Chapter 724: Li Bai is released from prison


After regaining Luoyang, Zhao Ziliang, the coach, had a lot more things to do.

He was almost too busy every day to kick his heels.

On the one hand, he had to send troops to investigate the movements in the direction of Xingyang, and he also had to communicate with the Lu Jiong tribe in the south and the Wang Dynasty in the north of the Yellow River.

It was rare to contact him, so he had to send people to Yingchang to check the situation, and at the same time, he had to send people to monitor the rebel Yin Ziqi's tribe.

These were all external affairs, and internal affairs were even more complicated.

Most of the territories around Luoyang were quickly surrendered.

On the one hand, Zhao Ziliang had to re-appoint temporary officials in these towns and surrender prisoners.

He also had to write a successful report to the court when he found time.

After Chang'an received the good news sent by Zhao Ziliang, the government and the public were full of joy.

Now the two capitals have been recovered, and most of the rebels have rushed to Hebei.

Only a small part of Henan is still in the hands of the rebels.

Affected by the news of the victory, Emperor Xuanzong was very happy.

He ordered a grand royal banquet in the palace.

Officials of fifth rank and above in Chang'an City were allowed to attend.

At the same time, Xuanzong also issued an amnesty to the world.

After five days of busy work, Zhao Ziliang finally straightened things out and felt much more relaxed.

Most of the things were arranged and had his subordinates doing them.

On May 13th, Zhao Ziliang had a rare moment of leisure.

He took his soldiers to the streets of Luoyang to inspect the folk customs and market conditions.

After a few days of relaxation, the Luoyang market began to become prosperous again, although it was not as prosperous as before the rebellion broke out.

Although the rebels are still in Xingyang and war may break out at any time, Luoyang's market has begun to regain prosperity.

No matter how dynasties change, people must eat, wear clothes, and survive.

In the afternoon, Zhao Ziliang returned to the county government with his soldiers.

Chu Ge came up to him and said with fists in his arms: "Commander, the corpses of Brother Shuhan and more than 80 generals have been stored in the garden for several days.

If they are stored any longer, they will rot.

It’s so bad that the general suggested that we bury it immediately.”

Zhao Ziliang asked: "Brother Shu Yao hasn't arrived yet?"

A clerk next to him replied: "I am already on the road.

According to the itinerary, I should have arrived at Shaanxi County.

If I hurry up, I should be able to arrive tomorrow morning."

Zhao Ziliang ordered: "Then wait one more day, Chu Ge, and ask the people below to think of a way to make the body rot as slowly as possible."

Chu Ge agreed: "The general will eventually understand."

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "Forget it, everything is fine, I still go to meet my brother Shu Han.

I can't let go of our friendship for many years."

"The last general will lead the way, the marshal please" Although Ge Shuhan was stained because he surrendered to Anlu Mountain, this does not negate his contribution to the military of the Tang Dynasty, such as recovering Shibao City, recovering the Nine Bends of the Yellow River, and establishing the Wanxiu and Shence armies.

These are all great achievements, and no one can deny this.

The next day, May 14th, Ge Shuhan's son Ge Shu Yao arrived in Luoyang.

"Nephew pays homage to the handsome man."

Brother Shu Yao bowed respectfully.

In terms of seniority, Ge Shu Yao should be the grandson of Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang had met Ge Shu Yao several times.

Since the two were about the same age, Zhao Ziliang asked him to call himself his nephew.

Ge Shu Han was excellent in martial arts, but Ge Shu Yao was a full-fledged civil servant, not proficient in martial arts, but quite good in talent and learning.

Moreover, several of Ge Shu Yao's sons are now studying, and none of them practice martial arts.

Therefore, Ge Shu Han's martial arts skills have been passed down.

"Get up, brother Shu Yao.

I want you to come here this time, mainly to let you see the last side of your father.

Although your father had stains during his lifetime, he also made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

No one can erase this from me.

I have already sent a letter to the court, suggesting that your father be brought to justice as originally intended.

I came to the county to be buried according to the title of the king, but the court rejected my suggestion and only allowed the burial according to the specifications of the general.

Since your father's body has been stored for too long, it will rot if it is put down again, so it is best to bury it immediately. , look at it” Ge Shuyao said: "Everything depends on the commander-in-chief.

My nephew has no other ideas."

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Okay, in that case, the burial ceremony will be held tomorrow.

I have sent people to find a place with good feng shui as a cemetery.

After the ceremony tomorrow, the burial will be held.

You go and see your father first."

"Yes, Marshal" On May 15th, Ge Shuhan and more than 80 of his slain generals were all buried in a general-level funeral ceremony.

After the burial, Zhao Ziliang and Ge Shuyao returned to Luoyang County Government Office, and the two had a conversation.

Zhao Ziliang asked: "What are your plans for the future?"

Ge Shu Yao smiled bitterly and said: "Although my nephew has an official title, he is currently idle at home because of his father.

I am afraid that no one in the imperial government will dare to use me."

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Your father is your father, and you are you, how can we confuse them with each other?

Besides, although your father has stains, he has not harmed the country of Tang Dynasty.

There is no clear rule in the court that does not allow you to do things, so Well, if you want to go out and do something, I will recommend it to you.

Now that Li Guangbi is lacking a deputy, I recommend you to be Li Guangbi’s deputy.

What do you think?”

Ge Shuyao's eyes turned red, tears welled up in his eyes, and he quickly bowed his head to the ground: "Thank you so much, Marshal.

My nephew will definitely live up to the Marshal's expectations."

Zhao Ziliang stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Do a good job."

After seeing off his brother Shu Yao, Zhao Ziliang returned to the county government office and continued to handle official duties.

Not long after, Du Fu came in and reported: "Commander, Li Qinglian has been sent to Luoyang and is currently being held in Luoyang Prison.

Would you like to see him, Commander-in-Chief?"

he" Zhao Ziliang looked at the many official documents that needed to be processed and said, "Let's go to the prison and pick him up.

I'll ask someone to cook some more dishes in the evening and you can bring him over."

"Yes, Marshal" Du Fu got Zhao Ziliang's permission and immediately rushed to the county prison with an entourage.

After showing the prison chief the official document for extracting the prisoner, he was led by the prison chief into a smelly prison.

At this time, Li Bai was already withered, with a head full of black and white hair, and his beard was also white.

Du Fu couldn't believe it when he saw Li Bai's appearance, "Qinglian layman, why are you so thin?

Du Fu came late, he came late."

Du Fu's face was full of tears, which made Li Bai feel a warm current in his heart.

He struggled to get up with the iron chain in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Du Zhimei, why are you here to make you laugh?"

Du Fu wiped his tears and shook his head and said: "What you said is wrong.

Who doesn't encounter difficulties in life?

After you were taken into prison in Xunyang, many people tried to rescue you, but the attitude of Chang'an was very firm.

Later, Your uncle-in-law learned that I was with Marshal Zhao As a staff member, he sent a fast horse to see me and asked me to ask Marshal Zhao to come forward.

Marshal Zhao intervened in the name of the military.

Only then did he take you out of Xunyang Prison.

Come on, the Marshal heard that you arrived in Luoyang.

I have prepared a little wine, and I plan to treat you to a drink in the evening."

Li Bai asked: "The Marshal Zhao you are talking about is Zhao Ziliang" "Yes" "I heard that you have been working as an official in Chang'an, why did you suddenly become Zhao Ziliang's staff?"

"Hey, this matter is hard to explain in words.

Let's talk about it while walking."

"Where are I going?

I'm guilty now, how can I get out?"

Du Fu took out the acquittal document signed by Zhao Ziliang and handed it to Li Bai, and said with a smile: "The layman is fine now.

This is the release document, signed by Marshal Zhao himself.

Luoyang has just been recovered, and there are no government officials, so military control is implemented.

Now it is Marshal Zhao has the final say.

If you wait until the official takes office, even Marshal Zhao will have no choice.

Take it, I will take you to wash up, eat something to fill your stomach, and then go see Marshal Zhao at night."

