Next, Zhao Ziliang met with several people he liked separately and talked with them separately, but for these people, he did not solicit them on the spot, whether to use them or not, how to use them, still need to think about one or two.

Just after the hour, Bai Xiaode came to report and said: "General, everyone is almost here!" ”

"Okay, let the shopkeeper tell the kitchen to open the table!" Zhao Ziliang got up and walked out of the private room as he spoke.

The generals and officials had already sat at every table under Bai Xiaode's arrangement, basically the high-ranking generals and officials sat together, and the high-ranking generals and officials sat together.

The shopkeeper led some shopkeepers to send the wine and food to each table, the wine and food did not have the delicacies of the mountains and seas, they were all some home-cooked dishes, and the wine was enough, rice and steamed buns were enough, which was also due to the cancellation of the alcohol ban some time ago, otherwise even the wine could not be drunk.

After the wine and food were served, Zhao Ziliang picked up the wine glass and first said to Chen Xuanli, and then to the other generals and officials, "General Chen, colleagues, come and come, Zhao will give you a glass, I hope that we can take care of each other when we work together in the future, please bear with me if there is anything offended!" ”

At first, they all thought that Zhao Ziliang was young and should lack some experience in dealing with people, but they didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to be so sophisticated, even some old oilmen in the officialdom may not be able to say such things.

Officials and generals said: "It should be, it should be, and it should be mutually inclusive."

This banquet was eaten for an hour, and when it was about to reach the hour, the banquet dispersed, and it was not okay if it was not dispersed, and there would be a curfew in about two quarters of an hour, in fact, Zhao Ziliang felt that the curfew was too early, and now in the summer, it was still early before it got dark at five o'clock in the afternoon, but there was no way. That's what the curfew system says.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ziliang came to the Zuo Jian Guard's Mansion, and immediately summoned the four Zhonglang generals, Chang Shi, Bing Cao Shen Military, Xuan Cao Shen Military, one recorder, two Shi people, two pavilion chiefs, and Zhanggu all came to the front hall to discuss matters, and Gong Ren and Chen Qing, who were notified, also rushed over.

After Zhao Ziliang walked out from behind the screen in the front hall, all the officials and generals stood up and bowed: "See the general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang took off the waist knife and put it on the desk, and pressed his hand: "It's all polite, please sit!" ”

"Thank you, General!" The crowd saluted again and knelt down.

Zhao Ziliang looked at the officials and generals on the left and right and said with a smile: "People often say that new officials take office with three fires. When General Ben takes office, I am afraid that these three fires must also be burned, otherwise I will be sorry for the appreciation and trust of His Majesty the Emperor. According to the division of labor between a certain and General Chen Xuanli, he was in charge of the guards and door registration affairs of the outer city wall of the capital, while General Ben was in charge of the guards and door registration affairs of the palace city and the imperial city gate. In addition, the general received His Majesty's decree to set up a supervisor Cao to supervise the implementation of the gate registration system at all the gates of the left prison guard, the military discipline of the generals and soldiers under him, and the drills of the guards and guards at each city gate. General Ben has already made a decision, he is the general Gong Ren of Gui Delang, come, Gong Ren stands up and lets everyone know you! ”

Gong Ren, who was wearing armor and a helmet, got up with the handle of the knife and walked to the middle and saluted Zhao Ziliang first. Then he arched his hand to the other generals, captains, and officials, and said, "In Xia Gongren, I have seen you!" ”

After Gong Ren returned to the case and sat down, Zhao Ziliang continued: "Jian Cao is about to be built. His Majesty has decreed that the soldiers needed by the superintendent Cao will be drawn from among the soldiers under the command of Zuo Ling Zhonglang General's Mansion, and thirty men will be drawn from each Zhonglang General's command. What the general meant was to divide the 120 men into twenty-four squads, including the squad leader, with five people per squad, and each squad was responsible for inspecting two or three, four gates! These twenty-four squads are all personally commanded by Gong Ren, and the long history, records, and palms you need under your command are to be found by yourself, but they must be people with meritorious names or military ranks, and they can only be hired after the approval of the general. Gong Ren, this general will give you ten days to prepare for the construction of the prison Cao, and there are three rooms in the palace, all of which will be used as office space for your prison Cao! Gong Ren, are you confident that you will be able to establish the prison within ten days? ”

