On the tenth day of March, just after the night of the coup, it suddenly rained heavily, which lasted only one day and stopped at night.
It is abnormal that such weather will appear in spring in the pass, and there will be a fog at night, so the world is covered with a faint mist, hazy and confused.
The emperor issued an edict saying that Brother Fen, a person who had long been marginalized, was actually recalled to Chang'an to ascend the throne and become emperor.This incident became the most important thing when forming a new pattern.
Several people are happy and sad, and more people are disappointed and pessimistic, endless turmoil and coup, impetuous ups and downs, the interests of many upper-class people are not guaranteed and may be implicated at any time...
I thought about peace for a long time. Originally, Li Longji was a hope, but now he has lost, the fire of hope has been extinguished, and he has returned to the atmosphere since Empress Wu took office.
But from another perspective, when the situation is calm, if relatively fair talent selection rules can be established, this dynasty may have the opportunity to increase its political influence again for those forces outside the Guanlong family, especially those of the Shandong clans.
At this time, Lu Xiang first wrote a letter to talk about seven things, and several of them were very popular: with a forgiveness attitude, prevent the incident of Li Longji from forcing the palace to expand, so that everyone is in danger; appointing people as virtuous, stop the award of the slanted official, and screen the current official through the palace examination and other methods. Those who lack morality and talent should stop...
……
The Flying Tiger Regiment was stationed in Xingqingfang to fetch food on the spot. On the 11th, Xue Chongxun took off his armor, put on his purple robe, and went to the palace to attend the court meeting.
As the sky was dawn, Princess Taiping summoned important officials in the Zichen Hall to discuss important matters. Most of the participants were senior officials above the third rank, but Xue Chongxun was an exception. His current status can be said to have risen to a higher level.
Now everyone is mainly trying to maintain public order and stability and consolidate the fruits of victory. As for the new distribution of power, there is no hurry, and we have to wait for King Fen to ascend the throne.
Zhang Shuo, the Minister of War who had just defected to him recently, did not contribute any effort during the coup. At this time, he was extra active and immediately proposed to disperse the ten thousand cavalry.
Generals can be arranged to serve in the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Yamen, and the soldiers will be disbanded, and all the yamen of the Northern Army will be taken over by the left and right Yulin Army.After the situation is settled, the two armies can be formed to share the power of the imperial guards.Zhang Shuo asked for it.
Everyone knows that Wan Qi had a deep relationship with Li Longji in the past, but now the loyalists in it are already killed. As long as some other generals are replaced, there is no danger.
But Zhang Shuo proposed a more radical and safer method...
Disband directly.
After hearing this, Taiping was very satisfied with Zhang, but Xiao Zhizhong and others said that it was not necessary.
At this moment, Li Shouyi, the prefect of Jingzhao, stood up and said: I think the most important thing to be disbanded is the Flying Tiger Group!
Everyone present was shocked and couldn't help but look at Li Shouyi with admiration.
Xue Chongxun’s Flying Tiger Regiment was a great contribution in the Jingyun coup. The matter had just finished, so I had to kill the donkey so directly?
Everyone muttered in their hearts that even if they were afraid that they would become a hidden danger, they could not say it in person!
At least the curved winding and curved methods should be used, Li Shouyi is really...
Xue Chongxun felt a little upset when he heard this and said to himself: Damn, this Li Shouyi is sorry for Mr. Mao and me!
Once Li Longji was defeated, all the power fell into the hands of Princess Taiping. Xue Chongxun is a celebrity now. Isn’t Li Shouyi really afraid of offending others?
Everyone thinks that since Li Shouyi has no backstage, he will be the end of the day when he becomes an official like this.
Li Shouyi said seriously: No matter who a country is, he should reduce internal friction and maintain fairness.Those who have made contributions to the country should be rewarded, but are your nobles not afraid that it will become the cause of chaos, but the brave private soldiers of the Flying Tiger Regiment will be stationed in the capital?Duke Wei was named king and the Flying Tiger Regiment was rewarded by the soldiers who were rewarded by meritorious soldiers. Li was the first to agree, but the Flying Tiger Regiment must not be united and must be disbanded!
Everyone looked at Xue Chongxun quietly, and Princess Taiping, who was sitting in the upper position, also turned her eyes to her.
Xue Chongxun felt so uncomfortable now. The Flying Tigers' ability to fight is a good card in his hand and a kind of capital, and no one can bear to bear it...
But now someone has made it clear: You are a hidden danger.
What else can I do?
Xue Chongxun had to bite the bullet and stand up and say: Mother, I think what Li Fuyin said makes sense. As my identity, I don’t have the right to hold so many private soldiers in the capital.
Unless it is the prince, who can raise so many armored soldiers at the world and want to rebel?
Taiping pondered endlessly, lowered his head, and did not express his opinion for a long time; everyone standing below did not say much, all seemed to be unrelated to their own affairs.
Before coming to Zichen Palace, Xue Chongxun did not expect that someone would catch the Flying Tiger Group so soon, and he was not mentally prepared.
But when Li Shouyi said this, Xue Chongxun did not hold a grudge against him, and believed that he was indeed out of public interest.
Xue Chongxun frowned and pondered, and at this time a thought came out: You should know how to advance and retreat.Standing at the forefront and being missed by a group of people may not be a good thing.
