Yang Yuhuan cried loudly after hearing Xuanzong's words: "No, no, if I don't leave, even if I die, I will stay with your majesty."
Xuanzong sighed: "Yuhuan, don't cry.
I've had many women in my life, but you are the only one who has ever been truly affectionate.
It's all in vain for a bad old man like me to win the favor of a peerlessly beautiful woman like you."
Once a man, I know your intentions, but I can’t agree to you, and I can’t do this, otherwise I won’t be able to rest in peace even under the Nine Springs.”
Yang Yuhuan kept crying, and Xuanzong kept stroking her hair and shoulders to comfort her.
After a long time, Yang Yuhuan raised his head and asked with tears in his eyes: "Where does your Majesty plan to arrange for me to go?"
Xuanzong smiled and said: "You have always wanted to go to the Western Regions to see the customs and customs there.
Go there.
With Zhao Ziliang there, no one should dare to do anything against you.
Even after my death, someone in the court wants to do something to you.
We also have to weigh the risk of offending Zhao Ziliang."
Yang Yuhuan asked in confusion: "Isn't Zhao Ziliang fighting the Tubo people in Longyou and Hexi?
Could it be that Sanlang wants to transfer him back to Beiting?"
Xuanzong sighed: "Whether I can transfer him back to Beiting, he has always been the master of Beiting.
Over the years, Beiting has never been out of his control.
The imperial court has no way to get involved in Beiting.
Now there are generals in the army."
Almost all of them come from his disciples, or are his former subordinates, and his prestige in the army has surpassed that of me, the emperor."
Yang Yuhuan was shocked: "Sanlang" Xuanzong waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I won't kill him, and I can't kill him.
Even if I send someone to convey the intention to kill him, his subordinates and disciples will probably not agree.
Then the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos.
The court's prestige has been lost, and it will completely lose control of the army.
The gains outweigh the losses.
These days, I have been thinking about how to arrange Zhao Ziliang.
If he is left in the court, he will definitely not get along with Heng'er.
With his power, With his power, status and ability, not only can Heng'er be unable to do anything to him, but as long as he is around, Heng'er can only become a puppet.
Once he is cornered, the Tang Dynasty will be over.
After much thought, the only way is to let him continue.
I go back to guard Beiting.
I hope he can understand my painstaking efforts, and I also hope that he still has a sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty in his heart and leads his troops back to Beiting.
Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty will be in a mess from now on."
Li Heng and several prime ministers were waiting outside the palace gate.
Some were anxious and kept walking around, while others kept rubbing their hands, showing their extreme anxiety.
The white-browed and white-haired Gao Lishi came out with his whisk in his arms and said to Li Heng and the prime ministers: "Your Highness, your lords, your majesty invites you in."
Li Heng immediately walked into the palace, and other prime ministers followed him.
Everyone came to Xuanzong and saluted: "I will pay my respects to your Majesty."
"Get flat" "Thank you, Your Majesty" After everyone stood up, Xuanzong asked: "Heng'er, is there any battle report from Zhao Ziliang?"
Li Heng cupped his hands and said: "Father, yes, in late June, Zhao Ziliang led 15,000 people to Xiping City, leaving the main force in Shanzhou to buy time for the main army's soldiers to adapt to the plateau terrain.
Marshal of Tubo Dazalugong led an army of 120,000 to attack.
Zhao Ziliang seized the opportunity of the Tibetan army's unstable foothold to attack with cavalry.
The Tibetan army They were defeated and fled.
In the chaos, Tubo Zanpu Xisongde was shot to death by Zhao Ziliang with an arrow.
In order to avenge the Tubo king, Dazalugong forcibly ordered the soldiers to attack the city regardless of casualties.
In just six or seven days, nearly five people were lost.

With 60,000 troops, Zhao Ziliang held on until the tenth day.
After Shanzhou's main force adapted to the local plateau terrain, it marched westward, and the Tubo army had to fight.
