Chapter 347: The heart is like ashes
In fact, in the relatively densely populated capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang, it is almost impossible for the whereabouts of the 90,000 army to be completely secret, and Li Rupei had no intention of keeping it secret, after all, his prestige is not the same, and going north is also in line with most wishes, in this case, it is not interesting to do things secretly.
The news that the Iron Blood Army was about to march towards the north soon entered the capital through some channels.
Yang Fugong learned the news for the first time, after all, he was most concerned about these situations, at this time, Li Maozhen had not yet left the capital, and the negotiation between the two did not mention too many details, many things were just their expectations, when to take action It is necessary to combine the actual situation, and the two are not willing to reveal too many details to each other, so that the other party can fully grasp it.
After getting the news, the first thing that Yang Fugong thought of was to verify it immediately, after all, this was a big thing, and at the same time, he sent a messenger to inform Li Maozhen again that he would stay in the capital for a few more days, and the two still had a lot of big things to discuss, and the details also needed to be implemented.
Li Maozhen was a little impatient, after all, his focus was not on the capital Chang'an, if Li Rupei planned to get involved in the capital, he needed to return to Fengxiang as soon as possible and make all the corresponding preparations, this is a wise move, stay in Chang'an, and the discussion between Yang Fugong and Yang Fugong cannot have too many results.
In desperation, Yang Fugong could only inform Li Maozhen of the news he had received, suggesting that he was considering taking action immediately if necessary. After Li Maozhen learned the news, he was not in a hurry to leave the capital immediately, after all, he needed to know Li Rupei's specific actions and deployments, so that he could prepare in a targeted manner.
Yang Fugong and Li Maozhen neither expected that the Iron Blood Army would move so quickly. So much so that they simply did not have enough time to prepare for what they were discussing, and their plans could not be fully realized.
Daming Palace.
Li Yi already knew the exact news, and the Fu King Li Rupei would lead the army of the Iron Blood Army to the capital Chang'an.
I don't know why, Li Yi suddenly had a relaxed feeling in his heart, this scene is going to appear sooner or later, since Li Rupei was named the King of Yi, Li Yi has expected this scene.
Although the specific information has not yet come to the capital, Li Yi has been ready and has been the emperor for more than ten years. From the age of twelve to the age of twenty, Li Yi almost did not do a serious thing, and after so many years, he encountered Tian Lingzi's insult during the period, which was the most impressive, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life, but it is a pity that the imprint left by Tian Lingzi will never be eliminated.
Since his accession to the throne. Li Yi thought of having fun, and he didn't have the heart to act in government affairs at all, and almost all the affairs in the court were decided by Tian Lingzi. Later, Tian Lingzi was captured, and Yang Fugong became a lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army and a Zuo Privy Envoy, and it didn't take long for the previous scene to be completely restored. Li Yi rarely went to court, and basically had no chance to call the shots.
It's not that Li Yi doesn't want to control power, but he can't. Yang Fugong's means are very good, it can be said that he is even more powerful than Tian Lingzi, the minister of civil and military affairs in the court, as well as the left and right Shence army, are completely controlled by Yang Fugong, Li Yi has no chance to take power at all, let alone deal with Yang Fugong.
Li Yi has never understood why Yang Fugong was in the same situation after Tian Lingzi's death, and it was this kind of bitterness that Li Yi even said in person that he would give up the throne to Li Rupei.
Of course, it is not so simple to really ask Li Yi to give up the emperor's throne, Li Yi may not be willing, and even if he gives up the emperor's position, what kind of treatment will he suffer, it is not easy to say.
Li Yi does not plan to leave the capital, even if the iron-blooded army enters the capital Chang'an, he does not plan to leave, no matter what, he is the emperor, if he leaves the capital rashly because he is afraid of Li Rupei and the iron-blooded army, I am afraid that it will make the world laugh, he, the emperor, is nothing in the eyes and hearts of civil and military officials.
Li Yi knew that at this time, Yang Fugong was afraid that he was going to come to Daming Palace, it should be said that Li Rupei's entry into the capital had a very great impact on Yang Fugong, according to Li Rupei's character and temper, Yang Fugong could not control any power.
Li Yi once tried to send some eunuchs to King Fu's mansion, but this suggestion was categorically rejected by Li Rupei, who made it very clear that there was no need for eunuchs in the palace.
Li Yi believed that Li Rupei may have hated eunuchs because of the King of Wei.
Li Yi's view of eunuchs is very complicated, from childhood to adulthood, he is basically surrounded by eunuchs, especially Tian Lingzi, who was just a lowly eunuch back then, was very concerned about him, living and eating, etc., serving very thoughtfully, the fate of the prince is not very good, at least it is difficult to see his father and mother, he has lacked family affection since he was a child, Li Yu is like this, rarely sees his father and mother, loneliness is beyond words, and it is precisely because of this reason that Tian Lingzi, who accompanied him, was completely trusted.
