Chapter 2080: A Great Day (Part II)
With Wu Meiniang and Li Hong leading the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu to arrive at the Ci'en Temple, it means that the ceremony is about to begin!
Because there are so many things going on today, every minute and every second has its meaning, and we must hurry.
But this is definitely a historic moment!
On the largest flat land in the center of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, the open space in the middle has been fenced off with red silk, and there are thousands of forbidden army guards around it, but Wuzi can't hinder the enthusiasm of the melon-eating masses, and every inch of space around it is squeezed into an airtight airtight area.
There are rows of chairs in the open space, there are as many as two hundred, and they are already full of people at this time, and the two people sitting in the middle are the biggest mother and son in the world, the queen and the prince, and the ministers of civil and military affairs sitting next to them, in addition to Xiao Wuyi, Yuan Peony, Yang Feixue and some ministers' wives also participated as guests, and everyone sat together.
Originally, women couldn't sit like this, although the Tang Dynasty was very open, but on formal occasions, women still had to sit behind the screen, and the queen had to listen to the government and hang the curtains, but because Wu Meiniang was about to take power, the status of this woman was naturally rising with the tide, and she had to make it full of women, so that Wu Meiniang would not be lonely, and these ladies were all invited by her.
As for the people sitting in the back, all the councillors who are about to take office in Menxia Province are about to take office.
Suddenly, all I could hear was a burst of applause from the crowd.
I saw Zhang Wenguan's old man walk to the podium, and after the applause, he took out an edict, everyone stood up, and Zhang Wenguan read it out in public.
To put it simply, it is to praise Li Zhi's great achievements.
It is indeed a great achievement, and it does not need to carry a little moisture.
Many people wept when they heard this.
Li Hong cried so much that he couldn't stop crying.
The atmosphere was filled with sadness.
But reading this edict is not for sensationalism, but to honor Li Zhi as the emperor, in fact, in history, Li Zhi can also be regarded as the first emperor in the history of the world, since Li Zhi is the emperor, then Wu Meiniang was naturally named the queen of heaven.
But these are all non-inheritable, and they are unique to Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang.
This is to give Wu Meiniang an honorific title to the dynasty, if the queen comes to the dynasty, then the queen will be able to come to the dynasty in the future, and the honorific title of "Queen of Heaven" is to avoid this. So why not come to the dynasty as an "emperor"? Because if you want to be called the emperor, you must change the dynasty, in history, Wu Meiniang called the emperor, it was changed to the Great Zhou, which does not have the foundation of the people's hearts, and now the people's national pride is bursting, and the name of the country can not be changed.
After the reading, the sound of hooray was deafening.
It can be seen that the people respect Li Zhi very much in their hearts.
But after a while, the crowd erupted in even more enthusiastic applause and cheers.
Because Han Yi has come to the front of the podium, now Han Yi is definitely a national idol, and everyone is praising Han Yi for his high style, because Han Yi has done all this, he can't be picky at all, as long as he is happy, he can lean towards the government and the opposition, but he didn't do it, you really can't expect him to do better.
The applause continued.
Han Yi beckoned.
The applause was even more intense.
After a while, the applause and cheers gradually stopped.
Han Yi said loudly: "As we all know, the predecessor of the upcoming parliament is the Menxia Province of the three provinces, and in the original design, it was not said that the Menxia Province would be changed to the Congress, why?" It is because the birth of the Congress is for our Datang and our country, and all of this is for this country, without any other intention, nor is it anyone's will, it is very pure.
Therefore, I also hope that the birth of Congress will unite us, and I firmly believe that as long as we are united, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome, as the war that has just ended, and that when we are divided, I will be defeated by others, and we will lose everything. I hope that after today, we will be able to put aside all kinds of unhappiness, come together again, and together create a great empire, an empire that will last forever. ”
Applause rang out.
"Good!"
"Well said!"
.....
Some boys shouted excitedly.
