Seeing that the Chinese New Year was about to come, Ge Shuyao settled the soldiers and horses of the Shenwu Army, and came to the Regent's Mansion to meet Zhao Ziliang in the afternoon of the same day, and Zhao Ziliang met him in the main hall of the lobby. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The last general, Brother Shuyao, meets the king!"

Ge Shuyao still has injuries on his body, and many parts of his head and body are still wrapped in gauze, which looks extremely miserable.

Zhao Ziliang got up from behind the desk and walked down the steps to help him up: "Hurry up, your injuries are not healed yet, so you don't need to be polite." Come, let's go sit next to us. ”

After the two sat down, the eunuch quickly brought tea, and Zhao Ziliang asked, "We haven't seen each other for ten years, right?" ”

Ge Shuyao hugged his fists and said: "The king has a really good memory, he will meet the king in Luoyang at the end of ten years ago, and then go to Hedong under the recommendation of the king to serve under Marshal Li Guangbi, and it has been ten years since he traveled!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and asked, "How do you feel about leading the army to quell the rebellion this time?" ”

Ge Shuyao sighed: "The last general was taught by his father and learned some skills of soldiers and horses and marching battles, and only when he arrived in Hedong under the account of Li Dashuai did he know that he was sitting in a well and watching the sky, and he had learned a lot by Li Dashuai's side for many years. I thought I could do something, but I didn't expect to lead the army to fight with Li Zhongchen this time, and at the beginning I lost a few games in a row, and I was trapped by Li Zhongchen in Xiangyang for several months. The end will have the trust of the court and the emperor! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "You don't have to be presumptuous. You have the skills, and it is not in vain that you learned so many marching and fighting skills from your father and Li Guangbi, otherwise you would not still be sitting here talking to this king. Although Li Zhongchen is a traitor general, he is also killed from thousands of troops, and his experience in marching and fighting will not be worse than yours, you have your advantages, he also has his advantages, your advantages are that you have been systematically taught the art of war by your father and Li Guangbi, and the education he received is relatively formal, and he is considered to be from a professional class, Li Zhongchen has no one to teach him to fight, he has figured it out by himself, speaking of it, it is a wild road, your advantages are good, but sometimes it becomes your shackles, and Li Zhongchen is born in a wild road, He is not bound by rules and regulations in marching and fighting, so if you fight against him, you can't figure out his combat intentions according to the idea of regular combat! That's one of the reasons why you've lost a few games against him; In addition, Li Zhongchen's subordinates are all fierce generals and pawns who fight all year round, dare to fight, and are all people who lick blood with knives, your Shenwu army stays in the capital all the year round, and the spirit and spirit are completely inferior to the soldiers under Li Zhongchen's command, and they naturally can't withstand the fight just now. But the army under Li Zhongchen is not without weaknesses, the weakness of the rebel army is that morale and courage cannot last, because they themselves are unreasonable, lack of faith, at the beginning they can still rely on a strong force of courage to maintain, if they win, they will be more arrogant, if they lose, they will lose faster! ”

Ge Shuyao hugged his fists and said: "The king broke through the traitor's truth in one word, and the last general was also surrounded by Li Zhongchen in Xiangyang City to discover this, as time goes on, their offensive ability is getting weaker and weaker!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and said: "Your persistence in Xiangyang has bought time for the imperial court to send troops, and won the opportunity for the imperial court to succeed in this counterinsurgency. You and the Shenwu Army have contributed to the process of quelling the rebellion, what are your thoughts on the future appointment? ”

Ge Shuyao hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The last general has no ideas, everything is subject to the dispatch of the king and the court!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought about it for a while, and said to Ge Shuyao: "Regarding your future appointment, this king has not yet thought about it. In this way, you go home to spend a good year with your family first, and then come back after the fifteenth day of the first month of next year, this king has his own arrangements. The king of the Shenwu army will send someone to work with the army, you don't have to worry about it for the time being, it is rare to have time at home, and have a good reunion with your family, and the court will kick off the curtain on the matter of cutting the domain after the year, and officially carry out the first step of cutting the domain, maybe there will be an eyeless feudal town to jump out to oppose it, and even raise troops against the court, and then the court will inevitably send troops to fight, maybe you will not be able to be with your family for a long time, cherish this rare opportunity! ”

Zhao Ziliang's words revealed a lot of information, Ge Shuyao was quite excited to hear it, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "The last general will obey the order, everything is only the king's order!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, turned his head and shouted, "Someone!" ”

The two young eunuchs came over with a plate of gold ingots, and Zhao Ziliang said to Ge Shuyao: "This king knows that you are not good at managing money, and you have rewarded most of your salary to the soldiers during the period of leading the soldiers, but you can't ignore it at home. This is the king's reward for you personally, there are three boxes of copper coins, a cart of brocade and two carts of cloth outside, take it back to make a few clothes for your wife and children, and buy some New Year's goods! The soldiers of the Shenwu Army also have rewards, so don't worry about this! ”

Ge Shuyao burst into tears, got up and bowed down, "The last general is grateful!" ”

Zhao Ziliang hurriedly pulled him: "You don't have to be like this, you get up first, this king still has something to say to you!" ”

"Yes!"

