Zhao Ziliang looked at the invitation in his hand repeatedly and thought for a long time about what Prince Li Heng meant.
Zhao Ziliang generally believed that Prince Li Heng did not have any ill intentions towards him for the time being.
You must know that the prince was now ordered to investigate him.
If there was any ill intention, he would not send An invitation was sent to him to invite him to a banquet.
As for Li Heng's intentions, he would only know after he went there.
At noon, Zhao Ziliang brought several guards to Zuixian Tower in the city.
The waiter led them to a very elegant private room on the third floor.
Prince Li Heng was sitting in it wearing plain clothes, and there were several guards standing at the door.
Sitting with the prince was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.
This young man was dressed like a Confucian scholar and looked quite wise and free.
When this man saw Zhao Ziliang, he immediately stood up and came out: "But General Zhao?"
Zhao Ziliang cupped his hands and said: "It is Zhao, Your Excellency" I saw this young Confucian scholar return the courtesy and said: "I am Li Mi, whose courtesy name is Changyuan.
I am waiting for imperial edict in Hanlin.
I am walking in the East Palace."
Li Mi and Zhao Zi were shocked.
This man turned out to be a great person.
He served four generations of emperors, all of whom were senior staff members.
He quickly said: "It turns out to be Mr.
Chang Yuan.
I'm disrespectful.
I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince is here?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the inner room.
He has been waiting for the general for a long time.
General," Li Mi said, making a gesture of invitation.
Zhao Ziliang walked into the private room and saw Prince Li Heng sitting inside wearing casual clothes.
He quickly saluted and said, "See His Royal Highness."
Li Heng smiled and stood up, helped Zhao Ziliang up, and said with a smile: "General, there is no need to be polite.
This is not a serious occasion.
There is no need to be polite.
Mr.
Changyuan, please tell the shopkeeper to serve the dishes."
"No," Li Mi agreed, walked to the door and sent a guard downstairs to call the shopkeeper to serve the food.
After the food and drinks were served, Li Heng, Li Mi and Zhao Ziliang drank several drinks in a row.
While drinking and eating, they chatted and asked some common questions, and Zhao Ziliang answered them all.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Mi took Li Heng's place and said, "Zhao Ziliang, His Royal Highness invited the general here this time just to get close and familiar with the general.
This time, His Royal Highness was ordered to investigate several charges against the general by several censors. , His Royal Highness can be said to be It took a lot of effort.
During the investigation, many people tried their best to slander the general.
If His Royal Highness hadn't clearly understood everything, he might have been deceived by these people, and it would also have caused a lot of trouble to the general.
There are not many generals.
A few drinks to His Majesty the Prince.”
"It should be, it should be."
Zhao Ziliang immediately picked up the wine glass and said to Li Heng: "Thank you, Your Highness, for upholding justice for the last general.
I will give you a drink first, as a token of respect."
Seeing this, Li Heng smiled and nodded, and said: "The general has outstanding military exploits and strong martial arts.
He has been very effective in managing the guards of Zuojian and Zuojinwu.

I appreciate it very much.
Nowadays, most of the people in this dynasty are mediocre and incompetent." generation, plus my father He was also deceived by the treacherous Prime Minister Li Linfu and others, so that the court became more and more turbulent.
We really need General Zhao, an upright and loyal man, to clean up the turmoil and clean up the atmosphere.
Although the general has been suspended from his duties, he must not lose heart."
Li Mi helped: "Yes, General Zhao, the investigation is over.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has figured out everything.
He can report to His Majesty today.
The general will be able to resume his duties soon.
What difficulties and difficulties will the general face in the future?
You can come to His Highness the Crown Prince.
His Highness admires the general very much and will definitely not refuse."
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands that His Highness is the first heir to the throne of the Tang Dynasty.
If the General is a civil servant, he must obey His Highness.
But as a military general, if he gets too close to His Highness, Once someone is brought to His Majesty, it doesn't matter how he will be dealt with.
If he is implicated, Your Majesty is in great disgrace.
Now among His Majesty's heirs, His Majesty is the only one who is far wiser than the other princes.
If His Majesty is jealous of His Majesty because of his last general, the future of the Tang Dynasty will be uncertain.
In the future, as long as His Majesty and His Majesty are not harmed, Whatever is harmful to the Tang Dynasty, does not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, or is beneficial to the country, your Highness will not fail to obey your orders."
After hearing what Zhao Ziliang said, Li Heng and Li Mi looked at each other.
Although the trip did not meet their expectations, Zhao Ziliang's words had satisfied them.
Zhao Ziliang said that he would not go away with them.
Too close, but also said that under certain circumstances, he would still side with Li Heng.
At least if the emperor was not involved, Zhao Ziliang would never help Li Linfu deal with him.
As long as he was still the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Ziliang would It won't be against him.
After Zhao Ziliang left, Li Heng asked Li Mi: "What do you think of Zhao Ziliang, sir?"
Li Mi cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, it can be seen that Your Highness admires him very much.
This person is a loyal person, but he cannot be won over.
However, it is certain that he will not help His Highness's political opponents.
For such a person, His Highness cannot be with him."
We can even borrow his hands to do some things."
Li Heng nodded and said: "Gu is still a little worried.
This person hates evil and is upright, but Gu has some shady things and business under his control.
If he is discovered by this person, I'm afraid he will not be merciful.
His Zuojin Wuwei and Youwei General's Mansion are in charge of this matter."
Li Bi said: "Your Highness, can't you give up these things and business?"
Li Heng shook his head and said: "It's not possible for the time being.
Nowadays, those officials in the court are not greedy people who want to win over them.
How can we do it without money?
Moreover, the expenses of the lonely East Palace are very high.
It is absolutely impossible to do anything without money."
Hearing this, Li Bi said harshly: "It's all Li Linfu who has ruined the atmosphere of the imperial court these years.
But Your Highness, if you continue to do the dirty things and business in your hands, once the emperor discovers it, Your Highness will be punished."
Suspicion, this is a petty loss, and are those officials who can be bribed with money really reliable?
If they are bribed by Li Linfu and his gang at a critical moment, wouldn't they stab us in the back?"
Li Heng was always a soft-eared person.

