Chapter 467: The Death of Huangfu Weiming


At the end of April, Zhao Ziliang returned to Mobei and held a meeting of generals and officials two days after arriving in Zhenbeicheng.

During the meeting, the retinue in charge of feeding the eagles sent him a small note.

On the note was a message from Chang'an: Long'an Youjiedushi Huangfu Weiming was framed by Li Linfu, and the emperor ordered him to be removed from his post as Longyou Jiedushi and demoted to the governor of Bochuan.

It turned out that after Huangfu returned to the court in the Ming Dynasty to offer prisoners, he learned that Li Linfu was monopolizing power in the court, blocking speech, excluding dissidents, and framed Zhongliang, so he advised Xuanzong Lin Fu and believed that Wei Jian, the Minister of Punishment, had the talent of a prime minister and could be used.

Little did he know that when he said this, there were many servants and maids around Xuanzong, and Li Linfu had been running the palace for many years, and his eyes and ears were everywhere.

Although he was attacked once by Zhao Ziliang, he soon spread the law in the palace again.

Full of eyeliners, Huangfu Weiming's words to persuade Xuanzong Linfu soon reached Li Linfu's ears.

Li Linfu was furious and immediately ordered his men to collect Huangfu Weiming's evidence.

Huangfu Weiming also lacked political acumen.

As a side general, how could he participate in the appointment and dismissal of the prime minister?

Besides, the position of the prime minister was much higher than that of a side general.

No matter how he said it, he was not qualified to say that Li Linfu was unsuitable, let alone Wei Wei.

Jian has the talent of prime minister and can be used, and Wei Jian is the prince's brother-in-law, and he is from the Prince's Palace in the East Palace.

Even if it is to avoid suspicion, he should not say such things in front of the emperor, which makes Xuanzong very worried.

Disgusted.

On the one hand, Xuanzong thought that it was inappropriate for him to recommend one of his own to be the prime minister.

On the other hand, Xuanzong thought that he was a little arrogant because of his favor.

Otherwise, how could a peripheral general be involved in the appointment and removal of prime ministers in the DPRK?

It seems that Huangfu Weiming was unlucky.

He made an appointment with Wei Jian to play outside the city in the capital, and happened to be seen by Li Linfu's minion Jiwen.

Jiwen thought this was a good opportunity and immediately reported it to Li Linfu.

Lin Fu was a man with extremely high political sensitivity.

He had long discovered that Xuanzong was dissatisfied with Huangfu Weiming's favor and arrogance, and immediately instigated the officials in the court to impeach Wei Jian for having a secret meeting with a border general, in order to depose him. .

Xuanzong cared most about his ruling position and would never tolerate anyone planning to abolish Li Li behind his back.

When several officials impeached Wei Jian for having a secret meeting with a border general and planned to abolish Li Li, Xuanzong was furious.

The decree arrested Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming and put them in prison.

After the two men were imprisoned in the sky prison, Li Linfu asked many ministers who were attached to him to testify.

This shocked Xuanzong.

Xuanzong began to doubt that Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming could really do such a thing.

After all, Wei Jian was The Minister of Punishment was an important minister of the imperial court, while Huangfu Weiming was the minister of Longyou.

Jiedushi is one of the most important border generals.

Longyou is not far from the capital.

If the two of them join forces, Huangfu Weiming's army can reach the capital in only ten days and a half if it marches quickly.

With Wei Jian inside and outside, it is entirely possible for this matter to succeed as long as it is planned properly.

Although Xuanzong was suspicious, there was no conclusive evidence.

After all, Wei Jian was an important minister in the imperial court, and Huangfu Weiming was a border general.

In the absence of conclusive evidence, even if the emperor wanted to move them, he had to take into account the public opinion of the government and the public.

So Xuanzong issued an edict saying that Wei Jian was extremely ambitious in seeking an official position, and demoted him to the prefect of Jinyun.

