On the day of the Zhengdan Dynasty, Li Shimin announced the change of the Yuan Dynasty to Zhenguan, and the Tang Dynasty entered the Zhenguan era from then on.

Zhenguan is the way of heaven and earth, and Zhenguan is the way of heaven and earth. This sentence is in the Book of Changes. The two words Zhenguan represent the way of heaven and earth, that is, the development of everything in heaven and earth has certain objective laws, and this law is righteousness. Li Shimin explained this year name to the people of the world, and said that Zhenguan was righteousness, and it was righteousness. Zhenguan showed people the rightness.

In fact, in Li Chao's understanding, this year's year name is another matter. Li Shimin used these two words as the year name, which is actually overemphasizing that his position is correct, historical necessity, and arranged by God. It means that I won the world is arranged by God. The subjects in the world must follow God's instructions and not go against God's will. To be shameless, I, Li Shimin, are the destiny of heaven. You must respect me well and don't always think about doing things.

The change of the Yuan Dynasty to Zhenguan, and then the new dynasty and new atmosphere were brought.

The court had many new atmospheres, such as the Political Affairs Hall of the Shangshu Province, which was moved to the Shangshu Province and was renamed the Zhongshu Subordinate. For example, Fang Xuanling was changed to the Zhongshu Order, Du Ruhui was changed to the Shizhong, and the left and right servants of the Shangshu Province were all vacant. The prime minister must add the eight words "Pingzhangshi" to be considered prime minister. Otherwise, even if you are the left and right servants without these eight words, then you are just like the three divisions and three dukes of the Taishi Taiwei, and you are just a nominal official rank and a nominal prime minister.

In fact, the three divisions and three dukes in the court now do not have the same affairs as the minister of the Central Secretariat. They are not even qualified to enter the minister of the Central Secretariat. The third divisions and three dukes do not have the qualifications to open a government office to establish a corps. Therefore, except for the occasional meetings of the court, the emperor asked them to sit in front of all officials and be a mascot, they had no real power at all.

Pei Ji, the two old ministers of Li Yuan of Feng Deyi, were awarded the title of the Third Division, and the two royal helmsmen of Li Xiaogong and Li Shentong, were also awarded the title of the Third Duke. In addition, the other two old ministers of Li Yuan, they filled the positions of the Third Duke and the Six Men of the Third Division. But in fact, these six people have been completely erected by Li Shimin and have no power at all.

There were also some surprising arrangements in the new dynasty. For example, the former subordinates of the East Palace, Wei Zheng and Wang Gui, who were deposed princes Li Jiancheng, have now served as the left and right ministers of the Shangshu Province. With the left and right servants vacant, they became the actual head of the Shangshu Province.

Ma Zhou became the Minister of the Secretariat, and Cui Gan was the Minister of the Yellow Sect in the Menxia Province.

Of course, Li Chao is the one who has attracted much attention in the new dynasty.

The Central Secretary of the Procuratorate, the Minister of Revenue, and a bunch of important positions, each position is extremely powerful.

Many careful people also found that many of the aristocrats from the old Guanlong clans had stood aside, especially during the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, those who did not contribute much power from the Western Wei, Northern Zhou and Sui dynasties were mostly left with only one short title and no actual position.

On the contrary, the Guandong gentry, which had always been suppressed by the Guanlong clan, was highly valued by the emperor. Of course, the most powerful ones were the emerging military aristocrats who made great contributions when the Tang Dynasty was established and when the Qin King fought for the throne, as well as a large number of scholars from the bottom of the poor gentry and small landlord class.

Several forces coexisted in the new and old dynasties in the Zhenguan New Dynasty, forming a whole new situation.

However, the two old clans, the old military aristocrats of Guanlong and the Guandong Dashi, as well as the emerging military aristocrats, as well as the poor little landlords, were actually fierce in the court. Although there was no open bloody battle, the swords and shadows behind them were as fierce.

A group of officials were impeached for investigation, and the Censorate was unprecedentedly lively. This place had long become a must-fight for war between various forces and a point of strength.

Through the resources and connections they have, they use the Censorate and the Censor as their swords and guns to charge forward. They dragged their opponents down, and many of them had problems and were not reliable in this round of competition.

Li Shimin has been watching this struggle calmly. It can even be said that this was all he had taken on. He used the Guandong Masters to deal with the powerful Guanlong family, and then personally helped up the emerging military aristocrats, and reused many scholars from poor and small landlords to balance the old family.

Although the struggles in the court were very powerful, they had always developed in the direction Li Shimin expected. The more the struggles were, the more they needed to get the court and the emperor's support.

The victims who fell down first in the fight were actually borers and garbage. No matter how many corrupt officials and aristocrats fell down, Li Shimin was not heartbroken. Instead, he was removing pustules for the Tang Dynasty. Every time one was removed, the Tang Dynasty became stronger. Moreover, these people fell in the hands of their opponents, not the hands of the emperor Li Shimin, so Li Shimin was always very detached in this fight.

