-------------------------------------

Sikong, the minister of the disciple and the minister of Pingzhang, had always been more inclined to support Li Jing in the court. This was not to say that he had gained Li Jing's benefits, but to think that Li Jing's actions in the East over the years were indeed very good, and he had made it possible to allow the people to live and work in peace. Since today's son ascended the throne, Li Jing's rule was a rare peaceful place. Not only did Dengzhou, originally the largest port in the north, have not fought a major war for decades, but also became the most prosperous and prosperous place in the entire Tang Dynasty under Li Jing's rule over the past decade. Even the land of Liaodong, which had been separated from the Tang Dynasty for more than a hundred years, has become prosperous under the rule of Li Jing in recent years. He had heard of many merchants who had been to Liaodong, and they all said that Liaodong is even more prosperous than Hebei, especially in southern Liao and western Liaoning, even surpassing Henan.

Zheng Qie was in office for many years, and he really relied on the support of his father's friend and the powerful official Ximen Sigong in the palace to enter the political affairs hall. But no matter how he got promoted, he did have the persistence of a scholar in his heart. Just as the Qin newspaper said, it would be better to go home to sell potato medicine if you don't make the right decision for the people.

Many people say that Li Jing is actually a treacherous minister and a powerful minister, just like Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty, Cao Cao of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Sima Zhao of the Wei Dynasty. They always held the banner of the Tang Dynasty and respected the Sui Dynasty. But in fact, they were real separatist warlords. Sooner or later, they would plan to usurp the throne. Zheng Ting actually supported this statement, but he always held some hope in his heart, thinking that Li Jing might be different. Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors and Wang Mang had not usurped the times. As long as Li Jing did not do such a ruthless thing in one day, those ministers who were determined to revive the Tang Dynasty would inevitably have hope for Li Jing. After all, Li Tang was already decayed.

After reaching the point where the building is about to collapse, now only Li Jing has the ability to turn the tide and support the building. If you don’t place your hope on him, should you put your hope on Tian Lingzi and Yang Fugong? Yang Fuguang is a little confused. Although he is a eunuch, he seems to be very loyal to Li Tang, but Yang Fuguang is just a eunuch. He is different after all. Although he is a big power now, he still has to rely on warlords such as Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong, Qin Zongquan, Wang Chongrong, and Li Changyan. He knows very well that although these people are local commanders and princes like Li Jing, they are absolutely different from Li Jing. Putting hope in their hands will only make the Tang Dynasty worse and worse.

He believed that Yu Cong, Xin Xi, Yu Feng, Li Zhuo, Du Qing, Zhang Zimian, Zeng Yuanyu, Cui Anqian, and Cui Yunqing, who have now served under the Qin vassal Li Jing, must have had the same expectations as him.

But in Tian Lingzi's view, their expectations are colluding with Li Jing, and now Yang Fugong has the same idea.

At the beginning, with his expectation for Li Jing, he cooperated with Li Jing to actively organize the Guanzhong Allied Forces to support the king and counterattack Chang'an. However, when the situation in Guanzhong stabilized, these eunuchs immediately contacted Li Changyan to make his rebellion and drove him away. After leaving Fengxiang Army, he was summoned to Chengdu to serve as Sikong, a subordinate minister, and a subordinate under the position of Pingzhang, and was in charge of military control. However, before he stayed in Chengdu for half a year, he was squeezed out of the court by Tian Lingzi and Yang Fugong, and was forced to rest with his son who served as the governor of the state.

Although he was completely excluded from the court, Zheng Ting was still very concerned about major affairs of the government and the country. In the past two years, the eunuchs who were in Chengdu finally had internal conflicts. Tian Lingzi held the emperor hostage, imprisoned Zhang Tai and Ximen Sigong, and drove Yang Fugong away. Yang Fugong arrived in Guanzhong and soon recovered the two capitals with Yang Fuguang and killed Huang Chao. Just when he was relieved, he suddenly heard the news that Yang Fugong had established Shou Wang Jie as the new emperor on New Year's Day and Li Yan as the Supreme Emperor.

Now, in front of him, there were two imperial edicts.

One way was to grant him the title of Grand Tutor, Shizhong, and Tong Pingzhang, the prince of Yingchuan, and asked him to enter the court as prime minister. The other way was to grant him the title of Grand Tutor, Zhongshu Ling, Tong Pingzhang, and Langya, and also invited him to enter the court as prime minister.

But when these two yellow silk imperial edicts were placed in front of him, he could not be happy.

The reason is very simple. These two imperial edicts were not issued by one emperor. The first one was issued by the emperor Li Yan of Chengdu, and the second one was issued by the new emperor Li Jie who had just ascended the throne on New Year's Day. Now, after the King of Shou has just changed his name to Li Ye as usual.

However, Zheng Ting was very clear that neither of these two deeds was really the will of the emperor. The edict in Chengdu was undoubtedly issued by Tian Lingzi, while the deed in Chang'an was issued by Yang Fugong.

He didn't believe that he was tired of both of them not long ago. Now he is so popular, both sides are competing for him to be the prime minister. He knew in his heart that all they needed was his name to compete for some momentum. No matter where he went, they would throw him aside as a foot cloth in a few days.

The remnants of Huang Chao have not yet been wiped out, and thieves are still rising everywhere in the world, and the people are displaced due to war and chaos. At this time, those people did not want to reorganize the mountains and rivers and settle the people, but instead created two emperors and two imperial courts. The dawn of the revival of the Tang Dynasty that had finally been seen was suddenly blocked by dark clouds.

