Chapter 240: Fury
When Liu Yunzhang arrived in the capital, Tian Lingzi felt bad, and this feeling was particularly strong.
It should be said that over the years, there have been too many twists and turns in the Tang Dynasty, Huangchao has been in turmoil for many years, many feudal towns in the north are becoming more and more restless, and there have been many situations in the south, especially the rise of Li Rupei and the turmoil in some places, it can be said that there are not many places where the imperial court can really fully control, but these situations, Tian Lingzi is not particularly anxious, as long as he can control the government, these problems are not a problem.
But now the situation is different, Li Rupei actually dared to send Liu Yunzhang directly to the capital, this is a demonstration, this is the best embodiment of Li Rupei's strength.
After Li Rupei was canonized as a prince, Tian Lingzi has always felt uncomfortable and threatened, after all, the revenge of killing his father is not just talking, Liu Ziheng's ending, Tian Lingzi sees it in his eyes, maybe not a long time later, he will also end like this.
Such an outcome must never happen.
Tian Lingzi thought of a lot of ways, especially to strengthen the strength of Xichuan, he allocated a lot of money to Xichuan Jiedu envoy Chen Jingxuan, asked Chen Jingxuan to build Xichuan well, expand the army as much as possible, and strictly control the army, Cui Anqian served as the Xichuan Jiedu envoy, laid a very good foundation, after Chen Jingxuan arrived in Xichuan, as long as he did things honestly, there is no big problem to slowly expand his strength, it should be said that Chen Jingxuan also did it in accordance with such requirements.
Just when Tian Lingzi was happy to be able to temporarily unite with Yang Fuguang, Liu Yunzhang came to the capital and went to visit Yang Fuguang, which made Tian Lingzi tremble and made him feel angry.
Rumors against Zheng Jin came out in the court, and slowly words about the removal of Zheng Jin's position as prime minister also appeared, which was originally a good thing, after all, most of the civil and military ministers in the court were grass on the wall, and they saw such a situation. Naturally, they will alienate Zheng Jin, and when the time comes, the matter of removing Zheng Zheng will be much smoother.
It's a pity that Liu Yunzhang came to the capital, everything was disrupted, and no one knows what will happen next.
Tian Lingzi, who was angry, couldn't help but think wildly, if he wanted to talk about the dismissal of Zheng Jin, not many people knew about it, except for Yang Fuguang. The rest is Ma Tengyun, I don't know how this news was revealed, and I don't know how Li Rupei knew, so he actually sent Liu Yunzhang to the capital.
Ma Tengyun saw that Tian Lingzi's expression was very bad, and he didn't take the initiative to speak.
During this time, he has been paying close attention to the movements of the imperial court and the Shence army, and has made a full estimate, it should be said that the adjustment of Zheng Zheng will not cause much turmoil, and it is also through these observations that Ma Tengyun feels that Zheng Jin's influence in the capital is not very great. After all, he was not able to control the army, even if he was the first prime minister, he was not at the mercy of him.
It's a pity that Liu Yunzhang came to the capital, which Ma Tengyun also didn't expect.
Ma Tengyun has a deeper feeling for the Iron Army. After all, he had stayed in Liangzhou and Xiangyang for a period of time, and he still had an intuitive feeling about the strength of Lu Yanhong and Liu Ziheng, as well as the strength of the army under their command. In particular, the army in Xiangyang is strictly speaking stronger in combat than the Shence army, but it is such a strong army. In front of the Iron Army, it was extremely vulnerable, which shows that the Iron Blood Army is brave to an extraordinary degree.
In his heart, Ma Tengyun knew very well that if Li Rupei came to the capital with the iron-blooded army, the Shence army might only surrender obediently, and he didn't think about being able to resist at all.
It's a pity that he can't say such words, even in the face of Tian Lingzi.
Ma Tengyun felt surprised that Liu Yunzhang came to the capital, mainly considering Li Rupei's identity, after all, Li Rupei is a prince and a son of the Li Tang royal family, it is said that the situation of the Tang Dynasty should be maintained, as for being a feudal town in the local area, it is not a big deal, as long as it does not directly threaten the capital, this kind of apparent stability is no problem, and the strength of the iron-blooded army is also a great threat to the feudal towns in the north, so that these feudal towns dare not move.
It's a pity that Li Rupei didn't play cards according to the rules at all, and they directly sent Liu Yunzhang to the capital.
This made Ma Tengyun begin to reacquaint himself with Li Rupei, and felt that Li Rupei was probably much more vicious than he imagined, and he was also very decisive in doing things, and sometimes he didn't necessarily follow the rules to do things.
"Ma Tengyun, didn't our family say a long time ago that the matter of removing Zheng Zheng must be kept secret, but how did our family hear that it was spread in the imperial court, and Li Rupei, who was far away in Xiangyang, knew about it, and sent Liu Yunzhang to the capital, is this a demonstration, does Li Rupei think about rebellion and dare to interfere in the government affairs."
Tian Lingzi, who had a sharp voice, was extremely angry, and what he said was also very unpleasant.
Ma Tengyun's body trembled slightly, he knew Tian Lingzi very well, since Tian Lingzi said this in front of him, it was also suspected that he had leaked the news, no matter whether Liu Yunzhang came to the capital to demonstrate or not, he had to give a good explanation first.
"General, my subordinates have absolutely nothing to discuss, and the rumors that have come out of the court have also been heard by my subordinates, and my subordinates have also felt strange, and I don't know where these rumors come from."
Tian Lingzi squinted at Ma Tengyun and did not speak.
Ma Tengyun wiped the sweat drops from his forehead, and then spoke.
"The subordinates think that maybe this is the arrangement of Yang Shu's envoy, and the rumors that come out of the DPRK are mostly attacking Zheng Jin's incorruptibility, and there are also those who say that Zheng Zheng is not able to act well in the government, and his subordinates once wanted to prevent the emergence of these rumors, but when they saw Zheng Jin, they let it go, after all, the appearance of these rumors is very unfavorable to Zheng Jin, as for Li Rupei, he also knew about this matter and sent Liu Yunzhang to the capital, and his subordinates never knew about it."
Tian Lingzi did not directly suspect Ma Tengyun, after all, Ma Tengyun has always followed him and is his absolute confidant, it is impossible for Ma Tengyun to leak the news to Li Rupei, but Liu Yunzhang came to the capital and specially visited Yang Fuguang, which made Tian Lingzi suspicious, and he even thought about whether Yang Fuguang wanted to use this opportunity to attack him Tian Lingzi.
"Ma Tengyun, our family trusts you, you don't need to explain much, what our family is worried about is Yang Fuguang, and the matter of dismissing Zheng Zheng was brought up by Yang Fuguang, but after Liu Yunzhang came to the capital, he actually went to visit Yang Fuguang, can it be said that there is any kind of connection between Yang Fuguang and Li Rupei."
When Tian Lingzi said such words, Ma Tengyun showed a look of surprise on his face, but after thinking about it, in order to be able to compete for power, anything could happen.
"The subordinates understood, the general is not easy to come forward, and the subordinates came forward to visit the Yang Privy Envoy to see what the Yang Privy Envoy thinks."
Tian Lingzi shook his head, his face turning pale.
"No need, you go to visit Yang Fuguang, you won't get anything, maybe you will be bewitched by Yang Fuguang, this Yang Fuguang, our family has always wondered, why did you take the initiative to find our family, when it comes to supporting Wang Duo and dismissing Zheng Jin, in fact, there is not much contradiction between Yang Fuguang and Zheng Zheng, there are still many places that echo each other when discussing political affairs at the court meeting, and such a proposal suddenly appeared is strange enough, and our family didn't think much about it, so we agreed to Yang Fuguang's proposal."
Tian Lingzi's words were a little hurried, it didn't sound like anything, he just suspected Yang Fuguang, but the meaning of this, Ma Tengyun understood it very well, Yang Fuguang has always had a huge contradiction with Tian Lingzi, not only in the command of the Shence Army, but also in the appointment of court officials, maybe Yang Fuguang took advantage of this opportunity to calculate Tian Lingzi.
"General, my subordinates think that whether to dismiss Zheng Zheng is not the most important thing at present."
Tian Lingzi immediately turned his head and looked at Ma Tengyun.
"Tell me what is the most important thing at the moment."
"The subordinates think that there are two things, the first thing is to stabilize Liu Yunzhang, stabilizing Liu Yunzhang is equivalent to stabilizing Li Rupei, as long as there is no change in the iron-blooded army, everything will be fine, and the second thing is to announce the dismissal of Zheng Zheng to the public, and say what they really think, so that Liu Yunzhang and Zheng Zheng and others can understand that this is the idea of Yang Fuguang and Wang Duo, and it is definitely not the original intention of the general."
Tian Lingzi thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on Tie Qing's face.
"Very good, your suggestion is good, since Yang Fuguang wants to deal with our family, our family will let him not eat and walk around, you should do this matter immediately, don't visit Yang Fuguang, go directly to visit Liu Yunzhang, explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and send someone to contact Zheng Jin, our family doesn't want to dismiss Zheng Zheng, let Zheng Zheng and Yang Fuguang do it together, at that time, many things in our family will be easy to do."
"The general is wise, and his subordinates have one more thing to add, although Wang Duo is a guest of the prince, he still uses his influence to spread rumors in the court, and his subordinates suggest that this Wang Duo go to Luoyang in the east and not stay in Chang'an, so that Yang Fuguang will lack support."
"Okay, yes, Wang Duo, this old boy, thought that our family didn't want to deal with him, and during the banquet, he exchanged heads with Yang Fuguang, relied on the old and sold the old in the court, and let him go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to cheapen him, and it was not good for our family to give the emperor advice, let him go to the north and deal with those feudal towns."
After Ma Tengyun left, Tian Lingzi's mood fluctuated again.
Tian Lingzi, who was already narrow-minded, thought of what Yang Fuguang had done, the most taboo thing for eunuchs was to be used by others, which was a great shame and humiliation, and could not be forgotten for a lifetime, at this time, Tian Lingzi's heart was full of hatred and hatred for Yang Fuguang, he was going to make a move, first to deal with Yang Fuguang, including many eunuchs of the Yang family, he wanted Yang Fuguang and the Yang family to never turn over.
