Zhao Ziliang's life returned to peace.
Although he did not interfere with everything in military and political affairs, government and military affairs were never far away from his sight.
Cen Shen, Dugu Jun, Gao Shi, Huangfu Xian and others took charge of government affairs, justice and military affairs.
The government affairs in terms of supervision are handled very well, and the military affairs are also handled by a large number of military generals such as Chu Ge, Li Siye, Chen Qing, Gong Ren, and Wang Zhen.
However, Zhao Ziliang did not slack off in politics.
He had always regarded conquering the Western world as his ultimate goal in his lifetime.
After a short rest, he planned to focus on subverting and dealing with the big food country, because in order to conquer the Western world, he must first He wanted to conquer the Big Food Country, but something happened suddenly that interrupted his plan.
On the sixth day of October in the fourth year of the Xinghan Dynasty, Liu Dan, the head of Honglu Temple, hurriedly came to the palace to ask for an audience.
Seeing that he looked anxious, the eunuch immediately passed the news on his behalf, and was soon summoned by Zhao Ziliang.
"The humble minister is here to see your Majesty," Liu Dan said with a bow and raised his hands.
Since it was not a formal and solemn occasion, Liu Dan did not kneel down and bow.
Zhao Ziliang was chatting with Queen Chen Qingying and several princesses in the garden of the amusement park.
When Liu Dan arrived, he stopped talking and asked: "Liu Dan, you never come to the palace to see me unless you have nothing to do, but you come here today."
Yeah, what’s going on?”
Liu Shan said: "Your Majesty, something big has happened.
Servant Huai'en colluded with the Tubo, Tiele and Uighur people to raise an army of 300,000 to launch a rebellion.
The emperor sent someone to deliver an edict, asking your Majesty to send troops to serve the king."
"What?"
Zhao Ziliang's expression changed, he stood up and shouted: "Where is the visitor?
Where is the edict?"
“Just outside Xuanwu Fort” Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Hurry up and announce his entry into the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang turned to Queen Chen Qingying and the other princesses and said: "My beloved concubines, something big has happened in the court.
I have to go to Liangyi Palace to receive the envoys from the Central Plains and the emperor's edict.
I will not compensate you."
Chen Qingying and the other princesses all stood up and said: "State affairs are important, please go ahead, Your Majesty."
The wise concubine said: "Your Majesty, my concubines are also going."
Zhao Ziliang said unhappily: "Nonsense, why are you going to Liangyi Palace as a woman?"
Concubine Xian made a crying gesture: "I am worried about the affairs of the Central Plains.
Go and ask the people of the Central Plains what's wrong."
Chen Qingying hurriedly advised: "You'd better stop making trouble.
It's not too late for you to ask again when the king comes back after handling the matter.
Our sisters are also very worried."
"Oh well" Zhao Ziliang quickly came to Liangyi Hall to meet with the envoys from the Central Plains, received the edict, and then asked about the rebellion of Pugu Huai'en.
After listening to the envoy's story, Zhao Ziliang said to the envoy from the Central Plains: "The envoy will go back to the embassy to rest for a few days.
When and how to send troops, I will have to discuss with the courtiers before giving the envoy a clear reply."
The envoy from Zhongyuan City saluted and said: "Now I will be waiting for the good news from your Majesty in the embassy.
I will leave now."
After watching the Central Plains envoy leave, Zhao Ziliang waved to Liu Dan.
Liu Dan stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang's face was stern and he ordered: "Send someone to find out the details of this matter.
I don't believe that Huai'en has such courage and dares to openly raise an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
I am not dead yet."
"Yes, Wei Chen will go right now."
On the morning of October 12, after several days of detailed investigation, Liu Dan hurried to the palace again to report the results of the investigation to Zhao Ziliang.
Although Honglu Temple is not an intelligence department, it is the yamen in charge of diplomacy.

It is even easier to collect information on diplomacy than the intelligence department.
After listening to Liu Dan's report, Zhao Ziliang walked up and down the hall with his hands behind his back.
