The rain stopped and fell, the sky was overcast, the sun was not seen for most of the month, and the whole air was cold and damp. It's only August, but it's already cold. Especially at night, hugging the damp quilt can make most people sleep restlessly in the middle of the night.

Early in the morning, Julie, the deputy general of the Furious Waves Fleet stationed in the Da Xie Islands, came to the town of Shamen and brought people that Li Jing did not want to see at this time. "This is an angel from Chang'an, saying that the Son of Heaven has a will to give it to you!" Julie said in her usual cold tone. Li Jing, who was deliberating, and Zhang Chengye, the military supervisor, glanced at each other, and had almost guessed what the envoy of Chang'an was going to issue.

If nothing else, it must be a matter of letting him send troops to deal with Li Keyong or Wang Ying's rebels.

"Let's go, let's meet the angels together!" Li Jing's face was calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at this time.

As soon as I went out, I happened to see a group of people standing in front of the wolf stone statue outside the mansion, which was originally a green wolf stone statue. However, after Li Jing was promoted to the position of Dengzhou Thorn History, Zhendong County Prince, Anton Protector, Champion General, and Zhendong Military Envoy, Zhang Hong took the initiative to find a group of stonemasons with better craftsmanship, and replaced the green wolf with a wolf with wings. And compared to the previous one-zhang tall green wolf stone statue, this new wolf stone statue is three zhang high, and the location has also been moved from the gate of the house to the small square in front of the house. The small square was also expanded after the demolition of some of the surrounding houses.

Houses around the province were demolished. Converted into a square. In the words of the generals. This is also to increase Li Jing's safety. Let the front of the house have an open view, which can effectively prevent assassins and other situations. And the three-zhang tall giant Sirius stone statue standing in the square, the rest is not just a stone statue.

This winged wolf made of marble is actually a hidden fortress. The inside is hollow and divided into three layers. That day, the wolf's mouth, eyes, and nostrils were all arrow holes. The Celestial Wolf Fortress has three floors above ground and two floors underground. And there is a tunnel that leads directly to the General's Mansion. The fortress was classified and was usually guarded by Li Jing's guard battalion. The entry and exit are through the tunnel, and outsiders do not know.

According to Zhang Hong and others, this is just in case. If it weren't for the official dragon and tiger, Zhang Hong would have directly left the two fortresses of the green dragon and the right white tiger. However, even if it is changed to a wolf, this three-foot-tall giant winged wolf stands in front of the mansion, and it is still full of deterrent power.

Right now, this group of envoys from Chang'an are all looking around this huge winged wolf, and their mouths are full of exclamation.

There were about 100 people in this group, and among them was a purple robe. The old man with gray hair looked like the head of this line-up. Next to him. There were also two middle-aged eunuchs in vermilion robes, eight yellow-clothed eunuchs behind them, and then about a hundred majestic soldiers wearing armor. Li Jing looked at the exquisite and gorgeous armor of these people, the Bushuo in their hands, and the horizontal knives on their waists, and guessed that these people might be the Divine Forbidden Army. Although these people are well equipped and strong, they lack a fierce spirit. It obviously has a bit of a silver-like wax tip taste.

It was the old man in the purple robe who looked forward to a terrifying look. While Li Jing looked at him, the old man also looked at Li Jing, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Li Jing was about to step forward, but Zhang Chengye next to him suddenly took a few steps, knelt down in front of the old man, and said respectfully: "Why did the father-in-law come to Dengzhou in person, and he didn't notify the child in advance, so the child could go to the road to greet him in person." ”

The old man smiled and helped Zhang Chengye up, and said gently: "Although we are over fifty years old, our bodies are still strong." What's more, His Majesty is still short of a hundred divine army escorts, how can there be anything. ”

Li Jing only learned at this time that this old man was Zhang Chengye's adoptive father Zhang Tai, and now he is the official of the right prison guard gate Zhenjun, and he is also a powerful eunuch in the palace. And it looks like his relationship with Zhang Chengye is really good.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the most powerful eunuchs in the history of the Tang Dynasty, like the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, formed a family of eunuchs in the palace. The eunuchs could not have children, but by adopting the little eunuchs who entered the palace, they finally reached an adoption relationship, and then joined into families.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the top eunuch families in Chang'an Palace were the Qiu family of the great eunuch Qiu Shiliang, the Liang family of Liang Shouqian, the Yang family of Yang Fugong, and the Ximen family of Ximen Sigong.

These four families are also known as the four powerful eunuch families in the palace, and for several generations, they have been holding the important positions of the left and right privy council envoys and the left and right Shence lieutenants, known as the four nobles, so as to control the government.

For example, Tian Lingzi, a powerful eunuch now, in fact, after entering the palace in the early years, when the eunuch Tian who worshiped him was a righteous child, the eunuch Lao Tian was just a small eunuch head. Therefore, Tian Lingzi once climbed to the official position of raising horses at the highest level for a long time. Later, with his close relationship with the emperor, Tian Lingzi relied on uniting the great eunuch Ximen Sigong in the palace to defeat Yang Fugong, the lieutenant of Shence, and finally sat in the position of the first eunuch.

