A group of officials standing at the city gate preparing to welcome him looked at each other in confusion.
"Yes, he said that many soldiers have died in the war in the past few years, and he went to Baima Temple to pray for the soldiers for seven days." The guard replied respectfully.
The ministers had no choice but to come to Baima Temple to welcome him.
The road leading to the White Horse Temple was filled with heavily armed soldiers, looking at the ministers with vigilant eyes. It feels like singing the Hongmen Banquet.
At that time, the scenery of Baima Temple was very beautiful. There were many pomegranate trees growing on the mountain roads on both sides, and small pomegranates were hung one by one. They were not mature, but they looked very cute. The mountain roads are shady and the lush trees make people feel chilly.
??????????????????? But ministers, your hearts are uneasy.
Entering the White Horse Temple, he was not received. The guard reported that Li Wei was playing chess with the host.
Everyone had to stand.
About two people met their opponents in chess, and they played a game of chess for a long time. Everyone was tired from standing, and the guards came out to announce that Li Wei had let them in.
In the Zen room, there was not such a big Zen room, so the ministers had to stand in the courtyard. Those with high status squeezed under the two big trees in the courtyard, while those with lower status had to stand under the bright sun and let it bask in the sun. But everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor did this deliberately because he was very dissatisfied with them.
Li Wei came out with his hands behind his back, and the ministers paid homage. Li Wei helped them get up.
After the edict was issued, the system was reformed first.
All official systems were restored, and all the official systems established by Wu Zetian were overturned. Then the political hall was moved to Menxia Province again. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but after his mother's move, Li Wei reflected on it and realized the greatness of his grandfather.
It strengthens the power of the province, and it will also provide a good supervision over the throne. Because there is no decision-making power, only deliberation power, and a political hall is set up in each province, there will be no power minister. Of course, a system is a system. If the emperor is fatuous, no matter how good the system is, it cannot prevent the decline of the country.
"And in order to further restrict the imperial power, from now on, no edicts can be issued without the approval of the subordinate provinces. Since then, today¡¯s edict is not among them. However, in order to curb the expansion of the power of the provinces, Li Wei then resumed some of Li Shimin's practices and allowed officials from various ministries to participate in the discussions of the political hall. However, for the sake of simplicity, one or two parts are taught every day, or in prisons and temples. For example, today the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs are mainly matters, and the main officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs must go to the Provincial Political Affairs Hall to discuss matters.
??Democracy is no longer working, but we can maximize democracy in the current system.
Everyone looked at each other and did not dare to speak, but they all said in their hearts: In this way, the imperial power will be weakened invisibly. However, the position of servant has become very popular.
After the guard finished reading, Li Wei asked slowly, "Do you have any objections?"
"No." replied in unison.
Even some ministers with long-term vision can see the beauty in it. In this way, there is no obstacle to a wise king. Once a fatuous emperor appears, he can be restrained from the emperor's absurd behavior.
But it¡¯s still a system and it¡¯s dead. When faced with a cruel emperor who forcibly changed the system and concentrated power, leaving ministers in a weak position, there was still nothing they could do. Li Wei can't solve this either.
The guard then read the second edict. It's a personnel transfer.
The first is the Yulin Army, with Li Jinxing and Qi Ming as the generals of the Yulin Army. The machine of violence must be controlled.
Only then were the orders announced.
There was a vacancy in Zhongshuling. There was originally a best candidate, Li Yiyan, who was not talented but qualified, and was very loyal to him, but his mother ordered him to be executed. Di Renjie returned to his original position and continued to serve as a servant. There were originally two good candidates for the left and right, Wei Fangzhi and Su Liangsi. This time it was not their qualifications or talent, but their age. If Wei Yuanzhong were to be appointed as the chief minister, relatively speaking, both Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong would be too young.
But it doesn¡¯t matter. The posts of national truth and minister are often vacant. So it became vacant.
??Then when Zhu Jingze arrived, he was indeed a royal censor, with a third rank under the same sect.
The long list of appointments was not over yet, so Wei Siqian was appointed Minister of Rites to fill the vacancy left by Wu Chengsi. Pei Judao was still the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, but this time Li Wei appointed a person, Xu Yougong, as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments. This is a small person, no one noticed beforehand. However, Li Wei had been secretly paying attention to him and Zhang Jianzhi. As expected, the usage was equal and the people were happy to use it.
Everyone was surprised. It wasn¡¯t that Xu Yougong was young or in his early forties, but that he had only junior qualifications. Even at this age, he looks very young. After all, he is one of the six ministers. But under Li Wei's power, he didn't dare to refute.
Wei Xuantong was transferred back to Shu and served as the Minister of Rites, but with a slight? Dissatisfied, if these people were not ignorant at the time, Pei Yan would not have the authority to speak. Therefore, he was only awarded Pingzhangshi instead of the third rank of Tongzhongshu. Another person, Cen Changqian, did the same. He was recalled and served as Minister of the Ministry of War. Wu Sansi was dismissed from the post of Minister of War, but he did not mention what position he held. Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Wu Sansi. Wu Sansi didn't say anything and his face was very calm. They didn't know what he was thinking.
