Chapter 138: The National War XXXI

As soon as Li Baiyu's voice fell, the hall fell into a brief silence.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty glanced at each other and talked in low voices, Li Baiyu didn't say anything when he saw this, and sat quietly on the dragon chair and watched the hundred officials under the dragon platform.

Liu Mingzhi only pacified the Western Regions, and his contribution to opening up territory and expanding the territory of Dalong was already enough to be crowned king.

However, because of the concubine Qinglian's hijacking of the King of Shu, the prince in his hands was demoted to the title of Duke of Dingguo, which is no secret among the official groups in the capital.

Even among the Jingshi, it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone knows it.

The officials who intended to rely on Liu Dashao at the beginning felt sorry for him for a long time.

But that was already a matter of the first imperial dynasty, and after so much time, many people have selectively forgotten about it.

Now that the new emperor has mentioned the matter of sealing the king again, the civil and military officials have different thoughts.

Some are happy for Liu Dashao, while others are panicked.

Naturally, I am happy that the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Dali Temple, which are supervised under the name of Liu Mingzhi, the more powerful the boss, the more benefits he can get in the future.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

It is true that being an official will benefit one party and shepherd the people for the Son of Heaven, but since there is an opportunity to leave a name in history, everyone will not refuse.

The panicked people are naturally those officials who criticize Liu Mingzhi, once Liu Mingzhi is crowned king, it means that his backstage will be under great pressure in the face of Liu Mingzhi returning from the expedition, and it is unknown whether he has the heart to take care of his guns.

In an instant, many young officials complained bitterly and regretted in their hearts, how could they get on the thief ship in a daze!

However, it is too late to regret it, the court is not big, and it is not a small place, there is no secret at all.

Many officials who had just criticized Liu Mingzhi were worried in their hearts, thinking about whether to return to their hometowns in advance to protect themselves, but thinking of the achievements that had been hard won by ten years of hard study and the title of the gold list, they were not very willing to 'run away' like this.

However, some thoughtful officials thought about it for a while, knowing that the new emperor would soon release officials to govern the people's livelihood, and pondered whether to take the initiative to invite Ying to leave the court, a place of right and wrong.

After Dingguo Gong returns to the court, with his identity, he should not have anything to do with his little minions who have just entered the court.

He and others have already chosen to avoid his edge, and he should not be a dignified member of the ranks, so he shouldn't hold on to these little Luo Luos!

These people's minds are not incomprehensible.

It's just that they have just entered the court for a year or two, and after Lord Liu returned to the court from the north, he stayed at home and did not enter the temple. Many people still don't know much about Liu Dashao's personality.

The shameless Dingguo Gong's reputation in the capital is not for nothing.

The dog bites the young master, although the young master can't bite back, but the young master can slaughter the dog and eat meat.

For a while, some people in the court were happy and some were sad.

Lao Jiang of the household department, Song Yu of the military department, and Lao Wang of Honglu Temple have the deepest friendship with Liu Dashao, and they are also old foxes who have been fighting in the court for a long time.

Hearing that Li Baiyu intended to give Liu Mingzhi the crown, he was both happy for Liu Mingzhi and worried about him.

Dalong has not had a king with a different surname, but in the past hundred years, there has not been a person who can be crowned king in the three dynasties.

Being able to be crowned king means that he has reached the pinnacle of power and has become one of the most noble existences besides the emperor.

However, the same is true of several concerns.

Since ancient times, there have been few kings with different surnames who have had a good end, Han Xin and others are the best examples, and throughout the ages, there are only a handful of kings with different surnames who have been able to die well.

The prince looks noble, but the crises he will face are also endless.

After being crowned king, they must be cautious in their words and deeds, and several people are very worried about whether they will be able to sit on the throne with Liu Dashao's temperament.

After discussing for a long time, the court gradually quieted down.

Du Chenghao, the secretary of the ministry, stood up with Chao Wat in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play."

Li Baiyu looked at Du Chenghao curiously: "Quasi-play!" ”

Du Chenghao is also happy to see Liu Dashao crowned king, after all, his son eats with Liu Dashao, the more noble Liu Dashao's status is, the more his son's status will naturally rise in the future.

Maybe after the end of this national war, after dominating the world, his own Du family will also be able to produce a marquis from Du Yu.

Princes and generals have been synonymous with dignity since ancient times.

Du Chenghao knew in his heart that it was impossible to become the prince of the country with his son Du Yu's qualifications, and he was still a little sure of getting a marquis.

Although Liu Mingzhi is also in the position of the prince of the country at a young age, Liu Dashao's exploits can be counted on his fingers, and he can't accept it.

However, although Du Chenghao is happy to see Liu Mingzhi crowned the king, he still has to follow the rules, and he serves the bowl of rice from the Ministry of Shangshu.

"Your Majesty, the military exploits of Dingguo Gong are indeed enough to be crowned king, but Dingguo Gong has not yet returned to the dynasty, the overall situation is undecided, and it is not in line with the etiquette system to be crowned king at this moment, please think twice."

"When the Dingguo Gongban returns to the dynasty, it can be entered into the military department according to the records of the army, and the merit book of the ministry can be awarded."

"Your Majesty can draw up the king's name first, and the old minister will be recorded in the register, and he will be rewarded directly after the return of the prince of Dingguo."

As soon as Du Chenghao finished speaking, Xia Gongming, who was standing in the distance, continued to salute: "Your Majesty, the old minister seconded it." ”

Li Baiyu pondered for a moment and slowly stood up from the dragon chair.

"Two Aiqing, when the first emperor was in power, he had a word with me and Dingguo Gong in the imperial study, as long as I inherit the great treasure and Dingguo Gong has a monstrous merit, I can be crowned king by myself."

"Now that Dingguo Gong has captured 110,000 Turkic enemy troops and captured the four cities of the Jin Kingdom, it can be said that he has made great contributions."

"The first emperor often said during his reign, thinking will change, and change will make sense."

"At this moment, the king can not only make Dingguo Gong devote twelve points of energy to serve the country, but also boost morale, set an example for the other two armies, and let them fight bravely to kill the enemy."

"I just want to tell you, tell the people of the world, and tell the soldiers who went out for the country."

"Although I am the first to ascend to the great treasure, I will be rewarded for my merits, and I will be punished for my mistakes."

"I inherited the legacy of the previous emperor, and did my best to magnify my Chinese style, the Turks, the Jin country looked down on my northern Xinjiang for a hundred years, and repeatedly committed wars on the border, so that the people of my border were not at peace."

"Now that it has been peaceful for more than 30 years, the butcher's knife has arrived."

"Before Dingguo Gong went to the imperial study to play right, he asked, will he accept the orders of the monarch outside?"

I replied: "If you don't accept the order of the king outside, let go and fight." ”

"I asked Dingguo Gong, why are the millions of soldiers on this trip going?"

The civil and military officials looked at Li Baiyu with a solemn face, not knowing what Li Baiyu wanted to say.

Li Baiyu took a deep breath and quietly glanced at the civil and military officials.

"Step into a foreign land and protect your home and country."

"If you are broken, your soul will return."

"The heroic spirit is always there, and he also guards the country!"

"You don't know the specific opportunities for this battle, and you also know what kind of determination you need to make when you go deep into the heart of the enemy country?"

"Knowing that there are nine deaths and one life, you need to have no hesitation."

"You tell me that the Duke of Dingguo and 300,000 soldiers will serve the country with their bodies, why don't I seal it?"
