It was already very late when Zhao Ziliang came out of Yuzhen Temple, and Yang Yuhuan came out with him.
The two walked out of the temple while talking, but there was a middle-aged man in his forties standing at the door.
When he saw Yang Yuhuan, he came up to him anxiously and scolded: "Yuhuan, you really are, why did you stay here for so long and made me wait for a while?"
Under Zhao Ziliang's doubtful eyes, Yang Yuhuan introduced Zhao Ziliang: "General, this is my brother Yang Zhao."
She introduced to Yang Zhao again: "Brother, this is General Zhao Ziliang, the Marquis of Zhenbei."
Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered that Yang Zhao was the later Yang Guozhong.
He looked at Yang Zhao curiously, clasped his fists and said, "Uncle Guo, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Unexpectedly, Yang Zhao looked at Zhao Ziliang with a look of great pity after listening to Yang Yuhuan's introduction.
He didn't care that Zhao Ziliang didn't give him a big salute.
He just nodded as a greeting and said to Yang impatiently.
Yuhuan said: "Yuhuan, don't wait any longer.
Follow Brother Yu back to the palace as soon as possible.
Your Majesty has urged you several times."
After hearing this, Yang Yuhuan said to Zhao Ziliang with an apologetic look: "General Zhao, it's too late today.
Yuhuan will invite the general to come and sit in my Taizhen Temple another day."
Zhao Ziliang thought that in a few days he might be allowed by the emperor to remove his armor and return to his fields, becoming a commoner without official or title, so he said: "Zi Liang cannot agree to this.
I have written to His Majesty, asking to be removed."
The title, please grant your Majesty's approval.
Allowing me to beg for bones, remove my armor and return to the fields, this must be what many ministers in the court are happy to see.
If nothing happens, Ziliang will return to his hometown soon, and from now on, he will stay away from the disputes in the court and live a free and easy life.
It’s better to congratulate me now.”
Yang Yuhuan was startled when he heard this and frowned: "What are you saying, general?
Are the imperial court and your majesty really not worthy of your loyalty?"
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Mr.
Yang's words are wrong.
I, Zhao Ziliang, joined the army at the age of fifteen.
I have been in military service for more than ten years, fought hundreds of battles, and wandered about life and death for more than ten times.
Not to mention that the Tang army killed countless enemies under my command."
Count, that is, there are no enemies that I have killed with my own hands.
Ten thousand is already eight thousand, and my whole body is scarred.
It’s time to rest.
The most precious youth of my life has been dedicated to the Tang Dynasty.
Now there is no place for me in the court, so I might as well retreat bravely and spend the rest of my life.
It is happy to live a leisurely life in the fields."
Zhao Ziliang originally wanted to persuade Yang Yuhuan to pay more attention to Yang Guozhong and not let him play power and bring trouble to the court just because his cousin was a concubine, but then he thought about it and realized that it was not good to say this in front of Yang Zhao, and Yang Zhao Now he has just established a foothold in Chang'an, and he has not yet reached the stage of causing trouble for Chao Gang, so he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
Daming Palace.
Yang Yuhuan had just walked into the side hall of Zichen Palace.
Xuanzong looked up and greeted with a smile: "Yuhuan, you are back, come and have a look.
This Zhao Ziliang actually wrote me a letter saying that he had asked to deprive him of the title of Marquis of Zhenbei.
He said that he wanted to beg for bones and allow him to take off his armor and return to his fields.
Hey, he treated the title awarded by me as if he wanted to ask for it and cut it off or just begging for bones.
Isn't it ridiculous that he is just begging for bones at such an old age?
He thought I was easy to fool."
Yang Yuhuan seemed not to hear him, and sat silently beside him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xuanzong talked for a while and found that something was wrong with Yang Yuhuan's mood.

