Parliament, Upper House.
The House of Lords has been re-elected, and now one-third of the 365 senators have been replaced.
The people who were replaced were naturally the people of the regent Zhang Chaoxin.
This time, even the upper courts of each province have been re-elected, and the public reason is naturally for the sake of the law and constitutionalism, but in fact, everyone understands that this is a son of heaven and a courtier.
At least those rightists in the past will certainly not be able to stand in the upper house of the empire anymore.
The 365 senators of the Imperial House of Lords are also elected every five years, and can be re-elected for two consecutive terms, but one-third must be re-elected for each term.
Senators need to be bonus-figrated nobles who are not in the process of holding a substantive office and have already taken up the feudal position.
Almost all of the more than 300 senators are actual meritorious heroes above the earl, representing the major nobles.
At this time, everyone gathered together with the joy of entering the Imperial Upper House on their faces.
Although they are still senators of the Tang Dynasty, everyone knows in their hearts that after this re-election, they will be the chamber of the new dynasty.
Being able to enter the Upper House at this time also means that they have successfully entered the new dynasty of the empire and occupied a position in the new dynasty.
As the speaker of the House of Lords, Wei Zheng is very unaccustomed to the hustle and bustle of these people.
Pick up the mallet and knock it a few times.
The council hall fell silent.
"Senators, it's a great pleasure to be here with you.
You are standing here, representing the more than 5,000 real nobles and more than 3,000 fictitious nobles of the empire, and the more than 8,000 hereditary and lifelong nobles of the empire. ” "In the next five or even ten years, I will work side by side with the vast majority of you here, for the empire, for the world, for the people of the world."
The senators were all smiling.
What Wei Zheng said was just a cliché, and what everyone gathered here for today was very clear in their hearts.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, it's time for us to talk about the old days later.
Now, let's get down to business first, the first meeting of all senators in this parliament has officially begun, and now we will discuss the matter of changing the fiefs of more than 1,300 nobles of the empire such as Changsun Wuji, and we will start voting on this later. ” "Please remember that you represent more than 8,000 nobles of the empire, and at the same time, you are also vassals of the empire, and you must also fully consider the interests of the empire."
A total of 1,386 nobles, involved in the change of seals.
These aristocrats are all rightists.
They used to be royalists, and this time they are all facing a change of seal.
Such as the eldest grandson Wuji, he will be resealed and sent to Africa.
There are also some who have changed quickly, and they also have to change their seals, but they don't need to change to Africa, but they have to change from better places such as Monan, the Western Regions, and the credibility to Liaobei and Xihai.
In fact, everyone also understands that the eldest grandson Wuji and others have already surrendered to the regent, and they have agreed to change the seal.
Now it's brought to the upper house, but it's just a procedure.
But the regent is a guy who cares a lot about the process.
After passing through the upper court, whether it is a change of seal, the recovery of the fief, the reduction of the knighthood, etc., it is a unanimous decision made by all the Guizhou deputies.
"Wuji, the eldest grandson of the king of Yili County, was originally a fief in the North Yili River Valley of the Tianshan Mountains, with a fief of more than 1,200 miles.
The present parliament proposed that he be reassigned to the island of Xinliuqiu in Africa, and his title was reduced to the marquis of Xinliuqiu, with a fief of one hundred and twenty li. 2,000 territorial guards" A secretary reads it from the stage.
The first is the eldest grandson Wuji.
The former Luoyang Changsun family, one of the eight nobles of Zhenguan, the confidant of the Emperor Taishang, cannot escape the fate of being exiled overseas.
Many senators sighed at his result, but also felt that he was a good life. met a benevolent person like Zhang Chao, otherwise, any other founding emperor would not have a good end for someone like Changsun.
The king of the county was reduced to a county marquis, and the fief of 1,200 li was reduced to 120 li.
Still in distant Africa, it is difficult for Luoyang's eldest grandson's family to turn over.
As for this Xinliuqiu, it is said to be a very huge island, on the east coast of Africa, and I heard that Fujian and Zhejiang are larger together.
"Now everyone can speak freely, Chen Shu has seen it."
No one is upset for the eldest grandson Wuji, if it is the upper house before the re-election, it is estimated that there will be some rightists who want to say a few words for the eldest grandson, but now, this upper house is a resolute supporter of the regent, and who will speak for the eldest grandson.
Someone stood up to speak.
But instead of speaking for him, he thought that the eldest grandson's treatment was too good.
It is not necessary to reserve the title and fief for this kind of person, there is no need to change the title at all, and directly send the eldest grandson family to the Lingdong Road of the imperial court to open up the wasteland and guard the border, and their titles will all be recovered, and the fief will also be recovered.
There are still many people who have such an attitude.
Since the skin of the face has been torn, it is natural that the grass should be cut and eradicated.
Give the eldest grandson Wuji a chance to make a comeback, why even if it is a desert island in Africa, you can't cheap him, let alone let him run away with his property.

When the discussion became more and more excessive, Wei Zheng had to bang the gavel several times to bring the senators' topic back.
