Chapter 1091: Contradiction (1)


The matter between Yang Wan and Chang Gun was just a small episode.

The reason why Zhao Ziliang gave them a chance was, on the one hand, because they did not participate in the conspiracy of Pei Mian and others, and on the other hand, these two people were usually decent officials and had nothing to do with it.

Misdeeds.

Furthermore, these two people are indeed talented.

In history, both of them have served as prime ministers.

Although it is said that talented people are the most lacking thing in the world, there are not many people who have both ability and political integrity.

On the tenth day of November, just two days after Yang Wan and Chang Gun left to take office, Li Mi came to report: "Sir, Zhang Yi from Weizhou sent someone to report that he had reached an agreement with Li Changchun and Xu Shize.

Appointed on November 16th Li Changchun and Xu Shize have been trying their best to block the news of Tian Yue's death, and have been issuing orders to Huo Guorong, Xing Caojun, Meng Xiyou and other Wei Bo generals as Tian Yue to maintain Wei Bo's situation."

Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "Why didn't Zhang Yi directly send someone to inform Zang Xiyan?

Didn't the king already give the order?"

Li Bi said: "The situation in Hebei and Henan is complicated after all.

It is normal for Zhang Yi to be cautious.

Moreover, it is said that Zhang Yi and Zang Xiyan had some conflicts in the past."

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said immediately: "In that case, quickly send Babaili to inform Zang Xiyan and tell him the time of Zhang Yi's handover with Li Changchun and Xu Shize.

Let him handle the rest by himself. " Li Mi cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

After receiving the news, Zang Xiyan, who was in Bianzhou, immediately began to arrange people to spread rumors everywhere.

In just two or three days, the news was received in the Weibo military camps on the north bank of the Yellow River.

This made everyone in the Weibo army uneasy.

Rumors spread, and people began to feel uneasy.

Rumors were just rumors after all.

When the news was not confirmed, Huo Guorong, Xing Caojun, Meng Xiyou and others had to try their best to stabilize the morale of the army while sending people to Weizhou to investigate the situation.

Within a few days, the people sent came back and confirmed the authenticity of the rumors.

Although the news was blocked by Huo Guorong and others, it quickly spread throughout the military camp.

Now the people of Wei Bojun were panicked, and many people began to deal with it.

Soft and ready to escape at any moment.

On November 20, the spies reported the situation in Wei Bo's army to Zang Xiyan.

On the 22nd, Zang Xiyan led his army to cross the river at multiple locations to attack Wei Bo's army on the other side of the river.

With Wei Bo's army leaderless, Huo Guorong and Xing Cao Jun and others could not control the chaotic morale of the army.

Wei Bo's army collapsed before the battle began.

The imperial army pursued the victory, and Huo Guorong, Xing Caojun and others were defeated and killed one after another.

Meng Xiyou was killed by his subordinates while escaping, and his head was cut off by his subordinates to receive the reward from the imperial army.

On November 29, Zang Xiyan led his army to Bozhou and joined Zhang Yi's Yongping army.

In view of the conflict between Zhang Yi and Zang Xiyan, Zhao Ziliang was worried that the conflict between the two would affect the suppression of the rebellion in the city.

He appointed Gao Shang as the special envoy and ordered him to rush to Bozhou to coordinate the various troops and urge the troops to cooperate with each other to attack Rebels.

Originally, according to Zhao Ziliang's order to reduce the vassal, the Yongping Army, the Heyang Army, the Chen Xu Jiedushi and the Huainan Jiedushi were all supposed to hand over military and political power.

However, Zhao Ziliang saw that the areas under the jurisdiction of these Jiedushi were all in the vicinity of the vassal towns.

Moreover, Zhang Yi and Li Yuanchun , Qu Huan, Wei Yuanfu and others were quite respectful to the imperial court and paid a lot of taxes and tributes to the imperial court every year.

Therefore, Zhao Ziliang temporarily allowed them to stay in their positions as Jiedushi until the rebellion was put down before handing over military and political power. , and then return to the court.

Now that the imperial army has successively captured Chanzhou, Xiangzhou, Weizhou, Mingzhou and Bozhou, the military envoys such as Yongping Army, Heyang Army and Chen Xujun are not so important.

Li Yuanchun, the military governor of Heyang, has been in Beijing for half a year and has not been assigned a position until now.

If the Yongping army military commander Zhang Yi and Chen Xu military commander Qu Huan are to be transferred away, Li Yuanchun must be arranged first.

However, Li Yuanchun's original position was Heyang Jiedushi.

If he was to be arranged, he would have to be appointed at least at the same level.

After much deliberation, Zhao Ziliang issued an edict to promote Li Qijun, the left minister of the Ministry of Works, to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Works, and appointed Li Yuanchun as the left minister of the Ministry of Works.

The most annoying thing for Zhao Ziliang was that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty liked to appoint a series of official positions to ministers.

There was only one official position with real power, and the others were all empty-headed, good-sounding but useless.

Some ministers held multiple positions in one person. and It is still the real power yamen.

In addition to having real official positions, some ministers also have official titles such as Yushi Zhongcheng, Inspector of the Ministry of Industry, or Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

This means that they have the status of Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Minister of Criminal Affairs, but do not care about specific affairs. .

This seems to Zhao Ziliang to be flashy.

If you want to improve the status of an official, there is no need to grant a false position at all, and directly upgrade the title.

On weekdays, the status is judged by the title, and when it is official, the official position is judged.

This is the case.

Naturally, Zhang Shouyu, Gao Xiuyan, Zang Xiyan, Li Sheng, and Xue Qianxun will lead the troops in the battle on the front line.

Zhao Ziliang cannot interfere casually in Chang'an, as this will only make things more difficult.

