Chapter 394: The All-New Tang Dynasty
The Divine Army has been arranged. Lei Changye's biggest problem now is how to build a new platform for the imperial court in the Daming Palace with the existing team.
Because of the successive years of eunuch interference and the division of feudal towns, Chang'an's imperial court has degenerated into a veritable "small imperial court". Although the authority is still very large, the jurisdiction is small enough to be able to speak, that is, the two parts of the former Gyeonggi Province and Togi Province. Half of Dugi Province was still abandoned by the rebellious army, which means that there is none.
The border towns in the northwest are still subordinate to Chang'an, because Chang'an needs to supply military salaries, otherwise it will be difficult for the army to survive, but Chang'an can't even govern there, so it can only rely on local festivals to make it cheaper.
In this special historical stage, and because the immortality of the Tang Dynasty has taken away the pressure of competing for the power of the world, as long as the new imperial court does not touch the fundamental interests of all parties, this emperor is really the same thing.
At this moment, Emperor Kaicheng only has half a life left, and he is almost gone. Lei Changye can actually find out the uncle and nephew of Emperor Huichang and Emperor Dazhong in the Sixteen Mansions, and guess who is lucky and who will be the emperor.
But now among the big players under his command, there are more capable and more capable than Emperor Huichang and Emperor Dazhong, and some are. Liu Xiu, Wang Mang, Kuang Zhang, and even Pharmacist are all potential candidates. However, thinking of Wang Mang's previous political achievements, Lei Changye decided that it would be better for him to be the head of the Wumeng Craftsman Manufacturing Division.
The pharmacist has been busy recently, and Kuang Zhang is a potential talent who he wants to help Bai Yinyi to the position of director of the Chang'an branch in the future, Lei Changye decided to find an opportunity to talk to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu can be said to be perfect in governing the world. When he successfully renewed the life of the crumbling Western Han Empire in the blue sea star, most of the famous ministers and generals who served him during this period died well, and for those who helped him at the beginning, they also knew that they were grateful and left room for them. Many people who resisted him later were not killed by him, and they were considered to be the emperor's top students.
Of course, these are all said in the history books, and as for the authenticity, Lei Changye will give sixty percent, which can be regarded as giving Liu Xiu a face.
He felt that if he could help Liu Xiu to the throne of the emperor, he could breathe a sigh of relief, directly leave the stall in Chang'an to Liu Xiu, and prepare for the big events after next spring wholeheartedly.
Change your identity, Sun Ce can do it, why can't Liu Xiu do it? He didn't squeeze Liu Xiu's jade talisman so cleanly.
At dusk that day, when the Daming Palace was almost cleaned, Lei Changye found Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua and took them to his owner's room for a secret conversation.
Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua had just let Emperor Kaicheng fall asleep, and when they saw Lei Changye looking for them so seriously, their hearts jumped, and they hurriedly followed him back to the boat.
After Lei Changye closed the door of the ship's owner's room, he immediately said to Liu Xiu: "Brother Liu, Mrs. Liu, I'm afraid Emperor Kaicheng won't be able to survive for a few days, how do you think the emperor's position should be continued?"
Lei Changye's words immediately made Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua hold their breath.
They have rich experience in palace struggles, and as soon as Lei Changye opened his mouth, they knew that the opportunity to win the championship was in front of them.
"Alliance leader, the survival of the emperor's throne has its own ancestral family law, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to say more. Liu Xiu waved his hand dryly.
Lei Changye smiled and nodded, Liu Xiu was acting according to the example of the three refusals of the Zen concession. He had to ask him three times in a row to be emperor before he would agree. However, according to his understanding of big players, now is the golden time for Liu Xiu to seize the time to brush up on the jade talisman for himself, change his memory, and change his identity.
"Brother Liu, I have always felt that Mrs. Ling has the temperament of a mother, but Brother Liu's surname is really Liu? Lei Changye leaned over and asked in a low voice. He's already put his words to this point, now it's time to farm the jade talisman, come on. He waited patiently.
"You must be mistaken. Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua said in unison.
"Bang!" Lei Changye was stunned. Liu Xiu brushed millions of jade talismans back then, and the heavenly justice killed corpses all over the south of the Yangtze River, just to change the dynasty, could it be that he remembered it wrong?
"Alliance leader, now Jiangnan is as stable as Mount Tai, Chang'an is in the bag, the world is stable at hand, Lihua and I only look at the people of the world, live and work in peace and contentment, singing and dancing, glory and wealth, the emperor will be the two of us, but the clouds and smoke are passing by. Liu Xiu said with a smile.
"Huh?" Lei Changye was stunned. This thing seemed to be said by Yongqiang! This thing bullied him when he was not at the scene, so he opened his mouth and borrowed it. Could it be that Yongqiang's posture in front of Emperor Kaicheng actually dispelled Liu Xiu's ambition to win the world?
"Alliance leader, my husband and I are from the Wu League, and the Wu League is where we belong, and the court and Fang Zhen have nothing to do with us. The Flying Fish Lady Ship and Lei Gong Town are our homes. Yin Lihua said sincerely.
"......" Lei Changye was speechless. Yin Lihua is the same as Yu Xuanji, attracted by the charm of flush toilets and faucets, right? In the palace, there is no such comfortable living environment. No wonder she didn't want to go.
"Alliance leader, although Lihua has a vision, but she has been indifferent to fame and fortune since she was a child, and she will not pursue those mansions in the sky, and her life in the Wumeng is very good, but she is ......" Liu Xiu said this, and hesitated slightly.
"It's finally here. Lei Changye's heart fell to the ground, and he knew that Liu Xiu would not give up being the emperor so easily.
"Alliance leader, Qiu Shiliang has been killed, Chang'an City has been decided, when will the update of your Lei Gong Opera begin?" asked Liu Xiu.
"Bang!" Lei Changye pressed his head. Although he developed Lei Gong Opera at the beginning, it was to let the big players who participated in the world hegemony discover that there is a better choice in the world than to compete for the world. However, he didn't expect the effect to be so good, Liu Xiu has only been playing for a long time, and he has been addicted to it to such an extent.
Liu Xiu obviously felt that no one would dare to win him if he became the emperor and played Lei Gong again, which was not interesting at all. At the beginning, Zixin took away the championship of the Lei Gong Opera King Championship from him, which probably deeply stimulated him.
"Alliance leader, are you not going to update Lei Gong's play?" Liu Xiu looked at Lei Changye's tangled appearance, and hurriedly asked worriedly.
"Could it be that your Lei Gong drama is really just a foreshadowing for killing Qiu Shiliang? No, won't you?" Yin Lihua was anxious.
"The update of Lei Gong's drama has been done. Lei Changye said lightly. According to this situation, if Lei Gong doesn't do it, the Wumeng will collapse.
"So good!" Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua both breathed a sigh of relief.
"But this period of time is related to the survival of the royal family, and it is the most critical time for Datang, and it still needs the full support of the virtuous couple. Lei Changye continued helplessly.
"Of course, of course, it must work. Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua nodded solemnly. After all, they still need Lei Changye to continue to engage in his Lei Gong drama and Qiong Jelly Jade Liquor.
After sending Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua away, Lei Changye touched his bald head and sighed. Liu Xiu is not the emperor, he can only go to Wang Mang to ask. However, Wang Mang is really not suitable to be the emperor, and he is more reliable as a branch secretary.
If he really can't do it, he will go to Emperor Huichang and Emperor Dazhong. However, these two emperors are too fond of drugs, and they can finish playing at any time, and they are not easy to control, and there are too many uncontrollable factors.
He remembered that there was a prince Li Xiangchun in the Tibetan Jiaolou, this person was heroic and had the style of an emperor, but it was a pity that he was too eager to be the emperor, and he would inevitably gain power after coming to power.
After thinking about it, the most perfect Tang Dynasty emperor in Lei Changye's heart turned out to be Emperor Kaicheng. This emperor endured grievances, endured loneliness, and had the experience of being controlled by powerful ministers, learned to be obedient and sensible, and the ministers of the Southern Ya were also familiar with his style of acting. No one would be surprised if he did what he said.
Isn't this a natural tool emperor?
Now the eunuch group has been wiped out by Lei Changye's tricks. If Emperor Kaicheng can survive the ghost gate and continue to survive, Lei Changye can let him open up a precedent in the history of the world, completely abolish the eunuch system, and develop a new palace management system - the housekeeper system.
The steward system originated in France and was later introduced to England, and the traditional and conservative English court style was more old-fashioned, paying attention to etiquette and details, and paying more attention to the maintenance of the dignity of the royal family than France. In the process of practice, the professional concept and scope of responsibilities of the butler have been newly standardized and strengthened by the court etiquette system, and have become a model in the industry.
In the modern court of the Blue Sea Star plane, the group of senior stewards and stewards has become the backbone of the service in the court. The norms of the English butler system also became the industry norm for court governance.
However, the reason why this system was able to flourish in Europe and modern times was that the imperial power in Europe was not centralized enough and was not as unified as the Chinese imperial courts.
In the centralized court, the struggle for power and sensitivity have reached a white-hot level, and no matter what kind of moral norms the male *** person has, he will not be trusted by those in power. Only domestic slaves who are infertile can give those in power a sense of security.
However, at this special point in the late Tang Dynasty, the centralization of power was weakened to the greatest extent, the power of various local towns grew rapidly, and the imperial court was so weak that eunuchs could easily seize power and do evil. After Qiu Shiliang's several killings, both the royal family and the officials of the Southern Government were weak and incompetent, unable to resist the control of the Northern Division.
If Emperor Kaicheng can be controlled to continue to sit on the throne, stabilize the palace pattern that has been continuously reduced by Qiu Shiliang, form a system with the characteristics of the late Tang Dynasty in which the imperial court and the feudal towns are mutually restricted, and maintain the differentiation of imperial power. This was actually an excellent time to abolish the eunuch system.
Taking advantage of the actions of Qiu Shiliang and other eunuchs to arouse monstrous public anger in the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs were slaughtered again, and the eunuch system was directly abolished. Replaced by the housekeeper system, through the characteristics of the housekeeper system, the scale of the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards was limited, and the specifications of the Daming Palace were downgraded to the pattern of a small court.
Relying on the new concept of the housekeeper system, Lei Changye felt that it was time to try to establish a new Tang in his mind - Cyber Datang.