Li Bai sighed very much: "Well, I really want to thank my dear brother Zhimei for helping me this time.

Otherwise, I would have ended up in Xunyang Prison."

The two came out of prison.

Du Fu took Li Bai to an inn and asked for a room.

It took an hour to wash up.

When Li Bai came out of the room wearing a brand new robe, his whole mental outlook had changed drastically. change.

Du Fu asked for a few stacks of snacks on the first floor of the inn.

When he saw Li Bai coming out after washing, he quickly invited him to enjoy them.

While eating snacks and drinking tea, the two talked about what they had said and heard over the years, and their views on the situation.

Analysis and opinion.

The conversation lasted until dark.

Du Fu turned around and saw that it was already dark.

He hurriedly greeted: "Father, we have to hurry.

I'm afraid the commander is already waiting for this.

Come on, hurry up.

Look, I've forgotten the time." " The two of them hurried to the county government office, and after being informed, they went to the backyard.

There was already a table in the inner hall, which was already filled with wine and food.

The soldier led the two people in and said: "You two, please sit down for a moment, I will go and ask for the commander."

Soon, Zhao Ziliang came out from behind the screen and said with a smile: "Haha, layman Qinglian, I haven't seen you for many years, you are becoming more and more immortal."

The two stood up quickly, and Li Bai couldn't help but smile bitterly, and cupped his hands and said: "What an immortal spirit?

It can be described as almost withered.

I have been wandering around for these years and have achieved nothing.

If the commander hadn't reached out to save me this time, I'm afraid my old bones would have been destroyed."

Stopped in jail"

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Don't mention the rescue anymore.

It's just a little effort.

The food and wine are all served.

Let's eat and chat.

It's been a long time since I heard a layman recite poetry.

We must have a feast tonight."

Li Bai cupped his hands and said: "After this experience, I am quite emotional.

I came across a song, and I was about to talk about the beauty of harmony with the commander."

The three of them sat down immediately, drinking and chatting, and there were several singing girls sitting next to them.

Zhao Ziliang listened to Li Bai and Du Fu each compose two poems on the spot, and he admired them very much.

Composing poems is not a big deal.

It's really not something ordinary people can do.

Most of Du Fu's poems describe reality, while most of Li Bai's poems express a sense of escapism and negativity.

It can be seen that reality had a great impact on him.

After talking about the poem, Du Fu said: "The layman is now free.

I don't know what the layman's plans will be in the future."

Li Bai sighed: "I have always wanted to do things for the imperial court, but the imperial court always does not use me.

Now that I am here, I would like to ask the marshal to recommend me."

Hearing this, Zhao Ziliang touched his short beard and said: "It's no problem to recommend.

I admire the layman's talent in poetry, but being an official and writing poetry are completely unrelated.

I don't know how a layman can be an official."

Talent, let's do this.

Now the counties and counties around Luoyang are implementing military control.

I can let them pass.

As a county magistrate, if a layman can govern a county well, I will recommend you to be a county magistrate.

If a layman can govern a county well, I will recommend you to be a prefect.

If a layman can govern a state well, I will recommend you to the imperial court.

As a minister, if the layman has the talent of a prime minister, I will recommend you to the emperor to be a prime minister, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Li Bai felt angry and said to himself, "You have made it clear that you look down on me.

I still don't believe that I can't even be a county magistrate."

So he agreed: "Okay, I don't know which county the commander wants me to go to."

Zhao Ziliang said: "You can choose any of the counties surrounding Luoyang, but you can only choose once.

Once you choose, you cannot change it."

Li Bai said: "Then I choose Luoyang County" Zhao Ziliang and Du Fu were both stunned when they heard this.

Zhao Ziliang then smiled and said: "Okay, tomorrow I will ask someone to move the commander's mansion to another place.

The day after tomorrow, you can come to me to get the official appointment document and seal.

This county government will be your territory from now on.

It’s up to you how long you can sit still.” s: Hello everyone, my new book The Blood-stained Song Dynasty has been released.