After a long time, he stopped and said to the eunuch: "Preach the decree and order people to ring the Jingyang Bell and gather officials above the third rank and generals above the rank of major general in Guangming." palace affairs"
"Follow the decree" The Jingyang Bell is hung in the bell tower on the top of the palace.
It is guarded by two soldiers on weekdays.
This bell will only be rung when a major event occurs, such as when the kingdom is invaded by foreign invaders and the king needs to urgently convene the ministers for discussion. , or it can only be sounded when the king, queen mother, or king dies.
Because it is hung at a high place, the sound can quickly spread throughout the city after it is rung.
All civil and military officials must rush to the Guangming Hall of the palace to meet the king within two-quarters of an hour.
When the ministers, civil servants and generals in Xinjing heard the bell, their expressions changed drastically.
This was the first time that the Jingyang Bell had been rung since the founding of the Western Qin Dynasty and the completion of the palace.
It must be a big deal.
They all put on their court uniforms and rushed towards the palace.
Come.
A large number of civil servants and military generals quickly gathered in Taiji Square.
The gate of Xuanwu Fort soon opened.
A eunuch shook his whisk and came out and said sharply: "The king has a decree to summon civil servants of third rank or above and generals above the rank of major general to the Guangming Palace for discussion.
Everyone else should go back and wait for news, don’t crowd in here.”
Officials of third grade and above and generals with the rank of major general and above lined up on the left and right sides to cross the Royal Palace Bridge and Xuanwu Fort and enter the palace.
Other officials and officers with lower rankings did not leave, but stayed in Taiji Square talking in groups.
As for what happened, I hope to get first-hand information here.
Zhao Ziliang wore a brand-new royal robe and held a sword in his hand.
He walked up to Lord Dan and sat down in front of the throne to accept the worship of the ministers.
When the ministers sat down, he raised his hand and said: "Get down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty" When the ministers stood up and stood on both sides, Zhao Ziliang said: "The reason why we urgently summoned all the ministers' families is because a major event happened in the Central Plains court.
Pugu Huai'en colluded with the Tubo people, the Uighur people, the Dangxiang people, the Tiele people, and the Tuyuhun people.
Raise an army of 300,000 to launch a rebellion.”
The ministers were shocked: "Ah" The hall suddenly felt like a vegetable market.
The ministers and generals were whispering among each other.
Some even openly cursed the servants for being ungrateful and ungrateful, and the court had raised a white-eyed wolf.
Zhao Ziliang expressed his understanding of the reaction of the ministers and generals.
Everyone came from this, and they still regard the Central Plains as their hometown.
Their hometown has been repeatedly ravaged by the rebels.
You can imagine how they feel in their hearts.
Many ministers and generals in the DPRK subconsciously regard the Central Plains as their hometown.
Zhong also regarded himself as a minister of the Tang Dynasty, and even he did the same.
Zhao Ziliang pressed his hand, quieted the ministers, and continued: "At present, the rebels have captured Chang'an.
The emperor withdrew to Shaanzhou.
The imperial army guarded Tongguan to resist the rebel attack.
The emperor sent envoys to deliver the edict.
Please ask me to send troops to help you.
Regarding Pugu Huai’en’s rebellion, please let Liu Dan, the head of Honglu Temple, explain the reasons in detail to all the ministers.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liu Dan stood up and saluted Zhao Ziliang.
After walking to His Majesty Dan, he turned to face the ministers.
"Colleagues, since the imperial court put down the Anshi Rebellion, the mainland of the Tang Dynasty has not completely calmed down.

The soldiers in the army want to go home and the generals are looking forward to rewards.
However, the emperor and the royal family began to suspect that the generals had too much military power.
In August and October last year, Guo Ziyi Li Guangbi and Li Guangbi were deprived of their military power because they were framed by eunuchs and were jealous of the emperor.
After being deprived of his military power, he was idle at home.
In November last year, Lai Yi offended the eunuch Wang Zhongsheng.
Wang Zhongsheng falsely accused Lai Yi of treason to the emperor.
The emperor was suspicious of Lai Yi and removed him from his official position.
