Liu Song walked behind the bead curtain and observed the situation in the hall again, and immediately turned back and nodded to Young Master Liu.
"Back to the young master, all the elders have already entered the palace."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, adjusted his collar, and immediately walked toward the front hall at a fast pace.
When Young Master Liu walked into the front hall and climbed onto the dragon platform without haste, Liu Song, who was following behind him, immediately shouted at the top of his voice.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
As soon as Liu Song's voice came out, the chatter and laughter in the hall suddenly stopped, and the hall instantly became quiet.
All the civil and military officials corrected their postures, held the Chao Hut in their hands, and bowed in unison to make a grand salute.
"I see your Majesty, long live my emperor."
Liu Mingzhi looked down at the civil and military officials standing on the left and right under the dragon platform through Mianqi in front of him, smiled lightly and held up his hands in vain.
"My lords, dear ministers, please take your seats without ceremony."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After all the civil and military officials thanked him, they all walked to their futons and knelt down.
"My dear friends, how are you doing in this new year?"
Upon hearing Young Master Liu's inquiry, all the civil and military officials raised their imperial huts and saluted in unison.
"I wish you great blessings from Your Majesty. May your family be happy, reunited happily, and everything is well."
Young Master Liu smiled and nodded, and slowly sat down on the dragon chair covered with cotton pads.
“It’s good that the family is happy, that it’s good that it’s a happy reunion, it’s better that everything is well.
My dear friends, everything is fine, and the people of the world, thanks to your great blessings, will probably be fine too.
Only when all the people in the world are well, can I, the emperor, be well.
On the contrary, if everything is well with me, then all the ministers and ministers here, dear friends, will be well with you.
My dear friends, do you think this is true?"
The eyes of the civil and military officials under the dragon platform became strange when they heard Mr. Liu's seemingly convoluted but actually profound words.
The civil and military officials looked at each other vaguely for a few times, then raised their imperial huts and saluted Young Master Liu.
"I have learned the lesson, Your Majesty is wise."
Of course, no one among the civil and military officials who can rank in the second class is a fool. How could they not understand the profound meaning contained in Liu Dashao's words?
Your Majesty, he is beating himself up and others!
After hearing the deep meaning in Mr. Liu's words, Baiguan had a faint smile on his face, but felt very bitter in his heart.
Today’s court meeting is the first court meeting after the New Year!
At the first court meeting in the new year, His Majesty gave him and others a beating as soon as he came up.
Then I'm afraid the days to come will not be easy.
Many old foxes have even secretly observed their colleagues around them, and secretly speculated in their hearts.
Did a certain colleague commit something and His Majesty found out about it?
That's why His Majesty gave such meaningful words to himself and others as soon as he went to court.
Some officials even secretly looked at the two elders, Xia Gongming, the head of the civil service and the chief minister of the cabinet, and Rongwei Hou Caijun, the head of the military attache.
I hope I can figure out something from the expressions of these two elders.
Unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed.
The expressions of Xia Gongming and Cai Jun at this time were not necessarily much better than theirs. They also had strange faces and thoughtful expressions in their eyes.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the different expressions of the civil and military officials in the palace through the crown in front of him, smiled lightly, picked up the tea on the dragon table and took a sip.
"My dear friends."
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials immediately straightened their expressions and sat upright in the blink of an eye.
"I'm waiting here."
"My dear friends, today is the first court meeting of the year, why are you so silent?
Why, don’t any of you have something to report?”
Song Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, looked around at the many colleagues who had not made any movements for the time being, and directly raised the Chao Hut in their hands.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have a report from the Ministry of War."
"allow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Song Yu immediately stood up and walked to the center of the hall, taking out two books from his sleeves.
"Your Majesty, after the New Year, all the generals of the Wei Dynasty wrote letters to their senior officials one after another, requesting for the salary of the officers and soldiers in each department in the first half of this year.
The specific details have been stated clearly in the document, and your Majesty is invited to take a look."
Liu Mingzhi then placed the tea cup on the dragon table and turned to look at Liu Song.
"Willow Pine."
"yes."
Liu Song immediately ran down the dragon platform, took the document from Song Yu's hand, returned to the dragon platform and handed the document over.
"Master."
Liu Mingzhi took the document and started reading it directly.
Soon.
Liu Mingzhi closed the document, placed it on the dragon table, and looked down at Song Yu, who was standing in the center of the hall.
"The Ministry of War."
"The old minister is here."
"I already know about this, please tell me about your other document."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty whether the military equipment of the soldiers in various ministries will be replaced this year?
If a replacement is to be made, the old minister will immediately draw up a document and hand it over to the general as the prisoner."
When Liu Mingzhi heard Song Yu's question, he frowned slightly and was silent for a moment. He picked up the tea on the table again and took a sip.
"In the past few years, the soldiers of the Six Guards of Beijiang, the Six Guards of the New Army, the Twelve Guards of the Beifu, and the Twelve Departments of the New Army have not engaged in any wars.
The weapons they are currently equipped with have not suffered any wear and tear except for daily drills.
Therefore, there will be no replacement for the time being."
"Yes, I understand."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, sipped the tea leaves at the corner of his mouth, and turned to look at Jiang Yuanming, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
"Housebu."
"The old minister is here."
"As for the payment of officers and soldiers in various ministries, after the dispersion of the dynasty, your Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War will discuss it together and draw up a regulation as soon as possible.
After you have drafted the charter, please submit it to me immediately for review."
"Old minister, I obey."
"Rongweihou, Wuyi King Song Qing, Qing Tonghou Zhou Baoyu."
"I'm waiting here."
"After the dispersion of the dynasty, you and the three of you will discuss it together and draft an oral edict from me. The golden eagle will pass it on to the generals and generals in each department.
After the imperial court has issued salaries to the officers and soldiers of various ministries, if anything happened to them such as depriving them of their salaries or drinking the soldiers' blood.
Then, they should not blame me for the ruthlessness of the weapons in my hands."
"I obey your orders."
