Zhao Ziliang had the responsibility of commanding the army.
He could not leave the army without the emperor's permission.
It was he who served wine at the Marshal's Mansion in Huayin, commanding some of the generals in the army, the county magistrate of Huayin City, and the local elders.
Please come as a witness and take Mrs.
Meng into the house.
I didn’t expect that this news would come early.
As word spread, even Emperor Xuanzong, Yang Guifei, Zang Xiyan, Wang Chengguang and other military generals and some court ministers in Chang'an sent congratulatory gifts.
Zhao Ziliang had no choice but to accept them one by one.
Not long after, even Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Lu Jiong, Lai Ai and other generals sent people to express their congratulations.
In mid-December, Zhao Ziliang received news that the envoys sent by the imperial court to Yongqiu to announce the edict took great risks and broke through the rebel blockade and entered Yongqiu City to read the emperor's edict to Zhang Xun and others.
At this time, the rebel general Yin Ziqi sent a small force to brave the wind and snow to attack the towns between Yongqiu and Ningling, hoping to completely cut off Zhang Xun's retreat in Yongqiu.
However, due to poor weather conditions, the rebels There was little progress.
In view of the extremely bad situation and the emperor's imperial edict, Zhang Xun, together with his generals Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun and others, led more than 3,000 remaining troops in the city to break through the rebel siege and retreat to Ningling.
On December 16, Chang'an sent an envoy to convey the emperor's will, asking Zhao Ziliang to go to Beijing immediately to discuss the military situation.
Zhao Ziliang knew that things might have changed, so he bid farewell to the newly married Mrs.
Meng and set off for Chang'an with some soldiers.
On the 18th, Zhao Ziliang arrived in Chang'an after a long journey and went to the palace to meet Xuanzong.
When Xuanzong saw Zhao Ziliang coming, he ordered the high-ranking generals and several prime ministers in Chang'an to rush to the palace to discuss matters.
"Everyone has arrived."
Xuanzong looked at the generals, then picked up a few memorials on the imperial case and handed them to Gao Lishi and said to the generals: "Previously, the imperial court ordered Wu Wang Li Zhu, who was stationed in Pengcheng, and Linhuai's He Lan to enter the Ming Dynasty. and others sent troops to reinforce Xu Yuan, now this Several people wrote to refute, saying that they didn't have many troops in hand.
If they were sent to reinforce Xu Yuan, their territory would be empty.
These people only care about complaining and complaining, and don't understand the difficulties of the court at all.
It's disgusting, it's really disgusting.
All the ministers should take a look."
Several memorials were distributed to the prime ministers and generals.
Zhao Ziliang also got one.
It was a memorial written by Li Zhuan, King of Wu.
Li Zhuan's memorial said that he had less than 20,000 people in his hands, and Pengcheng was strategic.
Important territory, if the rebels come from the north Fang went south to attack Pengcheng.
If something happened to Pengcheng, the rebels could directly annex the northern Jiangsu area.
In this way, even Jiangnan would be seriously threatened.
Li Zhuan did not say that he would not send troops to reinforce Xu Yuan, but focused on the importance of Pengcheng.
Li Zhuan is the younger brother of Li Zhuang, the king of Xin'an who has been dead for many years.
He inherited the title of King of Wu.
Li Zhuan should inherit the title of King of Wu.
However, Li Zhuan was outstanding in talent and military exploits, so he was awarded the title of "King of Wu" by virtue of his own efforts.
The inheritance rights of King Xin'an and King Wu were given to his younger brother Li Zhuan.
Pengcheng is indeed a strategic location and must be heavily garrisoned.
Li Zhuan does not have many troops at hand, so it makes sense to send someone to send such a memorial.
However, several other prefects and generals could not shirk sending troops.
Seeing Zhang Xun When Xu Yuan was attacked by the rebels, he sat back and watched the fight.
This attitude was obviously problematic.
Xuanzong and others took turns reading several memorials and asked: "What do you think?"
Fang Guan first said: "Your Majesty, King Wu Li Zhuan indeed has an important responsibility and needs to garrison Pengcheng to prevent the rebels from taking Pengcheng and occupying Jiangbei, and then threatening Jiangnan.
Jiangnan is the important grain production area of our court, and there is no room for failure.

King Wu The consideration is not unreasonable.”
Wei Jiansu said at this time: "The point is not here.
The point is that after His Majesty's edict was issued, the first reaction of the ministers was not to comply with the order, but to cite various reasons to shirk.
Is it because the imperial court's control over the local area has lost its effectiveness, or is it the local government that has lost its effectiveness?
The officials and Prince Fan are becoming more and more courageous.
They don’t take the court and His Majesty seriously.
They can shirk or even bargain with the imperial edict, but what’s going on now?”
The words were like a bombshell, and the generals felt cold sweat break out on their foreheads, and Fang Guan couldn't say anything at this time.
After the Anlushan Rebellion, the imperial court's control over local officials and generals plummeted.
Although this situation is invisible, it does exist.
Even the taxes and grain sent to Chang'an from various places were either delayed for a long time or The number was seriously insufficient, and the decrees issued by the imperial court were not implemented very well in various places.
Xuanzong looked at everyone with a livid face, and rarely got angry, but asked: "Faced with this situation, what do you think should be done?"
Wei Jiansu said: "Your Majesty, I believe that killing one person will serve as a warning to others.
Recently, the imperial court urged Yang Sichang to transport Yangzhou's taxes and grain to the capital this year.
However, Yang Sichang kept delaying, and until now, it has not arrived.
According to reports, This person is recruiting in Jiangnan The scale and momentum of buying troops and horses is quite huge.
The An thieves are still in Henan, which is thousands of miles away from Yangzhou.
He has recruited tens of thousands of troops and horses without the permission of the court.
What does he want to do?
From the perspective of the veteran, since he Recruiting so many soldiers and horses must be intentional to kill If the enemy serves the country, it is better to order him to send his troops across the river and go north to Pengcheng to resist the rebels and see how he reacts.
Then let King Wu Li Zhuan lead his troops to the west to reinforce Xu Yuan.
Also, see how King Wu reacts, and give him some advice.
Ma Shouye, the governor of Yangzhou, sent a secret edict.
If Yang Sichang did not follow it, The imperial edict sent troops to cross the river and march north, but Ma Shouye was ordered to kill him.
After receiving Yang Sichang's troops and horses, he raised his troops and marched north to take over Yang Sichang's task.
If Yang Sichang obeyed the imperial edict and sent his troops to cross the river and march north, but the King of Wu did not move, he could order Yang Sichang to do so.
The troops approached Pengcheng and were ordered to seize the military power of King Wu."
Wei Jiansu's tactics were really ruthless.
The court could test the loyalty of these people without sending out any soldiers, and it could also eradicate the disloyal ones in one fell swoop.
If Yang Sichang obeys the imperial edict and sends his troops across the Yangtze River to go north, he will be transferred away from his hometown in the south of the Yangtze River and lose his foundation.
The court's control over him will also increase.
If the King of Wu obeys the imperial edict, he will have to send troops to reinforce Xu Yuan, stay away from Pengcheng, and directly fight with Yang Sichang.
It is impossible for the rebels to resist and preserve their strength.
Zhao Ziliang had to admit that although Wei Jiansu was a bit jealous of talents like Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu, he was indeed somewhat capable.
Xuanzong actually appreciated Wei Qingsu's suggestion.
He looked at Fang Guan, Zhao Ziliang and others and asked, "What do you think of Wei Qing's suggestion?"
Fang Guan said: "Wei Chen has no objection."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Wei Chen seconded the proposal."
Zhao Ziliang's reaction surprised both Wei Jiansu and Xuanzong.
Wei Jiansu and Zhao Ziliang have always been at odds with each other.
In the court, the two of them undermined each other.
Wei Jiansu often made Zhao Ziliang uncomfortable, or often spoke ill of Zhao Ziliang behind his back in front of Xuanzong.
Zhao Ziliang also just seizes the opportunity.
To give Wei Jiansu a hard blow, this time Zhao Ziliang actually agreed with Wei Jiansu's political views.
Isn't it strange?

Even Fang Guan felt a little strange.
Xuanzong asked with a smile: "Don't Zhao Qing and Wei Qing always have different opinions on political affairs?
Why did they agree with his suggestion today?"
Zhao Ziliang clasped his fists and said: "Wei Chen always only deals with things and not people.
Wei Chen thinks that someone's political opinions are not in line with the current status of the Tang Dynasty.
If the implementation will bring harm to the Tang Dynasty, of course Wei Chen will oppose it.
If it harms the Tang Dynasty, Wei Chen will It is beneficial, why should Wei Chen object?
Because Wei Chen knows very well that only when the Tang Dynasty is well, can Wei Chen be at peace.
Well, if the Tang Dynasty fell, Wei Chen would become the minister of the country's subjugation.
Wei Chen and his colleagues present had all worked hard for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and even worked hard for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty was like a house. , our ancestors built it brick by brick together with us.
This is our achievement and it should be It will always stand in the world.
Anyone who wants to destroy it is an enemy of us.
There are many people in the court who only focus on their own selfish interests.
They know that their political opinions are wrong.
In order to protect their right to speak in the court, they still have to Wrong to the end, this is not insisting on one's opinion, this is stupidity.
If you find that you are wrong, you can By not speaking or opposing, let the correct decree be implemented.
However, if you know that others are right and you are wrong, but still stand up and sing the opposite, this is to dismantle the stage.
If the stage of the Tang Dynasty is dismantled, No matter where you go to perform in an opera, if you can't figure out the logical relationship, what else are you going to do as an official?"
Zhao Ziliang's words were clearly a question back to the emperor, but in fact he was talking to other ministers.
Everyone present understood that it is okay to fight, but you must maintain a certain demeanor and don't tear down the table.
If the table is broken down, there will be no place for you to fight no matter how much you want to fight.
Xuanzong was very pleased to hear Zhao Ziliang's words.
This is the real overall situation.
Although Wei Jiansu admitted that Zhao Ziliang was right, he always felt uncomfortable in his heart and couldn't help but retorted: "How do you know you are right?"
"I didn't say that mine is definitely right, but I will definitely send people to investigate whether it is feasible before giving suggestions to His Majesty.
Only decrees that are beneficial to most people in the world are good, and only to a few people.
Government orders that are beneficial are definitely bad.
The popular will of the vast majority of the people is the general trend.
Direction: As a minister, I make suggestions to the emperor, but I will never prohibit other people's right to speak.
If it turns out that I am wrong, I will step aside and let you follow your suggestions, instead of going all the way.
Before a government order is issued, no one knows the results it will bring.
Only by trying it will you know.
Therefore, you must investigate clearly before implementing it, instead of blindly acting recklessly or doing it according to your own preferences.
As a court minister, your every move is related to the rise and fall of the world.
You should understand how great your responsibility is.
Only then can you It is political decree and governance.
Is politics just a matter of power?
It is one of the means to realize political ambitions.
Politics is to achieve better social security, to gradually improve people's living standards, and to make the country richer and stronger.
What good will it do if you win my fight?
The rebels are coming to kill you, but you are not You are still so scared that your buttocks are wet.
People everywhere are revolting, but you are still anxious and worried."
Zhao Ziliang's words caused Xuanzong and other ministers and generals to think deeply and reflect
