Canonizing the crown prince is not a trivial matter.

According to the rules set by Li Yuanji before, once the crown prince is canonized, the remaining princes must all be canonized.

The rules of this canonization seem a little strange, but in fact there is nothing strange about it, some dynasties in history have titles since the prince was born, some have titles when they reach adulthood, and some are prescribed for an age, which prince will be canonized separately when he arrives.

But this approach taken by Li Yuanji is not without a trace in history.

In history, when Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty canonized the crown prince, he adopted this method, the eldest son Liu Rong was canonized as the crown prince, and the other princes all received the title.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was stained with glory because of this, and finally replaced Liu Rong as the crown prince.

Of course, if Liu Rong was more powerful, if Liu Rong's mother was not so arrogant, Liu Che's little boy would not have a chance.

Similarly, the method of dividing the seal of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was adopted, and Li Yuanji also learned the lesson.

This is another change in Li Yuanji's canonization, learning the lessons of history and the lessons of Xuanwumen.

For the princes, once they are crowned kings, it means that they have completely lost the opportunity to become the crown prince, unless the prince dies by himself, or he can't survive the emperor.

In addition to the difference in status, the other is education, after the canonization, the education of all princes will be biased towards personal hobbies, mainly to cultivate their interests, except for political and military.

These are things that only the prince can touch, and in order to protect the interests of the prince, Li Yuanji has done things to the extreme, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics or interfere in the selection of the prince.

This provision was not written into the Tang law, but it was written into the royal law, that is, the family law and family rules of the royal family, which is a rather strange decision.

Don't underestimate the power of clan rules, in this era, the clan power is still relatively powerful, even in later generations, it is also a force that cannot be ignored.

And a person who violates the clan rules, even if he is executed by the clan rules in this era, will not be punished by the criminal law.

Of course, the clan rules are not so strict, and they require people's lives at every turn, unless they steal people and dip them in pig cages or something.

But even so, it is enough to see Li Yuanji's attitude towards this matter.

And canonizing the crown prince is actually a very troublesome thing, and the preparation work that needs to be done is still very large.

The crown prince had the power to open the palace, and at the same time, it was also to prepare for the future accession to the throne, which was a very important step in the history of China.

Whether the Kaifu Nashi can recruit talented people determines whether the crown prince can quickly control the government after ascending the throne, and whether he can stabilize the country without turmoil.

At the same time, this also determines what kind of achievements the new emperor can achieve after he ascends the throne.

The East Palace, in fact, is a small court, once the throne, the personnel of the East Palace will become the team of the new court, the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, refers to this, some old ministers can continue to stay, but except for some very few people, and the status is not particularly important, the status of most of the old ministers will be gradually marginalized.

Again, the auxiliary minister is the most dangerous, and history has proved that there are really not many auxiliary ministers who have a good end.

And those who have a good end, most of them can see their position clearly, and will not be too attached to power, when the emperor can rule alone, if they retreat according to the trend, the emperor will naturally not embarrass them, but how many can really do this?

This seems to be a bit off-topic, but it doesn't.

The opening of the East Palace does not mean that it is enough to just throw the prince over, Li Yuanji also has to appropriately select one or two ministers to assist in the past, and these two people will be the future auxiliary ministers in nine times out of ten.

After all, the crown prince is young, and he doesn't have the ability to decide many things on his own, and he also needs people around him to help the staff.

Everything is going on unhurriedly, without much change or resistance.

The research work of the Academy of Sciences is also being adjusted, tilting towards industry and agriculture, and the military industry has not reduced its efforts, but in the short term, it will not increase its efforts.

The biggest change is the various yamen of the imperial court, these yamen are still very busy recently, but they are not busy with new plans, but are busy dealing with previous problems, and the unfinished plans are completed step by step, and new projects have hardly appeared.

The time came to the end of the sixth year of Shenyuan, and it had been nine years since Li Yuanji came to this world, and he also came to the end of the sixth year of his reign.

To sum up, there are regrets and satisfactions, and on the whole, Li Yuanji is relatively satisfied with the past six years.

And the next few days, for Li Yuanji, it is basically equivalent to a messy life, he has long passed the age of impulsiveness and excitement, and now Datang is steadily improving everywhere, as long as he maintains this direction, even if Li Yuanji does nothing, there may not be any bad results.

