"Li Jing, this is the heir of my Chen family!" Tian Lingzi cried, crying very sadly. "My family has been poor since childhood, and there are four brothers, but the family cannot support them. The eldest brother and the fourth brother died one after another, and the slave had to enter the palace as a last resort, leaving only the second brother in the Chen family. Seeing that the second brother married a wife and had children, spread out and have eight men, the old slave was overjoyed, and the Chen family finally passed on the ancestry. ”
In the miserable white daylight, the nine life roots in the jade box shrank into several ugly shapes, exuding bursts of fishy stench. If it weren't for the few notes pasted on it, with a personal name written on it, it would be hard to imagine.
Li Yi was still wearing a set of hip pleats and six-fold boots for walking horses, and he couldn't help frowning when he listened to Tian Lingzi's heart-rending dry howl. The young Son of Heaven actually wanted to laugh very much, and secretly thought that the country was too ugly. On the other hand, he began to wonder who had such courage. He was so ruthless. dared to cut off all the crotches of the Tian Lingzi brothers, father and son.
He guessed. Maybe it was done by Aiqing, who had not yet met.
When he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
Tian Lingzi is a close minister and old minister around him, so he naturally didn't say anything to him, he was impatient with political affairs, and he was handed over to take care of it, so he could be so relaxed. However, Li Jing is also good, not only often donating, but also paying tribute to money, food and all kinds of new things. And this is still a talented and capable person. Although he stayed in the ninefold, he could often hear about Li Jing, he governed Dengzhou very well, the road was not forgotten, the door was not closed at night, and there were even no beggars in Dengzhou, everyone had food to eat and clothes to wear. And he can also lead the war, exterminate the pirates, and the novice rebellion. Not good for the past.
There are close ministers like Uchida Lingzi, and there are capable ministers like Li Jing outside. What a nice thing it would have been. Why are these two people so unhappy?
He had already sent a message to Li Jing, saying that after he entered Chang'an, he would let Tian Lingzi personally hold a banquet to apologize to him for his mistake, why Li Jing just refused to let go.
"The second brother has been selling cakes in Xuzhou for a living and serving his parents in the family." Tian Lingzi continued to cry, "Right now, with the grace of His Majesty, I finally entered Beijing, and this day is about to get better, but something like this happened. Your Majesty, Li Jing is so ruthless, Your Majesty must be the master of the old slave. ”
Li Yi didn't sleep well last night, and as soon as he came back from walking his horse in the morning, he was pulled by Tian Lingzi and cried, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient. "If you don't provoke Li Jing first, how can Li Jing retaliate? Besides, at the moment, we can't just say that Li Jing did it. ”
"Besides Li Jing, who else could this be?"
"How can you be sure without evidence? Li Jing is also a town marshal, a dignified founding father, father, don't misunderstand again. Li Yi closed the jade box with some disgust, out of sight. He knew very well in his heart that there would be no one else but Li Jing who could do such a thing. However, Tian Lingzi had previously mobilized the Shence army to besiege Li Jing, and he asked Li Jing not to pursue it. Now, Li Jing has taken revenge, although he is unhappy, he can't just ask Li Jing for his guilt. Tian Lingpet is his favorite minister. But Li Jing is also a capable minister he relies on. Although he doesn't care about political affairs, he also knows that a courtier like Li Jing still can't ask about the guilt casually.
"It's like this, let's stop here, when is the time for retribution, you are all my ministers of the humerus, the pillars of the country, I hope you can live in harmony with each other." Li Yi turned around and saw that the three ministers of the interior, Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong and Zhang Tai, had arrived, and he directly ended the matter. "That's the end of the matter, Father will go to Chen's Mansion first to deal with the aftermath."
"Your Majesty, this matter can't just be settled, Li Jing is making my Chen family the last place!" Tian Lingzi didn't expect that the Son of Heaven would actually reply like this, which made him very sad, really sad, and tears kept flowing. is not only sad for the heir of the Chen family, but also sad for the cold attitude of the Son of Heaven. He felt that today's attitude towards him was no longer as intimate as before.
"I have a verdict." Li Yi replied, and then turned directly to Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong, and Zhang Tai, who had just arrived, and said, "You are in a hurry, what is the matter?" ”
Ximen Sigong and Yang Fugong are both from a family of eunuchs in the palace, and their adoptive fathers have served as lieutenants of the Shence Army, Privy Council Envoys, and envoys of the Sixth Army and the Twelve Guards of the Army, etc., Ximen Sigong and Yang Fugong have also served as lieutenants of the Shence Army, but later Tian Lingzi ascended from a pony envoy and suppressed them all, so they are all Tian Lingzi's opponents in the palace.
Zhang Tai stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good. Last night, the prime ministers went to the triumphant military camp outside the city to comfort the soldiers, and Li Jing, the commander of the Zhenguo Army, was assassinated by assassins after the banquet, and is now unconscious and in critical condition. Zhang Tai said as he looked at Tian Lingzi.
