When he arrived at the door of Mrs. Meng's mansion, Zhao Ziliang saw Mrs. Meng waiting at the gate with a group of maids. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The slave family welcomes the arrival of the handsome!" Mrs. Meng greeted her and said a blessing, and the maids of the family also knelt down.

Zhao Ziliang jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "Madame, excuse me!" ”

Mrs. Meng got up and said, "The banquet is ready, please take the table!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang nodded and walked in.

Zhao Ziliang looked at the layout and furnishings of this mansion as he walked, and said, "This mansion is good, did you buy it recently?" ”

Mrs. Meng followed up and said: "Yes, the marshal said that the original Bianfu could not be lived, so the slave family bought it here first, and then transferred the Bianfu at a low price, and moved here!" ”

After entering the table, Mrs. Meng drove out the family and the maids, leaving only Zhao Ziliang and herself, she poured Zhao Ziliang wine and poured herself a glass, picked up the wine glass and said: "If it weren't for Zhao Lang personally arranging the dots before leaving, I'm afraid that the slave family's family business has been confiscated, and the slave family is also in the Jiaofang Division at this time, and the slave family respects Zhao Lang with a cup."

The Jiaofang Division is a place where official prostitutes are cultivated and trained, and it is known as the official Qinglou, and most of the women in it are from the families of convicts, and some women are bought from the people.

Zhao Ziliang smiled: "You and I don't have to be like this before!" ”

The two drank a glass together, and Mrs. Meng said: "At a glance, the slave family saw at a glance that Zhao Lang was very comparable, and he must have a great future in the future. ”

After the war, Zhao Ziliang was added to the same Zhongshu Sect under the Ping Zhangshi, the opening of the palace and the three divisions, which is equivalent to having the same status as the prime minister, and has the right to participate in the government and make suggestions to the government.

Zhao Ziliang said: "In Anxi back then, thanks to my wife's frequent assistance, support for military expenses and food salaries, and ······ Madame's affection, Ziliang has always remembered in his heart, I salute Mrs. with a glass! ”

"Good!"

Mrs. Meng drank another glass of wine, her cheeks turned crimson, and she said: "Now that Zhao Lang is presiding over the great cause of counterinsurgency, the daily consumption of military expenses and food is huge, and it is the time to use the money, if Zhao Lang does not dislike it, the slave family still has some savings here, although it does not play a role, but it can be urgent for a while······"

Zhao Ziliang didn't wait for her to finish, raised his hand and waved: "Madame has no support now, let's keep those savings for self-defense, and now I have enough food, grass and military expenses here, don't worry about it for the time being, if it really comes to the end of the mountains and rivers in the future, it will not be too late for me to come and speak to Madame again!" ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Meng nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”

Zhao Ziliang drank a glass of wine, remembered something, took out a brocade box from his arms and pushed it over on the table, and said with a smile: "Ziliang came in a hurry, and he casually brought a small object to his wife, and asked his wife not to dislike it!" ”

Mrs. Meng smiled, took the brocade box and opened it, inside was a necklace made of pink diamonds of the same size and shape, and a burst of surprise appeared on her face, "It's so beautiful, what kind of gem is this?" Pink, and crystal clear, white and flawless, how come the slave family has never seen such a gem? ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "This gemstone is called diamond, its hardness is the first in the world, produced in Africa, the number is extremely rare, and the color of the diamond is even rarer, the diamond on this chain is pink, to collect so many diamonds of the same size and the same color is not easy, of course, the size of the gem may not be the same when collected, but after the craftsman's carving, it becomes the same size and shape, the Obaro in the far west has a saying called 'diamonds are eternal, One is eternal', other gems and jade are easy to break, but it will not be broken and worn, no matter how long it is worn and used, it will always be shiny."

Mrs. Meng listened to Zhao Ziliang's introduction and asked, "In this way, isn't this thing priceless?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "This necklace has a name in the Byzantine Empire, people call it 'Tears of the Goddess', more than two hundred years ago, it was carved out by the gem craftsmen of the Byzantine Empire, the Governor of Egypt dedicated it to the regent of the Byzantine Empire at that time, the Queen Mother was extremely happy after receiving this gift, and added ten cities to the governor's jurisdiction on the spot, and the 'Tears of the Goddess' was also famous and known to everyone in the West!" The queen mother was poisoned by her daughter shortly after getting this necklace, and the necklace fell on the princess, but it was quickly taken away by the queen, and the princess was also strangled by the queen's order, and since it was made, many royal people have died one after another, and the Byzantine emperor, who holds great power, has to order it to be sealed in the royal treasury and no one is allowed to approach. More than a hundred years later, there was a coup d'état in the Byzantine Empire, the emperor was replaced, and this necklace was nowhere to be found, and later it was obtained by a merchant, both the Great Food Emperor and the Byzantine Emperor wanted to get it, the Byzantine Emperor bid for twelve cities, and the Great Food Emperor bid thirteen cities, just when the merchant wanted to trade with the Great Food Emperor, his whole family was killed, and the necklace was lost again! In the tenth year of Tianbao, I led the army to support Gao Xianzhi, broke the Great Food Army on the banks of the Henglus River, and later defeated the Great Food Army on the banks of the Yaozhishui River, and captured a Great Food General named Said, and this necklace was captured from him! ”

