As the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Duo is still very busy, during the Tang Yizong period, Wang Duo is a scholar in the middle of the book, entered the center of power, after Tang Xizong ascended the throne, with the strong strength and qualifications gathered in the court, Wang Duo became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister at the end of the Tang Dynasty was not so nourished, the struggle between the inner court and the outer court was very fierce, the eunuchs mastered the Shence army, held the army in their hands, and could control the court situation very lightly, plus Tang Xizong trusted the eunuch Tian Lingzi the most, This greatly limited the power of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. But this Wang Duo still has something extraordinary, at least in handling political affairs, he is clean and neat, and people can't find faults, so when he was three years old, he became the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

It is the spring ploughing season, the peasant rebel army led by Huang Chao in the Fuzhou area, was defeated by Gao Biao, the Zhenhai Jiedu, the generals Qin Yan, Bi Shiduo, Li Hanzhi all surrendered, the court received such a report, of course it was happy, Gao Biao is the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, once defeated the rebellion of the Nanzhao army, exterminated more than 200,000 troops of Nanzhao, and now come forward to encircle and suppress Huangchao, should be able to achieve the final victory.

Wang Duo was finally relieved, believing that Gao Yu would be able to completely exterminate the Yellow Nest.

It was at this time that Wang Duo received a letter from Liu Yunzhang, who was left behind in the Eastern Capital.

The relationship between Wang Duo and Liu Yunzhang is still good, Wang Duo appreciates Liu Yunzhang's "Book of Direct Advice" very much, but unfortunately Liu Yunzhang offended Tian Lingzi, and Wang Duo has no way to let Liu Yunzhang stay in the capital, as the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Duo must not turn his face with the eunuchs in the court, otherwise he will not think about what he can do.

The prime minister has one of the most important responsibilities, that is, to recommend officials to the imperial court, in this regard, the prime minister can barely compete with the eunuchs, the eunuchs' approach is more direct, there are countless godsons, directly control the army and the key departments of the imperial court, the prime minister also has his own methods, that is, the current officials among the handsome talents, recommend to the imperial court, promote these people into more important departments, enhance the power of the prime minister.

Liu Yunzhang rarely writes letters, but Wang Duo knows that Liu Yunzhang is left behind in the eastern capital, and has a certain prestige in the imperial court, and writing a letter to himself must be a recommendation for talents, Liu Yunzhang has a bad relationship with the eunuchs, and he is bent on suppressing the power of the eunuchs, and the only way is to recommend the heroes among the officials.

After opening the letter, Wang Duo read it carefully.

The letter was not long, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Wang Duo finished reading it.

The three poems in the letter are indeed very good, and Wang Duo even recited them silently several times.

It's a pity that Wang Duo and Liu Yunzhang are different, after all, he is the first prime minister of the imperial court, and his main attention is still in political affairs, good poetry, he will also look at it, but he will not particularly care, let alone determine that someone is an extraordinary talent through a few poems, and can't wait to recommend it to the imperial court, Li Taibai and Du Gongbu are very good poets, but it's a pity that being an official is a mess, and he doesn't understand the mystery of officialdom at all.

Besides, appreciating poetry is a matter for those young readers, who are a lot older and have experienced too many ups and downs, and have long looked down on these things.

But these three poems still attracted Wang Duo's attention, the ambition shown in the poems is not ordinary, Liu Yunzhang can't write such poems, but the strange thing is that in the letter, Liu Yunzhang did not say the source of these three poems, that is, I don't know who wrote these three poems.

Being able to write such poems shows that this person is still not ordinary, at least it is worth contacting to see if he has real talent and learning, and if he is really capable, he strongly recommends it to the imperial court, which is also a good thing.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Duo picked up his pen and began to write a reply.

In the reply, Wang Duo clearly informed Liu Yunzhang and introduced the situation of the poet, he is considering contacting the poet to see if he is really capable, if the ability is good, he will directly recommend it to the imperial court, such a talent should still be directly loyal to the imperial court, and it is a pity to be exiled to the mountains and wilderness.

Wang Duo was the first prime minister in the end, and he directly concluded that the person who wrote the poem must not be an official.

Wang Duo has such a habit, no matter what it is, it is basically handled in the official residence, and he will never take it home, as the prime minister, he must take the lead, otherwise the officials below will take everything home to deal with, what is the difference between them and eunuchs, those eunuchs like to deal with things in the mansion.

Perhaps because he felt that there was nothing else in this letter, Wang Duo did not deliberately put it away.

The content of the letter quickly reached the hands of Ma Tengyun, the protector of the Shence Army.

