Chapter 377: Trapped in a Heavenly Prison
Zhao Ziliang made such a play in the court and scared Tian Renwan half to death, he was counting on Zhao Ziliang to go to Hedong to fight for him, and now Zhao Ziliang is beating Li Linfu in the main hall, isn't this the rhythm of looking for death? With such a fuss, Zhao Ziliang's life is difficult to protect, where can he go to Hedong with him?
Young man, after all, he is too impulsive, hey! Tian Renwan sighed deeply in his heart, out of this matter, he can't see death without help, can he raise his eyebrows, hope all falls on Zhao Ziliang, he saw that the emperor was in a good mood at this time, and immediately went out to play: "Your Majesty, General Zhao is young after all, it is the time when the blood is strong, and it is inevitable to act impulsively, Weichen believes that General Zhao's original intention is by no means to offend His Majesty, from this incident, it can be seen that General Zhao is a man of temperament, and not a treacherous person, and General Zhao is brilliant in both Anxi and Hexi, Even compared with General Wang Zhonghe, Huangfu Weiming, and General Fumeng Lingjing, it is not much better, and please let Your Majesty see that he has worked hard and made a light comeback, and the old minister dares to guarantee with a black veil on his head, General Zhao is loyal to His Majesty and the court, Your Majesty is Mingjian! ”
Li Linfu didn't like to hear this, he immediately glared at Tian Renwan angrily: "Lord Tian, Zhao Ziliang beat his face in front of His Majesty and the ministers in the court, don't you want the face of the face?" Zhao Ziliang is despising His Majesty and contempt the discipline of the imperial court! ”
After refuting Tian Renwan, Li Linfu began to cry to Xuanzong again: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for the old minister, if Your Majesty doesn't seek justice for the old minister, there is no place for the old minister's old face······."
At this time, the crown prince Li Heng finally seized the opportunity to speak, and he came out of class with a board and scolded Li Linfu: "Hmph, Li Xiang is trying to force his father to attack a hero like General Zhao?" You are trying to frame your father and the emperor for not being able to tolerate loyal ministers and good generals, it is really dampening! Besides, what General Zhao said is not unreasonable, the front-line soldiers are fighting with the Tubo people with their heads, but you, the prime minister, are stabbing in the back. ”
"You ······" Li Linfu was so angry that he stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed at the crown prince Li Heng, and immediately faced Xuanzong and cried: "Your Majesty, the old minister is sincere to His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty, and his loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon, Your Majesty has to be the master of the old minister, otherwise the old minister will not be able to live!" ”
Li Longji looked at the prince and Li Linfu, and then at Zhao Ziliang, his mood began to be irritable again, and he waved his hand and said: "How to deal with Zhao Ziliang, I have my own measure, no one is allowed to say it anymore, come here, put Zhao Ziliang in the prison and wait for the fall!" ”
"Your Majesty, General Huangfu has no heart to resist the will, please don't listen to the slanderous rumors of traitorous ministers······" Before Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he was escorted down by the armor in front of the palace.
Outside the hall, Zhao Ziliang broke free from the control of several people, and said angrily: "Let go, Lao Tzu will leave by himself!" Touch Lao Tzu again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you to death? Also, bring Lao Tzu's war sword, if you lose it, Lao Tzu will kill you! ”
The leader of the armor soldier said with a bitter face: "General, we are just a small soldier guarding the door in front of the palace, and the general is a battlefield general, so don't embarrass me to wait, the villain will immediately go to retrieve the treasure knife for the general, the general and rest assured!" ”
In the Zichen Palace, after Zhao Ziliang was escorted down, Xuanzong asked: "Don't urge Xihai County for the time being, give Huangfu Weiming some more time, as for the Tubo envoys, Li Linfu, you go and tell them that since my Tang Dynasty has reached a peace negotiation agreement with Tubo, I will definitely not break my word, and this matter is decided!" What else does the Zhongqing family have to play? If you have nothing to do, just retreat! ”
"Your Majesty!" Tian Renwan arched his hand and said: "The army of Hedong and Shuofang is dispatched, the daily consumption is huge, and now the food and salary are scarce, General Wang Zhongsi sent people to urge Weichen to send troops to escort food and ordnance to the past, Weichen is to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall and do his best to raise grain and grass for General Wang Zhongsi, but the army has been out for a long time, the consumption is too great, and it is really difficult for Weichen to maintain, Weichen came to Beijing this time to ask His Majesty for ordnance and food, and please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to allocate grain, grass and ordnance!" ”
Xuanzong looked at Wang Langzhong and asked, "Wang Langzhong, how much more money can be transferred from the treasury?" ”
Wang Ji came out of the class and reported with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, now Anxi, Hexi and Youzhou and other border areas are using troops everywhere, and the military expenditure is becoming increasingly huge, and the household department really can't come up with the money, and Weichen has calculated that he can only allocate 1.5 million yuan at most!" ”
Xuanzong frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Take out 500,000 guan from my coin to make up 2 million guan, and the military department will buy grain, grass, ordnance and materials, and hand them over to Lord Tian to bring!" ”
"Yes!"
