This mutiny against Xuanzong's rights and prestige came to an end, Zhao Ziliang didn't know what Xuanzong's real intention was just now, he could only guess by himself, but no matter what, the matter finally calmed down. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
So many soldiers and horses blocked in the courtyard is not a way after all, since the matter has calmed down, then these many soldiers and horses will be withdrawn, Zhao Ziliang bowed to Xuanzong and said: "Your Majesty, since the holy car is safe and sound, I am afraid that so many soldiers and horses crowded here will disturb Your Majesty and Niangniang's rest, please Your Majesty order to allow the ministers and others to withdraw and the soldiers under their command will be stationed outside the post station to guard!" ”
Xuanzong was very pleased, Zhao Ziliang knew that his authority had been hit just now, and this was to maintain his authority, so he said: "Okay, Zhao Qing's family, Chen Qing's family, and I ordered the others to withdraw the soldiers and horses from the post station and station, so as not to disturb the surrounding people!" ”
Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli immediately agreed: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
After the two got up, they immediately issued a military order, the king of Guangping and the king of Jianning in the forbidden army knew that the general trend had gone, and it was difficult to make a difference at this time, so they had already collected their weapons and withdrew with other soldiers to the outside of the post station, because of Chen Xuanli's order, the forbidden army no longer listened to the command of the two of them, and the Beiting and the forbidden army soldiers would withdraw from the small courtyard of the post station in turn.
After Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan entered the guest room of the post station, he remembered the thrill just now, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and couldn't help but hug each other and cry bitterly.
The two cried bitterly for a while, comforted each other, and then Yang Yuhuan said: "San Lang, the world says, 'The country is in trouble and thinks of good generals', this statement has finally been verified today, if it weren't for General Zhao's father and son leading the troops to escort him, the concubines are afraid that they will leave San Lang forever, and San Lang will also fall to the authority in the future, and I don't know what will happen to him, San Lang must not be bewitched and killed by the greedy ministers anymore."
Xuanzong patted Yang Yuhuan's hand and said: "Don't worry, Yuhuan, I was slack and confused in the past, so that I was blinded by Li Linfu, the old dog and Yang Guozhong, I will definitely open my eyes in the future!" Zhao Ziliang is a loyal minister, I will not treat him badly! ”
At this time, Gao Lishi walked in and said: "Your Majesty, what happened just now, the holy car was threatened, and the guards outside are trustworthy, but after all, the soldiers of the forbidden army who guarded the royal car have done a big rebellious thing, for the sake of the safety of the holy car, do you want to replace it?" ”
Xuanzong pondered for a while and said: "The soldiers outside except for the forbidden army are Zhao Ziliang's Beiting Army, and now it seems that all the guards can only be replaced by Beiting Army soldiers, you go and find Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli!" ”
"Yes!" Colliers agreed, turned around and walked out.
Zhao Ziliang arranged for the soldiers to withdraw from the post station and camp outside, at this time Chen Xuanli came over and greeted him with a fist: "Marshal Zhao, thank you Marshal Zhao for your action just now, otherwise Chen is afraid that he has already gone to see Lord Yama at this time!" ”
Zhao Ziliang knew that what Chen Xuanli said was that he had used a weapon to fly the sword in Chen Xuanli's hand just now, he looked left and right, pulled Chen Xuanli to the wall of the post station, grabbed his cuirass against the wall and shouted in a low voice: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's timely voice, I wouldn't have bothered to save you and let you die!" Chen Xuanli, we also have a sixteen-year friendship, you tell me the truth, why did you do this? If you kill Yang Guozhong, forget it, this dog thief is innocent, why do you still point the finger at the concubine Niangniang, where did she offend you? ”
Chen Xuanli smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, Brother Ziliang, I can't hide it, my original intention was just to get rid of Yang Guozhong, when I had this idea, Li Mi, who was next to His Royal Highness the Prince, found me and said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intended to commit rape for the country, and asked me to cooperate." These 3,000 forbidden troops were all brought out by me personally, if it weren't for my consent, do you think the king of Guangping and the king of Jianning would be able to mobilize them? But after killing Yang Guozhong, I didn't expect that things were beyond my control, the king of Guangping and the king of Jianning spread rumors in the army that they had now killed Yang Guozhong's family, and the concubine Niangniang was his cousin, and the concubine Niangniang would definitely settle accounts after the autumn in the future, and the soldiers were scared after hearing this rumor, worried that they would be held accountable, so the soldiers put pressure on me under the leadership of the king of Guangping and the king of Jianning, and asked for the death of the concubine Niangniang, I wanted to oppose it at that time and tried my best to prevent it, But when it comes to the safety of the soldiers themselves, my words have no effect on them, even if I oppose it, it has no effect, I can only be controlled by the king of Guangping and the king of Jianning, and even the saint is very dangerous, between the saint and Niangniang, I can only choose the saint, as long as Niangniang dies, the soldiers will rest assured, I am their general after all, as long as I take the lead in maintaining the authority of the saint, the soldiers will definitely listen to me, and the saint will be safe! ”
Zhao Ziliang let go of his hand after listening to Chen Xuanli's words, and asked, "If you follow your plan, after Niangniang dies, aren't you afraid that the Holy Lord will hate you from now on?" ”
The corners of Chen Xuanli's mouth were bitter, and he shook his head and said, "At that time, I couldn't take care of so much!" ”
After speaking, Chen Xuanli changed the topic: "Brother, you came in time just now, not only to protect the safety and authority of the holy driver, but also to protect the mother, this is a great achievement!" But have you ever thought that this is also a disaster for yourself? ”
