Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 1271

At this time the sun is setting.

In Longquan Palace, Qin Lang urgently summoned the officers above the rank of lieutenant in the Forbidden Army, as well as the accompanying generals of the Northern and Southern Yamen Guards, and read the emperor's edict to them.

I heard that the emperor died.

All the generals were all sad.

The generals and academies of the Forbidden Army who were naturalized by many Turkic, Khitan, Tiele, Xi, Dangxiang, Tuyuhun and other Hu nationalities reacted even more strongly. cheeky, cut off ears...
It was bloody.

Qin Lang also knew some Hu people's traditions. Many people cut off their hair, cut their faces, or cut off some ears after the death of their relatives or respected leaders.

For example, if a party member has an enemy with someone, he will swear to swear that he will avenge blood, etc.The Turkic people also cut their faces with knives as an expression of grief after the death of a respected leader or a blood relative of a close relative.

It's no wonder that Li Shimin treated these barbarians with a broad mind.

"Now is not the time to grieve. Everyone temporarily put away their grief and guard the news of Emperor Daxing's death. They all cheer up and follow the truth to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and return to Luoyang immediately. Don't disappoint the saint's last words!"

Qin Lang's words woke up these people.

One by one retreated with red eyes, and each went back to the camp to prepare.

Half an hour later, when the sun was about to set, Qin Lang had already put on his armor, and set off with Changsun Wuji, Gao Jifu, Zhang Xingcheng, Cui Dunli, Du Zhenglun, Yu Zhining and other prime ministers.

Five thousand Yulin and Luben's elite cavalry guarded the crown prince. According to the route chosen by Qin Lang, they first traveled a hundred miles north to Pingyin in Jeju.

I chose this because Pingyin is by the Jishui River.

The Jishui River in the Tang Dynasty was called one of the Sidu Rivers. It was originally a large river in Shandong, second only to the Yellow River. This river can directly lead to Bianzhou. Especially after dredging in recent years, this river has always been an important waterway.

Qin Lang not only had to consider that the prince and his party could return to Luoyang quickly, but also had to consider that the emperor's coffin could also return to Luoyang as soon as possible, so it was undoubtedly faster to directly choose Jishui to transport the emperor's coffin.

That night, Qin Lang and his party arrived in Pingyin under the darkness.

The local officials and people were very surprised by this iron cavalry that was speeding around at night, but when the local officials came to inquire, Qin Lang ignored them.

Before setting off, he had already ordered the officers of the various ministries to march quickly, try not to enter the city along the way, and chose to camp in the wild. In terms of supplies, they mainly carried dry food.

It is forbidden to contact local officials, and it is even more forbidden to leak news of the death to the soldiers below.

Day and night, running two hundred miles a day.

It took only five days to rush back to Luoyang City from Longquan Palace on Mount Tai. When the elite cavalry returned to Luoyang, they were already exhausted. In order to hurry, the three horses took turns running, and the horses all died. I lost weight by running.

As soon as he returned to Luoyang, Qin Lang immediately sent troops to take over the city defense of Luoyang and various yamen in Kyoto.

Then escorted the prince into Luoyang Palace.

On the second day after Qin Lang and the others returned to Luoyang, Xu Jingzong and Chu Suiliang also escorted the ice coffin of Emperor Daxing's coffin back with dark circles under their eyes. With the help of Jihe's water transportation, they were not far behind.

Many important officials also followed back by boat. Thousands of forbidden troops escorted by the shore, and more soldiers and horses of the forbidden army were still left behind. Many accompanying officials, relatives, and palace servants It was too late to rush back, and I didn't even know that the emperor had passed away.

The first of October.

Called the civil and military officials in Beijing to the court.

Nine prime ministers, including Qin Lang and Changsun Wuji, read out the imperial edict in front of the Emperor Daxing's spirit in the Qianyang Hall of Luoyang Palace, embracing Prince Li Chengqian as his successor, and pardoning the world.

Hundreds of officials worshiped the Son of Heaven, shouting long live.

Chengqian put on the most solemn emperor's mianfu, with twelve yu on the front and back of the mianguan, twelve coats of arms on his body, the sun and the moon on his shoulders, and the stars on his back.

Sitting on the royal couch in the main hall, looking at the civil and military officials at Shanhu through the beads, Cheng Qian's face was purple with excitement, his hands and feet were sweating, and his throat was tight.

"All lovers are free from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sitting on the imperial couch, Cheng Qian was suddenly in a daze, as if he forgot what to do next.

Until the servant next to him reminded him softly.

Chengqian finally came to his senses, so he issued the first imperial edict to amnesty the world.

Then the second imperial edict entrusted Grand Tutor Qin Lang with the title of Grand Master. He still inspected the Zhongshu Order, and also knew the affairs of the two provinces under the Zhongshu School. .

Jin Taibao's eldest grandson Wuji is the Taifu, and he is still serving as a school inspector, and he knows the minister's family to save trouble.

Jin Taiwei Li Ji was the Taibao.

Both Qin Lang and Changsun Wuji resigned from their part-time positions as the palace officials, and finally the new emperor accepted Qianqian's agreement. Qin Lang used his Taishi to work with the Zhongshu sect, and also checked the school's Zhongshu order to know the Zhongshu to save trouble.

The eldest grandson Wuji Wuji used Tai Fu Tong Zhongshu's sect to make things right, and also served as a school inspector to save troubles under Zhongzhi's sect.

Li Ji used Taibao to make peace with Zhongshumen, and also inspected the school and the left servant shot to know the minister and save trouble.

The three auxiliary ministers were promoted to the third division, and each took over a province.

Xu Jingzong and Chu Suiliang were in charge of the two provinces under the sect of Zhongshu, Zhang Xingcheng and Gao Jifu, Yu Zhining served as ministers, Cui Dunli Zuo Pushe, Du Zhenglun You Pushe, and each of them also served as a minister.

Basically, the center of the new dynasty is determined.

There are hundreds of departments and bureaucrats, each performing his own duties.

Some officials asked if the battle of Liaodong should be stopped?
The new emperor said slowly, "Emperor Daxing's dying edict, the battle to conquer Liao has just started, and it cannot be stopped. Everything is going according to the original plan. Send people to the front line of Liaodong to announce the national mourning to the soldiers. The soldiers will rest for 27 days, and then leave Continue to use troops according to the plan, and hope that the soldiers can live up to the burden of Emperor Daxing, and they can destroy Goguryeo and Baekje as soon as possible, and return to victory as soon as possible!"

In the end, the emperor added the imperial uncle Jing Wang Li Wujing as Taiwei and the governor of Yizhou, the emperor's younger brother Li Ke, the king of Wu, as Situ and the governor of Liangzhou, and the emperor's younger brother Li Zhi, the king of Jin, as Sikong and the governor of Youzhou.

Re-appointed the emperor's younger brother Li Tai as the King of Pu, and Shi Feng led the guests as the governor (Vladivostok).Xu Qi opened a mansion and built a yamen, set up his own officials, ordered Yousi to send troops to escort King Pu to Haidong to lead the guests, and built the governor's mansion and the king's mansion for King Pu.Order the Secretary to buy chariots, horses, clothing, meals, etc., and provide them with priority.

"At the beginning of my ascension to the throne, the affairs of the court and China were all led by the auxiliary ministers Qin Taishi and Changsun Taifu, and the Liao army was always led by the Taibao Li Ji."

This is actually tantamount to breaking the original system of political affairs halls, and changing Qin Lang and Changsun Wuji to preside over the government as auxiliary ministers. The three high-ranking officials became the subordinates of the two, not to mention Zhang Xingcheng and other ministers and ministers.

Chengqian was not in a hurry to seize power, but further clarified the authority of Qin Lang and Changsun Wuji, the two auxiliary ministers. All government affairs were decided by these two masters and Fu.

Another auxiliary minister, Li Ji, was devoted to the military conquest of Liaodong in Liaodong.

After confessing to Qin Lang and Changsun Wuji that they will be fully responsible for organizing the national funeral and preparing for the enthronement ceremony according to the will, Chengqian also announced the end of the first Golden Palace meeting after Lingqian ascended the throne.

Because the yuan will not be changed until next year, according to the usual practice, the canonization of the queen and prince will have to wait until next year.
