Chastity Layman

"I ordered Grand Master Qin Lang to be the state affairs of the Pingzhang Army, the inspection of the school, the order of the school, and the affairs of the two provinces of Zhizhongshu, and the first assistant to the crown 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 shoot for the prince's young teacher and Shangshu's right servant, and to make peace with Zhongshumen."

"Edict Cui Dunli to be the crown prince's Taifu and a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Pei Xingjian to be the crown prince's Shaofu, the governor of Luoyang, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Lai Heng to be the prince's Shaobao and the servant of the Huangmen..."

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 sour.

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 any prestige and qualifications in the Imperial Academy, and his relationship with the Qin family was not so good.

Li Anqi kneaded his wrists, thinking in his heart, the emperor probably never imagined that today would happen. If you want to blame, in fact, you can only blame the emperor for killing Yuanjiu Changsun Wuji, 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 other than swearing allegiance.

With a person like Xiao Chen serving as a servant, even if Mrs. Xiao didn't participate in this incident, how could Xiao Chen be responsible for being 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 final analysis, 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.

With a long sigh 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 chancellor 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, allusions, etc. of the imperial edicts of the important ministers are very careful, and there must be no mistakes. This is not to appoint and dismiss ordinary officials, and dismiss them casually.

Among these edicts, the most important one was naturally for Qin Lang.

Li Xian read it carefully, read it again, and finally handed it over to Li Yifu, who was originally the official secretary of the Zhongshu Province.

But just now Li Yifu had 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 rule, that the ministers of the political affairs hall take turns to be in charge of the affairs of the government, and they will take turns one by one.

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 imperial edict and seal it."

This is a draft, and it will be transcribed into an official internal system only after the consent of the prince of Jianguo. It is written in white linen and stamped with a seal.

Li Xian still 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 edict to Xu Jingzong with a smile on his face.

The Xuanhui Academy has been withdrawn, and the princes of several edicts 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 chief executives also had meals together. The meals are relatively simple, divided meals, four dishes and one soup per person.

After a simple meal, the hall was already brightly lit, and the prince wanted to continue discussing 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 news 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.

Be at peace 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, so he was supposed to be abolished. The concubine Qin Huangchen was virtuous and virtuous, and she was supposed to be a queen.

Furthermore, the imperial 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, publishing some of Webster's crimes at this time will also help eliminate Wei Xiao and add a layer of legal justice to today's actions.

The mother is more valuable than the son, and the son is also distinguished by the mother.

The relationship between mother and child is dependent on each other. If the Qin family is the queen, Li Xian's position as the crown prince will naturally be more impeccable and stable.

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, imperial concubine Xiao, Concubine Zheng De and Concubine Xu Xian were also requested by Li Yifu to be deposed as commoners. The reason was that Concubine Zheng De and her family were also involved in this treason, and Concubine Xu Xian was originally the harem of the holy ancestor.

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.

Previously, 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 the dark on this road.

Qin Jun did not perform as actively as Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu. He has made enough contributions.

When the hall suddenly became quiet, Li Xian looked at his cousin.

"Does Qin Shizhong have any other suggestions?"

Qin Jun thought for a while, "I suggest that the Crown Prince's Hall of the Supervisory State issue a decree to withdraw money and silk from the national treasury to reward the soldiers in the capital, and reward 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.

"Today's loyal soldiers who have fought against the king for rebellion, 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 recorded three rounds of honor.

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 generous and generous.

As soon as this edict comes out, it will definitely win the support of all the 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 guard may have to reward twenty or thirty pennies, but it is acceptable and can be given out.

The throne 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 the princes Li Tai, Li Ke, Li Zhi, Li Yuanjing and other emperors, as well as Princess Gaoyang, Fang Yiai, Xue Wanche and other princesses, were involved in the conspiracy and died in the country. Eliminate, or even implicate the entire family.

The royal clan was cleaned so ruthlessly, not to mention the killing and cleaning of elders such as Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, it was like a river of blood.

More recently, the Su family was unwilling to be exiled to Haidong, and they fought desperately, but 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 catastrophe, and were involved in several founding meritorious families.

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 to Jingluan's rebellion, or the first contribution to the establishment of a policy. 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.

"You guys have worked hard, let's stop here first for today's discussion."

Xu Jingzong said, "The eastern and western mansions 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 mansions 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. Today he will directly rest at Dengchun Pavilion in Xizhou, and he is also 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.

In the end, it was decided that Xu Jingzong, Cheng Chumo and Master Xu Yu would be on duty in the palace tonight, and the crown prince also specially invited Qin Jun, the school inspector, to stay behind.

The crown prince also specially gave Qin Jun the post of commanding the guards of the imperial palace, while Cheng Chumo was also inspecting the camps at the north gate, and Niu Jianwu was also inspecting 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 on duty at 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.

He asked the ministers to be sent out of the palace, and the 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 both of them could not fall asleep on the couch.

Obviously sleepy, but very excited.
