On the 16th day of the first lunar month, after celebrating the Lantern Festival, the seal was finally opened to go to court. The news about Handan King Li Huairen's return to Beijing had already spread. The entire city of Chang'an, from the officials in the court to the people, was talking about it.
.
Many people speculate that Li Shan's surrender of military power and return to Beijing was directly related to the rumors a year ago. Supporting soldiers and self-respect was what the emperor was most afraid of.
Some people also speculate that it was Li Shan's own choice. After all, high merit is hard to reward. Even if he is promoted to the heir king, there is actually no essential difference from the king of the county. In terms of position, it is difficult to squeeze out a suitable position for the King of Handan.
.
Li Yuan didn't pay attention to these rumors. In the Liangyi Palace early in the morning, he even mentioned with great interest that the Turks might think they had succeeded.
There are not many things to discuss today, the first thing is about music.
The position of music in the government cannot be said to be important, but it is an indispensable part. After Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, most of the systems were inherited from the former Sui Dynasty. The laws were all based on the "Kaihuang Code", and the same was true for music.
, used the nine-part music customized by the Sui Dynasty, but in the past two years, because he had unified the world and repeatedly defeated the Turks, Li Yuan decided to take over the new position at the end of last year.
In this regard, Prince Li Jiancheng has better connections than the King of Qin. He recommends Taichang Temple Shaoqing Zu Xiaosun. This person is from Youzhou and served as an official in the Sui Dynasty. He is familiar with the old music of Liang, Chen, Qi, Zhou and Sui dynasties, as well as the music of Wu and Chu.
Wu Rong's tactics.
After consideration, Li Yuan nodded in agreement and ordered Zu Xiaosun to revise "Yale of the Tang Dynasty"... If Li Shan was present, he would definitely be very interested in the surname "Zu", as it was the ancestor of Fan Yang who gave birth to Zu Chongzhi.
In fact, the Fan Yangzu clan is full of talents. In the past two years, Li Shan was not very clear about the allusions of some idioms. He once asked about the origin of "Zhongliu hits Ji", and Ling Jing told him that it came from the famous Zu Ti.
In addition to "Zhongliu hits Ji", the idioms introduced by Zu Ti also include "Dance upon hearing the chicken", "As soon as Nantang comes out", "Xianwu wields the whip", and later there was a child prodigy Zu Ying in the Northern Dynasty who introduced "Ying Tan Night"
"Read", "come out of ideas", Zu Junyan also wrote an appeal a few years ago, "too many bamboos to write down" is alluded to here.
It is simply a family of idioms.
The first thing passed easily, but the second thing... Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were at odds again. Although the former was weak now, he was eloquent and did not give in. The latter still had a hidden secret and got Chen Shuda and Feng Lun.
of support.
Li Yuan actually leaned toward Li Shimin, which was determined by his status as emperor. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because in the troubled times of the previous few hundred years, there were often precedents of generals rebelling and even killing their lords to establish the country, so Li Yuan insisted on using clan members to lead the army.
To a large extent, it was because of this that Li Shimin led the army at a young age and was undefeated on the battlefield. However, in addition to Li Shimin, quite a few clan members also made meritorious deeds, and these brothers with Li Yuan's great-grandfather, brothers with the same great-grandfather, and brothers' sons were all granted the title of
For the sake of the prince.
Therefore, Feng Lun mentioned in a meeting at the end of last year that he might be able to demote the unworthy prince.
This matter was strongly opposed by the East Palace, and there was nothing that could be done about it. Prince Li Jiancheng had always been lenient to the clan children, but the one who attached to the East Palace was Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi, and Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang County, was a waste who was attached to the King of Qin.
Although there is the useless King Li Shentong of Huai'an, there are also generals like King Li Daoxuan of Huaiyang.
Li Yuan knew in his heart that there were only dozens of county princes now, and there were more than a dozen princes in the harem. They would definitely be demoted in the future. No matter who took over the throne, this was for sure... This was also the result of his dissatisfaction with the prince.
The reason for leaning towards the King of Qin is that the prince reportedly promised in private that he would not be demoted in the line of succession.
If we don't demote the title, it only takes three or four generations to create hundreds of princes and princes. Moreover, these people will have more than one son. If the eldest son inherits the title, the other sons may also be reduced to the first level.
Sir, you will be in big trouble then.
However, at this critical moment, it was a bit unwise for the King of Qin to bring up this matter. Instead, it gave the East Palace an advantage... Li Yuan glanced at Feng Lun and wondered whether this was Feng Lun's own idea, or whether it was Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Ling
I would like to advise Erlang.
In fact, Li Shimin is very angry now. He did discuss it with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Ling Jing, and the final decision was quite cruel. All the unworthy county princes were reduced to county princes... This also means that no longer
After going down to the county, you will become a commoner after four generations.
There were other staff present at the time, and Feng Lun was among them... Feng Lun had a very high status in the Tiance Mansion. After all, he was a serious prime minister and was involved in many secret affairs within the Tiance Mansion, just because he had been with Li Shan.
There was resentment, so Li Shimin did not let him know Li Shan's life experience.
And this matter was what Feng Lun suggested to Li Yuan without informing Li Shimin in advance. There was a reason to explain it afterwards... It would be better for your Majesty to do this kind of thing. Why should His Highness take such a scapegoat?
Li Shimin really couldn't say anything, because this suggestion was first proposed by Feng Lun within Tiance Mansion.
Pei Shiju, who was sitting in the back with half-closed eyes to rest his mind, glanced at Feng Lun. Among the people present, only he and Feng Lun were former important officials of the Sui Dynasty. He also knew this colleague very well. He was a man who could wait and see the current situation and liked to play on both sides at the same time.
Note guy.
In the former Sui Dynasty, Feng Lun was praised by Yang Su and married Yang Su's cousin. However, Yang Su was seriously ill. Feng Lun immediately got involved with Yang Su's political enemy Su Wei.
Yang Guang was not happy, and Feng Lun quickly climbed into the lap of Yu Shiji, who was most favored by Yang Guang.
Even though Yu Wenhua and Jiangdu later killed the emperor and went north to the Central Plains, they were defeated continuously. Feng Lundun, who was appointed as the internal history order by Yu Wenhua, waited and watched the situation in Jibei. In the end, Yu Wenhua and Li Mi were defeated.
In the end, he chose to vote in Tang Dynasty.
After the two sides argued for a long time, Li Yuan finally decided to put it on hold for the time being.
Now there is only one last thing left, about the successor to the general manager of Lingzhou Marching Road after Handan King Li Huairen returns to the court.
At this time, Chen Shuda, the minister's minister, took out a memorial from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, I just received the memorial from Duke Dou Gui, the deputy general manager of the Lingzhou Road March."
Pei Shiju couldn't help but curse in his heart, Chen Shuda was quite attentive to complimenting the King of Qin!
Thinking about it, he knew that he was also a provincial minister, but he did not see Dou Gui's memorial. It was obviously hidden by Chen Shuda, and it was obviously aimed at him.
The position of Commander-in-Chief of the Marching Army of Lingzhou Road is very important, but there are not many candidates who are qualified to succeed him. Pei Shiju's repeated persuasion in the past few days made Prince Li Jiancheng finally choose to support Li Jing, the Commander-in-Chief of Daizhou.
But before Li Jiancheng's recommendation was revealed, Chen Shuda took action... The others may not be counted, but Pei Shiju knew very well that it must be Li Shan's back-up plan. This was the usual method of that guy.
