When Wei Boyu ordered his subordinates to disobey the emperor's decree and cause trouble, Zhao Ziliang was extremely angry after hearing this.
However, he also knew that in the whirlpool of political struggle, Wei Boyu was afraid that he could not help himself, and the situation in the Tang Dynasty collapsed.
To this extent, it is definitely not Wei Boyu's problem.
Without Wei Boyu, there would still be Wang Boyu and Li Boyu.
In fact, after the Anshi Rebellion was put down, not many rebel generals surrendered to separatist regimes, including Li Huaixian, Tian Chengsi, Li Baochen and others.
These people surrendered in name, but in fact they still separatist kings.
The situation at that time was not bad.
As long as the emperor and the court could adopt the correct line of governance, the Tang Dynasty could achieve a renaissance.
The bad thing was that during the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Suzong made a great deal of envoys.
In the past, it was only in the border towns.
There were Jiedushi envoys, but after Suzong succeeded to the throne, there were Jiedushi envoys everywhere in the Tang Dynasty.
Not only did they have military power, but also political and financial power, and the right to appoint and remove subordinate officials on their own.
The consequences of the proliferation of Jiedushi envoys finally became apparent after a few years.
That is, many Jiedushi envoys in various places began to be beyond the control of the court. , the wealth was not handed over, and the imperial envoys were dissatisfied with the slightest misconduct and rebelled unscrupulously.
For two consecutive days, Zhao Ziliang was arranging the garrison of the army and handling tedious matters, and was busy receiving visiting ministers and military generals from the DPRK and China.
On the morning of September 23rd, Zhao Ziliang was still practicing in the courtyard when he heard Xuan Jiu come to report: "Your Majesty, Wei Boyu is here to visit."
Zhao Ziliang stopped to put away the horse, threw it to the guard next to him, took the towel handed by a palace maid and wiped his sweat, "Let him wait in the front hall first, and I will see him again after I wash up and have breakfast."
"Yes, Your Majesty" After Zhao Ziliang washed up and had breakfast with Nie Sanniang, half of the envoys had passed before he ordered Wei Boyu to be brought to the courtyard behind the mansion.
The temperature had started to cool down in the past few days.
There were trees in the courtyard to shade Zhao Ziliang.
Enjoy the shade under the trees.
Soon Wei Boyu was brought over, and he bowed to Zhao Ziliang and said: "General, I will pay my respects to the king."
Zhao Ziliang saw that Wei Boyu was still polite and kept his posture relatively low, so he raised his hand and said: "General Wei, I haven't seen you for many years.
Now you are already a general of the imperial court and an envoy of the right army of Shence Army.
You don't need to be in front of me."
"How polite, please get up and show General Wei his seat."
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty," Wei Boyu said.
After sitting down, he said, "If it hadn't been for Your Majesty's appreciation and support, the general would not be where he is today."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hands and laughed, "General Wei, what you said is wrong.
I did appreciate your bravery and talents and promoted you back then, but the Shence Army was able to develop into its current size, and you became the Shence The position of military envoy in the right wing of the army is not supported by this king.
It is said that Ju Wenzhen, the eunuch in the palace, appreciates you very much."
This question made Wei Boyu very embarrassed.
He replied with a sneer: "The king's information is indeed well-informed."
After speaking, Wei Boyu sighed: "Your Majesty must also have some understanding of the situation in the court.
Now if you don't find a backer, you won't be able to get along in the court at all.
After the war against Tubo ended, your Majesty led his troops back to Anxi. , the situation in the imperial court still showed no improvement, and the same was true for the last general.
There was no way, there were only more than a thousand people under his command, and they were transferred here and there and used as human shields to charge into the battle.
The soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
In the end, the general had no choice but to seek refuge with Ju Wenzhen, who was going to Shaanzhou to supervise the army at that time.
Unexpectedly, this Once you get on Ju Wenzhen’s pirate ship, you will never get off again.”
"Come, drink tea."
Zhao Ziliang picked up the tea cup and said, "Isn't it good to take refuge in Ju Wenzhen?
As far as I know, with the support and help of Ju Wenzhen, your Shence Army has grown from more than a thousand people to the original one."
It has grown to more than 15,000 people now.
From this point of view, Ju Wenzhen can be said to be your boss, why do you say you got on his pirate ship?"

Wei Boyu said: "There are very few people in the court who are really serving the country.
They are all fighting for power and for their own rights.
Some people do not hesitate to use any means.
The king really thinks that Ju Wenzhen is supporting the junior general and helping the Shence Army."
When it has developed to this scale, it is to recommend talented people to the country.
It really values the talents of the junior generals.
His purpose is not to serve the country.
After losing his personal rights and waiting for the Shence Army to develop to a certain scale and its combat effectiveness and wisdom, the eunuch began to be afraid of the last general again, worrying that the last general would not be restrained, otherwise he would not split the Shence Army into two. , and also recommended his trusted eunuch Dou Wenchang to the emperor as the military envoy of the left wing, just to use Dou Wenchang to contain the general."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "General Wei said these words, aren't you afraid that I will tell Ju Wenzhen?"
Wei Boyu said: "I believe that the king is not this kind of person, and he doesn't bother to do such things.
I have long since wanted to no longer help the tyrants.
Ju Wenzhen and others are the ones who are causing harm to the country and the people.
I have seen their true colors clearly.
If you continue to follow them, If he continues to mess around, he will definitely end up with nothing good."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Then why did you come to this king today?"
