After Zhao Ziliang returned to his home outside the city from the palace, he closed the door to thank the guests.
Except for a few close disciples and former subordinates, no one else was seen.
Even Chen Xuanli, who has now become General Longwu, and General Zang Xiyan of Zuojianmen When others came to the door in person, he sent someone to block the door.
Within two days, Zhao Ziliang heard that Xuanzong had issued a general amnesty on his 60th birthday last year, and that Gai Jiayun, who had been imprisoned in Tianlao, was pardoned and was now being held in Changlefang, so he ordered his people to prepare some small gifts.
Go visit.
In fact, Gai Jiayun didn't have any great kindness to Zhao Ziliang, that is, when he was in Anxi, he did a little favor for the sake of Fu Meng Lingcha.
However, Zhao Ziliang is obviously not that kind of snob.
How can I say two things?
There was some friendship between people back then.
Gai Jiayun has changed a lot in the past few years while he was imprisoned in Tianlao.
He is in his fifties and looks like he is already in his seventies.
His hair and beard are all white, and the old wrinkles on his face can trap the legs of mosquitoes.
The whole person is skinny.
Gai Jiayun now lives in a small rented courtyard.
There are three families in the small courtyard, all of whom are tenants.
Since Gai Jiayun was defeated by Tubo because of his neglect of defense in Hexi, he was arrested and imprisoned by Xuanzong's order.
When he entered the Heavenly Prison, he was originally going to be executed, but Xuanzong wanted to He had been guarding the border in Anxi for many years and had made great achievements.
Therefore, he was not killed, but was imprisoned in the sky prison for several years.
In order to rescue him, his family sold all their property and gave gifts to the court ministers, hoping that they would Being able to speak well in front of Xuanzong is regarded as a good word.
However, all this was in vain.
Many ministers in the court received money but did not do anything, or tried their best but with poor results.
In short, all the Gai family's money was in vain, and his two sons were also punished because of him.
Being implicated, not only was his official position in jeopardy, but he almost lost his life.
The big Gai family has already dismissed its servants and maids, leaving only a few members of the family.
The men work part-time while the women sew and mend.
They rely on these to maintain the family's livelihood.
Xuanzong did not demote his family.
Being a slave in a bitter and cold frontier land was not bad at all.
Gai Jiayun was very happy to see Zhao Ziliang come to visit with a gift.
The old man was bursting into tears and couldn't control it.
Everyone said that the tea is cold when people leave.
What's more, he was once a guilty person.
In the past, his relatives, friends, soldiers, etc.
Colleagues at the middle and lower levels were afraid to avoid him, so they dared to get involved with him.
Over the years, only Zhao Ziliang came to see him.
During the years when he was imprisoned in the sky prison, Zhao Ziliang also visited him twice when he returned to Beijing.
Gai Jiayun, who looked very old, was holding a two-year-old grandson and Zhao Ziliang were sitting face to face with Xiao Fangji in the yard.
The rest of the family and the other two tenants were standing and watching from a distance.
"A little rough tea, please don't dislike it Ziliang" Gai Jiayun said calmly while holding the tea cup.
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "What did the commander say?
If Ziliang wanted to drink good tea, he wouldn't come here.
I just came back from Mobei two days ago and heard that the commander was pardoned by His Majesty last year, so I came here to take a look, but I didn’t expect that the situation in Dashuai’s home is now like this.
It’s all Ziliang’s fault.
If I had known about Dashuai earlier, I would never have made Dashuai’s family live in such poverty.”
Gai Jiayun waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm living a very comfortable life now.

Although I have a simple meal every day, I feel at ease.
Alas, I often regret that if I hadn't indulged in drinking and sex in Hexi, how could I be like this?
Ah Ziliang, I have also heard about what happened.
You should not have come today.
I am a guilty person to begin with.
Now you cannot protect yourself.
If people find out that you are dealing with me, some people in the court will probably Make a big fuss out of this.”
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Commander, if you have to look forward and backward in everything, wouldn't it be too tiring to live in this life?
Now that the commander has no official position, I also have no official position.
Two common people visit each other normally because of some old feelings in the past.
What's the matter?
If some people have to control this, aren't they being too lenient, Commander?
Now that the discipline of the government has been corrupted and generals are reused, I am regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh by some people.
I cannot continue to serve as an official.
Yesterday, I submitted a letter to the emperor, asking for permission to remove my armor and return to my fields and return home.
Those who regard me as The person who is a thorn in my side will definitely try his best to promote this matter, I am afraid that I will have to say goodbye to the commander in a few days."
Gai Jiayun looked at Zhao Ziliang and sighed: "Oh, you are young, it is the prime time to build your career, but you are forced to retire and return to your hometown.
This is the power of traitors in the court.
You are now on the cusp of the storm.
"It doesn't matter if we retreat from the rapids or avoid the limelight.
When the political clarity in the DPRK becomes clear, it will be too late to come out and do things again."
The two of them didn't have much to say when they met.
Before leaving, Zhao Ziliang waved to Bo Han.
Bo Han stepped forward and took out a golden ticket.
Zhao Ziliang took it and put it on the table.
In the past, he said to Gai Jiayun: "The commander-in-chief is now in a difficult situation at home.
This money is nothing compared to the kindness the commander-in-chief showed to the general in promoting me.
Please accept it no matter what, and let the general do his best."
Gai Jiayun wanted to refuse, but looking at Zhao Ziliang's serious look, he knew that he couldn't shirk it, so he might as well accept it generously, "Okay, I have promoted many people in my life, and now that you are in this situation, you, Zhao Ziliang, are the only one who can still accept it."
Reminiscing about old friendship.
Send someone to tell you when you are leaving and I will see you off."
"How dare you bother the commander to see you off?
Ziliang will come over again when you leave."
Returning to his home outside the city, the housekeeper Wang Ru came up to him and said, "Master Hou, Princess Yuzhen sent someone to invite Master Hou to go to Yuzhen Temple tomorrow evening to reminisce about the past.
This is a famous assassination sent by Princess Yuzhen."
"Oh" Zhao Ziliang borrowed the famous thorn and looked at it, "Okay, I understand, right, go ahead and tell me not to call me Marquis anymore.
I have already written to the Holy One, requesting that my title of Marquis of Zhenbei be removed.
Now I have If you don’t guard Mobei, what else does the title of Marquis of Zhenbei do to you?
It’s just to make people laugh.”
After Wang Ru and others heard this, their faces looked miserable.
The once glorious Zhenbei Hou Mansion, which was admired by thousands of people, was gone.
On the evening of the next day, Zhao Ziliang came to Yuzhen Temple as scheduled, and Princess Yuzhen came to the door to greet her, "Ziliang, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are well."
Zhao Ziliang cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, Taoist Priest, I'm sorry.
Zi Liang is very good."
Princess Yuzhen nodded, turned sideways and stretched out her hand: "It's windy and snowy outside, let's go in and talk, please."

