Great Tang princess

Chapter 796 Personnel Transfer
This kind of thing is not a joke, after all, Emperor Gaozu abdicated after Taizong launched a coup.

After he abdicated, he fell into a slump, doing nothing every day, just playing with women in the harem and constantly giving birth to children.

Generally speaking, the emperor who was ousted by the coup should have aggravated his illness because of this.

However, looking at the current emperor, not only does he not cough, but his face is full of red.

When Zhang Chengxin announced his abdication edict, he didn't show any reluctance, instead he seemed to have a slight smile on his face.

Many ministers felt that this matter seemed a bit weird, but they couldn't think of the specifics.

The edict of abdication clearly states that the emperor will pass on the throne to the crown prince from today, and later move to Shangyang Palace, where he will be honored as the Supreme Emperor.

Then Li Xian, who was wearing a crown, walked out slowly with solemn steps, and saluted in front of the emperor.

Wu Zetian slowly stretched out his hand, took his son's hand, and asked him to sit on the dragon chair together.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be done like this, it's not in line with etiquette.

However, from the moment the queen ascended the throne, this etiquette has been broken countless times.

So no one said much in this scene, they waited quietly for the ceremony to end.

Sun Jingbang, the newly-appointed chief executive, took out an edict and announced loudly that from today onwards, the country's name will be changed back to "Tang", the full name is Great Tang Empire.

Wei Lian'er was named Queen, Li Yuechen, Princess Xuancheng and Princess Yiyang were all named Eldest Princesses.

After the enthronement ceremony was completed, it was almost noon.

The new emperor held a large banquet, invited courtiers and foreign envoys to dinner, watched singing and dancing performances and so on.

During the meal, many ministers looked at the expressionless Princess Taiping in the front row.

They have all received the news that the princess broke into the East Palace directly after landing, and she was still carrying weapons.

It's just that I don't know why they didn't fight, but I heard that a lot of things seem to have been smashed.

But in any case, if she doesn't make trouble anymore, it means that the court situation can be stabilized.

From now on, they just need to obediently listen to the new emperor.

After the ceremony, the ministers dispersed to prepare for the new era.

Many people are terrified, not knowing what will happen to them.

After all, as the saying goes, once the emperor and the courtiers, the new emperor ascended the throne, it is inevitable to reward meritorious deeds, the current situation will definitely change.

……

After lunch, Li Yuechen came to Shangyang Palace.

Although I haven't been here a few times since Shangyang Palace was completed, I have to say that this is indeed the most luxurious palace that Li Yuechen knows, far surpassing Daming Palace and Ziwei Palace.

Shangyang Palace is to the west of Ziwei Palace, so it is also called West Palace.

The overall pattern is to sit west and face east, covering an area of ​​about eight square kilometers.

Standing outside the gate of the palace gate, what you see is red and white.

All the walls are white, and all the exposed wood is painted bright red.

Looking around, all the palaces inside are the contrast between red and white.

The gate is on the edge of Luoshui, and there is a stone-carved toad on each side, which is lifelike.

Enter the gate, pass through the wide square, and you will be facing the main palace of Shangyang Palace, Guanfeng Hall.

Of course, this is just in case the emperor comes to listen to the government and go to court, and there is no way to live there.

The place where the mother lives is the Fragrant Hall at the back, and that is where she lives.

Stepping on the tightly-fitting stone brick floor to enter the palace gate, Li Yuechen glanced at the harem far away.

He waved to the guard on the side: "Bring the horse here, it's really a bit far away."

He rode his horse all the way to the harem, and stopped in front of the Fragrance Hall.

After entering the hall, I saw my mother standing with Shangguan Wan'er, discussing some decorations in the hall.

A young court lady is hanging a pair of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy on the wall according to her mother's instructions.

"What does Wan'er think?"

"Go back to the saint, it's not centered enough, it should be better to go to the left."

"Well, go further to the left then."

Seeing her daughter coming, Wu Zetian waved: "Chen'er, how about taking a look?"

"These things are as long as they look comfortable." Li Yuechen smiled.

Strolled a few steps in the hall, looked left and right before asking: "Aniang, is she not used to living here?"

"It's okay, anyway, I'm going to go out to play after a while, it doesn't matter." Wu Zetian smiled calmly.

She really doesn't care about these things now. She has been busy for so many years, and now she can finally rest, and doesn't want to worry about these trivial things.

Li Yuechen smiled slightly, and felt that his mother had really let go of the burden of the throne now.

Not long after, the two sisters and several other brothers came, even Li Xian, who had just ascended the throne, also came.

Looking at the elder brother who was wearing a pair of crowns, Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows: "You have just been enthroned, so you came here?"

"Come and see what A Niang needs, I can help." Li Xian smiled.

Seeing his grinning face, Wu Zetian smiled and shook his head. After all, this son is not suitable for the position of emperor.

But in any case, it is a good thing for a child to be filial, and she didn't say much on this topic.

Then the family began to chat in the hall.

……

Compared with the happy atmosphere of the royal family, the ministers of the DPRK and China are constantly inquiring about news, thinking about how to behave next.

As the saying goes, once the emperor and the courtiers, now that the new emperor is in power, the position in the court must be changed.

After all, the new emperor came to power through a coup, and he must be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. So which position will be handed over has become a very critical issue.

Originally they thought they should wait a little bit, but they didn't expect the emperor to start the next day.

Early the next morning, Wu Chengsi was called into the palace to chat with the emperor.

When I came here, I was somewhat uneasy in my heart.

This time the new emperor came to power, although his younger brother Wu Sansi helped, but he didn't do anything, and he didn't even know it.

Li Xian also lived in Jixian Hall, living here is indeed very comfortable.

Wu Chengsi saluted respectfully: "I have seen Your Majesty."

"No courtesy." Li Xian raised his hand, and while calling Sun Jingbang to serve tea, he said, "I called my cousin over today, just for a casual chat, don't be nervous."

But hearing this sentence, Wu Chengsi became even more nervous.

When the emperor tells you to chat casually, it often means that there is something to say, and most of it is not something that can be said in the open.

He replied fearfully: "Of course, please speak, Your Majesty."

……

No one knew what the two chatted in the palace, but Wu Chengsi went to play the next day, saying that he was getting old and feeling a little unwell, and asked to be resigned.

The emperor held back for a while with a look of pity, but Wu Chengsi insisted on leaving.

In the end, Li Xian agreed to his request, but he was only allowed to leave his post. The title given by the Supreme Emperor was not taken back, and the salary that should be given every year did not decrease at all.

Wu Chengsi left, and the position of Minister of Rites became vacant. In order to express his regret, Li Xian decided to let his younger brother Wu Sansi take the place.

In this way, Wu Sansi became the new Minister of Rites.

This meant that the new emperor was about to start rewarding his meritorious deeds, which made many ministers feel nervous.

Needless to say, Zhang Jianzhi, the chief assistant of the cabinet is already the biggest official, and there is no possibility of changes.

However, Li Xian gave him the special promotion of the second rank. Although he has no real power, it is equivalent to giving him an extra salary.

The other is Yan Yanfan, who was directly promoted to become the new Fengge Sheren. As for the previous Fengge Sheren, Shangguan Wan'er, she became the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.

In the eyes of many ministers, this is a warning from the new emperor to Princess Taiping.

It's not a secret that she and Shangguan Wan'er are in the court, they basically know about it.

Now the new emperor is giving Shangguan Wan'er a demotion instead of a promotion. To put it bluntly, he is telling her not to make trouble.

Of course, it can be understood in this way. After all, the position of Fengge Sheren still needs someone who the emperor trusts enough to take it.

Obviously, the new emperor did not trust Shangguan Wan'er.

This matter was naturally the result of discussions between Li Xian and Li Yuechen.

Shangguan Wan'er is the future chief assistant of the cabinet. Before that, it won't hurt to exercise more.

Coupled with the fact that the new emperor is on the throne, it is impossible for her, the previous Fengge Sheren, to continue to hold this position.

So it's better to take this opportunity to put it in another position and let her exercise more.

The Ministry of Punishment is also an extremely important department, especially after the reform of the law, its importance is even more obvious.

Shangguan Wan'er's training in such a department can also give her more work experience in the future.

Although he is nearly 40 years old, he is still a young man to Chaotang.

As for Pei Tan, he became a royal doctor.

For such an arrangement, many ministers are waiting to see a joke.

Just because Pei Tan is notoriously afraid of his henpeck, is it possible for such a person to be a doctor of imperial history?

However, Pei Tan didn't care about this matter at all. Instead, he generously admitted that he was afraid of his wife, but so what?

Although being afraid of his wife is considered a social trend in this era, it is rare for someone to admit it openly like him.

And it must be admitted that since the queen came to power, the number of henpecked men seems to be increasing year by year.

Compared with the previous year, this ratio is probably only a lot more.

The emperor's award for meritorious deeds is almost over here, and the rest has not moved much.

The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War will not be moved anymore. Now it is the territory of the royal family, and outsiders can't get in, and they don't know how the royal family discusses it.

All the members of the royal family are now in the army, and outsiders can't get in touch with them at all.

Even if they can get in touch occasionally, it won't make them so easy to fool, and they don't know what kind of education these children received in the army.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was May.

On the first day of May, after the Great Court Meeting, after lunch, Li Xian went to Shangyang Palace to discuss with his mother about the fifth day of May.

When Li Yuechen and the other children came over, they happened to see Li Xian was shaking his mother's hand.

"Oh, let's go together, Auntie. The dragon boat race is very interesting."

Wu Zetian had an impatient expression on his face: "I'm not going, it's too troublesome to put on a show after passing. Besides, the dragon boat race is not worth watching."

Originally, she didn't have much interest in sports, not to mention that since there was a football game, the dragon boat didn't feel very interesting.

Regarding this, Li Xian just sighed, and didn't know how to continue persuading him.

"Okay brother, it's fine if you don't want to go, you can go and see for yourself." Li Yuechen greeted with a smile.

"That's the only way..." Li Xian nodded slightly.

Wu Zetian said: "Besides, compared to the dragon boat race, I still think it's interesting to go out and see."

As soon as the words fell, Li Dan on the side spoke: "Auntie is going out to play, how about taking the baby with you?"

"Why bring you?" Wu Zetian asked back.

"This... Anyway, the child has nothing to do, why not go out with A Niang for sightseeing..." Li Dan smiled awkwardly.

It is true to say that now, in the royal family of his generation, basically everyone has something to do.

He is the only one who plays music, practice calligraphy, and plays games at home every day, without doing anything.

It's not that Li Yuechen never thought about finding him a job, the problem is that he's already disabled and has no interest in anything.

During the period when he also served as Minister of the Ministry of War, he was listless every day.

After a long time, Li Yuechen didn't bother to care about him anymore. After all, he was free-range since he was a child, so it's normal to become like this.

Fortunately, he doesn't like to go out to wander or bully men and women on weekdays. He just likes to engage in art, so let him go.

And to be honest, Li Dan's musical quality is really not bad, he can play everything from piano to drum.

This gene was even passed on to his sons, and basically all of his sons can play musical instruments.

"It's actually good."

Li Yuechen smiled: "My brother went to play with A Niang, and he can also serve by his side, and he can also take pictures of A Niang.

Li Xian next to him picked up the teacup and grinned: "And from the perspective of outsiders, they might think that the third child sent to monitor A Niang."

"Yes, that's fine!" Li Xian came to his senses all of a sudden, and then said, "Aniang, let Dandan go with me."

"Don't call me that!" Li Dan was full of resentment towards the nickname.

"Well, it's fine to call him the fourth child." Li Yuechen hugged his neck and laughed loudly.

Li Dan immediately drooped his eyelids: "How can you be so disrespectful to Brother Wei?"

"Then you can also call her Lao Liu?" Li Xian laughed.

Because Li Yuechen had a sister who died young, judging from the ranking, she was indeed the sixth child.

It's just that Li Yuechen, who knew the stalk well, immediately raised his hand to stop it: "Forget it."

Li Yuechen didn't bother to explain to them the Internet stalking after a thousand years, so he changed the subject directly: "Speaking of which, the battalion led by Cheng Qi should follow along, just to protect A Niang."

Others agreed with this idea.

After all, these people followed Li Xian in the coup d'état, and it was normal for them to accompany and "monitor" the Supreme Emperor.

Wu Zetian didn't care, and didn't express any opinions.

Seeing a group of children sitting and chatting together, she asked Zhang Chengxin to make tea for them.

After getting off work, I observed the children carefully, and found that there didn't seem to be much change. Instead, I seemed to be willing to really calm down and take a good look at them.
