Zhao Ziliang knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to stay in Xinjing for the New Year, so he took advantage of the days when he was preparing to go on the expedition to get together with the concubines and princesses for a few days, and after leaving Xinjing, he met Yang Yuhuan on the side of the road to deliver a letter.

Zhao Ziliang stopped his horse, and then the Long Guards went first, and several personal guards stood in the distance on horseback to prevent outsiders from approaching.

Jumping off the horse, Zhao Ziliang walked over to Yang Yuhuan, Yang Yuhuan, who is already fifty years old, has a good environmental protection, and looks like she is only in her thirties, almost no age, she is still the same, wearing a snow-white robe, with a crown on her head, her hands are whisking, and her full chest is bulging.

Yang Yuhuan came up and looked at Zhao Ziliang's war horse and asked, "Why did you change horses?" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Although the black horse is a peerless horse, it is also old, it has long since retired, and it is estimated that there are not a few years to live, this horse is its grandson, called Huofeng, and its speed and endurance are a few points stronger than that of the black horse!" ”

"What a good horse!" Yang Yuhuan touched Huofeng's head and put his face over to be intimate with it.

Zhao Ziliang said: "It's cold today, you shouldn't come out, I'll be back in a few months!" ”

Yang Yuhuan said: "I have stayed in the Taoist temple for a long time, I haven't come out for a walk for too long, I almost don't know the road when I come out, the changes in Xinjing are too great, and the appearance is different every day, this is the so-called great governance of the world, the rise of peace in the four seas, the strength of the country and the wealth of the people, and the peace of the country and the people, right?" Ziliang, it's not easy for you to do this step, since ancient times, few emperors have been able to do this, you succeeded! ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at the scene in front of him, exhaled a breath of white air and said, "It's barely a peaceful and prosperous world!" But governing the country is also like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, even if the whole country is governed no matter how prosperous and strong it is, you can't slack off at all, and there is still a crisis behind the strength and prosperity! I am just a human being, not a god, and even God cannot solve all human suffering! I am different from other kings in that they like to be happy after they have achieved fame, they like to lie on the books of past merits and be complacent, they are greedy for being served, they enjoy good food, they enjoy comfort and beauty, they enjoy all the comforts and conveniences that power brings, and although I am also enjoying it, my enjoyment lies in the process of creating this powerful nation, not in material and sensual pleasures! The country is strong, the people are rich, the people are confident, I look at these is a kind of satisfaction, this is a spiritual enjoyment, even if I eat bran every day! ”

Yang Yuhuan walked in, stretched out his hand and stroked Zhao Ziliang's cheek, "You are so different, you seem to be incompatible with this dynasty, but the world needs a king like you, the country has become strong because of you, and the people have become rich and confident because of you!" We will no longer suffer from war, we will no longer be displaced, our generation knows how traumatic the war has brought to the country, you have created a strong country, created a new era, let hundreds of people unite in this country, like a family, you are an amazing man! ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled and sighed: "I can't do it for a few years, when I reach the age of sixty, I will abdicate and make way for Xian, this world is the world of young people after all, it is better to let young people grow up and get experience as soon as possible!" ”

"Really want to abdicate? Are you willing to delegate power? ”

"I am reluctant to let go, the rights must be stable and excessive, the political situation must remain stable, the country will not be chaotic, even if I abdicate, if there is something I think needs to come forward, I can still manage it, but the rules must be set, and there are no rules!"

Zhao Ziliang stopped the topic and held Yang Yuhuan's somewhat cold hand, "Forget it, don't talk about this, I think this war is not long, I wanted to take you to meet the world-famous Jerusalem, which is the intersection of many civilizations, and accommodates a variety of exotic customs at the same time, but now it is winter, I am afraid that your body will not be able to eat, and the summer weather is too hot, and the distance is too far, Persia and other places are not very peaceful, and when I take Canaan and Syria, I plan to build a castle there as a courtyard, and when I am old, Every once in a while, I will go there to care for the elderly, and when the time comes, I will take you all over! ”

Yang Yuhuan smiled: "That's good!" ”

The two looked at each other, and Zhao Ziliang said calmly: "I'm leaving!" ”

Yang Yuhuan said: "It must be good!" ”

Zhao Ziliang turned around and threw off his cloak and stepped onto the war horse, then turned his head to look at Yang Yuhuan, shook the reins, and shouted: "Drive-"

Zhao Ziliang's figure disappeared for a long time, and Yang Yuhuan reluctantly turned around and walked into the carriage on the side of the road.

On November 22, Zhao Ziliang and 500 accompanying Long Guards arrived at Jiling City, where they rested.

The next day, Zhao Ziliang and Zhao Lei, father and son, met in Jiling City, and Zhao Lei rushed back non-stop after receiving the edict, and the speed was still very fast.

