I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Li Shimin was also sitting in the carriage and saw the young officials outside through the gap in the curtain.

He seemed to be thinking about something, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Xuanling, the situation seems to be different from what I expected?"

Originally, Li Shimin thought that since Cheng Qian had killed so many officials last night, there should only be a few old ministers outside the palace gate today. The scene was dead and bleak, like the fallen leaves in late autumn.

But I didn't expect that the outside was such a lively and vibrant scene.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I don't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found so many young people to serve as officials, and I don't know what their abilities are."

Fang Xuanling looked at these new faces with interest, his eyes full of curiosity.

Li Shimin originally wanted to say that these people were probably conscripted by Li Chengqian.

But when he thought of his son, he was afraid that he would be slapped in the face again as soon as he said this, so he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and just watched silently.

"Forget it. Xuanling, I won't show up today. I'd rather go to your house. It's a good opportunity for you to go to court and see the abilities of these young people."

There was a hint of anger in Li Shimin's tone.

"I guess I can't compare to my ministers."

Listening to Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling knew that His Majesty was angry with the Crown Prince again. He smiled slightly and didn't say much, just nodded.

Inside the Taiji Hall, today's court seemed much more relaxed than yesterday's.

This is mainly because of the new rule Li Chengqian made yesterday - to go to work at 9:00 PM.

Sishi, or nine o'clock in the morning, was undoubtedly a great benefit for these officials. Gone were the days of having to set out at three in the morning and waiting anxiously at the palace gate.

Nine o'clock in the morning, this more humane court time, made the officials feel relieved and made the atmosphere in the entire court less depressing.

Li Chengqian was dressed in red and walked into the hall with a nimble figure. His steps were a little casual, but with a unique confidence.

He slowly sat on the dragon throne with a calm expression.

In front of the Prime Minister, the head of all officials, stood Mr. Qi, who was equally casual.

Mr. Qi looked exhausted. He had been exhausted the previous night. He had barely slept the entire night, busy arranging various official posts and arranging those vacant positions.

Because Li Chengqian had not yet officially ascended the throne, he did not wear the dragon robe. He was even too lazy to wear the prince's clothes, thinking it was too cumbersome.

He just casually wore a red casual dress when he came to court. The red dress looked particularly dazzling, like a flame.

"My dear ministers, I have something to announce today."

Li Chengqian's voice echoed in the hall, clear and loud.

"Everyone, there is no need to be confused. You are all the pillars of our Tang Dynasty. The officials who are not here today will not come again in the future. The faces you see now are here to replace them."

His words caused a flurry of whispers in the court, but because 50% of them were young officials promoted by Li Chengqian, these young people's eyes were full of excitement and expectation, so it did not cause any big disturbance.

"From today onwards, for the next three years, the format of court sessions will be changed. I don't need you to refute me. What you need to do is very simple. I will give you orders, and you will carry them out. Of course, if you have any good suggestions, you can submit them to me."

Li Chengqian's eyes became sharp as he glanced at the ministers below.

The audience fell silent, no one spoke out to refute him. Even Wei Zheng, who was always outspoken and courageous in his criticism, remained silent. He stood there quietly, deep in thought.

Seeing this situation, naturally no one else would jump out.

"I will wait for your instructions."

The young officials took the lead in receiving the orders, their voices were in unison, loud and full of vigor.
