Zhao Ziliang's arrival alarmed many people around Chang'an, nearly hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside Chang'an City came to see his style, and even many people from the surrounding states and counties, after ten years, there are still many people inside and outside Chang'an City who remember him.

Zhao Ziliang saw the crowded crowd on both sides of the road, and said to Emperor Daizong: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has organized so many people to welcome the ministers, and the ministers really can't afford it!" β
Dai Zong was helpless and said: "Uncle, these people are not organized by the imperial court, nor are they the will of me, they are spontaneous!" It can be seen that ten years after my uncle left Chang'an, the people of Chang'an still remember my uncle! β
Zhao Ziliang sighed: "The minister is ashamed, he has suffered several disasters in Chang'an, and the minister has not been able to rescue in time!" β
Daizong comforted: "The matter has passed, uncle doesn't have to blame himself!" Besides, it's all my fault, and it has nothing to do with my uncle! β
The royal car came to the Jinguang Gate, and there were more people gathered at the city gate, which can be described as a sea of people, and the number of soldiers on guard has also increased a lot, Zhao Ziliang suddenly said: "Stop!" β
The emperor didn't know what he meant, but he still pulled the reins, and the royal car stopped, Zhao Ziliang stood up and looked up at the tower of Jinguangmen with a solemn face, and involuntarily walked down the imperial car, and the soldiers and horses behind him and all the civil and military officials also stopped, and the emperor, ministers, generals, soldiers and tens of thousands of people around the city gate watched Zhao Ziliang slowly walk down from the imperial car.
He walked to the gate of the city and stood still under the gaze of everyone, looked up at the tower, and after a long time, he took off his helmet and clamped it under his armpit, lifted his robe and knelt down slowly on his knees, he put the helmet on the ground, and bowed down!
He is kneeling down to Chang'an City, bowing to the Tang Empire, which was once the most prosperous capital in the world, and bowing to the center of the world, and he is saddened by the several disasters suffered by Chang'an City.
Although there was not a word, everyone understood his inner thoughts, and it was a feeling that did not need to be expressed in words. No one gave an order, and the soldiers of the Western Qin Army also knelt down consciously, letting the capital of the Tang Empire be sacked and destroyed by the rebels, which was their shame as soldiers, they were repenting for their dereliction of duty, and they were sad for the great disaster that their homeland had suffered.
Emperor Daizong's face turned a little pale, and the behavior of Zhao Ziliang and the soldiers of the Western Qin Army made him feel that he had done too much dereliction of duty as an emperor, and he felt guilty from the bottom of his heart.
After a long time, Zhao Ziliang got up and slowly walked towards the city wall. The city wall was mottled with blood, there were broken bricks everywhere, after so long, there was still a strong smell of blood, Zhao Ziliang walked to the edge of the city wall and touched the mottled blood stains that were broken and dried up, and shed silent tears.
"The minister couldn't help himself for a while, and let His Majesty laugh!" Zhao Ziliang returned to the royal car and saluted Emperor Daizong with a fist.
Dai Zong said quite embarrassedly: "How can I be qualified to laugh at my uncle, let Chang'an City suffer such a catastrophe, this is all my fault!" Even if I have already issued an edict, I will not be able to make up for the damage caused to Chang'an City by the rebels! Forget it, let's go back to the palace first! By the way, the Western Qin army brought by my uncle is only afraid that they will camp outside the cityΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"Naturally, the ministers only brought the guards into the city, and the army stayed outside the city to camp, I don't know if the imperial court can arrange a camp?"
Dai Zong said: "It has been arranged, and this matter has to be ordered by my uncle to contact Guo Ziyi!" β
"Good!" Zhao Ziliang agreed, and immediately found Chen Qing and asked him to discuss the garrison of the army with Guo Ziyi.
After entering the city, Daizong Li Yu said to Zhao Ziliang: "Uncle, I have asked people to clean up the house where Li Linfu lived in the past, and I will reward this house to my uncle and keep it as a mansion in the capital!" β
Zhao Ziliang hugged his fists and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" β
In the afternoon, Daizong set up a banquet in the Daming Palace, and invited Zhao Ziliang and the generals and officials of the Western Qin Army, the crown prince Li Shi, Yuan Zai, Wang Jin, Pei Zunqing, Du Hongjian and other prime ministers of the DPRK and China to accompany him, and the military generals of the imperial court Guo Ziyi, Wang Sili, Li Baozhen, Tian Shengong, Hun Xuan, Wu Miao, Wei Boyu and others were accompanied.
Zhao Ziliang basically knew all the people who accompanied him, only Li Baozhen, Tian Shengong, Hun Ying, Wu Miao and others did not know.
"The last general, Li Baozhen, meet the King of Western Qin!" A veteran in his sixties stood up and introduced himself.
Zhao Ziliang didn't know him, Guo Ziyi introduced him: "General Li's real surname is An, his name is An Chongzhang, he lives in Xizhou, and his father An Zhongjing once served as the deputy ambassador of Hexi Jiedu. Due to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, he was given the surname Li by the emperor and renamed Baoyu. During the Hedong Rebellion, General Li was appointed as a partial general by Li Guangbi and made outstanding achievements in fighting against the Anshi rebels. The current Fengxiang Festival envoy and Sikong! β
This Li Baoyu is also a late bloomer, seven years younger than Guo Ziyi, and his current official rank is only a little younger than Guo Ziyi. Zhao Ziliang nodded and said to Li Baoyu: "General Li doesn't have to be polite!" β
After speaking, Zhao Ziliang saw a general in his thirties standing behind Li Baoyu, who was good-looking, calm, and wise, so he asked, "Who is this person?" β
This person didn't wait for others to be introduced, stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Back to the King of Western Qin, the last general Li Baozhen, the young eunuch in the palace!" β
Li Baoyu introduced: "This is the end of the father's brother (uncle's son)!" β
"The right servant of the school Shangshu shoots the Tianshen Gong to meet the King of Western Qin!" A general in his forties stood up and saluted Zhao Ziliang.
