Chapter Eighty-Four: Master and Apprentice Talk
For a long time, just when Li Shanchang and the others were worried, Li Yizhi nodded lightly and said, "You are right, now that the world is almost calm, I still have the title of sect leader, which is indeed not a thing." In this way, Li Shanchang, the enthronement ceremony will be dominated by you, and others will assist in doing it. ”
Li Shanchang and the others were overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Sect Master, please rest assured, in seven days at most, we will be able to do everything well." ”
"Seven days, so fast, wouldn't it be too hasty?"
Li Yizhi felt that he had underestimated the eagerness of these Wenchen.
Li Shanchang shook his head again and again, and said, "Sect Master, seven days is not fast, the palace can use the City Lord's Mansion first, and then expand it later." All kinds of other heavenly sacrifice items don't waste much time. ”
Li Yizhi nodded and said, "That's okay." ”
After Li Shanchang and the others went out, they immediately made people make a big fuss that the sect master would ascend the throne and become emperor seven days later.
For a time, the entire city of Nanjing was boiling, and it spread all over the world at a very fast speed, and everywhere it passed, there was a sound of jubilation.
After decades of enslavement, the Han people finally turned over and regained their clothes.
Yang Xiao and the others were naturally very happy, because once Li Yizhi was proclaimed emperor, they, as the earliest supporters, would definitely be rewarded.
Seven days passed quickly.
On the day he ascended the throne and became emperor, Li Yizhi led his ministers to worship the sky.
He stood on the high platform, looking at the tens of thousands of people kneeling below, and the waves of shouts in his ears, 'Long live my emperor, long live'.
At this moment, Li Yizhi really realized that he had become the master of this country and had the power of life and death in the whole world.
However, he did not give birth to the heart of a king like ordinary people, but his mind was calm, and the whole person fell into emptiness.
In this state, Li Yizhi felt that the blood qi immersed in flesh and blood seemed to be active in an instant, and he could easily mobilize it as soon as his mind moved, without the need to pull and carry it through moves.
At this moment, Li Yizhi knew that with the opportunity of becoming emperor, his martial arts and national roads fit perfectly, pushing the realm to the brink of breakthrough.
Withdrawing from the state of emptiness, Li Yizhi shouted: "Flat! ”
"Emperor Xie!"
After the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, it is the great dynasty.
Li Yizhi needed to reward everyone and determine the administrative system of the imperial court.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Yizhi listened to the chamberlain beside him read out the holy decrees, which he had already drawn up, first of all, to establish the name of the country, as 'Ming'.
Next, there is a reward for Yang Xiao and others, and there are hundreds of people.
Yang Xiao was named the King of Freedom, and Yin Tianzheng was named the King of Celestial.
According to the original arrangement, Li Yu was also going to be crowned king, but just as the chamberlain was about to read it, he was interrupted by Li Yizhi and said, "Li Yu will skip the reward, and I will arrange it later." ”
Li Yu looked depressed, but there was no resentment, he and the master were like father and son, and I believed that the master would not treat him badly.
Yang Xiao and the others were all puzzled, they knew very well the weight of Li Yu in Li Yi's heart, after all, many political affairs were handled by Li Yu.
The chamberlain paused and continued to read out the holy decree, Wei Yixiao, Wusanren, Yin Yewang and others were made marquis, and as for the other high-ranking members of the Ming Sect, they ranged from earls to barons.
In short, everyone was happy, and after Li Yizhi ascended the throne, he did not treat them badly.
Although these titles did not have fiefdoms, they were rich in money and enjoyed many privileges, and they were satisfied.
After the reading of these rewards, the next step was to appoint the ministers of the imperial court.
After careful consideration, Li Yizhi decided to adopt the system of the cabinet and the six ministries in parallel.
The cabinet has seven scholars to assist the emperor in handling political affairs, and after the emperor approves the handling of the matter, the emperor will order six more ministries to implement it.
Among them, the cabinet scholars have no actual power, but are only the emperor's think tank, which can effectively prevent the cabinet from sitting large, thus threatening the imperial power.
Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and others became the first cabinet scholars.
