Chapter 18 Eunuch Tian Lingzi 1
Each dynasty has its own lifespan, and the class struggle has already begun since the establishment of the dynasty.
The wind and waves in Yishan are calm, and the waves outside Yishan are continuous. Guo Tian followed his husband to study every day and worked hard for the imperial examination.
On the side of the imperial court, because of the Huangchao rebellion, Tang Xizong, who fled to CD, prepared to return to the court.
After the Huangchao Rebellion was quelled, Tang Xizong no longer used the Zhonghe era name, but changed to the Guangqi era name, hoping that the Tang Dynasty could restart the glorious era.
"Father, it's been four years, and finally we can go back to Chang'an again, I'm really tired and don't want to toss."
When Tang Xizong Luanjia set off, he was full of emotion, and he hurriedly escaped from Chang'an four years ago, and only brought out a few princes of the clan to take refuge, and most of the court officials were left in Chang'an.
After Huang Chao invaded Chang'an, he believed that many officials were corrupt officials, and in order to win the support of the people, he killed most of the officials and quickly promoted a group of officials who surrendered.
As a result, the officials who remained in Chang'an were killed and wounded, and the remaining part were also disappointed in the emperor and lost confidence in the Tang Dynasty.
"Father, do you think that the courtiers of Nansi will hate me, I didn't take them away with me, leaving them to suffer."
Tang Xizong thought that he had fled in a hurry, so he didn't greet the ministers, nor did he take a minister with him. I always feel sorry for the ministers and want to compensate them, but I can't say it, which is a loss of the majesty of the monarch.
"Your Majesty, the reason why you didn't bring the ministers with you is also a last resort. The rebellion of the Yellow Head Army is about to reach Chang'an, how can the dragon body be threatened. ”
The eunuch Tian Lingzi comforted Tang Xizong, who was in a complicated mood, beside the Luan frame. This emperor who grew up by himself and brought it out single-handedly is similar to his own child, and every time he encounters a problem, he comforts him by himself.
Tang Xizong ascended the throne at the age of 12, the youngest emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the child emperor who was held by the eunuch Tian Lingzi and others. Tang Xizong thanked Tian Lingzi for supporting himself as the emperor, plus taking care of his daily life, and was emotionally dependent on him, so he called him "Father", and was named a lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army after ascending the throne.
"Father, I always feel sorry for them, allowing the ministers to be slaughtered by the yellow thieves. I'm so uneasy! ”
Tang Xizong, who was indecisive by nature, wanted to return to Chang'an day and night, enjoy his leisure to watch polo, cockfights, etc., or prostitute himself in the harem.
But when it came to the moment of leaving for Chang'an, he was a little repulsed in his heart, he was afraid that the ministers would hate him and hate him as the runaway emperor.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are under the emperor's grace, and they don't want Your Majesty to be threatened by the yellow thief, they will understand your distress. Your dragon body is the most important thing, as long as you are still there, our Datang will still be the same, and the rebels will be wiped out. ”
After all, the Huangchao rebellion was put down, and this rebellion was also a return to the Tang Dynasty, and the dying twilight body will finally come to an end.
……
"Father-in-law Tian, how can I trouble you to come to me all the time, just let someone give me an order if there is anything."
After Tang Xizong set off from Luanjia, Tian Lingzi found Lin Tang, the protector of Zuo Shence's army, and wanted him to return to Chang'an first, and arranged for the people to create a scene to welcome Tang Xizong's return to the dynasty, which has comforted Tang Xizong. Arrange some celebrations so that Tang Xizong can be happy and no longer sad because of the westward escape.
"Your Majesty is a little unhappy, you go back to Chang'an early, arrange some celebrations and entertainment, and then go to the people to find some Mei Dai to serve Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can get rid of your troubles as soon as possible."
"Father-in-law Tian, don't worry, I promise that the things you have always explained, I promise to complete them beautifully. I hope that there will be such a good thing in the future, and you will take care of me a lot when you are old. ”
As he spoke, Lin Tang lowered his hand and stuffed a house deed into Tian Lingzi's hand, which was Lin Tang's property under the CD Mansion.
"You kid, what are you doing here?"
Tian Lingzi pretended to be unhappy and trained Lin Tang, but in fact, he felt that this Lin Tang was really sensible, and he would be promoted more in the future.
"You can take it, this is a little bit of a little heart, Grandpa Tian, I'll set off. Do you have anything else to explain? ”
Lin Tang nodded and walked on Tian Lingzi's side, carefully accompanying Tian Lingzi and accompanying the real "ruler" of the imperial court. Serve this big man well, and he will be prosperous and prosperous in the future, which is an opportunity that many people can't envy.
"It's nothing, this is my warrant, you take it, it can come in handy."
Tian Lingzi turned around and took out his copper warrant from his cuff and threw it to Lin Tang, who carefully caught it, as if he had received a holy decree, feeling that he now had "great responsibilities" and "great rights".
"Do a good job, do it well, and I'll ask Your Majesty for credit when I go back. Go ahead! ”
Tian Lingzi drew a big cake for Lin Tang, and let him go back to Chang'an first to arrange the "entertainment" activities that Tang Xizong liked.
……
After arranging for people to return to Chang'an to prepare for Tang Xizong's return to the court, Tian Lingzi discussed with his think tank how to reward the meritorious people who put down the rebellion this time.
This time, Li Keyong, who suppressed the rebellion in Shatuo, and Zhu Wen, one was named the king of Longxi County, and the other was the Marquis of Pei County.
These two people are the prominent representatives of the princes and envoys of the Jiedu, and the feudal officials hold real power, and they will not be willing to obey their own dispatches. This gave Tian Lingzi a headache, how to eliminate their threat became a big matter in Tian Lingzi's heart.
"Hua Ning, you said that after this rebellion, how can you make Li Keyong, Zhu Wen, and Wang Chongrong obey the orders of the imperial court, and they can't let these Jiedu envoys sit big, right? If they plot against it, your majesty will be in danger......"
Tian Lingzi brought his think tank to discuss the arrangements after the Tang Dynasty and how to reduce the impact of the secession of various feudal towns. The current Datang government decree is not comprehensible, and it can only command and mobilize a few surrounding feudal towns, and the distant feudal towns directly ignore any orders of the Datang.
"Expand with the small, gather the weak and fight the widowed. Strong dry branches, government decrees will be passed. ”
Hua Ning is the person who has the most ideas under Tian Lingzi, and he is also the person Tian Lingzi trusts the most.
"Father-in-law, the best way now is to win over the small princes and let them support the imperial court, so that the big princes will not despise the imperial court and dare not ignore the imperial court."
Hua Ning continued to give advice to Tian Lingzi and explained to him how to get rid of the current problem of the end of the domain.
Reward the weak princes in a big way, win them over to support you, eliminate the strengths of the other, and achieve a balance or even surpass the strong princes, so you are not afraid that they will not obey the command.
"Strengthen the construction of the forbidden army, there is a huge forbidden army, and if any prince does not listen to the order, he will issue an edict from the Son of Heaven and gather the armies of other feudal domains and the forbidden army to destroy them."
Huaning's idea to Tian Lingzi is accurate and sophisticated, and it can be solved, but time is running out, Tian Lingzi does not give Datang time to buffer, so he takes medicine to "cure" Datang, which will only exacerbate the downfall of Datang.
"Okay, Huaning is really my living Zhuge , let's start with the reward!"