After Li Yu ascended the throne, Tian Lingzi was the most trusted, so Tian Lingzi became a lieutenant in the Zuo Shence Army in a short period of time and controlled the forbidden army.
When Li Yi ascended the throne, he was only twelve years old, not to mention acting in charge of the affairs of the imperial court, even if there were many truths, he did not particularly understand, so the major matters in the imperial court were basically decided by Tian Lingzi.
The continuation of this situation gradually led to the outbreak of the conflict later, and Tian Lingzi, who was in a daze, finally exposed his true face, which made Li Yi suffer a great insult, and his majesty and self-confidence were gone, and even the concubines in the harem couldn't eat enough, and the palace maid was dragged out by Tian Lingzi and directly insulted to death.
Yang Fugong contacted the feudal towns in the north to enter the king of Jingqin, and achieved success, and the forces of Tian Lingzi, Ma Tengyun and Liu Jurong were completely wiped out.
Yang Fugong is more powerful than Tian Lingzi, he has already secretly arranged everything, and then cleaned up the opportunities for Tian Lingzi, Ma Tengyun, Liu Jurong and others to leave poison, wantonly cleaned up the civil and military ministers and eunuchs, and adopted the means of prospering those who obey me and those who oppose me, not only cleaning up the officials and eunuchs, installing many henchmen, but also limiting Li Yi's power.
When the matter of cleaning up the poison of Tian Lingzi and others was about to end, Li Yi found that Chang'an, the capital city, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, were strictly controlled by Yang Fugong, and officials at all levels were loyal to Yang Fugong, and no one should think about shaking it.
It's too late to regret it, Li Yi, who has suffered twists and turns, knows very well that he has no room for resistance, and this puppet emperor is going to continue to do it.
The only thing worth consoling about Li Yi, who is self-numb, is that Yang Fugong's attitude has always been very respectful, because the increase in taxes has also tried to satisfy the supply of the palace.
It can't be said that Li Yi didn't work hard, he also tried to find a way to contact Li Maozhen, the envoy of Fengxiang Festival, after all, Li Maozhen was personally promoted by him, but unfortunately the result of the contact was lost in the sea, and there was no reaction.
Li Yi is a victim of the dictatorship of eunuchs and the division of feudal towns, this is a very clear thing, everyone knows it, and everything that Fu King Li Rupei did was to break these tumors of the Tang Dynasty.
But from another aspect, Li Yi's ability has also been questioned, he ascended the throne at the age of twelve, he is too young, and he doesn't know how to be a good emperor, it is said that at such an age, there should be someone to assist strongly, and teach Li Yi how to act in national affairs, but unfortunately, Li Yi is addicted to amusement, and has not thought about how to learn at all, and Tian Lingzi, who controls the situation, does not want Li Yi to learn, let alone Li Yi's ability to increase.
Under such circumstances, Li Yi, who is incapable, even if he is old, thinks that he can act in charge of the government and can deal with national affairs, but he does not have that ability, he can only be manipulated.
After twists and turns, Li Yi understood some truths, and he also wanted to be able to reform himself, but unfortunately he didn't have such a good opportunity, let alone lofty ambitions.
If Li Yu is low-key, if he can think about the world of the Tang Dynasty, there is also a chance, that is, to decisively contact Li Rupei, let Li Rupei enter the capital, and preside over the government, which is the best way, but unfortunately this best way, because of the relationship between King Wei, can not be realized at all.
When waiting for Yang Fugong in Zichen Palace, Li Yu's heart was numb, and he even thought of telling the world when Li Rupei entered the capital that he would give up the throne to Li Rupei, as long as he could live a good life, but unfortunately these were all inner thoughts, no one could discuss, and besides, he himself had no way to do such a major thing.
The eunuch reported the news that Yang Fugong had come to Daming Palace, Li Yu did not have any reaction, did not say that he wanted to see Yang Fugong, nor did he say that he could not see Yang Fugong, according to the past habits, Yang Fugong would wait outside the Zichen Palace for a period of time, and then the eunuch came in again to report, but this time the situation was different, Li Yi, who was still in contemplation, raised his head and saw that Yang Fugong was already standing in the hall.
What surprised Li Yi even more was that Yang Fugong's side actually stood Feng Xiang Jiedu envoy Li Maozhen.
Seeing this scene, Li Yu's face finally changed, needless to say, after Yang Fugong learned the news that Li Rupei was about to enter the capital Chang'an, he discussed with Li Maozhen alone, and had reached a consensus that he, the dignified emperor of the Tang Dynasty, didn't know anything.
