Nine deep bell tolls rang out in succession in the capital.
People inside and outside the capital who heard the bell subconsciously looked in the direction of the palace. The people understood in their hearts that the dragon, which was almost swayed by the storm, stabilized again.
However, many people in Mingrui were slightly worried. After experiencing this turmoil, the imperial court did not know whether it could find a way to survive in the gap between the Jin Kingdom and the Turks.
In just over a year, the court has been replaced by three emperors. Is this a sign that the great dragon will turn from prosperity to decline?
In front of the Qinzheng Palace, Li Chengbai led a group of descendants named Li to appear again. However, compared to the hasty ceremony when Li Yunlong ascended the throne, the ceremony when Li Ye ascended the throne was much more grand.
Three animals were sacrificed to heaven, and incense was burned to pray to the ancestors of the Li family.
It can be said that all the descendants of the Li family of the Li family were present. The bell rang nine times and hundreds of horses dispersed in all directions, announcing to the world.
Liu Mingzhi stood solemnly on the steps outside the Qinzheng Hall, looking at the complicated operations of Li Chengbai and the descendants of the Li family without the slightest hint of impatience.
Only four of the five auxiliary ministers and Liu Mingzhi were present. The Duke of Jing, Yunyang, was still guarding the country's gate in Shuo, northern Xinjiang, just in case the Jin Kingdom and the Turks were waiting for an opportunity to attack the city southward.
Liu Mingzhi's eyes turned from the altar to Li Baihong, Li Qing, and the fourth child, Li Yunping, who had some difficulty in moving, and sighed silently.
I hope these three people can learn from the past and stop having any evil thoughts.
Liu Mingzhi didn't want this either, but Li Ye's ascension to the throne would require several of their uncles to curb the power of the civil and military ministers in the court.
The new king is young, but the king is weak and the ministers are strong. If no one comes to control the situation, and the courtiers and their families become dominant, the country will be in danger.
Liu Mingzhi really couldn't think of a better way. The situation in the court was too complicated now.
At the very least, because of the incident involving his daughter Liu Luoyue, Liu Mingzhi was certain that many ministers already wanted to separate themselves from him and become disloyal.
As the last bell rang, Li Ye put on a dragon robe that didn't fit well and slowly walked out of the Qinzheng Hall with the support of a group of eunuchs, stopping in front of the altar.
Although Queen Mother Nangong Meng, Chen Guifei Chen Jie, and the third princess Li Yan are Li Ye's elders, they have to be one step behind Li Ye at this time.
The king of a country must naturally have the majesty of a king of a country.
Taking the three sticks of incense from Li Chengbai, Li Ye gently inserted the incense into the altar for worshiping heaven.
Then he kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to pray to heaven.
"Li Ye, the new king of the Great Dragon, appeals to the sky and prays to the earth. The ancestors of the Li family will protect our country, the Great Dragon, for thousands of years."
"Protect me, the great dragon, that the weather will be smooth, and all the people will enjoy peace and live in peace and contentment forever."
"I would like to pay my respects to the Great Dragon Emperor Li Ye."
As Li Baiyu's gift was completed, Liu Mingzhi and the four auxiliary ministers slowly walked down the steps and gave Li Ye a royal gift.
"Long live my emperor."
All civil and military officials hurriedly followed suit and began to salute.
"Long live Long live Long live!"
Then tens of thousands of soldiers lined up on the harem's campus also knelt down on one knee holding their swords, and heard loud shouts.
"Long live my emperor."
"No need to pay tribute."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Looking at the civil and military officials and tens of thousands of elite soldiers at the foot of the steps, Li Ye gestured to a young eunuch of similar age next to him who was wearing the clothes of a chief steward.
The little eunuch was Su An, Li Ye's personal servant since he was a child. As Li Ye ascended the throne and became emperor, his status rose in an instant, from a small servant to the chief eunuch.
Although many senior eunuchs were dissatisfied, they had no other options.
Because they understand that as someone close to the emperor, the general manager is not someone who can do it if he wants to. He must be someone whom the emperor trusts.
Who among the eunuchs does Xinjun trust the most?
Naturally, it must be the personal eunuch whom I have grown up with since childhood.
Su An held an imperial edict and gently swept it away, glanced at the contents of the edict and cleared her throat slightly.
