Chapter 246: Upper Performance


Li Longji was about to call for the dismissal of the court, but Zhao Ziliang stood up and saluted again: "General Zhao Ziliang of the left prison gate has something to report."

Not only the ministers, but also Li Longji were stunned.

You, the general guard of the left prison, have something important to say about the country.

But now that Zhao Ziliang has come forward, Li Longji also wants to hear what he wants to say, so he raised his hand.

Said: "Accurate performance" I saw Zhao Ziliang saying: "I suggest that some relevant provisions of the family registration system and curfew system be modified to adapt to the daily life of the people of Chang'an."

The curfew system stipulates that after the night curfew begins, pedestrians are not allowed to walk on the streets, but they can still move freely inside the shops.

The people responsible for night patrols on Chang'an Sixth Street are mainly the Left and Right Jinwu Guards, but the Left and Right Jinwu Guards and the Left and Right Prison Guards They are all the emperor's personal soldiers and are interdependent.

If the clan registration system is not implemented, the curfew system cannot be implemented, anyway.

Li Longji was a little surprised and asked, "What suggestions does Zhao Qing's family have?"

Zhao Ziliang said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that the opening and closing time of Chang'an's outer city gate, imperial city gate, and palace gate be postponed by one hour each.

In addition, the start time of the daily curfew should also be postponed by one hour.

Among them, Xia Qiu and Due to the different lengths of day and night in winter and spring, the opening and closing of city gates and the start of curfew are half an hour later in summer and autumn, and half an hour earlier in winter and spring."

When Zhao Ziliang put forward this suggestion, he was immediately opposed by some courtiers.

One of them stood up and targeted Zhao Ziliang: "The time for the opening and closing of the city gates and the start of the curfew were determined after years of research and calculation by many people.

How can we just change it?"

" Zhao Ziliang said: "I dare to ask this gentleman why the family registration system and curfew system are implemented."

The official snorted coldly: "The most important thing is of course for safety, and secondly it is also in line with the people's living habits."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziliang saluted Li Longji and said: "Your Majesty, please Rong Chen refute this gentleman's words."

"Accurate" Li Longji was a little excited.

He wanted to see how Zhao Ziliang would argue against these two reasons.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ziliang agreed and immediately said: "The implementation of the family registration system and the curfew system can indeed play a role in protecting the safety of the people, officials, His Majesty and members of the royal family in Chang'an.

This is beyond doubt, but delaying it for an hour will not This effect will not be affected.

If it was during the reign of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, the time prescribed by the family registration system and the curfew system were indeed very good, but now they are not suitable and some modifications must be made.

Why then?

Our dynasty has just been established, the society is not yet stable, and the output is not yet rich.

The people are running around for a living, and they also have the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

But things are different now.

Now our Tang Dynasty is under the leadership and governance of Your Majesty. , the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the products are rich.

In the past, the people may not even be able to eat one meal of white flour a year, but now the people have white noodles to eat every day, and can eat meat every now and then.

Now that their material life is rich, the people must seek spiritual happiness.

Life For example, if your colleagues don’t even have enough to eat, do you still want to listen to music and watch dance every day?

It’s just because you’ve eaten and drank enough that you want to listen to a little song and watch beautiful women dance.

Since all the adults have this need, the common people are no exception.

The adults can enjoy these spiritual lives, but the common people cannot.

Don’t the common people have any complaints?

The purpose of postponing the opening and closing time of the city gate and the curfew time by one hour is to allow the people to go out to the night market after a tiring day, buy and sell things, go to the teahouse to listen to Mr.

Shu telling stories, and go to the restaurant to have a drink to relieve fatigue.

Let wealthy businessmen and officials with financial resources go to brothels and brothels for recreation and relieve their psychological pressure.

This has another advantage, it can speed up the circulation of private money.

Rich businessmen, officials, and landlords have a lot of money, but without a place or time for recreation, their money is buried in the ground and moldy.

This is not good for the court.

The only way is to make money fast.

Circulation, the imperial court's finances can be relieved, the minister has finished."

Zhao Ziliang withdrew from his original position.

Li Longji looked at the ministers and asked, "What do you all think of what General Zhao has reported?"

In fact, most officials are in favor of it from the bottom of their hearts, but because they are too embarrassed to say it out loud, only the old diehards and rotten Confucians express opposition.

After most of the courtiers agreed, Li Longji followed the trend: "Well, since all of you think this modification is good, let's implement it and withdraw from the court."

Gao Lishi shouted: "Retreat from the court" After the court was over, Zhao Ziliang broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

This court was too dangerous.

If he was not careful, he would be used as a pawn and cannon fodder by some people.

Until he returned home, Zhao Ziliang still had lingering fears.

Zhao Ziliang knew very well that as long as he remained in the position of General Gatekeeper of the Left Prison, Li Linfu and other forces in the court would not stop attacking or wooing him.

