The emperor finally summoned Liu Yunzhang.

Liu Yunzhang has been in the capital for nearly a month, and he has not received news from the palace, in fact, he is very anxious, after all, Li Rupei is still waiting for news, before the matter in the capital is not over, the iron-blooded army will not enter Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan East Road to exterminate Huangchao for the time being, nor will it attack Bi Shiduo in Yangzhou, Li Rupei does not want to have too much change in the capital before the large-scale military operation is launched.

But time can't be delayed indefinitely, all the things that should be done have been done, and the effect is still good at present, at least Yang Fuguang's attitude is gradually clear, Wang Duo is also silent, as for Tian Lingzi, there has been no movement in the past few days, of course, all Zheng Jin's actions are absolutely confidential, and Tian Lingzi cannot know.

When he followed the eunuch into the Daming Palace, Liu Yunzhang was still a little apprehensive, this time he came to the capital, the task is arduous, the responsibility is heavy, and there can be no negligence, Li Rupei means that the capital must be stabilized, Xiangyang does not want to spend too much energy in the capital, at least a year or so, the focus of Xiangyang is in the south, so Liu Yunzhang's task in the capital is like a tongue war group and make full use of the relationship between all parties to win the most favorable situation in Xiangyang.

Everything in the palace has not changed, and the emperor is still acting in Daming Palace.

When entering the Zichen Palace, Liu Yunzhang sorted out his thoughts, for him, this time to Daming Palace is the last stop, once the emperor summons him, he will leave the capital and return to Xiangyang, Liangzhou still has a lot of things to deal with for him, which also involves the follow-up of the iron-blooded army grain and grass.

Zichen Hall is called the Inner Dynasty, it is the place where the emperor summons the ministers, relatively speaking, the Hanyuan Hall is called the Outer Dynasty, it is the place where the emperor holds major celebrations and court meetings, and the Xuanzheng Hall is called the Middle Dynasty. It is the place where the emperor listens to the government, and the early dynasty is carried out here, as for the Zichen Palace, it is the place where the emperor is in charge of daily government affairs, and the civil and military ministers who can enter the Zichen Palace have an unusual identity, which is called entering the cabinet, and the identity is not ordinary.

The emperor chose to summon Liu Yunzhang in the Zichen Palace, which shows the degree of attention.

Of course, Liu Yunzhang also learned through Yan Fu that the emperor has not changed much from before. Rarely go to the court, most of the early dynasties are presided over by Zheng Jin, under normal circumstances, the emperor is playful, according to rumors that polo is very good, the emperor once said that if playing polo is like the imperial examination, he can at least be admitted to the list.

When he heard these rumors, Liu Yunzhang shook his head again and again, the former emperor was negligent in political affairs. Respect for Confucianism led to too many things in the Tang Dynasty, and when the emperor succeeded to the throne, he was too young. It is understandable that he cannot change to act independently in government affairs, but now that the emperor is already 20 years old, he should have started to be diligent in government affairs a long time ago. Who knows if it's still so frolicking, what hope Datang has if it goes on like this.

Above the royal chariot, the emperor smiled. It looks very kind, but Liu Yunzhang has another idea, there is nothing wrong with describing the emperor with less and no more things, think about Li Rupei, who is younger than the emperor, and what can be done, where can the emperor above the emperor be compared.

"Liu Gong has been in the capital for more than a month, and I have always been busy with political affairs, so I was able to meet Liu Gong today."

"Your Majesty summoned me, and the minister is grateful."

"Duke Liu came to the capital this time, is there something wrong with King Yi?"

"Your Majesty, the minister brought a letter from the prince, specially for Your Majesty."

Liu Yunzhang held up the letter and handed it to the eunuch who walked to his side.

The emperor began to read the letter carefully, and Liu Yunzhang lowered his head, waiting for the emperor to speak again.

The inside of the Zichen Hall was very quiet, the emperor summoned him this time, and did not ask other ministers of civil and military affairs to accompany him, nor did he ask Tian Lingzi and Yang Fuguang and others to participate, which was a little strange, but Liu Yunzhang knew that the emperor had seen Tian Lingzi and Yang Fuguang and others before summoning him.

After a long while, the emperor spoke.

"After reading King Yi's letter, I am very ashamed, King Yi always thinks about the world of the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that I have exhausted my efforts, I have King Yi to rely on, I am very relieved, I hope King Yi can make persistent efforts."

Liu Yunzhang almost thought that he had heard it wrong, Li Rupei's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he is the biggest threat to the emperor, it can be said that he is directly threatening the emperor's throne, and the emperor can still say such words, I don't know if he really said this, or fooled people, but Liu Yunzhang thinks that the emperor does not have the ability to fool people, if the emperor has such a scheming, he will not let Tian Lingzi and others poison the court.

Liu Yunzhang is very clear that Li Rupei revealed in the letter that the iron-blooded army will completely exterminate the Yellow Nest, in fact, as long as you pay a little attention to this, you can understand the meaning, Tian Lingzi and others have already recommended Bi Shiduo to be the commander of all the Dao camps, that is, to ask Bi Shiduo to be responsible for the comprehensive eradication of the Yellow Chao and the pacification of the southern situation, under such circumstances, Li Rupei took the initiative to exterminate the Huang Chao, that is, he denied Tian Lingzi and others' proposal that Bi Shiduo be the commander of the Zhudao camp.

Although Li Rupei did not directly ask for the position of Song of the Commander of the Camp of All Ways in his letter, the meaning is very clear, can it be said that the emperor understands the meaning.

"The prince always thinks about His Majesty, always cares about the stability of the Tang Dynasty, the minister is very clear, the minister does not dare to have the slightest delay in Liangzhou, every moment to think of acting government affairs, if there is something that is not done well, the prince will be punished, will say that the minister is not loyal to his life, this time the prince in accordance with His Majesty's will, entered Huainan Road to exterminate Huang Chao, Wang Xu and other traitors, originally thought of being able to calm the situation in the south in one fell swoop, but unfortunately Huang Chao ran fast, left Huainan Road and entered Jiangnan Road, Wang Ye thought about the stability of the Tang Dynasty, Thinking that Huangchao has disturbed the Tang Dynasty for many years, he made up his mind to completely exterminate Huangchao, and the minister came to the capital on behalf of the prince this time to meet His Majesty, that is, to show the prince's intentions. ”

"Very good, I am very pleased, King Yi can always think about the Tang Dynasty, think about the court, I am more at ease, I don't know if Liu Gong came to the capital this time, did he bring any requirements, there is no need to hide in front of me, if there are any requests, I will definitely agree."

The emperor's attitude suddenly made Liu Yunzhang uncomfortable, this is too strange, it should be said that with the growth of Li Rupei's strength, the emperor's suspicion will become heavier and heavier, and he will never think that Li Rupei's strength will further grow, even if the emperor can't think of this, Tian Lingzi will definitely think of it, and he will remind the emperor all the time.

In Liu Yunzhang's view, the emperor does not have such a big belly, if he is really broad-minded, then he will pardon the king of Wei and the king of Shu in time, and will not let the tragedy of the royal family appear, but the emperor has no such will.

Liu Yunzhang is very calm, since the emperor asks him to speak, then he will not be polite, whether to agree or not is a matter decided by the emperor, and whether to mention it or not is his Liu Yunzhang's business.

"Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to make too many requests, only one point, I implore Your Majesty to issue an order, the iron-blooded army to exterminate the Yellow Nest, it is bound to enter all parts of Jiangnan Province, many of the Jiedu envoys are unwilling to support the situation, the prince is not easy to deal with, if the matter is to the extreme, the Jiedu envoy does not want to cooperate with the extermination of the Yellow Nest, but has doubts about the iron-blooded army, that will condone the Huangchao to continue to grow in strength, if His Majesty decrees, ask the support and cooperation of the Jiedu envoys in various places, the minister dares to guarantee, within a year, The Iron Blood Army will definitely be able to wipe out the Yellow Nest once and for all. ”

Liu Yunzhang, who lowered his head, was waiting for the emperor's reply.

However, after a long period of time, he never heard the emperor's voice, and Liu Yunzhang faintly understood something.

"Liu Gong's request, I think it is appropriate, but such a big matter, I can't make a decision alone, I need to discuss it in the early dynasty, I look at it, Liu Gong is waiting in the capital, once the court meeting discussion has a result, I will naturally make an order, King Yi can be anxious about what I am anxious about, I have an indescribable gratification, Huangchao has rebelled for many years, causing immeasurable damage to the Tang Dynasty, King Yi can take the initiative to take the responsibility of exterminating Huangchao, it is very rare."

Liu Yunzhang didn't look up, but his face turned a little pale, and he suddenly realized that he had been tricked.

The emperor asked him to make requests, saying that these requirements need to be discussed at the court meeting, but God knows when the court meeting will be discussed, if the court meeting does not discuss this matter for the time being, or someone deliberately delays, wouldn't it make him wait in the capital all the time, wouldn't it make Li Rupei wait in Xiangyang all the time, but he has already said this matter, if there is no emperor's will, Li Rupei led the iron-blooded army to exterminate the Yellow Nest without authorization, which is equivalent to violating the holy decree.

This is a dilemma.

Sweat was already pouring out of Liu Yunzhang's forehead, he originally thought that he could help Li Rupei win a better situation, but he didn't expect that he had done something bad with good intentions, so that Li Rupei and the Iron Blood Army were in a dilemma.

When leaving Daming Palace, Liu Yunzhang's face became gloomy, he finally knew the emperor's intentions, it seems that the emperor is very taboo Li Rupei, to put it mildly, Li Rupei's threat is even greater than Huang Chao, the emperor is afraid that he would rather Huang Chao make trouble in the south than Li Rupei gradually become stronger in the south.

Of course, the emperor has no way to restrict Li Rupei and the iron-blooded army, and it can be said that there is no one for the time being, but the emperor is the emperor after all, if he thinks about being radical and mobilizes the northern feudal towns to deal with the iron-blooded army, it will ruin Li Rupei's overall layout, which may have disastrous consequences, just imagine, the iron-blooded army is in front to exterminate the Yellow Nest, and the northern feudal towns are eyeing each other, and it is possible to send troops into Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road at any time, wouldn't this be a big trouble, not to mention Chen Jingxuan in Xichuan and Bi Shiduo in Yangzhou.
