Zhao Ziliang affirmed Zhao Lei's answer, looked at his second son Zhao Ting, and said, "Zhao Ting, it stands to reason that your ability is enough to become a king, but there is only one position for the king!" Gu Zai had thought about opening another country from the current territory of the Western Qin State before, so that you could rule, but Gu finally rejected this idea, you have other brothers, if you are divided, then Lone can't favor other sons, you have to divide it, this will undoubtedly make Xiqin divided, our Xiqin is a whole, Xiqin cannot be divided, from beginning to end can only be under the rule of a royal court, this is an iron law, can not be shaken at any time! ”

"The reason why we in Xiqin can achieve today's situation is entirely because we can unite internally, not only within our Zhao family, but also because we unite the official and military ministers and generals, in addition to uniting the minority tribes, respecting their customs, and treating them as a member of our big family. I hope that your brothers will be able to unite as one in the future, and not be disliked because of power! ”

The two brothers immediately clasped their fists and said, "Please rest assured, father!" ”

After the two brothers left, Zhao Ziliang returned to the inner palace, Xinping came up and took off the cloak on his shoulder and hung it on the hanger, Zhao Ziliang took off the crown and grabbed his hair, handed the crown to Xinping and put it away, and asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”

"No, I've been waiting for you!" Shinpei replied as he put the crown down.

"By the way, how did I hear that the second child is sick, do you know about this?" Zhao Ziliang took the tea sent by the eunuch, took it in his hand and asked.

Xinping turned around and said: "I knew in the morning, the fifth child is on her side now, since the third child is gone, the second child has long sighed that the years are urging people to get old, and the mood is not too good, and after a long time, this disease will come." I'm staying here just to wait for you to eat, or I'll have to go to the second child's place to see it!" ”

Zhao Ziliang got up and said, "Since the fifth child is also with the second child, then let's all go over there and bring food to eat together!" ”

Xinping had no opinion, and promised: "It's okay, so that you don't have to worry about eating here." Come on, pack all the meals and send them to the Shufei Palace! ”

The maid agreed: "Yes, mother! ”

The arrival of Zhao Ziliang and Xinping made the palace of Concubine Shu a lot of anger, because there were many eunuchs and palace maids, the palace of Concubine Shu was also a lot lively, and it happened that Zhao Ting was also here to visit his mother, and Zhao Ziliang stayed to eat together.

Nie Sanniang was in a depressed mood, infected with wind and cold, and coughed from time to time when she covered her mouth while eating, but this did not affect Zhao Ziliang's appetite, but it made him a little worried, and asked, "Have you ever seen a doctor for treatment?" ”

The fifth Wang Zhiyun said: "The concubine said that she would send someone to find the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat, but the second child said that she had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her health was very good. ”

Zhao Ziliang immediately said angrily with a straight face: "Isn't this nonsense? If you are sick, you have to find a doctor to diagnose and treat it, don't you hear that a minor illness will soon become a major illness if it is not treated? I'm getting older, can't I tell the difference between the severity and the severity? You still think you're in your teens and twenties? Come here, spread the will of the orphan, and go to Xuanliang Imperial Doctor to come and treat Concubine Shu! ”

"Yes!"

After the family finished dinner, Imperial Physician Liang also hurried over, and under Zhao Ziliang's instructions, he gave Nie Sanniang a good diagnosis and treatment.

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Imperial Doctor Liang, how is it?" ”

Imperial Physician Liang put down Nie Sanniang's arm and got up and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "King, Niangniang is so depressed that she let the evil qi enter her body and is infected with the wind cold, it is not important at present, the minister prescribes a few medicines to let the mother disperse the wind cold and evil qi first, but it still needs to relieve the depression in the mother's heart, Weichen suggested that the mother should go out for a walk more and scatter her heart!" ”

"Okay, Lone knows, you can open the medicine first!" Zhao Ziliang waved his hand.

"Yes!"

After sending away Imperial Physician Liang, Nie Sanniang comforted: "Don't worry, the concubine's illness is not a serious illness, it's just a cold." After taking the medicine, it will be fine in a few days! By the way, has the abdication really been decided? ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Yes, how can something that has been decided a long time ago go back on its word?" After all, the world belongs to young people, let them toss. As for me, while I can still walk around, I also want to go around to see the country we have laid down and visit the world's famous places of interest! After the abdication, I am going to Chang'an to inspect the military and political affairs of the imperial court, and live in the regent palace for a period of time, just now Imperial Doctor Liang said to let you go out and walk around more, maybe it can relieve the depression in your heart, I think you will go to Chang'an with me, from Tingzhou to Liangzhou This desert Gobi after nearly 20 years of governance and afforestation, and built a road, there is no such big wind and sand along the way, there is a wide road can be led all the way to Chang'an City, you can sit comfortably on the road in a carriage, no longer have to bump! We can walk along the way and listen to it, and enjoy the scenic spots along the way, such as Daqing Pond, Bodaling, Tianshan Tianchi and so on! ”

After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he turned his head to Xinping and Wang Zhiyun and said, "What do you think, do you want to go to Chang'an with me?" ”

The two looked at each other and nodded: "Hmm! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Then it's decided, the second child, you are recuperating during this time, get up and walk around outside, hang out with your sisters more, you can also go to the ministers' homes as guests, chat with their families, don't stay in the palace all the time!" ”

"Hmm!"

Except for the remote areas that were temporarily unable to receive the edict handed down by the royal court, other areas began to strictly enforce it, and many enemy spies hidden in the Western Qin Dynasty were arrested, the entire spy net pocket was terminated, and the thieves and robbers in various places were eliminated one after another, and the government dispatched a large number of arrests and servants, and the local garrison dispatched troops to assist, and even the ruffians who usually liked to fight and beat were not spared. Some gangs with gray interest have also been eradicated, for a time the prison cells everywhere are overcrowded, the offenders are complaining, the people are applauding, these people who have been arrested and many government officials are gentlemen, if it is usual, the law enforcement people will turn a blind eye, but now the situation is grim, who dares to bend the law for personal gain?

In addition, all the Fengyue establishments in Xiqin have received notices from the government to close their doors, and they will wait for the notice when they will open, as for when the notice will arrive, only God knows. These Fengyue places are closed, which makes many kiln sisters who make a living can only sit and eat, so that the backstage bosses of these Fengyue places lose a lot of income, at this time, everyone knows that they can't do it against the wind, and there is only one end to it, that is, destruction, and closing the door is just to lose some money, and then open the door to do business when the wind slows down a little in the future.

This Spring Festival is the most comfortable year for the people of Xiqin, although it is a hard crackdown, but the government does not prohibit the people from visiting relatives and friends, even on the fifteenth day of the first month, it is still all night to play, visit lanterns, guess word puzzles.

The day of February 16 in 781 A.D. finally arrived, Zhao Ziliang's birthday was on this day, the royal court issued an edict, the whole world celebrated, not only all parts of the Western Qin held a variety of celebrations, even the Tang Dynasty was also received in advance and held various celebrations on this day.

The palace on the mountain of Xinjing Palace and the open space outside the palace were full of banquets, wine and delicacies, and the officials and military generals of the royal court and above, all the officials, officers and generals who were not on duty went to the banquet one after another, because the palace had spread the news that the officials and generals who were not on duty were allowed to go to congratulate their birthdays.

To celebrate his birthday, he always has to give gifts, not to mention going to the king's birthday, even if he goes to ordinary relatives and friends, he has to carry birthday gifts, but everyone knows that Zhao Ziliang never allows ministers and generals to give him gifts on weekdays, and Zhao Ziliang never shows his preferences in front of ministers and generals.

This time to Zhao Ziliang to congratulate the birthday, but also the only time to congratulate the birthday, the ministers love face, can not go empty-handed, many people have written birthday words, poems, in the birthday of the performance of a literary style, Zhao Ziliang for this gift is not rejected, as long as not extravagant waste, do not cause the consequences of the upward and downward effect.

Zhao Ziliang was worshiped by so many people in person for the first time, in short, he was very happy, this life is just such a big scene, and he is not ready to do it again in the future, he is also at ease.

The abdication ceremony of the next day was held at the Temple of Heaven, but all the officials and generals who were qualified to attend were absent. Zhao Ziliang wants to make sacrifices to heaven and earth, read the sacrificial text, report to heaven and earth what he has done and what he has gained and lost since he ascended the throne, and ask the gods of heaven and earth to continue to keep the wind and rain in the West Qin, and the country and the country are peaceful.

After that, Zhao Ziliang issued an edict to announce his abdication to the whole world, temporarily retired to the Cold Ice Palace, and appointed the crown prince Zhao Lei to inherit the throne as the new king of Western Qin.

On the third day, Zhao Ziliang and Zongzheng Temple presided over the coronation and enthronement of the new king, when the enthronement was in progress, Zhao Ziliang took off the crown on his head and put it on Zhao Lei with his own hands, and took the seal and the scepter representing the royal power and handed it to Zhao Lei, but temporarily left the chopping knife, which is Zhao Ziliang's portable saber, on behalf of killing, is a necessary token for exercising the power of the national military commander, and is a symbol of military power.

At this point, the transfer of royal power was completed, and the Western Qin State was officially ruled by the new king Zhao Lei, and Zhao Ziliang retreated into the background.

Zhao Lei inherited the throne, and the first thing he did was to honor his father Zhao Ziliang as the king of Taishang, officially called the holy king in writing, and announced that he would continue to govern according to the previous policy of the holy king. The small countries and tribes attached to various places have written to call Zhao Ziliang the king of kings to show respect. Since he had said that he would not be called emperor in his lifetime, the chiefs of these tribes and the lords of small kingdoms could only respect him as the king of kings, and although he was not an emperor, there was no difference.

On the first day of the first month of March, Zhao Ziliang and Nie Sanniang, Xinping and Wang Zhiyun set off for Chang'an to inspect the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty, escorted by 3,000 guards and 500 dragon guards in the forbidden army.
