Zhao Ziliang knew that he would not be able to stay in Xinjing again during the New Year, so he took advantage of the preparations for the expedition to spend a few days with his concubines, princes and princesses.
After leaving Xinjing, he met Yang Yuhuan on the roadside to deliver a message.
In order to avoid suspicion, she went directly to the palace and could only wait outside Xinjing City.
Zhao Ziliang reined in his horse and stopped, and then the Long Guards left first.
Several personal guards rode at a distance to prevent outsiders from approaching.
Jumping off the horse, Zhao Ziliang walked towards Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Yuhuan, who was already fifty years old, was well maintained.
She looked only in her thirties.
Her age was almost invisible.
She still looked the same as before, wearing a snow-white dress.
He wears a Taoist robe, a crown on his head, a whisk in his hand, and his plump breasts make the Taoist robe bulge.
Yang Yuhuan came up to look at Zhao Ziliang's horse and asked, "Why did you change the horse?"
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Although Wu Zima is a peerless horse, it is also old.
It has retired a long time ago and probably has only a few more years to live.
This horse is his grandson, called Huofeng, and its speed and endurance are comparable."
Wu Zima is even better."
"What a good horse."
Yang Yuhuan touched Huofeng's head and put his face close to it.
Zhao Ziliang said: "It's cold today, you shouldn't come out.
I'll be back in a few months."
Yang Yuhuan said: "I have been staying in the Taoist temple for a long time.
I haven't gone out for a walk for so long.
Now I almost don't know the way.
Xinjing has changed so much.
It looks different every day.
This is what is called The world is in great order, the world is at peace, the country is strong and the people are prosperous, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe.
It is not easy for you to achieve this step.
Since ancient times, few emperors have been able to achieve this step.
You succeeded."
Zhao Ziliang looked at the scene in front of him, exhaled a white breath and said: "It can barely be regarded as a peaceful and prosperous age, but running a country is also like sailing against the current.
If you don't advance, you will retreat.
No matter how prosperous and powerful the entire country is, you can't slack off at all.
Behind the strength and prosperity there are still crises.
I am just a person, not a god.
Even gods cannot solve all the sufferings in the world.
The difference between me and other kings is that they like to enjoy themselves after they become successful and like to lie in the past.
They are complacent and complacent about their achievements.
They are eager to enjoy being served, enjoying food, enjoying comfort and beauty, and enjoying all the comfort and convenience brought by power.
Although I am also enjoying it, my enjoyment lies in creating this powerful The process of the country, rather than material and sensory enjoyment.
When the country is strong, the people are rich, and the people are confident, I feel satisfied when I see these.
This is a spiritual enjoyment.
Even if I eat glutinous rice every day, I will feel satisfied. willing" Yang Yuhuan walked in and reached out to touch Zhao Ziliang's cheek, "You are so different.
You seem to be incompatible with this dynasty, but the world needs kings like you.
The country becomes strong because of you, and the people become strong because of you."
Become rich and confident and no longer suffer the consequences of war People of our generation know how much trauma war has caused to the country.

You have created a strong country and a new era, allowing hundreds of ethnic groups to unite in this country and love each other.
Like family, you are an amazing man.”
Zhao Ziliang smiled and sighed: "I won't be able to work for a few more years.
When I reach the age of sixty, I will abdicate and make way for others.
This world is the world of young people after all.
It is better to let young people grow up and gain experience early."
"If you really want to abdicate, are you willing to delegate power?"
"You have to let it go even if you don't want to.
Power must be balanced and balanced, and the political situation must remain stable so that this country will not be in chaos.
Even if I abdicate, I can still take care of things if I think I need to intervene, but the rules must be set.
Without rules, there would be no circle.”
Zhao Ziliang stopped the topic and held Yang Yuhuan's cold hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about it.
I think this war will not last long.
I wanted to take you to see the world-famous Jerusalem, where is The intersection of many civilizations accommodates many exotic customs at the same time, but now it is In the winter, I'm afraid your body won't be able to eat it.
In the summer, it's too hot, and the distance is too far.
Persia and other places are not very peaceful.
When I take Canaan and Syria, I plan to build a castle there as a villa. , when I get old, I will go there to take care of myself every once in a while, and then I will take you all over."
Yang Yuhuan smiled and said: "That's good."
The two looked at each other, and Zhao Ziliang said calmly: "I'm leaving."
Yang Yuhuan said: "It must be good."
Zhao Ziliang turned around, threw off his cloak and got on the horse, then turned to look at Yang Yuhuan, shook the reins, and shouted: "Drive" Zhao Ziliang disappeared for a long time before Yang Yuhuan reluctantly turned around and walked onto the carriage on the roadside.
On November 22, Zhao Ziliang and the five hundred accompanying Longwei troops arrived at Jiling City and rested in Jiling City that year.
The next day, Zhao Ziliang and Zhao Lei, father and son, met in Jiling City.
Zhao Lei rushed back without stopping after receiving the order, and the speed was still very fast.
"The child pays homage to his father."
Zhao Lei paid homage to Zhao Ziliang after seeing him in the official office of Jiling City.
Zhao Ziliang said: "Get up, when did you set off after receiving the order?"
Zhao Lei said: "I received the edict on the 13th, and I set off on the 14th."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, "What's the situation over there?"
Zhao Lei said: "The remnants of the Abbasid dynasty are busy suppressing resistance in various places and have no time to look eastward.
Moreover, the white-robed empire of the Umayyad dynasty in Iberia is also about to move.
The white-robed empire and the black-robed empire are inherently incompatible.
Now Black Dashi is in despair and retreats like a bereaved dog. to North Africa, which is also a very big threat to the remnants of the Umayyad dynasty.
It is said that the Emir Abdulrahman on the Iberian Peninsula is sharpening his sword and preparing to cross the sea to attack the Mahdi, but I Thinking that he may not have enough strength and energy to deal with Mahdi" "Oh" Zhao Ziliang smiled and asked: "Why do you say that?"
Zhao Lei said: "It is said that King Charman of the Frankish Kingdom is attacking everywhere to expand his territory.
A few years ago, he captured the Lombard Kingdom in the northern part of the Papal State and the large areas of the northern Saxons.
Now he is eyeing the Iberian Peninsula. , King Charlemagne and Emir Rahman are both strong men, and there will definitely be a good show between two strong men."
"Which one of them do you think will win?"
Zhao Lei said: "It's hard to say.
After all, the cannibals have ruled the Iberian Peninsula for nearly a hundred years.
The cannibals have long taken root there.
Many local people are believers in Allah.
Rahman has ruled the Iberian Peninsula for twenty years.
Over the years, his rule has been stable.
Although he is unable to conquer the north, it will not be easy for Charlemagne to bite off a piece of flesh from him, and his teeth may even break."

