Ma Weiyi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Some ministers in the hall of the small court meeting are arguing, the focus of the debate is where the emperor and the court want to move, the prime minister Fang Xuan insisted that the emperor and the court should go to Lingwu, and the prime minister Wei Jiansu insisted on going to Xichuan, because they really can't stay in this Ma Weiyi, there is no food here, and the living conditions are extremely poor, and there are not even a few people who serve, not to mention their minister-level ministers, even those small officials are not willing to stay here.

Emperor Xuanzong has been beating the drum in his heart, and there is still some news from Zhao Ziliang's side, and he and the courtiers have been staying in this Ma Weiyi for more than a month, although they don't say that they eat bran every day, but the living conditions are really poor.

When Emperor Xuanzong was upset, Duan Xiushi, who was in charge of the emperor's safety, walked in quickly with a sword in one hand and a book in the other, and reported with an excited smile: "Your Majesty, Zhao Dashuai in front sent someone to deliver good news!" ”

"Good news?" Xuanzong's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, hurry up!" ”

Gao Lishi walked over and took the fold and presented it to the emperor, Xuanzong took the fold and opened it to look at it in detail, the more he looked at it, the more he looked at the smile on his face, the more he smiled, and finally closed the piece and laughed: "Okay, good, Zhao Qing's family really lives up to my expectations!" In the good news, Zhao Ziliang said in the good news that the Beiting Army and the 100,000 troops of the rebel Sun Xiaozhe were in a decisive battle in Huangyanyuan, 50 west of Huayin, in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, and defeated Sun Xiaozhe's army in one fell swoop, beheaded 10,000, captured 90,000, and seized countless grains, grasses, weapons, and baggage! ”

Prime Minister Fang Xuan immediately prostrated on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, this is a great victory, this is an unprecedented victory!" On the occasion of this great victory, what are we still discussing about going to Lingwu or Xichuan? This time, the rebels were defeated, and they had been frustrated by Zhao Dashuai, and they did not dare to raise troops to march westward, and His Majesty and the imperial court could return to Chang'an with peace of mind! ”

Some other ministers praised the emperor's merits and echoed Fang Xuan's suggestion, and Prime Minister Wei Jiansu's face changed several times, and he had to kneel down with the others to congratulate the emperor.

Xuanzong was very happy, and immediately made an order to return to Chang'an the next day, and never wanted to stay sadly in Ma Weiyi again.

On July 26, Emperor Xuanzong and his courtiers returned to Chang'an, and some institutions of the imperial court began to gradually resume operation, but after all, they were killed by the rebels, and many officials, scribes and officials of the imperial court had run away, so many yamen were still at a standstill, and it was not a matter of time or a half to resume operation.

Emperor Xuanzong, who returned to Chang'an, finally fell in heart, and began to reward Zhao Ziliang and other soldiers in front, and even Duan Xiushi, who guarded the emperor's safety, was also crowned General Youwuwei.

Xuanzong, who returned to Chang'an, also began to have the time and energy to care about his own security and safety, and there was no way to rely on the Beiting Army and the Anxi Army when he was in Ma Weiyi, and now he returned to Chang'an, he had more choices, Wang Chengye, the general of Yulin stationed in the Bashang military camp, was transferred back to be responsible for the security of the palace ban, and Duan Xiushi and the Anxi Army under his command moved to defend Baqiao, ready to go east to reinforce Zhao Ziliang at any time.

On the first day of the eighth month, Xuanzong held a small court meeting in the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, after a few days of sorting and cleaning, although the palace has not been restored to its original state, it is much better than the appearance of being looted before.

Xuanzong looked at the palace inside and outside the palace after being ransacked by the rebels, and he no longer looked like he used to be splendid, he sighed a lot for a while, and asked the ministers under His Majesty Dan: "What is the matter with the Zhongqing family?" ”

An imperial historian stood up and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen impeached Yin Weige of Jingzhao Mansion for the crime of disrespect and corruption and perversion of the law!" Wei Ge was entrusted by His Majesty to recover after the war in Chang'an, his residence, and now more than a month has passed, and the inside and outside of this palace are still bleak and miserable, and His Majesty and the ladies don't even have one or two usable utensils! Wechen heard that a while ago, Wei Ge raided the homes of the ministers who surrendered to the rebels, and they got a lot of money, and it stands to reason that these goods should be confiscated, but now the rats can starve to death in the treasury, where did all these goods go? If it weren't for Wecker's corruption and perversion of the law, why would all these confiscated property disappear? ”

After hearing the words of the imperial history, the ministers began to talk about it.

Wei Ge came out and knelt on the ground with a thud and cried: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged! When Weichen arrived in Chang'an City with Zhao Dashuai's army, Chang'an City was already in ruins, corpses and bones were all over the ground, and there was a river of blood inside and outside the palace, and the royal property in the palace was looted by the rebels, and the people were hungry for a few days. Although Weichen is the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, as the saying goes, 'it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice', and Weichen is not a god, how can he exert great magic power to restore the inside and outside of the palace to its original state? That's right, Weichen raided the ministers and nobles who surrendered to the rebels, but only 20% of the stolen property went to Jingzhao Mansion to pay salaries to officials, buy rice and grain to give porridge to the people, and the rest all went to Zhao Dashuai's army to use as military expenses for counterinsurgency. ”

When the emperor and his ministers heard that most of the property obtained from the raid had been returned to the army as military expenses, what else could they say? You can't go again, Zhao Ziliang wants to come back, right? But they have just won a big victory, and even if they don't win the battle, they can't go and ask for it back, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the soldiers.

