After a year, high-end places such as the Inner Ring Road, the Second Ring Road, and the Third Ring Road were surrounded by wealthy people and ordinary people watching the excitement. On the Fourth Ring Road, the Fifth Ring Road, and other areas near the city wall of Datang Evernight City, These places are just small shops and venues for folk theater performances.
The performances in these places are more down-to-earth, and they also interact more with the people, and the people are more willing to watch them.
After all, the nobles will not come to these places, and they are also enjoying the excitement and fun! Importantly, the fees are not expensive!
Standing in the same place last year, Li Shimin was more emotional than Li Ke. Chang'an has become more and more prosperous. Needless to say, whose credit is it for all this?
It is different from last year. Last year, Datang Evernight City had just opened and the crowds were concentrated in the center. Most people were not familiar with it and did not dare to play anywhere. But this year, almost every corner of the entire Evernight City is full of people.
Many people who have been busy for a year are also willing to visit Datang Evernight City today, which makes the entire Tang Dynasty Evernight City indescribably prosperous!
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the first court meeting occurred in the twenty-third year of the Tang Dynasty.
Today's court meeting is destined to be different, because there are many people coming.
Especially some of the clans that had been idle in the past came today, and they came very neatly.
After the court meeting was held, Li Shimin sat on it and said, "I think the people who came today are relatively neat. Qi Lang, you are all here today. Is there anything you can do?"
All the ministers remained silent. Today's situation seems to be that of the Tang Dynasty clan, but they don't know what the situation is.
It was impossible to spread the news about the Ancestral Temple. It was impossible for the people involved that day to tell about it, and it was impossible for Li Ke to tell it, and it was even less possible for Li Shimin and Chang Lin to tell it. As for the guards, they were more strict with their mouths.
"Your Majesty, I have a decree to start the memorial." King Jing Li Yuanjing stood up. Among the people that day, Li Yuanjing was the oldest. It was natural that he stood up to start the memorial at this time, and the memorial in his hand was also the memorial of that day. Handled by people.
"Say." Li Shimin nodded.
"Your Majesty, my brother Li Yuanjingming feels that it is not easy for the Tang Dynasty. Since I was born, I have never made any contribution to the Tang Dynasty. Although I am a member of the Tang Dynasty clan, I should set an example as a Tang Dynasty clan member. Set an example for the people of the world."
"As a royal family of the Tang Dynasty, since we enjoy the support of the people of the Tang Dynasty, we should naturally assume our due responsibilities and put others first in everything. But now, my younger brother and others have not made any contribution, but instead lead the most important people of the Tang Dynasty. The top honor, Wang Jue."
"Looking up and down the court, all the princes and princes have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Compared with them, I feel really ashamed. Therefore, I am offering sacrifices to my ancestors in the Ancestral Temple. The ancestors, to show their ambitions. My brothers and I are willing to resign all the titles that we have previously granted, and with a clean body, we will charge forward for the Tang Dynasty from the beginning with many new scholars of the Tang Dynasty."
"My brother, I am willing to set an example for the world, and I hope that the titles I have been granted can match my merits. If I behave like this and do nothing, I will be indifferent to everyone, then I will be inactive and indifferent to everyone."
"I hope your majesty will approve it! This memorial has a total of thirty-three signatures from my brothers."
Li Yuanjing presented the memorial with both hands and bent down to salute.
"Your Majesty, I also signed the Seventh Uncle Memorial. I voluntarily give up all inheritance rights to my father's title and are willing to fight for the Tang Dynasty with our own efforts." Li Chongyi and others Wang Erdai also stood up directly.
Following Li Chongyi's actions, a total of more than thirty clan members in the court stood up almost at the same time, bowed and saluted loudly: "I am waiting for your majesty's permission."
Above the court, all the ministers were stunned.
There is only one thought in everyone's mind, is the entire Tang clan crazy? Resign? Resign all titles? Not just Wang Jue? ! This...do you know what you are doing?
This right to give up is not just a tiny bit.
This is even more cruel than Cheng Yaojin's, because to a certain extent, Cheng Yaojin was a foreign minister, not a member of the royal family, but now these are all members of the clan, and are all brothers of His Majesty.
They gave up too much.
The key point is that if they just submit a memorial, there is still room for maneuver. Just like Cheng Yaojin, the three provinces have to go through discussions before finally becoming an edict.
And what are these clans doing now? They came here directly after worshiping at the Ancestral Temple. In other words, they had already told the ancestors of the Tang royal family.
From a certain point of view, this was an internal matter of the Tang royal family. The three provinces no longer had jurisdiction over it, and from a certain point of view, the emperor Li Shimin could not object.
Is it possible that as an emperor, he has to openly oppose his ancestors? Although the ancestors were said to have died long ago, they only paid tribute.
But... this is really cruel! These clans...are they really willing to give up these rights? At least 90% of the ministers in the entire court couldn't figure it out.
Even people like Fang Xuanling looked shocked, let alone others?
Li Ke's face was calm. He had already decided that when he went back today, he would ask Datang Trust to distribute the monthly share to everyone plus 20% each month.
Looking at the more than 30 people below who were bending down to salute, Li Shimin couldn't tell what kind of emotion he was feeling. To be honest with these brothers, Li Shimin had a headache for them, and Li Shimin and them... to be honest, there was no emotion at all.
That is to say, we are somewhat familiar with Li Yuanjing and Li Yuanchang, but the younger ones can't speak to each other more than a few times a year.
When Li Ke went to talk to them, Li Shimin knew it, and he did guess that it was related to the title. But what Li Shimin thought was that what Li Ke talked about should be the same as Cheng Yaojin, making them give up their hereditary title, and also This means that their son will only have the most basic title in the future.
But what he never expected was that his brothers would resign all their titles and start from scratch!
At this moment... To be honest, Li Shimin suddenly felt very relieved. After all... they were also his brothers! Although the age difference between these younger brothers is quite big, Li Shimin feels like he is raising a son.
Now Li Shimin has a feeling that his cub has finally grown up and become sensible.
"Okay!" After a long time, Li Shimin stood up from his dragon chair and said "good" loudly. He was somewhat excited. Since his brothers can do this, he, Li Shimin, can still treat him badly. Can't they?
"As expected of me, the son of the Li family! As expected of me, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty! Even with your courage and your courage, as an imperial brother, I cannot refuse your affection!"
"But don't worry, even if you give up all your titles, the emperor will not let you starve to death if you have a mouthful of food from the emperor! I, the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, rose up in troubled times, and I have to obtain this country of the Tang Dynasty for the people of the world. Since You have such courage! Then let’s let the people of the world see the courage of our Imperial Family of the Tang Dynasty!”
"I agree to your request! After today, you should study hard. If you have practical experience in governance, I will let the three provinces arrange positions for you so that you can show your ambitions!"
"Wei Zheng."
"I'm here!"
"Draft an edict to comply with their wishes and revoke all their titles, including Li Tai, Li You, Li Min, Li Yun, Li Zhen, Li Zhi, Li Shen, Li Fu, and Li Ming, in addition to the prince and King Qin. All titles! They will no longer be given titles until they make new contributions to the Tang Dynasty. From now on, when you see them every day, they will be ranked according to their age and be commensurate with the prince." Li Shimin said directly.
"Your Majesty!" Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were shocked.
Everyone else was also confused, and His Majesty also went crazy?
"No need to say more, I have made my decision!" Li Shimin said calmly, isn't it just a title? Do you think I dare not play?
