministers of the political hall were already waiting there.
Because it was in the Yanying Palace, there were no guards next to it, the etiquette was simple, and after a simple meeting between the monarchs and ministers, Prime Minister Lu Xian immediately explained to Li Yi about the current situation of the camp outside the city.
"Your Majesty, the ceremony of entering the city that was originally scheduled for today's reading will not be carried out as planned. The minister thought that it should be postponed and postponed. ”
Zheng Zhen glanced at Lu Xi dissatisfiedly, "When is it now, and do you still care about these side matters?" At present, the generals and soldiers in the military camp are furious, and they all claim to clear the monarch's side and kill Tian Lingzi to avenge Li Zhenguo. Now although there are Zheng Congyan and Yu Xuan and other marshals trying their best to maintain, but this matter is very dangerous, if the court does not give the soldiers an explanation, not only will the hearts of the soldiers be cold, but also if it is not good, these soldiers will really do everything. ”
The corners of Tian Lingzi's mouth twitched a few times, and he sat with his head down and didn't speak.
The prime minister in the current political hall of the DPRK, headed by Lu Xian, is the most powerful, in fact, it is Zheng Jin, then Wang Duo, followed by Yu Cong and Li Wei.
Moreover, these prime ministers are also divided into several factions, and they all secretly have the support of big eunuchs.
The reason why Lu Xian was able to rise to the head of the prime minister was that Arita Lingzi had strong support behind him. And in the same way, Zheng Ji can become the prime minister, and there is also the support of the big eunuch behind him, Ximen Sigong and Zheng Zheng have a very close relationship, Zheng Jin's father and Ximen Sigong were officials in the same place at the beginning, and the relationship between the two is very good. After the death of Zheng Jin's father, Ximen Sigong personally found Zheng Zheng and brought him into the house as a nephew. Later, Zheng Jinneng became a jinshi at the age of eighteen, the head of the young jinshi of the Tang Dynasty, and became the prime minister all the way, it can be said that Ximen Sigong helped a lot in the back.
And the prime minister Wang Duo, but he has a close relationship with Yang Fugong, and the prime minister Yu Xuan is the uncle of today's son.
Because of the relationship behind these things, Prime Minister Lu Xi and Zheng Ji have always had a bad relationship, but what is even more peculiar is that these two prime ministers are two cousins.
Zheng Zheng's father Zheng Ya, Lu Xi's father Lu Qiu, and Du Rangneng's father Du Xianquan, who later became the prime minister, all married Li Ao's daughter. Li Ao was also a celebrity in the late Tang Dynasty, and Li Ao's articles were 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 in the same dynasty and should have a good relationship, but because the people standing behind them were opposites, the two prime ministers were actually born opposites.
Li Yi had a headache and gently kneaded his temples, "I don't want to listen to anything about asking Lieutenant Tian to go to the barracks to offer condolences, that will only make things worse, I want things to settle down." Yu Xiangguo, what can you do? ”
Yu Cong is not only the uncle of today's son, but also the brother of Li Jing's teacher Yu Cong, at this time, his position is more fair.
Things can't be simpler, it's just other people complicating things. Li Jing's assassination implicated Tian Lingzi, causing Ximen Sigong and others to also attack Tian Lingzi, and similarly, the political affairs hall influenced by the great eunuchs in the palace was also implicated in this matter. The interests of all parties are entangled, how can a fair solution be truly made?
"Returning to His Majesty, the minister thought that the first priority at the moment was to send the imperial doctor to the camp outside the city to treat Li Jing. If Li Jing didn't have anything to do, the Zhenguo Army would naturally have him to control it. The second thing is to immediately close the gate of Chang'an City and strengthen the vigilance, just in case. Third, an immediate order was issued to reward and appease the soldiers outside the city. Fourth, an order was issued to the other town commanders, so that they could be temporarily separated from the camp of the Zhenguo army, and be prepared for vigilance. ”
Tian Lingzi was also relieved to hear that Yu Cong did not take the opportunity to fall into the well at this time.
