Chapter 992: See the Emperor in the Inner Palace

"Very good!" Zhao Ziliang glanced at Ju Wenzhen, and after taking the military power of the Shence Army in his hand, he said to the ministers: "The siege of Xiangyang must be lifted as soon as possible, if the troops are transferred from Guanzhong, you must first prepare for grain, grass, ordnance and salary, it takes too long, Xiangyang's brother Shuyao is only afraid that he can't afford to wait, the nearest army is Liang Chongyi's department in Dengzhou, but Liang Chongyi's department is not very obedient to the dispatch, since Liang Chongyi is in the name of revenge for Laiyao to gather soldiers and horses arrogantly, it means that this person is not completely anti-minded, if he wants to rebel, the generals under his command are only afraid that they will not agree." , at least in a short period of time, he is not in a position to rebel, then the imperial court may be able to withdraw the opportunity of this army of soldiers and horses, so this king thinks about it, or thinks that he should send a debater to Dengzhou to persuade Liang Chongyi to send troops to relieve the siege of Xiangyang! At the same time, it is also necessary to send a group of soldiers and horses to Xiangyang, in case Liang Chongyi really cannot be recovered, the imperial court can only send this army to relieve the siege of Xiangyang! Ladies and gentlemen, who volunteered to go to Dengzhou to persuade Liang Chongyi to send troops? ”

Liang Chongyi has not listened to the orders of the imperial court for a long time, and has always been arrogant and arrogant, to persuade him? People who don't have a certain amount of eloquence are afraid that they will be killed as fine works as soon as they enter Liang Chongyi's sphere of influence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

No one stood up, and the ministers and generals whispered to each other.

Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "Hmph, aren't you all able to speak well in the court?" Why, is it possible to convince a Liang Chongyi that there is no such talent? Or are you talented but don't have the courage to go? Worried about being killed by Liang Chongyi? ”

All the ministers were said by Zhao Ziliang to bow their heads, in the past, the ministers could speak well in front of Li Yu, at that time, because Li Yu was weak, he was hesitant to do things, and he lacked decisiveness. Now that Zhao Ziliang is in charge, Zhao Ziliang is a strong figure, and the arrogance of the courtiers has been suppressed.

Zhao Ziliang looked at the ministers, and his eyes fell on Yan Zhenqing and Guo Ziyi, both of whom had been sent to the rebel army and successfully persuaded the rebels to surrender or retreat.

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Guo Ziyi, what official position are you now?" ”

Guo Ziyi said: "Zhongshu Ling, Deputy Marshal of Guannei!" ”

Zhongshu Ling is the highest governor of Zhongshu Province, Zhongshu Province is the decision-making body of the Tang Dynasty, most of the military and political affairs are decided by Zhongshu Province, through the review of Menxia Province, and then submitted to the emperor for approval, and finally handed over to Shangshu Province for implementation. The deputy marshal of Guannei is only a temporary official position, and Guo Ziyi has just returned to Chang'an with the army, although he has handed over the military power, but the post has not been removed.

Zhao Ziliang asked again: "During your foreign war, can Zhongshu Province operate normally?" ”

"Of course, although the minister is leading the troops to fight outside, there are still important positions in Zhongshu Province such as Zhongshu Shilang and Zhongshu Sheren to handle the official affairs of Zhongshu Province!"

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "You have the experience of riding back to Su alone, which shows that you are not only courageous, but also eloquent, this time it will be difficult to run to Dengzhou, how about it?" ”

The crown prince Li Shi hurriedly said: "Regent, the situation this time is different from the original return to the Hui soldiers, when the Hui people were deceived by the servant Gu Huai'en, so they rebelled with the other barbarian armies!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said, "This king knows!" Didn't Liang Chongyi rely on deceiving his soldiers to gather the army left behind by Lai Yao? Does he really dare to lead the army to avenge Laiyao? At the beginning, there were more than 100,000 soldiers in the army of the servant Gu Huai'en, Hui Tubo and other barbarians, but how many soldiers and horses did Liang Chongyi have in his hands? How can they be the same? ”

Li Shi also said that Guo Ziyi knew that Zhao Ziliang had made a decision, and no matter what Li Shi said, he would not be able to change this decision. He didn't wait for Li Shi to continue, he stood up and hugged his fists and said, "The minister is willing to persuade Liang Chongyi!" ”

"Well, that's it! This king gives you three days to prepare, and then set off for Dengzhou in three days! ”

Guo Ziyi promised: "Yes! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked the ministers again: "Do you have any other military and political affairs to play?" ”

No one answered.

Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, today's court meeting will be carried out here, the things just agreed upon, after the dispersal of the dynasty, the relevant officials will immediately begin to implement, and the king will go to the emperor to report the resolutions of this court meeting, disperse!" ”

A eunuch next to him shouted: "Retreat to the court—"

When the ministers gradually dispersed, Zhao Ziliang instructed a personal attendant: "Go and tell Sinong Shaoqing Bai Xiuqi and the Shangshu of the Inspection and Engineering Department, the Liangzhou Thorn History, the Chongshan Nanxi Dao Observation Envoy Zhang Xiancheng, and the Zhenguo Army Festival Envoy Luo Yuanguang to come to the Regent Mansion to see the king later!" ”

The attendant promised, "Yes, my lord!" ”

Zhao Ziliang then asked the eunuch to lead him to the inner palace to meet Li Yu, who was playing against the noble concubine Dugu in the garden.

