Tian Lingzi has always been very vigilant, he knows very well that the current situation is unfavorable to himself, but since Xianzong, it is the eunuchs who control the government, especially after the change of Ganlu Temple, the power of the eunuchs has been consolidated, the lieutenant of the Shence Army controls the forbidden army, and the privy envoy participates in the decision-making of major affairs in the imperial court.

It is also because of such confidence that Tian Lingzi dares to make a bold move, he doesn't care about the civil and military ministers in the court, if anyone is not convinced, he can be killed and rejected, and the northern feudal towns will not do it for the time being, after all, the fundamental interests of these feudal towns have not yet been involved, and the only thing Tian Lingzi is worried about is Li Rupei in the south.

Li Rupei was able to exterminate the 70,000 army under Chen Jingxuan in a short period of time and completely control Jiannan Dao, this is not an ordinary ability, Tian Lingzi is aware of the situation, over the years, he does not know how much money and food has been invested in Chen Jingxuan, sent many capable officers, and introduced trusted strategists, the purpose is to let Chen Jingxuan train a strong army.

If Chen Jingxuan hadn't been lazy, after all, the Xichuan Army would have been able to defeat Yang Shili in Dongchuan in a short period of time, which would have been very good, but in front of the Iron Army, the Xichuan Army was actually vulnerable, which was enough to show the strength of the Iron Army.

If Li Rupei led the iron-blooded army towards the north, Tian Lingzi would only have to escape, of course, he still had a talisman, that is, the emperor, anyway, the emperor was controlled by him, I believe that no matter how bold Li Rupei is, he will not dare to kill the emperor directly.

The power of the imperial court has been limited to the capital Chang'an, the eastern capital Luoyang generation, the northern feudal towns have long been independent, do not obey the orders of the imperial court, it can be said that with the rise of Li Rupei, the imperial court is unimaginably weak, and the strength is even inferior to some strong feudal towns.

controlled the situation in the capital, after controlling the emperor. Tian Lingzi has become a deep and simple person, unless he is an absolute henchman such as Ma Tengyun, even Liu Jurong and others generally can't see him, but all the government affairs discussed by the court are handled in accordance with Tian Lingzi's wishes, the emperor became a puppet, and he didn't even participate in the early dynasty, after Tian Lingzi was unwilling to come forward, the early dynasty was presided over by Liu Jurong. It's a pity that such an early dynasty was seen as a joke by many people, thinking that those civil and military ministers who participated in the early dynasty were all wooden people, and it was okay to participate with their heads on their heads.

Tian Lingzi became sensitive and suspicious, began to not trust anyone easily, and began to lose his temper for no reason.

The so-called high place is unbearable, and Tian Lingzi, who may have completely controlled the capital, has learned the taste at this time.

Tian Lingzi will not fully believe Ma Tengyun. He didn't fully believe Song Wentong, when he promoted Song Wentong to the general of the Zuo Shence Army and asked Song Wentong to be in charge of the guards of the Daming Palace, he sent another henchman to monitor Song Wentong's every move.

Fortunately, Song Wentong is very cautious. Always pay attention to your words and deeds, even if Yang Fugong came to the capital, Song Wentong met twice, and arranged for Yang Fugong to meet the emperor once.

Tian Lingzi's posture of not believing in anyone. It has aroused the worries of Ma Tengyun and others, but they dare not put forward opinions and suggestions, so they can only be more careful. Everyone understands that Tian Lingzi is close to a state of madness, and it is possible that he will kill without words.

Tian Lingzi's attitude blocked his way, for example, Yang Fugong came to the capital, and Song Wentong's subtle changes, if he could maximize his subordinates, he could still find some clues.

However, the emperor's recent changes in spirit have attracted Tian Lingzi's attention.

The emperor is surrounded by people arranged by Tian Lingzi, except for the emperor's concubines, the rest of the people report the emperor's situation to Tian Lingzi at any time, including Song Wentong, but the real ones who can get to the point are the eunuchs of the harem, these people are always by the emperor's side, walking around in the harem all the time, of course they know more about the situation.

After Tian Lingzi learned that the emperor's spirit suddenly became good, he did not immediately confront the emperor, but asked the eunuchs in the harem to pay close attention to the concubines that the emperor came into contact with on weekdays, including the palace maids.

Tian Lingzi's countermeasure was good, and the eunuchs in the harem soon discovered that the emperor had more contact with a certain palace maid in the palace, and he cared about this palace maid very much.

A few days later, the palace maid was taken to Tian Lingzi's mansion.

Tian Lingzi has no interest in women, he is not like some eunuchs, what kind of wife do he want to marry, to put on a façade, in Tian Lingzi's view, eunuchs marrying women is an insult to themselves, so Tian Lingzi will not pity the jade.

After the palace maid was taken to the side room, Tian Lingzi's head was not raised.

The eunuch beside him spoke with a sharp voice.

