At the end of April, Zhao Ziliang returned to Mobei and arrived in Zhenbei City two days later to hold a meeting of the generals, when the meeting was in session, the servant who was responsible for feeding the eagle sent him a small note, which said that a message came from Chang'an: Emperor Fu Weiming was framed by Li Linfu, and the emperor ordered him to be removed from his post as the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, and demoted him to Banchuan Taishou.

It turned out that since Huangfu Weiming returned to the court to offer prisoners, he learned that Li Linfu was dictatorial in the court, blocked the way of speech, excluded dissidents, and framed Zhongliang, so he persuaded Xuanzong to ****** Linfu, and thought that Wei Jian, the secretary of the criminal department, had the talent of the prime minister and could be used. How do you know that when he said this, Xuanzong had a lot of chamberlains and palace maids around him, and Li Linfu had been operating in the palace for many years, and his eyes and ears were everywhere, although he was hit by Zhao Ziliang once, he was soon full of eyeliner in the palace, and Huangfu Weiming persuaded Xuanzong to ****** Linfu's words quickly reached Li Linfu's ears, Li Linfu was furious, and immediately ordered his subordinates to collect evidence of Huangfu Weiming.

Huangfu Weiming also lacks political acumen, as a border general, how can he participate in the appointment and dismissal of the prime minister of the DPRK and China? Besides, the position of the prime minister is much higher than that of a side general, no matter what he says, he is not qualified to say that Li Linfu is not suitable, let alone that Wei Jian has the talent of the prime minister and can be used, and Wei Jian is the prince's brother-in-law, and he is from the prince's mansion in the East Palace, even if it is to avoid suspicion, he should not say such things in front of the emperor, which makes Xuanzong very disgusted.

On the one hand, Xuanzong thought that it was inappropriate for him to recommend his own people to be the prime minister, and on the other hand, Xuanzong thought that he was a little pampered and arrogant, otherwise how could a border general participate in the appointment and dismissal of the prime minister of the DPRK and China?

It is also in line with the unlucky fortune of the emperor Fu Weiming, he met with Wei Jian in the capital to play outside the city, and happened to be seen by Li Linfu's minions Ji Wen, Ji Wen thought this was a good opportunity, and immediately reported to Li Linfu, what kind of person Li Linfu is, political sensitivity is extremely high, he has long found that Xuanzong is a little dissatisfied with Huangfu Weiming's pampering and arrogance, and immediately instigated the official in the court to impeach Wei Jian and the border generals for a private meeting, and wanted to abolish the establishment.

When several officials impeached Wei Jian for a private meeting with the border generals and wanted to abolish the establishment, Xuanzong was furious and ordered the arrest of Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming and put them in prison.

When these two people were imprisoned in the prison, Li Linfu asked a number of ministers who were attached to him to come out to testify, which made Xuanzong suspicious, Xuanzong began to suspect that Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming could really do this kind of thing, after all, Wei Jian is the secretary of the criminal department, and he is an important minister of the imperial court, and Huangfu Weiming is the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, and is one of the most important border generals, Longyou is not far from Jingshi, if the two of them join forces, if Huangfu Weiming's army marches fast, it only takes ten days and half a month to kill Jingshi, and there is Wei Jianli in the outside. With the right planning, it's entirely possible to succeed.

Although Xuanzong doubted, there was no conclusive evidence, Wei Jian was an important minister of the imperial court after all, and Huangfu Weiming was a frontier general after all, in the absence of conclusive evidence, even if the emperor wanted to move them, he had to take into account the public opinion of the government and the opposition.

So Xuanzong issued an edict saying that Wei Jian was seeking official status and had great ambitions, and demoted him to Jinyun Taishou, and said that Huangfu Weiming provoked the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and degraded him to Banchuan Taishou.

In the lobby of the Hou Mansion, Zhao Ziliang's face changed after reading the note, he knew that Huangfu was in danger, but he couldn't do anything.

Bole rarely had a different look on Zhao Ziliang, so he asked, "Master Hou, is there something wrong?" ”

All the generals in the hall looked at Zhao Ziliang, and Zhao Ziliang sighed: "Longyou Jiedu has made General Huangfu Weiming be demoted to Banchuan Taishou!" ”

Brehan exclaimed, "Why is this happening? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "General Huangfu was playing outside the city with Wei Jian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, during his stay in Beijing, but was seen by Li Linfu's minions, Li Linfu used this as an excuse to frame Wei Jian's private meeting with the border generals, and wanted to abolish the matter, His Majesty was furious, and arrested the two in prison at the beginning, but there was no evidence, so the two were demoted!" ”

Zhao Hu, who had been promoted to Zhaowu Lieutenant, stood up and arched his hand: "Uncle, I heard that you were taken care of and valued by General Huangfu when you were in Hexi, and now General Huangfu is in trouble, why don't you write a letter to your majesty to intercede?" With His Majesty's favor to the second uncle, he should reinstate the imperial general, right? ”

"No, never!" Cheng Yuanzhen was shocked when he heard this. After all, he has been in the palace for a long time, he is quite familiar with political struggles, and he is also very sensitive, and Zhao Ziliang gets along well with him, he can't bear Zhao Ziliang being dragged into this matter, when it comes to the throne, the emperor doesn't care who you are, even if it is your own father, you can kill it, let alone a side general.

