On the second day of April, Zhao Ziliang received an audience from more than a dozen leaders of Taoism, Buddhism, Brahmanism and other sects in the side hall of Liangyi Palace. person of prestige.
Zhao Ziliang said to everyone: "During this period, the King of Japan has many military and political affairs to deal with.
Therefore, after our meeting was dismissed on March 15th last time, it was not until today that the King of Japan called you all together to continue the last topic.
In recent years, our Western Qin There are many people using the Those who cheat as monks pretend to be monks, Taoist priests or members of other sects to sell amulets and other props to ordinary people to defraud money.
Many women have even been defrauded not only of money, but also of sex.
People in sects do not follow the rules and regulations , use one's identity to cheat and do evil.
The precepts of some sects strictly stipulate that members cannot drink alcohol, eat meat, have sex with women, or break the law.
However, there are still many people who break the precepts.
I hope that each sect will strictly punish these people.
We cannot Tolerating adultery and treating the church members The requirements must be stricter, and special agencies must be set up to deal with those who violate the precepts.
If you can't control it yourself, then the government will step in.
Of course, if someone files a complaint with the government, no matter how you handle it internally, you cannot hinder the peace and harmony.
Interfering with the government's handling of cases."
At this time, a eunuch came in and saluted: "Your Majesty, Lord Liu Shan of Honglu Temple asks to see you."
Zhao Ziliang immediately said to everyone: "Let's discuss first how to deal with the violations of the precepts by various religions.
I will come back later."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang came to the main hall, and Liu Dan was already waiting here.
When he saw Zhao Ziliang, he immediately saluted and said: "Meet the king."
"Excuse me, Liu Qing, why did you come to see me today?"
Zhao Ziliang asked while sitting on the throne.
Liu Shan bowed his hands and said: "In response to your Majesty's words, Lu Qi, the envoy of the Central Plains imperial court in Xinjing, came to see me today and said that he would discuss with me, Western Qin, about countering the rebellion."
"Oh" Zhao Ziliang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did he say anything specific?"
Liu Shandao: "He said that the emperor sent a message that now the Central Plains army and our Western Qin army have joined forces.
In order to put down the rebellion as soon as possible, the military power of both sides should be unified.
The Central Plains court has appointed Guo Ziyi as the marshal to suppress the rebellion.
The emperor hopes that the Western Qin army will The command of Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode's army can be assigned to Guo Ziyi, who will be under the unified command.
Since this matter is of great importance, the humble minister dare not make the decision without authorization, so I came here to ask the king for instructions."
Zhao Ziliang didn't expect that Zhao Ting was right about this matter.
He thought for a while and said to Liu Shan: "Let's do this.
I will tell Lu Qi personally about this matter.
You will bring him into the palace tomorrow.
I will be there."
Meet him in Liangyi Palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty" The next day, Liu Dan brought Lu Qi to see Zhao Ziliang.
Lu Qi is ugly, not ordinary ugly, and he is extremely jealous of talents.
His family background is excellent.
His grandfather Lu Huaishen was the prime minister of the Xuanzong Dynasty, and his father Lu Yi was the censor of Dongtai during the Anshi Rebellion. , died in Luoyang.
A system inherited from the Tang Dynasty, that is, relying on the official rank or title of one's father or ancestor to become an official or obtain the qualifications to become an official, it is called "menyin" or "yin".
Lu Qi's grandfather had been the prime minister, and his father had been the censor Zhongcheng and died at the hands of traitors.
Lu Qi naturally had the right to be an official based on this system.
Therefore, Lu Qi first became an official and served as the military commander of the Brown Qingdao.
Later, Pugu Huai'en took a fancy to Lu Qi's eloquence and made him secretary-general, trying to judge affairs in Dali and supervising censors.
Later, he became Bu Honglucheng.
After he became Honglucheng, Pu Gu Huai'en rebelled.
He was implicated because he had served as Pu Gu Huai'en's secretary, and was sent to Xinjing as an envoy.

"Lu Qi pays homage to the King of Western Qin."
A short and extremely ugly middle-aged man saluted Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said: "Master Lu, no courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "I already know the purpose of Lord Lu's visit.
I don't know what the emperor said.
Did the emperor give an oral order for me, Western Qin, to transfer the command of Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode, or let Lord Lu discuss it with me?"
Lu Qi said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has sent an envoy to talk about this matter.
Your Majesty wants your subordinates to discuss with the king to see if they can put Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode under the counter-rebellion marshal Guo Ziyi, so that they can be unified."
Command is very beneficial to quickly quelling the rebellion.
If each fights independently, not only will the military strength be dispersed, but it will also be easy for the rebels to take advantage of it."
Zhao Ziliang stood up and walked down the steps and asked: "Master Lu, I don't know which tribe is the leader of this barbarian rebellion and how many troops it has?"
Lu Qi said: "Replying to your Majesty, this rebellion is dominated by Tubo, Tuguhun and Uighur people.
The largest force among them is the Tubo, with about 100,000 troops, the Tuguhun 80,000, the Uighur 60,000, and the remaining iron The number of Le people, Turks and Dangxiang people ranges from 30,000 to 10,000."