"Bold, I saw the general, and I didn't kneel down yet......"

Tian Lingzi waved his hand and stopped the eunuchs around him from continuing to speak, it doesn't matter if he kneels or not, as long as the palace maid opens her mouth to tell the truth, the rest is not important.

"I heard that you have been very close to the emperor recently, is there such a thing?"

The palace maid's face was pale, she looked at Tian Lingzi, and did not speak.

"Our family found that the emperor has been in a good mood recently, are you confused?"

Seeing that the palace maid didn't mean to speak, Tian Lingzi's voice changed, and a trace of viciousness had penetrated into it.

This palace maid is the palace maid who led the way for Yang Fugong, and has won the trust of the emperor, to say that the emperor is still too young, he can't hold his breath, and after having hope, his mood has changed greatly, when he is in the harem, he has a smile on his face, and the concubines and palace maids are also talking and laughing, and such a huge change in mood will naturally be discovered by the eunuchs around him.

Seeing the palace maid's trembling body and her increasingly white face, Tian Lingzi's face barely squeezed out a smile.

"As long as you say that the emperor has encountered something recently, our family promises to make you a concubine."

The palace maid gritted her teeth desperately, although her teeth were trembling, but she didn't speak.

Tian Lingzi was a little impatient, waved his hand, and several eunuchs around him pounced.

They tore the palace maid's clothes, leaving the palace maid's body completely naked in front of everyone.

"Our family doesn't have so much patience, if you speak, you will be a concubine from tomorrow, if you don't want to say, tomorrow you will be a slut spurned by everyone on the street."

The palace maid was no longer able to stand steadily, she covered her private parts with her hands, but still did not speak.

Tian Lingzi's eyes shot a cold gaze, and after looking at the palace maid, he got up and walked out of the wing.

Soon the screams of the palace maids were heard in the wing......

Not long after the palace maid disappeared, the emperor found out.

The angry emperor began to ask the eunuchs around him, the emperor had no way to deal with Tian Lingzi, but he was still able to deal with the eunuchs around him, he picked up the wooden stick and beat the eunuchs around him fiercely, and the eunuchs who were almost killed finally spoke, saying that the palace maid was taken away by General Tian.

The emperor's face turned pale instantly, he raised the wooden stick in his hand, and hit the eunuch on the ground indifferently, regardless of the eunuch's screams, until the eunuch was no longer alive, the emperor still did not stop.

In the emperor's heart, there have been turbulent waves, this palace maid knows too many things, if he speaks out, then he, the emperor, is likely to be abolished in the shortest possible time, or even killed, and the new emperor is likely to ascend the throne immediately, as for the reason, Tian Lingzi can find a lot.

Mu Ran's emperor sat in the palace, and even the concubines came forward to greet him, but he didn't manage his money.

Tian Lingzi went too far, his hand was stretched out to the harem, and he arrested the palace maid at will, this is not just trampling on the dignity of the emperor, this is already a big rebellious behavior, it seems that Tian Lingzi is really crazy.

It's a pity that Tian Lingzi's madness can continue for a while, if Yang Fugong can't contact the northern feudal towns, then the emperor will not have a bright future, of course, the final way back, the emperor is also thinking about it, in case of the worst situation, he will leave a secret decree and pass the throne to the blessed king Li Rupei, once Li Rupei becomes the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Lingzi and others will die without a place to be buried, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, it will not work.

The anxious emperor has been sitting in the palace, and his inner feelings at this moment cannot be expressed in words.

Time passed slowly, the palace maid did not come back, and the emperor walked to the front of the palace gate of the harem several times, and then shook his head and walked back.

Until dark, the palace maid did not come back, tears had appeared in the emperor's eyes, this was the first time he shed tears after ascending the throne, this was a tear of humiliation, the emperor knew very well that this palace maid might not be able to save her life.

Tian Lingzi's mansion, wings.

The palace maid lying on the ground was pale, blood flowed from her lower body, and some black blood stains could be seen on her breasts and body, which were burned with incense, and the palace maid no longer had any breath.

There were a few big men beside him, naked, still with their mouths open, looking at the palace maids on the ground with obscene eyes.

A eunuch walked into the chamber and was astonished when he saw this scene, and screamed and spoke.

"You, what do you do, if the palace maid dies, you don't want to live......"

It's a pity that the palace maid is indeed Xiang Xiaoyu died, this palace maid chose to be loyal to the emperor, suffered too much humiliation, and did not speak, until she was humiliated to death, and did not speak, it is estimated that those civil and military officials in the court, knowing this scene, I am afraid that they can't raise their old faces, what a palace maid can do, those officials who are born as scholars, but can't do it.

Several strong men were quickly dragged out, and the fate that awaited them was predictable.

Tian Lingzi was extremely annoyed and didn't ask anything, which he didn't expect, but it was precisely because the palace maid didn't speak that Tian Lingzi decided to go to the emperor in person to see what the emperor had done. (To be continued......)
