Chapter 236: Deep Planning

Yang Fuguang's suggestion, so that Tian Lingzi is happy, with the growth of Li Rupei's strength, Tian Lingzi's inner torment is indescribable, the sense of crisis is also getting worse, he took advantage of the opportunity to control the government, began to focus on supporting the Xichuan Festival envoy Chen Jingxuan, Chen Jingxuan is his brother, but also one of his biggest dependence, although it is said that he controls the government and the army, but the situation in the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more unstable, many problems have been exposed, maybe turmoil is a matter of time.

Planning ahead has always been an advantage for eunuchs.

Taking advantage of the special relationship with the emperor, Tian Lingzi basically controlled the appointment of court officials, whoever wants to be an official, he is required to do so, otherwise he will not achieve the goal at all, even if it is a festival envoy from all over the south, Tian Lingzi can also get involved, and in the matter of appointing court officials, Tian Lingzi can even bypass the emperor and make decisions directly, which makes him the core figure of the power group, but as the emperor grows older, with the strength of Li Rupei's strength, seeing the prestige of the Li Tang royal family quietly growing, Tian Lingzi gradually feels, The situation in which he completely controlled the government was suppressed.

There is one of the most critical personnel in this, which is Zheng Jin.

Zheng Jin, as the first prime minister of the imperial court, has a special status, if it is according to the past situation, Zheng Zheng will not be able to directly compete with Tian Lingzi, but because of Li Rupei's support, Zheng Jin's confidence is very strong, often in the court meeting, veto some of Tian Lingzi's proposals, and also take this opportunity to promote and reuse a lot of officials, Yan Fu, the squire of the military department, is a good example.

This made some officials in the court smell an unusual smell, and slowly began to get closer to Zheng Jin, most of these people are wall grass, seeing Li Rupei's unprecedented strength, and the identity of the prince, they will take the opportunity to leave a good impression in Li Rupei's heart, at least in the future, Li Rupei can control power, and they will be able to get a good job.

Tian Lingzi tried every means to dispel such signs. It's a pity that the emperor's attitude is not very clear, and Yang Fuguang has not made a clear statement, which makes it difficult for him to stand alone.

Yang Fuguang's support gave Tian Lingzi enough confidence.

Since it is cooperation, it is inevitable that Yang Vicelight will also be able to get benefits from it.

The relationship between Tian Lingzi and Wang Duo was not good, and the removal of Wang Duo as the first prime minister was the result of Tian Lingzi's insistence, and Wang Duo, who was later removed from the post of first prime minister, still exerted influence in the imperial court. Tian Lingzi secretly suppressed it, which greatly weakened Wang Duo's influence, which is also a well-known thing.

Now Yang Fuguang proposes that Wang Duo be the first prime minister, of course Tian Lingzi will not agree, but Tian Lingzi is not good at opposing Wang Duo as prime minister, otherwise Yang Fuguang will not agree to cooperate, and the two powers will harm each other.

Liu Jurong became the first prime minister, which was very beneficial to Tian Lingzi. After all, there is a very direct interest between the two, that is, to deal with Li Rupei together, after Shannan Dongdao was controlled by Li Rupei, Liu Jurong was depressed for a long time.

The most important thing is to be able to suppress Zheng Jin.

Suppressing Zheng Zheng means suppressing Li Rupei.

Zheng Zheng can be said to be Li Rupei's agent in the capital. Once Zheng Ji was suppressed, the Chinese military minister of the DPRK naturally understood the meaning and consciously began to alienate Li Rupei.

The biggest difficulty in removing Zheng Zheng is still in the emperor's place, if it is according to the previous pattern. Tian Lingzi was not sure that the emperor would agree to remove Zheng Jin, but with Yang Fuguang's support, it might be possible.

Ma Tengyun hurried over.

This time of calm. Let Ma Tengyun feel a little uncomfortable, not for a long time, Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road have been occupied by Li Rupei one after another, it can be said that Li Rupei has become the largest feudal town in the Tang Dynasty, if it continues to develop according to this trend, I am afraid that it will not take long for someone to come forward to support Li Rupei as the emperor, really at that time, Ma Tengyun knows that his life will end, what glory and wealth, what great power, no longer exists.

But Li Rupei's rise seems to be unstoppable, even Tian Lingzi has no real way to limit it, the majesty of the imperial court is nothing at all, not to mention facing the powerful iron-blooded army and Li Rupei, even in the face of the northern feudal towns, there is no real way to restrain it.

Ma Tengyun also admired Li Rupei's ability, not only occupying more territory, but also laying chess pieces in the capital, so that he could take care of both ends and not be in sharp opposition with the emperor.

Ma Tengyun once suggested to Tian Lingzi that he must find a way to deal with Li Rupei, according to the current pattern, for the time being, he cannot directly deal with Li Rupei who is far away in Xiangyang, and he can start from the imperial court, first eliminate Zheng Zheng and Yan Fu and others, there is still no big problem, once Li Rupei's forces in the imperial court are all eliminated, it will be a heavy blow to Li Rupei.

