Chapter 260: Turning things around
Yang Fuguang was not flustered at all, he didn't know how many such situations he had seen, if he was dejected by his opponent every time he said a few words, he would not be where he is today.
"General Tian's words are not acceptable to our family, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military all know, our family has always been in the capital, they are all loyal to the emperor, our family has also served the emperor, the emperor at least trusted our family, how did you get to General Tian, our family has the intention of rebellion, General Tian's words are too much."
Yang Fuguang pointed to Tian Lingzi's sore spot in a few words, everyone knows that Tian Lingzi was called his father by the emperor, when the emperor was alive, Tian Lingzi was unknown, and no one paid attention to it at all, but he relied on the unusual relationship with the emperor to be able to reach such a high position.
Tian Lingzi's face was flushed, and he couldn't speak, if he said that Yang Fuguang was also a rebel, the emperor would definitely not believe it.
"What our family means is just to ask the court to send someone to investigate, find out what happened, don't jump to conclusions so quickly, in case there is a reason, can it be said that the court is going to make a wrong decision."
Once people's minds change, the performance is obvious, if it is the night of the first day of the first lunar month, Yang Fuguang saw the emperor, maybe today's situation is very different, Yang Fuguang later also knew, Tian Lingzi was in the Linde Palace, was accompanying the emperor, which made Yang Fuguang not hesitate, he was completely clear about the relationship between Tian Lingzi and the emperor, it seems that the emperor is indeed attached to Tian Lingzi, this is a relationship established for a long time, and others cannot shake it.
However, Yang Fuguang will not speak directly for Li Rupei, there is still torment in his heart, after all, there is no eunuch in the Xiangyang Palace, which shows that Li Rupei's attitude towards eunuchs is very unfriendly.
There was silence in the hall for a moment, but the whispers reappeared.
There was no expression on the emperor's face, and he looked at the many civil and military ministers, as if he didn't want to speak.
It was at this time. Yan Fu opened his mouth to speak, instantly attracting all eyes and looks.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play."
The emperor looked at Yan Fu and didn't speak, just nodded slightly, Tian Lingzi, who was thinking of opening his mouth to reprimand, looked at Yang Fuguang not far away, but didn't speak.
"Your Majesty, what is the origin of Master Bi, the emperor must be clear. You also know that the prince made a decision last year to completely exterminate the Yellow Nest, but in this process, Bi Shiduo actually had a connection with the Yellow Nest, which surprised the prince, whether this matter exists, the prince does not dare to decide, but at this time. The Predator Army has begun to conquer the Yellow Nest, and the Emperor, the Iron-Blooded Army left Xiangyang and went deep into Jiangnan Province to exterminate the Yellow Nest. If at this time, there is a connection between Huang Chao and Bi Shiduo, what kind of situation will happen, so the prince wants to prevent it. The purpose of sending troops to Haozhou and Luzhou was to grasp the movements of Bi Shiduo and at the same time do a good job of corresponding vigilance. ”
"The development of the situation. Let the prince become more and more worried, entering Jiangnan Province to exterminate the Huangchao army, without the support of the government, and even part of the relationship, through the order of Bi Shiduo in all the provinces and camps, refused to provide food and grass, so that the iron-blooded army was struggling, in this case, the prince wrote a special letter, asking Bi Shiduo about the situation, asking Bi Shiduo to send a large army to exterminate Huangchao with the iron-blooded army, and complete the emperor's trust. ”
"But Bi Shiduo refused, which made the prince extremely angry, as the commander of all the provinces and camps, and won the emperor's trust, but Bi Shiduo did not want to serve the emperor, but asked the Yangzhou army to stand still, and at the same time asked the iron-blooded army to withdraw from Huainan Province, and ignored the prince's request for Jiangnan Province to help exterminate the Yellow Nest."
"What's more, Master Bi set up an ambush in Shuibo to attack the vanguard of the Iron and Blood Army."
"All these situations made the prince feel worried, if Bi Shiduo surrendered again and took refuge in Huangchao, the two armies would unite, which would make the imperial court completely lose control of the south, so that the prince made a decision to besiege Yangzhou, so that Bi Shiduo could not act, and could not unite with Huangchao."
"The iron-blooded army surrounded Yangzhou, but did not launch an attack, and the prince did not want such a situation, the minister here is a letter written by the prince, specially Chen Song to the emperor, because the situation is serious, the minister is afraid that the emperor will not be able to see the prince's handwritten letter, so he waited until today to Chen Song, and the minister implored the emperor to punish."
The letter was soon sent to the emperor by Chen Xuan.
The muscles on Yang Fuguang's face twitched slightly, and he sighed softly.
Tian Lingzi showed a sneering look on his face and spoke again.
"Yan Shilang said it so easily, the iron-blooded army has surrounded Yangzhou, and Li Rupei's letter has only arrived in the capital, doesn't Li Rupei know such a big thing, he must first report to the imperial court, Bi Shiduo rebelled against the imperial court There is no basis, Li Rupei can't make a conclusion, so he will attack Yangzhou on a large scale, if all the envoys from all over the country do this, what is the difference between it and rebellion."