A general in the hall asked, "Father-in-law Cheng, why not?" ”

Cheng Yuanzhen said: "Since Hou Ye is not a person from any of the forces in the DPRK and China, it is best not to get involved in this kind of thing, and it is too late to intervene now, if Hou Ye Shangshu intercedes for General Huangfu, not only can he not save General Huangfu, but he may also die faster, and I am afraid that even Hou Ye will be deliberately involved by someone with a heart!" ”

Hearing Cheng Yuanzhen's words, Zhao Hu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said to Zhao Ziliang: "Second uncle, my son is stupid, and he almost broke a big deal, please punish my uncle!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was very satisfied with Zhao Hu's attitude of daring to admit his mistakes, raised his hand and said: "Forget it, you are still young, this matter should be a lesson for you, you must pay attention in the future, listen more, watch more, think more, don't express your opinions easily!" ”

"Yes, uncle!"

Although there has been no evidence that Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming want to abolish the establishment, Xuanzong has always suffered from gains and losses, and he is really not at ease, coupled with Li Linfu's slanderous words in his ears all day long, Xuanzong finally couldn't help but give Huangfu Weiming an order to die.

Only half a month later, news came from Chang'an that Huangfu Weiming was given death by the emperor's decree during the tenure of Banchuan Taishou. And Wei Jian is okay for the time being, he is just a minister, Xuanzong is not worried that he can still make waves after being demoted, when Huangfu Weiming is different, Huangfu Weiming has been a border general for a long time, his military achievements are great, and his reputation in the army is very high, even if he is demoted to Banchuan Taishou, Xuanzong is still not at ease with him, so he can only give him death.

After reading the note in his hand, Zhao Ziliang fell to the chair in despair, Brehan had never seen such a look on Zhao Ziliang's face, and asked worriedly: "Master Hou, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Ziliang muttered: "General Huangfu is dead, he was given death by the emperor!" ”

"Ahh Brehan was shocked, "How so?" How can General Huangfu say that he is also a good general with great military achievements, how can the emperor say that if he wants to die, let him die? ”

Cheng Yuanzhen just walked into the lobby when he happened to hear Zhao Ziliang say the news, and said, "What is this?" Today's saint is most afraid of someone staring at his throne, out of this kind of look, the saint has always held the attitude of 'rather believe in what he has, not believe in his nothing', even the prince has been repeatedly suspicious, the prince has been abolished two, what is a minister? ”

Zhao Ziliang arched his hand: "Father-in-law also knows about this?" ”

"I just heard about it, hey, our family understands Hou Ye's feelings, as the saying goes, 'the rabbit dies and the fox is sad', not to mention the friendship between Hou Ye and General Huangfu, but please take care of Hou Ye, don't be decadent!"

Zhao Ziliang rubbed his face, waved his hand and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, Ben Jiang will not be intimidated by this matter!" ”

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Zhao Ziliang had to convene a meeting of generals and officials to stabilize the people's hearts, pay close attention to training and ideological work, and could not relax in military discipline.

On this day, Zhao Ziliang invited Cheng Yuanzhen to come over to discuss, and said: "Father-in-law Cheng, you have also seen it, even my Mobei Army has made people's hearts fluctuate because of this matter, the soldiers are chilling, the armies in Hedong are only afraid that the situation will be worse, the situation here has stabilized, and the general wants to rush back to Hedong to sit in town, so as not to make the situation out of control, and it will be too late to solve it at that time, father-in-law, what do you think?" ”

Whether the army's morale is stable or not is a big thing, once the army mutinies, it is not a joke, Cheng Yuanzhen is also concerned in his heart, fortunately there are Zhao Ziliang and other high-ranking generals in Mobei to suppress the soldiers below, and others are afraid that something will happen long ago.

Now that the situation of the Mobei Army has stabilized, he is also relieved, so he said to Zhao Ziliang: "Yes, yes, Hou Ye should rush back to Hedong as soon as possible, just have our family here!" ”

"Then everything will be up to Father-in-law!"

Zhao Ziliang instructed people to pack up and prepare a little and then set off overnight, all the way back to Yunzhou, this time the speed was faster, Zhao Ziliang only took the whirlwind eighteen horses, only four days to enter the customs, the fifth day rushed back to Yunzhou.

Zhao Ziliang didn't have time to rest at all, and after arriving in Yunzhou, he immediately rushed to the Hengye Army to inspect, and a riot was quelled at the Hengye Army station, and the four most ferocious captains and military leaders were killed on the spot to suppress the position and stabilize the army's heart.

Zhao Ziliang also ordered all the armies in Hedong, including the soldiers of the prefectures, counties and counties, to stay in the barracks, and no one was allowed to go out, except for the holy decree and his Zhao Ziliang's military order, they were not allowed to accept any transfers, except for the soldiers who stood guard on duty and patrolled and guarded the barracks, all other soldiers must hand over all weapons, bows and arrows, and store them in a unified manner, and they were not allowed to open the treasury without an order.

Zhao Ziliang handled it in a very timely and proper manner, only the Hengye Army of the Hedong Army had a small riot, and the morale of the other armies began to stabilize after he issued military orders and measures, and then Zhao Ziliang inspected the Tianbing Army, the Datong Army, the Lan Army and the Yunzhong Guard, and the situation was relatively good, and there was no mutiny.

During this period, there were some mutinies in the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty, although they were all suppressed in the end, but the losses were not small, the trust of the generals in the imperial court began to be discounted, and the soldiers were born and died in the frontiers.
