On the second day of the fourth lunar month, Zhao Ziliang received an audience from more than a dozen people in charge of Taoism, Buddhism, Brahmanism, and other sects in the side hall of the Liangyi Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhao Ziliang said to everyone: "During this time, the king of Japan has a lot of military and political affairs to deal with, so after we broke up on March 15 last time, this king did not convene you until today to continue the topic of the last time. In recent years, there have been many people in our Western Qin who use the identity of monks to deceive, pretending to be monks, Taoist priests or members of other sects to sell amulets and other props to ordinary people to defraud money, and even many women are not only deceived of money, but also deceived sex! At the same time, there are also many people in the sect who do not abide by the rules and precepts, and use their identities to deceive and do evil! The precepts of some sects strictly stipulate that the members of the sect cannot drink alcohol, eat meat, get close to women, and do not break the law, but there are still many people who break the precepts, and this king hopes that all sects will severely punish these people, and cannot tolerate adultery, and the requirements for the sect members should be stricter, and a special agency should be set up to deal with those who violate the precepts. Of course, if someone files a lawsuit against the government, no matter how you handle it internally, you cannot obstruct or interfere with the government's ······ handling of the case."
At this time, a eunuch walked in and saluted: "King Qiyu, Lord Liu Dan of Honglu Temple asks to see you!" ”
Zhao Ziliang immediately said to everyone: "Let's discuss first, how to deal with the violation of the precepts of each sect." I'll come back later! ”
"Yes, King!"
Zhao Ziliang came to the main hall, Liu Shan was already waiting here, and when he saw Zhao Ziliang, he immediately saluted and said, "Meet the king!" ”
"Excuse me! What is the matter with Liu Qing coming to see this king today? Zhao Ziliang sat on the throne and asked.
Liu Shan bowed his hand and said: "Back to the king's words, today Lu Qi, the envoy of the Central Plains Imperial Court in Xinjing, came to see the minister, saying that he wanted to discuss with me Xiqin about counterinsurgency!" ”
"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did he say anything specific?" ”
Liu Shan said: "He said that the emperor has passed the word, now the Central Plains army and my Western Qin army have joined forces, in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, the military power of both sides should be unified, the Central Plains court has appointed Guo Ziyi as the marshal of the counterinsurgency, the emperor hopes that the Western Qin can put the command of Ma Ling and Bai Xiaode's army under Guo Ziyi, and Guo Ziyi will command it in a unified manner!" Due to the importance of this matter, Weichen did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he came to ask the king! ”
Zhao Ziliang didn't expect that this matter was really said by Zhao Ting, he thought about it and said to Liu Dan: "That's it, this king personally said to Lu Qi about this matter, tomorrow you bring him into the palace, and this king will see him in the two palaces!" ”
"Yes, King!"
The next day, Liu Shan brought Lu Qi to see Zhao Ziliang. Lu Qi is ugly, not ordinary ugly, and this person is extremely jealous and jealous, his family background is excellent, his grandfather Lu Huaishen was the prime minister of the Xuanzong Dynasty, and his father Lu Yi was the Dongtai Imperial History Zhongcheng during the Anshi Rebellion, and died in Luoyang. A system inherited from the Tang Dynasty, that is, by virtue of the official position of the father and ancestor to enter the official or obtain the qualifications to enter the office, it is called "door shade", or "shade". Lu Qi's grandfather was the prime minister, and his father was the middle of the imperial history and died at the hands of traitors, Lu Qi naturally had the right to be an official by virtue of this shadow system, so Lu Qi was the first to serve as the leader of the Brown Qingdao Army. After he became a Honglu Cheng, the servant Gu Huaien rebelled, and he was implicated because he had been the secretary of the servant Gu Huaien, and was assigned to Xinjing as an envoy.
"Lu Qi meets the King of Western Qin!" A short, extremely ugly middle-aged man saluted Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said, "Lord Lu is exempt!" ”
"King Xie!"
Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Lord Lu's intention is already known to the king, I don't know what the emperor said?" Has the emperor already issued an edict for me to hand over the command of Ma Ling and Bai Xiaode, or will Lord Lu consult with this king? ”
Lu Qi said: "King, Your Majesty sent a lieutenant envoy to talk about this matter, Your Majesty means to let the lower officials discuss with the king, to see if they can put Ma Ling and Bai Xiaode under the counterinsurgency marshal Guo Ziyi, such a unified command is very beneficial to quickly quell the rebellion, if they fight separately, not only the military strength is scattered, but also easy to give the rebels an opportunity to take advantage of!" ”
Zhao Ziliang got up and walked down the steps and asked, "Lord Lu, I don't know which clan is the main one for this barbarian rebellion?" How many troops are there? ”
Lu Qi said: "If you return to the king, this rebellion is dominated by Tubo people, Tuyuhun people and Hui people, among which the largest number of troops is the Tubo people, with about 100,000 troops, 80,000 Tuyuhun people, 60,000 Hui people, and the remaining Tiele people, Turkic people and Dangxiang people are more than 30,000, and less than 10,000!" ”
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and asked, "Lord Lu, to what extent does the Central Plains Imperial Court plan to proceed with this counterinsurgency?" ”
Lu Qi replied: "Of course, it is to completely eliminate these rebels and recover all the lost territory!" ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "The strongest of these rebels is the Tubo people, even if the rebellion is quelled, but the power of the Tubo people still exists, they can also make a comeback after an interval of three or five years, constantly impacting the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty, so that the Central Plains Dynasty can not gain a foothold in Longyou and Hexi, how is this good?" ”
Lu Qi didn't know how to answer: "This ······ What about the king's will? ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "If you want to quell the rebellion, it is better to completely solve the problem of Tubo, and make a thorough clarification of the barbarians in Hexi and Longyou, even if they do not destroy their clans, they must not pose a threat to the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years!" ”
"What does the king mean when he says that the problem of Tibet is completely solved is to completely sweep away the Tibetan tribes and occupy them substantively?"