After waiting for a while, Han Yicai continued: "Therefore, when the members of Congress take office, they will solemnly swear that they will be loyal to this country, and the country is also the only object of their allegiance, and all they have to do is to stop anything that harms this country." Everyone must remember that as long as the country gets better and better, the people will get better and better, the monarch will get better and better, and vice versa. ”
For a while, there was thunderous applause and deafening cheers.
The guests below also stood up and applauded one after another.
This kid is really hiding a needle! Wu Meiniang applauded lightly, and secretly thought to herself.
In Han Yi's words, the country is the first, no longer the monarch first, if it was before, someone might impeach Han Yi for this, since ancient times, the monarch is the center, and the country is the emperor, but except for Wu Meiniang, everyone is very much in favor, it should be said that because there is no monarch for the time being, of course, the country is the first, is it Wu Meiniang first, then everyone will not agree.
Han Yi just said that, and then let the podium give up to the prince.
The next step is to issue a letter of appointment to the councilor, this letter of appointment, of course, must be issued by the prince, because the essence of the establishment of the parliament is to block power, and the blockade is the power that originally belonged to the prince, in a sense, it is the prince who appoints these people to help him keep the power that belongs to him, and don't let Wu Meiniang take it away.
Wu Meiniang is absolutely unqualified, because Wu Meiniang's right to rule was granted to her by the Congress, symbolizing legitimacy.
After Li Hong came up, he cheered continuously, because the prince agreed to delay the accession to the throne for ten years for the sake of this country, which is absolutely unprecedented, and the prince has always been deeply loved by the people, and the people will never be stingy with their applause.
The cheers were endless.
Li Hong had never attended such an occasion, the applause was so deafening, and he was not very good at talking, he was a little embarrassed when he stood on it, and his face was already red.
However, when he saw that the people loved him so much, he felt some comfort in his heart, at least it proved that in the hearts of the people, he was always orthodox.
It took a long, long time before the cheers gradually stopped.
Li Hong also said something, the meaning is similar to Han Yi, that is, the people and the country, we must work together to help each other get through the current difficulties.
After the speech, the next step was to present the certificate of appointment.
And when Brother Xiong took over the letter of appointment from Li Hong, the audience was boiling, especially in the southeast corner, which was really hoarse, because the southeast corner was all the industrial and commercial class, and Brother Xiong was the one who could best represent them.
Know that this is not charity, but they have earned it themselves.
It's a lot of fun.
This was the first victory of the business class.
It's definitely a great moment too.
Countless people shed tears of excitement, including Yuanxi and Yuanle, who had not gone out for a long time, they were all in tears, although they were only Brother Xiong, but this means that businessmen will be qualified to participate in the national policy.
Of course, there is also a trace of discordant ridicule, and there are still some people who scoff at this, but they can't change anything, they can only watch from the sidelines, and they are quickly drowned, because Han Yifang's words infected many people, and many people also let go of their prejudices in their hearts and enjoyed this great moment to the fullest.
However, the great moments continued.
When Cui Yingying received the appointment letter from the crown prince, there was a pleasant cheer in the northwest corner.
Xiao Wuyi, who was sitting below, was even more excited to slap her palms red, Han Yi came to the stage to speak, she was not so excited, a layer of fog gathered in her eyes, this was the moment of her dream, once upon a time, she thought it was a pipe dream, but today, it was realized, and it really happened in front of her.
Today is definitely carrying the dreams of many, many people.
And in the window of a tower in the southeast corner lay two men, one carrying a wine bottle in his hand.
"Huh! Lao Cui, this Yingying is much more promising than you, you are just a drunkard. ”
"I've known you for so long, and that's probably the most beautiful sentence you've ever said."
Cui Pingzhong's eyes were slightly moist.
"Really?" Yuan Vultures hurriedly said: "Then I will retract this sentence." ”
......
When all 60 members of the National Assembly have been appointed, the National Assembly will be formally formed, and then the next will be the biggest climax of the day.
