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... Your Majesty, General Six Guards is asking for an audience outside the palace!"
Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses, looked at the helpless expressions of the girls, stood up and walked towards Liu Song.
"You'd better 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 there is no credit but hard work. Even if you send the little one back to the master's house, it is 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 Hall and wait for Cheng Kai and others. Let them come in. "
"Yes...yes! Please excuse me, little one."
After Liu Song trotted away, Young Master Liu turned around and shrugged at the women in the Wind Appreciation Pavilion who had their eyes on him. He showed a helpless look and turned around to rush towards the Qinzheng Hall.
"Little Chengzi!"
"His 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 with him.
After all, people like them are indispensable in the palace.
Otherwise, it would be 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 clever, so Liu Mingzhi kept him by his side.
"Take me to the Qinzheng Palace. I was still a little confused on the way to the palace for a while!"
Xiao Chengzi nodded hurriedly and bowed with a whisk in hand.
"As ordered, Your Majesty, please!"
About one stick of incense.
More than thirty people, including Cheng Kai and Zhou Baoyu, 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!"
"Free admission!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the dozens of living and dead brothers who were dispersing to both sides, looked at the dragon chair, and walked directly to the bottom of the dragon platform. He bent down, picked up a cushion, 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 at loss as to Young Master Liu, who was sitting with His Highness like them and others.
"Your Majesty, what you're doing... what you're doing... 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 dignified, it's uncomfortable to sit on it, we're just like in the army, we can't feel comfortable.
Everyone sit down, this is an order! "
"Yes...according to the order!"
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 entered the palace to ask for an audience with me. I guess the things I told you are almost done."
"Cheng Kai, you are dealing with the Forbidden Army. First, tell me how the situation is?"
"According to the order!"
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 King Zhao's command.
There are still more than 70,000 of the 100,000 forbidden troops. The Wuwei has never participated in the battle head-on. Currently, there are still more than 24,000 people.
After the persuasion of the ministers and General Ru of Tang Dynasty.
The top ten generals of the Forbidden Army, including Yang Tai, Sun Zhengyang... six of them are willing to bow their heads and respect His Majesty.
The other four ministers headed by Lin Qingsheng really had no choice but to have bad tempers and tough tempers, and would rather die than surrender.
The situation of the soldiers was a little better. They had to serve as soldiers to make a living. Now that the overall situation had been decided, they also understood that there was 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-guard Zhonglang general. He took the post of commander of the imperial army on his behalf.
Tong Yang, the commander of the Forbidden Army, has never expressed his position, and I 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 as he received the document handed over by Cheng Kai: "Sit back first!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Mingzhi silently read through the documents in his hand, then gently clapped his palms together.
"Cheng Kai!"
"I'm here!"
"After leaving the palace later, you go to Anyuan Gong's mansion to meet Song Qing, who 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. "
"According to the order!"
"Those lieutenants under the generals of the Forbidden Army who are willing to surrender?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have replaced you with 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 my duty."
"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 King Zhao to join the Six Guards Camp of our new army?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, 70% of the soldiers and horses are willing to join the Sixth Guards Camp of our new army. The remaining ministers and others discussed it and decided that it would be the best way to let them go 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.
It is up to Your Majesty to decide whether to implement it in this way. "
"That's right, but you have to keep an eye on those rebel generals.
If you sincerely surrender and join me, we will be brothers who eat from the same pot.
If there are evil intentions... Do you understand? "
"I understand!"
"Yeah! Sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Chu Jing, how is your cooperation with the Ministry of Housing and Industry in repairing the city wall going?"
"Replying to your Majesty, the repairs have been completed and the final work is in progress. The offensive and defensive formations will no longer be delayed."
"Buer, are there any movement outside the city by the soldiers and horses under Gong Nangong Ye of Yong'an and the soldiers and horses under Ganlianghou Dongfang Ming?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, I have been sending scouts to investigate continuously, 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 our army had no movement, they stationed themselves honestly in the northwest wilderness under the command of deputy general Guo Yu.
The same was true for the mixed soldiers and horses under the command of Gan Lianghou. After His Majesty announced that he would become emperor, they stationed themselves on both sides of the official road, seemingly obeying the comfort of the Ministry of War. "
After Liu Mingzhi listened to everyone's report, he gently tapped his fingers on the cold and smooth floor and became silent. A group of people also waited silently.
I don’t know how long it took.
Liu Mingzhi stood straight, and the others hurriedly stood up and focused their attention on Young Master Liu.
"The overall situation has been stabilized, and now only the situation in the court is left in twos and threes.
Today is April 25th, this month is Xiaoyue, 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.
We must ensure that on the first day of May, my first imperial court meeting since I proclaimed myself emperor will go on as scheduled, and that no major chaos will occur. "
"I obey the order! I excuse myself."
Cheng Kai and his party left Qinzheng Hall one after another, and Liu Mingzhi gave Liu Song a look.
Liu Song happily walked towards little Chengzi: "Eunuch Cheng, let's go have a drink. You will have to teach me more about the rules of the palace in the future."
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."
"Obey...obey the order!"