When he saw that Li Mi was speaking so seriously, he suddenly panicked and asked, "How should I deal with it, sir?"
Li Mi thought for a moment and said: "Since His Highness is temporarily in need of those shady businesses, it would be better to make some new arrangements so that if something happens, they can immediately cut off their contact with His Highness, so that Your Highness can completely cut off the relationship.
From now on.
Judging from what Zhao Ziliang did after taking office as General Zuojinwuwei Youwei, he first dealt with He carried out severe purges of the soldiers there, and then carried out large-scale cleansing and rectification of the generals and officials.
Under his series of actions, the public security situation in Chang'an County was greatly improved.
According to the following officer's inference, he only I'm afraid there will be another big move.
After rectifying the internal situation, Your Highness, please think about what he will do next."
Li Heng thought for a while and said: "Now that the internal situation has been cleared, the next step is to deal with the external factors that affect public security."
"Yes."
Li Mi nodded, and continued: "What are the external factors that affect public security?
What are His Highness's things and shady businesses?
I'm afraid they are all within the scope of his attack.
Of course, this is not just His Highness's strength has been affected, and others will also be affected. , no wonder some people keep wanting to impeach him.
In fact, His Majesty's attitude has been clear for a long time.
He just wants to show off to those people, and does not really want to do anything to Zhao Ziliang, otherwise His Majesty would not say what he wants.
Maintain the rules established by Zhao Ziliang in the Youwei General's Mansion unchanged."
Li Heng thought and weighed it for a moment before agreeing: "Okay, let's do as the teacher said."
"Li Jingzhong, go back to the palace," Li Heng said, getting up and walking out.
"Nuo" stood next to a white-faced middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old and immediately agreed, but the sound he made revealed his identity.
He was a eunuch.
After Zhao Ziliang left Zuixian Tower, he kept thinking about the situation when he saw Li Heng just now.
His contact with Li Heng made Zhao Ziliang feel that Li Heng was too indecisive.
He was only in his thirties and his temples had appeared.
The gray hair shows that he, the crown prince, is also very uncomfortable.
It can be said that he walks on thin ice in the court and it is extremely difficult.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the war horse Wuli stop and look up.
It turned out that an old woman fell to the ground a few meters in front and couldn't get up.
When Zhao Ziliang saw it, he immediately jumped off the war horse and walked towards the old woman.
"Old man, are you okay?"
Zhao Ziliang walked to the old woman and squatted down and asked.
I saw the old woman moaning non-stop: "Oh, oh!"
Zhao Ziliang said quickly: "Old man, I will take you to the doctor at the hospital to have a look.
Come, I will help you up."
"Oh, I am old and useless.
Thank you very much, my husband."
The old woman groaned and stood up slowly with the help of Zhao Ziliang.
Just when Zhao Ziliang was about to turn around, the old woman suddenly had a dagger in her hand.
The dagger stabbed Zhao Ziliang in the abdomen at a very fast speed.
She originally wanted to stab him, but Zhao Ziliang was too tall and his heart was too high.
She could only choose the nearest belly.
Zhao Ziliang did not feel the murderous intention at all, so he was completely unprepared.
Just when the old woman suddenly revealed the murderous intention, it was too late when Zhao Ziliang felt the murderous intention.
The dagger was extremely sharp and successfully penetrated the clothes and penetrated his abdomen.
Zhao Ziliang grunted and punched the old lady assassin.
Although she tried her best to avoid it, she was still hit on the shoulder.

She was sent flying several meters away.
She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
She quickly got up and ran towards the alley next to her. inside.
"Ah, murder, murder."
A passerby saw the assassination scene just now and saw blood flowing out of Zhao Ziliang's abdomen.
Several retinues jumped off their horses and ran over.
Bai Xiaode said anxiously: "General, you are injured.
Let's go to the medical center to treat your injury."
Zhao Ziliang covered the wound and gritted his teeth and said: "This small flesh wound doesn't matter.
I'm fine.
Just leave two people behind.
You lead the others to chase the assassin.
You must catch him."
"promise" "Dudududu" an urgent whistle sounded, and a group of Zuojinwu Guard patrol soldiers quickly ran over.
The captain at the head knew Zhao Ziliang, and when he saw that he had been assassinated, he was so frightened that he immediately bowed and said: "General , my subordinates were late in rescuing me, I really deserve to die.”
There were beads of sweat on Zhao Ziliang's forehead and he waved his hand: "The assassin is in disguise.
She is a young woman.
She has been injured on the left shoulder by this general.
Go and catch her quickly.
This general is fine."
"Nuo" the captain agreed, and immediately said to his soldiers: "Quickly notify all nearby soldiers, block all nearby intersections within a two-mile radius, strictly check the passers-by, and arrest anyone suspicious immediately, especially pay attention to the left shoulder "Injured young woman" "Yes, Colonel":
