Early morning.

Five more and two points.

On the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace, the first morning drum of Chang'an City was sounded.

With the sound of this drum, the street drums on the streets of Chang'an City responded in unison, which is the dust and drums of the six streets described by the poets of the Tang Dynasty.

A new day has begun.

It is said that there were no street drums in the past, until the time of Zhenguan, Chang'an City was woken up by the soldiers patrolling the streets every morning with the roar of their voices, and later the prime minister Ma Zhou proposed to set up street drums.

That Ma Zhou was also born in a poor family, but in the end, he had to meet a famous gentleman step by step and finally became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity that because he was a good drinker when he was young, he got diabetes and died early.

In terms of background, Li Xiao is much stronger than Ma Zhou. At least Ma Zhou relied on the books he read in the family family, and later became a scribe in the state government, but he also had a conflict with his boss, resigned in a fit of anger to see the world, saw Chang'an City all the way, and finally gave Chang He as a guest to Zhonglang, and later because he wrote a recital for Chang He to the emperor and attracted the attention of Taizong Li Shimin, he was able to enter the court as an official, and then finally became the prime minister.

Li Xiao doesn't like to drink but is a winemaker and wine seller, and his family has a lot of money, thousands of acres of fertile land, and his career is even more incredible at a young age, everyone is one step at a time, he relies on corn and Quyuan plow, in less than a year, he is knighted and promoted, and now he is a scarlet silverfish.

Although the degree branch member Wailang did not become a member, Li Zhi, at the suggestion of the Wu family, specially ordered Li Xiao to serve as the acting Wang You.

The prince's palace in the Tang Dynasty had royal officials, state officials, and family affairs and tent mansions, the royal palace officials were in charge of the affairs in the palace, the state officials were in charge of the affairs of the fiefdom, and the relatives and the tent were in charge of the guards of the palace.

The state officials are of a lower grade, but the royal officials are of a higher grade.

For example, the prince Fu is the third grade, and the consultation and military participation are also on the fifth grade, and the prince and friend are from the fifth grade. The long history and Sima of the Prince's Mansion are from the fourth grade and from the fourth grade respectively.

Because the prince of the Tang Dynasty actually did not have a direct feudal state, so the state official team is relatively weak, although the prince sometimes goes out of the town, but most of them are appointed governors, assassins, especially after the Zhenguan Dynasty's King Qi rebellion, the court is more deeply protective of the prince.

Although it is not yet the time when the Xuanzong Dynasty began to lock up the princes and grandsons in Chang'an's Ten Princes Mansion and Baisun Courtyard to raise pigs, it can never be compared with the princes of the Wei and Jin dynasties, let alone the princes of the Han Dynasty.

The prince has no real feudal state, and the state official team is useless, but the government official team still attaches more importance to it. The configuration is complete, and the grade is high, especially the emperor's favored princes, who are generally served by more prestigious courtiers.

Wu proposed to Li Zhi that Li Xiao be the acting king of Li Hong's royal friend, and Li Zhi only thought about it for a while and agreed. After all, Li Hong is only the acting king, not the crown prince. And Wang You's duty is not better than that of Wang Fu to be in charge of the master's training, and his mistakes are not better than the counselor's scheming and consulting. It's not even like Changshi and Sima, who have to manage the government and discipline posts.

Wang You's duty is to accompany the waiter and make a sarcasm of morality.

If this position is compared with the position of the imperial court, this is actually equivalent to the duty of advising the doctor or the free rider, accompanying and regulating.

Unlike Changshi and Sima and other government officials, there are specific errands, and they are with them anyway.

Of course, now that the acting king is only three years old, he doesn't really need Li Xiao to accompany him, because the acting king has not yet left the cabinet, and he doesn't have his own real royal team.

But at this time, the Wu family couldn't wait for the emperor to arrange a team for Li Zhi, and the intention was obvious. Originally, the Wu family also suggested that Li Ji should be used as the acting king's fu, and Yuwenjie should be used as the acting king's adviser in the army.

But in the end, Li Zhi refused.

This is too obvious, Li Ji is the prince of the court, or the prime minister of the ruling government, let him be the acting prince, isn't this to tell the emperor of the world that he wants to make Li Hong the crown prince.

And Li Zhi felt that now was not the time.

However, it doesn't matter if Li Xiao is a contemporary Wang You, firstly, he can use this to test the attitude of the hundreds of officials in the court, and secondly, it can be regarded as a reward for Li Xiao.

In any case, Wang You is also a serious official from the fifth grade, and he has been promoted several levels compared to the sixth-grade official of the corn supervisor.

The official five-rank official, in the future, Li Xiao's scarlet silverfish will be worn justifiably.

If Li Xiao, the stone that asks for directions, is thrown down, and there are no big waves, then Li Zhi can try to open the mansion for Li Hong in advance.

The emperor sent a decree to the government hall.

The prime ministers were a little embarrassed.

The emperor's behavior is not very in accordance with the rules, the acting king is only three years old, and he has not opened a mansion, what kind of royal friends are appointed? When the prince leaves the cabinet, he must be at least fifteen years old, and he can only open the mansion after leaving the cabinet. I didn't go out of the cabinet, and what kind of house did I open.

The emperor is still wearing open crotch pants and stays in the palace every day, so he can't let Wang You also run into the inner court to accompany him, so how can it work?

Although the Zhongshu Sheren who is in charge of drafting the edict is not of high grade, he is an extremely powerful position, responsible for drafting the edict for the emperor.