Wei Boyu stood up and bowed down and said: "Since the king led his army from Hexi and returned to the Western Qin Dynasty, the politics of the court were not only not clear, but also became more turbid.
The belief that the general had always insisted on collapsed.
In order to gain strength and power, he The last general has taken refuge in Ju Wenzhen.
Now that the king is back, the Tang Dynasty will be saved.
The last general hopes to follow the king to recreate the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.
Please take him under his wing."
"You are just a small envoy of the right wing of the Shence Army.
How do you know what the king is doing in Chang'an this time?"
Wei Boyu said: "Although the last general is a lowly official, there are also information channels that know that the king came to Chang'an this time on his own invitation to deal with the current chaos."
Zhao Ziliang asked again: "You believe in me so much that you believe that I can solve the current chaos.
As far as I know, Prince Li Shi is very powerful.
Why don't you take refuge in him?
Prime Minister Yuan Zai has power in the government and the public.
Compared with The tributaries of Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong back then were no less generous, why didn't you join them?"
Wei Boyu sneered and said: "Who among these people is sincerely serving the country and the people.
In order to protect their rights and climb up, they will do anything.
Only the king can truly serve the world, otherwise the king will not be far away."
I have traveled thousands of miles back to Chang'an to swim through this muddy water."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Wei Boyu, took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "You are from Ju Wenzhen, how can you tell me to trust you?"
Wei Boyu seemed to have been prepared.
He took out a roll of silk from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands, "Please take a look at it, your Majesty."
A guard came over from the side and took the silk silk, unfolded it and spread it on the stone table in front of Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang glanced at the silk silk, which had some people's names written on it.
Zhao Ziliang's face changed several times as he saw it, and he turned to ask Wei Boyu: "Is there any evidence that these courtiers are really colluding with the vassals and towns in various places?"
"It's absolutely true," Wei Boyu said immediately, but shook his head: "The general has no evidence.
If there was evidence, the general would have gone to the emperor with the evidence, and promotion and wealth would have been out of the question."
Zhao Ziliang stood up and walked slowly with his hands behind his back, thinking.
After walking back and forth for a few times, he stopped and said to Wei Boyu: "Get up first.
Later you will go to the palace to see the emperor, admit your mistakes to the emperor, and ask the emperor for help."
I will resign and go home to be my mother, Ding You.

At the same time, I also want to tell your subordinates in the Shence Army not to fail to obey the imperial edict again.
As for your future whereabouts, I will make arrangements for you."
Wei Boyu knew that Zhao Ziliang accepted him by saying this, otherwise Zhao Ziliang would not have said these words.
He quickly saluted and said: "Yes, I will obey your order."
Zichen Palace.
Prince Li Shi, Prime Minister Yuan Zai, Wang Jin, and eunuch Ju Wenzhen walked into the palace to pay homage to Emperor Daizong: "I will see you, Your Majesty."
Daizong waved his hands and said: "Everyone, get up.
I asked you to come because of the official position of the King of Western Qin in the court.
Now that he is here, I must give him a position.
Otherwise, how can I ask him to do his best to clean up this mess?
You need to know Brother Shu Yao Now they are all surrounded by Li Zhongchen in Xiangyang City, waiting for the imperial army to rescue them."
Yuan Zai bowed his hands and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the talent of the King of Western Qin lies in commanding troops to fight.
In this case, why not ask him to lead the army to attack the rebels?
This is called making the best use of materials and making full use of people's talents."
Yuan Zai was the prime minister and was mainly responsible for the government affairs of the court.
Of course he did not want Zhao Ziliang to usurp his power, so he asked Zhao Ziliang to lead the troops in the war.
This would lead to trouble for the prince Li Shi.
After all, the court now has mobile troops. big Part of it is in the hands of Guo Ziyi, and Guo Ziyi supports the prince Li Shi.
If Zhao Ziliang is responsible for military matters, the military power will inevitably be taken away from Guo Ziyi.
In this way, the strength of the prince's line will be greatly reduced.
Li Shi also grew up in palace fighting.
How could he not understand Yuan Zai's sinister intentions?
He immediately objected: "Father, I think it is inappropriate.
Although the king of Western Qin is good at commanding troops in battle, after all, he was the first to fight."
Why are you here?
He is not familiar with all the troops and horses of our army.
The generals in our army now are not the generals he commanded back then.
It is hard to say whether these people will obey his orders, in case there is another mutiny.
Once it comes out, it will be difficult to clean up.”
Li Yu was trembling after hearing his son's words.
He was already frightened by the mutiny and asked quickly: "What do you think?"
Li Shi said: "Father, I have been to Western Qin, and I have seen many places in Western Qin.
The king of Western Qin is not only good at commanding troops to fight, he is also quite good at government affairs.
Today's Western Qin is comparable to me."
The Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty was prosperous Much more, Zhao Ziliang has been in charge of Western Qin for only how many years.
If he is not good at government affairs, how can he govern Western Qin so that the country is rich and the people are strong.
Therefore, the ministers believe that the king of Western Qin should be appointed as the prime minister of the dynasty, and he should work with Yuan Xiang and others to handle the affairs of the dynasty.
"Government Affairs" Li Shi once again pushed the trouble to Yuan Zai.
Of course Yuan Zai refused to let go and insisted that Zhao Ziliang was the master of the country.
A small matter under the disciple of Tong Zhongshu could satisfy Zhao Ziliang's appetite:
