Chapter 289: Getting Carried Away

Although Zizhou is a little far away from the capital Chang'an, Tian Lingzi still received a letter from Chen Jingxuan in the shortest possible time, informing Yang Shili that he had been killed, Chen Jingxuan also put forward a request in the letter, begging Tian Lingzi to give greater support to Xichuan and Dongchuan, he also detailed the thinking of how to control Dongchuan, the sergeants brought from Chengdu, leaving 10,000 people stationed in Zizhou, and the surrendered sergeants under Yang Shili temporarily followed back to Chengdu for screening, and Chen Jingxuan will send a special envoy, The officials at all levels in Dongchuan were examined, and all Yang Shili's henchmen were dismissed from their posts and replaced with officials trusted by Chen Jingxuan.

Chen Jingxuan also emphasized in the letter that Chengdu is very calm and there are no other fluctuations, and the same is true for the direction of Zizhou.

Tian Lingzi read the letter with a smile on his face, the iron-blooded army he had been worried about did not make any moves, once Chen Jingxuan took Zizhou and killed Yang Shili, the situation in Dongchuan and Xichuan will have major changes, and from then on, Dongchuan and Xichuan among the three rivers are completely controlled by Chen Jingxuan and him Tian Lingzi, which is a major bargaining chip.

Yang Fuguang died of illness, Yang Fugong resigned and returned to his hometown, at this time, Chen Jingxuan put the icing on the cake and killed Yang Shili, which made Tian Lingzi's mood extremely happy.

As for Zheng Zheng and Yan Fu and others in the imperial court, they are not very strong forces, after all, Li Rupei is far away from the capital, and has never developed his own power in the capital, and the statement about Li Rupei's power is also a rumor from the south, and the Chinese military minister of the DPRK has not seen it with his own eyes, plus the county official is not as good as the current management, the civil and military minister of the central court will not be too biased towards Zheng Zheng and Yan Fu, which makes their power impossible to be very strong.

This means that Tian Lingzi can fully control the government.

For a long time, Tian Lingzi has been caught in the struggle for power, and the biggest obstacle is Yang Fuguang and Li Rupei, who emerged later. It has also formed a certain threat, but all this has passed and no longer exists, as long as Chen Jingxuan can manage Xichuan and Dongchuan well and gain a good foothold in these two places, then Tian Lingzi will be able to firmly control the power in the capital.

After receiving Chen Jingxuan's letter, Tian Lingzi finally made up his mind that he was going to recommend talents to the emperor.

The capital of Chang'an, Daming Palace. Zichen Palace.

The emperor was a little absent-minded, he didn't know what to think, if it wasn't for Tian Lingzi's repeated requests, the emperor would not have come to Zichen Palace, in fact, the emperor also knew what Tian Lingzi was about.

The emperor already knew about Yang Shili's beheading, and after learning the news, the emperor was not particularly happy, but felt a little lost. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has mainly been playing and playing, and basically has not cared about any court affairs, but as he grows older. The emperor also knew that if he couldn't really grasp the authority, his comfortable life would not last long, but the contradiction was there. If you have to worry about the affairs of the court, it is impossible for the emperor to play and play, and he will have to deal with many contradictions and complex relationships.

Perhaps it is because of the enormous challenge. It is also because of the lack of the emperor's own ability, and the complex situation in the Tang Dynasty is no longer something that can be controlled by an emperor who has no strength and only relies on the grace of his ancestors to ascend to the throne, so that the emperor can recognize the reality, with his ability, there is no way to control the government.

With such a mind, the emperor will feel that he has no interest in the things around him, and even has a psychology of avoidance.

Tian Lingzi didn't think so much, he needed his own purpose in advance.

"Your Majesty, the privy envoy Yang died of illness, and the slave maid was very sad, but there are many things in the court that need to be done, and the position of the privy envoy is very critical, and the slave and maid consider the imperial court, and recommend Ma Tengyun, the protector of the Zuo Shence army, to serve as the privy envoy......"

Tian Lingzi's words made the emperor a little speechless, but in fact, the candidate for the privy envoy in his heart was Yang Fugong.

Tian Lingzi's power in the court is too great, so that the emperor who is growing up has a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, but this dissatisfaction can only be hidden in his heart, and there is even no place to vent, Tian Lingzi controls the government, and most of the civil and military officials in the court are dependent on Tian Lingzi, and Dongchuan and Xichuan and other places are also directly controlled by Tian Lingzi, including the Shence Army in the capital, what the emperor can really master, there is almost nothing, at this time, in this situation, what can the emperor oppose, the so-called planting melons and getting melons, the emperor's years of frolicking and playing, in exchange for such a result.

Tian Lingzi recommended a lot of candidates, basically from the Shence Army, the eunuchs in the court who were attached to Yang Fuguang suffered a heavy blow at this moment, especially some of the generals in the Shence Army, who suffered ruthless adjustments.