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin, nodded, affirmed Zhao Lei's analysis, and asked: "How is the deployment of the troops preparing for the expedition?"
Zhao Lei said: "I don't know about this.
I have already issued the military order and set off the next day.
I think all the ministries will arrive in Baghdad to assemble soon after receiving the military order.
Father, don't worry."
Zhao Ziliang changed the subject, "When you return to Xinjing this time, your main responsibility is to supervise the country.
Do you know what supervising the country is?"
Zhao Lei was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he asked: "Father, please give me a clear explanation."
Zhao Ziliang said: "You are not young anymore, and you have to learn to handle state affairs.
I am old.
I will abdicate when I reach my age in a few years.
Sooner or later, you will have to sit on this throne.
This time I will transfer you."
The purpose of returning to Xinjing is to let you learn how to deal with the country by yourself.
Regarding matters, you need to supervise whether the various ministries in the royal court are operating normally.
You also need to review the memorials sent to the palace by the ministries and the local governors.
If you are unable to make a decision, you can temporarily stay in office.
Send someone to me to write a memorial There are some templates for review in the palace that I have reviewed.
You can proceed according to the format.
Some memorials need to be clearly reviewed and the meaning cannot be vague.
However, some memorials cannot be stated clearly and should be understood by the people below.
I I can only give you a general method, but you still need to figure it out for yourself in detail.
Dealing with military and political affairs is not an easy task.
You must know that a wrong decision on your part may cause heavy losses, so you must be cautious.
Don’t be careless or disrespectful.”
Zhao Lei said with a somewhat bitter face: "Father, after hearing what you said, I already feel a heavy burden on my body before I have officially handled the state affairs, and my heart is heavy.
Just like you said, this may be true."
Not an easy job” Zhao Ziliang was a little unhappy, "I'm afraid you will be a grandfather in a few years.
Why haven't you grown up enough to let you sit in this position?
You must have the courage to take responsibility and be mentally prepared to face all difficulties.
Of course, if you don't If you are willing to inherit the throne, your father will not force you.
Although the law clearly stipulates that you are the first heir, it is okay if you voluntarily give up the throne.
It is just that your father wants you to The harmony between brothers cannot be damaged by fighting for this throne.
Power has been the most tempting thing since ancient times.
It is common for fathers, sons, and brothers to turn against each other and kill each other.
The reason why my father wants to legislate the inheritance method of the throne. , that is, we must try our best to avoid the struggle for the throne that will greatly weaken the country.
Only unity can we calmly face all difficulties.
This country is As a whole, you are all attached to this country.
You are the eldest brother, so you must behave like an eldest brother.
Your brother Zhao Ting is actually not inferior to you in talent.
He is the eldest brother.
His strengths are in the military.
He is a very good military commander, but he is lacking in politics.
Over the years, my father has been trying to find ways for him to do more government affairs.
Although he has done a good job Although it is good, but it is a bit lacking in the ability of overall planning and coordination.

This cannot be achieved through hard work.
It requires talent.
As the supreme ruler of a kingdom, the most important thing is not the ability to march and fight, but the ability to march and fight.
The overall strategic vision and the ability to coordinate the overall situation must be able to properly handle the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.
You have done a good job in this regard."
Zhao Lei received Zhao Ziliang's affirmation, and he clasped his fists happily and said: "Thank you father for your affirmation":
