MTL - Chastity Layman-Chapter 1329 Golden Palace Proclamation

  Chapter 1329 The Golden Palace Xuanzhao

  Luoyang.

  The first day of December, the Great Dynasty.

  Officials above the fifth rank in Beijing, officials enshrining permanent senators, nobles above marquis, and court envoys from other places gathered to go to court.

   "Haotian has an order, and the emperor accepts it!"

  The atmosphere of the court today is dignified. Before the court meeting started, many well-informed people knew that something big would happen today. And when the Hanlin scholar stood on the hall and read out the edict, starting with Haotian's order and the emperor accepting it.

  Everyone knew it was going to be a big deal.

  Because this kind of beginning is no longer an ordinary edict, this kind of beginning is almost the opening word of the emperor's enthronement edict, which is much higher than the edict starting with the door.

  All the officials pricked up their ears and listened nervously.

During this period of time, the political situation in Chaotang was treacherous, and it was developing in an extremely astonishing direction. Many people had a premonition of the direction of progress, but they couldn't believe it, because the vast majority of people thought it was impossible, and felt that it would be impossible if it was true. The consequences are too serious for the emperor to be unaware.

"Queen Su's family is stubborn and resentful, and has violated the teaching order many times. She can't follow her son, and she can't teach the elders. If you see eagles and falcons in the palace, you don't have the virtue of "Guanju", but you have the style of Lu and Huo. How can it be possible? Entrust the young orphans, and respectfully inherit the Ming Dynasty.

   Today, Situ and Zong Zhengqing are sent to Zhou Wangyuan to hold the ceremony, and the queen's seal is attached to it.

  Retired to Xianju Hall of Shangyang Palace, abolished as common people, parents and brothers, removed from name, and lived in Lingnan. "

   Sure enough.

  When the edict came out, the whole hall was shocked.

  Because there are too many people in the court today, those who can stand in the hall are basically princes and high-ranking officials in the front ranks, and there are countless officials lining up outside the hall.

  Queen Su was deposed.

This is actually not surprising, because the emperor has called for the abolition of the Su family for more than ten years. Even when the emperor was still the crown prince, he was unwilling to marry the Su family as the crown prince at the beginning. At the beginning, because of this, the storage position was almost lost.

  Su's ability to survive for more than 20 years, to be honest, has already exceeded everyone's expectations.

   It is not surprising that it was abolished today.

  The ministers are actually still waiting for more shocking news, because today's atmosphere cannot just abolish the Su family.

  A scholar of the Hanlin Academy came to the scholar of the Hanlin Academy holding a red sandalwood box.

  The box opened, and there was another edict.

  Shangguan Yi, a senior scholar, unfolded his expressionless face.

   "Abolish the Crown Prince Xiang as an edict for the common people!"

  As soon as this sentence came out, there was some commotion in the hall. It was not surprise, but more of a meaning that it was so true.

"The position of the prince is really the foundation of the country. If he is not his own person, he should not stand in vain. Since ancient times, the vice-president, or lack of talent, long-term evil, but still guarding the weapon, are all spoiled by love and lost to reason, resulting in The clan is ruined, and the common people are devastated."

   "From this point of view, the safety of the world depends on the successor, and the great cause is handed down to the next generation. Isn't it important!"

"Emperor Prince Xiang, the land is long, the love is beloved, when he first ascended the throne, he built a spring palace, hoped that his virtues would be renewed day by day, and Longzi would be burdened. But his sexual knowledge is mediocre, his benevolence and filial piety are unknown, he is close to villains, and he is a traitor. It's hard to be disciplined by going back and forth."

   "But the common people, the people of heaven, I respect the destiny of heaven, and should be safe and educated. Although I want to love my son, I really fear the spirit. How dare I use an unworthy son to disrupt the world?"

   "Xiang and his men and women are kings and princesses, and they can be deposed as ordinary people. Gu Weizhao Shu, things are not what they are, and I am deeply ashamed to say this!"

   Li Xiang was eventually abolished.

In the final analysis, the eldest son of the emperor lacked foundation. His mother, Mrs. Pei, was originally the granddaughter of Pei Ji. Yin Enchong, but in the end Li Shimin personally ordered him to die in the East Palace.

  After the death of his biological mother, Li Xiang was adopted under the name of the infertile concubine Su, but the concubine was not liked by the prince. Although the martial arts Su family was also the family of the prime minister and a famous family, it was not outstanding in the Zhenguan Dynasty.

  When Li Shimin was in power, Li Xiang's status was fairly stable. Once Li Shimin died, the status of Li Xiang and the Su family was unstable. Li Xiang had repeatedly asked to resign from the position of prince, and it has finally come to this day.

  After the Su family was abolished, Li Xiang, the step-son of the Su family, did not have the support of a strong matriarchal family, so naturally he could not sit firmly as the prince.

  The current emperor is not an emperor like Li Shimin, who has repeatedly wavered on the matter of Yi Chu. Li Yin has long wanted to change the Chu, but it has not been the right time.

   After all, Li Xiang was just a concubine, his biological mother was of humble status, and his aunt was not favored. This fate was foreseen a long time ago. It's just that everyone didn't expect that the emperor really didn't have the slightest affection for the eldest son.

  Demoted directly to a commoner, without even retaining a prince.

   Li Xiang is so innocent. The crown prince has been in power for fourteen years, and he has done nothing wrong. He has always been cautious, always afraid of doing something wrong, but in the end he was deposed as a commoner and exiled to the Western Regions.

   Another Hanlin scholar stepped forward holding a red sandalwood box.

  The ministers in the palace were all moved.

   It seems that today, major events follow one after another.

"Concubine Qin Gui and Concubine Qin Shu were deceived by Wu Zhu, and they were all abolished as ordinary people. Their male and female kings and princesses were also abolished. Taishi, Qi Wang Qin Lang has made great achievements, and is exempted."

   When this edict came out, it immediately caused a huge exclamation.

  Although many people expected this to happen, it was surprising when it actually happened.

  Many people were surprised that the emperor dared to attack the Qin family.

  Although Qin Lang was exempted from being implicated, none of Qin Lang's brothers escaped the disaster. Qi Guogong Qin Xun seized the title and was dismissed, and was also confiscated as the governor of Songzhou.

  Qin Huaidao's brothers were also deprived of the county magistrate of Tuen Shifeng Songzhou Governor's Mansion, as well as their official titles.

   All of them were removed from their ancestry as ordinary people, and even Cui's imperial order was deprived.

   Fortunately, he only seized the title of world title and official rank, and his property was not moved, nor was he exiled to Lingnan or the Western Regions.

  The most important thing is that Qin Lang was not implicated this time, which made many people feel that there is still room for this matter, otherwise, if Qin Lang is also deprived of the title this time, the consequences will probably be serious.

   Even if it is like this now, many people in the hall are still muttering in their hearts, that Luzon saint from the South China Sea, can he really hold his breath?

  But the second concubine of the Qin family and their eight princes and five princesses were demoted to common people, and they were all exiled to Shannan Fangzhou for confinement. No one was surprised.

  Political struggles are not like this, and they are not given to commit suicide, which is already considered good.

  The crown prince Li Xiang was right, but he was deposed as a common man in the end.

Some people are thinking that maybe after the eight princes are exiled to Fangzhou, the emperor will find a reason to restore the title of Duke or County King, and then grant a false title or something, and stay in Fangzhou to idle .

  The Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, the ruling Council of the Privy Council, the Minister of Transportation, the Head of the Yushi Station, and the Bachelor of the Imperial Academy, none of the heads of the imperial court stood up to oppose it.

  The other princes are even less likely to stand up.

  In fact, being able to read the imperial edict in the palace means that the emperor had already communicated with these people in the early stage and gained their support. Anyway, the emperor had plenty of means to get their support.

  Just like Cui Dunli, Pei Xingjian, etc. who opposed the establishment of imperial concubines and imperial concubines at the beginning, the opposition is invalid, and whoever opposes will be kicked out.

  With the authority of the emperor today, it is no longer the situation when he first succeeded to the throne.

If Xu Jingzong remained silent for a while, the emperor would demote him first, and then instruct Yushitai to expose black information, take advantage of the situation to dismiss him, beat him severely, and wait for him to surrender completely and show his loyalty before sending him back Bring it back to the government affairs hall.

   Another Hanlin scholar held a red sandalwood box.

  The ministers in the palace were even a little numb.

  Come on, come together.

  The emperor was really quick to do things, and all the important edicts were issued together, and he didn't intend to say that there would be a buffer every other time. Under normal circumstances, the concubine must be abolished first, then the queen, then the prince, and then a new prince, and then a new prince. There must be some time in between, or three to five months or half a year.

  But today the emperor wants to do everything at once.

   One emperor and two concubines were abolished, the prince and Zhao Wang under the name of Empress Su, and eight princes and five princesses under the names of two Qin concubines were abolished.

  One queen and two concubines, one prince, nine princes and five princesses, were deposed on the same day.

  Shangguanyi's hand holding the edict trembled a little.

  Throat is also tight.

  He coughed twice.

   "Li Wei Huangchen Concubine is the Empress Edict!"

   "I only follow Taoism, and internal governance is the foundation of human relations. Teaching the family and the country, and the pottery is the foundation of kingship. Zi Shude is based on the inheritance, and it is appropriate to rectify the name and build the code.

   Zier Webster is the daughter of Gong Wei Xuanzhen.

  Zhongxiang's family, a well-known Yuxiu family. The nature is gentle and dignified, and the etiquette is virtuous. Roujia is a model, and her style is well-known in the court. Yongsu held his body and allowed his mother to honor her at home and abroad.

   I hereby accept the grace of heaven, and take Cebao Lier as the queen. "

  ·······

  Finally, no Hanlin scholars came up with red sandalwood boxes, and all the edicts were read out.

  The emperor sat on the throne, his eyes swept over every prince and minister in the hall.

   Today's shock was big enough.

  Now the ministers are still suffering from concussions. In retrospect, since the end of Zhenguan period, the violent shocks in the court have never stopped. Emperor Shizu personally initiated several major cases and purged many honorable ministers.

   Then, now that he succeeded to the throne, Qin Lang was forced to resign and return to the feudal title.

Changsun Wuji and other veterans presided over the government, and under his leadership, the Fang Yiai and Wu Wangke rebellion cases were set off. The two major rebellion cases implicated several princes and concubines, and purged hundreds of people who threatened the new emperor. By the way, some of Changsun Wuji's old political opponents, such as Fang Xuanling's family, Du family, Wei family and Wang family, were also cleaned up again.

   It's just that Changsun Wuji probably didn't expect that he cleared these obstacles for the emperor's nephew, but soon the emperor's nephew cleaned him up too.

  Changsun Wuji's treason case involved more people and more ministers were purged.

  Basically, Changsun Wuji was surrounded by the Guanlong aristocratic group at that time, and this round of purges almost completely crippled them, and benefited from the wealthy and powerful group led by Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu. In this round of struggle, the Military Group, represented by Li Ji, expressed its neutrality, and actually stood on the emperor's side in the end.

  The emperor skillfully divided the veteran faction, and finally united with the gentry and nobles and the military upstart faction to overthrow the Guanlong aristocratic group headed by Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang.

  The Guanlong Group, which had been in decline after the Sui Dynasty, was no longer as strong as it was in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasties. It finally recovered a little momentum under the leadership of Changsun Wuji, and was completely wiped out.

  I thought that this kind of struggle should be over when the emperor gained power.

  But now it seems that it is far from over.

   Abolishing Su and Qin Liwei, this is going again for Qin Lang.

   Some people can't help but wonder, is it possible that the emperor is going to launch an attack on the military upstart group immediately, because everyone knows that Qin Lang is the leader representative of the military upstart group.

  Zuo Servant Xu Jingzong sat there, watching his nose, nose, and heart, like an old monk in meditation, calm.

   In fact, I was lamenting in my heart.

In fact, the matter of abolishing the Soviet Union was to be done with Li Yin's ability. As early as ten years ago, he could issue an edict to abolish the Soviet Union, but until the end of the fourteenth year when he was on the throne, he was actually using this matter to go under the net. Changsun Wuji and others.

  From the purge of Changsun Wuji to the attack on the Qin family, Xu Jingzong has seen more thoroughly than others.

   This is not an opinion on a certain minister.

  It is the emperor who wants to strengthen the imperial power, cleanse the elders and ministers who have invaded the imperial power, and even reshape the system of prime ministers formed since Zhenguan.

   This is just like Li Shimin, who sat on the throne, purged Wude Prime Minister Pei Ji and others after the Xuanwumen Incident. It was all to restore the power structure of the court, and in the final analysis, it was all to strengthen his own imperial power.
