54 Shenlong Coup
The two princes surnamed Wu left ten people each.
This is already Wu Zetian's extra kindness, no one can guarantee the timeliness of this grace, maybe Wu Zetian will regret it not long after the order.
They hastened to pick out the most useful ones.
Among the six departments, the official department is the best able to cultivate new strength, the household department is the best able to understand the general trend of the world, and the military department is the best to make a fortune.
The Ministry of Rites is the most useless, but it is the Ministry of Rites that can really achieve an overwhelming advantage in pomp and circumstance, announcing to the entire Luoyang City that they are people who cannot be messed with, so as to establish the prestige of the martial arts and do good things for the emperor.
The two of them left a few people in each of these four parts.
After these things were settled, Shen Sanwen revealed the idea of starting to move the Punishment Department.
Before it began, there was a wave of opposition from the early morning.
The punishment cannot be short, the personnel cannot be reduced, the process cannot be changed, and the call is particularly high.
The threshold of the princess's mansion was broken, and all kinds of old ministers came to stop it.
Shen Sanwen didn't care, he met them all.
He wants to use his theoretical knowledge to refute them, so that these people really understand what the role of punishment is.
The first one to come is not surprisingly Di Renjie, an old man who has been fighting on the front line all year round.
However, no one can stop Shen Sanwen from continuing to change, and he has to transform the active departments, so that these new generation of court officials can truly become Zhou officials who serve the people.
It is no longer a moth that eats rice, nor is it simply to serve the powerful, but to truly serve the people, so that every ordinary person is more equal and free, not limited to the rules formulated by various imperial courts, and lives more easily.
Whether it is a civil dispute, or some dealings with the imperial court, paying taxes, or others, the process is clear and the procedure is simplified.
Di Renjie was angry when he came, and he was satisfied when he left.
When Shen Sanwen revealed these ideals and plates, Di Renjie seemed to see the young man he met for the first time, full of economy and a degree of advance and retreat.
It's just that I don't have the cowardice and doubts I had at the beginning, and I really take these big things to heart, and I plan to confront all forces and really do this well.
Shen Sanwen put forward many new concepts, such as letting power run in the sun, the people are the foundation of the country, the official standard is not feasible, and the privileges of officials are the root cause of social progress and development. Officials are the public servants of the people, not the parents of the people, and they serve the people, not control the life and death of the people.
These concepts coincide with Di Renjie's long-standing thoughts.
Since Shen Sanwen is based on this, the various changes proposed are also to enable officials to do their jobs better.
Di Renjie can still say anything?
He raised his hands in approval.
Di Renjie left, took away a larger group of originally critical personnel, and even wrote a memora to persuade Wu Zetian to agree to the change of the horse.
On the night of the completion of this recital, Di Renjie passed away with a smile.
The cause he has insisted on for many years has finally found a successor, and the teaching of the emperor and grandson has also begun to become a climate, and this old man no longer has anything to worry about.
The white silk was hung up in the Di Mansion, and countless Luoyang people gathered outside the mansion to offer incense to Di Renjie in turn.
The filial sons and grandsons of the Di family responded one by one.
Shen Sanwen was greatly taken aback when he heard this bad news, he was still good when he saw it yesterday, but he didn't expect that today he would be separated forever.
Shen Sanwen and the princess went to the Lingtang to pay respects, and Di Renjie's eldest son, Di Guangsi, personally greeted him and presented a handwritten letter.
The three of them entered the inner hall to discuss in detail, and Shen San asked Fang to know the cause of Di Renjie's death.
He has been sick for a long time and has been tormented by illness, but he can't rest assured that the people of the world can't see through the current situation, but after seeing Shen Sanwen yesterday, he suddenly understood that the future will definitely be better, and he went home to explain the afterlife, and he never got up the next day.
Shen Sanwen offered incense in front of Di Renjie's spiritual seat, and vowed to inherit Di Lao's legacy and make the people of Dazhou live a better life.
Soon after Wu Zetian received Di Renjie's recital, he received Di Renjie's bad news.
The death of a deceased friend is not sad.
It's just that this time Wu Zetian didn't say anything about the empty court, but just said firmly.
"Di Aiqing has gone all the way, and after the reform presided over by Shen Sanwen blows all over the Great Zhou, the country will inevitably become stronger in the future, and there will be more loyal ministers in the court."
When Di Renjie was about to be buried, it was a rainy day, and the people of Luoyang braved the rain to see him off.
Shen Sanwen looked at the pedestrians along the way and the crowd carrying the coffin, and waved goodbye to the boss.
Go all the way.
The reform of the criminal department has not yet been completed, and at this time there is another bad news.
Wu Zetian changed the Yuan Shenlong.
When Shen Sanwen heard the news, the pen in his hand fell to the ground, and he couldn't hide his shock.
Cui Xuan was also surprised on the side, "Your Majesty is just changing the era name, why is this?" β
Shen San didn't reply to a question, and hurried back to the mansion.
The Shenlong coup was initiated by Zhang Khan Zhi and other five ministers recommended by Di Renjie, forcing Wu Zetian, who was seriously ill and lacked control over the government, to ascend the throne.
Now that Wu Zetian changed the yuan five years ahead of schedule, will the coup d'Γ©tat happen as in history?
Back in the Daoist Mansion, Shen San asked to call Zhang Yangman'er, and the four of them began to discuss how to solve the matter.
Shen San asked, "A military disaster may arise, so it is better to transfer troops to Beijing to avoid accidents." β
Zhang Yang replied, "But now there is no other handle, if the transfer of troops is framed as a rebellion, it will be difficult to get away with it." β
The princess immediately decided, "Immediately transfer troops into Beijing, so as not to cause the mother queen to be ill, this palace is in the East Palace, and there is nothing wrong with transferring troops to the king." β
Zhang Yang then transferred 500 of his henchmen to Beijing in batches and hid them in the mansion.
At the same time, Shen San asked the secret whistle that was released to ask if there was any change.
After the discussion, several people entered the palace to face the saint.
Wu Zetian's face was slightly tired and sickly, and he didn't say a word about other things, just asked Shen San about the progress of the reform.
Shen San asked in a panic, "Your Majesty, this year is an eventful year, please pay more attention to the things around you to prevent changes." β
Wu Zetian couldn't deny this, she had already learned about the transfer of several troops, and she was quite interesting about their move into the palace.
The princess proposed that she would not leave the palace this time, and would accompany the king.
Wu Zetian agreed.
After Shen Sanwen left the palace, he began to collect information about Zhang Cambodia and others.
King Luling had no intention of competing for the position of prince, at least he had no intention of forcing Wu Zetian to abdicate by force, so he was placed under house arrest by five people.
At this time, the news came from the palace that Wu Zetian was seriously ill, and Li Xian, the king of Luling, and Wu Dan, the king of Yin, were summoned to the palace.
Princess Taiping has served in the morning to the side.
Li Xian wanted to enter the palace, but Zhang Cambodia and others persuaded him to wait until the evening, but he had actually prepared seven hundred dead soldiers to force the palace tonight.
When night fell, the palace guards changed, and 700 people from Zhang Khanzhi's mansion flocked out, and the scouts sent by Zhang Yang who had been waiting on the side for two days returned to the house to deliver the message.
