The first major event in the ninth year of Zhenguan is that the palace began to relocate, taking advantage of the Spring Festival for more than half a month, the ten departments of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial city has divisions, all of which will be moved into the built Daming Palace office, and the old imperial city, the court, the East Palace, the imperial city next to the government, the government and other places originally used for the office of the government, will all be emptied, become the Imperial City Park, the Tang Imperial Museum, the Tang Imperial Zoo, and a number of new real estate projects.

Don't underestimate this relocation, he has far-reaching political significance for the future of Datang, first of all, the office is many times more spacious, which can make the super-large banquet and court meeting can be carried out decently, highlighting the national atmosphere.

Secondly, the office locations of the emperor, the crown prince and the various ministries of the imperial court are all concentrated in thirteen buildings with a distance of no more than five hundred meters, and their office efficiency will be greatly improved, and the approval of any report can be completed quickly. It is equivalent to upgrading the internal affairs ability by a large level as a whole.

After that, it was the change in the garrison of the capital, because the entire palace was thrown directly outside the walls of Chang'an City, then, the original garrison system, faced with an overall change, since there is the confidence to directly expose the palace to others, it is necessary to have the strength to absolutely protect the safety of the palace.

In the future, Chang'an City will only retain the city guards, the establishment of 100,000, expanded by the original prison guards, the guards of the palace, is specially set up the Nanya Forbidden Army, the establishment is also 100,000, by the original Yulin Guard, Qianniuwei, Flying Cavalry Army as the main body of expansion, and the other guards in the 16th Guard, with the reform of the military system, all abolished, the establishment of a new group army, including Andong, Anxi, Annan, Anbei four armies, together, the establishment of 20 group armies, of which the navy accounts for four group armies, the rest of the establishment, Corresponding to the fourteen state roads of the Tang Dynasty, as well as two metropolitan protectorates.

Moreover, in the future, unless the internal report is made, all the numbers of each army need to be hidden, because the Tang Army has already passed the period when it is necessary to use flags and numbers to command and transfer sergeants, and in the future, a series of information about the generals, the number of troops, the location of the garrison, and so on of each group army will be kept secret from the outside world. In fact, these reforms have been slowly advancing since the abolition of the government military system and the introduction of the conscription system and the military rank system, but they have just been implemented at this juncture.

The number of each group army ranges from 30,000 to 50,000, and there are slightly more people in the two major capitals of Anxi and Andong, about 120,000 to 150,000, in general, the 20 group armies, almost 1 million troops, plus 200,000 troops in Chang'an, as well as local prefectures and counties, ranging from 500 to 1,000 garrison troops, Datang has a total of about 1.5 million professional soldiers, and among these soldiers, there are no old, weak, sick or disabled at all, because the military retirement system promoted by Xiao Yu was implemented before the New Year.

Judging by physical fitness, people are actually not suitable for fighting on the front line when they reach the age of 30, but the current population of the Tang Dynasty is limited, and the territory is too large, in order to maintain stability, it is necessary to maintain the current number of troops, so the retirement age of soldiers below the rank of lieutenant can only be set at 35 years old, from lieutenant to general, at 40 years old, and from general to general, to 45 years old.

Moreover, the retirement of low-level officers and soldiers below the rank of captain is not a direct departure, the imperial court will arrange for transfer according to the wishes and ranks of the soldiers, and officers above the rank of captain can apply to continue to stay in the military system, but will be transferred to the non-combat sequence, and the general level, in addition to applying for a delay of retirement of up to five years according to the physical condition, can also obtain a transfer of the same grade.

In addition to applying for a maximum of ten years of delayed retirement, when the ultimate retirement age of 55 years old, you can also go to the military academy to serve as a professor, and you can continue to serve until you are unwilling to serve, and during the teaching period at the military academy, you can still make suggestions on the military aspects of Datang at any time.

This system has been set up, and it has basically been recognized by the military generals, because Wei Chigong, the oldest in the military general team, has just reached the age of fifty, and he can stay in the position for five years! Like Zhang Gongjin, Cheng Zhijie, Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, Li Ji, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, etc., there are still ten years, or even more than ten years before they reach the limit retirement age, which is still very early.

is the oldest, Feng Ang and Li Jing, who have already added the false titles of hussar general and auxiliary general, directly entered the military academy as vice presidents, because the dean can only be Li Shimin himself.

Almost everyone is very satisfied with the new office environment, a comfortable, clean and convenient environment, will make everyone's mood happy, after the officials get closer, the estrangement is also much less, some young people who want to go up and perform, do not have to be afraid that the boss will not see their work, because, standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass of the imperial study, Li Shimin can see the twelve office buildings on the left and right sides at a glance, if he sets up a telescope, he can even see their detailed work scenes, because, Although these office buildings do not have large floor-to-ceiling glass like Li Shimin's imperial study, they are all transparent glass window sashes, and the offices by the window can be seen from the outside as long as the curtains are not drawn and the windows are not opened.

On the fifth day of the first month, the eldest grandson Wuji's recital arrived in Chang'an, Li Shimin watched this recital in the new imperial study with a bright and clean window, even if it was the New Year's bathing day, even if there was no major event in the court now, Li Shimin also loved to stay here, through the recitals sent from all over the world, to understand the changes in the world.

