Datang New Order
Chapter 134 The Essentials of the Center
ps: Thank you eagle week for your tip.I have been sorting out my thoughts for the past few days during the holidays. To be honest, it is very difficult to write at this point. Brothers, give Laofan more time to rethink the outline.
A group of civil and military officials stood in His Highness Qianyuan, and the third-tier white jade railings separated the upper and lower halls into two worlds.The heat of midsummer caused thousands of soldiers and hundreds of officials to sweat, but no cool breeze could bring a little refreshment.
Han Yanhui raised his head to look at the cornice of the tall Qianyuan Hall. The various bronze animal heads glowed glaringly white under the direct sunlight, making his slightly squinted eyes often closed, but he had no intention of giving up at all. , still counting carefully, trying to match the animal heads on the cornices with what I have learned.
After watching for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly turned around and greeted Li Zhen who was behind him: "Xingxu, how far has Huiyou Hall been repaired?"
Li Zhen remembered the unbearable past when he tried to recruit Han Yanhui in this Luoyang palace city in the early spring of last year. Entrusting the entire Henan Mansion to the emperor, the construction period was stopped at that time, and it has not continued until now. At that time, it was roughly completed by about [-]%..."
Han Yanhui thought for a moment, and then said: "Who is in charge of repairing the palace?"
"Henan Yin Zhang Quanyi."
Zhang Quanyi came from the Huangchao Peasant Army. In fact, many princes and generals in this era came from the grassroots. They had a disgraceful past, but no one cared about it. This is exactly the characteristic of the war-torn era.Regardless of how many old masters Zhang Quanyi had before, he did contribute to the restoration of Luoyang's people's livelihood.When he took over Henan Yin, the people's livelihood in Luoyang was in decline and the people were displaced, so he worked hard to recruit refugees and resume production. After ten years of hard work, the number of households in Luoyang was restored from a mere hundred to tens of thousands.In the end, it laid the foundation for the emperor to move eastward to Luoyang.
At this moment, Zhang Quanyi was among the hundreds of officials waiting for His Royal Highness Qianyuan, and he belonged to the pro-Liang faction among the court officials, but Han Yanhui remembered that Li Chengzhong once said, "Zhang Quanyi is credited with making Luoyang so prosperous", although he has not had time to deal with it yet There are hundreds of officials in the court, but Han Yanhui has some confidence in Zhang Quanyi's future, so.He waved to Zhang Quanyi and signaled him to come over.
Today's Han Yanhui has been famous all over the world, and his position beside King Yan is coveted by countless people.Among the closest people around Li Chengzhong, Feng Dao was stationed in Youzhou, Zhou Kan was stationed in Zezhou, Jiang Miao supervised the army in Bianzhou, and Zhong Shao stationed troops in Xiapi. Those who came to Luoyang were Zhang Xingzhong and Han Yanhui.Now Zhang Xingzhong is camping outside Luoyang City, the entire Luoyang City.In terms of official position, maybe five or six out of ten people are higher than Han Yanhui, but in terms of status, he can be regarded as under one person and above ten thousand people.I am afraid that in the hearts of most of the officials waiting for His Royal Highness, his status as Han Yanhui is higher than that of the Son of Heaven!
Seeing Han Yanhui waving at him, Zhang Quanyi turned over quickly.He didn't even dare to stretch out his sleeves to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead.
"I don't know why General Han summoned the officer?" Zhang Quanyi asked cautiously.
When the Luoyang court officials were waiting for Li Chengzhong, they once discussed Li Chengzhong's entourage, among which the title of Han Yanhui was the most difficult to settle.Han Yanhui is just a little "Duyuhou".He was dispatched by the unheard-of "United Front Work Department", and he had never had any serious official position in the court.It is even more unbearable for the imperial court to award "envoys" than selling cabbage and radishes, but it is a miracle that there are not many people in the king's tent who can be called "Minister".Later, an official from the Ministry of Officials searched through all the rosters of officials awarded in the past few years, and finally found the imperial court's imperial edict entrusting Han Yanhui as a "Guerrilla General" in the first year of Tianfu, and this relieved everyone.
"I heard that it was Zhang Fuyin who presided over the renovation of the Luoyang Palace?" Han Yanhui asked.
"Don't dare, it's the next official."
"I heard that [-]% of the Huiyou Hall has been repaired. If it is to be completed, when will it be?"
As soon as Zhang Quanyi heard that Huiyou Hall was going to be built, Zhang Quanyi's heart fell immediately. This means that King Yan still has a place to use him. Even if he can't preside over this matter, at least he can be praised, right?
"If [-] migrant workers are recruited, I can guarantee that the project will be completed before the end of the year; if [-] are recruited, it will be completed within four months!" In fact, Zhang Quanyi reported that the time is a bit tight. If he really wants to resume the repair project, the time will be at least To add [-]%.But this moment is not the same as usual, you have to grab the opportunity first, right?
"Recruitment? Well, it's not such a law..." Han Yanhui wanted to explain Youzhou's "contracting project" law to Zhang Quanyi, but he didn't know what to say for a while, so he simply waved his hand and asked him to back down, which made Zhang Quanyi just The heart that fell down picked up again, not knowing what I said didn't suit General Han's wishes.
When Han Yanhui was thinking about repairing the Luoyang palace, Li Chengzhong was also chatting with the emperor in the Qianyuan Hall, talking about the palace.
"...Tao Guang Garden expands a thousand steps to the west and becomes a sleeping hall; five hundred steps to the north and becomes a garden. The construction period is two years, and after completion, it will be a resting place for His Majesty. Don't worry, Your Majesty, the entire Luoyang has a radius of a hundred miles, and His Majesty can travel and go hunting. Whether it's good or not, it's always according to His Majesty's preference..." Li Chengzhong was gesturing on a map of Luoyang, explaining to the emperor.
The emperor listened very carefully, and while listening, he was excited.Now that the imperial power has been determined, the emperor is no longer obsessed with it. When he suddenly let go, he found that the life Li Chengzhong described to him was so wonderful.
After Li Chengzhong finished speaking, the emperor raised his head, looked at Li Chengzhong who was opposite him, and then looked at Prince Li Zhen who was in the arms of Empress He, Princess Tang Xing beside Zhaoyi and Li Jianrong, and De Wang Li Yu, who stood beside him with his head bowed. Hui Wang Li Zuo, Qian Wang Li Wei, Jing Wang Li Mi, Qiong Wang Li Xiang, there are only 11 people, and this is the only remaining blood of the Tian family.
"The decline of the Li family is my loss..." Thinking back to when he succeeded to the throne, hundreds of relatives from the ten kings' houses came to congratulate him, but now there is no one in ten, and the emperor's eyes are red.
"Qilang, the Tian family is reunited today, so don't say such sad words..." Empress He persuaded the emperor with her arms around Prince Li Zhen.
"That's right, no matter what, if you can regain control of the Nine Tripods, you can count as the Li family in Jinyang." The emperor looked at Li Chengzhong, sighed, and said: "From now on, this country will be up to the emperor's uncle."
Li Chengzhong is the descendant of King Xiang, and he is the emperor's uncle in terms of seniority, but the relationship between relatives is too far away.Speaking of impure blood, Prime Minister Zhang Jun had long suggested that the emperor should call Li Chengzhong "Uncle Emperor", and now the emperor finally agreed.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Li's Zhongxing is happening today!" Regarding this point, Li Chengzhong is very confident now.
"Come on, all of you, come to pay respects to the emperor's uncle." The emperor greeted the kings and others.
King De took the lead, and King Hui, King Qian, King Jing, and King Qiong all came up to kowtow to Li Chengzhong, which was regarded as a formal recognition of relatives.Li Chengzhong stepped forward and scooped them up one by one.The eldest of these princes is about to reach adulthood, and the youngest is only five or six years old, but all of them are happy.Especially De Wang Li Yu, as the "false emperor" who was once supported by the middle officials, has never had a good night's sleep in the past few years. Now that the burden of the throne has finally been shaken off, he feels more at ease than anyone else.
The family chatted for a while in the hall, and after Empress He and the others avoided, Li Chengzhong asked Zhang Mao'an to send the officials to court.
