In the face of Zhao Ziliang's strong rectification of the rule of officials and his unexpected appointment of Li Mian as Jing Zhaoyin, not only did the prime minister faction begin to restrain the officials to collect their hands and feet to make money, but the princelings began to restrain the officials under Li Shi's order to stop the corrupt atmosphere, and the members of the eunuch party all looked forward to Luo Fengxian after the fall of Ju Wenzhen, but most of the forces of the eunuch party have been expelled from the court, and they can only continue to show off their power in the palace and in the royal industry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The fall of Ju Wenzhen let the members of the eunuch party know that this Zhao Ziliang can't be provoked, provoke him, he can make you die, in order to save their lives, the eunuchs can only nest in the palace and dare not come out, for fear of being hit by Zhao Ziliang again, but the Ju Wenzhen case is not over, the trial of the three divisions has not yet been carried out, and I don't know how many people will be implicated this time.

Luo Fengxian was always playing drums in his heart at this time, he didn't know how many people would be bitten out when Ju Wenzhen was interrogated, but if Ju Wenzhen really couldn't bear it, then the eunuch party would be all over, these days he tried to send people to the prison, but every time he was blocked back, it turned out that the prison now has new regulations, except for the relevant law enforcement yamen, others are not allowed to visit the prisoners, which makes it impossible for the people in the eunuch party to do anything to Ju Wenzhen, Luo Fengxian and other eunuch members can only spend their days in panic.

The next day, Zhao Ziliang got up very early, and after breakfast after morning exercises, he took the people of the palace to the imperial city, at this time, there were many lieutenant generals and colonels who came to the imperial city one after another, Zhao Ziliang saw that many lieutenant generals and colonels were gathered near the office area of the imperial court yamen to chat, so he instructed Xuan Jiu: "Pass the order, let them gather downstairs in Chengtianmen City!" ”

"Yes!" Xuan Jiu agreed, and immediately brought someone to inform.

After entering the Imperial City Suzaku Gate, there are the office areas of the imperial court's yamen, and it is indeed unfavorable for the office of the imperial court's yamen to let these military lieutenants and colonels block this place, and there are thousands of generals and colonels in the army who came to participate in the military conference this time, and only the downstairs of Chengtianmen City can be installed, and it will not affect the office of the yamen.

Zhao Ziliang took the people of the palace to climb the Chengtianmen tower and look down on the entire Taiji Palace, the back of the Chengtianmen is called the Inner Dynasty, and the front of the Imperial City is called the Outer Dynasty. Standing on the tower of Chengtianmen, you can see the entire Taiji Palace and the Imperial City clearly.

The lieutenant generals and colonels who got the notice came to the downstairs of Chengtianmen City one after another, and when these people saw someone on the city tower, they knew that there were big people above, so they all changed their previous chatting state, even if they wanted to speak, they were whispering, and they didn't dare to be loud again.

Zhao Ziliang instructed Xuan Jiu: "Send someone to wait below, and if Chen Xuanli comes, let him go up to the city tower!" ”

"Yes, King!"

Soon, a soldier walked up with Chen Xuanli, who was already full of silver hair but was still strong, "Old minister to meet the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang stepped forward to greet him: "General Chen's ability to come means that you have thought it through last night!" ”

Chen Xuanli hugged his fists and said: "Yes, the old minister can still be valued by the king at this age, it seems that the old minister still has some use in the eyes of the king, since this is the case, the old minister will come out to exud some residual heat!" ”

"Okay, well, so there will be General Lao Chen! In the future, the drills of all the guards and horses in the court will be handed over to General Chen, and the king now officially appoints General Chen as the chief training officer of the guards and horses in the capital, and also participates in the restructuring of the army. ”

Chen Xuanli immediately bowed: "The old minister takes the order!" ”

Zhao Ziliang beckoned: "Come here, come over with the appointment documents, official seals, drapes and swords!" ”

Chen Xuanli asked the two accompanying soldiers to collect their things and retreated behind Zhao Ziliang.

Du Fu looked at the time and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "King, the time has come!" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head to Ma Sui and ordered: "Go and let the generals assemble and line up, from left to right, from front to back, those with high military rank are left and front, and those with low military rank are right and back, and then count the number of people to see who else has not come, from now on, those who have not yet arrived will be regarded as late, if they come, let them stand aside first, and they will not be allowed to enter the ranks!" ”

"No!"

Ma Sui immediately led people down to start the whole team, most of the time the generals were ordered to line up with others, but today they were ordered by others to line up and set up, and they were really a little unaccustomed to it for a while, but Ma Sui was obviously an expert in giving orders, and through some simple passwords, he divided all the generals by dividing them by two, of course, in this process, it was inevitable to scold, and some of the generals were scolded so red that they did not dare to refute.

