These people in the wine forest drank a lot of wine at this time, and after listening to Zhao Ziliang's proposal, they were also very excited, and applauded, if the four of them can complete this role together, the talent of the four people will definitely make this painting and calligraphy famous through the ages!

Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered people to prepare and moved the location of this event to the garden of the county government, which is not small, and the garden area is also very large, as well as pavilions, attics, and flower beds, and the scenery is better after being decorated with heavy snow.

Everyone in the Marshal's Mansion rushed over after getting the news, and hundreds of people crowded into the garden, only to see Pei Min standing in the middle of the open space with a sword in his hand, his momentum condensed, and with a "bang", white sword light shot out from the scabbard, and he saw the sword in Pei Min's hand flying up and down, the sword qi overflowed vertically and horizontally, and there was a crackling sound in the air.

A few minutes later, Pei Min's sword dance was completed, the onlookers of the marshal's mansion applauded, applause was thunderous for a while, Li Bai was drunk, and wrote a poem on the spot, this poem is a superior work, Wu Daozi splashed ink behind the desk, the brush in his hand did not stop, in one go, and covered his own seal after painting, Zhang Xu took the brush and used cursive to inscribe Li Bai's poem in a corner of the scroll, and after writing, he also stamped his own seal, Li Bai also staggered over and took out his own seal to cover, so a famous General Pei sword dance picture was released.

Everyone came to watch and admired this painting and calligraphy.

Someone shouted loudly: "It's rare today, why don't the marshal also come to the prancing horse to play a set of lance methods, so that the three gentlemen can splash ink and make calligraphy and painting famous for future generations?" ”

Hundreds of people woke up one after another, shouting one by one: "It's extreme, it's extreme!" ”

When Li Bai, Zhang Xu, Wu Daozi and others heard this, they were even more interested, and they all felt that Wencai's thoughts were about to pour out like spring water at this time, so they all bowed their hands to Zhao Ziliang and said: "Please marshal play, I can't wait!" ”

So many people coaxed, Zhao Ziliang couldn't shirk it, just waited for someone to bring the war horse, bring the weapon, and drape the whole body, and when it was ready, Zhao Ziliang turned over and got on the horse, holding the horse lance and sitting on the back of the horse to play a set of lance methods, for a time the murderous spirit, the whole garden was like flying sand and stones, and everyone was like being on the battlefield.

Li Bai applauded loudly, and made a poem on the spot, but it was not as good as the previous one, but Cen Shen made a superb masterpiece, Wu Daozi kept painting after reading it, the sweat beads on his forehead became more and more, and his face became more and more pale.

These two paintings were completed, and when they stamped the letters, Zhao Ziliang ordered someone to put them away, and find someone to frame them for future generations.

After entering the winter, the weather became capricious, sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy, sometimes snowy, sometimes cloudy, the weather conditions often changed, the weather became cold, there was no way to attack in a big way, winter can only strengthen drills and vigilance, and the court has no way to do this.

Not only did the fighting on the southern front stop, but even the fighting on the northern front also stopped, and Zhang Shouyu, Gao Xiuyan, Guo Ziyi, and Li Guangbi also entered a period of recuperation. And Shi Siming's losses are also greater, and he just needs to breathe a sigh of relief this winter.

The front line is quiet, but the Chang'an Li Tang court has begun to surge, the emperor is getting older and older, and his energy is much less than before, I heard that he has been infected with wind and cold recently, and it has not always improved, since the former prince Li Heng was imprisoned, the emperor has not set up a prince, and now the emperor is sick, and I don't know if he can survive this winter, the throne is too tempting, and the princes' minds are beginning to live, and they are busy forming gangs and attacking each other, and the sick Emperor Xuanzong is extremely worried about this situation, He thought he was busy preparing for the future.

On the tenth day of November, an edict from Chang'an was sent to the camp of the marshal of the Northern Expedition in Dunqiu with an expedited delivery of 800 li.

After reading the edict, Zhao Ziliang sent away the eunuch and summoned the envoys of the Northern Expeditionary Army to Dunqiu to discuss matters.

On 15 November, the generals of the various armies rushed to the camp of Marshal Dunqiu from various defense areas.

As Zhao Ziliang walked into the front hall wearing armor, the generals of the various armies who were talking in a low voice immediately stopped talking, stood in four rows and bowed to Zhao Ziliang with their fists in their fists and said, "Meet the marshal!" ”

Zhao Ziliang sat down in the hall, raised his hand and said, "Everyone is exempt from courtesy, just sit down!" ”

"Xie Dashuai!" Everyone returned to their seats and sat down.

Zhao Ziliang took out the emperor's edict and said: "A few days ago, the envoy from Chang'an came to bring the emperor's edict, ordering me to temporarily put aside the affairs of the army and go to Chang'an to discuss state affairs. ”

"No!" Wang Can stood up and agreed, and immediately said: "Marshal, everyone, there is news that the emperor has been in poor health recently, and it is said that he has been sick for more than a month and has not improved, and until now the emperor has not determined the candidate for the new prince, the princes have begun to think about it, and they are busy ganging up and attacking each other, so the situation in the DPRK and China is unstable, and the emperor can receive the impeachment of each other among the ministers every day. ”

As soon as the generals heard Wang Can talk about the situation and analysis of the DPRK and China, they all felt quite reasonable, the generals basically had little interest in this kind of thing, and it was the civilian officials and staff who were more concerned about this kind of thing!

Zhao Ziliang saw several civil officials and staff members and asked, "What do the gentlemen think?" If Your Majesty really asks me about the candidate for the crown prince this time, how should I respond? ”

Cen Shen stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Dashuai, the lower officials think that with the power of Dashuai's current power and control of hundreds of thousands of troops, it is better not to express a position on the issue of establishing a prince, no matter whether the emperor himself has determined the candidate in his heart, Dashuai cannot meddle in this matter, otherwise there will be endless troubles!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Cen Shen said: "Dashuai, if the emperor has a certain candidate in his heart, and the marshal doesn't know who this person is, the marshal thinks that a certain prince is suitable and expresses his thoughts to the emperor, regardless of whether the candidate in the emperor's heart is consistent with the marshal, the emperor is bound to be suspicious of the marshal, if the marshal is just an ordinary general, the key is that the marshal is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, if the marshal clearly states which prince he supports, then the probability of this prince ascending the throne is more than eighty percent, Would the emperor think that after his dragon royal bintian, the marshal would use the military power in his hands to overthrow the new emperor? At that time, the situation of the marshal will be very difficult and even dangerous! The marshal will not arouse the emperor's suspicion only if he does not express his position in this matter! ”

Du Fu, Zheng San, Wang Wei, Wang Zhen and others all nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Cen is reasonable!" ”

Zhao Ziliang saw that Gao Shang stroked his beard and seemed to have other ideas, so he asked, "Mr. Gao, what do you think?" ”

Gao Shang heard Zhao Ziliang ask him, stood up and arched his hand: "If the marshal does not think that the prince is worthy of support, it is the safest way not to express his position, but if the marshal thinks that there are people among the princes who are the choice of the Ming monarch and worthy of support, the attitude and approach at this time are very important, it depends on what the marshal thinks in his heart, if the marshal wants the Tang Dynasty to be able to prosper in the future, the marshal must support a prince with the qualifications of a Ming monarch, help him ascend to the throne, and then assist with his heart, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably be able to prosper, but even so, Before the overall situation is completely clear, the marshal cannot express his thoughts and attitudes to the government and the opposition, everything can only be done in secret, otherwise the marshal and the prince supported by the marshal will inevitably become the target of the public, and the dragons are not a joke! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded thoughtfully, Cen Shen and Gao Shang's views are similar, but Gao Shang considered it more comprehensively.

Next, Zhao Ziliang asked the commanders about the military deployment and the rebel situation in their respective defense areas, and then explained to everyone that after he left, everyone should stick to the defense area and not slack off.

That night, Zhao Ziliang sent someone to find his son Zhao Ting.

"Father, are you looking for me?" Zhao Ting walked to the study and asked Zhao Ziliang, who was reading a book.

Zhao Ziliang put down the book and asked, "How is your daughter-in-law?" ”

Zhao Ting was stunned for a moment and replied: "Yining, she has returned to Chang'an to raise a baby since she was pregnant, and a few days ago she sent a letter to say that she is very good in Chang'an, so don't worry about it!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "That's good!" This time I'm going to Chang'an Miansheng, you can go with me too, and see your daughter-in-law. In addition, you also accompany your daughter-in-law to meet your father-in-law, although he has been deposed as the crown prince and has been imprisoned, but how to say that he is also your father-in-law, others can alienate him, even I can alienate him, but you couple cannot! ”

Zhao Ting hugged his fists and said: "The child understands, I don't know when my father will leave?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Early tomorrow morning, you rush back to the barracks overnight to explain the military affairs, and you will come to meet me early tomorrow morning!" ”

"No!"

On November 25, Zhao Ziliang and his son Zhao Ting rushed from Dunqiu to Chang'an, and stayed at their home in Chang'an that night. Early the next morning, the father and son went to Huaqing Palace to meet Emperor Xuanzong.

"Wechen see Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Xuanzong, who was lying on the hospital bed, covered with a thick futon, and had a sickly face, showed a smile on his face after seeing Zhao Ziliang's father and son, and raised his hand to Zhao Ziliang and his son: "The two Aiqing are exempt from courtesy, let's be even!" After speaking, he motioned to the eunuchs and palace maids around him to help him sit up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Ziliang and his son stood up.

Xuanzong was half-lying and asked Zhao Ziliang about some things about the Northern Expeditionary Army and the rebels, Zhao Ziliang answered them one by one, and the two talked for more than half an hour.

Xuanzong looked at Zhao Ting and said with a smile: "You're just afraid that you little guy misses Yining, right?" I see that you can't sit still here, so I hope you can go and retire first, and go and see Yining! ”

Zhao Ting glanced at Zhao Ziliang and saw that Zhao Ziliang nodded slightly, so he got up and saluted Xuanzong and left.

Xuanzong sent all the eunuchs and palace maids around him away, and only the two monarchs and ministers were left in the palace, so Xuanzong turned the topic to the real purpose of recruiting Zhao Ziliang back this time.

"Zhao Qing, you know some of the things that are happening in the DPRK and China at present, right?" (To be continued.) )