And Zhang Tai, although he is now serving as the actual guard of the right prison, is still far behind the positions of the left and right privy council envoys and the left and right lieutenants, as well as the six armies and the twelve guards and military envoys.

In today's palace, Tian Lingzi is the biggest eunuch, and Ximen Sigong is also extremely powerful, although Yang Fugong was jointly suppressed, but he is also very powerful. Zhang Tai, who was originally just a regular servant, also took advantage of the light of Li Jing and his adopted son Zhang Chengye to suddenly rise to the position of the general of the right prison gate.

The eunuchs are powerful in the palace, but they are also actively cultivating their own power outside the palace. For example, the current Prime Minister of the DPRK, Lu Xi, is actually Tian Lingzi's person. And Prime Minister Zheng Jin, who has always been at odds with Lu Xian, is Ximen Sigong's person. When Zheng Jin's father, Zheng Ya, was the Guiguan Observation Envoy, Ximen Sigong was the Supervisor of the Army. Later, Zheng Ya died early, and Ximen Sigong bothered to find Zheng Zi, raise him in the house, and treat him like a nephew. And when Zheng Zheng was eighteen years old, he helped Zheng Jin to obtain the position of Jinshi, creating a record of young Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Tai is not from a family of eunuchs in the palace, and he does not have any firm allies and backers in the court, and only the current Zhendong military envoy Li Jing can be regarded as his strong ally.

Without waiting for Li Jing to step forward, Zhang Tai, who had helped Zhang Chengye, had already taken the initiative to take a few steps forward, took Li Jing's hand and said with a smile: "Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, Lang Lang's heroic posture, this must be the mighty Ziqing, the rebel Wang Jingwu who defeated the rebel Wang Jingwu in a battle on the bank of the Zishui River, and now he has recovered the land of southern Liaoning in one fell swoop. Although we are far away in Chang'an Palace, we have heard the prestige of Yong Saburo several times. In the palace, even the emperor praised the general's courage several times, and sighed several times that he couldn't immediately summon the general to Beijing. ”

Li Jing smiled slightly: "Li Jing has seen the general, he is late to greet him, and he asks for forgiveness." ”

"Chengye is my righteous son, Ji Yunai is the assistant official of Chengye, why do you and I need to be so polite." While speaking, he still held Li Jing's hand and refused to let go. Li Jing is so enthusiastic about Zhang Tai, but he has no objection. Zhang Tai is not only Zhang Chengye's father-in-law, but also a big eunuch in the palace. Now that he has turned his face with Tian Lingzi, it is good to have a backup in the palace.

Zhang Chengye beckoned several other eunuchs and a group of Shence soldiers in the back, and he also knew that although these people were little ghosts, they could not be offended. Therefore, after greeting into the house, he immediately gave each person ten taels of silver collars. As soon as he came, he received such a generous gift, and all the soldiers of the Shence Army and those eunuchs sat down to drink tea and rest with great satisfaction.

Entering the hall, Zhang Tai let go of Li Jing's hand and said, "We are here to announce the decree this time, so let's put an incense case first to welcome the holy decree!" ”

Li Jing ordered people to put incense on the table, and called the generals and civil officials of Shamen Town to come and listen to the order.

After everyone knelt down, Zhang Tai took out a yellow silk holy decree from a box, turned his back to the north and faced south, and read it out loud: "Zhendong County Prince, Champion General, General Jinwu, Zhendong Military Envoy, Dengzhou Assassin History, and Anton all protect Li Jing to listen to the order!" ”

"Minister Li Jing listens to the order!"

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered this, and Li Jing accepted the order!"

"Li Jing received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Li Jing stepped forward to receive the holy decree with both hands.

After the ceremony, Zhang Tai took Li Jing's hand and said, "This matter is completely Lieutenant Tian's slander to the emperor. We also made a suggestion to His Majesty, and we wanted to stop it, but our family is not as good as Lieutenant Tian. ”

Li Jing was silent, the holy decree brought by Zhang Tai was the same as Li Jing expected, and even exceeded his expectations. Tian Lingzi made a statement to the emperor and asked the Zhendong army to divide into two routes, one of which crossed the border from Youzhou, and flew along the Sanggan River to enter Ulzhou, the defense envoy of Datong in Hedong, to attack Li Keyong. For this reason, in the holy decree, Li Jing was also specially given an official position as the commander of the eastern camp. Not only that, but in the holy decree, Li Jing also transferred the naval fleet of the Zhendong Army and a part of the horse infantry to go to eastern Zhejiang and western Zhejiang to quell Wang Ying's rebellion, and added a unified position to Li Jing to crusade against Wang Ying's northern camp.

Datong is in the northwest of Dengzhou, and eastern Zhejiang is in the southeast of Dengzhou, and the two places are thousands of miles apart. Now he actually wants to transfer Li Jing's troops to send troops to two routes, and send troops to the south and the north at the same time. What made him laugh even more was that Tian Lingzi actually added him the position of commander of two camps in the south and the north. He Li Jing is not three-headed and six-armed, and he doesn't know how to doppelgänger. How to command both battles at the same time.

Tian Lingzi, sure enough, those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming. (To be continued......)
