really became an official, but Li Bai felt that this official was not easy to do, there were too many things to worry about, and he was responsible for the eating, drinking, and Lazar of the county officials and officials under his hands, and the lives of the people under his rule were all pointed to him, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep during the days of resettlement of refugees.

"It's not easy to be an official!" Li Bai was very emotional.

Marshal's House.

After Zhao Ziliang finished handling his official duties, he stretched his waist, looked at Du Fu, who was copying official documents next to him, and asked, "Senator Du, how is the Li County Order doing these days?" ”

Du Fu heard Zhao Ziliang's inquiry, put down his pen and replied: "Li County's order has slowly entered the state, and he has been dealing with the resettlement of refugees these days!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Li Bai has the heart and ambition to do things for the people, which is good, his disadvantage is that his heart is too high, but he has no experience in doing things, you must know that being an official and doing things is not just a matter of thinking about it."

Du Fu said: "Dashuai is right! ”

At this time, Wang Can rushed in and hugged his fists and said: "Marshal, urgent military situation, news came from Yingchuan, the rebel general Yin Ziqi sent a cavalry to suddenly raid the south gate of Yingchuan City, and then the rebels attacked Yingchuan City in a big way, Yingchuan Taishou Xue Yuan and others were killed, Wang Sili and others led troops to start a street battle with the rebels in the city, and the battle lasted day and night but because they were outnumbered, they had to lead their troops to break through in the direction of Ruzhou! ”

Zhao Ziliang's face changed, he involuntarily stood up and walked to the wall to look at the map, and said: "This Yin Ziqi is somewhat capable, the situation is so unfavorable to the rebels, he even dared to send troops to raid Yingchuan, Xue Yuan They are careless!" Where is Wang Sili's ministry now, and how many people are there? ”

Wang Can said: "I have retreated to Ruzhou, there are still 12,000 people left, and more than 8,000 people have been lost!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment, and shouted to the herald: "Come here, order Li Siye, who is stationed in Dengfeng, to lead 50,000 troops to march into Xinzheng, order Laijiao to lead the army to approach Suiyang, and order Lu Jiong's troops to approach Yingchuan!" ”

The rebel Yin Ziqi captured Yingchuan, and he could be connected with Gao Shang, An Shouzhong, Tian Qianzhen, Niu Tingjie and others in Xingyang in the north, and they would be horns with each other, and the two sides could reinforce each other at any time, but if Li Siye captured Xinzheng between Xingyang and Yingchuan, it would be equivalent to cutting off the connection between the two rebels, and if Yin Ziqi did not want his 300,000 army to be surrounded, he would definitely abandon Yingchuan and retreat to Bianzhou, or forcibly open up the connection with Xingyang.

Two days later, Li Siye's 50,000 elites, who received Zhao Ziliang's order, marched east to Xinzheng, and Lu Jiong's troops in Ruzhou in the south also approached Yingchuan.

On May 28, the advance of the Lu Jiong Department encountered the Yin Ziqi rebels thirty miles west of Yingchuan, and the two sides had a bloody battle, the Lu Jiong Department lost a little due to the lack of troops, and retreated thirty miles to wait for the main force of the army, and the rebel Yin Ziqi Department also felt unprecedented pressure, and the news also came from Suiyang in the east at this time that the Yao Department was making a comeback, and Xinzheng was being attacked.

Yin Ziqi had to send 50,000 people north to reinforce Xinzheng, fortunately, the distance between the two places was not very far, and the army only took two days to arrive, which was regarded as holding Xinzheng in time and keeping the connection between Xingyang and Yingchuan, but at this time the rebels were already under the attack from both sides, although Yin Ziqi captured Yingchuan at this time, but still could not reverse the overall strategic unfavorable situation of the rebels.

······

Chang'an, Daming Palace.

Zhao Ziliang recovered the eastern capital of Luoyang, so that the situation of the great cause of counterinsurgency is good, according to this, the end of the rebels is not far away, this credit is not small, no matter what the court says, Zhao Ziliang and his generals will be rewarded, but the court has different opinions on the strength of the reward, has been arguing about the subordinates, undecided.

Xuanzong is also a little difficult to decide on this matter, on the one hand, because Zhao Ziliang's current military power is too large, he does not doubt Zhao Ziliang's loyalty, but he is worried that Zhao Ziliang will be coerced or bewitched by the generals under his command, on the other hand, the official position has reached the top, and the military general has been promoted to Tai Lieutenant, which is already above 10,000 people under one person, and can no longer be promoted.

On the first day of the sixth month, after the end of the court meeting, Xuanzong left the prime ministers Wei Jiansu, Fang Xuan, Cui Yuan, Cui Lian, Zhang Hao, Miao Jinqing and others to discuss the reward for Zhao Ziliang and his generals.

Xuanzong said: "Since the recovery of Luoyang, the imperial court's reward for Zhao Ziliang and his generals has been delayed, this matter can not be delayed any longer, it must be determined today, what do you think?" ”

Several prime ministers looked at each other, and Cui Lian, the servant of the Yellow Gate and the Pingzhang of the Tongzhong Shumen, stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, now that Zhao Ziliang's official rank has been promoted, if you want to be rewarded, you can only reward the title!" ”

Xuanzong asked: "What kind of title do you think Zhongqing should give him?" ”

Wei Jiansu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, even Zhao Ziliang himself once said that the reward should not span too much, he did not have a title before, and now he can be named a marquis!" ”

Zhang Hao stood up and shook his head and said, "It's not proper, it's very inappropriate!" Zhao Ziliang had already been canonized as a marquis many years ago, but at that time, he was taken away as a marquis for some reason, and now he is a marquis, isn't it a slap in the face? If it were you Wei Xiang, would you feel comfortable? ”

When Zhao Ziliang was deprived of the title of marquis, most of these people were officials in the court, but their official positions were not high, but they were very clear about this matter.

