On October 30, Zhao Ziliang was preparing for tomorrow's court, and Xuan Shibai rushed over to report: "King, the news that the imperial court sent Zang Xiyan to lead the Shence army and the Zhenguo army to Xiangyang has leaked, and Li Zhongchen seems to have gotten the news, on the one hand, he has strengthened the offensive against Xiangyang, and on the other hand, he has dispatched a group of soldiers and horses to rest and change his equipment, and it seems that he is waiting for the army sent by the imperial court!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was not surprised by the leakage of the news, as long as there were people in the court who colluded with the feudal town, the news could not be hidden, but now was not the time to clean up those moles. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Ziliang asked, "How is Guo Ziyi?" Arrived in Dengzhou? ”

He didn't have many entourage, and he rushed to Dengzhou in only seven days, Liang Chongyi was still face-saving and met him, but he didn't know how to send troops to the south, and he seemed to be bargaining with Guo Ziyi! Guo Ziyi's book is afraid that it will arrive soon! ”

As soon as Xuan Shiba's words were finished, Du Fu walked in with an urgent official document and said, "King Guo Ziyi has sent a letter!" ”

Zhao Ziliang didn't look at it either, and asked, "What did he say?" ”

Guo Ziyi said in the letter that Liang Chongyi was mean and unkind, forgot his righteousness, insatiable, vicious, and cunning, and it was impossible to influence him with righteousness, and the only way to let him send troops was to promise heavy profits! Liang Chongyi himself proposed that if the imperial court could appoint him as the envoy of Jingxiang Festival, with jurisdiction over seven prefectures, including Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Xiangzhou, Guizhou, Suizhou, Xiazhou, and Jingzhou, he would agree to send troops! ”

Zhao Ziliang couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Hahaha······ This person is really funny, and the lion is not afraid to flash his tongue when he opens his mouth! Go and notify Gao Shang, Li Mi, Li Xian, Li Kui and others to come over to discuss matters! ”

"No!"

Soon, several people who got the notice quickly came, Zhao Ziliang asked Du Fu and Xuan Shibai to report the situation to everyone respectively, and after the two were introduced, Zhao Ziliang asked: "The situation is like this, this king is a little undecided, how to deal with Li Zhongchen at this time?" If we can't even take Li Zhongchen down, then I'm afraid that the king will have to return to Western Qin! ”

Li Mi was also not modest, and stood up and arched his hand: "King, since the news has leaked, and Li Zhongchen is on guard, and is preparing to attack our reinforcements, then we must immediately send a fast horse to report this matter to Zang Xiyan, so that he can be more careful on the march, and don't fall into Li Zhongzhong's trap!" At the same time, if you don't raise a new Jiedu envoy, the only way is to continue to work Liang Chongyi, the lower officials don't think that the interior of Liang Chongyi's ministry is monolithic, how can Liang Chongyi's person He De be able to collect the soldiers and horses left by Laiyao, it is nothing more than under the guise of avenging Laiyao, and the imperial court must find a way to divide and disintegrate them! ”

Gao Shang stood up at this time and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Lord Li's words reminded Weichen of the last time, didn't the king say that he would rehabilitate some ministers and generals who had been wronged in the past? If the imperial court can rehabilitate Lai Yao, and then send a capable person to Dengzhou with the will to rehabilitate Zhaoxue, will the former generals of Lai Yao be indifferent, and besides, Lai Yao was a subordinate of the king back then, and his subordinates are not familiar with the king? If they knew that the king was now presiding over the government, would they still follow Liang Chongyi to continue to disobey the court's dispatch? ”

Zhao Ziliang listened to the noble words and immediately stood up: "Du Fu, immediately draft a list of rehabilitated Zhaoxue, and this king will first take it over and discuss it with the emperor before issuing an edict to announce it to the world!" ”

"Yes, King!" Du Fu agreed and immediately began to proceed.

In the afternoon of the same day, after Zhao Ziliang returned from the palace, he immediately issued an edict in the name of the regent to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for Wang Zhonghei, Huangfu Weiming, Lai Yao and others.

Zhao Ziliang was a little unsure of who to send to Dengzhou with the edict of rehabilitating Zhaoxue to divide and disintegrate Liang Chongyi's department, and the officials he brought from Western Qin all had important functions and could not leave easily, so Zhao Ziliang specially convened his staff officials to discuss.

After hearing Zhao Ziliang's embarrassment on this matter, the officials said noblely: "Your Majesty, Lord Li Yu is familiar with the officials of the imperial court, and he should be able to recommend a suitable candidate!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Li Mi and asked, "Li joins the army, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

Li Mi pondered for a moment and arched his hand: "Lingnan Jiedu made Li Mian return to Beijing two months ago to report on his work, and he has not left without getting the will, it stands to reason that he should be a suitable candidate, because he is a clan, but this person is loyal and upright, and it is not suitable for this errand, and there is another candidate, that is, Lu Qi, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, this person is sleek and cunning, flexible and vicious, very good at drilling, and this errand is the most suitable, but he is a member of the eunuch party, and his grade is too low, and this kind of person is difficult to control, If such people are allowed to sit in high positions, it is easy to cause chaos and confuse the king! If the king uses it, he needs to be cautious! ”

Zhao Ziliang heard the words and said: "Everyone has their own role and a suitable position, let a person stay in the right position can give full play to his talents, no matter which party Lu Qi is, as long as he can do things, how to control him is the king's business, this matter does not need to be discussed anymore, it is good for Lu Qi!" Du Fu, you send someone to inform Lu Qi and ask him to come over! ”

"Yes!"

