Chapter 300: Song Wentong and His People
Yang Fugong soon learned of the changes in the capital.
has been in the whirlpool of power for a long time, Yang Fugong can smell an unusual smell, the reason why he applied to return to his hometown to recuperate, it is to avoid the disaster in front of him, not to think about the real retreat, seeing that there may be changes in the capital, the opportunity is very likely to come, Yang Fugong can't sit still.
Tian Lingzi's actions have reached a very bold point, not only to control the civil and military ministers in the court, but even to directly control the emperor, this kind of practice, unless it is in an extraordinary period, is the rhythm of death.
However, how to seize this opportunity, Yang Fugong has not thought about it yet, it should be said that the Yang family has a certain amount of power in the capital, especially in the Shence Army, for a long time, Tian Lingzi controls the Left Shence Army, Yang Fuguang controls the Right Shence Army, but the strength of the Left Shence Army is far stronger than the Right Shence Army, and Tian Lingzi has won the trust of the emperor, which makes Tian Lingzi go to the peak of power, but when it comes to the strength of the family, Tian Lingzi cannot be compared with the Yang family at all.
Yang Fugong's adoptive father, Yang Xuanji, is the privy envoy of the central court, the trust of Emperor Yizong, and controls the power of the court, not to mention his cousin Yang Fuguang, the lieutenant of the right Shence Army, the privy envoy, was arranged by Emperor Xizong to fight against Tian Lingzi, Yang Fugong entered the province of Inner Service since he was a child, and then he also went out to prison the towns of various domains, and made a lot of relationships.
It's a pity that most of these relationships have been suppressed by Tian Lingzi in recent years, and they have gradually depressed.
Especially after Yang Fuguang died of illness, Tian Lingzi took the opportunity to take control of the Right Shence Army, and let Ma Tengyun actually take charge of the affairs of the Right Shence Army, Ma Tengyun adjusted a large number of officers according to Tian Lingzi's arrangement, and degraded all the former Yang Fuguang's henchmen, and then let Ma Tengyun serve as the lieutenant of the Right Shence Army, and his henchman Li Jun served as the general of the Right Shence Army.
Tian Lingzi beheaded Zheng Zheng in front of the emperor. belittled Wang Duo, indicating that he completely controlled the capital.
However, what Tian Lingzi can control is the capital, Jiannan Dao has been taken by Li Rupei, and Chen Jingxuan has been captured, so that the external force that Tian Lingzi can rely on does not exist.
Comparatively speaking, Yang Fugong's relationship with many feudal towns is better than that of Tian Lingzi.
However, at such a special moment, I don't know what those feudal towns will think, whether they will come forward to help him Yang Fugong.
Yang Fugong looked at the list of northern feudal towns over and over again, these people he was basically familiar with. These people are all very powerful, and they are by no means ordinary people.
Zhu Mei was made by the Jingyan Festival, Li Keyong was made by the Hedong Festival, Wang Chongrong was made by the Hezhong Festival, Li Changfu was made by the Fengxiang Festival, Wang Jingwu was made by the Pinglu Festival, Qi Kerang was made by the Taining Military Festival, Wang Chongying was made by the Shaanxi Festival, and Wang was saved by the Yiwu Army Festival. There are also known as the three towns of Hebei Wei Bo Festival to make Han Jian, Chengde Festival to make Wang Rong, Youzhou Festival to make Li Keju.
Looking at the names of these people, Yang Fugong's heart was very complicated. I also feel that my heart is empty, and all the things that these northern feudal towns do are for profit. They will never do anything in vain, and among these feudal towns. The strongest are Zhu Mei of Jingyan Jiedu, Li Keyong of Hedong Jiedu, Wang Chongrong of Hezhong Jiedu, Li Changfu of Fengxiang Jiedu and Li Keju of Youzhou Jiedu, in terms of the strength of the army, Li Keyong is the first, followed by Zhu Mei.
If you want these people to help, Yang Fugong must pay a huge price, maybe from the current situation, it is not very suitable, he Yang Fugong can't come up with enough capital to let these feudal towns help, maybe he has any measures, these feudal towns will immediately ventilate Tian Lingzi and get direct benefits from Tian Lingzi.
After thinking about it, Yang Fugong denied the idea of relying on the northern feudal towns.
He could only aim his gaze at the capital and the Shence army in the capital.
Seeing that the opportunity was coming, but there was no way to enter the capital, Yang Fugong could not sleep and sleep.
I don't know what the reason is, Yang Fugong suddenly thought of a person, Song Wentong, the commander of the Zuo Shence Army.
This Song Wentong still has some background, he is very brave in battle, he once served as a soldier in the Zhenzhou Boye Army, and by chance, he was favored by Yang Fuguang and absorbed into the Shence Army. When Yang Fuguang arranged Song Wentong, he had a heart, he regarded Song Wentong as a confidant, but he did not arrange it in the Right God Army, but let Song Wentong enter the Left God Army and become Ma Tengyun's henchman, Song Wentong's performance was really good, and in a short period of time, he was promoted to commander.
No one knew that this Song Wentong was Yang Fuguang's henchman.