The actual central body of government decision-making in Datang is the political affairs hall, and those who have the three products under the door of the same book are called prime ministers, and they can enter the hall to discuss matters.

Formally, state rights are enforced in the form of imperial edicts. Generally speaking, the master of the Zhongshu drafts the edict, the subordinate examines the edict, and the Zhongshu decree is either issued by the emperor, or the matter decided by the prime minister is handed over to the Zhongshu Sheren to draft the edict.

In the process of drafting the edict, the six members of the Zhongshu House can consult with each other, and allow each of them to see and sign their names, which is called the five-flower judgment.

These Zhongshu people are the people who draft the red-headed documents of the central government.

The emperor's intentions must be passed by the resolution of the prime ministers before they can be handed over to the Zhongshu Sheren for drafting, and after the Zhongshu Sheren draft the edict is handed over to the subordinates for deliberation, it can be officially issued and handed over to Shangshu Province for implementation.

Under this system, the imperial power is actually restricted, if it is an emperor as strong as Taizong, then it is natural to let the political affairs hall understand and pass his own intentions, but if Li Zhi has just taken office in the past few years, because the political affairs hall is the minister of Gu Life, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and other elders as the prime minister, so Li Zhi's words are actually not of much use to the prime minister, and they are often rejected by the eldest grandson.

And even the prime minister can't pass it, so how can he have the opportunity to draft it as an edict and pass the deliberation of his subordinates.

Without this set of procedures, then the emperor's will is actually a decree that has no formal legal effect, and the people below can abide by it or not.

Several Zhongshu people didn't want to draft this edict for the emperor, and felt that it was not in line with the system.

At a critical time, it was the Chinese book that made Li Ji speak.

"Your Majesty didn't say that he wanted to open a mansion for the acting king, let alone say that he would go out of the cabinet, and now he is just arranging a royal friend for him. In fact, everyone knows what is going on with this Wang You, but it is a part-time job given by His Majesty to Li Xiao, the corn supervisor, which is just a reward and reward for him, and it has nothing to do with whether or not to open the mansion, let alone any system or anything like that. ”

Li Ji's words mean that everyone gives the emperor a face, anyway, it's just a fictitious position and an official, the emperor likes Li Xiao, so let him give Li Xiao a part-time position, anyway, Li Xiao has already mentioned the five-grade Chaosan doctor at this level, and the part-time position is just to receive a little more money, and it doesn't matter what the facts are.

The emperor's face can not be given to the scholars, but the face of Taifu Li Ji has to be given, after all, Li Ji is the serious boss of the people in the middle school.

The edicts they usually draft, but in the end, they have to be handed over to the Zhongshu Shilang for polishing, and then the Zhongshu Shilang will finally be handed over to the Zhongshu Order for checking.

If Zhongshu Ling picks on them every time, then they don't want to continue to work in Zhongshu Province in the future.

So, after the six Zhongshu people went back, they quickly drafted an edict according to the emperor's will, and not long after Li Daozong, the Zhongshu waiter Li Daozong just returned to the dynasty, and Li Ji was called one of the three famous generals in the late Zhenguan period, and the prince of the clan only read it once, and then handed it to Li Ji word for word.

Li Ji casually changed one or two words, and then asked the Zhongshu people to copy them and send them to the emperor.

Emperor Li Zhi saw that his intention was understood by Zhongshu Province, and he was very satisfied with the drawing of an edict, and then passed it down.

The edict was sent to Menxia Province again, because this matter was discussed and passed in the political affairs hall, and the high-ranking officials and servants of the Yellow Gate had no opinion, so naturally it was also successfully passed.

Then, early in the morning, the angel came to Shengye Fang.

Li Xiao was also lying sideways on his wife's belly, listening to the movements in his daughter-in-law's belly, he could hear the heartbeat of the child fluttering inside, and occasionally he could hear the movement of the little guy tossing inside.

"Tossing so happily, it must be a handle."

Wan Niang is looking forward to having a son, after all, this is the first child. Hearing her husband's words, she was happy.

"Ah Lang, an angel has come to announce the decree, please come out and answer the decree."

Li Xiao took his family to set up an incense case to welcome the holy decree.

Today's Li family is no longer at that time, the holy decrees have been received many times, and there is no panic and excitement, everything is in an orderly manner, and there is no mistake.

After the decree was announced, Li Xiao had an additional part-time job.

In addition to the corn prison, he has become a representative of Wang You. The post corn supervisor, from the sixth grade, part-time acting on behalf of Wang You, from the fifth grade, this rank is also from the fifth grade of the dynasty scattered Daifu.

In addition to receiving more part-time jobs, in fact, the new part-time job has no ministry, after all, His Royal Highness the Acting King is only three years old, and he has not yet left the cabinet, and it is impossible for Li Xiao to go to the harem to accompany the sarcasm.

Li Xiao accepted the holy decree, gave two gold leaves to the eunuch who passed the decree, and gave a small bottle of perfume, no matter whether people are popular in the palace or not, they are always on an errand in the palace, and they can't be offended.

Along with several people who came together, Li Xiao also gave some gifts each, so that everyone praised Li Xiao.

After the people left, Li Xiao returned to the house, looked at the holy decree, and couldn't help frowning.

It seems that the Wu family really doesn't plan to let him go, and in the blink of an eye, he has become the acting Wang You, and now he has completely become Li Hong's team.

He didn't even want to stand in line, but the Wu clan directly stood up for him.
