The emperor's decree caused an uproar in the court and caused a huge shock in the northern feudal towns.

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, Tang Gaozu enshrined Tang Taizong as the king of Qin, and martial virtue for four years, because the merit of the king of Qin was too great, Tang Gaozu enshrined the king of Qin as the general of Tiance, who was above the kings, and concurrently served as Situ, Shaanxi Dongdao Daxingtai, and Shangshu Ling, and ordered that officials could be set up in the palace of the king of Qin, which also created conditions for the king of Qin to become the emperor in the future.

More than 200 years have passed, and no one could have imagined that this scene would appear again, the difference is that it was Li Rupei, the king of Fu, who was enshrined, but the emperor set up the Southern Dao Daxingtai, which violated the rules of the ancestors.

The place under the jurisdiction of Nanfang Dao Daxingtai is too large, if it is taken literally, all places in the south should be under the jurisdiction of Nanfang Dao Daxingtai, and such a power is incomprehensible and inappropriate in the eyes of ordinary people.

Besides, what kind of power does the Southern Dao Daxingtai have, whether it can directly determine the candidates for many festival envoys in the south, and from then on, whether the south is completely controlled by Li Rupei, the king of Fu, whether the imperial court can not interfere, as well as the collection of taxes, the allocation of the army, etc., these are all powers, and it is said that it should be all the power of the imperial court.

However, everyone can understand that the Iron Blood Army has controlled most of the places in the south, and now only Lingnan Road and Qianzhong Road are left untouched, if the Iron Blood Army is stationed in these two places, then all the places in the south are controlled by the Iron Blood Army.

From a practical point of view, the imperial court is unable to decide on many matters in the south.

Strength determines everything, the strength of the iron-blooded army gives Li Rupei enough confidence to decide everything in the south, which is no different from the feudal towns in the north, if the court wants to tear its face, the ending is afraid to be extremely miserable.

This is probably the emperor's helpless move.

Surprising things happened one after another.

On the tenth day of the first month of February, King Fu, Situ, Zhongshuling, and Li Rupei, the Daxingtai of Nanfang Dao, played a fold. recommended Cui Anqian as the special envoy of the Southern Dao Daxingtai, Qian Shiqu as the envoy of Huainan Province, Ma Haoxuan as the envoy of Shannan Dongdao, Yu Chenghui as the envoy of Jiangnan West Province, and Tan Mingxiao as the envoy of Jiangnan Dongdao, and at the same time implored the imperial court to open Enke and conduct the imperial examination in Xiangyang.

Li Rupei's request has exceeded the bottom line that the imperial court and the emperor can bear, and it has also made many feudal towns in the north focus their attention on the capital Chang'an.

Daming Palace. Zichen Palace.

Tian Lingzi is waiting for the emperor, Li Rupei's twists and turns made Tian Lingzi tremble, but also made him extraordinarily sober, according to the emperor's holy decree, Li Rupei, as a major member of the Southern Dao, has the right to directly decide the candidate for the assassination, only need to be filed with the ministry, and the emperor can issue a holy decree. However, the selection of the envoy is still in the hands of the imperial court, but this time, Li Rupei's approach. The imperial court has been completely excluded, and if the emperor approves Li Rupei's performance, the imperial court will completely lose control of the south, and the nominal control will no longer exist.

Tian Lingzi thinks a lot. The emperor ordered Li Rupei to serve as the Grand Xingtai of the Southern Road, but it was really helpless, after the iron-blooded army exterminated Huangchao. In fact, he controlled Jiangnan East Province and Jiangnan West Province, and it was impossible for Bi Shiduo of Huainan Province to hold out for a long time, especially after the emperor's holy decree was issued, Bi Shiduo's last insistence power also came to naught.

But the dignity of the emperor and the court must still be maintained, and the power must still be guaranteed.

The places that the imperial court can control now are only the capital Chang'an, the eastern capital Luoyang, as well as Henan Mansion, Henan Dao, Qianzhong Dao, Lingnan Dao, Dongchuan Dao and Xichuan Dao, etc., the north has always been controlled by the feudal town, the imperial court can not intervene, the south is basically controlled by Li Rupei, it is foreseeable that Qianzhong Road and Lingnan Dao will soon be controlled by Li Rupei.

Tian Lingzi grew up with the emperor, knew the emperor's temperament, the emperor did not suffer any hardship, he ascended the throne at the age of twelve, and most of the time was indulged in eating, drinking and having fun, which was also what Tian Lingzi was looking forward to, so for the rise of Li Rupei, the emperor was helpless, and simply let it go, and there was some indulgence.

Things have developed to this point, Tian Lingzi instead hopes that the emperor can show his majesty, reprimand Li Rupei fiercely, ask Li Rupei not to be too arrogant, and reprimand Li Rupei's words can only be said by the emperor, he, the general of the Shence Army, does not dare to speak, not to mention that Li Rupei is already the king of Fu and his status is above the kings.

When the emperor entered the Zichen Palace, he was listless and looked very bad.

Tian Lingzi knelt down in front of the emperor and began to cry.

