As the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Duo was still very busy. During the reign of Emperor Yizong of Tang Dynasty, Wang Duo was a clerk of the Central Secretariat and entered the center of power. After Emperor Xizong of Tang ascended the throne, Wang Duo became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty with his strong strength and qualifications gathered in the court. The prime minister at the end of the Tang Dynasty was not so comfortable. The struggle between the inner court and the outer court was very fierce. The eunuchs controlled the Shence Army and had an army in their hands, so they could easily control the court. In addition, Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty trusted the eunuch Tian Lingzi the most, which greatly restricted the power of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. But Wang Duo was outstanding, at least in handling political affairs, he was clean and neat, and it was impossible to find faults. Therefore, in the third year of Qianfu, he became the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

It was the spring plowing season that the peasant uprising army led by Huang Chao was defeated by the Zhenhai Jieduo Gao Pian in Fuzhou area. All of his generals Qin Yan, Bi Shiduo, and Li Hanzhi surrendered. The court was of course happy to receive such a report. Gao Pian was the number one strong general of the Tang Dynasty. He once defeated the rebellion of the Nanzhao army and wiped out more than 200,000 Nanzhao's army. Now that he has come forward to encircle Huang Chao, he should be able to achieve the final victory.

Wang Duo finally felt relieved and believed that Gao Pian would definitely be able to completely wipe out Huang Chao.

It was at this time that Wang Duo received a letter from Liu Yunzhang, the left-behind Dongdu.

The relationship between Wang Duo and Liu Yunzhang is still good. Wang Duo admires Liu Yunzhang's "Letter of Direct Advice" written by Liu Yunzhang. Unfortunately, Liu Yunzhang offended Tian Lingzi, and Wang Duo could not let Liu Yunzhang stay in the capital. As the number one prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Duo would never turn against the eunuchs in the court, otherwise he would not think about what he could do.

The prime minister has one of the most important responsibilities, which is to recommend officials to the court. In this regard, the prime minister can barely compete with the eunuchs. The eunuch's approach is more direct. He has countless godsons who directly control the army and the key departments of the court. The prime minister also has his own way, that is, to discover the talents of the officials, recommend them to the court, promote these people to more important departments, and enhance the power of the prime minister.

Liu Yunzhang rarely wrote letters, but Wang Duo knew very well that Liu Yunzhang was left behind in the Eastern Capital and had a certain prestige in the court. Writing letters to himself was definitely a recommendation talent. Liu Yunzhang had a bad relationship with eunuchs and was determined to suppress the power of eunuchs. The only way was to recommend heroes among officials.

After opening the letter, Wang Duo read it carefully.

The letter was not long, and Wang Duo finished reading it in less than a quarter of an hour.

The three poems in the letter are indeed very good, and Wang Duo even recited them silently several times.

Unfortunately, Wang Duo and Liu Yunzhang are different. After all, he is the first prime minister of the court. He is mainly focused on political affairs. He will also read good poems, but he will not pay special attention to them. He will not be sure that someone is an extraordinary talent through a few poems. He can't wait to recommend them to the court. Li Taibai and Du Gongbu are both very good poets. Unfortunately, they are a mess and do not understand the mystery of the officialdom at all.

Besides, appreciating poetry is a matter for those young scholars. I am so old that I have experienced too many ups and downs, so I have long been indifferent to these things.

But these three poems still attracted Wang Duo's attention. The ambitions shown in the poems are extraordinary. Liu Yunzhang could not write such poems. But strangely, in the letter, Liu Yunzhang did not mention the source of these three poems, that is, he did not know who wrote these three poems.

Being able to write such poems means that this person is still extraordinary. At least it is worth getting in touch with it to see if he has real talent and knowledge. If he is really capable and strongly recommends it to the court, it is also a good thing.

After pondering for a while, Wang Duo picked up his pen and started writing a reply.

In the reply, Wang Duo clearly informed Liu Yunzhang and introduced the situation of the poet. He was considering contacting the poet and seeing if he was really capable. If he had good abilities, he would directly recommend it to the court. Such talents should be directly loyal to the court and wandered into the mountains and fields. It would be a pity.

After all, Wang Duo was the first prime minister and directly concluded that the person who wrote the poem must not be an official.

Wang Duo did these things in the official residence and did not bring the letter home. Wang Duo had this habit. No matter what the matter was, he basically handled it in the official residence and would never take it home. As the prime minister, he had to take the lead, otherwise the officials below would take home everything to deal with. What was the difference between them and eunuchs? Those eunuchs liked to handle things in the residence.

Maybe I felt that this letter had nothing else, so Wang Duo did not deliberately put it away.

The content of the letter soon came to the hands of Ma Tengyun, the guardian of the Shence Army.

Ma Tengyun returned to the capital shortly after not long. He was in Wuling County and commanded the task of killing King Li Qi of Wei and his family. He completed the task very successfully and was praised by Tian Lingzi. As for the reward of 2,000 taels of silver, Ma Tengyun did not take a penny, and gave it to Liu Ziheng, General of the Shence Army, to distribute it. Ma Tengyun was not short of silver. He also knew that this was a way to win over Liu Ziheng.

In the prime minister's residence, there were secretly arranged suspicious lines by eunuchs. Otherwise, eunuchs would not have mastered so many situations and could win every power struggle with the prime minister. Although eunuchs had already taken the absolute initiative when facing the prime minister and court officials, in order to prevent the situation from happening, there were still many suspicious lines by eunuchs in the court.

The letter Liu Yunzhang wrote to Wang Duo was sent to Ma Tengyun through his eyes.

Tian Lingzi needs to deal with many things, and they are basically big things. Besides, Tian Lingzi also needs to accompany the emperor most of the time, so ordinary things are handled by Ma Tengyun. Unless it involves extraordinary big things, they will only come to Tian Lingzi. As one of Tian Lingzi's most trusted subordinates, Ma Tengyun also did his best to reassure Tian Lingzi.

I read the letter several times.

Ma Tengyun's knowledge is very good, no less than those scholars who were genuine Jinshi. He entered the palace since he was a child. In order to be able to stand out among eunuchs and study hard, he seemed very low-key in his daily performance.

At the beginning, Ma Tengyun didn't care. Liu Yunzhang and Wang Duo were both authentic Jinshi, and their knowledge was very good. They made friends through literature and exchanged knowledge. This was not a big deal. Many scholars liked to do this, but after reading three poems a few more times, Ma Tengyun suddenly had a question in his heart.

The reason is that Ma Tengyun felt sadness and anger from the three poems.

For some reason, he thought of Huolong Village, Li Qi, and even more so about Li Qi's son Li Rupei. It is said that Li Rupei was killed by Liu Ziheng himself, so there would be no problem here, but he did not see Li Rupei's body that night, and Liu Ziheng did not think of asking where Li Rupei was buried. He did not see Li Rupei's body, and for Ma Tengyun, who was cautious and suspicious, was still worried. He believed in his own eyes, not very much believed in what others said.

But through three poems, I doubted the matter of Huolong Village, which is a bit far-fetched. Besides, Li Rupei was only fifteen years old and might not have such knowledge and could write such wonderful poems. However, the mood expressed by these three poems is very consistent with the anger after his parents and family were killed.

Ma Tengyun was unwilling to be known by Tian Lingzi. If he really said that the son of King Li Qi of Wei was still alive, it would be a secret way to kill him. I believe that a young man who is ignorant of the world will not cause much storm.

After careful consideration, Ma Tengyun reported directly to Tian Lingzi. What he meant was that this letter was written to Wang Duo by Liu Yunzhang, and there were three poems. The ambitions expressed by these three poems were extraordinary. I am afraid that Liu Yunzhang and Wang Duo were thinking of attracting talents and fighting against the Beiya. They must pay attention to the person who created the poems and see what they did and kill this uneasy sign in the cradle.

Tian Lingzi trusted and admired Ma Tengyun very much. He also read these three poems carefully and thought that the writing was indeed good. After listening to Ma Tengyun's analysis, he thought it made sense and agreed to Ma Tengyun's encounter. However, Tian Lingzi was in power and was in a high position and saw more profoundly. He proposed that if the author of the poem was willing to rely on the Northern Yai, then he would take the initiative first and win over Wang Duo and Liu Yunzhang. If he looked down on the eunuch, he would be clean and neat, and he would not stop and let this person go to see the King of Hell. In short, the Southern Yai would not be able to obtain such talents.

Soon, the Beiya made arrangements and strengthened the surveillance of the Prime Minister's residence and Liu Yunzhang, who stayed in the East, hoping to monitor their every move and find out the person who created the poems.

Ma Tengyun did not mention the matter of King Li Qi of Wei at all, and would not report his inner doubts. This suspicion was too far-fetched and was also a disadvantage to himself. But contrary to the norm, Ma Tengyun was personally responsible for the investigation of this matter, personally arranged many surveillance and investigation tasks, and repeatedly emphasized that if there were any clues, he had to report them directly to himself. No matter how big or small, as for what decisions and actions he needed to make, he had already considered it.
