Could it be that Your Majesty is planning to appoint His Highness the Second Prince as the Crown Prince?
Within a short period of time, apart from this idea, the civil and military officials in the palace could not think of any other reasons.
The civil and military officials secretly thought about this, and secretly shifted their gaze from Liu Chengzhi to Liu Feifei, Liu Chengfeng, Xiao Keai, Liu Chengqian, Liu Zhenghao and their brothers and sisters.
I want to observe how these princes and princesses will react after hearing His Majesty's instructions.
However, when the eyes of the civil and military officials fell on Liu Feifei, Liu Chengfeng, Xiao Kaitai and their brothers and sisters, they saw that it was indeed the brothers and sisters who were talking, laughing and discussing in soft words. Something interesting.
As if, as if he didn't care at all about the decision His Majesty made just now.
Seeing the reactions of Liu Feifei, Liu Chengfeng, their brothers and sisters, all the officials were startled, and a trace of astonishment flashed in their eyes.
Why, how could this happen?
Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, Her Royal Highness the Second Princess, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Prince, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess... Are their reactions too abnormal?
Could it be that they and others don't care at all about His Majesty's two decisions just now?
Can't they guess what the two decisions His Majesty just made mean?
As the princesses are from a family of daughters, it is reasonable for them to react like this.
After all, if nothing unexpected happens, the position of Crown Prince and Crown Prince will most likely not fall to these sisters.
But His Highness the Eldest Prince, His Highness the Third Prince, His Highness the Fourth Prince and their brothers are all seven-foot tall men.
Their brothers are also one of the current princes and royal highnesses, which means that their brothers are also qualified to be appointed as princes and princes and become successors.
Have they never thought about competing for that position, that chair?
After all the civil and military officials came to their senses one after another, the expressions deep in their eyes were different.
Many young and backward officials still had a faint look of doubt in their eyes.
As for the old foxes who were important ministers in the court, their reactions were much more complicated.
For example, Xia Gongming, the first assistant in the cabinet, Cai Jun, the Rongwei Hou, Wei Yong, the second assistant, Tong Sansi, Du Chenghao, Song Yu and other elders from several dynasties had a touch of joy in their eyes.
The eldest prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince reacted this way, which means that these princes can view the position of the crown prince with a normal heart.
This means that in the future, it is very likely that the princes and their highnesses will not fight against each other and kill each other in order to fight for power.
This situation is nothing short of a great good thing for the Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty.
After all, as elders of several dynasties, these people are very aware of how terrifying it is for the princes and their highnesses to compete for power.
Once a prince seizes the throne, it means that the current situation is turbulent and the government is unstable.
Above the temple, everyone is in danger, and there are gaps between colleagues.
The common people suffered innocently, war broke out everywhere, and their lives were devastated.
Whenever a prince fights for power, it means that there will be a bloody storm in the court and in the world.
Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about the exchange between the late Emperor Wuzong and the brothers King Qing and King Shu more than ten years ago. This is the most vivid example.
For these veterans who have experienced the past events, even though many years have passed, they are all still vivid in their minds whenever they think back to those past events.
Now, all the princes and highnesses can live in harmony with each other and respect each other as brothers, friends and brothers. How can they, the old ministers, not be happy about it.
Xia Gongming gently twirled the Chao Hut in his hand and turned to look at Mr. Liu who was standing next to the stove. His old eyes were full of emotion.
Immediately, he muttered to himself.
"Your Majesty is lucky, the dragon is lucky. The world is lucky, all people are lucky!"
As if Liu Mingzhi did not see the reaction of the civil and military officials in the palace, he rubbed his hands and turned them over on the stove for a while, then looked at his second son Liu Chengzhi standing beside him with a faint smile.
"Chengzhi."
"My son is here."
"Return to your seats and take your seats."
"Yes, thank you very much, Father."
"Ministry of Staff."
"The old minister is here."
"Besides these two things, do you have any other documents to file?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have lost my ability."
"Okay, then go back and take your seats."
"Old minister, I obey. Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the civil and military officials on both sides and asked loudly: "Is there any other dear friend who has a book to report?"
"Back to Your Majesty, my brother Wanyan Feixiong has something to report."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and looked at Wanyan Feixiong, who rarely appeared in the court, with a faint smile.
