Chapter 480: In the Dream of Heaven and Earth (4)
Chapter 480: Dreams on Heaven and Earth (4)
If you don’t go to the morning court, the officials will only come to the office after dawn.
But some officials were well-informed and learned that Pei Xingjian, Liu Rengui and the other two went to the East Palace to pay their respects yesterday, and then went to Shangyang Palace to know that something big happened.
They entered Dongcheng and Imperial City one after another from Tianjin Bridge. The main departments under the Secretary of the Central Committee were in the Imperial City, and the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty and Dali Temple were in the Dongcheng. This result was also because the Luoyang Imperial Palace was slightly smaller.
But the eunuch immediately went to the departments to call the prime ministers and important officials to Shangyang Palace to discuss matters.
A big thing happened!
At about noon, a sensational edict was finally issued. His Majesty the Emperor abdicated the emperor to the position of the crown prince. In fact, there are many considerations in this edict, such as the distribution of the rights of the emperor and the emperor. It is very vague. One is called me, the other is called me, the other is called edict, and the other is made and the emperor is made. The emperor of the third rank or above was given a grant, and the emperor of the Great Punishment Prison was handled. Is the edict more effective than making a precept? Or what should I do if the emperor and the emperor have a dispute with the emperor for the fourth rank or below? Or what should I do if the emperor and the emperor have a dispute with the emperor?
But no one paid attention to the difference, only knowing that the crown prince will become the emperor soon.
"Thank you for your father and mother," Li Wei took the edict and stood up and said.
More satisfied than he thought, the edict made an exception to ask him to attend the court in Wucheng Palace, rather than in the Eastern Palace. I don’t know if it was his father or mother’s repentance, or the Eastern Palace in Luoyang, unlike the Eastern Palace in Chang'an, which was a little small and did not have a decent hall to hold court affairs, which was the result.
Anyway, my parents gave it all.
He also said, "Give five hundred pieces of silk and one hundred gold to Eunuch Liu."
This is the eunuch who rewarded and proclaimed the edict.
Since you are in power, you should be low-key and low-key, and you should be high-key when you should be high-key. Once you become an emperor, you should not be arrogant immediately.
"Your Majesty, I dare not take it."
"This is a great joy for Yu, Eunuch Liu accepted it."
"Here," Eunuch Liu happily took it away.
But not to be the emperor immediately, there are many rituals. The Supreme Emperor wants to hold abdication ceremony and the new emperor wants to hold a crowning ceremony. Fortunately, Li Shimin has done it once, and there are examples to be seen. When the news spreads, the people celebrate. What the people are most concerned about is that the court has been in turmoil for a long time. The prince should calm down after becoming the emperor, right?
Even if he neglected another matter, an edict was issued quietly. Pei Yan was in charge of the case of Ming Chongyan's plot and murdering the crown prince.
There are only these words in the edict, and some are not easy to say. I explained it to Li Wei. Some people are indeed plotting to murder the crown prince, and there is no need to say anything else. It is not easy to say. If you turn on this case, it will cause a riot. Not only will Wu Zetian drag it into the deep water, but even the Supreme Emperor will drag it into the deep water. The Crown Prince is your son. Why is the appointed minister or prince who is murdered in one time, twice, and three times? That is not the mistake of Xu Jingzong, Helan Minzhi, Li Xian and Ming Chongyan, but the emperor's mistake. The simplest truth is that without the support of your Supreme Emperor, the crown prince is already strong in age, won the hearts of the people, and has made contributions. How dare these people come?
If someone pushes it a little longer, the court will immediately split, and Wu Zetian will not predict the direction. The most terrifying thing is that Li Wei is very grateful to the soldiers. This is also the reason why Wu Zetian and Li Zhi quickly compromised.
He quickly tried the case in a low-key manner and basically collected the evidence. Pei Yan was just a formality. Of course, there was also a headache. How to cover it up is not in line with his "gentleman style". Thinking of this, he felt a big grudge in his heart.
In the end, he used Wu Zetian's excuse. Ming Chongyan's plan was not weird. All the relevant personnel were exiled to Yazhou, but secretly ordered the guards to kill the man halfway. After all, the abdication and coronation ceremony were about to be held, so it would be difficult for the bloody scene to be staged in Luoyang.
Finally, he came to Shangyang Palace shyly and reported the matter.
"Pei Qing, you're sitting very well," Wu Zetian said, thinking about it and then said, "Don't cross the Yangtze River, kill immediately after crossing the Huai River."
I am afraid that there will be many dreams in the night, Ming Chongyan will kill him and eliminate this hidden danger.
"Here!" Pei Yan became even more ashamed and angry. He did these things very unpretentiously, and he was simply pouring ink on his feathers, so he had to do it.
A big case that could cause huge storms was handled quietly like this. The truth has become a mystery in history.
...
The sixth day of the sixth month, the auspicious day of the zodiac.
The crown prince is crowned!
Wu Zetian asked Li Shoucheng: "What are the people in Luoyang City now?"
Li Shoucheng whispered: "Empress Dowager, at this time, thousands of households are decorated with lights and joy is thunderous."
It was very uncomfortable. The crown prince had too much influence among the people. Then he looked at Wu Zetian with his eyes. Wu Zetian's expression was very calm and said, "I understand."
