On the first day of the first lunar month of the third year of Guangqi, Li Rupei officially ascended the throne and became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty recognized by the world. The enthronement ceremony should have been very grand, but under Li Rupei's insistence, everything was kept simple. Li Rupei¡¯s first edict clearly identified the main officials of the imperial court and local areas. This edict alone caused shock in the government and the public, making everyone feel that something was unusual. Cui Anqian was canonized as the Crown Prince and Grand Master, Shangshu Zuopushe, Zheng Congyun was canonized as the Crown Prince and Grand Tutor and Zhongshu Ling, Liu Yunzhang was canonized as the Crown Prince and Taibao and the Attendant, and Gao Chibang was canonized as the Crown Prince and Grand Governor, and the General of the Iron-Blooded Army. , Qian Shiqu was canonized as the Prince's Young Master and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Yu Chenghui was canonized as the Prince Shaobao and the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Cui Shenyou was canonized as the Prince's Young Master and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the above people formed the cabinet and were among the imperial court The prime minister of the country, Cui Anqian, was the first prime minister of the imperial court. Restore the political affairs hall discussion system. All major national affairs must be discussed and decided by the political affairs hall and then reported to the emperor for approval. Cui Anqian is responsible for convening the political affairs hall. Yan Fu becomes the minister of the Ministry of War, Ma Haoxuan becomes the minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Kan Zeyu becomes the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Huang Biao, Song Hu, Zhao Laibao and Zhu Wen were canonized as middle governors, while Qin Erhei, Yang Xingmi and Qian Mi were canonized as lower governors. Restore the division of various roads in the early Tang Dynasty. There were thirteen roads in the Tang Dynasty. The original Tubo Road was set up as Tibet Road. The original Turks were set up as Xinjiang Road. Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road were merged into Shannan Road. Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan East Road were merged into Jiangnan Road. , the remaining are Jiannan Road, Lingnan Road, Huainan Road, Qianzhong Road, Longyou Road, Henan Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road, and Guanzhong Road. Each province has a Jiedushi envoy, who represents the imperial court and has jurisdiction over local civil affairs, food, prisons and many other matters. He is not allowed to interfere in military and political affairs, let alone have an army. ?? Cui Yanchong was appointed as the military governor of Qianzhong Road, Lu Sheng'an was appointed as the military governor of Longyou Road, and Qin Erhei was also appointed as the military governor of Tibet Road. The remaining positions where Jiedushi positions have not been set up are temporarily vacant. Li Rupei¡¯s second edict was about the establishment of the harem. The setting up of the harem will follow the previous principles and no major adjustments will be made. However, on the basis of the previous four ladies, a good concubine will be added and merged into the fifth lady. Cui Hanlei is the queen and controls many things in the harem. Cui Qiuyue is a noble concubine. Yu Yurong is the concubine Shu, Yu Lianhan is the concubine virtuous, Fan Ruonan is the concubine virtuous, and Wang Miaotong is the concubine good. As for the nine concubines, Jieyu, beauty, gifted scholar, Baolin, imperial daughter, Cainv, etc. under the fifth wife, they are all vacant. The two edicts caused a great shock. All the key positions in the imperial court were held by Li Rupei, including officials of third rank and above. Very few were left in office. At the same time, Li Rupei carried out large-scale layoffs of officials in the capital, and the Shangshu Province was responsible for this task. In all institutions in the capital, official positions are set up according to job requirements, and redundant personnel are eliminated. There is also an edict, which was issued at the strong request of Cui Anqian and others. It has not been issued yet, that is, Li Rupei made up his mind to streamline the officials of the Tang Dynasty, and originally set up civil and military officials. If all were abolished, the imperial court would not have so many idle people, and it was strictly prohibited to grant kings or titles. If this edict is issued, it will have a huge shock to the Tang Dynasty. In order to avoid large-scale fluctuations, Cui Anqian and others believe that under the current circumstances, it is not appropriate to issue this edict for the time being. Wait until various departments begin to operate normally. It will be much smoother to carry out large-scale assessment and dismissal of officials. Li Rupei did not particularly agree with this view. He believed that the edict he issued was actually a thorough reform of the Tang Dynasty. Since it was a reform, he should try his best to achieve it in one step. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain, not to mention there are many more There are many things that need to be done. Many times because there are too many things, some important things may be delayed or even forgotten. Moreover, the matter of dismissal of officials is a long-standing and difficult problem. However, he must also follow the following opinions. After all, things need to be done. Make it below. Among all the appointments, there was one appointment that exceeded everyone's expectations. Wang Shenzhi was appointed as the pastor of Jingzhao Prefecture. This is a very key position, controlling the affairs in and around the capital. It is also a very sensitive position. Li Rupei surprised everyone by awarding such an important position to the little-known Wang Shenzhi. Of course, the overall number of officials remains stable, especially the officials below the fourth rank. A large part of them have been retained. These officials perform their respective duties, but their work attitude needs to change dramatically. The kind of messing around cooking in the past is completely different. It doesn't work anymore. Because the stability of the lower-level officials was maintained, despite the chaos in the capital,There was a great shock, but the government at all levels remained stable. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. Li Rupei, who originally thought he would be able to relax, is actually miserable. There are too many things that require his approval. There are many empresses, concubines, princes, etc. of the former emperor Li Xuan, as well as the princes who stayed in the capital. How to arrange these people, even Cui Anqian didn't know what decision to make. After all, this was the most sensitive matter. Li Rupei proposed a principled handling opinion, which was to treat them kindly. He didn't want to be stigmatized. No matter what, He himself is also a descendant of the Li Tang royal family. Everyone was surprised by Li Rupei's attitude. Normally, these people were not suitable to stay in the capital. Cui Anqian, as the first prime minister, clearly expressed his opinion that the former emperor's concubines and princes could be relocated to Luoyang, the eastern capital. As for many princes, they could stay in the capital. Li Rupei agreed with this opinion, but made it clear that everyone must be treated kindly. The second is how to deal with the many eunuchs and maids. Li Rupei's harem is probably beyond the imagination of all emperors of the Tang Dynasty. There are six women around Li Rupei, Cui Hanlei was canonized as queen, and the other five are all wives. As for the nine There are no concubines, Jieyu, beauties, gifted men, Baolin, royal maidens or gifted maidens. There are currently only four children. The harem is empty. To serve these people, at most two hundred maids will be enough. , the other more than 800 maids had nothing to do, and the thousands of eunuchs had nothing to do. Li Rupei was very worried about this problem. There were so many people in the harem, which was a huge waste. The maids could let some of them get married, which was not a big problem. But the eunuchs were different. People with physical disabilities basically lost their ability to work. , if all these people are blasted out, most of them will wait to die. This is a problem left over from the system and can only be digested slowly. Most of the eunuchs were arranged to go to Luoyang, the eastern capital. Rather than being arranged, it was better to go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to eat and wait to die. There were also some eunuchs who were willing to go home. These eunuchs accumulated a lot of wealth, which was enough to live on. There are only more than 300 eunuchs staying in Daming Palace. Things in the palace should be handled by Cui Hanlei, but Cui Hanlei, who had just become the empress, was not as calm as Li Rupei. After arriving in Chang'an, the capital, Cui Hanlei was so excited that she caught a cold, which made Li Rupei She was very nervous. You should know that in this era, a small cold can kill someone. If something goes wrong with Cui Hanlei, who has just been canonized as queen, Li Rupei will really have nothing to say. After the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine, Li Rupei, who was very busy, took time to accompany Cui Hanlei. The two of them took a walk in Taiye Pond, which made Cui Hanlei slowly calm down. Her mood improved and her body recovered quickly. Soon, after the tenth day of the first lunar month, Cui Hanlei's body slowly recovered. However, after her body recovered, Cui Hanlei fully understood the situation in the harem and put forward her opinions, which made Li Rupei dumbfounded. Cui Hanlei mentioned two things. The first thing was that the emperor must choose a concubine. There are only six women around the emperor. This is unreasonable. If the people in the world are talking, they will not talk about the emperor. What they are talking about is the queen. This is something the queen needs to consider. The second thing is that there are not many maids and eunuchs in the harem. It can be too little, otherwise the Queen and Madam will need to do many things themselves. Li Rupei could only be vague about the opinions put forward by Cui Hanlei, especially on the issue of choosing a concubine. As for the people who would accompany his children, he also made clear requirements, and Li Chengbo's side was absolutely There cannot be personal eunuchs, and the number of palace maids must be limited. Li Chengbo must do things he can do by himself. There cannot be ambiguity in this aspect. At the same time, Li Chengbo must start to strengthen his studies. After he is ten years old, he will start to study in the palace. Traveling around the Tang Dynasty, he truly understood the sufferings of ordinary people's lives. There are too many things that need to be dealt with in the capital. Many things cannot be completely handled in a short time. That is unrealistic and an impossible task. Many things can only be done slowly. However, Li Rupei is very strict about the things that should be focused on. For example, matters involving people's livelihood, this must not be vague. It is the spring plowing season soon, and the farming season must not be delayed. The second is the garrison of the Iron Blood Army. Longyou Road, Shannan Road, Jiangnan Road, Lingnan Road, Jiannan Road, Tibet Road and the eastern capital Luoyang all have garrisons. The garrison in each place is capped at 20,000 people, of which 5,000 iron bloods are stationed in Tibet Road and the eastern capital Luoyang. Army officers and soldiers, 20,000 Iron-blooded Army officers and soldiers are stationed in Longyou Road, Lingnan Road and Jiangnan Road, and 10,000 Iron-blooded Army officers and soldiers are stationed in other places. The remaining 110,000 Iron-blooded Army officers and soldiers are stationed in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and 10,000 people are drawn from them. ??? stationed in the capital, responsible for the security of the Daming Palace and the Imperial Palace, and the defense of the capital.
