In the early morning of the ninth day of December, as the sun was rising, a group of strange warriors in black training uniforms appeared in Chang'an City, holding a strange-shaped weapon that looked neither like a stick nor a sword. They wore black steel helmets and were hung on their bodies.

With several bulging pockets and black leather combat boots, each of them looked majestic.

They walked all the way from Mingdemen to the palace, followed by many magical cars that could move forward without being pulled by oxen or pushed by people. Each car also had a cover the size of a millstone, and a thick cylinder with a straight

It rushed straight ahead, making a "rumbling" sound like thunder.

There were about four thousand people in the group. After arriving at the palace, the leader stepped forward to conduct a handover ceremony with the palace guards. From this moment on, the task of guarding the palace was handed over to the hands of this new Xuanjia army.

A moment after the handover was completed, dozens of similarly dressed warriors occupied the commanding heights of the palace. One man lay on the ground, raised a weapon that was longer than the other warriors, and never moved again.

Another person next to him immediately took out a novelty consisting of two cylinders and put it in front of his eyes and started to be alert.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner under the curious eyes of the onlookers. They quickly spread out and set up a cordon on the road from Taichang Temple to Chengtianmen. When everything was ready, they stood up straight and stopped moving.

Some brave people couldn't help but stepped forward out of curiosity and asked: "This military lord, which army are you from? When did our Tang army have such a majestic army like yours?"

The soldier showed him the armband on his left arm and said: "We are the Xuanjia Army. Today is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne. You can just wait and watch the ceremony on the side, and you are not allowed to cross the yellow line.

It will be life-threatening!"

When the man heard that he was one of Li Shimin's soldiers, he was frightened and took a few steps back. He was several meters away from the cordon set up by the Xuanjia Army before he felt relieved.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, several strange big birds that looked like they were made of steel suddenly appeared in the sky. They had no wings, but could fly in the sky. There was a rapidly rotating thing above their heads that kept making deafening noises.

Ten big birds were scattered around the imperial city, hovering a hundred meters above Chang'an and then stopped moving. The common people could still vaguely see someone sitting on it holding the same weapon and scanning below.

The people of Chang'an were not calm immediately. They were just surprised to see the Xuanjia Army at first, but now there are people who can fly freely into the sky! This is the first time in the world! It spread from ten to ten, and soon the people of Chang'an

They all ran outside Huangcheng to watch the big bird that can take people to the sky! At 9:40 in the morning, the auspicious time deduced by Si Tianjian after 7749 days was coming soon, and he was wearing a brand-new prince python robe.

Li Shimin finally left the Prince of Qin's Mansion. He was guarded by a group of Xuanjia troops also dressed in black and wearing black boots. Two helicopters above slowly followed him, one on the left and one on the right. The attendants in front put up a guard of honor for the prince and set off slowly towards Taichang Temple.

Along the way, the people all bent down and shouted: "Long live". Li Shimin stood in the convertible car specially made for him by Wenyi, smiled and waved to the people in return.

It can be seen how unpopular Li Jiancheng was. He was completely forgotten by the people of Chang'an in just six months... At ten o'clock in the morning, a duck voice came from Taichang Temple: "The auspicious time has come, please worship the new emperor!"

Li Shimin solemnly walked to the Temple of Heaven and meticulously completed all the procedures for offering sacrifices to heaven.

At this time, the eunuch standing in front of a short and thick stick shouted again: "Pardon, #@￥#" which means that I am old and no longer have the energy to continue to deal with government affairs, and now I want to abdicate in favor of the crown prince Li Shimin.

Then there was a gorgeous praising article that I won’t go into details here~ Li Shimin took the jade seal from the eunuch (not the one belonging to Qin Shihuang, the one was still in the hands of Empress Dowager Xiao) and showed it to everyone, which was half of the enthronement ceremony.

.

The next step is to put on the dragon robe and gold crown ornaments and go to the Tai Chi Hall to confer civil and military officials.

First, there was an edict that made Li Yuan the Supreme Emperor and resided in Da'an Palace, and another edict made Wenyi the temporary first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Wei Zheng as the prime minister in charge of three provinces and six ministries (it should be mentioned here that Wei Zheng was originally appointed by Li Jiancheng)

After being left out in the cold, old friends from Tiance Mansion came to see him for a drink every day. Wei Zheng's resistance to Li Shimin gradually faded away. When Li Jiancheng was still the prince, he refused to join Li Shimin for the sake of face. Now,

The overall situation has been decided, and during this period, Li Shimin often went to his house to drink tea with him and talk heart-to-heart, and finally agreed to serve as an official in the court again).

From now on, all memorials will be sent to the four prime ministers first. After the four prime ministers deal with them, the important ones will be selected and handed over to Wen Yi for review. Wen Yi will then select appropriate memorials and submit them to Li Shimin for review.

The first imperial edict was something that was expected by all the officials, but the second imperial edict was a little more aggressive. From today on, Literary Art has jumped from a niece-in-law of the Prince of Qin to one person under ten thousand people in the Tang Dynasty.

A powerful figure! But except for a few officials from poor families who were aggrieved, those officials from aristocratic families seemed to have expected it and did not say a word of objection at all.