Yang Fugong also remembered that because of Tian Lingzi's adjustment, the officers of the Shence Army were about to change drastically, and Song Wentong was very likely to be promoted to the general of the Shence Army.
Today's Song Wentong is in charge of garrisoning the Daming Palace, leading more than a thousand sergeants of the Shence Army to patrol the Daming Palace all the time, which shows that Song Wentong has the full trust of Tian Lingzi and Ma Tengyun.
Yang Fugong was a little excited, he could use Song Wentong's relationship to meet the emperor, as long as he could see the emperor and get the emperor's holy decree, Yang Fugong would have a way to deal with Tian Lingzi, after all, everyone is a eunuch, and they all know where to exert force.
This Song Wentong is indeed famous, but the name has not changed at this time.
Song Wentong was the later Li Maozhen, the king of Qi during the Five Dynasties.
After Yang Fuguang's death, Song Wentong was a little worried, and he didn't know what kind of changes would occur in the imperial court, but with Yang Fugong's retirement, Song Wentong gradually felt relieved.
Song Wentong is ambitious, but in fact, he is not used to the dictatorship of eunuchs.
Song Wentong admires Yang Fuguang very much, among the eunuchs, there are not many eunuchs like Yang Fuguang who only consider the emperor and the court, and rarely consider personal interests, and it can even be said that there are very few, and it is precisely for this reason that although under the command of Tian Lingzi and Ma Tengyun, Song Wentong is still loyal to Yang Fuguang.
It's a pity that Yang Fuguang died of illness, which made Song Wentong's heart fluctuate greatly, and also made his idea of controlling power infinitely inflated, he was no longer satisfied with just being under the command of Tian Lingzi and Ma Tengyun, he hoped to be able to go out to serve as a festival envoy, as long as he was given a place, he would be able to govern well and develop his own strength.
It's a pity that the reality gave Song Wentong a blow to the head, the south has been controlled by the Iron and Blood Army and the Fu King Li Rupei, and the feudal towns in the north are very powerful, and no one will obey the orders of the imperial court.
Song Wentong is not a master who gives up easily, he also has to look for opportunities.
The chaos in the capital made Song Wentong faintly see an opportunity, but unfortunately there was a lack of breakthrough.
It was at this time that Song Wentong received a letter from Yang Fugong.
For the purpose of protecting his life, Song Wentong almost handed the letter directly to Tian Lingzi, but reason made him negate this choice, if Tian Lingzi and Ma Tengyun knew that he Song Wentong was once Yang Fuguang's confidant, then what awaits him will be an extremely tragic fate, and any opportunity to soar will disappear without a trace, maybe he will not be able to save his life.
Song Wentong, who was frightened, looked at Yang Fugong's letter, he didn't know what to do, he didn't dare to find anyone to discuss, and he was even afraid that Yang Fugong's letter would be known by others, but instinctively prompted, he did not destroy the letter.
When he was on duty in Daming Palace, Song Wentong thought about Yang Fugong's letter, looking at the majestic palace, he suddenly felt enlightened, why was he so narrow-minded, he didn't expect that this was an opportunity that could be used, maybe through this opportunity, his fate would change.
A lot of thoughts popped up in his head, and after Song Wentong gave a simple order to the sergeant, he returned to his residence.
He closed the door and opened Yang Fugong's letter again.
The situation in the capital is very delicate, although Tian Lingzi, Ma Tengyun and others have completely controlled the situation, and the civil and military ministers around Zheng Jin, or the civil and military ministers who favored the blessed king Li Rupei, are suffering from large-scale purges, or are removed from all positions, or even directly imprisoned, but this seemingly stable situation on the surface has a very weak foundation.
The deep-seated reason is that Tian Lingzi has done too much, which arouses anger and resentment, and the civil and military ministers in the court have given in on the surface, but they have already had an opinion on Tian Lingzi in their hearts, and even Liu Jurong, who has just been promoted to the first prime minister, did not have too many expressions on his face when he went to the court.
There are also eunuchs in the palace, who are superficially subservient to Tian Lingzi and others, and secretly have some complaints.
Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and they can see the direction of the future clearly from the chaotic situation, Tian Lingzi's approach has no future, to put it mildly, it is just a dying struggle, even if Tian Lingzi uses his power to completely control the emperor, it is impossible to hold on for long.
Sooner or later, the feudal towns in the north will know about the situation in the capital, not to mention Li Rupei, the king of Fu in the south, and if any party has action, Tian Lingzi will not be able to support it, after all, it is impossible to maintain a long time without a basic regime.
Song Wentong was reluctant to follow the funeral.
Yang Fugong's letter may be his best chance to get out of the current situation.
How to take advantage of this opportunity, Song Wentong needs to think, Tian Lingzi controls the left and right Shence Army, and also controls the emperor and the imperial court, and public action is tantamount to looking for death, even if Yang Fugong comes to the capital, he will only be killed by Tian Lingzi, and it seems that he still needs to rely on external forces, which are nothing more than the forces of the north and the south.
Song Wentong set his eyes on the feudal towns in the north, no matter what, these feudal towns were still nominally subordinate to the imperial court, and they also paid a certain amount of taxes every year. (To be continued......)
