Xuan Shiba hurriedly came over and clasped his fists at Zhao Ziliang and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from Guandong.
Guo Ziyi took over the Marshal's Mansion after arriving in Luoyang.
However, the Marshal's Mansion has become empty.
The main officials brought by the prince all followed him after he was injured.
After returning to Chang'an, there were no effective officials in the Marshal's Mansion.
Guo Ziyi wrote a letter asking the king to send some officials to enrich the Marshal's Mansion. , General Li Sheng had already led his troops to Xingyang, and fought a battle with Li Lingyao.
Li Lingyao was defeated, losing 18,000 troops, and retreated to Zhongmou to defend.
General Li Sheng, because most of his men were cavalry, Unable to carry out siege operations, they could only return to Xingyang to rest and recuperate; Guo Ziyi wrote a letter requesting the king to put Li Sheng's troops under the command of the Marshal's Mansion, and allow the Marshal's Mansion to recruit troops on its own to quell the rebellion."
Zhao Ziliang took the towel handed by the guard and wiped his sweat, sat on the chair next to him, and said to Xuan Shiba: "Reply to Guo Ziyi, the imperial court has sent some officials to Luoyang.
They are already on the way and will arrive soon.
In addition, Li Sheng's Ministry does not belong to the imperial army establishment.
In order to avoid friction, the jurisdiction of Li Sheng's Ministry cannot be placed under the jurisdiction of the Marshal's Office.
Li Sheng's Ministry only obeys the command of the Regent's Office."
"The imperial military system is undergoing reform.
From now on, generals will no longer be allowed to recruit soldiers on their own.
The recruitment of soldiers will be unified and drilled by the Ministry of War.
Once the trained recruits meet the requirements, they will be assigned to each army to supplement the shortage of troops in each army.
Therefore, The Marshal's Office is not allowed to recruit soldiers on its own."
“For armies that are deployed abroad, the imperial court will allocate military expenditures, and the deployed troops will send personnel to purchase grain, grass and other military supplies from the private sector on their own.
The purchase price is based on market parity and has priority.
Private merchants must cooperate and must not shirk, or the local government Responsible for assisting in the preparations, the required expenses will be paid from military expenditures.
The Imperial Ministry of War is only responsible for supplying weapons, armor, bows and arrows, military uniforms, quilts, and shoes and socks."
"In recent months, the imperial army is undergoing training, and the Ministry of War is recruiting new soldiers from all over the country.
Therefore, there are no reinforcements in Luoyang for the time being, so we can only defend on the spot.
If we want to attack the rebels, we can only attack from Huainan. and Huaixi to attack in the direction of Bian and Song Dynasties.
When the training of the imperial armies is completed, the imperial court will immediately send troops for reinforcements."
These regulations of Zhao Ziliang can be said to have added a number of restrictions to military generals, so that they can no longer recruit troops privately, nor can they levy military expenses privately from the private sector or local governments.
Military salaries, military expenses, armament logistics, and soldiers are all uniformly provided by the imperial court.
At the same time, they have the power to There are mutual checks and balances, and the supervisory army monitors military discipline.
This is equivalent to grabbing the throat of the military generals and squeezing you to death if you don't obey.
There was a clerk next to him who quickly wrote down what Zhao Ziliang said.
Xuan Shiba nodded and asked, "What else does your Majesty have to say?"
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, then thought of Li Yuanchun, and immediately said: "Issue an edict to Li Yuanchun.
I want to know the details of the ambush encountered by the Heyang Army, and let Li Yuanchun return to Beijing to report on his duties.
Liu Qia, the general of the Yongping Army, commanded Ruo during the guarding of the state.
He was determined to withstand Tian Yue's powerful offensive with his weak troops.
He was quite talented and was transferred to Mengzhou Defense Envoy to serve in the Marshal's Mansion.
The Heyang Army was temporarily led by Liu Qian."
There are only more than 5,000 Heyang troops left, and their organization is very incomplete.
Zhao Ziliang's purpose of doing this is very clear, which is to abolish the position of Jiedushi in Heyang.
It was quite beneficial, but it also brought endless disasters.
After all, not all Jiedu envoys were loyal to the court.
What Zhao Ziliang did now was also to wipe their butts.
"clear" Gao Shang hurried over and handed over his hands: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Zhao Ziliang knew that it would be inconvenient if Gao Shang didn't say it on the spot, so he nodded to Xuan Shiba and said, "That's it, you can do it and everyone else can get busy."

