Chapter 571: The Old and the New
The supreme administrative power of the Tang Empire began to be handed over in the first month of the eleventh year of the Apocalypse, and when Zhang Jianzhong arranged the affairs of the Youzhou Political Envoy and rushed back to Chang'an to begin to formulate a new cabinet team with the assistance of Tuoba Siji, Cen Tianshi, who had already left office, was also constantly discussing with Li Xuanqing the principles of the composition of this first political party group and related systems.
"Sir, it is better to carry out propaganda in advance, and take advantage of the current change of the old and new cabinets, when the attention of the people and all strata of the empire is focused on the political arena of Chang'an, and the idea of the party is first publicized in the empire. In the next few days, I will publish a signed article in the monthly magazine of the media group, explaining the necessity of political reform in the empire, and playing a role for my husband. Li Xuanqing said with a smile: "And during this time, Mr. has also found some people in the upper echelons of Chang'an politics, right?" ”
"Sure enough, you can't hide anything from the emperor's eyes." Cen Tianshi nodded and said: "I have drafted a few articles here, the emperor will help me take a look, if there is no problem, I will immediately go to the media group for a special report." "Cen Tianshi is naturally not idle these days, because the caretaker cabinet of Tuoba Sizhi is carrying out the transfer of power, so Cen Tianshi, who is idle, is in contact with all the high-level cabinets, on the one hand, guiding them to complete the handover of the old and new as soon as possible, and on the other hand, they are also exchanging views with them, after all, except for Li Xuanqing and his wife, no one has really contacted the political party, and this kind of political group is still a little taboo. After all, in the last years of the previous dynasty, the dispute between friends and parties in the court was too serious to consume all the last bit of vitality of the Tang Dynasty after Anshi, and the last chance of Zhongxing was buried in vain. At this time, if you rashly mention the political party to the people, if you do not understand clearly and do not recognize the internal truth, it will inevitably cause an uproar. This is the reason why Cen Tianshi has not carried out large-scale actions these days, except for the formulation of the principles of the party's composition. However, if this matter is clarified by Li Xuanqing, it will be much easier to do, after all, with the current prestige of Li Xuanqing in the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty, as long as he puts forward the initiative first, then the people's side will have much less resistance, at least when Cen Tianshi appears to publicize it, he will be able to leave it in the hearts of the people, this is the concept of acting according to orders, and will not be regarded by the people who do not know the truth as a chaotic party of the cholera court.
On the first day of the first month of March, a special issue appeared in the monthly magazine of the media group, which published a signed article by Li Xuanqing, and there was also a national propaganda decree, explaining the importance of political innovation, and the general election of the cabinet is the most important part of the political life of the empire, because every election of the prime minister is directly related to the direction of imperial politics, and the political party election and rotation system can ensure that power will not be held by certain groups for a long time, which also gives all the people an opportunity to participate in imperial politics. The slogan of the whole people's participation in politics has since been spreading. This special issue spread throughout the empire in a very short period of time, and most of the people in the empire, who had already stepped out of the struggle line for food and clothing and began to gradually enjoy the dividends of industrial development, began to carefully ponder the meaning of Li Xuanqing's article, and privately discussed the true meaning of the rotation system and political party elections. At this time, Li Xuanqing asked the caretaker cabinet to issue to all the provincial units of the empire and the subordinate administrative system also required all incumbent officials to cooperate with this unprecedented propaganda, and for a while, the word "political party" became a new term in the mouths of all the people after dinner, and even those old and young people of the previous dynasty were muttering to themselves, and even those former great families who had been beaten to the end by various reforms were also pondering this matter.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cen Tianshi's outline of the party's preparations began to be promulgated and published one after another, so that the focus of public opinion was shifted by Li Xuanqing and Cen Tianshi to discuss the principles of political party preparation and establishment, and the things that were worried about before were quickly drowned out because they were not the focus of public opinion. However, unlike Cen Tianshi, who was preparing to name him the "Tang Fuxing Society" in the near future, the first political party to be established in Chang'an, Li Xuanqing's side was blocked by someone, to be precise, by the old and young people who left him before. These people even directly pulled Du Rangneng, the former Zhenguan celebrity, over.
