Chapter 1363 Cleaning
"I ordered Grand Master Qin Lang to be the state affairs of the Pingzhang Army, the Minister of the School, and the second province of Zhizhongshu, and the first assistant to the prince as regent."
"I ordered Laiji to be the prince's grand teacher, Shangshu Zuopushe, and Tong Zhongshu's disciples to make peace."
"I ordered Shangguanyi to be the prince's young teacher and Shangshu's right servant to shoot, and to make peace with Zhongshumen."
"Decree Cui Dunli as Prince Taifu and a scholar of the Imperial Academy, Pei Xingjian as Prince Shaofu Luoyang Fu Yin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Lai Heng as Prince Shaobao and Huangmen servant..."
Li Anqi, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, wrote more than a dozen edicts in one day, all using white hemp, recalling Qin Lang, Laiji, Cui Dunli, Shangguanyi and other ministers. After more than a dozen edicts, I was tired, my back was sore, my energy was exhausted, my eyes were blurred, and my hands were sore.
Even my heart is sore.
Because at the end of the writing, he also wrote the edict that Cui Dunli was a bachelor of the New Imperial Academy. This position is now his, but he has already obtained a new position, Xijing stay and Jing Zhaoyin.
Although it is also an important position, but Xijing is for the elderly, how can it be compared with the bachelor Chengzhi who knows Zhizhi? A bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is called an inner minister.
But as soon as the emperor and his courtiers, the emperor can no longer move his hands or speak, he is completely useless, Qin Jun raised troops to force the king of Qin to be the crown prince, Xu Jingzong and Li Yi's people all supported the crown prince, and openly wanted to respect the emperor as the overlord. Waiting to support the prince as the new king.
He, Li Anqi, was just replaced by Shangguanyi after he was demoted. He didn't have much prestige and qualifications in the Imperial Academy, and his relationship with the Qin family was mediocre.
Li Anqi kneaded his wrists, thinking in his heart, the emperor probably never expected to see this day. If you want to blame, in fact, you can only blame the emperor for killing Yuanjiu Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang and other elders in recent years, and driving Li Ji to Chang'an, so that the central government does not have enough prestigious ministers.
Facing Qin Jun and others raising troops into the palace and forcibly embracing King Qin as the crown prince, they had no ability to resist except swearing allegiance.
When a person like Xiao Chen is serving as a servant, even if Xiao Shi did not participate in this matter, how can Xiao Chen be the prime minister? Li Yifu was promoted only by killing the eldest grandson Wuji for the emperor. Xu Jingzong was an old man, but he was kicked home by the emperor himself to reflect on his crimes.
Lu Chengzong, Dou Dexuan, and Xue Yuanchao are prime ministers. Although they are relatives of the emperor from famous families, they lack sufficient merit. It is good to have the emperor's support at ordinary times. When they stabbed Gao Hu, the envoy of Xuanhui Academy, to death in front of the palace, the faces of those who had been frightened were pale, and Lu Chengzong, known as the hero of the five surnames, even fought against each other.
In the end, it was the emperor who had been tossing the center of the court desperately in the past few years. When the elders were gone, the power of the prime minister was cut again and again.
Long sighed in his heart, Li Anqi didn't want to waste his mind thinking about these anymore. Now that the overall situation is settled, what else is there to think about.
Didn't Li Anqi stand up and say a word?
Even when Gao Nu falsely preached the imperial decree to call him into the palace and threatened him, he didn't dare to refute him. He was demoted to Chang'an this time. In fact, this is the most important thing. His position is not firm enough, and he lost his reputation In terms of righteousness, it is not as good as Xiao Siye and Xue Rengui at critical moments.
Li Anqi never thought of being a loyal and loyal official. His father, Li Baiyao, lived to be over eighty years old. Like grass on the wall, but not only did he live to be more than eighty years old, he was even conferred the title of Kang Guogong and earned a world title.
His grandfather Li Delin was also the prime minister of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty.
Anyway, three generations of the Li family have been prime ministers.
These edicts are all above the third grade, and even made by the Prime Minister, and sent to the side for the prince to review.
The words and allusions of important ministers are very cautious, and there must be no mistakes. This is not to dismiss ordinary officials, and dismiss them casually.
Among these edicts, the most important one is naturally for Qin Lang.
Li Xian read it carefully, read it again, and finally handed it over to Li Yifu.
But just now Li Yifu has tactfully handed over the privilege of specializing in political affairs pens, and he directly suggested that Qin Jun should be in charge of pens.
