The news of Young Master Liu's departure and return was passed to Su An, the chief steward, by the young eunuch outside the royal study.
Su An, who was well aware of Young Master Liu's position in Li Ye's mind, naturally did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly reported the matter to Li Ye.
Li Ye, who was sitting in front of Long'an and was tortured by the memorial, his eyes lit up after hearing Su An's words. He hurriedly put down the ink pen in his hand and walked out of the hall.
"Uncle, why are you back again?"
After Li Ye asked this question, he regretted it, because he suddenly remembered the hesitant look on Mr. Liu's face in Qinzheng Hall. Didn't his uncle's departure and return coincide with the previous look?
"Your Majesty, Liu Mingzhi, is here to see you. Long live my emperor!"
"Uncle, please excuse me quickly and please come in!"
"Uncle, this is at the back of the palace, not above the court. Our family does not speak the same language as the two families. We must not do such etiquette when we see our children in the future."
"Let's talk in the palace."
Liu Mingzhi straightened up slightly and shook his head silently.
"Your Majesty, the etiquette cannot be discarded."
"Although I am your uncle, I am also a court official."
"It is natural for me to salute Your Majesty. Your Majesty must not be too humble, otherwise you will lose the majesty of the emperor."
Although Li Ye behaved humbly in front of him, Young Master Liu did not dare to believe it.
He knew very little about Li Ye. Fourteen years old is already a time when a person has a sound mind. It would be better for him not to act like a fool in front of Li Ye like he did in front of Li Zheng and his son.
As an emperor and a courtier, sometimes you must clearly define your position.
If someone gives you a pole, just climb up and you will die sooner or later.
Liu Mingzhi did not want to have the reputation of being arrogant because of his talent and underestimating the emperor because of his army.
Li Ye looked at Young Master Liu's hunched body, the complex look in his eyes flashed away, and he nodded silently.
"It doesn't matter, uncle, you can do whatever you like from now on. Ye'er won't force you to do anything."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Uncle, please come inside. As the saying goes, you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. There must be something important when you go and come back. Let's discuss it in detail inside."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Young Master Liu complimented him and followed Li Ye into the imperial study.
As soon as he stepped into the palace, Mr. Liu's eyes began to scan subconsciously.
Ever since the rebellion of Li Yunlong and others happened, Liu Mingzhi understood that there was nothing simple in this small royal study.
Perhaps the moment he walked in, there were dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him closely, and the source was none other than Ouchi masters and spy agents.
As for whether there are other forces, Mr. Liu has no idea.
Glancing at the half-foot-small portrait hanging next to Li Zheng, Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, feeling sad and sad in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
The portrait is naturally that of Li Baiyu, but compared to the portrait of Li Zheng, Li Baiyu's portrait is really too young.
Thinking of what Li Chengbai, the newly appointed Zongren Mansion Commander, said: The late emperor died young, so the day of his death will naturally be different from the ancestral system, Liu Mingzhi vaguely remembered the last time he saw Li Baiyu before going out for the expedition.
past.
Who would have thought that this farewell would become an eternal farewell.
"Your Majesty, can I offer a stick of incense to the late Emperor?"
"Of course, Ye'er will hold the incense for you."
After speaking, Li Ye walked to the altar table under the portrait, took out nine sticks of incense and lit it on the candle.
When smoke and dust emerged from Gao Xiang, Li Ye handed Gao Xiang to Liu Mingzhi.
"Uncle, Grandpa Huang has six fragrances, and father Huang has three fragrances."
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently, took the incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, then lifted up his clothes and made a few salutes.
"My father is above me, my brother is above me, I hope you have spirits in heaven to keep my country, Dalong, safe and sound, and prosperous."
Liu Mingzhi stood up, sighed, took out two books he had written, and held them in front of Li Ye.
Looking at Li Ye's puzzled look, Liu Mingzhi waved his hand slightly: "Your Majesty, speak in front of the table!"
"good!"
Li Ye sat on the dragon chair. He wanted the eunuch to arrange a chair for Young Master Liu, but he found that Young Master Liu was standing upright opposite his desk, with a very serious look on his face.
Gently separate the books on both sides and place them in front of Li Ye.
Young Master Liu gently opened the cover of the first volume.
"Your Majesty, the late emperor has unfortunately passed away. Your Majesty is young, the situation in the court is complicated, and all the officials have different thoughts."
