Chapter 10 Vertical arch rule
It seems harsh to use a lifetime to atone for sins, but it is actually very light.
It is Li Xian's fault that involves the death of an emperor, that is, the treatment that Li Xian can only apply for with his special status.
If it were someone else, he would have been beheaded all over the house a long time ago, even if he punished the nine clans, it would not be too much.
This is also due to Li Xian's own perfect personality, after resigning from the prince, he was intoxicated with music and rhythm, but he asked about the court.
At the same time, Pei Min's current prestige is in the limelight, and there is no difference for a while, which is why this matter is suppressed.
Li Longji's death did not have much impact on the Tang Dynasty.
After all, it is now a peaceful and prosperous era, and the world is peaceful, and before his death, Li Longji once again showed the demeanor of his generation of Ming monarchs, and transferred Pei Min and Li Yi, two military bigwigs, to the temple to assist the government.
Li Yan's accession to the throne did not have any twists and turns, and he smoothly became the new monarch of the Tang Dynasty.
The death of the emperor was not as complicated as imagined.
Because of the major affairs of the family and the country, it is impossible to leave it undealt with for a day.
Therefore, the kings of the past dynasties were very casual in dealing with the aftermath of their deaths.
Li Longji went to the funeral on the seventh day after his death, and the major military affairs were not affected by the funeral, and ordinary leisure work was also carried out as usual.
Pei Min Shangshu Ling was originally the head of the civil ministers, but the crown prince succeeded to the throne, and the status of the auxiliary minister took effect.
On top of this temple, Pei Min is even more dominant.
Especially Li Yan, he is a little inactive, he doesn't care about military affairs, and lets Pei Min do it, precisely because of this, the succession to the throne of the Tang Dynasty is not turbulent at all.
At this time, the government was a bit like the record in "Shangshu Wucheng": believe in righteousness, respect virtue and repay merit, and rule the world with vertical arches.
It means that the ruler does not have to do anything, but can make the world peaceful, which is the highest state of inaction.
The political environment in which the Confucian sages praised was virtually realized at this moment.
Li Yan didn't care about anything, and the burden of militarism was on Pei Min.
And Pei Minwu has the backing of Wang Zhonghei, Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi, and Ge Shuhan, and Wen has Song Jing, Zhang Jiuling, Du Xian, and Wang Hui as henchmen.
Yuan Qianyao is a peacemaker, he only promises to Pei Min, Li Yuanhong is too busy to take care of himself, where does he dare to disobey Pei Min?
Li Yi, the only one who can argue with Pei Min, was also impressed by Pei Min's personality charm and did his best to deal with the military reform in Chang'an Gyeonggi.
In this situation, Pei Min is almost equivalent to the uncrowned king of the Tang Dynasty, and the military and political orders are decided by him.
I have to deal with all kinds of things every day......
Actually, at the beginning.
The civil and military officials still pinned their hopes on the new emperor.
Individual ministers of civil and military affairs who have ideas find a sense of existence in front of Li Yan with various military affairs all day long.
After all, the new emperor has a new atmosphere, if his talent is favored by the new emperor, he will soar, and it will be just around the corner.
And according to common sense, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he needs the old ministers to consolidate and stabilize the country, and he also needs the new ministers to contain the old ministers and fight for his own interests.
There are not many ministers who have this in mind.
Outcome!
The situation is embarrassing.
Many ministers came to Li Yan with great interest.
Li Yan didn't know anything, even if he knew something, he didn't draw conclusions, he would ask, "Have you asked your uncle?" ”
Pei Min disagreed, and Li Yan would never give any orders lightly.
Moreover, Pei Min's own level of governance is not to mention how strong he is, but compared with Li Yan, he is one day and one place.
Pei Min has a large number of capable people under his command, with capable people like Song Jing and Zhang Jiuling, but any problems can be well solved.
Over time, many thoughtful ministers gave up and honestly went to Pei Min to discuss state affairs.
Pei Min was also busy and realized Li Longji's feelings.
It is really not an easy task to deal with the affairs of a country.
The greater the power of the person in power, the greater the responsibility.
Pressure and many things are like a mountain on the shoulders, and there is a possibility that a person can be crushed at any time.
Li Longji's personality changed greatly in the later period, and he began to choose to indulge in pleasure.
Pei Min was dealing with diplomatic matters this day.
The new emperor of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, and the attitude of the surrounding countries was very crucial.
Whether they will continue to recognize the status of the Tang Dynasty as the suzerainty depends on whether they have reverence for the new emperor.
In order to stabilize the foreign races in the four directions, Pei Min personally wrote letters to the Khans of the Uighurs, Qarluq, and Silla, asking them to come to Chang'an to meet the new Khan of the Celestial Empire.
"The king of the county, the letter of the envoy of Zhang Shouqi in the northeast!"
Pei Min's current assistant is Li Chengxiu, who is Li Mi's father.
Pei Min did not meddle in the territory of Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province.
Pei Min is already very satisfied with his current status and status, but in the territory of Shangshu Province, Pei Min intends to control it in the palm of his hand.
After all, this is his territory, and his own territory must be controlled.
For Shangshu Province, the popularity allocation is the largest and the most.
Except for Song Jing, most of the others are members of the Pei Party.
Li Chengxiu was promoted by Pei Min because of Li Mi's relationship and became a member of Shangshu Province to do the same work as Wang Wei.
However, Li Chengxiu is obviously not as careful as Wang Wei, so that Pei Min has always missed Wang Wei, thinking about when Wang Wei will be transferred to Chang'an, and he really misses this little secret.
Listening to Li Chengxiu's message from the north, Pei Min hurriedly said: "Quick, get the letter quickly." ”
Pei Min has not asked about the Northeast recently, but he has always been concerned about the situation in the Northeast.
It's just that he didn't get the situation in the northeast for a while, and he couldn't make a way to deal with it, so he could only deal with other things.
In Pei Min's heart, the affairs of the Northeast always come first.
took Zhang Shoujue's letter, and the letter was naturally full of indignation. The words really tell the blood feud between the Tang Dynasty and the Bohai State, and the hatred of the people of Liaodong for the Bohai State, once the people know that the Tang Dynasty intends to make peace with the Bohai State, it will be a big loss of popular support.
Because this letter was addressed to Li Longji, Zhang Shouqi naturally revealed his dissatisfaction with Pei Min in the letter, and there were small complaints.
It turned out that Zhang Shouqi had the above-mentioned right to listen directly to heaven, and Zhang Shouqi's letter was originally written to Li Longji.
It's just that Li Longji died of illness, and the letter reached Gaolishi.
Gao Lishi was loyal to Li Longji, and even had the idea of suicide, but he did not carry it out because of Li Longji's entrustment, but he had no intention of dealing with the things at hand in the short term.
The letter was also delayed, and until today, Gao Lishi's condition has improved slightly, and he found the letter and sent it to Pei Min.
"How can it be!"
Pei Min was furious, he was not angry with Zhang Shoujue's complaint about him, but he said it in a big way, but he never expressed the slightest intention of attacking the Bohai Kingdom.
"Someone came, passed on my order, and ordered Zhang Shouqi to return to Beijing to report on his work, and leave immediately, if there is any hesitation, remove the post of Jiedu envoy on the spot, and the court will choose someone else to fill it. In addition, I will send my order to Shuofang Jiedu to envoy An Sishun, and Hedong Jiedu to envoy Gai Jiayun and Daizhou military exercises, and prepare for battle! ”
The soft ones can't work, they can only come to the hard ones.
