Chapter 457: Zhenbei Hou (2)


Li Linfu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Pingkangfang with a gloomy look on his face.

His two eagle dogs, Cao Jiwen, the official of Jingzhao Mansion, and Bo Luoxisi, the master of the censorship station, both went out to greet him.

Jiwen was the son of Jisuo, the ancient prime minister.

Xuanzong didn't like him at first, so he just appointed him as the new prime minister.

Jiwen was unwilling to stay in a small county, so he took refuge because his father Jisuo and Li Linfu were old friends.

Li Linfu was appointed as a scholar in Jingzhao Prefecture. , and Luo Xishi was the nephew of Honglu Shaoqing Zhang Boji.

Zhang Boji was Li Linfu's confidant.

He introduced Luo Xishi to Li Linfu.

Li Linfu saw that these two people had vicious and strange personalities and were good at extracting confessions through torture, so he took them into custody.

Stay around and act as a henchman.

Ji Wen went up to him, bowed and bowed his hands, saying, "How is the Prime Minister coming back?"

Luo Xishi also asked impatiently: "Yes, Prime Minister, has your Majesty ordered Zhao Ziliang to be dismissed from his post?"

Li Linfu looked ugly and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's talk after entering."

"Nuo" The two of them looked at each other and agreed to follow Li Linfu to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When he came to the lobby and waited for the maid to serve tea, Ji Wen saw that Li Linfu's face was ugly.

He guessed that this matter might not go well, otherwise Li Linfu's face would not be so ugly, so he asked: "Mr.

Prime Minister, didn't your Majesty issue an order to punish Zhao Ziliang?"

Li Linfu's face was so gloomy that it almost dripped with water.

He gritted his teeth and said: "I made a big mistake and ignored the relationship between Zhao Ziliang and the imperial concubine.

The empress seems to be very dissatisfied with me and wants to protect Zhao Ziliang to the death.

This pillow His Majesty was dizzy because of the wind in his head.

Not only did he not punish Zhao Ziliang, but he was also promoted to a noble rank.

Now he has been canonized as Marquis of Zhenbei, General Zhongwu, Hedong Governor's Military Envoy and Shanyu Protectorate.

Protector" "How could this happen to Marquis Zhenbei?"

Luo Xishi couldn't help but screamed.

After shouting, he glanced at Ji Wen.

Both of them were extremely shocked.

If it is an ordinary marquis with a place name, this is not a big deal.

At most, it will be more food.

However, a marquis with the title of Zhenbeihou can open a mansion.

Not only can he appoint the chief historian and director of the marquis mansion on his own, Bo, you can also form a small guard force , you can have family generals, as long as the title is not cut off, no matter how low the official position is or there is no official position at all, the court must pay for all the officials of the marquis mansion, big and small.

However, a marquis with such a title must sit in the north, otherwise this The title is meaningless.

Li Linfu thought for a while, his face fell, and then thought carefully, Zhao Ziliang had no one to rely on in the court, and as a side general, he could not participate in the decision-making of major affairs in the court, so there was no threat to Li Linfu's position in the court at all. , since we can’t move him for the time being, let him stay in Mobei.

After thinking about this clearly, Li Linfu sighed: "Forget it, the imperial concubine is protecting him.

It seems that we can't do anything about the boy named Zhao for the time being.

Let him go for now, but we still have to keep an eye on him.

As long as he has If he is at fault, immediately collect the witnesses and physical evidence and report it to the truth.

Whether we will take action against him at that time will depend on the situation."

Jiwen and Luo Xishi also knew that this matter could not be done for the time being, so they could only agree: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, we will always send people to keep an eye on him."

Li Linfu thought for a while and then said: "There are still many people in the government who are against the truth and are unwilling to bow to the truth.

The biggest ones are of course the prince's line.

Among them, Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian are the prince's right-hand men." , and Wang Zhongsi and Tai The relationship with the prince is very good, and several of them strongly support the prince.

I am a little unable to fight against the prince.

I must find a way to get rid of these right-hand men of the prince.

This is one; second, Yang Shenjin, this old dog, has been staring at me. , jump up and down He contacted some officials to impeach me, which made me unhappy; thirdly, Wang Gong has always ignored me and often spoke ill of me in front of His Majesty.

If this person is not removed, I will have trouble sleeping and eating with these three gangs.

Among them, the least powerful one is of course It's Yang Shenjin, let's take action on this person first.

The Wang family is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and with the support of the Taiyuan Wang family, he can't be easily touched.

The prince's side seems to be strong, but the right-hand man who wants to eradicate him is...

It’s not too difficult.”

Ji Wen immediately said: "According to the Prime Minister's plan, we should first move Yang Shenjin, then move to eliminate the crown prince's right-hand man, and finally find a way to deal with the Wang family."

Li Linfu nodded, "Yes, I mean to follow this plan, but it is not absolute.

It depends on the actual situation.

You should use all your strength to find the handle and evidence of these people.

If you have any news, tell me immediately."

"Don't worry, Prime Minister.

We may not be able to do other things, but I am the best at pulling people's pigtails."

In February of the fifth year of Tianbao, AD 476, Mobei, Zhenbeicheng.

Just after the first lunar month, Zhao Ziliang organized soldiers and horses to practice on the grassland outside the city.

Under Zhao Ziliang's instructions, groups of neat infantry phalanxes made attacking and defensive movements.

Each infantryman held a large shield and a shield.

Armed with long spears and carrying bows and arrows and quivers on their backs, the cavalry also practiced riding, riding archery, riding combat skills and tactical coordination under the command of Bo Lehan, Gao Xiuyan and Zhang Shouyu.

