Chapter 1410 Hundred Years Ban

Parliament, Upper House.

After re-electing, one-third of the 365 senators have been replaced by new members. Naturally, the people who have been replaced by Regent Zhang Chaoxin.

This time, even the upper courts have been re-elected. The reasons for disclosure are naturally for the purpose of law and constitutionalism. Everyone understands that this is the emperor and the minister.

At least the rightists in the past would definitely not be able to stand in the upper house of the Empire.

The 365 senators of the Imperial House of Reichs are also served every five years and can be re-elected for two terms, but each term must be re-elected one-third. The senators need to be a real nobleman and are not in actual positions and have already joined the vassal.

The more than 300 senators were almost all real meritorious officials above the earl, representing the major nobles. At this time, everyone gathered together with the joy of entering the upper house of the Empire.

Although they are still senators of the Tang Dynasty, everyone knows that after this re-election, it will be the House of the New Dynasty. Being able to enter the House of Supreme Court at this time also means that they have successfully entered the New Dynasty of the Empire and occupied a position in the New Dynasty.

As the Speaker of the House of Commons, Wei Zheng was disgusted with the noisy appearance of these people.

He picked up the hammer and knocked it a few times.

The parliament hall gradually became quiet.

"Dear senators, I am very happy to be together with you here. You are standing here representing more than 5,000 real nobles and more than 3,000 virtual nobles, representing more than 8,000 hereditary and lifelong nobles in the empire."

"In the next five or even ten years, I will work side by side with most of you here, working hard for the empire, the country, and the people of the world."

The senators were smiling.

What Wei Zheng said was just some clichés. They knew very well what everyone gathered here for today.

"Okay, I won't say much nonsense. In the future, it's time for us to reminisce about the past. Now, let's do the important business first. The first meeting of the senators of this parliament officially begins. Now we will discuss the fiefs of more than 1,300 nobles of the empire, including Changsun Wuji, and others, and we will start the vote later."

"Senators, please remember that you represent more than 8,000 nobles in the empire. At the same time, you are also vassals of the empire. You must also fully consider the interests of the empire."

There were a total of 1,386 nobles, and they were involved in the replacement of the seal.

These nobles are all rightists.

They used to be royalists, but this time they all faced a new seal.

For example, Changsun Wuji, he had to change his seal to Africa. Some of them had to change their seals faster, but they didn’t have to change to Africa. They just had to change their seals from places like the south of the desert, the Western Regions, the trustworthiness, etc. to Liaobei, the Xihai and other places.

In fact, everyone also understood that Changsun Wuji and others had already surrendered to the regent, and they had agreed to change the seal.

Now I have been brought to the upper yard, but I just come to go through a procedure.

But the Regent is a person who cares a lot about this procedure.

After passing the upper court, it would be better to change the seal, take back the fief, reduce the title, and reduce the title, etc., all of them were unanimous decisions made by all the representatives of Guizhou.

"The Prince of Yili, Changsun Wuji, was originally enfeoffed in the north of the Yili River Valley in Tianshan Mountains, with a fiefdom of more than 1,200 miles. The current parliament requested that he be replaced to the Xinliuqiu Island in Africa, and his title was reduced to Xinliuqiuhou Hou, with a fiefdom of 1,200 miles. He can have two thousand territory guards!"

A secretary read out on stage.

The first one is Changsun Wuji.

The Changsun clan of Luoyang, one of the eight nobles of Zhenguan, was once the confidant of the Supreme Emperor, but now he can't escape the end of being exiled overseas.

Many senators sighed at his result and thought he was lucky. They met a kind person like Zhang Chao, otherwise no other founding emperor would have a good end to someone like Changsun.

The prince was demoted to the county marquis, and the fief of 1,200 miles was reduced to 1,200 miles.

It is still in the distant Africa that Changsun’s family in Luoyang cannot turn over again.

As for this Xinliuqiu, it is said to be a very huge island, on the east coast of Africa. I heard that Fujian and Zhejiang are even bigger together.

"Now everyone can speak freely, Chen Shu has seen it."

No one is upset for Changsun Wuji. If it were the upper court before the re-election, some rightists would probably say a few words to Changsun in grief. But now, the upper court is full of firm supporters of the regent, so who would speak for Changsun?

Someone stood up and spoke.

But he didn't speak for him, but thought that Changsun was treated too well.

We should not retain titles and fiefs for such people. We don’t need to change the titles and directly assign the Changsun family to the court’s Lingdong Road to open up the land and guard the border. All their titles and fiefs will be taken back.

There are still many people who have this attitude.

Since he has broken up, he should naturally get rid of the roots. Why give Changsun Wuji a chance to make a comeback? Even if it is a desert island in Africa, it cannot be cheaper, let alone let him run away with his property.

As the discussion became more and more overheated, Wei Zheng had to knock on the wooden hammer several times to bring back the topic of the senators.

Otherwise, if we continue to discuss, we will have to kill the Changsun family, who should be killed, who should be reborn, and who will be in the palace.

No matter what, Zhang Chao made this decision.

Wei Zheng himself agreed that this was not a problem of the kindness of women, but Zhang Chao's gentle handling could make this dynasty change that should not have happened, and to be more peaceful and avoid rebellion and conflict.

Now that Changsun and others have a way out, they can only be willing to leave the Central Plains. Otherwise, they will definitely fight to the death. Even if they fight to the death, they will definitely lose the final outcome, but there is no need to hurt the innocent.

Every war will cause a lot of losses and a very bad impact.

"Start the vote now!"

The secretary began to call.

Click to a senator, the senator stands up and votes.

"Agree!" The senator raised his hand and his thumb was facing up.

The last two-thirds of the senators expressed their approval, but about one-third expressed their opposition. However, their opposition was that Changsun should not be replaced, but instead directly exiled him.

"The reasons for opposing the senators will be recorded." Wei Zheng explained to the clerk.

The parliamentary vote can be passed if more than half of the votes are passed. Now more than two-thirds of the people have passed, so Changsun Wuji's reduction of titles and land will of course be passed.

Then the second proposal for renewal of seals was announced, discussed and voted on, the second one was Changsun Shunde.

There is only one Changsun family, they have more than 70 real titles and more than 100 virtual titles. This huge Luoyang Changsun family has no less than 300 males. Their family has one royal title, three dukes, seven or eight county dukes, and more than a dozen mausoleums, and a bunch of sons.

Now, these real titles have been reduced and reduced titles, and even virtual titles have been reduced.

A true baron has only ten miles of fiefs left, a viscount has only twenty miles and an earl has thirty miles.

Only Changsun Wuji in the Changsun family retained the marquis, and there were only three earls down, and the rest were all sons. The Count was the highest for the title of virtual title.

The fiefs of the Changsun family's titles are mostly on Xinliuqiu Island and around the islands.

Hundreds of noble families, including Changsun family, Hongnong Yang family, Jingzhao Wei family, Du family, Hedong Pei family, Jiangnan Xiao family, etc., were uprooted this time.

Except for some families and some children who are on Zhang Chao's side, they keep one or two branches in the Central Plains, almost all of them will be moved overseas.

For example, the Yang family of Hongnong is a famous family in Guanxi, a family of the Han Dynasty, and the royal family of the Sui Dynasty. At this time, the royal family of the Sui Dynasty only retained Yang Shidao, and the one of Yang Su's back then was preserved by Yang Hongli.

Of course, if we want to say that among the families that were moved this time, the biggest one is naturally the Li Tang royal family.

Since Li Shimin and Li Zhi moved from the Central Plains last time, this time, from Emperor Chengqian to Li Daozong and other royal families, the entire royal family, and the Central Plains, were not left, and hundreds of schools of various sects were moved away.

Their titles were also demoted and their fiefs were reduced.

Emperor Chengqian has been designated as the King of Tang and has not been discussed and voted this time, but the others have been decided to be reduced and moved.

After the discussion, the entire family simply voted together.

There are more than one thousand titles of marquis, more than five hundred titles of real titles, and more than eight hundred titles of virtual titles.

One by one, the ruling was passed, and the title was reduced and the seal was replaced.

The empire had more than 8,000 nobles, and this was absent from more than 1,300. Although these people had a baron at the lowest level, they were actually disqualified from their membership for three generations. They retained the title of aristocratic, but they could not enter the aristocratic house like other nobles. They had neither the right to be elected as senators nor the right to elect senators.

They were even asked not to return to the Central Plains within three generations, nor could they even send people back to the Central Plains to do business.

Three generations, this is a ban that has been in the past hundred years.

The decision was made in half a day after the reduction of titles and replacement of titles by more than 1,300 nobles.

All passed in the Noble House.

Wei Zheng looked at the box of resolution records and was stunned for a moment.

"Carry these up and go to the cabinet."

Cabinet, Regent Zhang Chao looked at the records.

With these, Changsun Wuji and others were really completely swept out of the Central Plains, and they were not allowed to return to the Central Plains within a hundred years.

In this century, they may be able to gain a foothold there or even make a career, but they will no longer affect the Central Plains Empire in a century.

Moreover, their exile was not the order of Zhang Chao or the order of the new empire, but the Tang Empire, and the collective decision of the senators of the aristocratic academy.

There were also some reports on his desk.

That was the report sent back by the generals below. Changsun and others had ordered the soldiers in the fiefdom to be disarmed, and they all handed over the fiefdom as promised.

Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and other royalists, as well as their families, have completely compromised, and they can no longer pose any threat to Zhang Chao and his new empire.
