Chapter 857: A New Era
Thank you for your support, and thank you for your support.
After the earth-shattering roar, there was a commotion in Chang'an City, and every household lit up their lights.
"What's the matter, how can there be thunder in winter?"
"yes, it can't be a shaking, right?"
"It's not like ah, why is the ground just like this?"
"It's weird."
On the bedside of every house, they are talking about this incredible thing.
Soon after, seeing that there was no other movement, people also lost interest, and Chang'an City returned to calm.
Soon after, the bell rang at midnight, and Chang'an City was still calm, and then there was a long and silent night.
Northwest Palace.
Li You returned to the mansion, and before he entered the gate, he saw Xiao Wanyu, Wu Xu, Ruina, Pei Dilan and others, as well as all the people in the palace waiting there neatly and neatly, and a warm current surged in his heart.
For the sake of these people who care for themselves, the grievances he has received are not worth mentioning.
Seeing that the prince had come back safely, everyone cheered, Xiao Wanyu, Wu Xu, and Rena each burst into tears and threw themselves into the crook of her husband's strong arm, and Tian Min, Magpie, Wang Liao, Gao Zhiming and others couldn't help but shed tears of excitement......
When the first rays of dawn dispelled the dark curtain that shrouded Chang'an City, Chang'an City resumed its former hustle and bustle, and a new day began.
On this day, the ministers went to the early court as usual, and the retired generals Li Jing, Xiao Qian, Huang Furui and others stood on the court again, but Xu Jingzong, Shang Wenqi and others were gone.
Li Shimin did not show up, he was ill, and the government was temporarily handled by the crown prince Li Chengqian.
The ministers were beaming, and they knew that a new era had arrived.
Chang'an City was unusually calm, and the originally brewing boycotts, strikes, and school boycotts did not take place, and people worked, studied, and lived as they wished.
However, a magical legend has become the talk of people after tea and dinner - a story about the thunder and the death of the wicked Li Tai.
The real person Li Chunfeng once again became the object of people's reverence, and the scenery was infinite for a while. He still walked in a figure-eight step, but his steps were more steady, and his chin was raised higher.
Because his "Tui Bei Tu" has already calculated this matter, even the time is extremely accurate.
Last night, a sudden loud noise made Li Chunfeng, who was already close to the Liangyi Palace, change his face greatly, and he almost fell to the ground. He was originally extremely in awe of Li You, but now he regarded him even more as a god.
He said in his heart: "The prince said that Li Tai was possessed by demons and came to harm the Tang Dynasty, and the gods were furious and would send thunder to kill him tonight, and it was so." The prince must be a god descending from heaven. ”
He quickened his pace, came to Li Shimin's study, and walked in under the guidance of Ma Xuanliang......
It is an indisputable fact that Li Tai died, was struck by a thunderbolt.
Li Shimin was deeply shocked, he was getting old and more superstitious, Li Chunfeng's timely appearance, as well as his mysterious theory of "Tui Bei Tu", calculated the time of Li Tai's death, and also pointed out the actions that Li Shimin was about to take in the middle of the night.
Of course, everything was discussed between Li You and Li Chunfeng, and some of the so-called inferences in "Tui Bei Tu" were made up specifically to deceive Li Shimin.
After the incident of begging for rain last time, Li Shimin was convinced of Li Chunfeng. Now, these unbelievable but unusually accurate inferences in front of Li Shimin quickly convinced Li Shimin.
What is this earth-shattering thunder?
Of course, it's the devil that Li You has been refusing to release - gunpowder. He instructed Li Duan to make a bomb and directly sent Li Tai to the point of no return.
Li Shimin dotes on Li Tai, and he has a strong personality, and conventional means can't convince him at all. This incident has reached this point, and abnormal means must be used to be effective.
The only way is to use Li Shimin's superstition to create things that he can't understand, and Li Chunfeng can fool him in order to convince him.
After Li Chunfeng's explanation, Li Shimin recognized the statement that Li Tai was possessed by demons and was killed by lightning from heaven, so he thought that his actions were not approved by the gods.
So, on the eve of midnight, Li Zhixian, the general of the Right Xiaowei, and Huang Zheng, the general of the Left Weiwei, both received the holy decree and returned to the barracks with the army.
As for Duan Zan and Chai Zhewei, after the thunder exploded that day, they received an order from Li Ke to cancel all actions.
