Faced with Zhao Ziliang's strong rectification of officialdom and his unexpected appointment of Li Mian as Jing Zhaoyin, not only the prime ministers began to restrain officials from making money, but also the princelings, under Li Shi's order, began to discipline officials to curb corruption.
Of After the fall of Ju Wenzhen, the members of the Eunuch Party followed Luo Fengxian's lead.
However, most of the forces of the Eunuch Party have now been expelled from the court, and they can only continue to show off their power in the palace and royal industry.
The fall of Ju Wenzhen made the members of the eunuch party know that Zhao Ziliang is not to be messed with.
If you mess with him, he will torture you to death.
In order to save their lives, the eunuchs can only stay in the palace and dare not come out, for fear of being attacked by Zhao Ziliang again.
But the Ju Wenzhen case is not over yet.
The joint trial of the three agencies has not yet begun, and it is not known how many people will be implicated this time.
Luo Fengxian was always beating a drum in his heart at this time.
He didn't know how many people would be killed when Ju Wenzhen was tried, but if Ju Wenzhen really couldn't handle it, the eunuchs would be completely destroyed.
In the past few days, he tried to send people to Heavenly Prison, but was blocked every time.
It turns out that Heavenly Prison The prison now has new regulations.
Except for the relevant law enforcement agencies, no one else is allowed to visit the prisoners.
This makes it impossible for people in the eunuch party to do anything to Ju Wenzhen.
Luo Fengxian and other members of the eunuch party can only You can't spend the whole day in panic.
The next day, Zhao Ziliang got up very early.
After morning exercises, he had breakfast and brought everyone from the palace to the imperial city.
At this time, many military lieutenant generals had arrived in the imperial city one after another.
Zhao Ziliang saw many military lieutenant generals coming to the imperial city.
They gathered near the offices of the various government offices and chatted, so they told Xuan Jiu: "Send the order and ask them to gather under the Chengtianmen Gate."
"Yes" Xuan Jiu agreed and immediately took someone to inform him.
After entering the Zhuque Gate in the imperial city, there is the office area of the imperial government offices.
It is indeed detrimental to the offices of the imperial government offices to be blocked by these military lieutenant generals.
And this time, the military commander Zhaowu and other generals and above came to participate in the military meeting.
There are thousands of people, and only the downstairs of Chengtianmen City can accommodate them, and it will not affect the offices of various government offices.
Zhao Ziliang led everyone from the palace to the Chengtian Gate Tower and looked down at the entire Taiji Palace.
The back of the Chengtian Gate was called the Inner Dynasty, and the imperial city in front was called the Outer Dynasty.
Standing on the tower of Chengtian Gate, you can see the entire Taiji Palace and the Imperial City clearly.
After receiving the notice, the military lieutenants and generals came to the gate of Chengtian Gate one after another.
When these people saw someone on the gate, they knew that it was a big shot, so they all changed their previous chatting state.
Even if they wanted to speak, they would whisper.
Dare to be loud.
Zhao Ziliang told Xuan Jiu: "Send someone to wait below.
If Chen Xuanli comes later, ask him to come up to the tower."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Soon, a soldier came up with Chen Xuanli, who was already full of silver hair but still strong.
"Old minister, I pay my respects to the king."
Zhao Ziliang stepped forward to greet him: "The fact that General Chen is here means that you have thought carefully about it last night."
Chen Xuanli clasped his fists and said: "Yes, the old minister is still worthy of the king's respect at this age.
It seems that the old minister is still of some use in the eyes of the king.
In this case, the old minister will come out to spread the residual heat."
"Okay, okay, this will help General Chen.
In the future, all the training of the guards and horses in the court will be handed over to General Chen.
I now officially appoint General Chen as the chief training officer of the guards and horses in the capital.
He will also participate in the restructuring of the army.
If you have any suggestions, you can make them to the king in person or write a memorial and submit it to the Prince Regent's Palace."

Chen Xuanli immediately bowed and bowed: "Old minister, take your orders."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Come here, bring the appointment documents, official seal, robe and sword."
Chen Xuanli asked the two accompanying soldiers to collect their things and retreated behind Zhao Ziliang.
Du Fu looked at the time, raised his hands to Zhao Ziliang and reported: "Your Majesty, the hour has arrived."
Zhao Ziliang waved his head to Ma Sui and ordered: "Go and ask the generals to assemble in formation, from left to right and from front to back.
Those with higher military ranks should stand on the left and in front, and those with lower military ranks should stand on the right and behind.
Then count the number of people and see who else is there.
If you haven’t come, from now on, anyone who hasn’t arrived will be considered late.
If they come, let them stand aside and not be allowed to enter.”
"promise" Ma Sui immediately led his people down to start forming the team.
Most of the time, the generals ordered others to form a formation, but today they were ordered to form a formation.
It was really uncomfortable for a while, but Ma Sui was obviously an expert at giving orders. , through some simple commands, three times, five, and two divided by two, all the generals and colonels lined up.
Of course, there was inevitably a lot of curses in the process.