That is, the first meeting of the Congress in history, and this meeting only discussed one issue, that is, whether to appoint Wu Meiniang as the supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty in the name of the country.
The result was unanimous passing.
It's just a formality.
But this will definitely go down in history, not to mention that Wu Meiniang is a woman, even if she is a man, it is also historical, because this is the first time that the ruler was appointed by law, not by war, and no one in the middle lost his life because of this, how great it is.
Therefore, when Wu Meiniang took over the jade seal from Cui Yingying, the audience was boiling.
I have to say that Wu Meiniang is indeed expected, in the most difficult time, she stepped forward and won the largest battle in history, and now it is also the most difficult time for Datang, she is once again in danger, this is definitely a woman who does not let her eyebrows.
Cui Jijian suddenly glanced at Han Yi not far away, he suddenly wanted to know Han Yi's inner thoughts at this time, but Han Yi seemed very calm at this time, just smiling.
It seems that he is not completely sure that he can continue this system! Cui Jijian couldn't help but think to himself.
Indeed, Han Yi is not a god after all, he can only go so far and create a great moment for Datang, whether it can continue, he is not sure, because this requires the wisdom of the people of the world, and only the progress of productivity can promote fundamental changes in the system, not limited to the special circumstances of the past ten years.
After the authorization, the first session of the Congress was declared over, but this day was destined to be great and to go down in history.
Because of the urgency of time, the people in the northwest are still in dire straits, Wu Meiniang is embarrassed to hold a celebration banquet, the key is no money, and the people support her to take the position, that is, I hope she will lead everyone out of the predicament, if she takes the throne, the people will not be happy, she has to make a gesture that the people like, this is not hypocrisy, but the consistent urine of politicians, there is no hypocritical politician in this world.
Therefore, in the afternoon, Wu Meiniang, who got the authorization, immediately held the first court meeting that belonged to her in the Taiji Palace, this is the gesture, why did you choose me, it is because you all think that I can lead you out of the mud, then I must let them know that your choice is not wrong, and this is also God's choice, because only I can lead you to glory.
The ministers didn't dare to slack off, and came to the Taiji Hall early, standing neatly.
"The queen of heaven has arrived!"
With a high-pitched shout.
I saw Wu Meiniang wearing a golden phoenix robe and a crown on her head, and walked in from outside the main hall.
Although she is a queen of heaven, she dresses up, that is, the emperor's dress, but the dragon is changed to a phoenix, because the crown is the symbol of the emperor, and she also wears it.
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs didn't think there was anything wrong, he couldn't let the queen get a drop braid and walk up, this also looked a lot more solemn, everyone looked solemn, but Han Yi secretly glanced at Wu Meiniang, thinking to himself, if there was still a chance to roll the sheets, she had to wear this dress.
Indeed, Wu Meiniang's temperament wearing this golden phoenix robe is really so beautiful that people dare not look at it directly, only she can control this outfit of women in the world, Xiao Wuyi and Chen Shuozhen can't actually control it, so this is a unique beauty.
Wu Meiniang slowly climbed the steps, although she had walked through here countless times during the war, but because she didn't think she was the master of this place at the time, she was just a temporary worker, and today, she walked up as the master of the Taiji Palace, this feeling was naturally completely different.
When she sat on the dragon chair.
The ministers bowed in unison, "The ministers see the queen of heaven!" Hooray, hooray, hooray. ”
Because now the word "long live" is on behalf of festivity, not the meaning of longevity, it is not exclusive to the emperor, the Song Dynasty is exclusive, you have to be brave in the people, you can also name it "long live", when you are happy, you can also chant "long live", so the minister's three shouts of long live do not mean anything, just habits.
Wu Meiniang's gaze swept away, and it seemed that the civil and military ministers who had surrendered inside and outside the palace were really in a surging mood, and said with a smile: "You love to be exempt." ”
And this first court meeting, Wu Meiniang said such a sentence, because she did not want to discuss any major events, but a series of announcements.
