The great disarmament is proceeding in full swing and with great momentum.
In order to make this great disarmament proceed smoothly and end perfectly, Zhao Ziliang and the court ministers thought of many ways to arrange these dismissed soldiers, officers and generals, and strive to achieve a perfect ending. , and the relevant yamen of the imperial court and local governments also did a lot of publicity.
Before the Anshi Rebellion began, the population of the Tang Dynasty was close to 50 million.
During the Anshi Rebellion, many people fled to the Western Qin to escape war and famine.
The number of people who went to the Western Qin was approximately 18 million.
Now the Tang Dynasty The population of China is still 22 million.
In other words, during the Anshi Rebellion, the number of people who died due to war, famine, and disasters was close to 10 million.
This number of deaths is too horrific, which resulted in bones everywhere. phenomenon.
If the disarmament is successful, 700,000 men will join the production labor.
This will undoubtedly be a new force that is extremely beneficial to the production and construction of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Their return to society can improve the serious shortage of production labor force.
Therefore, Zhao Ziliang, Manchu officials, and officials from various local governments were all looking forward to and concerned about this disarmament.
News of the progress of disarmament in various places came to Chang'an from time to time.
Zhao Ziliang heard courtiers reporting to him the latest progress of disarmament in various places every day.
On the morning of the third day of November, Zhao Ziliang had just sent away the Taiwei Guo Ziyi.
Du Fu came over with a serious look and said, "Your Majesty, Huangfu Xian, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, sent a message via a flying pigeon.
The secretary and supervisor Gao Shi died of illness half a month ago. , head of the Government Affairs Council Prime Minister Cen Shen is also seriously ill and is no longer able to govern.
Some people in the royal court are starting to get excited.
Now the deputy prime minister Dugu Wensu is acting as deputy prime minister.
An urgent report from Beijing may be sent to eight people within the next ten days and a half.
Delivered quickly from a hundred miles away and” Zhao Ziliang's eyes narrowed and he said, "Say" "Yes."
Du Fu bowed his hand, "And the news came from Wang Can, the governor of the East Factory, that the Dashi Kingdom had put down the civil strife and launched a large-scale attack on the Eastern Roman Empire.
The attack was rapid and progressed smoothly.
The Eastern Roman Empire was retreating steadily.
The land of the Great Food Kingdom was lost and it was beaten back to Anatolia.
On the one hand, the Caliph of the Great Food Country ordered the generals in the front to attack the Eastern Roman Empire.
On the one hand, they sent missionaries into our country to spread the doctrine, carry out infiltration, and use the missionary machine to map the terrain of our country’s mountains, rivers, and transportation thoroughfares.
The Protectorate of Western Taipei has seized several companies that were actually exploring in the name of missionary work.
The missionaries of our country’s topography and transportation hub and the Kurkure of the Boslavan sect that we supported fled into Khwarizm again after being defeated.”
Zhao Ziliang was moved and asked: "Where is Salad from the Sinbad faction?
This guy is much stronger than Kurkure.
I remember that his army occupied the entire Syria the year before last, and the Eastern Roman Empire was beside him.
To contain the Great Food Country, he shouldn’t be destroyed so quickly.”
Du Fu nodded: "Salaad was captured after his defeat and then sent to Baghdad.
Mansour quickly sent him to the guillotine.
The king is right.
With Salad's strength, he should not be destroyed so quickly.
Well, Mansur is worthy of being a king with outstanding political talents.
He sent people to contact the Western Church and reached an agreement.
He allowed the Western Church to preach in the Kingdom of Great Food, and the Church helped him incite the barbarians in Thrace.
Rebellion.
The king should know that Constantine V took a stand against the church's worship of icons.
He also ordered the destruction of a large number of icons in the Eastern Roman Empire and the arrest and massacre of a large number of church priests.
This move was criticized by the church.
The hatred of the people was not popular, so the church decisively reached an agreement with Mansur.

The barbarians in Thrace were quickly incited by the church.
A fire broke out in the backyard of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Constantine V The world had to deploy a large number of troops from the front line to the Thracian region to quell the chaos.
Therefore, the containment of the Great Food Country was weakened, and self-protection was not enough.
How could the Eastern Roman Empire have the extra troops to cause trouble for the Great Food Country?
Sur took advantage of the opportunity when the Eastern Roman Empire sent troops back to suppress the rebellion, and concentrated a large number of troops to defeat Salad in one fell swoop.
After Salad's power was eradicated, Mansur quickly moved east to attack Boslavan.
Pai, Kurkure and Salad are the same.
These two guys are self-willed and just like an adou who cannot be helped.
If they had listened to the advice of the people we sent, they would not have failed so quickly and miserably.
Now, Dashi The country's eastern border cavalry often sneaks into Khwarizm territory to attack Kurkure's troops.
Although the Khwarizm Khan has strengthened border patrols, the border is too long and it is really difficult to prevent it."
"Sure enough, something depends on people, and it depends on God."
Zhao Ziliang sighed, "It seems that I must go back to Western Qin."
Since the expedition to Tubo, Zhao Ziliang has not returned to Western Qin for more than three years.
