Chapter seven hundred and eighty second Daxing award
Li Zheng looked at Liu Mingzhi’s blank expression and sighed and waved his hand: “Sit down!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Liu Aiqing, do you think what I said is against ethics? Why do you think this world is so absurd?"
"I don't dare!"
"If you don't dare, just do it! I know what you are thinking, but even I can't do anything about it. What you think about is how to fulfill your duty as the imperial envoy and commander of the bandits, but what I think about is how to be a good emperor.
I am in charge of a world with tens of thousands of people!"
"Do you think I want to see those officials enrich themselves? I don't want to either. I am very clear about the grievances circulated among the people about me. King Duan controls the government and the left prime minister has friends. I am very clear about it. It is unethical to criticize me.
I never care about it, because I really failed to give the people of the world a chance to clarify the world's duty!"
"I also want to kill all the corrupt officials in the world, but Emperor Taizu Gao told me with bloody facts that there is no end to the world's corrupt officials. If you kill one group, another group will come. This is human nature. If you want to kill all the human nature, you must
There are no human beings in this world, so these corrupt officials can live and continue to sit on their buttocks."
"I understand, I understand!"
"Liu Aiqing, please count the corrupt officials you captured. Although they are greedy, they do not violate the law. Although they are greedy, they do not neglect their duties. Although they are greedy, they do not harm the people. Even though they are greedy, they do practical things. In my eyes, they are better than the talkative ones in front of the palace.
In terms of benevolence, justice and morality, officials who act recklessly with morality first are ten times or a hundred times better. There is black and white, which is the most important thing in the world. This is the helplessness of being an emperor!"
"I can kill and kill if I am in your position, but not in my position. Without them, the world will be in chaos, and without their restraint, the people will rebel. The dragon is gone, how can you still
Is it right for you to sit here and play with me?"
"I know I was wrong, but I thought it was too simple!"
Li Zheng sighed: "Do you know what to do?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded lightly as his third uncle's last words before his death came to mind: "The governor of Qifu has behaved unethically, and he will be fined half a year as a warning to others!"
Li Zheng nodded slightly: "There is no need to talk about the case of missing tax money. You did a good job in supervising the case of suppressing bandits. Where is the fourth brother?"
"Now I am temporarily staying in your residence. I am just about to ask your majesty whether to hand it over to the clan residence or to the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment? But it is up to your majesty to handle it!"
"Leave it to the clan government. After all, it is a royal matter. The Dali Temple of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is not suitable to handle it. You did a good job in not mentioning this matter in the memorial!"
"Your Majesty, this is your duty!"
"Liu Aiqing!"
"I'm here!"
"Today there are only you and me, the monarch and my ministers. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I know and understand many things very well. I have also heard about Wei Aiqing's affairs. I have also heard to some extent about the persecution suffered by Ling Daoming, the governor of Yangzhou.
!But I didn’t ask about this matter, do you know why?”
Liu Mingzhi felt something in his heart. 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.
"I am foolish and ignorant, so naturally I don't understand your majesty's profound meaning!"
Li Zheng held the wine glass and nodded after a moment: "Forget it if you don't understand. Ling Yang will be pardoned for the crime of exile, Ling Weier will move out of the Jiaofang Division, and the brother and sister will return to Liang. I'll leave this matter to you.
, since Ling Daoming has died and joined the White Lotus Sect to participate in the rebellion case, let it disappear. Just treat it as a piece of cake that I sold to you and made great contributions to it. The matter of finding Ling Yang Ling Weier will be left to you, Aiqing!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Liu Aiqing! Am I really as stupid as the rumors say? Am I really stupid?"
"Your Majesty, most of the rumors among the people are false. The common people are not the same readers and can easily be taken advantage of by those who are interested. Your Majesty's ability not to pursue the slanderous words of the common people is enough to prove that Your Majesty is one of the rare wise kings in the world."
Li Zheng laughed at himself when he heard this: "It's hard to be a wise king. I have too many helpless things. If you want to be a wise king, you must first be a blind man. A wise king will see a lot of dirty things when he opens his eyes, but a wise king can only
Turn a blind eye, because the world is too big for me to see alone! Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s continue the discussion. I have been delayed in the back hall for so long, I don’t know why those ministers are criticizing you in their hearts!”
"Yes, Your Majesty, please!"
"See Your Majesty!"
