Chapter 261 The matter of choosing a concubine

 Li Ye stared blankly at Mr. Liu, whose eyes revealed persistence and determination. He had an illusion that came from nowhere, echoing in his heart.

Regardless of whether he agrees with Liu Mingzhi's request or not, his uncle will lead the army to the north to guard the border.

Li Ye couldn't tell where this feeling came from.

Perhaps it was because Mr. Liu's resolute eyes revealed a certain look that convinced him.

The civil and military officials came to their senses from Young Master Liu's roar and looked at Young Master Liu's back kneeling in front of the dragon platform. For a moment, their thoughts were complicated and unbearable.

What exactly supported King Bingjian’s insistence on marching north?

As the civil servant thought, many senior officials on the military attache's side looked at each other and saw the fanaticism in each other's eyes.

Without anyone taking the lead, dozens of military attachés walked out hand in hand holding the Chao Hut, and knelt down on one knee behind Young Master Liu.

"I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an order to go north."

"I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an order to go north."

"I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an order to go north."

The voices of dozens of military attachés were not loud, but they were full of heroic and passionate voices, mixed with the desire to fight in a bloody battlefield.

A group of civil servants headed by Pan Yun looked at the military attachés beside them, with slightly panicked expressions on their faces.

Things seemed to be beyond their expectations.

It turns out that the official in the court who wanted to go north again was not the only one who wanted to go north.

Lao Jiang sighed silently, glanced at Pan Yun who was standing beside him, his expression was indescribably unpredictable, and slowly stood up and walked out.

"Old minister Jiang Yuanming would like to ask your Majesty to issue an order to go north. Your Majesty does not need to worry about food, grass and money. Even if I try my best to sell iron, I will never let the soldiers of the Northern Expedition starve to defend the country."

"Veteran minister Song Yu requested that your majesty send an order to go north. Three days ago, the veteran drafted the recruitment documents and is preparing to submit them to your majesty to send to the state capitals to recruit 200,000 new soldiers."

"Firstly, it is to replenish the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who died in this battle, and secondly, it is to replenish the troops of the Sixth Guards who were lost in the national war in Northern Xinjiang."

"The old minister believes that what Wang said is reasonable. The internal affairs have been settled, and it is time to look to the frontier!"

The imperial censor muttered for a while and then slowly walked out.

"The old minister seconded the proposal and asked your Majesty to issue an order to go north."

As soon as Xia Gongming came out, the Prime Minister on the left and the Prime Minister on the right naturally couldn't sit still. They looked at the back of Young Master Liu and stood up with deep meaning in their eyes.

"Old minister seconded the proposal!"

"The old minister also seconded the proposal!"

On the military attache's side, although Lord Jing Yunyang is not in the court, there are so many generals who fully support him, which has become Young Master Liu's greatest help.

The three auxiliary ministers on the civilian side all seconded the proposal. This situation is enough to show that another northern expedition has become a foregone conclusion.

When Li Ye saw this situation, the expression on his face changed from hesitant to firm, and he nodded silently.

"I...I'm right!"

When Liu Mingzhi heard this, his eyes relaxed and he bowed heavily to Li Ye.

"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"

All the officials also agreed. Pan Yun and others looked at the colleagues around them with complicated expressions, and saluted with their heads held up.

"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"

Li Ye stood up gently, took out a blank piece of imperial edict, spread it out, and began to pick up the ink pen on the dragon table and dip it in ink to write.

After a while, Li Ye dried the ink on the imperial edict, picked up the jade seal of the country and covered it heavily.

Li Ye picked up the imperial edict and checked it for a moment, then handed it to Su An who was standing beside him. He gave Su An a look and signaled Su An to send it to Young Master Liu.

Su An was Li Ye's playmate since childhood. She understood Li Ye's meaning with just one look. She took the imperial edict and gently walked down the dragon platform to stop in front of Young Master Liu.

"Stand side by side with Wang Liu Mingzhi to accept the order!"

"Your Majesty Liu Mingzhi accepts the order!"

"The Emperor Dalong said!"

"The Turks, the Kingdom of Jin, and their wolfish ambitions are eyeing our great dragon treasure land..."

"I ordered King Liu Mingzhi to lead his troops to the north to protect the peace of our country in northern Xinjiang, and to protect the people of our northern Xinjiang to live and work in peace and contentment!"

"Appreciate this!"

"Your Majesty Liu Mingzhi accepted the order to express my gratitude, long live the blessing!"

Su An didn't say anything, but Li Ye was the first to speak.

“Free admission!”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Mingzhi held the imperial edict and slowly returned to his place. After putting away the imperial edict, Liu Dashao just wanted to take out the two volumes he had written. Looking at the civil and military officials around him, Liu Dashao hesitated for a while but finally did not take it out.

.

The five-volume book on national governance and the ten-volume policy on governing the country are the essence of governing the country that he spent nearly eight days writing. Considering the current situation in the court, it is best not to let the officials know about it.

After the dynasty is over, I will hand it over to Li Ye in person.

Li Ye had been watching Young Master Liu's every move. Seeing his hesitant expression when he returned to his position, the curiosity in his eyes flashed away, and he glanced at the group of courtiers below.

"My dear friends, do you have anything else to report?"

"Your Majesty, Du Chenghao, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has a script to report!"

"allow!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, on the day your Majesty ascended the throne, he offered sacrifices to heaven and told his ancestors that he wanted Enke..."

With Du Chenghao at the forefront, the ministers of the Six Ministries and Nine Temples presented memorials one after another.

Naturally, the officials were talking about the new emperor's enthronement this year and the appointment of Enke to recruit scholars. Du Chenghao had drafted the regulations early and waited for Li Ye's review.

Naturally, Li Ye remembered the words he said when he ascended the throne, reviewed them carefully, and played them accurately if there was nothing wrong.

The affairs of the Household Department are nothing more than this year's spring tax. Pan Yun, a minister of the Household Department, knows the current situation of the treasury, not to mention Lao Jiang, an old fox who has been in charge of the Household Department for many years.

Lao Jiang explained the shortcomings after putting down the rebellion, and listed dozens of regulations that made Li Ye dizzy. The original intention was to restore the previous prosperity of the national treasury.

As for the Ministry of Works, repairing the city wall would naturally require extensive construction work. The Minister of the Ministry of Works cried for a while, but Li Ye gritted his teeth and agreed to allocate a batch of money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to complete the repair of the city wall, and then let it go.

Song Yu had just brought up the matter of the Ministry of War, and Li Ye agreed after Song Yu said a few words.

There are now only more than 30,000 imperial guards and more than 10,000 military guards left in the capital.

To protect a huge capital, only more than 40,000 people were far from enough. Li Ye would never forget his father's panicked look and the miserable situation in which he fled with his mother and concubine.

At the beginning, the Imperial Guards of the capital and the Military and Horse Division had nearly 150,000 soldiers and horses for defense, but now there are only more than 40,000 left.

After experiencing the previous events, Li Ye felt uneasy in his heart, and naturally agreed to the conscription without hesitation.

The Ministry of Punishment mentioned the articles of amnesty to the world a few times, and after Li Ye agreed, the result was achieved.

The Minister of Rites held up a thick memorial and looked at Li Ye with a faint smile.

"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the harem cannot be without a master for a day."

"Your Majesty is now ten and four, and has reached the age of marriage. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have summoned me to the harem several times and mentioned to me the matter of selecting a concubine for Your Majesty."

"Now that the government is almost stable, please Your Majesty, for the sake of the country and the country, choose your queen and concubine as soon as possible."

After hearing what the Minister of Rites said, Li Ye's face turned a little red, with a hint of trepidation.

"Just... let the Ministry of Rites draw up the regulations!"

"Old minister, I obey the order!"