Su An's feminine yet slightly childish sharp voice sounded.
"The Emperor Dalong issued an edict."
"The new king ascends the throne, the mountains and rivers are stable, the world is lucky, and all the people are lucky."
"From now on, we will grant amnesty to the world and pardon all criminals."
"Inform all the state governments in the world that if the people's livelihood is difficult in places, once verified, they will be exempted from taxes for three years."
"The state capital of a moderately wealthy state will be exempted from tax for 50% for three years, and the wealthy land will be exempted from tax for 20% for three years."
"Appreciate this!"
"Long live my Holy Ming Emperor."
"The Emperor Dalong said."
"The imperial court was in great turmoil and the people wanted to be at peace. After this incident, the imperial court was in turmoil and the country was in turmoil."
"Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, relying on virtuous ministers."
"From now on, we will announce it to the world, open up favors, and recruit talented people."
"Those who repeatedly fail in the imperial examinations and think they are wise in governing the country and the people can report it to the state government. I will test it myself. If there is a county, the capable person will rule the county, if there is the state, the capable person will manage the state, and if there is the government, the capable person will be in charge. One mansion.”
“Everyone must make the best use of their talents and abilities.”
"Let the heroes of the world join me."
"Appreciate this."
The civil and military officials looked at Li Ye blankly, and for a moment they couldn't understand what Li Ye meant.
Only Liu Mingzhi's face remained as usual, as if he already knew the inside story.
Indeed, this was indeed suggested to Li Ye by Liu Mingzhi on the way back from Mingzhou. The affairs of Lu Gongwang under Li Yunlong and the staff under Li Baihong and his brothers sounded a wake-up call for Liu Mingzhi.
The imperial examination may not be able to recruit all the talented people in the world into the court.
Some people do have great talents, but they often fail in the imperial examination, which is extremely unfair.
That's why Liu Mingzhi had such advice. As a future generation, he understood very well that there is a specialization in the art industry.
Some people are really talented in a certain field.
Wanyan Feixiong is the best example.
If you let him take charge of the Jin Kingdom, he may manage the Jin Kingdom into a mess, but if you let him use some strange skills, he will definitely be a first-rate expert with few rivals.
This is undoubtedly an excellent way to prevent people like Lu Gongwang from turning their heads as vassal kings due to repeated attempts.
A lesson from the past is a guide for future events!
"Long live my holy emperor, long live the king."
Following Liu Mingzhi's call, all the officials came to their senses and began to compliment him with different expressions.
"Long live my holy emperor, long live the king."
After Su An finished reading the imperial edict, he obediently retreated behind Li Ye. Upon seeing this, Li Chengbai cleared his throat.
"The new king enters the palace and receives the imperial seal."
Li Chengbai had already taught Li Ye a set of rules for succession. When Li Chengbai reminded him, Li Ye waved his dragon robe.
"All the soldiers retreated and garrisoned the capital. Hundreds of officials entered the palace for the coronation ceremony!"
Then as soon as Li Ye finished speaking, tens of thousands of soldiers stood motionless on the school ground like pines and cypresses. General Cheng Kai of Song Qing Dynasty subconsciously looked at Young Master Liu who stood at the top of the hundred officials.
When Li Ye saw this, he looked at Young Master Liu's position with a confused look on his face.
Li Ye's face was at a loss, and Young Master Liu's face was also at a loss, his arms were shaking slightly and his face was gloomy.
"How outrageous. His Majesty asked you to retreat. If you don't obey the order quickly and retreat quickly, do you want to deal with it through military law?"
"Whoever dares to disobey His Majesty's orders in the future will be severely punished by me!"
Only then did several generals of the Song and Qing Dynasties react and wave the command flags in their hands. Only then did the tens of thousands of troops on the campus exit the palace like a wave of troops from the front.
Liu Mingzhi felt the eyes of many officials, and his body trembled slightly. He did not expect that such a thing would happen.
The soldiers only obeyed the commander's orders but not the imperial edict, which was a taboo for the emperor and his ministers.
Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath, looked at Li Ye with a complicated expression, and knelt on the ground with a plop. This was the case for Li Baiyu, except for Li Zheng, who was both the emperor and his father-in-law. A great gift to have received.
"Your Majesty, Liu Mingzhi, respectfully invites you to enter the palace!"