He sent people to investigate, but it has not been verified. , the emperor decreed that Lai Qi be demoted to the rank of Lieutenant of Bochuan County, and when Lai Qi was on his way to Bochuan, the emperor decreed that Lai Qi should be killed."
"Li Guangbi has been living on rent in the Xuzhou fiefdom since he was deprived of military power.
In February of this year, the emperor summoned Li Guangbi and ordered him to stay in the east capital.
Li Guangbi saw that the eunuchs were in power today, and he was worried about being slandered by the eunuchs, so he delayed on the excuse of illness. , the emperor repeatedly sent people to urge him, and Li Guangbi became depressed and ill under the pressure, and died of illness in Xuzhou in July."
"In February of this year, Pugu Huai'en led his troops to send his son-in-law and daughter back to Mobei.
His daughter was ordered by the late emperor to marry the leader of Mobei Huihe.
In February, the supervisor Luo Fengxian didn't know where he got the news, and made a false accusation to the court.
Pugu Huai'en has colluded with the Uighur people.
Pugu Huai'en cannot defend himself.
As you all know, the Uighur people were severely beaten by the king and massacred a large number of people in less than a hundred years.
At that time, the Mobei Huihe people could not pose a threat to the Central Plains.
The emperor was doubtful and sent Prime Minister Pei Zunqing to Pugu Huai'en's army to comfort him.
Huai'en held Pei Zunqing's feet and cried bitterly.
Let him go to the court to see the emperor.
But before leaving, his deputy Fan Zhicheng persuaded him: Marshal, you are already suspected by the court, why do you want to go to that unpredictable place in Chang'an?
Didn't you see Li Guangbi and Lai Yi?
What will happen to these two people?
Li Guangbi was seized of power and Lai Yi was killed.
Don't you think about yourself?
So Pugu Huai'en was worried about being framed by treacherous ministers and refused to enter the court.
The court could not calm down the conflicts between the parties.
Pugu Huai'en was suspicious of Pugu Huai'en, and Pugu Huai'en was forced to rebel.
He sent his son Pugu Jian to attack Xin Yunjing.
In anger, Pu Gujiu beat the soldiers violently and was besieged to death by the soldiers.
Huai'en was so angry that he led Tubo, Uighur, Tiele, Dangxiang, Tuyuhun and other troops to attack Xizhou and Fengzhou together with his own troops totaling 300,000 troops.
But Huai'en died suddenly in the army, while the armies of Tubo, Huihe, Tiele, Dangxiang and Tuguhun gathered together and continued to attack Lantian and captured Chang'an.
This is what happened."
There was silence in the main hall, and many ministers felt sorry for the servant.
Bai Xiaode stood up and said: "In other words, Pu Gu Huaien was forced to rebel.
He did not intend to rebel."
Liu Dan nodded and sighed: "During the pacification of the Anshi Rebellion, forty-six men in Pugu Huaien's family died in battle.
Three daughters were ordered by the emperor to marry and marry the leaders of various tribes in the northern part of the Great Wall.
They can be said to be loyal and loyal.
But It is people like this who are not trusted by the court and forced by the eunuchs to rebel."
Bai Xiaode said angrily: "With such suspicion, what else can such a court deserve to be loyal to?
It's no wonder that so many towns in Duobian are disobeying the court and disobeying orders.
They really deserve it."
Some officials and generals were also filled with anger and complained that it was not worth it to express their gratitude to their servant.

Zhao Ziliang patted the imperial case and said angrily: "That's enough.
If you are not trusted or suspected, you will start a rebellion.
What is the reason for this?
Isn't there never peace in the world?
How can one person completely trust another person?"
Speaking of monarchs and ministers, can there be 100% trust even between husband and wife, father and son?
No matter what, this cannot be achieved.
There is always a way to solve the problem for anyone's reason for rebellion.
Pu Gu Huai'en has a soft ear.
He was frightened after being persuaded by his subordinates for a few words.
The imperial court did not take the lead in raising troops to attack him.
After all, he was a general of the imperial court.
The emperor did He also needs to think carefully before making a decision.
He was unable to withstand the pressure and made an unforgivable mistake
