Xuan 18 hurriedly walked over and hugged Zhao Ziliang and said: "King, there is news from the Kanto side, Guo Ziyi took over the Marshal's Mansion after arriving in Luoyang, but the Marshal's Mansion has become an empty shelf, and the main officials brought by the prince followed him back to Chang'an after he was injured, so there are no more powerful officials in the Marshal's Mansion, Guo Ziyi wrote to ask the king to send some officials over to enrich the Marshal's Mansion!" In addition, General Li Sheng has led his troops to Xingyang, and a big battle with Li Lingyao, Li Lingyao was defeated, lost 18,000 soldiers, and retreated to Zhongmu to defend to the death, General Li Sheng because most of his troops were cavalry, unable to carry out siege operations, so he could only return to Xingyang to wait for rest; Guo Ziyi wrote to ask the king to put Li Sheng's troops under the command of the Marshal's Mansion, and to allow the Marshal's Mansion to recruit soldiers and horses on its own to quell the rebellion! ”

Zhao Ziliang took the towel handed over by the guard, wiped his sweat, sat on the chair next to him, and said to Xuan Shiba: "Reply to Guo Ziyi, the imperial court has sent some officials to Luoyang, and they are already on the way, and they will arrive soon!" In addition, Li Sheng's ministry did not belong to the imperial army, and in order to avoid friction, the command of Li Sheng's department could not be placed under the marshal's office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Shengbu only obeys the command of the Regent Palace".

"The military system of the imperial court is being reformed, and in the future, the general of the army will no longer be allowed to recruit soldiers on his own, and the recruitment of soldiers will be carried out and drilled by the military department, and after the trained recruits meet the requirements, they will be assigned to each army to supplement the shortage of troops in each army, so the marshal's office is not allowed to recruit soldiers on its own."

"For the army that is going abroad, the imperial court will allocate military expenses, and the army will send people to purchase grain, grass and other military materials from the people on their own, and the purchase price will be purchased according to the market parity, and have priority, and the private merchants must cooperate, and shall not shirk, or the local government will be responsible for assisting in the preparation, and the required expenses shall be paid from the military expenses. The Imperial Military Department is only responsible for supplying weapons, armor, bows, crossbows, arrows, uniforms, quilts, and shoes and socks! ”

"In recent months, the armies of the imperial court have been reorganized, and the recruitment of new recruits from all over the country is underway, so there is no reinforcement in the direction of Luoyang for the time being, so they can only defend on the spot, and if they want to attack the rebels, they can only attack from Huainan and Huaixi to the direction of Biansong! When the training of the imperial court armies is over, the imperial court will immediately send troops to reinforce it! ”

These regulations of Zhao Ziliang can be said to have added a number of restrictions to the army generals, so that they can no longer recruit troops privately, nor can they privately collect military expenses from the people or local officials, military salaries and military expenses, armament logistics, and soldiers are all uniformly supplied by the imperial court, and at the same time, they check and balance each other in terms of power, and there are also military supervisors to supervise military discipline, which is equivalent to choking the throat of army generals, and if you are disobedient, you will be pinched to death!

There was a small official next to him, who quickly recorded what Zhao Ziliang said, Xuan 18 nodded, and asked, "What else does the king command?" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought about it, thought of Li Yuanchun, and immediately said: "Send an edict to Li Yuanchun, this king wants to know the details of the ambush of the Heyang army, and let Li Yuanchun return to Beijing to report on his work!" Liu Qia, the partial general of the Yongping Army, commanded Ruoding during the defense of the state, resisted Tian Yue's powerful offensive with weak troops, and was quite talented, transferred to the defense envoy of Mengzhou, and listened to it in the Marshal's Mansion, and the Heyang Army was temporarily commanded by Liu Qia! ”

There are only more than 5,000 people left in the Heyang army, and the establishment is very incomplete. Zhao Ziliang's purpose in doing this is very clear, that is, to revoke the post of Heyang Jiedu envoy! Xuanzong, Suzong and Daizong in order to pacify or conquer the rebels in the early stage, appointed a large number of Jiedu envoys to this kind of feudal officials, although it is quite beneficial to quell the rebellion, but it is also endless, after all, not all Jiedu envoys are loyal to the imperial court, and Zhao Ziliang is also wiping their butts now doing this.