The emperor listened absent-mindedly, and waited until Tian Lingzi finished speaking, and then spoke for a while.

"I don't have any opinion on the candidate recommended by my father......"

"The slave and maid thank the emperor for his ......"

didn't wait for the emperor to finish speaking, Tian Lingzi knelt down, which means that all the candidates he recommended were completely passed, as for the words that the emperor was going to say later, it was nothing more than thinking that these recommended candidates would still have to be discussed by the prime minister of the DPRK and China, Tian Lingzi didn't want the prime minister to discuss, after all, the first prime minister Zheng Jin, and he Tian Lingzi were the opposite, if this list of appointments was known by Zheng Zheng and raised objections, it would be very unpleasant.

It was the first time the emperor had encountered such a situation, and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Tian Lingzi.

Tian Lingzi's change is nothing more than Chen Jingxuan's huge victory in the battle against Yang Shili, which made Tian Lingzi's strength suddenly become stronger.

The emperor was a little at a loss, and he didn't know what to say next, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was forced to be like this, which can be described as tragic to the extreme.

Of course, the emperor will not know that his more tragic days are still to come.

Tian Lingzi, who was full of ambition, left the Zichen Hall with his head held high.

His purpose was completely achieved, the emperor approved all the adjustments, the most critical adjustment is that Ma Tengyun served as the privy envoy, which is equivalent to the most important force that Tian Lingzi planted in the court, from this time on, what Zheng Zheng and others are not his opponents, even if the prime minister is discussing the government, if there are any suggestions that have not been passed, Tian Lingzi can also rely on his own strength to forcibly pass.

Tian Lingzi's actions in the Zichen Hall today are a little bold, he knew that the emperor's words were not finished, but he dared to interrupt halfway, and some coerced the emperor to agree to his own intention of adjusting the officials, but this move was successful.

Such success was a huge encouragement to Tian Lingzi, making him feel that there would be no obstacle to complete control of the government.

There is a thought that has long spread in Tian Lingzi's heart, that is, if the emperor shows impatience with him, or dislikes him, he can take the lead and replace the emperor.

Everything is based on strength, and with enough power in hand, it is easy to say anything.

The threat of Li Rupei and the Iron Army, Tian Lingzi forgot for the time being, he has basically controlled the government, this is something worth celebrating, and such an atmosphere needs to be publicized so that everyone in the court and China can understand.

When Ma Tengyun came in a hurry, he saw Tian Lingzi with a smile on his face.

Before Ma Tengyun could speak, Tian Lingzi spoke first.

"Ma Tengyun, our family has recommended you to the emperor to serve as the privy envoy of the central court, the emperor thinks that you are worthy of a great responsibility, and also agrees with you to serve as the privy envoy, the next step, our family is also ready to suggest to the emperor that you be the lieutenant of the right army of the Shence Army, hateful This position, has been held by Yang Fuguang for a long time, and now Yang Fuguang, an old thing, is sick and dead, see who else in the court dares to work against our family."

Ma Tengyun didn't reflect for a while, being a privy envoy is something he dreams of, the eunuch in the court, being able to serve as a privy envoy is equivalent to reaching the peak stage, the privy envoy is always by the emperor's side, and can directly participate in the discussion and decision-making of the court, which is very different from the position of the protector in the Shence army.

Because of the antipathy of the Chinese military minister of the DPRK to the eunuchs, the eunuchs in the Shence army were not recognized by the Chinese military minister, but serving as a privy envoy was different, which meant that he really entered the imperial court officials.

There is also the ability to serve as the lieutenant of the Right Shence Army, which is also a great thing, on one side is the privy envoy, and on the other hand, he is the lieutenant of the Right Shence Army, which indicates that Ma Tengyun has walked from the backstage to the foreground, completely replacing Yang Fuguang.

Ma Tengyun couldn't help but kneel.

"The grace of the great general, the small one has written down, and if the general has any orders in the future, the small one will never give up."

"Privy Envoy Ma, you are the most trusted person in our family, don't say more about these words, after becoming a privy envoy, you have to pay attention to those who like to talk nonsense in the court, our family has always looked down on the prince's guest Wang Duo, if this guy didn't have enough qualifications, our family would have done it a long time ago, our family sees that the court is already in such a situation, this Wang Duo doesn't have to stay in the capital, go to Dongdu Luoyang, and go with Gao Biao and others."

"The little ones understand, and the little ones will do it right away."

"By the way, there are also people from the Yang family, there are many things that our family needs to care about, and these things will be handed over to you, as long as you can do it well, no matter what means you use, our family will speak for you in front of the emperor. As for Zheng Jin, Yan Fu and others, when our family can free up their hands, we will never let them go. ”

After Ma Tengyun left, Tian Lingzi couldn't help laughing, his laughter was very ugly, it could be said that it was not in his ears, but he was at the peak, even if he laughed so arrogantly, no one dared to fart. (To be continued......)
