Nine deep bell tolls rang out in succession in the capital.
People who heard the bells inside and outside the capital subconsciously looked in the direction of the palace. The people understood in their hearts that the dragon, which was almost swayed by the storm, stabilized again.
However, many people in Mingrui were slightly worried. After experiencing this turmoil, the imperial court did not know whether it could find a way to survive in the gap between the Jin Kingdom and the Turks.
In just over a year, the court has been replaced by three emperors. Is this a sign that the great dragon will turn from prosperity to decline?
In front of the Qinzheng Hall, Li Chengbai led a group of descendants named Li to appear again, but compared to the hasty ceremony when Li Yunlong ascended the throne, the ceremony when Li Ye ascended the throne was much more grand.
They sacrificed three animals to heaven and burned incense to pray to the ancestors of the Li family.
It can be said that all the descendants of the Li family of the Li family gathered together, the bell rang nine times, and hundreds of horses dispersed in all directions, announcing to the world.
Liu Mingzhi stood on the steps outside the Qinzheng Hall with a solemn expression, looking at the complicated operations of Li Chengbai and the descendants of the Li family without the slightest hint of impatience.
Only four of the five auxiliary ministers and Liu Mingzhi were present. The Duke of Jing, Yunyang, was still guarding the country's gate in Shuo, northern Xinjiang, just in case the Jin Kingdom and the Turks were waiting for an opportunity to attack the city southward.
Liu Mingzhi's eyes turned from the altar to Li Baihong, Li Qing, and the fourth child Li Yunping, who had some difficulty in moving, and sighed silently.
I hope these three people can learn from the past and stop having any evil thoughts.
Liu Mingzhi didn't want this either, but Li Ye's ascension to the throne would require several of their uncles to curb the power of the civil and military ministers in the court.
The new king is young, but the king is weak and the ministers are strong. If no one comes to control the situation and the courtiers are allowed to dominate the family, the country will be in danger.
Liu Mingzhi really couldn't think of a better way. The situation in the court was too complicated now.
At the very least, because of the incident involving his daughter Liu Luoyue, Liu Mingzhi was certain that many ministers already wanted to draw a line with him and estrange themselves from him.
As the last bell rang, Li Ye put on a dragon robe that didn't fit well and slowly walked out of the Qinzheng Hall with the support of a group of eunuchs, stopping in front of the altar.
Although Queen Mother Nangong Meng, Chen Guifei Chen Jie, and the third princess Li Yan are Li Ye's elders, they have to be one step behind Li Ye at this time.
The king of a country must naturally have the majesty of a king of a country.
Taking the three sticks of incense from Li Chengbai, Li Ye gently inserted the incense into the altar for worshiping heaven.
Then he kowtows three times and bows nine times to pray to heaven.
"Li Ye, the new king of the Great Dragon, appeals to the sky and prays to the earth. The ancestors of the Li family may protect our country, the Great Dragon, for thousands of years."
"Protect me, the great dragon, that the weather will be smooth, and all the people will enjoy peace and live in peace and contentment forever."
"I would like to pay my respects to you, the Great Dragon Emperor Li Ye."
As Li Baiyu's gift was completed, the four auxiliary ministers Liu Mingzhi slowly walked down the steps and gave Li Ye the gift of a monarch and his ministers.
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
All civil and military officials hurriedly followed suit and began to salute.
"Long live Long live Long live!"
Then tens of thousands of soldiers lined up on the harem's campus also knelt down on one knee holding their swords, and heard loud shouts.
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
"No need to pay tribute."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Looking at the civil and military officials and tens of thousands of elite soldiers at the foot of the steps, Li Ye gestured to a young eunuch of similar age next to him who was wearing the clothes of a chief steward.
The little eunuch was Su An, Li Ye's personal servant since childhood. As Li Ye ascended the throne and became emperor, his status rose in an instant, from a small servant to the chief eunuch.
Although many senior eunuchs were dissatisfied, they had no other options.
Because they understand that as someone close to the emperor, the general manager is not someone who can do it if he wants to. He must be someone whom the emperor trusts.
Who among the eunuchs does Xinjun trust the most?
Naturally, it must be the personal eunuch whom I grew up with.
Su An held an imperial edict and gently swept it away, glanced at the contents of the edict and cleared her throat slightly.
Su An's feminine yet slightly childish sharp voice sounded.
"The Emperor Dalong issued an edict."
"The new king ascends the throne, the mountains and rivers are stable, the world is lucky, and all the people are lucky."
"From now on, a general amnesty will be granted to the world and all criminals will be pardoned."
"Inform all the state governments in the world that the places where people's livelihood is difficult, once verified, will be exempted from taxes for three years."
"The state capital of a moderately wealthy state will be exempted from tax for 50% for three years, and the rich land will be exempted from tax for 20% for three years."
"Appreciate this!"
"Long live my Holy Ming Emperor."
"The Emperor Dalong said."
"The imperial court was in great turmoil, and the people's minds were at peace. After this incident, the imperial court was in turmoil, and the country was in turmoil."
"Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, relying on virtuous ministers."
"From now on, we will announce it to the world, open up favors, and recruit talented people."
"Those who repeatedly fail in the imperial examinations and think they are wise in governing the country and the people can report to the state government and I will personally test them. If there is a county, the capable person will be in charge of a county. If there is a state, the capable person will be in charge of the state. If there is a government, the capable person will be in charge. One mansion.”
"Everyone must make the best use of their talents and abilities."
"Bring the heroes of the world to my side."
"Appreciate this."
The civil and military officials looked at Li Ye blankly, and for a moment they couldn't understand what Li Ye meant.
Only Liu Mingzhi's face remained as usual, as if he already knew the inside story.
Indeed, it was Liu Mingzhi who suggested this to Li Ye on the way back from Mingzhou to the North. The incident involving Lu Gongwang under Li Yunlong and the staff under Li Baihong and his brothers sounded a warning to Liu Mingzhi.
The imperial examination may not be able to recruit all the talented people in the world into the court.
Some people do have great talents, but they often fail in the imperial examination, which is extremely unfair.
That's why Liu Mingzhi had such advice. As a later generation, he understood very well that there is a specialization in the art industry.
Some people are truly extraordinary talents in a certain field.
Wanyan Feixiong is the best example.
If you let him take charge of the world of the Jin Kingdom, he may manage the Jin Kingdom into a mess, but if you let him use some weird skills, he will definitely be a first-rate expert with few rivals.
In order to prevent people like Lu Gongwang from turning their backs to feudal lords due to repeated attempts, this is undoubtedly an excellent method.
A lesson from the past is a guide for future events!
"Long live my holy emperor, long live me."
Following Liu Mingzhi's call, all the officials came to their senses and began to compliment him with different expressions.
"Long live my holy emperor, long live me."
After Su An finished reading the imperial edict, he obediently retreated behind Li Ye. Seeing this, Li Chengbai cleared his throat.
"The new king enters the palace and receives the imperial seal."
Li Chengbai had already taught Li Ye a set of rules for succession. When Li Chengbai reminded him, Li Ye waved his dragon robe.
"All the soldiers retreated and garrisoned the capital. Hundreds of officials entered the palace and performed the coronation ceremony!"
Then as soon as Li Ye finished speaking, tens of thousands of soldiers stood motionless on the school ground like pines and cypresses. General Cheng Kai of the Song Qing Dynasty subconsciously looked at Young Master Liu who was standing at the top of the hundred officials.
When Li Ye saw this, he looked at Young Master Liu's position with a confused look on his face.
Li Ye's face was at a loss, and Young Master Liu's face was also at a loss, his arms were shaking slightly and his face was gloomy.
"How outrageous. His Majesty asked you to retreat. If you don't obey the order quickly and retreat quickly, do you want to deal with it through military law?"
"Whoever dares to disobey His Majesty's orders in the future will be severely punished by me!"
Only then did several generals of the Song and Qing Dynasties react, waving the command flags in their hands, and the tens of thousands of troops on the school field then exited the palace like a wave of troops from the front.
Liu Mingzhi felt the looks in the eyes of many officials, and his body trembled slightly. He did not expect that such a thing would happen.
The soldiers only obeyed the commander's orders but not the imperial edict, which was a taboo for the emperor and his ministers.
Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath, looked at Li Ye with a complicated expression and looked a little overwhelmed, and knelt on the ground with a plop. This was the case for Li Baiyu except Li Zheng, who was both the emperor and his father-in-law.
A great gift to have received.
"Your Majesty, Liu Mingzhi, respectfully invites you to enter the palace!"