However, Zheng Zheng and the others were obviously unwilling to let go of Tian Lingzi so easily, this was a rare opportunity.
"Tens of thousands of soldiers are rewarded, which is not easy to say. At present, the treasury is empty, and the soldiers are not satisfied with the reward, and the treasury cannot come up with any money. Zheng replied immediately.
Lu Xian immediately looked at Tian Lingzi, at this time, he had to get through this difficulty with some blood first.
As soon as Tian Lingzi saw that everyone wanted him to pay for the money, how could he do it. Twenty thousand troops, how much money does it take to calm down?
"Your Majesty, that assassin was not sent by the old slave at all, and the old slave was also wronged. The old Chen family is all gone, why is there no one to speak up for the old slave. ”
Zheng Jin snorted coldly: "Why is the old Chen family dead, Chen Jingxuan has not been in the capital for a long time, how many rooms has this little concubine accepted?" I've heard that there are more than a dozen boys and eight boys, right? ”
Tian Lingzi took out the jade box and unfolded it again, crying to Li Yi and complaining that Li Jing had made his family die.
Zheng Zhen and Yu Cong all looked strange, and even Lu Xian had a pale.
"Father-in-law Tian, when did you receive this thing?" Yu Cong asked.
"It wasn't long ago."
Zheng Zheng sneered: "Did Father-in-law Tian go back to Chen's Mansion after receiving this gift?" ”
Tian Lingzi didn't know what they meant, and was stunned for a moment.
Lu Xian patted his forehead, and had to explain on the side. "Tian Gong is afraid that there is some misunderstanding in this matter, I just entered the palace, and I saw Chen Jingxuan outside the palace, looking at his appearance, it is not the appearance of losing the baby."
As soon as these words came out, even Li Yi was stunned.
Immediately, Li Yi asked Chen Jingxuan to be introduced into the palace, and after a while, Chen Jingxuan arrived, and he really didn't look like he had just been sinned. Tian Lingzi hurriedly stepped forward: "Second brother, are you okay?" ”
Chen Jingxuan's words came to his lips, but he looked at the people in the hall and held back, and said laterally: "What is the matter with me, nothing is wrong." ”
Tian Lingzi stretched out his hand and went directly to his second brother's crotch, and sure enough, he was still there. couldn't help but change color, "What about the eight nephews?" ”
"It's okay." Chen Jingxuan held back, and still said with his neck in the end.
Everyone listened to his conversation, and Li Yi couldn't help but get angry, and slapped the table, "Tian Lingzi, how do you explain it to me?" ”
Tian Lingzi's heart was in a mess, he was confused now, why are the brothers and nephews all fine, so the box is just a joke? Or is this a warning from Coco Li? But Li Jing's assassination, what's going on?
He was still in a mush, but Li Yi was already angry. After a long time, Tian Lingzi was actually joking with him? Just now, he felt that after Li Jing wiped out Tian Lingzi's whole family, his heart was inclined to Tian Lingzi's side. But now, Li Jing was really assassinated twice, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but Tian Lingzi was still deceiving him by saying these shoddy lies at this time.
"I have decided that Lieutenant Tian is inescapable of taking responsibility for this matter. Now, you immediately take out two million yuan and personally send it to the Zhenguo military camp outside the city, and apologize to the Zhenguo army and Li Jing, no matter what, you must personally settle this matter. You'd better hope that Li Jing can wake up, otherwise, if the Zhenguo Army makes a little trouble, I am the only one who asks. The little emperor felt a burst of anger at this time, it was the extreme anger after being deceived, this anger even made him not even care about the intimate relationship between the two, the previous father, now named by name.
After saying this, Li Yi flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out of Yanying Hall directly, leaving only Tian Lingzi, who was stunned and hesitant, and sat on the ground. (To be continued......)