He also said that Huangfu Weiming was sowing discord between the emperor and his ministers, and demoted him to the prefect of Bochuan.

In the lobby of the Hou Mansion, Zhao Ziliang's expression changed after reading the note.

He knew that Huangfu Weiming was in danger, but there was nothing he could do.

Bole saw that Zhao Ziliang looked strange, so he asked: "Master Marquis, has something happened?"

All the generals in the hall looked at Zhao Ziliang, and Zhao Ziliang sighed: "General Huangfu Weiming, the military governor of Longyou, has been demoted to the governor of Bochuan."

Brahan was surprised: "Why is this happening?"

Zhao Ziliang said: "While General Huangfu was in Beijing, he was playing with Wei Jian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, outside the city, but he was seen by Li Linfu's minions.

Li Linfu used this as an excuse to frame Wei Jian for having a private meeting with the general in order to depose him.

His Majesty was furious.

They were put in jail at first, but there was no evidence, so they were demoted."

Zhao Hu, who had been promoted to Zhaowu Colonel, stood up and said, "Uncle, I heard that you were cared for and valued by General Huangfu when you were in Hexi.

Now that General Huangfu is in trouble, uncle, why don't you write a letter to your Majesty to plead with His Majesty for your kindness to my second uncle?"

With grace, General Huangfu should be reinstated to his post."

"No, absolutely not," Cheng Yuanzhen said in shock after hearing this.

After all, he has been in the palace for a long time and is quite familiar with and sensitive to political struggles.

Moreover, Zhao Ziliang gets along well with him.

He cannot bear to have Zhao Ziliang dragged into this matter.

When it comes to the issue of the throne, the emperor does not care about you.

Anyone can kill even his biological father, let alone a side general.

A general in the hall asked: "Eunuch Cheng, why not?"

Cheng Yuanzhen said: "Since Mr.

Hou is not a member of any force in the court, it is best not to get involved in this kind of thing, and it is too late to intervene now.

If Mr.

Hou intercedes on behalf of General Huangfu, not only will he not be able to save General Huangfu, but It might also make him die faster, and I'm afraid even the Marquis will be deliberately involved by someone with ulterior motives."

After hearing Cheng Yuanzhen's words, Zhao Hu broke into a cold sweat and quickly said to Zhao Ziliang: "Second uncle, my son is stupid and almost ruined something big.

Please punish me."

Zhao Ziliang was very satisfied with Zhao Hu's attitude of daring to admit his mistakes.

He raised his hand and said: "Forget it, you are still young.

This incident should be a lesson to you.

You must pay attention to it in the future.

Listen more, read more and think more.

Don't act easily."

Have an opinion" "Yes, uncle" Although there was no evidence that Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming were plotting to overthrow Li, Xuanzong was always worrying about gains and losses and was really worried.

In addition, Li Linfu kept slandering him all day long.

Xuanzong finally couldn't help but decree that he should die.

Huangfu is bright.

Only half a month later, news came from Chang'an that Huangfu Weiming was killed by the emperor's decree while serving as the governor of Bochuan.

But Wei Jian is okay for the time being.

He is just a civil servant.

Xuanzong is not worried that he will make trouble after being demoted.

It is different to be Huangfu Weiming.

Huangfu Weiming has been a border general for a long time, with great military achievements and a high reputation in the army.

Even if He was demoted to be the governor of Bochuan.

Xuanzong was still worried about him and had no choice but to kill him.

After reading the note in his hand, Zhao Ziliang fell down on the chair in despair.

Bo Han had never seen such a look on Zhao Ziliang's face before and asked worriedly: "Master Hou, what's the matter?"

Zhao Ziliang murmured: "General Huangfu is dead.

He was given death by the emperor."

"Ah" Bo Lehan was shocked, "How could this happen?

After all, General Huangfu is also a great minister and general with great military exploits.

How can the emperor just let him die just because he wants him to die?"