"Understood!"

Gao Shang hurriedly walked over at this time and arched his hand: "King, Weichen has something important to report!" ”

Zhao Ziliang knew that it would definitely be inconvenient for Gao Shang not to say it on the spot, so he nodded to Xuan Eighteen and said, "That's it, you can do it!" Let's go ahead and get busy."

Everyone dispersed, Zhao Ziliang walked along the martial arts training ground with his hands behind his back, and Gao Shang followed: "Just now there was news from the palace that Pei Mian secretly went to see the emperor!" ”

"Oh? What did he say? Zhao Ziliang was not surprised that someone would slander in front of the emperor, and this was not the first time this situation had happened.

"Pei Mian said to the emperor that the king deliberately let the prince go to the Kwantung region to lead the army to quell the rebellion, the purpose is to fight the prince's power, the prince is not familiar with military affairs, and he is young and vigorous, and the possibility of victory is very small, if the prince is defeated, the king will have a reason to do something to the prince, if the prince encounters misfortune in the war, this is in the heart of the king!"

Zhao Ziliang listened to these words, his expression was very calm, "What is the emperor's reaction?" ”

Gao Shang said: "According to the judgment and analysis of the insider, although the emperor did not believe Pei Mian's words, the emperor's heart was in turmoil, and his trust in the king began to waver!" If the judgment and analysis of the inside line are correct, Wechen is worried that something will happen! ”

Zhao Ziliang stopped, stood in place and was silent for a while, then turned his head and said to Gao Shang: "What should come will come after all, and you can't hide!" Send someone to pass on the king's rare son, Prince Yan, to see the king! ”

Gao Shang arched his hand: "Yes! ”

"Wait!" Zhao Ziliang stopped Gao Shang, thought for a while and said: "Forget it, it is rare for the king to be my deputy back then, and he fought under me during the Anshi Rebellion, counting the relationship between this king and the ministers of the court in the court, except for Zang Xiyan, he has the most harmonious relationship with this king, and this king still goes to see his descendants in person!" ”

Wang rarely died of illness in the second year of Baoying, and during his lifetime, he was awarded the title of Duke of Langxie County, served as a military envoy, and was posthumously presented as the governor of Luzhou. His son Wang Ziyan failed to inherit the title, Wang Ziyan followed his father to fight in the army since he was a child, with strong martial arts, rich experience in leading troops in combat, and outstanding military achievements, but Wang rarely repaid him for his merits. After Wang Tian's death, Wang Ziyan just got a fictitious position as a school guard Wei Qing, and he didn't have anything to do after ordering in the yamen every day, and he has been idle at home for several years. Neither father nor son was a person who could run a family business, and Wang was very sympathetic to his soldiers when he was alive, and often gave his own money to the soldiers, so his family did not have a good time.

Zhao Ziliang, Gao Shang and others came to Wang Ziyan's house with some guards, this is just a very small courtyard, the small courtyard is very clean, but the utensils are extremely old, and it has probably been a long time since anything new has been added.

Zhao Ziliang got off the horse and walked to the gate of the small courtyard, and heard the shouts of practicing in the courtyard, so he hurriedly stopped Gao Shang from knocking on the door, walked to the side of the courtyard wall, and watched through the small hole in the courtyard wall. I saw a strong man in his thirties in the small courtyard who was holding an iron gun and playing vigorously, and the iron gun was in the hands of this person, and the moves were fierce and full of energy.

