The old guy came back to his senses after hearing these words.
Although His Majesty the Holy King has abdicated, he is still the supreme leader of Western Qin.
Many people seem to have gradually forgotten his authority over the years, even some old ministers.
That seems to be the case too.
Wei Meng was sitting on pins and needles and secretly glanced at Zhao Ziliang, only to see Zhao Ziliang staring at him.
He was frightened by the gaze Zhao Ziliang sent him.
He ignored his ugly appearance and immediately knelt down on the ground to plead guilty: "Your majesty, please calm down, old minister, drink more."
After a few glasses of wine, I lost my manners in front of you.
I know my sin.
I know my sin."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Wei Meng like this and thought for a moment.
He just took this opportunity to hit some people in the court to prevent them from knowing the truth.
He immediately said leisurely: "When people get older, they like to rely on their elders, or they think they have some merit, so they think they are great, and they can be arrogant.
This is true even in front of an orphan, let alone in front of the new king."
All the old ghosts were covered in cold sweat.
They looked at Wei Meng with eyes that could kill someone.
They all wanted to strangle him to death.
They were cursing in their hearts, this old guy who failed to succeed but failed to succeed.
Wei Meng was so frightened that his face turned pale.
He lay on the ground trembling and kowtowed repeatedly to plead guilty: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die.
Please punish me.
I will never complain."
Zhao Ziliang walked down from Danbi with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "When I abdicated the throne, I didn't ask you to step down immediately.
I just wanted you, the old ministers, to stand up for the new king in the court, escort the new king's policies, and safeguard his prestige, but it’s better for you, each of you thinks of yourself as your elders, You are all veterans of the previous dynasty who are trying to act like elders in front of a kid like the new king.
If the new king hadn’t thought of you for your merits in the past, if he hadn’t thought of you as veterans who followed Gu to conquer the world, if it wasn’t for Gu who hadn’t Death, you think you can still live safely until you reach your official career."
Now everyone couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and knelt on the ground to apologize.
While kowtowing to plead guilty, they were all thinking about the killings of the founding kings or successors of the past dynasties in order to maintain their rule and prestige.
All of them suddenly sweated all over their bodies, like sifting chaff.
After a while, Zhao Ziliang returned to the throne and looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said: "Many things in the court are no longer in the hands of Gu.
If you cause trouble, you will beg King Gu at that time."
I can’t save you.
Now that you have retreated to the second line, you can enjoy your old age honestly and have a good death.
Do you understand?
I will punish you not to drink alcohol for a year, otherwise I will punish you for bullying the emperor."
Everyone had to kowtow and say "yes" "Okay, let's talk if you have anything to do.
If nothing happens, go back to your home and find your mother."
Zhao Ziliang said and waved his hand.
Everyone looked at each other, and Chu Ge pursed his lips at Bai Xiaode.
Bai Xiaode had no choice but to stand up and clasp his fists at Zhao Ziliang and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty will soon go to the west for an expedition."
Zhao Ziliang turned around and asked: "How did you know that Gu was going to conquer the country?"
Brahan said: "Your Majesty, this is not an obvious matter.
You brought fifty or sixty thousand troops from the Tang Dynasty.
I heard that these troops were prisoners in the past.
In the past few years, we here in Western Qin also sent troops from all over the country.
A count of the prisoners in the prison was conducted, and then these prisoners were grouped together.

Military drills have been carried out in several places.
Now even the establishment has been determined.
There are only a few generals who are not in place.
Isn't it obvious that we are going to fight?
Others don't know this.
Although we veterans have retreated to the second line, we are still in the army.
It’s not easy for some old subordinates to know this.”
Zhao Ziliang nodded, "It's not surprising that you can guess it.
You came here together today to ask about this matter."
Wei Meng immediately got up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty is marching to the west, and Wei Meng is willing to be your Majesty's vanguard."
Others also clasped their fists and said: "I am also willing to be your Majesty's pawn.
Please do it."
Zhao Ziliang was stunned, looked at Wei Meng, and then at the others.
He stood up from the throne and came to everyone.
He looked at them one by one and said, "Tsk, tsk, what kind of trouble are you old guys going to do at home?"
I can’t stay any longer, and I have to go to death before I feel comfortable again.
You are already old, can you still mount a war horse, and can you handle weapons?”
The veteran generals were made red-faced by Zhao Ziliang's series of questions.
Wei Meng said angrily: "Your Majesty, I did behave badly in front of you just now.
You want to punish me most, and I will be convinced.
But Your Majesty, you can't look down on me like this.
Although I am a little older, I now eat every meal You can still eat a bushel of rice, eat half a sheep, and drink a jar of wine.
Your skills are still strong and you can fight on horseback.
Just say that some of the younger generals in the army are rivals of the old ministers and call them over.
Challenge me to a duel and see if I don’t beat the shit out of them."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Wei Meng with a disgusted expression and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
He walked up to Chu Ge and asked, "You incited them to come."
Chu Ge smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you have wronged me.
How can I encourage them?
It is Your Majesty who was brought here by them.
These people are tired of living and want to go to the battlefield to seek death.
I see, don't stop me."
Well, if they want to die, let them die outside.
