Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and took the tea that Xiao Chengzi had prepared early in the morning to moisten his dry throat.
"The Ministry of War, now that you are on the line, do you have a report to report?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I have nothing to report."
"Well, let's go back and take our seats first."
"Old minister, I obey."
Liu Mingzhi waited until Song Yu returned to his seat, then turned to look at his eldest son Liu Chengfeng, whose expression had gradually calmed down under the dragon platform.
Young Master Liu looked at his eldest son and was about to say something, when his face hidden behind the curtain of Pingtian Guanzhu suddenly became hesitant.
Observing the way Liu Chengfeng nodded and lowered his eyebrows, sitting quietly with his back raised, Young Master Liu pondered for a long time and finally moved his eyes away from his eldest son Liu Chengfeng.
He originally wanted to remind Liu Chengfeng and ask him to talk to Serena calmly after he returned, and ask Serena to inform all the officers and soldiers of the Russian mission living in Honglu Temple to calm down and cooperate well. Honglu Temple officials act.
However, the words had already reached his lips. Young Master Liu then thought that it would be a shame to remind Liu Chengfeng directly in front of all the civil and military officials.
After all, he is his son, the current eldest son of the emperor. How can I, as a father, not take care of his face?
After thinking about this, Major General Liu swallowed the words on his lips again.
It doesn't matter what he and his son say in private, there are still things that should be paid attention to in public.
This is not only to take care of his son's face, but also to protect his own face.
Who made the eldest son of the current emperor his son and the little empress of Tsarist Russia his daughter-in-law?
It is more appropriate to deal with matters at home in private, otherwise it will inevitably cause the civil and military officials in the court to have other thoughts.
Liu Chengfeng seemed to feel something. He silently raised his head and looked at his father who was sitting on the dragon chair. Unfortunately, the bead curtain on Pingtian Crown blocked Liu Chengfeng's view and he could not see his father clearly. How does he look?
However, although Liu Chengfeng couldn't see Young Master Liu's expression clearly, he was very familiar with his father's character and felt the steady aura of Young Master Liu. Liu Chengfeng's heart finally dropped.
Based on his understanding of his father, he knew that Young Master Liu was not dissatisfied with the Tsarist Russian mission's emotional disturbance.
Liu Mingzhi noticed that his eldest son Liu Chengfeng was secretly watching him, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, while he looked at the civil and military officials in the palace calmly.
"My dear friends, apart from Honglu Temple, who else has a book to write?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have a report from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce."
"allow."
The Minister of Works immediately walked to the foot of the dragon platform, took out a document from his sleeve and held it in his hand.
"Your Majesty, a few days ago my colleagues from the Ministry of Revenue suddenly informed the old minister that on His Majesty's order, all matters related to the construction of His Majesty's Imperial Mausoleum would be stopped immediately.
Therefore, the old minister wrote today to ask Your Majesty whether this matter is true? "
Liu Mingzhi looked at the Minister of Industry and nodded calmly: "It's true. Aiqing's document will be submitted to the cabinet for approval, and the Ten Kings Palace will approve it."
"Old minister understands, old minister returns to his position."
"Is there any other lover who has a book to write?"
Ninety percent of the civil and military officials in the hall looked at each other with different looks again, and involuntarily raised the Chaohu in their hands to salute.
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of reporting."
"It's good to have no foundation. If you feel comfortable, I will feel comfortable too."
"Your Majesty is holy."
Xia Gongming waited until Young Master Liu and the rest of his colleagues finished speaking, then sighed silently, raised the Chao Hut and walked to the center of the hall.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, my veteran Xia Gongming has something to report."
When Liu Mingzhi saw Xia Gongming, the chief minister of the cabinet, finally stood up and came out, he became a little excited. He knew that Xia Gongming's shareholder wind was finally blowing.
As for how this wind blows, it depends on the old man's own abilities.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Xia Gongming under the dragon platform through the bead curtain in front of him, smiled lightly and nodded.
"allow."
Xia Gongming quietly took out a memorial from his sleeve, held it in his hand and opened it.
"Your Majesty.
Since the Three Emperors ruled the world, the Five Emperors have made the final decision.
Since ancient times, benevolent and sage kings have governed the world, relying on the teachings of many sages to educate and comfort the people.
As for more than a thousand years, there is no equal in all dynasties.
But today, the way is clear. I, the great dragon, the hero of the heavenly dynasty, sit high to carry the way of heaven, obey the people's hearts, and neutralize the sages. Therefore, we, the great dragon, have the prosperous age of heaven and earth today.
…
The vastness of the world belongs to the king's land; the shores of the land belong to the king's ministers.
Nowadays, it is difficult for the barbarians to adapt to the way of heaven because they are not educated.
Therefore, veteran...
Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch in the prosperous times, and he should act benevolently and righteously. To tell the emperor and the queen about the beauty of the soil, and to comfort the hearts of the people in the world.
I hope that your majesty will choose an auspicious day and send out heavenly troops into the barbarian lands to carry out enlightenment and bring prosperity to the people.
To show the benevolence and righteousness of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty.
Long live my emperor. "
Young Master Liu looked at Xia Gongming who folded the document and held it high in his hand, his eyes couldn't help flashing with excitement.
"Little Chengzi."
"yes."
Xiao Chengzi walked down the dragon platform quickly, took the memorial from Xia Gongming's hand and returned.
"His Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi immediately took the document handed over by Xiao Chengzi, gently opened the memorial in his hand, lowered his head and pretended to read the contents of the memorial attentively.
Seeing Young Master Liu's concentration, all the civil and military officials looked at Xia Gongming, who was standing in the center of the hall with a calm expression, with different expressions.
In addition to Song Qing, Song Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, Lao Jiang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Rong Weihou, they were four people who already knew the details. Many bright-eyed officials murmured in their hearts for a moment, and vaguely thought about it.
Although Mr. Xia's memorial contains benevolent words such as kingship, enlightenment, and kindness, in summary, it expresses only one meaning, and that is to urge your majesty to send the second line of troops to go abroad as soon as possible.
Hiss - Sir, when did he change his temper?
In the past, this was a matter for the Ministry of War or the military attache!
Weird, weird, there must be a reason for everything to go wrong.
what's the situation? Why do I feel that the content of Sir Lao Sir's memorial, although it sounds nice, is actually all about admonishing His Majesty to send troops to the Western Yi lands as soon as possible?
No, shouldn't this kind of memorial be the job of the old Marquis Rongwei? Why is it the turn of Mr. Xia, the chief minister of the cabinet, to come forward?
Besides, this is not in line with the nature of the boss!
Huh? Why is His Majesty's reaction so calm? He didn't seem surprised at all that the old man would do such a thing.
Could it be that His Majesty privately instructed Mr. Xia to act like this?
Um! If nothing else, this is the case nine times out of ten.
Is Xia Shoufu sleepy? Conducting war in the name of benevolence and righteousness is a unique skill of the Ministry of War and military attachés, right?
Based on my understanding of Xia Shoufu, he shouldn't be the kind of person who steals the jobs of the Ministry of War and military attachés!
I understand, maybe this matter was given by His Majesty to Xia Shoufu, just to make the Second Route Army famous.
Xia Shoufu came forward, which fulfilled His Majesty's name of benevolence and sage.
Well, I'm not running away anymore, I have to cooperate well later.
Oh - I understand. Your Majesty is setting up a stage for the boss to sing for us.
Understand, understand, how can we not help in such a situation.
Some bright-eyed old foxes in the palace thought carefully for a moment, and immediately realized what the memorial reported by Xia Gongming was about.
Withdrawing their gaze from observing Xia Gongming, a group of old foxes and gods sat up straight, thinking in their minds about how to cooperate with Young Master Liu to perform this scene well.
The flattery needs to be photographed well, but it cannot be too obvious.
After all, Mr. Xia is now the 'protagonist' in the court.
