Gao Lishi glanced at the officials and generals present in the Marshal's Mansion, and said with a smile: "The first thing is the marriage of Prince Ling Langting and the county lord of Yining, they have been engaged for two years, but they have not been able to get married for various reasons, and the county lord of Yining is also old and can't wait any longer, so Your Majesty sent our family to discuss their marriage date with the marshal!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Zhao Ting when he heard this, and asked, "You are the party, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Ting was stunned for a moment, and immediately clenched his fists and said: "Everything is up to my father!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said to Gao Lishi: "Zhao doesn't have any ideas here, you can decide whatever the wedding date is, let Your Majesty decide!" ”

Gao Lishi said: "When our family came, His Majesty said that if Zhao Ziliang had nothing else special, he would set the wedding date on the eighteenth of the next month, which was an auspicious day for the zodiac, and it was appropriate to get married. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Dashuai looks at the date set on this day, how about it? ”

"Eighteen next month? Well, this day is very good, now that we have captured Luoyang and collected more than 300,000 rebels, we need to digest it for the time being, and we can't continue to launch large-scale campaigns against the rebels, so before May, this time is relatively stable, since Your Majesty has set the wedding date on this day, then it will be so set! ”

Gao Lishi smiled and said to Zhao Ziliang and Zhao Ting: "In this way, our family is here to congratulate first!" ”

The officials and generals of the Marshal's Mansion also smiled and congratulated Zhao Ziliang and Zhao Ting one after another.

Everyone congratulated, and Zhao Ziliang continued to ask Gao Lishi: "I don't know what the second thing is?" ”

Gao Lishi smiled: "Your Majesty is also a princess under her knees, canonized as Princess Xinping, married to Pei Yin ten years ago, but Pei Yin has been weak since childhood, and died of illness within two years of marriage, Princess Xinping is a strong temperament, loyal woman, has not remarried for eight years, this is completely different from other princesses and county lords of the royal family, Your Majesty is very fond of Princess Xinping, and has been extremely worried about her marriage, but Princess Xinping has not found the person she likes, so she has always refused to remarry, this time Your Majesty heard that Princess Xinping has been very concerned about the heroic deeds of the handsome, asked her, and learned that if it was a handsome, she would be willing to remarry, so His Majesty wanted to marry Princess Xinping to a handsome. Princess Xinping is Zhenlie, and the handsome is a model of heroes in the world, you two are a good match! ”

Zhao Ziliang suddenly cried and laughed when he heard this, "Gonggong Gao, why did Your Majesty suddenly remember to marry Princess Xinping to Zhao?" How can Zhao be virtuous? Besides, Zhao now has a three-bedroom wife, and no matter how much he does, he can't be busy! ”

The officials and generals sitting on both sides couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Gao Lishi smiled: "Dashuai's words are not right, who among men will dislike having many wives and concubines?" How many people envy the blessings of people? Moreover, Princess Xinping has always admired Dashuai, and the two of you happen to be a good match! Don't find other excuses to excuse yourself, you just say whether you are willing or not, right? ”

"This ······" Zhao Ziliang couldn't help touching his forehead, feeling that this matter was a headache, and said: "Father-in-law Gao, it's not a question of willingness or not, you see that I am busy with military affairs all day long, even if I marry Princess Xinping into the family, how can I have time to accompany her?" ”

Gao Lishi said: "Dashuai, there is always time to squeeze, Princess Xinping is not a weak woman, these years she has not only read and written at home, but also danced knives and guns, her body is still very strong, after entering the handsome's house, she can serve the handsome with the army, isn't it better?" There is another most important point, although His Majesty does not say it, but our family understands what His Majesty means, the handsome man is now in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and the power is monstrous, His Majesty wants to kiss and kiss you, presumably more than using our family, the handsome should also understand, right? Marshal, you have to reassure Your Majesty, right? ”

The officials and generals of the Marshal's Mansion heard these words of Gao Lishi, and they all said in their hearts, isn't this a forced marriage?

Zhao Ziliang knew that when Gao Lishi said this, this family matter was already a certainty, even if he didn't want to, he had to marry Princess Xinping, otherwise he could only unload the military power again, but this time I was afraid that he didn't take the initiative to unload the military power, for a little personal matter and disregarded the overall situation, this is not something that a mature man can do.

Zhao Ziliang could only sigh: "Okay, since His Majesty sent Gonggong Gao to come over in person to talk about this matter, and Princess Xinping is interested in me, what reason can I, Zhao, refuse?" As for the specific days······"

Colliers said: "From our point of view, it is better to be double happy, so we will set the date for the eighteenth of next month, and the two marriages will be done together, which is both trouble-free and lively, how about it?" ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, Zhao Ziliang was also stupid, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, this is ridiculous, I have only heard of the brothers getting married together, but I have never heard of the father and son getting married together, if this thing is said, won't it make people laugh and lose their big teeth?" ”

Some of the generals saw that Zhao Ziliang had agreed, but he didn't agree to marry his son on the same day, so he joked: "Dashuai, how can this make people laugh off their big teeth?" This is a great event, how many people want to do this without this opportunity, the end will see that this matter is feasible, maybe there will be a good story in the future! ”