Otherwise, if the discussion continues, it will have to be which people in the eldest grandson's family should be killed, which people should be exiled, and which people should not enter the court.
In any case, this disposal decision was made by Zhang Chao.
Wei Zheng himself agrees, this is not a matter of women's benevolence, but Zhang Chao's gentle disposition, which can make this change of dynasty that should not have occurred more peaceful and avoid rebellion and conflict.
Now that the eldest grandson and others are given a way out, they can leave the Central Plains willingly.
Otherwise, they will definitely have to fight desperately, even if they work hard, the final outcome will definitely be defeat, but there is no need to hurt the innocent.
Every war, there will be a lot of losses, very bad effects.
"Voting shall now be opened" The secretary began to roll call.
Point to a senator, who stands up and votes.
"In favor" the senator raised his hand with his thumbs up.
The last two-thirds of senators said yes, but about a third said no.
However, the reason for their opposition was that the eldest grandson should not be replaced, but should be exiled directly.
"Record the reasons for opposing the senators."
Wei Zheng confessed to the clerk.
The parliamentary vote is more than half to pass, and now more than two-thirds of the people have passed, and the demotion of the eldest grandson Wuji to the title and reduction of the title is of course passed.
Then began to publicize, discuss and vote on the second proposal for changing the seal, the second being the eldest grandson Shunde.
There is only one eldest grandson family, and they have more than 70 real titles and more than 100 false titles.
This huge Luoyang Changsun family has no less than three hundred male children, and their family has a prince, three princes, seven or eight county dukes, and more than a dozen marquis and a bunch of sub-barons.
Now, these real titles have been reduced and reduced, and even the virtual titles have all been reduced.
A real baron only has ten li of fiefdom left, a viscount only twenty li, and an earl thirty li.
Only the eldest grandson Wuji retains the marquis, and there are only three counts down there, and then the rest are all barons.
The false title is also the highest in the earl.
The fiefs of the eldest grandson's lords are also mostly on New Liuqiu Island and the surrounding islands.
Hundreds of aristocratic and wealthy families of various sizes, such as the Changsun family, the Hongnong Yang family, the Jingzhao Wei family, the Du family, the Hedong Pei family, and the Jiangnan Xiao family, were uprooted this time.
Except for some families and some children who are on Zhang Chao's side, and one or two branches are kept in the Central Plains, almost all of them have to be moved overseas.
Such as Hongnong Yang's family, the famous gate of Guanxi, the gate valve from the Han Dynasty, and the royal family of the Sui Dynasty.
At this time, the branch of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty also retained Yang Shidao, and the branch of Yang Su back then, that is, Yang Hongli, was preserved.
Of course, if you want to say that among the families that were moved away this time, the biggest one is naturally the Li Tang royal family.
Since the last time Li Shimin and Li Zhi moved out of the Central Plains, this time from the emperor Chengqian to Li Daozong and other clans, the entire imperial family, not a single one was left in the Central Plains, and hundreds of large and small sects were moved.
Their titles were similarly reduced and their fiefs reduced.
Emperor Chengqian has been designated as the king of Tang, and this time it is not on the discussion and vote, but the others have been reduced and relocated.
After the discussion, the whole family simply packed up and voted together.
There are more than 1,000 marquises, more than 500 real seals, and more than 800 false seals.
One by one, they were voted on, and it was decided to reduce the seal and replace the seal.
There are more than 8,000 nobles in the empire, which is equivalent to more than 1,300 less at once.
Although these people still have a baronial title at the minimum, they have actually been disqualified from being members of parliament for three generations, and they retain their titles of nobility, but they cannot enter the House of Lords like other nobles, and they are neither elected to the Senate nor qualified to be elected to the Senate.
They were even required not to return to the Central Plains for three generations, and they were not even allowed to send people back to the Central Plains to do business.
Three generations, this is a ban for almost a hundred years.
More than 1,300 nobles reduced their seals and changed their seals, and the decision was completed in half a day.
All passed in the House of Lords.
Wei Zheng looked at the box of resolution records and was stunned for a moment.
"Carry these, go to the cabinet."
Cabinet, regent Zhang Chao looked at those records.
With these, then the eldest grandson Wuji and the others will really be completely swept out of the Central Plains, and they will not be allowed to return to the Central Plains for a hundred years.
In the past hundred years, they may be able to gain a foothold there, or even make a career, but they will no longer be able to affect the Central Plains Empire for a hundred years.

And their exile was not an order of Zhang Chao, not of the new empire, but of the Tang Empire, a collective decision of the senators of the House of Nobles.
He also had some recitals on his desk.
It was a report sent back by the generals below, and the eldest grandson and others had ordered the fiefdom soldiers to disarm, and they all handed over the fief as promised.
The royalists such as the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian, as well as their families, have completely compromised, and they can no longer pose the slightest threat to Zhang Chao and his new empire.
Now, it's just for them to sell their property in the Central Plains and move their family overseas. t1706231537:
