Liu Mingzhi looked at the group of old foxes who had chosen to surrender under the dragon platform, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He actually knew very well that it was simply impossible to convince these old foxes to be sincerely convinced of him in such a short period of time.
However, some things only happen zero times and countless times.
As long as they surrender the first time, they will surrender many more times in the future.
Liu Mingzhi is confident that sooner or later these old foxes will truly be convinced of his personality charm.
For example, leading them to unify the world and look to the West.
As long as they can start their long-term vision of the West before they retire and return home.
Liu Mingzhi firmly believes that no one will refuse the opportunity presented to him to make his name in history. Life in this world is nothing more than fame and fortune.
These old foxes are in the second class and have been in power for so many years, so they are more or less unclean.
Even Xia Gongming, who is famous for his uprightness, Liu Mingzhi dares to conclude that the bottom of this old guy's ass will never be clean or dirty.
They already have the profit, and all they care about is reputation.
At the very least, Liu Mingzhi had a rough judgment in his mind.
His uncles, Song Yu, Minister of War, Jiang Yuanming, Minister of Household Affairs, Wang He, Minister of Honglu Temple, Minister of Dali Temple... In fact, these few masters are not that disgusted with him proclaiming himself emperor.
Over time, if they slowly get used to it, they will get used to the change in status.
Du Chenghao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Ye Kaiyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Qin Ziying, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Personnel... The sons of these people are inextricably related to themselves.
As long as their sons Du Yu, Sun Mingfeng, and Ye Jinghui are still close to them, these old guys still can't get rid of their relationship with them.
It is only a matter of time before you slowly convince yourself.
After all, their son is with them and is nominally a minister of the dragon.
I want to get rid of myself, unless I want to see my family slowly decline without the support of me, the pillar of the family, after I and others retire and return to their hometown.
Among the nine great temple ministers, two of them have been friendly with me in the past, and the remaining seven ministers will just have to grind it out slowly.
As for officials in other ministries.
Liu Mingzhi thought about it and glanced at the left and right Prime Minister Wei Yong and Tong Sansi inadvertently.
Although Tong Sansi, his nominal half-senior brother, has repeatedly impeached him, he is fairly fair and not a particularly difficult person to control.
On the contrary, the left prime minister Wei Yong, who was known as a treacherous minister, had dealt with him more than once. He was an unpredictable old fox who seemed easy to get along with, but in fact he was full of flies and dogs.
To sum up, he is a real villain.
Among the hundreds of officials in the dynasty, Liu Mingzhi was determined to immediately clear out some officials who were not optimistic when he was an official in the same dynasty.
However, reason tells Liu Mingzhi that it is absolutely inappropriate to act like this at this moment.
Now the court needs stability, and you must take your seat firmly.
When settling accounts after autumn, do it slowly. Some things will be self-defeating if done too hastily.
On the military attaché side.
Thinking of this, Liu Mingzhi turned his attention to a group of familiar military attachés in the audience.
In the past, the main military attachés were Mr. Wan Buhai, Duke of Wu State.
Mr. Wan took the coffin and went out to collect the land of Heshuo and Hetao. The deadline was approaching and the body was returned wrapped in horse leather.
In terms of military attachés, the main ones were Yunyang, Duke of Jing, and Wan Mingliang, the father-in-law of his eldest brother Song Qing, the new Duke of Wu, and the general of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang.
It's just that neither he nor the veterans like Yunyang have been in the temple for a long time because Dalong has been fighting every year in recent years.
On the military attaché side, most of them were veterans such as Rongwei Hou Cai Jun, Guan Ning Hou Lu Tao, Jingyuan Hou Chen Jin, who had been idle for many years.
If we weigh it carefully, the problem with generals is not too big.
After all, a large number of generals under his command are already qualified to enter temples and enjoy glory and wealth.
A slight promotion would be enough for the military attache to have a strong situation with both hands.
After thinking silently for a while, the pressure on Liu Mingzhi slowly relaxed a little.
The only troublesome people now are the Li clan, Laoshuai Yun, Zhang Kuang and the others, who are the generals commanding heavy troops at the northern border.
It is still unclear whether they will recognize their act of proclaiming themselves emperor.
However, northern Xinjiang was still under his control, and the capital city was captured by himself.
Once Marshal Yun and the rest of the five generals except Nangong Ye refuse to accept his act of proclaiming himself emperor, he can cut off their food and grass, force them to surrender and slowly take them under his own pressure.
Heart.
In this way, the problem of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang is not a big problem.
Cousin Zhang Mo has Rongrong weighing in on him, and he can slowly be taken over.
Then, the only troubles left are the Li clan and the royal family members.
Liu Mingzhi fell silent as he glanced lightly at Prince Qing, the brothers who were Prince Yun, and Prince Zhao Li Tao who were all looking at him with an inexplicable meaning in their eyes.
How to deal with the Li clan, a force with little power but great influence, has become his most difficult problem at the moment.
Cutting off the roots?
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly shook his head and dealt with the Li clan members for no reason. It seemed that it relieved his immediate worries, but in fact the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.
After all, he is a rebellious relative, and his surname is Liu rather than Li!
We can only take one step at a time.
Let’s see how they perform first.
If they want to be killed, they have to commit suicide themselves.
Liu Mingzhi thought about it and suddenly pinched his thigh, looking at the officials under the dragon platform in a daze.
When did my character become so insidious? In the past, I used to play tricks. None of the officials present had ever played tricks. However, the tricks I played would never treat human life like this...
.
Liu Mingzhi stood up in a daze, looked down at the dragon chair behind him for a while, frowned and pondered.
After a long time, Liu Mingzhi breathed out gently.
"Ministry of Etiquette!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is here!"
"Draw up a plan to tell the world about my self-proclaimed emperor, so that all people can celebrate together!"
"I obey the decree."
"Xingbu, Dali Temple!"
"I'm here!"
"A general amnesty will be granted to the whole world. All those who are not heinous will be spared from the pain of prison."
"I obey the decree!"
"Ministry of Industry and Household Affairs!"
"I'm here!"
"The two departments joined forces to repair the city wall and the things in the city that were damaged by the war."
"I obey the decree."
"Military Department!"
"I'm here!"
"In the name of the King of Zhao, appease the soldiers and horses under his command, and then use the Ministry of War to draw up strategies and order Gan Lianghou and his army to station on the spot. If they do not comply, we will cooperate with the officials to remove the general Dongfang Ming Xiao Guowei and retain his position.
Marquis of Ganliang, disarm and return home!"
"Obey...obey the decree!"
"Official staff!"
"I'm here!"
To be continued...