Several principals of the household department and the military department returned to their original positions after saluting and agreeing, only Tian Renwan remained in place, Xuanzong was a little surprised, and asked, "Is there anything else to do with Tian Qing?" ”
Tian Renwan saluted and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, there is no general in the armies of Hedong and several prefectures and counties, so every battle can only be reduced to the foil of the Shuofang army, Weichen is ashamed of his trust, in fact, with the strength of the Hedong Army, as long as there is a general in the town, the Hedong Army can completely enter the Shuofang Army to share the worries of His Majesty, Weichen has a reluctant request, now Zhao Ziliang has returned to Beijing to report on his work, there is no longer a job, Weichen asked His Majesty to transfer Zhao Ziliang's army to Hedong, Now the post of the soldier and horse envoy of the left wing of Hedong and the post of the military envoy of Datong are still vacant, and Zhao Ziliang is just competent."
Before Xuanzong could speak, Li Linfu jumped out and shouted: "No, Zhao Ziliang beat the old man in front of His Majesty and the ministers above the court, it is really a great crime, how can you go to your Hedong post, Lord Tian, what do you mean?" Is it because you can't get along with the old man? ”
At this time, the crown prince Li Heng seized the opportunity to stand up and attack Li Linfu: "Li Xiang, before your father has spoken, you can't wait to jump out to oppose it, when can you give orders on behalf of your father?" Lord Tian's request can only be decided by his father, and only his father can decide on General Zhao's affairs."
Li Linfu was taken aback, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty of a capital crime, but the old minister will never dare to overstep his bounds, please let Your Majesty know it!" ”
Xuanzong was most afraid that someone would take away his power, and he was very angry after listening to Li Heng's words, although Li Linfu tried his best to explain, he was still very dissatisfied with Li Linfu, and snorted coldly with an unkind face: "Hmph, I won't speak in the future, you should intervene less, otherwise I will let people sew up your mouth!" ”
Li Linfu was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the old minister is guilty, and the old minister will never dare again!" ”
Xuanzong said to Tian Renwan at this time: "Tian Qing's family, I can't promise you for the time being about transferring Zhao Ziliang to Hedong, he is too presumptuous, he dares to make a big fuss in front of me, and not punishing is not enough to convince the public, I have my own decision in this matter, except for Zhao Ziliang, who do you fancy Just say it, I will try my best to meet your requirements!" ”
"This ······" Tian Renwan sighed: "Your Majesty, except for General Zhao, Weichen doesn't want anyone, Weichen recognizes him, since Your Majesty refuses to cut love, forget about this matter!" ”
Xuanzong was not reluctant, nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Li Linfu immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, it was decided to send Ashina Xin back to the Turkish as the ten surnamed Khan, and they are almost ready, but the leading general who escorted him back has not yet decided, and I also ask Your Majesty to judge!" ”
"There is a problem with the selection of the leading general of this escort!" Xuanzong said and thought about it, there are countless generals in the court, but most of them have positions, and for a while, I really can't think of who to send to lead the troops to escort Ashina Xin to Tuqishi.