If they die at home, they will waste the land for burial."
Bai Xiaode cursed loudly: "Old man Chu, it was obviously you who took the lead in asking us to come here, but now you actually beat us up.
You really don't deserve to be a human being, so shameless."
Several other people also yelled at Chu Ge.
Zhao Ziliang observed for a while and suddenly laughed.
He finally saw that these old guys were acting in front of him.
"Okay, okay, stop acting in front of Gu.
If Gu can't tell, all these years of being the king will be in vain."
Zhao Ziliang said while waving his hands, "You guys, don't bother.
If Gu takes you, If you are really chopped into pieces on the battlefield, wouldn’t the orphans and widowers in your family have to come to find the orphans and compensate their husbands and fathers?
Okay, okay, go back."
None of the old ghosts moved, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Zhao Ziliang walked a few steps and found that there was no movement behind him.
He turned around and looked a little ugly, "Why do you guys want to stay here and not leave?"
Brahan stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, please let me go.
I have never known anything except fighting in my life.
Now I am no longer a soldier.
Even I don't know how I survived the past few years.
I wake up every morning.
At a loss what to do, I could only keep practicing.
I practice my skills until I can't move.
If I continue like this, I'm afraid I will really go crazy.
Only in the army and on the battlefield can I be like a normal person.
Only on the battlefield and in the military camp can I look at those majestic and high-spirited people.
Only then can the little ones feel at peace.”
Chu Ge cupped his fists and said, "I am the same."
Wei Meng and Bai Xiaode also clasped their fists and said, "The same is true for me."
Zhao Ziliang's face became serious and asked: "When did your situation begin?"
Chu Ge said: "I am a queen who has become an official."
The answers from other people were similar.
Almost all of them had this situation after they retired and took up their careers, but the severity was different.
Zhao Ziliang knew that this was a mental illness similar to postwar psychological syndrome, which was different from general postwar syndrome, which occurred after the war, and these veterans all occurred after retirement. , the symptoms are also different, but there is no doubt that this is a mental illness, and in this era, no professional psychiatrist can treat this mental illness.
It would be fine if they were ordinary soldiers.
After retiring, they could receive treatment by believing in Buddhism or Taoism, reciting scriptures, and living in seclusion to practice meditation.
However, these old guys are all senior generals of the Western Qin Dynasty and cannot join other religions.
Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time and decided to take these old guys with him.
Since the problems occurred on the battlefield and in the military camp, they must be solved on the battlefield and in the military camp.
He said: "I can let you follow, but it depends on You don't have this yet If you are no longer able to ride a horse or carry weapons, then stay at home and wait for death.
Don’t waste people in the army.
Tomorrow morning at 12:00, you will prepare your own weapons, armors and horses and gather at the Cibi Army camp outside the city.
Will wait for you there” Chu Ge and others were overjoyed, and they all clasped their fists and said, "Thank you so much, king, thank you so much, king."
Early the next morning, when Zhao Ziliang, fully clothed and escorted by the Dragon Guards, came to the temporary camp of the Ci Pei Army outside the city, Chu Ge and others were already dressed, carrying weapons, and riding horses waiting at the entrance of the camp.
Zhao Ziliang led them into the camp, and Hun Yao, who was on duty, came up to him and clasped his fists and said: "I pay homage to the king.
Why didn't you send someone to inform the king when he came to the camp?
It's better for me to order people to prepare to greet him."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand, pointed at Chu Ge and the others and said, "Have you seen these old guys?
They said they would follow Gu Qi to fight in the west.
Gu brought them here today just to see how much ability they still have.
You go find some generals and officers."
Come over and give it a try With the skills of these old guys, you don’t have to give face to me or beat them to death, you just need to beat them all down.
Everyone has an extra lunch today.
If instead of beating them down, they beat them down, today No one is allowed to eat at noon.”
Hun Yao stood at attention and straightened his back and said: "Yes" Hun Yao is not young anymore.
When Chu Ge and other veterans followed Zhao Ziliang to quell the chaos in the Central Plains, he had met these people.
He worshiped and admired these people very much, but Zhao Ziliang asked him to find someone to follow these people.
The veterans competed, and he had to obey orders and win, otherwise everyone in the camp would not be allowed to have lunch.
In order not to be embarrassed, Hun Yao had to find Fan Xichao and Gao Chongwen, and also found a few more people with stronger martial arts in the army to compete with Chu Ge and others.

It has to be said that although Chu Ge, Wei Meng, Bai Xiaode and Bo Lehan are old, their martial arts have already been extraordinary, and their physical fitness, strength and agility will not be improved in the next ten or twenty years. will decline with age, but the battlefield fighting experience and fighting skills of these veterans have not been lost, and their special fighting skills are more sophisticated than before.
Except for Hun Yao, Fan Xichao and Gao Chongwen, who were able to fight hundreds of moves against Chu Ge, Wei Meng, Bai Xiaode and Bo Lehan without falling behind, the other generals Hun Yao found were all without exception.
Defeated.
"I don't think you have passed the customs.
You go back and wait for news.
I will send someone to inform you before departure."
Chu Ge and others were overjoyed, saluted Zhao Ziliang and went back happily