Fang Xuan also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, everyone, who has the greatest military exploits between Ge Shuhan and Zhao Ziliang?" Competent? Ge Shuhan can be named the king of Xiping County, but Zhao Ziliang is given a marquis, Zhao Ziliang himself may feel that it doesn't matter, but what about the generals under his command? ”

Xuanzong thought for a while and said: "Then let's be crowned the king of the county, his ancestral home is Jiangling, so he will be canonized as the king of Jiangling!" ”

Wei Jiansu said: "The old minister thinks it is feasible, but ······ According to the current progress of the counterinsurgency and the current situation, Lao Chen believes that Zhao Ziliang should be temporarily relieved of military power, seeing that the rebel army is not far from being destroyed, at this time, let Zhao Ziliang unload military power, on the one hand, let him take over the negotiation with the Tibetan side, this is a major matter, he is the initiator, let him be in charge of this matter is the best; On the other hand, it is also to protect him, his current military power is too great! Of course, His Majesty and the ministers all believe that there will be no problem with his loyalty, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be deceived and bewitched by his subordinates, so the old minister suggested that Zhao Ziliang's military power should be withdrawn for the time being, and another merit could be selected to take over the counterinsurgency! ”

"This ····· What do you think? Xuanzong asked.

It's really hard for the prime ministers to decide whether to agree or disagree, everyone knows that Xuanzong really doesn't want to see Zhao Ziliang's military power too much, this is not a matter of distrust, this is the instinct of being the emperor, to prevent the minister's power from being too great and endangering the country, but if you agree with Wei Jiansu's proposal, it sounds good for Zhao Zi to be good, and if it is not good to say, it is to unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge, and everyone can be a good person, but it is not so easy to be a wicked person.

Fang Xuan and Zhang Hao did not say anything, Cui Yuan, Cui Jian and Miao Jinqing successively expressed their approval, Xuanzong thought for a long time and then ordered: "Canonize Zhao Ziliang as the king of Jiangling County, transfer back to Chang'an to take charge of Tubo affairs, and appoint Wang Chengye, the general of Yulin, as the marshal of the Eastern Expedition to counter-insurgency, and rush to Luoyang to take office from now on!" ”

From the appointment, it can be seen that Wang Chengye's position is that of the marshal of the Eastern Expedition to counterinsurgency, not the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, and there is no relevant word that he is fully responsible for counterinsurgency matters, and his authority and position are much smaller.

The edict was sent to the Marshal Luoyang's mansion on the fourth day of the sixth month, and Zhao Ziliang led the generals and officials to bow down and listen to the eunuch Yu Chaoen read the edict.

“······ Lord Zhao, take the edict! Yu Chaoen smiled and handed over the edict.

Before Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand to receive the edict, Bai Xiaode next to him suddenly stood up and shouted: "What kind of bullshit edict is this, the great cause of counterinsurgency has just started, and the imperial court is about to seize the military power of the marshal, what is this for?" Do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge? Or do you want to 'die of cunning rabbits and cook for lackeys'? There must be traitors in the DPRK and China! Dashuai, why don't I wait for the army to return to the side of Qingjun in Chang'an, kill all the traitors first, and then come back to quell the rebellion! Like now, we are waiting for a bloody battle in front, there is always someone stabbing a knife in the back, this battle can't be fought, today they treat the handsome like this, who knows that tomorrow they will not treat us like this? ”

Yu Chaoen was frightened, and hurriedly said: "The general is angry, angry, don't be reckless, the imperial court also has the consideration of the imperial court, and besides, didn't the imperial court canonize Zhao Dashuai as the king of Jiangling County?" Jin Feng Wangjue, my dynasty has not had anything for many years, and the court is not thin on Zhao Dashuai! ”

Chu Ge said coldly: "Hmph, it's better to say than to sing, what's the use of an empty prince?" What I'm worried about is that the imperial court has seized the military power of the marshal today, and I don't know if he will issue an edict to demote the marshal to a remote area in the future, and then give the marshal to death, repeating the mistakes of the emperor Fu Weiming, Wang Zhongsi and others? ”

Li Sheng stood up and shouted: "What's the use of saying this, see Lao Tzu cut this dog eunuch with a knife, and when he raises troops to kill Chang'an, kill all those traitorous ministers, the court will be quiet, only in this way can we quell the rebellion with peace of mind!" ”

Xueliang's steel knife was pulled out, the cold light flashed, Yu Chaoen was so frightened that his buttocks were urinating, and he ran to the feet of Zhao Ziliang and knelt down: "Dashuai help, no matter what happens to the slave and maid, it is Wei Jiansu's old dog who slandered in front of His Majesty, Cui Yuan, Cui Lian and Miao Jinqing and other prime ministers all agreed, the slave and maid are just an errand runner, and this matter has nothing to do with the slave and maid!" ”

Zhao Ziliang frowned and waved his hand at Li Sheng: "What's the use of you killing him?" Put the knife away! ”

Li Sheng glared at Yu Chaoen fiercely, took the waist knife and retreated to the side.

Zhao Ziliang took the edict from Yu Chaoen's hand, opened it and read it, closed his eyes and was silent for a cup of tea before he opened his eyes again, and said to Yu Chaoen: "Father-in-law Yu, there is nothing for you to do here, you return to Chang'an first, I will take the edict, and I will return to Chang'an when I arrange the things here!" ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Yu Chaoen got Zhao Ziliang's permission, where could he stay, and immediately ran out of the marshal's mansion, beckoning his entourage to withdraw quickly, lest Zhao Ziliang regret it.