The long etiquette took a long time to go on. It was not until noon that it ended.
Sitting in the Wucheng Hall, looking at the civil and military ministers, and then looking at their parents, Li Wei said, "Father, mother, son minister is unfilial..."
Both Li Zhi and Wu Zetian said nothing.
Even if Li Wei was crying at this time, he would not think he was filial.
Li Wei said again: "But today some matters of my son-in-law need to be announced. Please do not leave after the father and mother. If my son-in-law says it wrong, please correct me."
After saying that, he fell down.
Since you ascend the throne from today, you must set an example for the emperor. But this requires the consent of your parents. Otherwise, as soon as you ascend the throne, you will be promoted later. Some defensemen will think that they are cold-hearted and too anxious.
Li Zhi still said nothing. Wu Zetian pulled Li Zhi's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, I'll listen. Hong'er lacks experience. For the sake of the future of the empire, he also needs His Majesty to correct him."
"I'm sure you."
"Thank you, my father," he said, following Li Zhi, walked towards the main hall, moved deliberately, and moved to Wu Zetian and said, "I also thank my mother, I will remember what I said in Qinghai."
"Come on, I have suffered a lot in the past few years." Wu Zetian hit him.
I don’t know whether it’s crying or laughing, but this son is soft, hard, and happy, and a little Yin knife is shaking. I don’t know what he is thinking. But this statement still made Wu Zetian a little satisfied.
The three of them came to the main hall, and all the ministers bowed down and said, "See the Supreme Emperor, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty."
In fact, it is still very chaotic. There is only one Majesty in name, but in fact there are three Majesty.
"You are all right," Li Wei said. He was in the upper throne for a long time and did not frighten. Then he led his parents to the upper throne before he sat down.
"Dear friends, the great gift is over, and the State is important. I want to say something, and I also want to hear the opinions of the Supreme Empress Dowager and the Lords." I can't call me, but I'm not used to calling me, so I simply call myself.
Finally seeing the crown prince put on a dragon crown and a dragon robe, Liu Rengui immediately leaned down and said, "Please make it clear to you."
"I have said to some generals in Qinghai that if you don't want to be a general, you are not a good soldier. Why do you say that? Without a motivation, you will not be brave in killing enemies. Without a motivation, you will not reflect on yourself and learn from progress. Therefore, all scholars study hard and want to be the top-tier and serve the country in one go. When people live, there is always a motivation. The same is true for the country."
Unexpectedly, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he said that the first sentence was like this, which was a little shocked.
Li Wei continued: "So I have an immature idea and want to hear your opinions."
Li Yiyan immediately said, "Please give instructions from your Majesty."
I was very happy to see His Highness talk in front of all the officials for the first time on such occasions. This is what the King of England looks like.
"In the future, the court will formulate a plan every five years. In these five years, our Tang Dynasty will do something, what to bring to the people and what to do to the country. Then in the second five years, what will the country make. This is called a five-year plan. In addition, what tasks will be completed in that year. This is called a small plan a year. Only when government affairs are not burdened, and the country has a direction of development."
This idea is not very clever. In later generations, what a high school student knows is often the government neglects the people. But most countries have it. Whether it is not fooling the people or not, there is a clear direction, which does have some benefits to the country.
But this is the first time that people have heard of it in this era.
They were stunned again, and then buzzed. Some people were smart and immediately thought of the benefits, and couldn't help but say: "Okay."
Li Wei also had to respect his parents' opinions, turned his head and said, "Father, mother, what I admire most is that it is difficult to start a business and it is even more difficult to maintain success. Especially in the past ten years, the country has been suffering from disasters, but the country is still developing. It is the contribution of the father and mother, and it is not easy to do it. My son and mother are young, and this idea is right or wrong. I would like to ask my father and mother to correct me."
Let’s not talk about Wu Zetian. Even Li Zhi returned to the vague for a while and thought of all kinds of benefits. He felt mixed feelings in his heart. After a while, he said, “Okay.”
The ministers did not object, and Li Wei continued: "Don't worry about this matter. Please discuss it with the ministers, and then formulate it as the driving force for our Tang Dynasty. Let me say another thing, the talent of Emperor Gaozu of Han in the past was not revealed, and the reason why he could win the world is nothing but human. He once issued an edict and said, "The wise man has been in harmony with me for a long time, but he does not benefit me." I am still a wise man, and I have any wise man, who is willing to travel with me, and I can respect and show him.
If a wise man follows the country, I should advise him to be the leader, and he would personally welcome him and send him to the sage. King Wei also said that today, our Tang Dynasty is only talented and talented in the official family, and the poor families cannot enter. I have thought for a long time and made sense. The choice of talent is too biased. King Liu, please draft an order for me. Those who are capable and talented in the world and have a skill should take the initiative to recommend themselves, or the prefects of each state and the Ming Duke of each county should be recommended to the court. I will welcome him and use it now."
"Here!" Liu Rengui was overjoyed.
This is not a discussion in advance. Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty. I will immediately give him a big surprise.
Wu Zetian asked Li Zhi in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Li Zhi also whispered: "This evil son is the only one who inherits the throne."
After the two of them finished talking, they giggled. No matter what, they were still very satisfied with the son's performance today.
Chapter completed!
