The vassal reduction in the Guanzhong area is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Zhao Ziliang is particularly concerned about this.
Both the government and the public are also paying attention to the progress of this matter.
It is directly related to whether this major policy measure of reducing the vassal order can continue.
Facts have proved that the imperial court's influence in the Guanzhong area is still quite large.
At least in the Guanzhong area, no official dares to refuse to implement the imperial decree.
Just as the vassal reduction in the Guanzhong area was in progress, on the official road from Xichuan to Liangzhou, a group of 100 soldiers and horses escorted several luxury carriages walking on the official road.
Near noon, this team arrived at Hanzhong City, where Liangzhou was governed.
At the city gate, a group of soldiers and horses quickly drove out from the city and lined up on both sides of the city gate.
The soldiers in this group of soldiers and horses all looked serious and energetic. .
After the troops and horses lined up on both sides of the city gate, several officials rode out of the city.
The approaching small team stopped at the gate of the city.
The general leading the escort rode up to the front carriage, clasped his fists and said to the people in the carriage: "Sir, the officials from Hanzhong City have come out, and they must have received your honor."
We were greeted upon arrival news.”
Du Jianhong, who was sitting in the carriage, had just dozed off.
He woke up after the carriage stopped.
He knocked on the door after hearing the voice of the escorting general.
A soldier next to him lifted the curtain, put down the footstool, and stretched out a He helped Du Jianhong get out of the carriage with one hand.
After landing, Du Jianhong stretched his muscles and ordered the soldiers next to him: "Go and call Mr.
Han over."
"Yes."
The soldier agreed, then turned around and rode back.
The Master Han Du Hongjian mentioned was named Han Cheng.
This time he was ordered by the court to go to Chang'an to report on his duties.
He happened to meet Du Hongjian on the road, so the two of them traveled together.
Han Cheng was the governor of Puzhou.
After the death of Yan Wu, the former military governor of Xichuan, Duji, the marching commander, Guo Yingqian, the military commander of Duzhi, and Guo Jialin, the Marquis of Duyu, jointly petitioned the court to appoint Guo Ying as military governor of Xichuan.
However, Xishan Duzhi's military envoy Cui Ru and other generals jointly petitioned the court to appoint Wang Chongjun as the military envoy.
Both memorials arrived in the capital, but the court had already decided to appoint Guo Ying as the military envoy of Xichuan.
When Guo Ying heard about this incident when he arrived in Chengdu, he framed Wang Chongjun and killed him.
Cui Ruo and others were afraid that Guo Ying would cause trouble for them.
After all, they jointly requested Wang Chongjun to be the governor of Xichuan, so Cui Ruo and others took the initiative and launched a rebellion.
Guo Ying immediately sent troops to attack, but Guo Ying had just arrived in Chengdu not long ago and was not very familiar with Xichuan's soldiers.
He was not very good at commanding troops and horses in battle, and was always hampered.
Cui Yu and others took advantage of this and defeated Guo Ying.
Ying, Guo Ying had to flee to Jianzhou.
Han Cheng, who was the governor of Puzhou at the time, received the news and believed that Cui Yuan had controlled the situation in Xichuan.
In the future, Xichuan would definitely have the final say in Xichuan.
In order to please Cui Yun, Han Cheng sent troops to invade Jianzhou and killed Guo Ying.
He killed his whole family and sent Guo Ying's head to Chengdu as a memorial service.
This matter was quickly discovered by Xuan Shiba's spies and immediately reported to Chang'an.
Zhao Ziliang was furious after receiving the report.
Xichuan was really lawless.
Although Guo Ying was guilty of falsely accusing Wang Chongjun, he had the right to deal with him.
It can only be the imperial court, just urging the rebellion.

Han Cheng, the governor of Puzhou, is also involved.
Do you really think that the imperial court has nothing to do with Xichuan?
So Zhao Ziliang ordered Han Cheng to be removed from Puzhou in the name of transferring Han Cheng to Chang'an as an official.
State transfer.
Because Han Cheng had been promoted, he had no doubts.
He happily packed his bags and headed to Chang'an, where he met Du Hongjian on the way.
Han Cheng was lifting the carriage curtain and looking forward when he saw Du Hongjian's Qing soldiers coming over and telling him that Hanzhong officials were coming out of the city to greet them.
Du Hongjian asked him to go to the front to meet with Hanzhong officials.
Han Cheng got off the carriage and came to the front of the team.
He cupped his hands and said to Du Hongjian: "Prime Minister Du."
Du Hongjian pacified Xichuan as prime minister.
In order to win over the arrogant and domineering local military envoys, the imperial court often gave them the title of envoy Ping Zhangshi, and called them envoys and prime ministers, but they did not exercise the title of prime ministers.
Du Jianhong pacified Xichuan as prime minister and was also an envoy, so Han Cheng called him Prime Minister Du.
Du Hongjian nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that officials from Hanzhong City are here to greet you.
Let's go over."
In front of Du Hongjian, Han Cheng did not dare to be presumptuous.
This was the prime minister.
After returning to the capital, he was a powerful figure.
It was too late to curry favor.
How dare he make a mistake in front of him?
So Han Cheng immediately held up his hands and said: "Mr.
Du, Mr. please" The two of them walked towards the city gate with a few followers.
An official in the middle stepped forward and saluted: "Xue Jingxian, the prefect of Liangzhou, pays homage to Prime Minister Du and Mr.
Han.
The two Shangguan returned to Beijing and passed through Liangzhou.
As parents here, Xiaguan should do his best."
As a courtesy of the landlord, I would like to invite the two Shangguan officials to go into the city and rest for two days.
