Chapter 481 The Great Era, the New Era (Grand Finale)
"On that day, we had a decisive battle with Dashi. The battlefield was changing rapidly. I and thousands of my guards lost their way. Finally, I entered Tubo from Tocharo and returned to the capital via Hezhou and Qinghai. I summoned Guo Ziyi in Hezhou. I went to the great victory and headed west. The army is about to return, take your positions. Chen Xilie!"
"I'm here!"
"Publish my decree, order all troops and horses to return to each town, and reward the soldiers of the three armies."
"Canonize Guo Ziyi as the King of Lingwu County, plus the Minister of Zhuguo and the Ministry of War."
"Nan Jiyun canonized as Minister of the Ministry of War and promoted to General Shence."
"Lei Wanchun canonized as Minister of the Ministry of War, Jin Dynasty as Yingwu General."
"Li Siye was canonized as Minister of War, and Jin was granted the title of General Shenwu."
"Added Pu Gu Huai'en, Chang Qing, and Yang Lian as dukes, and granted their eldest son the title of marquis."
"Zhang Xun was canonized as the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the same as Zhongshu's Pingzhangshi. Zhang Liang, the eldest son of Zhang Xun, was given the title of Ruyi Bo."
"Chen Tong canonized as Minister of Rites and Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian."
"Yan Zhenqing is canonized as Marquis of the Protector of the Country and appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. All other positions remain as before."
"The Uighur Khan Guli Peiluo was enthroned as King of Yongping, and the Uighur prince Ge Le was appointed as the Yongping County Prince. He retained the title of the Uighur state, but the imperial court established the Uighur Governor's Office in Uighur and garrisoned the army."
"The list of others will be drawn up by the Ministry of War, and I will confer meritorious ministers one by one in ten days."
"In addition, the canonization of the kings of the Western Regions will also be carried out at the same time."
As soon as Zhang Xuan finished speaking, Yang Guozhong and Yang Qi turned pale, their legs became weak, and they almost collapsed to the ground.
Although the emperor never looked at the two of them, he dismissed them from office in the form of awards to others.
After the canonization was completed, Zhang Xuan turned his head coldly and looked at Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao, but his heart was very calm.
"Two imperial uncles, please go back to your mansion. I am in Chang'an and will build two mansions for you. I will return to Chang'an to support my old age and will no longer participate in government affairs." Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, stood up suddenly and walked away.
"Retreat!"
With the little eunuch¡¯s cry, Zhang Jiuming, Zhang Jiugao, Yang Guozhong and Yang Qi collapsed to the ground together.

On the tenth day of April in the fourth year of Yongning, there was a great meeting.
Ten days ago, Zhang Tong, the military commander of Fanyang Town, personally escorted Li Tan and dozens of other rebels, along with nearly a thousand of their family members, back to Beijing to await the emperor's disposal.
Based on the time, Zhang Tong captured Li Tan and others before the emperor returned to Beijing to make a public appearance. In other words, in this big exam, Zhang Tong passed the test, although it was a bit of a fluke.
Zhang Tong also had hesitation and hesitation, and was almost persuaded by Li Tan. But after all, Zhang Tong had been following the emperor for a long time, and he knew that his majesty was wise and mighty and was a man of destiny, and he would not "die" so easily. Even if the emperor dies, Zhang Tong cannot afford to act as a vanguard for a clown like Li Tan.
Therefore, Zhang Tong took a certain risk - because the Zhang family was involved with Li Tan's rebel party, he resolutely arrested Li Tan and others and escorted them to Beijing in a prison car to show his attitude.
On the way, he heard a series of news that the emperor openly returned to Beijing, that the two emperor uncles Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao were deprived of their titles as county princes and demoted back to Chang'an for retirement, and that Yang Guozhong, Yang Qi and other Yang family members were driven out of the court and dismissed from office to serve the people. , secretly thinking it was a fluke, sweating again and again.
The emperor did not hold Zhang Tong accountable, and even encouraged him with rewards and gave him a lot of land, gold and silver.
