Zhao Ziliang quickly followed the three eunuchs to the Danfeng Gate, the main south gate of the Daming Palace.
Horseback riding was not allowed in the palace.
He asked Bai Xiaode to watch the horses and wait outside the Danfeng Gate.
After passing the inspection, he followed the eunuchs into the Daming Palace.
Inside.
Seventeen emperors of the Tang Dynasty handled government affairs here successively, which lasted for more than 200 years.
It is located in Longshouyuan on the north side of Chang'an City.
Its area is four and a half times the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing, equivalent to the size of 500 football fields, three Versailles, 12 Kremlins, 13 Louvres, 15 Buckingham Palace.
Daming Palace is only one of the three palaces in Chang'an City.
The other two palaces are Taiji Palace and Xingqing Palace.
Zhao Ziliang has been to the Daming Palace once, last time in the Xuanzheng Hall.
This time he followed the three eunuchs through the main halls of the Daming Palace, the Hanyuan Hall and the Xuanzheng Hall, and finally came to the emperor's daily office and activities.
The place is inside the Zichen Hall.
Along the way, Zhao Ziliang was still shocked by the majestic architectural layout of the Daming Palace even though he had already been here once.
He simply could not imagine that such a magnificent building complex could be built in this era.
When they arrived outside the Zichen Palace, the eunuch who announced the decree stopped and turned around and said to Zhao Ziliang: "General Zhao, there are palace rules in the palace.
Please ask the general to take off his weapons.
We will keep them for you and will return them when the general comes out."
Although Zhao Ziliang had the idea in his mind that soldiers should not let their weapons leave their bodies, this was where the emperor was, and it was necessary to take off the weapons.
He took off the weapons from his waist, took out the dagger from the inside of his boots, and handed it to the eunuch who announced the decree.
The eunuch took it and handed it over to the eunuch outside the palace for safekeeping.
He then turned around and told Zhao Ziliang the rules for meeting the emperor alone so as not to bump into the emperor.
Zhao Ziliang agreed one by one, and the eunuch asked Zhao Ziliang to wait outside while he went into the palace to report to the emperor.
Soon, the eunuch's duck-like cry came from the palace: "Your Majesty has a decree to make an audience with General Dingyuan Zhao Ziliang."
Zhao Ziliang adjusted his helmet and armor, then strode into the palace gate and saluted before His Majesty Dan: "My lord, Zhao Ziliang, pays homage to Your Majesty.
Long live my Emperor!"
Li Longji raised his hand and said, "Zhao Qing's family, please get back on your feet."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang thanked him, stood up and stepped aside.
Li Longji asked: "Zhao Qing family, what is the position of the guard of Jinguang Gate?
How are you doing?"
“Very good, very powerful” What do you mean?
Li Longji was stunned and asked: "What's the explanation?"
Zhao Ziliang bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, apart from the palace gate and the imperial city gate, the outer city wall of Chang'an City has a total of twelve gates, large and small.
These gates are used to resist foreign enemies from attacking the city and to prevent criminals from entering the city and harming the people. important level, and also The checkpoints that prevent criminals from escaping the capital.
If you include the Imperial City Gate and the Palace City Gate, these gates are also related to the safety of His Majesty, the princes, princesses, and concubines.
If the gate control is not strict, once something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, every city gate guard Will The responsibilities are actually very important.
Even a small captain can fulfill this position, but it is not easy to do it well.
Its authority is actually very large.
Will not be afraid of powerful people and uphold loyalty , even relatives of the emperor are not allowed to enter or leave.
Your Majesty, please think about it.
If someone wants to carry out military remonstrance or plan a coup, and wants to be disadvantageous to Your Majesty, the first step is to deal with the gate guards of each city and palace, otherwise he will not be able to come.
Your Majesty’s side today” "Ahem!"
Li Longji coughed twice, interrupting Zhao Ziliang to continue.

Then he waved his hand and said to other people in the store: "You all, please step aside."
"Nuo" All the palace maids and eunuchs had withdrawn.
There was no one else in the store except Zhao Ziliang and Li Longji.
Zhao Ziliang thought that the emperor was very courageous.
He didn't leave anyone behind.
Wasn't he afraid that I would treat him badly?
unfavorable Just as Zhao Zi was muttering in his conscience, Li Longji spoke again: "What did you want to say just now?
Keep talking."
"No," Zhao Ziliang agreed, and continued: "Today, the minister does not allow His Majesty to leave the city, not only because Master Gao did not bring his family registration, but also because once Your Majesty leaves the city, the danger will be greatly increased, because no one knows that you are the emperor.
And knowing that you are the emperor Emperor, people who are interested in doing harm to you will definitely be watching your every move.
If you go out of the city, they can prepare outside the city in advance.
The open space outside the city is not as dense as the houses in the city, making it difficult to hide and hide when attacked. , can’t even run away, inside the city You can let the limited guards hold back the enemy, and then find houses and alleys to hide, and you can drag the patrolling soldiers of the Jinwu Guard to come to the rescue.
Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you should know this truth.
For the sake of the safety of the Tang Dynasty, please ask your Majesty Don’t take it easy in the future It's dangerous.
And since Your Majesty wants to go on patrol incognito, why don't you bring your family name and route guide?
Isn't it clear that you want to be able to enter and exit freely according to your identity?
How can you achieve the purpose of being incognito?
I'm afraid you haven't left the imperial city yet.
Every move he makes is known to many caring people.”
Zhao Ziliang's two words before and after aroused Li Longji's great attention.
At this time, he was quite dissatisfied with Gao Lishi for leaving the palace without bringing his family status.