The only way to survive was to stay close to the emperor and to attack anyone else.

The forces are not pretentious and do not have too deep contacts with any other forces.

At the same time, they are strict with themselves and do not allow themselves to be caught by others, so that some people can find no excuse to attack them.

And in order to fight against those who want to deal with him, he must take action.

First of all, he must firmly grasp the military power in his hands.

Controlling the troops under the Zuojian guard is equivalent to controlling the entrance and exit of Chang'an City.

How to determine that you have absolute command power over your subordinates' armies depends on how well your military orders are implemented by your subordinate generals.

If any military order issued by a general can be executed by his subordinates without hesitation, it means that he has military power.

If a subordinate general hesitates after receiving a military order, it means that the general does not have enough control over military power.

So how to grasp the military power in our hands and hold it firmly?

Zhao Ziliang himself summed up several experiences: first, win people's hearts; second, appoint confidants; third, strictly enforce military discipline.

In fact, improving military regulations and discipline is the most important means to control military power.

Once military orders are issued, if someone does not obey the order and stops moving forward, this is a violation of military regulations and disciplines.

We must kill chickens and scare monkeys to serve as a warning.

Once someone violates the order, we will never tolerate it. , If things go on like this, fewer and fewer people will test the law by themselves, the implementation of military orders will be thoroughly implemented, and military power will be in the hands.

Of course, there are more than one means of controlling military power.

Thought control is the most powerful one, but people in this era don't know how to use it yet.

Of course Zhao Ziliang knows this kind of control method.

The army controlled by this method must have a military soul.

This military soul is faith.

The armies he has trained and commanded already have a military soul.

This is why he always commands the army.

The reason for being able to command and control with ease.

Regarding the army under the Zuojian guard, Zhao Ziliang has a bottom line.

He can control at least half of the army.

The other half is of course under the control of Chen Xuanli.

But if something really happens, Zhao Ziliang is confident that he can control more than 70% of the army. , after all, he controls the supervisor of the law enforcement department that oversees military discipline.

At the gate of the left prison, Zhao Ziliang knew that he could only control the number of troops to this extent.

If he wanted to control more troops, it would be equivalent to taking the military power from Chen Xuanli.

This would definitely make him hostile to Chen Xuanli, which was unnecessary.

Back at the mansion, a maid brought porridge, noodles and pickles and said, "Master, it's time for breakfast."

"Oh, let's put it here" Zhao Ziliang picked up the pancake and ate it with pickles.

After just a few bites, he remembered the female assassin who was locked in the cellar.

After thinking about it, he picked up the tray with the food and walked to the backyard.

Arriving at the door of a woodshed, two guards immediately saluted: "General" Zhao Ziliang asked: "What happened to the female assassin in the cellar?

Bai Xiaode invited the military doctor to see it?"

The attendant on the left said: "The doctor has come over and said that the female assassin's internal organs were hit hard.

Fortunately, the person who did it was merciful and it was not very serious.

The doctor prescribed a dose of decoction and said that after taking it for half a month, she would be able to go to the ground.

After taking one The moon will heal you."

Zhao Ziliang nodded: "Well, open the door."

"promise" After the cellar door was opened, Zhao Ziliang walked down to the cellar with a tray.

There was an oil lamp lit in the cellar, and there were floor windows.

The light and air were pretty good, and it was very dry.

The logs were placed in some jars and jars containing pickles in the cellar.

It was moved away, and now there is a wooden bed, with a woman in black lying on the wooden bed.

As if she heard the noise, the woman in black lying on the bed was very alert and immediately stood up, but she didn't want to have a sharp pain in her abdomen that made her plan fail, and she had to lie down dejectedly.

Zhao Ziliang glanced at Nie Sanniang, put the food on the small table next to him, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Nie Sanniang said coldly: "I, Nie Sanniang, fell into your hands today because I was destined to be like this.

If you want to kill me, kill me.

Don't be pretentious.

If you want to know something from me, it's just a dream.

I won't accept this. " Oh, the little pepper is really hot.

A different thought was aroused in Zhao Ziliang's heart.

He sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "Although you want to kill me, I don't want to kill you.

Look at you."

She was so beautiful, it would be a pity to die.

Let's do this.

You marry me as your wife, and your murder of me will be wiped out.

What do you think?"

"I originally thought it would be a pity to kill such a frontier general like you, but I didn't expect you to be a prodigal.

It's a shame you could have imagined that."

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and smiled: "Everyone has a love for beauty.

Is there any man in the world who doesn't like beautiful women?

If men don't like beautiful women, then what's the use of being so beautiful as a woman?"

Forget it if they all grow up to be ugly.

By then, all men’s wives will be ugly, and there will no longer be fights over beauty.

How wonderful it would be.”

"It's just nonsense, nonsense."

Nie Sanniang was almost laughed out of laughter.

In order to cover up, she immediately turned her head to the side