Ma Tengyun knows very well that Li Rupei is a child of the Li Tang royal family, and he must do things according to the rules, even if he steps on the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor in the future, he needs to serve the public, and he needs to get the support of the vast majority of officials, Li Rupei will never get the position of emperor by rebellion, so that the Tang Dynasty will be completely in chaos, maybe at that time, the Tang Dynasty will really collapse.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to restrict Li Rupei's development of the iron-blooded army now, but it is possible to cut off many of Li Rupei's tentacles, so as to directly restrict Li Rupei's development and let Li Rupei stay in the south.

"Ma Tengyun, Yang Fuguang came here just now and made a suggestion, let Wang Duo, the old man, be the prime minister, and let Zheng Zheng be the prince's guest, our family agreed, but this first prime minister should be Liu Yunzhang, what do you think of this suggestion."

"General, my subordinates think it's very good."

"Well, our family wants you to analyze why Yang Fuguang made such a suggestion, our family remembers that there is no conflict between Yang Fuguang and Zheng Jin, but that Wang Duo seems to have a lot of connections with Yang Fuguang, the last time the emperor was at a banquet, the two of them muttered something to each other for a while, and they didn't know what to say."

Ma Tengyun pondered for a while, he knew very well that the contradiction between Yang Fuguang and Tian Lingzi was, in the final analysis, a matter of fighting for power, and Yang Fuguang was very prestigious in the Shence Army, and he was also trusted by the emperor, once Yang Fuguang was allowed to control too much power, it would definitely be detrimental to Tian Lingzi and him.

"General, the lesser of the two powers, according to the investigation of his subordinates, there was no connection between Yang Fuguang and Wang Duo before, this time Yang Fuguang rejected Zheng Zheng and recommended Wang Duo, indicating that they have formed an alliance between them, they want to unite, compete with the general, and seize greater power, this purpose is very clear, but the subordinates think that the alliance between them can be controlled for the time being, this Zheng Zheng is attached to Li Rupei, has done very obviously, if it can't be stopped immediately, there will be a bigger problem, at this point, Presumably Yang Fuguang also noticed it. ”

Tian Lingzi nodded slightly, agreeing with Ma Tengyun's analysis.

"The subordinates think that the general can make a plan, since Yang Fuguang recommends Wang Duo, then let him come forward to operate directly, and the general can stand behind the back and manipulate, since Zheng Zheng is adjusted, it means that there are still a lot of officials who need to be adjusted, and the general can take this opportunity to arrange more trustworthy people, so that even if Yang Fuguang and Wang Duo have any plans, it will be difficult to achieve, and any of their actions are in the control of the general."

"The subordinates think that Zheng Zheng is the biggest trouble, Zheng Zheng is attached to Li Rupei, and he has gathered some officials in the court, once there is any turmoil in the court, they will be impatient, relying on Li Rupei to make waves, such a situation will never appear."

Tian Lingzi's face showed a cold smile, Ma Tengyun's analysis is very reasonable, and it is also the most feasible plan, Tian Lingzi believes that he will definitely be able to control the government, as for the alliance between Yang Fuguang and Wang Duo, the problem will not be very big at present, and he can deal with it completely.

"Ma Tengyun, your analysis is good, but there is still a certain degree of difficulty in the emperor's place."

"The subordinates thought that Yang Fuguang would definitely make suggestions to the emperor directly, and the subordinates also believed that the emperor would ask the general for his opinion, as long as the emperor opened his mouth to ask, this matter would be successful."

"You mean we don't take the initiative to bring this up."

"The subordinates think so, since Yang Fuguang took the initiative to find the general, he can't wait, this matter is Yang Fuguang's request for the general, and it is completely possible for Yang Fuguang to come out, the emperor will definitely hesitate, this is also an opportunity for the general."

Tian Lingzi narrowed his eyes slightly, he has always trusted Ma Tengyun very much, and let Ma Tengyun handle almost all the matters of the Shence Army, over the years, Ma Tengyun is indeed loyal, his thinking is also very flexible, and everything he handles is just right, which is a very good thing, but on the other hand, if Ma Tengyun has any other thoughts, it is the most dangerous thing.

Eunuchs have special thoughts, and suspicion is the most significant, probably because of physical disabilities, which leads to lack of self-confidence.

Ma Tengyun didn't notice Tian Lingzi's expression at all, and he was still proud of his suggestion.

After being silent for a while, Tian Lingzi finally spoke.

"Okay, just follow your suggestion, our family will wait for Yang Fuguang to give advice to the emperor, but one thing you have to remember is that this matter must be kept secret, and there must not be the slightest leakage, so as not to alarm Li Rupei and Zheng Jin, as well as that Yan Fu, if they are prepared, this matter will not be easy to handle."