Basically, Zhang Wenguan is reading it.
This system lies in balance, after Wu Meiniang becomes the queen of heaven, she must implement all the systems, otherwise, people will not do it, you are cheating.
Wu Meiniang didn't dare to cheat, because the military power was not in her hands at present.
But what was announced at the beginning was not a policy, but about the arrangement of the royal family, first of all, the Shangshuling system, from now on, Shangshuling will be the exclusive property of the prince, no need for anyone to give orders, at the age of sixteen it will automatically become Shangshuling, such an arrangement, Shangshuling will definitely not have real power, because the new emperor ascends the throne, in case the prince is only one year old, it means that there is no Shangshuling for fifteen years.
At the same time, Li Lingkui, Li Yuanjia, and Li Yuanxiao were canonized as Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, and also said that in the future, these three positions must be held by members of the royal family.
As soon as she came up, she first appeased the royal family, indicating that we are a family, I am just the daughter-in-law of the Li family, not a member of the Wu family, those relatives of my Wu family, I don't know where they are, this is not a change of dynasty, you can rest assured.
This is very necessary, although these three first-class titles have no power, but the treatment is extremely high, and today's Datang, as long as there is money, then it can live a relaxed and comfortable life.
This did give the royal family some relief.
The next step is to reform the military system.
This gun comes out of the barrel of power, and this must be implemented immediately, so that everyone can rest assured.
Therefore, Wu Meiniang first announced the reopening of Tiance Mansion.
This Tiance Mansion was set up by Li Shimin at the beginning, and then it has basically become a symbol, and now the restart is to show that this country is still Li Tang's country, and my Wu Meiniang is also Li Tang's person, if she is just an ordinary person, then she has to be called "Li Wu's".
But the meaning of this Tiance Mansion is different, this Tiance Mansion is actually a military order agency, such as Qi Bi He Li and other commanders, all have to enter the Tiance Mansion, and the commanders who will fight in the future are all from the Tiance Mansion, and Wu Meiniang herself serves as the master of the Tiance Mansion, and the military order belongs to her, she has to hold it tightly in her hands, just because of Li Shimin, the general of the Tiance Mansion, this naturally cannot be replaced, under the lord of the mansion, there are generals and lieutenant generals.
At the same time, the military administration was handed over to the Congress.
In fact, it can't be done if you don't pay it, because the emperor's money has been emptied, and many assets have been mortgaged, so there is no money to support so many soldiers, only the treasury can afford it, and it may have to be disarmed, which is also the second agenda of the Congress.
All the generals of the Sixteenth Guards are appointed by the Congress, and Wu Meiniang is only responsible for announcing them.
This has been arranged a long time ago, or continue to be served by Yang Sine as the secretary of the military department, as the highest official in charge of military affairs, because Yang Sine performed very well at that time, he did not choose which side, and the rest of the people were basically cleared, because they were all old drivers, and the Congress did not know whether they were Wu Meiniang's people, or the prince's people, they had to be all cleared, and the reason why Yang Sine was retained was also to bring these newcomers on the road in order to stabilize the transfer of power.
But the real meaning is to prevent Wu Meiniang from getting involved in the military and politics, I will use newcomers, people who have nothing to do with you.
This is the old drivers are also willing to be cleared out, not because they are high-spirited, but the people who will be activated, all of them are cadets from the military academy, that is, Li Jingye and them, and these people are basically their descendants.
Isn't this just that the son inherits the father's business, it is still so legitimate, of course they are willing, they are so old, they can't stay long, and now they can give it to their children and grandchildren, it is really good.
In addition, there is also an important resolution announced, that is, to appoint Cui Jijian as the imperial historian, the eldest grandson Yan as the secretary of the criminal department, and Di Renjie as the secretary of the Dali Temple.
This appointment is a candidate that must be agreed upon by both the National Assembly and Wu Meiniang, but once appointed, no one can easily remove them, unless they violate the law, they can be removed according to the law, and the power cannot replace them, so the judicial power and legislative power have been completely independent.
