Chapter 1063: Exceptional appointment of Li Baozhen


On March 28th, Zhao Ziliang rarely took time to accompany his wife and children to a spring outing outside the city.

It was almost noon, and the family was having a good time.

They were preparing to light a fire and barbecue on the spot when they saw Xuan Shiba galloping towards him on horseback.

Before the horse stopped, he jumped off the horse and ran towards Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang and his family all heard the sound of horse hooves and couldn't help turning their heads to look over.

They saw Xuan Shiba running over and holding his fists panting: "Your Majesty, something has happened.

Prince Li Shi and Heyang Jiedushi Li Yuanchun led their troops to attack Bianzhou.

The army was ambushed by Li Lingyao in the northwest direction of Zhongmou.

The army suffered heavy casualties.

The prince himself was shot in the back shoulder armor while escaping and was seriously injured."

Zhao Ziliang's expression changed, and he stood up from the grass involuntarily.

He turned to Chen Qingying, Nie Sanniang, Mrs.

Meng and others and said, "I'm going back.

You guys can play here and play more."

Chen Qingying was also a little worried.

After all, Li Shi was the prince.

It was not a trivial matter for the prince to be seriously injured.

She was quite worried: "Will something happen?"

"What happened?"

Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, if the sky doesn't fall, things in the court are not your concern.

He, Li Lingyao, can't change the sky."

Nie Sanniang said: "The elder sister is talking about the prince.

If the prince has any shortcomings, will the court situation be affected?

Will the ongoing vassal reduction order be stopped midway?

Will the courtiers doubt your ability to govern?"

Zhao Ziliang was silent.

Nie Sanniang hit the mark on the questions he had thought of just now.

There is no doubt that if Prince Li Shi dies from serious injuries, those ministers and officials in the court who are dissatisfied with him may cause trouble, and the emperor will not Will he intervene in the government affairs?

What will he do if the emperor goes against his promise and breaks his promise not to interfere in the government affairs again?

Once the emperor restrains him, he will inevitably be restrained in handling the government affairs.

After spinning in his mind several times, Zhao Ziliang came back to his senses and said to the girls: "I will take care of this matter, so don't worry.

There is no use worrying.

If I, the regent, really can't do it anymore, the worst is possible, let's go back to Western Qin. , I will never care about this mess again in the future.”

Hurrying back to the Regent's Palace, Zhao Ziliang saw Xuan Jiu waiting at the gate of the palace.

He dismounted and told Xuan Jiu: "Take my tiger talisman and go to the Baqiao Camp in person and convey it to Liu Yunteng, the deputy general of the Third Army.

The king's order asked him to lead 10,000 troops to quickly join Li Sheng.

At the same time, he sent eight hundred miles to Shaanzhou to convey the king's order to Li Sheng, so that he did not have to wait for Liu Yun.

Teng tribe, after receiving the king's military order, quickly led the army to Xingyang, met with Heyang Jiedu envoy Li Yuanchun, and stood by in place.

If a fighter plane appeared, they could move freely without asking for instructions.

In addition, the Western Qin army was an outsider in the hinterland of the Central Plains after all.

Army, tell him to strictly restrain the officers and soldiers.

In terms of jurisdiction, the Western Qin Army only obeys the military orders of the king, and is not subject to anyone else's control."

"Yes" Xuan Jiu took the tiger talisman and immediately sent someone to convey the order.

Zhao Ziliang did this after careful consideration.

Li Yuanchun was originally a rare general.

In terms of qualifications, he was not much worse than Guo Ziyi and others.

They were all senior generals who rose up during the Anshi Rebellion.

However, this man had always kept a low profile and led the troops in combat.

He has talent, and the combat power of his troops is also quite good, otherwise the imperial court would not have arranged for him to be in Heyang to guard against Tian Shenyu.

But now Li Yuanchun's troops have suffered heavy losses.

If Li Lingyao attacks Xingyang in one go, Li Yuanchun cannot stop Li Lingyao's attack, and the rebels will inevitably attack Luoyang again, and then the situation will become more complicated.