It can be seen that the literature and art industry has been busy soliciting sponsorship this month, and it is still very effective to send business! The third decree is a bit strange. It was granted to the former crown prince Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Princess Pingyang. Li Jiancheng was appointed as the third elder of the Royal Presbyterian Council and is responsible for

The security of the imperial city and the supervision of all royal members; Li Yuanji was appointed as the fourth elder of the Imperial Presbyterian Council, responsible for supervising all the studies of the royal children; Princess Pingyang was appointed as the honorary elder of the Imperial Presbyterian Council and the commander of Guannai Road, commanding all the troops of Guannei Road, and responsible for guarding Chang'an

.

This is an astonishing statement. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are already dead in the hearts of hundreds of officials. Their whereabouts are unknown since the Xuanwumen Incident. Even if they are not dead, they will never appear in everyone's sight again. Who would have thought that Li Shimin would give them

The position was sealed. Although I don’t know what the Royal Presbyterian Council is, it certainly sounds extraordinary! The fourth imperial edict is the first step of the New Deal: reform the military system! Divide the entire army into ten military regions according to ten lines.

, each military region is responsible for the security of the area, and the head of each military region is called "commander". From now on, the title of general will no longer be used as a job title, but as a symbol of rank.

The smallest unit of the army is no longer called "Shi", but instead "squad"; five squads are called "platoons"; five platoons are called "companies"; five companies are called "battalions"; five battalions are called "regiments"; five

A regiment is a "brigade"; above a brigade is a "division", and the specific number of brigades as divisions depends on the situation of each channel; above a division is the "army", that is, the major military regions, and the number of divisions in each military region is also based on the situation of each channel.

Depends.

In addition to the army, there are an air force and a navy, which are under the jurisdiction of the General Staff.

The commander of the General Staff is Li Shimin.

There is also a "committee" from the commander to the company level, who is mainly responsible for the ideological work of the soldiers in the army and has no power to interfere with the orders of the military chief.

At the same time, it was made clear that in the next five years, the compulsory military system and the volunteer military system will gradually replace the government military system.

The military generals had been called to many military reform meetings by Li Shimin before, so they just waited patiently for Li Shimin to re-appoint them, and did not feel unhappy at all.

Kong Yingda and other old masters were even happier. In the future, Confucian scholars could not only serve as civil servants in the court, but also serve as committee members in the army. It can be said that they are good at politics and military affairs! Everyone praised in their hearts: Li Shimin is such a good emperor! He is so important to let literature and art be so stupid.

The resentment of the boy being the first prime minister has long since disappeared.

In their opinion, the person who came up with the idea of ​​letting Confucian scholars join the army must be this boy with unrestrained ideas. Since he is one of their own, why should they object?

As long as you have a good relationship with him, are you afraid that there won't be any greater benefits?

After these major events were decided, it didn't matter what the next hundred official awards were. Just listen to what benefits you got. As for other people, haha... It was almost dark after reading the various awards, and Li Shimin gave an order.

Let’s hold a banquet! The officials who had been hungry all day finally breathed a sigh of relief. If we don’t start the meal, some old guys will definitely faint from hunger! To be honest, it’s very unpleasant to eat with the leaders. Although the boss of literature and art is still Li Shimin, this palace banquet is

One of the most unpleasant times for literature and art. Not long after everyone toasted, many old guys gathered around me. First, they flattered me, and then they said, "I did it, you can do whatever you want!"

But for an old guy who looks like he could be his grandfather, how can he really be casual about literature and art and drink up every cup?

Fortunately, Li Shimin did not serve the stuffed donkey at this banquet, but only grape wine, otherwise the literature and art would have been carried out! Even this literature and art was so drunk that I don’t know how he got back. Although he is now the first prime minister

Although Li Shimin still lived in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, he moved into the palace and directly changed the signboard of "Prince Qin's Mansion" to "Wen Mansion".

Literary Art is so happy. He is used to living in the Prince of Qin's Mansion. If he is asked to move to another place, he will probably have to sleep for a few days to adapt to his new home. Now the Prince of Qin's Mansion has directly become his residence. Where can he find such good things?

I can only say that I followed the right boss! Although Li Shimin did not grant him a title, he did become the prime minister! You must know that the only prime minister younger than himself in history is Gan Luo, and Gan Luo is still an honorary prime minister with no real power, which is not like him

With this kind of power, he can freely spread his ink on the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty! The next day is still the meeting of the imperial court. This time, the main purpose is to let foreign envoys come to meet the new emperor and let them know that the Tang Dynasty has a new master.

Come on, you all should be careful! There are countless countries around the Tang Dynasty, and there are more than fifty people in the literary and artistic circles. Except for Turks, no one came. Envoys from Goguryeo, Gaochang, Japan and other countries were all present.

Listening to the same praises and virtues repeated over and over again makes literature and art drowsy, and you secretly curse the bastard officials in the Ministry of Rites. Can't you write flattery seriously?

The people's flattery in Japan is exactly the same as that in Gaochang! It's so lazy and easy! After Li Shimin heard the flattery of his envoys, he was ready to issue an order to entertain the envoys from all sides.
Chapter completed!
