Chapter 429: The fleet is back
Li Zhi fainted from crying, and only woke up under Sun Simiao's first aid. Seeing that Li Shimin's face couldn't stand up at all, the eldest grandson Wuji had no choice but to let Li Zhi rest beside him, and he went to arrange for Li Zhi's succession.
The so-called "country can't be without a king for a day" is what it says, the emperor's seat is not sitting for a day, it will cause a lot of associations, and it will also fuel many people's ambitions, especially Li Tai is still in the world, in case the news of Li Shimin's death spreads, where something is happening, the eldest grandson Wuji will not be atoned for.
The eldest grandson Wuji called several ministers outside the main hall, such as the Ministry of Rites, into the main hall to discuss Li Zhi's accession to the throne, and began to deal with Li Shimin's posthumous affairs, fortunately, the emperor of China began to build his own mausoleum on the day they succeeded to the throne.
Li Zhi's enthronement ceremony was also carried out warmly and solemnly, but the atmosphere was very depressing, the news of Li Shimin's death had been told to the people of Chang'an City through the bell, hundreds of people wept bitterly, no matter what Li Shimin's evaluation was, he was still okay with the people, and it was a rare benevolent monarch, and the people were favored by him, of course, they missed him very much, and the whole Chang'an was immediately full of vegetarians.
All the civil and military officials came to the Taiji Palace, and the envoys of various countries in Chang'an were invited to watch the ceremony and witnessed the change of the throne of the Tang Empire.
Li Zhi completed the enthronement ceremony step by step in accordance with etiquette. Accepting the worship of civil and military officials and the congratulations of envoys from various countries, the completion of this set of processes means that Li Zhi has become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the ruler of this powerful empire.
Li Zhi had grief on his face, but after completing the whole ceremony, his state of mind was obviously relaxed. It took a busy day to finish the ceremony, and this was still simple because of the funeral.
That night, he called the eldest grandson Wuji to the palace to ask about Li Shimin's funeral arrangements. Although the eldest grandson Wuji is very tired, he is infinitely happy in his heart, and now Li Zhi is still young, and he has asked himself for many things, then he is the actual supreme power holder of the Tang Dynasty.
After inquiring in detail about the preparations for the funeral, Li Zhi thought for a while and said: "My father said on his deathbed that Li Dongsheng was a talent, and he had been in Guangzhou for several years, and I wanted to recall him, I don't know what you think, uncle?" ”
Hearing that Li Zhi wanted Li Dongsheng to return to the court as an official in just one day, the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes jumped, and then he said: "Your Majesty, the city department in charge of Li Dongsheng is the country's money bag, and he must be adjusted from the long term, not impulsively, and ask Your Majesty to withdraw his opinion, and talk about it after a while!" ”
The first opinion that Li Zhi put forward after ascending the throne was rejected by the eldest grandson Wuji, and he was a little unhappy: "Uncle, I believe he must have an arrangement, and I know what he does." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji finally took over the power, how could he easily let Li Dongsheng return to Chang'an, he said stubbornly: "You can't choose people because of your likes and dislikes to do things for the monarch, you must look at it from the perspective of the country, Li Dongsheng can be outstanding, the current city is doing very prosperous, and it is also an important source of taxes for my Datang, under the current situation, it is better to be still." ”
Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji's attitude was so resolute, Li Zhi had no choice but to say, "Then wait for a while." Looking at the back of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi's palms were full of sweat, he used to have a father and emperor pressing on his head, and now he has to be managed by his uncle, am I just a good person to be this emperor?
The news of Li Shimin's death also spread to Guangzhou, and on the day the news arrived, the entire city of Guangzhou was in a state of silence, and all the people spontaneously wept for it, and the cry resounded through the world.
For ordinary people, most of them don't really care what dynasty or emperor they are now. Their hearts are just concerned about their own food and clothing, and they can only live a good life, that is, a good emperor, if they can be kind to them a little more, they will be grateful to Dade.
Only a few decades have passed since the tragic life of the late Sui Dynasty, and many people are still alive. Li Shimin followed Li Yuan to lay down the splendid country of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, in just a few decades, the people went from material poverty to affluence, and the Tang army did not lose a single defeat in foreign wars. The powerful enemies around were also destroyed by Li Shimin one after another. Now the self-confidence of the people of Datang is unprecedentedly high, and many people already look down on Hu people.
Now that such a great emperor has died, everyone's hearts are empty, as if life has lost its direction, there is no backbone, what is the temper of the succeeding emperor, will he continue to take everyone to move forward, the people are still a little worried in their hearts.
"The eyes of the people are bright." Li Dongsheng looked at the scene of white flowers on the street and said with emotion: "Our people are the ones who let them live a good life, and they are good emperors." Look at the crying below, it shows that Your Majesty he did it. ”
Cheng Yanjin is also red-eyed, how many years of old comrades-in-arms, although it is a relationship between monarchs and ministers, but it does not prevent him from deeply remembering his old friends.
But those things happened in Chang'an, and Li Dongsheng didn't know it. Li Zhi's first government affairs after coming to power was Kaienke.
When Li Dongsheng was wandering around the port, Di Renjie's letter arrived, and it turned out that he had taken the Ming Jing Examination and had already passed the Jinshi. This letter is here to report the good news, and Li Dongsheng was also very relieved after reading his letter: "Hehe, this cheap apprentice was admitted to the Jinshi himself." ”
Although Li Dongsheng knew it in his heart, his face was still very happy. Although Di Renjie followed him, although he was nominally a teacher and student, he had the same relationship as father and son, although there were not many times to meet, but Di Renjie was able to be admitted to the Jinshi by himself, which also made Li Dongsheng very happy.
But now he is worried about Li Siwei's study, and he has taken the exam again for a few years, but with such a big brother here, he will definitely have to take the Jinshi exam and come back.
Li Dongsheng's good mood has not completely cooled down, and a better news has come that the fleet that sailed to the Americas has returned.
"Really?" Li Dongsheng grabbed the messenger's clothes hard, he said that at the beginning, who knew that it really succeeded.
Now joy can no longer explain his mood, it should be done with ecstasy, and after a few years of tossing, it has finally been achieved.
Regardless of the fact that it was a time of national mourning, he directly pulled the sailor soldier who reported the news to the dock.
The ships were docked on the islands off the coast, and Li Dongsheng was anxious to see these sailors who had been away from home for several years and what good things they had brought back.
I remember that at that time, Li Dongsheng specially pulled Xi Jun's sign and told him that he could not do with other things, but he must find crops such as potatoes and corn, these are countless good things for living people, I don't know if he listened to it.
