Chapter 1093: Angry Rebuke
After Wei Bojiedu made Tian Yue the head, now the largest feudal town in the Tang Dynasty is only Li Baochen and Li Na, both of whom are from barbarians, Li Baochen is a Xi person, Li Na is a Goguryeo person, in fact, after the Anshi Rebellion, most of the generals who did not obey the control of the imperial court were generals, and the Han generals did not obey the control of the imperial court, on the one hand, because of the results of Emperor Xuanzong and Li Linfu's reuse of generals, on the other hand, the Han generals were somewhat influenced by the Confucian idea of loyalty to the monarch.

In history, the reason why the Tang Dynasty was a little helpless to take these feudal towns was mainly because the Tubo and Mobei barbarians continued to invade, which restrained a large number of troops, financial resources, material resources and energy of the Tang Dynasty, and in this time and space, a few years after the end of the Anshi Rebellion, it was also the period when the Tubo and the northwest, and the barbarians in the south of the desert invaded the Tang Dynasty, which made the Tang Dynasty temporarily unable to completely clean up the remnants of the Anshi Rebellion, although Zhao Ziliang later led the Western Qin army to sweep away the barbarians in Tubo, Northwest and Monan, But this is the remnants of Anshi have taken advantage of the precious time of the past few years to develop and grow all of them have nearly 100,000 soldiers, and it is impossible for the imperial court to eradicate the feudal towns in the short term, coupled with a series of stupid tricks of Emperor Daizong during his reign, the battle in the court tends to be white-hot, and the fierce struggle of the imperial court makes the imperial court simply unable to manage the increasingly powerful feudal towns and local governments, so that it gradually loses control over the feudal towns and many local governments.
So many strong feudal towns, in just one year there are only Chengde and Ziqing left, and now Chengde is being sandwiched between the Tang army from the north and south directions, Ziqing is also being attacked by Li Sheng with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, Xuzhou has been recovered by Li Sheng, killing and capturing a large number of Ziqing troops, at the same time, after Zhang Yi, Wei Yuanfu and Quhuan were transferred to Chang'an to report on their work, Zang Xiyan has no constraints, and Zhao Ziliang's sword is deterred, Yongping Army, Heyang Army, Many generals of the Huainan Army and Chen Xujun no longer dared to disobey Zang Xiyan's military orders, and the speed and efficiency of the army's northward advance were greatly improved.
In the face of this dangerous situation, Li Baochen and Li Na were extremely frightened, and they wrote to the imperial court to ask them to forgive their mistakes, saying that in the future, they would obey the imperial court's edicts, pay financial taxes and tributes on time, and resolutely carry out all the decrees issued by the imperial court, hoping to escape punishment and delay time.
Of course, Zhao Ziliang would not be deceived by Li Baochen and Li Na's clumsy tricks, he mercilessly rejected Li Baochen and Li Na's petition, and sent someone to send an edict to reprimand him, if he wants to live, he should surrender unconditionally immediately before he reaches the end of the mountain, and don't think that the court will be deceived by this clumsy little trick.
Li Baochen and Li Na were unwilling to surrender unconditionally, and continued to fight against the imperial army. However, the situation of these two men was so bad that many of the generals and officials on both sides began to think about their own way out, which caused Li Baochen and Li Na to resist the attack of the imperial army, and the battle became more difficult.
On the twenty-second day of the first month of the fourth year of the Great Calendar (769 AD), Zhao Ziliang finally sent someone to summon Zhang Yi, Wei Yuanfu and Qu Huan.
The three of them were led into the palace hall by Du Fu, and when they saw Zhao Ziliang, they all knelt down to pay respects: "The ministers meet the king!" ”
"Quhuan, you get up first!" Zhao Ziliang said loudly.
Everyone in the hall was stunned, Qu Huan was the same, he looked at Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu on his side, and clasped his fists and saluted again: "Thank you, King!" With that, he got up and stood aside.
At this time, where did everyone in the hall still not understand that Zhao Ziliang was dissatisfied with Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu disregarding the overall situation and sending troops to confront each other, which had caused too much impact? However, there are still a few people who also think of the relationship between Quhuan and Zhao Ziliang, so they are treated so preferentially.
What is the relationship between Quhuan and Zhao Ziliang? Of course, it is related, Qu Huan's father Qu Bin has been an official in Longyou for a long time, twice as a civilian official under Zhao Ziliang, Qu Huan grew up in the army, familiar with military books, brave to ride and shoot, he is only four years younger than Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang was ordered to lead the army to Longyou to fight back against the invasion of Tubo in the later period of the Anshi Rebellion, at that time Qu Huan was a general under Zhao Ziliang, just because the reputation of the official was not obvious, Zhao Ziliang had promoted a group of generals and officers who stayed in the Central Plains before going to Western Qin, Quhuan is one of the generals who has been promoted because of his military exploits.
Qu Huan stood aside and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that this incident had nothing to do with him. During the period when he led the army to follow Zang Xiyan to quell the rebellion, he resolutely obeyed Zang Xiyan's military orders and did not cause Zang Xiyan's dissatisfaction.
Feeling that Zhao Ziliang's stern gaze had been staring at him, Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu suddenly felt like a year, the beads of sweat on their foreheads and vests kept dripping, they were nervous from the moment they came in, and now they felt that they were in the furnace.
After a long time, Zhao Ziliang spoke: "Do you know why this king only let Quhuan get up, but didn't let you get up?" Some people may think that Qu Huan is the old general of this king, yes, Qu Huan did be a general under this king, this is an undeniable fact, but this king asked him to get up and didn't let you get up is definitely not this reason, the specific reason. You two should know it yourself, right? ”
Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu sweated like rain, and kowtowed again and again: "The ministers are guilty!" Confession! ”
"Smack!" Zhao Ziliang slapped the table violently and said angrily: "Guilty? This king sees that you have no idea what sin there is. How old are you this year? Is it still a three-year-old child, a stunned child? If you don't agree with each other, you will draw your sword and face each other, and you will bring a large number of soldiers and horses to prepare for a big fight, you have such a big temper and such a great majesty! According to this king, you are used to being the boss outside, and you think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, right? ”
Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu were trained by Zhao Ziliang to tremble like chaff, Wei Yuanfu is a little better, he was born in the army, is a member of the Wei family, initially served as a white horse captain, and later was respected and promoted by his uncle Wei Zhiqi of the same clan, and successively served as the envoy of the charge branch, the history of Suzhou Thorn, and the observation of the Zhejiang West Road Regiment, although he climbed to a high position by family relations, but this person does have some talents.
Zhang Yi is purely from a civilian official, where can he afford this kind of formation? His father Zhang Qiqiu served as the Shuo Fang Jiedu envoy for two years, is Guo Ziyi's old boss, during the Shuo Fang Jiedu envoy to Guo Ziyi quite take care of and support, Zhao Ziliang led the army back to Western Qin in the later period of the Anshi Rebellion, the imperial court appointed Guo Ziyi as the marshal in order to quell the rebellion, Guo Ziyi on the one hand out of the old boss Zhang Qiqiu repaid, on the other hand, he also admired Zhang Yi's talent, so he was the judge of the marshal's office. Guo Ziyi was jealous and excluded by the eunuchs, was deprived of military power by the emperor several times, and several ups and downs, Zhang Yi was affected, and he was also unlucky or promoted, it can be said that he is Guo Ziyi's hardcore. He had a grudge against Zang Xiyan, he thought that Zang Xiyan had robbed Guo Ziyi of his position as marshal, so he was even more resentful of Zang Xiyan, but he didn't know that Guo Ziyi's choice to return to the field was his choice.
"One is the envoy of the Yongping Army, and the other is the envoy of the Huainan Festival, both of whom are feudal officials, but they do not have the spiritual belief and overall situation of loyalty to the country, and they act like a market horseman! Zhang Yi, who taught you? Is it Zhang Qiqiu? ”
Zhao Ziliang and Zhang Qiqiu can be said to be people of the same era as officials in the court, Zhao Ziliang was born as a military general, and Zhang Qiqiu was born as a civilian official, in terms of qualifications, Zhao Ziliang should be a little older than Zhang Qiqiu, although Zhang Qiqiu is older than him, seniority is not older than age in officialdom.
Zhang Qiqiu, as a civil official, served as a frontier official, which doomed him to lack prestige, and as a literati, he had the common problems of literati. In 750 AD, Zhang Qiqiu was dissatisfied with the soldiers in the army because of the unfair distribution of military rations, and the angry soldiers beat his judges. Afterwards, although the imperial court disposed of the soldiers, it was also dissatisfied with Zhang Qiqiu's improper handling, and was not considered by the court officials that he lacked prestige as a civil official and lacked the ability to command soldiers and horses, so he was transferred to Jiyin Taishou and let An Sishun replace him.
Of course, Zhang Yi didn't want to implicate his father in this matter, so he said: "The king is angry, the minister is confused for a while, and it has nothing to do with his father, and his father is over the age of old, and he has already become a priest and does not ask about the world!" The subordinate officials have been officials outside for a long time, and they have both military and political power, and have developed a bad habit of intersecting and domineering, so that they have made today's mistakes, please ask the king to surrender, and the ministers will never complain! ”
Zhao Ziliang glanced at Zhang Yi deeply, turned his head to look at Wei Yuanfu, and asked, "Wei Yuanfu, what about you?" Your Wei family is a big family and has a family history, haven't you been influenced by your family's family style? You are a child of a family, at the starting line of life, the starting point of your children of a family is naturally higher than that of a poor family, you don't know how to cherish it, and you actually do such a thing, don't you feel ashamed? ”
Wei Yuanfu was sweating profusely: "The minister is guilty, the minister is afraid, please surrender the king!" ”
Zhao Ziliang said to the two of them in a deep voice: "During this time, the two of you don't want to think about reinstatement, this king has recently set up an official training academy, you two go first to learn how to be an official and a minister, reflect on what you have done, and when you graduate from the academy, this king will consider your arrangements!" ”
Zhao Ziliang's treatment of Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu was considered to be light, although these two people made out-of-the-ordinary moves, but after all, they were quite obedient to the imperial court, and there was no attempt to rebel and secession, and they rushed back without hesitation after receiving the edict, Zhao Ziliang still decided to give them a chance, and they couldn't deny their entire lives because they made a little mistake, after all, they had made contributions in the process of containing and pacifying the three towns of Heshuo.