At the same time, it was announced that the treasury would be transferred to the National Assembly, that the Ministry of Household Affairs would only be responsible for fiscal policy, that the National Assembly would become a miser, that it would just guard the treasury, and that appropriations and everything would have to go through the National Assembly.
Then the army will definitely listen to Congress, because it is Congress that allocates money to support them!
After the military, finance, and law are completed, the next thing is Wu Meiniang's own business, that is, administrative reform.
Wu Meiniang first changed the government hall into the Privy Council, which became the highest administrative body, and the officials of the Privy Council were uniformly called "Privy Envoys", and the highest national policy must come from the Privy Council. This privy envoy is Wu Meiniang's sole discretion, and the Congress can't intervene, basically she can do whatever she wants, but because the judiciary is independent, she doesn't dare to use people like Li Yifu anymore, it is really a scourge, in case it is found, although the law is useless to her, but her reputation is also stinky.
The reason why she is so reformed is because in the parliamentary system, she is given the two most important powers, one is the executive power, and the other is the military order, if these two powers are concentrated in the two departments, so that they can be firmly controlled in their hands, and the right hand of administration and left hand of military orders are also very convenient to use.
Plus, with such a change, she can get her own people in.
It can be seen that Wu Meiniang's political methods are quite powerful.
Of course, she is not in a hurry to bring up all her people, and replace the old people, the food is too ugly, and at present, Datang is not a peaceful and prosperous era, there are a lot of troubles, and if you don't deal with it well, the consequences are very serious, these talented people, that must be kept, she just added a few people in, most of them are relatives, Yang family, Guo family, Helan family.
But this is understandable, which emperor does not use his own people.
The Congress removed all the generals of the Sixteenth Guard, didn't it also prevent her?
.....
As the sun sets, the afterglow dyes the Ming officials who have not yet been built into golden brilliance, which looks spectacular from a distance.
And Wu Meiniang, who was dressed in a golden phoenix robe, stood on the steps, looking at the sunset, as if flashing with golden light, as if she was the master of this Daming Palace!
And beside her stood a young official in a purple robe, who was none other than Han Yi.
"How does it feel?" Han Yi asked.
Wu Meiniang looked at the sunset and replied, "It's beautiful." ”
Han Yi smiled: "You know that I didn't ask this. ”
Wu Meiniang turned her head to look at Han Yi and said, "Gain and loss." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Han Yidao.
Wu Meiniang smiled: "Although this is what I want, most of this is what you gave me, I feel it, but I feel that I don't get anything, and this is not complete." But it doesn't matter, I'll get the rest with my own hands. ”
The tone is full of pride and confidence, and now she finally came to the forefront, although she was castrated, but she didn't feel depressed, because she felt that this was given to her by Han Yi, in exchange for a return, which inspired her that what she wanted, she had to rely on her own struggle, which was also her belief all along.
Han Yi nodded and said, "I know." ”
Wu Meiniang said: "But you think I can't get it." ”
Han Yi shook his head and said, "Not really, I'm afraid that what you get in the end is something else." ”
"What?" Wu Meiniang's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Han Yi said: "The first empress of the ages, the first empire of the ages, admired by the world, respected by future generations, and has become the most shining emperor throughout the ages, just like you in the sunset, radiating light, so sexy and beautiful." ”
In the end, the taste suddenly changed, which caught Wu Meiniang a little off guard, her cheeks showed a hint of redness, she glanced at Han Yi charmingly, and asked, "Do you think I will get these?" ”
Han Yi smiled: "If you don't get those, you will definitely get these, and if you get those, you will definitely not get these." ”
Wu Meiniang thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "What about you?" How do you feel? ”
Han Yi sighed: "I'm just happy for you, before I don't have a career, I will never be successful!" ”
This forced to pretend, Wu Meiniang didn't even have the mood to open her mouth.