The emperor did not help Tian Lingzi as before, but spoke coldly.

"Father, if you have anything, just say it directly, so there is no need."

Tian Lingzi quickly stopped crying and began to speak.

"Your Majesty, the slaves and maids are worried, His Royal Highness King Fu's twists and turns have caused a huge shock in the court, if the emperor can't reprimand His Royal Highness King Fu this time, I'm afraid that the ministers of civil and military affairs will be chilled."

"Father, tell me how I should reprimand King Fu, will I listen to my reprimand."

"The emperor reprimanded King Fu, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs will definitely respond, His Royal Highness King Fu has already shown signs of rebellion, and the appointment of the envoy of the festival and the imperial examination is a matter of the imperial court."

"Oh, according to my father's meaning, I also need to reprimand the feudal towns in the north, don't they also disobey the imperial edict of the imperial court, and don't even take me seriously, when will the imperial court be able to send officials to the north, Guannei Dao, Longyou Dao, Hedong Dao, Hebei Dao and even Henan Dao, when will I be able to appoint Jiedu envoys."

Tian Lingzi raised his head in horror and looked at the emperor with sharp eyes but weak energy.

Why did the emperor say such words, this is not like the words that the emperor can say, whether the emperor is bewitched by anyone, or it doesn't matter at all.

A chill appeared in Tian Lingzi's heart, and a bold idea also came out of his heart, in case the emperor was difficult to control, he could find a way to set up another emperor.

This idea was just a flash, and then it was forced down, now he relies on the emperor, can control the power of the court, once he leaves the emperor's support, or re-establish the emperor, it is possible to detonate the situation of the Tang Dynasty in an instant, and when the iron-blooded army enters the capital Chang'an, he is the biggest culprit, and in doing so, it gives Li Rupei a reason to enter the capital, maybe directly let Li Rupei become the emperor.

Tian Lingzi thought of Yang Fuguang, could it be that Yang Fuguang saw the emperor in advance.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Fu is a child of the Li Tang royal family, and the slave maid knows that the emperor values flesh and blood affection, and thinks that His Royal Highness King Fu is thinking about the world of the Tang Dynasty, but many feudal towns in the north are looking at what kind of decision the emperor makes, if the emperor approves His Royal Highness King Fu's recital, and many festival envoys in the north will not also make unreasonable demands, and the slave and maid are also considering from these aspects, and feel that His Royal Highness King Fu is thinking about seeking power, and he has not thought of the world of the Tang Dynasty at all."

A helpless sneer appeared on the emperor's face.

"Father is also very busy during this time, Xichuan has received too much military salary, grain and grass, and the rest of the places have already put forward their opinions, I have never known about this matter, can Father explain it."

Tian Lingzi's body trembled slightly, he immediately thought of Yang Fuguang, such a huge change in the emperor's attitude must have a direct relationship with Yang Fuguang.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged, the slave and maid are dedicated to the emperor, and there is no second heart......"

"I know that my father has no different intentions, but this is a matter involving King Fu, so don't worry about it, there is already a lot of grievances between my father and King Fu, if I behave too much in the court, some words I will not be able to say, King Fu's performance, I have already approved, if my father has nothing else to do, go down and rest."

After Tian Lingzi walked out of the Zichen Palace, his face immediately became gloomy, he decided that Yang Fuguang had made a move in advance, and he didn't know that he had made a mistake on such a major issue, which should not be.

When Ma Tengyun came in a hurry, Tian Lingzi had already calmed down.

"Ma Tengyun, it seems that the situation has really changed, our family is in the dark, this Yang Fuguang, our family wants to spare him, I can't think of making a move in front of our family, you arrange it immediately, within a month, our family wants Yang Fuguang to disappear completely, and Yang Fuguang's cousin Yang Fugong will also disappear together."

Ma Tengyun was dumbfounded, looking at Tian Lingzi, you must know that Yang Fuguang is a privy envoy, and his influence in the court is very great, and there are also some dependent forces, and more importantly, Yang Fuguang has an extraordinary prestige in the Shence Army, if the assassination of Yang Fuguang is exposed, don't say that he Ma Tengyun, even Tian Lingzi can hardly bear such consequences.

"General, this matter is too important, my subordinates suggest that we consider using other methods......

Before Ma Tengyun finished speaking, Tian Lingzi spoke gloomily.

"It's not that our family hasn't thought of other ways, Yang Fuguang has already acted, and when our family thinks of other ways, I'm afraid that the head has already landed, this matter doesn't need to be discussed, you don't want to say anything else, go and arrange it immediately, what you have to do is foolproof, as long as Yang Fuguang disappears, our family can do the rest of the things."

After Ma Tengyun left, a man in black came in.

Tian Lingzi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the man in black.

"Immediately send the letter to Xichuan and hand it to Chen Jingxuan in person, and tell him at the same time to try to keep a low profile during this time, don't show off, and don't cause trouble......"

After the man in black left, Tian Lingzi's face showed a gloomy and vicious look, he had worked hard for so many years to get to his current position, thinking about making him give up, it was not so simple. (To be continued......)