Although he has been controlling the affairs of Western Qin, making the affairs of Western Qin have been stable in the past two years, Chang'an and Xinjing are still there after all.
Too far apart, if it is in the electrification era of later generations , no matter how far away it is, it is not a problem.
He can always be in a remote place to control the direction of the government.
But in this era where transportation is basically based on walking, this distance can make any wise and wise king helpless.
Only then did Zhao Ziliang understand that the empire The trouble is that the territory is too big.
At this time, Xuan Jiu came in from outside and said with fists in his hands: "Your Majesty, the emperor sent someone to say that he wants to see your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang was a little puzzled.
In the past year, the emperor rarely sent people to attack him if he had nothing to do.
What was the matter this time?
He came to the inner palace of Daming Palace with questions.
"I pay my respects to the king" Li Yu quickly smiled and stepped forward to stop Zhao Ziliang from bowing down, and said, "Uncle, no courtesy, you're welcome.
Let's sit down and talk."
After both parties sat down, Li Yu said: "I know that my uncle is busy with state affairs, so I will keep the story short.
There are two things, one I want to discuss with my uncle, and the other I want to ask my uncle for help.
That's it, my uncle should know When I was not the emperor, I had a concubine named Shen.
She was Shi'er's biological mother and my first woman.
She was a rare virtuous and beautiful woman.
She was my favorite in my life.
If I hadn't been emperor I would never have let her stay in Luoyang despite my grandfather's obstruction.
I had brought her back a long time ago, and she would not have been kidnapped by the rebels again and her whereabouts were unknown.
To be honest with my uncle, although I have had the Dugu family and others around me these years.
Other concubines , but Shen has always had the most important position in my heart.
Over the past few days, I have missed her more and more.
I want to ask my uncle to order help in finding Shen and let her return to me.
I want to canonize her as Rui.
True Queen" After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and asked: "Your Majesty, from the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion to the present, a total of 18 million people from the Central Plains have moved to the Western Qin Dynasty, and nearly 10 million people have died from wars, natural disasters, and hunger during this period.
He Yanhan, finding Shen is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The hope is extremely slim.
I can send people to search for it.
But has Your Majesty ever considered how Concubine Dugu feels?

There are so many concubines in the palace who are not as good as Concubine Dugu of the Shen family.
However, Concubine Dugu has been by His Majesty's side from beginning to end, sharing wealth and adversity, and His Majesty has still not canonized her as Queen.
Also, if Ms.
Shen is found but she has remarried, what will the people sent do?"
"I am indeed ashamed of the Dugu clan."
Li Yu said with a hint of shame on his face, and slowly lowered his head, but he quickly raised his head again and said: "I can canonize the Dugu clan as Queen Zhenyi, but I still ask my uncle to send someone.
Search for Shen's whereabouts, find her, and bring her to me.
If she is already married and she wants to come, bring her.
If she doesn't want to, forget it and tell her about Shi'er, okay?
" Zhao Ziliang sighed secretly, cupped his hands and said: "I obey the order.
After I return, I will issue an edict to appoint a special person to find out the whereabouts of the Shen family.
There is one more thing, Your Majesty, please tell me."
Li Yu sighed: "Shi'er has been dead for more than a year, and I feel that my health is getting worse and worse.
I am afraid that I will die soon.
During this time, I have been considering the candidate for the prince.
The main reason for calling my uncle today is for this matter."
I want to hear what my uncle thinks about this matter."
Zhao Ziliang did not expect that Li Yu's main purpose of calling him was to establish the crown prince.
Now the power of the royal family has been suppressed to the weakest state in history.
In fact, for Li Yu, it no longer matters whether he establishes the crown prince or not.
He, the emperor, has no Any rights, let alone the rights of the prince.
Zhao Ziliang remembered that the political situation in Western Qin was showing signs of instability, and that the Dashi Kingdom was provoking again.
It would be impossible for him not to return to Xinjing.
He had to make arrangements here before leaving.
He was not afraid of Li Yu, he was worried It was Li Yu who became blind again If he messes up again, his efforts over the past few years will be ruined.
The Tang Dynasty has finally put down the civil strife and eliminated the vassal towns.
This is the time to vigorously rebuild and develop the economy.
If he messes up again, then this dynasty will really It's hopeless.
To be honest, Li Yu is a person who values love and justice, but he has no courage, acts indecisively, is easily deceived by slanderous ministers, does not have the qualities of an emperor, and his personality is not suitable for being an emperor.
If he were wiser No matter how stupid he is, Zhao Ziliang will feel more at ease, because if he is wiser, he will not be easily influenced by ministers, but if he is stupider, he is a natural puppet, so Zhao Ziliang can leave with peace of mind.
Zhao Ziliang really didn't dare to give power back to an emperor like Li Yu who was neither wise nor stupid, but who was unwilling to lose power and always thought about it but was not yet capable.
"The matter of establishing a prince is of great importance and involves all aspects.
Not only must the prince's moral character, intelligence, ability, and temperament be examined, but also the impact of the prince's selection on the court situation, whether the courtiers and the people of the world support him, etc.
These are all very critical, and I need to discuss them with the ministers