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and asked: "Master Lu, how far does the Central Plains court plan to carry out this counter-insurgency?"
Lu Qi replied: "Of course we must completely eliminate these rebels and regain all the lost territory."
Zhao Ziliang said: "The strongest among these rebels are the Tubo people.
Even if the rebellion is suppressed, the power of the Tubo people still exists.
They can also come back again after three to five years and continue to attack the rule of the Central Plains dynasty.
The Central Plains dynasty cannot gain a foothold in Longyou and Hexi, so what should we do?"
Lu Qi didn't know how to answer: "This and that are according to the king's wishes."
Zhao Ziliang said: "If we want to put down the rebellion, it is better to completely solve the Tubo problem and conduct a thorough clarification of the barbarians in Hexi and Longyou areas.
Even if their tribes are not destroyed, they will be unable to attack the Central Plains within hundreds of years." dynastic rule poses a threat"
"What your Majesty means by completely solving the Tibetan problem is to completely wipe out all the Tibetan tribes and substantively occupy them."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Yes, I don't know whether Mr.
Lu has the right to make this decision."
Lu Qi was ashamed and said: "Your Majesty thinks too highly of me.
I am just an envoy.
How can I decide such important military and national affairs?
I must report it to His Majesty the Emperor and the court.
Let's talk about unified command first."
Regarding the issue, Your Majesty means that the king should order Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode to obey Guo Ziyi's command.
As for the complete solution to the Tubo problem, we can report it to the court within this period of time and the emperor will judge it.
What do you think?"
Zhao Ziliang answered the question: "Does Mr.
Lu know about Guo Ziyi's relationship with Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode?"
Lu Qi obviously didn't know about this.
He shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know.
Could it be that there is some kind of relationship between the three of them?"
Zhao Ziliang said to Liu Shan: "Master Liu, come and tell Master Lu about the relationship between the three of them."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liu Dan agreed and said to Lu Qi: "Master Lu, the three of them are classmates in the martial arts examination in the first year of Tianbao.
I'm afraid they won't be willing to ask Bai Xiaode and Ma Lin to listen to Guo Ziyi. ah" "And there's this matter."
Lu Qi really didn't know that these three people had such a relationship, "What should we do?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "In my opinion, they do not need unified command authority.
However, Guo Ziyi led the imperial army to attack from Longyou to the rebels' sphere of influence, while Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode's troops attacked from Hexi to the rebels' sphere of influence. , if the imperial court can send another one from Jiannan Road It is also feasible for a single army to attack Tubo.

Our Western Qin army is different from the Central Plains imperial army in terms of drill regulations, organization, orders, etc., and Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode are not necessarily convinced by Guo Ziyi.
If they are forced to unified command rights may be counterproductive.”
"I'm afraid that Jiannan Road won't be able to send troops to attack Tubo."
Lu Qi shook his head and said, "Since the king wants everyone to fight his own way, then I will go back and write a memorial to report the matter to the court.
In addition, I will tell the king what he just said."
Let’s talk about the complete settlement of the Tubo matter.
How His Majesty the Emperor and the court decide is beyond the control of the lower officials.”
After sending Lu Qi away, Zhao Ziliang sat on the throne and closed his eyes.
Gao Shang, who had been beside him, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have something that I don't know whether to say or not."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said, "Let's talk."
"Your Majesty, if the imperial court does not completely solve the problems of the vassal towns in various places, rebellions will definitely occur one after another in the future.
However, the problem of vassal towns is no longer a day or two.
It is easier said than done to completely solve the problem of vassal towns.
The internal rebellion in the Central Plains is A bottomless pit, even me We have completely eliminated Tubo, but rebellions will continue to occur in various parts of the Central Plains.
Does it mean that every time a rebellion occurs in the Central Plains, we, the Western Qin Dynasty, have to send troops to quell the rebellion?
This is an extremely huge financial burden for our Western Qin Dynasty.
Your Majesty, you don’t have to do anything.
If you do it, the rebellion in the Central Plains alone will be enough to give you a headache."
Gao Shang's words touched Zhao Ziliang very much.
The Tang Dynasty was already in deep trouble.
If you want to completely solve the internal problems, you must have a wise and courageous emperor.
However, the abilities of these successive emperors are very limited.
After pondering for a long time, Zhao Ziliang said in a deep voice: "Even so, I will never allow Tubo to continue to cause trouble.
During this time, I plan to wait a few more years until the troops are sufficient to attack the Dashi Kingdom.
It seems that this Unless the Tubo problem is completely solved, this The king can't think about conquering Dashi with peace of mind.
Gao Shang, I decided to conquer Tubo personally.
This time, I must deal with Tubo once and for all to prevent it from causing chaos again.
When the fifteenth dynasty of this month comes, you will raise the issue of completely solving Tubo. , let the officials discuss it."
Gao Shang said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to fight in person.
It's not like we in Western Qin don't have generals."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "I am only forty-three years old, and I am not too old to ride a horse to fight.
When one day I am too old to ride a war horse, then I will not consider the issue of no longer fighting in person.
Moreover, the problem of Tibet has always been This is a thorn in my heart.
I have visited Tubo many times, and every time I have failed at the last moment.
This time I can no longer stop me
