After sending away Li Kui and other officials from the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Ziliang then met with Zang Xiyan, Wei Boyu, Luo Yuanguang, and supervisors Ma Chenggong, Gu Tongde, Mu Zihe and others.
"The army is about to go on an expedition the day after tomorrow.
Do the generals have anything to say to me and the emperor?"
Zhao Ziliang asked.
As the commander-in-chief, Zang Xiyan naturally had to express his position first, saying: "Thanks to the regent and His Majesty for their respect and trust, such an important task of leading the army has been entrusted to the veteran.
The veteran cannot pat his chest and guarantee that he will definitely be able to put down Li Zhongchen's rebellion.
He can only do his best."
With the greatest ability, I will not hesitate to leave this old bones in the Xiangyang area."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and looked at Wei Boyu and Luo Yuanguang.
Wei Boyu and Luo Yuanguang said together: "I must take the lead and kill the enemy bravely to relieve the siege of Xiangyang and relieve the worries of the King and His Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and then said: "When I was commanding the army, I often told my generals that as a soldier, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, no matter how deep your wisdom and strategy, the first thing you must do is obey orders. , obey, obey, and obey again.
If a general does not obey the orders of his superior commander or the dispatch of the court, no matter how capable such a person is, he will not be promoted because he will not become a leader.
The pillar of the country will instead become the scourge of the country.
Li Zhongchen made great contributions during the An-Shi Rebellion.
He was highly skilled in martial arts and brave in battle.
Look at what he is doing now.
If the court's actions do not satisfy him even a little bit, he will If they want to rebel, if all the officials and generals of the imperial court are like him, will the world still be peaceful?
The imperial court will never tolerate such people.
I have no control over what the imperial court did in the past. , but now that I am in charge, any local official, military envoy, or general who resists the imperial court, disobeys the imperial court's dispatch, fails to abide by, or does not execute the imperial decree will be ruthlessly annihilated, no matter how great his previous achievements are.
General Zang, I entrust you with the task of contacting the siege of Xiangyang and putting down the rebellion of Li Zhongchen.
It is to show your ability to complete this task.
The battle situation and military situation on the front line are changing rapidly.
Only you, the commander of the army, know the latest enemy situation best.
I and the court will not go beyond you to command Wei Boyu, Luo Yuanguang or any other general.
In the court, only I have the authority to do so.
I have the right to issue an edict to you, and anyone else's order is invalid.
If someone does not issue an order to you through me, you can refuse to accept it.
You only need to be responsible to me and the regent's palace."
Zang Xiyan clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Old minister, I understand."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Wei Boyu and Luo Yuanguang again and said, "One of you is the Shence Army Envoy, and the other is the State Army Envoy.
Wei Boyu, last time the court wanted to transfer you to Jiangling as the prefect, but your generals refused.
Not obeying the edict, Why, the merits of your Shence Army are as high as the sky, and you actually refused to obey the imperial edict.
This is a taboo in the court, and His Majesty is kind and easy to talk to.
If it were in my hands, I would definitely behead all the generals who caused trouble in public.
Let me come to you, the general, to settle accounts.
How did you lead the troops?
Is it because you, the general, didn't know about it, or did you deliberately instigate it secretly?
If this situation of disobeying the order occurs again, even if you don't know about it, I, the king, will never spare you, the general.
If your subordinates do not obey the order, you, the general, will not be able to escape the blame no matter what."
"And you, Luo Yuanguang, your foster father Luo Fengxian has never done anything beneficial to the imperial court.
He also collaborated with Ju Wenzhen and others to form a clique for personal gain, deceive the emperor, frame Zhongliang, and bring trouble to the imperial court.
The emperor has not punished them for their crimes.
The king is not good either Yue Zu acts as their agent, but this does not mean that I will condone them in the future.
If they dare to do the above behavior again, I will never spare them.
What kind of eunuchs are eunuchs?

They should stay in the palace and serve the emperor and the ladies.
Don't think about those who shouldn't. think of something Of course, the Eunuch Party is the Eunuch Party, and you are you.
This king will not treat you differently or put you in the Eunuch Party camp just because your adoptive father is Luo Fengxian.
If you can fulfill the post of military envoy of the Zhenguo Army, during this period, you may It was Luo Fengxian who exerted his strength, and it was also your own efforts. , but you also have the imperial court’s cultivation and trust in you.
Regardless of whether Luo Fengxian has helped you serve as the national army, it is not easy for you to climb to your current position.
I hope that you can be worthy of your own efforts and the imperial court’s support.
Your cultivation and trust” "Listen up, both of you.
Since General Zang was appointed as the commander-in-chief of this counter-rebellion army, his orders are the highest orders for you, as long as there is no conflict between the edicts of the King and the Regent's Palace and General Zang's military orders. , you all must obey General Zang’s command unconditionally.
If you disobey military orders, General Zang can kill him first and then report.”
Wei Boyu and Luo Yuanguang felt cold sweat break out on their vests and their hearts tightened.
They immediately said at the same time: "We must obey General Zang's command and will never dare to disobey military orders."
Zhao Ziliang then looked at the supervisors Ma Chenggong, Gu Tongde, Mu Zihe and others, and said: "You are the supervisors.
Ma Chenggong is the supervisor of the counter-rebellion army.
You are on the same level as General Zang.
Gu Tongde and Mu Zihe are respectively.
He is the supervisor of the Shence Army and the Zhenguo Army.
Army, I am now redefining the rights and responsibilities of military supervision with you.
The Military Justice Department, Military Discipline Enforcement Team, and Supervisory Team of the military are under your command and jurisdiction.
Your responsibility is to supervise military discipline and supervise the generals, officers, and soldiers.
To implement the edicts of the King and the Prince Regent, and to prevent military generals, officers and soldiers from collaborating with the enemy and rebels, you can participate in all military meetings and military intelligence briefings, put forward your own views and opinions on combat strategies, and express your opinions on the commander-in-chief's combat plans.
If you question, the general must also give a clear explanation, but you cannot interfere with the general’s decision-making, command, and training plans for the army.
Military discipline in the army is under your jurisdiction.
If anyone violates military discipline, you have the right to directly After being involved in the investigation, you have the right to suspend the generals, deputy generals and generals below, and restrict their freedom of life, and then open a case for investigation; if the deputy generals and chief generals violate military discipline, you must first issue a warning to them, and then issue a letter to the Prince Regent's Palace, waiting for the Prince Regent's Palace If someone is suspected of collaborating with the enemy or attempting to launch a rebellion, the deputy general, chief general and other generals and commanders below may first suspend their duties and restrict their freedom of life before conducting an investigation, but there must be a time limit.
If no further evidence or clues can be found within five days, they must be released.
If the deputy general and general are suspected of collaborating with the enemy or attempting to launch a rebellion, there must be clear and conclusive evidence before coercive measures can be taken to stop them. position, restricting their freedom of life, the command of the army will automatically be taken over by the highest-ranking general in the army, and you have no right to deal with them without authorization.
You must immediately write a letter to the Regent's Palace, and the Regent's Palace will make the decision."
"Several generals, I am not changing the authority and responsibilities of supervising the army, not to deliberately target any one person, but because this is a necessary part of the military reform of our imperial army.
In the future, all imperial armies will carry out such regulations.
In this way, on the one hand, it reduces the disadvantages of the supervisory army interfering with the general's command, and on the other hand, it can also supervise those generals who are not determined and prevent them from making mistakes early.
Some time ago, Emperor Xuanzong asked me, "You are so harsh on your subordinates.
Aren't you worried that they will resent you in their hearts?"
I told Emperor Xuanzong, "I would rather they resent me than regret it when they commit beheading in the future."
You are strict with your subordinates and have strict demands on them.
This is not a sign of being unkind, but a sign of caring for them.
I have long said to my subordinates that it is not easy for the imperial court to cultivate an outstanding general.
What does it mean to be a good general?
The growth of a famous general will inevitably be accompanied by the sacrifice of tens of millions of soldiers under his command.
The experience of generals in marching and fighting is accumulated by the bones of their soldiers.
As a high-ranking general in the army, you must take good care of your generals. , Strictly restrain and supervise them to prevent them from committing unforgivable mistakes.
This is to protect them, not to be harsh.
If it is because of your indulgence and protection, let them They have deviated from the right path and committed unforgivable crimes.
When the court wants to hold them accountable, what can you do to continue to protect them, or should you just follow them?
Go and ask outside and see what the people think of the imperial army.
They are like bandits.
They see The imperial army reacted with fear rather than support.

The image of the Tang army has been corrupted to such an extent.
Isn't this the responsibility of the superiors?"
After listening to Zhao Ziliang's words, Zang Xiyan clasped his fists and said: "Military discipline in the army has indeed been corrupted in recent years.
In order to gain the support of their generals, some generals condoned their violations of military discipline.
Some even condoned their generals' behavior during the march or in battle.
Loot after the end People.
Although the veteran knows, he is no longer in the army and can't do anything.
Now that the king and his majesty value the trust of the veteran, the veteran can promise the king that during the expedition, the veteran will never allow this to happen.
Once discovered, please The supervisors will enforce the law immediately to serve as a warning to others.”
Wei Boyu and Luo Yuanguan also immediately expressed their stance: "Wei Chen and others also firmly support the king's decision, respect the law enforcement and supervisory powers of the supervisory army in the army, and will never condone or cover up violations of military disciplines, and will not condone or cover up those who are suspected of collaborating with the enemy or attempting rebellion."
We will never conceal or cover up our actions, and support the Supervisory Army in thoroughly investigating such cases."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "If you can think so, I will be relieved.
Everyone, the Tang Dynasty cannot continue to be in chaos.
The people have suffered enough.
History is not created by me and the rest of you, but by the people of the world.
Choosing, even without me, Zhao, and you, Zang, Wei Boyu, and Luo Yuanguang, there will still be others who will do this.
As long as the people of the world choose peace, someone will stand up to end the war and fight for peace.
On the contrary, if the social atmosphere is corrupt, the government is weak, the officialdom is full of corruption, and the people are miserable, the people will choose war.
Through war, they will end the previous political structure and rule, reorganize social resources and distribute them, so that the people can live.
Only if we do this first will society progress and civilization develop.
The difference is that if we do this first, the names left in the history books will be ours, including me and you
