Early the next morning, Zhao Ziliang took Bai Xiaode and other cadres to come to the Left Prison Guard's Mansion in armor to take up his post, preparing to prepare a supervision department exclusive to the Left Prison Guard-Bing Cao Jian, which is a brand-new department, which has never been seen in the Sixteen Guards.

"Hahaha, congratulations, Chen led the generals and officials of the guard to welcome General Zhao to take office!" Chen Xuanli led a group of generals, captains and officials to laugh at Zhao Ziliang, who was dismounting, at the door of the left prison guard's office.

On the one hand, they wanted to be familiar with Zhao Ziliang and have a good relationship, on the other hand, they naturally wanted to take refuge, but unfortunately the city gate was closed after dark, and most of these generals and officials lived in the city, but the people who lived outside the city were rejected by Zhao Ziliang on the grounds that it was inconvenient to see guests late at night, so Zhao Ziliang was not easy to deal with. I was afraid that the news of being difficult to get along with soon spread all over the left prison guard's office.

Chen Xuanli is Li Longji's cronies, when he killed Empress Wei and Princess Anle, as a member of the forbidden army, he was one of the main heroes, but his grade was not high at that time, and after so many years, he finally climbed to the rank of general of the left prison guard. In this place in the capital, the military generals have no chance of meritorious service, and if they want to be promoted, in addition to winning the emperor's favor, they mainly rely on their qualifications, unless they succeed in the coup d'état, and they are still the main heroes, and they can ascend to the sky in one step. This is different from the side generals, as long as the side generals are willing to work hard, can fight and win, it is easy to be promoted, such as Fumeng Lingcha, Wang Zhongsi, Huangfu Weiming, Zhao Ziliang, Gao Xianzhi, how fast and how fast they are promoted.

Zhao Ziliang smiled and bowed back: "General Chen is polite, polite!" I'm sorry to wait here for a long time! ”

"Where, where!" All the generals and officials said one after another, especially the generals and officials who were subordinate to Zhao Ziliang's upcoming Ling Zhonglang General's Mansion, Zhao Ziliang was their direct boss. It is normal to curry favor with him, as for the generals and officials under Chen Xuanli's jurisdiction, there are also many people who make a big deal of trouble with Zhao Ziliang, there is no way, they got the news that Zhao Ziliang received the emperor's will to establish a new yamen in the left prison guard, this yamen is in charge of supervision, and all the generals, captains and soldiers of the city gate under the jurisdiction of the left prison guard are under his supervision.

On the surface, Chen Xuanli and Zhao Ziliang have the same job level, and they are each responsible for work, and their status seems to be similar. But in fact, Zhao Ziliang is a little higher than Chen Xuanli, at least his power is much greater, he is not only in charge of the palace gate, the imperial city gate guards and the affairs of the gate, but also in charge of the implementation of the door registration system, military discipline and drill matters supervised by the guards, captains and soldiers of the city gate under Chen Xuanli's jurisdiction.

Everyone greeted each other at the door of the mansion for a while before entering the mansion together, Zhao Ziliang and Chen Xuanli each had their own office place, Zhao Ziliang's class room was in the east, and Chen Xuanli's class room was in the west. Although the lobby where Zhao Ziliang is currently sitting has been vacant, there are still subordinate officials on duty, so it has to be cleaned every day. Everything is readily available, and Zhao Ziliang can directly start handling business as soon as he arrives.

At the invitation of Zhao Ziliang, Chen Xuanli and the generals and officials who greeted him outside the door just now all came to the front hall where he was handling official affairs and sat down, and Zhao Ziliang sat on the main seat. Chen Xuanli sat next to him, and the others sat on both sides, and soon the subordinate officials brought tea for everyone to enjoy.

At the beginning, Zhao Ziliang did not have a chair for Sheng Tang, only a Hu bed with a backrest. It feels very unaccustomed to sitting on all knees, but I have gradually gotten used to it after a long time. After everyone sat down, they drank tea and introduced each other and got to know each other.

We talked for about an hour. Zhao Ziliang said: "I talked with you a lot today, and I also have some understanding of you and the left prison guard's mansion. General Chen, ask for a personal favor with you, the government will stop working from work from time to time, let all colleagues relax and relax, and go to the Zuixian Tower together, how about it? ”

Everyone present didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to invite everyone to drink on the first day of his tenure, and they all smiled, muttering in their hearts, it seems that this Zhao Ziliang is not very difficult to deal with.

Although Chen Xuanli looked down on him because Zhao Ziliang was young, Zhao Ziliang said that he wanted to invite guests to eat and drink, and discussed with him to let his subordinates leave work early, of course he would not disagree, and immediately smiled: "Originally, according to the rules of the government, you can't take a break in advance, but today General Zhao is newly appointed and intends to entertain you, so I will make an exception, and then sit on your unfinished work to go to Zuixian Tower together, and strive to finish and go home before the curfew at dusk."

