Chapter Twenty-Four: Troubled Times (Part II) [Seventh Update]

The herald abruptly agreed, turned around and flew to give the order.

After a while, the progress of the attacker accelerated abruptly, and a group of brave generals with high cultivation personally fought as the front, and the Xichuan tribe that was blocking the front was quickly disrupted by the formation.

Seeing this scene, Tian Lingzi finally showed a smile: "This is like words." ”

Prime Minister Chen Jingxuan stood beside Tian Lingzi, quietly wiped a cold sweat, and looked at Tian Lingzi's gaze, full of fear.

After Tian Lingzi escorted Li Yan to Chengdu, in order to quickly control Xichuan, he held the military and political power in his hands, and had a very thunderous means.

First of all, Tian Lingzi wooed Chen Jingxuan, the leading figure of Xichuan civil officials, and after getting the loyalty of the other party, he played Li Yan to worship Chen Jingxuan as the prime minister, and Li Yan played it accurately. Because of this, Tian Lingzi firmly controlled the Xichuan civil official group in his hands.

Subsequently, Tian Lingzi asked Chen Jingxuan to play, and asked Li Ling, one of the two generals of the Xichuan Army, to lead the army to crusade against Huangchao, and Li Yan certainly had no reason not to agree.

After Li Ling led the army to leave Xichuan, the power of the Xichuan army was greatly weakened, and Tian Lingzi took the opportunity to reward the soldiers and horses who guarded Li Yan's entry into Sichuan, but only the Xichuan army was not given.

Of course, Guo Qi, another member of the Xichuan Army, was dissatisfied, but now Li Yan was in Xichuan, and he still had to rely on their Xichuan Army to protect him, so he boldly encouraged his subordinates to make a rebellion, in order to ask for a reward.

As soon as the Xichuan army was in chaos, Tian Lingzi immediately mobilized the various armies arranged in advance to besiege the Xichuan army camp.

Chen Jingxuan looked at the Xichuan army, which was gradually losing and had shown signs of defeat, sighed secretly, and said in his heart: "Guo Qi is finished, Tian Lingzi can take advantage of the situation to control the Xichuan army, and from now on, the military and political power of Xichuan will fall into the hands of Tian Lingzi." ”

As Chen Jingxuan expected, within half an hour, the Xichuan army was completely defeated.

After this battle, Guo Qi fled from Xichuan alone, went down the river, and went east to Guangling to take refuge in Gao Piao.

After the matter of the military camp was resolved, Chen Jingxuan followed Tian Lingzi back to the city, Tian Lingzi went to report to Li Yan on the battle situation of "quelling the rebellion", and Chen Jingxuan went straight to the Yamen of Zhongshu Province.

When Li Yan fled Chang'an, although the officials of the three provinces and six ministries did not take it with him, since he temporarily settled down in Chengdu, the three provinces and six ministries should be re-operational, otherwise wouldn't the emperor become an ornament?

After Chen Jingxuan sat down in Zhongshu Province, the Zhongshu people brought a bunch of pieces for Chen Jingxuan to check. The recitals of officials at all levels will first be gathered in Zhongshu Province, and after the prime minister has read them, he will decide which ones to submit to the emperor and which ones to handle on his own.

The territory of the imperial dynasty is vast, if it is a trivial matter, the emperor has to make an idea, then no matter how powerful the emperor is, he will be tired to death, and the prime minister will not be called the prime minister who leads hundreds of officials and presides over political affairs.

Chen Jingxuan flipped through the half-day recital, his eyes suddenly froze, he carefully took the recital in his hand, and read it again from beginning to end, he took a deep breath, did not dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly accepted the recital and went to see Tian Lingzi.

Seeing Tian Lingzi, Chen Jingxuan trembled and took out the chapter from his sleeve and handed it to the other party: "Zuo picks up Meng Zhaotu, asks His Majesty to remove the power of eunuchs, and give real power to the prime minister and other ministers, in his words, there are quite disrespectful words, and he also says that eunuchs are all scourges......"

