Chapter 203 Victory

When Tian Lingzi got up, he still felt tired and didn't have a good rest all night. It felt very uncomfortable. But there was a morning court today, and there were major events happening in the morning court, so he had to hold on.

When the civil and military officials in the court saw him, Tian Lingzi, they all looked envious or awe. However, deep down, Tian Lingzi still had too many worries. He spared no effort to seize power, and arranged many people to serve in the army, and served as a military governor in the local area. The purpose was to prevent someone from plotting against others. Everyone wanted to gain power, and eunuchs were no exception.

Because of the incomplete body, eunuchs are more sensitive than ordinary people, so they can find clues from others' every move, predict many dangers in advance, and eliminate the threat in its infancy. The conflict between civil and military officials in the court is very large. The change of Ganlu Temple has not been long, and the struggle between the prime minister and the eunuch will never end. The struggle between eunuchs and eunuchs is even more cruel. It is precisely because of this situation that Tian Lingzi was very careful, fearing that one day he would be plotted against by others.

It is not as simple as saying that it is said. Over the years, Tian Lingzi has done enough bad things, although these bad things are all for the purpose of stabilizing his own power.

Li Rupei wrote a letter in person, which surprised Tian Lingzi very much. Before opening the letter, he was secretly happy. Could it be that Li Rupei abandoned hatred and was willing to work with him, so that his status could be unprecedentedly stable?

Because of the rise of Li Rupei and the Iron Blood Army, Tian Lingzi's power in the court has been affected to a certain extent. Although the current impact is not very large, as the Iron Blood Army continues to grow, this impact will become increasingly huge. This has become Tian Lingzi's heart disease. Whenever he thinks of Li Rupei and the Iron Blood Army, Tian Lingzi feels heartache.

I couldn't wait to open the letter. After reading it, Tian Lingzi stood up in anger and cursed.

Fortunately, he was alone in the study, otherwise outsiders would be shocked to see his appearance. Who has such great ability to make Tian Lingzi, who is in power, curse without regard for his gentleness.

Even though he was scolding, after calming down, Tian Lingzi looked at the letter carefully again. His face turned slightly pale. He knew very well that what he was worried about would happen sooner or later.

At night, Tian Lingzi had many nightmares, dreaming that he was beheaded by Li Rupei.

Officials of the fourth rank or above in the capital were concentrated in Xuanzheng Hall.

This is just an ordinary morning court, which will last about an hour. The morning court has become a form a long time ago. Sometimes the emperor will not participate in the morning court, and the matters that need to be discussed have been determined privately. Civil and military officials are also used to it. The morning court is equivalent to Dianmao. If you are lucky, the emperor may give him a banquet. There is nothing else.

The emperor took up the Xuanzheng Hall and the morning dynasty officially began.

The presidency of the morning court was still Prime Minister Zheng Ting.

As soon as the morning court began, Zheng Ting took out the memorial.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"What's the matter with Mr. Zheng?"

The hall suddenly became quiet. As soon as the morning court began, Zheng Ting had something to report, and he was so anxious.

"Liu Ziheng, the governor of Shandong East Road, wrote a memorial to resign and apologize. He recommended Pingzhang, and the Minister of War Cui Anqian served as the governor of Shandong East Road."

As soon as these words came out, the hall was quiet for a moment, and a buzzing discussion immediately appeared. Zheng Ting actually reported such a big thing. This is so strange. Who doesn’t know that Liu Ziheng is Tian Lingzi’s confidant? Is Zheng Ting thinking about challenging Tian Lingzi at the court meeting? Will there be fierce debates in the morning court?

Or it is a trap, waiting for Ama Daha to come forward to express his opinion.

The emperor was also stunned. It should be a very important matter to adjust the affairs of the Jiedushi. Although the emperor was very casual about the adjustment of the Jiedushi and once decided to choose the Jiedushi by playing polo, the Jiedushi Chen Jingxuan of Xichuan is Tian Lingzi's brother, and this matter has long been concluded.

"Liu Ziheng colluded with Huang Chao and planned to attack the eastern capital Luoyang and the capital Chang'an. I have Liu Ziheng's confession letter in his hand, as well as letters between Liu Ziheng and Huang Chao. In addition, Liu Ziheng exploited the people in Xiangyang, making the people unable to live and forced to become refugees. After His Highness the Yi King defeated Huang Chao, less than 30,000 bandits under Huang Chao fled to Huainan Road, and were close to Suizhou, Yingzhou and Fuzhou, which were close to the east of Shannan Road. Liu Ziheng deliberately exploited the people, causing a large number of refugees to appear. These refugees had no way to survive and defected to Huang Chao, resulting in the increase of bandits under Huang Chao to more than 100,000, which became a huge hidden danger to our Tang Dynasty..."

The faces of some officials changed.

