Li Chengguang is an adult, and he will be nineteen years old soon, and he has grown from a baby who was still in swaddling clothes to a man who can already take charge of himself.

After four years in the position of Yongzhou pastor, Li Chengguang's ability was fully exercised, and in the following year, Li Chengguang returned to the imperial court and began to help Li Yuanji deal with government affairs.

At Li Yuanji's current age, it is naturally easy to handle government affairs.

Although he is getting older and his physical strength is not comparable to before, Li Yuanji has not pulled down the matter of exercising over the years.

In his early forties, this age is in the prime of life for future generations, and it is not too big for now, of course, in ancient times, when the average life expectancy was not long, this age was actually not small.

The prince is gradually adapting, and the old ministers are gradually retreating.

Last year, the third term of office came as scheduled, and Fang Xuanling, who had been reused by Li Yuanji for more than ten years, also retired.

Ma Zhou took over the Zhongshu Order left by Fang Xuanling and became the one above 10,000 people under one person, and Zhang Xingcheng was reappointed as the left servant of Shangshu and became the one second only to Ma Zhou, and there were many changes in the ministers.

And the members of the first fifteen cabinets, there are only five people who are still there today, and the old ones are old, and they are gone, and they are no longer the familiar ones at the beginning.

Time is rising, the wheel of history is moving forward step by step, over the years, who has been spared by the years?

Even Li Yuanji's forehead had a trace of wrinkles.

In the seventeenth year of Shenyuan, Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar hall, ministers.

Song Zhong, who had already entered his fifties, took out the holy decree that had been prepared long ago before the end of the court meeting.

Li Yuanji shamelessly plagiarized some things from later generations, such as the current holy decree, in fact, before the Song Dynasty, it was not called the holy decree, and in the Tang Dynasty in history, the format of the holy decree began with the word "Xia".

Li Yuanji felt that this did not highlight the majesty of the imperial family, which had given up too much power that should have belonged to them, and now only hoped to ensure the status of the imperial family in other aspects.

Of course, no one forced him, and all this was done voluntarily by Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji, who came from later generations, knew very well that if he didn't make changes, history would eliminate himself and the Tang Dynasty.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: the ...... of the world" crackling, Song Zhong continued to read the words on the holy decree, which wrote a lot, talking about the development process of the Tang Dynasty over the years, talking about the growth process of the prince Li Chengguang, the whole holy decree is about 1,000 words, Rao is reading, Song Zhong also read for a long time, and even almost had physical exhaustion, fortunately, the holy decree was finally read, only the last sentence remained: "I ordered the prince to supervise the country......

'Buzz ......'

The atmosphere in the hall exploded instantly, but Li Yuanji didn't care, but glanced at Song Zhong, Song Zhong understood, and directly asked the guards who had already prepared on the side to carry a chair and walked up, which was placed in front of the left side of Li Yuanji's dragon chair, and the position was at a forty-five degree angle to the dragon chair, just enough for most ministers to see here.

The crown prince is in charge of the country, and for the crown prince, this is the last step to ascend to the throne.

The crown prince, who has never experienced the prison of the country, will never know how difficult it is to be an emperor, although Li Chengguang has performed very well before, but now, the ministers still dare not be completely reassured.

However, for Li Yuanji's order, the ministers did not dare to disobey, and they were just supervising the country, after all, the emperor was still there, and he didn't care about anything, and he couldn't get out of any big basket.

As for the dragon chair, in addition to the emperor, even if it is the crown prince, even if it is Li Chengguang, who has the power of the temporary emperor, he is not qualified to sit on it before he ascends the throne.

Even if Li Yuanji does not show up in the future, even if Li Chengguang will be in charge of the future court, his position can only be the place that Li Yuanji arranged for him now, even if the dragon chair is empty, he can't think about it.

The crown prince is in charge of the country, of course Li Yuanji will not completely put his heart in his stomach, after all, this is not a trivial matter, after all, the prince is still too young.

In fact, as early as when this order was drafted before, Li Yuanji was angry with the ministers, and the crown prince should support this order, but if the decision made by the prince could not convince them, they could come to themselves with a twist.

Li Yuanji has decided to retreat from the front of the stage to the backstage, give this stage to Li Chengguang, and when he is in his fledgling, he willingly escorts him.

No one knows why Li Yuanji did this, and no one knows how long the period of the crown prince's imprisonment is.

According to the normal situation, only when the emperor is out on patrol, will the crown prince be in charge of the country, and this period is the period between the emperor's departure and the emperor's return.

On the other hand, when the emperor is seriously ill and unable to approve government affairs, he will appoint the crown prince to oversee the state until the emperor dies, and then the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes the rightful emperor and continues to exercise these rights.

The third is the one that Li Yuanji is now operating, the emperor appointed the prince to supervise the country in order to test the prince's ability, but there are not many cases of this case, many emperors are privately handing over the folds to the prince to deal with, and then to observe the prince's ability.

And this kind of private observation, Li Yuanji has been observing for more than ten years, and he feels that it is no longer necessary, so there is this scene.

In the seventeenth year of Shenyuan, Li Chengguang, as the crown prince, stepped onto the stage of the Tang Dynasty for the first time and began to deal with government affairs with the assistance of the ministers.

Fortunately, many years ago, Li Yuanji proposed and established a cabinet system, many things will be dealt with by cabinet ministers, and the current emperor needs to deal with government affairs in person, in fact, there are not many, which also allows Li Chengguang to deal with these government affairs more calmly.

At the beginning, I was a little nervous, because it was the first time, because Li Yuanji had already entered the harem, accompanied the queen and other concubines all day long, and did not care about the government at all, if Li Chengguang did not go to the harem, he would not even be able to see Li Yuanji.

And Li Chengguang also inherited filial piety very well, and every morning and evening, he must go to the harem twice to say goodbye.

This year, Li Chengguang did not have any personal actions, everything was in accordance with the previous plan made by Li Yuanji, and Li Chengguang became Li Yuanji's solid support, meticulously completing the previously formulated plan.

And this year, Li Chengguang has gradually adapted to this kind of life from being unfamiliar, and his caution in handling government affairs has slowly become easy, and there are not many problems that can stump him.

In the second half of the year, Li Chengguang began to add his own ideas, but this is next year's plan, without changing the current five-year plan, while adding some elements of his own ideas.

Of course, although the prison state has the power of the emperor, it is not the emperor, and Li Chengguang will still ask Li Yuanji about this kind of national policy.

But Li Yuanji shook his head, didn't even open the plan, and pushed the ball to Li Chengguang again.
