Du Fu couldn't help but say next to him: "King, is this disposal too heavy?" Li Dashuai has been dismissed from all official positions and titles because of this······"

Zhao Ziliang turned his head to look at Du Fu and asked rhetorically: "Do you think this disposal is too heavy?" Why don't you raise a horse for him? ”

Du Fu's neck shrunk and he retreated speechlessly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Baoyu hugged his fists and said: "The generals led by the last general actually fought against the imperial court and rebelled, even if the last general presided, even if the last general did not know, but the last general was also guilty, even if the king wanted to kill the last general, it should be, and the last general was only deprived of his official position and title, this punishment is light enough!" I don't know where the king wants the last general to raise horses? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The Huaixi Army is now being reorganized, and a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled people will be eliminated, and there will definitely be a shortage of people who raise horses, you go to Huaixi, and raise a good horse for this king!" ”

Li Baoyu promised: "Yes!" ”

"And!" Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said, "Take your little concubine who was raised outside home, don't raise the war horse because of this little concubine!" ”

"It's a couple!"

Li Baoyu left, and he walked very safely. After coming out of the regent's palace, he breathed a sigh of relief, and this old life was saved. It stands to reason that the mistake he made this time was enough to cut off his head, and the reason why he was not cut down was not because of his great military achievements, but because he had a better attitude of admitting his mistakes, and during the period of repentance, he cut off contacts with anyone in the court.

Li Baoyu knew that he was on the side of the prince before and was definitely a factor that was extremely unstable for himself, he had done some understanding of Zhao Ziliang, now that Zhao Ziliang is in charge, he must break the original political pattern of the imperial court, in the past, all officials who stood in line and had factions must be the targets of attack, this is a matter of time, don't look at some people are still living a very nourishing life, maybe when they will be put in prison, who is an official in this year with a clean butt? It's not easy to find out a crime? Therefore, Li Baoyu has closed the door for a month, and every time the prince sends someone to come, he refuses to leave, so as to show his heart to the regent palace, and finally save this old life.

After Li Baoyu left, Du Fu couldn't help but ask, "Wang, did you really let Li Baoyu raise horses?" He used to be an official Sikong, Situ, and prime minister, and let him raise horses, can he really put down his body? Although Li Baoyu was a member of the prince's family before, this person's loyalty to the imperial court should still be beyond doubt, this person has learned some skills with Li Guangbi, and after a period of training, he is also a good hand at commanding troops, in today's Tang Army, there are not many such people! ”

After the Anshi Rebellion and the wars of the next few years, with the death of a large number of famous generals such as Li Yuan, Wang Zhongsi, Huangfu Weiming, Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, Lai Yao, etc., the generals in the Tang Army have begun to be in short supply, the older generation has died, and the new generation of famous generals has not grown up.

Zhao Ziliang is also facing this embarrassment, before the new generation of generals has grown up, the best way is to use veterans, and at the same time boldly promote newcomers, give them opportunities, so that they can get enough experience, so that they can grow up quickly.

Li Baoyu is a veteran worth using, but this person stood on the side of the prince before, and he did make a big mistake this time, Zhao Ziliang punished Li Baoyu so severely, on the one hand, to tell everyone that he has rules and regulations for governing the country and the army, and anyone who makes a mistake will be punished, and he will never relax the scale because of a certain person; On the other hand, it is also a knock on Li Baoyu to make him have a long memory. Think of how severe the punishment is for a man who used to be a prime minister to raise horses, and for some people, this punishment is worse than killing him.

Zhao Ziliang said: "You don't understand the way of employing people, this king naturally has the intention of this king!" Do you have anything else? ”

When Du Fu heard this, he arched his hand and said: "There is one thing, the Dali Temple has already sentenced Ju Wenzhen and others, and they will be taken to Xuanwu Gate to be beheaded at noon tomorrow!" According to the king's wishes, Yu Shitai only questioned Ju Wenzhen and his cronies, and did not expand the scope of involvement, otherwise the eunuchs of the entire palace would be arrested."

Zhao Ziliang nodded: "Okay, this king knows!" Go tell the outside to prepare some wine and food, how can Ju Wenzhen say that he is also a person around the emperor, and he has also been a prominent figure who has been in power for a while, and tonight the king will send him off! ”

"Yes!"

That night, the gate of the prison was opened, and countless soldiers and horses lined up in front of the gate with torches, and the entire area of the prison was illuminated by lights, which was very rare, because according to the regulations, no one was allowed to enter the prison after dark. But the person who came this time was an exception, he was Zhao Ziliang.

The prison is under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department, and Zhao Ziliang's arrival alarmed Lu Sigong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Yan Yong, the warden of the prison, and the two hurried to accompany Zhao Ziliang into the prison.

