Chapter 992: See the Emperor in the Inner Palace


"Very good."

Zhao Ziliang glanced at Ju Wenzhen.

After taking the military power of the Shence Army, he said to the ministers: "The siege of Xiangyang must be lifted as soon as possible.

If troops are transferred from Guanzhong, they must first prepare food, grass, ordnance, and pay.

Time is too long, Xiangyang Brother Shu Yao is afraid that he can't afford to wait.

The nearest army is Liang Chongyi's tribe in Dengzhou, but Liang Chongyi's tribe is not very obedient to the orders.

Since Liang Chongyi gathered his troops and horses under the banner of revenge for Lai Yao, it means that this person is arrogant and domineering.

Not completely rebellious yet , if he wants to rebel, I am afraid that the generals under his command will not agree.

At least in the short term, he will not have the conditions to rebel, and then the court may have the opportunity to take back this army.

Therefore, after much thought, I still think that he should Send a debater to Deng The prefecture persuaded Liang Chongyi to send troops to relieve the siege of Xiangyang.

At the same time, a troop of troops was sent to Xiangyang.

If Liang Chongyi could not be recaptured, the court could only send this troop to relieve the siege of Xiangyang.

Everyone, who is willing to go to Dengzhou to persuade Liang Chongyi?

"Sending troops" Liang Chongyi has not listened to the court's orders for quite some time.

He has always been arrogant and domineering, and anyone who tries to persuade him without a certain level of eloquence will be killed as if he has just entered Liang Chongyi's sphere of influence.

No one stood up, and the ministers and generals whispered to each other in low voices.

Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "Humph, aren't all of you eloquent in court?

How can you convince Liang Chongyi that he doesn't have such talent?

Or he is talented but doesn't have the guts to worry about being killed by Liang Chongyi?"

All the ministers lowered their heads when Zhao Ziliang spoke.

In the past, ministers could speak eloquently in front of Li Yu at court meetings.

At that time, because Li Yu had a weak temperament, he was hesitant and lacked decisiveness in doing things.

Now that Zhao Ziliang is in power, Zhao Ziliang is a strong figure, and the arrogance of the courtiers has been suppressed.

Zhao Ziliang looked among the ministers and his eyes fell on Yan Zhenqing and Guo Ziyi.

Both of them had served as envoys to the rebel army and successfully persuaded the rebels to surrender or withdraw.

Zhao Ziliang asked: "Guo Ziyi, what is your current official position?"

Guo Ziyi said: "Zhongshu Ling, Deputy Marshal of Guan Nei" Zhongshu Ling is the highest official of Zhongshu Province, which is the decision-making body of the Tang Dynasty.

Most major military and political affairs are decided by Zhongshu Province, reviewed by the subordinate provinces, then handed over to the emperor for approval, and finally handed over to Shangshu Province for execution.

The deputy marshal position within the pass was only a temporary official position, and Guo Ziyi had just led his army back to Chang'an.

Although he had handed over military power, his position had not yet been removed.

Zhao Ziliang asked again: "While you are fighting outside, can the Zhongshu Province operate normally?"

"Of course, although I am leading troops to fight abroad, Zhongshu Province still has important positions such as Zhongshu Shilang and Zhongshu Sheren to handle the official affairs of Zhongshu Province."

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "You have the experience of riding back to He alone, which shows that you are not only courageous but also very eloquent.

How about you reluctantly go to Dengzhou again this time?"

Prince Li Shi hurriedly said: "Prince Regent, the situation this time is different from the original retreat of the Hehe troops.

At that time, the Uighurs were deceived by Pugu Huai'en, so they rebelled with other barbarian troops."

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "I know that Liang Chongyi did not rely on deceiving his soldiers to gather the army left by Lai Ai.

Did he really dare to lead his army to avenge Lai Ai?

There were ten servants of Huai'en, Huihe and Tubo and other barbarian troops."

There are tens of thousands of people, but how many soldiers and horses Liang Chongyi has in his hands can't be compared."

Li Shi wanted to say again that Guo Ziyi knew that Zhao Ziliang had already made a decision, and no matter what Li Shi said, he could not change this decision.

Without waiting for Li Shi to continue speaking, he stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to persuade Liang Chongyi."

"Okay, this matter is settled.

I will give you three days to prepare.

After three days, you will set off for Dengzhou."

Guo Ziyi agreed: "Yes" Zhao Ziliang asked the ministers again: "Do you have any other military and political affairs to report?"

No one answered.

Zhao Ziliang said: "Well, today's court meeting has ended here.

The officials of the relevant ministries will immediately begin to implement the matters just agreed upon after the court disperses.

I will also report to the emperor the various resolutions of this court meeting.

Let's disperse."

A eunuch next to him shouted loudly: "Retreat from the court" When the ministers gradually dispersed, Zhao Ziliang told an attendant: "Go and tell Bai Xiugui, the young minister of agriculture, the minister of inspection and work, the governor of Liangzhou, Zhang Xiancheng, the observer of the South West Road of Chongshan, and Luo Yuanguang, the governor of the Zhenguo Army.

Later, come to the Prince Regent’s Palace to see me.”

The attendant agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ziliang then asked the eunuch to lead him to the inner palace to meet Li Yu.

At this time, Li Yu was playing chess with the noble concubine Dugu in the garden.

At this time, Li Yu's wife Cui Guifei when he was King Guangping had passed away.

Cui Guifei was the daughter of a Korean lady.