He quickly said: "Yuhuan, what's wrong with you?
Is someone bullying you?
Tell me and I'll chop off his head."
Yang Yuhuan sighed: "Are official positions and titles really so attractive?
Why do people in the officialdom not hesitate to sharpen their heads and climb up in order to get a higher position, and even go to any lengths?
I remember that in the beginning, even the so-called Li Taibai, a poet immortal, did not hesitate to make friends in order to gain His Majesty's appreciation.
Princess Yuzhen, but today I saw someone who was completely the opposite.
Your Majesty, how far do you think a person must be forced to ask for his title to be removed, or to pray for retirement and return to his hometown to avoid disaster?
I do this because I am extremely disappointed with certain people or certain things.”
"Yuhuan, what do you mean?
Why didn't I understand?"
Xuanzong frowned, and suddenly understood who Yang Yuhuan was talking about, and asked, "You are talking about Zhao Ziliang?"
Yang Yuhuan nodded, "Just now at Yuzhen Temple, I asked him to come and sit in my Taizhen Temple in a few days, but he said goodbye to me.
Your Majesty, you have dismissed all his official positions that day.
With his Judging from his military exploits and mistakes he made , this kind of punishment is severe enough, you can no longer hold him accountable for this matter, and now he has written a letter asking to be stripped of his title, asking for permission to remove his armor and return to his fields.
The court cannot make things more difficult, otherwise it will be difficult to block the world. mouth" Unexpectedly, Xuanzong slapped the case and said angrily: "This Zhao Ziliang, what does he mean?
Are I and the court so terrible and unworthy of his loyalty?"
Yang Yuhuan watched Xuanzong getting angry without saying a word.
Xuanzong then realized that he had lost his temper and asked, "Yuhuan, why are you looking at me like that?"
After a long time, Yang Yuhuan stood up and walked out.
After walking a few steps, he stopped and said without looking back: "Your Majesty, you have too much power.
You can decide life or death with just one word.
That's all for ordinary people, but people like Huangfu People like Wei Ming and Zhao Ziliang are frontier generals, important ministers of the imperial court, and important weapons of the country.
How can you decide their future, life and death based on your own preferences when dealing with people like this?
Those who are shaking the country's foundation.
Even if they are at fault, they should investigate and collect evidence first.
After the matter of finding out the truth and judging General Huangfu in accordance with national law has passed, we will not talk about it.
Now that Zhao Ziliang's matter is clear, His Majesty is dragging his feet.
The delay in making a decision caused some people in the court to jump up and down to criticize, which made people panic.
The concubine was so bored in the palace that she left the palace and returned to her parents' home to rest for a few days."
After hearing this, Xuanzong immediately got up and chased after him: "Yuhuan, Yuhuan".
But Yang Yuhuan quickly left the Zichen Palace and took the personal maid out of the palace quickly.
Yang Yuhuan's words caused Xuanzong to ask himself, had he really gone too far?
Yang Yuhuan's reaction also made Xuanzong a little angry.
She actually left the palace just because of Zhao Ziliang.
How could she rely on me to pamper her and dare to show her temper in front of me and then leave as soon as possible.
I don't care about it.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, there was heavy snowfall.
It rained continuously in Chang'an City for several days.
The snow on the road was up to the knees, making it impossible for cars and horses to pass.
The New Year is coming soon, and everywhere in Chang'an is filled with New Year's celebrations, but the palace is lifeless.
In the past half month, Xuanzong's temper has become more and more violent.
In recent days, he has ordered several people to be killed.
A eunuch who got into bad luck, even Gao The warriors were all frightened and had to serve them with extreme caution.
Everyone in the palace knew that all these things happened because Yang Yuhuan left the palace and returned to her parents' home.

She ignored Xuanzong and even sent All the gifts sent by people were sent back.
"Hmph, everyone is a loser and a waste.
They can't handle this matter well.
Come here, take off your clothes and beat them to death with sticks."
Xuanzong pointed at a eunuch who was kneeling on the ground and shouted.
Several imperial guards flashed out of the door and immediately stepped forward and dragged the eunuch out.
The eunuch shouted: "Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life."
Gao Lishi, who had just walked to the entrance of the palace with a bunch of memorials, saw this and looked at several memorials in his hand.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
However, these memorials could not be given to the emperor for inspection.
He He shook his teeth and stepped into the hall.
"Your Majesty, the Political Affairs Hall has sent some memorials.
Please read them."
Gao Lishi walked over and presented them with both hands.
Xuanzong waved to Gao Lishi with a straight face and said: "You read it, I will listen."
"No."
Gao Lishi agreed, opened the first memorial, read it aside, and said: "Your Majesty, this memorial says that after Luo Xishi impeached Wang Ju and was demoted to Jianghua County, he often verbally criticized your Majesty and the imperial court.
Wang Ju was so frightened by the disrespect that he swallowed medicine and committed suicide.
However, he took too little medicine in a hurry.
Before he died, Luo Xixi went to Jianghua County to verify the matter.
Wang Ju was frightened and hanged himself."
"Why is Wang Ju dead?
Come and show me."
Xuanzong stood up in shock.
The memorial soon reached Xuanzong's hands.
After Xuanzong read it, he fell down on the throne and remained silent for a long time.
Wang Ju's death was a great blow to Xuanzong.
Wang Ju was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
In fact, he had not committed any serious crimes before.
Li Linfu secretly instigated Luo Xishi to arrest and frame Wang Ju.
There were all witnesses and material evidence.
Xuanzong could not protect him too much.
So he was demoted to Jianghua County, but he didn't expect that the yin and yang would be separated after only a few days.
Gao Lishi read it over and said: "Your Majesty, this is a letter from Lai Gui, the Protector of Beiting Protectorate and the envoy of Xingying Jiedu.
He said that he was seriously ill and could no longer manage.
In order not to delay the military and political affairs of Beiting, please ask Your Majesty Re-appoint senior officials to take over the posts of Beiting Protector and Xingying Jiedushi , In addition, he also reported that the Xigelulu people in the northwest of Beiting are now a little unstable.
On the eighth day of October, Xigelulu's troops actually sent troops through the Tuqi Shi Wuchu Land Department to attack Xilin Shouchu. , the guarding envoy Helan Luobi and his following soldiers all killed more than a thousand people in the battle."
Xuanzong asked: "Didn't he recommend anyone to take over?"
Gao Lishi shook his head and said, "It wasn't mentioned in his petition."
Xuanzong thought for a while and told Li Bi, who was sitting on the side of the hall waiting for the imperial edict, "give Lai Zhen a reply and tell him to hold on for a while.
When a suitable candidate is found, I will send him to replace him and draft another edict."
The title of Marquis of Zhenbei will be removed from Zhao Ziliang, and he will be demoted to be the governor of Xilin, Beiting Protectorate.
He will take office immediately after the Lantern Festival next year.
There must be no mistake."
Li Mi was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and quickly agreed: "I obey the order."

Xuanzong muttered something: "Huh, you are thinking very well when you want to go back to your hometown to take care of your old age at a young age.
Is it easy for me, the emperor, to do that?
You want to go back to your hometown to take care of your old age, but I won't let you
