New year.
In the East Palace, Cheng Qian invited his brothers for several years to dinner, and Taishi Li Chao was also invited.
After the meal, the young princes retreated, leaving only Li Ke, Li Tai, and Li You.
Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was taken by the queen three years ago because he was too young, and now he is still in Dengzhou, the eastern capital.
The meal was withdrawn, and the palace people brought refreshments.
Cheng Qian personally poured tea for his three brothers, "After the New Year, you will all be fifteen, and Brother Ke will be sixteen soon." ” Li Tai, who was still chubby, seemed to guess what Cheng Qian was going to say, "Prince, I haven't reached fifteen yet, and I'm a few months away." ” The hot tea steam rises, and there is a smile on the face of Cheng Qian behind the water vapor.
"After a year, one year longer.
You were fourteen last year, and you will naturally be fifteen after the New Year.
According to my Tang system, the fifteenth kingdom of the prince is a vassal, and this year has passed.
Lone has decided that in a few days, he will send troops to escort your kingdom to the domain.
Brother Ke and Brother You's mothers will also go to the fiefdom with you, you can rest assured that the imperial court has been operating in Lingbei for three years, and now it is very safe there.
Your fiefdoms are all fertile places chosen by His Majesty himself, and it will be very good when you get there. ” Li Tai opened his mouth, "Does Your Majesty know about this matter?"
"Lonely will play Your Majesty."
When Li Tai heard this, his eyes rolled, "It's freezing now, it's better to wait until the spring flowers bloom before setting off." ” "I've changed my mind, you'll leave tomorrow."
Li Tai was stunned.
Li Chao said beside him, "Your Highnesses, rest assured, the military town castle of your fiefdom has been built, and there are also garrisons of the imperial court there, so it is safe to go there." ” Li Ke and Li You didn't say anything, but Li Tai was very unwilling with his cheeks puffed out.
"Okay, you guys retreat, go back and clean up, and tomorrow Lone will send troops to protect your country."
Waiting for the three princes to reluctantly retreat, Li Chao smiled and said to Cheng Qian, "You are in a bit of a hurry to do this." ” Cheng Qian didn't care, "It's a little annoying to see the three of them, Qin Wangtai goes to make friends with ministers and scholars all day long in the name of studying."
And Wang Ke in Hanzhong also made friends with the children of Xun Qi everywhere, as for Li You, he didn't have so many ambitions, but he did mischief in Hanjing, and often made chickens and dogs jump.
Of the three, I don't want to see them stay in Hanjing. ” "But if I don't report this matter to Your Majesty first, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be unhappy."
"Lone also acts according to the Tang system, the country of the fifteenth prince, this is the national system."
Li Chao knows the prince's thoughts.
The prince is getting bigger and bigger, and he is also beginning to have his own ideas.
It's just that he was too eager, in the past three years, the emperor was not in Beijing, and with his help, Cheng Qian had really mastered the Han Jing and stayed in the imperial court.
In Hanjing, Cheng Qianti appointed a large number of officials, and it can be regarded as a real princeling.
Because the emperor did not return to the dynasty for a long time, Li Chao suggested to the emperor last year that he imitate the imperial court system in Hanjing and create a new set of left-behind officials.
This set of left-behind officials is actually imitating the Nanjing left-behind court of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, setting up one of the three provinces and six ministries.
Li Chao's proposal was agreed to by Li Shimin.
As a result, there is now a court in Dengzhou, Tokyo, and Hanjing has a set of left-behind courts.
Tokyo has three provinces and six departments, and Hankyo also has three provinces and six departments.
It's just that Hanjing doesn't have three courts.
Hanjing has Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and six departments have temple supervisors, but there are no orders in the three provinces.
Moreover, these officials in Hanjing have added a word left in front of them, such as the Shangshu of the Hanjing Left-behind Military Department, the Shangshu of the Hanjing Left-behind Officials, etc.
Because during the war, now the two courts are considered to be one east and one west, each in charge of half.
The Tokyo Imperial Court now governs Hebei, Huaibei, Huainan, Jiangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Liaoxi and other provinces.
The Han Jing court was in charge of Hedong, Guannei, Shuofang, Longyoushan, Nanhu, Hunan, Lingnan, Qianzhong, Bashu and the Western Regions.
Some major military affairs should also be reported to the Tokyo Imperial Court for review.
Nominally, the various ministries of Hankyo were also subordinate to the imperial court ministries in Tokyo.
The Hanjing Imperial Court was somewhat similar to the various Daxingtai at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, Daxingtai also had various ministries such as the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, which was regarded as the general manager.
The prince always wants to have his own group of people, but in fact, his people are basically Li Chao's people, but the prince doesn't know it yet.
Li Chao knew that the prince's impatience was actually very bad on Li Shimin's side, but Li Chao only persuaded him every time.
There are some things that it is useless for him to persuade more, the prince is his student, but he will not completely listen to him, especially now that the prince is getting older and older.
In the past few years, there has been no emperor to control him, and the prince has become more and more fluttery.
However, what surprised Li Chao was that for three years, no matter what the prince did, the emperor had been patient and had not taught the prince a lesson.
Perhaps, we will have to wait until the emperor returns, and then we will settle the general account.

The crown prince supervised the country for three years, and Li Chao was the first assistant for three years.
In the past three years, Li Chao's prestige in this small court has also become higher and higher.
As the first assistant, the prince is young, and many things are almost all made by Li Chao, and Yang Gongren has been sick at home for three years.
Liu Hongji and Du Yan are in the middle of the court, and they can't be compared with Li Chao at all.
