Early the next morning, Zhao Ziliang took Bai Xiaode and other retinues, dressed in armor, to the Zuojian Gate Guard Office to take up their posts, preparing to prepare a supervisory department dedicated to the Zuojian Gate Guards, Cao Jian.
This is a brand new department, and the Sixteen Guards have always had Never.
"Hahaha, congratulations.
Chen led all the generals and officials in the guards to welcome General Zhao to take office."
Chen Xuanli led a group of generals, captains, lieutenants, and officials at the gate of the left prison gate to Zhao Ziliang, who was dismounting, and laughed.
In fact, after receiving the news last night, many generals and officials from the left prison guard's office prepared to rush to Zhao Ziliang's villa with gifts overnight to congratulate him.
On the one hand, they wanted to get acquainted with Zhao Ziliang and build a good relationship.
On the other hand, they naturally wanted to I want to take refuge, but it’s a pity that the city gate after dark It has been closed.
Most of these generals and officials live in the city, but those who live outside the city are turned away by Zhao Ziliang on the grounds that it is late at night and it is inconvenient to see guests.
Therefore, Zhao Ziliang is difficult to deal with and may be difficult to get along with.
The news quickly spread throughout the left prison guard's office.
Chen Xuanli was a close confidant of Li Longji.
When Empress Wei and Princess Anle were killed, as a member of the Forbidden Army, he was one of the main contributors.
However, his rank was not high at that time.
After so many years, he finally climbed the ranks.
He reached the rank of general of the left prison guard.
In the capital, military generals have little opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
If they want to be promoted, apart from winning the emperor's favor, they mainly rely on seniority.
Unless they succeed in launching a coup, and are the main contributors, and can rise to the top in one step, there is no other way. .
This is different from the side generals.
As long as the side generals are willing to work hard, know how to fight and win the battles, it is easy to be promoted.
For example, people such as Fumeng Lingcha, Wang Zhongsi, Huangfu Weiming, Zhao Ziliang, and Gao Xianzhi can be promoted as fast as they want.
Zhao Ziliang smiled and cupped his hands in return and said: "General Chen, you're so polite.
I'm sorry that I bothered all my colleagues to wait here for so long."
"Where is it?"
The generals and officials all raised their hands and said, especially the generals and officials who were affiliated with the Zuolingzhonglang General's Mansion that Zhao Ziliang was about to rule.
Zhao Ziliang was their direct superior, so it was normal to fawn over him.
As for the subordinates, The generals and officials under Chen Xuanli There were also many people who flattered Zhao Ziliang, but they had no choice.
They got the news that Zhao Ziliang had received the emperor's order to establish a new yamen in Zuojian Gate Guard.
This yamen was responsible for supervision.
The city gate captains and soldiers were all under his supervision.
On the surface, Chen Xuanli and Zhao Ziliang have the same position level.
Each is responsible for a piece of work, and their status seems to be about the same.
However, in fact, Zhao Ziliang is slightly higher than Chen Xuanli.
At least he has much greater power.
He not only manages the palace gate , the imperial guards and registration affairs of the imperial city gate, and also in charge of the supervision of the gate guards, captains and soldiers under Chen Xuanli's jurisdiction over the implementation of the registration system, military discipline and drill matters.
Everyone exchanged greetings at the entrance of the government office for a while before entering the government office together.
Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli each had their own office space.
Zhao Ziliang's team room was on the east side, and Chen Xuanli's team room was on the west side.
Although the lobby where Zhao Ziliang currently works has always been vacant, there are still subordinate officials on duty, so it must be cleaned every day, and everything is available.
Zhao Ziliang can directly start handling official business as soon as he arrives.
At Zhao Ziliang's invitation, Chen Xuanli and the generals and school officials who had just greeted him outside the door came to sit in the front hall where he was handling official business.
Zhao Ziliang sat on the main seat, Chen Xuanli sat next to him, and the others sat in two seats.
On the other side, subordinate officials soon brought tea for everyone to enjoy.
At the beginning, Zhao Ziliang had no chairs in Shengtang, only a bed with a backrest.

Sitting on his knees all the time felt very uncomfortable, but as time went by, he gradually got used to it.
After everyone sat down and drank tea, they introduced each other and got to know each other.
After talking for about an hour, Zhao Ziliang said: "I've talked a lot with you today, and I've gotten to know you and the people in the Zuojian Gate and Guard House a little bit.
I'm new here, so I should communicate with you more and get to know each other better.
I'll look at choosing a date."
It's better to hit the sun , at Shen Shi this afternoon, a certain person held a banquet at Zuixian Tower in the south of the city.
I asked General Chen and all his colleagues to come together to admire General Chen and ask for a favor from you.
The government office will stop working at the end of the day, so that all colleagues can relax and work together.
How about going to Zuixian Tower?"
No one present expected that Zhao Ziliang would invite everyone to drink on the first day he took office.
Everyone smiled and murmured in their hearts, it seems that this Zhao Ziliang is not difficult to deal with.
Although Chen Xuanli looked down on Zhao Ziliang because he was young, Zhao Ziliang said that he wanted to treat guests to dinner and drinks, and discussed with him to let his subordinates leave work early.
Of course he would not disagree, and immediately smiled and said: "Originally, according to the rules of the government, you cannot take a break early.
We are on duty, but today General Zhao has just taken office and intends to entertain you all, so I will make an exception and let you all go to Zuixian Tower together after your untimely break, so as to try to finish and go home before the dusk curfew."