As soon as Tian Lingzi's words fell, a voice sounded, and this voice surprised everyone.
It was Gao Biao who spoke, and Gao Biao who had been relegated to Luoyang.
"Your Majesty, the minister did not agree with General Tian's words, the minister knew that Bi Shiduo was a person, after the minister left Yangzhou, Bi Shiduo used despicable means to kill Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi, these two people surrendered with him, these three people used to be thieves, they were all officers under the command of Huang Chao, the minister also contacted the officers in the army some time ago, and learned some information, Bi Shiduo did contact Huang Chao, and Bi Shi Duo strictly ordered the army not to attack Huang Chao, but asked the army to find ways to deal with the iron-blooded army that helped drive away Huang Chao."
"The minister has a letter here, which can prove that Bi Shiduo does have signs of uniting with the Yellow Nest."
"The minister also once suspected that Bi Shiduo was already the envoy of the Huainan Festival, and concurrently served as the commander of all the Taoist camps, which can be said to have won the emperor's greatest favor, why would he do such a rebellious thing, and then the officers in the army told the truth, it turned out that Bi Shiduo wanted to be able to control the entire south, he did not think that he could exterminate the Yellow Nest, on the contrary, he thought that he could unite or annex the Yellow Nest and consolidate his position in the south, and then refused to obey the orders of the imperial court and set up another mountain."
When Gao Biao said this, many people began to talk again, Gao Biao's words are credible, the northern feudal towns have grown up in this way, and on the surface to maintain the rule of the imperial court, in fact, it has long been an independent kingdom, and the imperial court cannot meddle in these places at all, and these places have not paid taxes.
If the south is controlled by Bi Shiduo, the imperial court loses the taxes of the south, and it is basically difficult to maintain.
"The minister can also prove that the many turmoil in the south, including the turmoil of Wang Xu and others, has a direct relationship with Bi Shiduo, Bi Shiduo is thinking of using the turmoil in the south, to blackmail the imperial court, in order to achieve the purpose of serving as the Huainan Jiedu envoy, Bi Shiduo's purpose has been achieved, and the appetite is even greater, the minister still thinks that the imperial court appointed Bi Shiduo as the commander of all the roads, which is somewhat inappropriate, and Bi Shiduo is precisely because of the success of the treacherous scheme, so his appetite is getting bigger and bigger......"
Gao Yu's words have great lethality.
Although the ministers of civil and military affairs in the main hall would not fully believe these words, they knew that the situation was beginning to change.
Everyone knows that the iron-blooded army attacked Yangzhou, the same is to control the south, not to mention that this time it is Li Rupei, the king of Yi, who can control the south, if the army of Yangzhou is completely wiped out, the imperial court will completely lose its military strength in the south, and it will not be able to meddle in many things in the south in the future.
The south can't intervene, there are many feudal towns in the north, such a court exists in name only, and there are very few places that can be controlled, if the iron-blooded army continues to act and takes Xichuan and Dongchuan, I'm afraid the court will also look at Li Rupei's eyes and speak.
This truth is very simple, everyone understands it, in fact, at this time, many people also understand Li Rupei's ambition, maybe after the south is calmed down, the next step is the northern feudal town.
After all, Li Rupei is a child of the Li Tang royal family, and he still thinks of the world of the Tang Dynasty, so he does everything to put the imperial court in front.
What's more important is that Li Rupei is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Tian Lingzi's face has changed, Gao Yu's sudden attack was beyond his expectations, at this time, if he continued to adhere to the original point of view, no one would agree, and it took several days to persuade the emperor, but in the end it was like this.
Soon, Zheng Ji and others began to speak, they defended the words of Yan Fu and Gao Biao, and believed that the imperial court should send someone to investigate and find out the true face of the matter.
This kind of investigation is a joke, how can it be investigated clearly, no matter who is responsible for the investigation, they all have to speak for Li Rupei, the power of the people is so strong, if they are offended, do you want to mix it up in the future.
The emperor's face changed several times, and finally sighed helplessly.
"I was a little excited before, I said things that shouldn't be said, before the matter is clear, I can't make a decision easily, I think let the eastern capital stay Kan Zeyu to Yangzhou to investigate, I will set off tomorrow, I will wait to figure out the situation."
A menacing attack was defused, which can be said to be Tian Lingzi's biggest failure, and it is also a situation that Tian Lingzi did not expect at all.
From this moment on, Tian Lingzi began to do his best to support Dongchuan and Xichuan, he knew very well that only by managing Dongchuan and Xichuan well could he have a way out, and he could have a place to go when Li Rupei grew stronger.
The situation in the DPRK and China has also undergone tremendous changes, and the number of civil and military ministers who have taken refuge in Zheng Jin and Yan Fu has suddenly increased, and everyone can see the situation clearly, and everyone thinks that the rise of Li Rupei is an unstoppable thing.