"No gifts!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Zheng opened the red sandalwood alley above the dragon case and took out two volumes of tightly wrapped imperial edicts and handed them to Zhou Fei, the general manager of the palace: "Declare the edict!"
"yes!"
Zhou Fei put away his fly whisk and took a few steps forward while holding the imperial edict with a serious look on his face.
"Emperor Dalong issued an edict, and all the generals and soldiers who suppressed the bandits obeyed the seal!"
"Long live my emperor!"
"The imperial guard led the Song and Qing Dynasties with great achievements. He first went to Jin as a deputy envoy, and the Turks and Turks established diplomatic relations, which saved the borders of the three countries from war, and the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment. Later, they rectified the chaos in Qingzhou and restored peace to the people of Qingzhou. Today,
He also went to the south of the Yangtze River to pacify the White Lotus Sect rebels who had been in the south for decades, and captured 700 heads of the rebels. His achievements were obvious to all. He was given the purple gold seal of the imperial guard commander in the Song and Qing Dynasties, and was promoted to Earl of Anyuan, hereditary, and in the palace.
For the honor of riding a horse, he will be given a mansion and a thousand taels of silver."
"Your Majesty Song Qing received the decree and thanked you for your kindness!"
"Long Wuwei general Cheng Kai defeated the rebellion in Qingzhou and suppressed the White Lotus Sect rebels. He worked hard and captured 600 heads. He was awarded the golden seal to Cheng Kai and was given the title of Viscount Dingyuan. He had a hundred households in the town, a mansion, a hundred taels of silver, and a pair of pearls.
!”
"Your Majesty, Cheng Kai, accepts the order and expresses gratitude!"
"General Xiaoguo Guard has done great service in pacifying the White Lotus Sect rebels. He beheaded 500 people. He was awarded the title of Baron Qingtong and settled hundreds of households. He also received a thousand taels of silver!"
"Your Majesty Zhou Baoyu accepted the order to thank you!"
"Long Wuwei General Jiang Lei has worked hard and achieved great results, and he has gained Baron Yi'an a hundred households and a hundred taels of silver!"
"Your Majesty Jiang Lei accepts the order and thanks you!"
"General Longwuwei......"
"........."
Seven of the thirteen generals who followed Liu Mingzhi were knighted, and the remaining six were promoted to at least the sixth rank of martial arts.
Du Chenghao, the official minister, and the other two ministers naturally heard the news that his son had become a martial artist.
Everyone felt happy and cheerful in their hearts, and kept secretly thinking that it was not wrong to make friends with Liu Mingzhi in the first place.
It’s no exaggeration to say that from a white-bodied dandy to a sixth-grade military general, he rose to the top in one step!
"Tongyuan Bo Yinqingguanglu doctor Liu Mingzhi has received the title!"
"Your Majesty Liu Mingzhi accepts the order!"
"Liu Mingzhi worked hard to exterminate the rebels of the White Lotus Sect. He has made countless contributions. Sweet potatoes can enrich the world's granaries. Tongyuan Bo Liu Mingzhi was promoted to a marquis of ten thousand households. He was hereditary and fed ten thousand households. He was awarded the title of Purple Gold Guanglu Doctor and was promoted to the Minister of Household Affairs. He was awarded
Mansion, the honor of riding a horse in the palace.!”
With a crash, all the civil and military officials in the court were staring closely at Liu Mingzhi who was kneeling on the ground. Their eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred! Although these rewards were in recognition of Liu Mingzhi's contribution, Liu Mingzhi was really too young.
"Liu Mingzhi accepts the seal!"
Why is it still there? This is what everyone thinks. Jiang Yuanming, the Minister of Household Affairs, is still here, so the official position is no longer available. If he is given a noble title, he will be the Duke of the country.
"Liu family Qi Yun is virtuous and virtuous, with noble conduct, and the wife obeys her husband. She is granted the title of Lady Liu of the second grade of Qi Yun. She has a gold and silver beaded phoenix robe, ten pieces of Yunhe brocade robes, and a golden phoenix head.
Cross ten!"
"Your Majesty Liu Mingzhi accepts the order and expresses gratitude!"
"The Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, Liu Mingzhi, listens to the decree!"
Why is he still there? This is the unanimous thought of all the ministers.
Those who knew Liu Mingzhi was a close minister of the emperor, but those who didn't know thought he was his biological son.
Zhou Fei took the last imperial edict, straightened his waist, cleared his throat and looked at the emperor.
Li Zheng glanced at Liu Mingzhi and nodded slightly.
