Yang Yuhuan listened to Xuanzong's words and cried: "No, no, if the slave family doesn't leave, even if it dies, the slave family will be with Your Majesty!" ”

Xuanzong sighed: "Yuhuan, don't cry, be obedient!" I have had many women in my life, but the only one who has ever touched the truth is you, I am such a bad old man can get the favor of a peerless and beautiful woman like you, it is already a man in vain, I know your intentions, but I can't promise you, and I can't do this, otherwise I won't be blind under the Nine Springs! ”

Yang Yuhuan kept crying, and Xuanzong kept stroking her hair and fragrant shoulders to comfort her. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After a long time, Yang Yuhuan raised his head and asked with tears in his eyes, "Where does Your Majesty plan to arrange for me to go?" ”

Xuanzong smiled: "Didn't you always want to go to the Western Regions to see the customs there?" You go there, with Zhao Ziliang there, no one should dare to be unfavorable to you, even if after I die, someone in the court wants to attack you, and weigh how big the risk of offending Zhao Ziliang is! ”

Yang Yuhuan asked puzzledly: "Didn't Zhao Ziliang fight the Tubo people in the area west of the Longyou River?" Could it be that Saburo wants to transfer him back to Beiting? ”

Xuanzong sighed: "I don't want to transfer him back to the North Court, he has always been the master of the North Court, over the years, the North Court has never been out of his control, and the court has no way to interfere with the North Court!" Now almost all the generals in the army are from his subordinates, or his former subordinates, and his prestige in the army has surpassed that of me, the emperor! ”

Yang Yuhuan was shocked: "San Lang ······"

Xuanzong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill him, and I won't be able to kill him!" Even if I send someone to convey the will to kill him, his subordinates and protégés will not agree if they are afraid, and when the time comes, the world of the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos, the prestige of the imperial court will be lost, and the control of the army will be completely lost, and the gains will outweigh the losses! These days, I have been thinking about how to arrange Zhao Ziliang, if he is left in the court, he is bound to be unable to get along with Heng'er, with his power, status and ability, Heng'er not only can't help him, with him, Heng'er can only become a puppet, once he is forced to be urgent, the Tang Dynasty will be over! I thought about it, and the only way was to let him continue to go back to guard the North Garden, hoping that he could understand my hard work, and also hope that he still had a sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty in his heart, and he led the troops back to the North Garden! Otherwise, this Datang will be a mess in the future! ”

Li Heng and several prime ministers and ministers were waiting outside the palace gate, some were anxious and kept moving, and some kept rubbing their hands to show the incomparable anxiety in their hearts.

Gao Lishi, who was white-eyed and white-haired, walked out with the dust and said to Li Heng and the prime ministers: "His Royal Highness the Prince, my lords, Your Majesty declares you to go in!" ”

Li Heng immediately walked into the hall, and the other prime ministers also followed, and everyone came to Xuanzong to salute: "Wait for the ministers to meet Your Majesty!" ”

"Let's get flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After everyone stood up, Xuanzong asked, "Heng'er, is there a battle report from Zhao Ziliang?" ”

Li Heng arched his hand and said: "Father, yes, in late June, Zhao Ziliang led 15,000 people into Xiping City, leaving the main force in Shanzhou, and buying time for the soldiers and generals of the main army to adapt to the terrain of the plateau. Tubo Marshal Dazaru Gong led an army of 120,000 to attack, Zhao Ziliang seized the opportunity of the Tubo army to gain a foothold and led the cavalry to attack, the Tubo army was defeated and fled, in the chaos, Tubo Zampu Si Songde was killed by Zhao Ziliang with an arrow, Dazalu Gong forcibly ordered the soldiers to attack the city regardless of casualties in order to avenge the lord of Tubo, and lost nearly 50,000 or 60,000 horses in just six or seven days, Zhao Ziliang held on to the tenth day, the main force of Shanzhou adapted to the local plateau terrain and then marched to Xiping, the Tubo army had to retreat all the way to Dafeichuan, Zhao Ziliang then led the army to press step by step, Now our army has occupied the city of Fuqi in Haixi, but Shibao City, Chishui City east of the Yellow River, Michuan County and other cities are occupied by the Tubo people, they occupy the key and dangerous places, our army is difficult to capture for a while, and the confrontation with the Tubo army has been more than two and a half months! The Tubo army that invaded the land west of the river was cut off by our army and retreated westward, but was blocked by the defenders of our Yumen Pass, and then attacked from behind by Zhao Ting's army, and was defeated, and the whole army was annihilated! Now that the land west of the river has been fully recovered, and most of Longyou has also been recovered, only Shibao City, Douhe County and the land of the Yellow River Jiuqu are still under the control of the Tubo people! ”

"There's finally good news!" Xuanzong was in a much better mood, and asked again, "What about Hebei?" ”

Li Hengyu hesitated and said: "Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were defeated by Shi Siming one after another, Li Guangbi retreated to Hedong, and Guo Ziyi also retreated to Xinxiang, and the losses of troops were serious!" At present, Shi Siming led his troops to the Xiangzhou area, and Guo Ziyi had already collected boats on the Yellow River and was ready to cross the river and retreat to Chenliu, Xingyang and Luoyang! ”

"Ahem······ Ahem······ Ahem······"

Li Heng and the prime ministers were shocked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" ”

Xuanzong coughed for a while, his face flushed a little, and after stopping the cough, he panted and asked, "Why did the war in Hebei fight like this?" No matter the troops, or the combat power of the soldiers, the weight of food and grass, we must be stronger than Shi Siming, why did this battle become like this? ”

"This ······" Li Heng and the prime ministers didn't dare to speak out, and they didn't know the specific reason, and it was strange that Tang Jun obviously had an absolute advantage in all aspects, but now he was defeated by the weak Shi Siming, which really made people puzzled.