Therefore, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered Li Sheng to lead the army to Xingyang for reinforcements.

At the same time, he would not be allowed to rule Li Yuanchun, nor would Li Yuanchun be allowed to rule him.

The reason for this arrangement was mainly because the outsiders of the Third Army, if Li Sheng were Coordinating the overall situation to counter the rebellion, he was worried that Li Yuanchun, Zhang Yi, Zang Xiyan, Wei Yuanfu and others would not accept it.

After all, if the guests made the decision, the host would certainly be unhappy.

Other things were fine, and marching and fighting were not child's play.

If the Third Army was put under the command of the Central Plains court generals, the soldiers of the Third Army would probably be dissatisfied.

Therefore, Zhao Ziliang could only let them fight their own way.

Although there was a lack of unified cooperation, they were in the same camp after all.

The enemies are clear.

Zhao Ziliang came to the main hall of the palace.

Gao Shang, Du Fu, Li Mi, Li Muchen and other palace staff officials and generals were already waiting here.

When everyone saw him coming in, they all stood up and clasped their fists and saluted: "I have met the king."

"No courtesy, please take a seat."

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand, walked to the main seat and sat down, and said: "I have heard a rough outline of the situation.

Eighteen, please tell me the details.

Why did the prince encounter an ambush?

His current injuries What's going on?

How is Li Yuanchun's situation in Xingyang?"

Xuan Shiba said: "According to the spies' report, the prince relaxed his vigilance after the news that Zhang Yi had defended Weizhou and Tian Yue had withdrawn his troops.

In addition, the prince was eager to make contributions and could not listen to Pei Mian, Yang Wan and others.

Li Yuanchun and others had no choice but to lead troops there.

Due to the hasty dispatch of troops, Li Yuanchun and others had no choice but to lead troops there.

The investigation along the way was too weak, and Li Lingyao took advantage of it.

After the prince was injured and was escorted by his own soldiers, he was already unconscious when he fled to Xingyang.

Pei Mian and others thought that Xingyang was not safe, so they escorted the prince to evacuate overnight.

Luoyang, the current extent of the prince's injury is still unclear, and the news cannot come out so soon."

Zhao Ziliang nodded, looked at the staff and asked: "The prince's current situation is that he will no longer be able to stay on the front line and lead the army to counter the rebellion.

The imperial court will definitely send a new candidate to take over the post of marshal.

I don't know who you think will be in charge of countering the rebellion."

Marshal is suitable" Li Mi cupped his hands and said: "There are not many prestigious handsome men in the court now.

Guo Ziyi, Zang Xiyan, Li Baoyu, Wang Sili, and Li Yuanchun are all qualified.

However, Wang Sili is in Xichuan, and he recently stated that he is not in good health and is seriously ill, and he wants to remove his armor.

Returning to the fields to recuperate; Li Baoyu is raising horses in Huaixi.

His matter has not been revealed yet, so it seems inappropriate to use him now; Li Yuanchun's talents have not been questioned However, he did not have enough prestige.

This time he was a defeated general.

If he wanted to be the commander, he was afraid that he would not be able to command other troops.

Guo Ziyi was responsible for the training of the Dengzhou Army and the Huaixi Army in Dengzhou.

If someone else was sent to take over the training, He is suitable.

General Zang Xiyan is old and serious, and he is also a good candidate.

However, he has been away from the army for a long time, and few generals of the younger generation know him."

Zhao Ziliang said: "In this way, the two people who are most qualified to be the counter-rebellion marshals are Guo Ziyi and Zang Xiyan.

Guo Ziyi is indeed a rare marshal.

He has had few defeats in the past.

He is also good at dealing with complex relationships in the military.

He is even more senior.

Body and mind, but he brings I don’t like or agree with the way of the soldiers.

Generosity and generous rewards can indeed win over the hearts of the soldiers, but it can also easily breed their arrogance.

