Li Longji was about to shout to disperse the court, but Zhao Ziliang stood up again and saluted: "Zhao Ziliang, the general of the minister's left prison gate, has something to play!"

Not only the ministers, but even Li Longji was stunned, saying that you, a general of the left prison guard, have any major national events to start? However, since Zhao Ziliang stood up, Li Longji also wanted to hear what he had to do, so he raised his hand and said, "Quasi-play!" ”

I saw Zhao Ziliang and said: "The minister suggested that some relevant provisions of the door registration system and the curfew system be revised 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 street, but they can still move freely in the streets, and the main ones responsible for the night patrol of Chang'an Sixth Street are the left and right Jin Wuwei, but the left and right Jin Wuwei and the left and right prison guards are the emperor's personal soldiers, and they are interdependent, and if there is no implementation of the door registration system, the curfew system cannot be implemented, and it is the same anyway.

Li Longji was a little surprised and asked, "Oh? What do you suggest? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that the opening and closing times of the Guocheng Gate, the Imperial City Gate, and the Palace Gate outside Chang'an be delayed by one hour, and the start time of the daily curfew should also be postponed by one hour. Half an hour later in summer and autumn, and half an hour earlier in winter and spring".

Zhao Ziliang's suggestion was immediately opposed by some courtiers, and one of them stood up against Zhao Ziliang: "The time when the city gate opens and closes and the curfew starts is determined by many people after years of research and calculation, how can it be said that it will be changed?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Dare to ask this adult, why do you want to implement the door registration system and the curfew system?" ”

The official snorted coldly: "The most important thing is, of course, for safety, and secondly, this is also in line with the living habits of the people!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ziliang saluted Li Longji and said, "Your Majesty, please ask Rong Chen to refute this lord's words!" ”

"Accurate!" Li Longji was a little excited, he really wanted to see how Zhao Ziliang could refute these two reasons.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhao Ziliang agreed, and immediately said: "The implementation of the door registration system and the curfew system can indeed play a role in protecting the safety of the people, officials, Your Majesty and members of the royal family in Chang'an. There's no doubt about it, but a delay of an hour won't compromise it. If it was during the reign of Gaozu and Taizong, the time stipulated by the door registration system and the curfew system was indeed very good, but now it is a little uncomfortable, and some modifications must be made, why? At that time, my dynasty had just been established, the society was not very stable, the output was not very rich, and the people were running for a living, and they also had the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. But now it's different, now my Datang is under the leadership and governance of His Majesty, the country is safe and secure, and the products are abundant, and the people in the past may not even be able to eat a meal of white noodles a year, but now the people have white noodles to eat every day, and they can also eat meat every three or five times, and the material life is rich, and the people have to seek a spiritual life!

For example, if your colleagues don't even have enough to eat. Do you still have the heart to listen to songs and dances every day? It is precisely because I have eaten and drunk enough that I have the heart to listen to a little song and watch the beautiful women dance, since all adults have this need. The people are naturally no exception, the adults can enjoy these spiritual lives, but the people cannot, don't the people complain?

Delay the opening and closing of the gates and the curfew by an hour. The purpose is to allow people to go out to the night market after a tiring day, buy and sell things, and go to the teahouse to listen to the storyteller. Go to the restaurant to drink two cups to relieve fatigue, and let wealthy businessmen and officials with financial resources go to Qinglou and brothels for recreation and recreation, and relieve their psychological pressure.

This has the added benefit of speeding up the circulation of private money! Wealthy merchants, officials, and landlords have money, and there is no place and time for recreation, so their money is buried in the ground and moldy, which is not good for the imperial court, and only by letting the money circulate quickly can the finances of the imperial court be relieved! The minister is finished."

Zhao Ziliang retreated, Li Longji looked at the ministers and asked, "What do you Aiqing think of what General Zhao played?" ”

In fact, most officials are in favor of it from the bottom of their hearts, but because they are embarrassed to say it, only those old stubborn and corrupt people oppose it.

After most of the courtiers agreed, Li Longji followed the trend: "Okay, since you all think that such a revision is very good, then implement it accordingly!" Retreat from the Dynasty"

Colliers shouted: "Retreat-to--"

After the dispersal of the court, Zhao Ziliang broke out in a cold sweat on his vest, this court was too dangerous, and he was used as chess pieces and cannon fodder by some people if he was not careful, until he returned home, Zhao Ziliang still had palpitations.

Zhao Ziliang knew very well that as long as he was still in the position of the general of the left prison guard for one day, Li Linfu and other forces in the DPRK and China would not stop attacking or co-opting him, and the only way to not fall was to stick close to the emperor, not to be pretentious to any other forces, not to have too deep contacts with any other forces, and at the same time to be strict with himself, not to let himself have a handle to be caught by others, so that some people could not find an excuse to attack him.

