Chapter 1260: Abdication (1)


The climate in Xinjing is cold in the middle of winter.

Most of the winter is covered by ice and snow, and the weather is gloomy.

Although the sun shines brightly at other times, it still cannot melt the ice and snow.

At this time, the climate in the Ice Palace is like spring and the flowers are blooming.

The design and manufacture of this palace can be said to have applied geography and airflow to the extreme.

Here, it is truly warm in winter and cool in summer.

Today is already the first day of the twelfth lunar month in 780 AD, and the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in less than a month.

Turn over the new year and it will be 781.

This year is destined to not be a square year, because Zhao Ziliang happened to be sixty years old this year. , according to the rules he made long ago, the king of Western Qin from him onwards must abdicate when he reaches sixty.

In three months, he will be sixty years old on February 16th next year. birthday.

Today was originally the day for the imperial meeting, but considering that the Ice Palace was far away from the royal palace and the weather was cold, he ordered that only the chief and deputy ministers of the palaces, courts, ministries and yamen in the royal court go to the Ice Palace to discuss matters, and other officials did not have to go to court.

There are twenty or thirty ministers and deputy ministers from various government agencies, ministries and yamen in total.

At this time, they are standing quietly on both sides of the hall.

Zhao Ziliang is reading the last memorial on the imperial case, approving the red, closing it and putting it aside. , raised his head and said: "We are convening here today.

The ministers and ministers have three main things: First, I want to hear a detailed report on how the cold and disaster prevention matters in various parts of the north are going; second, the Chinese New Year will be coming in one month, and the royal court, various houses, and ministries and yamen should communicate with each other.

A detailed summary of this year’s administrative priorities must be made Summary of gains and losses; secondly, regarding next year's financial budget, these two will hear the report at the next court meeting.

Thirdly, tomorrow February 16th is my 60th birthday, and it is only two and a half months since the founding of the West.

When Qin came, he never used the kingdom's wealth.

Li Da celebrates his birthday.

This time, we are not planning to spend any money from the people.

The royal family will pay for it.

It will be held at the same time as the abdication ceremony and the new king's enthronement ceremony.

We will discuss related matters later.

Now let's talk about the first thing.

Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council, you Who comes first?”

Dugu Wensu stood up and held up the fluorene board and said: "Your Majesty, the cold wave this winter is coming very quickly and violently.

Large-scale snow disasters have occurred in various parts of the north.

The common people, officials and people have been severely affected, and people, livestock and houses have suffered great losses.

The Government Affairs Council has received reports of snow disasters from various parts of the north.

So far, a total of 39 snow disasters have occurred.

The largest disaster was in Kimak City.

In the Shihe River Basin of Yeer, northeast of the Protectorate, as the cold current continues to rage and the scale of the disaster is still expanding, it is temporarily impossible to calculate the specific losses.

The smallest scale is in the Khazar Protectorate.

The cold current recedes quickly.

At present, the local Protectorate Both the government and the garrison have sent troops to provide disaster relief.

The main thing that is hindering and delaying the disaster relief process is that the roads leading to the disaster areas are blocked by ice and snow.

Due to the freezing weather, carriages loaded with relief supplies are prone to skidding and overturning.

They can only be transported by horses and donkeys, but the speed is too slow.

At present, the Government Council has ordered local officials to prepare more sleds and use dog sleds to transport relief supplies to affected areas.

The latest statistics on damage reports show that we have lost at least 230 million gold dollars, and if the disaster continues, there may be more.

Expanded, the Government Council has currently used emergency disaster relief reserve funds.

In view of the poor communication between the Royal Court and various local governments due to weather and roads, the inability to deliver government orders in time, and the need for encouragement and support from officials and civilians in various places fighting the disaster, Weichen wanted to personally.

I am going to various places to direct disaster relief.

I would like to ask for leave from your Majesty.

The affairs of the Government Affairs Council will be presided over by the Deputy Prime Minister Liu Shan for the time being."

Before Zhao Ziliang agreed, Liu Dan stood up and held up the fluorene board and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Dugu is sixty-seven this year.

He is already old and will retire in two years.

Moreover, the climate of the disaster-stricken places is cold and the roads are too cold."

The situation is not smooth and the situation is complicated.

Wei Chen thinks that it is better to let Lord Dugu stay in Xinjing.

Wei Chen will replace Lord Dugu and go to the front line to direct the disaster relief.

He will encourage and comfort the victims and the rescue officers and soldiers on behalf of the King and the Royal Court.

Please allow your permission."

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Dugu Wensao: "Dugu Wensao, what Liu Dan said is not unreasonable.

You should stay in Xinjing to handle government affairs, and leave it to Liu Dan to go to the front line of the disaster."

When Dugu Wensu saw what Zhao Ziliang said, he had no choice but to agree.

Next, the heads of each house, government and department will stand up to summarize this year's policy measures, implementation, achievements and mistakes, and submit next year's fiscal budget.

The entire reporting process continued until noon.

It continued after lunch, and all reports were completed around the afternoon.

"Okay, it's getting late.

Now let's talk about the last thing, which is that in two and a half months, my king's sixtieth birthday, the abdication ceremony, and the new king's coronation ceremony will be held at the same time.

These three things have been decided by the palace.

Da Neifu, Taichang Temple, The Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple hosted the birthday banquet respectively.

