Bai Xiugui was originally a subordinate official.
It was extremely difficult for a subordinate official to become a formal official.
The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were different from those of later generations.
He was ranked first in the regular examination, that is, after passing the Jinshi and Mingjing examinations, he had to go through the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The examination is called the elective examination.
Only by passing the selection examination can you be awarded an official position, but if you fail the civil service examination, you can only work as an aide to the official, and then fight for official quotas in the official establishment of the imperial court.
Even those who pass the Jinshi examination may not be official officials of the imperial court.
Not to mention subordinate officials.
Therefore, Bai Xiugui was unwilling to give up the opportunity to become an official official of the imperial court.
After Li Guangbi's death, he brought his family to the capital and took up the post of Sinong Shaoqing.
Zhao Ziliang said: "When I was in charge of countering the rebellion, Guangbi often reported offensive and defensive strategies to me.
You, Bai Xiugui, were mentioned in many letters.
He said that Bai Xiugui was thoughtful, diligent and self-disciplined, and active.
Count, you are a rare talent.
I was in need of counselors at the beginning, so I recruited you to use you, but you were replaced.
The imperial decree was to go to Longyou and Hexi to quell the Tibetan invasion.
I missed your talent.
It is really too unqualified for you to be the Sinong Shaoqing now.
Your strengths lie in military strategy.
If you are asked to take care of grains, wouldn't it mean that you are not allowed to do so?
Can't you use your strengths?
Now that the king is in charge, naturally I can't let your talents be buried.
How about giving you a new official position?"
Bai Xiugui said quickly: "I will obey the king's orders."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Bai Xiugui: "Let's do this.
I will give you two choices: first, to admonish the doctor on the left; second, to serve as the military envoy of the right wing of the Shence Army."
Bai Xiugui immediately began to weigh the importance of these two positions in his mind.
The Zuo Jianyi doctor was undoubtedly more promising.
After all, he was a court official and had access to the highest-level official position in the Tang Dynasty.
However, the right-wing military envoy of the Shence Army was It is a military position, and it is a forbidden military position.
Zhao Ziliang casually mentioned: "I haven't told you yet that Ju Wenzhen, the military envoy of the Shence Army, has resigned.
The king has decided to transfer the Shence Army out of the capital to Xiangyang to quell the rebellion.
Zuo Jinwuwei will be responsible for the security of the palace, so from now on the last Shence Army will be Cejun will take on the important task of conquering the rebels."
After hearing this, Bai Xiugui no longer considered the post of Zuo Jianyi doctor, and immediately said: "The minister chose the position of the right wing of the Shence Army, but the right wing of the army is not Wei Boyu, right?
Wei Chen remembered that he heard that Wei Boyu's mother died of illness a few days ago.
He wants Ding You, and the emperor is planning to appoint someone else to take his place in Jiangling."
"Don't worry about this."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and warned: "Come here tomorrow to get the military talisman and appointment documents.
After taking office in the right wing of the Shence Army, you must quickly establish a foothold and control the troops and horses.
The soldiers and horses in the right wing were some time ago However, those who refused to accept the imperial edict are all ruffians and veterans who are difficult to control.
You must be careful in everything.
I will give you ten days.
Within ten days, you must be able to fully control the troops on the right wing. , do you have confidence?”
Bai Xiugui was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, this is a bit difficult.
I don't even have a bodyguard on my hands now.

When I get to the right wing, I'm afraid those arrogant and powerful generals will not obey my orders."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "There are many arrogant soldiers in Shence's army, but if there are strong generals, I'm afraid there are really not many of them.
I will give you fifty cavalry and let you use them for three months.
Are there any other requirements for returning it after a month?”
Bai Xiugui was overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I have no other requests.
I will be able to completely control the troops and horses on the right wing within ten days."
"Okay, go back first and come back tomorrow."
"Wei Chen resigns" Shortly after Bai Xiugui left, Zhang Xiancheng, the Jiannan Dongchuan Jiedu envoy, was brought in by the guards.
Zhao Ziliang sat in the stone pavilion to receive him.
After seeing Zhao Ziliang, Zhang Xiancheng clasped his fists and saluted: "Xiaoguan Jiannan Dongchuan Jiedu envoy Zhang Xiancheng pays homage."
"Prince Regent" "Kneel down!"
Zhao Ziliang slammed the table and said angrily.
Zhang Xiancheng was so frightened by Zhao Ziliang's power that he knelt on the ground involuntarily, and quickly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, have mercy on me, I am a rough and reckless man who doesn't understand etiquette.
Please don't behave like a reckless man like me."
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "Do you think I am angry because you did not want to salute me?
You, a Dongchuan Jiedushi entrusted by the royal court, would be defeated by Ji Yu, a self-reliant Xichuan Jiedu envoy?
How come General Zhang Shougui still has the dignity to come back?
, resourceful, brave and good at fighting, and well-organized the army.
He has made great military exploits.
He has served the country as a general and You Yulin as a general.
He was given the title of the founding father of Nanyang County and made great contributions to the Kaiyuan rule that created the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
His contribution, and as his son, you can't even defeat a civil servant.
Don't you feel that you have lost the face of Zhang Gong Shougui?"
Zhang Xiancheng cried bitterly after being scolded, "Your Majesty, I am guilty and incompetent.
I am not as talented as my late father.
I have embarrassed my late father.
I am sorry for your Majesty, I am sorry for your Majesty, and I am sorry for my late father.
Please treat me."
"Sin" "Don't worry, you will never escape your sins.
I heard that when you were the governor of Dongchuan, you allowed soldiers to rob the villagers, increased taxes, and resisted the imperial decree.
I have only been away from the Central Plains for less than ten years.
The generals stationed in various places have become domineering.
Who gave you the courage to separatist kings, disobey the court's orders, withhold finance and taxes, and appoint officials without permission?"
After hearing these words, Zhang Xiancheng shouted on the spot: "The king has wronged me and said that Wei Chen is domineering and domineering.
Wei Chen admits it, but Wei Chen has never and dare not separate himself from the king, refuse to obey the court's arrangements, withhold finance and taxes, and appoint officials without permission."
I dare to use the name of my late father as a guarantee, and my loyalty to the Tang Dynasty will never change.
If I tell a lie, I will die without a burial."
"Hmph, I'm sorry you don't dare."
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly, raised his hand and said, "Get up first."
"Yes, yes" Zhao Ziliang pointed to the stone bench next to him, motioned for Zhang Xiancheng to sit down, and said: "I have no friendship with your father.
His status was too high at that time, and I couldn't reach it.
On the contrary, your uncle Zhang Shouyu was my old general.
He was in Mo Mo.
Bei often corresponds with me.
Since you are his nephew, we can be considered a family."