And in order to fight these people who want to deal with him, he must also act, first of all, he must firmly grasp the military power in his hands, and controlling the army under the guards of the left prison is equivalent to controlling the gateway in and out of Chang'an City.

How can you be sure that you have absolute command over the armies of your subordinates? It depends on the implementation of the military orders issued by oneself among the subordinate generals, if any military order issued by a general can be carried out by the subordinates without hesitation, it means that the military power is in hand! If a subordinate general hesitates after receiving a military order, it means that the general's grasp of military power is not enough.

So how do you grasp the military power in your hands and hold it firmly? Zhao Ziliang summed up several experiences by himself, first, buying people's hearts; second, let the henchmen be appointed; Third, strict military discipline. In fact, the rectification of military regulations and military discipline is the most important means to grasp military power, once a military order is issued, if someone does not listen to the order and stops, this is a violation of military regulations and military discipline, and it is necessary to kill chickens and monkeys to set an example! In the long run, fewer and fewer people will defy the law, and the enforcement of military orders will be thoroughly enforced, and military power will be in the hands of the people.

Of course, there is more than one means of controlling military power, and thought control is the most powerful one, but people in this era will not use it. Of course, Zhao Ziliang will have this kind of control means, and the army controlled by this means must have a military soul, and this military soul is faith, and the army he has trained and commanded already has a military soul, which is why he can command the army every time he is able to command and be handy.

For the army under the left prison guard, Zhao Ziliang has a bottom in his conscience, he can control at least half of the army, and the other half is of course under the control of Chen Xuanli, but if there is really anything, Zhao Ziliang is confident that he can control more than seventy percent, after all, he controls the law enforcement department that supervises military discipline - Jian Cao.

In the left prison guard, Zhao Ziliang knew that the number of troops he could control could only be to this extent, if he wanted to master more troops, it would be equivalent to snatching military power from Chen Xuanli, which would definitely be at odds with Chen Xuanli, which was unnecessary.

Back at the mansion, a maid brought gruel, bread and pickles and said, "Sir, it's time for breakfast!" ”

"Oh good! Put it here! ”

Zhao Ziliang picked up the dough and ate it with pickles, and after just a few bites, he remembered the female assassin who was locked in the cellar, and thought about it, picking up the tray with the food and walking to the backyard.

Coming to the door of a firewood room, the two guards immediately saluted: "General! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "What happened to the female assassin in the cellar?" Bai Xiaode invited the army to Langzhong, have you seen it? ”

Hu Cong on the left said: "Lang Zhong has come over, saying that the female assassin's viscera has been hit hard, fortunately the person who did it is merciful, it is not very serious, Lang Zhong prescribed a dose of decoction, saying that he can go to the ground after taking it for half a month, and he will be cured after taking it for a month."

Zhao Ziliang nodded: "Well, open the door!" ”

"No!"

After the door of the cellar was opened, Zhao Ziliang walked down the cellar with a tray, there was an oil lamp lit in the cellar, and there were windows on the ground, the light and air were not bad, very dry, and some of the jars and jars containing pickles in the cellar were moved, and now there was a wooden bed, and a woman in black was lying on the wooden bed.

As if hearing the movement, the woman in black lying on the bed was very vigilant, and immediately seemed to get up, but she didn't want a sharp pain in her abdomen to frustrate her plan, so she had to lie down decadently.

Zhao Ziliang glanced at Nie Sanniang, and while putting the food on the small table next to him, he asked, "Is it better?" ”

Nie Sanniang said coldly: "My Nie Sanniang fell into your hands today is fate that should be like this, if you want to kill, kill it, don't pretend, if you want to know anything from my mouth, it's a dream!" I don't eat this set! ”

Yo, the pepper is really spicy! Zhao Ziliang's heart was hooked with a different kind of thought, 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, you see that you are so beautiful, what a pity to die, so let's marry me as a wife, and the matter of killing me will be written off, what do you think?" ”

"I thought it would be a pity to kill a frontier general like you, but I didn't expect you to be a prodigal disciple, and you can think of it!"

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and smiled: "Everyone has a love for beauty, what man in the world doesn't like beautiful women?" If men don't like beautiful women anymore, then what's the use of you women being born so beautiful? It's better to grow into ugly monsters, when the time comes, all men's wives will be ugly, and there will be no more fights for beauties, how good would it be? ”

"It's just nonsense, nonsense!" Nie Sanniang was almost amused to laugh, and in order to cover up, she immediately twisted her head to the side. (To be continued.) )