Lu retreated to Dafeichuan, and Zhao Ziliang then led his army to press forward step by step.
Now our army has occupied Fuqi City in Haixi, but Shibao City, Chishui City east of the Yellow River, Michuan County and other cities are occupied by the Tubo people.
Occupying a key and dangerous place, it was difficult for our army to capture it for a while.
It has been more than two and a half months since the confrontation with the Tibetan army and they invaded Hexi.
The Tibetan army in the area was cut off by our army and retreated westward, but was blocked by our Yumen Pass defenders, and then attacked from behind by Zhao Ting's army.
They were defeated and the entire army was annihilated.
Now the Hexi area has been completely recovered.
Most of Longyou has also been recovered, and only Shibao City, Chuihe County and the Jiuqu of the Yellow River are still under the control of the Tubo people."
"Finally there is good news."
Xuanzong felt much better and asked again: "Where is Hebei?"
Li Heng hesitated and said: "Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were defeated by Shi Siming one after another.
Li Guangbi retreated to Hedong, and Guo Ziyi also retreated to the Xinxiang area.
The loss of troops was serious.
Shi Siming is indeed much more difficult to deal with than An Lushan and his son.
Currently, Shi Siming leads The troops are stationed in the Xiangzhou area, and Guo Ziyi has collected ships on the Yellow River and is ready to cross the river and retreat to Chenliu, Xingyang and Luoyang."
"Cough cough cough cough cough" Li Heng and all the prime ministers were shocked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty" Xuanzong coughed for a while, his face flushed.
After he stopped coughing, he gasped and asked: "Why did the Hebei war end up like this?
Regardless of the strength of the troops, the combat power of the soldiers, and the food and baggage, we must be stronger than Shi Siming.
Why did this battle happen?"
It’s like this” "This" Li Heng and all the prime ministers did not dare to say anything.
They did not know the specific reason.
They were also surprised that the Tang army clearly had an absolute advantage in all aspects, but now it was defeated by the weak Shi Siming.
This is really surprising.
Can't figure it out.
At this time, Zhang Hao stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I speculate that this may be related to the inability of our army to unified command.
In the past, Zhao Ziliang was responsible for countering rebellions, and all the generals obeyed him.
He can form unified command of the armies everywhere, but After he was transferred to fight the Tubo people, the Central Plains There was no one with enough prestige to command the armies, and His Majesty did not appoint a new marshal.
Therefore, the generals of the armies were not convinced by each other and went their own way.
Shi Siming seized this opportunity and came to each other.
Defeating it will lead to the defeat of our army."
Xuanzong asked: "Do you think this is the reason for the corruption of the war in the Central Plains?"
Zhang Hao said: "Your Majesty, this is just my speculation.
I can't be sure of this if I don't go to war."
Xuanzong was silent for a long time and then said: "I am dying soon.
I didn't expect that I would not be able to put down the civil strife before I died."
The ministers shed tears of pain and bowed one after another: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent."
Xuanzong took a deep breath and said: "Fang Guan, prepare an edict."
Fang Guan was stunned and said quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
When Fang Guan was ready, Xuanzong said: "From now on, the name of Beiting will be changed to the Western Qin Dynasty, and Zhao Ziliang will be named the King of the Western Qin Dynasty, the General of the Conquest of the West, and concurrently the Protector of the Imperial Palace of the Western Qin Dynasty, and the Military Envoy of the Western Qin Dynasty, and open the mansion.
Build the Yamen and guard the west forever Qin, as the barrier to the western frontier of the Tang Dynasty, handed over the military affairs of conquering Tibet to the accompanying Central Plains Army from the day it was recruited.
The handover was completed within a month, and all the Beiting Army returned to Western Qin.
Without the decree of the imperial court, no one was allowed to do so.
Return to Central Plains" Li Heng and other ministers were shocked and said one after another: "Your Majesty, this action must not be done.

