"Gentlemen, please stand up!" The little princess looked at the civil and military officials.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The little princess nodded slightly, and the eunuch next to her took out the imperial edict:
[The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered:
At a young age, I was entrusted with the mandate of heaven to succeed the throne and rule the world.
Since I ascended the throne, I have been committed to governing with benevolence and grace, bestowing blessings upon all people. I hereby issue a general amnesty. With the exception of the ten unpardonable crimes, all prisoners will have their sentences pardoned, allowing them to reform, return to their former lives, and resume their livelihoods.
And out of compassion for the people and to allow them to recuperate, I will exempt the whole country from taxes and labor service for one year, so that they can cultivate their fields diligently, commerce can flourish, families can have enough food and clothing, and share the blessing of peace.
My court needs talented people to help and develop the country.
Di Renjie is loyal, upright, wise, and talented enough to govern the country, so he is specially promoted to the position of Shangshu You Pushe, in charge of general affairs, in charge of the implementation of government orders, and supervising the diligence of officials. He should uphold justice, assist me in strengthening the government, and rectify the bureaucracy, so as to achieve great governance.
Chu Suiliang was a virtuous and upright man with outstanding literary talent and high moral prestige. He was granted the title of Shangshu Zuo Pushe, assisting in major government affairs, rectifying court ceremonies, proposing replacements, leading all officials to perform their duties, promoting the spirit of civil governance, ensuring the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty's systems, and consolidating the foundation of the country.
Zhang Sun Chong was a descendant of a loyal and upright official. He studied the criminal code and was proficient in legal affairs. He was appointed Minister of Justice and was in charge of state prison affairs...
Xue Rengui was a brave warrior, a skilled warrior, and a loyal servant. He was appointed the Grand General of the Jinwu Guard, commanding the imperial guards and protecting the capital.
The eunuch Wu Zhao, gentle and intelligent, has served the palace diligently and conscientiously. I now entrust her with the important position of eunuch, in charge of all matters of the inner court and providing for my daily needs...
Zhangsun Wuji has been a meritorious relative of successive dynasties. He has foresight and made great contributions to the country. I specially grant him the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, doubling his grace and honor. I allow him to establish a government and appoint subordinates, and hold the title of Yitong Sansi. I hope that he will use his wisdom as a veteran to offer strategies for governing the country, become my right-hand man, and ensure the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji were both brave heroes of the Tang Dynasty. They had experienced hundreds of battles and had made outstanding achievements. They were both granted the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi to honor their past achievements and show their great reputation. It was also expected that they would contribute their bravery and strategy in military and political affairs in the court, devote their wholehearted efforts to the country, protect the territory of our dynasty and the safety of the people, and spread the prestige of the Tang Dynasty far and wide.
....
】
Zhangsun Wuji, who should have been given the title of Yitong Sansi during the Zhenguan period, never did.
Now the little princess has made up for it.
Many people were rewarded and conferred titles at once.
As for Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi, there was really nothing to confer titles on them.
Li Shimin and Li Chengqian had already conferred titles, which made the little princess feel a little embarrassed because she had nothing to confer.
Xiao Ran's status was already similar to that of a prince, so if he was canonized again, it would really be an excess.
When everything is over, the others will disperse.
Only Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi were left in the Taiji Hall.
"Sizi, how is it?"
"Please address me as Your Majesty!" The little princess puffed out her chest, acting like an emperor.
"You little girl!" In Li Lizhi's heart, she is still the younger sister.
"Third sister, is it fun?" Doudou pulled the little princess and was very curious about the dragon robe on the little princess.
The little princess opened her arms and said, "Are you willing to bow down to me?"
Princess Yuzhang nodded, "Yes, he looks like an emperor now!"
"Sizi, do you still want to use Wu Zhao?" Li Lizhi was not very reassured. Li Lizhi did not deny that Wu Zhao was capable.
"Sister, I've already told you that when you call him Your Majesty, there's no such thing as a sizi!" the little princess repeated.
"Yes, yes, sister knows!"
The little princess was full of confidence. "Wu Zhao was able to succeed before because she had everything right, at the right time, in the right place, and with the right people. Now that we know all this, she has no chance."
"As for why I used her?" the little princess said with a smile, "I have also checked her history books. I have kept her by my side for the past few years. She is indeed reliable, decisive, resolute, and extremely efficient."
"She is a great help to my reform, and her methods are needed for the reform."
"If the reform succeeds, it's because I'm leading the way. If it fails and the people are angry, then she will be the one to appease them."
"There is no one more suitable than her in the court."
The little princess left many of Li Chengqian's people behind, such as Chu Suiliang and Xue Rengui, who could be reused.
The little princess's most trusted confidants are Di Renjie and Wu Zhao.
The other second-generation members were also promoted.
Li Chengqian's condition has temporarily stabilized, and Li Tai accompanies him every day, so the two brothers are not bored.
Now Li Chengqian can be considered the emperor emeritus.
The little princess became the third president of the Royal Academy.
The reforms that had been implemented previously were temporarily put on hold because of Li Chengqian's abdication.
The little princess asked Wu Zhao to prepare these things, and she left most of the work to Chu Suiliang and Di Renjie.
The few old ministers like Yan Liben are still there.
Many of the first batch of students in the kindergarten have entered North Korea.
Not only Di Renjie, but also Yan Liben's youngest daughter Yan Yao, Li Fu, and Li Ming can help now.
The little princess was surrounded by many people from the first class of kindergarten.
The little princess was a little lazy in governing the country when she first ascended the throne.
Many things were similar to what happened with Li Chengqian, and the Tang Dynasty continued to operate in an orderly manner.
Cheng Tiehuan, who had been trained in the army for a long time, still went against Cheng Yaojin's wishes and got the script of "Fan Lihua", becoming the second female general after Princess Pingyang Zhao.
The little princess's ascension to the throne gave many women opportunities.
Thanks to her relationship with the little princess, Qinglan became the number one maid in the palace.
The little princess spends a lot of time in Lizheng Palace, but she still likes to go to the manor.
The New Year's Eve of the second year of Shengwu was very lively, and the little princess increased the reward from the Children's Foundation a lot.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the little princess issued an edict to change the reign title to 'Feng Yi!'
The first year of Fengyi!
In front of the Children's Foundation are two statues, depicting the cute appearance of two little princesses when they were young.
Many children like to play here.
The statue was not made by the little princess, but was carved by many people who raised funds through crowdfunding.
The statue is very large, only slightly smaller than the ones of Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun in the square.
There are also statues in the Agricultural College, of Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi.
Xiao Ran felt very awkward and something was wrong. It was okay to have statues of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun since they were gone, but other people were still looking at his statue. It didn't feel right.
The manor was bustling with activity, with a group of people making dumplings and glutinous rice balls together.
Little Lizi became the little princess's follower.
Everyone else’s dumplings were the same size, but the little princess’s were bigger than the others.
I like to add more meat. After all these years, the little princess hasn’t changed much.
There was a happy atmosphere in the manor. Even though the little princess wore the dragon robe, her relationship with other people remained the same.
Doudou still likes to pick on the little princess as always, and is nicknamed "Little Green Bean".
The little princess's attitude towards Xiao Ran has not changed. She just likes to be close to Xiao Ran.
Li Lizhi and others have also gotten used to it.
I feel this is more intimate.
"Sister, have some oranges. They're very sweet." Qian Duoduo picked up the oranges and gave them to Xiao Lizi.
"You peel it first!" Little Lizi didn't take it.
"OK!"
Xiao Lizi took the orange and gave it to the little princess first, "Auntie San, you eat it!"
Qian Duoduo's family status is clear at a glance.
