Zhao Ziliang immediately said to all the court ministers and princes and nobles: "The day before yesterday, someone told me that his wife was forcibly abducted by a military general many years ago and taken as his own, but he was afraid of the other party's power and did not dare to speak out, lest he harmed by it His life was humiliated again.
He didn't tell me about this until the day before yesterday.
I was very angry after hearing this.
When did my general of the Tang Dynasty go to the point of robbing other people's wives and concubines?
He was still a soldier and a soldier.
General?
Can you do it?
The people in the army are all decent people, but he did such an unseemly thing.
Since he no longer wants face, I will certainly not give him dignity.
Who is he, Sha Zhali, the deputy envoy of the Fengxiang Army?
He was defeated and captured by Ge Shuhan, and he loved his fierceness.
The man who bravely accepted him as a general did make some contributions during the Anshi Rebellion.
Is this the only reason and support for someone like him to ignore national laws, violate military rules and disciplines, and harm the people?
I don’t know how many generals in the army have made great achievements.
Those people Why not like him According to this king, he was used to it by the court.
The court thought that he was a barbarian who did not know etiquette and had meritorious service, so it turned a blind eye to what he did and condoned his evil deeds.
Only then did he become more arrogant and lawless yesterday morning The king sent someone to ask him to ask the regent in the afternoon, but he ignored him.
Ha, even the regent, the king, can't call him.
Who else can call him?
What's the use of such a general?
Will he become a scourge to the court by keeping him?
So last night I sent people to arrest him, but I didn’t know that he dared to arrest him.
He also encouraged the soldiers of Fengxiang Army to detain the people who came to arrest him.
He also led Fengxiang Army to confront the escort sent by me.
After a night of fighting, Fengxiang Army was escorted.
The army was defeated, Shazhali and his confidants and tribes More than 8,000 generals and Fengxiang troops were captured, and more than 3,000 others were killed.
This is what happened yesterday.
Today, the king called all the court officials and princes and nobles above the fourth rank.
I need to explain something clearly to you.”
At this point, Zhao Ziliang paused, because he saw a guard captain and several soldiers bringing over Li Baoyu, the governor of Fengxiang Army.
The captain knelt down and bowed to Zhao Ziliang, cupped his fists and said, "Report to the commander-in-chief, Fengxiang Army Jiedu Envoy Li Baoyu will bring him here."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Li Baoyu, who was in his sixties, and asked: "Master Li, your Fengxiang Army has rebelled.
Do you, the Jiedu Envoy, know this?"
Li Baoyu had long sensed that something was wrong.
Not only did the emperor come today, but also senior officials of the fourth rank and above in the imperial court and almost all the princes and nobles in Chang'an.
Something big must have happened.
Unexpectedly, it was his Fengxiang.
The army rebelled, his expression changed instantly, and he immediately prostrated: "Prince Regent Rong Zhen, I was not in the army last night.
I didn't expect such a thing to happen.
I really don't know about this matter."
Zhao Ziliang sneered: "I don't know that you are the military governor of Fengxiang Army.
If you don't know, who else can know that your military governor is in vain?
Then what is the use of your military governor?"
The prince's young master Pei Zunqing, who was nearly eighty years old, stood up and leaned on crutches and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Prince Regent, let me say a word, Mr.
Li made great contributions during the Anshi Rebellion, including the Pu Gu Huai'en rebellion, the barbarian army rebellion, and Yao Zhitong's rebellion.

During the rebellion, Mr.
Li was He had great achievements, so he held many positions.
He was not only the military governor of Fengxiang Army, but also the military governor of Zelu, the governor of Luzhou, and the imperial censor.
He also served as the leader of Chen and Zhengzhou.
With so many duties, it is normal for Feng Xiangju to be neglected."
"Oh" Zhao Ziliang was stunned and asked: "Li Baoyu, do you have a great contribution?
How do you compare with Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and Lai Yi?
How do you compare with me?"
Li Baoyu was suddenly sweating profusely and said repeatedly: "The regent, Guo Linggong, and Marshal Li have all made extraordinary achievements.
They are not as good as the old minister, and they are not as good as the old minister."
"Hmph."
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly, "Just now, Mr.
Pei said that you have too many responsibilities, and it is inevitable that you will neglect the control of the soldiers.
If this can be the reason for your innocence, then you do have too many responsibilities. , the imperial court was originally gracious to you because of your great achievements, but I didn’t expect that letting you hold so many positions would harm you.
In this case, I have decided to suspend all your positions and let you go home and take care of yourself.
Recuperate for a while, lest another person neglects his control, and the court is really going to suffer another disaster, he drafts a royal edict: Li Baoyu's incompetence in commanding the troops and his inability to control his soldiers led to a large-scale rebellion in the Fengxiang army.
From now on, he cannot escape the blame.
From now on, Li Baoyu will be relieved of all his duties, only retaining the title of Duke of Liang Kingdom, and ordering him to reflect on his mistakes at home, and submit a letter of repentance to the king within one month, without any mistakes."
Li Baoyu was completely stunned, but he knew that no matter how wronged he was, he really had to bear this injustice.
Who made the army under his command, the Jiedushi of Fengxiang Army, rebel?
