"His Majesty."
The high-spirited Lu Xie waved the memorial in his hand, "General Zuo Jin Wuwei, camped in the river to recruit envoys, governor of Bianzhou, Xuanwu Army Jiedushi Li Yunze has a memorial to write!"
It was a difficult time for Lu Xie in Chang'an City. As Li Yunze's spokesperson, many people made trouble for him.
After all, Li Yunze had done many things in Chang'an City and usurped the interests of many people.
They did not dare to cause trouble for Li Yunze, who had military power, so they would naturally find trouble for Lu Xie, his spokesperson in the DPRK.
However, when the news came that Li Yunze had defeated the main forces of the Tianping Army and the Taining Army one after another, these people immediately stopped.
The reason is simple. Li Yunze showed his muscle power to the whole world!
Facing this power, most people don't like it, such as a certain expressionless emperor on the dragon throne.
The dark-faced Li Xuan didn't want to hear what Li Yunze said, but he had to listen. After all, he was not a person like Taizong Gaozong.
"Say it."
"...Zhu Xuan is tyrannical, Zhu Jin is unethical, and is good at starting wars... He colludes with the court's female ministers, please make the decision for me... The female ministers don't go, your majesty is deceived, and I should fight. Entering the pass, King Qin Yiqingjun is on his side..."
There is not much to say in the memorial, except that Li Yunze won the battle and then began to settle the scores.
Local opponents naturally have soldiers and horses under their command to settle scores, but for the unlucky ones in the court, the emperor and eunuchs have to take action.
After reading the memorial, Lu Xie looked at Prime Minister Zheng Tian with a stern look, and everyone in the hall also looked at Zheng Tian.
You must know that it was this prime minister who ordered the crusade against the Xuanwu Army.
Zheng Tian, who had no expression on his face, straightened his clothes, stepped out of the queue and saluted Li Xuan respectfully, "I beg for his bones."
The crusade against Li Yunze was initiated by Emperor Li Xuan.
But Li Zhen himself did not have the courage to admit it, and he was unwilling to take the blame, so the person who took the blame became Zheng Tian.
If the Xuanwu Army is destroyed, then everything will be easy.
But Xuanwu's army not only won a complete victory, but also threatened to invade King Qin of Guan...
The imperial court did not dare to allow the Xuanwu Army to enter Chang'an City again. Could it be possible that the emperor would make another western tour and go to Chengdu?
By this era, the authority of the imperial court had long been lost, and only the so-called Shence Army was left in its hands. And the Shence Army was a piece of mud that could not hold up the wall. When faced with the threat of a powerful vassal, it could only choose to compromise.
At this time, seeing Zheng Tian taking the blame so clearly, Li Xuan and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xuan didn't even follow the most basic court etiquette, and accepted Zheng Tian's resignation without any reservations.
Seeing Zheng Tian leaving the Daming Palace step by step, everyone in the court felt sad.
A memorial from the local vassal town can make the prime minister of the DPRK and the Central Government retire in despair.
This Tang Dynasty... is about to die.
The scapegoat was finally thrown away. Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to retreat to the court to fight the dog, but Lu Xie came out to salute again, "Your Majesty, the imperial court has ordered a crusade against the Xuanwu Army. Li Jiedu is very unhappy. "
Li Xuan was stunned. "Isn't Zheng Tian dismissed from office? Isn't he still angry? Why not send him to Bianzhou and let him deal with it?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became gloomy.
All the officials lowered their heads one after another, but that substantive dissatisfaction enveloped the entire Daming Palace.
Today, Zheng Tian can be left to his own devices, but tomorrow it will be my turn to wait?
Li Zhen didn't understand this, but Tian Lingzi beside him knew it very well.
Eunuch Tian Da hurriedly stepped forward, tugged on Li Zhan's sleeve, and signaled him to stop talking.
Lu Xie below also sighed secretly.
How can such a useless emperor make people loyal to him? If Taizong had known about it, he would have dug this unworthy descendant out of the Zhaoling Mausoleum and killed him alive.
As the old saying goes, "The king treats his ministers like grass and grass, and his ministers regard him as a bandit!"
The emperor is so cold to the hearts of the ministers, so great
The ministers will not sacrifice their lives for the emperor!
Tian Lingzi asked on behalf of Li Xuan, and asked very simply, "What does Li Jiedu want?"
"Why did Privy Tian say this?" Lu Xie's acting skills were perfect, with a look of astonishment on his face. "Li Jiedu just eliminated female ministers for the imperial court. I'm afraid Privy Tian's words are inappropriate."
Although Tian Lingzi was an eunuch, he still had an official position.
His official position is that of Privy Councilor.
Theoretically, all warriors in the world are under his control. Of course, this is only theoretical.
Compared to the useless emperor, Tian Lingzi knows much better.
He stopped talking nonsense and said after thinking for a while, "Li Jiedu worked hard and made great achievements. Your Majesty made him a Situ of the Inspection School, Tongping Zhangshi. He was made a Marquis of Pei County, and he was given the title of a thousand households in the city."
Datang's bosses are now worthless, and Tian Lingzi doesn't feel bad about throwing them out.
Anyway, it's just a good name. If you want real power, you still have to fight with your fists.
Lu Xie smiled and said nothing. It was too boring to talk about such a small gain.
Although Tian Lingzi is said to be a powerful official, he is helpless when facing powerful local vassals.
After all, eunuchs can command the Shence Army through food and salary. Under the blade of the Shence Army, ministers in the court can be replaced at will, and even the emperor can support them at will.
But the problem is that the Shence Army can only show its prestige in Chang'an City.
Once they leave Chang'an City, the warriors under the command of the Jiedu Envoys from various places can beat them to pieces.
The Shence Army was so bad that even Li Yunze abandoned most of the Shence Army when he went to Bianzhou to take office.
The soldiers and horses are not strong, so naturally they are not qualified to speak loudly.
When faced with Li Yunze, who was speaking loudly, Tian Lingzi could only cautiously ask, "If you need anything, please speak up."
Lu Xie nodded with satisfaction, he no longer had to be angry with these eunuchs!
Although he had been prime minister in the past, he was suppressed by a group of eunuchs and couldn't breathe. He had long been fed up with the cowardice.
Now he turned around and hugged a hairy thigh, and he immediately became the eunuch who was getting angry with him. This feeling was really great.
Lu Xie, who was smiling but not smiling, finally gave the price after a good display of authority.
"Zhu Xuan, the military commander of the Tianping Army, and Zhu Jin, the military commander of the Taining Army, brought disaster to the country and the people. Their crimes are unpardonable... They should be punished as treason..."
Li Yunze's request was not complicated. The first one was to characterize the war between himself and brothers Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin.
Of course, he is righteous on his side, while brothers Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin are rebellious.
If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct.
Don't underestimate it, it is very important in this era.
"It's easy." Tian Lingzi accepted without any hesitation.
The Zhu family brothers are all gone, and no one will complain for them. They can just throw the blame on them.
Lu Xian then made a new request: "Brothers Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin still have many accomplices. The imperial court immediately ordered Li Jiedu to severely punish them."
No specific names were mentioned, which is very intriguing.
Because this is a basket, whoever you want can be put into it in the future.
No matter who Li Yunze wants to beat, he can just take out this basket and say that he is a traitor who conspired with the Zhu brothers, and he will naturally gain the status of righteousness.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
If you fall into the basket, you basically can't get out.
It's a pity that Li Yunze wants more than just this.
Lu Xie slowly shook his head, "Li Jiedu said he wouldn't allow it."
Tian Lingzi's brows deepened, "How about choosing a few people?"
Lu Xie was still shaking his head, "No!"
Tian Lingzi sighed, "Li Jiedu is not afraid of the imperial court's order, and all the vassal towns in the world will attack together?"
Lu Xie smiled, shook his head with a smile and said, "Li Jiedu has something to say, it's just a matter of approval or disapproval."
Tian Lingzi said that he called on all the feudal lords to attack Li Yunze, but that was just a bargaining price.
Maybe there will really be a few vassal towns listening to the order, but it's just a few.
If all the dozens of vassal towns in the world could obey the orders of the imperial court, there would be no chance for Li Yunze to appear. Even Huang Chao and Wang Xianzhi would have to work at home honestly.
This world is no longer the world of the imperial court.
While Tian Lingzi was still struggling, Li Zhen, who couldn't figure out the situation, was already impatient. "Have you finished talking? We'll leave after talking. I'm very busy. If he wants to fight the rebels, then just fight him. If you have the ability, let's go." All the vassal towns in the world have been leveled!"
Well, busy with dog fighting.
Tian Lingzi smiled bitterly. The emperor himself didn't care. He, an eunuch, was too impatient.
This is really true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is.
Faced with the threat of Chi Guoguo, the eunuch group that really controlled the government had to hand over the unlimited power of fire to Li Yunze.
This is the result of strength being king.
Li Yunze's fist was big enough that the court had to give him whatever he wanted.
In this world where warriors rule the country, this is the way it is.
Of course, there are still three pounds of nails in a rotten ship. Even if the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty is in decline, it still has some foundation.
Tian Lingzi and others were unwilling to accept Li Yunze's pressure and coercion, so they naturally resorted to secret methods.
His method is not complicated, it is to support Li Yunze's opponents.
The first one was Zhu Quanzhong, who acted very loyally. Not only did he expand the scope of his jurisdiction, but he also gave him the power to act expediently in the North.
Furthermore, the Tang court once again began to play with traditional skills and reuse foreigners.
The target they chose was Li Keyong, the boss of the Shatuo people.
Li Keyong, who had rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, was appointed as the governor of Hedong, giving the Shatuo people the territory, wealth, population and righteousness.
This kind of operation was a routine method in Datang, and everyone was already accustomed to it.
But for Li Yunze, it was unacceptable.
In response, Li Yunze immediately went to the table and requested that Zhu Wen and Zhu Quanzhong be appointed as the acting general manager of the northbound camp, so as to clear Li Keyong's escape path!
