Chapter 148: The Tang Palace is shocked
The next day, the hundred officials of Chang'an City congratulated him, and Li Yuan was officially proclaimed emperor, and the founding name was Tang.
According to the rules, Li Yuan finished the process, the ministers bowed three times and knocked nine times, and Li Yuan began to seal the ministers.
There are no unexpected rewards, basically everything is expected by the ministers. Rewards are based on merit and seniority, and there is no falsification in this regard.
However, it is not without its surprises. When Li Yuan rebelled in the early days, Liu Wenjing worked hard and was the oldest group of people. However, Liu Wenjing is arrogant and often contradicts Li Yuan.
This time, Liu Wenjing can become the prime minister according to merit and seniority. However, Li Yuan considered it again and again, and only named Liu Wenjing as the head of the household.
Liu Wenjing's face instantly became ugly after hearing her official position. However, even if he has a crazy personality, he does not dare to openly contradict Li Yuan at this time. Now Li Yuan is sealing the vassals, and at this time he spoke out against the reward, and it was the Manchu civil and military who offended. Liu Wenjing is crazy, but he is not stupid.
Li Yuan also has his own ideas. As a king, Li Yuan is not intolerant, otherwise he would not tolerate Liu Wenjing until now. You must know that Liu Wenjing has made him unable to get off the stage many times.
The main reason for lowering the reward for Liu Wenjing is that Liu Wenjing is Li Shimin's party.
Li Yuan does not treat his children equally, the third daughter Li Xiuning and the youngest son Li Yuanji are the most favored by Li Yuan.
But Li Yuan knew that among his children, the most outstanding were the eldest son Li Jiancheng and the second son Li Shimin. Sometimes Li Yuan was also thinking about what kind of incense his ancestors burned, the eldest son was selected by Confucianism as the lord of the world, and the second son was selected by the two families of Buddhism and Taoism as the true son of heaven.
Really speaking of which. Li Tang has been able to get to this point, and the biggest credit is still due to his two sons. The combined efforts of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have made Li Tang one of the biggest forces in the world.
But now, Li Tang has established the country, so the distinction between priority and priority will be separated. When the judgment is constantly suffering, it is chaotic. But the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.
Learn from the new dynasty and separate the military from the government. The army was handed over to his second son, Li Shimin, and he was asked to lead the army to expand the territory. The government affairs were handed over to the eldest son Li Jiancheng, which was just right to cooperate sincerely with Confucianism to bring peace to the country and the people under Li Tang's rule.
In this case. Liu Wenjing, a civil official who belongs to Li Shimin's side, is particularly eye-catching. Therefore, Li Yuan wanted to lower his status so that he would not pose a threat to Li Jiancheng.
Li Yuan's idea is very naΓ―ve, and it can only be said that he is drinking to quench his thirst. But for the two sons who both have Li Tang behind them and need to rely on forces, Li Yuan has no other way that is too good. You can only take one step at a time.
"Li Yuanji was crowned King of Qi. β
"Li Xiuning was crowned Princess Pingyang. β
Here's the highlight. The ministers knew that the next two most important rewards were to be rewarded. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. It is no exaggeration to say that it has a great impact on the pattern of the world.
Not only Li Tang's courtiers are paying attention to this, but Wang Yu is also paying attention to Li Tang's movements at all times. Of course, Li Yuan can't hide this kind of thing from Wang Yu if he wants to be the emperor, the net has been fully launched, and the latest news must be passed on to Wang Yu in time.
"Li Shimin was crowned the king of Qin, concurrently led the captain, ranked among the three dukes, and was in charge of all affairs. Li Yuan's personal head Wei Lianxiang announced sharply.
"The retainer's order. Father Xie. Li Shimin knelt down to accept the order, and his heart was settled. He didn't take the title of King of Qin to heart, as the son of Li Yuan. A prince can't run away. What Li Shimin really values is the position of Tai Lieutenant, to be precise, the authority to be in charge of all affairs.
Today, if someone asks what is most important, Li Shimin will answer without hesitation: the army.
If you master the army, you will have the initiative. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. really let Li Shimin sit in Chang'an. Unless it is Li Yuan's position, Li Shimin will not change the position of the crown prince of the East Palace. Because the ancestral system has training. The crown prince is not allowed to lead the army.
"Li Jiancheng was crowned the crown prince and was also a scholar. Ranked among the prime ministers. β
Li Yuan is the king, the crown prince is the prince, and they are all monarchs for their subordinates, and their status is even higher than Li Shimin.
This is the advantage brought by the eldest son, but neither Li Jiancheng nor Li Shimin thinks this is an advantage, that is, Li Yuanji is short-sighted, and there is jealousy hidden in the envy in his eyes when he looks at Li Jiancheng.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Li Jiancheng's mouth, and he silently counted three times in his heart, and just counted to the third time, he heard someone come out to object: "Wait, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the eldest prince is not suitable to be the prince." β
As soon as this remark came out, the whole house was shocked.
Li Yuan and the ministers all looked at the person who spoke, but they were even more shocked when they saw his true face. Because the person who spoke out against it was Li Jiancheng's confidant - Wei Zheng.
Li Yuan's brows furrowed, he glanced at Li Jiancheng in confusion, and asked, "Wei Qing, why did you say this?"
Wei Zheng is thin, like a hemp stalk, but no one dares to underestimate this person. Because everyone knows that Wei Zheng is Li Jiancheng's first confidant.
Wei Zheng knelt on his knees, buckled his head three times at Li Yuan, and then said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the great prince has the grace of knowing the minister, and the minister will never forget it." But as a courtier, he was extremely disloyal to his majesty. The great prince made a mistake, and the minister did not say anything to stop it, causing a great disaster, and the minister was uneasy. This time, the minister was outspoken, and afterwards he went to the great prince to receive the punishment, how the great prince punished the minister, the minister was willing. β
Li Jiancheng's face showed a tangled look, but it did not stop Wei Zheng.
"Wei Zheng, what exactly do you want to say, what's wrong with Da Shizi?" Li Yuan asked again.
"Your Majesty, the great prince is in love with the demon girl of the Demon Gate. Bai Qing'er, the current wife of the prince, is the apprentice of Zhu Yuyan, the former sect leader of the Yin Sect. Mrs. Shizi has such a background, how can the eldest prince be the prince?" Wei Zheng said bitterly.
"What ......"
Above the court, everyone was shocked when they heard Wei Zheng's words, including Li Shimin and Li Yuan.
For a long time, the news that Zhu Yuyan accepted Bai Qing'er as an apprentice has not been circulated, so Li Shimin and Li Yuan have no idea about this matter. Now that Wei Zheng said this at first glance, the two of them were really blinded by this sudden news.
After reacting, Li Shimin secretly said that it was not good, and turned his head to see Li Jiancheng's slightly exaggerated performance.
"Built, is what Wei Zheng said true?" Li Yuan said incredulously.
Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed with a look of struggle, but he still nodded and said, "Father, Qing'er and I really love each other. She has broken away from the Shadow Sect and is devoted to being my wife. β
"Nonsense. Li Yuan saw that Li Jiancheng did not deny it, and immediately became furious.
When Li Yuan was young, he had dealings with Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan. That "beautiful" history, Li Yuan never wanted to recall. For the Demon Gate, Li Yuan did not have a good impression.
"Either choose a prince or divorce your wife. You look at it. Li Yuan gave Li Jiancheng an ultimatum.
But Li Jiancheng's expression was beyond Li Yuan's expectations: "Father, the emperor, the son would rather give up the position of the crown prince." (To be continued)
