However, Zhao Ziliang did not slack off in power, he has always taken the conquest of the Western world in his lifetime as the ultimate goal of his struggle, after a short break, he is ready to focus on subverting and dealing with the Great Food Country, because to conquer the Western world, the first thing is to conquer the Great Food Country, but a sudden incident interrupted his plan.

On the sixth day of October in the fourth year of Xinghan, Liu Dan, the director of Honglu Temple, hurriedly came to the palace to ask for a meeting, and the eunuch saw that he was anxious, and immediately passed on behalf of him, and was soon summoned by Zhao Ziliang.

"Wechen see the king!" Liu Shan bowed and saluted, because it was not a formal and solemn occasion, Liu Shan did not bow down.

Zhao Ziliang was gossiping with Queen Chen Qingying and several princesses in the garden of the amusement park, and after Liu Dan came, he stopped talking and asked: "Liu Dan, you have always been okay and will not enter the palace to see this king, but today you came, what is the matter?" ”

Liu Shan said: "King, something big has happened!" The servant Gu Huai'en colluded with the Tubo, Tiele, and Hui people to raise 300,000 troops to launch a rebellion, and the emperor sent someone to send an edict to ask the king to send troops to the king! ”

"What?" Zhao Ziliang's face changed, and he got up and shouted: "Where is the person coming, where is the edict?" ”

"It's just outside the Xuanwu Castle!"

Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Announce his entry into the palace quickly!" ”

"Yes, King!"

Zhao Ziliang turned to Queen Chen Qingying and the princesses and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, something big has happened in the imperial court, and this king has to go to the Liangyi Palace to meet the Central Plains envoys and the emperor's edict, so I won't compensate you!" ”

Chen Qingying and the other princesses all got up and said, "State affairs are important, the king goes!" ”

Concubine Xian said: "The king, the concubines are also going!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said unhappily: "Nonsense, what are you doing with a woman going to the Liangyi Palace?" ”

Concubine Xian made a crying motion: "The concubine is worried about the Central Plains, go and ask what happened to the people in the Central Plains?" ”

Chen Qingying hurriedly persuaded: "Don't make trouble, when the king comes back after dealing with it, it's not too late for you to ask, our sisters are also very worried!" ”

"Alright then!"

Zhao Ziliang soon came to the Liangyi Hall to meet with the envoys of the Central Plains, received the edict, and then inquired about the rebellion of the servant Gu Huaien.

After listening to the envoy's story, Zhao Ziliang said to the envoy of the Central Plains: "The envoy will go back to the embassy to rest for a few days, and the king must discuss with the courtiers when and how to send troops, so that the envoy can give a clear reply!" ”

The Central Plains envoy saluted and said: "In this way, the lower official is waiting for the king's good news in the embassy, and the lower official will retire!" ”

After watching the envoy leave, Zhao Ziliang beckoned to Liu Dan, and Liu Shan stepped forward and said, "King!" ”

Zhao Ziliang's face was grim, and he ordered: "Send someone to understand the details of this matter, this king doesn't believe that the servant Huai'en has such a big courage to openly raise troops against the Tang Dynasty, this king is not dead yet!" ”

"Yes, Weichen will go!"

On the morning of October 12, after several days of detailed investigation, Liu Shan hurried to the palace again to report the results of the investigation to Zhao Ziliang. Although Honglu Temple is not an intelligence department, it is a yamen in charge of diplomacy, and it is even easier to collect information about diplomacy than the intelligence department.

After listening to Liu Dan's report, Zhao Ziliang walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, and after a long time, he stopped and said to the eunuch: "Pass the decree, order someone to ring the Jingyang bell, and gather officials above the third rank and generals above the rank of major general to discuss matters in the Guangming Palace!" ”

"Yes!"

The bell is hung in the bell tower on the top of the palace hill, and is guarded by two soldiers on weekdays, and this bell can only be ringed when a major event occurs, such as when the kingdom is invaded from abroad, and the king needs to urgently convene his ministers to discuss the matter, or when the king, the queen mother, or the king dies. Because it hung on a high place, the sound of the ringing could quickly spread throughout the city, and the civil and military officials heard that they should hurry to the palace and meet the king in two quarters of an hour.

The ministers, civil officials, and military generals of Xinjing all changed their faces after hearing the bell, this is the first time that the Jingyang bell has been ringed since the founding of the Western Qin Dynasty and the completion of the palace, it must be a big thing, and they have worn court clothes and rushed to the direction of the palace.

A large number of civil and military generals soon gathered on Taiji Square, and the gate of Xuanwu Fort was quickly opened, and a eunuch shook off the dust and walked out and screamed: "The king has a decree, summon civil officials above the third rank and generals above the rank of major general to go to the Guangming Hall to discuss matters, and the others will go back first and wait for news, don't crowd here!" ”

Officials above the third rank and generals above the rank of major general lined up on the left and right sides to cross the palace bridge and Xuanwu Fort to enter the palace, but other officials and officers who were not of enough rank did not leave, and stayed in Taiji Square in groups to discuss what happened, hoping to get first-hand information here.

Zhao Ziliang wore a brand-new royal robe and held a sword in his hand, walked up to His Majesty and sat down in front of the throne to accept the worship of the ministers. ”

"King Xie!"

After the ministers got up and stood on both sides, Zhao Ziliang said: "Urgently summon the Zhuqing family to come because a major incident has happened in the Central Plains Imperial Court, and the servant Gu Huaien colluded with the Tubo people, the Hui people, the Dangxiang people, the Tiele people, and the Tuyuhun people to raise 300,000 troops to launch a rebellion!" ”

The ministers were shocked: "Ah-"

The hall was suddenly like a vegetable market, and the courtiers and generals talked about it one by one, and some even openly scolded the servants for being ungrateful, and the court raised a white-eyed wolf.

