Today's morning session was a little different than before.
The ministers all moved back one rank.
Standing at the top of the list is Li Mao, who was awarded the title yesterday.
A first-class minister is as good as a cabinet bachelor. But Li Mao stood in front of ten bachelors, and his status was clear at a glance.
Many ministers discussed secretly and lamented the importance the young emperor attached to religious reform.
"If you have something to do, come early; if nothing happens, leave the court!" As Wang Zhonghou sang, the ministers saluted.
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
Zhu Youde appeared slowly and sat on the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you, Li Mao!"
Zhu Youde looked at Li Mao with a smile, waved his hand and said: "Come here, give me a seat!"
Wang Zhonghou personally moved a seat and invited Li Mao to sit down.
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, no one has ever been given a seat. This Li Mao...
Everyone gasped, Li Mao walked into the court again, and was given such a high priority, how could the Tianhua Sect be taken so seriously?
"Your Majesty, Li Mao, thanks you for your kindness!"
Li Mao thanked him and sat down, cupping his hands and playing: "Your Majesty, I taught a class yesterday. Tianhua Sect is extremely popular. The location of this society should also be determined..."
Each religion has its own society, which functions like a fixed lecture hall and base camp.
Feng Bogong went out to report: "Your Majesty, there is an open space in the southern suburbs with an excellent location. I asked the Ministry of Industry to inspect it yesterday."
Zhu Youde narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "The southern suburbs are too remote and it is inconvenient for people to go there. I have a site to choose."
"I want to demolish the business district near Mingde College and expand it into Tianhua Teaching Association in conjunction with Mingde College!"
The ministers were shocked!
The business district near Mingde College is one of the top three wealthy areas in the capital, and the annual taxes paid account for one-tenth of the total business in the capital!
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!" Lin Yun, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out to report: "This business district is of great significance, please think twice!"
Several veterans came out to present:
"Your Majesty, you can choose another area when choosing a location for the Institute!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"..."
The constant sound made Zhu Youde feel irritable. He stood up suddenly and shouted: "I have made up my mind! No need to discuss it any more! Whoever played it above will be killed!"
The sound stopped suddenly, and the minister who had just started the performance retreated to his seat, bowing his head and not daring to speak.
There was an uproar in my heart.
The most important thing for His Majesty is tax revenue, and he always puts taxation first. But today, he would rather demolish the business district than build a society for Tianhua Sect.
this……
Everyone secretly looked at the calm Li Mao, and understood what His Majesty meant.
Zhu Youde glanced around and saw no one objected before he sat down and said slowly: "The Ministry of Industry is looking for locations in other business districts and properly arranges the merchants in this business district..."
This is not Zhu Youde's nonsense, but the establishment of the society is of great significance, which cannot be compared with a business district.
Feng Bogong accepted the order and retreated.
Li Mao stood up: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness!"
After handling this matter, Situ Mingrong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment has been investigating all night and has killed the bandits who assassinated King Yan! They are the bandits of the Northwest Road..."
"King Yan has arrived safely at King Han's fiefdom and is not injured!"
Zhu Youde nodded, his eyes flashed with gloom: "Pass on my imperial order! The Ministry of Punishment will unite with various government agencies to suppress bandits and prevent such incidents from happening."
After a pause, he looked at Wang Zhonghou, and then said: "Get good medicinal herbs from the imperial hospital and send elites to the north to appease King Yan. By the way, we can retrieve the tiger talisman..."
"This is Your Majesty." Wang Zhonghou and Situ Mingrong both accepted the order.
"Retreat!" Zhu Youde returned directly to the Yangxin Hall.
Li Mao thanked En and stood up, stroking his beard and walked out of the palace. Many ministers looked at each other and followed behind.
After passing the Xuanwu Gate, Li Mao was followed by dozens of ministers, including many important ministers of second rank.
"Everyone, what are you doing with me?" Li Mao stopped, turned around and held his hands in his hands, leaning down and saying with a smile on his face.
All the ministers hurriedly returned the salute. How could they dare to let the ministers who were seated by His Majesty himself salute?
"We are very pleased that Mr. Li has returned to the court. The friendship of the past is still vivid in our minds..."
"Congratulations to Mr. Li. Congratulations to Mr. Li. You are a popular person in front of His Majesty. I hope you will have many kind words..."
The ministers flattered Wuxiang, but Li Mao just stroked his beard and chuckled.
"You guys, it's just your majesty's whim. Once your majesty loses interest, the old man will be finished..."
But the ministers were all very shrewd, and they all lowered their voices and said, "Master Li, my dog has reached the right age. I wonder if he can enter Mingde College to study?"
Someone even said more directly: "Master Li, my second son is extremely interested in Tianhua Sect and wants to study under you..."
To this, Li Mao agreed one by one and smiled even more briskly.
Your Majesty is worthy of being your Majesty. He deliberately arranged for him to attend court today. Whether he was ranked first or given a seat, or he deliberately demolished the business district, it was all to highlight the status of Tianhua Sect.
In this way, the Tianhua Sect has gained influence in the court. In addition, the ministers tried every means to send their subordinates to study, which further penetrated the aristocratic circle...
----------------------------------------
In Yangxin Hall, Wang Zhonghou told Zhu Youde what happened outside Xuanwu Gate.
"Very good! I think it won't take long to replace the Holy Religion..."
As Zhu Youde was talking, someone outside the hall shouted "Your Majesty." With rapid footsteps, Tang Huo staggered into the hall, holding a blueprint in his hand.
"Master Tang!" Wang Zhonghou winked with a gloomy face.
His Majesty is still here, how messy is he?
Zhu Youde saw this and frowned slightly. Tang Huo had always been steady, so there must be something serious going on in such a panic. Then he asked, "Master Tang is so flustered, but there is something urgent to report?"
Unexpectedly, Tang Huo knelt down on the ground with a plop, with a happy face and an octave high pitched voice: "Your Majesty, the continuous fire blunderbuss was successful!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Youde hesitated for half a second, his pupils dilated and his breathing became heavier.
"really?!"
He stood up suddenly and helped Tang Huo up, stared at the extremely excited Tang Huo, and asked again in disbelief: "Are you sure it's a continuous fire gun?!"
"Your Majesty, it's absolutely true! I have experimented many times and determined that I have mastered the method of transforming the repeating fire gun! This is the blueprint, your Majesty, please take a look!"
"His Majesty is truly a man of God. The advice he gave to me was so enlightening. It only took three days for me to have an idea..."
Tang Huo's voice was trembling. Zhu Youde summoned him to the palace a few days ago and gave him ideas and suggestions for upgrading the repeating fire gun. But in just five days, he succeeded!
After Zhu Youde read the drawings, he took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, and resisted the urge to pick up Tang Huo and spin around twice.
"You're a fucking genius!"
Zhu Youde smiled and said to Tang Huo, his eyes full of joy.
Although Tang Huo didn't understand what the hell you meant, he knew that His Majesty was probably praising him.
"Your Majesty, what you arranged for me to do before has some clues..."
