Tai Chi Temple.

On the first day of the first month of March, the New Day Pilgrimage.

Hundreds of officials gathered, and the hall was full of purple scarlet.

Li Zhi sat on the dragon chair, listening to Baiguanshan shouting long live, and his mood was calm. Today is an important day, and after this period of planning, he finally decided to make a move. Although he was still very jealous of his uncle the eldest grandson Wuji, the thirst for power pushed him forward, especially since he had a supporter like the Wu family by his side, as well as the support of ministers such as Li Ji.

"Zhong Aiqing, don't be polite!"

Li Zhi stretched out his hands to support him.

"Edict!"

Very abruptly, the official in the palace of Li Zhi's order announced the decree.

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned, before the court meeting, he didn't know what important will to be announced today, according to the rule, if the emperor wants to announce the decree, it will also have to go through the Zhongshu Gate, but today is obviously different.

"Tang Emperor Order!"

"Taiwei's eldest grandson, Wuji, is a Taishi, and he still knows the Chinese book and the two provincial affairs, presiding over the government! He was given the title of Doctor Chaosan, the third concubine of Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Taishi. ”

The first decree was read, but it was a reward for the eldest grandson Wuji, who was originally a captain, and the captain was one of the three princes with an honorable status. And Taishi is one of the three divisions.

In the Tang Dynasty, the three divisions and the three dukes are all of the first rank, with honorable status, and can sit and discuss with the emperor. However, in fact, these three divisions and three princes are just fictitious titles, and the nature of honor is higher. It is quite remarkable that a minister can be awarded the title of three divisions and three princes.

The prime minister is good, and these three divisions and three princes can get it.

The third division and the three dukes are nominally the first grade, but the third division is ranked before the three dukes, and the Taishi is at the head of the three divisions, and the eldest grandson Wuji has gone from the Taiwei to the Taishi, this grade has not changed, but it is obviously a reward.

And the emperor also crowned his three concubines out of the son Chaosan Doctor's rank, which is an official rank from the fifth grade, which can be described as a special honor.

"The minister's grandson is unscrupulous, he doesn't dare to receive the decree, he doesn't dare to accept it if he has no merit, and the minister doesn't dare to accept it."

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little confused about the emperor's intentions, and during this time, he and the emperor were very stiff because of the handling of Yuwenjie.

"Uncle Guo has worked hard and made great achievements, this is what you deserve." Li Zhi said lightly, there is no refusal.

The eldest grandson Wuji resigned again, but Li Zhi just ignored it today.

After the last three resignations, the eldest grandson Wuji had to take over this will first, and planned to turn around and resign.

"Emperor Taitang Order!"

The proclamator continued to read the decree.

"Tongzhongshu Menxia Sanpin, Sikong Li Jijia Taiwei, Zhishang Shu, save trouble, and preside over the government."

Another decree was announced.

Eldest Sun Wuji's brows furrowed even tighter, and even Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and others behind him frowned.

When the emperor was first established, the emperor crowned the eldest grandson Wuji as a lieutenant, inspecting the school, knowing the Shangshu and Zhongshu two provincial affairs, and presiding over the government.

The six ministries of the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty, the core of which is the three provinces of Shangshu, Menxia and Zhongshu. And the eldest grandson Wuji acted as the governor of Zhongshu Province, and was responsible for the affairs of Shangshu Province and Zhongshu Province, which is equivalent to one person in charge of three provinces, and indeed presided over the government.

But later, the eldest grandson Wuji resigned from the affairs of Shangshu Province, but although the eldest grandson Wuji resigned from the affairs of Shangshu Province, he cleverly arranged for his allies Chu Suiliang and others to serve as the left and right servants of Shangshu Province, and in fact, he was still in charge of the three provinces.

Especially at the beginning of the later period of Zhenguan, the central power of the imperial court has been transferred from Shangshu Province to Zhongshu and Menxia Province, and Zhongshu and Menxia have also begun to work together, collectively known as Zhongshu Menxia, and even the prime minister of the imperial court must also add the title of Sanpin under the same Zhongshu Door to be regarded as the real prime minister.

In the sealing of the eldest grandson just now, the eldest grandson was promoted to the Taishi, and was still in charge of the Zhongshu and the two provinces under the door, and still presided over the government.

But immediately the emperor brought Li Ji out again.

At the beginning of the new emperor's accession to the throne, Li Ji had the merit of supporting it, so he was awarded the title of Shangshu Zuo Servant, and added the third rank of the same Zhongshu Sect, ranking as the prime minister.

Later, the eldest grandson resigned from Shangshu to save trouble, and Li Ji also resigned from his position as a servant.

Although Li Ji still retains the title of prime minister of Tongzhongshu's Sanpin, he does not have the four words of presiding over the government like the eldest grandson.

Without these four words, then he is not as high as the eldest grandson, and the government is decided by the eldest grandson.

Now, Situ, one of the three dukes, has been promoted to the chief of the three dukes, and in particular, he has been given two important titles, knowing the book to save affairs and preside over the government.

The three provinces in the center, now the eldest grandson Wuji knows the middle book, the door is provincial, and Li Jizhi is the secretary of the province, and both of them jointly preside over the government, which is no longer the eldest grandson Wuji's final say.

"Decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

The decree continues to be read.

The eldest grandson Wuji's face became more and more ugly, and he finally understood something, the emperor was going to do something today. At this Shuori court meeting, the edict was issued in the form of an emperor's decree, not an official edict signed by the prime ministers of the Zhongshu Sect, which was a deliberate attempt to bypass him and catch him off guard.

After all, the emperor's decree is not an edict, it is a kind of edict that does not need to be drafted in the Chinese book, reviewed by the subordinates, and does not need to be signed by the prime ministers.

