After Gao Shang said this, he really turned his words to Li Zhongchen: "Now Li Zhongchen is in Zang Xiyan's military camp, whether to kill him or not is a matter of the king's words." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Keeping him can certainly allow him to play a little role, and it can also weaken the determination of other feudal towns to resist the imperial court, but in the long run, not killing him is a kind of damage to the authority of the imperial court, and this damage can be seen, because the generals of the feudal towns will soon find out that the original rebellion can actually not die, and can continue to be officials, and continue to live freely. If they succeed, they can do whatever they want in their territory, and if they fail, they surrender, and sit as they sit, drink tea, and play with women. Once a rebellion cannot be quelled, then other feudal towns will rise up, and when it comes, the place where the imperial decree can reach will become smaller and smaller, and the imperial court will become dead in name! ”

On the first day of December, the court meeting was held in the Taiji Hall.

Zhao Ziliang said to the ministers: "If the Tang Dynasty wants to rejuvenate, there can be no situation where the feudal towns are divided, and there cannot be feudal towns that do not listen to the imperial edict and disobey the imperial court. Any feudal town that divides the claim to be the king and does not submit to the control and dispatch of the imperial court must be severely punished and will not be tolerated, this is a matter of principle and is not negotiable! Otherwise, the authority of the imperial court will be lost forever, and the country will not be a country from now on! If they now take the initiative to surrender their military power, come to the Hajj to meet them, and obey the arrangements of the imperial court, the king can still exempt them from the sins they have committed, but if they wait until the imperial army goes to conquer and suppress, and they want to surrender and submit, the king will not accept it. If the imperial court sends troops, it will not care whether their resistance is resolute or not, in short, it will be wiped out once and for all! Therefore, regarding the disposition of Li Zhongchen and his henchmen, Liang Chongyi's henchmen and their families, and the officials and generals of Dengzhou and Huaixi, this king has finally made a decision after thinking about it for several days! ”

"Punish Li Zhongchen and Liang Chongyi's nine clans, all the men are killed, not one is left, all are executed on the spot, and the criminal department will send people to execute, Dali Temple and Yushitai will send people to supervise and verify the body, in the process of execution, whether it is a law enforcer or a supervisor, whoever makes a mistake or bends the law for personal gain, this king will kill whose head and copy whose home!"

"Confiscate the property of Li Zhongchen, Liang Chongyi and their nine clans, and enrich the treasury! Their daughters can be exempted from the crime, but they must accept the supervision of the local government, they are not allowed to leave their place of residence without authorization, and they are allowed to choose someone to remarry, but the man's family must not be a member of the government, let alone a military general, and must go to the government every five days to report! ”

"Liang Chongyi and Li Zhongchen's henchmen and staff, as well as his henchmen, as long as they do not correct in time in this counterinsurgency battle, will be killed, but only that, their children, families and clansmen are not guilty!"

"Dengzhou and Huaixi officials, generals, county commanders and generals above the rank of generals or not, whether or not they have contributed to the process of counterinsurgency, all come to Chang'an to report on their work, this king will arrange their affairs after seeing them, and they will arrive in Chang'an within a month, escorted by Zang Xiyan, the civil officials will go to the Ministry of Officials to report first, and the generals will go to the Ministry of War to report first, and when they finish reporting, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War will report the situation again, and the king will make arrangements!"

"In addition, Ge Shuyao and the Shenwu Army were transferred back to Chang'an, and after a period of rest, they were reorganized and trained, and the Shence Army was stationed in Huaixi, and the Zhenguo Army was stationed in Dengzhou, which was still controlled by Zang Xiyan. Luo Yuanguang was transferred to serve as the military envoy of Shence, Wei Boyu was appointed as the military envoy of Zhenguo, Zhang Xiancheng was appointed to preside over the reorganization of the Dengzhou Army, Bai Xiuqi was appointed to preside over the reorganization of the Huaixi Army, and the Shence Army and the Zhenguo Army were all reorganized and trained on the spot, eliminating the old and weak, and only the elite soldiers. The specific plan for reorganization and training is carried out with reference to the plan for the reorganization and training of General Chen Xuanli, the chief instructor, and the military department of the military department will send people to assist and supervise, and the Military Discipline Supervision Office of the Regent Palace's government will send people to inspect them. If there is a problem in any link, the king will hold the person in charge of that link responsible! ”

The crown prince Li Shi stood up and arched his hand: "Regent, if even General Zang Xiyan's Shence Army and Zhenguo Army join the ranks of reorganization and training, then the imperial court will not have a mobile army to deal with any possible rebellion!" This palace thinks that it is best to let General Zang Xiyan postpone the reorganization and training, and then let the Shence Army and the Zhenguo Army carry out the reorganization and training after the completion of the training of the various armies in Chang'an! ”

Zhao Ziliang didn't wait for the other courtiers to stand up in support of the prince, he immediately said: "The prince's consideration is not unreasonable, but this king thinks it is not necessary!" It would be a month before the other feudal towns got the news that Liang Chongyi and Li Zhongchen's rebellion had been put down, and even if they wanted to rebel, they would have to be prepared to launch it, which would take some time. By the time they really rebelled, all the armies of the imperial court had already completed their training, so it was time to test whether the soldiers were sharp! ”

Zhao Ziliang said this, and the prince and the ministers of the court naturally didn't want to say anything, otherwise they would be working against the regent, and there would be no good fruit to eat.

