Seeing that the emperor recognized his words, Zhao Ziliang became more confident and continued: "Weichen summarized what Mr.
Zuo just said.
There are three main points: First, Weichen's law enforcement is so strict that many generals, colonels, and colonels are subordinate to Zuo Jian's guard.
The captains and soldiers complained a lot; secondly, because of the establishment of the prison guard, the generals, captains and soldiers under the left prison guard no longer dared to cross the road of passers-by.
The inspection of entrance and door registrations was relaxed, and the guards and soldiers naturally had to be careful when conducting interrogations, lest they make mistakes.
This also slowed down the entry and exit of the people and officials, which wasted time.
There were scorching sun and heavy rain in summer, and heavy snow and heavy rain in winter.
Cold wind; thirdly, because the gate registration system must be strictly enforced, the gatekeepers and gatekeepers are not flexible enough in law enforcement, which delays some people's official duties.
Next, Wei Chen expressed his views and solutions to these three issues for His Majesty and the generals.
First of all, let’s talk about the first question.
Mr.
Zuo said that the law enforcement by the ministers was too strict, and the generals, captains and soldiers below were complaining.
I would like to ask Mr.
Zuo why they were complaining.” "" Zuo Shizong was speechless, but he quickly reacted and said immediately: "No matter why they complained, General Zhao's actions did arouse the dissatisfaction of many generals, lieutenants and sergeants.
If General Zhao's actions make These people caused a mutiny, can General Zhao afford the punishment?"
Zhao Ziliang asked back: "Is this something that Mr.
Zuo should take care of and ask about?
Mr.
Zuo is the minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Chen sesame and rotten millet in your Ministry of Rites have a lot of things to do.
You don't deal with the things you should do, but you are like a dog and a mouse.
Noisy things, the court has nothing to do, it’s mediocre People trouble themselves because there are officials like Mr.
Zuo in the court, which causes more troubles.
If everyone works hard to do their own thing, perform their duties and take responsibility, the court will be calm, and His Majesty the Emperor will also It will be much more relaxed and leisurely” "you" "Zhao came and told Mr.
Zuo why those people were complaining."
Zhao Ziliang interrupted Zuo Shizong and continued: "Because the eunuch established by your majesty has harmed their interests and made them live a very uncomfortable life.
Strengthening the opposition The enforcement of the membership system has left these people with no money to make money from. , so that they have to get up and practice at 9 o'clock in the morning every day, so that they can no longer go to brothels and gourmet courtyards to drink wine as usual, so that they can no longer go to the streets to molest good women and bully kind-hearted women.
Every day Their whole bodies were sore from the training, so they complained a lot."
"Puch!"
Some officials couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing Zhao Ziliang's words.
Li Longji couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard it, but in the end he couldn't help but laugh.
Zhao Ziliang looked around and continued: "The entire twelve guards of the Central Army, the six guards and six leaders of the Prince's East Palace, as well as the left and right Longwu Army, the left and right Yulin Army, the left and right Shenwu Army, the left and right Qianniu Guards, and the left and right prison guards in the Forbidden Army.
Gate guard, I don’t know about the other guards.
However, even before Wei Chen was promoted to the rank of general, the imperial guards of the Zuojian Gate were already in a bad state.
They demanded city entry taxes from travelers and ordinary people, and money from people who had no family name.
Military discipline was lax, and the city defense posts and patrols had been abandoned for a long time.
The fighting ability of the soldiers is simply not good With one blow, not to mention other things, a certain person only needs to draw ten ordinary soldiers from the Anxi frontier army to defeat the one hundred sergeants subordinate to the left prison guard.
If military discipline is not improved and the unhealthy trends in the army are not corrected, once There is a major accident and the consequences will be disastrous It is assumed that since the minister has launched the purge, he is naturally sure to control the situation.
What happened today was already expected by Wei Chen.
It is inevitable that such small-scale conflicts will occur during the purge.
Since the cancer must be removed, temporary pain is inevitable.
Bleeding is inevitable What is the purpose of rectifying military discipline and supervising the implementation of the registration system and military drills by the generals, lieutenants and soldiers under the Zuojian Gate Guard?
