After Cui Guangyuan and Bian Lingcheng were beheaded, the tens of thousands of Chang'an people watching around the execution ground went crazy.
They shouted and tried to break through the soldiers' blockade and came forward to tear the two bodies into pieces.
The soldiers of the Beiting Army tried their best.
It was only through obstruction that the common people were blocked.
Zhao Ziliang stood up again and said loudly: "Fathers, please be quiet, be quiet.
Now the two thieves who caused trouble to Chang'an have been killed.
The bodies are here.
The people are dead and the fathers' revenge has been avenged.
It is useless to mess with the bodies.
It is better to let them be killed."
Let them rest in peace as soon as possible, let their sinful souls be reincarnated as soon as possible, and hope that they will be good people in the next life.
Our army is about to set out for the eastward expedition.
I hope that the fellow villagers will not interfere with our departure.
Everyone, please go back, everyone, please go back."
When the people heard what Zhao Ziliang said, they felt that their revenge had been avenged, and the anger in their hearts was gone.
Blocking here again would definitely affect the army's departure, so they turned around and dispersed, but did not leave, obviously wanting to watch the army go.
Set off.
Zhao Ziliang watched the soldiers send away the corpses and asked Li Siye: "Are the preparations for the departure of the army ready?"
Li Siye stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Commander Qi, the entire army is fully prepared and ready to move out at any time."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Okay, pass my order to the general.
The front army will be the first to move forward, left, middle, right and rear in order."
"It's an order."
Li Siye clasped his fists and agreed, then turned and left to convey Zhao Ziliang's order.
Zhao Ziliang said to Chu Ge and Zang Xiyan next to him: "You two must complete the handover of defense as soon as possible.
At this time tomorrow, Chu Ge and your troops must keep up with the main force."
"promise" Zhao Ziliang said to Cen Shen again: "The broken troops that have been gathered in these days must be reorganized and trained as soon as possible.
I am waiting for your good news on the front line."
Cen Shen, Zheng San and others all held up their hands and said: "Don't worry, Commander, we will do our best to ensure the supplies of the frontline soldiers and transport the troops in time."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, got on the war horse from the soldiers, and took the golden spiked Zaoyang spear.
He waved to the soldiers and his subordinate generals and other generals: "Let's go!"
A brand-new handsome flag was erected high, with a bright red word "Zhao" embroidered on the flag.
As the army camps set off one by one, the originally crowded camp began to become empty.
People stopped near the camp to watch the farewell.
The people of Chang'an kept waving to the soldiers who were leaving.
Even if they did not know anyone in the army, it did not hinder their hope that these Beiting Army soldiers would defeat the rebels.
After Zhao Ziliang's army left the Baqiao Camp, a fast horse in Chang'an City rushed out from the Jinguang Gate and galloped away to the west.
Maweiyi.
Xuanzong summoned all the officials accompanying him to discuss matters.
Since arriving at Maweiyi, although several ministers such as Yang Guozhong were killed, few of the accompanying ministers were harmed by the mutiny.
The government could still barely function here, and the official documents sent to the capital by officials from various places in the Tang Dynasty were basically All were sent here.
Although the office conditions were simple, Xuanzong organized his ministers to put the court back up again.
"The last thing is to send someone to urge the second batch of Hexi and Longyou troops who are still on the way to speed up their march and come as soon as possible.
I want to return to Chang'an as soon as possible and have these soldiers and horses escort me.
After I return to Chang'an, they will follow Zhao Ziliang went on an eastern expedition to quell the rebellion."
After Xuanzong finished speaking, he rubbed his temples and looked a little tired.

"In compliance with the order," Prime Minister Fang Guan agreed, and added: "There is one more thing I want to report to Your Majesty.
After our army recaptured Chang'an, Mr.
Wei of Jingzhao Prefecture sent someone to report that the Beiting Army searched the palace that night.
Cui Guangyuan and Bian Lingcheng are currently being detained in Jingzhao Mansion University.
In the prison, Jingzhao Mansion also joined forces with the army to conduct an inventory of the officials and nobles who surrendered when the rebels entered the city.
A total of 72 officials and nobles, big and small, were found.
How to deal with these people, especially Cui Guangyuan and Bian Lingcheng, please ask His Majesty to judge."
"Pa" Xuanzong was furious when he heard this.
He slapped the desk and said angrily: "These two evil thieves really deserve death.
Tell Wei E to send someone to keep them under strict guard.
I will take care of them when I return to Chang'an."
Fang Guan agreed: "I will obey the order."
At this time, a eunuch walked in quickly from outside, holding two memorials in his hands and saluting: "Your Majesty, Zhao Ziliang, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army, and Wei Er of Jingzhao Prefecture sent people to deliver the memorials."
Xuanzong, who was somewhat exhausted, had to cheer up and raised his hand and said: "Send it up."
Next to him, Gao Lishi walked over and presented the memorial to Xuanzong.
Xuanzong first opened Zhao Ziliang's memorial and read it again, and then opened Wei E's memorial and read it again.
His face suddenly looked unhappy.
He handed the two memorials to Gao Lishi and said : "Let me tell you the contents of the memorials of Zhao Ziliang and Wei E respectively."
"According to the decree," Gao Lishi agreed, took the two memorials, read them quickly, and then raised his head and said to the ministers: "My lords, Marshal Zhao said in the memorial that he received news a few days ago that the rebel leader An Lushan had sent Got it General Sun Xiaozhe under his command commanded an army of 100,000 people and set out from Luoyang to attack Chang'an.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Beiting Army had already rested and reorganized, Marshal Zhao sent his general Li Sheng with 5,000 troops to attack the area west of Tongguan first.
It only took a few days. , General Li Sheng captured Weinan, Huayin, and Feng Ling, and crossed the river to attack Pujing Pass successfully.
Marshal Zhao had sent 3,000 infantrymen to garrison at Pujing Pass overnight.
Yesterday, Marshal Zhao had led the main force of the Beiting Army to march eastward and decided to fight The rebel Sun Xiaozhe's 100,000-strong army used Cui Guangyuan and Bian Lingcheng's heads as a sacrifice to the flag before the army set off to boost morale.
This means that now the army has set off, and Cui Guangyuan and Bian Lingcheng have become dead souls. " "The memorial of Wei E of the Jingzhao Prefecture stated that regardless of the crimes of Cui Guangyuan, Bian Lingcheng and others, their life and death should be decided by His Majesty and executed by the court, and not by Zhao Ziliang, a warrior.
Zhao Ziliang's general Chu Ge did not go through him Agreeing, he forcibly took the two of them from Jingzhao Mansion Prison.
When he went to the military camp to dissuade him, he was threatened by Zhao Ziliang.
Wei Er said that this was a harbinger of martial arts interference in politics.
This trend must not increase, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
He impeached Zhao Ziliang and his soldiers in the memorial for being domineering and secretly killing important imperial prisoners, treating them as scholar-bureaucrats.
If you are a pig or a dog and ignore the laws of the court, your Majesty, please punish me."
After Gao Lishi finished speaking, the ministers immediately started talking.
"Ahem, Zhao Ziliang's memorial recounted the recent war and the military situation between the enemy and ourselves, and mentioned the use of the heads of Cui Guangyuan and Bian Lingcheng to sacrifice the flag before the main force of the army departed.
In the memorial, Wei Er impeached Zhao Ziliang and The soldiers under his command were domineering, privately killing important imperial prisoners, treating the scholar-bureaucrats like pigs and dogs, and ignoring the court's laws."
Xuanzong coughed twice, looked at Wei Jiansu, and asked: "Wei Xiang, what do you think of this?"
All the ministers looked at Wei Jiansu.
Wei Jiansu stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Wei E is the son of an old minister.
In order to avoid suspicion, it is better for the old minister not to make any comments."
Xuanzong glanced at Wei Jiansu, then looked at the other ministers: "What do you think?"
Fang Guan stood up and bowed his hands in salute: "Your Majesty, I think Wei E is making a fuss out of a molehill.
Now that the rebel army is approaching, it is natural that Marshal Zhao needs to kill a few people who deserve to be killed to boost morale before his army sets out.
Your Majesty, As I said just now, Cui Guangyuan and Bian Lingcheng deserve to die.
Although Marshal Zhao is suspected of killing first and showing off later, at this critical moment, everything cannot be done according to the rules.
When Marshal Zhao should be allowed to act easily, he must be allowed to do so easily.
Let’s talk about business, everyone has been killed, and they deserve to die.
Is Your Majesty going to hold Marshal Zhao accountable for this matter?

Now that the enemy is facing us, wouldn’t doing so chill the hearts of the soldiers at the front?
It doesn’t sound good to me.
Yes, Marshal Zhao and his soldiers are defending the enemy from the front, but he, Wei E, is stabbing the enemy from behind.
Don’t your Majesty and your lords think that this situation is exactly the same as when Bian Lingcheng slandered Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi behind their backs?"
The ministers were stunned by these words, Wei Jiansu's reaction was one of panic, and Xuanzong's face changed even more after hearing this.
He slammed the table and said angrily: "What does Wei E want to do?
I trust him so much, but he won't do anything serious." , but learned to drive a wedge between me and the general in front behind my back."
Wei Jiansu was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead for his son: "Your Majesty, please calm down.
Your Majesty, please calm down.
The old minister knows Quanzi very well.
He definitely has no intention of alienating Your Majesty and Marshal Zhao.
Your Majesty read the memorial.
Quan'er is just upholding the laws and regulations of the court.
I advise your Majesty not to be too indulgent towards Zhao Ziliang, and you have no intention of harming Zhongliang."
"Yes, His Majesty Wei E was ordered to do so at the critical moment.
He is well aware of the difficulty of the current national affairs.
He wrote this memorial out of the original intention of safeguarding the court and your Majesty."
Several ministers also stood up to intercede for Wei E.
Fang Guan snorted coldly: "Humph, I haven't remembered what you didn't say.
Wei E is just the governor of Jingzhao.
When did he have the right to be a censor?
So many censors in the court didn't say anything.
But he went beyond his duties, which is really good.
He also said that he would uphold the laws and regulations of the court.
I think he violated the laws and regulations first."
Wei Jiansu wanted to defend his son again, but Xuanzong didn't want to listen to him and directly slapped the table: "Okay, if Cui Guangyuan and Bian Lingcheng die, they will die.
It is not a pity to die.
I drafted an edict to reprimand Wei E and let him calm down."
Do your duty well, cooperate with the army to collect food and military pay, and don't cause trouble for others.
Move Li Sheng to the position of Huaihua Zhonglang General and the Imperial Censor."
"Follow the decree" After the small court meeting ended, Xuanzong returned to the guest room of the post station.
Seeing that he was in low spirits, Yang Yuhuan quickly got up and helped him sit down beside the Taishi chair.
He also asked the maid to bring tea and served him, and asked: "Your Majesty, are you very tired?
Why do you look like that?"
Somewhat unhappy” Xuanzong looked like he had a headache and said: "Hey, the court has never calmed down for a day.
How long has it been?
The ministers in the court are still fighting with each other.
No, Wei E wrote a memorial to impeach Zhao Ziliang, saying that he was domineering and ignored the court.
Laws and regulations, killing people indiscriminately":