And 56 people, including Li Tan and Cheng Qianli, were beheaded for treason. Zhang Liangdi and more than ten Zhang family members were exiled to the bitter cold of the Bohai Sea and never returned to Beijing.
Since then, the world has been stable, and both the government and the public have been at peace.
On May 15th of the fourth year of Yongning, Zhang Xun returned to Beijing with Dashi envoys and reported on negotiations with Dashi and the establishment of a non-aggression treaty and other matters.
In June of the fourth year of Yongning, at the great court meeting, the emperor issued an edict, changing the country into 30 administrative provinces, and establishing 11 military governors' offices - rearranging the country's troops and horses, and sending troops to the northwest and southwest, the Bohai Sea, and Control at Mobei and other border lines. As for the various provinces in the interior, local military regions were established based on actual conditions. The number of troops stationed was determined by the Ministry of War and reported to the emperor for approval.
In this way, the original local vassal town was canceled in disguise. Within the border lines and within the national borders, there are only government offices at all levels in administrative regions that obey the leadership of the central government, and there are no military cliques.
In July of the fourth year of Yongning, the emperor once again issued an edict to reform the government and promote??The central court office operates around the clock, while the emperor himself maintains the established morning dynasty and adds a noon dynasty.
In August of the fourth year of Yongning, the emperor issued an edict to reward fertility and promote business and promote agriculture. Across the country, fertility was encouraged, land reclamation and commercial trade were encouraged, which greatly improved the social status of merchants.
In September of the fourth year of Yongning, the imperial court established Enke to recruit scholars, and selected nearly a thousand officials to go to all provinces, prefectures and counties across the country.
At the end of the fourth year of Yongning, the emperor issued the "Order to Establish Government-run Schools", setting up 100 government-run literature schools and martial arts academies in the capital and various provinces, and selecting outstanding talents to study and train in them. This education system became a useful supplement to the imperial examination system.
At the beginning of the fifth year of Yongning, Guo Ziyi was ordered to lead an army of 200,000 to conquer Nanzhao. In September of the fifth year, Nanzhao was defeated.
In November of the fifth year of Yongning, the imperial court merged Nanzhao into Jiannan Road and changed its name to Southwest Province. An Sishun served as the top military and political officer.

Zhang Xuan¡¯s governance is not divorced from social reality. He is changing the country bit by bit with his personal power.
The world has entered a great era of recuperation, prosperity and rapid development of the country and the people, and has entered a new era of the Chinese Empire.
In the blink of an eye, it¡¯s been five years.
On July 11, the ninth year of Yongning, the imperial study room.
Zhang Xuan put down the books in his hands and slowly raised his head to look at his eldest son Zhang Qian who was standing in front of his desk with a childish look on his face. The ten-year-old Zhang Qian had a slender figure and handsome features. He looked a bit like Zhang Xuan when he was a teenager. .
"Gan'er, have you read the book I asked you to read? Tell me what you think."
Zhang Qian lowered his head and looked at a book he was holding in his hand. This was a book his father spent a year writing on his own, called "People-Family-Country". Although it is called a book, it is actually a unique exposition of many political, economic, military, social and other issues by Zhang Xuan, a time traveler, who integrates modern thoughts with the reality of this era. It is equivalent to a collection of essays.
"I would like to report to you, my father, that I am a dull boy. I have only read three articles and still have a little understanding." Zhang Qian's voice was clear, but very well-mannered, and he seemed much more mature than other children of the same age. In the past few years, Zhang Xuan not only asked Zhang Qian to learn from Zhang Xun the classics, history, literature and etiquette of this era, but also dedicated time to teach him personally.
"Let's talk about it." Zhang Xuan said with a slight smile.
"The sage said that the king is the most important, the country is the second most important, and the people are the most important. The old saying also says that a king should be diligent and love the people. It can be seen that a wise king is the foundation for the prosperity of the world. But my father said in the book that law and discipline are supreme, and there are There is a country according to the law, regardless of whether there is a wise king or not. My son is very confused about this, so I ask my father to enlighten me." Although Zhang Qian is only ten years old, he has a calm demeanor and a measured manner.
