After the banquet in the palace, Zhao Ziliang and his generals, military officials and others came to the mansion given by the emperor, this mansion was originally Li Linfu's mansion, Li Linfu was framed by Yang Guozhong for rebellion after his death, Li Linfu's cemetery was reburied, his house was raided, his family was also exiled, and this mansion was empty.

Nie Sanniang brought hot water with the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied her, Zhao Ziliang took a bath, and after getting dressed, he said to her: "I still have to discuss with the ministers and generals, it is estimated that I will come back very late, you wash and sleep first, you don't have to wait for me!" ”

"Well, don't be too late!"

"Hmm!" Zhao Ziliang said yes and walked out of the room.

This mansion covers an area of a large area, Zhao Ziliang walked for a while under the guidance of the eunuch before coming to the main hall, when Li Linfu was alive, Zhao Ziliang came once, but did not visit carefully, I don't know what the specific pattern is, this time I feel quite unfamiliar to live in. In Chang'an City, where all countries came to the dynasty, there was such a large and luxurious garden-style mansion, and only people like Li Linfu who leaned towards the government and the opposition had this energy.

Zhao Ziliang walked into the meeting hall, the ministers and generals had been waiting here for a long time, and they came here directly after returning from the palace with Zhao Ziliang, and their respective residences had not yet been confirmed, so they could only stay here.

"The ministers have seen the king!" The ministers and generals all stood up and bowed with their hands and fists.

"It's all forgiven!" Zhao Ziliang sat on the main seat and waved his hand, and after everyone got up, he said, "The Zhuqing family is no stranger to this mansion, right?" This is the mansion of Li Linfu, who leaned towards the government and the opposition back then, for more than ten years, it has been uninhabited, although the interior furnishings are a little old, but you can still live in it after cleaning it up. It covers a large area here, and there are many houses, in order to facilitate the discussion, and for everyone's own safety, this king thought about it, and thought that it would be better for the Zhuqing family to live here in a short period of time, and then we would give the Zhuqing family a mansion and servants when we grasped the situation of the court! The respective rooms of the Zhuqing family have been arranged, and after the meeting is over, there will be someone to take you over, the emperor has sent someone to prepare, the luggage is all available, you can move in directly, if you need to add something, tell Li Muchen, from now on, he is the big housekeeper of this mansion! ”

Li Muchen stood up and smiled at the ministers and generals: "The lower official is trusted by the king and handed over the logistics of the palace to the lower official, and the lower official will also be the chief manager from now on. ”

The ministers all burst into laughter.

After laughing, Zhao Ziliang said again: "Before moving in, the emperor and the imperial court have already arranged servants here, and there should be spies planted by some people among these people, but it is the emperor's intention to arrange these people, and it is inconvenient for this king to return them, so you must be cautious in your actions and words, so as not to leak the news and be caught!" ”

The ministers nodded one after another, it doesn't matter to the generals, the army is stationed outside the city, and of course the generals will stay in the barracks to lead the troops and horses, and generally will not leave the barracks easily.

Zhao Ziliang looked at the generals, pointed at Xuan Jiu and instructed: "Xuan Jiu, from now on, you will be responsible for the security and vigilance of the entire palace, and the ministers will arrange soldiers to escort them when they go out, and they will also keep an eye on the original servants and find out the secret agents among them!" ”

Xuan Jiu stood up and hugged his fists and said, "The minister is ordered!" ”

"Gao Shang, you are responsible for collecting the news of the court officials and generals, keeping abreast of the political situation of the court, and all the detailed work we left in Chang'an will be handed over to you to contact and control!"

"Governor Xuan Eighteen of Xichang, you are responsible for the intelligence collection of various feudal towns! Fully activate our local crafts, it's time for them to get back active! ”

"Zhang Ben, the commander of the Huya Army, you are responsible for the collection of military trends in various feudal towns, including the situation of the various armies in the imperial court! In these two days, we will first understand the details of the various armies of the imperial court, and this king needs to understand clearly before going to the court! ”

In addition to the above people, Zhao Ziliang then appointed a number of ministers to be responsible for various matters, some of whom were specifically responsible for handling copywriting and official documents for Zhao Ziliang, and some were specifically responsible for contacting Xinjing.

Gao Shang stood up and arched his hand: "King, these days Weichen has done some understanding of the situation in Chang'an, and the current situation is dominated by three forces: first, the princeling party headed by the prince Li Shi; the second is the prime minister's faction headed by Yuan Zai; The third is the eunuch party headed by the eunuch Ju Wenzhen, these three forces have a certain amount of military power and political power, for example, the princelings control the left and right Jin Wuwei; The prime minister's faction controls the left and right Shenwu army; The eunuchs are in control of the Shence Army! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Which side does Guo Ziyi belong to?" ”

"Although Guo Ziyi is a member of the Tongzhong Shumen, he does not participate in politics, he has the title of prime minister, but he is only in charge of the soldiers, but he has a lot of dealings with the prince Li Shi!"

Zhao Ziliang said: "So he is the prince's person!" If you tell me the details of these three parties, who are the members? ”

"Yes!" Gao Shang agreed, and immediately explained in detail who the three forces were composed of and what official positions the members should hold.

Zhao Ziliang pondered in his heart when he learned the situation, and asked again: "This king heard that because of the continuous battlefield, most of the armies of the Jingshi have ceased to exist, and they have been taken out of the system, but the Divine Ce Army has been added to the forbidden army, how did this Divine Ce Army become a forbidden army?" ”

Xuan 18 stood up and hugged his fists and said: "The king, this matter Weichen sent someone to investigate, at the end of the Anshi Rebellion, part of the Shence army was led by Wei Boyu to Hebei to quell the chaos, when the Tubo invasion, the king was ordered to requisit, at that time the Shence army garrison has been occupied by the Tubo army, and the military envoy Cheng Ruxuan died in battle. Wei Boyu this Shence army later recruited soldiers with the support of Ju Wenzhen to develop into a military town of more than 10,000 people, the last time the barbarian army rebelled, when the soldiers entered Chang'an, Ju Wenzhen was escorted by the Shence army, and when the rebels retreated and the emperor returned to Chang'an, the Shence army was designated as the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven, divided into the left and right wings, and was stationed in the garden! The soldiers and horses envoy on the left wing of the Shence Army is the eunuch Dou Wenchang, and the deputy envoy is Hun Xuan; The envoy of the soldiers and horses on the right is Wei Boyu, and the deputy envoy is the eunuch Huo Xianming! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Who is this Hun Xuan?" ”

Xuan Eighteen said: "Hun Xuan was Guo Ziyi's subordinate before that!" Hun Yang has quite a lot of military achievements, and he has martial arts and unparalleled archery skills, Guo Ziyi recommended him to protect the emperor's safety, the emperor didn't want to use Hun Yang as a general, but it was not easy to refute Guo Ziyi's face, so he had to appoint him as the deputy envoy of the left wing of the Shence Army! ”

"In this way, Hun Xuan is a pawn of the prince's party to break into the eunuch party!" Li Muchen said with a smile.

Xuan 18 continued: "Recently, the prince's faction and the prime minister's faction seem to be uniting to weaken the strength of the eunuch faction, because Wei Boyu is talented and has repeatedly made military exploits in the process of counterinsurgency, so the prince's faction and the prime minister's faction have united to recommend him as Jiangling Yin, wanting to exclude him from the capital. Wei Boyu was originally a general in the army, but he was sent to be a Jiangling Yin, if he received the edict, he would definitely lose his military power, of course the eunuch party did not agree, but the power of the prince's family and the prime minister's faction was too great, the emperor couldn't stand it, and the eunuch party could only retreat and agree to transfer Wei Boyu to Jiangling, but he must also be the imperial historian, and serve as the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu Observation! At the same time in these two positions, Wei Boyu's rights and status are completely different, which is equivalent to the feudal official, so that the power of the eunuch party is not only not weakened, but has been strengthened, in order not to give the prince and the prime minister a chance to oppose, the eunuch party did not wait for the day of the court to persuade the emperor to issue an edict! But things are too coincidental, at this time Wei Boyu's old mother died of illness, according to the usual Wei Boyu to worry about his mother, so the prince and the prime minister faction after compromise and weighing, recommended Wang Ang to take up his post, Wei Boyu learned that he was angry, and was instigated by the eunuch party, and instructed the generals not to obey the edict, this happened yesterday, the soldiers and horses on the right wing of the Shence army almost made a big incident, if it was not for the emperor's timely decree to withdraw the edict of the envoy, the consequences are unpredictable! Today's news of the arrival of our army has temporarily silenced the emperor and the three forces of the DPRK and China, but I am afraid that I don't want the king to see this kind of ugly thing! ”

"What a bastard!" After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang's face turned pale, and he slapped the table and said angrily: "The feudal towns outside are not subject to the orders of the imperial court, they are doing their own thing, and they are rebelling one after another, and the situation in the world has collapsed to such an extent that these dogs are still fighting in the den!" This Wei Boyu, this king was very optimistic about him at the beginning, but he was brave and brave, but he actually did such an ugly thing! ”

Gao Shang stood up and arched his hand: "The king is angry, it is not worth being angry with such people!" After our army settles down and deals with trivial matters, in a few days the king will discuss with the emperor and the ministers of the court the issue of the king's official position in the court, which is related to the size of the king's power in the future and whether he can open up the situation. ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and asked, "What official position do you think the king should ask the emperor for?" ”

Fan Wuchen, the counselor, stood up and said: "The king, Weichen thinks that the reason why the emperor and the ministers of the court can agree to let the king return to Chang'an to deal with the rebellion in various places must be that the emperor and the court are unable to deal with the current situation, if this situation is allowed to continue to develop, the prestige of the emperor and the court will become weaker and weaker, they are worried that the situation will worsen, but there is no good way to solve it, so they agreed to let the king come to Chang'an to deal with the current chaos!" Weichen thought that the king should invite himself to be the regent, even if the ministers of the court did not agree, the emperor was very likely to agree, and once the king became the regent, he could calmly deal with the chaotic and complicated situation in the court."

"Regent?" Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Isn't this the same as telling the emperor to let him be an ornament?" Will he agree? Our expectations can't be too high! ”
