Upstairs of Luoyang Drum Tower.

The soldiers in grief collaborated to ring the big bell, and the bell rang and echoed from afar.

At this time, most people in the eastern capital Luoyang did not know that the Emperor Zhenguan had passed away. They felt very strange when they heard the bell at noon, especially one after another, and there was no intention of stopping.

The general of the Jinwu Guard on the left and the general of the Jinwu Guard on the right, Li Mengchang on the other hand were all wearing bright light armor, but they did not wear the usual brocade robe and cloak outside the iron armor, but instead covered the thickest mourning clothes of raw linen, and were exposed to the edge.

In the ritual system, the princes become emperors, the ministers become kings, the men and unmarried daughters become fathers, the eldest sons and grandchildren become grandfathers, and the wives and concubines are husbands. They are all dressed in mourning clothes, and they are called sorrow to extol the sorrow.

However, for these two generals, it is not the time to be sad. They were summoned by the Grand Tutor Qin Lang and granted the order to martial law in the eastern capital Luoyang.

The death knell on the bell tower has already ringed, and soon the whole world will know that the Emperor Zhenguan has passed away. At this time, the stability of Luoyang must be guaranteed.

So when the 30,000 death knives were ringed, the left and right Jinwu Guards began martial law in Luoyang.

At the same time, Liu Lancheng, the General of the Left Yulin, and Gongsun Wuda, the General of the Right Yulin, also received the order from Qin Lang to rule the Yulin Army to guard the palace.

Even Cheng Yaojin was secretly recalled, and was appointed as the General of the Left Guard. He and the General of the Right Guard Qin Guozhong stationed in the east and west of Luoyang City, commanded the troops in the south to the 12 Guards, and seized the General of the 20 palaces of the 12 Guards.

The emperor is the lord of the world and the pillar of the country. When the emperor dies, the pillar of the country collapses, so it is called collapse.

According to the Tang system, the death of the emperor or the empress dowager is called a death, the death of the crown prince, the prince and the prince are called a death, the second rank or above is called a death, the fifth rank or above is called a death, and the latter sixth rank is called a death to common people.

Martial law in the capital.

The servants of Henan Prefecture, Henan, Luoyang and other yamen began to announce to the people that the emperor's grand ceremony and the new emperor's ascendance to the throne.

After the death knives of the Bell and Drum Tower rang, all the temples and temples in and outside the city had to ring 30,000 bells each!

During the national mourning period, the subjects stopped feasting and weddings.

Music, marriage, official suspension for a hundred days, military and civilians for one month.

Use a blue pen to write a book within a hundred days, and use a blue seal to write a official document.

Slaughtering and alcohol prohibition for forty-nine days...

In the palace.

The simple ascension of the throne in front of the spirit has ended. The new emperor Li Chengqian said that he would concentrate on guarding the Daxing Emperor for twenty-seven days. All military and state affairs here will be handed over to the two auxiliary ministers of the Grand Tutor Qin Lang, Changsun Wuji, to preside over the government affairs hall and lead the government affairs hall.

The Secretariat in the palace is introspective and in the political affairs hall.

The new team held the first formal meeting. Except for Li Ji who led the troops, the other nine prime ministers attended, and the officials behind the Wufang Hall of the Political Affairs Hall also attended the meeting.

The whole house is covered with white silk.

Everyone looked solemn and felt sad.

The great Tian Khan died at the age of 48 and died young.

The new emperor's succession was quite smooth, and everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Changsun Wuji's face was haggard. He was not as young and energetic as Qin Lang. He could ride a horse for thousands of miles in five days and coordinate affairs of all sizes. He had not slept for more than an hour every day in the past few days. He was extremely tired, but he still had to keep his energy alive.

"Sanlang?"

Qin Lang sat there a little insanely. He remembered that Li Shimin seemed to have lived to the 23rd year of Zhenguan in history. He didn't expect that he would be two years ahead of schedule.

Of course, until this time, Chengqian had officially become the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Qin Lang was still a little dazed. Did he really change history?

Chengqian was helped to the throne by him?

"Changsun Gong."

"The new emperor has succeeded to the throne, but there are still many things to do next. We must protect the Tang Dynasty for the Emperor Daxing, and we must not make any mistakes. Sanlang, you are young, and we will rely on you more next."

Changsun Wuji, who had always liked to take over power, felt very uncomfortable at this time, so he could only hope that the young Qin Lang would add more burdens. Moreover, the emperor's death order was indeed led by Qin Lang, so he was also a statement, indicating that he would support his son-in-law.

Qin Lang took back his mind.

There is indeed a lot to do next.

After sorting out his thoughts, he said, "The most urgent task is now. I think it is necessary to hold the funeral of the Emperor Daxing and the throne ceremony of the new emperor. You can put the rest first, and you can't wait."

After the emperor passed away, there were three rituals, namely funerals, funerals and sacrifices, and the new emperor also had an ascension ceremony and a ceremony for the ascension ceremony.

Funerals are an important part of the ritual system.

The system of rituals is the foundation of a country. Zuo Zhuan has a saying that rituals can be used to govern the country, stabilize the country, and make the people more beneficial to descendants. Li is a great law to govern the country, stabilize the country, make the people order, and make future generations more beneficial.

Therefore, all dynasties have never been ambiguous about the ritual system.

At present, national funerals and funerals before the funeral are actually subject to regulations and have a standard process, especially Li Shimin, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty to collapse, and there is also Emperor Gaozu in front of him.

Funerals generally include promulgation of the will, appointing the Five Shanling Envoys and other officials in charge of funeral affairs, each according to the high and low, relatives and disparities, wearing different mourning clothes, including announcing a general amnesty, banning wedding banquets and slaughter during the national mourning period, etc.

