Although Liu Mingzhi had just listened to the contents of the memorial once, he still silently recited the contents of the memorial word for word.
After all, even if you are acting, you still have to do the whole thing, right?
Who told me, young master, that I have an upright character and am a dedicated person?
Young Master Liu concentrated on reciting the contents of the document. The environment in the palace instantly became quiet, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
Liu Dashao, who was still pretending to read the contents of the document, naturally did not know that some old foxes in the court had already guessed that he was the real leader of this memorial.
However, even if Liu Mingzhi knew what those old foxes were thinking, he wouldn't feel any embarrassment.
Opening up territory for Dalong is not only the great achievement of Liu Mingzhi, but you civil and military officials standing in the temple are also honored.
We are all in the same boat, no one knows anyone yet!
Liu Mingzhi naturally had a clear mind. He didn't need to think carefully to know that even if he pretended to reject Xia Gongming's memorial later, the other civil and military officials would not agree.
They will definitely come out to remonstrate, speaking with benevolence and righteousness, saying how loyal Xia Gongming is and how he cares about Dalong's country and the country.
Finally, there is a set of flattery, praising myself for what a sage king I am today. As a sage king of the Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, I should think about all the people in the world.
Then there was a tacit understanding between each other, and the tacit understanding facilitated Xia Gongming's request in the memorial.
With this kind of trick of benefiting others and benefiting himself, Liu Mingzhi could just open his mouth and say several things without thinking carefully.
I, the king of a country, was also one of the big figures standing below. How could I not be aware of the various tricks going on in the temple?
Xia Gongming glanced at the civil and military colleagues kneeling on both sides without leaving a trace. When he saw the old gods kneeling in their respective positions, he smiled silently and bitterly in his heart.
Having worked with each other for decades, how could he not understand what these colleagues are like?
Just casually glancing at their demeanor and behavior, he had already concluded in his heart from the expressions on the faces of these old colleagues that his colleagues had already guessed the nature of the memorial.
As for those young and backward people, whether they can understand what is going on is their own fate.
Xia Gongming quietly retracted his gaze, raised his hand to stroke the white beard on his chin, and shook his head with a smile.
Their eyes are poisonous enough, as expected of all of them, they are all old foxes who have become spirits.
After Liu Mingzhi carefully read the last word on the memorial, he gently put the memorial together and placed it on the dragon table.
After raising his eyes and scanning the quiet and subtle Qinzheng Hall for a week, Liu Mingzhi raised his hand to hold the hilt of the Heavenly Sword, stood up from the dragon chair and walked slowly towards the edge of the dragon platform.
Stopping at the edge of the dragon platform, Young Master Liu looked majestically at Xia Gongming, who was standing in the center of the hall with his head lowered and his eyebrows lowered.
"Mr. Xia is indeed a pillar of the imperial court. His loyalty to the emperor and the country is extraordinary!"
When Xia Gongming saw that Young Master Liu finally spoke, he hurriedly held the Chao Hut and saluted again.
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. This is the duty of an old minister."
Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but raise a domineering smile at the corner of his mouth, and looked around with deep eyes at the civil and military officials kneeling on both sides of the hall.
"My dear ministers and beloved ministers, what do you think of the meaning expressed by Xia Shoufu in the memorial?"
Is there any need to think about it? Anyone with any brains will know at a glance that he is full of benevolence, justice and morality, but full of male thieves and female prostitutes.
It's sanctimonious, just like a fly and a dog.
Do you have any ideas, just treat it as such and still want to establish something? This is something that is not obvious.
Of course, these are just the thoughts in the hearts of a group of old foxes, and they certainly would not dare to say it directly in front of Young Master Liu.
They don't feel that they have nine lives, nor do they feel that they have lived enough in this life.
A group of old foxes murmured in their hearts, and they all stood up and walked towards the center of the hall. They held the Chao Hut and saluted Young Master Liu in unison.
"Your Majesty, I am indeed a model of loyalty to the emperor and the country. I am ashamed of myself."
"Your Majesty, Chief Minister Xia is loyal to Your Majesty and the imperial court. He has devoted himself to serving all the people in the world. He should be a model for others to follow."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I deeply believe what Mr. Xia said in his memorial.
The vastness of the world belongs to the king's land; the shores of the land belong to the king's ministers.
Nowadays, although the small barbarian countries in various parts of the Western Yi region have come under the rule of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, the local people are still ignorant and ignorant as they have just accepted the king's rule.
In order to show the majesty of our Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty, Mr. Xia has given advice and benevolence to the world, and his majesty has spread all over the world. He is truly a great sage in this world."
"Your Majesty, Xia Shoufu's words are thought-provoking and make me feel deeply ashamed, just like Mr. Xia..."
More than a dozen old foxes, you praised him eloquently without saying a word, and you were just short of praising Xia Gongming for what he said in the memorial.
When the group of old foxes stopped talking completely, the corners of Young Master Liu's mouth hidden behind the bead curtain trembled involuntarily.
Looking at the upright old foxes under the dragon platform, Young Master Liu pursed his lips and blinked hard.
Damn it, if you want to be shameless, it has to be you!
If this young master didn't know the cause and effect of the whole thing, he would almost think that what you said was from the bottom of his heart.
What does it mean to tell lies with your eyes open? This is called lying with your eyes open!
What is talent? This fucking thing is called talent.
You can be so shameless, no wonder you are able to rank in the second class and become important ministers in the court.
No wonder the old man told himself more than once when he heard about Renzheng that the people above the temple have the most evil hearts, and it turned out to be so when he saw it today.
My mentor cannot afford to be sincere to me.
It's amazing. I am really amazing.
When Young Master Liu was sighing secretly in his heart, he probably forgot that his name had been popular in the capital for many years.
Whenever someone mentions the name "Don't criticize Duke Liu", no matter whether it's a dignitary, a prominent family, or a common person, no one in or outside the capital doesn't know about it.
It seems that he has almost forgotten his glorious name back then.
Liu Dashao, who had no self-awareness, let out a soft breath and walked towards the foot of the dragon platform with steady and powerful steps.
"My dear friends, do you really think so?"
The old foxes looked at Young Master Liu who was slowly walking down the dragon platform, looked at each other quickly, and bowed to Young Master Liu solemnly.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are setting up a stage for Mr. Xia to perform, and I am not an old fool anymore, how dare you dismantle your stage?
Alas, by the way, why does this scene look so familiar?
I remember many years ago when the late Emperor Ruizong was still alive, it seemed that His Majesty and his son-in-law liked to do this the most.
Your Majesty, we've almost got it, why bother continuing?
"Your Majesty clearly understands that these are the words from the bottom of my heart."
"You are all important ministers who hold great power in the court and are in charge of various ministries and offices. Isn't there any one of you who has any objections to Mr. Xia's advice?"
"Xia Shoufu is very loyal to Your Majesty and the imperial court, and the ministers respect him greatly."
