Although they didn't want to see it, what Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli were worried about finally happened.
Just after half-time, before Zhao Ziliang had time to have breakfast, Shi Xie Bingzhen, the chief guard of the left prison gate, sent someone to report that someone was coming from the palace.
Ask him and Chen Xuanli to come out immediately to meet the decree.
Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli walked out of their respective squad rooms almost at the same time and came to Xiao Qiang at the gate of the government office.
When they saw the three eunuchs holding whisks with serious faces, their hearts sank.
They looked at each other and stepped forward.
The old eunuch in the middle shouted: "General Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli, the guards of the left prison, have received the order."
The two of them bowed down at the same time, and the eunuch said loudly: "Your Majesty has decreed that Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli will come to the palace immediately to pay homage to you."
"I'll wait for the order," they both agreed at the same time.
After standing up, Chen Xuanli stepped forward and cupped his hands and smiled: "I'm sorry to bother you three father-in-laws to come over here.
I'll give these three father-in-laws some tea."
He took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and stuffed it into it. .
The old eunuch didn't shy away from the large number of people present, so he accepted them generously.
Of course Chen Xuanli's gift was not without purpose.
When the old eunuch accepted the jade pendant, he immediately asked: "May I ask my father-in-law, why did your majesty invite us to the palace to see you?
Could you please tell me something?"
The old eunuch turned to look at Chen Xuanli and asked: "Such a big thing happened in Tonghua Gate yesterday.
Does General Chen think it is nothing?"
When he said this, both Chen Xuanli and Zhao Ziliang understood.
It seemed that Zhao Ziliang was really impressed by what he said.
The two glanced at each other and exchanged secretly with their eyes.
The two immediately ordered their servants to bring the horses over.
He went to the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace with the eunuch who delivered the order.
When holding court meetings, the emperor usually held court meetings in the Xuanzheng Hall.
Hanyuan Hall, the main hall of the Daming Palace, was generally used to hold state ceremonies and ceremonies.
It was not used at other times.
Most of the emperor's court meetings were held in the Xuanzheng Hall, where daily activities and government affairs were held. , meeting a single minister is usually in the Zichen Hall.
Today, the Xuanzheng Hall was overcrowded.
Officials and generals of the fourth rank and above in the capital were all here.
After Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli arrived, they were asked to take away their swords and were told to wait outside the hall and wait for the summons.
The two of them waited outside the hall for about half an hour, and finally the eunuch's voice came from inside the hall: "Your Majesty has a decree to announce that Chen Xuanli and Zhao Ziliang are here to attend."
After tidying up their clothes, the two men immediately entered the palace and bowed before His Majesty Dan: "I am waiting to see Your Majesty.
Long live my Emperor!"
"Get flat" "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two stood up.
Li Longji said: "Zhao Ziliang, Chen Xuanli, and Jingzhao Prefect Liu Guangliang impeached you for lax control, which caused a large-scale fight between the guards at the left prison gate at Tonghua Gate, causing a large number of innocent casualties and seriously disrupting the public security of the capital.
You two What do people say?”
The two glanced at each other, and Zhao Ziliang raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is true that there was a armed fight, but Mr.
Liu Guangliang exaggerated the cause of the matter.
Liang Chao, the captain of the Tonghua Gate Supervisor, violated the membership system and military discipline and committed the crime without authorization.
Caused by collecting money from people entering the city Yes.
A few days ago, by your Majesty's order, I established a supervisor in the Zuo Prison Gate Guards, who is responsible for investigating and punishing the violations of the clan system, military discipline and neglect of training by the gate guards and sergeants at the gates inside and outside the capital.
Liang Chao happened to be a supervisor.
Cao Chang and Guidelang found out Gong Ren, so Gong Ren ordered people to go to Tongren.
Huamen was about to arrest him to enforce military discipline, but Liang Chao not only refused to accept it, but also beat the soldiers who were executing the order.

Gong Ren heard about this and immediately led his men there.
Liang Chao arrested him again and took the lead in drawing out his weapons to attack.
Gong Ren, Gong Ren was forced to fight back, and the fight between the two attracted the attention of both sides.
As a result of the fighting between soldiers, twelve stalls near the city gate were affected, their goods were destroyed, and ten stall owners were injured.
A total of thirty-three soldiers from both sides were injured, but no one died.
As for the stall owners who suffered the disaster, Our left prison guard office has been with them and their homes The family reached a compensation agreement, and the compensation is divided into two parts.
The first is compensation for the loss of goods.
According to the market price of the goods, the amount of compensation will be paid.
The second is compensation for personal injuries, including all their decoctions and nutritional supplements.
And the cost of lost work, the specific amount will depend on the actual situation.
It depends on the actual situation until the victims and their families are satisfied.
If the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen has any different opinions, we can further negotiate with the victims.
As for the two parties involved in the armed fight, I and General Chen Xuanli agreed that Supervisor Cao Cao Chang Gong Not only did Ren and his soldiers make no mistakes, they also had merit.
They were not afraid of the sword and still insisted on performing their duties despite being outnumbered.
This is a role model and should be commended.
The main party, Liang Chao, openly resisted the law and resisted arrest.
Be the first to draw weapons and attack law enforcement officials and Soldiers are really daring.
If they are not severely punished, what is the majesty of the Tang Dynasty's laws and state law enforcement agencies?
Therefore, after discussion, the minister and General Chen Xuanli believed that Liang Chao should be executed and the soldiers under his command who participated in armed fighting should be punished by guarding the border.
Please also ask His Majesty's Holy Judgment" According to the agreement between the two of them, as soon as Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, Chen Xuanli immediately knelt down and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, that Liang Chao is my nephew.
I have failed to entrust you to your majesty, so that such a scandal happened.
It is really a misfortune for my family." , but I will never protect that bastard Liang Chao, he deserves it, and I am also guilty of lax discipline.
Please ask His Majesty to judge, I am willing to take the blame."
Unexpectedly, someone immediately stood up and sneered: "Your Majesty, the two generals Chen Xuanli and Zhao Ziliang not only refused to confess their crimes to Your Majesty on their own, but also made various excuses and used their subordinates as shields.
This is obviously a shirking of responsibility."
This man had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and he could tell at a glance that he was a cunning person.
Zhao Ziliang glanced at this man and asked: "Who is your Excellency?
Before you speak, why don't you tell your Majesty and the princes and ministers present the name of this official in Chang'an City?"
Like a crucian carp crossing a river, your majesty is busy with everything, how can you remember these many names?
How can your majesty know who you are if you don't know your name?"
"You", the sharp-tongued official turned blue with anger, but Zhao Ziliang's words were reasonable, and he couldn't find a reason to refute.
Emperor Li Longji listened to Zhao Ziliang's words and gave a thumbs up in his heart.
He wondered if there should be a rule that in the future, courtiers should inform their official positions and names when they speak.
Otherwise, I would have to work hard every time to remember the last name of the speaker.
Whose name.
However, in order to prevent the two from quarreling in the court at this time, Li Longji still said: "Zhao Ziliang, this is Liu Guangliang, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture who impeached you two."
"Oh, it turns out that your Excellency is Liu Guangliang."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Liu Guangliang in confusion and said, "Master Liu just said that General Chen and I were guilty.
Please forgive me for not disagreeing.
Mr. and General Chen have poor leadership in this matter."
Negligence, but it can’t be called guilty.
According to Liu Da Human logic, if the minister is guilty, will it affect your majesty?
You must know that all the officials in the world are your majesty's ministers and appointed by your majesty.
Liu Guangliang, you are so brave.
You actually harbor evil intentions and want to accuse the minister of guilt.

The responsibility falls on His Majesty.”
When Liu Guangliang heard this, his face turned pale with fright.
He knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am wronged.
I never meant this.
It was all done by Zhao Ziliang's words."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "I'm afraid Mr.
Liu is talking nonsense again.
You are a civil servant and I am a military commander.
You have read more books than me.
When it comes to speaking skills, how can I speak better than you?
You know what you just said Why can't you say me?
Because You are being unreasonable, because you are exaggerating.
It was originally just a small matter within my left prison guard, but you brought it to the court with a big fanfare and scaremongering, hoping to frame Zhongliang, so anything you said is not convincing."
"Ahem!"
Seeing that Liu Guangliang couldn't resist, another official stood up and said: "Zuo Shizong, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, has something to say."
Li Longji turned his head and saw the past, and uttered one word: "Accurate" This is an official in his thirties.
It is extremely rare for someone of this age to be the Minister of Rites.
Zuo Shizong looked at Zhao Ziliang and said: "General Zhao, since the Zuojian Gate Guard Office has made a decision on how to deal with the armed fighting incident, I have nothing to say.
This matter is not a big deal at all.
Mr.
Liu only For the sake of the people of Chang'an, I would like to ask General Zhao and General Chen to strictly control this situation in the future, so that this kind of thing will not happen again, so as not to make the people laugh.
What I want to say is that since General Zhao took office, the guards belonging to the left prison have been removed.
The generals, lieutenants, commanders and soldiers made people panic.
The inspections and interrogations at each city gate were too careful.
It took too much time, so that the people, officials and palace people had to queue up in long lines when entering and leaving.
Now the sun is scorching and they are exposed to the sun for a long time.
Who can stand it?
The people and officials are complaining and even go out.
It often happens that the common people and officials forget to keep the road signs and door registration records.
The general who is the gatekeeper of the left prison The captains, captains and soldiers only know how to strictly implement the regulations of the clan system, but do not know how to be flexible.
If they are just common people, that's it.
What if they are officials or generals who have urgent business to come in and out and are delayed in official business?
So some of General Zhao's I do not agree with your Majesty's approach, so I request that Zhao Ziliang be dismissed from the post of general guard of the left prison."
"Tsk" Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.
When Li Longji saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "Zhao Qing's family, I see you are a little disdainful of Zuo Shilang's words."
Zhao Ziliang bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, of course I disdain the words of Master Zuo.
Master Zong is a civil official, Wei Chen is a military commander, and he is the minister of the Ministry of Rites.
The guard of the Zuo Prison to which Wei Chen belongs belongs to the Forbidden Army and is under the direct jurisdiction of Your Majesty.
Wei Chen There is neither a subordinate relationship nor a system between the minister and him.
What right does he, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, have to decide the ban?
When the military generals go or stay, Your Majesty invites all ministers to come and hold court meetings.
This is not to allow some people to exceed their authority and exercise the power to appoint and remove court officials and military generals.
Rather, it is His Majesty who has the power to discuss and discuss government officials, appoint and remove military generals, and make decisions on government affairs.
The courtiers have the right to do so.
They have the right to express their views and opinions on government affairs, but they can never replace His Majesty’s power of appointment and decision-making.”

Zhao Ziliang's words were to safeguard the emperor's authority and power.
Of course, Li Longji took it seriously.
He nodded and said, "Keep talking."
