Chapter 120: Tian Lingzi's abacus
Li Rupei's iron-blooded army took Liangzhou, killed Lu Yanhong, the envoy of Shannan West Road, first caused a huge shock in Shannan West Road, for many years, Lu Yanhong has been controlling Shannan West Road, the tooth army, the tooth army and the foreign town soldiers, are directly controlled by Lu Yanhong, the rest of the state government's assassin history, there is no army in hand, and the existence of the army is not allowed, once Lu Yanhong is killed, these assassins can't think of other ways, want to form an army in a short time, the possibility is not very large, even if the army is formed, it is also vulnerable, the only thing that can be relied on is the patrol houses in various places.
On the day of taking Liangzhou, Yan Fu led many iron-blooded army scouts and began to go to other prefecture yamen, acting according to Li Rupei's arrangement.
The big and small things that happened in Shannan West Road spread to the surroundings at the fastest speed.
Lu Yanhong was directly killed, and some of the assassins and county officials were also killed, which caused a huge shock.
Beijing, Chang'an.
Tian Lingzi's face was gloomy, and he went towards the palace, he never imagined that Li Rupei would take Liangzhou so quickly, and killed Lu Yanhong, the envoy of Shannan West Daojiedu, it should be said that Lu Yanhong has become his person, obeying the command, which makes his position in the court more stable, far more than Yang Fuguang and Yang Fugong and others, in today's court, he Tian Lingzi has become the natural boss, who wants to be an official or be given a title, has to go through his back door, surrender to him and give gifts and bribes, and he appoints officials, You don't need to go through the emperor and many prime ministers, you can make your own decisions.
At this time, the heartwarming things came one after another, first the famous Gao Yu, who was defeated by Huang Chao, and his general Zhang Lan was killed in battle, Huang Chao's power began to grow, stirring up the peace in the south, and then the iron-blooded army led by Li Rupei took the entire Shannan West Road, killed Lu Yanhong, and within the scope of Shannan West Road, wantonly excluded dissidents, and all officials who did not obey the command were almost killed.
Compared with Huang Chao and Li Rupei, Tian Lingzi is more worried about Li Rupei, although Li Rupei is young, only seventeen years old, but Li Rupei's identity is different, after all, he is the identity of a royal child, and Huang Chao is just a village horseman.
Tian Lingzi has always regarded Xichuan as the safest place, during the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Tang Ming went to Xichuan to escape the war, in case this yellow nest made trouble around the capital, Xichuan is the best place to hide, and his brother Chen Jingxuan has become the envoy of Xichuan Festival, but it is such a safe place, close to the Shannan West Road, which is completely controlled by Li Rupei.
This made Tian Lingzi how could he sleep well.
The emperor's playfulness is still very heavy, and he almost doesn't care about the government, this is the situation that Tian Lingzi wants to see, and it is also conducive to him controlling the government, as for the ministers below shouting blindly, it's not a big deal, whoever jumps too high is too much, just let it disappear.
After passing through the West Gate Garden, entering the Taiji Palace from the Xuanwu Gate, and then passing through the Chengtian Gate, you will enter the Imperial City.
It is said that the emperor should be in charge of government affairs in Taiji Palace, but unfortunately, this emperor thinks about eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, and has no intention of acting in the government at all.
Entering the imperial city, Tian Lingzi went straight to the back garden of the palace, he knew where the emperor was.
Sure enough, a group of eunuchs are accompanying the emperor to play, and the amusement program is cockfighting, which is the emperor's favorite game, and he has enjoyed it for many years, of course, the emperor has many hobbies, such as riding and archery, playing polo, music, Go, gambling, etc., but he doesn't like to go to the court and don't like to act in the government.
Many eunuchs saw Tian Lingzi coming over, and quietly took a few steps back.
Li Yi didn't need to look up, he knew that it was Tian Lingzi who was coming, so he waved his hand.
"Father, come and see, my general is really powerful, it can be said that he is invincible, I really want to take the general to the capital to have a look, so that my general can also go out to see it."
"The emperor's general is invincible in the world, and he doesn't need to go out of the palace, if the emperor's general goes out of the palace, then the people are not invincible, so I'm afraid it will affect the entertainment of this cockfight."
"Haha, what Father said is good, I still don't want to go out of the palace, but you remember, help me find those powerful fighting cocks, I want to see how long they can hold out in front of my general."
Li Yi spoke to the many eunuchs, in fact, these eunuchs had already done their best to help the emperor find the aggressive rooster, although it cost a lot of money, but it was still worth it.
Tian Lingzi looked at the emperor, and in a blink of an eye, the emperor was eighteen years old, and it was said that he was already an adult, but the emperor's playfulness, as before, had not changed in the slightest, and he didn't care about the government at all, and he was also absent-minded about the affairs of the court, and even thought of finding an excuse not to go to the court.
The emperor was absent-minded after going to court, which was a great benefit to Tian Lingzi, and everything was under his control.
"Your Majesty, the slave has something important to report."
Li Yi's energy was on the two roosters fighting each other, and he waved his hand at Tian Lingzi again.
