Li Linfu returned to the Xiangguo Mansion in Pingkangfang with a gloomy face, and his two eagle dogs, the cool officials, the Jingzhao Mansion Shishi Cao Jiwen and the Imperial Shitai Master Bo Luo Xizao, both went out to greet him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ji Wen is the son of the ancient prime minister Ji Zuo, Xuanzong began to dislike him, but appointed him as a new Fengcheng, Ji Wen was unwilling to stay in a small county town, so he took refuge in Li Linfu with his father Ji Zuo and Li Linfu is an old friend, and served as the Jingzhao Mansion Shicao, and Luo Xixiao is the nephew of Zhang Boji, Zhang Boji is Li Linfu's confidant, he introduced Luo Xixiao to Li Linfu, Li Linfu saw that the two of them were cruel and weird, good at torture to extract confessions, so they left the two by his side as doglegs.

Ji Wen greeted him and bowed and saluted, "Xiangye is back?" How's it going? ”

Luo Xixiao also asked impatiently: "Yes, Xiangye, did Your Majesty order to dismiss Zhao Ziliang?" ”

Li Linfu's face was ugly, and he waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go in!" ”

"No!" The two glanced at each other, and agreed to follow Li Linfu to Xiangguo Mansion.

When he came to the lobby, after waiting for the maid to serve tea, Ji Wen saw Li Linfu's face was ugly, and guessed that this matter was only afraid that it would not go well, otherwise Li Linfu's face would not be so ugly, so he asked: "Xiangye, didn't Your Majesty order to punish Zhao Ziliang?" ”

Li Linfu's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water, he gritted his teeth and said: "The old man made a big mistake, ignoring the relationship between Zhao Ziliang and the noble concubine Niangniang, the lady seems to be very dissatisfied with the old man, and wants to protect Zhao Ziliang to the death, this pillow wind blows His Majesty has been dizzy, not only did not cure Zhao Ziliang's crime, but also gave him an official and a knight, and now he has been canonized as the Marquis of Zhenbei, the general of Zhongwu, and the commander of Hedong Governor and Commander of the Governor of the Shan Yu Mansion!" ”

"Zhenbei Hou? This ······ How so? Luo Xizao couldn't help but scream, and glanced at Jiwen after screaming, both of them were extremely shocked.

If it is a general marquis with a place name, this is nothing, at most it is more food, but the marquis of Zhenbei Marquis can open a mansion, not only can appoint the long history of the Hou Mansion and the main body, but also can form a small guard, there can be a general, as long as the title is not cut off, even if the official position is low or there is no official position at all, the court has to pay to support all the officials of the Hou Mansion, but the marquis with this title must sit in the north, otherwise this title is meaningless.

Li Linfu thought about it, his face fell, and after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Ziliang did not have anyone attached to him in the court, and as a border general, he could not participate in the decision-making of major affairs in the court, so there was no threat to his Li Linfu's status in the court at all, since he couldn't move him for the time being, let him stay in Mobei.

After thinking about this clearly, Li Linfu sighed: "Forget it, there is a noble concubine to protect him, it seems that we can't help this kid surnamed Zhao for the time being, let him go for the time being, but we still have to keep an eye on him, as long as he is negligent, immediately collect human and physical evidence and report to the prime minister, and then whether to do anything to him to see the situation!" ”

Jiwen and Luo Xizao also knew that this matter could not be done for the time being, so they could only give up their hands and promise: "Don't worry, Xiangye, we will always send someone to keep an eye on him!" ”

Li Linfu thought for a while, and said: "Now there are many people in the court who are against the prime minister and unwilling to bow to the prime minister, the biggest is of course the prince's family, among which the emperor Fu Weiming and Wei Jian are the prince's right-hand men, and Wang Zhonghei has a very good relationship with the prince, and there are several of them who support the prince, and the old man is a little powerless to fight against the prince, and he must find a way to take out the prince's right-hand man, which is one of them; Second, Yang Shenjin, the old dog, kept staring at the old man, jumping up and down to contact some officials to impeach the old man, and make the old man unhappy; Third, Wang Gong has never taken the old man in his eyes, and often says bad things about the old man in front of His Majesty. Among these three groups, the least powerful is of course Yang Shenjin, let's take this person first, the Wang family is deeply favored by His Majesty, and the Taiyuan Wang family is behind him, he can't be easily moved, the prince's side seems to be strong, but it is not too difficult to eradicate his right-hand man······".

Ji Wen immediately said: "According to Xiangye's deployment, we should move Yang Shenjin first, then use the prince's right-hand man to eradicate it, and finally find a way to deal with the Wang family?" ”

Li Linfu nodded, "Yes, the old man means to follow this deployment, but it is not absolute, it depends on the actual situation!" You use all your strength to find the tricks and incriminating evidence of these people, and tell the old man as soon as you have the news! ”

"Xiangye, don't worry, do other things, the two of us may not be able to, but I am the best at pulling people's pigtails!"

·······

In February of the fifth year of Tianbao (476 AD), Mobei, Zhenbei City.

Just after the first lunar month, Zhao Ziliang organized soldiers and horses to practice on the grassland outside the city, a neat infantry phalanx made an attack and defense action under Zhao Ziliang's shouting, each infantry held a large shield and a spear, carrying bows and arrows and quivers behind their backs, and the cavalry also practiced horsemanship, cavalry archery, cavalry skills and tactical coordination under the command of Brehan, Gao Xiuyan and Zhang Shouyu.