Gong Ren got up and arched his hand: "Yes, general, the last general is confident!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang nodded, and said to the others: "Everyone, you have to pay attention and be careful next, once the prison Cao is established, its duty is to supervise the prison captains, guards, and janitorial guards of the palace and imperial cities under your jurisdiction, as well as the city gate captains and soldiers who are responsible for the outer city gates, once the prison captains and soldiers under your command violate the access control system, do not strictly enforce the door registration system, deliberately release water, passively sabotage, violate military discipline and drill slackness, laziness and other situations, Gong Ren and his people will appear, And arrest them. There are many kinds of punishments, the punishment for soldiers is related to confinement, beating with military sticks, confiscating military salaries, etc., and the punishment for soldiers and captains is related to confinement, beating military sticks, dismissal, etc.! And you people also have the responsibility of poor leadership, it is inevitable to be implicated, or report to the whole government for reprimand, or directly dismiss, if you don't want to be punished, then please take care of your subordinate prison captains, soldiers, colleagues, I don't want to see you locked up, beaten with military sticks, dismissed, etc., so General Ben is here to give you a briefing, I hope you will pay close attention to it, don't take General Ben's words as a deaf ear, General Ben doesn't care who among you has any strong backers, Even if you are a relative of the emperor, as long as you work under the command of this general, you have to be honest with me, if some of your prison captains and soldiers are really caught by the prison Cao, I will not give you a chance to go through the back door, and I will not open up to you, and you should not hate General Ben at that time, because General Ben has already saluted you before the soldiers! Is it all clear? ”

The officials and generals on the left and right sides were nervous, they saw Zhao Ziliang's face was serious, and his tone was categorical, they knew that this matter was only true, and it seemed that they would have to take good care of the group of prison captains below in the future, so everyone stood up and agreed: "It's all clear, general!" ”

"Okay, please sit down, this general will introduce you to another person, Chen Qing, come, stand up, let you know you!" Zhao Ziliang looked at Chen Qing as he spoke, pointing to the middle of the hall.

When Chen Qing heard this, he immediately got up and walked to the middle, Zhao Ziliang said: "I believe that many of you know him, his name is Chen Qing, this general has appointed him as a record to participate in the military, as for the Chongxuanmen he was in charge of before, General Li Guangting, you can find another supervisor lieutenant for Chongxuanmen to temporarily act as an agent, for a period of three months, if Chen Qing can be qualified to record and participate in the military, then let him continue to do this record and participate in the military, and the new lieutenant of the Chongxuanmen prison can also be regularized, if he does not do a good job of recording and participating in the military, Then let him go back and continue to be his prison captain! ”

Li Guangting looked at Chen Qing and arched his hand to Zhao Ziliang: "Yes, general!" ”

Everyone looked at Gong Ren and Chen Qing with envy, thinking how could these two people have such good luck, why were they taken a fancy to Zhao Ziliang?

After more than ten days of contact and understanding, Zhao Ziliang also understood the operation of the left prison guard's office, and during this time, Gong Ren's prison Cao was also prepared and officially put into operation, and began to supervise the prison captains, guards, and guards of the various city gates, palace gates and imperial gates in the capital.

How did he know that there was a problem when the supervisor Cao first started to operate for two days, and the newly appointed military officer Li Qing hurriedly walked into the lobby with a solemn face and reported to Zhao Ziliang, who was sitting behind the desk to deal with official business: "General, something happened!" Liang Chao, the captain of the Tonghua Gate Supervisor, led his soldiers to fight with the soldiers of the fifth squad of the inspection under the supervision of Jian Cao! General Gong Ren, who was inspecting the gates of the city, had already rushed over with his people, and the follow-up situation was not yet known."

Zhao Ziliang frowned when he heard this, it seems that the captains and soldiers of the prison gate under the left prison guard really have a lot of problems, if they want to thoroughly implement the door registration system in a short period of time, they must use heavy canons, and they must not be tolerated, the problem now is that the accident is Tonghua Gate, Tonghua Gate is the gate of the capital, in the south of Chang'an City, it belongs to the jurisdiction of Chen Xuanli, and the appointment and dismissal of personnel also belongs to Chen Xuanli, to solve this matter, it is necessary to communicate with Chen Xuanli.

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and instructed Chen Qing: "You go to see the situation in person, tell Gong Ren that you must control the development of the situation, and you must not let the situation expand and get out of control, after all, this is an internal matter of our left prison guards, and we can't let other people from the Su Guard Mansion see our jokes, what is the specific situation, you come back and report to me immediately!" ”

"No, my men will go immediately!"

Seeing that Chen Qing hurried away, Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and then continued to deal with official business. After about half an hour, Chen Qing ran in panting and said: "General, the big thing is not good, the situation is out of control, Liang Chao, the captain of the Tonghua Gate Prison Gate, led his subordinates to fight with the men and horses led by General Gong Ren, there are many injured on both sides, the Tonghua Gate area is chaotic, and the people are terrified ・・・・・・."

With a "huh", Zhao Ziliang stood up and immediately walked out quickly, saying to Chen Qing as he walked: "Go and inform General Chen Xuanli, I will wait for him at the gate of the mansion!" ”

"No!"

Zhao Ziliang took Bai Xiaode and others to wait for less than a minute at the gate of the palace on a war horse, and Chen Xuanli also ran over on horseback with a few servants.

Chen Xuanli also felt that the situation was serious, and said to Zhao Ziliang: "General Zhao, Lord Chen has already told him briefly, the specific situation can only be known after getting the Tonghua Gate, without further ado, I will rush over first, calm down the incident and then deal with it, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded: "Yes, let's go!" (To be continued.) )