"In the affairs of the court, my father can make a decision, if my father can't deal with it, come and tell me again, I won't have time."
This time, Tian Lingzi didn't leave immediately, the matter was too big, he had to let the emperor know, otherwise when the court meeting, the emperor didn't know, and there was an accident, so it would take extra effort.
"Your Majesty, this is a major matter, the first thing is that the Jiedu of Shannan West Road made Lu Yanhong be killed by the Iron Blood Army, and the Shannan West Road was controlled by the Iron Blood Army, and the second thing is that the thief Huang Chao captured Xuanzhou, and crossed the Yangtze River since quarrying, and the town navy Jiedu envoy and all the marching troops of the road were all in a hurry, saying that Huang Chao was powerful and could not fight......"
Li Yu's expression changed, and the two things Tian Lingzi said were indeed big things.
"The last time I saw Gao Yu's performance, I said that I took Huangchao, just around the corner, how long has it been, Huangchao actually crossed the Yangtze River, how did I do it, and that iron-blooded army, what is the situation, silently took Shannan West Road."
"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that Huang Chao is not enough to worry about for the time being, this Gao Yu must be afraid of war, or he wants to get more supplies, and it is the iron-blooded army of Shannan West Road that puts forward the conditions, which is a big trouble for the imperial court."
"Who is the commander of the Iron Army, is he an official in the court, how come I have never heard of it?"
Tian Lingzi has been prepared for a long time, he is not interested in Gao Biao, and at this time, he slandered Gao Biao in front of the emperor, the goal has been achieved, as for Li Rupei, he must tell the truth, Li Rupei has disclosed his identity in Shannan West Road, and many people know about it, and this matter cannot be hidden.
"The emperor, the commander of the iron-blooded army, is still the emperor's nephew, Li Rupei, the son of Li Tong, the king of Wei."
"What, isn't that Li Rupei dead?"
Li Yi's body trembled slightly.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that this Li Rupei's threat is even greater, Li Rupei relies on the identity of a child of the royal family, and has a great ** nature, if he can't quell the iron-blooded army as soon as possible and let Li Rupei sit big, there is a huge threat to the royal family."
Li Yi nodded and didn't speak immediately, after all, Li Rupei was his own nephew, and he was a little uncomfortable with the killing of Li Yan and Li Zhen.
Tian Lingzi was very smart and didn't speak immediately, and it was very likely that it would backfire if he continued to speak at this time.
After a while, Li Yi really spoke.
"I know all these things, so let's ask my father to deal with them."
"The slave obeys."
When leaving the palace, Tian Lingzi had a smile on his face, the emperor authorized it, he could mobilize the forces of all parties and go all out to encircle and suppress Li Rupei and the iron-blooded army, as for the Huangchao crossing the Yangtze River, it is indeed a great threat, but it is still very possible to ask all parts of the country to resist and temporarily alleviate the crisis.
Back at the Shence Army station, Tian Lingzi immediately found Ma Tengyun.
"Ma Tengyun, Li Rupei killed Lu Yanhong and occupied Shannan West Road, this is a big trouble, once Li Rupei achieves the climate, you and a certain will face great danger, this matter, you see how to deal with it."
"Gonggong Tian, my subordinates think that they can ask Liu Ziheng, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, to personally lead the army to conquer the iron-blooded army, and at the same time ask Xichuan Jiedu to make Chen Gong raise a large army, enter Shannan West Road, and conquer the iron-blooded army, so that the two armies will be able to win a big victory, and at the same time, they can also make the surrounding Jiedu envoys dispatch the army to conquer Shannan Xidao."
Tian Lingzi frowned slightly, but did not speak, Chen Jingxuan and Liu Ziheng are the objects he relies on, if he goes to conquer the Iron Blood Army and suffers heavy losses, wouldn't this weaken his own strength.
Ma Tengyun knew Tian Lingzi's thoughts, and then spoke.
"Father-in-law can order Liu Ziheng and Chen Gong to capture many state capitals in Shannan West Road, and the occupied places are under their direct control, so that their power can be strengthened."
Tian Lingzi shook his head, after all, he is a lieutenant of the Shence Army, and he still has some understanding of military affairs, the iron-blooded army can occupy Liangzhou and kill Lu Yanhong, and his combat effectiveness is definitely not ordinary.
"Ma Tengyun, your suggestion is good, but I still didn't think of a deeper place, a certain can issue an order, asking the Jiedu envoys of Henan Province, Guannei Province and other places to attack the Iron Army, if they can win, they can get a lot of property from Shannan West Road, so there will definitely be people willing to do it, as for saying that after they defeated the Iron Blood Army, they left Shannan West Road and let Xichuan lead Shannan West Road, that is a matter of killing two birds with one stone."
Ma Tengyun didn't continue to speak, he knew that Tian Lingzi had made up his mind, and there was no need to say more at this time, but unfortunately Tian Lingzi didn't expect that if someone else defeated the Iron Blood Army, would he easily withdraw from Shannan West Road.