It turned out that while Li Ke was waiting for the news, his guards reported that they had been surrounded by the Flying Tiger Army, and then, Yin Guanghao and Liu Feixu appeared.
Li Ke finished reading Li You's letter and said; "Thank you for the generosity of the fifth brother, I promise that I will not do anything to hurt my brother's feelings again, and I will be loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from now on."
Li You had already discovered that there was another mysterious force behind this incident, and from the causal relationship, Li Ke was very suspicious.
The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. Li Chengqian, Li You and Li Tai are fishermen who compete with each other and profit, and it is very likely that it is Li Ke. Extrapolating from the date when Li Ke left Lingnan Road, Li Ke should have arrived in Chang'an soon, or had already come to Chang'an.
Under Li You's instructions, Yin Guanghao used his huge intelligence network to monitor all those who had a relationship with Li Ke, and soon discovered Li Ke's traces.
Gao Henian and Liu Feixu used their relationship in the rivers and lakes, and soon discovered the origin of the two men and one woman, and they had a close relationship with Cen Wenwen.
With such clues, Duan Zan and Chai Zhewei's actions have long been under surveillance.
Li You had insight into all of Li Ke's conspiracies, but he didn't want to make this matter public. In particular, he wants to hide this matter from Li Chengqian, once this matter is known to him, with Li Chengqian's mind, Li Ke has only one way to die.
Li You believes that after this incident, Li Ke will no longer have any more thoughts. Li Ke knew that he was by no means Li You's opponent, Li You saved his life again this time, and he really put away his desire to covet the crown prince.
After this fierce struggle, the court of the Tang Dynasty has once again undergone a reborn change and has become more united.
Datang is about to enter a stage of rapid development.
Since then, Li Shimin has spent most of his time discussing the art of immortality with Li Chunfeng and Sun Simiao, and most of the government has fallen on the shoulders of the crown prince Li Chengqian.
Soon, under the auspices of Li Chengqian, the imperial court issued a series of new policies:
The Ministry of Education has established a system of compulsory education for young people under the age of 16 and a system of girls' schools. Teachers' salaries have increased considerably.
The Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Dali Temple have introduced a revised law on the "Tang Law" to intensify the crackdown on gambling, usury, and human trafficking that harm the people. The law of joint sitting has been relaxed, so that only the immediate family members will be implicated when one person commits the crime, and the neighbors will no longer be implicated.
The Imperial Historical Observatory and the Ministry of Household Affairs have introduced decisions to improve the treatment of officials and other public officials, as well as relevant regulations to combat corruption and promote clean government.
The Ministry of Household Affairs has introduced measures to encourage childbirth, and the government will give a one-year tax exemption reward to a woman who gives birth to a second child, and children with a third child or more will be raised at the state's expense.
Land laws were introduced, prohibiting private buying and selling of land, which could only be sold to the state, strengthening land control and avoiding land annexation.
The General Staff has introduced a method for the retirement and retirement of officers and the retirement of soldiers. It solves the worries of active duty soldiers. The method of verifying military merits has been redetermined, and it is no longer determined solely by officers, but the relevant content of soldiers' recommendations has been added, making the verification of military merits more accurate and reasonable.
The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Honglu Temple jointly established an immigration bureau and issued an immigration law.
……
This series of measures has been widely welcomed by the government and the opposition.
The ministers of the court also made adjustments.
Cen Wenwen was transferred to Menxia Province as a deputy and was replaced by Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou was transferred back to Chang'an to take over Wei Zheng's position, and Yan Liben was promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department. Fang Xuanling retreated to the second line and served as the imperial court counselor, the eldest grandson Wuji was promoted to the left servant, Hou Junji was promoted to the right servant, Xiao Qian continued to serve as the Minister of Education, Xiao Dongchang replaced Hou Junji's official secretary, Gao Jingming was promoted to Shang Shufang, and still served as the household secretary. Huang Furui continued to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Li Jing served as the chief of staff, Li Jiren served as the general, Wu Xu was reappointed as the minister of commerce, Wei Chi Baoqi was reappointed as the minister of industry, Li Daozong and Gao Yong were promoted to deputy chiefs of the general staff, and the Flying Tiger Army was expanded to 12 armies with a total strength of 30,000 troops.
The backbone of Li You's system has been correspondingly improved in terms of title, grade, and official position.
The Tang Dynasty is peaceful and thriving.
After Li Shimin's birthday celebration, an exciting new piece of good news came.
