Chapter 562: The mountains and rivers are in a foreign land, the sun and the moon are in the same sky
When Song and Qing saw this, they each adjusted their moods and hurriedly followed.
The footsteps of the four young masters Liu walking on the steps made everyone who was waiting quietly outside the hall immediately cheer up and look at young master Liu with bright eyes.
"My dear friends, I've been waiting for a long time."
"Don't dare, I will put your Majesty's dragon body first."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, walked majestically towards the edge of the thousand-level platform outside the palace with his head held high and his chest held high. Upon seeing this, all the civil and military officials immediately followed him.
Liu Mingzhi stopped and looked proudly at the majestic palaces and pavilions in the palace.
"Duan Dingbang, Lu Chen, Ge Gonglu..."
"I'm waiting here."
"Today, although I, the great dragon, stand majestically in the east and look down on the world, there are still countless barbarian and small countries thousands of miles away who refuse to submit to the king.
Therefore, the mountains and rivers are in different places, and the sun and moon are not in the same sky.
This situation is not what I want to see, let alone what I, the Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, want to see.
What I want is mountains and rivers in foreign lands, the sun and moon are in the same sky. The world is all over the world, and the dragon is revered.
This is the result I want. As generals of the Great Dragon, this heavy responsibility will be placed in your hands.
Tell me, can you do it?"
Duan Dingbang and other generals felt the domineering and oppressive aura emanating from Young Master Liu, and they all knelt down on one knee.
"I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, even to the death. Long live my Emperor."
"I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, even to the death. Long live my Emperor."
Young Master Liu heard the impassioned and powerful words of the generals behind him, stared at the majestic palace gate, flicked the sleeves of his dragon robe, and slowly moved his right hand a few times.
"Okay, you are all my soldiers, the imperial court's soldiers, and the dragon's soldiers. I believe you will be able to do this.
Soldiers!"
"I'm waiting here."
"This expedition is thousands of miles away. The mountains and rivers are in foreign lands, and we are far away from our homeland.
One day, I’m waiting for you to come back and have a celebratory drink.”
"I am willing to sacrifice my life and death for His Majesty, even if I die. Long live my emperor."
"You will obey the order."
"I'm waiting here."
"Wait aside until the dynasty is over, and we will leave the palace and return to the camp together with all the civil and military officials. On the 18th of this month, I and all the civil and military officials of the dynasty will personally go outside the city to practice for you, and send all the soldiers on a thousand-mile expedition.
.”
"I obey your orders."
"Mr. Xia."
When Xia Gongming heard Young Master Liu greeting him, he hurriedly walked to Young Master Liu and bowed.
"The old minister is here."
"Mr. Xia, the food and fodder matters for this 100,000-strong army's western expedition only concern the Ten Kings Palace and the Cabinet. I will discuss it directly with the officials from the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War.
At that time, the memorials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War will be directly submitted to me for approval. Wherever the two ministries need to coordinate, your cabinet must give its full assistance."
"Old minister, I obey."
"The Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War."
Song Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Jiang Yuanming, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, immediately walked behind Xia Gongming holding the Chao Hut.
"I'm here."
"After the dispersion of the dynasty, your two government agencies immediately drafted an urgent document to be sent to the governors of Ganzhou and Suzhou. The document ordered them to prepare all matters for the westward expedition of grain and grass immediately after receiving the summons.
Before the 100,000 new troops set out for the expedition, the necessary food and fodder must be prepared in place. If there is any negligence and slackness that delays the military event, I will not spare the two of them.
After the strategy was drawn up, it was immediately handed over to me for approval. After I approved it and stamped it with a red seal, I immediately passed it to the governors of the two provinces with a golden eagle."
"I obey your orders."
"King Wuyi."
"I'm here."
"After the dispersal of the dynasty, you immediately sent a letter to Ye Baotong, instructing him to dispatch five thousand elite soldiers in two directions to rush to Ganzhou and Suzhou to assist the governors of the two governments in mobilizing grain and grass.
Then he sent a letter to Zhou Baoyu, ordering him to personally lead 10,000 elite troops to immediately mobilize the artillery stocks and transport the arrows to Ganzhou, and personally deliver them to the hands of Generalissimo Duan Dingbang, the Second Route Army of the Western Expedition."
"I obey."
Liu Mingzhi nodded lightly, tilted his head slightly and raised his right hand.
"Liu Song, my personal seal."
Not far away, Liu Song hurriedly ran towards Young Master Liu, took out the seal wrapped in silk from his arms and handed it to Young Master Liu.
"Master, seal."
Liu Mingzhi took the seal handed over by Liu Song, looked at it casually, and handed it to Song Qing.
"After the letter is written, King Wuyi, just put the seal on it yourself, and then return the seal to me afterwards."
Song Qing nodded with a serious face and took the personal seal handed over by Master Liu with a respectful expression.
"I obey."
The civil and military officials standing not far behind Young Master Liu on both sides looked at Song Qing who accepted Young Master Liu's personal seal. Except for Song Yu, the Minister of War, all the others had envious looks in their eyes.
They all sighed secretly in their hearts, how much did Young Master Liu believe in Song Qing, the eldest brother, so that he would hand over his personal seal to Song Qing for free use without any care.
Ordinary people don't understand what Liu Dashao's personal seal means, but it doesn't mean that they, the officials in the second class, don't know what this seal means.
It can be said that if the person who holds this seal has even the slightest thought, Dalong will cause a storm that cannot be underestimated.
Of course, after most people get this seal, they don't have the courage to use it to do something that harms others and benefits themselves.
You must know that His Majesty is not the kind of emperor who stays in the palace and never steps out of the door. He dares to use his personal seal to cause trouble, unless he dislikes the fact that the nine clans of his family have lived for too long.
Having said that, it did not stop them from admiring Song Qing.
What they envied was not that King Wuyi of Song Qing could freely use Liu Dashao's seal, but that they envied Song Qing for the favor and honor he had received.
Liu Mingzhi watched Song Qing put his seal in his arms, narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment. After confirming that there was nothing forgotten or neglected, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"My dear ministers, I love you all."
"I'm waiting here."
"Do you have any memorial documents to report to me?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have nothing important to report."
Young Master Liu nodded calmly, turned around, glanced at the civil and military officials on both sides, and walked towards the Qinzheng Hall unhurriedly.
"All ministers who have important matters to attend to should handle their official duties in a step-by-step manner. Those who have nothing to do can just disperse on their own and retire from the court."
"I respectfully bid farewell to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live."
After Young Master Liu entered the Qinzheng Hall, the people outside the hall dispersed in groups.
Some whispered to each other and went to the cabinet, some went to the Palace of the Ten Kings together, and some gathered together and chatted in low voices and rushed straight towards the palace gate.
Duan Dingbang and the generals looked at each other in disbelief, and then all looked towards the Qinzheng Hall.
"Commander, they are all gone, now it's time for us to leave the palace, right?"
Duan Dingbang looked at the majestic Qinzheng Palace in the distance and gently patted the wristband containing two banknotes.
