The simple words that came out of Li Yuanji's mouth were a deep blow to the entire Confucianism.

Almost a sentence freezes them as empty talk, perhaps this sentence will be a little biased.

However, the turmoil caused is not small at all.

This world is the world of the Li family, and it is also the world of Confucianism, hundreds of years of operation, so that their branches and leaves are scattered all over the country, the influence of Confucianism, not much weaker than the royal family, and even in some aspects, Confucianism will be better.

Most of the time, even the great families did not dare to provoke Confucianism.

However, Li Yuanji did just that, not only did he do so, but he also offended Confucianism all at once, and there was almost no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.

This may be good news for the other factions that are hiding in the country, at least proving that their chance to re-emerge has arrived.

Good news or bad news, as time goes on, the enthronement has arrived.

All officials in Chang'an, regardless of their rank, are required to be present, although they may not see anything.

Unless the officials are named in person, the rest must also send a congratulatory letter.

On this day, apart from the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, there are not many things that everyone else is busy with.

"Are you all here?" Seeing that the time had come, Fang Xuanling, who was temporarily acting as the secretary of the ministry, asked the waiter beside him.

The enthronement ceremony is a major event, even if you can't see it, people must be there, and the officials must also do an assessment, unless they are really sick enough to die frequently, everyone else must come.

"There are still more than 100 people left!"

"How?" Fang Xuanling frowned, the new emperor ascended the throne, and someone dared to refuse to be there?

"They are all officials related to Confucianism." The squire replied in a low voice.

The meaning is already obvious, these people are unlikely to come.

Li Yuanji said that Confucianism is useless, and now it has spread throughout Chang'an, or it won't be long before it spreads throughout the Tang Dynasty.

How big of a blow will this be to Confucian prestige?

Some Confucian officials who understand and adapt will naturally not provoke the new emperor because of this matter, but some tenacious guys can't manage so much.

Since you think that my Confucianism is useless, then what are we going to do with it?

"Cheng Zhijie didn't come either, and the person sent to inform him said that Cheng Zhijie refused the invitation on the grounds that the prince forbade him to leave home for half a year." In addition to those Confucian officials, Cheng Zhijie is also a headache.

As we all know, after the enthronement ceremony, those who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded.

Cheng Zhijie is the first merit and should be present, but this product refused to be present without hesitation, and said it so calmly and generously.

"Don't worry about him, make a note of all the people who didn't come this time, if it's in our list, we'll get rid of them after the ceremony, where are they coming from!" Fang Xuanling's heart was full of bitter instructions.

I have never encountered this myself, and it has rarely happened in history.

I didn't even dare to come to the emperor's enthronement ceremony, how hard do I think my life is?

As for Cheng Zhijie, he is a smart person.

He found a problem for himself, and then spared himself from the first work this time, and also annihilated himself among everyone, making people gradually forget what he had done.

Killing the lord, this reputation is not something that ordinary people can resist, Fang Xuanling understands Cheng Zhijie's situation at the moment.

……

A grand enthronement ceremony, a dull atmosphere.

Under the auspices of the Ministry of Rites, the edict of Emperor Li Yuan was first read out, which was available half a month ago, and now it is just a matter of re-reading.

Then came the second link, worshipping the sky, on a high platform, also guided by the people of the Ministry of Rites, Li Yuanji pretended to pose in a pose, this link is considered to be in the past.

The third link is the amnesty of the world, except for the capital crimes and other serious criminals, the rest of the prisoners are released, this is no different from the previous amnesty of the world, the same template, replaced with some words, it became Li Yuanji's amnesty edict.

Li Yuanji was like a puppet, wearing a yellow dragon robe and a crown, and he was carrying out the next step under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites.

The fourth link is the promulgation of the edict of enthronement, which was also prepared by a special person in advance, and the edict was reviewed by the Ministry of Rites and several prime ministers, and it was confirmed that it was correct.

Then there is the jade seal of the country, a symbol of imperial power.

With the accompaniment of the ceremonial musicians in the palace, Li Yuanji boarded the dragon chair with the support of Song Zhong and accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials.

Then there is the last link, which is to pay tribute to the temple, the shrine and the people.

After this whole process, the whole day passed.

Everyone, including Li Yuanji, only ate a little in the morning, and then starved for a whole day.

The ceremony ended, the crowd left in an orderly manner, and the bustling sound.

In a certain corner, young people of about 100 people did not move, and they did not dare to move without orders from the officials.

Compared with those officials who stayed outside, they were undoubtedly much luckier, at least they could see the emperor faintly.

