Chapter 398: The Sect Dies

The sharp strength of the ups and downs of the knives, and now all the knives are still uncoiled. Every Tang knife hand here has the strength of a brute bull, and the power of brute force is matched with this blowing knife, just like cutting wheat, reaping human lives wantonly and happily.

The war is over, this palace coup is over, Duan Mingyu's last chess piece played a perfect role, this army was lent to Yang Fugong by Duan Mingyu in the battle of Shou Chūn, the soldiers under his command only obeyed Duan Mingyu's orders, Yang Fugong generally did not interfere in this army, at this last moment, no one thought that the famous Tang Dao Formation would become a powerful bargaining chip for Dingding.

"Your Majesty!" Yang Fugong knelt in front of Li Yi and shouted tremblingly.

"Yang Aiqing, you and I are a minister, can you obey this last will?" Li Yi's eyes are blood-red, his face is black, the poison is too deep, and it is difficult for the gods to save his life, "Since I ascended the throne, I have been ashamed of my ancestors, I have failed my father, and now the prince is young, I want to return to Chang'an, and pass on to the seventh brother, Qizhou Yiying Army is temporarily led by Song Tong, Tong!" ”

"The last general!" Song Tong's whole body made a sound of nail leaves, and he stepped forward and bowed his head to listen to his will.

"This time you have made a great contribution, Li Changfu has been awarded the head, I named you the envoy of the Longyou Festival, and gave the name Li Maozhen, I hope that the Qing family will not be the second Li Changfu ......"

"The last general will die in Datang, and he will die in Sheji!"

Li Yi in the last moment of his life, actually showed a strong vitality, Li Yi drove from Qizhou to Chang'an although he has been unconscious, until outside Chang'an City, the Seven Princes greeted each other at Weiqiao, Li Yi woke up.

"Brother Huang!" The seventh prince Li Jie saw Li Yi's skinny appearance, and couldn't help but burst into tears, although the imperial brother was a mess in political affairs, but after all, he was a flesh and blood brother, and the two brothers held each other's hands tightly at this moment.

"Seventh brother, the burden of being a brother will be handed over to you, and ...... for your brother" Li Yi seemed to have a thousand words to say, but he didn't come up in one breath, and he passed away suddenly.

Three days later, the new emperor ascended the throne.

The mourning hall is white, but the Jinluan Hall has restored its glorious appearance. The royal family is not as good as the ordinary people's family, and family affairs are also state affairs, and the new emperor's accession to the throne is a big rì that the whole country celebrates, and it can neither delay nor bring out a trace of bad luck.

The enthronement hall is very grand, from the inner court, the outer court, and then to the Niumen, the royal street, all the spiritual sheds have been removed from the white silk, replaced with colored silk, decorated with flowers, only the mourning hall is still with filial piety, wearing white clothes, tying white ribbons of the palace people, the inner servants are also temporarily restrained in the mourning hall, and they are not allowed to move around during the ceremony.

The new emperor ascended the throne, the military officials, the emperor's relatives, and the old ministers, each in order, entered the palace in turn, paid homage and saluted, and the mountain shouted long live, Li Jie carefully put his ass on the emperor's throne, and his heart was finally more steady.

Today, all eyes are on him, and he is the only protagonist. His every move, every word and deed is adhering to the will of heaven, he is the emperor on the high, looking at the ministers kneeling down the imperial steps, he is like a god on the top, looking down at the ants under his feet, that feeling, it is really fluttering yù immortal.

Visiting the new monarch has stopped, Jiang Xuanhui, Cui Yin, Kong Wei, Zhang Jun, Du Rangneng and other important ministers of the court are leading the book, the door, the privy council and the two palaces and one court, the six departments, and the nine Qingjin to ask His Majesty to change the name of the year.

According to the old example, in the year of the death of the first emperor, the year name is not changed, and the new emperor will set up a new era name on the first month of the following year, but if the old era name is still used, it will be one more year for the current Tang Dynasty to fall into the shadow of yīn, and it will not be able to carry out drastic reforms, so he can't take care of the ancient system and old rites.

Immediately, Li Jie changed his name again.

His real name is Li Jie, and the Seventh Prince secretly invited a famous physiognomy in Beijing to come up with a new name for himself, a single name Ye, and in the future, Li Jie will be called Li Ye.

Tang rejuvenated the country with fire and virtue, this Ye word Hua has rì, which is in line with the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, in his opinion, it is auspicious, although the fate of Feng Shui is a bit false after all, but for Li Ye, who is eager to consolidate his power, he is now tireless of everything that can be poetic, and he is as good as a stream.

After the name of the year and the name were given, then the amnesty was granted to the world, the new policy was promulgated, the new emperor's grace was mighty, and the rain and dew were all over the world.

At the same time, the chūn imperial examination was being carried out intensively, and Li Ye decreed that the number of students admitted to each subject was expanded by ten or even a hundred times from the dozens of people per examination during the time of Emperor Taizong, reaching hundreds or even thousands, and stipulated that from now on, this example will be followed. Naturally, this move was warmly supported by thousands of scholars and their families who crossed the single-plank bridge and only sought to enter the government.

In the imperial examination, the jinshi of the same subject and the first department call each other the same year, and call the examiner the seat master, seat teacher or enmen, and call themselves protégés. In this way, a very special teacher-student relationship has been established between the new jinshi and the chief examiner, and the new jinshi often regards his pass as a kind of kindness to himself and is grateful to Dade, so the imperial examination has become a channel for the chief examiner to form a party for personal gain, establish and cultivate his own power, and the Niu Li party struggle in the late Tang Dynasty is an example.

In view of this, Li Ye transferred the power to decide whether candidates can be admitted to his own hands, thus forming the third level of the imperial examination: the palace examination. The emperor became the final examiner, became the benevolent door of all the new jinshi, and all the new jinshi became the emperor's students and the protégés of the Son of Heaven, and the object of their gratitude to Dade could only be the emperor. In this way, the emperor firmly grasped the power of the imperial examination in his hands.

Li Ye vigorously expanded the number of scholars, and added a lot of fresh blood to the ranks of eunuchs, and these scholars will all serve in the government in the future, which is equivalent to mastering a huge contingent of reserve officials loyal to him at once. This hand is very wonderful, and the contributors are Duan Mingyu and Kong Wei, who is about to become the new prime minister.

Immediately, Li Ye rewarded the ministers on a large scale.

Of course, the generals who are on expeditions abroad have rewards, and Chaowu is no exception, Kong Wei, Zhang Jun, Du Rangneng and others have all been promoted to the rank of knight, and those who have been promoted have not been promoted, they will be added to the rank and knight, and their sons and grandchildren and nephews will be promoted to officials.

Duan Mingyu was also promoted, from a third-class prince to a first-class prince, King Jing was changed to King Song, and concurrently served as the world's soldiers and horses to recruit envoys, the crown prince Shaobao, this time the son is really in power.