"Especially the veterans left behind by Ruizong. If they rely on their status to do something disobedient to His Majesty, it will be difficult for His Majesty to control them with his current power."
"I am about to march to the north, so I can rest assured about everything. I am only worried about whether your Majesty can control these civil and military ministers."
"Your Majesty, in the beginning, they are afraid of the majesty of the emperor, and they may respect him."
"If time passes and Your Majesty is still unable to control the heroes, then these courtiers will definitely have different intentions."
"If the king is weak and his ministers are strong, the country will be in serious trouble."
"If I were in the capital, I would still be able to guard the court for Your Majesty, assist Your Majesty in reorganizing the imperial court with all my heart, and support Your Majesty's hegemony."
"However, the military disaster of the Turks and the Jin Kingdom is just around the corner. I can only avoid the important and take the easy, and focus on the war in the northern frontier."
"Which is the lesser of the two powers harming each other, Your Majesty, the current situation has changed drastically, and external troubles are far more serious than internal troubles."
"Therefore, His Majesty is the only one who can take care of the affairs of the court. I hope that Your Majesty can restore the glory of our great dragon."
"Reappear the imperial majesty of the two generations of ancestors Ruizong and Wuzong."
Li Ye looked at the sad look on Young Master Liu's face, and his eyes were slightly sour.
What his uncle said, even his father had never said to him, Li Ye was already mentally sound, let’s not talk about his imperial power, but it didn’t mean that he couldn’t feel the ardent hope for him in Liu Dashao’s words.
.
"Uncle!"
Liu Mingzhi sighed and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I have received great kindness from two generations of late emperors and have nothing to repay. I can only do my best to serve Your Majesty by being loyal to Your Majesty."
"The Northern Expedition is about to begin. When I think of the difficulties that your Majesty may encounter in the future, I feel sad all night long and have trouble sleeping and eating, fearing that I will live up to the high hopes of two generations of late emperors."
"Therefore, although I have not been in the court these days, I am not playing around in the world. Instead, I am staying behind closed doors and thinking carefully, hoping to find some good strategies for governing the country and ways to govern the country for Your Majesty."
"The emperor has paid off, and perhaps God has pity for my hard work, and finally ordered me to write two volumes of books and present them to His Majesty."
"I hope your Majesty will study it carefully and realize your own way of being an emperor."
"Five volumes of documents to govern the country and ten volumes of policies to govern the country."
"These two books are a good remedy for Dalong's current shortcomings. Your Majesty must face up to Dalong's current problems and learn from them a good remedy to diagnose and treat Dalong."
"In order to cure the disease with medicine!"
Li Ye's eyes subconsciously focused on the two books on the desk.
The cover of the book is not gorgeous, there are no drawings on it, only the six characters "Statement of the State" and "Government Policy".
"Uncle, this..."
"Your Majesty, after I leave the north, Your Majesty must rely more on the assistance of Mr. Xia Gong and Ming Xia."
"Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Mr. Xia cannot be said to have no selfish motives at all, but when it comes to people who are loyal to the public, Mr. Xia is definitely unique."
"The Prime Minister on the left and the Prime Minister on the right are too competitive for power. Your Majesty must be careful to watch out for the two of them and let them check and balance each other. You must not let one of them dominate."
"The six ministers among the six ministers are all good ministers in governing the country. They may be slightly lacking in some aspects, but their methods of governing the country are enough to make up for everything."
"Your Majesty must not let them retire and return to their hometowns. When the government is stable and there are promising talents, your Majesty will decide whether to allow them to return to their hometowns."
Li Ye frowned and looked at Young Master Liu with a loud voice.
"Uncle, you talked too much. Ye'er can't remember it. Ye'er's mind has been messed up in the court today."
Liu Mingzhi was stunned and looked at Li Ye sadly.
"I almost forgot. Li Ye has just come to court a few times, and he has said a lot. It's understandable that Li Ye can't bear it!"
"Your Majesty, please rest for a while. I will wait for you outside the palace. When you have rested, I will come in again."
“Isn’t this bad!”
"There's nothing wrong with it. If the affairs of the court are not properly arranged, how can I be able to march north with peace of mind!"
"This is the national certificate and the policy of governing the country is the only good medicine you rely on now, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, for the sake of our ancestors' inheritance, it is inevitable that you will suffer a lot and be tired!"
"Your Majesty, please treat it as a good medicine that tastes bitter and is beneficial to the disease."