Some generals and colonels turned red after being scolded, but they did not dare to refute.
Although Zhao Ziliang asked Du Fu to pass the order and stated that military law would be used against latecomers, five generals were still late and they were blocked from the queue.
After Ma Sui completed the formation of the team, he reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, all the troops in Chang'an There are a total of 974 generals at Zhaowu level and above.
They are all here.
Five of them are late.
Please give me a lecture."
Zhao Ziliang shouted: "Let everyone take a break."
"yes" After taking a break, Ma Sui stepped aside.
Zhao Ziliang took a few steps forward and walked to the guardrail of the city tower, waving to the latecomers and asking them to come over.
"When I sent someone to notify you yesterday, I told you that Chenshi was here to discuss matters and that you were not allowed to be late.
However, you are still late.
Could it be that my words have no effect on you?"
The five people bowed down quickly, and one of them hurriedly explained: "The general could have arrived at the stipulated time, but he didn't see anyone recently, so he could only look around, so he was a little late."
Zhao Ziliang said angrily: "You just came here with a pinch of salt, couldn't you have come earlier?
This shows that you don't pay attention to it at all.
If you paid attention to it, you would have arrived early.
I don't care what reason you have for being late, but punishment is inevitable.
Now the five of you run out from here to Mingdemen Return to the Suzaku Gate again, and rest when you finish.
You are not allowed to take off your armor, throw away anything on your body, or stop during the journey.
If I let you know that you are lazy and slippery, I will let you know what regret is. , after running away, go to the Regent’s Palace and wait for the summons.”
These five generals could only turn around and run out of the imperial city with their heads hanging.
Since they were all wearing heavy armor and carrying swords, these weights were not light, and the distance from Chengtian Gate to Mingde Gate was not close.
One round trip would not be enough.
It's more than twenty miles.
After this trip, if you don't train regularly, you may collapse or even die.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the nearly a thousand generals below and was filled with emotion.
These are all the generals currently under the direct control of the imperial court, but there are not many who can really use them.
Among them, the real leaders are the ones who actually lead the troops.
There are only a few, and most of them have no actual military power and either do civilian work or hold false posts.
"I have brought you here today for no other reason than others.
Maybe some people have already guessed that, yes, since the rectification of officialdom has begun in the officialdom, it is also necessary to take action in the army.
How to take action?

There are three main aspects.
The first is to reform the army. system, the second is to reorganize training, and the third is to improve military discipline.”
"Many of you have served under me in the past, and you are all capable of serving as generals under me.
I can be proud to say that if the generals who served under me go to other armies, , you can at least be promoted to two levels of office, but now you have disappointed me.
Chang'an has been captured by the rebels several times, but you have done nothing.
What are you doing?"
"The army cannot continue like this and must make changes to the current situation.
The reform of the military system mainly includes re-defining the rights of generals such as chief generals, deputy generals, and marching commanders.
Among them, the rights of chief generals in certain aspects must be restricted, otherwise Your Lord will rebel if he wants to, remember The army must be raised, and there is another aspect of reforming the military system.
After my inspection and investigation, I will conduct a disarmament of lieutenant generals, officers and soldiers.
The objects to be disbanded are mainly the old, weak, sick and disabled, and those with lax military discipline.
People, generals with mixed qualifications in the military and no level of military command.”
"After disarmament, the remaining troops will be reorganized and drilled.
The reorganization will be carried out by officials and generals sent by the Ministry of War.
The king will send relevant officials from the Regent's Palace to supervise.
If you have any questions, you can always report to the supervisor official At the same time as the army is being reorganized, the Ministry of War will also conduct a competency assessment on the existing generals and lieutenants in order to be reassigned to military positions.
If they do not participate in the assessment, they will automatically give up their qualifications to serve as actual leading generals this time.
During the assessment, qualifications and origin Background will not be the only and important condition.
That is to say, no matter how noble your background is, how long you have been in the military, or how rich your experience is, it cannot be a condition for you to hold an important military position.
The official responsible for the assessment will first examine your Loyalty, this is the prerequisite For those who are not loyal to the Tang Dynasty and have no sense of belonging and identity, no matter how talented you are, you will not be reused; the second is the assessment of talent, and the last is qualifications, and birth will no longer be a condition for assessment, civilians.
Birth and noble birth will be treated equally.”
"I will focus here on the assessment of talent, which mainly assesses three aspects: first, marching and troop formation, then martial arts, archery and horse riding, and finally, command on the battlefield.
Regarding the specific content of these three assessments, we will briefly discuss The Ministry of War will send people to all military and military guards to post the specific assessment content and methods."
"The last thing I'm talking about is the improvement of military discipline.
Anyone who is familiar with military matters knows that the quality of military discipline is an extremely important indicator for measuring the combat effectiveness of an army.
I heard that some generals in the army are arrogant and favored.
Credit is not taken seriously by anyone.
Some people even turn their backs to the emperor and talk and laugh with the ministers when they go to court.
Others ignore etiquette when they go to court.
When they are tired from standing, they sit on the ground without any image