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to Tian Lingzi for the first time.
Tian Lingzi was also stunned when he heard it, Li Jing was seriously injured by the stab? But he didn't send someone to assassinate Li Jing at all, what the hell is going on.
"Your Majesty, this really has nothing to do with the old slave." Tian Lingzi hurriedly explained, but unfortunately no one believed in this explanation.
Li Yi glared at Tian Lingzi angrily, this old guy is really getting more and more messy. Usually, the price is clearly marked, and the reward of the imperial court's purple and scarlet is just bought and sold. often connived at the palace envoys to buy and sell on the street, and he also turned a blind eye, after all, most of the money was brought for him to play and spend. But now, he told him several times not to embarrass Li Jing again, why didn't he listen.
"How's Lee Jin-kook doing?" Li Yi asked.
Zhang Tai replied: "The injury was very serious, and the assassin pierced Li Zhenguo under the left rib with a sword, and he almost took the heart by a fraction of a second. Although he did not hurt his heart, the assassin's sword was smeared with great poison, and Li Zhenguo was still unconscious. ”
"Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" Li Yi was also shocked.
Ximen Sigong said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, in addition to rescuing Li Zhenguo, there is also one of the most important things now. ”
"What's the matter?"
Yang Fugong looked at Tian Lingzi, and there was a trace of schadenfreude in his eyes.
According to the female assassin, she was originally a member of the royal family, but because her family was threatened by Lieutenant Tian, she was forced to obey Lieutenant Tian's orders. This assassination was Lieutenant Tan's threat to her with the lives of his family. ”
Li Yi gritted his teeth, and he didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty, this matter is now well known to the triumphant soldiers outside the city. First, Li Zhenguo was besieged in Gaoling City, and now under Chang'an City, such an assassination happened, and the soldiers of the towns in the camp outside the city were indignant. Now the whole camp is like cooking oil on fire, and if you are not careful, it will be difficult to control. ”
Datang has always had no shortage of arrogant soldiers, especially since Dezong, military changes are commonplace. Now there are 34,000 soldiers and horses in the eight towns and three tribes under Chang'an City, of which 20,000 horses are soldiers and horses of the Zhenguo army. The Zhenguo Army has just been wiped out by the powerful Shatuo soldiers in Hedong, and if the 20,000 troops of the Zhenguo Army mutinied, it would be really difficult to clean up.
As soon as Li Yi thought of the Jingyuan mutiny, his heart couldn't help but tremble. The mutiny during the time of Dezong was only 5,000 Jingyuan soldiers. But because when passing through Chang'an, the rewards issued by the emperor and Jing Zhaoyin were not rich enough, and these arrogant soldiers rebelled. So he beat the drum and shouted, invaded the capital, and changed the army to capture the imperial capital Chang'an; Emperor Dezong fled to Mukden in a hurry, and the emperor was surrounded by the mutant army for more than a month, which was known as the difficulty of Mukden in history.
Could it be that he is also going to face a mutiny in the imperial capital?
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but shudder. Although the Son of Heaven is young, he also knows the importance of this matter.
At that moment, he was already a little anxious and asked, "What should I do about this?" ”
Ximen Sigong looked directly at Tian Lingzi: "Your Majesty, according to the minister, this bell must be tied to the bell." At present, the military camp outside the city is angry, and if one is not good, it may cause chaos. The origin of this incident is still because Lieutenant Tian repeatedly assassinated the country's cadres, which caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers. In the final analysis, this matter was provoked by Lieutenant Tan. At the moment, the soldiers are emotional, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for others to persuade them. I still ask the saint to make an order for Lieutenant Tian to personally go to the camp and explain the matter to the officers and men of the army. ”
Tian Lingzi was startled, and a cool breath rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
No matter what the assassination was going on now, he had already seen that the old eunuchs Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong and Zhang Tai were preparing to borrow a knife to kill people. As they said, in the current situation, the big battalion is a group of angry generals, and if he goes at this time, it will not be a sheep into the wolves, and there will be no return. It is estimated that as soon as he is sent to the door, he will immediately be torn to pieces by the angry Zhenguo army.
"Your Majesty, I was wronged, obviously it was Li Jing's personal revenge, and I was the queen of the Chen family. Your Majesty, please look at the old slave's many years of service to Your Majesty, even if there is no merit, there is hard work. With that, Tian Lingzi knelt down directly and hugged Li Yi's thigh.
Li Yi was a little moved by what Tian Lingzi said, after all, the relationship has been there for many years. When Ximen Sigong saw that the situation was not good, he immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, state affairs are important, and Li Tang Jiangshan and Sheji are important!" ”
Yang Fugong and Zhang Tai were also ruthless at this time, and they knelt down one after another to explain to Li Yi.
For a moment, Li Yi stood on the spot, surrounded by the four eunuch leaders, with a cloudy and uncertain face. (To be continued......)