Since the end of last year after the elimination of the Xi and Khitans, Zhao Ziliang wrote a letter to Tian Renwan, the envoy of the Hedong Festival, to discuss the transfer of another 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry from Hedong, Tian Renwan fell ill at the end of last year, and he was not lightly ill, he could not be a director, after reading the official document sent by Zhao Ziliang, he asked his subordinate officials to cooperate, and a few days after the New Year, 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry finally arrived in Zhenbei City after a long journey of more than a month.

The army was in full swing, a fast horse galloped from afar, the knight galloped to the edge of the training ground and stopped, and then quickly ran up to the point platform, shouting as he ran: "Report-".

Zhao Ziliang turned his head and glanced at it, and shouted at the five thousand infantry in the audience: "Stop!" Rest in place! ”

When the soldiers heard this, they put down their shields and spears, sat cross-legged on the grass and began to rest.

The knight who reported the news ran to Zhao Ziliang and bowed down before his death and said: "General Qiyu, the Holy Lord has sent a lieutenant envoy to announce the decree, and the men and horses have arrived at the foot of Snow Wolf Mountain."

Snow Wolf Mountain is only thirty miles away, and the eunuchs who announced the decree will soon arrive, Zhao Ziliang did not expect that there would be eunuchs to announce the decree at this time, according to calculations, this eunuch group should have set off before the year, does the imperial court have any new will?

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and couldn't think of a reason, so he sent someone to find Zhang Shouyu and instructed: "Your Majesty sent the envoy to announce the decree, you take someone to pick it up, and you will be here to prepare the decree!" ”

"No!" Zhang Shouyu agreed, and took fifty horsemen to greet him.

Although he had to prepare for the ceremony of welcoming the emperor's envoys, the drill of soldiers and horses could not be stopped, Zhao Ziliang arranged for Guo Ziyi to replace him to continue to train soldiers and horses, and he himself sent people to prepare tables and incense candles, and sent people to find generals and colonels above the rank of lieutenant in the army to prepare to receive orders.

An hour later, the envoy sent by the emperor took a carriage to the outside of Zhenbei City, and Zhao Ziliang took the main generals and colonels of the army to greet him.

When the carriage stopped, a middle-aged eunuch stepped out of the carriage with the support of two little eunuchs, and Zhao Ziliang, who was sitting on horseback, saw that the middle-aged eunuch turned out to be Yu Chaoen, who was also announced to him and Huangfu Weiming as a lieutenant envoy when he broke Tubo in the West Sea a few years ago.

"Oh? I didn't expect it to be a fish-sama! Zhao Ziliang said and turned over and got off the horse, smiling to meet him. He himself doesn't like to deal with eunuchs very much, but it's not easy for people to come all the way, and there's no need to offend a eunuch.

Yu Chaoen listened to Zhao Ziliang's words, and hurriedly tidied up his clothes and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "Don't dare to be General Zhao to call adults, the slave is an errand runner next to Your Majesty!" The last time I met the general was in Xihai County, but now I am in this bitter cold place in the north of the desert, which is really impermanent. The general is now more and more powerful and majestic, and the slave is really happy for the general! ”

"Hahaha······" Zhao Ziliang laughed and asked with a smile: "Father-in-law, shouldn't it be bad news again this time?" ”

Yu Chaoen hurriedly shook his head and said: "That can't be, the general broke the Xi people and the Khitan, Yaowu Mobei, so that my Tang Dynasty has thousands of miles of land, Your Majesty heard about it, and after hearing about it, Long Yan was happy, and happily accepted the cattle, sheep and horses sent by the general, didn't this send slaves and maids to come over to announce the decree!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, and arched his hand: "Father-in-law has been working hard all the way!" A certain person has already sent someone to prepare a residence and a banquet in the city, father-in-law, do you think he will announce the decree first or go to the banquet first? ”

Yu Chaoen saw that next to it was the place where the army was training, and the incense case had been placed on the stage, so he said: "Since the incense case is ready, let's announce the decree first!" ”

"That's okay, father-in-law, please!"

The group came to the Dianjiangtai, and the thousands of soldiers and horses below had stopped practicing under the command of Guo Ziyi, Gao Xiuyan and others, and they were in a dense formation and approached the Dianjiangtai.

Yu Chaoen watched the general give orders while walking, the soldiers moved in unison, the military power was impressive, and a killing aura came to his face, this military power and killing aura made Yu Chaoen's legs a little weak, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

Yu Chaoen held the holy decree in both hands and the other two little eunuchs to salute in front of the incense case, and then turned to face Zhao Ziliang and other generals and all the generals in the stage, and said loudly: "Under the holy decree, the soldiers and horses of the left wing of Hedong and the military envoy of Datong will receive the order!" ”

"Minister Zhao Ziliang takes the order!" Zhao Ziliang replied and bowed down with all the soldiers.

As Yu Chaoen finished reciting the holy decree, Zhao Ziliang shouted to thank the lord Longen, in fact, he got the news as early as the third day of the first month, but he didn't publicize it, except for Zhao Ziliang, other meritorious generals and schools also had rewards.

After the announcement was over, Zhao Ziliang took Yu Chaoen to the city for a banquet, a good meal of wine and meat was served, Yu Chaoen ate with a mouth full of oil, satisfied, Zhao Ziliang did not let him run in vain, and sent him some gold and silver, which made him very happy.