Originally, there was the so-called Li Party in the DPRK and the Central Committee, and in the past three years, Li Chao has taken the opportunity to install a large number of people in various ministries.
Li Chao has been the chief examiner of the imperial examination for several terms, both the chief examiner before the reform, and the two chief examiners after the reform are also him, and the two subjects of the imperial court are a thousand jinshi, although they are all protégés of the Son of Heaven, they are also Li Chao's protégés.
"Teacher, this year's exam is about to start again, and I have to work harder, teacher."
The twelfth year of Zhenguan is another year of the big competition.
In the old imperial examination, there was one subject a year, but the number of people admitted was very small, especially the Jinshi department.
And now that the new imperial examination has been held for the third time, it is held every three years, and the Jinshi Department has become the only regular subject of the imperial examination, and each session has been valued more than the other.
Although the emperor was in Tokyo, the imperial examination was still held in Hanjing.
At the end of last year, more than 10,000 people poured into Hanjing.
Among them, there were 5,000 people who took the exam, and there were also many people who came to visit and meet the friends.
This year's general examination will still be presided over by Li Chao, and the palace examination will be presided over by the crown prince Chengqian. is about to preside over the palace examination for the first time, and Cheng Qian is also very excited to look forward to it.
After the implementation of the new official system and the imperial examination system, the number of economic officials in the Tang Dynasty has increased significantly, and most of them are served by scholars from the imperial examination, as well as some experienced old officials.
A large number of old officials have been eliminated, and the efficiency of the central and local government offices has been greatly improved.
At present, the triennial imperial examination and the annual civil service examination have firmly controlled the class of officials in the hands of the imperial court.
Gone are the days when the localities were powerful and the landlords controlled the rule of the local officials.
Although there is now a new official system approved by the imperial history, the number of officials has increased significantly, and there are disadvantages of redundant officials.
But in fact, everyone who understands knows that in the past, although the number of officials on the quota was small, in fact there were many people, and a large number of non-economic officials, although they did not use the salaries of the imperial court, but these people relied on local commissions and corruption in various names, which increased the burden on the people and made the officials corrupt.
Nowadays, the imperial court has increased the number of economic officials, and it seems that the number of court officials has increased and the expenditure has increased, but it has also reduced the various local commissions and the problem of corruption.
However, the imperial court did not levy more taxes on the people, and the burden of the people was much lighter than in the past, and the rule of officials was much clearer.
As for the excessive expenditure of the imperial court, it was through the increase in taxes on industry and commerce, and on the whole, it was much better than the laissez-faire situation in the past.
The number of officials in Datang today is very large, especially the officials.
Now Datang has a province, a state capital, a county, a township, a four-level local administrative organization, in the past, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, the imperial court directly governed the state, but now there is a road in the state, and there are townships under the county.
Not only have there been more yamen, but the number of officials has increased greatly.
In the past, a county only had a few officials, such as commanders, chengs, bookkeepers, lieutenants, and school officials, and there were only a few establishment officials.
Now, there are at least two or three hundred officials in a county.
However, in recent years, Li Chao has also presided over the imperial court to streamline prefectures and counties, a large number of prefectures and counties have been abolished and merged, and the number of prefectures and counties has been greatly reduced, a prefecture must have at least eight counties, and a county must have at least a population of more than 50,000.
Failure to meet this minimum standard will result in the abandonment of the merger.
Now Datang has more than 30 provinces, more than 300 prefectures, and more than 1,000 counties.
Compared with the early Tang Dynasty, the territory has expanded a lot, but the number of prefectures and counties has decreased a lot.
At present, there are many newly recruited officials every year, and many officials are promoted to officials, but in the same way, a large number of officials are eliminated and dismissed every year, and many officials are also removed from their posts.
The officials of the Tang Dynasty are not iron rice bowls now, and they can't be assessed, so they can either be demoted or exempted.
Even if he is a Jinshi, he can not be assessed, whether he should be reduced or reduced, whether he should be exempted or exempted.
It's just that even if they are exempted, they can still take the official exam and start from the official level.
Li Chao is now the first assistant of Hanjing, the prime minister of the imperial court, and he is in charge of the affairs of the three provinces and six ministries.
Liu Hongji, the auxiliary minister, is in charge of the soldiers of Hanjing, and Du Yan is the imperial historian, and he is in charge of the imperial historian.
Therefore, the specific affairs of the imperial court are actually handled by Li Chao and the left-behind ministers of the three provinces and six ministries.
As the prince of the prison state, Cheng Qian's recitals presented to him have all been approved by Li Chao and the others, and the recitals have already made the disposition results, and Cheng Qian only needs to make a yes or no disposition of Li Chao's disposition results.
This is similar to the Ming Dynasty's yellowing, Li Chao and the ministers disposed of the chapter, gave disposal opinions, wrote on a piece of yellow paper, and then pasted it on the chapter, and then gave it to the prince for reference.
But even so, there are incomparably many recitals left behind in the imperial court.
Even if Cheng Qian stared at those pieces all day long, he couldn't finish reading them.
In the end, Cheng Qian still asked Li Chao to help him.
Generally, after the court, Cheng Qian left Li Chaoyu in the study to help him review the chapters.

Cheng Qian chose some Hanlin bachelors to read aloud and paste yellow, and then waited for Cheng Qian and Li Chao to discuss a decision, and then added Hanlin bachelors to approve the red on his behalf.
But in the final analysis, it was Li Chao who gave the yellow sticker, and it was Li Chao who was the last to be red. t1706231537:
