After actually becoming an official, Li Bai felt that it was not easy to be an official.
There were too many things to worry about.
He was responsible for the eating, drinking, and drinking of the county officials and minor officials under his command, and he was responsible for governing the people.
Everything in his life was directed at him.
During the period of resettling refugees, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep.
"Being an official is not easy," Li Bai said with emotion.
Marshal's Mansion.
After Zhao Ziliang finished handling his official duties, he stretched, looked at Du Fu who was copying official documents next to him, and asked: "Counsellor Du, how have County Magistrate Li been doing these days?"
When Du Fu heard Zhao Ziliang's question, he put down his pen and replied: "County Magistrate Li has slowly entered the state.
He has been dealing with the resettlement of refugees these days."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Li Bai has the heart and ambition to do things for the people, which is good.
His shortcoming is that he is too ambitious and has no practical experience in doing things.
You must know that being an official is not just about doing things.
Just think about it with your head."
Du Fu said: "The commander-in-chief is right."
At this time, Wang Can rushed in and clasped his fists and said: "Commander, urgent military information, news came from Yingchuan.
The rebel general Yin Ziqi sent a cavalry to suddenly raid the south gate of Yingchuan City, and then the rebels invaded Yingchuan City in large numbers. , Xue Yuan, the prefect of Yingchuan, and others were killed.
Wang Sili and others led troops to fight with the rebels in the city.
After fighting for a day and night, they were outnumbered and had to lead their troops to break out in the direction of Ruzhou."
Zhao Ziliang's expression changed, and he stood up involuntarily, walked to the wall, looked at the map, and said, "Yin Ziqi is quite capable.
The situation is so unfavorable to the rebels.
He actually dared to send troops to raid Yingchuan.
Xue Yuan and others were careless.
Wang Si Where is the Ministry of Rites now and how many people are there?"
Wang Can said: "We have retreated to Ruzhou, there are still 12,000 people left, and we have lost more than 8,000 people."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and shouted to the messenger: "Come here, order Li Siye who is stationed in Dengfeng to lead 50,000 troops to march to Xinzheng, order Lai Ai to lead the army to approach Suiyang, and order Lu Jiong's troops to approach Yingchuan."
After the rebel Yin Ziqi's troops captured Yingchuan, they could form a line with Gao Shang, An Shouzhong, Tian Qianzhen, Niu Tingjie and others in Xingyang to the north.
They would be mutual horns.
The two sides could reinforce each other at any time.
But if Li Siye captured Xingyang Xinzheng between Yingchuan and Yingchuan is equivalent to cutting off the connection between the two rebels.
If Yin Ziqi does not want his 300,000 troops to be surrounded, he will definitely abandon Yingchuan and retreat to Bianzhou, or forcibly open up the connection with Xingyang.
Two days later, Li Siye's 50,000 elite troops, who received orders from Zhao Ziliang, marched eastward to Xinzheng, and Lu Jiong's troops from Ruzhou in the south also approached Yingchuan.
On May 28th, the vanguard of Lu Jiong's tribe encountered Yin Ziqi's rebels thirty miles west of Yingchuan.
The two sides fought a bloody battle.
Due to lack of troops, Lu Jiong's tribe suffered a slight defeat and retreated thirty miles to wait for the main force of the army.
The rebel Yin Ziqi tribe also felt unprecedented pressure.
At this time, news came from Suiyang in the east that Lai Yi tribe was making a comeback and Xinzheng was being attacked.
Yin Ziqi had to send 50,000 people north to reinforce Xinzheng.
Fortunately, the distance between the two places was not very far.
It only took the army two days to arrive.
It was considered that Xinzheng was defended in time and the connection between Xingyang and Yingchuan was preserved. , but at this time the rebels were already under attack from two sides.
Although Yin Ziqi sent out surprise troops to capture Yingchuan at this time, he still could not reverse the overall strategic unfavorable situation of the rebels.
Chang'an, Daming Palace.
