Li Zheng established Major General Liu's status in the court with one person's words.
If there were no disagreements with the civil and military officials, there would naturally be no quarrels, and Li Zheng would not need to act like he was trying to overcome everyone's opinions.
No one in the court is a fool, and no one wants to stroke the beard of a tiger who is rated as an unparalleled hero before the emperor's life is on the line.
Because at this time, the emperor no longer had to worry about the nagging censors whispering in his ears if he did anything out of the ordinary.
Xia Gongming, the imperial censor who was a veteran of the three dynasties, knew these things best, and Li Zheng was already the third emperor he loyal to.
Xia Gongming, who had always been critical of Li Zhengheng, saying something was not in line with etiquette and something that violated ancestral rules, also chose to remain silent during this court meeting.
He is upright by nature, but he is not stupid.
At this time, Li Zheng was the real Jun Wuxiyan in the court, and the majesty of the emperor was inviolable.
The civil and military officials looked at Mr. Liu who was standing on the dragon platform with complex and envious expressions. Some of them regretted it, and some were happy for Mr. Liu from the bottom of their hearts.
Song Yu, Jia Youwei, and Du Chenghao are the first choice among them.
Du Chenghao is naturally happy that his son has found the right person. As long as he doesn't make mistakes in the future, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes a highly respected minister.
Although he could not be like Ding Guogong, one person could be less than ten thousand people, but being ranked in the second class and wearing a purple robe had exceeded Du Chenghao's psychological expectations.
People, take what you get when you see it, and don't be greedy, otherwise you will end up harming others and yourself.
Du Chenghao, who has been in court for many years, can best understand the profound meaning.
Li Zheng silently looked at the civil and military officials who chose to obey, with a look of satisfaction in his deep eyes.
Although he is about to die, he is still the unparalleled hero in the hearts of all officials.
This life is enough.
The third princess knelt down beside Queen Nangong Meng. Although she was happy looking at her husband's prominent position in front of others, when she thought of her father's body, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.
God is so ruthless that something like this happened to me.
"Old Zhou!"
"Your Majesty, we are here!"
"Declaration!"
"According to the order!"
The chief steward calmed down his mood, took a roll of imperial edict from the little eunuch at the side and slowly opened it.
"The Great Dragon Emperor Zhi said!"
"Since I came to the throne, I have abolished torture, developed water conservancy, managed agriculture and mulberry trees, and done good to the people, and I have never slacked off."
"Although I occasionally slack off, I am worthy of my ancestors, my people, and my country."
"It has been thirty and five years since I ascended the throne. Although I do not have great merits and virtues, I still have hard work and hard work."
"In my thirty-five years in office, I have never carried out any large-scale construction or extravagance. I am afraid that the officials and the people will do their best and destroy the simple folk customs of China."
"I humbly accept advice, accept elegant words, and do great things to govern the world."
"Over the years, I have been controlling floods and eradicating locust plagues. I have never neglected the administration of the people."
"Exterminate the white lotus to eliminate banditry, pacify the Western Regions to open up territory, promote mutual trade to enrich the people, sail to the West to show prestige overseas, recover the lost land and restore our rivers and mountains."
"One by one, each by one, the imperial censor will have his or her own conclusion. I don't care about the merits and demerits, and I will comment on them for future generations."
"I am responsible for the great funeral affairs, internal affairs, and clan and family offices. In compliance with the imperial edict, I have abolished the old system of burial of living people and established new regulations of burial of pottery figurines."
All the concubines in the harem stared blankly at the chief steward who was holding up the imperial edict and chanting, and Li Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair with a majestic expression.
To depose a living person and bury them alive is simply a matter of great joy to these concubines.
Because no one knows who among them and others will be given a cup of poisonous wine by the Li family clan in the Zongren Mansion and a footlong white silk ribbon to be buried with the deceased emperor.
According to the ancestral system, concubines who have not given birth to children are the first choices.
Some people entered the palace and became concubines out of helplessness, while some people had true feelings for Li Zheng.
But thinking of the inhumane burial, all the concubines still felt a little sad in their hearts.
Now with this imperial edict, although I and others will be 'sent' out of the palace by the new king to live in seclusion in the clan's mansion, they don't have to die young.
After all, the youngest concubine among the others was only thirty years old this year. It was such a cruel and inhumane punishment to be buried with her at such a young age.
Therefore, dozens of concubines looked at Li Zheng with eager eyes, truly grateful to this man from the bottom of their hearts.
"The departure from the north is imminent. After my grand trip, funeral matters should not be extravagant. It does not violate the order of the ancestors. Everything should be simple and save the national treasury expenditure."