Of course, Qin Jun couldn't agree. He accepted the inspection of the school servant and Tong Zhongshu's third rank this time because he knew that it was not the time to give way, and he could occupy a key position in the political affairs hall to protect the prince. , but he is young after all, although he was also a nine minister and a general before, but after all, he was just doing idle work.
Xu Jingzong took the opportunity to remonstrate, saying that it would be better to restore the old practice, that the ministers of the political affairs hall take turns to be in charge of the affairs of the government, and directly take turns for one person for a day.
Li Yifu read the imperial edict written by Li Anqi, and nodded to the prince, "Kang Guogong is knowledgeable and talented. This imperial edict is very well written. You don't need to revise it. You can directly write the edict and seal it."
This is a draft, and it must be approved by the prince of Jianguo before it is transcribed into an official internal system, written in white linen, and stamped with a seal.
Li Xian asked Xu Jingzong and Qin Jun to watch it again.
This made Li Yifu feel a little embarrassed, but he still handed the draft of the imperial edict to Xu Jingzong with a smile on his face.
Xuanhui Academy has been withdrawn, and several edicts and princes have personally reviewed the paintings.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Li Xian asked the imperial dining room to have meals, and all the ministers and officials also had meals together. The meals are relatively simple, divided meals, four dishes and one soup per person.
After the simple meal, the hall was already brightly lit, and the prince would continue to discuss matters with everyone.
Too many things happened today, but it's still stable.
What needs to be done now is to make some adjustments to the center, and at the same time, spread the word to the local military, government, civil and military, and the people of the world as soon as possible, so that they can know what happened in the court in time, and understand the rebellion and failure of Webster and Xiao.
To calm people down as soon as possible.
Xu Jingzong was very active today, he was not the first to ask for the crown prince to be the emperor, so he was the first to stand up after the meal to ask for an edict to abolish the empress Wei, and to convict her back.
Li Xian hesitated for a while.
Now he is only the crown prince. It seems unfilial to abolish Webster at this time. After all, Webster is the queen, but Xu Jingzong is worthy of being the prime minister for nearly thirty years. Straightforward.
First of all, Webster had misbehaved a long time ago and was abandoned by the emperor.
Furthermore, the edict will be issued in the name of the Son of Heaven, not in the name of the Prince Jian Guo’s order, so don’t worry about it.
Qin Jun also came out to express his support, with a clear attitude.
If you want to clean Wei Xiao, you can do it all at once.
Moreover, the announcement of some of Webster's crimes at this time will also help to eliminate Wei Xiao and add a layer of legal justice to today's actions.
Mother is more valuable than son, and son is also distinguished by mother.
Li Yifu was not to be outdone.
"I think the system of the harem in this dynasty was originally a system of one empress, four concubines and nine concubines. In the past, the saints added imperial concubines and imperial concubines, which violated the system. Now the crown prince's biological mother is appointed as the new master of the six palaces. The titles of Huangchenfei and Huangguifei are abolished, and only one empress, four concubines and nine concubines remain in the old system."
Empress Wei was abolished, Concubine Xiao Huang was abolished, Concubine Zheng De, and Concubine Xu Xian were also requested by Li Yifu to be deposed as common people.
Anyway, the emperor was lying there like a useless person, without any movement.
Li Yifu is now determined to follow the new crown prince. As for the emperor who has been kind to him, how can he care about it, not to mention whether the emperor can wake up again, even if he does wake up in the future, Li Yifu does not intend to give the emperor any more Chance to power.
Before, he had already taken the lead in supporting and persuading him to advance, although the prince did not agree.
But this is just a common practice. It will take some time to go through the process of persuading and refusing three times, but he has already taken the lead in persuading him, so he is the one who least wants the emperor to wake up, let alone to be in power again .
He has no way out, he can only go to darkness on this road.
Qin Jun did not perform as actively as Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu. He has made enough contributions.
After the hall suddenly quieted down, Li Xian looked at his cousin.
"Does Shizhong Qin have any suggestions?"
Qin Jun thought for a while, "The minister suggested that the Crown Prince's Hall of the Supervisory State issue a decree to withdraw money and silk from the treasury to reward the soldiers in the capital, and rewards should also be given to the soldiers of the local government and border guards."
"As usual, the world should be amnesty, and the elderly, teachers, and students should be rewarded."
Li Xian nodded, this is very important.
"The loyal soldiers who fought against the king today should record their meritorious service, increase their ranks, and give them excellent rewards. Please the Privy Council to settle this matter as soon as possible."