The Imperial Palace and Taichang Temple hosted the birthday banquet.

The Ministry of Rites hosted the abdication ceremony.

Zongzheng Temple hosted the enthronement ceremony of the new king.

They were conducted in sequence.

During this period, for a total of three days, the various armies of the Imperial Guards of Xinjing hosted the ceremony.

Perform his duties and be responsible for the palace In terms of security affairs inside and outside the city, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for tracking down spies, spies and traitors.

From now on, other relevant yamen and government yamen across the country must also take urgent action.

Criminal and public security cases must be resolutely cracked down and handled strictly and quickly.

Some places on the market that affect public security and are easy for spies to hide and hide evil will be closed for rectification.

Whoever has a problem within the scope of his duties will be held accountable.

All volunteer troops and standing garrisons in the country will end their vacations. , always on call” Zhao Ziliang's words couldn't be more clear.

There is still one month until the Chinese New Year, and two and a half months until Zhao Ziliang abdicates and the new king ascends the throne.

Within at least three months, the entire Western Qin Dynasty, including Persia, the Middle East and the Dashi Peninsula, will carry out severe crackdowns.

Guangzhou is unprecedented since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

All the ministers present understood that this was the last time before Zhao Ziliang abdicated the throne to deter lawbreakers and disobedient people in the world, and to clear obstacles for the new king to ascend the throne on a large scale.

Some people may cause trouble at this time, but as long as they dare If you show up, you will definitely be suppressed with ruthless blood.

Zhao Ziliang continued: "In addition, Chuan Gu's decree ordered the border garrison troops to be on high alert.

Although it is the middle of winter and the weather is cold, the patrol and warning tasks in the border areas cannot be neglected.

Once the enemy's situation is discovered, decisive measures must be taken immediately Respond and give the enemy a powerful counterattack."

After waiting for the edict, Hanlin immediately stood up and agreed, and quickly began to draft the edict.

Zhao Ziliang looked at the two eldest sons standing in front and said, "Zhao Lei, you will ascend the throne in a few months.

From now on, state affairs will be left to you to handle.

The secretary will send the memorial to the Prince's Mansion starting tomorrow. , after the review is completed by the Prince's Mansion, send it to Gu here."

Zhao Lei and Dugujun stood up and agreed with their hands raised: "I obey the order."

"After Gu abdicated and the prince ascended the throne as the new king, all the military and political affairs of the country were handed over to the new king, and Gu was no longer in charge of specific affairs.

In order to maintain the smooth transition of the royal power and maintain local peace throughout the country, the chief officials of the royal courts, houses, and ministries And the appointment and dismissal of the commanders of the military corps must be approved by Gu."

After Zhao Ziliang abdicates, there must not be two men in the palace.

Therefore, Zhao Ziliang must move out of the palace, but he has not said where exactly he will live.

However, the ministers had to consider this matter.

The Minister of Rites stood up and cupped his hands and said: "I don't know where the king will live after he abdicates.

I am waiting for you."

It's easy to arrange, If the king has something he likes, please issue an edict, and the ministers will start preparations immediately.

If there is something he likes but the palace has not been built, the Ministry of Rites will pay for it and the Ministry of Works will undertake the construction.

Maximum manpower and material resources will be used before the king abdicates.

It’s not difficult to finish the job.”

The Minister of Industry immediately stood up and echoed: "I second the proposal."

Other ministers also stood up and seconded their opinions.

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter.

After Gu abdicates, he will go to Chang'an to inspect military and political affairs.

It is still unknown when he will return to Xinjing.

Several of Gu's princesses are still healthy and willing to go to Chang'an with Gu.

I will go to Chang'an with Gu.

If my health does not allow, I will stay in Xinjing temporarily and live in this Ice Palace.

A few years ago, I ordered people to build the Holy Mountain Castle on the Holy Mountain of Syria.

I will retire there in the future. " "Okay, that's all for today.

If there is nothing else, please go back first.

The two brothers Zhao Lei and Zhao Ting will stay here."

"I'll take my leave."

The ministers quickly exited the hall.

Only Zhao Ziliang and his son were left in the hall.

Zhao Ziliang stood up and walked down from the throne and said to Zhao Lei: "It is so happy to be the king and hold the power of the world.

But when you are high-spirited, it is also the time to bear great responsibilities.

Zhao Lei Ah, don’t think that as a king you can do whatever you want.

Everything should be done with the common people in mind.

The world is even better than You are more important.

What the world needs is a capable king.

If you don't have diamonds, don't take the porcelain job.

You must understand that you are not made king for pleasure, and you are not allowed to squander and use power as early as ten years ago.

I asked you brothers Zhao Lei a few years ago what the responsibilities of a king are, tell me your answer today, what is your answer?"

Zhao Lei said seriously: "I believe that a king should be able to protect his people, protect his country from foreign enemies, and make his people live a prosperous, healthy and better life.

A king should have the ability to develop and develop.

An enterprising spirit, one cannot be addicted to external things, one cannot rest on the merits of his ancestors and the past without thinking about progress.

A king should be able to balance internal forces and be able to promptly detect the obsolescence of rules and systems that appear with the development of the times. shortcomings and omissions and having the courage to innovate vigorously.”

"Yes, your answer is quite satisfactory to me":
