The 20th day of the first lunar month was the first dynasty in the third year of Changyuan. The emperor formally issued an edict to make his eldest son Li Chenghong the crown prince, and set up the Eastern Palace Office and the Sixth Cavalry Guard according to the system.
But the prince did not live in Shaoyang Courtyard of Daming Palace, but instead gave a luxurious and luxurious house to his villa near the Sanfu Bend of Zhiyuanfang in the northeast corner of Chang'an.
Because although the edict was promulgated in the name of Li Shouli, the person who drafted the specific content was a civil servant.
Since Wu Zetian, it has been common for princes to rebel and seize power. Li Chongjun, Li Longji and others have violated the ban with martial arts, and they have led the army into the palace in a noble manner.
Li Shouli didn't care about preventing problems before it happened, but the court officials knew that the past was learned, so they naturally had to be careful. They took the opportunity to make trouble in the details of the edict and arranged the prince in the prince's mansion to the Yuanfang for easy monitoring.
Now the ministers with real power in the court hope that the Tang Dynasty's regime will be on the right track, but on the other hand, they are afraid that the prince will be too radical and will overly endanger their rights and interests.
The princes' mansions in the northeast are magnificently built, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers. They were built for Li Shouli two years ago.
Because Li Shouli has too many sons and daughters, there are dozens of them, and some of them cannot even name their names when they meet.
So the court specially set up a piece of land to repair pavilions and courtyards, so that they could eat, drink and have fun there, saving the power center from causing trouble.
After resettling Li Chenghong's residence, the ministers mentioned the decentralization of power again a few days later. Lu Xiang first wanted the prince to supervise the country and take some state power.
Because of the current situation, the emperor is not in power, and in fact, the central government's power is all in the hands of the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, and when encountering difficulties, they can only ask the queen. Lu Xiangxian was under great pressure. He was worried that he would lose his reputation as dictatorship like Cao Cao, and realized that in the long run, the empress and the King of Jin would be too overwhelmed. The king and the ministers were strong, and it was not the way to maintain long-term stability. If Lu Xiangxian did not make any arguments, later generations would definitely criticize him for being inactive in the position and causing chaos in the country.
Moreover, he did not want autocratic ambitions, so he repeatedly insisted on decentralization.
At this time, Xue Chongxun was very low-key and never talked about anything he shouldn't ask about.
Although people often mention him and regard him as the focus of Chang'an, he is often easily overlooked when he is with him on some occasions.
After the crown prince was appointed, he had a state banquet in Linde Hall, and he also attended.
During the meal, the eunuch Yu Liben whispered the conflict between the queen and the prince's biological mother and the filth between them.
When he looked at Gao, he found that Gao deliberately avoided his gaze, looking very cold.
Xue Chongxun is also very troubled. Chang'an is really too complicated now. Not to mention the hidden dangers on the prince's side, even Princess Taiping is also a mess of sand, and everyone has plans.
Naturally, he is not as good as his mother and can subdue all kinds of people. First of all, he is a relative of the outside world, and his identity is incomparable to his mother.
He let their group of people do it in it, and he didn't get involved, just caring about consolidating his own acre of three-point land.
The Flying Tiger Regiment has been transferred to Anyifang to accompany him. With this elite cavalry, Xue Chongxun is much more courageous. It is really amazing to have hundreds of fully armed guards in Chang'an City.
It is not easy for someone to use illegal means to plot against him. Xue Chongxun can only use legitimate means to touch him.
In addition, after becoming a prince, he could have his own official office, Prince Kingdom according to the system. Recently, the official residence was being expanded and many surrounding house foundations were relocated to free up territory for the prince Kingdom.
There was originally a secret prison in the old mansion that imprisoned the minister Cui Riyong and his wife, as well as several other prisoners who Xue Chongxun could not quite understand. They were arrested by Yu Wenxiao.
Because outsiders came in to expand, Xue Chongxun ordered Yuwen Xiao to secretly kill people and destroy their bodies, which was probably burning them. Anyway, Xue Chongxun just needs to order them, and Yuwen Xiao can do the specific matters in practice.
At this time, he found that Yu Wenxiao was really useful. If there were no Yu Wenxiao, he would have to do those dirty things by himself, otherwise would Wang Changling or the aristocratic aides around him do it?That would be very troublesome.
After Xue Chongxun came back from the Daming Palace, he rushed to see the progress of his prince's construction. He happened to meet Yu Wenxiao at the scene, so he said to Yu Wenxiao in a very appreciative tone: Now, the people around me, besides the Flying Tiger Regiment, are the most powerful in the intelligence bureau of Yu Wen, and can be called my left and right arms.
Yu Wenxiao reminded with some concern: The court officials have not noticed our intelligence bureau now because there are few participants now, and they are afraid that the fire will not be kept in the way. Sooner or later, if we investigate one by one, we will not be able to explain many things clearly.
Xue Chongxun comforted her kind words: Duke Yuwen is worried, I will have a way to deal with it... But the name is really changed. Now there is no need to detect enemy intelligence in Chang'an. It may be inappropriate to call the Intelligence Bureau again, so I will still operate after changing the name.
When the Prince Kingdom is completed, there will be official offices such as the National Bureau of Justice, the Wei Office, and the Professor's Academy. What name is better for the Intelligence Bureau to put on?Yuwen Xiao asked.
