Chapter 1097: The Emperor's Purpose

In order to make this major disarmament proceed smoothly and end perfectly, Zhao Ziliang and the ministers of the imperial court have tried many ways to resettle these dismantled soldiers, officers, and generals and colonels, and strive to achieve a perfect conclusion, and the relevant yamen of the imperial court and local government have also done a lot of publicity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before the Anshi Rebellion began, the population of the Tang Dynasty was close to 50 million, during the Anshi Rebellion, in order to escape the war and famine, many people fled to the Western Qin, the number of people who went to the Western Qin was about 18 million, and now the population of the Tang Dynasty is still 22 million, that is to say, during the Anshi Rebellion, the number of people who died due to war, famine and disasters was close to 10 million, this number of deaths was too terrifying, which caused the phenomenon of white bones everywhere.

If the disarmament is successful, 700,000 men will join the production and labor, which will undoubtedly be an extremely beneficial new force for the production and construction of the entire Tang Dynasty, and their return to society can improve the problem of serious shortage of production labor. Therefore, Zhao Ziliang and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the officials of various local governments, are quite expectant and concerned about this disarmament.

From time to time, the progress of disarmament in various localities came to Chang'an, and Zhao Ziliang heard the courtiers report to him every day on the latest progress of disarmament in various localities.

On the morning of the third day of November, Zhao Ziliang had just sent away the lieutenant Guo Ziyi, and Du Fu walked over with a serious expression and said: "King, the Jinyi Wei commanded the Huangfu Xian to send the news through the flying pigeon, the secretary and supervisor Gao Shi died of illness half a month ago, and the Prime Minister of the Government Council Cen Shen was also seriously ill and could no longer be a director. And ??????"

Zhao Ziliang's eyes froze, "Say!" ”

"Yes!" Du Fu bowed over, "And the news came from Wang Can, the governor of Dongchang, that the Great Food Kingdom had pacified the civil strife and attacked the Eastern Roman Empire on a large scale, the attack was rapid and progressing smoothly, and the Eastern Roman Empire was defeated and retreated, not only lost the land of the Great Food Country that had been invaded before, but was also beaten back to Anatolia." On the one hand, the Caliph of the Great Food Kingdom ordered the generals in front to storm the Eastern Roman Empire, and on the other hand, sent missionaries into our territory to spread the doctrine and carry out infiltration, and used the missionary opportunity to draw a topographic map of our country's mountains, rivers and transportation arteries. And after the defeat of the Boslavan faction that we supported, Kulkure fled again into the flower thorn Zim! ”

Zhao Ziliang was moved and asked, "What about Salad from the Sinbad faction?" This guy is much stronger than Kulkure, I remember that his army had occupied the whole of Syria the year before last, and the Eastern Roman Empire was on the side to contain the Great Food Country, he shouldn't have been wiped out so quickly! ”

Du Fu nodded: "Salad was captured after the defeat and then sent to Baghdad, and Mansur quickly sent him to the guillotine. The king was right when he said that the power of Iszarad should not have been destroyed so quickly, and Mansur was a king of great political ability, and he sent people to contact the Western Church and reached an agreement, he allowed the Western Church to preach in the territory of the Great Food Country, and the Church helped him to incite a rebellion among the barbarians in Thrace. The king should know that Constantine V's position on the worship of icons against the church was also ordered to destroy a large number of icons in the Eastern Roman Empire, arrest and slaughter a large number of church priests, which was hated by the church and was unpopular, so the church decisively reached an agreement with Mansour, and the barbarians in Thrace were soon instigated by the church, and the fire in the backyard of the Eastern Roman Empire made Constantine V have to draw a large number of troops from the front line to the Thrace region to quell the rebellion, so the containment of the Great Food Country was weakened, Self-protection is still insufficient, how can the Eastern Roman Empire have the surplus troops to go to trouble the Great Food Country? Mansour took advantage of the Eastern Roman Empire's transfer of troops back to quell the rebellion, and concentrated a large number of troops to defeat Salad in one fell swoop. After Salad's forces were eradicated, Mansur quickly swung his army east to attack the Boslavan faction, and Kurkure, like Salad, these two guys were stubborn and self-serving, and they would not have been defeated so quickly and so badly if they had followed the advice of the personnel we had sent! Now, the Eastern Frontier Cavalry of the Great Food Country often sneaks into the territory of Khorkure to sneak up on Kulkure's men, although King Khan has strengthened the border patrol, but the border line is too long, it is really impossible to prevent it! ”

"Sure enough, something is in people, and it's in God!" Zhao Ziliang sighed, "It seems ?????? This king must go back to Western Qin! ”

Since the beginning of the expedition to Tibet, Zhao Ziliang has not returned to Western Qin for more than three years, although he has been remotely controlling the court situation of Western Qin, so that the court situation of Western Qin has been spent in a stable manner in the past two years, but Chang'an and Xinjing are too far away after all, if it is in the electrification era of later generations, even if it is far away, it is not a problem, he can always be in a different place to control the direction of the court, but in this era when the traffic is basically relied on, this distance can make any wise and wise king helpless, At this time, Zhao Ziliang understood the distress of the empire's territory being too large.