After thinking about it for a while, Xuanzong didn't think of who to send, so he had to say: "I think about this matter again, let's put it down first!" Is there anything else you can do? ”
All the ministers were silent, Xuanzong shook his sleeves, got up and said, "Retreat!" ”
The news that Zhao Ziliang was taken into the prison spread throughout Chang'an City just after the end of the court meeting, and Zhaojia Villa also quickly got the news, the entire Zhao Mansion was gloomy, and the guards were excited, especially the black Nuer and the chief of the guard, Bolhan, were all shouting to enter the prison and rob the prison, Nie Sanniang was even more impatient to do it, Wang Can, Gong Ren, Chen Qing and others were shocked after getting the news, and immediately found a way to go to the prison to buy the jailer and Zhao Ziliang to meet.
Just been imprisoned, Zhao Ziliang was quite clean, his armor had not been taken off, his complexion was fine, and he couldn't see the expression of being in prison.
Wang Can said sadly: "The general fought on the battlefield for the country, blood-stained the territory, wandered in life and death dozens of times, and made great contributions, but now he has ended up like this, the saint is unfair, the court is unfair!" ”
Zhao Ziliang smiled and comforted: "It is also my Zhao Ziliang to blame for falling into this step, no wonder others, a certain is still too impulsive, in the main hall, I saw that Li Linfu's old thing was advancing on the saint and slandering and framing General Huangfu, I couldn't help but beat him, hehehe, hey, it would be good if I beat him to death ruthlessly at that time, even if I wanted to die, I pulled Li Linfu's back, and it was not a loss!" I slapped me twice, and I didn't feel good, and I didn't get this breath out of my heart! You don't have to worry, you can't die, you just beat Li Linfu and didn't kill him, the saint won't kill you! A certain is a little worried about the family, now I am afraid that the family has learned that a certain person is in prison, you go out and go to a certain house immediately, Nuer and Brehan are a little impulsive, a certain is worried that they will do irrational things, a certain is most worried about Sanniang, she has a strong temperament, never put the court law and discipline in her eyes, a certain is worried that she will do stupid things, you go and stop them, just say that a certain is very good here, let them rest assured, it will not be long before they will go out! ”
Wang Can and others really have little confidence in Zhao Ziliang's statement that the emperor will not kill him, you must know that beating the prime minister in front of the emperor and all the ministers in the court, this kind of thing has never happened in all dynasties, but now it happened in the Tang Dynasty, this matter has broken the sky, and the emperor will easily spare it?
When Wang Can and the others hurried to the Zhao family Zhuangzi, the Zhao family Zhuangzi was already in chaos, hundreds of guards were sharpening their knives, under the leadership of Brehan and Nur, the Whirlwind Eighteen Cavalry was preparing for the prison robbery, and Nie Sanniang was also silently planning to enter the prison to rescue Zhao Ziliang.
When Chen Qingying and the others heard that Wang Can and others were coming, they immediately asked people to take them into the villa, and when they saw Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang, Wang Can and the others immediately bowed down and said, "Meet the two ladies!" ”
Chen Qingying raised her hand and said, "The three generals are exempt!" ”
"Thank you, ma'am!"
At this time, Brehan said loudly: "Three brothers, my general has made a lot of achievements, loyal to the emperor and the court, but now he has ended up like this, we must not watch the general be killed by His Majesty's order, so I decided to rob the prison, the general was not thin on the three before, should the three repay the general?" ”
Wang Can hurriedly said: "The two ladies, General Brehan, at this time, don't be impulsive, don't hide it, before coming here, I have already found a way to go to the prison to see the general, the general has something to ask me to wait for the lady and you, the general said that he is fine, the emperor will not kill him, let the two ladies and you don't worry, the last general and others also found out the things above the court, the emperor just ordered the general to be put in the prison, and did not say that he wanted to kill the general, so you must be a little restless, don't impulsively hurt the general!" ”
Under the kind words and persuasion of Wang Can and others, Brehan, Nur, Whirlwind Eighteen Cavalry and hundreds of personal guards and servants finally gave up their plans to rob the prison, and waited for the development of the situation before making a decision. (To be continued.) )