If he is made the marshal, all the soldiers and horses will cause harm to the place and destroy the place while fighting.

If it’s bigger, what’s the point of counterinsurgency?”

Several staff members looked at each other, and Du Fu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, in the past, this matter had to be carefully considered, but now your Majesty does not need to think about this issue.

Your Majesty only needs to send a supervisor to be in charge of military discipline, and then send a deputy general to be in charge.

To record merits and rewards, Guo Ziyi only needs to direct the battle, and he does not need to take care of other things."

After careful consideration, Zhao Ziliang made a final decision: "Okay, let Guo Ziyi be the marshal of the counter-rebellion, and Lu Qi be appointed as the general superintendent of the army.

Li Baozhen, the young eunuch in the palace, will be transferred to Dengzhou to preside over the training.

Honglu Shaoqing Liu Daoqian will be transferred to Dengzhou to do the work."

Li Baozhen supervises the army and sets off immediately after receiving the order, without any mistakes."

"yes" After the order was issued, the Yamen sent eight hundred miles to rush to various places, especially Li Baozhen.

After receiving the order, he immediately came to the Regent's Mansion to ask for an audience.

He wanted to see Zhao Ziliang once before departure.

A general must see the master once before leaving Chang'an.

The politician used to be the emperor, but now he is Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang put down his brush and stood up from his seat.

As he walked out, he called for Li Baozhen to follow him.

The two of them came to the palace courtyard and walked slowly on the path.

Zhao Ziliang said: "Your brother Li Baoyu made mistakes during the Fengxiang Army rebellion, so the court wants to hold him accountable and punish him to go to Huaixi to raise horses.

But this matter has nothing to do with you.

I am in charge of politics differently from others.

Just because one person has made a mistake, all his relatives will not be implicated and he will be wary of his relatives.

This is irrational behavior."

"Now the imperial court is in the midst of recruiting people, so I am considering making special appointments to those generals who are not qualified but are talented.

You are one of them.

You are asked to go to Dengzhou to preside over the training of the former Dengzhou Army and the Huaixi Army. , this is what the king and the court say to you.

Trust me, the opportunity has been given to you.

Whether you can seize it or not depends on you.

If you are like other vassal towns and do whatever you want when you get to the place, disobeying the court's control and disobeying the court's dispatch, you will end up with the same fate.

Just like those traitors who were executed.”

"I am not saying this because I don't believe you.

I am just giving you a warning in advance.

There are always times when you are confused.

I hope that when you are confused in the future, you can occasionally think of what I said to you today.

Here, I, Merits will be rewarded, promoted, and will be accepted If you make a mistake, you will also be punished.

If you make a mistake, you will not be punished and you will be promoted and make a fortune.

There is also no phenomenon of not making progress and staying in this position forever.

In this king's case, being an official is the same as Sail against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.”

"As a general, as long as you are loyal to the court and the Tang Dynasty, and always put the interests of the court and the Tang Dynasty first, you don't have to worry about your achievements being wiped out, or that someone will frame you behind your back.

Give you little shoes to wear, you Instead of worrying about these things, it is better to put all your thoughts on how to lead troops, train troops, and how to march and fight, because I am not an old fool, and I am not someone who can be fooled and deceived by others.

I am not a horse either. fart People who will get dizzy after being photographed, let alone local officials and generals who will be so happy when they send some tributes, gold, silver, and beautiful women.

For the generals who are outside, I only look at whether he leads the troops with strict military discipline and treats the people.

Autumn commits no crime, only looks The combat effectiveness of his army depends only on whether he has a good record of success.

As for foreign civil servants, I only look at whether they have good political achievements and whether they are corrupt and perverting the law.

Other frivolous things are not in my hands.

It’s all useless here” "This can be regarded as my admonition to you before you set off.

I can see that you are a talented person.

You must seize the opportunity, position yourself, and adjust your mentality in time.

Do you understand?"

Li Baozhen clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "The king has worked hard, but the humble minister understands":