The warden Yan Yong pointed to a cell in front of him and said to Zhao Ziliang: "King, this is the No. 1 cell of the human name, and Ju Wenzhen is locked up in it!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked: "Since there are people in the number of cells, is there any other name of cell, who are being held?" ”

Yan Yong introduced: "Back to the king, prisoners are held in the prison according to their titles, official positions and status, and there are three types of cells in the prison, namely the number of heaven, the number of the earth and the number of people. The royal relatives and clans are generally locked up in the Tianzi cell; The senior members above the fourth rank are all locked up in the ground number cell, and the fourth rank and below are all locked up in the human number number. Although Ju Wenzhen is extremely powerful, he only has five grades, so he is locked up in a human cell! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and pointed to the prison door: "Open!" ”

"Yes!" Yan Yong agreed, and ordered the jailer: "Open the cell!" ”

After the cell was opened, the jailer went in first, inspected the cell, and exited the cell. The warden had a small table and two small benches brought in. Zhao Ziliang walked in with a food box and said to Ju Wenzhen, who was looking at him: "The verdict of Dali Temple, this king has heard about it!" Tomorrow you will be on the road, and this king will come to see you off! ”

Ju Wenzhen, who was in rags, with a dirty face and a cloak, slowly stood up, and said with a hoarse smile: "The miscellaneous family has been by the emperor's side all the year round, has enjoyed the wealth of the world, exhausted the power of the world, and once had power in the world. ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to the small bench opposite the low table: "Sit down, this king will accompany you to drink two sips tonight!" ”

"In this way, the miscellaneous family will be disrespectful!" Ju Wenzhen arched his hand, arranged his hair and sat on the small bench, Zhao Ziliang sat opposite Ju Wenzhen, put the food box on the ground, opened it and took out a few dishes of side dishes, a wine jug and two small wine cups, placed the chopsticks, and poured the wine!

"Please!" Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand to a glass of wine.

Ju Wenzhen picked up the wine cup and drank it all.

Zhao Ziliang poured the wine again, and asked while pouring the wine: "Father-in-law, do you regret it?" ”

Ju Wenzhen sneered when she heard this: "Don't you think it's too much for the regent to ask this?" The court fights each other, the king is just defeated, how can there be any regrets? ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said, "Father-in-law's words are wrong! In all dynasties, there have been Ming monarchs who have decreed that the harem and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, and the father-in-law, as a eunuch, is responsible for serving the emperor, but you rely on the emperor's favor to interfere in the government, frame the loyal and good, and cause chaos in the court! If you are like Gao Lishi, who has the emperor's favor and can clean yourself, who can help you? Who would be idle to deal with such a person? When Colliers was alive, he was no less favored by the emperor than you, right? Did he ever rely on the emperor's favor to do whatever he wanted? Who in the government and the opposition does not respect him? Speaking of him, who doesn't give a thumbs up? He once had a little holiday with me back then, all because of Bian Lingcheng, although he said some bad things about me in front of the emperor and hindered my promotion, but he never harmed me. This shows that he is a person who understands measure, knows what he can do and what he can't do! If you can abide by your duty, you will have a comfortable life now, and you will not stay here! ”

Ju Wenzhen was stunned for a moment, and sighed for a long time: "Hearing you say this, I really regret it!" ”

Zhao Ziliang took a sip of his wine glass and said: "If you are just fighting with me for power and have not committed other crimes, especially colluding with the feudal town to achieve your own goals, colluding with the feudal town, and betraying the interests of the imperial court, I can consider letting you go and let you enjoy your old age in peace, but you have gone too far." Political opponents, if the victory or defeat has been divided, you can't cause the other party to die, but your behavior violates the bottom line of being an official, and the people can be disloyal to the court, because they are the ones who support the court, and the court should be loyal to them! Officials can't be disloyal to the court, you spend the salary given to you by the owner but collude with outsiders to betray the owner, you have no professional ethics and literacy, do you think you deserve to die? People like you who eat inside and outside are the object of spurning wherever they go! You keep saying that you are for the emperor to keep the family business, but in fact it is for yourself! Father-in-law, you can't be too selfish, people who are too selfish will only end up betraying their relatives! ”

Ju Wenzhen picked up the wine glass and drank another cup, and after putting down the wine cup, she suddenly cried, knelt down in the direction of the palace and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave is guilty, the old slave is guilty, the old slave deserves death······"

Zhao Ziliang didn't stop him silently, and let Ju Wenzhen cry, Ju Wenzhen cried for a while, wiped away his tears and said to Zhao Ziliang: "King, the old slave requests, let the old slave break it by himself!" ”

Zhao Ziliang got up and walked out, and said as he walked: "Father-in-law, you still don't understand, it's not that this king can't tolerate you, it's that the laws of the Tang Dynasty can't tolerate you!" ”