Zhao Ziliang expressed his understanding of the reaction of the ministers and generals, everyone is from the Central Plains, and they still regard the Central Plains as their hometown in their hearts, and their hometown has been repeatedly ravaged by rebels, and the feelings in their hearts can be imagined, many ministers and generals in the DPRK and China subconsciously regard themselves as courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, even him.

Zhao Ziliang pressed his hand, quieted down the ministers, and continued: "At present, the rebels have captured Chang'an, the emperor has withdrawn to Shaanzhou, and the imperial army has held Tongguan to resist the rebels' attack. Regarding the rebellion of the servant bone Huai'en, let Liu Dan, the director of Honglu Temple, explain the reason in detail to the Qing family! ”

"Yes, King!" Liu Shan stood up and saluted Zhao Ziliang, and after walking to His Majesty Dan, he turned to face the ministers.

"Colleagues, since the imperial court quelled the Anshi Rebellion, the interior of the Tang Dynasty has not completely calmed down, the soldiers in the army want to go home, and the generals are looking forward to rewards. However, the emperor and the imperial family began to suspect that the military generals were too powerful. In August and October last year, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were deprived of their military power by the emperor because they were too heavy in military power, and they were successively deprived of military power under the suspicion of eunuchs. In November last year, Lai Yao offended the eunuch Wang Zhongsheng, Wang Zhongsheng falsely accused Lai Yao of rebellion, the emperor was suspicious of Lai Yao, removed Lai Yao's official position, sent someone to investigate in detail, and before it was verified, the emperor issued an order to demote Lai Yao to the county lieutenant of Banchuan, and when Lai Yao was on the way to Banchuan, the emperor issued an order to give Lai Yao death! ”

In February this year, the emperor summoned Li Guangbi and ordered him to stay in the eastern capital, Li Guangbi saw that the current court was in power by the eunuchs, and he was worried that the eunuchs would be framed by the eunuchs, so he delayed his illness, and the emperor repeatedly sent people to urge, Li Guangbi became depressed and became ill under the persecution, and died of illness in Xuzhou in July!"

In February of this year, the servant Gu Huaien led his troops to send his son-in-law and daughter back to Mobei, and his daughter was ordered by the first emperor to make peace with the leader of Mobei Hui. In February, the overseer Luo Fengxian did not know where to get the news, and falsely accused the court of collusion between the servant Gu Huaien and the Hui people, and the servant Gu Huaien could not defend himself. As you all know, the Hui people have been beaten by the king and slaughtered a large number of people, and in less than a hundred and ten years, the Mobei Hui people have no threat to the Central Plains at all. The emperor was suspicious and sent Prime Minister Pei Zunqing to the army of the servant Huai En to comfort him, Huai En hugged Pei Zunqing's feet and wept bitterly, Pei Zunqing let him enter the court to see the emperor. But before leaving, his deputy general Fan Zhicheng persuaded him: 'Dashuai, you have been suspicious of the imperial court, why do you want to go to the unpredictable place of Chang'an? Didn't you see the fate of Lee Kwang-pil and Lai Yao? These two people are not rewarded for their merits, Li Guangbi was seized power, Lai Yao was killed, don't you think about yourself?', so the servant Gu Huaien was afraid of being framed by traitors and refused to enter the court, and the court could not calm the suspicions of all parties about the servant Gu Huaien, the servant Gu Huaien was forced to rebel, he sent his son the servant Gu Ling to attack Xin Yunjing, Xin Yunjing was defeated, and the servant Gu Ling led the army to attack Yuci, and under the unfavorable attack, the servant Gu Xuan was angry and beat the soldiers, and was besieged to death by the soldiers! Huaien was furious and led the troops of Tubo, Hui, Tiele, Dangxiang, Tuyuhun and other troops to attack Xizhou and Fengtian with a total of 300,000 troops and horses. But Huai En soon died violently in the army, and the Tubo, Hui, Tiele, Dangxiang and Tuyuhun armies gathered but did not disperse, continued to attack in the direction of Lantian and broke through Chang'an, and this is how it happened! ”

The hall was silent, and many ministers felt sorry for their servant Grace.

Bai Xiaode stood up and said: "In other words, the servant Bone Huaien was forced to rebel, and he didn't intend to rebel?" ”

Liu Shan nodded and sighed: "In the rebellion of Pingding Anshi, forty-six men in the family of the servant Gu Huaien died in battle, and three daughters were ordered by the emperor to marry the leaders of the northern parts of the country as their wives, which can be described as full of loyalty, but such a person was not trusted by the imperial court, and was forced to rebel by the eunuchs!" ”

Bai Xiaode said indignantly: "Being so suspicious, what else can such a court be loyal to?" No wonder so many multilateral towns don't obey the imperial court and don't obey orders, they really deserve it! ”

Some officials and generals were also angry, complaining about the injustice of the servant and the fact that he was not worth it.

Zhao Ziliang patted the royal case and said angrily: "Enough! If you are not trusted and suspicious, you will rebel, and what is the reason for this? In this way, will there be no peace in the world? How can one person trust another person completely? Not to mention the monarch and minister, even between husband and wife, father and son, can they trust 100%? In any case, this can't be a reason for anyone to rebel, there is a way to solve the matter after all, the servant Gu Huaien is soft ears, and he was afraid after being persuaded by his subordinates for a few words, the court did not take the lead in raising troops to attack him, after all, he is a general of the court, and the emperor also needs to think carefully before making a decision, it is he who can't withstand the pressure and makes an unforgivable mistake! ”
