After the military order was issued, the thresholds of the fabric shops in the cities in Longyou and Hexi were trampled to pieces, and all the white cloth was purchased.
There was a sea of white everywhere.
Not only officials and soldiers wore sackcloth and mourning, but also many ordinary people wore Plain clothes.
Zhao Ziliang took the general officials and envoys Yu Chaoen, Cheng Yuanzhen, Li Fuguo and others back to the county government hall.
Everyone sat down as guests and hosts.
Zhao Ziliang said to the generals and Yu Chaoen: "It is not my king's style to give up halfway.
Now we The war with Tubo is in progress During the critical period, Wang Ran was still on his way to Longyou, so I decided to completely eliminate the Tibetan army entrenched in the Dafeichuan area before leaving, so that I could take over when Wang Ran came, so as not to leave a mess.
Let him have a hard time, what do you think?"
The generals of the Beiting Army stood up one after another and said: "Your Majesty, we have no objections."
Of course, the generals of the Central Plains Army are also eager.
If the Beiting Army doesn't care now and leaves this mess to them, if they want to completely eliminate the Tibetan Army in Dafeichuan, many more people will die.
Besides, Zhao Ziliang is in charge of this matter. , they were relieved, so these people also stood up and clasped their fists and said: "Your Majesty, we have no objections."
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Okay, let's order all frontline units to prepare for war."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang waved everyone away.
Only a few confidants and members of the imperial mission were left in the hall.
He looked at Yu Chaoen and others and asked: "Eunuch Yu, Eunuch Cheng, and Eunuch Li, now that the decree has been conveyed, what are you doing?
If you stay here for a while longer, it is better to wait for me to finish off the 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses of Tibetan Marshal Dazalugong before returning to Chang'an."
The three of them looked at each other, and Yu Chaoen said: "Your Majesty, this is not urgent.
Our family wants you to meet someone, and you must meet this person."
Zhao Ziliang said in confusion: "Oh, who is it?"
Cheng Yuanzhen said: "Your majesty, please retreat."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand, and several of his confidants, soldiers and maids retreated.
Only Zhao Ziliang, three eunuchs and Ma Lin were left in the lobby.
Cheng Yuanzhen stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
After that, he walked out.
After a while, Cheng Yuanzhen led a woman in a bamboo hat and palace clothes.
Behind this woman were two palace maids.
He introduced: "Your Majesty, this is the person we want you to see."
"This is" Zhao Ziliang said doubtfully.
The woman in palace clothes slowly lifted up the gauze and took off her bamboo hat, revealing a peerless face.
Zhao Ziliang's face changed after he saw it clearly, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "I don't know that the queen is here, it's a death penalty, a death penalty."
Yang Yuhuan sighed: "Ziliang, Yuhuan is no longer a queen.
Your Majesty demoted me to a commoner and asked me to be a Taoist nun again.
My Taoist name is still Taizhen, so you don't have to be polite.
Please get up."
Zhao Ziliang got up and said to Yang Yuhuan: "In that case, Yuhuan, please take a seat."
"No need, I'll just sit here casually.
No need to be polite," Yang Yuhuan said, walking to a seat next to him and sitting down.
Zhao Ziliang had no choice but to sit back on the main seat and asked: "Why is Yuhuan here?"
Yang Yuhuan smiled bitterly and said: "A month ago, His Majesty learned that his end was coming.
He was worried that someone would do something bad to me after my death, so he decided to arrange for me to go to the Western Regions.
He said that with your care, no one in the court would dare to do anything bad to me. , I originally wanted to go with your Majesty, but your Majesty refused.
Besides, I have always wanted to see the customs and customs of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, so I had no choice but to follow your Majesty's arrangement and come here."
At this time, Ma Lin took out a secret edict and handed it over and said: "Your Majesty, this is a secret edict from your Majesty to the king.
It talks about the affairs of the empress.

Please take a look at it."
Zhao Ziliang solemnly took the secret edict, opened it slowly, read it carefully with an expressionless face, then put it into his arms calmly, and said to Yang Yuhuan: "I already know your Majesty's intention, so Yuhuan can follow me to the West without any worries."
Qin, as long as I, Zhao, don't die, no one will dare to touch the jade ring."
Yang Yuhuan stood up and made a blessing: "It's so hard work for Ziliang."
At this time, Princess Xinping's cry came from the back hall, "Husband, husband, someone just told me that my father passed away.
Is it true?
Is it true?"
The cries came from far away, and soon Princess Xinping walked around the screen from behind and walked into the Tang Dynasty like tears.
Zhao Ziliang stood up and sighed: "Your news is true, the Hongluan messenger has already sent the news."
"Wow" Princess Xinping immediately fell on Zhao Ziliang and cried loudly after receiving the exact news.
After Princess Xinping cried for a while, Yang Yuhuan stood up and walked over and said, "Xinping, my condolences."
When Xinping heard this voice, he immediately stopped crying and looked up, "Mother, why are you here?"
Yang Yuhuan sighed: "It's hard to describe in one word."
Zhao Ziliang said to Princess Xinping at this time: "Xinping, take my wife to the backyard to talk.
I have business here."
Princess Xinping wiped away her tears and immediately took Yang Yuhuan's hand and walked to the backyard.
Zhao Ziliang glanced at Yu Chaoen and the others, then looked at Ma Lin, sighed, and waved to Ma Lin: "General Ma, come with me."
Ma Lin cupped her fists at Yu Chaoen and the other three people and said, "Wait a moment, you three."
