The emperor's imperial edict caused a stir in the court and also caused a huge shock among the northern vassal states.

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, Emperor Gaozu of Tang appointed Emperor Taizong of Tang as King of Qin. In the fourth year of Wude, because the King of Qin had made too great contributions, Emperor Gaozu of Tang appointed King of Qin as General Tiance, and was above the kings. He also served as Situ, Daxingtai, Shaanxi East Road, Shangshu, and ordered officials to be set up in the Qin palace, which also created conditions for the Qin king to become the emperor in the future.

More than two hundred years have passed, and no one would have thought that this scene would appear again. The difference is that the one who was granted the title of King Fu Li Rupei, but the emperor set up the Southern Road Grand Tower, which violated the rules of the ancestors.

The jurisdiction of the Southern Road Main Street Taiwan is too big. If we understand it literally, all the places in the South should be under the jurisdiction of the Southern Road Main Street Taiwan. Such power is difficult to understand and inappropriate to ordinary people.

Besides, what kind of power does the Southern Dao Daxingtai have? Can it directly determine the candidates for many military governors in the south? From then on, will the south be completely controlled by King Fu Li Rupei, whether the court cannot intervene, as well as the collection of taxes, the allocation of the army, etc. These are all powers, and it should be all powers of the court.

However, everyone can understand that the Iron Blood Army has controlled most of the southern parts, and now the only things that have not been involved in Lingnan Road and Qianzhong Road are left. If the Iron Blood Army enters these two places, then all the places in the south will be controlled by the Iron Blood Army.

Judging from the actual situation, the court cannot decide many matters in the south.

Strength determines everything. The strength of the Iron Blood Army gave Li Rupei sufficient confidence and could completely determine everything in the south. This is no different from the northern vassal states. If the imperial court wants to tear apart, the ending will be extremely miserable.

This is probably the emperor's helpless move.

Surprising things happened one after another.

On the tenth day of the second month, King Fu, Situ, Zhongshu Ling, and Li Rupei, the Southern Road Grand Chamber of Li Rupei submitted a memorial. He recommended Cui Anqian as the special envoy of the Southern Road Grand Chamber of Taiwan, Qian Shiqu as the military governor of Huainan Road, Ma Haoxuan as the military governor of Shandong East Road, Yu Chenghui as the military governor of Jiangnan West Road, and Tan Mingxiao as the military governor of Jiangnan East Road, and at the same time, he begged the court to open a tribute and conduct an imperial examination in Xiangyang.

The requests made by Li Rupei have exceeded the bottom line that the court and the emperor can bear, and have also focused many vassal states in the north on the capital Chang'an.

Daming Palace. Zichen Palace.

Tian Lingzi was waiting for the emperor. Li Rupei's memorial made Tian Lingzi frightened and made him particularly sober. According to the emperor's imperial edict, Li Rupei, as a major southern road, had the right to directly decide the candidate for the governor. He only needed to register the Ministry of Personnel and issued the imperial edict. However, the candidate for the Jiedushi was still under the control of the court, but this time, Li Rupei's approach had completely excluded the court. If the emperor approved Li Rupei's memorial, the court would completely lose control of the south, and nominal control would no longer exist.

Tian Lingzi thought a lot. The emperor issued an order to let Li Rupei serve as the Grand Historian of Southern Road, which was helpless. After the Iron Blood Army wiped out Huang Chao, it was actually controlled by Jiangnan East and Jiangnan West Road. Bi Shiduo from Huainan Road could not last long, especially after the emperor's imperial edict was issued, Bi Shiduo's last persistence was gone.

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

The only places that the imperial court can control now are the capital Chang'an, the eastern capital Luoyang, as well as Henan Prefecture, Henan Road, Qianzhong Road, Lingnan Road, Dongchuan Road and Xichuan Road. The north has always been controlled by vassal states, and the court cannot intervene. The south is basically controlled by Li Rupei. It can be foreseeable that Qianzhong Road and Lingnan Road will soon be controlled by Li Rupei.

Tian Lingzi grew up with the emperor, knowing the emperor's nature. The emperor did not suffer any hardships. He ascended the throne at the age of twelve and spent most of his time indulging in food, drinking and having fun. This was what Tian Lingzi expected. Therefore, when the emperor had no choice, he simply let it go, and felt a little indulgent.