Her aunt was Yang Yuhuan.

During the Maweiyi Incident that year, her father Cui Xun and her mother Yang and several other aunts, Mrs.

Guo Guo and Mrs.

Qin Guo, were all killed by rebel soldiers at the same time.

She was also implicated and lost Li Yu's favor.

She died in depression a few years after returning to Chang'an.

In addition to his wife Cui Guifei, Li Yu had two concubines that he was extremely fond of.

One was the Shen family and the other was the Dugu family.

Shen is the name made up by Shen Zhenzhu, the biological mother of Prince Li Shi, in the novel and TV series.

There is no record of Shen's name in historical materials.

After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the rebels attacked Tongguan, and Emperor Xuanzong fled in panic, leaving behind a large number of concubines and royal family members.

Chang'an, after the rebels captured Chang'an, these people were captured by the rebels, and Shen was one of them.

Later, when the Tang army recaptured Luoyang, the Shen family was discovered in Yeting in Luoyang Palace, along with other princesses, princesses, and concubines.

At that time, Zhao Ziliang sent someone to report the matter to Xuanzong.

Xuanzong thought that these women had been captured by the rebels. , no longer chaste, refused to let Zhao Ziliang send them back to Beijing, so these women stayed in Luoyang Palace, including Shen.

After Zhao Ziliang led his army back to Western Qin after the conquest of Tubo, the rebels captured Luoyang again, and Shen disappeared since then.

Dugu is the eldest daughter of Dugu Ying, a member of Zuowei Weilu who joined the army.

She is extremely favored by Li Yu.

However, Dugu is very virtuous and does not participate in government affairs or have relatives.

Moreover, she also has great literary attainments, including poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. , everything is perfect.

In this regard, it can be said that she and Li Yu have a lot of ideological resonance.

The Shen family is completely different from the Dugu family.

The Dugu family is a gentle woman, while the Shen family is a heroic and strong-willed woman.

Therefore, the Shen family does not really like Li Yu's weak and indecisive character.

There are rumors in the market After Luoyang was once again captured by Shi Siming's army, Shen ran away with one of Shi Siming's brave generals.

"Your Majesty, the regent is here," the chamberlain reported to Li Yu, who was concentrating on playing chess.

Li Yu turned around, quickly put down the chess pieces in his hand and greeted Zhao Ziliang who was walking over: "Uncle is here."

The Dugu family immediately stood up and said a blessing to Zhao Ziliang: "I have met my uncle."

Zhao Ziliang clasped his fists and bowed: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Li Yu said quickly: "Uncle, you don't need to be polite, just give the regent a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty" The Dugu family was very discerning and knew that Zhao Ziliang must have something important to discuss with the emperor when he came over, so he said to the two of them: "Your Majesty, please talk to your uncle.

I will leave first."

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to avoid the imperial concubine, and there are no confidential matters.

The empress stays in the palace all day long and doesn't know much about the outside world.

You can still hear something new if you stay."

Hearing this, Dugu Shi looked at Li Yu.

Li Yu smiled and said, "Since my uncle said it doesn't matter, then you can stay."

"yes" After several people sat down, Zhao Ziliang said: "I am here to report to Your Majesty the proceedings and resolutions of the court meeting.

Before that, I would like to ask Your Majesty, do you know the power structure in the court clearly?"

Li Yu nodded and said: "Of course, if I don't even know the power structure in the court, then I really don't deserve to sit in the position of emperor."

The palace maid brought tea, Zhao Ziliang took it and took a sip.

He touched the tea cup and said: "The struggle between the three forces in the court today is an eye-opener for me.

The Tang Dynasty has reached this situation, and they still have thoughts."

Fighting with each other.

I originally thought that when I first arrived and was appointed as regent by His Majesty, they would definitely unite to resist me.

However, I didn’t expect that I just used a few small tricks to make them start fighting with each other.

The situation was intolerable.

Be optimistic” Li Yu was a little worried after hearing what Zhao Ziliang said, and said: "I'm not afraid of my uncle's jokes.

I also know that my temper is a bit weak.

I often can't make up my mind when it comes to major military and political issues.

I always hesitate.

But this is innate, and I also There is no way.

The current power structure formed by the ministers in the DPRK is actually caused by my connivance.

This is all my fault."

Zhao Ziliang said: "Your Majesty, you should not always take the blame on yourself.

As a king, sometimes for political needs, it is feasible to occasionally admit mistakes to the people of the world, which can win people's hearts, but you must not do it all the time, otherwise Your Majesty's prestige will be lost.

The last time His Majesty issued an edict to offend oneself, in my view, His Majesty was a little determined to have his own way.

Your Majesty did not see the bad consequences of this edict to offend oneself.

It made the separation of vassal towns legal, and the court wanted to reduce the vassalage again.

The difficulty will increase more than ten times.

Since His Majesty came to power, he has been remarkable in many aspects.

For example, in order to put an end to the Anshi Rebellion as soon as possible, His Majesty tolerated the remnants of the Anshi Rebellion, such as reforming water transportation, reforming salt administration, and reforming grain prices.

Emperor Xiao Xuanzong suggested that the remaining rebels must not be tolerated.

Evil, especially those rebel generals, can allow them to surrender, but they must not be allowed to command troops again.

Even if they are allowed to command troops, they cannot be allowed to command their original troops, and they cannot stay where they are.

Maybe it is Ming.

Emperor Xiao died in such a hurry that he had no time to make arrangements”:
