Li Zhaotong didn't understand those specific sacrificial rituals, and these were all handled by his father Li Dongyang, who was arranged by the Ministry of Rites, after all, Li Dongyang was still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

After the completion of some tedious etiquette, Emperor Hongzhi walked up to the high platform according to the process, stood beside the bronze bell and made a speech, looking forward to the future.

Then, the time was approaching, that is, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning.

Nine o'clock is the daily opening time stipulated by the Daming Royal Stock Exchange, except for the rest of the day.

Emperor Hongzhi stood on the high platform, his gaze swept in all directions, the eagle raised his eyes, and he was extremely majestic, and then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu, you come to the stage, ring the bronze bell with me, and inform the four directions of heaven and earth."

As soon as Emperor Hongzhi's voice fell, the faces of the ministers below changed a little.

Without him!

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang went up, and there was no problem!

But the key to the problem lies with Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu!

These two people are both nobles! Belongs to the military commander sequence!

Moreover, the British Duke Zhang Mao is guarding the Beijing Division, and although the Chengguo Duke Zhu Fu is now in the Beijing Division, his biggest official position is the Nanjing Garrison, which is the garrison of Nanjing!

This south and north are big problems!

The emperor let Zhou Jing, Bai Ang, Yang Shousui, Dai Shan, Cheng Minzheng, Ma Wensheng and other literary bigwigs not be selected, and let Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu go up to show their presence, is this move to improve the status of military generals?

The ministers felt uncomfortable when they thought of this.

Although the old man Zhang Mao, the British duke, was often in charge of sacrifices, helping the emperor run between Nanjing and Jingshi to help the emperor worship his ancestors, but that was different!

Today's occasion is mostly there, all the officials and nobles are present, and everyone knows the importance of the Daming Royal Stock Exchange, Xishan Coal Industry and Miyun Mining, after all, this is related to their money bags!

Call them up, does this mean that they will have to take care of their money bags in the future?

They are in charge of the money, so how will the civilian official sequence restrict the military commander sequence in the future?

……

The civil and military officials have different thoughts, and the faces of the civil ministers are a little ugly, but the generals and nobles are happy!

Not a stupid donkey!

However, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Zhang Mao, and Zhu Fu were all the same, and the five of them walked up to the stage calmly in turn in accordance with the order of Emperor Hongzhi's roll call.

Because, it's all negotiated!

At that time, there were four people to discuss this matter, including Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang, and because the bell ringing ceremony was proposed by Li Zhaotong in the name of Lao Tzu, Li Zhaotong, who raised the matter, had the honor to stand aside with Zhu Houzhao to observe.

Why did you discuss this?

Because there is no way, according to the regulations of "Lao Tzu", there are only six people who ring the bell, and Emperor Hongzhi himself occupies one, and there are five positions, but there are six Shangshu, which is not enough!

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang, as the elders of the pavilion, will definitely go up, so who will the other two choose?

It doesn't seem fair to choose anyone!

Could it be that to call Xu Pu and Wang Shu back, these two people are indeed qualified and prestigious enough, but it is too late in time!

Both of them have returned to their hometowns!

So what to do?

Is it difficult for the ministers to guess the fist decision?

It can't be either!

……

In the end, there was no discussion, but none of them came out, which made Li Zhaotong and Zhu Houzhao on the side stand with their feet numb!

Especially Zhu Houzhao, who followed Li Zhao to "play", was eager to slip away, and he was embarrassed.

Li Zhaotong couldn't stand still, and in the end he had no choice, so he opened his mouth and proposed that he could consider honoring the military generals.

Of course, this proposal aroused opposition from Liu Jian and Xie Qian, and even Li Dongyang frowned!

But at that time, Li Zhaotong said a few paragraphs:

Resources are limited! Sooner or later, the coal in Xishan and the iron in Miyun will be dug up, and even, the coal mines and iron mines in the entire Ming Dynasty will be dug up.

So what to do when that time comes?

Fail? But if you go out of business, you have no money to spend!

Therefore, it is impossible to go out of business, and if you don't go out of business, the only way is to expand externally!

It can be expanded externally, and it needs to be deterred by force! It is impossible for a foreign race to give away resources to others for nothing!

When you're weak, you can't buy it with money!

Because the weak in force cannot hold on to great wealth!

There must also be enough force to deter! Then the aliens will be afraid of you and willing to trade with you fairly.

We don't like war, but that doesn't mean we don't need force, and the consequence of slackening our armament is to be bullied by aliens and unable to keep our wealth!

Therefore, in order to keep their wealth, they must appropriately elevate the status of military commanders and nobles, so that they can charge into battle and deter the enemy!

Otherwise, everyone will have nothing to eat by then!

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang are not pedantic people, and they all know the consequences of slackening their armaments.

Therefore, the three of them thought about it for a while, looked at each other, made eye contact, and reluctantly agreed to Li Zhaotong's proposal.

And Emperor Hongzhi, he has long had the idea of improving the status of military generals!

Don't look at his soft ears, he also likes to listen to Wenchen, but don't forget, he is an emperor!

The core of the emperor's mind is balance and restraint!

It is not necessarily a good thing for Wenchen's family to be dominant, so he is usually working hard to improve the status of military generals!

Even in the sixth year of Hongzhi, he also opened a martial arts!

This is the first time that the Ming Dynasty has opened a martial arts move in the real sense!

Previously, only during the period of Emperor Hongzhi and his father Zhu Jianshen, in the fourteenth year of Chenghua, Emperor Zhu Jianshen of Chenghua was instigated by Wang Zhi, the governor of Xichang Factory, to open a township test and a meeting test of Wuke.

It can be seen that Emperor Hongzhi also realized the importance of military generals.

Therefore, when Li Zhaotong proposed it, the three elders reluctantly agreed, and of course he couldn't wait to agree immediately.

However, the process that should be taken still has to be followed, and we have to discuss which two generals to choose!

……

First of all, there is no need to say that the British public Zhang Mao is the head of the nobles, and he is also the head of the five military governors' mansions, the highest military agency in the Ming Dynasty, so he must be on board.

Then, the Qianguo Mansion, which has guarded Yunnan for generations, will definitely not consider it, and it is impossible for Mu Kun, the Duke of Qianguo, to come over so quickly.

In addition, Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, must have no share, he is replacing his late father-in-law Zhu Yi as the real Nanjing garrison in Nanjing! Li Zhao and his uncle Zhu Fu were just nominal, so Xu Li couldn't catch up.

Then you can only choose from Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, and Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo.

This is a very good choice, definitely choose Zhu Fu, it is very simple, Zhu Fu is from Nanjing, and Emperor Hongzhi can choose him without hesitation.

In addition, this time the stock was implemented, Zhu Fu also contributed a lot, and other nobles followed him to gain a lot, and he was grateful, so he was able to convince the public.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang discussed a little, and determined Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu, and then notified them, and they were naturally mentally prepared.

……

No matter what the reaction of the crowd is, no one dares to raise objections at this critical time of the sacrifice!

Because this will not only offend the emperor, but also the gods!

This group of idealists does not dare to be presumptuous.

"Auspicious - time - has - to ——!"

As soon as the five of them walked up to stand still, the time reached the end of the day, and Xiao Jing immediately shouted out at the top of his voice.

Then Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian and the others, and said in a deep voice:

"Come on! Five lovers! Let's knock out a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty! ”

……

"Boom-"

The six of them worked together, and a majestic and melodious bell rang from the Daming Royal Stock Exchange!

Daming stock market, the market is open!