Zhao Ziliang regained Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the situation of countering the rebellion was good.
If this continues, the end of the rebels is not far away.

This contribution is not small.
The court will reward Zhao Ziliang and his soldiers no matter what, but The imperial court had different opinions on the strength of the reward, and the subordinates kept arguing and remained undecided.
Xuanzong also had some difficulty deciding on this matter.
On the one hand, because Zhao Ziliang now had too much military power, he did not doubt Zhao Ziliang's loyalty, but he was worried that Zhao Ziliang would be coerced or bewitched by his generals.
On the other hand, his official position had reached the top, and the military general had been promoted to Tai Lieutenant, already below one person and above ten thousand people, can no longer be promoted.
On the first day of June, after the court meeting, Xuanzong left the prime ministers Wei Jiansu, Fang Guan, Cui Yuan, Cui Huan, Zhang Hao, Miao Jinqing and others to discuss the rewards for Zhao Ziliang and his generals.
Xuanzong said: "Since the recapture of Luoyang, the imperial court has been slow to decide on the reward for Zhao Ziliang and his generals.
This matter cannot be delayed any longer.
It must be determined within today.
What do you think?"
Several prime ministers looked at each other.
Cui Huan, the minister of Huangmen and Pingzhangshi of Tongzhongshumen, stood up and bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Ziliang's official title has been promoted.
If he wants to be rewarded, he can only give him a title."
Xuanzong asked: "What title do you think it would be best to give him?"
Wei Jiansu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, even Zhao Ziliang himself once said that the reward span should not be too large.
He did not have a title before, but now he can be made a marquis."
Zhang Hao stood up and shook his head and said: "It's wrong, it's very wrong.
Zhao Ziliang had been canonized as a marquis many years ago, but for some reasons, the marquis was taken away from him at that time.
Now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face to make him a marquis again?"
I wonder if it were you, Xiang Wei, would you feel comfortable?"
When Zhao Ziliang was deprived of his title of marquis, most of these people had held official positions in the court, but their official positions were not high, but they were all aware of the matter.
Fang Guan also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, everyone, Shu Han or Zhao Ziliang, whoever has great military exploits and ability, Shu Han can be granted the title of Prince of Xiping County, but Zhao Ziliang is granted the title of Marquis.
Zhao Ziliang may not think it matters, but his subordinates Where is the general?"
Xuanzong thought for a while and said: "Then make him the county king.
His ancestral home is Jiangling, so he can make him the county king of Jiangling."
Wei Jiansu said: "The veteran thinks it is feasible, but according to the current progress of the counter-insurgency and the current situation, the veteran believes that Zhao Ziliang should be allowed to step down from the military power for the time being.
Seeing that the rebels are not far away from being destroyed, let Zhao Ziliang step down from the military power at this time.
On the one hand, He can be allowed to take over the negotiation issues with Tibet.
This is a big deal and he is the one who made the decision.
It would be best to recruit someone and let him be responsible for this matter; on the other hand, it is also to protect him.
His current military power is too great.
Of course, His Majesty and his ministers believe that his loyalty will not be a problem, but there is no guarantee that he will not He was deceived and bewitched by his subordinates, so the old minister suggested that Zhao Ziliang temporarily take back his military power and select another capable person to take over the counter-insurgency affairs."
"What do the ministers think?"
Xuanzong asked.
The prime ministers really couldn't decide whether to agree or not.
Everyone knew that Xuanzong really didn't want to see Zhao Ziliang have too much military power.
This was not a matter of distrust.
It was the instinct of the emperor to prevent ministers from having too much power and harming the country.
But if you agree with Wei Jiansu's suggestion, if you say it nicely it's for Zhao Zi's good, if it's not nice it's like killing a donkey and burning a bridge across a river.
Anyone can be a good person, but it's not that easy to be a bad person.
Neither Fang Guan nor Zhang Hao made a sound.
Cui Yuan, Cui Huan and Miao Jinqing expressed their agreement one after another.
After thinking for a long time, Xuanzong issued an order: "Consecrate Zhao Ziliang as the Prince of Jiangling County and transfer him back to Chang'an to take charge of the affairs of Tibet.
Appoint Yulin General Wang Chengye as Marshal of the Eastern Expedition to Counter Rebellion, and rush to Luoyang to take up the post from now on."
It can be seen from the appointment that Wang Chengye's position is Marshal of the Eastern Expedition to Counter Rebellion, not Deputy Marshal of Soldiers and Horses.

There is no relevant wording that he is fully responsible for counter-insurgency matters, and his authority and duties are much smaller.
The edict was delivered to the Marshal's Mansion in Luoyang on the fourth day of June.
Zhao Ziliang led the generals and officials to kneel down and listen to the eunuch Yu Chaoen read out the edict.
"Prince Zhao, please accept the edict."
Yu Chaoen smiled and handed over the edict.
Before Zhao Ziliang reached out to take the edict, Bai Xiaode stood up suddenly and shouted: "What kind of bullshit edict is this?
The great cause of counterinsurgency has just been launched, and the imperial court is about to seize the military power of the commander-in-chief.
Is this what he wants to do?
To cross the river and demolish the bridge, or is he talking about it?"
The cunning rabbit is dead, and there must be a traitor in the palace.
Commander-in-Chief, why don't we raise troops and return to the side of Qingjun in Chang'an, kill all the traitors first, and then come back to put down the rebellion.
Like now, I'm waiting in the front and fighting bloody battles.
There are always people stabbing knives in the back.
This battle can't be fought.
They are treating everyone like this today.
Handsome, who knew they wouldn’t treat me like this tomorrow?”
Yu Chaoen was frightened and said quickly: "General, calm down, calm down.
You must not be rash.
The court also has its own considerations.
Besides, didn't the court confer Marshal Zhao as the Prince of Jiangling?"
It’s no big deal, and the imperial court treats Marshal Zhao very well.”
Chu Ge said coldly: "Humph, what you say is better than what you sing.
What's the use of a short-term prince?
What I'm worried about is that the imperial court has taken away the military power of the commander-in-chief today.
Who knows that he will not issue an order to demote the commander-in-chief to a remote place in the future?"
In the region, another edict was issued to kill the commander-in-chief, repeating the mistakes of Huangfu Weiming, Wang Zhongsi and others."
Li Sheng stood up and shouted: "What's the point of talking about this?
Look, I chopped down this dog eunuch with a knife.
After raising an army to Chang'an and killing all the traitorous officials, the court became quiet.
Only in this way can we put down the rebellion with peace of mind."
The sharp steel knife was drawn out, and with a flash of cold light, Yu Chaoen was so frightened that he peed on his buttocks.
He crawled to the ground and knelt down at Zhao Ziliang's feet: "Commander, help me, no matter what happens to the slaves, it's all Wei Jiansu."
That old dog came forward to slander His Majesty.
Cui Yuan, Cui Huan, Miao Jinqing and other prime ministers all agreed.
I am just an errand boy.
This matter has nothing to do with me."
Zhao Ziliang frowned and waved his hand to Li Sheng: "What's the point of killing him?
Put the knife away."
Li Sheng glared at Yu Chaoen fiercely, put away his sword and stepped aside.
Zhao Ziliang took the edict from Yu Chaoen, opened it and read it.
He closed his eyes and was silent for a cup of tea before opening his eyes again and said to Yu Chaoen: "Eunuch Yu, you have nothing to do here.
You go back first."
Chang'an, I have received the edict and will return to Chang'an after I have arranged things here."
"Thank you, Marshal, thank you Marshal!"
Yu Chaoen got Zhao Ziliang's permission, but he couldn't stay any longer.

He immediately ran out of the Marshal's Mansion and called on his entourage to evacuate quickly, lest Zhao Ziliang regret it. s: Hello everyone, my new book The Blood-stained Song Dynasty has been released.
