My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 1385 National War 21
As soon as Li Baiyu finished speaking, the hall fell into a brief silence.

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

Liu Mingzhi only pacified the Western Regions, and his achievements in opening up the territory for Dalong were long enough to be crowned king.

However, it was no secret among the officials in the capital that the concubine Qinglian kidnapped the King of Shu and lowered the acquired prince to the title of Duke Dingguo.

It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone in the capital knows about it.

The officials who intended to attach themselves to Young Master Liu felt sorry for him for a long time.

But that was already a matter of the first emperor's dynasty. After such a long time, many people have selectively forgotten about it.

Now that the new emperor mentions the matter of becoming a king again, the civil and military officials have different ideas.

Some were happy for First Young Master Liu, while others were apprehensive.

Of course the ones who are happy are the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Dali Temple, which are under the supervision of Liu Mingzhi. The more powerful the immediate boss is, the more benefits he will get in the future.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

It is true that being an official will benefit one side and shepherd the common people for the emperor, but since there is an opportunity to be famous in history, no one will refuse it.

The people who are anxious are naturally those officials who criticized Liu Mingzhi just now. Once Liu Mingzhi becomes the king, it means that his backers will be under great pressure when facing Liu Mingzhi who has returned from the expedition. up.

In an instant, many young officials complained incessantly and regretted endlessly, why did they become obsessed with the bandits!

However, it's too late to regret, the Chaotang is not big or small, there is no secret at all.

Many officials who just criticized Liu Mingzhi felt sad and thought about whether to tell the old man to return to his hometown in advance to protect himself, but thinking of ten years of hard study and the hard-won achievement of being named on the gold list, it is not easy to just "flee away" like this. too willing.

On the contrary, some thoughtful officials thought for a while, knowing that the new emperor was enthroned and would soon release officials to manage people's livelihood, thinking about whether to take the initiative to ask Ying to leave the place of right and wrong in the court.

After Ding Guogong returned to the court, in his capacity, he probably wouldn't care about those little guys like himself who had just entered the court.

I and the others have already chosen to avoid the edge, he is a dignified first-rank official, he should not be clinging to his little minions, right?
These people's minds are not incomprehensible.

It's just that they have just entered the court for a year or two, and Mr. Liu stayed at home and did not enter the temple after returning from the Northland. Many people still don't know much about Young Master Liu.

The shameless Ding Guogong's reputation in the capital is not for nothing.

A dog bites young master Ben, although young master can't bite back, but young master can kill the dog and eat meat.

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

Old Jiang from the household department, Song Yu from the military department, and Lao Wang from Honglu Temple have the deepest friendship with Young Master Liu, and they are also the old foxes who have been hanging around for a long time in the court.

Hearing that Li Baiyu intended to make Liu Mingzhi king, he was both happy for Liu Mingzhi and worried about him.

It's not that Dalong has never had kings with different surnames, but in the past hundred years, there has been no one in the three dynasties who has been able to become a king.

To be crowned king means to have reached the pinnacle of power and become one of the most noble existences besides the emperor. If Young Master Liu is really crowned king, several people will naturally be happy for Young Master Liu from the bottom of their hearts.

However, the same is true for several people's concerns.

Few kings with different surnames have ended well since ancient times. Han Xin and others are the best examples. Throughout the ages, there are only a handful of kings with different surnames who have ended well.

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

After becoming king, he had to be even more cautious in his words and deeds. Several people were very worried about whether they could sit on the throne with Young Master Liu's foolish temperament.

After discussing for a long time, the court gradually became quiet.

Du Chenghao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up holding the imperial wat.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have a book to play."

Li Baiyu looked at Du Chenghao curiously: "Quick play!"

Du Chenghao was also happy to see First Young Master Liu crowned king. After all, his son lived by his side. The more noble Young Young Master Liu was, the higher his son's future status would naturally be.

Maybe this time the national war is over, and after the world is ruled, my Du family can also get a Marquis from Du Yu.

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

Du Chenghao knew in his heart that with his son Du Yu's qualifications, it was impossible to become the Duke of the state, and he was still somewhat sure of getting the title of Lord Marquis.

Although Liu Mingzhi was also the Duke of the Kingdom at a young age, but Young Master Liu's achievements can be counted on fingers, so he can't accept it.

However, although Du Chenghao was happy to see Liu Mingzhi crowned king, he still had to follow the rules, and what he served was the bowl of rice from the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Your Majesty, Duke Ding's military exploits are indeed enough to be crowned king. However, Duke Ding has not yet returned to the imperial court, and the overall situation is still uncertain. It is not in accordance with the etiquette to be crowned king at this moment. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"When Dingguo Gong's class division returns to the court, according to the military records recorded in the Ministry of War and the merits of the Ministry of Officials, they can be rewarded for their merits."

"Your Majesty can draw up the title of the king first, and the old minister will record it in the register, and reward it directly after Ding Guogong returns to the court."

Just after Du Chenghao finished speaking, Xia Gongming, who was standing in the distance, continued to salute: "Your Majesty, the old minister seconded the proposal."

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

"Two lovers, when the first emperor was in power, he had a conversation with me and Duke Dingguo in the imperial study. As long as I inherit the great treasure and Duke Dingguo makes great contributions, I can become king myself."

"Ding Guogong has now captured 11 Turkic enemy troops and captured four cities in the Kingdom of Jin. It can be said that he has made great contributions."

"When the late emperor was in power, he often said that thinking leads to change, and change leads to understanding."

"Being crowned king at this moment will not only allow Duke Ding to devote [-]% of his energy to serving the country, but also boost morale and set an example for the other two armies to fight the enemy bravely."

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

"Although I have just ascended to the Great Treasure, I will be rewarded for my achievements and punished for my mistakes."

"I inherit the legacy of the late emperor, and do my best to promote my Chinese character. The Turks and the Jin Kingdom have been watching my northern border for hundreds of years. They have repeatedly violated the frontier and started wars, making the people on the frontier uneasy."

"Now it has been subdued for more than [-] years, and the butcher's knife has come again."

"Before Ding Guogong went to the imperial study to make a statement, he asked, will he accept the order of the foreign emperor?"

"I replied: "The general will not accept the order of the foreign emperor, so let him fight. "

"I asked Ding Guogong, why did the millions of soldiers go on this trip?"

Civil and military officials looked at Li Baiyu with a serious face, not knowing what Li Baiyu wanted to say.

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

"Travel on a foreign land, protect the country."

"If you break your body, your soul will return."

"The heroic spirit is always there, and guards the gate of the country!"

"You don't know the specific opportunity to use troops in this battle, and you also know what kind of determination you need to make when you go deep into the enemy's hinterland?"

"Knowing that you are close to death, you must never turn back."

"Tell me, Ding Guogong and 30 soldiers serve the country with their own lives, why don't I seal it?"
