The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1819 Cleaning
Li Chengqian can be regarded as the successor to the throne as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and now, the war in the Tang Dynasty has ended. Next, after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, a large number of officials will be rewarded, especially those who participated in the previous battle. As for the rewards of the officials in the war, they have meritorious service, so they must be rewarded for promotion. As for the others, the ones with the most changes in positions are mostly the people in the prince's hidden residence, that is, the officials who had stayed in the East Palace.

A lot of officials in the East Palace were abolished scatteredly before, and those who can stay until now are basically those who are really capable. There are fewer people from aristocratic families, but it is not impossible, and now Li Chengqian has become the emperor. These people are the same as Xuan Shijing, they are also rising with the tax account, and they will be promoted all the way. After all, there are many talents in the Zhenguan year, but these years have passed. The group of people beside His Majesty Li Er also left the court hall scatteredly, and the people in the court hall changed one after another. Now, it was the turn of the people from the Prince's East Palace to enter the Hanyuan Hall.

The focus of today's ceremony was on His Majesty Li Er's abdication and Li Chengqian's succession, so the subsequent rewards were just drafted by Lin'an holding the three provinces, and then Li Chengqian stood on the high platform and read the imperial edict with the seal affixed.

As early as three days ago, Xuan Shijing and others knew about their own rewards, so when they heard the content of this edict, they couldn't make any waves in their hearts. Apart from them, there were many others The official positions of the officials have been changed, and the newly promoted group are all talented ministers, and have nothing to do with the background of the family members.

However, Li Chengqian had just succeeded to the throne, and he didn't clearly want to fight against the aristocratic family. Even though he knew that some people from the aristocratic clan secretly eroded the interests of the Tang Dynasty and harmed the public and private interests, but on the first day of his succession, he did not do this kind of thing At the time, anyway, the days will be long in the future.

In today's scene, there are also rewards for the children of some aristocratic families. The reason is that some ministers in the court should be stabilized, so we can take it slowly and start slowly in the future.

Speaking of which, although Li Chengqian is the emperor who has just succeeded to the throne, he has been sitting in that seat for two years anyway. It is impossible to say that the court does not have some power of his own. At that time, it was inevitable for Li Chengqian to take the position, so in the past two years, except for some careless ones, basically no one offended Li Chengqian. Didn't you see that the imperial edict about Li Chengqian from the three provinces was never rejected?
They offended Li Chengqian and couldn't see His Majesty Li Er. In the end, they were the ones who were unlucky, so there was no need to bite the bullet and hate the prince.

Standing down on this day, standing still in front of the Hanyuan Hall, after the ceremony is completely over, Xuan Shijing, a man in his prime, can't stand it, let alone those old courtiers, fortunately, it's autumn, isn't it? In the twelfth lunar month of winter or under the scorching sun, otherwise there would be many ministers who fell headfirst.

After the ceremony, Xuan Shijing left the Daming Palace. His mission is not over yet. His Majesty Li Er has completely retired and become the Supreme Emperor. As early as three months ago, people said that Xuan Shijing should prepare for it in Zhuangzi. A house, he is going to live in Zhuangzi for a period of time, and it is estimated that it will not be long before His Majesty Li Er will pack up and live in Zhuangzi in Dongshan County. Gao Shilian said hello, and asked Gao Shilian to pay more visits to His Majesty Li Er when he had nothing to do.

Compared with the gentlemen in the academy, His Majesty Li Er is really a strong and strong type, and his knowledge is no worse than that of the gentlemen in the academy. It is a pity that he lives in Zhuangzi and cannot be a gentleman in the academy. Anyway, Xuanshi Jing expected that His Majesty Li Er would also be interested, but he needed someone to set him up, so this person was Gao Shilian.

In terms of relationship, Gao Shilian is the uncle of the emperor and empress couple.

As soon as Xuan Shijing returned to Daozhengfang, the people in the palace sent over the edict, which was the edict for Xuan Shijing to ennoble him, and Xuan Shijing is now the Duke of Qi.

There is a one-letter difference between the Duke of the County and the Duke of the State, but there is a difference in status. For example, now that Xuan Shijing is the Duke of Qi, his fief in Zhuangzi in Dongshan County can also be enlarged. Thanks to the grace of the Son of Heaven, if the academy builds any buildings in the future, there will be room for it.

Once the war broke out, a lot of good farm houses around Chang'an City were vacated. It's not that there is no land, it's just that other people's homes are about to be sold. Who else?Li Jingxuan.

Li Jingxuan was sent out by Li Chengqian. He improperly commanded the army in Hexi, and almost caused irreparable damage. Li Chengqian would not keep him in the court, and at this time, no one in the court would have any objections when he was sent out. Firstly, Li Jingxuan had indeed done something wrong, and even offended the military camp. Second, at this time, no one would refute Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian came to the top position with the momentum of the victory of the Great Tang War. He won this battle. Although Li Chengqian did not go to the battlefield, there must be a lot of credit for him. After all, he was behind the management and support of this war It was Li Chengqian, of course, and several officials from the three provinces. As for other officials in the court, Li Chengqian would be thankful if they didn't come to cause trouble for Li Chengqian.

Except for Li Jingxuan, those who were closely related to Li Jingxuan also suffered one by one. The three wives of Li Jingxuan were all from Shandong gentry, and they have already accumulated a lot of power in the court. Regarding this, Li Chengqian can't move those deep-rooted big men now. The aristocratic family, could it be that Li Jingxuan can't be touched?

Therefore, Li Jingxuan's management in the court was uprooted by Li Chengqian at once.

This reckoning actually resulted in a lot of things. After Li Chengqian succeeded to the throne, he issued three edicts in succession to liquidate Li Jingxuan’s party members. The name was also very nice. Li Jingxuan’s improper command in Hexi almost caused Tang Dynasty to fall into a catastrophe. place.

When the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, no one would help Li Jingxuan to get ahead, so Li Jingxuan was destined to be sacrificed.

As for the aristocratic family, they still understand the truth of losing a car to protect a handsome man. For thousands of years, once there is any danger or something happens, they have always done this. If they don’t sacrifice others, they must sacrifice themselves. In comparison, it is still a good deal to sell outsiders.

Li Chengqian's purge in the court is also reasonable, and now the purges are all those who have lost in previous wars, including those who have relations with Li Jingxuan and were placed in the rear army, and they have also been given excuses Check it out.