At this time, Xuan Jiu walked in from the outside and hugged his fists and said, "King, the emperor sent someone to see the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was a little puzzled, the emperor had nothing to do in the past year, and basically rarely sent people to attack him to speak, what was the so-called matter this time? He came to the inner palace of Daming Palace with questions.

"Meet the King!"

Li Yu hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to stop Zhao Ziliang from bowing, and said, "Uncle, don't be polite, let's sit down and talk!" ”

After the two sides sat down, Li Yu said: "I know that my uncle is busy with state affairs, so Zhen Zhen made a long story short, two things, one wants to discuss with my uncle, and the other wants to ask my uncle for help." That's the case, my uncle should know that when I was not the emperor, there was a concubine Shen by my side, he was Shi'er's biological mother, and I was also my first woman, she was a rare virtuous and beautiful woman, my favorite in this life was her, if it wasn't for the emperor's grandfather to obstruct her, I wouldn't have let her stay in Luoyang at all, I would have taken her back a long time ago, and she wouldn't have been taken away by the rebels again and her whereabouts are unknown. Don't hide it from my uncle, although I have Dugu and other concubines around me over the years, but the Shen family has always had the most important position in my heart, since these days, I miss her more and more, I want to ask my uncle to order to help find the Shen family, let her return to my side, I want to canonize her as Queen Ruizhen! ”

After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and asked: "Your Majesty, from the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion to the present, a total of 18 million people from the Central Plains have moved to Western Qin, and nearly 10 million people have died in wars, natural disasters, hunger and severe cold during this period. The minister can send someone to search for it, but has Your Majesty ever considered the feelings of Dugu Guifei? There are so many concubines in the palace who are not as good as one Shen family? Concubine Dugu has been by His Majesty's side from beginning to end, sharing wealth and hardship, and His Majesty has still not canonized her as the queen! Also, if Shen is found, but she has remarried, what will the person who was sent to do? ”

"I ?????? I am indeed ashamed of the Dugu clan" Li Yu said with a trace of shame on his face, and slowly lowered his head, but he quickly raised his head again and said: "I can canonize the Dugu clan as Empress Zhenyi, but I also ask my uncle to send someone to find the whereabouts of the Shen family, find her, and bring her to my side, if ?????? If she's married, if she wants to come, bring her, if she doesn't want to, forget it, tell her about the right thing, okay? ”

Zhao Ziliang sighed secretly, and arched his hand: "Weichen obeys the order, and after he goes back, the minister will issue an edict to appoint a special person to find out the whereabouts of the Shen family!" There is one more thing, Your Majesty, please say! ”

Li Yu sighed: "Shi'er has been dead for more than a year, and I feel that my health is getting worse and worse, I am afraid that I will die soon, during this time I have been considering the candidate for the prince, and today I brought my uncle here mainly for this matter, I want to hear my uncle's thoughts!" ”

Zhao Ziliang didn't expect that Li Yu's main purpose for bringing him in was to establish the prince, and now the power of the royal family has been suppressed to the weakest situation in history, in fact, for Li Yu, it doesn't matter whether he establishes the prince or not, he, the emperor, has no rights, and the prince can't have rights.

Zhao Ziliang remembered that the political situation in Western Qin showed signs of instability, and the big food country was starting to provoke, he didn't return to Xinjing, he had to arrange this side before leaving, he was not afraid of Li Yu ****, what he was worried about was that Li Yu **** was fooling around again, ruining his efforts for several years, the Tang Dynasty finally pacified the civil strife and cut off the feudal town, this is the time to vigorously rebuild and develop the economy, if you mess around again, then this dynasty is really hopeless.

To tell the truth, Li Yu is a person who values love and righteousness, but this person has no courage, acts indecisively, is easily deceived by slanderers, does not have the quality of an emperor, and his personality is not suitable for being an emperor, if he is more wise or stupid, Zhao Ziliang is more relieved, because he is not easy to be swayed by ministers if he is wise, and if he is stupid, he is a natural puppet, and Zhao Ziliang can leave with confidence. An emperor like Li Yu who is not wise or stupid, but is unwilling to lose power, always thinks about ****, and has no ability, Zhao Ziliang really doesn't dare to return power to him.

"The matter of establishing the prince is very important, involving all aspects, not only to examine the prince's morality, intelligence, ability, and temperament, but also to consider the impact of the prince's candidate on the court situation, whether the courtiers and the people of the world support him, these are very important, and the ministers need to discuss with the ministers!"