Zhao Ziliang never understood why Chang'an City's curfew started around 5:30 in the afternoon.
It wasn't until he inquired that he found out that people in this era basically only had two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and no meal at noon.
Yes, dinner started at around four in the afternoon, and the curfew happened to be enforced after I returned home.
After everyone dispersed, Zhao Ziliang said to Wang Can: "I want to see the qualifications and background records of all the generals and officials in the Department of Health.
Go and get them."
"promise" Wang Can quickly came over with a lot of case files, and Zhao Ziliang immediately started to look through the case files.
When he came out, he was not familiar with the government officials, generals, and officials.
If he wanted to do things and get things done beautifully, he had to do it. use Use people who are talented and trustworthy.
This is one of Zhao Ziliang's purposes in looking at the personnel files of all generals and officials in the government.
However, just looking at the case files is not enough.
He must actually get to know them through actual contact and then inquire from others.
After watching for a whole morning, there was no food in the government office at noon.
Zhao Ziliang was used to eating three meals a day, and he was young and strong.
He would be hungry after missing one meal.
However, he had already prepared.
At noon, Bai Xiaode I took out a bag of white flour meat buns, some braised pork, and roasted chicken.
I had a delicious meal and continued to read the files in the afternoon.
"Hey, this person is a bit interesting."
Zhao Ziliang looked at the comments recorded in the personnel file in a file, and saw in the comments column: "This person is highly skilled in martial arts, but is not good at words, has an arrogant personality, and has difficulty getting along with his colleagues."
Looking again, this man's name is Gong Ren Longtao, a Guidelang general.
His rank is the same as that of a guerrilla general.
His ancestors have some relationship with Xue Rengui.
Gong Ren is now a cavalry officer under the Zuojian Gate Guard and joins the army.
He is in charge of all the troops under the Zuojian Gate Guard.
Cavalry related matters.
Zhao Ziliang used a brush to record this person's name.
He had already recorded four people.
He continued to look down and soon saw another school captain named Chen Qing.
This person had no background and was an orphan, but he was in the evaluation column.
On it, there is also written martial arts Gao Qiang, a lively person, and the comments were all written by the previous left prison guard general before he left.
Excluding deliberate actions, these comments should be very pertinent.

As for whether they are as written in the case file, we still need to conduct actual research. touch.
Zhao Ziliang's Zuo Ling Zhonglang Mansion has four Zhonglang generals who are in charge of the imperial guards and gate registration affairs of the palace city and the imperial city gate.
These four Zhonglang generals will be on duty in pairs.
They are named Li Guangting, Xu Tu, Gu Shan and Qu Yingfeng.
Among the four, Li Guangting has a deeper background.
He is a descendant of Li Ji.
The other three have average backgrounds.
Zhao Ziliang found Bai Xiaode and handed him the paper on which he had recorded several names, and ordered: "Go find these people and ask them to go to Zuixian Tower together in the future, and tell them that no matter what the reason, they cannot be absent.
You are not allowed to bring gifts, and I won’t accept them if you bring them.”
"No" Bai Xiaode agreed, took the paper with the name on it and turned around.
Just after noon, Zhao Ziliang came to Zuixian Tower with several guards.
As one of the two main guards in the left prison, he only needed to report to the guard room to enter and leave the government office freely.
He did not need to be like other guards.
People must order mao and stay in the government office until the off-duty time comes before they can get off work.
Since there were many people coming to the government office for the banquet, Zhao Ziliang directly reported down to the second floor of Zuixian Building and asked the shopkeeper to tell the chef to prepare the food and wine quickly.
As soon as Wei Shi arrived, generals and officials soon arrived.
Zhao Ziliang asked Bai Xiaode to arrange seats for them.
After a while, Bai Xiaode came over and reported: "General, the general named Gong Rengui Delang written on your list has arrived."
"Oh, where is he sitting?"
Zhao Ziliang asked, turning his head and looking around.
"Just over there in the corner" Zhao Ziliang followed Bai Xiaode's fingers and saw a person sitting alone at a table in the corner.
The person was wearing regular clothes, but it could not hide the muscles on his body.
This person was not small, but not very delicate. , with a face full of pits and bumps, this kind of person looks tough at first glance.
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "It's estimated that it will take more than half an hour before the food and drinks are served.
You go call Gong Ren over first and take him to the private room next to him.
I'll wait inside and take the other people on the list one by one after they arrive."
Come see me”.
"promise" Zhao Ziliang only waited for a short time in the elegant room, and Bai Xiaode brought Gong Ren in.
"Gong Ren pays homage to the general.
I wonder what the general's orders were when he asked me to come over."
Zhao Ziliang waved to Bai Xiaode and asked him to retreat, saying, "Gong Ren, come on, sit down."
"General Xie," Gong Ren's tone was a little stiff, and he was obviously not good at communicating with others.
However, Zhao Ziliang discovered that this person's eyes were very smart.
This kind of person is just not good at communicating with others.
It does not mean that he is not flexible in mind.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "How did you do in the position of cavalry?"
Gong Ren replied stiffly: "It's acceptable."
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but laugh and said: "What do you mean by how many cavalry guards there are in Shangke's left prison?
Doesn't the general know that you, a cavalry cavalry, basically do nothing in peacetime, and you still say Shangke?"
