Pei An was trembling and wanted to kneel down. Gao Buyi quickly said: "Master Pei, without courtesy, I will give you a seat." He motioned to Chen Xuan to help him.
As soon as Pei An sat down, he saw Huangmen coming to report: "Your Majesty, your right minister Li Linfu and the imperial censor Yang Guozhong would like to see you."
These two people arrived so quickly. Gao Buyi glanced at Lux standing aside again. How did he become the chief steward of the palace? But looking back, he couldn't be blamed for it. It was all caused by his partial belief. Lux's There is no doubt about his loyalty, but he is too involved in some matters, and it seems that he cannot be allowed to stay in the palace any longer.
"Let them wait outside."
Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong felt a thump in their hearts when they heard that the emperor asked them to wait outside.
Although the two people had always been at odds with each other, when they heard that the emperor had reinstated Pei Anguan and summoned Huangfu Weiming, they were shocked. This was such a shocking news that they hurried to the Xuanzheng Palace to see the emperor.
Gao Buyi then said to Pei An: "Pei Qing, you blamed me for being ignorant and causing Aiqing to suffer."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! This little hardship is nothing to me. Fortunately, our Emperor is wise. You must take care of your dragon body."
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Gao Buyi didn't lie. At this time, he looked a bit old on the outside, but mentally he still looked like he was twenty-four or five years old.
Pei An smiled and nodded, saying that it was a blessing in the world!
Gao Buyi said with a smile: "We are still celebrating the New Year at this time, so I have to trouble you all. I am really afraid that the nights will be long and the dreams will be too much, and the warriors -"
"exist!--"
"Has the imperial edict to reinstate Lord Pei and become prime minister been issued?"
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen the report coming in from Zhongshu Province yet."
"These people are working hard, giving Pei Qing a seat and the four treasures of the study."
The warrior took the order and when Pei An thanked him and sat down, Gao Buyi said: "A few days ago, I was bewitched by the traitor's words and wronged Ai Qing and others. Today I will re-activate all Ai Qing and make a clear edict to the world. , to put things in perspective.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Happiness came suddenly, Huangfu Weiming didn't expect it.
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace. Your Majesty can pardon my sins. I have already suffered a thousand deaths and I really don't dare to receive any more rewards. Moreover, changing orders day and night will damage the emperor's power. I hope your Majesty will think twice." Pei An also knelt down on the ground again. .
Look, this is a loyal minister. He didn’t hold any grudges when he was wronged, and he still wanted to maintain the emperor’s authority. If you don’t need such a minister, who should you use?
"If Pei Qing says this, don't you forgive me? Why don't I send an edict of sin to the world to comfort my old love?"
"I'm scared. I can't bear it. Please forgive me!" Pei An trembled and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Okay, all of you, get up. I'm telling you, Lord Pei, if you can help me write it, we can write the first edict of the new year."
"yes!"
"This first edict has four meanings. The first is to restore Ai Qing's former official position and hold various positions. At the same time, he will be promoted to the title of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Tong Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhangshi, ranking behind the left prime minister Li Shizhi. Third: Appoint Huangfu Weiming as the governor of Hexi Province and grant him the title of Minister of War."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Huangfu Weiming knelt down to thank God for his grace.
"Get up, I haven't finished speaking yet. All the ministers who were previously involved with the prince will be exempted from guilt and will stay at home. The prince will attend court with me starting from the first court meeting this year."
Although Gao Buyi really wanted to eradicate Li Linfu's power in one fell swoop, he could not freeze three feet in a day. If forced to do so, the empire would immediately fall into chaos. This was inconsistent with his original intention, so he could only try to do it slowly; and don't look at Li Linfu. He couldn't do serious business, but in his impression, that guy was a good money maker, and Yang Guozhong. Money was needed for the development of the empire, so keeping these two people would still be useful.
