I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 147 The Shabby Enthronement Ceremony

Tai Chi Hall, the scene fell into a moment of silence.

However, there is one person who is very special. As the generalissimo of the court, Qin Qiong seems to be indifferent to the whole war, and only does what he should do, even at this moment, standing alone in the court.

Not only was Li Ke not charged with the crime, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Your servant, Qin Qiong, was honored by the late emperor and named Hu Guogong. Now that he is too old to guard the country, he will put down his gold seal and general robe today, and return home when he is old."

After speaking, he directly took off his armor, untied the tiger talisman and the big seal, turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

It was clear to everyone that even without military power, Qin Qiong was still not something others dared to offend.

Because, Hu Guogong's title is still there, and Hu Guogong's mansion is still there!
And Luoyang is the base camp.

"Wait a minute, General Qin, don't you think I shouldn't be the new emperor?"

"The veteran is already an outsider and does not participate in any government or military affairs."

Qin Qiong paused and continued to walk forward.

Seeing this majestic figure, all the ministers were completely desperate and fell silent.

At present, the most powerful and powerful people have given up, what can they do?

For a group of civil servants, it would be a fart to change the dynasty.

"Who else wants to go, I will never stop!"

"Chen, as an official of Zhongshu Province, he is in charge of confidentiality, but he failed to do his duty faithfully. The old minister begged the third prince to agree and promise to return to his hometown!"

This old minister, who inherited two emperors, is in charge of Zhongshu Province, one of the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty.

The rights can be described as great!

However, he was still unwilling to recognize Li Ke as the emperor, and he didn't even change his title.

"Okay, I promise!"

Li Ke's tone was gloomy, and he didn't intend to hold back at all.

The old minister turned around and left, spurting out a mouthful of blood within a few steps.

"grown ups!"

Several subordinate officials immediately ran over, helped him up, and then knelt at the entrance of the Tai Chi Hall, crying and crying.

"The third prince forgives your sins. Teacher Weichen is not feeling well. I beg you to resign and go back to your hometown to take care of your family and teacher."

"I implore the third prince to agree!"

"Yes!" Li Ke still agreed.

One after another, seven people left, and they were one of the three provinces of politicians.

Another veteran came out, he was the person in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

"The old minister is guilty, and the Ministry of Rites is in charge of measuring bad and good fortune. It is in charge of scientific research and foreign diplomacy. In the current situation, the Ministry of Rites cannot shirk its responsibility. I implore the third prince to agree, and the guilty minister will return to his hometown!"

"allow!"

One of the six, gone.

Next, another official left, who was in charge of the Ministry of War, which was an important department.

Especially in the face of the current way of warfare, the Ministry of War is responsible for the manufacture of armaments, army management, and military order processing.

Li Ke still let him leave, because he wanted to reorganize and strengthen the management of this department, and let someone he trust take office.

A dozen or so people walked away without any difficulty.

All the ministers panicked. Such things happened in the past dynasties, and the courtiers would definitely not end well.

But this time it's different
"Everyone, who else wants to leave?"

The atmosphere at the scene fell into an eerie silence.

No one is daring to speak.

After a while.
Li Ke stood up, with an angry expression on his face, "The courtiers don't think about the country, and they don't know how to combine external changes to change the inside, but they still continue the tradition of internal fighting, which leads to the ruin of fame!

How many of the veterans who left the group before were clean?

And among you, who is clean?
I don't want to pursue it, but I won't just let it go, the court wants to restructure! "

When the voice fell, all the ministers were surprised.

Restructuring, this is not a sentence, but will be implicated from top to bottom.

In today's chaotic situation, if it is carried out directly, it will inevitably lead to problems.

Gao Shilian knew it best, and stood up: "Your Majesty, I believe that the current situation is to stabilize the people and restore the majesty of the palace!"

"Sure, but I will ask Taiwei Gao to take care of the officials' supplements and so on."

"The old minister understands."

Gao Shilian's position remains unchanged, but his real power is fully reflected at this moment.

Everyone understood that the new emperor was a puppet.

He, Gao Shilian, is the real emperor behind the scenes!
"Your Majesty, I think that according to the usual practice, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the remaining princes and others must be named kings, and the enthronement ceremony will be held."

Hearing this, Li Ke frowned, looking a little displeased.

However, he couldn't refuse.

"allow!"

After speaking, he turned and left to deal with the aftermath.

In just one day, without knowing how the court did it, the whole Chang'an suddenly became quiet.

Repair and tidy up everywhere, change the chaos of the war the day before yesterday, and decorate everywhere.

Gao Shilian was personally responsible for preparing for the enthronement ceremony.

As for Li Tai, he has been placed under house arrest alone in the palace, and it is estimated that he will never get out in his life.

Li Ke's enthronement ceremony is very simple, it can be said to be the simplest and most rigorous in all dynasties.

The shabby enthronement ceremony did not even have enough courtiers.

There are no cheers from the people, no majesty of the army, no royal family to drink, no sacrifices, everything seems to be a formality.

According to etiquette, the enthronement ceremony lasted at least one month, but it ended in just a few hours.

There is no time to waste, let alone time to arrange slowly.

Therefore, this enthronement ceremony is just a pretext, just let the world recognize Li Ke's identity.

There was no time to change the year name, and the previous dynasty was still used. As for the title of king to the prince, these things were directly suppressed.

With nominal recognition, it is much easier to do things.

Li Ke had thought of all this a long time ago, and didn't care, what he wanted was the world!
Gao Shilian became a Taiwei and was also the emperor's teacher.

The rest of the courtiers, almost all confidantes, each received a new official position.

The first official government has begun, but the number of people is still insufficient.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the city wall of Chang'an is dilapidated and there are no natural dangers to defend, so we should step up repairs."

Li Ke agreed, because he had no right to be responsible for the money matter, and Gao Shilian was behind everything.

"The new emperor ascends the throne, and the prince bestows rewards, His Majesty needs to issue three decrees"

Several princes were crowned kings, but they were famous but had no power and no soldiers. Only Li Ke and Li Tai were powerful in the entire Li family.

Li Tai is gone, leaving only the current emperor Li Ke.

Then, the rest of the people are just eating the imperial rations and waiting to die.

The most wonderful thing is the fifth imperial decree, which gathers a large army to show its majesty.

In fact, Li Ke and Gao Shilian have endured the chaos in Lingzhou for too long, and finally have the opportunity to humiliate each other!

"Your Majesty, it is obviously impossible to capture Youzhou, but it is not impossible if Your Majesty launches a strong attack. Just wait until you enter the border and attack directly."

The two were planning in the imperial study.

Gao Shilian was extremely sinister, he did not directly attack Youzhou, but chose relatively important Puzhou.