Even though he did not know beforehand, this army was incompetent.
He could not escape the charge of failing to control the soldiers and causing a large-scale rebellion in Fengxiang Army.
This was enough to cost him his life, but he could still save his life and title.
This was Zhao Ziliang's special kindness.
"I am guilty, I obey the king's order."
Li Baoyu burst into tears and kowtowed on the ground.
All the court ministers and princes and nobles present felt very sad.
Among the current generals of the court, except for a few generals such as Guo Ziyi, Li Baoyu had the highest official title.
Now he has been taken down, and he is so understated. .
After the soldiers took away Li Baoyu, Zhao Ziliang looked at the ministers and princes and nobles and said, "What Mr.
Pei just said is indeed true.
Once a person has too many posts, there will inevitably be omissions.
Li Baoyu just now was also wearing Yushi Dafu and Tongzhong Shumenxia Pingzhang Well, this Yushi doctor is the chief of the Yushitai.
What does the Yushitai do?
It is to supervise and impeach hundreds of officials.
Is it really okay to let a local military and political chief not only serve as prime minister, but also as a Yushi doctor?
They monitor themselves and let them monitor themselves.”
"In my opinion, this is not a good thing.
Is it true that our country in the Tang Dynasty really has no talents?
Is it true that the imperial court is so poor that it cannot even afford the salaries of its officials?
It is necessary for one person to hold so many positions in the imperial court and local areas.
The number of official positions in the government is limited.
They are like a carrot and a pit.
You occupy so many pits by yourself.
What should the talented people do?

, it’s okay if you occupy multiple positions by yourself, but you occupy so many positions but don’t work, which makes the government offices of the imperial court unable to operate normally.
No wonder the world has become like this.
On the one hand, wearing multiple positions has caused the government to be unable to function.
Normal operation, on the other hand, those who have not occupied a position must not be willing to accept it.
Why do you occupy more than one person, and I can't occupy any one?"
"In view of the lessons learned from this incident, I have decided: first, from today on, the post of Fengxiang Army Jiedushi will be revoked, and the Fengxiang Army establishment will be abolished."
"Secondly, starting from today, except for the border areas, the imperial court will no longer appoint any military envoys, nor will it appoint any official positions in charge of both political affairs and military and financial power, and will take back the current military envoys one by one.
If If a rebellion breaks out, the imperial court will no longer appoint local officials to recruit troops and horses to counter the rebellion.
The imperial court will directly dispatch the counter-insurgent marshal to lead the army to conquer the rebellion.
Ordnance and equipment will be transported by the imperial court, and the food, grass and baggage will each be borne by the imperial court and the local area."
"Third, cancel the official position of governors in various states and call them all prefects.
The prefects are only responsible for government affairs.
The local defense is to be taken over by defense envoys appointed by the court.
In order to prevent the state defense envoys from taking over the power and disobeying the court's arrangements, one or two defense envoys must be assigned to them.
The deputy envoys serve as a check, decentralization and supervision.
The prefects can supervise military affairs, while the defense envoys have to intervene in local government affairs and can only observe.
If one party makes a mistake, the other party can file a petition for impeachment."
Jia Zhi, the Minister of Rites, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Prince Regent, if you do not appoint Jiedu envoys, the people in many places will be fierce.
If local officials do not have military power, they will not be able to intimidate the place.
In addition, if there is a rebellion, local officials will not have the strength to carry out the operation."
If we wait until the imperial court sends troops to carry out the annihilation in time, it will be too late."
Zhao Ziliang angrily rebuked: "Is the fierceness of the people the reason why local officials cannot intimidate the local area without military power?
If your local officials are diligent and love the people, always have the interests of the people at heart, and always consider the people, the people will How could the surname rebel?
It is said that the government forces the people to rebel, you know?
Without the oppression and oppression of the government, how can the people rebel?
Even if there are a few scoundrels occasionally, local officials still have yamen and policemen who can be used.
If it is true, people have ulterior motives.
It is the responsibility of the local defenders to incite the people to make trouble and rebel.
What do the defense envoys do?
If the scale of the rebellion reaches a certain level, even if the court asks local officials to recruit troops, don't they need time?
Except for a few border areas, other places in the Tang Dynasty no longer appointed Jiedushi, a feudal official with military and political power.
This was the source of trouble that caused the separatist feudal towns."
"In order to solve the problem of grain and grass needed for the army's expedition, in order to prevent the local garrison from transporting grain from the court, and in order to solve the problem of excessive losses in the tax collection process, the king decided to change the previous tax system.
First, divide the tax types into They are local taxes and court taxes.
Local taxes are used as expenses for local governments.
Court taxes are all levied to the court household department and are used to pay the salaries of court officials and office expenses of various yamen. , court and local military expenditures, and other expenditures will change from in-kind collections to money collections.
The salaries of court and local officials will all be paid in silver coins, and no longer will be paid in kind, while the military salaries will be paid in silver coins and will be stationed in areas where supplies are lacking.
Regional armies are provided with military supplies and food by the imperial court, while armies stationed in areas with rich supplies and economically developed areas are provided with military expenses, and the garrison purchases them from local civilians