My mother didn't say anything, what was she thinking?
Xue Chongxun suddenly remembered her helplessness and fear before the coup. She was also weak and helpless, but now the crisis has passed, and the barriers in her heart have been filled again...
Even if she is a mother, she is the closest relative.
When Xue Chongxun thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
At this time, he looked stern and said sincerely: Please order the disbandment of the Flying Tiger Regiment, but the soldiers who died in battle should be given pensions, and those who have made meritorious should be given rewards to show justice... At the same time, the son minister recommended that the Prime Minister Li add to the vacancies of prime minister.
Taiping was a little surprised after hearing this, looked up at Xue Chongxun and said with great interest: He couldn't get along with you just now. Are you doing this for reputation or being angry?
Xue Chongxun said: None of them, my son believes that using Li Gongyin is beneficial to the country.In today's kingly times, it is ultimately about rule by man. The fundamental reason for rule by man is the administration of officials. Those who are virtuous, talented and public-minded can govern the world. Unlike the rule of law, our country needs wise men, otherwise no matter how good the system or laws are, they will be useless.Using people like Li Fuyin to participate in national affairs is in line with the proposal of appointing people based on merits proposed by Lu Ge Lao (Lu Xiangxian), so please consider it.
Li Shou's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this, and he couldn't help but look at Xue Chongxun up and down with a different look, as if he had known him for the first time today.
The word rule of man is relatively new to everyone, but the rule of authority is very familiar to everyone, and they also agree with Xue Chongxun's point of view.
Looking at the past and present, in general, the temple cannot be full of selfish villains who only seek profit.
Taiping smiled slightly: I agree to use Li Shouyi as prime minister, but the Flying Tiger Regiment will not be disbanded. It will be changed to my name as my Imperial Guard. You can also lead the guard general.
Mother... Xue Chongxun suddenly couldn't understand.
Taiping looked at Xue Chongxun and said in a very low voice: If you don’t even believe me, who else can I believe?
Your Highness thinks twice!
Li Shouyi did not accept Xue Chongxun's recommendation at all. He brushed his robe sleeve and said decisively, "I don't want to be the prime minister!"The Flying Tiger Regiment cannot be used as an imperial guard!After hearing what Li said, there were not many people here, and there was no need to hide it. The power of the emperor was undermined. Now all the power is in the hands of His Highness. King Fen ascended the throne is nothing more than a puppet.What is the difference between Your Highness’s imperial guards and the imperial guards?How could Duke Wei be the general of the Imperial Guard? How could he be the right to have a military power for the imperial guards?There was something happened to Li Sanlang before, because he could threaten the throne of the imperial guards and 10,000 cavalry. The past is not far away from the army of future generations!Now everyone is at ease. Isn’t it your highness’s opportunity? How can it lay hidden dangers and affect the overall situation?
Xue Chongxun was half sincere and half forced, and said with a fist: Mother, I agree with the opinion of Li Fuyin.
Taiping sneered: Humph, how many people want me to die well now, don’t think I don’t know!My intention has been decided, Dalang is my general of the Imperial Guard, so don’t say much.After two days, I transferred the flying tiger group into Xuanwu Gate, and when I left the palace, I stood there.
After hearing this, Li Shou sighed and stopped talking.
Xue Chongxun hurriedly knelt down on the ground and bowed: My son vowed to defend his mother to the death.
Taiping waved his sleeves and said: Let's go, wait until King Fen enters the capital and discusses major issues. You must do your duty well. Those who have the opportunity to commit crimes and confuse the public in the capital will be severely punished!
When everyone stepped back and walked out of Zichen Hall, several people became more intimate towards Xue Chongxun.
Among the several prime ministers, except for the young Cui Shi, Dou Huaizhen was the most backboneless and almost flattered when speaking: Duke Wei’s discussion on “rule of man” is admirable, and he took a break another day. What should we do if we talk about it?
Xue Chongxun glanced at Li Shouyi who was walking alone and smiled and said: OK, then Master Dou Ge is here to arrange the time?
Dou Huaizhen was very happy and laughed in a low voice: I can guarantee that the Duke of Defense will be more lively from now on.If someone who seeks an official cannot push it, you just need to say a word to me and Mr. Xiao and I will think of a solution.
Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: Don’t do this, you must rely on your merits, so that everyone can be stable. Master Dou Ge understands the truth.
Dou Huaizhen said: It is my only duty to recommend people with virtue and talent. Besides, what about a few people, it is not harmful to you.
To prevent problems from happening, we cannot lead the way.
Xue Chongxun said seriously, just like Yu Wen Xiao, the little official from the Ministry of Revenue, who helped me a few times before, the murderer Gao Lishi, who plotted against me last year, was found out.He asked me for an official position, but I felt that his talent could only be an official of that level, so I didn't agree to him. One code is one code, and you must be clear about public and private matters!
Dou Huaizhen suddenly said: Yes, what Duke Wei said is very... Yuwen Xiao, is it this name?
Xue Chongxun nodded and said: Don’t worry about him, I have passed the school secretly, and my talent is very limited.
It is abnormal that such weather will appear in spring in the pass, and there will be a fog at night, so the world is covered with a faint mist, hazy and confused.