Zhao Ziliang has never understood why the curfew in Chang'an City began at about half past five in the afternoon, until he inquired, he only knew that people in this era basically only ate two meals a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and did not eat at noon, and dinner started at four o'clock in the afternoon, and the curfew was implemented just after returning home after eating.

After everyone dispersed, Zhao Ziliang said to Wang Can: "I want to see the qualifications and background files of all the generals/officials in the Health Department, you go and transfer them!" ”

"No!"

Wang Can soon came over with a large number of case files, Zhao Ziliang immediately began to read these case files, how did he come out, he was not familiar with the generals and officials of the government office, if he wanted to do things and do things beautifully, he must use people, use talented and trustworthy people, this is one of the purposes of Zhao Ziliang to look at the personnel files of all the generals and officials of the government office, but it is not enough to just look at the case files, but also to actually contact and understand, and then inquire from others.

I watched it for a whole morning, there was no food in the government at noon, Zhao Ziliang was used to eating three meals a day, and it was when he was young and strong, he was hungry and panicked if he ate less, but he had already prepared, and at noon, Bai Xiaode took out a bag of white flour meat buns, some braised meat, roast chicken, and ate a beautiful meal, and continued to read the file in the afternoon.

"Hey, this guy is kind of interesting!" Zhao Ziliang looked at the comments recorded in the personnel file on a file, and saw that the comment column read: "This person is strong in martial arts, but he is not good at words, has an arrogant personality, and is difficult to get along with colleagues."

Look at it again, this person's name is Gong Ren (Long Tao), Gui Delang General, the same rank as the guerrilla general, the ancestor has some relationship with Xue Rengui, Gong Ren is now a cavalry subordinate to the left prison guard, and is in charge of all cavalry-related affairs under the left prison guard.

Zhao Ziliang used a brush to record this person, he had recorded four people, and then continued to look down, and soon saw a captain named Chen Qing, this person has no background, is an orphan, but in the evaluation column, it is written that the martial arts are strong, lively, and the comments are written before the previous general of the left prison guard left, excluding deliberateness, these comments should be very pertinent, as for whether it is as written in the case file, it is necessary to make actual contact.

Zhao Ziliang's Zuo Ling Zhonglang General's Mansion has four Zhonglang generals in charge of the palace city, the imperial city gate of the guards and the door affairs, these four Zhonglang will be on duty in twos and twos, they are called Li Guangting, Xu Tu, Gu Shan, Qu Yingfeng, among these four people, Li Guangting's background is deeper, he is Li Ji's descendant, and the other three have average backgrounds.

Zhao Ziliang handed him the paper that Bai Xiaode had brought in and recorded several names, and instructed: "You go and find these people, let them go to the Drunken Immortal Building together from time to time, and tell them that no matter what the reason, they can't be absent, they are not allowed to bring gifts, and I won't accept them if they bring them."

"No!" Bai Xiaode agreed, took the paper with the name recorded and turned away.

Just after noon, Zhao Ziliang came to the Zuixian Building with a few servants, as one of the two main principals of the left prison guard, he only needs to report in the duty room to enter and exit the government office freely, and he does not need to be like others who have to order and stay in the government office to sit on duty and wait for the time to get off work before he can get off work.

Due to the large number of people who were going to the banquet in the palace, Zhao Ziliang directly reported to the second floor of the Zuixian Building and asked the shopkeeper to tell the kitchen to prepare the wine and food quickly.

Before the time came, soon there were generals and officials coming, Zhao Ziliang asked Bai Xiaode to arrange seats for them, and after a while, Bai Xiaode came to report: "General, the one on your list is called Gong Ren Gui Delang General has come!" ”

"Oh? Where is he sitting? Zhao Ziliang turned his head and looked left and right and asked.

"It's in the corner over there!"

Zhao Ziliang followed Bai Xiaode's fingers and looked, only to see a person sitting alone at a table in the corner, that person was wearing a regular suit, but he couldn't hide the muscles explained by his body, this person was not small, but he didn't look very good, and his face was full of potholes, this kind of person was a tough type at first glance.

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that there will be more than half an hour before the wine and food come up, you go and call Gong Ren over first, take him to the private room next to him, I will wait inside, and the others on the list will bring me one by one to see me when they arrive."

"No!"

Zhao Ziliang only waited for a short incident in the private room, and Bai Xiaode brought Gong Ren in.

"Gong Ren visited the general, I don't know what the general ordered to call a certain over?"

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand at Bai Xiaode, asked him to retreat, and said, "Gong Ren, come, sit!" ”

"General Xie!" Gong Ren's tone was a little stiff, obviously not good at communicating with people.

However, Zhao Ziliang found that this person's eyes are very smart, such a person is just not good at communication, not that he is inflexible. Zhao Ziliang asked, "How are you doing in the position of riding Cao?" ”

Gong Ren replied bluntly: "It's okay!" ”

Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but laugh and said, "What do you mean by Shang Ke?" How many cavalry are there in the left guard, doesn't General Ben know? You ride Cao basically don't have any in normal times, and you still say it's okay! (To be continued.) )
