Wang Zheng left happily after receiving the holy decree, and the officials who stayed behind also congratulated Zhao Ziliang, after Zhao Ziliang sent away the officials, he was about to set up a banquet to find Cheng Yuanzhen, Cheng Yuanzhen stepped forward with a smile and said: "Congratulations to General Zhao!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Of course I'm happy to be promoted, but this matter makes me a little puzzled, I don't know if I can ask Cheng Gonggong to solve my doubts?" ”

Cheng Yuanzhen drank tea and said with a smile: "If the miscellaneous family knows, they will naturally tell the general, what does the general want to know?" ”

Zhao Ziliang got up and paced in the inner hall, and said as he walked: "The post of Jiedu envoy is a feudal official, I heard that Li Linfu in order to prevent the border town Jiedu envoy from entering the center to become the prime minister to replace his position, so he resigned from Shuofang Jiedu envoy, and recommended An Sishun to take over the post of Shuofang Jiedu envoy, with his festival with me Zhao, how could he watch me take over as the Beiting Jiedu envoy?" ”

Li Linfu wears many hats, not only as the prime minister in the court, but also remotely leads the Anxi Dadu Protector, Shan Yu Deputy Dadu Protector, Shuofang Jiedu Envoy and other positions, Anxi Dadu Protector and Shan Yu Deputy Dadu Protector can be remotely led, these two positions have no real power, but Shuo Fang Jiedu is the real power of the border town, this position must not be remote or even vacant for a long time, otherwise there will be a big problem, the prince, other ministers in the court and even the emperor will not let Shuo Fang Jiedu make the post of Shuo Fang Jiedu be led by Li Linfu for too long, Sooner or later, the imperial court will send other people to Lingwu to take over the post of Shuofang Jiedu envoy, Li Linfu is the prime minister, of course, he can't go to Lingwu in person to take office, so Li Linfu himself first handed over the position of Shuofang Jiedu envoy, and recommended An Sishun to be the Shuofang Jiedu envoy.

There is more than one person who is qualified to serve as the Shuofang Jiedu envoy, why did Li Linfu recommend An Sishun to serve as the Shuofang Jiedu envoy? Because the "general" who was qualified to be the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu was the only one in the dynasty, An Sishun was the only one, and it was precisely because he was a general that Li Linfu recommended him, and if it was a Han general, Li Linfu would not recommend him, nor would he allow the Han general to serve as the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been many famous and talented generals among the generals, such as Ashina Daoer, Qibi He Li and others are loyal and talented, and they have never served as the generals of the border towns. In the Kaiyuan period, Zhang Jiazhen, Wang Hui, Zhang Shuo, Xiao Song, Du Xian and others all entered the court as prime ministers, Li Linfu in view of the precedent of the border town festival envoy to enter the dynasty as the prime minister, in order to consolidate his position, he had to find a way to prevent the border town festival envoy from entering the court, so he thought that if those generals were appointed as the envoys, they would not have the opportunity to be the envoys, because most of these generals were illiterate, and because they were aliens, the court would not let these aliens be the prime ministers anyway, so they had to reuse the generals, in order to prevent the envoy of the border town from entering the dynasty as the prime minister, this is the real reason why Li Linfu often suggested that Emperor Xuanzong reuse the generals.

Cheng Yuanzhen listened to Zhao Ziliang's question, looked left and right, Zhao Ziliang knew what he meant, and immediately said to his son Zhao Lei: "Zhao Lei, you all go down!" ”

After Zhao Lei and the people serving around him retreated, only Zhao Ziliang and Cheng Yuanzhen were left in the inner hall, and Cheng Yuanzhen said: "The general should know that Li Linfu has monopolized power all these years, how can the saint not notice it?" It's just that the saint can't do without him, so he has been let go for so many years. In the past two years, the saint has become a little more estranged from Li Linfu, and he is quite fond of Yang Guozhong, the cousin of the concubine Niangniang, and according to the miscellaneous family, the saint wants to use Yang Guozhong to restrain Li Linfu! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Yang Guozhong does have this condition, he is the cousin of the concubine, and the backer is very hard, Li Linfu really has to weigh one or two to deal with him!" But what does that have to do with what I just said? ”

Cheng Yuanzhen took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Of course it matters, the contradiction between Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong has become bigger and bigger recently, and the imperial court has quarreled very much over who will take over the post of Beiting Jiedu envoy, Li Linfu recommended Li Guangbi, Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu did not deal with it, so he objected, he said to the emperor that Li Guangbi is a general your student, if Li Guangbi is allowed to take over the post of Beiting Jiedu envoy, wouldn't it be to let the student be the chief official and let the teacher be the deputy?" What makes sense? Besides, Li Guangbi is a general, and now An Lushan is also the envoy of Fanyang Jiedu, Hedong Jiedu, Lulong Jiedu, An Sishun is the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, Ge Shuhan is the envoy of Longyou Jiedu and concurrently serves as Hexi Jiedu envoy, Xian Yu Zhongtong is the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, I am the envoy of the top ten border towns, and the general has already accounted for more than half, once something happens, the consequences are unimaginable! And general, you are the teacher of Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, An Sishun and others, only by making you the general of the border town can you suppress these fierce generals! After Yang Guozhong finished speaking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also stood up to speak, strongly recommending you to be the protector of the Northern Court and the envoy of the camp, and the Holy Lord then adopted the suggestions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yang Guozhong! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded after hearing this, and wondered in his heart, the crown prince Li Heng actually joined forces with Yang Guozhong? It seems that Li Linfu is so bad that he has no friends, and even people like Yang Guozhong will turn against him.

