This mutiny against Xuanzong's power and prestige came to an end.
Zhao Ziliang didn't know what Xuanzong's real intention was.
He could only guess on his own, but no matter what, things finally calmed down.
Blocking so many soldiers and horses in the courtyard is not a solution.
Now that the matter has calmed down, these many soldiers and horses must be withdrawn.
Zhao Ziliang bowed to Xuanzong and said: "Your Majesty, since the Holy Master is safe and sound, I am afraid that there are so many soldiers and horses."
The crowd here has disturbed Your Majesty and Your Majesty’s rest.
Please grant permission for your Majesty to evacuate your troops and station your troops outside the inn to protect them.”
Xuanzong was very pleased.
Zhao Ziliang knew that his authority had been attacked just now.
This was to safeguard his authority, so he said: "Okay, Zhao Qing's family and Chen Qing's family, I ordered you to withdraw their troops and station them outside the post station.
Don’t disturb the people around you.”
Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli immediately agreed: "I obey the decree."
After the two stood up, they immediately issued military orders.
King Guangping and King Jianning in the Forbidden Army knew that the situation was over and it was difficult to do anything at this time.
They had already collected their weapons and withdrew to the outside of the post station along with other generals.
Due to Chen Xuanli's order, the Forbidden Army was no longer available.
Following the command of the two of them, Beiting and the Forbidden Army soldiers will withdraw from the small courtyard of the post station one by one.
After Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan entered the guest room of the inn, they remembered the thrill just now, and couldn't help but feel frightened.
They couldn't help but hug each other and cry bitterly.
The two cried bitterly for a while and comforted each other.
Then Yang Yuhuan said: "Sanlang, everyone says that when the country is in trouble, good generals are missed.
This statement was finally verified today.
If General Zhao and his son had not led the troops to protect him, I would have been afraid."
I will leave Saburo forever, and Saburo will also lose his authority in the future.
I don’t know what his fate will be.
Saburo must not be bewitched by greedy ministers and harm Zhongliang again."
Xuanzong patted Yang Yuhuan's hand and said: "Yuhuan, don't worry.
I was slack and confused before, so that I was deceived by Li Linfu, an old dog, and Yang Guozhong.
I will definitely keep my eyes open in the future.
Zhao Ziliang is a loyal minister.
I will not He will be treated badly.”
At this time, Gao Lishi came in and said: "Your Majesty, what happened just now has caused the Holy Emperor to be threatened.
The guards outside are worthy of trust, but after all, the Forbidden Army officers who guarded the Emperor have done some treacherous things.
To protect the safety of the Holy Emperor, , should it be replaced?”
Xuanzong pondered for a moment and said: "Except for the Forbidden Army, the soldiers outside are Zhao Ziliang's Beiting Army.
Now it seems that the only choice is to replace all the guards with Beiting Army officers.
Go and find Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli."
"I obey," Gao Lishi agreed and turned around and walked out.
Zhao Ziliang arranged for the soldiers to withdraw from the post station and stationed outside.
At this time, Chen Xuanli came over and said hello, clasping his fists: "Marshal Zhao, thank you Marshal Zhao for your intervention just now, otherwise Chen would have gone to see the Lord of Hell by now."
Zhao Ziliang knew that Chen Xuanli was talking about what happened just now when he used a weapon to knock the sword out of Chen Xuanli's hand.
He looked around, pulled Chen Xuanli to the wall of the inn, grabbed his breastplate and pushed it against the wall and shouted in a low voice: " If His Majesty hadn't spoken out in time, I wouldn't have bothered Save you, let you die, Chen Xuanli, we have been friends for sixteen years, tell me the truth, why did you do this?
You just killed Yang Guozhong, this thief deserved to die, why did you still kill him?
The target is pointed at the imperial concubine, how did she offend you?"

Chen Xuanli said with a wry smile: "Hey, brother Ziliang, to be honest, my original intention was just to get rid of Yang Guozhong.
When I had this idea, Li Mi who was next to His Highness the Crown Prince found me and said that His Highness the Crown Prince intended to hoe for the country. , please cooperate with me.
These three thousand forbidden troops were brought out by me personally.
If it were not for my consent, you would think Guang King Ping and King Jianning were able to mobilize them, but after killing Yang Guozhong, I didn't expect that things were out of my control.
King Guangping and King Jianning spread rumors in the army that they had killed Yang Guozhong's family and that the imperial concubine was his cousin. , the imperial concubine will definitely settle accounts in the future.
After hearing this rumor, the soldiers were frightened and worried.
I was being held accountable, so the soldiers, led by King Guangping and King Jianning, put pressure on me and demanded that the Holy Emperor be forced into the palace and that the imperial concubine be given death.
I wanted to oppose it at that time and tried my best to stop it, but it involved By the time the soldiers themselves were in danger, my words had little effect on them.
Even if I objected, it would not matter.
It has no effect at all, and the entire imperial army can only be controlled by King Guangping and King Jianning.
Even the Holy Emperor is in danger.
Between the Holy Emperor and the empress, I can only choose the Holy Emperor.
As long as the empress is dead, the soldiers will be relieved.
I After all, I am their general.
As long as I take the lead in safeguarding His Majesty's authority, the soldiers will definitely listen to me, and His Majesty will be safe."
After hearing what Chen Xuanli said, Zhao Ziliang let go of his hand and asked: "If according to your plan, after the death of the empress, aren't you afraid that the Holy Emperor will hate you to the bone from now on?"
Chen Xuanli's mouth turned bitter, he shook his head and said: "I couldn't care about so much anymore at that time."
After saying that, Chen Xuanli changed the topic: "Brother, you arrived just in time.
Not only did you protect the safety and authority of the Holy Master, but you also saved the empress.
This is a great achievement, but have you ever thought that it also laid a foundation for yourself?"
"disaster" Zhao Ziliang said calmly: "You mean that my appearance ruined the prince's plan?"
Chen Xuanli nodded and said: "Yes, this is nothing at first, but didn't you notice?
With the performance of the Holy One just now, he has obviously seen that the prince is the mastermind behind the mutiny, but the Holy One did not deal with the prince, his king Guangping, and the others on the spot.
King Jianning, don’t you think it’s strange?”
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said calmly: "It is not surprising that among the princes, only His Highness the Crown Prince has the ability to secure the throne.
Your Majesty is a wise king.
Do you think that Your Majesty will decide the future and destiny of the Tang Dynasty based on his personal likes and dislikes?
Your Majesty will be relieved when the whole thing is in the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince.
This is probably why His Majesty was so angry just now but still controlled his emotions and did not punish the Crown Prince, his father and his son."
Chen Xuanli was stunned and asked puzzledly: "Aren't you worried that after the prince ascends the throne, he will remember what happened today and settle the accounts with you?"
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and smiled calmly: "If we are afraid of wolves before we act and tigers later, what else can we accomplish?
Didn't you think too long before cooperating with the prince to launch a mutiny?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, someone called their names.
After hearing this, the two people came out of the darkness.
From the light of the torch, they saw that it was Gao Lishi who called them, so they walked over and clasped their fists together and said, "What did Eunuch Gao want me to do?"
When Gao Lishi saw Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli together, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Why are you together?"
Chen Xuanli said quickly: "Oh, that's it.
Our Forbidden Army soldiers have not had a grain of rice for a day and a night.
I asked General Zhao to borrow some food for the soldiers to fill their stomachs, so as not to cause trouble again."
When Gao Lishi heard this, he quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, we must not let anything happen again.
Your Majesty is an old man after all, and he can no longer bear the fright.
Marshal Zhao, if you have extra food and grass, give it to General Chen.
Wait until the Holy One orders the surrounding counties to transport grain and grass, and then I will return it to you."
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "After I heard the news that the Holy Master was here, I left the main force of the brigade and rushed here with only three thousand elite cavalry.

Each soldier only brought three days of dry food, so there is no excess.
If General Chen doesn’t dislike the food and fodder, I Let the soldiers distribute dry food for you for a day, and let the soldiers of the Forbidden Army fill their bellies first.
The main force of our army will arrive in the morning the day after tomorrow at the latest.
The food and grass they carry can last for another month.
It should be no problem to distribute some.
What do you think?"
Chen Xuanli quickly cupped his hands and said, "I can't say thank you for your kindness.
I will keep this favor in my heart."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand, looked at Gao Lishi again, and asked: "By the way, Eunuch Gao, are you here to see us?"
Gao Lishi slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, you see, I am old and my memory is not good, so I almost delayed my business.
Come on, your Majesty will give you two an audience."
"I see, then I'd better go to see the saint soon."
The three of them quickly walked into the inn and came to the guest room to see Xuanzong.
After the ceremony, Xuanzong asked the two of them to stand up and said: "Two gentlemen, the concubine was a little frightened by what happened tonight.
I want the Beiting Army to act as a guard."
Regarding the matter, the Forbidden Army will be responsible for peripheral security.
I don’t know what the two ministers think."
Zhao Ziliang glanced at Chen Xuanli, and Chen Xuanli knelt down on the ground again and said: "I am guilty of death.
After something like this happened, I and Long Wujun no longer have the dignity to serve as the guardians.
I ask your Majesty to allow me to lead Long Wujun."
The soldiers returned to Chang'an to fight the rebels to the death."
Xuanzong considered that Maweiyi only had a total of 6,000 troops.
If Chen Xuanli led the Longwu Army back to Chang'an to fight the rebels, on the one hand, it would reduce the strength of the guards, and on the other hand, it would be suspected of settling accounts after the fall, so he waved his hand and said: " I understand the intentions of the Chen Qing family, but the number of soldiers and horses guarding me is now very sparse.
If the Chen Qing family leads the troops away, and a large group of enemy troops come to attack, the three thousand light cavalry of the Zhao Qing family alone may not be able to withstand it.
This matter cannot be mentioned again.”
Chen Xuanli had no choice but to give up and said: "I obey the decree."
Xuanzong looked at Zhao Ziliang again and asked, "Zhao Qing's family, what do you mean?"
Zhao Ziliang clasped his fists and said: "Since Your Majesty is interested and General Chen agrees, the officers and soldiers of the Beiting Army are naturally willing to protect the safety of the Holy Emperor.
However, I have the duty of suppressing rebellion.
I am afraid that I will not be able to personally serve as the leading general to protect the Holy Emperor.
It is better to leave it to me.
The second son, Zhao Ting, will take charge of this matter for the time being."
Xuanzong thought of Zhao Ting's heroic appearance and liked it very much, so he said happily: "Okay, General Zhao Ting will be responsible for the safety of the Holy Driver.
I am very relieved to have someone come and announce General Zhao Ting's visit."
Zhao Ting was quickly called over, and Xuanzong asked: "Zhao Ting, I want you to be responsible for the protection of the Holy Driver, are you willing?"
Zhao Ting couldn't help but look at Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang nodded slightly.
Zhao Ting immediately said: "The general is willing."
Xuanzong laughed: "Okay, hahaha" He is seventy-one years old, and his smile is still so lively.
It seems that he is really well maintained.
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but murmured as he saluted
