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

Li Chengqian recalled the process of implementing these three decrees in Xianyang City. It was a bloody and courageous process.

The reason why he was able to successfully implement it in Xianyang was that he had enough military forces to control the entire Xianyang.

With the force of thunder and lightning, he killed all the noble families and corrupt officials in Xianyang. The scene was as cruel and decisive as the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

The remaining officials were silenced under the attack of the army and dared not resist in the slightest. This enabled the reform to be implemented smoothly.

Now, as the second pilot, Changan naturally has to implement these reforms as well.

Li Chengqian knew clearly that after all the complicated matters at hand were dealt with, the reform of Chang'an must be put on the agenda.

He knew very well that if he wanted to avoid being distorted by the pens of writers, he had to keep public opinion firmly in his own hands.

The publication of Chang'an Daily is imminent, and this newspaper will become a powerful weapon for him to convey his thoughts to the people and guide public opinion.

Secondly, there is the issue of the Tang Dynasty’s original military power.

Now that he has ascended the throne as emperor, he has never found the military command left by Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian frowned and fell into deep thought. He guessed that his father must have handed over the military orders to the generals.

It seems that we need to find a suitable time to hold a meeting with these military generals, take back the military power of the Tang Dynasty, and carry out reforms. This is a key step in consolidating imperial power and ensuring the smooth progress of reforms.

The Qianyu Chamber of Commerce in Xianyang is also an important part of Li Chengqian's plan.

This chamber of commerce is like a sharp knife in his hand, and he must set up a presence in Chang'an City as soon as possible.

He looked at the markets in Chang'an City outside the window and frowned slightly. Most of those markets were dirty and messy, and there were serious problems with hygiene and environment.

The construction of public toilets should also be started, which is not only related to the city's environmental sanitation, but also can turn waste into treasure.

Fertilizers can be used to irrigate the imperial farm, nourish crops and promote agricultural development.

The Qianyu Chamber of Commerce has refined salt and snowflake sugar produced by the Ministry of Industry, which are luxury goods in this era. There are also various things such as glass and tea. Each of them is the hard currency of this era. They must be used well to maximize their value.

Li Chengqian knew that things had to be done step by step, in a down-to-earth manner. Just as Fang Xuanling said in the court, governing a large country is like cooking a small fish; if you try to get fat in one bite, you will only end up choking yourself to death.

He looked at the mountain of affairs before him, and even though he had a firm will, he couldn't help but rub his temples gently, trying to relieve the heavy pressure brought by government affairs.

"Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Qi, Chancellor Fang, Commander Zhang, and Imperial Censor Ma are requesting an audience outside the palace."

The eunuch's shrill voice broke the silence in the hall.

"Xuan."

Li Chengqian put down his hand that was rubbing his temple, sat up straight, and his eyes regained their dignity.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After receiving the order, the young eunuch quickly walked out of the palace.

A moment later, the young eunuch welcomed the four officials in, then silently withdrew from the hall and gently closed the door.

"See Your Majesty!"

The four of them bowed in unison, their voices echoing throughout the hall.

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

Li Chengqian raised his hand slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After expressing their gratitude, the four of them took their seats one by one.

"Your Majesty, urgent news from Youzhou, Shuozhou, and Bingzhou."

Ma Zhou looked solemn as he handed the 800-mile express report to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian took the report, glanced at it quickly, and then his face turned gloomy and his eyes burned with anger.

"This Xueyantuo is truly audacious. They actually took advantage of the power transition in the Tang Dynasty to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty."

His voice was low and angry, like an enraged lion.

"You all take a look."