Once the decree is issued, Beiting will become its own country.
From then on, it will be separated from the control of the Tang Dynasty and become a country within a country.
Please, Your Majesty."
Take back your life" Xuanzong said angrily: "I have made up my mind.
Who dares to stop me?
I will exterminate the nine tribes, cough, cough, Fangguan, and then draw up an edict.
I will confer the title of Wang Jinjin as the Jiedushi of Longyou and the Prince of Anyang County.
I will rush to Longyou to take over Zhao Ziliang's charge of the expedition."
Tubo Affairs Li Guangbi was appointed as the Jiedushi of Jiannan, and was granted the title of King of Linhuai County.
He was in charge of the border affairs of Tubo and Nanzhao.
He set off today.
He appointed Guo Ziyi to be fully responsible for the counter-insurgency affairs in the Central Plains, to coordinate the various armies, and to put an end to the Shi Siming Rebellion as soon as possible."
"Follow the decree" After being polished by Fang Guan, several imperial edicts were quickly written.
Fang Guan showed them to Xuanzong, who immediately sealed them with a jade seal.
The edict was quickly sent out by the eunuchs, and Xuanzong said to everyone: "I know what I am doing, Prince, I am going to die.
If I don't deal with it this way, how will you treat Zhao Ziliang and how you will treat other armies after you ascend the throne?"
general" Li Heng hesitated: "This" Xuanzong sighed: "Now Zhao Ziliang cannot be moved.
Once he is moved, the world will collapse.
His military power is too heavy to keep him out for a long time.
But if he is allowed to enter the court, do you think you can control him?
Unless you want to Be a puppet emperor” Cold sweat broke out on Li Heng's forehead, "Father, Zhao Qing wouldn't do this, right?"
"Confused, sometimes people are forced to do things by the situation.
Many times they can't help themselves.
Don't you understand this?
The current plan is to give up a piece of Beiting land to accommodate him, otherwise we can't solve this huge problem.
When I die, if nothing happens, don’t recruit him into the court.
If something happens, don’t recruit him.
Zhao Ziliang is a smart man when he enters the court.
When I send this decree, he naturally understands what I mean.
This is my compromise and his compromise.
Unless he wants to see the world in chaos, if a person like him is not forced to The method is to never take risks and bring trouble to the world, so don’t mess with him in the future, do you understand?”
Li Heng responded: "My son, I have written it down."
Xuanzong was very tired and waved his hand: "Everyone, go down."
"I'll take my leave."
After everyone left, Xuanzong said to Yang Yuhuan: "Yuhuan, the imperial edict needs to be recorded today and will be issued tomorrow.
At that time, you and the envoy will go to Longyou to see Zhao Ziliang.
When he leads his army back to Western Qin, you Go with him" Yang Yuhuan said with tears: "Sanlang" Xuanzong patted her hand and said to Gao Lishi: "Go to Xuanyu Chaoen and Cheng Yuanzhen.
There is a close eunuch named Li Fuguo next to the prince, who also came to announce it."
"Follow the decree" After a while, Yu Chaoen, Cheng Yuanzhen and Li Fuguo came to Xuanzong together and said, "I pay homage to your majesty."
Xuanzong said: "Tomorrow there will be an edict sent to Longyou for Zhao Ziliang.
The three of you will send it together.
The imperial concubine will also go with you.
You must ensure the safety of the empress, otherwise" The three of them quickly said: "I will protect your Majesty even if my servants are torn to pieces, and I will never let your Majesty be harmed in the slightest."
"It's very good that only you three know about my queen's trip to Longxi.
This matter is top secret.

You are not allowed to leak it to anyone.
You three will stay here tonight and are not allowed to go out to see anyone.
Tomorrow morning you will take a hundred imperial guards with you.
Escort the imperial edict and the empress’ car to Longyou.”
"Follow the decree":
