Chapter 62 Misfortunes

When the officials who had been granted were decreed, they seemed to understand it and tacitly withdrew from the Tai Chi Hall.

The new enthronement will inevitably lead to new adjustments and layouts of warlords from all sides, and many things are waiting for them to arrange, and they really don’t want to stay here anymore.

Everyone came out in a row, and only Tian Lingzi, Zhu Li, and some small eunuchs were left in the Tai Chi Hall.

"General Zhu Li, can you tell me the intention of the old slave to leave the general?" Tian Lingzi condescended, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Zhu Li and asked.

"Zhu doesn't know, so I ask everyone to tell you clearly." Tian Lingzi issued an imperial edict, but the imperial edict that the Tang court enfeoffed him was not read in public. Who knows what he had in mind.

However, we can also see from this that the Tang court's powerful officials were so arrogant. They kept the imperial edicts and still didn't care. This eunuch had to do such things more than once, twice so simply that he seemed to be familiar with them and became accustomed to them.

Seeing that Zhu Li was not enlightened, Tian Lingzi said leisurely: "In less than three years as an official, the general was promoted from a small North Entrance Guard to the third-rank official of the court. It can be said that he was successful in his youth and was proud of his youth. If there are any unclear aspects of the way of being an official, our family can understand it."

"Our family once talked to the saint about the general. Our family believes that the general's rank should not be promoted too quickly, so as not to pull out the seedlings to grow, and in the end they can only destroy a good seedling. However, Zheng Ting, Li Zhuo and others believe that in the face of crisis, people should be appointed based on their merits and abilities, which is the right way to quickly rectify the chaos. However, the general does have the ability. Our family believes in this, so we do not firmly oppose it."

"Now that Huang Chao has been defeated in Chang'an, he has entered Yanzhou with his defeated generals. It is obviously a state of perseverance. At this time, the general will not think about his future?" Tian Lingzi thought for Zhu Li with great thoughts.

When Zhu Li heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly and said to herself: In the future, you will die suddenly, and Tang Ting will be destroyed by your worms in more than ten years. I have been working hard for the future, but it is impossible for you, Tian Lingzi, to know about this.

However, he could not tell Tian Lingzi directly, so he turned around and said, "Everyone Tian seems to want to mention Zhu. I wonder what Tian thinks Zhu Li should do so that he will have a more promising future?"

"Hehe, our family can't give any advice to General Zhu. General Zhu is also a young hero. Our family has always admired him. Unfortunately, our family is old and weak, and there is no successor. I wonder if the general is willing to recognize our family as his adoptive father?" When Tian Lingzi saw Zhu Li lowered his figure and asked him for advice, he immediately mistakenly thought that Zhu Li had compromised and surrendered, so he spoke confidently.

However, as one of the biggest powerful officials of the dynasty, Tian Lingzi accepted many fake children. Those who could ask him to personally recruit them as fake children are now all local officials or powerful officials in the palace, and no one has ever refused.

After all, in this era, the powerful and virtuous family had already formed a noble family. Let’s talk about Tian Lingzi himself. His original surname was Chen, and he realized his current status because he recognized a deceased eunuch as his adoptive father after entering the palace.

There are many people like him, such as Yang Fuguang, the newly released general of the world's military commander, who is the fake son of Yang Xuanzheng, the regular attendant of the powerful official; Yang Fugong, the companion of Yang Fuguang, and the counterpart of the former Privy Councilor Yang Xuanyi, etc. Such things are almost common in the Tang court, just like those of later generations.

The same unspoken rules make people accustomed to them.

If he was valued by Quan Huan and wanted to leverage Gao Sheng from Quan Huan, recognize his godfather, adoptive father, etc., it would be the first threshold. Tian Lingzi thought that Zhu Li was surrendering, so he naturally asked Zhu Li to recognize him as his adoptive father. He did not think that doing so would mean what it means for Zhu Li, who came from later generations, was born in grassroots, and had a little angry youth.

With Tian Lingzi's infamy in later generations, how could Zhu Li be willing to recognize him as his adoptive father? If that were the same as being infamous for thousands of years, it would be an insult to him.

Tian Lingzi's proposal not only did not make Zhu Li excited, but also suddenly aroused anger in his heart. Why, he, a disabled man and woman, wants to be his own father, is simply a big deal.

What is an adopted father?

There is an old saying that the sworn brothers of a biological father can be the adoptive father; in Zhu Li's understanding, he can only be the adoptive father in his name, perform his father's duties, and perform his father's duties.

How could Tian Lingzi be able to do anything? He has no grace to raise himself, no sense of teaching, and no example, to make contributions to his family, country, and society, and not to serve as a benchmark for himself. How could he become his adoptive father?

Except for some shameless people who are willing to become his father, Tian Lingzi, who have some conscience, know the righteousness, and distinguish the wrong will not recognize such a person as his adoptive father.

This person bullies the emperor, suppresses the temple, cultivates his followers, eliminates dissidents, pursues fame and fortune, harms the country and the people, and wants to become Zhu Li's adoptive father. Is he a eunuch who understands the true meaning of his adoptive father? It is simply a delusion.

Zhu Li tried hard to suppress her anger that was on the verge of anger and replied stiffly: "Thank you, everyone in Tian, ​​for your kindness, Zhu's parents are alive, and the adults are in full swing, and they have no plans to make a fool of themselves."

The hall was silent as soon as he spoke. The little eunuchs who were attending Tian Lingzi looked at Zhu Li in horror. In their perception, no one had ever refused Tian Lingzi so directly.

What's more, Zhu Li's anger and shameful tone in her tone could be heard by even the deaf. Not only did he not be grateful for Tian Lingzi's proposal, but he was angry.

This situation surprised Tian Lingzi and was speechless. His originally fair face was instantly covered with a layer of dark clouds. He suddenly turned his head in disbelief and looked at Zhu Li. He couldn't believe that this country boy who had no background, no background, or even no foundation dared to reject his "good intention" in person. He was simply ungrateful.

Zhu Li looked at Tian Lingzi's eyes with a solemn face and looked at Tian Lingzi with a calm expression. If he hadn't killed this person, it might have caused greater riots. In Zhu Li's perception, Tian Lingzi could kill the matter with one knife. No, killing such a scum is too cheap. He should have cut into pieces and dismembered the corpse of five horses. Only then can he be relieved of the grievances for countless people and eliminate traitors for the vast Tang Dynasty.

"Hmph, ho, ho ho..., the general has figured it out, do you confirm that you have done this? Do you know what you have rejected? Your rejection is destined to be completely lost in the wealth and extraordinary achievements of the sky. You will not think about it seriously?" Tian Lingzi looked at Zhu Li with gritted teeth and said in a hoarse voice.

Looking at the old face in front of him that was whiter than his butt, Zhu Li stared at the other party in a solemn and indifferent manner, and said, "Zhu was originally a commoner,

Don’t seek to be famous in the temple or wealth in the high pavilions of the jade buildings. What you think and think is how to make the family better through your own efforts.”

"However, it is not willing to give this pursuit. At the local level, corrupt officials are rampant; in the temple, treacherous and slanderous people are in power; induce the world to be exhausted and wars are everywhere; in order to invite the blessing of heaven, Zhu was able to protect his parents by chance, and met the commander, and developed the ability to gallop on the battlefield. He only wanted to do something practical for the people of the world and seek peace. As for the wealth and great achievements in heaven, Zhu never thought about it. Let everyone leave it to others. Please forgive Zhu for not having any blessings." After Zhu Li said that, he bowed his hand and turned around and left. He was not in the mood to accept the imperial edict. He didn't even want to see the other party even a minute. Facing Tian Lingzi's sinister villain's face, he wanted to kill the other party immediately.

"Okay, okay, very good, good, gaga, Zhuli, I hope you don't regret it, you don't know what to lift." Tian Lingzi finally broke out, and looked at Zhuli's back walking towards the gate of the Tai Chi Hall and screamed viciously.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Li suddenly turned her head and glared at Tian Lingzi. The anger that burned everything seemed to burst out, and she wanted to burn Tian Lingzi, the castrated man in an instant to dust.

Such unconcealed anger and murderous intent were so horrible that Tian Lingzi's head shrank and his body was sweating coldly.

Although Zhu Li has been an official for a while, since he embarked on this road, most of the time he has spent in the military camp and on the battlefield. Even if he is not deliberately released, he can make ordinary people feel uncomfortable. What's more, now, he has already developed a bit of murderous intent to Tian Lingzi.

Zhu Li walked out of the palace without looking back, and also announced that Tian Lingzi's plan to recruit him failed.

While Zhu Li and Tian Lingzi were having a bad time in the palace, the new crown prince's tutor, Duke Xia Li Sigong, came in front of a mansion that he forcibly occupied in Chang'an City.

Dang Xiangya Bing, who was guarding the door of the mansion, immediately recognized the identity of this person. This person was no one else, but Li Renyou who was left in Youzhou. He was Li Sigong's own son. The two of them dared not neglect and immediately stepped forward to support Li Renyou and said anxiously: "Mr. Renyou, what's wrong with you? Why have you been so seriously injured?"

Li Renyou's image is indeed miserable. Not only was he ragged, but he was covered in blood. He looked frightened and anxious. When he saw the Dangxiang clan's tooth soldiers, his eyes were excited, and the light of relief flashed with relief. As if he had seen some hope, he grabbed the collar of the tooth soldier and said hoarsely: "Hurry, go, go and inform Alang, just say, Gao Su under Zhu Li, Shuozhou, has already broken through Youzhou and completely occupied Hetao. Now, the six states including Xia, Sui, Yin, You, Yan, Ling, etc. have all fallen into Gao Su's hands, hurry..."

Before Li Renyou finished speaking, she fell head-on in the arms of the soldier and fainted.