Xue Chongxun shook his head and said: Don’t be too cautious. I am of great use in your department. If it is confused with those regular offices, it will be detrimental to development... It is called an internal factory. It clearly states that it is in charge of the internal affairs of the government. In fact, Duke Yuwen is responsible for selecting trustworthy people to participate in the confidential work and do the previous work of the Intelligence Bureau.
Internal factory?Yu Wenxiao was a little surprised, probably because the name is quite novel.
Xue Chongxun smiled and said: He occupies the core of the official office, so he is called an internal factory.It’s not important to set up a new name yourself. If Xue can’t make decisions on this matter, it’s too slight... Haha, it’s called the Inner Factory, this name is good.Originally, I wanted to call it Dongchang, but unfortunately, this prince's position is in the west, but it is inappropriate to call it Dong.
He was very satisfied after coming up with this idea, and then called Yu Wenxiao into the palace and secretly issued a task, asking him to organize people to strictly monitor the Crown Prince Li Chenghong.
In addition to laying eyeliners around the Prince's Courtyard of the Yuanfang, we also need to penetrate it into it, but we must be careful and not let others grasp our real handle.You can train some people who work outside, but don’t let them know who the employer is; you can also use coercion to buy people in their house to find out the news for us.
Xue Chongxun said casually, I just give Duke Yuwen. Just listen to what is feasible. Don’t listen to what is not reliable. You can do the specific matters. I believe your ability.
Yuwen Xiaodao: The capital is not as good as Longyou. If you arrange a secret spy in the capital, you will inevitably be informed of the news, and it is impossible to do it without a ghost.Just like the spies of the Censorate who are suspected of greed and indiscriminate behavior, they are also known to their existence.It is also difficult for us to do it without knowing it.
Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment and said: You are right. The prince is too eye-catching now. If we monitor him, we will definitely be noticed by the court officials.But it's okay. Everyone knows that I have to guard against the prince. What's wrong with being a human being like this?You should pay attention to your qualities now, try to keep your posture as low as possible, and don’t cause trouble. It is also more troublesome to provoke the officials of Jingzhao Mansion... After all, you rely on a prince, not on the support of the emperor, do you understand?
Yuwen Xiao nodded and said: It was not something Xue Lang personally told me. I have never arrested anyone, let alone injured anyone.
Xue Chongxun asked casually: How did the others who had dealt with the "those two" a few days ago run into the secret prison of the official office?
Yuwen Xiao said in surprise: Didn’t it all Xue Lang called him to arrest him?Those people teased the woman of Gong Yecheng, the general of the Flying Tiger Corps, in the street. They beat someone up and were caught by Xue Lang. They were locked up in the mansion and were still imprisoned until now. One of them starved to death before the New Year, and now they are all executed.
Oh... Xue Chongxun suddenly said, "I didn't pay much attention to it before the war, and I forgot about that over time.Jingzhao Mansion didn’t ask you for someone?
I came once and said we had no right to privately detain the people. I said that Xue Lang asked them to arrest him and asked them to tell you, but it ended up in vain.
……
What Xue Chongxun has been in charge of the Prince's Kingdom during this period is the preparation and construction of the Prince's Kingdom. The scale of the official office has been greatly expanded. In the past, there were not enough officials in the county palace, so he arranged some new people, including Zhou Bin, the Beijing official who was acquainted with Yuwen Xiao, who was brought over to become the Prince's Kingdom lieutenant.
There was also a group of Hedong literati who followed Xue Chongxun back to Beijing from the Eastern Capital. These people were originally officials who were arranged by him to manage the accounts in the Yellow River Dacang in Luoyang. Later, the war broke out and they each escaped. After the official army recovered Luoyang, they defected to Xue Chongxun.
Most of them have bad backgrounds, or are poor scholars, and even more nonsense, there are people who have worked as shop owners. Being able to rely on the powerful and powerful to be an official is already a smoke from the ancestral grave, let alone Xue Chongxun is from their hometown.
The princely team arranged by Xue Chongxun, his staff mainly consisted of three factions: Yuwen Xiao and Zhou Bin and other relatives; the former officials of the county prince’s mansion under Wang Changling; and the literati from Hedong.
Then use the more upright Wang Changling as the prince's order to coordinate all parties.
The current situation is still very good. Everyone can live in harmony regardless of their origins. For example, Wang Changling and Yu Wenxiao’s personal relationship is actually very good.
Yuwen Xiao is a person who is cruel in his work, but he is actually very kind to others on weekdays and is very capable of making people. He doesn't like to argue with others, and he can't tell his inner feelings at all.
After Xue Chongxun's series of preparations, the staff group first showed its scale. Although it was small and had all the internal organs, there were people in the royal country who were in charge of everything.
Now he has someone in his hands, and what he lacks is a very powerful man who can stand on his own.
The problem is that he cannot recover such people, such as Cheng Qianli, Li Xuanyi, etc., who are all capable people in Xue Chongxun's eyes, but they are either talented people at the level of a military governor or prime minister, or they just don't want to come out to do things at all and cannot accept them...
A relative like Cheng Qianli is already the prime minister, Duke Dongping. It is impossible for people to be wronged and dismissed as a prince?
But the prince did not live in Shaoyang Courtyard of Daming Palace, but instead gave a luxurious and luxurious house to his villa near the Sanfu Bend of Zhiyuanfang in the northeast corner of Chang'an.