"What a young man China said, a good Sun Zhengming, can make such an eloquent essay, seriously, seriously······"

Li Shimin took it seriously for a long time, and didn't find a good adjective to describe him, but in the end, he asked Wang Deyong to find a big paper, use his best Feibai, write the full text on it, sign the date, use the seal, and hang it on the wall on the left side of the imperial study, and let people invite Yu Shinan to taste, because, this writing, he feels very good.

"Your Majesty's handwriting is becoming more and more god-like, and the old minister is afraid that there is nothing to guide Your Majesty." Yu Shinan was carried to the imperial study by four chamberlains in a sedan chair, after all, although the imperial study is on the third floor of the main hall of Daming Palace, the stairs it needs to climb are not much more than the six-story building.

Hearing this, Li Shimin said a little proudly, "I also feel good, and I invited Yu Qing to evaluate it, but today I invited Yu Qing to come and comment on it, but it is not just a comment, Qing thinks, how is this article written?" ”

Li Shimin smiled proudly, he had already fallen into Yu Shinan's eyes, after Sun Xiangfu wrote this article, he didn't send a letter to Yu Shinan, so at this moment, Yu Shinan thought that this was Li Shimin's original!

In fact, after he saw the content of this article, he was first shocked by the meaning expressed in it, and praised it, "This is a heroic text for thousands of years, and it will be passed down for generations!" Congratulations to Your Majesty. ”

"Eternal and eloquent, forever." Li Shimin silently read these eight words in his heart, but he suddenly had a hint of understanding in his heart, but he said, "Yu Qing is wrong, this article was written by your grandson-in-law Sun Zhengming. ”

"Masaaki?"

Although Yu Shinan was a little surprised when he heard this, it was clear when he thought about it, he had some idyllic poems that had been passed by Yu Xiuer from time to time recently, but they were all some excellent works, but he usually wrote essays, generally in the vernacular, it seems that it is not that he is not good at writing elegant essays, but that he is unwilling to write.

At this time, Li Shimin said, "Zhengming can write a famous ancient heroic text, then, his own name must also be famous for a hundred generations, if I am too mean to such talents, I am afraid that the name of future generations will be damaged, yes, I plan to restore his official title, what do you think?" ”

"If Your Majesty thinks about the name of future generations, it is enough to restore his knighthood, and if you are an official, please consider it carefully."

When Yu Shinan said this, his words stopped, as for Li Shimin to consider in that direction, it was his own business, after all, Sun Xiangfu's main real power official position before was the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, and now, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture is held by Wei Ting, and he is not bad.

If Li Shimin is not afraid that Sun Xiangfu's status in the hearts of the people will be more deep-rooted, then he can be forcibly transferred back to the Ministry of Agriculture, but after that, unless he is promoted, otherwise, once he has any ups and downs in this position, it is likely to cause a series of reactions from the people, because once he becomes the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, then his status in the minds of the peasants will be higher and higher, and there will be no one more suitable to be the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture.

But who knows, Li Shimin said, "Xiao Xiang has asked me to resign, and I want Wen Qing to take over as Shangshu's left servant, let Zhengming return to the court, and let Shangshu's right servant shoot." ”

"Shangshu's right servant shot? Your Majesty, Zhengming is only twenty-five this year! This is ····· in the future." Yu Shinan was a little surprised.

What he meant, it is not that Sun Xiangfu is not qualified, or that he has no talent to be the right servant of Shangshu, in fact, the positions he previously held as the governor of Anbei and the young master of the crown prince are also from the second grade, but they are only ranked after the right servant of Shangshu, but if he is so young to do Shangshu's right servant, in the future, where is there room for promotion, based on the retirement age set now, he can still serve in the court for thirty years! Whoever has been the prime minister for 30 years is not what Li Shimin wants to see.

In the end, he nodded and said, "Then he will be reinstated as the crown prince and young master, what do you think?" ”

Seeing Li Shimin's turn so fast, Yu Shinan, who was old and refined, knew that Li Shimin still had some scruples about Sun Xiangfu's future, so he said, "Everything depends on Your Majesty, however, Zhengming has the responsibility of planting rice, which is a fundamental matter related to the dawn of the people in the world, Your Majesty should not interrupt, just give him a false title, and there is no need to recall him to return to the court." ”

"In this way, I have a decree to send it to Jiuyuan County with the little princes who went south to plant rice at the beginning of spring.

In addition, the auxiliary machine once said that there are some strange treasures and a group of students in Jiuyuan County to go to Chang'an to do a display, and they will arrive in a few days, which is related to education. ”

"Your Majesty, even if it is about education, why don't you invite all your colleagues and students to watch together?" Yu Shinan asked suspiciously.

Li Shimin smiled a little mysteriously and said, "The auxiliary machine makes it clear that it is related to some practical learning of my Datang to develop industries, and it is not good to show it to the foreign students of Guozijian." ”

Hearing this, Yu Shinan knew in his heart that Sun Xiangfu was going to make a move on education before Kong Yingda's "Five Classics of Justice" was compiled, and the content to be displayed was probably a bit earth-shattering, and it had reached the point where it was necessary to prevent it from spreading outward, so that the situation of Confucianism dominating the education system would be gone forever.

If anyone else does this, as a son of Confucianism, he is afraid that he will come out to oppose it, but Sun Zhengming will do it, but he can't oppose it, because he knows that what Sun Xiangfu does must indeed bring benefits to the country and the people, and if he becomes a defender, then it will harm the country and the people.