At this time, Li Yu's wife Cui Guifei had died when he was the king of Guangping, Cui Guifei was the daughter of Mrs. Han, and her aunt was Yang Yuhuan, in the Ma Weiyi Revolution of that year, her father Cui Xun and mother Yang and several other aunts Mrs. Qiuguo and Mrs. Qin were killed by the rebels at the same time, she was also implicated, lost Li Yu's favor, and died of depression after returning to Chang'an for a few years.

In addition to his wife Cui Guifei, Li Yu has two concubines who are very fond of him, one is the Shen family, and the other is the Dugu family. Shen is the biological mother of the crown prince Li Shi Shen Pearl (the name of the novel and TV series, the name of the Shen family is not recorded in the historical materials), after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the rebels hit Tongguan, Emperor Xuanzong fled in panic, leaving a large number of concubines and royal family members in Chang'an, after the rebels broke through Chang'an, these people were captured by the rebels, and Shen was one of them. Later, the Tang army recovered Luoyang, and the Shen family was found in the court in the Luoyang Palace, and at the same time was found to have other princesses and concubines, at that time Zhao Ziliang also sent someone to report the matter to Xuanzong, Xuanzong thought that these women had been captured by the rebels and were no longer chaste, and refused to let Zhao Ziliang send them back to Beijing, these women stayed in the Luoyang Palace, and the Shen family was among them. After Zhao Ziliang returned to Western Qin with his army after his conquest of Tibet, the rebels broke through Luoyang again, and Shen disappeared from then on.

Dugu is the eldest daughter of Dugu Ying, who joined the army in Zuo Weiwei's record, and is extremely favored by Li Yu, but Dugu is very virtuous, does not do politics, does not make relatives, and she is also very literary, poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which are fine, in this regard, she and Li Yu can be said to have a very ideological resonance.

Shen is very different from Dugu, Dugu is a gentle woman, and Shen is the kind of woman who is heroic and strong, so Shen actually doesn't like Li Yu's weakness and indecisive character, and there are rumors in the market that after Luoyang was broken by Shi Siming's army again, Shen ran away with one of Shi Siming's brave generals.

"Your Majesty, the Lord Regent is here!" The chamberlain reported to Li Yuyu, who was concentrating on playing chess.

Li Yu turned around, hurriedly put down the chess pieces in his hand and greeted Zhao Ziliang who was walking over: "Uncle is here!" ”

The Dugu clan also immediately stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "The concubine has seen her uncle!" ”

Zhao Ziliang clenched his fists and bowed and said, "The minister greets Your Majesty and the concubine!" ”

Li Yu hurriedly said: "Uncle doesn't have to be polite!" Come, give the regent a seat! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Dugu was very discerning, and knew that Zhao Ziliang must have something important to discuss with the emperor when he came over, so he said to the two: "Your Majesty and your uncle will talk, and the concubine will retire first!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and smiled: "The concubine doesn't have to avoid it, and there is nothing confidential about it." Niangniang stays in the palace all day long, and she doesn't know much about things outside, so she can listen to something new when she stays! ”

Hearing this, Dugu looked at Li Yu, and Li Yu smiled: "Since my uncle said it doesn't matter, then you can stay!" ”

"Yes!"

After a few people sat down, Zhao Ziliang said: "The minister came this time to report to His Majesty about the process and resolution of the court meeting!" Before that, I would like to ask Your Majesty, do you have a clear idea of the power structure in the court? ”

Li Yu nodded and said: "This is natural, if I don't even know the power structure of the court, then I really don't deserve to sit in the position of emperor."

The palace maid brought the tea, Zhao Ziliang took it and took a sip, made the teacup and said: "The battle between the three forces of the DPRK and China has opened the eyes of the ministers today, and the Tang Dynasty has reached this situation, and they still have the heart to fight each other!" Originally, the minister thought that when the minister first arrived, and he was appointed as the regent by His Majesty, they would definitely unite to resist the minister, but he didn't expect that the minister only used a few small means to make them start fighting each other, and the situation is not optimistic! ”

Li Yu was a little worried after listening to Zhao Ziliang's words, and said: "I'm not afraid of my uncle's jokes, I also know that my temperament is a little weak, and I often can't make up my mind in the face of major military and political issues, and I always hesitate, but this is innate, and I can't help it." The formation of the current power pattern by the ministers of the DPRK and China is actually caused by my connivance, and this is all my fault! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Your Majesty, don't always take the fault on yourself!" As a king, sometimes for the sake of political needs, it is feasible to occasionally admit mistakes to the people of the world, which can play a role in winning the hearts of the people, but it must not be done from time to time, otherwise His Majesty's prestige will be lost. For example, the last time His Majesty issued an edict of sin, in the eyes of this king, His Majesty was a little bent on going his own way, His Majesty did not see the bad consequences of this edict, it made the secession of the feudal town legal, and the difficulty of the imperial court to cut the feudal domain will increase more than tenfold! Since His Majesty ascended the throne and came to power, he has been commendable in many aspects, such as the reform of Cao Yun, the reform of salt administration, and the reform of grain prices. His Majesty appeased the remnants of the Anshi Rebellion in order to quell the Anshi Rebellion as soon as possible, which left a legacy for the Tang Dynasty! Before the ministers left the Central Plains and returned to the Western Qin, they specially suggested to Emperor Ming Xiao (Xuanzong) that the remnants of the rebel army must not be tolerated, especially those rebel generals, they can be allowed to surrender, but they must not be allowed to command the troops again, even if they are allowed to lead the troops, they cannot be allowed to lead the original soldiers and horses, and they cannot stay in place. Maybe Emperor Mingxiao died in too much of a hurry, and he didn't have time to move the arrangement! ”