"Your Majesty, there is no way, these bosses have to come to the emperor one by one, but when they arrived at the palace gate, they were blocked by the Imperial Forest Army and pulled Weichen over." Du Rangneng looked at Li Xuanqing and said with a wry smile: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, these bosses are not unreasonable, but they are just worried that this political party will form a partisan dispute between the DPRK and the central government, trying to drain the vitality of my new dynasty." ”
"Forget it, this matter will have to be resolved sooner or later, just right. Let Brother Neng, you go and get busy, I'll do it myself. Li Xuanqing instructed the Imperial Forest Army to bring these elders to the New Year's Prayer Hall, and he also put down the summary of the election of the Senate members who had just been halfway written in his hand and rushed over with Qiaoxi.
"The ministers see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." A group of old people knelt down towards Li Xuanqing and frightened him, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the three people led by him up and said with a wry smile: "Everyone, please get up, now Datang is no longer happy to kneel and worship, everyone please sit." Li Xuanqing sat on the main seat and beckoned everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "The seniors came to the capital to run up and down for state affairs regardless of their old age, and Xuanqing is grateful. ”
"The emperor praises falsely, although we are old, but we were born in a prosperous era, and the emperor overcame obstacles and swept away the filth to rebuild the Tang Dynasty Such a new atmosphere, we can't allow those people with ulterior motives to deceive Your Majesty in tandem with each other, and consume this hard-won prosperous scene." The person at the head stood up tremblingly for the old man and bowed to Li Xuanqing and said: "Old minister Cui Yin, enlighten the emperor, Cen Tianshi and the courtiers are vainly trying to form a revival society, in fact, they are openly forming a gang and faction, in a vain attempt to disrupt our dynasty, and please ask the emperor not to be bewitched by it, and quickly exterminate the chaotic party, so as to correct the eyes of the subjects of the world." "This Cui Yin was originally the squire of the military department of the Zhaozong Dynasty, he could be regarded as a famous minister at that time, and he was also the son of the Cui family of Qinghe, who was nearly sixty years old at this time, but he was still full of temperament when he spoke. As soon as he finished speaking, a person immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, what Duke Cui said is very true, and I also ask the emperor to kill the chaotic party and clean up the dynasty, so as not to be taken advantage of by traitors and ruin the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty in vain." ”
"Oh, according to the meaning of urging the boss, Mr. Cen is so-called to bring disaster to the country and the people, and to deceive the king? Could it be that in the past ten years, the cabinet led by Mr. Shum has misled the country and the people? Li Xuanqing looked at the veteran Zheng Yuangui who had no hair, but Qiaoxi couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Cen is my hero of the Tang Dynasty, and he has worked hard with the emperor since the dangerous place of Fengzhou, and has never had a moment of leisure for more than ten years. If this can be regarded as misleading the country and the people, then I really don't know what kind of person is my loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. Qiaoxi's crisp voice was not merciless at all, "The elders rushed to Chang'an from all over the country to run up and down for state affairs despite their old age, and my big brother and I are very grateful, but what I want to say is, what is a political party?" What is rotation? Have you clearly understood the essence of Mr. Shum's formation of a political party? Today's Tang Empire is not the previous dynasty, this is an unprecedented empire, we need to face an unprecedented era, bother you to go around and see more, how many new things do we have to face? Is it really possible to manage this empire well? Do you still want to live through the great turmoil of that year? Do you still want to watch Huaxia Kyushu once again immersed in the boundless war? ”
"What does the queen mean by this? We are ignorant and cannot understand it, can it be that this so-called political party has other meanings? There was a thin old man sitting next to Zheng Yuangui, but this Li Xuanqing recognized that Hu Xue, a native of Wuyuan in later generations, is now a respected old minister. However, before he finished his words, Zheng Yuangui spoke again: "Your Majesty, we are here to discuss national affairs, although the queen's status is precious, it is better not to intervene on such occasions, lest the world be foolish and mistakenly think that the harem is interfering in politics and ruining the good reputation of our emperor." ”
"Really? Old General Zheng, then according to your meaning, I have to let Qiaoxi retreat? Li Xuanqing glanced at the other party with a smile and continued: "I already know the purpose of your coming here, but what I want to say is that Mr. Cen was originally appointed to form the Datang Fuxing Society this time, so don't say more. This is a major event that benefits the country and the people, involving all the subjects of the empire, giving them a chance to participate in the government, and also giving them a chance to choose, choosing a prime minister who is more beneficial to them and better to come to power, only in this way can those measures that benefit the country and the people be implemented as soon as possible, and only in this way can the people from now on put the responsibility of the empire in their hearts, and the meaning of being the hero of the empire is like this. Li Xuanqing ignored Zheng Yuangui's choking and his face turned black and continued: "As for the harem politics, what I want to say is that now is a new era, and women can also do things for officials and work for the welfare of the people. What's more, you think that what Qiao Xi said is not reasonable? My husband and I have always been one, and the words of the cleverness are the words I have to say. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have nothing to do, stay in Chang'an, take a good look at this era with your own eyes, take a good look at Mr. Cen's political party, and don't question those who understand many things if you don't understand them. The ancients said that knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing, this is the bearing of a wise man, rather than relying on his own identity to hinder the New Deal. Li Xuanqing's words were not polite at all, and directly tore the hearts of these old ministers who originally wanted to debate with him and want Li Xuanqing to change their decision, so everyone didn't know how to speak for a while. However, if they didn't speak, it didn't mean that Li Xuanqing and Qiaoxi were also silent, Qiaoxi saw Li Xuanqing and smiled at himself, and immediately said: "If you bosses can't continue to serve the country, you must also take a good start for young people, because the future of an empire is young people, and their vitality is the most urgent trait of the empire." ”
"Does the emperor dislike me for being old?" Cui Yin trembled at these words, but he still spoke: "If the emperor obstructs the emperor's great cause for us, then I will leave immediately, and I will never participate in court politics again." ”
"That's okay, you go home to recuperate, if you retire at home because of the new Datang policy, it will be my Xuanqing's sin, and it will also be Datang's loss." Li Xuanqing got up and said: "Today, I summoned you in this New Year's Prayer Hall to think that you have experienced the turmoil of the previous dynasty, and naturally you have insight into the world and can understand what kind of situation we need to face in the Tang Dynasty today, and what kind of era we are in now, and can perceive the meaning and essence from the promulgation of today's government and government, so as to make a good start for the people." But what I didn't expect was that all of you, who I had high hopes for, would become the hindrances of the New Deal, so if that's the case, I would like to wait and see if Mr. Shum can create a different political system. ”
After Li Xuanqing finished speaking, he pointed to the portrait of the former emperor on the wall behind the hall and said: "You should take a good look at the previous emperors in this New Year's Hall, and then think about how you should be loyal to the country, right?" How old are you and you're still playing with the crowd, what is this for? Do you really think I'm weak and can be bullied? Li Xuanqing didn't give these people face at all, and even flicked his sleeves and walked out with Qiaoxi.
"Big brother, don't be angry, these old people are stubborn, so naturally they can't understand our set." Qiaoxi saw that Li Xuanqing's face was still changing after he came out, and he immediately comforted him.
"I'm not angry with these people, but they have also reminded us that we need to cultivate a new generation of Datang citizens." Li Xuanqing thought for a while and suddenly smiled: "Fortunately, we have seeds, so coincidental, these days you have worked hard to visit various universities and colleges, these young talents are the pioneers of an era, as long as they accept our concept of governance, then the seeds can take root and then sprout and grow." ”
"What the big brother said is that all the new things in the future generations started to spread from college students?" Qiao Xi suddenly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Let's go in front, let Mr. Cen and them in the back, so that when all the large and small colleges and universities in the empire are walked by us, at least more than a million elites of the era will follow our steps, then this team will get bigger and bigger with the passage of time." Add to that this complete civil service of ours, and the empire is stable. ”
Li Xuanqing nodded and said, "Is it possible that you and I can carry thousands of years of knowledge and knowledge, and still lose to an old society?" His words were naturally understandable, so the two of them ignored the fact that there was already a quarrel in the New Year's Hall at this time and went hand in hand. (https:)