"Taoist Master, please come first."
The two of them walked side by side towards the temple.
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Seeing that Taoist Priest's appearance has not changed much over the years, but it has become more radiant.
I wonder if there is any secret technique to preserve one's appearance.
If so, please teach Taoist Priest a lesson so that I can get it."
Go back and please my wife.”
Princess Yuzhen smiled and said: "I don't have any secret skills, but I do have some experience.
If Madam Ruozun doesn't mind, I will make a copy later and give it to Ziliang to take back."
In order to make themselves age slower and have a more radiant face, the concubines in the palace ordered the maids below to study the secret art of beauty.
The concubines in the palace were not short of money, and they had plenty of time and money to conduct research.
Tester, if you talk about the secret technique of keeping a beautiful face, I am afraid that even if the people are flattering, they will not dare to do it.
Zhao Ziliang quickly thanked him: "So, thank you very much Ziliang."
Walking into the hall, Zhao Ziliang saw that there were two seats on the main seat directly opposite.
One of them was Yang Yuhuan.
Unexpectedly, she would be here.
Zhao Ziliang hurried over to greet the concubine: "Ziliang pays homage to the imperial concubine."
Yang Yuhuan was very unhappy when she saw Zhao Ziliang treating her with this attitude: "Zhao Ziliang, you are wrong.
I am wearing casual clothes today, and I am not here as a noble concubine.
If you treat me with respect, I will leave now."
"After saying that, he stood up and made a gesture to leave.
Zhao Ziliang said quickly: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, then how should I call you now?
You are not a Taoist priest anymore.
If I call you by your first name, and the official knows about it, I will lose my head."
Yang Yuhuan frowned after hearing this.
This matter is really troublesome.
She thought about it and suddenly smiled and said: "This is easy to handle.
Just call me Mr.
Yang.
It shows respect and is normal.
I guess that The assistant spokesman has nothing to say."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You're welcome, sir."
In addition to Zhao Ziliang and Yang Yuhuan, there are also several literati here, including many world-famous writers and poets, such as the great calligraphers Li Yi and Zhang Xu, and the sword dancer Pei Wen.
Among them, Zhang Xu is a master of cursive script.
His cursive script, Li Bai's poems and Pei Wen's sword dance are known as the "three wonders" of the world.
After being introduced by Princess Yuzhen, Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr.
Li, who is famous all over the world, was also honored to meet two of the three most outstanding people in the world.
I wonder why Li Taibai was not in the second year of Tianbao.
Didn't he serve as an imperial edict?"
Are you in the hospital yet?”
Li Bai had been hanging around in Chang'an for many years and was recommended by Princess Yuzhen and others.
Xuanzong liked his talents at first and made him a minor official in the Hanlin Academy.
To put it bluntly, he was a royal scholar.
However, within a year, he I'm tired of this life of a royal scholar, Xuanzong sent people to summon him.
He often pretended to be drunk and could not go to court.
He drafted edicts while drunk and deliberately asked Gao Lishi to take off his boots.

This caused many people around Xuanzong to dislike him and slandered him in front of Xuanzong.
Therefore, Xuanzong began to alienate him.
Later he resigned and went to Luoyang.
Hearing Zhao Ziliang ask about Li Bai's situation, Princess Yuzhen sighed: "Oh, Taibai's temperament is too free and easy, and he can't get used to the life of the Hanlin Academy, and he is tabooed by Gao Lishi and others.
Therefore, Tianbao resigned in three years."
I did.
The last time I received a letter from him, he said that he met two very talented young people in Qilu.
One was named Du Fu and the other was named Gao Shi.
The three of them had similar interests and had a good conversation.
Li Beihai and Li Yi I saw them some time ago."
"I have heard about Du Fu and Gao Shi.
They are quite talented and learned."
When Zhao Ziliang heard the names of Du Fu and Gao Shi, he didn't know who these two people were.
There were many poets in the Tang Dynasty, but their names were passed down to later generations.
Not much, but Du Fu is known as the Saint of Poetry, and Gao Shi's reputation is not much different.
They are all well-known figures among the poets of the Mid-Tang Dynasty