Daizong Li Yu introduced with a smile: "General Tian turned out to be the commander of Pinglu Duzhi, after An Lushan rebelled, he was unwilling to be a thief, so he led the army back to the court, and he had quite a lot of achievements in fighting against the Anshi rebels. A few years ago, Liu Zhan, the assassin of Songzhou, rebelled, and it was General Tian who led the army to quell Liu Zhan's rebellion! β
Xuan 18 whispered in Zhao Ziliang's ear: "To quell Liu Zhan's rebellion, Tian Shengong did not restrain the soldiers, connived at the soldiers to plunder the property of the people, and killed thousands of Persian Hu merchants, resulting in serious damage to the rich Jianghuai."
When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he knew in his heart that Tian Shengong had military talent and was very brave, but like Guo Ziyi, he didn't like to use strict military discipline to win the support of the sergeants.
"It turned out to be General Tian, General Tian's deeds, this king has heard a little, please take a seat!" Zhao Ziliang said to Tian Shengong with a smile, he had received relevant reports before, Tian Shengong's soldiers and horses belonged to Li Guangbi in the later stage of the Anshi Rebellion, but Tian Shengong was not very obedient to the order, Li Guangbi could not command him, not only Tian Shengong supported the army and respected himself, but many soldiers and horses were nominally under Li Guangbi's control, but these people were not very obedient to Li Guangbi's orders, which was also a factor in Li Guangbi's depression.
"Hun Xuan, the deputy envoy of the left wing of the Shence Army, visited the king of Western Qin!" A fan general stood up and clasped his fists and saluted Zhao Ziliang.
Guo Ziyi introduced to Zhao Ziliang: "General Hun is a member of the Tielehun tribe, his father was the queen of Shuofang Jiedu, and in the Anshi Rebellion, he was my general!" In the later period of the pacification of the Huai'en Rebellion and the Anshi Rebellion, General Hun had outstanding military achievements, was quite courageous, modest and cautious by nature, and never took credit for himself! β
Daizong Li Yu smiled: "Yes, I can testify to this!" β
Zhao Ziliang also smiled; "It seems that all of you here today are talented people! There are many people in the Tiele clan who are officials and generals in the court, and there are not a few people who are officials and generals in the Western Qin, and there are many of them who are famous all over the world. Like the servant Gu Huai'en, the court cultivated him so heavily, and the king also had high expectations for him at the beginning, but who knew that he actually rebelled! General Hun, you can't learn from him, although over the years, most of the rebels have been generals, but the court has not completely denied the generals, there are many loyal and brave people among the generals of all ethnic groups, and this king hopes that you are also such a person! β
"Remember!" Hun Ying stepped aside after speaking.
Another general in his fifties stood up, and this person looked arrogant: "Wu Miao has seen the King of Western Qin!" β
Seeing this, Daizong Li Yu hurriedly smiled and introduced him for him: "This is Wu Cao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei!" β
Xuan 18 whispered in Zhao Ziliang's ear: "Wu Miao is the emperor's uncle, and the emperor's biological mother, Empress Zhang Jing, is his sister."
Daizong Li Yu's life is actually still very bitter, when he was four years old, his mother Wu died of illness, and thanks to his uncle Wu Miao to take care of the foil to grow up, his mother Wu's Empress Zhang Jing was still posthumously honored after he succeeded to the throne.
Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "It turns out that General Wu is His Majesty's uncle, I am fortunate to meet him!" All the generals here are people with brilliant military achievements, I don't know what kind of military exploits General Wu has, can he live in the temple, and he is also in the position of General Zuojin Wuwei? β
Where is Wu Miao, and what are his achievements? He can sit here, and he is still in the position of General Zuo Jin Wuwei, of course, only because he is the emperor's uncle, otherwise this position of General Zuo Jin Wuwei would not be his turn to do it anyway.
Wu Miao was exposed by Zhao Ziliang, his face suddenly turned red, but he couldn't refute it, and he really didn't know how to answer for a while sitting there.
However, Guo Ziyi hurriedly played a round and said with a smile: "The King of Western Qin doesn't know, of course General Wu has merit, Your Majesty has experienced danger several times, and General Wu has escorted him!" Since ancient times, there is no greater merit than escorting, so if you really want to talk about it, General Wu's credit is much greater than that of our people! β
Of course, these words are to cover Wu Miao's face, in fact, Wu Miao's real protection is there, this person has just been following Daizong, where Daizong is, he is there.
"I see! General Wu turned out to be a meritorious escort, but this king underestimated General Wu! β
In addition to these high-level court ministers and generals, there are many civil and military generals in attendance, but Zhao Ziliang basically doesn't know, the older generation of court ministers and generals, either old and dead, or deposed or exiled or degraded, now the vast majority of people in the court are new faces for Zhao Ziliang, which makes Zhao Ziliang have to feel from the heart, it is really a thing and a person, once a son of heaven and a courtier!
