Everyone thought that the emperor's favor for Bai Sheng had reached its peak at this palace banquet, but in fact, it was the opposite, this was just the beginning.

At the court meeting on the second day, the emperor announced a holy decree with lightning speed.

All the princes, including the twenty-three princes who had just completed the moon, were all knighted.

The eldest prince is King Amber, the third prince is King Rui, the fourth prince is King Cong, the fifth prince is King Ji, the sixth prince is King Li, the seventh prince is King Min, and the tenth prince is King Yu.

The 12th prince is King Minzhang.

The rest of the young princes were also crowned princes related to jade. And the canonization ceremony was scheduled to take place five days later.

As soon as this holy decree came out, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked.

The prince not only has the requirements of age, but also as an important agenda in the court meeting after the discussion of the civil and military officials to decide that it is feasible, first by the Taichang Temple to inform the regulations, and preside over a matter of worship, sacrifice, divination, inform the first emperor, etc., and then by the Ministry of Rites according to the merits and character of the prince to be canonized to set a few suitable titles for the emperor to choose, and assist the Taichang Temple, such as the sewing of dresses, the writing of documents, all kinds of utensils, etc., cumbersome and complicated.

It took a long and cumbersome process to make the canonization ceremony take place.

But this time, everyone was caught off guard.

Taichang Temple panicked, the Ministry of Rites panicked, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were not calm.

The decree was drawn up by the emperor himself, without consulting anyone in advance, and without showing the slightest hint, including the princes who were about to be crowned kings.

It can be seen that the emperor is not a whim, at least not the result of impulse.

Only then did the civil and military officials remember that they were from the province, whether they had gone too far in doing things recently, which made the emperor displeased, and they didn't even bother to beat them again, and directly proved with their actions that this Dayue was still the emperor's Dayue, and they were still the emperor's courtiers. The emperor did whatever he wanted, even without their consent at all.

The decree has been announced, and there is no point in opposing it at this time, and a careless person may be seized by a political enemy, and make a big fuss and say that it is to resist the decree and bully the king.

Even if he is unwilling, he has to show a look of joy and relief, so as to indirectly show his loyalty to the emperor.

Although the officials praised "My Emperor Shengming" in their mouths, it did not affect their minds in the slightest, and they did everything possible to find out the difficulties of this canonization ceremony.

The five-day time is indeed too rushed, but it is too late to tailor the clothes for the princes, not to mention the need to prepare tribute to the heavens, ritual vessels, livestock, etc., which is really difficult to complete.

Officials everywhere wept and spoke of their own hardships, and seemed to be distressed that it was difficult for them to fulfill His Majesty's requirements, and some even took retreat as advance, saying to the emperor that they were not of great use and could not be qualified for their current official positions, and wept bitterly and asked His Majesty the Emperor to choose another meritorious.

As a result, the emperor, who never acted according to common sense, once again did not disappoint everyone. Looking at these courtiers who thought they had won back a city, the emperor actually allowed the play.

The hall was frighteningly quiet for a moment. Everyone didn't dare to come out, let alone say a word more.

You must know that the few people who just resigned are important figures, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't even blink an eye, and if he said no, he really didn't need it. It doesn't seem to be worried at all that these important places will be messed up without Shangguan.

As for the rush of time, His Majesty the Emperor first gave affirmation, and the rush was indeed a bit hasty, but he still believed that his love was capable of accomplishing it.

If it really can't be done, it doesn't matter, anyway, the emperor believes that the county lord Wenxi will definitely have a way.

At this moment, many officials are complaining in their hearts. This is really lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot, there is no way, you can only bite the bullet, you have to do it, you have to do it, you have to do it!

The emperor's meaning has been very clear, and important officials will be removed when they say that they will be dismissed, and the rest, such as weaving, will not be a problem. After all, there is still the power of the county lord Wenxi and the Helian clan behind her, and these things that require money and goods have never been a problem for the "No. 1 merchant in the world".