Cheng Yuanzhen just walked into the lobby and happened to hear Zhao Ziliang say this news.

He said: "What does this mean?

Today's Holy Emperor is most afraid of someone staring at his throne.

With such an expression, the Holy Emperor has always been holding the belief that he has , with an attitude that cannot be trusted, even the prince has been suspected many times, and two princes have been deposed, so one minister is nothing."

Zhao Ziliang cupped his hands and said, "My father-in-law also knows about this."

"I just heard about it.

Hey, our family understands how the Marquis feels.

As the saying goes, the fox dies when the rabbit dies, not to mention the friendship between the Marquis and General Huangfu.

But please take care of the Marquis and don't let this go."

Zhao Ziliang rubbed his face and waved his hands: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I won't be intimidated by this matter."

The death of Huangfu Weiming shocked both the government and the public.

There was a lot of discussion between the court and the people, and people in the army were even more uneasy.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Zhao Ziliang had to hold a meeting of generals and officers to stabilize people's hearts, pay close attention to training and ideological work, and military discipline could not be relaxed. .

On this day, Zhao Ziliang asked Cheng Yuanzhen to come over for discussion and said: "Eunuch Cheng, you have also seen that even our Mobei Army has been upset because of this incident.

The soldiers are chilling.

All the armies in Hedong are afraid that the situation will be worse.

The situation here has stabilized.

I want to rush back to Hedong to take charge of the situation to prevent the situation from getting out of hand.

By then it will be too late to solve the problem.

What do you think, father-in-law?"

Whether the morale of the army is stable or not is a big deal.

Once the army rebels, it is no joke.

Cheng Yuanzhen also feels sad in his heart.

He is lucky that there are such prestigious generals as Zhao Ziliang in Mobei to suppress the soldiers below.

If it had been anyone else, something would have happened a long time ago.

Now that the situation of the Mobei Army has stabilized, he is relieved, so he said to Zhao Ziliang: "It's extremely, extremely, the Marquis should rush back to Hedong as soon as possible to take charge, as long as our family is here."

"Then it's all down to you, father-in-law."

Zhao Ziliang ordered his people to tidy up and prepare a little before setting off overnight and hurried back to Yunzhou.

This time the speed was faster.

Zhao Ziliang only brought the Eighteen Tornado Cavalry with him.

He entered the customs in only four days and rushed back on the fifth day.

Yunzhou.

Zhao Ziliang had no time to rest at all.

After arriving in Yunzhou, he immediately rushed to the Hengye Army for inspection.

He also calmed down a riot at the Hengye Army station.

He killed four captains and military leaders who made the most riot on the spot to suppress the situation. , Stabilize military morale.

Zhao Ziliang also ordered all the generals, officers and soldiers of the Hedong army, including the soldiers of the prefectures and counties, to stay in the military camps in the name of the military envoy of the capital.

No one was allowed to go out, except for the imperial edict and Zhao Ziliang's military orders. , are not allowed to accept any transfers.

Except for soldiers who are on duty, patrolling and guarding the military camp, all other soldiers must turn in all their weapons, bows and arrows and store them in a unified manner.

The warehouse is not allowed to be opened without orders.

Zhao Ziliang handled it very promptly and properly.

Only the Hengye Army in Hedong had a small riot.

After he issued military orders and measures, the morale of the other armies began to stabilize.

Next, Zhao Ziliang inspected the Tianbing Army, Datong Army, and The conditions of Kelan Army and Yunzhong Shouchu were relatively good, and no mutiny occurred again.

During this period, some mutinies occurred on the frontiers of various parts of the Tang Dynasty.

Although they were suppressed in the end, the losses were considerable.

The trust of the soldiers in the court began to be compromised.

The soldiers were on the frontiers through life and death, especially the generals with great military exploits.

The emperor actually killed him just by saying he was dead, which made many soldiers and generals extremely chilled