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Not bad!" I wonder if Lord Lu has the right to make this decision? ”
Lu Qi was embarrassed and said: "The king looks down on the lower officials too much, the lower officials are just envoys, how can they decide such military affairs?" The magistrate must also report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor and the imperial court. Let's talk about the issue of unified command first, Your Majesty means to let the king order Ma Lan and Bai Xiaode to obey Guo Ziyi's command, as for the complete solution of the problem of Tibet, we can report to the imperial court within this period of time, and the emperor will make a decision, what do you think? ”
Zhao Ziliang replied to the question: "Does Master Lu know the relationship between Guo Ziyi and Ma Lu and Bai Xiaode?" ”
Lu Qi obviously didn't know about this matter, shook his head and said, "Xia Guan doesn't know, is there anything else between the three of them?" ”
Zhao Ziliang said to Liu Dan: "Lord Liu, you come to tell Lord Lu about the relationship between the three of them!" ”
"Yes, King!" Liu Shan agreed and said to Lu Qi: "Lord Lu, in the martial arts examination in the first year of Tianbao, the three of them are classmates, let Bai Xiaode and Ma Lan listen to Guo Ziyi, I'm afraid the two of them won't be willing!" ”
"And this?" Lu Qi really didn't know that these three people had such a relationship, "How is this good?" ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "With the intention of this king, there is no need for unified command between them, but Guo Ziyi led the imperial army to attack from Longyou to the rebel sphere of influence, and Ma Ling and Bai Xiaode's department attacked from Hexi to the rebel sphere of influence, if the imperial court can send another army from Jiannan Road to attack Tubo, it is also feasible!" The army of our Western Qin is different from the army of the Central Plains Imperial Court in terms of training regulations, as well as in terms of organization and orders, and Ma Ling and Bai Xiaode must be convinced by Guo Ziyi, if the forced unified command may backfire! ”
"This ······ Jiannan Dao is afraid that he will not be able to send troops to attack Tubo! Lu Qi shook his head and said, "Since the king means to fight each other, then the lower officials will go back to write a chapter to report this matter to the imperial court, and in addition, when the king just said that the matter of completely solving the problem of Tubo is completely resolved, how His Majesty the Emperor and the imperial court decide is not something that the lower officials can influence!" ”
After sending Lu Qi away, Zhao Ziliang sat on the throne and closed his eyes.
The noble man who had been beside him arched his hand and said: "King, Weichen has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not!" ”
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said, "Say it!" ”
"Great King, if the imperial court does not completely solve the problems of the feudal towns in various places, the rebellions will definitely occur one after another, but the problems of the feudal towns are no longer a day or two, and it is not easy to completely solve them? If we don't solve the problem of feudal towns, the internal rebellion in the Central Plains is a bottomless pit, even if we completely solve the problem of Tibet, the rebellions in the Central Plains will continue to occur, is it that every time there is a rebellion in the Central Plains, I, Western Qin, will send troops to quell the rebellion? This is an incomparably huge financial burden on my Western Qin, the king doesn't have to do anything, just the rebellion in the Central Plains is enough for you to have a headache! ”
Gao Shang's words touched Zhao Ziliang a lot, Datang has been difficult to return to now, if you want to completely solve internal problems, you must have a wise and brave emperor, but the ability of these successive emperors is very limited.
After pondering for a long time, Zhao Ziliang said in a deep voice: "Even so, this king will never allow Tubo to continue to cause trouble!" During this period of time, this king also plans to wait for a few more years, and wait until the army is sufficient to attack the Great Food Country, it seems that if the problem of Tibet is not completely solved, this king will not be able to think about the strategy of the Great Food with peace of mind. Noble, this king decided to personally conquer Tibet, and this time he must solve Tibet once and for all to prevent it from recurring! At the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China this month, you put forward the issue of completely solving the problem of Tubo and let the ministers discuss it! ”
Gao Shang said: "King, there is no need to go to the army, I am not without generals in Xiqin!" ”
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said, "This king is only forty-three years old, and he is not old enough to fight on horseback, right?" Wait until one day when the king is too old to get on the war horse, and then consider the issue of no longer conscription! And the problem of Tibet has always been a thorn in the heart of this king, this king has passed through Tibet many times, and every time it comes to the last moment, it falls short, and this time it has not been able to stop this king! ”
