The next day.
After washing, Liu Mingzhi, who was still energetic, looked at the two women who were huddled in the brocade quilt and did not dare to show their heads, smiling and putting on their own clothes.
Although last night was a romantic affair involving one dragon and two men, sisters Xue Bizhu were new to dating after all, and they were far behind Qi Yun and other sisters who were already charming to the core.
Coupled with the fact that he had been practicing the Yin-Yang Harmony Great Compassion Fu and the Qi-Yi Jing Jing for many years, Liu Dashao had the upper hand with one against two.
But it’s hard to say whether it will still be like this in the future.
It's a pity that the two women are just ordinary beauties without any skills. They can't help the heart-eating Gu in Liu Mingzhi's body. Naturally, their internal strength cannot achieve the effect of the harmony of yin and yang.
But Liu Mingzhi is a contented person.
With the help of the innate true energy left in his body by his mentor, he has entered a realm that is envied by people in the world.
As for the so-called "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" and the "Five Qi Dynasty" that the old man said in Penglai Pavilion, which only existed in legends, Liu Mingzhi had never had extravagant hopes.
Life is full of vegetation and autumn.
It is not easy to have enough strength to protect yourself, so why be greedy and swallow the elephant.
Sitting gently on the edge of the bed, Liu Mingzhi just opened a corner of the brocade quilt when Huang Lingyi took it back and covered his upper body again.
The beautiful lady's graceful body was fleeting in Liu Mingzhi's eyes.
"Lingyi, we are already a couple, and we were frank with each other last night. What can we do if we let my husband see us?"
There was silence in the room for a moment. Huang Lingyi slightly pulled off the brocade quilt, revealing the lingering red cheeks of herself and her sister Xue Bizhu. She glanced at Young Master Liu with watery eyes and hurriedly looked away. Headed elsewhere.
"Bah! Bad guy!"
The smart and bold Huang Lingyi was so shy, not to mention the gentle Xue Bizhu, whose eyelashes were trembling and pretending to be asleep.
Young Master Liu leaned over and kissed the two girls' foreheads lightly.
"You two sisters take good care of yourself. My husband asked the palace maids to prepare porridge and hot water for you. When the discomfort subsides, just call them to come in and serve.
When the court is over, my husband will come see you again. "
Although the two women were shy, they did not want their sweetheart to leave so soon.
But when he heard that Liu Mingzhi had to deal with court affairs, he had no choice but to nod obediently.
Xue Bizhu, who was pretending to be asleep, also opened his beautiful eyes that were still full of spring and nodded slightly to Liu Mingzhi.
"Liu Da...husband, business is important!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded with gentle eyes, gently tucked in the quilt, and then turned and walked towards the outside of Yunfangzhai.
"Little Chengzi!"
"Your Majesty, we are here!"
"Qinzheng Palace!"
"As ordered, Your Majesty, please!"
There was originally no court meeting today, but Liu Mingzhi said hello to all officials in advance yesterday, and he will temporarily attend the court meeting today.
Naturally, he had to deal with the matter of Nangong Ye, the general of the Flying Eagle Guard who was detained in the camp, and the need to go to Northern Xinjiang.
"Master, get up."
"Go and call the three brothers Chengfeng, Chengzhi and Chenggan and bring them to Qinzheng Hall."
"yes!"
After half a stick of incense, Xiao Chengzi's sharp voice came from the back hall of Qinzheng Hall.
"Your Majesty is here!"
The officials who had been waiting for a long time bowed and saluted as usual.
"I will see you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi, who was dressed in regular clothes, walked out from behind the bead curtain in a hurry. He glanced lightly at the officials whose Highness had gradually become accustomed to recognizing him as the new emperor, and nodded with a slight smile.
"Seat without courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the dragon chair beside him, shook his head as usual, and walked straight towards the bottom of the dragon platform.
Sitting on that hard chair, I would rather stand and talk.
It's not that Liu Mingzhi is being pretentious, but that he really isn't used to it.
All the officials entered the queue and looked at Liu Mingzhi who walked directly down the dragon platform as usual. Apart from his expression being a little strange, he didn't have any extreme reaction.
It has been almost two months, and I have experienced dozens of large and small court meetings. In the impression of myself and others, there are only a handful of times when His Majesty has sat on the Dragon Throne.
Xia Gongming saw Liu Mingzhi wearing a light white robe and walking out holding the Chao Hut.
"Your Majesty, the court meeting is an important matter for the court to discuss the country. Your Majesty's clothes are so inappropriate, wouldn't it be ridiculous to spread the news?
Moreover, His Majesty has broken his promise again. As the saying goes, the Taoist king has no joke. His Majesty promised the old minister to change his dragon robe more than once, but today he is wearing ordinary clothes again.
