Chapter 488 The Throne Ceremony
June 18th, a great time in the hot summer!

Generally speaking, important events will not be held on this day because the weather is too hot and it is easy to cause heatstroke.

But it is obvious that this is not a problem for Li Qingyuan!

Not to mention that a master can be immune to cold and heat to a certain extent, just the air conditioners, refrigerators and other items he brought are enough to allow him to spend a perfect summer!
Li Qingyuan, wearing a dragon robe, walked slowly to the Daming Palace and sat on the dragon throne. Then he looked at the civil and military officials kneeling below and raised his hand with a smile.

Eunuch Wei Lianxiang, Zhu Yuyan's senior brother, immediately shouted:

"Be flat!"

Today is the first morning meeting of the Tang Dynasty. The main task is to determine the reign title and reward people according to their merits.

Needless to say, the word "Shengwu" cannot be changed in any way.

The rest of the reward and punishment is also simple. After all, this thing was almost all decided last month!

Song Que was very happy about being arranged to be the king of Persia. His long-cherished wish was to wipe out the foreign races. Now that the Turks had been destroyed, the northern grasslands would have no capital for resistance for twenty years. So when Li Qingyuan advocated reopening the Western Regions, Song Que naturally agreed with both hands.

His favorite piece of history back then was Ban Chao's rise to prominence in the Western Regions. Now Li Qingyuan can actually help him realize this wish, which is definitely the best choice.

Although Persia is still just a concept on the map, with 10,000 fully armed Red Banners and the hundreds of thousands of auxiliary troops that the Song family has raised for so many years, Song Que said that he could easily conquer even the horizon!
Apart from Song Que, the rest are the two dukes of the Dugu family!
There is no way, even if there is an angel investor, the Dugu family is really impossible to support.

Dugu Ce thought he was the reincarnation of Bai Qi and Han Xin. After conquering the Li clan, he became jealous when he saw Song Que defeat the Turks, and he led his troops to attack Goguryeo!
In history books, people always associate Goguryeo with the Koreans in later generations, but in fact, the Koreans in later generations tried to claim this ancestor more than once, but that was purely a way for them to flatter themselves!

Today's Goguryeo is not a tiny country like the Koreans in later generations, but a big country with a population of several million and thousands of miles of land. It also has its own astronomical calendar and various production resources. It has mastered various skilled crafts and farming techniques. It can be regarded as a smaller version of the Central Plains dynasty!

This is also why two emperors of the Sui Dynasty fought to the death against Goguryeo. Even Li Er, who was known as the Heavenly Khan, was unable to defeat it. In the end, it was Li Zhi who killed Goguryeo by relying on bloodletting therapy.

Dugu Ce led an army of 50,000 to attack Goguryeo, but before he even reached the border, he had already lost hundreds of men in non-combat situations!

There was no other way. Sending out an army to war was not something that could be solved by simply clicking the mouse in a game. Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating along the way was enough to give people a headache, not to mention that it was still the coldest time of the year. Dugu Ce naturally did not feel the cold in his tiger-skin cloak, but those auxiliary soldiers could not stop the invasion of wind and snow no matter how many linen clothes they wore.

So Dugu Feng directly asked his father to bring back that stupid brother, and ordered the army to find a nearby city to rest and prepare to wait until the coronation was completed before letting Li Qingyuan appoint officials to conquer Goguryeo.

After all, everyone has realized that Dugu Ce simply cannot distinguish between good words and bad words. Once a few people flatter him, he really thinks of himself as a famous general of the time. He has no self-awareness at all!

Dugu Feng had given up, knowing that forcing him to be praised would not end well. His elder brother had such a stupid brain that making him a king would be a complete harm to him, so it was better to let him be an idle duke and eat, drink and have fun every day.

With these two big heads taken care of, there was nothing much to say about the rest. Anyway, it was just a matter of seniority. Besides, everyone had an idea of what official position they could get. As a qualified political machine, Li Qingyuan tried to keep the error within 10%, so no one would have any objections.

It is true that he could also use force to suppress all voices of dissatisfaction, but doing so would ultimately be unstable.

Don’t say that fists are everything. When your mother disciplined you as a child, she also used slaps in the face. But would you really listen and improve your academic performance?
Violence can indeed solve most problems, but it cannot solve all problems, especially since Li Qingyuan still wants to unify the world. He can't do everything by himself, right?

However, although everyone was very satisfied with the reward, there was still one thing that made everyone feel discordant.

That is, Li Qingyuan actually appointed Shen Luoyan as the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, which surprised all the civil and military officials.

Everyone originally thought that Shen Luoyan would enter the harem, and even assumed that her contribution should earn her the title of one of the four concubines. But unexpectedly, she ended up coming to the former court?

Li Qingyuan directly copied the official positions from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Because he had watched too many costume dramas, he always felt that those official positions sounded familiar, and he knew what they were responsible for as soon as he heard them!

By the way, the cabinet system was also introduced. Song Que was the nominal chief minister of the cabinet, and Shen Luoyan, Dugu Feng and others served as assistant ministers.

People didn't have any big objections to this. It was just a change of name, the rights remained the same!

Besides, compared to Wang Mang who had nothing better to do and changed the names of all the states, counties and prefectures in the world, Li Qingyuan's move is already considered good.

Although everyone was somewhat dissatisfied with a woman being the prime minister, as the saying goes, the power of the founding emperor is the most prosperous, and anyone who dares to express a different opinion will basically go to hell, so everyone just discussed it a little and then accepted it.

Now that the previous dynasty has been confirmed, the remaining thing is naturally to confer titles on the harem!

However, the harem belongs to Li Qingyuan's private territory, so except for the Queen Dugu Feng, other concubines do not need to show up. They only need to read the documents of enfeoffment in the previous court!

Among the four concubines, there are only Song Yuzhi and Kankan, and there is no one to take over the vacant positions for the time being.

The nine concubines are Xiao Meiniang, Yang Ruyu, Yang Ruyi, Zhu Yuyan, Shan Meixian, Shan Wanjing, Zhangsun Wugou and Li Xiuning!
As for the rest, such as Rong Jiaojiao and Dong Shu Ni, they have also managed to become talented people.

Of course, such a low level is not qualified to appear in the enthronement edict, so a verbal expression is enough!
Besides, being able to jump from a pet to a human being is already a great fortune for both of them!
Look at the treatment that Shi Feixuan, Shang Xiuxun and others received in the harem, that's just miserable!

(The Tang Dynasty chapter has come to an end. The ones who haven’t appeared yet should be Shi Qingxuan and Shang Xiufang, but that’s not worth writing about separately, so let’s just end it anyway!

I'll write a few short stories later if I have time! That's it for now!)
