Time flies, and the sun and the moon reincarnate.

In a blink of an eye, King Xue had been away from Beijing for nearly three years.

Except for returning to Beijing every 12th lunar month, he spent the rest of his time patrolling and serving in other places.

At the beginning, the county inspection was conducted for half a year and transferred to the Military Metropolitan Office, and then transferred to the local government to serve as the Promotion Officer of a State.

The Promotion Officer is the Second Assistant Officer of the General Principal.

The responsibility of a general magistrate is to supervise the local area and to trial the case litigation. The prosecutor is his helper, responsible for the trial of the case.

Afterwards, he was transferred to the office of the Sixth Division.

After some experience, he had a deep understanding of the place.

For example, what is different from the previous Tang Dynasty is that the establishment and division of power of counties and prefectures are particularly obvious.

For example, in the state, officials such as the Lieutenant, Chief Secretary, Sima, etc., who were all deposed and saved their salaries.

The Caoshenjun, Sikang, Sihu, Judicial, Sibian, Sitian and other Caoshenjun were also merged one by one, imitating the six divisions of the court and establishing Six Divisions.

This is especially true for counties.

The county has six cottages, the prefecture has six departments, the government has six offices, and the central government has six ministries.

Concise and clear.

This has some advantages, which is to allow officials to have a smooth promotion channel.

After the reinstatement of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Shenwu felt that the differences between officials were getting deeper, but he was unable to stop them. The difference between officials was already deeply rooted.

Therefore, he deposed the clerks' miscellaneous households, that is, their status as low-ranking households, and allowed their children to participate in the imperial examinations and do business like ordinary people.

Similarly, in order to purify the officialdom, the emperor issued an edict that more than half of the officials in the states, counties, prefectures, six departments, offices, and offices must be from scholars.

Give these scholars who have won the exam a chance to serve the court.

Although he is an official, the channels for promotion are not blocked. County, prefecture, and government have their own official ranks.

In this way, the monopoly of hereditary officials was broken and the officialdom was purified.

As for the lower-level civil servants, the pen style is still the same rule. Local governments recruit independent examinations, and the court does not have the energy or need.

“The place and the center are still different.”

Li Bangming couldn't help but sigh.

It is the most tiring to be close to the people, but it is also the most powerful. The court is above the top and deserves the local admiration and pursuit.

The prosperity of Luoyang made Li Bangming happy.

This is a familiar taste.

"What happened in Luoyang recently?"

Li Bangming sat in the carriage and asked softly.

"Since the first month of the first month, the prince will be fully supervised. Your Majesty ordered the world to submit the memorials to the prince first and then read with the emperor."

"Your Majesty's heart is hard to come by!"

Li Bangming couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

There are so many fathers and sons who are killed each other in history, all because of power. As the founding emperor, the current emperor delegates power and trust in this way can be said to be rare in ancient and modern times.

"Your Highness, it is rumored that your Majesty will abdicate the emperor to be the crown prince and be the emperor!"

The confidant said carefully.

"What? Is this the reason why I was called back to Beijing?"

Li Bangming couldn't help but feel a little excited.

If the prince is the emperor, then isn’t he the prince?

The excitement remained for a while, and not long after he entered Beijing, he was summoned to the palace.

In the forty years of Shenwu, the emperor was in his sixties, and his father, Crown Prince Li Fumu, was already thirty-six.

This is a family dinner prepared for him.

My younger brothers were nervous and saw his arrival, and for a moment, they were just a few words of brothers, without any intention of being close to him.

After counting, in the past three years, only one emperor grandson was added, and the second brother was succeeded by Liang Fan, and there were still seven brothers.

As for the elder sister, she was named Princess Yiyang and married to a nobleman.

After not seeing each other for a few years, I have become much more peaceful and virtuous with my husband, and I smiled and signaled.

As for the other kings, in recent years, Nanyang has expanded its territory and almost all went to the vassal state. The last group has only been gone for three months.

Of course, there are too many emperor uncles and too unfamiliar with few good relationships.

"Children pay homage to the emperor's grandfather, father!"

"Get up, get up quickly!"

The emperor had a kind face. Although his temples were gray, he was still energetic and his voice was loud and he was not a little older.

He couldn't help but feel suspicious when he was passing the throne.

"Good boy!"

Li Jia glanced at the prince, looked at the emperor's grandson's face full of frost and imitation, and sighed repeatedly: "You have been there for three years and have suffered a lot. You have done a good job and are good."

It was the first time for Li Jia and the prince to cultivate such a method, but there was no way. Without going through military disasters and the difficulties of conquering the world, it would be difficult for the next generation to grow up in peace to become a talent.

The banquet went smoothly and the atmosphere was harmonious. There was no gap between father and son, grandparents and grandchildren.

When Li Bangming saw that the saint and the prince were still in harmony, he also relaxed.

It was not until midnight that the emperor had someone leave the banquet, leaving only the prince and King Xue.

In the hall, huge candles were lit brightly, high in adults and thick in their waists, emitting a faint fragrance, illuminating the empty palace.

This is a candle made of whale fat in the South China Sea and spices such as musk. It will last forever, and one piece is worth hundreds of stagnant.

But in the hall, nine were lit.

It feels like the day.

"sit down--"

"promise!"

The emperor also took off his regular clothes and changed into a long-distance running game, looking quite relaxed.

But the prince who was kneeling on his face looked serious, which made Li Bangming quite strange, and he could only express the same expression.

The father and son sat opposite each other, while the emperor stood tall on the dragon throne, several feet apart from each other. Even if it was as bright as the sun, he was a little dazed.

There are only three shadows, staggered by each other.

"This time you are summoned to stay, and what you are discussing is state affairs and family affairs."

Li Jia said a little relaxedly: "The King of Jin has already been vassalized by Yu Zhenla at the beginning of this year. I have only two legitimate sons. Now, I am the only one who stays in Luoyang. You are the prince in China."

"Son-in-law..."

The prince raised his head and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the emperor: "Let me finish it first."

"In addition, all my sons are young, and only you are adults."

Li Bangming was surprised. These words were extremely profound!

Resisting the excitement, he knelt on his knees with a serious expression.

"This position is yours."

Li Jia chuckled and said, "There is a saying among the people that old but not dead is a thief. For the royal family, an emperor who has been in power for too long is not a good thing."

"Your Majesty is in full swing in the spring and autumn, so where can you talk about an old word?"

The prince said hurriedly.

"Life is rare in seventy years. I am already sixty and old."

The emperor sighed again.

The prince and King Xue dare not speak. The emperor's mind is not good. How can he know the truth or falsehood until the last moment?

"You have been the crown prince for ten years and King Xue for more than ten years. I am relieved to put these ten thousand burdens into your body."

After the emperor felt sad about autumn, he immediately became decisive: "On the first day of the first lunar month next year, the abdication hall will be held, and the reign of the reign of Shaode, which means inheriting the virtues of civil and military affairs."

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

The prince quickly stood up, crawled down and knelt down, with tears in his eyes, begging: "The child's virtue is still shallow and not enough to inherit the throne. I hope you will take it back."

King Xue didn't dare to speak, so he could only continue to kneel down.

Li Jia didn't know that this was a real performance, but whether it was true or false, it would be enough to have this statement.

At least, it is better than being ecstatic. This little patience is not enough for the emperor.

He stared at the person deeply, as if it had lasted for a long time, and for only a moment, the prince and King Xue all had cold spines and were covered in sweat.

"I will not take it back if I say anything."