If this continues, where will the court's face be? Where is your Majesty's power?
As the founder of the country, you should restrain yourself and observe etiquette to set an example for future generations. How can your majesty, if you do not observe etiquette, inspire future generations? "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Xia Gongming, who was once again standing in front of him looking for trouble because of his inappropriate clothes, and smiled bitterly.
"Sir, I reviewed the memorial last night and neglected this matter again. Next time, I will definitely change into a dragon robe next time!"
"Well, I hope your majesty can keep his word. You have no joke and the etiquette cannot be broken. I hope your majesty knows his identity."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely keep your advice in mind."
"In this case, the veteran has returned to his post!"
Looking at Xia Gongming's back, shaking his head and walking towards his seat, the smile in Liu Mingzhi's eyes flashed away.
Old bone Xia Gongming, the imperial censor doctor, has something to do, so he will become more and more accustomed to his identity as the censor doctor under the new emperor. Sooner or later, he will calm down.
Tomorrow comes tomorrow, and there are so many tomorrows.
Likewise, there will be so many next times.
Liu Mingzhi walked silently with his hands behind his back, his eyes passing over the civil and military figures of Man Chao one by one from time to time.
"My dear friends, now the war has ceased, the world is peaceful, and the government is stable.
The people in the capital gradually began to live and work in peace and contentment, and the people in Gyeonggi Prefecture who were affected by the war gradually returned to their former peace and tranquility.
This is all due to the diligent work of all of you, and I am very relieved.
Little virtue. "
"His Majesty?"
"It's not an option for you, the temporary head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to stay idle all this time. Please work hard.
All ministers in the court, ranging from the first-rank officials to the fifth-rank officials, are each rewarded with one thousand taels of silver as a reward for your love and diligence. "
"Yes, we obey."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Without courtesy, this is the reward you all deserve.
As long as you, the ministers, are diligent in government affairs, do practical things, do serious things, and do world affairs.
I will never be stingy with rewards for anyone who has merit. "
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"Report, Your Majesty, General Cheng has brought Nangong Ye, the Great Imperial Guard of the Flying Eagle Guard, and is waiting outside the hall now!"
"pass!"
"According to the order!"
"Mr. Yong'an, please!"
Cheng Kai and Feng Buer followed Nangong Ye to the left and right and appeared in front of the palace gate. They bowed slightly and motioned for Nangong Ye to enter the palace first. They gave Nangong Ye, the defeated general, the dignity he deserved. .
"Your Majesty Cheng Kai!"
"Feng Buer!"
"See Your Majesty!"
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Nangong Ye entered the palace, he did not greet Liu Mingzhi. He directly raised his eyes and looked around at the familiar colleagues of the civil and military officials in the palace. He saw them kneeling in their original positions and listening to the government as before, with complicated eyes.
Many officials met Nangong Ye's eyes, with a hint of shame in their eyes. They lowered their heads silently, not daring to look at Nangong Ye.
After all, judging from the situation at hand, they undoubtedly acted like they were seeking glory from the Lord.
Liu Mingzhi followed Nangong Ye's gaze for a week, then slowly walked to and stopped in front of Nangong Ye.
"Uncle, there is no need to look at your ministers with questioning eyes.
Those who know the current affairs are heroes and heroes. Doing something when you know it cannot be done is not loyal, but foolish.
My uncle must have witnessed what happened before Cheng Aiqing and Feng Aiqing took her uncle into the palace.
The ten prefectures in Gyeonggi Province have been affected by two wars. Cheng Aiqing and the others should have shown you the current situation of the people.
From the day I proclaimed myself emperor, within ten days, the war subsided, and within twenty days, the people's sentiments stabilized.
Within one month, the state capital affected by the war was restored to its original state, and within two months, the people's livelihood was flourishing.
My uncle is a true hero who doesn't bother to lie. He knows what the world is like now.
Even though I rebelled and proclaimed myself emperor, I will bear eternal infamy.
But for governing the country and the people, I am more suitable than Li Yeque.
Facts cannot be deceived.
Therefore, although I am rebelling, it may not be a bad thing for all the people in the world. "
"That's because you took advantage of the east wind brought back from the West by Haining Hou An Jianghe, a rebellious minister and traitor who is collaborating with you.
Without a large number of Westerners once again bringing thousands of Western goods into the capital to trade with the people, how could you restore the people's livelihood after the war so quickly? "
“That’s right, I borrowed the east wind from Haininghou’s return from the Western Ocean voyage, but if I want to borrow the east wind, I have to be able to borrow it.
Secondly, it is easy to borrow the east wind, but difficult to send it away.
Is it easy for my uncle to send the east wind into thousands of households? "
