The swords are rising and falling in a neat manner, and now all the swords are still unrolled. Every Tang sword hand here has the force of a bull. The brute force combined with this quick blowing knife is like cutting wheat, reaping human lives wantonly and happily.

The war ended, and the palace coup ended like this. Duan Mingyu's last step played a perfect role. This army was lent to Yang Fugong by Duan Mingyu in the Battle of Shouchun. The soldiers under his command only obeyed Duan Mingyu. Yang Fugong would not interfere in this army. At this last moment, no one expected that the famous Tang sword formation would become a powerful bargaining chip for the deciding tripod.

"Your Majesty!" Yang Fugong knelt in front of Li Yan and shouted tremblingly.

"Yang Aiqing, you and I are in a state of justice. Can you obey my last decree?" Li Yan's eyes were bloody and his face turned black. It was too poisonous, and it was difficult for the gods to save his life. "Since I ascended the throne, I have been ashamed of my ancestors and lost to my father. Now the prince is young, I want to return to my division Chang'an, and I am chasing my seventh brother. The army in Qizhou is temporarily led by Song Tong, Tong!"

"The last one is here!" Song Tong's armor leaves all over his body sounded, and he stepped forward and bowed his head to listen to the order.

"You have made great contributions this time, and Li Changfu has already been awarded the title of the governor of Longyou and given the name Li Maozhen. I hope that your family will not be the second Li Changfu..."

"The last general will die in the Tang Dynasty and die in the country!"

At the last moment of his life, Li Yan showed strong vitality. Although Li Yan was unconscious from Qizhou to Chang'an, he was still unconscious until outside Chang'an City, the Seventh Prince greeted him on Wei Bridge, and Li Yan actually woke up.

"Brother!" When the seventh prince Li Jie saw Li Yan's skinny appearance, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Although the prince was in trouble in politics, he was a brother of flesh and blood after all. At this moment, the two brothers held each other's hands tightly.

"Seventh brother, I will hand over this burden to you, Brother Wei..." Li Yan seemed to have thousands of words to say, but he didn't breathe and passed away suddenly.

After three days, the new emperor ascended the throne.

The mourning hall was covered with white space, but the Golden Palace had returned to its glorious appearance. The royal family was beyond ordinary people's homes, and family affairs were also state affairs. The new emperor ascended the throne was a great day for the whole country to celebrate. It was not delayed or brought out a trace of bad luck.

The Ascension Hall is extremely grand. From the inner court, outer court, to Niumen and Yu Street, all the monastery sheds have been removed from white silk, replaced with colorful silk, and decorated with flowers. Only the monastery hall still has monastery, wearing white clothes and white belts, and the eunuchs are temporarily constrained in the monastery hall and are not allowed to walk anywhere during the ceremony.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the officials of the Wu family, the royal relatives, and the veterans all entered the hall in sequence, paying homage to pay homage. Li Jie carefully placed his butt on the emperor's throne, and finally felt relieved.

Today, everyone is paying attention to him, he is the only protagonist. His every move, every word and every action, he is in accordance with the will of heaven. He is the emperor who is tall and kneeling down at the ministers who are bowing down the imperial stairs. He is like a god who is tall and looking down at the ant under his feet. That feeling is really floating in the air.

The visit to the new king was over. Jiang Xuanhui, Cui Yin, Kong Wei, Zhang Jun, Du Rangneng and other important officials in the court led a letter to the subordinates, the two Privy Council, one court, six ministries, and nine ministers asked His Majesty to change the year name.

Following the old rules, the year of the death of the emperor will not change. The new emperor will plan to establish a new year on January 1 of the following year. However, if the old year name is still used, it will be a shadow for the Tang Dynasty today, and it will not be able to carry out drastic reforms. Therefore, he did not care about the old etiquette of ancient times. Under his instructions, the three ministers led all officials to establish a year name. Li Jie, who had already prepared, pretended to let him go and changed the year name to "Long Ji".

Immediately, Li Jie changed his name again.

His real name was Li Jie. The Seventh Prince secretly invited a famous prime minister in the capital to draw a new name for himself, with the single name Ye. From now on, Li Jie will be called Li Ye.

Tang Dynasty developed the country with fire virtue. Ye's name is Hua You Ri, which is consistent with the fate of the Tang Dynasty. In his opinion, it was auspicious. Although the theory of fate and Feng Shui was a bit vain, for Li Ye, who was eager to consolidate the regime, he would not be tired of anything that could be auspicious and brilliant, and he would do good things now.

After the year and name were established, the world was approved and a new policy was issued. The new emperor was very kind, and the rain and dew were all affected. Except for the crime of beheading, all prisoners were released and sentenced to be reduced.

At the same time, the spring examination examination is underway in full swing. Li Ye issued an order to expand the number of students in this examination. The number of admissions for each subject has been expanded by dozens of people in each examination during Emperor Taizong's time, reaching hundreds or even thousands of people. It is stipulated that from then on, this will be followed. This move will naturally be warmly supported by scholars and their families who have been crossing the single-plank bridge and only seeking to enter the officialdom.

In the imperial examination, the Jinshi who passed the same subject called each other the same year, called the examiner the chief, the teacher or the disciple, and called himself the disciple. In this way, a very special teacher-student relationship was established between the new Jinshi and the examiner. The new Jinshi often regarded his success as a kindness of the examiner to him and was grateful to him. Therefore, the imperial examination became a channel for the examiner to form a party for personal gain and establish and cultivate his own power. The Niu Li party struggle in the late Tang Dynasty is an example.

In view of this, Li Ye moved the power to finalize whether the candidates can be admitted to his own hands, thus forming the third level of the imperial examination: palace examination. The emperor became the final examiner and the graceful sect for all new Jinshis. All new Jinshis became the emperor's students and the disciples of the emperor. The only object of their gratitude was the emperor. In this way, the emperor firmly grasped the power of the imperial examination to obtain scholars in his own hands.

Li Ye expanded the number of scholars to replenish a lot of fresh blood to the official team. These Jinshis will all serve in the government in the future, which means that they suddenly mastered a large team of reserve officials loyal to him. This is very clever, and the suggestion is Duan Mingyu and Kong Wei, who is about to take office as the new prime minister.

Immediately, Li Ye rewarded all the ministers.

Although the generals and generals who were on the expedition were rewarded, Chaowu was no exception. Kong Wei, Zhang Jun, Du Rangneng and others were all promoted to the title. If they were no longer promoted, they would be promoted to the title and promoted their children, grandchildren and nephew to the officials.