The emperor could have asked the central prime ministers to sign a formal edict afterwards, and the eldest grandson Wuji could refuse, but would Li Ji agree?

"Shangshu's left servant shot at Zhiningjia Sikong, and he was in the middle of the service."

"Shangshu's right servant shot Chu Suiliang plus Situ, and awarded the Zhongshu order."

It was two edicts in a row, which made people's eyes confused. The two most important allies of the eldest grandson Wuji, Yu Zhining and Chu Suiliang, who were also ministers of Gu Ming, were moved out of Shangshu Province and appointed as the governors of Zhongshu and Menxia Province respectively.

On the one hand, because Taizong had served as Shangshu Ling back then, the Tang Dynasty no longer gave Shangshu Ling this position, even if it was for the eldest grandson Wuji back then, it was only managed in the name of knowing Shangshu and saving trouble.

In the past, the deputy officials of Shangshu Province were left and right, and later they have always become the de facto chief officials of Shangshu Province, and they are on the same level as the chief officials of Zhongshu and Menmen.

The two of them were reappointed from servants to the governors of Zhongshu and Menxia Province, but they can still say that they were promoted.

But they all knew it wouldn't be that simple.

Li Jidu presided over the government, and also knew that Shangshu was in trouble, and now he has taken away the left and right servants, which is to take Shangshu Province away from them.

Shangshu Province is in charge of administration and has huge power.

"Han Ming, the Shangshu Lang of the Ministry of War, awarded the Huangmen Shilang, and added the three products under the same Zhongshu Sect."

"The official department of Shangshu came to teach the Zhongshu Shilang, and added the three products under the same Zhongshu door."

Han Ming, the secretary of the military department, and the secretary of the ministry came to Ji, both of whom were from the Guanlong group, and they were also from the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang group, and belonged to the veteran faction.

The two of them originally held the most important positions in the six ministries and the secretary of the military department, and now the emperor has promoted two people, one is the adjutant of the province of the door Huangmen Shilang, and the other is the adjutant of the Zhongshu Province, especially the three titles of the same Zhongshu Menxia, so that these two people are also ranked as prime ministers.

Just hit a stick, and now give two dates, the eldest grandson Wuji is puzzled.

"Decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Cui Dunli served as the secretary of the military department, and Li Yifu served as the secretary of the ministry and participated in the government affairs."

The eldest grandson Wuji took a deep breath.

It's a knife again.

Cui Dunli and Li Yifu are not his people, in the past, the two of them held idle positions, but now the emperor promoted them to important positions at once, and appointed two Shangshu, especially the title of participating in the government, although this title is not as good as the three grades under the Zhongshu Sect, but it is actually equivalent to the prime minister, and he can enter the central council and participate in politics.

The eldest grandson knew that the emperor was coming for him, because these two people had a holiday with him, so they were suppressed by him in the past, but now the emperor let them hold important positions and participate in court politics.

"Du Zhenglun awarded the Huangmen squire, Xu Jingzong awarded the squire under the door, and added the three products under the same Chinese book."

Chu Suiliang's eyes became sharp.

The emperor is so ruthless.

Du Zhenglun and Xu Jingzong, like Cui Dunli and Li Yifu, were suppressed in the past because of discord with the patriarchal faction in power, but now the emperor has given them important positions and entered the center to worship the prime minister.

The chief officials of Zhongshu and Menxia Province are Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong, and there are two squires below.

Now the eldest grandson Wuji is the secretary of the Chinese book and the province of trouble, Chu Suiliang is the secretary of the order, Yu Zhining is the servant, and there are Han Ying and Du Zhenglun as the Huangmen waiter, and Laiji and Xu Jingzong as the waiter of the middle book.

It turned out that the patriarchal faction in power not only directly lost control of Shangshu Province, but even the two provinces under the Zhongshu Sect have now inserted two squires, and both of them have bowed to the prime minister.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ji, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, Han Ying, Du Zhenglun, Xu Jingzong, Lai Ji, eight Tongzhong Shumen Sanpin, and Cui Dunli and Li Yifu participated in the government, which means that there are now ten prime ministers in the court.

Of the ten prime ministers, there are only five people on the side of the eldest grandson Wuji, just half of them.

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed in his heart that it was a pity that the three prime ministers Zhang Xingcheng, Gao Jifu, and Liu Shi died of illness last year, and they were all veterans of the Guanlong faction, with high seniority and prestige.

Their departure left several important vacancies in the DPRK and China at once.

"Decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Serving in the Yuwen Festival to confer the imperial history doctor, participate in the governor's affairs!"

Another one.

Although the Imperial Historian is not an official of the three provinces, the Imperial Historical Observatory in charge is extremely important, supervising hundreds of officials and impeaching lawlessness. Participating in political affairs and participating in the government actually mean the same thing, which means that Yuwenjie, who was originally driven down from the position of the waiter by the eldest grandson Wuji, not only successfully stayed, but also held an extremely important position.

The most important thing is that now there are eleven prime ministers in the center, but they only occupy five seats, which has become a minority.

Even Li Ji presided over the government like him and sat on an equal footing.

It's changed.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't expect that the emperor, who had always been obedient to him, would suddenly come to such a ruthless move, and he was a little caught off guard by this blow.

He really didn't expect it.

Who gave advice to the emperor, otherwise, with his understanding of the emperor, the emperor would never dare to be so tough with him now.

Who is it?

The eldest grandson Wuji looked around the Golden Palace, sweeping the faces of Li Ji, Yuwenjie, Xu Jingzong and others one by one, but he couldn't be sure.

Is it Li Ji, or Yuwenjie, or someone else?
