At this moment, even the five surnames and Qiwang, no one dared to stand. They were nothing in front of hundreds of thousands of people and one hundred thousand Tang troops.
The family members of these patriarchs, who claimed to be members of the gentry class and did not even want to marry the royal family, knelt on their knees silently, just like ordinary people.
Immediately afterwards, all the ministers in the court knelt down silently.
It is true that in the Tang Dynasty, kneeling was rarely performed, and it was often only done on some major festivals and occasions, but isn't this the case now?
Not only these court officials, but also Li Tai, Li Yan, Yang Anning and others beside Li Ke stood up and saluted Li Ke.
Until there was only Li Ke standing there in the square that accommodated nearly one million people.
It's hard for Li Ke to tolerate his own mood. There is definitely no joy, but at this moment he doesn't care about being angry, angry or anything else. In such a scene, the only thing you can feel is two words: responsibility.
To be honest, Li Ke never thought that he would have such a scene, and he naturally never thought about such a responsibility, but now... when hundreds of thousands of people, even Li Ke has thought about it, before Lao Li But on August 1st, he was enshrined in Mount Tai, and the whole world celebrated together.
Do you need to say it at this time? You don't need to think about it to know that Lao Li has probably already arranged the imperial edict in all parts of the world, and it was jointly announced in all parts of the Tang Dynasty.
In other words, he could only see these hundreds of thousands of people, but in fact all the people in the world knew the news.
Even in front of you, when hundreds of thousands of people kneel in front of you, when hundreds of thousands of people cheer because you have assumed a certain position, when hundreds of thousands of people have extremely high expectations for you.
No one can turn a blind eye.
Neither can Li Ke.
He couldn't think about anything else at all. In such a scene, there was only one thing he could do.
"Get up." Li Ke couldn't even let his tone become weak, but said with full force.
Everyone around Li Ke stood up, and the microphone was not far in front of Li Ke. Chang Lin, who was also kneeling, immediately stood up, and then spoke loudly in front of the microphone: "Your Majesty, please be safe."
Listening to Chang Lin's words, Li Ke couldn't help but roll his eyes, Chang Lin, you don't even have a fucking face. You and my father are working together, don't care about anything, just put it on other people's heads, right?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji, who were kneeling in front of the courtiers, all said loudly and in unison.
As soon as the three of them took the lead, all the courtiers and newly promoted student officials behind them naturally shouted enthusiastically, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then there are the common people, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ke is already numb. Let's destroy him. He is tired. His situation cannot change anything at all.
"Servant Chang, please continue." Li Ke slumped down in his seat. Anyway, he was so far away that other people couldn't see him, and the people couldn't see his expression at all.
Human joys and sorrows are not the same at all.
"Yes!" Chang Lin continued speaking without saying anything.
"The Supreme Emperor also said in the imperial edict..." Chang Lin simply didn't even want to show any shame and directly assigned the title of Supreme Emperor to Li Shimin.
"...Only under the leadership of Li Ke, the Tang Dynasty can move more steadily, faster, and further! I have been eliminated by the times, and the Tang Dynasty in the future will be the era of Li Ke."
"Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji." Chang Lin said loudly.
"I'm here." The three people saluted again.
"The three of you will lead the officials of the court to arrange a succession ceremony for Li Ke today. From today on, Li Ke will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. And I am an ordinary old man in the Tang Dynasty. After the enshrinement of Mount Tai, I will travel around the world. , take a good look at the Tang Dynasty, take a good look at the Tang Dynasty where the people now live and work in peace and contentment!"
"Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Changsun Wuji led the court officials to receive the order." Chang Lin said loudly.
"I accept the order." The three people said decisively, why are they thinking so much? They are His Majesty's accomplices, oh no, they are the Supreme Emperor's accomplices. Of course, they must quickly comply at this time.
But they were overthinking it. Li Ke's soul was not here at the moment. He was already wandering in the sky. He didn't know where he had wandered off. How could he notice this.
As for this scene, let it be as it should be. He has seen it clearly. He can't say or do anything in this scene.
He suddenly remembered what Lao Li had told him countless times about his influence.
Having great influence is certainly a good thing, but equally, having great influence means that you are a role model for the people in the world. Every word and deed you do will affect people in the world. Sometimes even your words may be just an unintentional mistake. , but when it spreads somewhere, someone will inevitably do something wrong because of your words.
At that time, more than just one person will be affected?
It turns out, Lao Li, you had already thought about it at that time, right? Li Ke smiled bitterly in his heart. He had to say that sometimes he still thought a little too simply.
And after doing this, Li Ke smiled bitterly. Originally, he thought that as long as he was unwilling to do it, he could refuse even if Lao Li offered him the position of prince.
But now, you tell him, how can you refuse?
Of course, if he is an irresponsible person, he doesn't have to do it.
But if he was an irresponsible person, Datang would not be what it is today.
The point is, even if he starts to be irresponsible now, it may lead to worse consequences, because if he fails now, his performance will be inconsistent, and the common people and soldiers around the world will only feel that someone is restricting him.
It's not that he doesn't want to do it.
At this moment, Li Ke suddenly figured out a philosophical question, that is, why true freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but not doing anything when you don't want to do it.
He used to think there was no difference between the two sentences, but now he understands.
It's true that people can't help themselves in the world, but there are some things that you can't just do if you don't want to.
However, Li Ke sat up straight as he looked at the ongoing ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and the hundreds of thousands of cheerful people in the audience.
I, Li Ke, will never surrender! Be an emperor, right?
Haha, you really thought that I, Li Ke, had nothing to do, right? When I go back tonight, I will create a new folder. The name of this new folder is: Constitutional Monarchy!
Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, right? Fang Xuanling is older and currently serves as Prime Minister. With Sun Zhenren, it is not a problem for him to live to be eighty, and he can still work for twenty years.
Changsun Wuji is younger, fifteen years younger than Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling has resigned, but you can still continue to work for fifteen years!
Thirty-five years have passed. Di Renjie is already 11 years old this year, right? Thirty-five years later, the 46-year-old Di Renjie should also be able to hold this position. Yes, it is good to be able to work for another twenty or thirty years!