Zhang Xiancheng said quickly: "I've been promoted to a higher official position."
Zhao Ziliang said again: "Don't think that this matter is over and you have suffered a defeat.
No matter what the reason is, you cannot be exempted from punishment.
During this period, you will temporarily stay in the capital.
You will be dismissed from the post of Dongchuan Jiedushi and demoted."
As an envoy to the left wing of the Shence Army, I will give you three days.
You have time to rest.
After three days, go to the left wing of the Shence Army to take office.
Give me control of the troops and horses in the left wing as soon as possible.
The deputy military commander Hun Yao is a strong general.
You must make good use of him.
Although he was promoted by Guo Ziyi , but this man is commendable for his loyalty and bravery, you should not have any factional prejudice against him."
He was demoted from the post of Dongchuan Jiedushi to the left wing of the Shence Army.
This level was dropped too much.
Zhang Xiancheng didn't care about this at this time.
He was thankful to God that he could save his life.
He was not beaten to the end.
Or was beheaded, all because of his uncle Zhang Shouyu's relationship.
This time Zhao Ziliang asked him to serve as the military envoy on the left side of the Shence Army, and he immediately understood I understood what Zhao Ziliang meant.
The Shence Army was originally a force of the eunuchs.
I didn’t expect that Zhao Ziliang could seize the military power of the Shence Army.
The reputation of the King of Western Qin was indeed not blown out.
He immediately bowed down and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty." , I must take good care of the soldiers and horses in the left wing for the king, and I will never allow anyone to interfere with the soldiers and horses in the left wing, isn’t it Dou Wenchang?”
"What kind of soldier is he a eunuch?
Isn't he playing the piano randomly?
Can he lead troops?
Can he fight?
You just go and take office.
I will issue an edict later to remove him from the post and let you take over.
But can I tell you?
You, those soldiers of the Shence Army None of them have any ability, but they are all rebellious.
If you want to subdue them and make them obey orders, you have to use your brain more.
Otherwise, if you don't control the troops on the left side, but are beaten by them, then you are really So unlucky” Zhang Xiancheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have plenty of ways to deal with those naughty soldiers in the Shence Army."
Then Zhang Xiancheng left, while Zhao Ziliang was still sitting in the pavilion drinking hot tea.
Luo Yuanguang, the governor of the Zhenguo Army, walked in under the leadership of Shiwei.
Luo Yuanguang was a Parthian.
His father came to Chang'an to do business, so he stayed in Chang'an.
Later, he was adopted by the eunuch Luo Fengxian as his adopted son.
Luo Yuanguang was tall and burly, with a beautiful beard and beard.
One look at his eyes , you know that this person is not a reckless person, but a brave and resourceful person.
"Luo Yuanguang meets with His Highness the Regent" Zhao Ziliang looked at Luo Yuanguang and asked, "I heard that Luo Fengxian is your adoptive father."
Luo Yuanguang answered unabashedly: "Yes" Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Tell me about the situation of the Zhenguo Army."
"The Zhenguo Army has been expanded twice and now has 16,000 people, including 3,000 horse troops and the rest are infantry.
Because Chang'an was robbed several times, the court was in short supply of weapons and armor.
The entire army had weapons, armor, etc.

Only 60% of the equipment is considered complete, and the others either lack weapons or armor."
Zhao Ziliang said: "The Zhenguo Army had merit when Fengtian protected him last time.
From this, it can be seen that the Zhenguo Army has combat effectiveness.
Now that Xiangyang is besieged, it is impossible to mobilize enough troops and horses from the surrounding areas.
The court can only draw troops from the areas around Chang'an."
We have dispatched troops and horses to reinforce.
I have decided to send the Zhenguo Army south to reinforce Xiangyang and lift the siege of Xiangyang.
What do you think?"
Luo Yuanguang clasped his fists and agreed: "Since the king has military orders, the general will obey them."
Zhao Ziliang nodded in approval: "Well, your adoptive father Luo Fengxian, I actually dislike him very much, but I will not implicate you just because I dislike him.
I don't care whose adopted son you are, you As long as you are willing to serve the Tang Dynasty and obey my king's orders, fame, fortune, glory and wealth will be just around the corner
