Start with a hero

Chapter 85
After a long time, when Li Shanchang and others were worried, Li Yizhi nodded lightly and said: "You are right, the world is almost settled now, and it is really not a problem that I still bear the title of leader. How about it, Li Shanchang , The enthronement ceremony is up to you, and other people will assist in doing it."

Li Shanchang and the others were overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the leader, we will be able to get everything done within seven days at most."

"Seven days, so fast, is it too hasty?"

Li Yizhi felt that he somewhat underestimated the eagerness of these civil servants.

Li Shanchang shook his head again and again, and said: "Master, the seven days are not fast. The palace can use the City Lord's Mansion first, and then expand it later. The other various offerings to heaven will not waste much time."

Li Yizhi nodded and said, "That's fine."

After Li Shanchang and others went out, they immediately made people publicize that the leader of the church would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor seven days later.

All of a sudden, the entire city of Nanjing was boiling, and it spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed. Wherever it passed, there was joy everywhere.

After being enslaved for decades, the Han people finally stood up and re-established their clothes.

Yang Xiao and the others were naturally extremely happy, because once Li Yizhi became emperor, they, as the earliest supporters, would definitely be rewarded.

The seven days passed quickly.

On the day he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Li Yizhi led a group of officials to sacrifice to heaven.

Standing on the high platform, he looked at the tens of thousands of people kneeling below, and the shouts of "Long live my emperor, long live" echoed in his ears.

At this moment, Li Yizhi really realized that he became the master of this country and possessed the power of life and death in the whole world.

However, he did not have a domineering heart like ordinary people, but instead had a peaceful mind, and his whole person fell into emptiness.

In this state, Li Yizhi felt that the blood qi immersed in the flesh and blood seemed to become active in an instant, and he could easily mobilize it with a thought, without the need to use moves to pull and carry it.

At this moment, Li Yizhi knew that with the opportunity of proclaiming himself emperor, his martial arts perfectly matched the national road, pushing his realm to the brink of breakthrough.

Withdrawing from the state of emptiness, Li Yizhi yelled: "Pingshen!"

"Thanks my emperor!"

After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, it will be the Great Dynasty.

Li Yizhi needs to reward everyone and determine the administrative system of the court.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Yizhi listened to the edict read out by the servant beside him. These were all drawn up by him long ago. The first thing was to establish the name of the country as 'Ming'.

The next step is to reward Yang Xiao and others, there are hundreds of people.

Yang Xiao was named Xiaoyao King, and Yin Tianzheng was named Sky Eagle King.

According to the original arrangement, Li Yu was also going to be crowned king, but just as the servant was about to read it out, Li Yizhi interrupted him, saying: "Li Yu is skipping the award, I will make other arrangements later."

Li Yu looked depressed, but he didn't have any resentment. He and his master felt like father and son, and believed that the master would not treat him badly.

Yang Xiao and the others looked puzzled. They knew very well the weight Li Yu held in Li Yizhi's heart. After all, Li Yu handled many political affairs.

The servant paused for a while, and continued to read the imperial decree. Wei Yixiao, Wu Sanren, Yin Yewang and others were granted marquis status. As for the other high-ranking members of Mingjiao, they ranged from earls to barons.

All in all, everyone is happy. After Li Yizhi ascended the throne, he did not treat them badly.

Although these titles do not have fiefdoms, they are rich in salaries and enjoy many privileges, which they are satisfied with.

After the announcement of these awards, the next step is to appoint the ministers of the court.

After careful consideration, Li Yizhi decided to adopt the system of concurrently establishing the cabinet and six ministries.

There are seven academicians in the cabinet to assist the emperor in handling political affairs. After the emperor approves the handling method, the emperor orders the six ministries to implement it.

Among them, the cabinet scholars have no actual power, but the emperor's think tank, which can effectively prevent the cabinet from becoming big and threatening the imperial power.

Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and others became the first cabinet bachelors.

After the servants finished announcing all the appointments, it was almost evening. Although everyone was hungry, they didn't feel anything at all, and they were all excited and forgot.

Everyone raised their heads together and looked at Li Yizhi who was sitting on the dragon chair, curious about Li Yu's appointment and dismissal.

Li Yizhi said solemnly: "Li Yu listens."

"Your Majesty, the minister is here!" Li Yu hurried out and bowed.