Tian Lingzi had just met Li Yan, not surprisingly, he quickly quelled the rebellion and was praised by Li Yan, he was in a good mood at the moment, he picked up the song and glanced at it, his eyes suddenly became cold, obviously Meng Zhaotu's wording made him feel bad.

Tian Lingzi returned the recital to Chen Jingxuan, and said coldly: "Spread the decree and belittle Meng Zhaotu as the Jiazhou Sihu." ”

Chen Jingxuan was shocked, and hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

Tian Lingzi said that he was preaching the will, of course, he was preaching Li Yan's will, but Li Yan did not have a will, so Tian Lingzi was a fake decree...... Tian Lingzi didn't even bother to find Meng Zhaotu's pigtails, and directly belittled him by pretending to pass on the holy decree!

Chen Jingxuan broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and hurriedly retreated, as for the twists and turns, naturally Li Yan would not know.

After Chen Jingxuan left, Tian Lingzi beckoned, and immediately a eunuch came to listen to the order, and he only said three words: "Meng Zhaotu." ”

The eunuch didn't ask much, didn't even hesitate, and retreated directly.

Killing a left pick-up is not the same as killing a Sihu who has been degraded and released.

After dealing with this matter, Tian Lingzi regained his composure, picked up the tea brought by a little eunuch, and tasted it carefully.

From time to time, a eunuch led a man who looked like a scribe to Tian Lingzi.

"Shi Pu, the lowly probation general, recorded the matter and met the lieutenant!" the scribe bowed down in the hall when he entered the door.

Tian Lingzi leisurely tasted the fragrant tea, and did not raise his head: "I heard that Shi Pu killed Zhixiang?

The scribe hurriedly took out a red ironing post from his bosom, held it high above his head, and handed it to Tian Lingzi. The eunuch next to him took the post and sent it to Tian Lingzi to open it. Tian Lingzi glanced at it twice, and there was a smile in his eyes, of course, this is not an excerpt of a performance, but a gift list.

Tian Lingzi took a sip of tea and said slowly: "How did Zhixiang die?"

The scribe immediately replied, "Death." ”

Tian Lingzi nodded: "Jiedu makes him sick and dies in office, and the probation army cannot be left without an owner for a day. ”

The scribe was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed again: "Thank you, Lieutenant, for your success!"

Soon after the scribe retired, another eunuch led a middle-aged man with an elegant face into the house. After the middle-aged man saw the ceremony, he didn't say a word, and directly presented the gift list first. After seeing that Tian Lingzi was satisfied, he said: "Caizhou Assassin History Qin Zongquan, Bao Wang Xu is the Shouzhou Assassin History." ”

Tian Lingzi said lightly: "Yes." ”

"Lieutenant Xie!"

Wang Xu of Shouzhou was originally just a butcher, but because he saw the chaos in the world, he and his brother-in-law Liu Xingquan gathered together to make a mess and captured the Shouzhou official mansion. Afterwards, Wang Xu bribed Qin Zongquan and asked him to make a history of assassination, and Qin Zongquan got the goods and was naturally willing to serve.

Tian Lingzi took bribes and sold his official position, and his life was very happy.

Zuo left Meng Zhaotu, the loyal minister, known as a good reputation, but because of the conviction of words, was demoted, he just left Chengdu, before he walked out of the hundred miles, he was assassinated by the river.

After the news spread, the sky was angry and people complained, and the history recorded, blood and water fell in the sky in Jingling, and the frost in Hedong hit the seedlings, and the meteors fell in Chengdu like rain. For a time, rebellions broke out, and the world fell into chaos. The feudal town was even more detached from Germany, unwilling to fight Huangchao, and the pace of attacking Tongguan with the Pinglu Army and the Zhongwu Army was delayed.

Suddenly, one day, a eunuch eagerly came to report to Tian Lingzi: "Your Majesty has summoned Wang Duo." ”

"Wang Duo?" Tian Lingzi was slightly stunned.

Wang Duo has been demoted for many years, and when Lu Yan was in power, he was squeezed out of Chang'an, and at this time Li Yan actually summoned Wang Duo, which made Tian Lingzi unexpected.