Zhao Ziliang took Ma Lin to a nearby wing, took out the secret edict from his arms and asked, "Have you read this secret edict?"
Ma Lin said quickly: "Since it is a secret edict, only the king can read it.
How can the general dare to read it?"
Zhao Ziliang handed over the secret edict and sighed: "Take a look."
"King" "If I tell you to look, just look."
"Yes."
Ma Lin had no choice but to open the secret edict and read it, but after reading it, his face immediately turned pale and he was sweating profusely on his forehead.
Zhao Ziliang took back the secret edict and stuffed it into his arms, patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "The affairs of the imperial concubine must not be known to too many people, otherwise it will not be kept confidential.
The late emperor also considered returning to Western Qin with me.
Your family is small, I will send someone to pick them up.
As for the three hundred Forbidden Army soldiers you brought, I am afraid that none of them can be kept."
It turned out that the emperor's secret edict said that except for Yang Yuhuan and the dozens of maids who served her, everyone in the mission that came this time would be killed to prevent the news from leaking, including Ma Lin, of course, but after all, Ma Lin had never He has followed Zhao Ziliang since he joined the army.
Although the two have only been together for more than two years, their relationship is still very deep.
Zhao Ziliang really can't do it if he wants to kill Ma Lin for this matter, and he believes that Ma Lin will not leak the news.
As for the three Eunuch and 300 Imperial Guardsmen Ma Lin didn't recover for a long time.
The contents of the emperor's secret decree had a huge impact on Ma Lin, completely destroying everything he insisted on in his heart.
The consequence of the instant collapse of faith was despair.
Zhao Ziliang saw his stunned look and knew that he had been hit hard, so he said: "Ma Lin, look away.
Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your family.
I heard that you have several children who are still very young.
The eldest is only fifteen years old, they don’t have I can't do it without you.
Don't do anything stupid.
Although the court can't tolerate you, you can still come with me to the Western Qin Dynasty.
The late emperor allowed me to open a government office and build a government office.
You should be able to make a difference with your talents.
Think carefully about it.
Think, I'll go out first, come back to me after you figure it out."

Ma Lin didn't say anything, so Zhao Ziliang had to go back to the lobby first and said to Yu Chao'en and the other three eunuchs: "You three father-in-laws, it's rare for you to come here.
Today, the king has time, so I will accompany you to Jinyintan.
How about hunting on the prairie?"
Yu Chaoen and others wanted to refuse.
After all, they were very tired after walking such a long way, but Zhao Ziliang was so enthusiastic and they could not refuse, so they had to follow Zhao Ziliang to hunt on the Jinyintan grassland.
After everyone entered Jinyintan on horseback, they galloped together and had a broad view.
Green grass on the grassland and groups of cattle and sheep were dotted like white clouds in the sky, forming beautiful pictures.
Everyone rode their horses to a small high ground and looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance.
Everyone dismounted, and Zhao Ziliang asked: "You three father-in-laws, how is it here?"
Yu Chaoen and others all showed happy smiles and said: "Good grassland, good place, good scenery."
"It's also good Feng Shui," Zhao Ziliang said and asked, "What do you think of being buried here after death?"
"Yes, this is indeed a good Feng Shui place," Cheng Yuanzhen nodded and said.
However, Li Fuguo and Yu Chaoen heard something was wrong in Zhao Ziliang's words.
Li Fuguo warned: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
Zhao Ziliang clasped his fists and saluted to the east, and said: "The late emperor cannot be left unattended below.
I have sent you three of you on a secret edict from the late emperor, so I have found such a good Feng Shui place for you.
I hope that the three of you will be harmonious to the emperor and the royal family."
For the sake of doing my best, I will leave you with a whole body, lest you go down there and be an eyesore to the late emperor, and send the three father-in-laws on their way."
The faces of the three people changed drastically, and Yu Chaoen shouted: "Zhao Ziliang, you must have made a mistake.
How could the late emperor make such a decree?"
The soldiers didn't care about their reactions.
They held them down and put ropes around their necks.
No matter how much they struggled, it didn't help.
After a few minutes, the three people's struggles stopped, and their hands and feet hung down.
Crumbled to the ground.
"Your Majesty, I hope that the death of the three of them will bring some disaster to the Tang Dynasty."
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he waved to the soldiers: "Dig a hole and bury it."
"Yes, Marshal" After returning to the Linqiang County Government Office, Zhao Ziliang sent someone to find Erzhu.
After receiving the notice, Erzhu rushed over quickly, walked into the lobby and clasped his fists, saying: "Your Majesty, you are looking for me."
Zhao Ziliang asked everyone else to go out, and then asked Er Zhu: "How are the three hundred imperial soldiers from the mission outside the city?"
Er Zhumou cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the general has arranged them in the military camp and ordered people to send them food and drinks."
Zhao Ziliang closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a long time, he rubbed his face with his hands, opened his eyes and sighed: "Bring the people over personally and execute them all.
Don't leave any one behind and make too much noise.
After that, Deal with it cleanly, The lieutenants and generals of the Strict Forbidden Army will discuss this matter.
If there is any violation, they will be killed without mercy.
After dealing with it, you write a statement and submit it, saying that these 300 Forbidden Army warriors volunteered to fight against the Tibetan army, and they all died fighting with all their strength.
They died heroically."
Erzhu looked solemn, clasped his fists and said: "I will obey your orders, General Ma Lin."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Ma Lin, I have my own arrangements, don't touch him."