I'm afraid this old guy is used to showing off his power, otherwise he would not forget to bring his family name with him. membership.
Li Longji nodded, humbly accepted Zhao Ziliang's suggestions and criticism, and said: "Today I visited all the twelve gates of the capital, as well as the imperial city and palace gates, but only your Golden Light Gate was missing.
To allow me to pass, other sects either knew Gao Lishi and allowed me to pass, or they also allowed me to pass after Gao Lishi paid for it.
Well, it was not until today that I discovered that Chang'an City was leaking everywhere.
The guards at each gate were lazy and had almost no military discipline.
Under such circumstances, there are great hidden dangers to my safety and the safety of all the people in Chang'an City.
I plan to Reorganizing the guards and city defenses.
The Jinguang Gate guarded by Aiqing has done a good job.
Where do you think we should start?"
Zhao Ziliang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that these problems can only be solved by strengthening the implementation of the family registration system.
The situation at the palace gate and the imperial city gate may be better, because almost all the people entering and leaving the palace gate and the imperial city gate are relatives of the emperor. , princes and ministers, so the generals and soldiers generally do not dare to ask them for money.
As long as they have the family registration in hand, they will generally not be challenged or blocked, but they can do it without the family registration.
If there is free passage, it must be because the guards and soldiers are afraid that if they strictly enforce the clan registration system, they will be retaliated by the officials who do not bring the clan registration.
Of course, the guards and soldiers at the outer city gate do not dare to ask the princes and ministers for money.
The reason why the clan registration system is not implemented well is because they are short of money.
They dare to ask for money.
Why are they short of money because their military pay is not enough?
Why do they often go to the streets to drink, go to restaurants, brothels and brothels?
How can they spend enough military pay?
Therefore, in order to strengthen the enforcement of the clan registration system, we must first rectify military discipline, so that generals and sergeants cannot leave their posts without permission, and cannot easily collect money from the people, so that they do not have much time to visit the brothels and drink wine.
Secondly, a reporting system should be implemented.
As long as someone reports the truth, the generals and soldiers on duty will be punished immediately after investigation.
A special system should be established at the left prison guard and the right prison guard to sanction dereliction of duty generals and soldiers, as well as those without guards.
Officials with the official registration and route guide will be assigned to the government office, as long as they dare to give money to the guard and soldiers, as long as they dare to use their status to intimidate the guards and soldiers, they will be punished.

The establishment of this yamen does not need to be large, but the treatment of officials and soldiers must be good.
They cannot be bribed.
If they can easily If you are bribed, you may collude with the guards and soldiers.
The last step is to strengthen the training of the garrison of each gate.
In the past few months since coming to the capital, Weichen has roughly observed that except for the soldiers of Weichen's Jinguang Gate who have passed the test in terms of military discipline and combat power after reorganization, the other The military discipline and combat effectiveness of each garrison are poor."
Li Longji had been listening to Zhao Ziliang quietly.
After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said, "The Zhao Qing family came forward to listen to the seal."
Zhao Ziliang was stunned, and immediately walked to the middle to salute, and then heard Li Longji say: "Confer Zhao Ziliang, the guard of Jinguang Gate, as the general of the Zuojian Gate Guards, and set up a special department in the Zuojian Gate Guards to supervise the palace gates, the imperial city gates, and the outer city gates.
To implement the access control system, one hundred and twenty soldiers were removed from the mansion of the left and right Ling Zhonglang generals."
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."
The left and right prison guards are two of the sixteen guards, each with one senior general, one great general, and two generals, who are in charge of all gate guards and gate registration.
Generally speaking, the general has a false position and does not actually handle official affairs.
The general only has a name and does not interfere with specific affairs.
The real person in charge is the general.
There are two generals on the left prison guard.
One of them is Chen Xuanli, who is in charge.
For outer city gate defense and gate registration affairs, another position was vacant before, but now Zhao Ziliang took up this position and was in charge of the palace of General Ling Zhonglang.
These two yamen were in charge of the palace, imperial city gate guards, and family registration.
However, the emperor gave him another task, which was to form a supervisory department to supervise all leftist officials.
The city gates under the jurisdiction of the prison gate guards enforce the gate registration system and the military discipline and soldier training conditions.
When he got home, Chen Qingying, Wang Zhiyun and Zhao Hu were waiting for him to have dinner.
The dishes were all put on the table.
When Chen Qingying saw Zhao Ziliang coming back, a smile appeared on her face and she felt relieved.
She quickly stepped forward to greet him and took the food from him.
He hung up his sword, cloak and armor one by one, and brought him a clean uniform to put on.
Then everyone sat down to eat together.
While eating, Chen Qingying asked: "Is there nothing wrong?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Why is it okay?
Why did the emperor ask me to come to see you?
The emperor just promoted me.
I can finally stop being this poor city gate official.
Well, by the way, since I have been promoted, why don't I drink some wine to celebrate, girl, Go get the wine”.
"Oh" Wang Zhiyun happily agreed and went to get the wine happily.
"That's good, that's good."
Chen Qingying patted her chest repeatedly and asked: "What kind of official position will I give you this time?
Isn't it because I don't let you guard the city gate but let you guard the palace gate?"
Zhao Ziliang took a bite of the food and said: "General Zuojian Gatekeeper is in charge of the palace gates, imperial city gate guards and gate registration affairs in Chang'an City."
"Wow uncle, aren't you very majestic?"
Zhao Hu shouted loudly, with bright eyes.
Zhao Ziliang smiled and patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder and said: "Study hard and learn martial arts well.
When you grow up, you will also strive for fame and become a general to give face to our old Zhao family."
Zhao Hu nodded solemnly: "Yeah":
