Chapter 1051 The Wrath of the Son of Heaven
Li Shimin was very angry.?????
Now that everything is not going well, nothing goes well.
He had nightmares all night and couldn't sleep at all. Once he fell asleep, he would dream of his father Li Yuan, his brothers Jiancheng, Yuan Ji, and his brothers and nephews of a few years old coming. They kept calling him tyrants, fools, lords, lords, lords, lords, usurpers, and lords. He called him ruthless sons and rioters.
Sometimes, he would dream of his second son Li Kuan, his ninth son Li Ming, and his death from jumping into the well, appearing in front of him, with a wet body, and his loose head dripping with water.
Li Shimin was afraid of the night.
He sometimes had to change to five or six rooms to sleep in one night, but he still couldn't sleep. He had to ask someone to light a lot of lights in the room to make the room extremely bright.
With the help of calming the gods or medicines, he can sleep for a short time.
It was finally dawn, and the ghosts who were entangled with him no longer came to him.
Li Shimin had breakfast, millet porridge, freshly cooked goat milk, and two tea eggs.
"Your Majesty, all the prime ministers are here." Wang Chengen came over to report.
The prime ministers came.
During this restoration rebellion, the central government did not suffer much influence. Only Chai Shao, a few important officials, participated in the rebellion. Therefore, as soon as Li Shimin came back, the central government resumed and started work.
The emperor made a little adjustment to the center.
He was in the same position as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, which means to negotiate with the Secretary of the Central Secretariat to handle government affairs. Except for the chiefs of the three provinces, the rest of the officials should be given this title and be the true prime minister.
However, the emperor previously reorganized the Hanlin Academy, which gave the Hanlin Academy most of the power to draft edicts and participate in politics. This time, the emperor appointed a title of political affairs for the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and if he added the title of Tongpingzhang, he would be the real prime minister. The bachelor of the Hanlin Academy was appointed as the title of political affairs, and he was also the auxiliary minister.
The two-way generals were the true prime minister, and the title of assistant to the rank of the magistrate was also the prime minister, but they were only one outside and one inside. The authority of the magistrate was smaller than that of the magistrate, but it was also not weak, and had the power to participate in politics and draft edicts. It was an important means used by the emperor to check and balance the prime ministers under the Secretariat.
Li Shimin also selected several military commanders of the Privy Council, the second commander of the North and South Office, and the Grand Governor of the Fifth Army General Office. Those who added this title were the emperor's military adviser and staff and had the right to conferencing military affairs.
The same as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the Minister of the Political Affairs, and the Military Affairs of Pingzhang, the three titles were the most powerful ministers in the Tang Dynasty today. They were led by the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the Hanlin Academy, the Privy Council, etc.
The emperor also issued a special order that if one of these three titles is added, it will be regarded as the same second rank. Because the chiefs of the three provinces have been promoted to the second rank.
Li, wearing a purple robe, followed Fang Xuanling and other groups of prime ministers into the hall, and the emperor continued to eat breakfast without raising his head. Li actually didn't want to come, but he still held the post of Shangshuling. He resigned several times, but the emperor did not approve it. Therefore, when the emperor summoned all the prime ministers to come today, Li, a fellow minister, had to come, regardless of whether he wanted it or not.
"Sit down." Li Shimin picked up a tea egg, knocked it on the table a few times, and then focused on peeling the shell.
Li was very polite and sat down directly at the emperor's dining table, and the other prime ministers also found chairs to sit down.
The result was a bit awkward, and there were not so many chairs in front of the dining table. Li thought this scene was very funny. Originally, there were not so many prime ministers in the past. The Sui Dynasty used the chiefs of the three provincial governors as prime ministers, and the left and right servants of the Secretariat were the main ones. In addition, the Inner Historian Ling and Na Yan, they were only four prime ministers.
At the beginning of Zhenguan, Li Shimin changed the Zhengshitang to the subordinate of the Secretariat, and added Tongpingzhangshi to be the true prime minister. The number of prime ministers increased greatly. The ministers and ministers may also be prime ministers, and the number of prime ministers reached eleven.
But now, Li Shimin has once again expanded the ranks of the prime minister, and there are nine officials from the Hanlin Academy and the Censorate.
The Privy Council, the two yamen, the Ministry of War, and the Five Armies also had nine Pingzhang military affairs.
Nine people, including the subordinates of the Secretariat, nine officials, nine officials, and nine officials, and nine officials, and there are as many as twenty-seven officials. One stop here is equivalent to one platoon.
The censor and the Minister of War, who were originally under the Secretary of the Central Committee, have now been changed to one of the Chief Secretary and the other to Pingzhang Military Affairs. The three major institutions are quite complicated.
Li also admired the emperor for making the center so complicated.
The separation of military and politics has become internal and external.
Li Shimin peeled an egg, but did not eat it himself, but handed it to Li, "Wenyuan hasn't eaten breakfast yet, right?"
Li was surprised and a little flattered. The emperor peeled tea eggs for himself, and there were so many important officials here.
"I have eaten it, Your Majesty please enjoy it."
"Eat another one after you eat it. The tea egg is very delicious, you can try it." Li Shimin insisted on giving it to Li.
Li had no choice but to take it.
"Go and bring a few more chairs." Li Shimin saw that there were still several ministers without chairs, so he immediately said to the eunuch in a deep voice.
When the chairs were moved, everyone finally had seats. However, although they seemed to sit casually, the seats were actually very particular and no one sat around. Basically, the Pingzhang people sat in the front, and then the Pingzhang military officials who participated in political affairs and commanded the troops sat in the end.
This also fully demonstrates that the Tang Dynasty is still in front of the martial arts.
The emperor did not peel tea eggs for other ministers. There were too many people, and each person had to peel one for a long time. He asked the eunuch to give the ministers two tea eggs. Regardless of the quality of the things, this was also a reward from the emperor.
Everyone thanked each other repeatedly, and then sat there together peeling the tea eggs.
While Li Shimin continued to peel the eggs, he coughed, "Have you seen the memorial I handed over to the two hospitals yesterday?"
The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat is on the east side of the imperial city, and the Hanlin Academy and the Censorate are in the west. Therefore, the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat is now commonly known as the East Court, and the Hanlin Academy and the Censorate are collectively known as the West Court. As for the Privy Council, it is called the South Court because it is in the south of the imperial city.
The three hospitals jointly governed the current military and political structure of the Tang Dynasty.
Although Pingzhang's military affairs in the South Court are of a second-rank high position, they can also participate in military affairs. However, their rights and responsibilities are also clearly defined. They mainly discuss matters related to military affairs, including the appointment and removal of military generals, and they have no right to interfere in the normal government affairs.
As the prime minister under the Secretariat, Fang Xuanling put down the tea eggs in his hand and replied to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I have different objections to that memorial. Although I have to deal with the rebel party, there are too many people involved in that memorial and the handling is too severe. It is unreasonable to be executed by those who are involved in the rebellion."
There were more than 10,000 people in the memorial handed down by the emperor.
Almost all of these more than 10,000 people involved the rebellion, as well as many famous aristocratic families. In the words of the emperor, all of these people will be executed. The family members of these people are involved. If they really want to kill people according to this list, they will kill more than 100,000.