Mrs. Meng listened to Zhao Ziliang tell the legendary experience of this necklace, and suddenly opened her mouth wide, and was stunned for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she hurriedly closed the brocade box and returned it to Zhao Ziliang and said: "This chain is too valuable, the slave family can't ask for it!" And it's really ominous, none of the people who get it have a good end, the slave family is now in this status, a small official can cure the slave family to death, how can the slave family keep it, accepting it can only cause trouble for themselves! Please take it back to Zhao Lang! ”

Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "Forget it, it's me who didn't think about it, this thing is indeed a bad thing!" Then I will give my wife a small gift as compensation in the future! ”

Zhao Ziliang took back the necklace and stayed overnight in Mrs. Meng's mansion that night. The next morning, he visited some old friends and old ministers in Chang'an City, and then visited Gai Jiayun, who was already dying.

In the afternoon, Zhao Ziliang was led by people, he found the family and descendants of Fumeng Lingjing in Chang'an's mansion, Fumeng Lingjing since he was transferred to Chang'an, has held many positions, and later he changed his surname to Ma, was transferred to Liaodong as the deputy protector of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, presiding over all the military and political affairs of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, in fact, he is the leader of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, and the position of the Imperial Prince is led by the royal prince, and does not actually act in charge of military and political affairs.

In April of this year, Fumeng Lingjing was lured to Yingzhou by An Lushan sent Pinglu Jiedu to make Lu Zhizhi, and at the banquet, Lu Zhizhi landed on the wine glass in his hand, and the knife and axe hand who was ambushed behind the screen rushed out to kill Fumeng Lingjing when he heard the sound.

Because of the long distance, the news that Fumeng Lingjing was booby-trapped by An Lushan only reached Chang'an in the past few days, Emperor Xuanzong felt very sorry after hearing the news, and specially issued a decree to posthumously crown Fumeng Lingjing as the secretary of the military department, and several of his heirs were also awarded official positions.

In the evening of this day, Zhao Ziliang and his soldiers just came out of Fu Mengling's mansion, and met Cheng Yuanzhen, the eunuch sent by the palace, Cheng Yuanzhen saw Zhao Ziliang and shouted: "Oh, Generalissimo Zhao, our family can find you, His Majesty will summon you to meet you in the morning, I didn't expect you to be at home, nor in the Baqiao camp, our family can look for you for a day, hurry up and attack the saint with our family!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked up at the sky and said, "I haven't eaten dinner yet, I'm very hungry, anyway, it's been so long, and it's not too late for us to find a restaurant to eat and then go!" ”

Cheng Yuanzhen heard Zhao Ziliang say this, and sighed: "Our family's reprimand must be decided, maybe we will have to be beaten, so it will be more powerful to go back and be beaten after eating and drinking!" Okay, just listen to Zhao Dashuai, and then enter the palace after eating! ”

The two of them had eaten and drunk enough in a tavern before taking their soldiers to Daming Palace to meet the emperor.

When I saw the emperor, I didn't expect Duan Xiushi, Ma Lan, Wang Rare and others to be here, as well as military generals such as Zang Xiyan and Wang Chengye.

"Weichen see Your Majesty!"

Xuanzong said with a smile: "Zhao Qing's family, I and these generals have been waiting for you for a day!" ”

Zhao Ziliang hurriedly said: "It's a sin to bother the saint and the generals to wait for a long time!" ”

Xuanzong waved his hand and said: "Excuse me, since everyone has arrived, let's start the discussion, today I brought all the Qing family here to listen to the thoughts and opinions of the audience, how can we start countering the rebellion in the future?" ”

Ma Luan, Wang Rare and Duan Xiushi said in unison: "Your Majesty, I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know much about the battle situation, so I won't talk about opinions and ideas, let's listen to the thoughts of Zhao Dashuai and several other generals!" ”

Xuanzong looked at Wang Chengye, the general of Yulin, and asked, "General Wang, what do you think?" ”

Wang Chengye has been staying in Chang'an, although he has not fought, but he will judge the situation, he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of Weichen, now after Zhao Dashuai defeated the rebel Sun Xiaozhe's 100,000 army, our army has turned from unfavorable to advantageous in the front line of Tongguan, from passive to active, although there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Luoyang, but the threat to Chang'an is not big, and now the last general is to watch out for Taiyuan, if Li Guangbi can hold Taiyuan without losing, the rebels will do nothing in a short time, Our army only needs to accumulate strength for a large-scale counteroffensive, and we will definitely be able to put down the rebellion in one fell swoop! ”

Xuanzong nodded, feeling that what Wang Chengye said was still very reasonable, he looked at Zhao Ziliang and asked, "Zhao Qing, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Ziliang hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, An Lushan and the like are not to be afraid, the time of the imperial court to quell An Lushan's rebellion is a matter of time, and what Wechen is worried about now is Tubo and Nanzhao!" The garrisons of Hexi and Longyou have been emptied, and the garrison of Jiannan Province was defeated by Xian Yu Zhongtong a few years ago, and even a small Nanzhao country could not be suppressed, Weichen was worried that Tubo and Nanzhao attacked our dynasty at the same time, and our dynasty had civil strife, and now the army is on the front line, once these two countries start against our country, where will our country have the strength to block their invasion?