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "Qian'er, you said it very well. My father is very pleased that you can think of this problem. You are still young, and there are some truths that my father will gradually teach you in the future. But my father wants you to know it from an early age. We must establish this concept: the more powerful a country is, the more it needs to adhere to the rule of law and govern the country according to the law. The legal system is the foundation of a country. You will understand this truth in the future. No matter how capable an emperor is, he only has his own power. To govern a country well requires a complete set of advanced systems and an efficient, honest and diligent government agency, rather than relying on the ability of any one person."
"No matter how powerful my father is, he can't manage this country well. No matter how powerful your teacher Zhang Xun is, he can't keep the court running alone Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"My son I understand!" Zhang Qian nodded with half-understanding, but there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.
Zhang Xuan laughed loudly and patted Zhang Qian on the shoulder.
At this time, the eunuch came to report respectfully: "Your Majesty, one hundred and twenty-three people, including khans from various countries, kings of various vassal countries, and food envoys, have gathered in the Wenhua Hall to request an audience with your Majesty."
Zhang Xuan shook his head, "The kings from all over the world came to pay homage to the great state of China, not me, the emperor. I won't see them anymore, and let Zhang Xun and Guo Ziyi hold a banquet on my behalf in the Wenhua Hall to entertain them. Announce my edict, this year The reciprocal gifts given to the kings and vassal states will be halved again. Don¡¯t let these people regard me and the Chinese Empire as an inexhaustible treasure trove. Well, step back.¡±
The eunuch felt ashamed, thinking that the gifts given to various countries were already very small, and if they were halved again, wouldn't it be too damaging to the court's dignity? But when the emperor said this, how could he dare to refute it? He responded repeatedly and followed the order.
Zhang Xuan turned around and saw Zhang Gan looking at him thoughtfully. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Qian'er, let's go out of the city to hunt with our father!"
¡¡
¡¡
At noon, Guo Ziyi and Zhang Xun, the two prime ministers of the dynasty, hosted banquets for kings and guests from various countries on behalf of the Chinese dynasty.The emphasis is on representing the imperial court rather than the emperor personally. This shows that the emperor is gradually promoting a certain idea to the whole world.
During the feast in the palace, Emperor Zhang Xuan quietly left the city with his queen, concubines, more than ten princes and princesses, and dozens of people, guarded by two thousand forbidden troops, and headed for Lishan Mountain.
The scorching sun and heat wave in summer were overwhelming. Zhang Xuan was wearing a casual robe astride a horse. Beside him, the concubines who could ride horses such as Li Tengkong, Feng Ming, Su Hudong, Guo Fu, Zhuoma and other girls were all wearing bright clothes and tight horses. Followed by. Queen Cui Ying and others were riding behind with their young princes and daughters.
Zhang Xuan galloped away first, raising his whip.
Li Tengkong, Guo Fu and the other girls looked at each other and smiled, then they clamped the horse's belly tightly and chased after it.
Cui Ying looked enviously at the emperor and his entourage who were galloping away in the car, but she heard a childish voice coming from the side of the car: "Mother, I want to catch up with my father on horseback, is it possible?"
Cui Ying was startled and smiled gently, "Qian'er, you are still youngit won't be too late to learn riding next year!"

Finally finished the book, Lao Yu felt relieved. After going back and forth between official articles and historical articles several times, Laoyu had to admit that he preferred and was better at writing official articles. The weight of history made Lao Yu a little lost and felt powerless. Again, whether you can write well depends on your ability, and whether you want to write well depends on your attitude. Lao Yu believes that his attitude is extremely correct.
?The following is the recommendation of the new book. Laoyu's official website is quite good. It has life and fun, and is definitely more interesting than history. I beg brothers and sisters to come over and support Lao Yu¡¯s new book. Thank you all!