After the end of the court meeting, the yamen began to implement a series of decisions of Zhao Ziliang at the court meeting in an orderly manner.

Zhao Ziliang walked out of the Taiji Palace, Xuan Shibai came over and whispered to him: "King, the matter of Xichuan has been clarified, Cui Yang is a member of the Cui family, to be precise, Cui Yuan's person, Cui Yuan was a Sima, Changshi, and Jiedu envoy in Shu County in his early years, and Cui Yang was appointed and promoted by him at that time!" ”

Zhao Ziliang's eyes flashed with coldness, and he asked, "How is Du Yanhong doing in Xichuan?" After Zhang Xiancheng lost to Cui Yang, the imperial court sent Du Jianhong to replace him, two days ago Du Jianhong actually wrote a book for Cui Yang to say good things about him, and asked the court to canonize him as the envoy of the Xichuan Festival! Hey, it's really the sun coming out in the west, and the court sent Du Jianhong to suppress the rebellion, but he was good, but he interceded for him, saying how loyal he was, how brave he was. Do you know why Du Jianhong did this? ”

Xuan 18 said: "The spies in Xichuan have reported this matter, saying that Du Jianhong has not yet begun to ask for Xuan, and Xuanyang sent someone to send a large amount of gold and silver to Du Jianhong, Du Jianhong was greedy for money, and all of them laughed and accepted, so he arrived in Chengdu with the judge Du Ya and others, drank and had fun every day, and appointed all military and political affairs to Xuanyang, and also wrote to the imperial court to recommend Xuanyang as the envoy of the Jiannan Xichuan Festival!" ”

Zhao Ziliang didn't expect Du Jianhong to be so greedy for money, when he was in Beiting, Du Jianhong had stayed in Tingzhou for two years, Zhao Ziliang found that this person was quite ambitious, although Du Jianhong was the prince Li Heng's person at that time, but he did not suppress Du Jianhong, so that Du Jianhong was transferred to Lingzhou because of his high merit.

"Is the news true?"

"This kind of thing, the spies shouldn't report it indiscriminately, right? Besides, Du Jianhong has no hatred with the spies, they can't offend him! ”

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "I can't imagine that after many years, Du Yanhong, who was quite ambitious back then, has also changed!" ”

After sighing, Zhao Ziliang saw that Cui Yuan had not gone far, so he beckoned to the eunuch standing next to him, the eunuch stepped forward, and Zhao Ziliang said to him: "Go and tell Cui Yuan, just say that this king is waiting for him in the regent's palace!" ”

"Yes!"

After Zhao Ziliang finished instructing, he said to Xuan Eighteen: "Let's go, let's go back to the palace!" ”

On the way back, Zhao Ziliang asked, "What is the situation in Huaixi and Dengzhou?" ”

Xuan 18 said: "For the time being, it is quite stable, with Lu Qi sitting in Dengzhou and Liu Daoqian sitting in Caizhou, the officials in both places are vying to curry favor with them, and want to let them say good things for them in the court in terms of future appointments and promotions, and give them generous gifts!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Isn't there anyone who gives gifts to Guo Ziyi and Zang Xiyan?" ”

"Yes, but not much! The officials of Dengzhou and Huaixi are not stupid, they know that Lu Qi and Liu Daoqian were appointed by the king to deal with local affairs, and they have the right to play secrets! And Guo Ziyi and Zang Xiyan are only generals who lead the troops, and they have no right to speak or recommend in the appointment, dismissal, and promotion of officials. The gifts to Zang Xiyan and Guo Ziyi were all generals of the Dengzhou and Huaixi armies! Interestingly, Zang Xiyan directly rejected all the people who gave gifts, and Guo Ziyi accepted the gift, but sent someone to send it to the king, and there was a list of gift givers! ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It's really interesting!" But which of the two do you think did it right? ”

Xuan 18 scratched his cheeks: "What about this······ Wechen can be said to be bad, but Wechen believes that everyone's way of doing things and the means they use are often determined by their character, which must also have different effects! ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled and did not make an evaluation. Summoned a noble order: "Spread the will of the king to Guo Ziyi, and ordered him to stay in Dengzhou for the time being to preside over the reorganization and training of the Dengzhou Army and the Huaixi Army, after the Dengzhou Army and the Huaixi Army completed the reorganization, they were given a new number, and after the reorganization of the Dengzhou Army, the first army of the Tiger Army, and the Huaixi Army were reorganized into the second army of the Tiger Army and the third army of the Tiger Army!" ”

Gao Shang arched his hand and agreed: "Yes! ”

Although Zhao Ziliang can bypass the Ministry of War, some things cannot be bypassed, such as logistics and the appointment and removal of middle and low-level officers need the cooperation and filing of the Ministry of War, so Gao Shang also needs to go to the Ministry of War to communicate with the officers of the Ministry of War, so he immediately left to go to the Ministry of War.

Not long after sitting in the hall of the palace to review the recital, Xuan Jiu came in and reported: "King, Shangshu's right servant shoots Cui Yuan and asks to see him!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Bring him in!" ”

Soon, Cui Yuan, who was in his sixties, walked in and bowed to Zhao Ziliang: "The old minister greets the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said while reviewing the chapters: "Master Cui, please take a seat!" ”

"Thank you, King!"