Lu Qi was transferred back to Chang'an from the envoy in Xinjing only two months ago, and he has been running away from Honglu Temple during this time, just because Honglu Temple, the Qingshui Yamen, is too idle, and there is no oil and water, and life is miserable, and continuing to stay in Honglu Temple can only be mixed and wait for death.

Lu Qi didn't expect that the Regent Mansion would send someone to look for him, and after receiving the notice, he was a little excited, and at the same time a little uneasy, because there were only two results when he was called by the Regent Palace, one was a good thing and the other was a bad thing.

"Weichen Lu Qi meets the king, Chitose, Chitose!" Lu Qi gave a big gift to Zhao Ziliang, and the etiquette was extremely thoughtful, and the actions were done very well, he was a person who was good at drilling camps, and he liked to figure out and guess the thoughts of the superiors, if it weren't for the fact that he was implicated in the matter of the servant Gu Huaien, he was now afraid that he would not only do the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

Zhao Ziliang saw Lu Qi's performance, and sighed in his heart: "No wonder in the history of another time and space, Lu Qi was able to be the prime minister and lean towards the government and the opposition, as far as his ability to drill camps and figure out the thoughts of the superior is not comparable to ordinary people!" ”

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and smiled: "Lu Shaoqing, please get up!" ”

Lu Qi got up and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be the king's request, the king has something to order, and the ministers will go to the soup to fight the fire!" ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled and asked, "Lord Lu, how are you doing in Honglu Temple?" Is it wishful?"

Lu Qixin said that of course he was not satisfied, but he said: "Let the king bother, the ministers are doing a good job in Honglu Temple, and the ministers of his colleagues are also very careful, no matter which yamen they are in, as long as they do things for the court, the ministers will fulfill their duties!" ”

"That's a good thing to say! Lord Lu, if every civil and military general in the imperial court could tell you this, the imperial court would not be in such an eventful situation as it is now! ”

Lu Qi was overjoyed in his heart, "Thank you for the king's praise, the little minister is ashamed!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked again: "Master Lu, what do you say you are being an official for?" Why do so many people like to be officials? ”

Although this question is simple, it is not easy to answer, and it is not so easy to answer satisfactorily, Lu Qi saw that Zhao Ziliang asked very casually, so he said righteously: "King, of course, being an official is for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of the people of the world, and for the king's business!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was stunned when he heard this, put down the teacup and looked at Lu Qi and said, "Lord Lu, do you coax this king as a three-year-old child?" Do you think this king will believe what you say? ”

A cold sweat suddenly broke out on Lu Qi's forehead, and he knelt down again, "The king is angry, the minister didn't mean to coax the king, but the colleagues in the officialdom all answered this way when facing the official's inquiry, the minister ······ The ministers also learned badly with them. The minister is telling the truth to the king, the purpose of other people's officials is not known, but the minister is an official for glory and wealth, for the sake of getting power, and for being superior! ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed at Lu Qi: "Look at you, although it's a little embarrassing to tell the truth, it sounds sincere, if you always talk nonsense, how can the superior believe that which sentence of you is true and which sentence is false?" How can you rest assured that you will leave things to a subordinate who is full of lies? This person needs to be sincere, and only sincerity can make people trust each other, including between superiors and subordinates, don't you say? ”

Lu Qi nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the king's words are golden and jade, but it is a pity that those people who are full of wealth are all hypocrites with honey and swords, and the king is a real husband!" ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled and asked, "What about you?" ”

"Minister?" Lu Qi was stunned for a moment, he reacted quickly, "The minister is a real villain!" ”

"Hahaha······" Zhao Ziliang laughed, "Very good, this king likes to like real villains rather than hypocrites!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ziliang suddenly stopped laughing, and said: "Lu Qi, since you said that you are a real villain, then this king will ask a few questions from real villains: Do you want to get ahead?" ”

Lu Qi nodded: "Yes!" ”

"Do you want to be promoted and make a fortune?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want to glorify your ancestors?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want to be prosperous and rich?"

"Yes!"

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang smiled, "This king will give you a chance, if you can seize this opportunity and complete the tasks assigned to you by this king and the imperial court, rich rewards and promotions are waiting for you!" But this time, I'm afraid that you need to really go to the soup, are you willing? ”

Lu Qi's face changed a few times, knowing that opportunities would not appear again and again, he immediately felt ruthless and said: "Please command, Lu Qi will never give up!" ”
