Liu Yunzhang's resignation and the defeat of the Iron and Blood Army at the same time as Huang Chao arrived in the capital.

The two letters caused an uproar.

There are two completely different performances in the imperial court, the prime minister headed by Zheng Zheng and many civil and military officials, feel happy, thinking that the Tang Dynasty has been saved, and the capital Chang'an is safe and sound, you must know that Li Rupei, the king of Yi, led 20,000 iron-blooded troops and defeated hundreds of thousands of troops under Huang Chao, such combat effectiveness is rare in the world, which shows that the iron-blooded army is the hope of the imperial court, and they congratulated the emperor at the court meeting, after all, Li Rupei is the prince and is an authentic royal child.

Many eunuchs and some officials led by Tian Lingzi and Liu Jurong expressed their silence, they could not raise any objections, after all, the iron-blooded army defeated Huangchao, kept the eastern capital Luoyang, and completely resolved the crisis in the capital, but the fear in their hearts is real, Tian Lingzi and Liu Jurong's fear is very clear, they have a direct relationship with the death of Li Tong, the king of Wei, they are Li Rupei's biggest enemy, if Li Rupei grows stronger, their end will not come.

As for the eunuch's fear of Li Rupei, it is also very normal, after all, after so many years, the government has always been controlled by the eunuchs, and any royal child has grown up under the care of the eunuchs, and has an unusual relationship with the eunuchs, but this Li Rupei is an exception, but this Li Rupei has an extraordinary ability, if Li Rupei enters the capital in the future, will they be deprived of their power.

Tian Lingzi and many eunuchs have already received a secret report from the general of the Shence Army, and the Shence Army suffered a crushing defeat in the process of competing with the Huangchao army, and the losses are huge, this kind of fact that cannot be concealed, the generals sent to Luoyang will not hide it, compared with the two, the Shence Army is not the opponent of the Iron and Blood Army at all, which may also indicate that Li Rupei wants to liquidate the eunuchs, which is a very simple matter.

Before the arrival of the court, Tian Lingzi's main task was to observe the emperor's actions, and the eunuchs around the emperor were all arranged by him personally, and it was very simple to grasp the emperor's every move, but it was not so easy to know what the emperor wanted, for example, in the matter of canonizing Li Rupei as the king of Yi, Tian Lingzi did not predict it.

When the Huangchao army killed Zhang Luan, so that Gao Yu did not dare to fight, and swept the south, Tian Lingzi already had an idea, and when the Huangchao army killed Cao Quanyang and coerced the eastern capital Luoyang, Tian Lingzi was ready for everything, that is, to replace the Xichuan Jiedu envoy, and let his brother Chen Jingxuan serve as the Xichuan Jiedu envoy, once the Huangchao army waved the capital, he fled to Xichuan with the emperor and temporarily evaded.

Just when the Huangchao soldiers opened the seal, Tian Lingzi was already preparing in secret.

All this is based on the emperor's playfulness and ignorance of the government, and based on Tian Lingzi's control of the power in the court.

Tian Lingzi knows very well that as the emperor grows up, I am afraid that there will be a slight change in his inner thoughts, that is, he wants to be able to control power, this is human nature, no matter how playful people are, no matter how playful people are, the emperor is already eighteen years old, and it is time to thoroughly understand things, maybe one day, he suddenly thinks about starting to seriously act in the government.

Tian Lingzi doesn't want to take the situation to appear, the government needs him to grasp it, the emperor has fun every day, which is the situation he is most willing to see, so the iron-blooded army defeated Huangchao, kept the eastern capital Luoyang, and lifted the crisis in the capital, he also needs to take action, since the iron-blooded army led by Li Rupei is so strong, then make trouble for Li Rupei, so that between the emperor and Li Rupei, a situation of incompatibility between water and fire will be formed, and at that time he will have the opportunity to hit Li Rupei and the iron-blooded army.

In the early dynasty, it was rare for the emperor to participate, perhaps it was the victory of the iron-blooded army, which made the emperor excited.

Many ministers gathered in the main hall, most of them had smiles on their faces, whispering to each other, talking about Li Rupei and the Iron Army, and many people felt sorry for Lu Xian, if Lu Xian could hold on for a period of time and survive the most difficult days, there would be nothing to do now.

The early dynasty was naturally presided over by the first-ranked prime minister, Zheng Jin. The main thing discussed in the early dynasty this time was also about the candidates for the remaining positions in the Eastern Capital, as well as how to deal with Liu Yunzhang, but everyone knew that dealing with Liu Yunzhang was an empty word, because Liu Yunzhang had already followed Li Rupei to Liangzhou, and the imperial court could not deal with it at all, even if he wanted to deal with it, he had to ask for Li Rupei's consent.

Zheng Zheng announced the beginning of the early dynasty.

The first to speak was Liu Jurong, the secretary of the ministry and the secretary of Pingzhang.

Liu Jurong suggested that Kan Zeyu of the military department Langzhong should be appointed as the guard of the eastern capital, as for Liu Yunzhang, he was ready to open the city gate and surrender to Huangchao, which was an unforgivable sin, and the court should punish him severely, and suggested that the emperor issued an edict asking Liu Yunzhang to come to the capital to accept punishment, and at the same time, the court removed all Liu Yunzhang's fame, degraded him as a commoner, and he was never hired by the court.

