Valley Emperor

Many people want to pull Qian Yuli out of power. In fact, it is not just Qian Yuli. Behind every minister on duty now, a bunch of people are staring at them, wanting to kill them and take the position themselves.

There is no way, so many ministers want to be in the top position, those local governors want to be governors, the governor wants to kill Gyeonggi and serve as a servant, the right servant wants to be the left servant, the left servant wants to be the governor. To become a minister, and a minister of an ordinary department wants to become a minister of a powerful department such as the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Taxation, and the Ministry of Commerce, or to go to the Inspectorate. , became the minister on duty, a very personable minister.

In the current Tang Dynasty, although it is said that there is already a period of time to become an official, it is stipulated that the age of the official is 60 years old under the third grade, and the age of the official is 65 years old.

However, this age limit is not very effective at present, because the senior management of the Tang Dynasty is not very old. The earliest founding heroes represented by Liu Bagou, Wang Wenhua, Qian Mengjiu, etc. Just over fifty.

As for Qian Yuli, his age is even younger. He is not even fifty years old this year. To be precise, Qian Yuli is only forty-five years old this year.

If you really go to work at the age of sixty-five, it will take twenty years.

But is it possible that Qian Yuli has been in the position of Minister on Duty for 20 years?

Impossible!

Qian Yuli has been the minister on duty for six years, and if he is another twenty years, it will be twenty-six years!

For such a long time, let alone Qian Yuli, even Liu Bagou, who had founding, supporting, Conglong, and other people who were almost the first heroes of the Tang Dynasty, could not have been able to sit firmly in the position of minister on duty for 20 years. Six years!

It is impossible for the high-level personnel to be like this all the time. After a long time, regardless of whether it is because of insufficient ability or to maintain normal personnel rotation, Li Xuan will change the personnel.

In recent years, he has basically maintained the rhythm of continuously updating the duty minister and the walking minister.

During this process, Bai Yunqi, Wang Wenhua, and Qian Mengjiu, the three earliest ministers of the Dragon, all retired from high positions. After they retired from the front-line political arena, Li Xuan did not treat them badly. Bai Yunqi was arrested. Arranged to serve as a director of Datang Western Company, and gave him a lot of shares, Qian Mengjiu was unwilling to continue his political career, and he was unwilling to spend the rest of his life in state-owned enterprises.

This person can be considered to have experienced the peak of his life, so after quitting the political arena, he returned to his hometown in Xingquan Mansion for the elderly. After returning to his hometown, he opened a private school to satisfy his early desire to be a school teacher.

It is not only the civilians who are replaced, but also the generals of the military!

In the military system, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, and other veteran generals from the Huang Zhushan period, have all retired from active service, except for Chen Tufu, a single seedling.

In fact, long before the reunification, Fang Dongquan and the others had already retreated to the second line. After spending a few years in the Privy Council, after the empire had recaptured Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula and completely completed the reunification, Li Xuan in the winter of Xuanping eight years, A large-scale award ceremony was held.

At the award ceremony in the eighth year of Xuanping, Li Xuan appointed five dukes, twenty-six marquis, fifty-seven earls, more than three hundred viscounts, and more than six hundred barons.

In addition to the original nobles who were sealed out, this also made the number of people who hold noble titles in the empire exceeded 1,000.

However, most of the nobles with more than 1,000 people are ordinary reduced hereditary titles, and since the baron is already the lowest, there is no way to inherit the title.

In other words, after decades have passed, the number of nobles in the empire will definitely decrease by several hundred at once.

In the end, the overall number of nobles should be maintained at around 500.

As for the truly hereditary noble titles, Li Xuan has only awarded fifteen titles so far!

Moreover, at present, the hereditary replacement sealed by the Tang Dynasty is not the same as the traditional hereditary replacement, because the hereditary title does not always retain the original title, but adopts a reduced hereditary title to the baron. Cut the title, keep the title of baron, and rest with the country!

This is the new definition of hereditary replacement set by Li Xuan himself!

Therefore, when a duke is granted hereditary replacement, his descendants do not mean that they can always inherit the title of duke, but that they can inherit the title of baron after being reduced to a baron.

Of course, the founding hero will always have preferential treatment!

The hereditary only retains the title of baron, but Li Xuan is naturally impossible to let a few real heroes. After two or three generations, they will disappear from everyone. Most of them are also military nobles, and Li Xuan also needs to maintain the status of military nobles in the country, and then maintain the strength of the imperial military power.

Therefore, there are still some people who have received special privileges for inheritance after two or three generations!

For example, Hao Bainian received this kind of preferential treatment. As the most important general of the empire, he officially obtained the rank of general of the sixth army in the eighth year of Xuanping, becoming the first general of the empire, but after obtaining this rank, he immediately applied for resignation Active duty.

There is no way, who made him so powerful that he didn't want to die, and if he wanted to enjoy the glory and wealth, he would definitely have to be a man with his tail between his tails after the end of the reunification war.