"It's worth it! It's not in vain to ...... this life" Jing Bo waved his fist with excitement on his face, shouting excitedly.

The other candidates around are also no different from the state of Jingbo, as a candidate who has just passed the first exam, what kind of honor is it to be qualified to see the emperor's enthronement ceremony?

And their location is also excellent, surrounded by officials above the seventh grade, and even here, the seventh rank can only stay in the corner and squat with them white-bodied.

"It's true that this life is in vain, but I didn't expect that people like you and me, who think they didn't do well in the exam, are also qualified to enter the next round." Shangguan Yi was a little excited and a little embarrassed.

I was excited that I successfully entered the next round, and I was closer to being an official, but the embarrassing thing was that I was not satisfied with the results of the exam, and I didn't even know how many points I could get in the first forty points?

"Let's go, Your Majesty will summon you!" The official in charge of managing these candidates said with some red eyes, he was busy for more than half a month and didn't see His Majesty summoning him, these boys didn't help anything, so they were summoned, where to reason?

The group of candidates who had already won the jackpot were even more surprised and happy at this moment, as if they had entered a cave room, and they were even more excited than the title of the gold list.

How many people's goal in this life is to be able to see the emperor from afar?

Now, they have a chance......

……

Taiji Palace, Li Yuanji after ascending the throne is very uncomfortable, the emperor has many rules, and there are people everywhere to keep an eye on, so as not to be rude or something.

In my heart, I really don't want to be this emperor, I am too tired, too unfree, and very uncomfortable.

In his hand is the list of ministers who were not present at today's enthronement ceremony.

Among them, there are some characters that they value themselves, but it is a pity that they have suffered too much from Confucianism.

So much so that he can't tell the difference between good and bad, and can't tell the meaning of his words.

In this regard, I can only express my disappointment, extreme disappointment.

There is nothing to hesitate about, and there is nothing to regret, with a stroke of the pen, the names of these hundred and ten people will be crossed out from the roster of Datang officials.

Li Yuanji happily signed and crossed out, making Fang Xuanling's heart tremble uncontrollably, those people have a lot of important people.

"Why didn't Your Majesty send someone to communicate with him? If it doesn't work out, at least Your Majesty will be benevolent, righteous and benevolent, and the people of the world will have nothing to say. Before Fang Xuanling could speak, Wei Zheng directly admonished.

"What should we do with today's affairs according to the law?" Li Yuanji glanced at it slightly and said majestically.

"Dismissal at the slightest, capital punishment at the worst!" Wei Zheng said.

"If I don't cure their crimes, it can be regarded as benevolence, righteousness, and kindness, and you can't even understand a word, tell me, how can I convince myself to persuade them to come back?" Li Yuanji was not angry, and asked rhetorically towards Wei Zheng.

Give them a lot of leeway to save face, but they still have to do it.

Maybe he can't accept that Confucianism is preached like this, or maybe he can't accept the reality of losing his dominance.

But more than 100 people are absent from work together, and the most important ceremony of the dynasty is the enthronement ceremony.

"The minister knows His Majesty's intentions very well, but this is not the time to act rashly, and His Majesty should take this matter slowly." Wei Zheng continued to advise and changed the master, but he did not plan to change his identity and status.

"Willy?" Li Yuanji deliberately raised his voice, if he wants to live a good life, he must either make drastic improvements and use a period of time to complete his ideas, or die in the improvement, anyway, he has left so many things, even if Datang is destroyed by himself, then before he does it, he must help his successor solve some stubborn diseases as much as possible.

At least he won't be like Li Shimin, who left himself such a mess.

"What if a person suffers from a minor disease that is not difficult to treat, and waits until the disease is more serious, and then spends more energy to treat it? Or did you strangle it at the source as early as the beginning? ”

"Naturally, it is strangled at the source!" The degree of Li Yuanji's good argumentation made Wei Zheng a little hard to believe, this was absolutely impossible before, and this question made him have to answer, and he had to answer it according to his thoughts.

"I didn't say that Confucianism just can't do it, but the times have proved that Confucianism is a big family, and there is no benefit to the development of the community. To change, change those that are not suitable, stay, and carry forward those who are suitable, those who understand my meaning are here today, and those who can't understand think that I am destroying his Confucian foundation again, and they are all at home today. Li Yuanji squinted his eyes slightly, Confucianism is far more difficult to deal with than the family, but at a specific time, Confucianism is very easy to deal with.

"In that case, why did I not do what they wanted? What about a more complete destruction? ”
