Chapter eight hundred and ninety-first the situation is getting better
Young Master Liu had not yet completely pacified Dalong and settled the affairs of Yunyang and the other leading generals in Northern Xinjiang, but he had already come up with the idea of becoming a Zen leader.
In a daze, Liu Song hurried over.
“Your Majesty, General Liu Wei is asking for an audience outside the palace!”
Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses, looked at the helpless expressions of the girls, got up and walked towards Liu Song.
“You should call me Young Master, Your Majesty, it sounds really awkward to me!”
Liu Song looked at Young Master Liu tangledly: "I feel awkward too, but the etiquette cannot be discarded. Young Master, you are now the emperor, so it would be inappropriate to call him Young Master again."
"Really? Then those who serve the emperor are still rootless people. Anyway, you now have a son and a daughter, and you are not afraid of the consequences. How about I ask the people in the cleansing room to invite you to experience it?"
Liu Song's tiger body trembled, his legs suddenly clamped, and he looked at Young Master Liu with a playful look on his face in embarrassment.
“Master, you can’t kill the donkey.
Xiaosong has been with you for so many years, and he has worked hard without any credit. Even if you send him back to the master’s house, it would be better than eating me.”
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and patted Liu Song on the shoulder: "So, if you don't want to be an eunuch, just call him Young Master as before.
I'll go to the Qinzheng Palace to wait for Cheng Kai and others, and let them come in."
“Yes! I’ll take my leave, little one.”
After Liu Song trotted away, Young Master Liu turned around and shrugged at the women in the Wind Viewing Pavilion who were focusing on him. He showed a helpless look and turned around to rush towards the Qinzheng Hall.
“Xiao Chengzi!”
“Your Majesty?”
Liu Mingzhi looked at the little eunuch running over not far away. This was one of the little eunuchs who had not been taken seriously by the palace manager and were left behind.
With the idea that they could be used temporarily, Liu Mingzhi selected some young eunuchs and maids who had just entered the palace and kept them by his side.
After all, people like them are indispensable in the palace.
Otherwise, it’s just like an empty ghost town.
Moreover, Liu Mingzhi had heard about the miserable fate of the eunuchs and maids after they left the palace, so it was considered a good thing to keep them.
Xiao Chengzi was quite smart, so Liu Mingzhi kept him by his side.
“Take me to the Qinzheng Palace. I was a little confused on the way to the palace for a while!”
Xiao Chengzi nodded hurriedly and bowed with a whisk in hand.
“In compliance with your order, Your Majesty, please!”
About one stick of incense.
Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu and more than thirty people followed Liu Song into the Qinzheng Hall and looked at Mr. Liu who was standing on the dragon platform and bowed in salute.
“I will see you, Your Majesty!”
“Sit down without any courtesy!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Liu Mingzhi looked at the dozens of living and dead brothers who were scattering to both sides, looked at the dragon chair, walked directly to the bottom of the dragon platform, bent down, picked up a mat, threw it in the center of the hall, and sat down cross-legged.
When Cheng Kai and the others saw this, they hurriedly stood up and looked helplessly at Young Master Liu, who was sitting with His Highness like them and others.
“Your Majesty, this is unbecoming of etiquette!”
"Yes, the emperor should have the majesty of the emperor, how can he kneel and sit under the dragon platform like us? If you sit like this, how dare you sit down?"
Liu Mingzhi looked around angrily at a group of reserved generals, and raised his hand to motion for everyone on both sides to sit down.
“It’s not something dignified or dignified, but if you don’t feel comfortable sitting on it, we’re still just like in the army, we can’t feel comfortable at all.
Everyone sit down, this is an order!”
“Yes!”
Everyone sat down awkwardly, but looking at Young Master Liu sitting cross-legged in the middle, they felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't let go.
“You have come to the palace to see me, and I think that all the things I have asked you to do are almost done.”
"Cheng Kai, you are dealing with the Forbidden Army. First, tell me how the situation is?"
“Obey!”
Cheng Kai took out a military book from his sleeve and walked out.
“Your Majesty, you asked me to persuade the soldiers of the Forbidden Army to surrender. I have been busy working on this matter these days.
After several days of our siege battle, plus the many days of fighting with the rebels under the command of King Zhao.
There are still more than 70,000 of the 100,000 forbidden troops. The Wuwei has never participated in the battle directly, and there are currently more than 24,000 people.
After the persuasion of the ministers and the Tang Confucian generals.
The ten generals of the Forbidden Army, including Yang Tai and Sun Zhengyang, are willing to bow their heads and respect Your Majesty.
The remaining four ministers headed by Lin Qingsheng really had no choice but to have bad tempers and hard tempers, and would rather die than surrender.
The situation of the soldiers was a little better. They had to serve as soldiers to eat. Now that the overall situation had been decided, they also knew that they had no way to make a comeback, so they had no choice but to follow their commanders and surrender.
The remaining four generals who were unwilling to surrender were still under guard at the school camp. After discussion, the six brothers of the last general had already selected four capable generals from the enemy, the pagoda, the sharp warriors, and the four guards of the Hundred Wars Zhonglang General.
He assumed the position of commander of the imperial army.
Tong Yang, the commander of the Forbidden Army, has never expressed his position, and the ministers dare not deal with him without permission. Only His Majesty can make his own decision!
The specific situation has been stated in detail in the document, please take a look at it."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly when he received the document handed over by Cheng Kai: "Sit back first!"
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Liu Mingzhi silently flipped through the documents in his hand, then gently clapped his hands together.
“Cheng Kai!”
“I’m here!”
“After you leave the palace later, you go to Anyuan Gong’s mansion to pay homage to Song Qing, the Duke of Anyuan. He was the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards and commander-in-chief at the time.
Tell him that I intend to let him temporarily take over the post of commander of the imperial army, and let him prepare in advance and wait for the official documents."
“Obey!”
“Those lieutenants under the generals of the Imperial Guard who are willing to surrender?”
“Your Majesty, don’t worry, the ministers have been replaced by our own brothers. Yang Tai and the others also understand what I mean and are very cooperative!”
“Well done, thank you for your hard work!”
“This is the duty of a minister.”
“Baoyu!”
“I’m here!”
“Bizhu, have Lingyi and the others transported all the food they prepared?”
"Reporting to Your Majesty, they have all been transported back to the army and handed over to General Tang for disposal."
"Baotong, Ning Chao, how did you go about recruiting the rebels under the command of King Zhao to enter the Six Guards Camp of our new army?"
"Replying to your Majesty, 70% of the troops and horses are willing to join the Sixth Guards Camp of our new army. The remaining ministers and two other ministers discussed it and decided that it would be the best way to let them return home.
Firstly, it can show His Majesty's kindness, and secondly, it may influence them and make them realize their lost ways and have the idea of joining our army.
Whether this should be implemented, please leave it to Your Majesty to decide."
“Alright, but you have to keep a close eye on those rebel generals.
If you sincerely surrender and join my service, we will be brothers who eat from the same pot.
If there is any evil intention, do you understand?”
“I understand!”
“Well! Sit down!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
“Chu Jing, how is your cooperation with the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works in repairing the city wall going?”
“Replying to your Majesty, seven or eighty-eight works have been repaired and the final work is in progress. The offensive and defensive formations will no longer be delayed.”
Recommended, [ app ] is really good and worth installing. After all, there are many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!
"Bu'er, are there any movement outside the city among the soldiers and horses under Yong'an Gong Nangong Ye's command and the soldiers and horses under Ganlianghou Dongfang Ming's command outside the city?"
“Reporting to Your Majesty, I have been sending scouts continuously to investigate, and there is nothing amiss for the time being.
The soldiers and horses under Duke Yong'an were leaderless because Duke Yong'an was captured. Seeing that there was no movement from our army, they stationed themselves in the northwest wilderness under the command of deputy general Guo Yu.
The same is true for the mixed soldiers and horses under Gan Lianghou. After His Majesty announced that he would become emperor, they stationed themselves on both sides of the official road, seemingly obeying the appeasement of the Ministry of War."
After listening to everyone's report, Liu Mingzhi fell silent with his fingers tapping lightly on the cold, smooth floor. A group of people also waited silently.
I don’t know how long it took.
Liu Mingzhi stood straight up, and the others hurriedly stood up and focused their attention on Young Master Liu.
“The overall situation has been stabilized to some extent, and now only the situation in the court is left in twos and threes.
Today is April 25th, this month is a small month, and there are still five days until the first day of May.
In these five days, you will do your best to stabilize the situation in the capital and prevent any major changes from happening.
It must be ensured that on the first day of May, my first imperial court since I proclaimed myself emperor will go on as scheduled, and that no major chaos will occur."
“I obey the order! I retire.”
Cheng Kai and his party left the Qinzheng Hall one after another, and Liu Mingzhi gave Liu Song a look.
Liu Song happily walked towards little Chengzi: "Mr. Cheng, let's go have a drink. You will have to teach me more about the rules in the palace from now on."
Before Xiao Chengzi could ask Liu Mingzhi, Young Master Liu waved his hand: "Go, you will all be my right-hand men from now on, and you must get along well with me."