Liu Ziheng not only secretly colluded with Huang Chao, but also helped Huang Chao attack the capital and Dongdu on the one hand, and helped Huang Chao strengthen his team. What exactly did Liu Ziheng want to do?

The emperor almost didn't believe his ears. He still knew that Liu Ziheng was nothing more than Tian Lingzi's confidant. He had to look at Tian Lingzi's face when doing anything. How could he collude with Huang Chao?

But after a little thought, the emperor understood something.

The eunuch presented letters and memorials, and the emperor began to look carefully.

The discussion in the hall still did not stop, but the voice became much smaller, and most of the eyes were aimed at Zheng Ting, Tian Lingzi, Cui Anqian and others. Many civil and military ministers began to believe that perhaps this matter was true, otherwise Tian Lingzi would have spoken long ago, but everyone didn't understand why such a thing happened.

"I never expected that Liu Ziheng would do such a thing."

The emperor's emotions were obviously fluctuating, and his eyes quickly shifted to Tian Lingzi.

Tian Lingzi, who had been lowering his head, finally raised his head and spoke with a bitter expression.

"Your Majesty, Liu Ziheng is crazy. I just learned that Liu Ziheng committed an unforgivable crime. I think I should be executed by Lingchi..."

The discussion appeared again, and even the emperor was surprised. He could not imagine why Tian Lingzi said such words, which was inconsistent with Tian Lingzi's habits.

Zheng Ting looked at Tian Lingzi without hiding the surprised expression on his face. At this time, he thought of Li Rupei. He didn't know what method Li Rupei used to force Tian Lingzi to express his opinion like this.

Liu Jurong's face turned pale. I wonder why Tian Lingzi said such words. He was once the governor of Shandong Dongdao, but unfortunately he was forced to leave Shandong Dongdao and enter the court. According to his understanding, Zheng Ting proposed to adjust the candidates for Shandong Dongdao's governor. This was almost impossible to complete, but Tian Lingzi showed no objection.

"My father is still devoted to the court."

The emperor said this sentence rather than comforting Tian Lingzi, it was better to point out the meaning behind it.

Zheng Ting would not miss such an opportunity and spoke up.

"Your Majesty, I think it is appropriate for Mr. Cui to be the governor of Shandong East Road. Although Liu Ziheng gave up his heinous crimes, he recommended Mr. Cui to be the governor of Shandong East Road. After careful consideration, Mr. Cui has outstanding abilities and will definitely be able to manage Shandong East Road well and eliminate the rebel Huang Chao..."

The emperor did not speak, but at this time Tian Lingzi continued to speak.

"I agree, I think that Mr. Cui will be the governor of Shandong East Road and will definitely be able to return Shandong East Road..."

The court lasted for more than an hour. At the end, Cui Anqian was already the governor of Shandong East Road, and as Ping Zhangshi, he also served as the governor of Shandong East Road.

Shannan East Road is close to Shannan West Road. Li Rupei is the governor of Shannan West Road. Cui Anqian is Li Rupei's father-in-law. If these two people can join forces, everyone will know what it means.

When the court was dispersed, Zheng Jie and Cui Anqian both had relaxed smiles on their faces.

Shence Army Camp.

Ma Huateng was puzzled and didn't know why Tian Lingzi agreed to Zheng Ting's proposal. Although Liu Ziheng would not die for the time being, the morning court did not decide how to deal with Liu Ziheng, but only asked to escort Liu Ziheng to the capital. However, after losing the Shandong East Road in Shannan, what value does Liu Ziheng have? What is the effect of returning to the capital? Besides, Liu Ziheng knows too many secrets. If something happens on the road, wouldn't it be a big deal for Tian Lingzi?

Looking at Ma Huateng's expression, Tian Lingzi's face turned pale.

"You don't need to say more, and don't ask. Li Rupei is awesome and has seized the handle of our family. The court is unstable. Yang Fuguang and others are eyeing each other. If they know someone's handle, how can someone gain a foothold in the court?"

"I understand. The general supports Cui Anqian as the governor of Shandong East Road in the court today. I believe Li Rupei will not make any other moves. If he tear his face apart, everyone's face will not look good. However, if Liu Ziheng is escorted to the capital, I don't know if there will be any accident."

"Hmph, how could Liu Ziheng return to the capital? How could he survive? Don't our family know Liu Ziheng? Why should Liu Ziheng write such a memorial? If our family expected it to be good, something must have happened in Xiangyang."

This time, Ma Huateng's face also changed.

"The general's meaning is that Li Rupei controls Xiangyang."

Tian Lingzi nodded and said nothing.

Of course, Ma Huateng understood what this means. He reached out to a soldier guarding the door to come over, whispered a few words in the ear of the soldier, and the soldier quickly left.

"No need to investigate in detail. If our family expects it well, it won't take long to get the news to the capital. It seems that our family is going to be ready."

"Don't worry, the general, after all, the emperor trusts the general."

"I'm confused, can't the emperor replace people?"