Other officials and generals also coaxed, "It's extreme, it's handsome, it's decided!" ”

Someone else said: "Dashuai, when you married Mrs. Meng, we couldn't even drink a sip of water and wine, and now that we have this opportunity, we can't let it go no matter what!" ”

Gao Lishi smiled: "Marshal, you see that the generals are very happy, you can't ignore everyone's kindness, right?" ”

Zhao Ziliang patted his forehead, "Forget it, since that's the case, let's set it on the same day!" ”

The next day, Zhao Ziliang sent Gao Lishi away and brought Du Fu to say: "Zimei, I am going to inspect the cities around Luoyang these days to check the progress of our army's recovery of the surrounding cities, so I would like to ask you to handle the preparations for the wedding, what do you think?" ”

Du Fu hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the lower officials have been properly handled!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought of Li Bai again and asked, "How has Li Bai been doing as a groom recently?" ”

Du Fu said with a smile: "Dashuai's move is not bad, and now Li Jushi has completely put down the shelf and done this groom's errand very well!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Okay, since he is already a qualified horseman, let him be a horse wrangler, if he, a horse wrangler, raises all the military horses and keeps the horse farm in order, he will be promoted again!" ”

Du Fu arched his hand and said: "The lower officials will tell Li Jushi what the marshal said!" ”

Since An Taiqing, Tian Qianzhen and Niu Tingjie and other rebels were killed by Yin Ziqi, and Yin Ziqi's 300,000 horses were forced to surrender by Zhao Ziliang, and then Li Huaixian and Xie Yuan and other rebels fled on the plane, the rebels' power in Henan basically collapsed, even if the cities were still in the hands of the rebels, but the rebels in these cities were only two or three thousand people, and there were only a few hundred people, and as soon as the Tang army arrived, these rebels knew that they were not opponents, and they couldn't hold it, so they immediately opened the city gate and surrendered, within a few days, Most of the land in Henan, which was occupied by the rebels, was once again recovered by the Tang army.

On February 28, Zhao Ziliang returned to Luoyang after inspecting all parts of Henan, Wang Can came to report: "Marshal, the latest battle report, under the attack of Li Siye's army, Xie Yuantong led his troops to retreat east to Suiyang, but then was besieged in Suiyang City by Li Siye, Lai Yao, Wu Wang Li Yuan, etc., Xie Yuantong led his troops to kill out of the siege and only fled north with hundreds of horses, and was killed by the generals on the way, and the generals surrendered our army with their heads after killing Xie Yuantong, and now Xie Yuantong's head is being sent to Luoyang! ”

Zhao Ziliang was overjoyed and said: "Okay, except for Xie Yuan's department, only Li Huaixian is left in the land of Henan, what is the situation of Li Huaixian's department now?" ”

"Chu Ge's army pressed the border, Li Huaixian couldn't resist it, abandoned Xingyang, and retreated to Bianzhou, and now Li Huaixian is preparing to retreat to Hebei to take refuge in An Qingxu!"

Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and ordered: "Order Li Siye, Lai Yao, and Li Yuan, the king of Wu, to each lead their troops to the north until the south bank of the Yellow River, and order Chu Ge to continue to approach Bianzhou, and if there is an opportunity, leave Li Huaixian in Bianzhou, and if Li Huaixian leads his troops to retreat to Hebei, occupy Bianzhou, and prepare to cross the river while reorganizing and surrendering troops!" ”

"No!"

After the Tang army recovered the land of Henan, it began to reorganize and surrender troops, dispatched officials to various places to take up posts, and led the people to reclaim the abandoned land for farming, restore production and economy, and after several years of war, the livelihood of the people in Henan, Hebei, Hedong, Guanzhong and other places withered, the land was barren, the population was greatly reduced, and the economy almost came to a standstill.

During this period of time, Zhao Ziliang inspected various places in Henan, and found that there were ruins and broken walls everywhere, and there were often no human figures in a radius of dozens of miles, and the villages had long been deserted, the houses had collapsed, and the fields were full of weeds of human height, even wild dogs often could not see one.

Dispatching officials to local posts and resuming production is the most important task at present, otherwise if this continues, the grain, grass, and military salaries that can be supplied by various localities will only become less and less, and the army will only become smaller and smaller.

The power of the rebels is getting weaker and weaker, and it is a matter of time before the rebels are exterminated, Zhao Ziliang is not worried at all, what he is worried about is that in Jiangnan and other places that have not experienced war, the situation of land annexation is becoming more and more serious, and more and more people can no longer live in their original places of residence, and can only go out with their families to beg for food and become refugees, and the imperial court has not made relevant countermeasures in this regard, if this situation continues for a long time, even if the Anshi Rebellion is pacified, rebellions will occur one after another, and the people will not survive, Surely will not wait to starve to death.

Regarding this problem, Zhao Ziliang decided to write to the imperial court, suggesting that the imperial court find a way to introduce some measures and decrees to curb the status quo of land annexation, and then find other ways to alleviate this social contradiction, but the result of the book was to sink into the sea, and I am afraid that the emperor will not have a good way to solve this problem.