Ma Tengyun returned to the capital for a short time, he sat in Wuling County, commanded the task of killing Li Tong, the king of Wei, and his family, and successfully completed the task, and was appreciated by Tian Lingzi, as for the reward of two thousand taels of silver, Ma Tengyun did not take a penny of silver, all of them were given to Liu Ziheng, the general of the Shence Army, and let Liu Ziheng distribute it, Ma Tengyun is not short of silver, and he also knows that this is a way to entrap Liu Ziheng.

In the prime minister's official residence, there is the eyeliner secretly arranged by the eunuch, otherwise the eunuch would not have mastered so many situations and be able to win in every power struggle with the prime minister, although it is said that in the face of the prime minister and the court officials, the eunuch has mastered the absolute initiative, but in order to prevent the situation from occurring, there are still a lot of eunuchs in the court.

The letter written by Liu Yunzhang to Wang Duo was sent to Ma Tengyun through guò eyeliner.

Tian Lingzi needs to deal with a lot of things, and they are basically big things, and most of the time Tian Lingzi also needs to accompany the emperor, so general things are handled by Ma Tengyun, unless it involves unusual big things, he will go to Tian Lingzi. As one of Tian Lingzi's most trusted subordinates, Ma Tengyun also did his best to reassure Tian Lingzi.

I've read the letter several times.

Ma Tengyun's knowledge is very good, no less than those who are born as scholars, he has entered the palace since he was a child, in order to be able to get ahead among the eunuchs, study hard, but in terms of ordinary appearance, it seems very low-key.

At the beginning, Ma Tengyun didn't care, Liu Yunzhang and Wang Duo were both genuine Jinshi backgrounds, and their knowledge was very good.

The reason is that Ma Tengyun felt grief and indignation from the three poems.

I don't know why, he thought of Huolong Village, thought of Li Tong, and even thought of Li Yan's son Li Rupei, it is said that Li Rupei was killed by Liu Ziheng himself, there will be no problems here, but he didn't see Li Rupei's body that night, and Liu Ziheng didn't think to ask where Li Rupei was buried. Not seeing Li Rupei's corpse, for Ma Tengyun, who is cautious and suspicious by nature, is still a worrying thing, he believes in his own eyes and does not believe in other people's statements.

But through the three poems, it is a bit far-fetched to suspect the matter of Huolong Village, and besides, Li Rupei is only fifteen years old, so he may not have such knowledge and can write such wonderful poems, but the mood of these three poems is very much in line with the kind of anger after his parents and family were killed.

Ma Tengyun didn't want Tian Lingzi to know that he was incompetent, if he really said that the son of Li Yan, the king of Wei, was still alive, it was also a matter of secretly trying to find a way to kill him, and he believed that a young man who was ignorant of the world would not be able to make much of a storm.

After careful thinking, Ma Tengyun reported directly to Tian Lingzi, what he meant was that this letter was written by Liu Yunzhang to Wang Duo, and there were three poems in it, and the ambitions of these three poems were not ordinary, I am afraid that Liu Yunzhang and Wang Duo wanted to encircle talents and confront Beiya, and they must pay attention to this person who created poems, and see what he was doing, and kill this sign of uneasiness in the cradle.

Tian Lingzi trusts and appreciates Ma Tengyun very much, and also read these three poems carefully, thinking that the writing is indeed good, listening to Ma Tengyun's analysis, thinking that it is very reasonable, and agreeing to Ma Tengyun's meeting, but Tian Lingzi is in power, in a high position, and looks more far-reaching, he put it forward, if the author of this poem is willing to attach himself to Beiya, then start first, and rush to gather before Wang Duo and Liu Yunzhang, if you look down on the eunuchs, then clean and neat, do not do two endlessly, let this person go to see the king of Hades, In short, Nanya can't get such talents.

Soon, the Bei Ya made arrangements to strengthen the surveillance of the Prime Minister's Mansion and Liu Yunzhang, who was left behind in the Eastern Capital, hoping to monitor their every move and find out the person who wrote the poems.

Ma Tengyun didn't mention the matter of Li Tong, the king of Wei, at all, let alone report the suspicion in his heart, this suspicion is too far-fetched, and it is also unfavorable to himself, but what is uncharacteristic is that Ma Tengyun is personally responsible for the investigation of this matter, personally arranges many monitoring and investigation tasks, and repeatedly emphasizes that what clues exist, he must report directly to himself, no matter how big or small, as for what decisions and actions need to be made, he has already considered it.

On the one hand, Wang Duo has a lot of things to deal with and will not concentrate on such small things, on the other hand, the eunuchs who learned the news need to deliberately suppress the news, so as not to be widely recited in the capital, so that the reader's fame will become great, and it will be difficult for them to do it.