In the palace hall, Wang Duo knelt on the ground, Li Yan read the recital handed by Wang Duo, glanced at the other party, and muttered: "Aiqing's matter King An has already had a recital with me, Zheng Ji is useless, he was driven out of Fengxiang, and Guanzhong can't be without a minister in charge and commanding the soldiers and horses of the Quartet." Originally, according to my meaning, I planned to use King An to order the towns of the world, but King An said that he was still young and could not convince the public, so he recommended Aiqing. Aiqing's talent, I have always known, although you were demoted and released before, but it was all Lu Yan's trouble, and when I was in Chang'an, I did Lu Yan. This time, I hope that Aiqing will not live up to King An's recommendation, and I have high hopes, and lead the troops to level the dog thief in Huangchao!"

Wang Duo grabbed the ground with his head: "Ten thousand ministers die to repay the grace of the saint!"

Li Yan rubbed his eyebrows tiredly: "The world also says that Gao Yu is a great talent, but I asked him to send troops to fight for thieves, but he watched left and right, and he didn't come out for a long time. Alright, go down, prepare early, and set off on a certain day. ”

On the tenth day, Li Yan issued an order to take Wang Duo as the commander of all the roads and camps, and to lead the world's soldiers and horses to exterminate Huangchao.

After Tian Lingzi heard the news, he was so angry that he dropped the teacup, and he said angrily: "Our family is afraid that King An will have the power of the army, so we keep giving advice to Your Majesty, and under the guise of King An's young and young qualifications, let Your Majesty not ask King An to lead all the soldiers and horses, but I didn't expect King An to be so ruthless, even Wang Duo's old horseman moved out, which made our family hate!"

The relationship between Wang Duo and Li Ye, Tian Lingzi naturally knows, how could Wang Duo lead the troops, how could Li Ye suffer?

Wang Duo has a virtuous name, I heard that he was ordered to go on an expedition, the hearts of the people in the world were uplifted, and I heard that Li Ye, the king of An, led an army of more than 100,000 people, and was approaching Tongguan, and all sides were crusading against the feudal army of Huangchao, so the morale soared.

......

Dai State.

The weather was just right, the sun was shining, and Li Keyong, who was neatly dressed, was practicing his riding and archery skills on the school field. But seeing him galloping on his horse, he loosened the reins with both hands, drew his bow and arrows, and shot seven arrows in a row, and a hundred paces away, on the wooden frame where the copper kettle was hung, the ropes broke one by one, and all seven copper kettles fell to the ground.

Such a skill immediately applauded Li Keyong's win, and the officers and men in the army who observed it all clapped their hands and applauded loudly.

Li Keyong reined in the war horse, raised his longbow in high spirits, and was about to say something to encourage the soldiers to practice well, when he suddenly saw the crowd outside, and the monk Huiming bowed to him with his hands folded.

He knew that the other party had something to look for him, so he didn't stay any longer, turned over and dismounted, and walked straight through the crowd, and came to Huiming, "What's the matter with the master?"

The general entered the account and spoke. Huiming didn't say it directly, but turned around and walked into the big tent with Li Keyong, and then glanced at Li Keyong, who had been with Huiming for a long time, and understood each other, so he immediately understood, so he asked the scribes in the tent to retreat.

Huiming and the others walked away, and then slowly spoke: "The time has come for the general to send troops." ”

Li Keyong was stunned, and looked at Huiming a few times, but the monk still looked like Gu Bo was not shocked, and he couldn't see anything except the holy color on his face.

After walking to the main seat and sitting down, Li Keyong looked at Huiming and said in a deep voice: "The day before yesterday, I received the news that Li Ye defeated Zhu Wen and conquered Dengzhou, and the general said that he was going to send troops, this is a good opportunity for Wang Shi to turn the tide of the battle, and the master said that the time has not come." Later, I heard that Zhu Wen was defeated in Guanzhong, Feng Xiang and other towns could not shrink, and the general said that he could send troops. Right now, Meng Zhaotu is unjustly dead, the world is full of chaos, and the hearts of the Tang family have almost disappeared, why does the master say that the time has come?"
