Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

It's just that during the years of Tianhou, not only did the country not have major turmoil, but the country was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and he personally ruined the Tang Dynasty.

'That's all, that's all! '

Li Longji lost his ambition in an instant, and if the young and powerful prince did not support him, who would support a dying old man?

The prince also knelt on the ground with his head lowered. Although his face was tense, there was still tension and excitement that could not be concealed between his brows and eyes.

Li Longji said in a deep voice: "Today, I will pass on to the crown prince. From now on, this heavy burden will be on your shoulders!"

"My son... my son will live up to my father's great trust. Sooner or later, I will restore Chang'an and rebuild the prosperous Kaiyuan!"

The prince's excited voice trembled.

Li Longji said noncommittally: "I'm old, I can't stand the toss, I'm going to Bashu, away from the disputes between right and wrong, you can take the soldiers and officials to Lingwu, there are still some strong frontier fortresses available, and the heavy responsibility of restoring orthodoxy will be handed over to you." Here you go."

"Father, the child is not filial!"

The prince cried and kowtowed.

"Hey, Gao Lishi, let's go!"

Li Longji sighed and stumbled back.

"Hurry up, why don't you pack your bags for the Supreme Emperor?"

Gao Lishi shouted loudly, and quickly stepped forward to support Li Longji.

The eunuchs and maids immediately got busy and cleaned up for a while. About a hundred eunuchs and maids and a hundred or so guards followed Li Longji away.

The chariot and horse creaked on the bumpy road.

"I will send you off to the Supreme Emperor!"

The ministers and soldiers knelt down one after another to bid farewell to Li Longji. Starting today, Li Longji has officially withdrawn from the stage of history.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Some people are still alive, but he is dead!"

When the news came that Li Longji had abdicated and left Bashu, Chen E couldn't help but feel emotional.

Mei Niang also sighed: "Unexpectedly, when I get old, I will end up in self-imposed exile. Although the poor monk hates his ruthlessness, he also feels sorry for him. How can such a good and enlightened king be so faint."

Mei Niang and Wan'er have already moved back to Daming Palace, calling it the old place to revisit, but Li Lingyue knew in her heart that this mother was here to monitor her, and she was afraid that she and Chen E would do something, if another child came out, That's a big deal.

Li Lingyue glanced at Mei Niang helplessly, and asked, "Should we send troops to pursue?"

Chen E shook her head: "It's bitterly cold in Kansai, even if the crown prince wins a strong army in Kansai, it will be difficult to continue.

The top priority is to proclaim the emperor, declare to the world, establish the orthodox position, and at the same time promulgate the reform of the imperial examinations, and formulate a ten-year constitutional plan, and then use troops to the east to destroy the false Yan. The connection in Longyou, Hexi, within a few years, the regime of the abolished prince will collapse without a fight. "

"Well, this is the old man's view of seeking the country!"

Mei Niang nodded in approval.

But Chen E reminded: "I'm afraid you have forgotten our agreement, what did you say before entering the palace?"

"Humph!"

Mei Niang snorted: "Isn't it just not interfering in state affairs? Where did I intervene? I can't even say a word of agreement?"

"Push!"

Wan'er chuckled, took Mei Niang's hand, and said, "Your Majesty, I think I should add that the lands and houses of the officers and men fleeing west will be kept by the imperial court for one year. If they don't come back to claim them after one year, they will all be confiscated." .”

"Ok?"

Mei Niang's eyes lit up, she was about to praise, but she closed her mouth tightly, and glared at Chen E dissatisfied.

Li Lingyue said with a smile: "Wan'er's idea is good, I will promulgate it when I ascend the throne and amnesty the world."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for boasting!"

Wan'er smiled and saluted.

Chen E expressly prohibited Mei Niang from interfering in political affairs, but Wan'er couldn't help it. Wan'er was reinstated as an official and took care of documents for Li Lingyue.

Three days later, Tongguan was recovered, and ten days later, Li Lingyue built an altar in the southern suburbs, crowned herself, ascended the throne as emperor, and took the reign name of Republic. This year still uses Tianbao, and next year will be the first year of Republic.

At the enthronement ceremony, Li Lingyue announced the reform of the imperial examination, the establishment of the Imperial College, and officially divided the students into Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi. There were county examinations, government examinations, township examinations, and general examinations. In the academy, the top three and the two Jinshi were selected by the palace examination, and they were assigned to be editors and editors of the Imperial Academy, and they practiced in six departments in rotation.

Immediately announced amnesty for the world, exempting Guanzhong from taxes for three years. For the puppet Yan, whoever donated the heads of An Qingxu, Shi Siming and his sons, Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang, etc., will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and granted the title of Marquis of Kaiguo, and the rest will be opened before the arrival of the Tang army. If the city surrenders, its crimes can be forgiven, and the past will not be investigated.

In addition, for Li Longji, he fled to the emperor and deposed the prince Li Rui as the king of Luling. The fields and houses of the fleeing soldiers and officials were kept for one year, otherwise they would be confiscated.

As for constitutionalism, it was not mentioned at the grand ceremony. After all, to be honest, constitutional monarchy has nothing to do with ordinary people. The original intention of constitutionalization is not to distribute power to ordinary people, but to distribute power and negotiate mechanisms within the ruling class. Formal elaboration in the form of an oracle.

Around the altar, armored soldiers stood everywhere, and hundreds of thousands of people watched the ceremony, bursting into cheers from time to time.

"Hey~~"

Empress Wei also watched the ceremony with Yuhuan. At this time, she said with emotion: "Mother, when Emperor Taizong held the imperial examination, he once laughed and said: Heroes in the world are in my pocket, but compared with the reform of the imperial examination by the emperor, it is nothing." Yes, this is the real way to accept all the talents in the world. Talented people are all going to be officials and eat the royal salary. Who else would be full to support the rebellion?

Yuhuan nodded and said: "As expected of the eldest princess, she is indeed a strange woman."

Empress Wei shook her head and said: "I can't see it. The Eldest Princess may not have such a clever strategy. It is probably due to Chen Zhuangyuan's handwriting. Look, Madam, isn't that right?"

Yuhuan looked over and saw that Chen E was also on the altar. Although she was dressed in bodyguards, she seemed to stand out from the crowd.

Empress Wei smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant will bring Chen Zhuangyuan to your Majesty as soon as possible."

"Who's in a hurry?"

Yuhuan doesn't follow the Tao.

Empress Wei also had spring in her beautiful eyes, looking at Chen E on the stage.

……

Lingshan!

Maitreya Buddha withdrew his gaze from staring at the water mirror, and sighed: "Poor Emperor Ziwei made a plan to take advantage of Chen Guangrui. Then Li Lingyue is clearly a puppet. He is the real master of the Tang Dynasty. This son is a good trick. Conquering the country without making a sound, it's amazing!"

"Amitabha~"

Tathagata shouted the Buddha's name and said: "Chen Guangrui didn't have any different intentions at the beginning. After all, Emperor Ziwei was contaminated with the habits of human emperors and became accustomed to beatings. Then Chen Guangrui is also very capable. He has been beaten a lot. How can he drink one drink at a time without resentment?" Pecking, everyone has a front, it's just self-inflicted."

"Heh~~"