Li Yan is only twenty-two years old this year. Although he was not considered a wise lord before, he was essentially a good emperor because of the deceiver of Tian Lingzi, Lu Xie and others. At least he worked hard. However, such a young emperor is now kidnapped by Tian Lingzi, who he once regarded as his father, and was regarded as a truly reliable Yang brothers abolished the throne. Now, the Yang brothers helped King Shou ascend the throne. Although he was also a smart royal family, he was only fifteen years old. It was obvious that the eunuchs had fought against him. They all wanted to hold the emperor in their hands, and they would not really let the emperor take power, but they just wanted an emperor puppet.

As half of Ximen Sigong's adopted son, Zheng Ting still has feelings for Emperor Li Yan, but he also knows that the Yang family is now stronger, far beyond Tian Lingzi. The new emperor has been supported and ascended the throne. The Jieshang of the Central Plains vassal states are almost all the godsons accepted by the Yang brothers. It is an indisputable fact that Emperor Li Yan becomes the Supreme Emperor. It is impossible to change it.

Li Ye's ascension to the throne means that the originally weak balance of the Li Tang court was completely broken. It turned out that after the Anshi Rebellion, the court barely maintained a little stability, established more and more vassal states, allowing local vassal states to restrain each other. In the court, eunuchs and prime ministers were allowed to balance each other, using eunuchs to prevent power prime ministers, using eunuchs to govern the imperial guards, and using prime ministers to restrict eunuchs. Although in the end, the struggle between the north and south yamen became stronger and stronger with the eunuchs. The prime ministers failed in the struggle, at least there was a final balance.

Now, the eunuchs colluded with the warlords of the vassal states in those places, and the prime ministers and civil servants of the court completely became eunuchs' puppets. This is a dangerous signal. When the last bit of balance is broken, then the dangerous building of Li Tang will collapse at any time. If the foundation does not exist, how can the building not collapse?

Just at this point, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside.

Zheng Ting was already upset, so he looked out of the house and said angrily: "Why are you noisy and noisy? There is no rule!"

"It's the young master who is back!" The servant quickly walked into the study and reported, "The young master has just returned from riding a horse."

"Chuifang is back?" Zheng Ting heard that it was the eldest grandson who was back, and couldn't help but smile. Chuifang was the eldest grandson, and was the eldest son of his eldest son Zheng Ningji. He was just sixteen years old this year and could be used as a martial artsman. He was very fond of Zheng Ting. A few years ago, Li Yan was so angry that his eldest son Zheng Ningji was with him. Later, he went to Chengdu and the emperor appointed him as the Minister of War. When Zheng Ting was defeated by Shangrang in Longweipi, the victory was spread to Chengdu, and Li Yan specially appointed Zheng Ningji as the Minister of War. However, shortly afterwards, Zheng Ting was removed from the position of Fengxiang Jie, and Zheng Ningji was demoted to the governor of Bizhou. Not long after Zheng Ting arrived in Chengdu, he also arrived at his son in Bizhou.

As he was talking, Zheng Shaoyu had already walked into the study.

After a few rumours, he waved his servant away.

His eyes swept over the two yellow silk imperial edicts on the table and chuckled: "Why do you give me rewards to the elders?"

Zheng Ting moved the two imperial edicts aside and said dejectedly: "It's just a little reputation left by me, this old bone, and I can't be really there."

Although Zheng Shaoyu is young, he looks mature. "It's better not to accept it, and none of these eunuchs are good."

"Chuifang, be careful of your words." Zheng Ting was a little dissatisfied with his grandson's frivolousness, and the eunuch was not completely fine. Like Ximen Sigong, he treated him like his father.

"Why are you back today?" Sun Tzu recently studied in Chengdu, and every day he had free time to visit a veteran general in Chengdu to learn martial arts. He and his son did not object to his grandson's practice of martial arts. If he had been in the past, he would have opposed it. But now this army is fighting for chaos, and it is not enough to study. If he can learn some martial arts and know how to lead troops to fight, he can still serve the emperor in the future.

"My father asked his grandson to come back, and Mr. Father asked his grandson to bring a letter to his grandfather."

Zheng Ting took the letter handed by his grandson strangely. He didn't understand how his son wrote the letter but asked his grandson to deliver it. After all, his son was with him in Bizhou, while his grandson was in Chengdu.

When he opened the letter, Zheng Ting's brows became tighter and tighter as he read the letter. He read it over and over for more than half an hour.

"Grandfather, what is written in the letter?" Zheng Shaoyu was a little curious.

Zheng Ting did not answer. At this time, his heart was too chaotic. The letter was indeed written by his son, but the content was amazing. In the letter, his son told him that the people of King Li Jing of Qin had come to him and the meaning was very clear, just to invite them to Yanjing.

As for what they were invited to Yanjing, they also made it clear. Li Jing was very dissatisfied with the eunuchs being arbitrarily deposed and established the emperor at will. Therefore, he planned to invite Zheng Qi and other loyal ministers to go to Yanjing to discuss and re-select a wise and wise royal family to ascend the throne, assist the new emperor together, and revive Li Tang. In this letter, Li Jing also told Zheng Qi that he also invited hundreds of famous officials and honest and loyal people at the same time, inviting them to go to Yanjing together and recreate the Tang Dynasty!

"Li Jing also wants to establish an emperor, so that there will be three emperors in the world. There will be no two days in the sky and no two masters in the people. This is the source of chaos." Zheng Qi sighed in his heart, but he felt a little moved. If Yang Fugong and Ximen Sigong do things like this, the world will only become more and more chaotic. If Li Jing really intends to recreate the Tang Dynasty, maybe this is an opportunity. He might have to go to Yanjing to make another effort for the Tang Dynasty.