Seeing that Pei An had written it well, Gao Buyi was very satisfied. He was worthy of being a prime minister. His handwriting was as good as printed calligraphy. It was really hard to show off his bad handwriting and make him look embarrassed. Otherwise, he would have done it himself. He wrote it himself, but the key point is that he didn't know the format of the ancient imperial edict.
After praising Pei An, Gao Buyi continued: "The second thing is that starting from this year, there will be a truce at the border and the people will recuperate and recuperate. Taxation will return to the level at the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. In the ongoing war, the border guard will be secretly ordered for three months. It's all over, regardless of victory or defeat, just strengthen border preparations, unless the enemy takes the initiative to attack, ignore small-scale provocations, and keep stability as the general tone."
Hearing this, everyone in the Xuanzheng Hall was in disbelief. Historical records show that after Xuanzong ascended the throne as emperor, he used military force almost every year. During the Tianbao period, he became obsessed with martial arts and wars became more frequent. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty The foundation is strong enough for him to struggle with, but the Tang Empire, which seems to be prosperous now, is already in crisis, and the people are in urgent need of recuperation.
No one dared to mention this matter before because the government was in the hands of Li Linfu. This guy blindly catered to Xuanzong. Xuanzong would not notice his different opinions and was easily framed by Li Linfu. Now the emperor suddenly ordered that everyone I shouted in my heart, God opens my eyes.
Gao Buyi smiled and said, "Ai Qing seems unbelievable?"
Let’s not talk about other places, let’s talk about why Nanzhao in the south is constantly fighting against the Tang Dynasty. It’s because Zhang Qiantuo, the governor of Yunnan County, harassed the princess of Nanzhao. As a result, he complained first, and through Yang Guozhong Guan Guan falsely accused Nanzhao of rebellion, and then sent a large army there. As a result, no benefits were gained at all, and the troops were lost. Due to Yang Guifei's face, no one dared to bring this matter up.
After being stunned for a long time, Pei An only said: "I congratulate Your Majesty!"
"Quickly please get up. The third brother and sister of the Yang family are deposed from all their privileges. They are not allowed to enter the palace unless they are ordered to do so. At the same time, they reiterate that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. All high-ranking officials and nobles should reduce their banquets and think more about progress. After the spring of this year, Let the world's most talented people come to Beijing for interviews and recruit good talents. This matter is left to Aiqing. You must make preparations and handle it well in advance. There is no need to write it down in this imperial edict and discuss it later."
Hearing this, the powerful man and all the eunuchs and concubines in the palace knelt down with a plop, which almost scared them to the point of peeing.
Bah! The brush in Pei An's hand suddenly fell to the ground. This was even more surprising than hearing the sow climb up the tree. As a celebrity around the emperor, Lishi was as powerful as Concubine Yang. A few years ago, I heard that the emperor was planning to To make him a general, this style of painting became a bit too fast.
The reason why Gao Buyi dared to make such a drastic move was because he knew the loyalty of the warriors. In addition, the Yang Guozhong brothers and sisters had not yet reached the peak of power, so they were easy to handle. As for Li Linfu, he could not move for the time being.
Pei An knelt on the ground in fear: "I am in disgrace, Your Majesty, forgive me!"
"It doesn't matter, my dear, please get up. The fourth thing is that all officials who have been appointed as the Jiedushi of a town should immediately leave Chang'an and return to the treatment center. The sick will be carried away without delay for three days for any reason. All must leave the capital within 12 days, and those who disobey the order will be dismissed from office and seize titles! At the same time, Yang Guozhong will be dismissed from his posts as Minister of Civil Affairs and Jiannan Jiedushi, and King Ying Li Yao will be appointed as Jiannan Jiedushi and Lingnan Economic and Strategic Envoy, and Xian Yu Zhongtong will be transferred to him. Deputy Envoy of Lingnan Economic Strategy."
Lux's heart skipped a beat: "This is obviously targeting the Yang brothers and sisters? In this way, it is equivalent to breaking Yang Guozhong's right and left arm."