Xuanzong waved his hand and said, "Wei Ge, get up, I will send someone to find out about this matter!" ”

Wei Ge hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

At this time, another imperial historian stood up and saluted Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, as far as Weichen knows, there are more than 70 ministers and nobles who have been raided this time, none of these people have been wronged, but there is one person's home that has not been copied, Wechen doesn't know if this is Lord Wei who received other people's money and deliberately opened the net, or if he has anything to do with this person!" ”

This wave after wave of attacks came one after another, which made Wei Ge a little overwhelmed, and when he heard this, he suddenly burst into a rage: "Fart!" Leng Chang is arrogant, don't spew blood, if you can't come up with evidence, this official will accuse you of framing the court minister to the saint! ”

The imperial historian named Leng Changao sneered and said to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, as far as Wei Chen knows, after Bian Lingcheng was beheaded, not only was his home not raided, but many businesses were getting bigger and bigger, and his wife and concubine Meng Shi were still at home with fine clothes and food, being her Kuo wife!" Master Wei is the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, if it weren't for his protection, would the Meng family and the Bian family be safe and sound? Bian Lingcheng deserves death, he has deceived his superiors and subordinates over the years, and has wantonly solicited bribes from many officials and wealthy businessmen and accumulated a large amount of property, which are all stolen goods, and should be confiscated! Now that other houses have been copied, but his family is fine, won't the people be greatly dissatisfied? Wechen asks His Majesty to issue an order to investigate this matter strictly, and the guilty must not be allowed to go unpunished! ”

Xuanzong asked Wei Ge with a straight face: "Wei Ge, tell me what is going on?" Why did he copy the homes of other surrendering ministers, but not Bian Lingcheng's? Is it because you have a relationship with him, or do you accept money from others? ”

Wei Ge had long known that this matter would definitely be stabbed out by someone with a heart in the court, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, this court real fight was really too dangerous, and he was questioned by the emperor in person, this is the first time Wei Ge has experienced such a thing, the beads of sweat on his forehead kept dripping, and it was impossible to hold on to this matter, so he could only keep looking at Zang Xiyan, the Chang'an guard general standing in the ranks of military generals.

Zang Xiyan saw that Wei Ge kept looking at him, and he knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to hide this matter, so he could only stand up and salute with his fists: "Your Majesty, Lord Wei Ge has already sent someone to raid Bian Lingcheng's house before, but Weichen sent someone to stop it after hearing the news, so Ling Cheng's house here was not copied!" ”

Everyone didn't expect that things would be transferred to Chang'an Guard General Zang Xiyan, now Zang Xiyan is the general of Zuojin Wuwei, this position used to be an honorary position, and he was not in charge of specific affairs, but now Zang Xiyan is in charge of Chang'an Guard, with more than 10,000 people under his hands, and is the most important force in guarding Chang'an and the palace ban, these ministers have never looked at Zang Xiyan with a straight eye before, but now it is not good, Zang Xiyan's attitude is extremely important, no one can ignore him, even the emperor.

Emperor Xuanzong was stunned for a moment when he saw that the matter was involved in Zang Xiyan's body, and then said with a smile: "What is the reason why General Zang did this?" ”

"This ······" Zang Xiyan was quite embarrassed for a while, but in such a crowd above the court, he couldn't take this matter on himself, because he couldn't afford it at all, and the emperor and the court had not yet reached the point where he was indispensable.

After hesitating for a while, Zang Xiyan hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is entrusted by someone to do it, and Weichen can say it, but he can only report this matter to His Majesty alone!" ”

"Entrusted? Who has such a big face? Xuanzong thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, you come forward and tell Yu Zhen to listen!" ”

"Yes!" Zang Xiyan agreed, walked up to Dan Majesty, leaned over and whispered a few words in Xuanzong's ear.

Xuanzong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "I see, I see!" Well, since Bian Lingcheng is dead, there is no need to trouble his widow anymore, let the Meng family leave a little family property to live, this matter will end here, and no one can pursue it anymore! ”

The ministers were all stunned, and one by one muttered in their hearts, is this what is going on with him? Bian Lingcheng is such a big crime, why didn't he even connect with his widow? Who has such a big face to make the emperor give up pursuing this matter? This doesn't make sense!

At this time, a eunuch walked quickly into the main hall and reported: "Your Majesty, Ma Lan, the deputy envoy of Hexi Jiedu, and Wang Tian, the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu, have led 10,000 troops to Chang'an respectively, and General Ma and General Wang are waiting for Your Majesty to summon them outside the imperial city!" ”

Xuanzong was overjoyed and waved his hand: "Hurry up!" ”

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