The Xiaguan and others have already prepared a small amount of wine for the two Shangguan officials to wash away their dust."
Du Hongjian said happily: "Okay, since Mr.
Xue is so polite, I will rest in Hanzhong for two days before setting off."
Xue Jingxian cupped his hands and said, "Please, Mr.
Du and Mr.
Han.
Please stay outside the city with your guards and horses.
I will send someone to entertain you."
"Okay."
Du Hongjian nodded and said to the entourage beside him: "Go and drive the ladies' carriage into the city, and let the entourage stay outside to station themselves."
"yes" Du Hongjian and Han Cheng took their families and accompanied Xue Jingxian and others to the Liangzhou Prefecture.
Walking to the door, Han Cheng saw the plaque on the eaves of the government office and couldn't help asking: "Master Xue, aren't you going to a banquet?
Why did you come to your government office?"
Xue Jingxian cupped his hands and smiled and said: "My lords, please forgive me.
Recently, the imperial censors have been very strict and have to take care of any banquets held in restaurants outside to entertain officials.
For the sake of safety, I have to invite the cook to the government office." " "That's it."
Du Hongjian and Han Cheng were relieved.
After entering the government office, Du Hongjian asked: "Why did Yushitai become so nosy?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The court just lets them do whatever they want."
Just when Xue Jingxian didn't know how to answer, three officials and a group of fully armed government servants walked towards him.
When they saw the officials' uniforms and official hats, they turned out to be people from Yushitai.
Du Hongjian and Han Cheng suddenly felt dissatisfied.
Good hunch.
The three officials stopped in front of everyone.
A middle-aged official in the middle stepped forward and said, "Are these two Du Hongjian and Han Cheng?"
Han Cheng was immediately furious, pointed at the middle-aged censor and shouted: "Bold, the names of Prime Minister Du and me are something you, a little sixth-grade censor, can call directly."
"The imperial censor, Shi Gu Mo Sheng, who served in the Taiyuan of Xichuan, received a report that Du Hongjian colluded with Cui Ni when he was the governor of Xichuan, accepted huge bribes from Cui Ni, colluded with him, and deceived the court; When Han Cheng was the governor of Puzhou, he sent troops to Jianzhou without permission to kill his predecessor.
Xichuan Jiedushi Guo Ying and his family, after detailed verification by the Yushitai, the information reported by the informant was basically true.
The regent issued an edict: Du Hongjian and Han Cheng violated the national law and betrayed the emperor's kindness.
They were guilty of unpardonable crimes and should be reported to the Yushitai immediately.
Arrest and bring him to justice, remove him from his post, investigate the person who came, and arrest him."
Du Hongjian was completely stunned.
He only found out about Zhao Ziliang being the regent and presiding over the government on his way back.
After all, Xichuan has high mountains and long roads.
It has not yet begun spring, the roads are not smooth, and the transmission of news is slow.
It was three months ago and he had just received the news.
Han Cheng shouted: "It's impossible.
How can it be impossible for the imperial court to transfer me to Beijing to serve?
It's impossible?"
No one paid attention to Han Cheng's shouting.
The heavily armed government officials stepped forward to put wooden shackles on Du Hongjian and Han Cheng.
Their families panicked and cried after seeing them from behind, but the people in Liangzhou Mansion The soldiers stopped them and prevented them from approaching Du Hongjian and Han Cheng.
Han Cheng screamed for a while and then stopped and said harshly: "If I had known this, I should not have left Puzhou.
The mountains are high in Puzhou and the emperor is far away.
I am the king and hegemon in Puzhou.
Who can do anything to me?"
Sample" Gu Mo Sheng sneered and spoke righteously to Han Cheng: "Boldly, this world belongs to the Tang Empire.
Is it the land of the king in the whole world?
Is it the king's ministers who are on the shore of the land?
You, a small governor of Puzhou, dare to say that in Puzhou Now the regent is in charge and will never tolerate any form of separatist rule.
Those who attempt to separatist kings will not end well.
Come and take them away."
Du Hongjian was taken away without any resistance.
He knew that resistance would be useless.
Since the court had already taken action, it must have made complete preparations.
At this time, the accompanying soldiers who were left outside the city were probably also taken away.
All disarmed.
Han Cheng was unwilling to be reduced to a prisoner, and was still struggling and roaring when he was taken away by the government officials.
Mo Gusheng led the remaining government servants to the family members of Du Hongjian and Han Cheng, and said to everyone: "Under the auspices of the regent, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple made some relevant changes to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as there are no criminals, Anyone who commits the crime of treason, rebellion, or separatism will not bring harm to his family.
Du Hongjian only accepted the bribe and did not commit the crimes of treason and separatism.
Du Hongjian's family will not be implicated, but you need to stay in Liangzhou for a few days and accept the supervision of the Yushitai.
You can only leave after our investigation and interrogation are over.

Han Cheng sent troops without permission to kill the people appointed by the imperial court.
Guo Ying, the military governor of Xichuan, conspired to treason and exterminated the men of the Nine Tribes.
The female family members must be supervised by the local government on weekdays.
They will all be taken away and resettled in a chosen place."
The officials at Yushitai took all the family members of Du Hongjian and Han Cheng to a suitable place and placed them under supervision.
Gu Mosheng walked up to Xue Jingxian and clasped his fists and smiled: "Master Xue, thank you for your help these days.
I may trouble Master Xue and all of you in the past few days.
Please forgive me for disturbing me.
If you arrive in the capital, please be sure to Send someone to inform the lower officials, and the lower officials must do their best to serve as landlords."
Xue Jingxian and others returned the favor one after another: "Mr.
Gu, you are so polite.
This is what you should do."