The emperor lives on the dragon chair.There are extra couches on both sides, Prince Li Zhen sits on the left side, and Li Chengzhong sits on the right side.
Civil and military officials boarded the Qianyuan Hall one by one, split the hatchback and stood in place.Amidst Han Quanhui's yelling, the Grand Court Meeting on the first day of June in the third year of Tianyou finally kicked off.
The Great Court Conference was launched in Han Quanhui's edict, which was the emperor's self-blaming edict.
"To establish a government and promote change, we must promote sincerity; forget ourselves to help others. Don't hesitate to correct mistakes. My heir obeys the foundation, the king governs the world, and loses the throne. The more reckless. Don't think about morality, sincerity does not follow the past; always speak and think Blame, expected to be restored in the future. Clearly collect its righteousness to show the world. The boy is afraid of virtue, and dare not neglect it. However, he grows up in the deep palace and hides in the affairs of the state. Accumulated habits are easy to drown, and he forgets danger in peace. I don't know the hardships of farming, and I don't understand the hard work of conquering and garrisoning. I don't know what to do, and I don't know how to understand. Fu chariots and horses, far and near turmoil; Traveling and sending off, the common people are exhausted. Hard work is endless, and the fields are barren. Violent orders are more severe than punishment, and the tired people are empty on the shafts, turning to death in ravines, and leaving the village , In the town of Qiuxu, the population is cut off. The sky is condemned by the above, but I will not complain, and the people will blame the people below, but I don’t know. Taming leads to chaos, changes the city, thieves and ministers take advantage of provocations, and rebel against the sky. Never feel ashamed and dare to bully Forced. Ten thousand products are out of order, and the nine temples are shocked. The ancestors are tired at the top, and the concubine is defeated at the bottom. Sad and shy, the crime is real, and I will be ashamed forever, as if falling into the spring valley. Relying on the blessings of heaven and earth, people only cooperate, and the generals Sincerely, the suzerains and vassals declared their strength, the group of robbers screened, and the emperor Wei Zai Zhang. The grand map must be issued a new order. I am vigilant in the morning and evening, but I will save my past mistakes. Dabao..."
The long edict of guilt, self-reporting the faults of the emperor since he came to the throne, and admitting that since he came to power, he has caused "resentment from heaven and people", resulting in "thieves and ministers taking provocations" and "daring to bully", so he is willing to entrust Dabao to The prince of the East Palace of "Shuhua" has since abdicated and no longer cares about things.
After the Edict of Guilt was read out, all the ministers who had already known what they knew all knelt down on the ground and sent off the emperor respectfully with sobs.The Son of Heaven stood up, took off the crown of twelve pendant beads, placed it on the throne, then left the hall casually, turned out from behind the screen, and someone took him to the harem for placement.
After the emperor left, Li Chengzhong got up, came to the prince, took the prince's little hand, pulled him to sit on the throne.Zhang Juhan and Zhang Chengye stepped forward, holding the Tongtian Crown taken off by the emperor in one hand, and holding the five-dragon crown in the other.Li Chengzhong personally put the crown of Dagon on the prince, and put the crown of heaven on the prince, and then returned to his couch.
Hundreds of officials knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to congratulate the new emperor.
Han Quanhui once again unfolded a volume of imperial edict and read it out in court, but it was the first will of the new emperor.
The new emperor announced to the world that he would continue to use the title of Tianyou.This decree was understood by the courtiers who knew how to do it, and it was a symbol of Li Chengzhong's intention to take over the emperor's great treasure.
Li Ye was respected as the Supreme Emperor, Empress He was respected as the Empress Dowager, and Li Jianrong was named the Empress Dowager.This was the last wish of the previous emperor, Li Ye. Li Jianrong had been with him for 20 years, and it was finally fulfilled.
Li Chengzhong was granted the title of state supervisor, he was added as the general of Tiance, and he opened the Tiance Mansion to take charge of all military and political affairs in the world. From now on, the court can decide with one word!
The historians of later generations agreed that the Luoyang Grand Court Meeting held on June [-]st of the third year of God's blessing made the final foreshadowing for Li Chengzhong's seizure of imperial power. (To be continued..)