At this time, Zhang Hao stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Weichen speculated that this may be related to the inability of our army to unify the command, in the past, Zhao Ziliang was responsible for all matters of counterinsurgency, and all the generals obeyed him, and he could form a unified command of the armies in various places, but after he was transferred to fight the Tubo people, there was no one with enough prestige to command the armies in the Central Plains, and His Majesty did not appoint a new marshal candidate, so the generals of the various armies were not convinced by each other, and they went their own way, Shi Siming seized this opportunity to come to a break, led to the defeat of our army! ”

Xuanzong asked, "Do you think this is the reason for the erosion of the Central Plains war?" ”

Zhang Hao said: "Your Majesty, this is just the speculation of the minister, and the minister does not use military affairs, so he cannot be sure of this."

Xuanzong was silent for a long time and said: "I will not be long in life, but I didn't expect that I would not be able to calm the civil strife before I died!" Hey······"

The ministers wept bitterly and bowed down one after another: "Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent! ”

Xuanzong took a deep breath and said, "Fang Xuan, plan the edict!" ”

Fang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

When Fang Xuan was ready, Xuanzong said: "From now on, change the North Court to the West Qin, and add Zhao Ziliang as the king of the West Qin, the general of the expedition to the west, and the protector of the capital of the West Qin, the envoy of the camp of the West Qin, the opening of the mansion and the construction of the government, and the eternal town of the West Qin, as the barrier of the western part of the Tang Dynasty!" From the date of recruitment, the military affairs of the conquest of Tibet will be handed over to the accompanying Central Plains Army, and the handover will be completed within a month, and the entire Beiting Army will return to Western Qin, and no one will return to the Central Plains without the will of the imperial court! ”

Li Heng and the ministers were shocked, and said one after another: "Your Majesty, this move must not be!" Once this will is issued, Beiting will definitely become a country of its own, and from then on it will be out of the control of my Tang Dynasty and become a country within a country! Please take back your order! ”

Xuanzong said angrily: "I have made up my mind, who dares to stop and destroy the Nine Clans!" Ahem, cough, cough······ Fang Xuan, and then draft the decree, it is rare to be crowned as the envoy of Longyou Jiedu and the king of Anyang County, and hurried to Longyou to replace Zhao Ziliang to preside over the affairs of Tubo! transferred Li Guangbi as the envoy of the Jiannan Festival, crowned the king of Linhuai County, presided over the border affairs of Tubo and Nanzhao, and set off on the same day; Ordered Guo Ziyi to be fully responsible for the counterinsurgency in the Central Plains, coordinate the armies from all walks of life, and put down Shi Siming's rebellion as soon as possible! ”

"Yes!"

After Fang Xuan's polishing, several holy decrees were quickly written, and Fang Xuan took them and showed them to Xuanzong, who immediately sealed them with jade seals.

The holy decree was quickly sent out by the eunuchs, and Xuanzong said to everyone: "I know what I am doing, prince, I am going to die, if I don't deal with it like this, how will you treat Zhao Ziliang after you ascend the throne?" And how to deal with the generals of other armies? ”

Li Heng hesitated: "This ······"

Xuanzong sighed: "Now Zhao Ziliang can't move, once he moves, the world will collapse!" His military power is too heavy to keep him in the field for a long time, but if you let him enter the court, do you think you can control him? Unless you want to be a puppet emperor! ”

Cold sweat broke out on Li Heng's forehead, "Father······ Zhao Qing wouldn't do that, right? ”

"Confused, people sometimes do things because they are forced out by the situation, and many times they can't help themselves, don't you understand this? Now, only by giving up a piece of land in the north court to settle him will not be able to solve this big problem! When I die, if you have nothing to do, don't recruit him into the court, and if you have something, don't recruit him into the court! Zhao Ziliang is a smart person, I sent this will, he naturally understood what I meant, this is my compromise, and it is also his compromise, unless he wants to watch the world chaos, if a person like him is not forced to do nothing, he will never take risks and cause trouble in the world, so don't mess with him in the future, understand? ”

Li Heng responded: "Erchen has written it down!" ”

Xuanzong was very tired and waved his hand: "Let's go down!" ”

"Wait for the resignation!"

After everyone left, Xuanzong said to Yang Yuhuan: "Yuhuan, the holy decree will be filed today, and it will be issued tomorrow, and then you will go to Longyou with the envoy to see Zhao Ziliang, and when he leads the army back to Western Qin, you will go with him!" ”

Yang Yuhuan said with tears in his eyes: "San Lang ······"

Xuanzong patted her hand and said to Gao Lishi: "Go to Xuanyu Chaoen and Cheng Yuanzhen to come over, and there is a eunuch named Li Fuguo who is a close confidant next to the prince, and he will also announce it!" ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Yu Chaoen, Cheng Yuanzhen and Li Fuguo came to Xuanzong together, "Slave to meet Your Majesty!" ”

Xuanzong said: "Tomorrow there is an edict sent to Longyou to Zhao Ziliang, which will be sent by the three of you, and the concubine Niangniang will also go together, so you must ensure the safety of the mother, otherwise it will ······."

The three of them hurriedly said: "Even if the minions are broken, they must protect the mother and never let the mother be hurt in the slightest!" ”

"Excellent! Niangniang goes to Longxi only the three of you know, this matter is top secret, you are not allowed to leak your words to anyone, the three of you will stay here tonight, you are not allowed to go out to see anyone, tomorrow morning with a hundred Praetorian Guards to escort the holy decree and Niangniang's car to Longyou! ”

"Yes!"