After the Xi and Khitan people were wiped out at the end of last year, Zhao Ziliang wrote to Tian Renwan, the governor of Hedong, to discuss the transfer of two thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry from Hedong.

Tian Renwan fell ill at the end of last year, and was seriously ill and could not govern.

See After receiving the official document sent by Zhao Ziliang, he asked his subordinate officials to cooperate.

A few days after the New Year, two thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry finally arrived at Zhenbei City after more than a month of long journey.

The army was training in full swing when a fast horse came galloping from a distance.

The knight galloped to the edge of the training ground and stopped.

Then he quickly ran up to the general station, shouting: "Report" as he ran.

Zhao Ziliang turned his head and took a look, then shouted to the five thousand infantrymen in the audience: "Stop where you are and rest."

After hearing this, the soldiers put down their shields and spears one after another, sat cross-legged on the grass and began to rest.

The knight who reported the news ran to Zhao Ziliang and bowed before him and said: "General, the Holy Emperor has sent an envoy to announce the decree.

The troops have arrived at the foot of Snow Wolf Mountain."

Snow Wolf Mountain is only thirty miles away from here, and the eunuchs who announced the decree will arrive soon.

Zhao Ziliang did not expect that there would be eunuchs to announce the decree at this time.

According to calculations, this group of eunuchs who announced the decree should have set off years ago.

Could it be that the imperial court has any new intentions?

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and couldn't think of a reason, so he sent someone to find Zhang Shouyu and said: "Your Majesty has sent an envoy to announce the decree.

You can take someone to pick it up.

I will be here to prepare for the decree."

"Promise" Zhang Shouyu agreed and brought fifty cavalry to greet him.

Although the ceremony to welcome the emperor's envoy had to be prepared, the training of soldiers and horses could not be stopped.

Zhao Ziliang arranged for Guo Ziyi to take over his place and continue to train soldiers and horses.

He himself sent people to prepare desks and incense candles, and sent people to guard the generals and generals above.

Came here to prepare for the order.

An hour later, the emperor's envoy arrived in a carriage outside Zhenbei City.

Zhao Ziliang and the main generals of the army went to greet him.

When the carriage stopped, a middle-aged eunuch stepped out of the carriage with the support of two young eunuchs.

Zhao Ziliang, who was sitting on the horse, took a look and saw that the middle-aged eunuch was actually Yu Chaoen, who had defeated Tubo in the West Sea a few years ago. , and it was Yu Chaoen who announced the decree to him and Huangfu Weiming as an envoy.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be Master Yu," Zhao Ziliang said, getting off his horse and approaching him with a smile.

He himself didn't like dealing with eunuchs, but it wasn't easy for them to come all the way, and there was no need to offend a eunuch.

After hearing what Zhao Ziliang said, Yu Chaoen quickly arranged his clothes and bowed to Zhao Ziliang: "I don't dare to call you sir as General Zhao.

I am just an errand boy beside your majesty.

The last time I met the general was in Xihai County, but now here in Mobei."

In this bitter cold land, things are really unpredictable.

The general is becoming more powerful and majestic now.

I am really happy for the general."

"Hahaha" Zhao Ziliang laughed and asked with a smile: "My father-in-law, shouldn't he have bad news again this time?"

Yu Chaoen quickly shook his head and said: "That can't be done.

The general defeated the Xi people and the Khitan, and Yaowu Mobei allowed our Tang Dynasty to gain thousands of miles of land.

After hearing about it, His Majesty Long Yan was very happy and happily accepted it.

The general sent people to send cattle, sheep and horses, so he sent slaves to announce the decree."

Zhao Ziliang nodded, cupped his hands and said: "My father-in-law, you have been working hard all the way.

Thank you for your hard work.

I have sent people to prepare a residence and a banquet in the city.

My father-in-law, do you want to announce the decree first or go to the banquet first?"

Yu Chaoen saw that the army training place was next to him, and the incense table had been set up on the general's stage, so he said: "Since the incense table is ready, let's declare the decree first."

"Okay, father-in-law, please" The group of people arrived at the general platform.

Thousands of soldiers and horses below had stopped training under the command of Guo Ziyi, Gao Xiuyan and others, and lined up in a dense formation to move closer to the general platform.

As Yu Chaoen walked, he watched the general giving orders.

The soldiers moved in unison, with great military might, and a chilling air came to his face.

This military might and chilling air made Yu Chaoen's legs feel weak, and his forehead felt wet.

A thin layer of sweat breaks out.

Yu Chaoen held the imperial edict in both hands and saluted in front of the incense table with two other young eunuchs.

Then he turned to face Zhao Ziliang and other generals and all the soldiers in the audience, and said loudly: "Under the imperial edict, the military envoy to the left wing of Hedong and the Datong Army Envoy to receive the order" "Your Majesty, Zhao Ziliang, accepts the order," Zhao Ziliang replied, and all the soldiers bowed down.

After Yu Chaoen finished reciting the imperial edict, Zhao Ziliang thanked the Lord loudly for his kindness.

In fact, he had received the news as early as the third day of the first lunar month, but he did not publicize it.

In addition to Zhao Ziliang, other meritorious generals and commanders also received rewards.

After the announcement, Zhao Ziliang took Yu Chaoen to the city for a banquet.

They were served a good meal of wine and meat.

Yu Chaoen's mouth was filled with oil and he was satisfied.

Zhao Ziliang did not let him go in vain and gave him some gold and silver. , which made him very happy