Although Zhao Ziliang asked Du Fu to pass the order and claimed that he would be involved in military justice for those who were late, there were still five generals who were late, and they were blocked out of the queue. ”

Zhao Ziliang shouted: "Let everyone rest for a while!" ”

"Yes!"

After a short rest, the horse retreated to the side, and Zhao Ziliang walked a few steps forward to the edge of the guardrail of the city tower and beckoned to a few people who were late, asking them to come over.

"When this king sent someone to inform him yesterday, he said that he was here to discuss matters and was not allowed to be late, but you are still late, is it that this king's words have no effect on you?"

The five men hurriedly bowed, and one of them hurriedly explained: "The last general could have arrived at the appointed time, but he didn't see anyone after that, so he had to look everywhere, so he was a little late!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said angrily: "You just pinched it, can't you come earlier?" This shows that you don't pay attention to it at all, if you do, you will arrive early! This king doesn't care what reason you have to be late, but the punishment is inevitable, now the five of you start to run out from here, go to Mingde Gate and then return to Suzaku Gate, when you finish running and when you rest, you are not allowed to unload your armor on the way, you are not allowed to throw anything on your body, and you are not allowed to stop, if you let this king know that you are lazy and slippery, this king will let you know what regret is, and after running, go to the Regent's Mansion to wait for the summons! Go ahead! ”

These five generals can only droop their heads and turn around and run outside the imperial city, because they are all wearing heavy armor and carrying swords, these weights are not light, and the distance from Chengtianmen to Mingde Gate is not close, a round trip is more than 20 miles, this trip down, if it is not a person who trains often, I am afraid that it will run prostration, and it is possible to run to death.

Zhao Ziliang looked at the nearly 1,000 generals below and sighed with emotion for a while, these people are all the generals and schools under the direct control of the imperial court, but there are really not many who can really get their hands on it, among these, only a few are really the actual leaders of the troops, most of them have no actual military power, either do civilian things, or are fictitious.

"I brought you here today, if nothing else, maybe someone has already guessed it, yes, since the officialdom has begun to rectify the rule of officials, then the army must also move, how to move? There are three main aspects: the first is to reform the military system, the second is to reorganize training, and the third is to rectify military discipline! ”

"Many of you have served under this king back then, and you can be a general under this king and have some ability, this king can proudly say that if the generals and colonels who come out of this king go to other armies, they can at least be promoted to two levels, but now you are quite disappointed by this king, Chang'an has been broken by the rebels several times, and you have done nothing, what are you doing?"

"The army can't go on like this, it has to change the situation. The reform of the military system mainly includes the re-regulation of the rights of generals such as the chief general, deputy general, and marching horse, among which the rights of the chief general in some aspects must be restricted, otherwise your lord will rebel if he wants to, and raise troops if he wants to. Another part of the reform of the military system is that after the inspection and investigation of this king, the generals and colonels, officers and soldiers of the army will be disarmed, and the targets of the dismissal will mainly be the old, weak, sick and disabled, those who have loose military discipline, and generals and colonels who have mixed qualifications in the army and have no military command level! ”

"After the disarmament, it is to reorganize and drill the retained army, and the reorganization will be carried out by the officials and generals sent by the Ministry of War, and the king will send the relevant officials of the Regent Palace to supervise, if there are any problems, you can report to the supervisory officials at any time, and at the same time as the army is reorganized, the Ministry of War will also conduct a ability assessment of the existing generals and captains, so as to re-appoint the military posts, if you do not participate in the assessment, it is equivalent to automatically giving up the qualification to serve as the actual leader of the army. In this assessment, qualifications and background will not be the only and important conditions, that is to say, no matter how noble your background is, no matter how long you have served in the military, no matter how rich your service experience is, it cannot be used as a condition for you to hold an important military position, the official in charge of the assessment will first examine your loyalty, which is a prerequisite, people who are not loyal to Datang and have no sense of belonging and identity, even if you have talent, you cannot be reused; The second is the assessment of talents, and the last is qualifications. Birth will no longer be a condition for assessment, and commoner and aristocratic origins will be treated equally! ”

"This king here focuses on the assessment of talents, mainly in three aspects: first test the march and the arrangement of troops, then test the martial arts and archery and horse archery, and finally test the command of the formation. Regarding the specific contents of these three assessments, the Ministry of War will send people to each army and each guard later to post the specific assessment contents and methods! ”

Those who are familiar with military affairs know that the quality of military discipline is an extremely important indicator of an army's combat effectiveness. This king heard that some generals in the army were pampered and arrogant, relying on some merits to ignore anyone, and even some people turned their backs to the emperor and talked and laughed with the ministers when they were in the court, and some people ignored etiquette when they were in the court, and sat on the ground without an image when they were tired! ”
