Chapter four hundred and thirteenth big trip reward
Li Xian laughed when he heard this and said: "Cheng Wuting is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He has great military exploits and is loyal and upright. I believe he never knew about Pei Yan's forgery of the imperial edict. Otherwise, even if they were close friends, he would definitely oppose it.
I cherish Cheng Wuting as a talented person, so I am granting amnesty. I believe that Cheng Wuting will definitely live up to my expectations in the future, make contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and expand our territory. Cheng Aiqing, do you think so or not?"
When Cheng Wuting heard this, he was shocked, fell to the ground, and said respectfully: "Wuting did not expect to be pardoned by your majesty. Your majesty has taken such pains for the guilty minister, and the guilty minister is ashamed and deeply touched. Please forgive me."
, the guilty minister will definitely go through fire and water for His Majesty in the future, even to the death. If there is a little bit of disloyalty, the guilty minister will die without a burial place. After death, he will go to the eighteenth level of hell, and will not be reborn for ten thousand kalpas."
Li Xian quickly stepped forward, helped Cheng Wuting up, and said with a smile: "I knew that Wuting was a loyal and good man, and it turned out to be true when I saw him today. Haha, now that the Tang Dynasty has eliminated the traitors, the country is stable, it's really
It's great to congratulate you, you all will come with me to Qianyuan Hall, we will discuss matters first and then have a banquet."
Then Li Xian led the ministers to Qianyuan Hall with a smile.
Early on the morning of the 19th day of the first lunar month of the Tang Dynasty, the people in Luoyang City saw His Majesty the Emperor Li Xian personally visiting Zetian Gate to inspect the people. First of all, he announced the change of the Yuan Dynasty, changing the first year of the Emperor Sisheng to the first year of Shenlong (not the historical Shenlong Yuan).
year), and decided to move the court back to Chang'an within ten days and bury Gaozong in Qianling.
Then, one piece of news reached their ears.
The chief prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Zhongshu ordered Pei Yan to collude with Zhang Qianxu, Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi and others to rebel, and they were punished by execution according to the law. Empress Dowager Wu surrendered all power "due to illness" and followed her within half a year.
Gaozong's body went to the imperial mausoleum for burial and a vigil was held for Gaozong.
The former Queen Wang was granted the title of Queen Yide, restored her surname, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum. Her cousin Wang Fangyi was appointed the Governor of the newly established Protectorate of the Western Regions for his meritorious service in defeating the enemy.
The former Concubine Shu, Xiao, restored her title to Concubine Shu, restored her surname, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum.
The former prince Li Xian was proved to be unjustly accused and was posthumously named Prince Zhanghuai. His son Li Guangshun was named King Yong, Li Shouli was named King Bin, Li Shouyi was named the Prince of Yong'an County, and his daughter was named the Princess of Changxin County.
The late Xitai Minister Shangguan Yi was proved to be unjust. Now the imperial court came forward to vindicate him, posthumously gifted Zhongshu Ling, and was granted the title of Grand Governor of Jingzhou. At this time, news came that Shangguan Yi's son Shangguan Tingzhi was still alive, and there were reports that
Insiders said that Shangguan Tingzhi traveled to Japan in the past 20 years, and became a prime minister-level official there. He also persuaded the Japanese vassal to belong to the Tang Dynasty and become ministers for generations, and asked the Tang Dynasty to immigrate to Japan. Therefore, Shangguan Tingzhi, due to his meritorious service,
He was worshiped as the Minister of Rites, the third rank of Tongzhongshu, and was granted the title of Marquis of Weiyuan.
At this time, another big news came. The emperor decreed that Shangguan Wan'er, the daughter of Shangguan Tingzhi, should be made a good concubine, and Wan'er would be in charge of the imperial edict. Therefore, Shangguan Wan'er's father, Shangguan Tingzhi, became an imperial relative.
, and was granted the title of Duke of Chu.
However, later on, Shangguan Wan'er wrote to the emperor, requesting that she be removed from the post of imperial edict and her father from the post of Minister of Rites, on the grounds that her father and daughter were too powerful and were not good for the country. Li Xian praised Wan'er greatly, and then agreed.
At Wan'er's request, he removed his father and daughter from their posts, but ordered his father, Shangguan Tingzhi, to increase the number of households by 200 households.
Of course, Zhao Gui, his father as the queen of the dynasty, was not really worshiped as a minister, because this was also firmly rejected by Zhao Gui. Li Xian then made Zhao Gui the Duke of Qin, and also increased the number of households by 200.
In addition, Li Xian also announced that Dou Xiantong, a daughter of the Dou family in Fufeng, and Wei Tuan'er, a daughter of the Wei family in Jingzhao, would be his concubines. In fact, Li Xian wanted to reveal their real surnames and vindicate Chen Shuozhen, but they were rejected by them.
After all, their mother did rebel once. If Li Xian insisted on doing this for them, even though he was the emperor, there would be many difficulties. Besides, their mother didn't care about this, as long as they could do it for her
After taking revenge, even as long as they live well, that is enough.
Li Xian knew that what they said was reasonable, so he stopped insisting and gave "Mrs. Chen" the title of Mrs. Guo as Dou Xiantong's adoptive mother.
Later, Li Xian announced the identity of the biological mother of the prince Li Chongjun, and named Li Chongjun's biological mother Yang Yushu as a noble concubine. He also named his son Li Chongfu as the king of Liang, and Princess Taiping as the Zhenguo. Princess Taiping also granted 300 food households and Li Dan as the Zhenguo
The Prime Minister granted five hundred households the title of food fief, and the power they held was temporarily unchanged.
At the same time, Xu Jingye and Guo Yuanzhen also announced their surrender to Li Xian and personally went to Luoyang to "apologise" to Li Xian.
Immediately afterwards, new appointments came, with Liu Rengui as the left pusher, the third rank of Tongzhongshu, Li Zhaode as the right pushe, the third rank of Tongzhongshu, Yao Chong as Zhongshuling, the third rank of Tongzhongshu, and Song Jing as

Lou Shide was the Governor of the Tubo Governor's Office and the Minister of Military Affairs of the School Inspectorate. Wang Xiaojie was the Chief Governor of Tianzhu Governor's Office and the Assistant Minister of the School Inspector's Office. Hei Te Changzhi was the Governor of Annan.

In addition, Xu Jingye still gave the surname Li, the tombs of his father and ancestors were re-buried with ceremony, his British dukedom remained unchanged, and an additional 100 households were added to the town. At the same time, he was promoted to General Youwuwei and Grand Governor of Yangzhou.
Governor.
Li Xian's appointment can be said to be very bold and decisive. He placed all the trusted civil and military ministers around him in the most prominent positions. Although most of the prime ministers under Princess Taiping and Li Dan were still prime ministers, they were not.
No one is the top leader in the three provinces and six ministries.
Li Xian had also communicated with them about this in advance. He confessed to his siblings that what he had done was indeed a bit excessive. However, for the sake of overall stability, he could only centralize power so much now. Princess Taiping and Li Dan both expressed their understanding. Although Li Xian
I know that they are unwilling to give up, but now only by depriving them of their power to the greatest extent and leaving them powerless will their desire to fight for power be extinguished. In this way, it can be ensured that they will not hurt the feelings of their compatriots by fighting for power.
Nor will the fight for power lead to siblings from the same mother fighting against each other and doing regrettable things.
After that, Li Xian appointed Liu Youqiu as General Fubo, and gave him a map and compass manufacturing drawings, and ordered him to organize a fleet to sail eastward from Jiangdu, cross the ocean, explore the American continent, and find
Some special plants "corn", "sweet potato" and "potato", etc., so Li Xian officially launched the great navigation plan that would have a far-reaching impact on later generations.
Li Xian originally thought that peace would continue in the Tang Dynasty, but he did not expect that this peace would soon be broken, and another conspiracy was staged in the court... (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
