Liu Mingzhi waited until all the civil and military officials took their seats. He first looked at Xia Gongming, who had already knelt down, and then turned his attention to his eldest brother Song Qing.
"King Wuyi."
Song Qing was just about to sit down in his seat when he heard Young Master Liu calling him and immediately turned back towards the center of the hall.
After stopping, Song Qing glanced at Mr. Liu who was sitting on the dragon chair, and a suspicion arose in his heart.
What's happening here? On the day of the great court meeting, shouldn't the third brother first ask the officials of the cabinet and the six ministries and nine ministers? Why did you call me out first today?
Song Qing muttered for a moment without knowing why, then raised the Chao Hut in his hand and bowed respectfully.
"I'm here."
"King Wuyi, when can the many generals of the new army come to the palace to have an audience?"
Song Qing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, it turns out he was asking about these things.
"Back to Your Majesty, three days ago, I handed the pass token to Marshal Duan Dingbang and gave him a detailed explanation of the specific time of Marshal Duan's meeting today.
At present, all the ministers and other colleagues have arrived, and it seems that Marshal Duan and the others will soon enter the palace.
However, the New Army camp was still quite far away from the capital, so it was understandable that Marshal Duan and many other generals were slightly delayed.
Due to the long journey, they were unable to enter the palace to see His Majesty together with their ministers and colleagues. We hope that Your Majesty will be considerate. "
After Song Qing finished replying to Liu Mingzhi's question, he quickly glanced towards the palace gate outside Qinzheng Hall with imperceptible eyes.
Dingbang, Dingbang, it’s not a big problem that you are a little late, but you must not come too late!
Today is the first time that all of you brothers have appeared in front of His Majesty and the civil and military officials. If you come too late, it will inevitably leave some bad impressions.
Liu Mingzhi nodded calmly and looked towards the palace gate indifferently.
Seeing the twenty or thirty strong figures in the palace square rushing towards the Qinzheng Palace, Master Liu couldn't help but smile.
"I understand, I can naturally understand this kind of thing for the soldiers. King Wuyi, please return to your seat first."
"Your Majesty is holy."
Song Qing breathed a sigh of relief, put down the Chao Hut, turned around and walked towards his seat.
The moment Song Qing turned around and walked towards his seat, he happened to notice a group of people on the square rushing to the Qinzheng Hall out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing the familiar figure walking at the front, Song Qing, the leader, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He walked to his seat and knelt down with a smile on his face.
Duan Dingbang, Duan Dingbang, you came just in time, uncle, I didn’t disappoint you!
Just as Song Qing sat down on the futon, a palace guard ran outside the Qinzheng Hall and bowed to Young Master Liu respectfully.
"Report, please inform Your Majesty that the newly recruited Marshal Duan Dingbang of the Third Army and his generals have boarded the thousand-level platform and are waiting for His Majesty's summons."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyes slightly and looked at the 20 or 30 young generals who looked nervous outside the Qinzheng Palace, and nodded gently to the senior masters standing outside the palace gate.
"Let them wait outside the palace for now. I will call them later."
"Yes, Wei Chen takes the order."
After the imperial guards retreated, Liu Mingzhi immediately withdrew his eyes from looking at Duan Dingbang and his party, and glanced at the civil and military officials in the palace with a faint smile.
"My dear friends, who has the original memorial?"
The civil and military officials looked at each other tacitly, and the atmosphere in the palace instantly became subtle.
Wang Hezheng, the minister of Honglu Temple, coughed twice and walked out holding the Chao Hut.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."
"allow."
Wang Hezheng immediately took out a document from the cuff of his official robe, glanced at Liu Chengfeng who was kneeling in one of the first seats with complex eyes, and held the document with both hands with a respectful expression.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Tsarist Russian envoys who are currently living in Honglu Temple have been in a mood recently. They insist that the Great Dragon Celestial Empire has restricted their freedom of movement, and they hope that the imperial court will give them an explanation.
The specific situation has been stated one by one in the document. Your Majesty, please take a look. "
Liu Chengfeng was originally whispering something with his second brother Liu Chengzhi and third brother Liu Chengqian. After hearing Wang Hezheng's words, his body stiffened suddenly and he glanced at the person standing in the hall with a hesitant expression. He Zheng, the king of Honglu Temple in the center.
Are the people in the Tsarist Russian mission in a mood? what's the situation?
Liu Mingzhi looked at Wang Hezheng, who had a somewhat complicated expression, and raised his eyebrows. His eyes inadvertently glanced at Liu Chengfeng, the eldest son who was peeking at Wang Hezheng.
"Little Chengzi."
"yes."
Xiao Chengzi took the document from Wang Hezheng's hand, quickly climbed onto the dragon platform and handed it to Young Master Liu.
"His Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi reached out and took the document handed over by Xiao Chengzi, casually opened the cover of the document and looked down at the contents.
After a while, Young Master Liu silently closed the documents in his hands and placed them on the dragon desk. He raised his head and looked at Wang Hezheng under the dragon platform.
"Wang Aiqing."
"The old minister is here."
"In addition to what you stated in the document, did the people from the Russian mission make any other requests?"
"Reply to Your Majesty, all the requests of the Tsarist Russian mission have been stated one by one in the document."
"Well, during this period, did any conflicts occur?"
"Reporting to your majesty, the Russian envoys are quite reasonable. Although they are somewhat dissatisfied with my dragon's restraint on them, no conflicts have occurred."
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped his fingertips lightly on the table and fell silent thoughtfully. After a long time, Young Master Liu smiled and exhaled.
"Wang Aiqing."
"The old minister is here."
“I approved the first request of the Russian mission in the document.
They are allowed to trade goods in various major cities, but goods such as weapons and armor are not included in this. During their trade, you people from Honglu Temple must supervise the whole process.
If there is insufficient manpower, three hundred to one thousand men can be mobilized directly from the Forbidden Army to assist.
I am also right about the third item.
They are allowed to enter and leave the various prefectures and capitals in Gyeonggi and enjoy the customs and customs of Dalong. However, all actions must be properly arranged by the officials of Honglu Temple.
I am also right about Article 7.
All officers and soldiers of their mission are allowed to enter and leave the major fireworks places in our capital, but they must abide by our dragon's unchanging rules.
After entering various brothels, brothels, brothels, and brothels, you can drink wine and listen to music to entertain you. With the girl's consent, you can also find a girl to accompany you.
But during this period, you are absolutely not allowed to touch or touch the girl, let alone have any sexual intercourse with the girl.
If anyone causes trouble after drinking, or forces a girl to accompany him, disturbing the peace of the city, he will be arrested on the spot and severely punished according to the law.
As for the remaining items, I will put them aside for now and I will reply after careful consideration.
By the way, I tell them that I am not doing this to restrict their freedom, but to make them understand one thing.
Now that you have entered the territory of my dragon, you must abide by my dragon's rules.
If anyone dares to break the rules, don't blame me for not caring about the good relations. "
"Old minister, take your orders."
"Besides this, Wang Aiqing, do you have any other documents?"
"Return to your majesty, I have no foundation."
"Well, let's go back and take our seats first."
"yes."
"The Ministry of War."
"The old minister is here."
"During the recent period, the patrol density and manpower of armed guards on the streets have been increased. Once those who cause trouble in the city are discovered, they will act according to the law."
"Old minister, I obey."