After watching it for a while, the strong man finished practicing and put away his gun. Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but praise loudly: "Good marksmanship!" ”

The strong man in the courtyard was shocked, turned his head to look at the courtyard wall and shouted: "Who? ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded to Gao Shang, and Gao Shang reached out and knocked on the door: "The regent is coming, and General Wang is still not coming to open the door?" ”

There was an exclamation: "Huh? Then there was the voice of Wang Ziyan who was quite flustered and beckoned his wife and children to come out to greet Zhao Ziliang and his party.

After a while, the door of the small courtyard opened, Wang Ziyan appeared at the door, and when he saw Zhao Ziliang, he hugged his fists and bowed: "The king is coming to the cold house, and the ministers have missed the distance, forgive the sin!" ”

Zhao Ziliang helped Wang Ziyan up, beckoned his wife and children to get up, and said with a smile: "This king came suddenly, and he didn't inform you, how can you be guilty?" Don't you invite this king in and sit down? ”

"The ministers are all flustered, the king is please!" Wang Ziyan said and immediately invited Zhao Ziliang and his party in.

When he arrived in the hall, Zhao Ziliang sat on the main seat, Wang Ziyan's wife brought a bowl of coarse tea, and Wang Ziyan said embarrassedly: "The cold house is simple, and there is no good tea to entertain the king ・・・・・・."

Zhao Ziliang took a sip of tea and asked: "Wang Ziyan, your father's military rank was not low when he was alive, and he was the chief general for a long time, and you also had a lot of military achievements. ”

Wang Ziyan was embarrassed to answer, but his wife said: "Both father and son have the same virtue, and they can't see the soldiers under their command living a hard life, and often use their own money and rewards to help those injured soldiers!" ”

"No wonder!" Zhao Ziliang suddenly realized, and then asked: "You are a general with rich combat experience, why are you in a vacant position now?" Isn't it a waste of this ability to be idle at home? ”

Wang Ziyan's wife rushed to say again: "Offended people! Their father and son have a virtuous nature, upright temperament, they can't see some bad tendencies in the court, and if they see it, they have to say that they have to take care of it, and those big officials in the court didn't care about him at the beginning because of the face of their dead father-in-law, but there were too many times, and those big officials couldn't stand it, and gave him a false position to let him live! ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Wang Ziyan, among the generals of the imperial court, among the generals of your age, your talent is relatively outstanding, and it is a waste of talent to always be idle at home!" How is it, have you ever thought about coming out to lead the troops again? ”

Wang Ziyan's wife was a clever woman, and she immediately kicked him with her foot. Wang Ziyan reacted, and immediately bowed down and said: "The minister is at the disposal of the king at any time!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, "Okay!" You are no longer a military officer, and the armies of the imperial court are undergoing training, and you have not participated in it. In this way, you first go to the general's camp to participate in the training, especially to memorize the new regulations in the army, and after a period of time, this king will transfer you as the general of the right guard! ”

Wang Ziyan immediately agreed: "Yes, king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang instructed Gao Shang: "You can arrange this matter later, and say hello to Zhang Ben!" ”

"Understood!"

Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand again to grab the son of Wang Ziyan, touched the child's head and said to Wang Ziyan and his wife: "In person, the king left the Central Plains in a hurry, and recommended your father to preside over the continuation of the conquest of Tibet. Later, the king also heard that people with ambitions and ideas who wanted to do something would always be interfered with by other people in the court, and the matter of conquest of the rebels was repeatedly abandoned halfway, and before the king came to the Central Plains this time, the situation in the court had deteriorated to the point where it was almost difficult to end. This situation must be changed, and the court must work together to eliminate interference and unite with the outside world! Your father and you are both thoughtful, both are people who are not willing to spend their lives in vain, and your father has done many things during his lifetime that will only be praised by future generations, and this king hopes that you will do the same! ”

Wang Ziyan hugged his fists and said: "The whole court can only be condensed into a force under the control of the king, otherwise it will be difficult to calm the world!" ”
