Chapter 783
Looking at Liu Mingzhi's blank expression, Li Zheng sighed and waved his hands: "Sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Liu Aiqing, do you think that what I said violates the principles of ethics? Why do you think this world is so absurd?"

"I dare not!"

"If you don't dare, you have it! I know what you think in your heart, but even I can't do anything about it. What you think about is how to do your duty as the commander of the imperial envoy to suppress bandits, but what I think about is how to be a good emperor. What I am in charge of is a world, and there are thousands and thousands of people!"

"Do you think I want to see those officials pocketing their own pockets? I don't want to either. I know how the rumors spread among the people scold me and resent me. I know very well that King Duan controls the government, and the left and right make friends. I am very clear that scolding me is immoral." I never care about it, because I really haven't done anything to clarify the world's duty to the world's subjects!"

"I also want to kill corrupt officials all over the world, but Emperor Taizu Gao told me with bloody facts that there is no end to killing corrupt officials in the world. If you kill one batch, another batch will come again. This is human nature. If you want to kill all human nature, you must No one exists in this world, so these corrupt officials can live and continue to sit under their buttocks."

"I understand, I understand!"

"Liu Aiqing, count the corrupt officials you have captured. Although they are corrupt, they do not break the law. Although they are corrupt, they do not dereliction of duty. Although they are corrupt, they do not harm the people. Although they are corrupt, they do practical things. In my eyes, they are better than those in front of the palace. Benevolence, righteousness and morality are ten times, a hundred times better than officials who put morality first and act mischievously. There is black and white is the most reasonable thing in the world, this is the helplessness of being an emperor!"

"I am above your position, I can kill, kill, kill, but not above my position. Without them, the world will be in chaos, and without their restraint, the people will rebel. The dragons are gone, and you can still Is it right to sit here and play with my monarch and ministers?"

"I know I'm wrong, it's because my thinking is too simple!"

Li Zheng sighed: "Do you know what to do?"

The third uncle's last words came to Liu Mingzhi's mind before he died, and he nodded lightly: "The governor of the Seven Houses has lost his virtue, and he will be fined for half a year as an example to others!"

Li Zheng nodded slightly: "There is no need to talk about the case of the loss of tax money. You supervised the case of suppressing the bandits well. Where is the fourth brother?"

"Now I'm temporarily staying in the minister's mansion. I just want to ask your majesty whether to hand it over to the clan's mansion or to the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment? But it's up to your majesty to deal with it!"

"Leave it to the clan's mansion. After all, it is a matter of the royal family. The Dali Temple of the Ministry of Officials is not suitable for disposal. You did a good job in not mentioning this matter in the memorial!"

"Your Majesty is absurd, this is the duty of the minister!"

"Liu Aiqing!"

"Chen is here!"

"Today, there are only you and my monarch and ministers. I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I know and understand many things. I have also heard about Wei Aiqing. I have also heard a little about the persecution suffered by Ling Daoming, the governor of Yangzhou. ! But I didn’t ask about it, do you know why?”

Liu Mingzhi's heart skipped a beat. As a foreign minister, he was most afraid of the emperor's heartfelt words. Although he understood what the emperor meant, Liu Mingzhi still shook his head slightly.

"Your Majesty, Yulu, naturally don't understand His Majesty's profound meaning!"

Li Zheng held the wine glass, and nodded after a while: "It's fine if you don't understand, Ling Yang will be pardoned for the crime of exile, Ling Weier will be moved out of the Jiaofang Division, and the two brothers and sisters will return to Liang, I will leave this matter to you Well, since Ling Daoming has died and joined the White Lotus Sect to participate in the treason case, let it disappear, and I will sell you a thin face for your hard work, and I will leave the search for Lingyang Lingwei to you, Aiqing!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Liu Aiqing! Is it true that I am as rumored? Are you really stupid?"

"Your Majesty, the rumors among the people are mostly based on rumors. People who read books are different from one in ten, and they are easily taken advantage of by those who want to. Your Majesty's ability to not pursue the slanderous words of the people is enough to prove that your Majesty is a rare and outstanding king."

Li Zheng laughed at himself when he heard the words: "Mingjun is hard to do. I have too much helplessness. If you want to be a Mingjun, you must first be blind. Mingjun will see many dirty things when you open your eyes, but Mingjun can only do it." Turn a blind eye, because the world is too big, I can’t see it alone! Don’t talk about it, let’s continue the discussion, I don’t know why those ministers criticize you in their hearts after delaying in the apse for so long!”