It is to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops under the Zuojian Gate Guard and be able to protect the safety of His Majesty the Emperor and the imperial court.
To ensure that His Majesty the Emperor has absolute command over the army, if the military discipline of the army belonging to the Zuojian Gate Guard is allowed to continue to be loose, all parties in the capital will be The guards at the outer city gate, the imperial city gate and the palace city gate are useless.
As long as someone pays a lot of money to bribe the generals, gate captains and soldiers, can His Majesty the Emperor still command the army?

The army is the army of the Tang Dynasty.
If your Majesty's army is paid by the imperial court, but can be bribed by others, and can defect after being promised huge profits, then is it still the army of the Tang Dynasty, or is it still your Majesty's army?"
Zuo Shizong couldn't help but said: "General Zhao's words are a bit alarmist, right?"
"Scaremongering."
Zhao Ziliang turned around and said, "Humph, Mr.
Zuo, do you dare to make a bet with Zhao?
Now please ask Your Majesty to order an inspection of all the troops in the capital.
As long as there are 60% of the troops with strict discipline, Zhao is willing to kill him.
Otherwise, Zuo will be killed."
Sir, your head will fall to the ground.”
Zuo Shizong's face turned red, "You are a common man, who would make such a boring bet with you, Your Majesty?"
"That's enough."
Li Longji immediately interrupted Zuo Shizong.
Even as an emperor, he would not dare to deal with matters involving the army casually.
He was worried that Zuo Shizong agreed to bet with Zhao Ziliang.
If he really investigated all the troops in the capital, it would be very difficult.
There may be big trouble, as the emperor , he had heard about it more or less, and had thought about rectifying it, but it involved all aspects, and a slight mistake would cause chaos.
This is why he only asked Zhao Ziliang to set up a supervisor at the left prison guard, instead of at the same time.
The same reason was given to other guards for the same reason.
Zuo Shizong was startled by the look in the emperor's eyes and hurriedly stepped aside.
Li Longji said to Zhao Ziliang again: "Zhao Qing's family, please continue talking about the matter, don't go too far."
When the emperor said this, Zhao Ziliang understood that he should not expand the scope to other armies in the capital, so he continued: "Now the minister is talking about the second question Mr.
Zuo said, because the enforcement of the clan registration system has been strengthened and slowed down.
The speed of entry and exit of pedestrians, people and officials is controlled.
This will definitely have an impact at the beginning, but as time goes by, the experience of the gate guards and soldiers will become more and more abundant, and the recognition of true and false road guides and gate registrations will also be improved, and the inspection speed will be very fast. will increase as soon as possible.
As for slowing down the traffic speed, the people and officials will Bearing the scorching sun, heavy rain, cold wind and heavy snow, in response to this situation, our Zuojian Gate Guard Office decided to build some pergolas and awnings at each city gate for the people and officials to enjoy the cool, rain, wind and snow.
The money does not need to be borne by the court.
We, the Zuojian Gate Guard Office, will take care of those who Fines will be levied on those who violate the gate regulations, caught criminals, and merchants who want to force their way into the city gates.
Part of it will be used to build the above facilities, and the other part will be used for meritorious soldiers, soldiers who abide by military discipline and practice diligently.
Provide rewards to increase their motivation The third question Mr.
Zuo raised was that our Zuo prison guards were too rigid, inflexible, and inflexible in enforcing the membership system, causing officials to delay a lot of official duties.
I would like to ask Mr.
Zuo, why did you forget to bring your family registration when you go out?
Since you have a bad memory, why don’t you ask someone to remind you?
Since you have to go out to handle official business, why don’t you think carefully and remember everything else?
, you even remember to bring the fish charm that represents your official rank, why can’t you remember to ask for it?
Do you think it is dispensable to have a family registration?
If you bring a family registration, nothing will happen.
As long as you show your family registration and there is no problem with your family registration, no one will dare to deliberately embarrass you.
If someone dares to I deliberately made things difficult for you.
Just tell me and I will make this person pay for his stupidity.
Your Majesty, I’ve finished.”
At this time, Li Longji was still very diligent in political affairs and had not neglected government as he did later.
He admired what Zhao Ziliang said very much.
He looked at the civil and military ministers and asked: "Who else wants to impeach Zhao Ziliang?"

Looking at Li Longji's face, the civil and military ministers didn't understand the emperor's intentions.
Wouldn't they make themselves uncomfortable if they stood up to cause trouble for Zhao Ziliang at this time?
Therefore, no one stood up.
Li Longji glanced at Zuo Shizong, snorted coldly: "I don't know what to say."
After that, he stood up, flicked his sleeves, and strode away.
Gao Lishi immediately shouted: "Retreat from the court" The courtiers bowed their hands and bowed in salute: "Best farewell to Your Majesty."
After walking out of the Xuanzheng Hall, Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli were about to return to the left prison gatekeeper's office together, but they were stopped by a eunuch running from behind: "General Zhao, stay here."
When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he turned around and saw that it was a eunuch, so he cupped his hands and said, "I wonder why this father-in-law asked me to stop you?"
"His Majesty ordered General Zhao to go to Zichen Palace to see him."
Yes, I still have to see the emperor once.
Zhao Ziliang had to say to Chen Xuanli: "General Chen, I will go to see your majesty first, you."
Chen Xuanli immediately said: "Then Chen will go back first.
I would like to thank General Zhao for today.
I will host a banquet at Zuixian Tower at noon.
General Zhao must appreciate it."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Okay, I have always wanted to have a drink with General Chen alone."
Following the eunuch to the Zichen Palace, Zhao Ziliang bowed again: "I see your Majesty."
"No need to be polite, just stand up" Li Longji put down the memorial in his hand, raised his hand and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang still did enough etiquette, but he didn't dare to be rude.
In fact, Xuanzong valued his generals very highly, and even loved and indulged them very much.
This can be seen from his treatment of Gai Jiayun, Wang Zhongsi, Huangfu Weiming, and later Anlushan.
Anlushan relied on Xuanzong's favor and trust.
Xuanzong didn't even blame him for not bowing to him when he saw him, which shows how much he doted on his generals.
Li Longji stood up and waved everyone else out.
He walked down Danbi and walked back and forth in the hall for a few times.
He stopped and turned around and asked: "Zhao Aiqing, you just said in the Xuanzheng Hall that more than half of the troops in the capital are here."
The military is already disorganized and rotten, can I believe you?"
Zhao Ziliang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if your Majesty really wants to know the truth, it shouldn't be difficult.
As long as you send someone to investigate secretly, you can get the details very quickly.
The prerequisite is that the person sent to investigate must be absolutely reliable.
In fact, I said These are nothing, there are still many issues that are really worrying.”
Li Longji asked: "What about?"
"The world has been at peace for a long time.
Both officials and people have lost their vigilance to the crisis.
A large number of common people's fields across the country have been annexed by bureaucrats and wealthy landlords to become Yongye fields.
The taxes that the imperial court can receive are getting less and less.
This is one of the reasons; Second, various places clash with each other.
A large number of soldiers fled, and many Zhechong prefectures had almost no troops to send.
For the sake of political performance, officials deceived the superiors and subordinates.
It can be said that except for the border areas, the interior of the Tang Dynasty was extremely empty.
Once someone tried to rebel, they would be able to defeat the enemy today.
Your Majesty said this, yes In order to take the risk of beheading, please understand that the Tang Dynasty has reached the peak of its prosperity under your majesty's governance.
If it continues at this point, it will inevitably flourish and decline.
If you want to continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, The most important thing at this time is that His Majesty’s prestige is at its highest When His Majesty was in great power, he reformed certain systems to meet the needs of historical development.

Even if some people objected, they would not dare to act rashly because of His Majesty’s prestige.
If some changes were not made, in five or ten years, It will be too late if you think about reform anymore.”
Li Longji listened to Zhao Ziliang's words and remained silent for a long time.
Zhao Ziliang didn't know why he was so dizzy that he said these words.
This was simply looking for death.
There was only the sound of Zhao Ziliang and Li Longji breathing in the hall, and Zhao Ziliang even felt that his back was wet with sweat.
I don’t know how long it took, but Li Longji finally spoke: “I understand, please step back.”
"I excuse myself."
Zhao Ziliang finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly, bowed and left the hall, and walked out of the palace quickly