Zhao Ziliang now focuses most of his energy on government affairs, especially personnel matters.

The first is court personnel, and the second is local government personnel.

A large number of officials were dismissed one after another due to the rectification of the civil service, the reduction of vassals, and the smashing of the conspiracy of Pei Mian and others.

Especially since there was no prime minister in the court, there were many vacancies in the court offices and local government offices.

Fortunately, the court held successive meetings.

After the two reforms, a large number of Jinshi entered the officialdom.

There was no shortage of officials, but there were not many talented and moral people.

After careful consideration, Zhao Ziliang appointed Yan Zhenqing, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Li Xian, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Li Kui, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, as prime ministers.

They were the Minister of Zhongshu, the Minister of Menxia, ​​and the Minister Zuopushe respectively to form the cabinet and be directly responsible to him.

A cabinet of three people is too small, but now Zhao Ziliang doesn't want to increase the number of cabinet members.

Too many people will make things difficult.

He decided to wait until rebellions in various places are suppressed before replenishing the cabinet.

Zhao Ziliang still underestimated the impact that the frontline armies were not under each other's command and control, and also overestimated the coordination abilities of Zang Xiyan and Gao Shang.

After arriving in Bozhou, the Yongping Army and the Huainan Army had friction due to the issue of rewards, which eventually led to There was a large-scale fight and dozens of people were killed and injured.

The impact of this large-scale armed struggle was so great that it directly caused the mutual antagonism between the Yongping Army's military governor Zhang Yi and the Huainan military commander Wei Yuanfu.

After the armed struggle occurred, Gao Shang, as the regent's special envoy, immediately sent people to investigate and understand the situation. , but Zhang Yi and Wei Yuanfu refused to give in to each other, because both sides suffered many casualties.

They both believed that they had suffered a loss, and were unconvinced and wanted to The site was recovered, so before Gao Shang sent people to investigate, Zhang Yi sent a large number of troops to recover the site.

After all, Wei Bo was taken over by his Yongping Army first.

He and the generals of the Yongping Army thought that Wei Bo He is the master, and all other armies are guests.

Now the Huainan army is bullying the master as a guest.

It is so hateful that Zhang Yi and the Yongping army cannot swallow this breath.

When Wei Yuanfu, the military governor of Huainan, learned that Zhang Yi was leading a large number of troops to kill him outside the military camp, he immediately became furious and bullied them all to the door.

Wei Yuanfu immediately ordered the entire Huainan army to assemble and prepare to fight.

Both sides were at war with each other.

War is possible.

Gao Shang was shocked when he got the news, "Hurry up, inform Marshal Zang immediately and send troops to stop it.

If you are late, the consequences will be disastrous."

The attendant clasped his fists and said, "Sir, Marshal Zang has personally led the Shence Army to rush over.

He sent someone to report the news.

He just asked your lord to rush over as soon as possible."

"Get your horses ready!"

Gao Shang shouted and walked out.

The attendant next to him took out a cloak and put it on him.

Gao Shang rode a fast horse and quickly arrived at the Huainan military camp under the protection of dozens of attendants.

At this time, the confrontation between the two armies inside and outside the camp was likely to break out at any time.

Zang Xiyan led the Shence Army to the sides of the two armies, and the three armies formed A character shape.

Zang Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gao Shang coming towards him on horseback.

He immediately rode up to meet him and clasped his fists, saying: "Master Gao, you are here.

If you don't come again, I really can't hold you back."

Gao Shang's face was very ugly, and he reluctantly returned the gift: "Commander Zang, since you have brought people here, why do you let them continue to confront each other?"

Zang Xiyan said: "I can ask Wei Yuanfu to disperse the troops, but Zhang Yi won't do it.

He is not under my control.

I can't command him.

Besides, Wei Yuanfu is right.

If he disperses the troops, everything will be lost."

Zhang Yi went crazy and ordered to rush in regardless of everything.

Wouldn't the Huainan Army be miserable?"

Zang Xiyan has a certain truth to what he said.

Although he is the marshal of the counter-rebellion, Zhang Yi is not under his jurisdiction.

Zhao Ziliang also knew that Zhang Yi and Zang Xiyan had conflicts in the past.

Based on the principle of doing more, it is better to do less, so The Yongping Army was not returned to the Marshal's Mansion for control.

Now it seems that even this did not avoid the trouble caused by inconsistent orders.

Since the Yongping Army was not under the control of the Marshal's Mansion, and Zhang Yi had conflicts with Zang Xiyan, of course he would not buy Zang Xiyan's favor.

Gao Shang looked ugly and said to Zang Xiyan: "Commander Zang, Wei Yuanfu is under your control.

Go tell him and ask him to come over.

I have something to say to him."

Zang Xiyan agreed: "Okay" and immediately sent someone to the military camp to summon Wei Yuanfu.

Gao Shang then sent his personal guards to the nearby Yongping Army formation and ordered one of his soldiers: "Go to the Yongping Army and tell Zhang Yi what I said.

Let him come and tell him.

The officer is the regent's special envoy and represents the king with full authority.

If he does not come, it will be tantamount to openly disobeying the king's order, and he will bear all the consequences."

"yes" Soon, Wei Yuanfu and Zhang Yi came over with some soldiers.

Zhang Yi and Zang Xiyan did not deal with each other, but gave up to Gao Shang: "Master Gao" Gao Shang nodded.

Wei Yuanfu came over with some soldiers and handed Gao Shang and Zang Xiyan respectively: "Master Gao, Marshal" Gao Shang's face was stern, and his tone was also very cold: "You two, why do you want to make such a fuss?

What do you want to do?

Can you be more courageous?"
