Li Ye was sitting on the dragon chair, with a look on his face that he was hesitant to speak.
Looking at all the civil and military officials who seconded the proposal, and then at Young Master Liu who looked a little stiff, he picked up the imperial edict on the dragon table and handed it to Su An who was standing aside.
"Send the imperial edict to Liang... King Bingjian!"
Su An received the imperial edict respectfully: "We obey the edict."
Su An walked slowly towards Young Master Liu holding the imperial edict, looking at Young Master Liu with a somewhat curious look in his childish eyes.
"Your Majesty, your imperial edict."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the imperial edict handed to him by Su An with a stiff face. He felt that his arms were as heavy as a stone. He could not accept it, nor could he accept it.
Subconsciously looking at Xia Gongming aside, the doubt in Young Master Liu's eyes was clear.
I really don’t understand what this old guy Xia Gongming is doing?
Isn’t this old guy pushing himself to the forefront of the storm?
Xia Gongming felt Young Master Liu's gaze and smiled kindly at Young Master Liu.
"King Bingjian, I have been an official all my life and have been honest and fair. Rewards are rewards and punishments are punishments. I have no other intentions. This is the reward you deserve."
"Your Majesty has such eloquent words. As the king of a country, how can you change your orders overnight?"
"Since His Majesty has asked Your Majesty to accept the order, Your Majesty, please stop refusing."
Wei Yong and Tong Sansi also looked at Mr. Liu with deep meaning in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, please accept the order."
"Yes, when Your Majesty first ascended the throne, Your Majesty rejected His Majesty and the late Emperor's good intentions. It is really not good, Your Majesty, please stop rejecting it."
Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment, then took the imperial decree from Su An's hand with stiff arms and saluted Li Ye.
"Your Majesty Liu Mingzhi accepted the order to express my gratitude. Long live my emperor."
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Ye glanced at the civil and military officials: "My dear friends, the enthronement ceremony has been completed. Dear dear ladies, if you have nothing else to do, let's retreat."
"I will officially go to court in three days to handle court affairs."
"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"
Su An protected Li Ye and walked towards the back of the palace. The civil and military officials walked towards Young Master Liu with a somewhat sincere smile on their lips.
"Congratulations to Master Liu for being crowned king!"
"Master Liu is a very popular minister. I hope you will support me more in the future!"
"............"
The Qinzheng Palace was full of compliments, and Young Master Liu responded with a smile. He now felt that the royal seal and the imperial edict in his hand were a heavy burden on him.
I was so stressed that I couldn't breathe.
Liu Mingzhi considers himself to be a smart person, with a very good temperament and a good endurance.
However, first of all, the soldiers obeyed the commander's orders instead of the emperor's orders. They were both kings and fiefs, which made Liu Dashao unable to recover for a long time.
The main reason is that Liu Mingzhi now has no time to calm down and think carefully about the purpose of Li Baiyu's move.
There was no fool among the officials who could hang out in the second class, so they naturally noticed something was wrong with Mr. Liu's expression.
After being polite for a while, they slowly left in small groups.
After the officials in the court had walked away, Young Master Liu looked at Xia Gongming, who was walking slowly towards the outside of the Qinzheng Hall with his old steps, and chased after him with two things in his arms.
When they reached a quieter corner above the school grounds, Young Master Liu hurriedly called out to Xia Gongming.
"My lord, please stay."
Xia Gongming paused, then slowly turned around with a faint smile on his face and looked at Mr. Liu who was walking towards him quickly and retaliated with a punch.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by calling me to stop?"
Liu Mingzhi just wanted to ask his doubts, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out.
Obviously my heart is in a mess and I have thousands of words I want to say, but I don't know what to say.
Xia Gongming's dim eyes revealed the slightest sparkle: "Your Majesty, I believe in Ruizong and I also believe in Wu Zong. They will never misjudge the person."
"In the final analysis, Dalong's land and rivers of one hundred thousand miles always belong to the Li family. At best, we are just stewards in charge of affairs. Your Majesty is the one who really makes the decision."
"Wuzong must have had a deep meaning when he made such an edict. Didn't the prince say so when he handed the jade seal to me in the court hall? You have a clear conscience!"
"Since the prince has a clear conscience, what is there to be embarrassed about?"
"Assist the new king loyally and repay the kindness of the two previous generations of emperors."
"Is it really important to you, Prince, whether the fiefdom is large or small?"
"It's all about having a clear conscience."
"But I..."
Liu Mingzhi only said three words in a sentence and then couldn't continue. He felt that there were many things in Xia Gongming's words that were not related to each other, but he just didn't know what was wrong.
Xia Gongming looked at Young Master Liu's troubled expression, raised his hand and patted Young Master Liu's shoulder gently.
"My lord, please take care of yourself. I will take my leave first."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Xia Gongming's retreating figure, the doubt on his face getting deeper.
What does this old guy Xia Gongming mean?
I have said this to myself more than once, but I have also heard others say it more than once.
He wanted to stop Xia Gongming and ask him about the reason, but he really didn't know how to express his doubts. Young Master Liu sighed, silently holding the two things in his arms and walked towards the palace gate.
Looking back at the Qinzheng Palace behind him, Liu Dashao wanted to wait for the third princess to go back together, mainly because he wanted the third princess, a smart and intelligent woman, to enlighten him.
However, after waiting for half a cup of tea, Young Master Liu did not notice the beautiful figure of the third princess coming out of the harem. Young Master Liu could only shake his head and rush towards the palace gate.
"I will wait to see you, Commander-in-Chief!"
Young Master Liu looked at the people waiting for Song Qing outside the palace gate, and his complex expression suddenly turned violent.
He glared at Song Qing, Cheng Kai and others fiercely: "Why are you still here? Why don't you go back and garrison the capital?"
Song Qing and others subconsciously shrank their heads: "We are waiting for the commander-in-chief. Please forgive me for what happened earlier."
Young Master Liu felt the officials looking towards him from time to time, and glanced at Song Qing and others lightly.
"Go back to the military camp. I will settle the score with you when I get back."
The expressions of Song Qing and others froze. They didn't know whether Young Master Liu was speaking out of anger, or whether he was leaving or not leaving.
When Liu Dashan saw Song Qing and others reacting like idiots, one of them kicked him.
"Damn it, you can't even understand people, right? Get out of here!"
Only then did Song Qing and others realize that Young Master Liu had really asked them to leave. With an angry look on his face, he punched his body and quickly got on his horse and drove away.
Young Master Liu looked at the backs of several people and shook his head helplessly.
These guys have become so accustomed to following military orders that they have almost forgotten their ability to think independently.
Glancing at the positions of the officials, Young Master Liu took the reins of the horse handed over by Lao Jia, got on his horse and hurried towards the door of his house.
Du Chenghao, the Minister of Personnel, looked at the retreating figure of Master Liu and looked at Tong Sansi beside him.
"Sir, I am a little confused. What did the late emperor mean by this move?"
Tong Sansi smiled lightly, looked in the direction of Mr. Liu and stroked his beard: "Du Shangshu, will you just watch others touch your family's treasures?"
"Of course not!"
"So, King Bingjian will not just watch others galloping around on his own territory."
“For the sake of the country, you must devote 70% of your efforts, but for yourself, you must devote all your efforts.”
“How can you give your things away to others?”
"The late emperor seemed to have given away half of the country, but in fact he found an impregnable barrier for His Majesty!"
"With an impregnable barrier in front and stable mountains and rivers behind, your majesty can revitalize the country and guide the country!"
"On the contrary, if the King of Side by Side and the Kingdom of Jin and the Turks have been at war for a long time, the forces will naturally...ah...forget it...hehe...I am talking nonsense and cannot be taken seriously!"