"allow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wanyan Feixiong stood up and walked to Young Master Liu. He chuckled and took out two books from his sleeves.
"Your Majesty, I already have the five-year plan that your Majesty mentioned to me back then..."
Young Master Liu heard Wanyan Feixiong's words and quickly raised his hand to signal before he could finish his words.
"etc."
Wanyan Feixiong's words stopped abruptly and he looked at his brother-in-law with a puzzled expression.
"His Majesty?"
Liu Mingzhi glanced sideways at the few books in Wanyan Feixiong's hand, and waved to Liu Song with a faint smile.
"Komatsu."
"yes."
"Flying bear."
"My brother is here."
"I will review these documents that you have authenticated after I get back. You can give them to Liu Song first."
"Yes, my brother obeys your orders."
Wanyan Feixiong nodded and immediately handed the document in his hand to Liu Song.
"Brother Song, please."
"OK."
After Liu Song took the document, he silently stepped aside.
"Flying Bear."
"My brother is here."
"Do you have any other paperwork to file?"
"Back to Your Majesty, my brother is gone."
"Okay, go back and sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Wanyan Feixiong took his seat and Young Master Liu was about to speak, Xiao Chengzi hurriedly walked into the hall.
"Old slave, please see your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Chengzi with a chuckle.
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Little Chengzi, are you ready?"
"I have reported back to Your Majesty, and I have already prepared the correct version. I am just waiting for His Majesty's oral instructions."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and casually put away his hands on top of the stove.
"Pass it on."
"yes."
Little Chengzi immediately trotted outside the palace gate and gently shook the fly whisk in her hand.
"His Majesty dictates the banquet."
As soon as Xiao Chengzi finished speaking, a large group of palace maids and eunuchs lined up in two rows, each carrying a steaming tray and walked into the hall.
Young Master Liu walked to the exquisite carpet in the center of the hall and sat down cross-legged. He glanced at the civil and military officials on both sides with a smile.
"My lords and ministers, dear ministers, have you all had breakfast before you enter the palace to go to court?"
Upon hearing Young Master Liu's question, the civil and military officials were startled, and they all looked at the trays in the hands of the eunuchs and maids.
"Back to Your Majesty, I got up too late and didn't have breakfast."
"Your Majesty, my wife has already prepared a satisfying breakfast for me.
Unfortunately, I was so anxious to enter the palace to attend court that I didn't even get a bite to eat."
"Your Majesty, my belly is empty."
Liu Mingzhi looked around at the civil and military officials in the palace, and casually rolled up the cuffs of his dragon robe.
"Are you sure you haven't had breakfast? Don't wait until later just to cater to my kindness.
If this is the case, it will be you who will suffer when the time comes."
Hearing Young Master Liu's question again, the civil and military officials shook their heads without hesitation.
"Go back to Your Majesty, I'll be sure."
Young Master Liu nodded happily, raised his head and waved to the palace maids and eunuchs standing on both sides.
"Let's have a feast."
"Slave, please obey."
A large group of eunuchs and palace maids immediately walked towards the civil and military officials on both sides with the trays in their hands.
Little Chengzi took the tray from a young eunuch, walked slowly to Young Master Liu and stopped.
"Your Majesty, this is yours."
"Well, let it go."
Little Chengzi placed the tray in front of Young Master Liu, picked up the spare pair of chopsticks on the tray, and picked up a dumpling from the bowl.
Liu Dashan saw Xiao Chengzi's behavior and waved his hand casually.
"No need, there are so many people who want to harm me."
Little Chengzi nodded quickly, put the dumplings back into the bowl, and retreated to Liu Song with the chopsticks in her hand.
"Yes, yes, I obey."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the exquisite rice bowl with one hand and the chopsticks next to it with the other hand, and turned to look at the civil and military officials on both sides.
"Dear ladies, today's imperial gathering is the first imperial gathering this year.
Now that spring has just entered, the weather is still cold in the morning, and it is not very comfortable to be hungry.
So, I am in charge of the food today.
However, I don’t know what your taste is, dear friends.
After thinking about it, I realized that the Lantern Festival had just passed yesterday, so I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some dumplings and glutinous rice balls for us.