"With Li Linfu and my festival, he will not let me serve as the border town festival no matter what, it turns out that my position as the envoy of the Beiting Festival is the result of the fight between Yang Guozhong, the prince and Li Linfu, they fought to the death, but let me, a bystander, pick up a ready-made cheap!"

Cheng Yuanzhen said with a smile: "This is also the reason why the miscellaneous family wants to congratulate the general!" ”

"Come on, Father-in-law Cheng, drink tea and drink tea, this North Courtyard is located in a remote place, there is no good tea, but there are also specialties here, I have asked someone to get it, I will let you taste it later!"

Cheng Yuanzhen was quite interested in the special product that Zhao Ziliang said, and asked, "I don't know what kind of special product it is?" ”

"You'll know if you've eaten it!"

Zhao Ziliang asked people to send roasted whole sheep, roasted whole sheep is available in many places in the north, but it is very different here in Beiting, mainly because of its taste and roasting method, adding a lot of ingredients that are only available in the Western Regions, Cheng Yuanzhen was full of praise after eating.

The two chatted while eating mutton, and Zhao Ziliang asked: "Not long ago, I sent someone to Chang'an to send good news, at the end of the good news, I suggested that the imperial court call the area west of the Green Ridge under the jurisdiction of my Tang Dynasty 'Taixi', and set up the 'Taixi Protectorate' to manage this area, I don't know how the imperial court reacted, does Gonggong Cheng know?"

Cheng Yuanzhen shook his head and said: "The miscellaneous family has never heard of the DPRK and China discussing this matter before they came to Beiting from Chang'an, maybe the general's good news has not been sent to Chang'an at that time!" ”

Zhao Ziliang calculated the time, Cheng Yuanzhen should have set off for Beiting before his good news arrived in Chang'an, and nodded: "It's possible!" ”

Cheng Yuanzhen took a bite of mutton, took out an official document from his arms and said: "Before the miscellaneous family came, the prince asked the miscellaneous family to send Du Yanhong's transfer official document, by the way, please take a look at it!" ”

The waiter next to him took the official document and handed it to Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang took it and looked at it, and said: "Lord Du is a rare good official in the North Court, to be honest, the official is really a little reluctant to let him go, but since it is an order from the imperial court, of course it is inconvenient for me to stop it!" Come on, let Du Jianhong come over! ”

"No!"

On September 20, Du Jianhong returned to Chang'an with Cheng Yuanzhen, Wang Zhengjian went to Anxi to take over the post of deputy protector of Anxi and envoy of the four towns, while Zhao Ziliang took over the protection of the Beiting capital and the envoy of the camp festival.

On this day, Zhao Ziliang also officially exercised the military and political power of Beiting as the envoy of the Beiting Festival, and more carefully and deeply transformed the military organization and institutions of the Beiting, the imperial court has a clear customization of the government order system of the border town, which is not easy to change, but the military aspect is different, the military organization, institution and military establishment of the ten major festival towns are different, and if you want to change, as long as you can control the scene.

Since Zhao Ziliang had already carried out a great degree of reorganization and training of the Beiting Army before, this time it was just done more thoroughly, Zhao Ziliang did not have any scruples this time, because there were no eunuchs in the Beiting Army. Beiting is very different from Anxi, Anxi has the emperor sent a prison army, but Beiting does not, this is mainly because the Beiting was controlled by Anxi before, since Anxi has a prison army, the North Court does not need it, and later Anxi and Beiting are separated, not under each other, the emperor may also forget, has not sent a prison army to Beiting, but sending eunuchs to supervise the army is not a common practice, the emperor thinks it is necessary to send a prison army, for example, An Lushan is also the envoy of the three towns festival, because of the trust of Xuanzong, Xuanzong did not send him a prison army.

Now that it has entered October and winter is approaching, Zhao Ziliang convened the military and political officials, generals, and colonels to discuss the matter, and after arranging the tasks for the winter, he decided to prepare to thoroughly improve the military reform before the winter begins, so that this new system can form a stable system in order to maintain or enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

After stabilizing this set of military systems, Zhao Ziliang decided to conduct a special winter training this winter. In later generations, whether it is physical training or military training, winter training is very important, because the temperature is low in winter, the human body is affected by low temperature metabolism, winter special training can speed up the metabolism, the second spring is easy to produce results, and the results are improved quickly, and summer training, is also very important, which is why people who practice martial arts want to practice in summer and winter practice.

The role of winter training and summer training is far more than that, but also to improve the army's ability to prevent heat and cold, now in the era of the Tang Dynasty, when the weather is cold, the army can insist on daily drills are very few, let alone summer training and winter training.

On October 18, Zhao Ziliang adjusted some positions in the army, and recommended Lai Yao, the governor of the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion, to Tingzhou to serve as the Beiting Soldier and Horse Envoy, and the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion was appointed by Chu Ge, and Zhao Hu was the deputy governor; The desert military envoy was appointed by Wei Meng; The Tianshan military envoy was appointed by Bai Xiaode, and the post of Han naval envoy was still held by Zhao Ziliang himself, with Li Sheng and Fugu Huaien as deputies; Liu Wei and Dugu Jun are the chief staff; high and appropriate judge of moderation; Cen Shen joined the army for the record, and the positions of some other generals and officials have changed slightly.
