Sixteen guards changed a lot in the early Tang Dynasty. When Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty started the new century, it was generally fixed as the left and right guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right Wu guards, the left and right collar guards, the left and right prison guards and the left and right guards. Among them, the first twelve guards are in charge of the government soldiers, and only the last four guards are not in charge of the government soldiers, but are responsible for the guards of the capital and palaces and the personal guards of the emperor. Each guard is commanded by a general and two generals, with a long history, and there are clerks responsible for the daily affairs of each guard. Four Cao Cao's, Cang, Bing, Qi and Zhou, are responsible for specific affairs such as salary, supplies, performance appraisal, accommodation, horses and weapons. Sixteen guards are directly under the emperor, but they have no power to transfer troops. When it is necessary to go out to war, it is generally agreed by the emperor and the prime minister to issue letters to the Ministry of War, which will then sign a contract and send troops to various folding houses or counties together with the letters. In addition to the sixteen guards, the officials of the East Palace also set up a ten-rate government, each with an official and one or two deputies in charge, and managed a certain number of government soldiers as the guards of the prince. The Sixteen Guards are always called Zhu Wei in South Asia, because their offices are in the imperial city south of Chang 'an and Luoyang. \ x0d \ x0d \ Twelve Guards of the Tang Dynasty \x0d\ 1.
