"Are there no objections from my dear ministers?"
His voice echoed in the court, with a gentle and persuasive tone, like a patient teacher guiding his students to express their opinions.
Li Chengqian thought that at least a few old-fashioned people would jump out and scold him for following the ancient system and not abolishing the prime minister.
Unexpectedly, the situation was so different from what he thought, and it went so smoothly.
The ministers all acted in unison and saluted in unison.
Minister Chu was the first to step forward and said sincerely, "Your Majesty! This new policy is excellent. Please implement it as soon as possible and don't let the people suffer!"
His voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the court.
"Minister Chu is absolutely right. Your Majesty, please implement the new policy as soon as possible."
Another official immediately echoed.
In an instant, there was a chorus of agreement in the court.
The voices of approval came one after another.
Just kidding, this new policy was obviously carefully perfected by His Majesty, officials from the three provinces, and some ministers.
At this time, who dares to jump out and oppose?
That would undoubtedly be courting death, unless he no longer wanted to stay in the officialdom of Chang'an.
The officials standing on the field were either young student officials from Xianyang or Li Shimin's direct subordinates, and they were loyal to His Majesty.
Others are old ministers who are only concerned about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. They have gone through many hardships just to create a prosperous era.
As for the possible damage to their own interests, it is really not worth mentioning compared with the generous salary from the court.
Back then, when Your Majesty first came to power, you had already taken over all their land, but you gave them generous compensation every year.
Calculating it this way, this new policy not only does not harm their interests, but instead makes them feel like they have picked up a treasure, and they can be said to have made a huge profit.
Fortunately, the fields were taken away by Your Majesty. If not, not only would we not receive any compensation, but we would also have to pay land tax every year.
How much profit can one get from farming? Compared with the benefits given by the court, it is a world of difference.
Didn't they see that the house manager, who suffered the most damage, didn't say anything? What else could they say?
Seeing how enthusiastic each of these officials was, Li Chengqian became unambiguous.
His gaze was firm and dignified as he spoke directly, "From today onwards, the new policy must be fully implemented within Shaanxi Province without the slightest slackness."
"Except for the Shaanxi Province, all the government orders will be pushed down. You don't have to worry about whether they can be fully implemented, but the Shaanxi Province must implement them to the fullest."
"This is my bottom line and the top priority of the court."
Li Chengqian paused, looked around the court, and then said in a more solemn tone: "From now on, the prime minister system will be abolished and a cabinet will be established."
"Fang Xuanling was the Grand Secretary of the Wude Hall, the head of the cabinet, and led the cabinet."
Li Chengqian's voice was steady and powerful, and every word he said was unquestionable.
Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, a minister couldn't help but speak out: "Your Majesty, the King of Wei..."
His eyes were full of worry.
Li Chengqian glared at the minister, and the majesty in his eyes was frightening.
"I have already arranged for Li Tai to be relocated elsewhere. He is no longer the King of Wei, and the Wude Hall is now vacant."
His tone was cold, but he still answered the old minister's question.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The old minister felt the anger of His Majesty, slowly retreated to his original position, lowered his head, and dared not speak again.
Li Chengqian looked around the court, his eyes as sharp as a torch, and said in a serious tone, "Don't interrupt me when I'm speaking. If you have any questions, wait until I finish speaking. This will not happen again."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" All the ministers bowed in unison, their voices uniform and the court suddenly became solemn.
"Appoint Wei Zheng as Grand Secretary of the Shenlong Palace."
Li Chengqian continued, looking at Wei Zheng with trust in his eyes.
"Appoint Grand Tutor Qi as Grand Secretary of Zhaoqing Palace."
"Appoint Wang Gui as Grand Secretary of Chengxiang Palace."
"Appoint Ma Zhou as Grand Secretary of Wanfu Hall."