There is only one month left to reach the New Year's Day, and the sky outside is constantly drifting with heavy snow, and the snow is a good year.

Although the weather is not very good, no one in Datang at this moment is annoyed by this bad weather.

Of course, the Ministry of Engineering is an exception, and the bad weather has forced the construction site to stop, and there is no way to carry out construction in such weather conditions.

Before the winter, after many efforts, after investing in five new rollers and ten trucks, the cement road was finally repaired to Tongguan (Tongchuan).

It can be said that a lot of experience has been accumulated in road construction, of course, the whole road has not yet been fully connected, and the source lies in the bridge on the Weishui River, which has not yet been completed, which is the biggest problem.

As for the newly built bridge, sorry, until now, the piers have not been built, as for the reason, it is more embarrassing, until now, I have not found a suitable concrete for building in the water.

Naturally, Li Yuanji doesn't need to worry about these things, and what Li Yuanji is worrying about at the moment is about the selection of the auxiliary minister of the East Palace.

If he could, Li Yuanji would prefer to send a few more people over, so that Li Chengguang could grow faster.

But reason told him that it was impossible, absolutely impossible.

The imperial court can't draw so many people, and there are more people who go, which will affect Li Chengguang's development.

"Your Majesty, as for the candidates, why don't you choose some people with good character from among the new officials who joined the past few years? Then send a minister to serve as a concurrent. Fang Xuanling said with a headache.

It stands to reason that the most suitable candidate for the East Palace is Li Chengguang's classmates, they are familiar enough, and Li Chengguang also knows whose character is what, so that with the help of other people, the overall structure of the East Palace will come out.

There is still time, and if you feel that it is not suitable later, you can change it again.

But the question is that Li Chengguang's classmates are all little children, and each one is not more than ten years old, so let a bunch of children go to the East Palace to play at home?

And there is another problem, the subordinate officials of the East Palace should not be too old, because according to the current situation, if Li Chengguang ascends the throne, he will have to wait for more than 20 years, and if he is forty years old now, when he ascends the throne, it is still one thing if he is not there.

So the best choice is to be in your twenties, and when you ascend the throne, you will be just forty or fifty years old, and you will be just the right age or something, even if you go directly to the cabinet, it will not seem too hasty.

Age doesn't mean anything, but it's still important for this kind of thing.

"The subordinate officials are not in a hurry, they can let Chengguang choose by themselves in the future, the minister's words ......" Li Yuanji was a little hesitant, he had thought about this problem for a long time, and he also selected a few people to come out, but the problem was still that problem, they could not follow the whole process, they could only serve concurrently.

"I plan to let Li Jing, Wei Zheng, and Ma Zhou assist."

"That's okay!" Fang Xuanling nodded.

When Li Yuanji said these three names, Fang Xuanling knew what Li Yuanji meant.

Originally, it was enough to be two people, this is the inevitability of the separation of civil and military, the prince not only has to understand politics, but also knows soldiers, in the past, civil and military families were not separated, and it was enough to go to a shrewd minister, but now it is not good, there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is still necessary to assist with a civil and military force.

Of course, they didn't teach the prince how to play the imperial mind and how to fight.

There is no need to teach these at all, civilian officials teach governance, and military attaches teach military affairs.

Needless to say, Li Chengguang has been studying all these years, this military refers to standing at the national level, if you need to start a war, how to think about it, how to deal with it, and consider it from the perspective of a neutral, whether this war should be fought or not, and whether it is worth fighting?

Whether you can make a reasonable decision about a war, this is very important, as for how to fight the battle, it is a matter of the front-line generals, and it has nothing to do with the emperor, so you can't go to the imperial conquest in person, right? Even if the emperor is personally on the expedition, the emperor will play a role in boosting morale, and he will not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, and he will not personally command the battle.

But sending Wei Zheng over as a counselor is more interesting.

Wei Zheng's hair dryer didn't have much effect on Li Yuanji, maybe he couldn't bear to see Wei Zheng go down like this, so Li Yuanji found him a place where he could display his ambitions.

Compared with Li Yuanji, it is still better to train Li Chengguang, first of all, Li Chengguang does not have the momentum of Li Yuanji, and he will not be so thoughtful in doing things, all in all, for Wei Zheng, it is a good place to take advantage of the opportunity to expand his reputation.

And for Li Chengguang, it is also a good thing that these three people have passed.