In fact, among all the martial arts, he is the only one who is the best when it comes to conspiracy, tricks and methods.
However, Cen Changqian was not granted the position of ambassador.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? For this assignment, Li Wei transferred Wei Yuanzhong to his side in advance.
Wei Zhigu served as the Minister of Household Affairs and was ranked third in the Zhongshu sect. First, he was talented and second, he was loyal.
Then Yao ¡ö was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. There was originally another candidate, Wei Hongji, who was asked to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry or to resume the position of Secretary Nongqing. However, Wei Hongji died of illness last year. There is nothing to be done. In fact, this person will be of great use in the Jiangnan development. Only he knows civil engineering best.
But the last two orders made all the officials stunned. All the six ministries had their cronies filled in, but the Zhongshu Province did not, so Yao Yuanchong was asked to return and serve as the Minister of Zhongshu. Although I know that he is the emperor's confidant, is he too young?
Qian couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate."
"Why is it inappropriate? Gan Luo became prime minister at the age of twelve. How old is Yao Yuanchong this year? Or do you think your talent is higher than him?" Li Wei said grimly.
Qian was so frightened that he dared not speak again.
He also read an order to appoint Zhang Jianzhi as Minister Zuocheng. This person may not be outstanding in talent, but he is very loyal to Li Tang's clan. With him in Shangshu Province, Li Wei can feel at ease in Shangshu Province.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUTOUT/????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT out a more unexpected mandate, allowing the unknown Song to take charge of the job. Many people are very confused. Who is this person?
No one disputed Ximen's appointment. He was the Weiwei Shaoqing, and there was another person. Li Wei had always remembered Pei Ji, a scholar who was a scholar in the past, so he took the opportunity to confer the position of Taichang Qing and transferred one person back. Huo Wang Li Yuangui served as Zong Zhengqing and controlled the clan.
The last order was given, which surprised everyone again.
Moved Du Jingjian to be the Minister of Dali Temple.
Some people know that this man was originally a censor in the palace, and was considered an imperial party, so he went out to serve as an official in Yizhou and joined the army. The heirs of the Sima Fang in Longzhou were moved to Yizhou. Officials established their authority and worked hard to stop Du Jingjian, so he became famous.
But isn¡¯t this promotion speed too fast? Like Yao Yuanchong, they can still understand that they are the emperor's confidants, who are given orders at the most critical moment, but
In fact, Li Weisi paid a lot of debt. Under the suppression of his mother, the officials in the court all turned traitor and became spineless. It was necessary to replace him with some fresh blood. I knew before that this person was very loyal to him, but he didn't deal with it in a roundabout way. It wasn't until the Fang Siye incident came out that Du Jingjian came into Li Wei's field of vision and asked people to secretly inquire about some of his deeds. It was discovered that this man behaved quite like Xu Yougong, so he was given this order. No matter how bad they are, they are still better than the group of weaklings in the court now.
And Li Wei also firmly believes that at least half of this batch of talents are real talents. Soon, with their help, the empire will show its vitality.
The next edict was to rehabilitate Li Xian's family. First, Li Xian's family was asked to return to the capital and Li Xianshu's son was knighted. He made new posthumous gifts to Liu Rengui and others, and even gave Pei Xingjian the posthumous title of Grand Master. When the guard read this, a touch of sadness and longing flashed in Li Wei's eyes. Liu Rengui was the Taibao, and Li Yiyan was the Taiwei. We will continue to rehabilitate those who were wrongfully killed, including Fan Lubing, and provide compensation to their families. The guard then closed the edict and stopped reading.
Many ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
This time the emperor appointed many important ministers to his confidants, allowing him to quickly control everything from the army to the three provinces and six ministries, and even to the temples. This is inevitable. They were worried that the emperor would punish them. There is no punishment, everyone is satisfied.
Li Jinxing and Qiming entered Luoyang City with their reliable guards and ministers, quickly replaced them and took control of Luoyang City.
Di Renjie and others also entered the court.
In the past, Di Renjie was just messing around in the court, but this time we can see Di Renjie's talent.
The mountains of memorials were disappearing as quickly as he was handling cases.
Not only Di Renjie but also Wei Yuanzhong's talents were also revealed, and everyone once again admired Li Wei's vision. Yao Yuanchong has not come back yet, but Song Dynasty finally came into people's sight, although he was very young., handling affairs, even the old officials are far behind.
Li Wei felt very funny about this and dialed a bit fast, but who was this? Fang Du in the front and Yao Song in the back are known as Yangchun with feet, and they bring spring breeze to the people wherever they go. He and Yao Yuanchong will be the mainstays of the future empire.
As prime ministers, the experience of these two people is still a little bit different, but one is a minister of Zhongshu and the other is a minister, which is more than enough.
Some prime ministers have not yet arrived, but after careful management by several people, the country gradually got on the right track, and Luoyang returned to peace. Li Wei then set off from White Horse Temple and entered Luoyang City.
Amid the cheers of all the people, he crossed the Tianjin Bridge and walked towards the palace.
The first thing is to say hello to Wu Zetian. Mother, I still have to talk about some things, but there are some things that need to be done more.
After so much painstaking effort and so much effort, how could it possibly end!