The prime ministers have been watching the tiger fight. Li Shimin's prime minister group actually comes from all walks of life. However, no one who can enter the school and holds the title of Pingzhang for the same school as the school. Although they have their own class, they are also prime ministers. They have a closer relationship with the emperor and have closer interests with the emperor.

They also support reducing some garbage borers.

Among the prime ministers, Li Chao is the most outrageous, and he doesn’t feel sorry for anyone falling down.

Although all parties wanted to win over Li Chao, and wanted to take advantage of his status and power to stand in a row and cheer for them. In the eyes of the great gentry of Guandong, Li Chao was a son-in-law of five surnames. He married the Cui family of Qinghe and the Zheng family of Xingyang. His son also got engaged to the Cui family of Boling and Wang family of Taiyuan. Of course, he was on the same side as them. They hoped that Li Chao could consider the interests of the gentry more.

The Guanlong family members also believed that Li Chao should be with them. After all, Li Chao is also in the Bashang of Guanzhong. What is the most important thing about Guanlong family? Of course, it is the Guanzhong position. What is Guandong and Jiangnan? Can it be compared with Guanzhong?

Guanzhong is the main body, and the interests of the Guanzhong family are supreme. In recent years, the old nobles of Guanlong have worked with Li Chao many times and have made great money.

The emerging military aristocrats even regarded Li Chao as their own, Qin Qiongcheng, the Taurus, Yuchi Gong, Shan Xiong, and Li Shiji, etc. These people were not emerging military aristocrats. In the past, they were just small gentry, or even small tyrants, who were only fought through the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Li Chao is Qin Qiong's adopted son, Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin is a big upstart in military merits, and they are all Li Chao's uncles.

Those poor families who were completely promoted by Li Shimin and were able to gain a place in the new dynasty. The little landlords and scholars did not have any strong backers in the court. In the past, they all watched the government affairs as the Guanlong family and the staff subordinates of the Guandong great gentry, and were not qualified to participate in the government affairs at all.

But now, the politics of the Zhenguan Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty also had their place.

They were eager to get rid of the past and wanted to fight for the real place for themselves and gain the right to speak. At this time, they also placed their hopes on Li Chao.

Li Chao has run many academies and vigorously promoted papermaking, printing, and writing books and history. His actions broke the situation where the great gentry monopoly on academics for a long time, and made them children from the small gentry, powerful and small landlord class who were unable to get on the table in the past also had the opportunity to enter the court and speak politically. They hoped that Li Chao could endorse them.

but.

Since the end of the Zhengdan dynasty meeting in the first year of Zhenguan, Li Chao has been busy and has never been doing practical things seriously.

He was in charge of Li Shimin, the mouth of the more than 30 million people in the Tang Dynasty, and the survival of nearly 10 million people in the disaster area.

Work-for-relief, build Hanjing.

Cooking grain from all over the world to help disaster areas.

Such busyness, tension and fulfillment, throwing away other things and focusing on doing things, time passes very quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it was already late autumn of the first year of Zhenguan.

This year, the drought in the north was indeed more serious, and the locust plague was even worse than last year. However, although the locust plague was serious, it did not cause any major damage. Instead, under Li Chao's locust hunting plan, these locusts were turned into life-saving food.

In a year, the Hanjing City, located in Dengzhou, has begun to take shape, and the imperial palace has become somewhat similar. The imperial city, outer city and Guocheng are also gradually becoming clear.

What made Li Chao most pleased was that the disaster this year was even worse, but fewer people starved to death.

There were no major refugee rebellions in the local area.

It was already late autumn and the undisastered areas of the Tang Dynasty were also harvested.

In many unaffected places, the summer harvest this year is pretty good and the autumn harvest is OK.

Especially this summer, thousands of sailboats arrived on the southeast coast one after another and transported more than three million stones of grain. Although the quantity sounded small, these grains were transported from the distant places such as Annan, Linyi, Vietnam, and Zhenla.

In Bashu Dafeng and Jiangnan Dafeng, one ship after another transported grain along the Yangtze River, Han River, Huai River, and Canal, sending grain into the disaster area.

It is late autumn now, the situation in the disaster area is still stable, and the grain reserves have passed the most dangerous warning line and have begun to rebound slowly but strongly.

This winter can be overcome this year and can support it until next spring.

After spring comes, we can continue to transport grain, and supporting the harvest until next summer is no problem.

Li Chao felt that the hard work he had done for more than half a year was worth it. Although he was a little hard and tiring, he did accomplish several things that he was very proud of.

He issued 30 million yuan bonds to the court to pay the grain funds to the big households, grain merchants and landlords, and also used them to purchase grain and rescue disasters and construction in Hanjing. 30 million yuan bonds to appease the rich households and also won a good chance for the court to breathe.

Li Chao kept the stability of the northern disaster area, allowing millions of people to survive, without corpses everywhere, without roosters crowing thousands of miles, and without rebellions everywhere, and wars were everywhere.

Although this year was difficult in the first year of Zhenguan, with the efforts of the monarchs and ministers of the court, this year has come.

Li Chao has a very important contribution to this.
