"Your Majesty, the prefecture military system has been formed since the Qin and Han Dynasties. It has a history of more than a thousand years now. If we break this rule, it will be very difficult to implement a new military strategy.”
Xiao Yu, who had been silent all this while, stood up.
This was the brother-in-law of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. His sister, Empress Xiao, was a famous beauty in history, a legendary character who served six emperors.
"Since it's a reform of the entire country, how can we change our guard?”
Li Xuan knew that many of these ex-elders of the Sui Dynasty were against it, but no matter what, the Great Tang had to reform.
If this kind of old national policy continued, he would probably not be able to establish a prosperous era until he died.
In history, Li Er's Zhenguan reign had caused the Great Tang to be extremely poor. There was no such thing as a bullsh * t prosperous era. There were locust plagues, refugees, droughts, and wars everywhere.
How could a Great Tang like this have a golden age?
The true golden age of the Tang Empire was during the reign of Wu Zetian. As for the spread of Han culture, it had a deep influence during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. This was a hundred years later.
"The implementation of the national policy is imperative. I also hope that you will not rely on your own strength to harm the country for a lifetime. Since I have formulated the national policy, I have my own chances of winning.”
Li Xuan sighed. He knew what these old fellows were thinking. He looked up and said,""The peaks are like a gathering, the waves are like raging waves, the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, he hesitated. I am sad that the place where the Qin and Han dynasties passed through has been turned into soil. Rise, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer.”
"Your Majesty…"
In an instant, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Wei Zheng, Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, and the other scholars all understood the meaning of Li Xuan's poem on the spot.
"The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed. The emperor must die, and the ministers are just changing the title of emperor. I wholeheartedly serve the people and the country. If someone tries to obstruct me, I will destroy all the crafty clans that have harmed the people even if I have to die.”
With that said, Li Xuan sat back on the dragon throne and waved his hand.""Forget it. The matter that we have agreed on today will be drafted by the Ministry of Central Affairs. After that, it will be sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for review. In the end, it will be reviewed by me. If there are no major problems, I will announce it to the world after my Fengshan and implement the national policy.”
"Yes!"
The crowd quickly bowed with cupped hands. For the first time, Li Xuan felt that being an emperor was f * cking tiring. He rubbed his brows and recalled something."General Xue!"
"I'm here!"
Xue Wanche, who had been standing silently in front of the hall, quickly stood up.
"Immediately order people to take the heads of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and send them to the King of Qin in the Eastern Capital. Tell him that I will wait here for him to launch a counterattack. If I can seize the throne of the Son of Heaven, I will not escape and commit suicide here.”
Li Xuan quickly picked up a brush and hurriedly wrote a few lines before stamping it with his imperial seal."However, I want to remind him that if he causes another war and one of the commoners is injured or killed, I will kill the prince of the King of Qin! Until he killed everyone in King Qin's Residence!”
It was obvious.
Li Xuan's implication was to tell Li Er that no one in King Qin's residence had died yet. He was deliberately creating an illusion to make Li Er reconsider his life.
"Understood!"
After receiving the note from the eunuch, Xue Wanche turned around and left the hall like the wind.
"Also, General Zhao!"
Li Xuan asked," Have you completed the selection of troops from the army?" Did you encounter any obstacles?"
"Your Majesty, I've already selected 500 people and am currently training them. I haven't encountered any obstacles.”Zhao Zilong cupped his fists.
"Good!"
Li Xuan nodded in relief and looked at the court. Li Jing had led the army to pursue the remnants of the Turks who were struggling at death's door yesterday and had yet to return. He was truly stubborn.
However, this was indeed in line with Li Jing in history, the famous God of War.
"General Zhao, from today onwards, I will set up a new organization called the Embroidered Uniform Guards. I will be directly in charge of the transfer order. You will be the first military governor of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!”
Currently, apart from the military, only Zhao Zilong and Li Yuanba could be trusted in the royal court. With that said, Li Xuan stood up and said solemnly,""The so-called Brocade Guard is in charge of the Tang Empire's military intelligence agency. It has branches in various places and can be carried out in secret. It has the duty to investigate all officials or relatives of the emperor. At the same time, I give you the right to act first before reporting.”
"I will obey!"
Zhao Zilong was expressionless. He seemed to know that he only needed to be loyal and nothing else mattered to him.
" The Jinyiwei organization is set up in Chang 'an and you are in charge of it. After Shangshu Province implements the national policy, the first task is to supervise the implementation of the national policy. If someone is bent on favoritism, the Jinyiwei can investigate immediately.”
Li Xuan's words were sonorous and forceful as the entire court fell silent.
Jinyiwei?
This was an organization that they had never heard of before. Its power could be said to be below one person and above all the people. This group of people was completely dumbfounded.
This morning, Li Xuan had successively announced many reform measures, almost overturning everything. Now, he really wanted to reorganize the court and govern the world.
There had never been a small matter regarding national policies since ancient times.
The old officials present were trembling in fear. However, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's heads had just been taken not long ago, and Zhangsun Wuji's family had been exterminated. They might not be afraid of death, but there were not many who were not worried about their own families.
He was afraid.
This was the effect Li Xuan wanted. With military power in his hands, he could force this group of scholar-bureaucrats to reform. Otherwise, everything would be nonsense.