Ge Shuyao sat back down, and Zhao Ziliang asked, "How is Brother Ling in Xunzhou?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said that the younger brother is Ge Shuhan's other son and Ge Shuyao's younger brother Ge Shuhuang, and Ge Shuhuang is now serving as the assassin of Xunzhou.

Ge Shuyao was a little surprised when he heard this, and replied: "This last general really doesn't know, the last general hasn't communicated with him for a year, and this time he has been besieged in Xiangyang for a few months, so he has no chance to get news of him!" ”

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "Your brother Shu family was originally a barbarian clan in the Western Regions, starting from your grandfather to your generation, the imperial court has entrusted them with important responsibilities and has never been harsh. Tell me yourself, has the Tang Dynasty ever treated your brother Shu family badly? ”

Ge Shuyao shook his head.

Zhao Ziliang continued: "Especially your father, who was the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses at the time, was the king of Xiping County, and he was favored for a while, and he was above 10,000 people under one person, but in the end, he made the late festival unsafe!" Even so, the court still has no suspicions about the two of you. Now that your two brothers are also officials in the court, and their official positions are not low, this king hopes that your brothers will be worthy of the trust of the Tang Dynasty in your brother Shu family. Over the years, there have been traitors in the imperial court, and many people who are good at drilling camps have been promoted, so it is inevitable that the court officials and local officials will be mixed, but most of the officials are good, if you suffer any grievances and wrongs in the officialdom in the future, remember not to act rashly! If there is anything that can be written directly to this king. For those officials who are not good at being officials and doing things, are not good at governing government affairs, and will only flatter and flatter, the court will sooner or later clean them out of the officialdom, but now the time is not yet ripe, if you rush for quick success, it will only backfire, and you as generals should also understand the difficulties of the king and the court! If you are wronged for a while, and you are angry but do something stupid, don't say that the court will not spare you, and this king will not spare you! ”

Brother Shuyao immediately hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, my brother Shu's family is already a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, my brother Shuyao and his brother are both born as ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and dead are ghosts of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

When he said this, Ge Shuyao was actually a little uneasy in his heart, he knew that Zhao Ziliang would not say those words to him for no reason, since he said it, he must mean something! Could it be that there is something wrong with Ge Shuhuang? Thinking of this, Ge Shuyao became more and more uneasy, thinking that he must understand Ge Shuhuang's situation as soon as possible after going back.

Despite the busy government affairs, Zhao Ziliang still tried to find some time to accompany his family for the New Year, but now that the Tang Dynasty is in chaos, he, the regent, is really not in the mood to celebrate the New Year, but in front of his family, he still tries to show happiness and festivity, and does not bring the worries in his heart to his family.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Gao Shang showed Zhao Ziliang the plan to cut the feudal domain implemented in the Guanzhong area, and in this plan, the chief officials of each prefecture and county had a plan for transferring new official posts.

Zhao Ziliang asked: "Have you all checked the resumes of the officials you want for this adjustment?" ”

Gao Shang said: "Yes, Wei Chen personally led people to check in detail, avoiding the places and places of origin where they served in the past. ”

Zhao Ziliang read the adjustment plan and said: "The adjustment plan will be left first, and this king will decide after reading it in detail, maybe it will be changed." Bring all the files and resumes of these people, and this king wants to know something about these people! ”

"Yes!"

After verifying the resumes of the chief officials of various prefectures and counties in Guanzhong, and considering whether they were suitable for the new official positions, Zhao Ziliang really spent a lot of time and greatly revised the adjustment plan made by Gao Shang and others, and was busy from the 15th day of the first month to the 25th day of the first month, and Zhao Ziliang finally decided on the final adjustment plan.

Although the adjustment plan has been decided, Zhao Ziliang is not in a hurry to immediately order the officials to start implementing it, and he still wants to think about it again. These days, he has been keeping this adjustment plan with him, and no one is allowed to contact it, this thing is a top secret, as long as it is leaked in advance, the consequences are unimaginable.

At the first court meeting in early February, Zhao Ziliang officially said his decision at the court meeting, although some courtiers expressed concern about Zhao Ziliang's hasty reduction of feudal domains in the Guanzhong area, Zhao Ziliang still passed the decision strongly, and ordered the Ministry of Officials to implement it immediately according to his final plan, and the official documents transferred were sent to the regent palace to be stamped with a big seal, and then sent to Menxia Province for verification, and finally sent to Shangshu Province, Shangshu Province sent officials to Guanzhong prefectures and counties to supervise the implementation.

Although the chief officials of the prefectures and counties in Guanzhong who received the official transfer document did not understand the transfer, this transfer was a normal behavior, and it was impossible for the imperial court to let an official stay in one position for the rest of his life. Although many officials have been transferred to lower their posts, they cannot rebel because of this transfer, and the dispatch requires them to rush to their new places of duty within a month to report, and the chief officials of the prefectures and counties in Guanzhong have no choice but to accept the orders, pack their bags, and take their families to their new areas of duty to take up their posts.