In addition, add a bowl of dumpling soup and a pile of pickles, after all, the original soup becomes the original food.
As for whether you like to eat it or not, that's all."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. Long live our Emperor."
"Then use your chopsticks."
"Thank you Your Majesty for the banquet."
"By the way, I would like to remind you that today's dumplings are filled with leek and egg. You must be careful after eating the dumplings to avoid inhaling the surrounding colleagues."
When all the civil and military officials heard Mr. Liu's joking words, they all laughed heartily.
"Hahahaha, thank you Your Majesty for reminding me, I will pay attention to it."
"Your Majesty, if you didn't tell me, I still wouldn't know.
Later, after I eat the leek and egg dumplings, I must smoke this old thing, Lao Du."
"Also, the pickles on your tray are pickled by the Queen herself.
You are not allowed to be left behind.
Otherwise, the Queen will be unhappy when she finds out."
"Your Majesty, if you say that, then I will only eat this plate of pickles."
"It's very true. Even if I don't eat, I dare to live up to the queen's craftsmanship."
"Colleagues, this is not how flattering works.
If you only eat the pickles made by the Empress herself, you won't be afraid of being caught.
However, I am different. My hometown is Sichuan, and I grew up eating kimchi made by my parents themselves.
I don’t like anything else but a bite of pickles.”
"Hey, Lao Wang, when it comes to being thick-skinned, you are the old guy."
When Liu Dashan saw the civil and military officials teasing each other, he picked up a dumpling.
"Okay, then use your chopsticks and let's talk about business while eating."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Young Master Liu ate four or five dumplings in one go, he turned sideways and looked at Liu Song and Xiao Chengzi who were standing behind him.
"Yanagi Song, Xiao Chengzi."
"The little one is here."
"The old slave is here."
"You two, stop standing around. Aren't there still a few bowls of dumplings and glutinous rice balls left? You two should sit down and eat together."
"Hey, thank you young master."
"Old slave, thank you, Your Majesty."
Young Master Liu swallowed the dumplings in his mouth and waved the chopsticks in his hand casually.
"Go, go, have breakfast quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."
"I understand, little one."
"Old slave, go right away."
Young Master Liu took a sip of dumpling soup and looked at the civil and military officials on both sides with a faint smile.
"My dear friends, is there any other dear friend who has a copy that he would like to report?
If you have the skills, you don’t need to get up and just reply directly.”
"Your Majesty, I have a report from Honglu Temple."
"allow."
"Your Majesty, Haining Hou An Jianghe has not given any information to the court for nearly half a year..."
After listening to the reply from Honglu Temple Qing Wang Hezheng, Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and picked up another small bowl of glutinous rice balls.
"I have my own plans regarding the Haining Houan River."
"Yes, I obey my orders."
After Wang Hezheng picked up the bowls and chopsticks again, Liu Mingzhi turned and looked at Xia Gongming, the chief minister of the cabinet.
"My lord."
"The old minister is here."
"Willow Pine."
"The little one is here."
Liu Mingzhi put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, reached out and took out the stack of rice paper from his sleeve, and handed it directly to Liu Song.
"Liu Song, send it to the boss."
"Yes, I will obey, little one."
Liu Song took the document, walked quickly to Xia Gongming, and handed over the stack of rice paper in his hand with a faint smile.
"Mr. Xia, please."
Xia Gongming took a stack of rice paper into his hand and looked at Young Master Liu with a puzzled expression.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
"I have drafted some new decrees, and your cabinet has carefully discussed them together.
If you have any questions, just send someone to ask me directly.
If there are no doubts, immediately send orders to all the officials in all regions and state capitals to inform all the people in the world."
Xia Gongming's expression became serious, he lowered his head and glanced at the content on the first piece of rice paper, and then directly put the rice paper into his sleeve.
"Old minister, I understand."
"Continue eating."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Is there any other lover who has a copy that you would like to read?"
All the civil and military officials in the palace looked at each other, and after confirming that no one was speaking, they unanimously put down their bowls and chopsticks and picked up the Chao Hut beside them.
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to do with you."
"Okay, let's continue to eat. After breakfast, we will go to court."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Flying Bear."
"My brother is here."
"When you have time, go home and take a look. Your sister misses you."