When things developed to this point, Tian Lingzi hoped that the emperor could show his majesty and severely scold Li Rupei, asking Li Rupei not to be too arrogant. The words he scolded Li Rupei could only be said by the emperor. He, the general of the Shence Army, dared not speak, let alone Li Rupei was already the King of Blessings and was above the kings.

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

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

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

"Ah Father just tell me what he has. There is no need to do so."

Tian Lingzi quickly stopped crying and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I am worried. Your Highness's memorial has caused a huge shock in the court. If the emperor cannot scold Your Highness's Highness this time, I am afraid that all the civil and military ministers will be disappointed."

"Father tells me how I should scold King Fu. Will my reprimand King Fu obey my reprimand?"

"The emperor will definitely respond to the civil and military ministers. His Highness has shown signs of rebellion. The appointment of the military governor and the imperial examination are all the affairs of the court."

"Oh, according to Ah Father's wishes, I also need to reprimand the northern vassal states. Didn't they also disobey the imperial edicts and even take me seriously? When will the imperial court send officials to the north? Guannei Road, Longyou Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road and even Henan Road, when will I appoint a Jiedushi?"

Tian Lingzi looked up in horror, looking at the sharp but weak emperor.

Why did the emperor say such words? This is not like the one that the emperor can say. It doesn’t matter if the emperor was bewitched by someone or it doesn’t matter.

A chill appeared in Tian Lingzi's heart, and a bold idea also emerged in his heart. If the emperor was unable to control it, he could find a way to establish the emperor.

This idea just flashed through and was suppressed. Now he relies on the emperor to control the power in the court. Once he leaves the emperor's support or re-establishes the emperor, he may instantly detonate the situation in the Tang Dynasty. When the Iron Blood Army enters the capital Chang'an, he will be the biggest culprit. And doing so will give Li Rupei a reason to enter the capital, and maybe Li Rupei will become the emperor directly.

Tian Lingzi thought of Yang Fuguang. Could it be that Yang Fuguang met the emperor in advance?

"Emperor, Your Highness, King Fu is a child of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. I know that the emperor values ​​family affection and thinks that Your Highness is for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. But many vassal states in the north look at what decisions the emperor made. If the emperor approved His Highness's memorial, wouldn't the many governors in the north also make unreasonable demands? It is precisely from these aspects that I think that Your Highness is just trying to seek power, and never thought of the Tang Dynasty."

A helpless sneer appeared on the emperor's face.

"My father has been very busy all this time. Xichuan has received too much military pay and food. Other places have already raised their opinions. I have never known about this matter. Can Mr. Mr. explain it?"

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

"Emperor, I am wronged. I am determined to be the emperor, and I have no other intentions..."

"I know that my father has no strange intentions, but this involves King Fu's affairs. Don't worry. There are already a lot of grudges between my father and King Fu. If I have performed too much in the court, I will not be able to say something. King Fu's memorial has been approved. If my father has nothing else, go down and rest."

After Tian Lingzi walked out of Zichen Hall, his face immediately became gloomy. He believed that Yang Fuguang had made moves in advance, but he didn't know all this. It was not appropriate to make mistakes in such a major problem.

When Ma Tengyun rushed over, Tian Lingzi had already calmed down.

"Ma Tengyun, it seems that the situation has really changed. Our family is kept in the dark. Yang Fuguang, our family wants to spare him. Unexpectedly, if you do something in front of our family, you can 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 stunned and looked at Tian Lingzi. You should know that Yang Fuguang was the Privy Councilor and had a great influence in the court, and there were some dependent forces. What's more important is that Yang Fuguang had extraordinary prestige in the Shence Army. If the assassination of Yang Fuguang was exposed, let alone Ma Tengyun, even Tian Lingzi would not be able to bear such consequences.

"General, this matter is too serious. I suggest that you consider using other methods..."

Before Ma Tengyun finished speaking, Tian Lingzi spoke gloomyly.

"It's not that our family has thought of other solutions. Yang Fuguang has already acted. When our family thinks of other solutions, it's a matter that has been put to the ground. There is no need to discuss this matter. Don't talk about anything else. Make arrangements immediately. You have to do everything foolproof. As long as Yang Fuguang disappears, our family can do the next thing."

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.

"Send the letter to Xichuan immediately and hand it over to Chen Jingxuan in person, and tell him to be as low-key as possible during this period, don't show off, and don't cause trouble..."

After the man in black left, Tian Lingzi showed a gloomy and vicious expression on his face. After working hard for so many years, he reached his current position. It was not that simple to make him give up. To be continued...