Everyone dispersed, Zhao Ziliang walked along the martial arts field with his hands behind his back, Gao Shang followed and said: "Just now news came from the palace that Pei Mian went to see the emperor secretly."
"Oh, what did he say?"
Zhao Ziliang was not surprised that someone would slander him in front of the emperor.
This was not the first time this happened.
"Pei Mian told the emperor that the king deliberately asked the prince to go to Guandong to lead troops to quell the rebellion.
The purpose was to attack the prince's power.
The prince was not familiar with military affairs, and he was young and energetic.
The possibility of victory was very small.
If the prince was defeated, the king There is reason to take action against the prince.
If the prince encounters misfortune during the war, this will play into the king's plan."
After hearing these words, Zhao Ziliang's expression was very calm, "What is the emperor's reaction?"
Gao Shang said: "According to the insider's judgment and analysis, although the emperor did not believe Pei Mian's words, the emperor's heart was confused, and his trust in the king began to waver.
If the insider's judgment and analysis are correct, Wei Chen is worried that something will happen."
Zhao Ziliang stopped and stood silent for a while, then turned to Gao Shang and said: "What is supposed to come will eventually come.
You can't even hide.
Send someone to tell the king that his rare son, Wang Ziyan, has come to see me."
Gao Shang gave his hand: "Yes" "Wait a minute."
Zhao Ziliang stopped Gao Shang, and after thinking for a while he said, "Forget it, Wang rarely served as my deputy back then, and fought under me again during the Anshi Rebellion.
Counting my relationship with the court ministers in the court, except for Zang Xiyan Apart from that, he has the most harmonious relationship with me.
I would like to go and see his descendants in person."
Wang Rao died of illness in the second year of Baoying.
During his lifetime, he was awarded the title of Duke of Langye County and served as a heroic military envoy.
After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Governor of Luzhou.
His son Wang Ziyan failed to inherit the title.
Wang Ziyan followed his father in the army since he was a child.
He was highly skilled in martial arts, experienced in leading troops, and had outstanding military exploits.
However, Wang rarely rewarded him.
After Wang Nan's death, Wang Ziyan only got a temporary job as a school inspector.
He had nothing to do after doing the math in the Yamen every day.
He had been idle at home for several years.
Neither father nor son were good at running a family business.
When Wang was alive, he was very considerate of his soldiers and often used his own salary to subsidize the soldiers.
Therefore, his family's life was not comfortable.
Zhao Ziliang, Gao Shang and others brought some guards to Wang Ziyan's house.
This was just a small courtyard.
The courtyard was very clean, but the utensils were extremely old.
It was probably that no new things had been added for a long time.
Zhao Ziliang dismounted and walked to the door of the small courtyard when he heard the shouts of people practicing martial arts coming from the courtyard.
He hurriedly stopped Gao Shang from knocking on the door and walked to the side of the courtyard wall to watch through the small hole in the wall.
I saw a strong man in his thirties in the small courtyard holding an iron gun and showing off with great force.
With the iron gun in his hand, the moves he performed were powerful and full of energy.
After watching for a while, the strong man finished practicing and put away his gun.
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but praise: "Good marksmanship" The strong man in the courtyard was shocked.
He turned to look at the courtyard wall and shouted: "Who?"
Zhao Ziliang pouted at Gao Shang, and Gao Shang knocked on the door: "The regent is here, but General Wang hasn't come to open the door yet."

It turned out that there was an exclamation: "Ah" and then there was the voice of Wang Ziyan in a panic calling his wife and children to come out to greet Zhao Ziliang and his party.
After a while, the door of the small courtyard opened, and Wang Ziyan appeared at the door.
When he saw Zhao Ziliang, he clasped his fists and bowed in salute: "The king is coming to my humble residence.
I am sorry that I am not far away to greet you."
Zhao Ziliang helped Wang Ziyan up, then called his wife and children to get up, and said with a smile: "I came suddenly and didn't inform you.
How could you be guilty of not inviting me in to sit down?"
"The ministers are all confused and confused.
Your Majesty, please come quickly."
Wang Ziyan said and immediately invited Zhao Ziliang and his party to come in.
In the main room, Zhao Ziliang sat on the main seat.
Wang Ziyan's wife brought a bowl of crude tea.
Wang Ziyan said sheepishly: "The house is simple and simple, and there is no good tea to entertain the king."
Zhao Ziliang took a sip of tea and asked: "Prince Yan, your father had a high military position when he was alive.
He was a general for a long time.
You also made a lot of military achievements.
With your salary and the rewards from the court, your income is not too small.
How can you do this?"
Life is like this” Wang Ziyan was not embarrassed to answer, but his wife said: "Both father and son have the same character.
They don't want to see the hardships of the soldiers under their command, and they often use their salaries and rewards to help the injured soldiers."
"It's no wonder."
Zhao Ziliang suddenly realized, and then asked: "You are a general with rich combat experience.
Why are you working idle at home now?
Isn't it a waste of your ability?"
Wang Ziyan's wife rushed to say: "It's okay if you offend someone.
The father and son have the same virtues and upright temperaments.
They don't see some bad habits in the court.
If they see it, they will speak up and take care of it.
At first, the high officials in the court still looked at it."
My dead father-in-law didn’t care about him because of his face, but after too many times, the officials couldn’t stand it anymore and gave him a false position to let him hang around.”
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Prince Yan, among the military generals of the imperial court, your talents are quite outstanding at your age.
It would be a waste of talents to stay idle at home.
Have you ever thought about leading troops again?"
But Wang Ziyan's wife was a clever woman, and she immediately kicked him.
Wang Ziyan came to his senses and immediately knelt down and said, "I will obey the king's orders at any time."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, "Well, you are no longer in the military position now.
The imperial army is undergoing training, and you haven't participated in it yet.
Let's go to the general camp first to participate in the training.
In particular, you must memorize the new regulations in the army.
Wait for a while , I will appoint you as the Right Guard General."
Wang Ziyan immediately agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang told Gao Shang: "You can arrange this later and say hello to Zhang Bi."
"clear" Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand to embrace Wang Ziyan's son, touched the child's head and said to Wang Ziyan and his wife: "In person, I was in a hurry to leave the Central Plains and recommended your father to take charge of the continued conquest of Tibet.
I didn't expect that this departure would be a farewell." .
The king also heard about what happened later.
People with ambitions and ideas who want to do something will always be interfered by other people in the court, such as conquering the rebels.

The situation has been abandoned many times.
Before I came to the Central Plains this time, the situation in the court had deteriorated to the point where it was almost impossible to end.
This situation must be changed.
The whole court must work together to eliminate interference.
Your father and you both have ideas. , are all people who are unwilling to spend their lives in a mediocre way.
Your father did many things during his lifetime that will only be praised by future generations.
I hope you will do the same."
Wang Ziyan clasped his fists and said: "Only under the control of the king can the whole court be united into one force, otherwise it will be difficult to pacify the world":