Li Yizhi said: "From now on, I will accept you as my adopted son and make you the crown prince to supervise the country."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Li Yu was dumbfounded, but everyone in the court hall was also dumbfounded.

What is this emperor going to do, not only appointing his apprentice as the prince, but also ordering the prince to supervise the country, is this the rhythm of abdicating the throne and letting the virtuous?
Yang Xiao and others, as well as many courtiers, tried to dissuade him.

Li Yu also hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible, please take it back."

Li Yizhi said firmly: "Okay, this matter is settled like this. I have said what I said, how can I go back on what I said, how will I rule the world in the future. By the way, I have arranged a celebration banquet, everyone go to the side hall."

Seeing that Li Yizhi's attitude was firm, everyone had no choice but to accept it for now. As for the matter of the prince, we will talk about it later.

When the emperor has concubines and heirs, it is naturally impossible to give up the throne to outsiders.

Li Yu knelt on the ground, his mind was buzzing all the time, he thought that he would become king, and he would have endless glory and wealth from now on.

However, he never thought that Master would make him the crown prince!

This was something he didn't dare to think about at all, and even though the master's attitude was firm now, Li Yu still didn't have any joy in his heart, but was cold and frightened, because he thought further.

In the future, if Master marries a wife and has children, will he still be able to sit firmly as the crown prince?
At that time, it will not be simply abolished, but there may be life-threatening!

Throughout the banquet, Li Yu was in a daze, and the other ministers did not come forward to make friends. Even those from the original Qinglong gang seemed to be alienated on purpose.

The banquet lasted until midnight, and all the ministers left one after another. Li Yu was about to leave when he was stopped by a servant, saying that Li Yizhi was looking for him.

In the imperial study room, Li Yizhi looked at Li Yu's confused state, and sighed, "Xiaoyu, do you not understand why I let you be the crown prince and supervise the country?"

boom!
Li Yu knelt down and begged, "Master, please take it back."

"Get up, don't worry, those things you think will not happen, you will be the next emperor." Li Yizhi said.

But Li Yu refused to get up, raised his head and said: "Master, please forgive me for being bold. You just don't have any children now. With Master's cultivation, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to live for another hundred years. By then, there must be a lot of children and grandchildren. Where is the disciple?" Dare to hope for the crown prince."

Li Yi stepped forward, pulled Li Yu up, and said, "Although you and I are called master and apprentice, we are like father and son. When we talk, we will be so different. To tell you the truth, when I was offering sacrifices to heaven, there was something This feeling, I may not be able to stay in this world for long, so I made a temporary decision to make you the prince."

Li Yu looked terrified in his eyes, and asked anxiously: "Master, how did this happen? Your cultivation base is so high, even if it is compared to Zhang Sanfeng, I am afraid it is not much inferior. No one in this world can threaten you."

Li Yizhi shook his head and said: "It's not because of external reasons, but because of myself. My current cultivation has reached the edge of a breakthrough, but I'm not completely sure whether I can break through smoothly. If it fails... Therefore, I have no choice. Don’t make plans early. But it’s okay, you have a good prestige in the hearts of our original generals, and you can get their support, so you don’t have to worry too much about the stability of the throne.”

Li Yu still anxiously said: "Master, since breaking through is dangerous, why do you need to break through. What's wrong with sitting on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers! And in the future, disciples can also honor you well."

"Personal pursuits are different. What I pursue is martial arts, and the throne is not attractive to me. Therefore, even if I know there is danger, I will not back down, otherwise I will lose my heart for martial arts."

Li Yizhi waved his hands and said: "Okay, don't be a mother-in-law anymore. Although I have been training you deliberately all these years, you can be regarded as a talent, and it should not be a big problem to be a qualified emperor. But there are some words, I Say you listen."

"Yes, Master."

Seeing that Li Yizhi had made up his mind, Li Yu didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

Li Yizhi said: "Those people of Mingjiao, although I have bestowed high-ranking officials and rich salary, they are still people in the martial arts and do not understand the government, but they think that the world was brought down by them. I am afraid that they will like to interfere in the government in the future. In the future, you will be the emperor. Finally, we must not indulge them, and the methods can be harsher."

Li Yu's eyes widened, unable to believe that this was what Master said.

　Thank you Shell House, It's Really Difficult to Name, It's Rare to Watch the Genuine Edition, Hu Wei, etc. for their rewards.