Li Xian proposed to use internal funds to reward these soldiers of King Qin, and the Privy Council will record honors according to their merits. Before the formal rewards, the crown prince decided to give every soldier who participated in King Qin's rebellion today, a rank of five or more. Those below the fifth rank and above the seventh rank will add two levels, and those below the seventh rank will add three levels.
Each person will be rewarded three times.
According to the original salary, three years of money and food will be rewarded.
As for the other two yamen, Suwei and Fanshang soldiers in Gyeonggi, they will be rewarded with a year's salary.
The prince is very forthright and generous.
Once this edict comes out, it will definitely win the support of all soldiers.
At this time, no one thinks that the reward is too much, and whoever mentions it will be mentally ill. What's more, the establishment of the crown prince may also mean that he is about to be crowned as the successor, and he has just experienced such a palace change. At this time, it is normal to give more rewards to the soldiers.
A high-ranking imperial army may have to reward twenty or thirty pennies, but it is acceptable and can be given out.
The throne of the emperor is about to be transferred, and the center of power in the world will also be replaced.
Once the emperor and the courtiers, everyone is thinking about how to keep their status, and even take the opportunity to seek greater rights and interests. As for the rest, who cares about it.
The power struggle is brutal and everyone knows it.
The Kaiyuan Dynasty only lasted 15 years, but there were princes Li Tai, Li Ke, Li Zhi, Li Yuanjing and other princes, as well as Princess Gaoyang, Fang Yiai, Xue Wanche and other princesses, and their sons-in-law were involved in the treason case and died in the country. Eliminate, or even implicate the entire family.
The royal clan was cleaned so hard, not to mention the elders such as Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, etc. were killed and cleaned, it was like a river of blood.
More closely, the Su family was unwilling to be exiled to Haidong, so they tried their best and failed in the end, so the entire Su family was completely wiped out, and hundreds of other families were implicated.
Even the sons of the founding king Li Xiaogong failed to escape the disaster, and several families who made great contributions to the founding of the country were also involved.
It's that cruel.
If Qin Jun and the others fail to succeed in their uprising this time, they will not be able to escape the fate of the Su family in the end. If the army is raised, as long as things fail, it is impossible to escape the purge.
But Qin Jun succeeded, so he is now the first contribution of Jing Luan's rebellion, or the first contribution of his decision-making support. Shumen's affairs are in peace, and he enters the political affairs hall to become the prime minister, reaching the sky in one step.
It was very late in the discussion, and Li Xian got up.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's stop here for today's discussion."
Xu Jingzong said, "The eastern and western prefectures and the Hanlin Academy should each leave a minister in charge of the palace to stay in the palace, and the other ministers should go back to their respective residences to rest."
Li Yifu said, "Tomorrow there will be a court meeting, and His Royal Highness will attend the court."
Li Xian nodded. Although he has become the crown prince and supervised the country, he has not been to the East Palace yet, and he does not plan to go tonight. He will just rest in Dengchun Pavilion in Xizhou today, serving the emperor.
Wait until tomorrow's court meeting and formally meet all the officials before making follow-up arrangements.
But it is definitely necessary to accompany the emperor for a while in the palace. After all, the emperor's madness and paralysis have not stabilized yet, and no one knows if there will be an emergency.
Finally, it was decided that Xu Jingzong, Cheng Chumo, and Master Xu Yu would be on duty in the palace tonight. In addition, the crown prince also specially invited Qin Jun, the school inspector, to stay behind.
The prince also specially appointed Qin Jun to command the guards of the palace, while Cheng Chumo also inspected the camps at the north gate, and Niu Jianwu also inspected the guards at the Xuanwu Gate.
Anyway, Li Xian trusted Qin Jun, Cheng Chumo, and Niu Jianwu the most at this time.
Outside the Xuanwu Gate, the Shenji Camp, Hundred Cavalry Camp, Thousand Cavalry Camp, Flying Cavalry Camp, Yulin Camp, and other north gate camps have all been readjusted today. He became the sons of Qin Chengniu and other families, as well as their in-laws and former members. Anyway, they are all members of the Shandong military upstart group.
The soldiers guarding Xuanwumen and Taiyechi Xizhou are still those who entered the palace to serve the king today. The prince and Qin Jun trust them very much, and they are on duty at this time.
Asked the ministers to be sent out of the palace, and the crown prince asked the ministers on duty to simply stay in Dengchun Pavilion on the island to rest.
Li Xian also specially invited his cousin Qin Jun to sleep on the same bed, but neither of them could fall asleep.
Obviously sleepy, but excited.