For the sake of political influence, Li Xuan naturally would not approve his application for retirement, but it is impossible to lead troops. At that time, Li Xuan was not the only general who was going to be promoted. Xuan expanded the Privy Council and set up deputy envoys of the Privy Council, but the number of deputy envoys was not clearly specified.

Hao Bainian and the 6th Army generals of the field army who were promoted 6 consecutively, such as Li Chunjing, all became deputy envoys of the Privy Council, and then returned to Jinling City to enjoy!

As for the hard work of fighting outside, there is no need to trouble these military bosses. There are a large number of new major generals and lieutenant generals waiting to make achievements.

As compensation for returning to Jinling and letting go of military power, Hao Bainian, Li Chunjing and others became dukes of the empire, and then they also received three generations of descendants to reduce hereditary status, and hereditary does not replace these two great privileges!

In the unification war, the generals who appeared in the Huangzhushan era, represented by Fang Dongquan, continued to appear on the front line.

The Huangzhushan era represented by Hao Bainian emerged and rose rapidly during the battles of Guizhou and Guangdong and Guangxi, and became the core generals of the 6th army of the empire. It was given to the new generation of generals who continued to rise in the middle and late stages of the Unification War.

Relatively speaking, the replacement of old and new in the military is relatively smooth!

Of course, Li Xuan's control over the army is very strong, but it is also related to the Chinese tradition!

Every founding general knows the allusion of the rabbit dying and the dog cooking, and the bird making the bow.

When Hao Bainian led the Third Army to conquer Hebei and conquer Youzhou, he had already started to write a letter requesting that he should retreat to the second line.

After the unification war, facing Li Xuan's decree to transfer him back to Jinling City to serve as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, instead of being disgusted by this obvious deprivation of military power, he was glad that he had saved his life. , but also to keep his future future and the honor of the family.

Unlike Fang Dongquan, he was kicked out of active duty because he wanted to hold on to power.

Hao Bainian chose to retreat and returned to Jinling City after giving up his military power. However, he was still the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and a general of the 6th Army in active duty. What kind of war is going on in the future, a big man like him will definitely be able to lead the army again.

It's better than retiring from active duty!

Hao Bainian is only in his thirties this year. He is still young, but he doesn't want to just go home and retire, and he doesn't want to be hit by a knife because of his high power.

Hao Bainian is a smart person, and others are not stupid!

Therefore, after the end of the reunification war, Li Xuan's replacement of old and new with the high-level army was relatively smooth. A large number of outstanding military exploits, and no life in the field army, were all recalled by Li Xuan to Jinling City, and some were arranged as Privy Council. Deputy envoys, and some are arranged to serve in various ministries of the Privy Council.

Eight years after Xuanping, the specifications of the 6th Army Privy Council and the Naval High Command were further improved, and the ministers of each department were in the rank of admiral, and this admiral rank could just be used to arrange these people.

The replacement of old and new in the military is very smooth, and although the veterans have taken a back seat, they are still active in the military, and their influence is still not small.

However, the replacement of old and new on Wenchen's side was not so smooth.

Compared with military generals, there are traditional factors that have the ability to hide their bows, but the civil servants do not have much of this kind of influence. On the contrary, many civil servants feel that after the world is unified, they will show their talents. when.

During the Unification War, the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty, like many civil servants in the founding stage of the country, were marginal roles and were not given much attention.

But after the domestic unification, the unification of the world has become the governance of the world. At this time, the role of the civil servants is greatly reflected.

Many civil servants are waiting for the reunification of the world to show off their talents and gain glory and wealth.

But this is only the idea of ​​the civil servants, and Li Xuan's idea is different.

Li Xuan believes that in the early stage of the founding of the country, the quality of the civil servants was really not good. The civil servants who rose up in the Huangzhushan era represented by Liu Bagou were really not good at water quality. Can keep up, but in the later stage, their ability is no longer able to meet the needs of governing the world.

After all, governing a country with a population of more than 150 million is very different from governing a bandit den.

Therefore, in the past two days, Li Xuan has always wanted to complete the transition between old and new civil servants!

However, although Li Xuan did this, Li Xuan's approach was relatively stable. He did not hope that all the early civil servants would be ousted from power. com will not only chill the hearts of the old courtiers, but more importantly, the political influence is too great, which will easily cause all kinds of turmoil that Li Xuan does not want to see.

Now that the empire has only been unified for two years, it is precisely when it is necessary to cultivate and develop vigorously, but there is not much energy to focus on political struggle, so Li Xuan must control the situation.

What happened to Qian Yuli was a result of his deliberate control!

The people at the bottom were dissatisfied with Qian Yuli for a long time. To a certain extent, the splitting of the tax department was also a prelude to their desire to pull Qian Yuli off the horse. However, many civil servants have not understood Li Xuan until now. some political ideas.

What political idea?

balance!