"Yes, Your Majesty please!"

"See Your Majesty!"

"Free gift!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Zheng opened the red sandalwood alley above the dragon case, took out two volumes of tightly wrapped imperial edicts, and handed them to Zhou Fei, the chief executive, "Declarate the edict!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Fei put away his whisk and took a few steps forward holding the imperial decree with a serious face.

"Emperor Dalong issued an edict, all the bandit suppressing officers and men are ordered to obey!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"Song Qing, the commander of the imperial guards, has made great achievements. First, he went to Jin as a deputy envoy. The Turks and the Turks reached a friendship, which saved the border of the three countries from the flames of war, and the people lived and worked in peace. He also went to the south of the Yangtze River to pacify the rebels of the White Lotus Sect who had been in the south of the Yangtze River for decades, and captured 700 heads of the rebels. The credit is obvious to all. He was given the purple gold seal of the Song and Qing Dynasties to lead the imperial guards, and was promoted to the Earl of Anyuan, hereditary, and rode horses in the palace For the great honor, I will give you a mansion and a thousand taels of silver."

"Chen Song Qing took the decree to thank you!"

"General Cheng Kai of Longwuwei, he made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion in Qingzhou, and suppressed the rebels of the White Lotus Sect. He won the heads of 600 people, gave Cheng Kai a golden seal, added a noble Dingyuan Viscount with a hundred households, a mansion, a hundred taels of silver, and a pair of pearls! "

"The minister Cheng Kai took the order to thank you!"

"General Xiaoguowei has made great achievements in suppressing the rebels of the White Lotus Sect. He beheaded 500 people. He was added to the baron of Qingtong with a hundred households in Shiyi and a thousand taels of silver!"

"My minister, Zhou Baoyu, takes the decree to thank you!"

"General Jiang Lei of Longwuwei has worked hard and made great achievements. Baron Jia Yi'an has a hundred households and a hundred taels of silver!"

"My minister Jiang Lei accepts the decree to thank you!"

"General of Longwuwei"

"."

Of the thirteen generals who followed Liu Mingzhi, seven were knighted, and the remaining six were at least promoted to the rank of martial arts under the sixth rank.

Du Chenghao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the other two ministers naturally heard the news that his son had become Wu Xun.

Everyone was happy and cheerful in their hearts, and kept secretly thinking that there was nothing wrong with befriending Liu Mingzhi at the beginning.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a step up to the sky from a white dude to the position of a military general of the sixth rank!
"Dr. Liu Mingzhi, Tongyuan Boyin Qingguanglu, listen to the letter!"

"Chen Liu Mingzhi accepts the order!"

"Liu Mingzhi has made great achievements in destroying the traitors of the White Lotus Sect. He has made countless contributions. Sweet potatoes are one thing that enriches the world's granary. Uncle Liu Mingzhi of Tongyuan was promoted to Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, hereditary, and ten thousand households. The mansion, the honor of riding a horse in the palace!"

With a crash, all civil and military personnel in the court stared closely at Liu Mingzhi who was kneeling on the ground, their eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred!Although these rewards are due to Liu Mingzhi's contribution, but Liu Mingzhi is really too young.

"Liu Mingzhi listens!"

How come?This is what everyone thinks. If Jiang Yuanming, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is still alive, the official position is dead, and if the title is reappointed, he will be the Duke of the State.

"Qi Yun of the Liu family is virtuous and virtuous, with noble conduct, and a woman obeys her husband. I will be granted the second rank of Qi Yun of the Liu family, a royal lady, a gold and silver beaded phoenix robe, ten pieces of cloud crane brocade clothes, and a golden silk cloud with a phoenix head. Fork ten!"

"Chen Liu Mingzhi leads the decree to thank you!"

"The Marquis of Wanhu, Liu Mingzhi, listens to the decree!"

Why is he still meowing!This is the unanimous thought of all ministers.

Those who knew Liu Mingzhi was a close minister of the emperor, but those who didn't know thought he was his own son.

Zhou Fei took the last imperial decree and straightened up, cleared his throat and looked at the emperor.

Li Zheng glanced at Liu Mingzhi and nodded slightly.