"The child greets his father!" Zhao Lei saluted after seeing Zhao Ziliang in the official office of Jiling City.

Zhao Ziliang said: "Get up, when did you set off after receiving the edict?" ”

Zhao Lei said: "It was the thirteenth day to receive the edict, and the child set off on the fourteenth!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, "What's the situation over there?" ”

Zhao Lei said: "The remnants of the Abbasid dynasty are busy suppressing rebellions in various places, and they have no time to look east, and the white food of the Umayyad dynasty in Iberia is also about to move, the white food and the black food are incompatible, and now the black food is down, and it has withdrawn to North Africa like a lost dog, which is also a very big threat to the remnants of the Umayyad dynasty, it is said that the emir of the Iberian Peninsula, Abdul Rahman, is sharpening his knife and preparing to cross the sea to attack the Mahdi, But I don't think he has enough strength and energy to deal with Mahdi! ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang smiled and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Zhao Lei said: "It is said that the king of the Frankish kingdom, Charman, is attacking everywhere and expanding his territory, a few years ago, the Lombard Kingdom in the north of the Papal States and a large area of land in the north of the Saxons were captured by him, and now he is eyeing the Iberian Peninsula, King Charman and Emir Rahman are both strongmen, and the two strongmen will face off, there must be a good show to watch!" ”

"So which of them do you think will win?"

Zhao Lei said: "This is not easy to say, after all, the big cannibal has ruled in the Iberian Peninsula for nearly a hundred years, the big cannibal has long taken root there, many people in the local area are believers in Allah, Rahman has ruled the Iberian Peninsula for more than twenty years, the rule has been stabilized, although he is unable to go north, but it is not easy for Charman to gnaw a piece of meat on him, maybe he will break his big teeth!" ”

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin, nodded, affirmed Zhao Lei's analysis, and asked, "How are the men and horses preparing to go on the expedition?" ”

Zhao Lei said: "This son-in-law is not clear, the son-in-law has issued a military order, and he will set off the next day, I think that after receiving the military order, the various ministries should soon rush to Baghdad to assemble, and my father doesn't have to worry!" ”

Zhao Ziliang changed the topic, "This time you go back to Xinjing, your main responsibility is to supervise the country, what is the prison country, do you know?" ”

Zhao Lei was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he asked, "Please also ask my father to make it clear!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Your age is not young, you also have to learn to deal with state affairs, I am old, I will abdicate in a few years, this throne will let you sit sooner or later, this time you will be transferred back to Xinjing, is to let you learn to deal with state affairs by yourself, whether the central departments of the royal court are operating normally, this is what you need to supervise, the ministries and all over the palace also need you to review, if you can't make a decision, you can stay in the middle for the time being, send someone to me, The review of the chapter in the palace has some of the templates that I have instructed, you can follow the format, some of the chapters need to be clearly instructed, the meaning can not be ambiguous, and some of the chapters can not be clearly stated, to let the following people understand themselves, these I can only roughly hand over the method to you, and you also need to think about it yourself, dealing with military and political affairs is not an easy job, you must know that a wrong decision of yours may cause heavy losses, so you must be cautious, not hasty and reckless! ”

Zhao Lei had a bitter face and said: "Father, hearing you say this, I already feel that I am burdened with a thousand catties of burden before I officially deal with national affairs, and my heart is heavy, just like you said, this may not be an easy job!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was a little unhappy, "I'm afraid you'll be a grandfather in a few years, why haven't you grown up?" For you to sit in this position, you must have the courage to take responsibility and be mentally prepared to face all difficulties. Of course, if you don't want to inherit the throne, your father will not force you, although the law clearly stipulates that you are the first heir, but you can also give up the throne if you voluntarily! It's just that the father hopes that you brothers can't hurt the harmony because of the fight for the throne, the right has been the most attractive thing since ancient times, fathers and sons, brothers turn against each other, cannibalism abounds, the reason why the father wants to legislate to stipulate the way of succession to the throne, is to try to avoid the country because of the competition for the throne and let the country hurt the vitality, only unity can calmly face all difficulties, this country is a whole, you are all attached to this country, the skin does not have hair will be attached? You are the eldest brother, act with the temperament of the eldest brother, your younger brother Zhao Ting is actually not inferior to you in talent, his strengths are in the military aspect, he is a good military commander, but in the political Shanghai is lacking, over the years for the father has been trying to find a way to let him do more government affairs, although he is doing well, but in the overall planning and coordination of the ability to be a little worse, this is not through hard work can be done, this requires talent, and as the supreme ruler of the kingdom, the most important thing is not the ability to march and fight, Rather, you have a strategic vision of the overall situation and the ability to coordinate the overall situation, and you must be able to properly handle the relationship between the monarch and the courtiers, and you have done a good job in this regard! ”

Zhao Lei was affirmed by Zhao Ziliang, and happily hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your father's affirmation!"