When Liu Jurong spoke, there was a buzz around him, according to reason, Liu Yunzhang should indeed be punished, but after all, it is a measure that has not formed a fact, such a severe punishment, is it too much, and the most critical point, Liu Yunzhang has followed Li Rupei to Liangzhou, how should the emperor give an order, should he reprimand Li Rupei together.

After Liu Jurong finished speaking, there was a temporary silence in the hall for a while.

The pattern in the imperial court, everyone is clear, since Lu Xian's death, the prime minister who can communicate with the eunuchs is Liu Jurong, the relationship between Zheng Zheng and the eunuchs is very cold, so Liu Jurong said such words, I am afraid that it also contains the meaning of Tian Lingzi and others.

Ordinary people will not stand up to refute such opinions, which is tantamount to offending Tian Lingzi and Liu Jurong, and few people can bear such pressure.

It was Zheng Jin who stood up against it.

This is expected by everyone, after all, Zheng Zheng is the first prime minister, and his qualifications are not ordinary, he can speak in the court, and he also has enough prestige.

Zheng Jin's opinion is very clear, recommending Kan Zeyu to stay in the eastern capital, he has no opinion, and agrees, as for what punishment measures to take against Liu Yunzhang, the imperial court may wish to hand over this power to Li Rupei, the king of Yi, after all, the reality is that Liu Yunzhang took the initiative to resign from the post of staying in the eastern capital and followed Li Rupei to Liangzhou.

Zheng Zheng finally emphasized that Li Rupei led the iron-blooded army, ran thousands of miles, defeated Huangchao, relieved the crisis faced by the eastern capital Luoyang, and made the capital more stable from the side, such a huge contribution cannot be forgotten by the imperial court.

As soon as Zheng Ji finished speaking, Tian Lingzi spoke directly.

This caused silence in the hall to fall silent again.

Tian Lingzi rarely spoke in the early court, and there were usually people who helped him speak, if he was going to speak, it meant that the matter was very critical, or very important.

Tian Lingzi supported Liu Jurong's opinion, he said that the righteousness is awe-inspiring, what the prestige of the imperial court must be protected, no matter how much credit Li Rupei has made, it is necessary to obey the emperor's will, since Liu Jurong is a big mistake, it must be dealt with by the imperial court, this is a principle, can not be shaken.

Liu Jurong finally put forward a suggestion, that is, Li Rupei has made great contributions, and the court should reward him, and the emperor can canonize Li Rupei as a peaceful matter.

After Tian Lingzi put forward this suggestion, there was a discussion in the hall again.

Pingzhangshi is the prime minister of the court, and concurrently serves as the envoy of Pingzhang, which obviously does not work, if Li Rupei is appointed as Pingzhangshi, it is very likely that he will enter the capital, which does not mean that the candidate for the envoy of Shannan West Province needs to be arranged separately.

Li Rupei will not be able to see the strangeness in this, how can he be in charge of Pingzhang.

But if Li Rupei wants to say that he refuses to serve as Pingzhangshi, it is tantamount to resisting the decree, which means that there will be a direct conflict between Li Rupei and the emperor, and the emergence of this conflict will have a fatal blow to the stability of the government.

At this time, even a fool knows that the relationship between Tian Lingzi and Li Rupei is not ordinary, and the two are likely to become the biggest opponents, it should be said that the two have their own advantages, Tian Lingzi controls the government and has the direct support of the emperor behind him, but Li Rupei has an iron-blooded army, and his strength makes everyone afraid.

After Tian Lingzi finished speaking, the hall was quiet again, and no one would continue to speak.

Even Wang Duo, who liked to speak the most, closed his eyes slightly.

The emperor finally spoke.

Kan Zeyu served as the eastern capital to stay in the matter, the emperor agreed, as for the punishment of Liu Yunzhang, the emperor believes that there are differences between the court and the middle, this matter will not be decided for the time being, and will not be discussed until the next early court, as for the canonization of Li Rupei as a Pingzhang matter, not long ago Li Rupei was canonized as the king of Yi, such a frequent appointment, it seems child's play, and Li Rupei led the iron-blooded army, thousands of miles to rush to aid the eastern capital Luoyang, which is what should be done, so it is not suitable to canonize Li Rupei as a Pingzhang matter at present.

The emperor especially emphasized that Li Rupei is young, and after a period of tempering in Shannan West Road, he will definitely become a pillar of the court.

When the emperor said this, many people's eyes looked at Tian Lingzi.

The emperor said very methodically, and the tone was unquestionable, this was a situation that had never appeared before, could it be because of the strength of Li Rupei and the iron-blooded army, so that the emperor saw hope, and it was not necessary to rely entirely on the Shence army and the eunuchs in the court, if this is really the case, then the position of Tian Lingzi and others is somewhat interesting.

Tian Lingzi's face was as usual, and there was no change, but Liu Jurong's expression changed, he understood what the emperor meant, and he really felt that the emperor had grown up and wanted to control power, and the emperor's reliance might be transferred.