"Today, although the national treasury is abundant, the world is so big and the treasury has a lot of expenses, so it cannot be wasted here."
"Recalling the bitter and thinking of the sweet, I should always remember the sufferings of the past and the hardships of saving money."
"In the near future, the prince will succeed to the throne, inherit my last wish, unify the world, and launch the great cause of the Northern Expedition!"
"We must devote all our strength to support the Northern Expedition!"
"If the world is not unified, I will never die in peace!"
"Watch the heavenly soldiers, chase away the barbarians, drive out the thieves and bandits, and revitalize our Chinese world."
"I am the mighty God of China!"
"To create an unparalleled achievement, we must first comfort the spirits of the martyrs of all generations who are still in heaven, and enlighten the descendants of future generations to achieve peace."
"I cannot be that sage king, but I am determined to be a wise king."
"Appreciate this!"
All the civil and military officials came to their senses from the voice of the chief steward, and looked at the dying Li Zheng in shock.
Perhaps Li Zheng did everything a good emperor should do, starting from the day he ascended the throne.
"Long live Long live Long live."
"Lao Zhou, take the rice paper!"
"According to the decree."
The Grand Steward picked up the second volume of the edict.
"The Emperor Dalong said."
"When the prince ascends the throne, five auxiliary ministers will be appointed to assist the new king for three years, and they will return to their original positions after three years."
"Dingguo Gong Liu Mingzhi, in charge of military affairs, household, Honglu Temple, Dali Temple."
"Left Prime Minister Wei Yong is in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, the Department of Agriculture, and the Taipu Temple."
"Young Prime Minister Tong Sansi is in charge of the Ministry of Ceremonies, the Ministry of Works, the Dian Ke, and the Shaofu Supervisor."
"The right to exercise remonstrance cannot exceed the internal power of the six ministries."
"Jingguo Gong Yunyang controlled the six soldiers and three horse leaders and the commander-in-chief of the Anxi Protectorate."
"Exercise moderation and do not interfere with the internal power of the six soldiers and three horses of the Anxi Protectorate."
"Xia Gongming, the imperial censor, exercised the power of reporting on rumors and supervising all officials."
"Appreciate this!"
"I obey the decree, long live my emperor."
Liu Mingzhi, Wei Yong, Tong Sansi, Yunyang, and Xia Gongming sighed silently, with different thoughts. They did not expect that Li Zheng had paved the way for the prince to such an extent.
It's just that Liu himself and others seem to have great power, but in fact all the power is concentrated on the future new king.
Liu Mingzhi's mood was extremely complicated. The Ministry of War was in charge of the world's troops and horses, and the Ministry of Household was in charge of the world's money and food, but they were all under his rule. I wonder if Li Zheng did this unintentionally or intentionally?
How can soldiers, horses, money and food be concentrated in the hands of one person? Even if he only has the power to make suggestions but not the power to oversee the two ministries, this is a kind of authority that cannot be ignored.
Does Li Zheng already trust him to this extent?
Thinking of this, Liu Mingzhi recalled what he had done in the East China Sea, and felt a faint feeling of debt in his heart.
"Prince!"
"My son is here."
"When you first ascend the throne and have great power, it is inevitable that you will be foolish. You must always reflect on yourself and accept advice. You must not be foolish and foolish, and become that ignorant and ignorant king!"
"Otherwise the golden whip in Duke Dingguo's hand falls on your forehead, don't blame your father for not giving you advance warning!"
"My son, I must remember my father's teachings."
"Mingzhi, my son and minister are here!"
"The golden whip your father gave you is to assist the new king and become a wise king, not to help the tyrants do evil. You must not join forces with the prince and make the court filthy."
"Otherwise, even though I am in heaven and cannot punish you two brothers, you cannot stop the people of the world from talking."
"There is a steelyard in the hearts of the people. You two must not tilt the weight."
"I have failed my father's hard work!"
"My son, I obey the decree and never forget it!"
Li Zheng breathed out slowly, and finally glanced at Qinzheng Palace slowly.
"Retreat from the court."
"His Majesty ordered to withdraw from the court."
"I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
Li Zheng stood up slowly, looking at the slowly retreating figures of the civil and military officials, his eyes undisguised as flow.
After all, the monarch and his ministers have been here for many years, and they are really reluctant to let go.
Maybe this break will be the last time we see each other in this life.
"Mingzhi!"
"My son is here!"
"Let Fuhai lead the way. You first go to the observation deck of the Royal Garden to wait for your father!"
The observation deck is the highest place in the palace.
The place where Liu Mingzhi presented a telescope to Li Zheng.