"Let's discuss the candidates for the Five Consuls of the Shanling Mountain!"

Changsun Wuji said directly, "Sanlang is the head of the government designated by the saint at the end of his life, so you will naturally be the etiquette envoy of the mountain tomb."

Xu Jingzong and others also supported it.

Qin Lang refused, because the Shanmao Envoy was not a errand, but it was similar to the honorary title of supervision of national history. If there was such a sum in the archives in the future, it would add more qualifications.

So he said, "Then please ask Changsun Gong to serve as the ceremonial envoy of the Shanming Mausoleum, Xu Gong as the Shanming Mausoleum, Chu as the Bridge Road, and Cui as the Dharma Goods envoy."

When Emperor Gaozu died, the court also asked Qin Lang to be the mountain mausoleum envoy, and several Wudezha were also selected as the mountain mausoleum envoy, with eight mountain mausoleum envoys.

This time, Qin Lang proposed that five prime ministers serve as the Five Envoys of Shanling, which means that Qin Lang is the chief envoy, Changsun is the deputy envoy, and there are three deputy envoys behind him.

Du Zhenglun, Zhang Xingcheng, Gao Jishu, four prime ministers, were not appointed, and they knew that they had low qualifications, so they had no objections.

This matter was settled, and then the five people were responsible separately.

"In the emperor's will, the emperor, specifically, told the army to reward, I think this matter must be implemented immediately."

Luoyang has many troops, including the Northern Yai Imperial Army and the Southern Yai Army. To this day, it has been no longer a simple situation at the beginning of the founding of the country, but very complicated.

For example, the army of the Northern Ya, has now developed into the Ten Army of the Northern Ya, with each army divided into generals and generals. As for the Southern Ya guards, the imperial guards of the Northern Ya recruited elite troops and were always equipped with soldiers.

The first task of the Northern Yaya is to guard the capital and guard the emperor.

In addition to garrisoning Luoyang, they also garrisoned Chang'an, even Tongguan, Wuguan between the two capitals, Wulaoguan east of Luoyang, Pujin, Heyin and other places, there were also imperial guards stationed in several places.

The Southern Ya Guards' Mansions have long changed the system of the above, and the command of the twelve guards has changed to each guard who has 3,000 troops in Beijing. In fact, 36,000 permanent resident Xunyi Mansions belonging to the twelve guards, and are commanded by the Generals of the Central Army. They are mainly stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, corresponding to the internal and external imperial guards.

Nowadays, there are more than 50,000 soldiers in the two yamen in Luoyang alone.

There are also two middle and senior generals from the two yamen, but they have stayed in the capital for a long time.

Li Shimin specifically told the reward of the army, naturally to ensure that the army can be stable in this special period.

The treatment of the imperial guards is usually very good. The imperial guards of the Tenth Army of the Northern Yamen are actually divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower levels, such as the three battalions of Hundred Cavalry, Thousand Cavalry, and Flying Cavalry. They are naturally first-class treatment. Yulin Lang, who is known as the disciple of the Emperor, has even better treatment. As the most mysterious firearm unit, the treatment of the Shenji Camp is also good.

In contrast, the Jinwu Guards who are responsible for the public security and defense of the capital's outer city are more or less ordinary.

Generally speaking, the treatment of the top sergeant of the Imperial Guard is about three cents a month, which is the basic monthly money. In addition, there will be monthly food, clothing, etc., and the overall treatment is good.

The Southern Ya belongs to the government soldiers, and the troops stationed in Beijing belong to the national ranks. They regularly draw troops from local military governments to serve on duty. After arriving in Beijing, the generals of the Central Army belong to the commander of each guard. The food and accommodation are all under the responsibility of each guard, and there are even subsidies for each guard, but the benefits are far worse than those of the Northern Ya.

After all, the Northern Yamen is a professional soldier, and the Southern Yamen is basically a landlord and self-cultivated farmer. It would be good if the Southern Yamen soldier can get twenty yuan a day. This is equivalent to buying a bucket of rice in Chang'an and Luoyang.

Of course, no matter what the people in the north and south are in the north and south, they will also receive holiday rewards, and they will even give them some pork or something.

"Military rewards are the right one, but what are the standards?"

Qin Lang didn't want to waste more time quarrel about these things at this time, so he said directly, "Now the Ku Mansion is full, giving more rewards to the soldiers at this time will also show the grace of the Emperor Daxing and the kindness of the new emperor. I think we can give more. Not only do the soldiers in the two capitals need to reward, but also the border troops."

"Will this be too wide and consume too much?" Chu Suiliang asked, thinking that it was enough to appease the soldiers in Luoyang.

But Qin Lang still said that, it’s not that he can’t afford to pay.

As for the standards, they can be divided into several levels. For example, the imperial guards were given high salaries, were professional soldiers, and had to support their families, so they should be rewarded the most. The soldiers in the frontier were also full-time in the camp and could be ranked second. The soldiers in frontier towns were already hard, ranking third.

Then other soldiers who were not on duty, local regiment training, etc., were rewarded with symbolic symbolic rewards.

"The chiefs and barbarians, such as the governors and governors of the four borders, should also be rewarded with some symbolic rewards."

"The treatment of the imperial guards in the capital was originally divided into several levels, so should we continue this time?"

Qin Lang cut the mess with a quick knife, "You can subdue the number of major waits, and then divide the number of small waits in the imperial guards according to the convention, but the gap is not big. As for the standards, I will give you a comment first. The imperial guards will give you a piece of autumn clothes, which can be discounted, and then reward them with a month of monthly money and monthly food."