Zhao Ziliang said indifferently: "You mean that my appearance ruined the prince's plan?" ”
Chen Xuanli nodded and said, "Yes, this is nothing, but didn't you notice it?" Based on the performance of the saint just now, he obviously saw that the prince was the mastermind behind the mutiny, but the saint did not deal with the prince and his king Guangping and Jianning on the spot, don't you think it's strange? ”
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said lightly: "This is not strange! Among the princes, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the ability to sit on the throne, Your Majesty is the King of Shengming, do you think Your Majesty will decide the future and fate of the Tang Dynasty based on your personal likes and dislikes? In the future, His Majesty will only rest assured if he hands over the unification to His Royal Highness the Prince, which is why His Majesty was obviously angry to the extreme just now, but he still controlled his emotions and did not send down the prince, father and son! ”
Chen Xuanli was stunned and asked puzzledly: "Aren't you worried that after the crown prince ascends the throne, he will remember today's events and give you a settlement after the autumn queen?" ”
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and smiled indifferently: "If we are afraid of jackals before we act, and then we are afraid of tigers, what else can we do?" Didn't you think too far ahead before cooperating with the prince to launch a mutiny? ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, someone shouted the names of the two people, and after hearing it, the two came out of the shadows, and saw from the light of the torches that it was Gao Lishi who called them, so they walked over and hugged their fists together and said, "What did Gao Gonggong tell me to wait for?" ”
Gao Lishi saw that Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli were together, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are you together?" ”
Chen Xuanli hurriedly said: "Oh, that's the case, our forbidden army soldiers haven't eaten a grain of food for a day and a night, I'll ask General Zhao to borrow some food for the soldiers to fill their stomachs, so as not to make trouble again!" ”
When Gao Lishi heard this, he hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, there must be no more accidents, after all, the saint is an old man, and he can't stand the fright anymore." Zhao Dashuai, if you have excess grain and grass, give it to General Chen, and wait for the Holy Majesty to let the surrounding counties transport grain and grass over and then return it to you! ”
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I left the main force of the brigade and only brought three thousand elite horsemen after hearing the news that the holy driver was here, and each soldier only brought three days of dry food, how could there be extra grain and grass?" If General Chen doesn't dislike it, I will let the soldiers evenly give you a day's dry food, and let the soldiers of the forbidden army fill their stomachs first, and the main force of our army can arrive the morning after tomorrow at the latest, and the grain and grass carried can still last for a month, and it should be no problem to give some evenly, what do you think? ”
Chen Xuanli hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't thank you for your kindness, this favor Chen has remembered it in my heart!" ”
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand, looked at Gao Lishi again, and asked, "By the way, Gao Gonggong, are you coming to us?" ”
Gao Lishi slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, you see that I am old, and my memory is not good, I almost delayed the business, hurry, Your Majesty announced the two of you!" ”
"I see, then I'd better go and face the saint quickly!"
The three of them quickly walked into the post station, came to the guest room and saw Xuanzong, after the salute, Xuanzong asked the two to get up, and said: "The two Qing family, tonight's incident made the concubine a little frightened, I want the Beiting Army to serve as the guard, and the forbidden army to be responsible for the external security, I don't know what the two Qing family think?" ”
Zhao Ziliang glanced at Chen Xuanli, Chen Xuanli knelt on the ground again and said: "The minister is guilty of capital crimes, such a thing happened, the minister and the Long Wu army no longer have the shame to serve as the guardian of the holy driver, the minister asks His Majesty to allow the minister to take the soldiers of the Long Wu Army back to Chang'an to fight to the death with the rebels!" ”
Xuanzong considered that Ma Weiyi only had a total of 6,000 men and horses, and if Chen Xuanli was allowed to take the Longwu army back to Chang'an to fight the rebels, on the one hand, the strength of the guards would be reduced, and on the other hand, there would be a suspicion of settling accounts after the autumn, so he waved his hand and said: "I understand the intentions of Chen Qing's family, but now there are few soldiers and horses guarding me, if Chen Qing's family leads the troops away, and then there is a large force of enemy troops to attack, only relying on Zhao Qing's family's 3,000 light cavalry is afraid that it will be difficult to resist, this matter can not be mentioned again!" ”
Chen Xuanli had no choice but to give up and said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
Xuanzong looked at Zhao Ziliang again and asked, "Zhao Qingjia, what do you mean?" ”
Zhao Ziliang hugged his fists and said: "Since Your Majesty is interested and General Chen agrees, the officers and men of the Beiting Army are naturally willing to protect the safety of the holy car." However, the minister has the duty of counterinsurgency, but I am afraid that he will not be able to personally serve as the leading general who guards the holy car, so it is better for Zhao Ting, the second son of Weichen, to be in charge of this matter for the time being? ”
Xuanzong remembered Zhao Ting's heroic appearance and liked it very much, so he said happily: "Okay, General Zhao Ting is responsible for the safety of the holy driver, I am very relieved!" Someone, General Xuan Zhaoting is here! ”
Zhao Ting was quickly called over, and Xuanzong asked, "Zhao Ting, I want you to be in charge of the Holy Guard, are you willing?" ”
Zhao Ting couldn't help but look at Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang nodded slightly, and Zhao Ting immediately said: "The last general is willing!" ”
Xuanzong laughed: "Okay, hahaha・・・・・・"
He is a seventy-one-year-old man, and he is still so angry when he laughs, it seems that the maintenance is really good, Zhao Ziliang saluted and couldn't help muttering. (To be continued.) )
