Chapter 420: Legal Reform (Chapter 3)
Concubine Xian nodded and said, "If I can give birth to such a daughter, I will also spoil her like a jewel." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Mama's face turned pale, and she hurriedly said: "Don't you know that the eldest princess was not born to the first Taizu and the Empress Dowager Yang. ”
Concubine Xian hurriedly said, "What do you say, how is this possible?" ”
Mama looked at the doors and windows around her, and whispered: "The eldest princess is raised, and it is normal for you to be young and not know." This was not a secret more than 20 years ago, that is, no one mentioned it for more than 20 years. I think about the ...... back then."
Concubine Xian listened to the deeds of the eldest princess, and she admired and felt distressed.
Mama said: "Although the courage on the shoulders of the eldest princess is heavy, fortunately, there are many people who love her and love her. ”
Concubine Xian finally asked: "No, such a good person, who would not like her." So whose child is she? ”
Mama shook her head and said, "I'm afraid only the ancestors know about this." ”
By now, everything has changed.
Everyone thinks that even Huan Ji herself should not know her true life experience, and the most outrageous guess is: "Princess Taichang is the illegitimate daughter of the granddaughter of the former Taizu and Princess Taiping, Princess Taiping is the aunt of the former Taizu, and she was killed by the former Taizu with her own hands, so Princess Huanji's life experience can only be a mystery." ”
Three days later, in the morning, the court suddenly became calm about the new emperor's affairs, as if everyone agreed to canonize the twelve princes as the new emperor.
After these three days of waiting, several adult princes all took the initiative to give up the throne, and the people who supported the princes were no longer supporting the princes.
Except for the adults, the rest are young, and they are just the tallest among the short.
Once again, things ended unexpectedly for everyone.
Concubine Xian naturally became Empress Xian, and the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled, and Li Zhi, who was only three years old, ascended the throne.
The effect of the surroundings lamented that the opportunity was wrong, and the Empress Dowager Zeng and Concubine Ming, who were locked up, also knew the candidates for the new emperor.
Empress Dowager Zeng now can't figure out why the new emperor is the twelfth prince.
Three-year-old Li Zhi didn't understand what he was doing, he just thought he was playing, and it didn't take long for him to be unwilling.
Empress Dowager Xian had no choice but to hold the little emperor and sit on the dragon chair in person.
Originally, the Empress Dowager Xian wanted Huan Ji to hold the little emperor, and the civil and military officials thought the same, but who expected that Huan Ji would refuse.
Huan Ji said: "I think that position is hot. ”
The Manchu Dynasty civil and military people who said this are slandered in their hearts, and many people feel that Huan Ji set up a little emperor just to get closer to that position.
Qingzhou Marquis-Li Chuqing personally presented the book, saying that he would be loyal to the new emperor and send valuable congratulatory gifts.
Not long after, Wang Churan also sent a recital, saying that the Tang army supported the new emperor's accession to the throne, and waited for the new emperor to go to the Tang army garrison to review before he became an adult.
The surrounding neighboring countries have sent letters of ministers, expressing their willingness to continue to rely on the Tang Dynasty.
One courtier said, "Their mother and son are really good at pretending." ”

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager Xian is in charge of the harem, and Hu Dehai was ordered to go to the Empress Dowager Xian's palace to return the phoenix seal.
Empress Dowager Xian took the phoenix seal, knelt down and kowtowed to the door.
Hu Dehai stepped forward and said: "The Queen Mother can't be like this." ”
Empress Dowager Xian said: "The imperial aunt is an elder, and the mourning family should kowtow to her." What's more, the mourning family can have today, all thanks to the support of the imperial aunt, and the mourning family is not an ungrateful person. The royal aunt has any instructions, but it doesn't matter. ”
Hu Dehai hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother thought about it a lot, the eldest princess didn't explain anything to the minions, just asked the minions to return the phoenix seal." ”
As soon as Hu Dehai left, Mama pulled the Empress Dowager Xian and said, "Niangniang is doing this to ....."
Empress Dowager Xian shook her head and said, "You don't have to say it, the kindness of the eldest princess to help Zhi'er ascend the throne cannot be forgotten by the mourning family." Even if she wants to ****, the mourning family agrees, after all, Zhi'er is only three years old now. ”
Huan Ji asked the Empress Dowager if she wanted to go to court together, but the Empress Dowager Xian decisively refused.
Empress Dowager Xian said that she was just a woman in the palace, she didn't understand the government, and it was already the limit to manage the harem, but fortunately, there were no people in the harem now.
On the tenth day after the new emperor's accession to the throne, Huan Ji issued a new set of decrees.
Datang's three provinces, six ministries, supervisory organs, and administrative organs were all abolished.
The three provinces are: Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province;
The six departments are: the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry;
The supervisory authority is the Imperial Historical Observatory;
The administrative organs include nine temples, five prisons, guards, and armies;
And Zhuwei and Zhujun were abolished one after another in the ten years after the establishment of the Tang Army, and now they are just idle posts.
Huan Ji redivided the imperial court into the emperor, the cabinet, the upper house, and the lower house.
The emperor was the head of state, the chief of the highest judiciary, the commander-in-chief of the Don army, and the supreme leader of the parliament.
He formally has the power to appoint and dismiss the Prime Minister, ministers, senior judges, military officers, governors of the states, diplomats, etc.
The emperor can be an independent position, he has the power to convene, stop and dissolve parliament, approve laws, declare war, etc
The emperor represents the image and quality of the Tang Dynasty, and controls the army, but the real power is in the cabinet.
The Cabinet is the leader of the political party who has won the majority of seats in the parliamentary elections appointed by the emperor as the prime minister and forms a cabinet, which is accountable to the parliament.
Parliament is the highest judicial and legislative body, consisting of the Emperor, the Upper House and the Lower House.
The Upper House (House of Lords) is composed of royal descendants, hereditary nobles, newly feuded nobles, and judges of the Court of Appeal.
The lower house is also called the civilian house, and the members are elected by ****, and the election system of small constituencies with the most votes is adopted, and the term of office is five years.
However, states and provinces can decide on early elections.
The cantons and provinces also have a cabinet system, and the local administration is all elected by the people of each place, although the slaves do not have this right now.
Huanji also attached a bill abolishing slavery, which would be enacted when the time came. Today's law is sealed, and the emperors of the past dynasties cannot read it until 500 years later, and it is up to the authorities to decide whether to implement it.
Huan Ji sincerely hopes that everyone will be equal in 500 years.
The Chinese religion of the Tang Dynasty is mainly Buddhism, encouraging the people to do good. She believes that it is impossible to do without faith, and she encourages other faiths.
There was an additional department in the legal apparatus called the jury, which was made up of people from all over the country on an ad hoc basis.
All they have to do is listen to the trial of the case and express their opinion. The presiding judge shall deal with the accused according to the wishes of the people.
As soon as Huanji's cabinet council system was promulgated, the Manchu Dynasty was boiling with civil and military affairs.
The relatives of the emperor were optimistic about their own interests and expressed their approval. Some people also privately praised Huan Ji for being kind.
As everyone knows, Huan Ji also drafted another council charter in private. (To be continued.) )