By the time the chamberlain had read out all the appointments, it was almost evening, and although everyone was hungry, they didn't feel it at all, and they all forgot about it.
Everyone raised their heads in unison and looked at Li Yizhi sitting on the dragon chair, curious about Li Yu's appointment and dismissal.
Li Yizhi said solemnly: "Li Yu listens to the seal. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is here!" Li Yu hurriedly walked out and bowed.
Li Yizhi said: "From now on, I will accept you as a righteous son, and make you the crown prince and supervise the country." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Li Yu was dumbfounded, but everyone in the entire court was dumbfounded.
What is this emperor going to do, not only to make his apprentice the crown prince, but also to order the prince to supervise the country, is this the rhythm of abdication to make way for the virtuous?
Yang Xiao and others, as well as many courtiers, were discouraged.
Li Yu also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, by all means, please take back your life." ”
Li Yizhi said firmly: "Okay, this matter is so decided, I have said it, how can I go back on my word, how to rule the world in the future." By the way, I've already arranged a feast, so let's go to the side hall. ”
Seeing Li Yizhi's firm attitude, everyone had no choice but to accept it first, and as for the prince's matter, I will talk about it later.
When the emperor has concubines and heirs, it is naturally impossible to give up the throne to outsiders.
Li Yu knelt on the ground, his mind was buzzing all the time, he thought that he would be crowned king, and he would enjoy endless glory and wealth from now on.
However, he didn't expect that the master would crown him the crown prince!
This was something he didn't dare to think about at all, and even if the master was firm now, Li Yu still didn't have any joy in his heart, but was cold and frightened, because he thought further.
In the future, if the master marries a wife and has children, will he still be able to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince?
At that time, it will not be simply abolished, and there may be a fear of life!
Throughout the banquet, Li Yu was in a daze, and the other ministers did not come forward to set up a close relationship, even those from the original Qinglong Gang, it seemed that they were deliberately alienated.
The banquet lasted until midnight, and the ministers left one after another, and Li Yu was just about to leave, but was stopped by an attendant, saying that Li Yizhi was looking for him.
In the imperial study, Li Yizhi looked at Li Yu's chaotic appearance and sighed: "Xiao Yu, don't you understand why I let you be the prince and supervise the country." ”
Bang!
Li Yu knelt down and prayed, "Master, please take back your fate." ”
"Get up, don't worry, you think that those things will not happen, you are the next emperor." Li Yizhi said.
Li Yu refused to get up, raised his head and said, "Master, please forgive the apprentice for being bold." You just don't have any heirs now, with the master's cultivation, I'm afraid it won't be a problem to live for another hundred years, and when the time comes, it will definitely be full of children and grandchildren, and the disciples dare to hope for the position of the prince. ”
Li Yi stepped forward, pulled Li Yu up, and said: "Although you and I are called master and apprentice, we are like father and son, when we talk like this." To tell you the truth, when I was worshipping the heavens, I had a feeling that I might not be in this world for long, so I made a temporary decision to make you the crown prince. ”
Li Yu's eyes were frightened, and he asked anxiously: "Master, how can this be, your cultivation is so high, even if it is compared to Zhang Sanfeng, I am afraid it is not much inferior, who in this world can threaten you." ”
Li Yizhi shook his head and said, "It's not external reasons, but myself." My current cultivation has reached the verge of breaking through, but I am not completely sure whether I can successfully break through, and I ...... if I fail. So, I had to plan ahead. But fortunately, your prestige is not bad in the hearts of our original generals, and you can get their support, so you don't have to worry too much about the stability of the throne. ”
Li Yu was still anxious and said, "Master, since there is danger in breaking through, then why do you bother to break through. What's wrong with sitting on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains! And in the future, the apprentice can also honor you well. ”
"My personal pursuit is different, I pursue martial arts, and the throne is not attractive to me. Therefore, even if I know that there is danger, I will not back down, otherwise I will lose the heart of martial arts. ”
Li Yizhi waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't be a mother-in-law anymore." Although I have been deliberately cultivating you all these years, you can be regarded as a talent, and it should not be a problem to be a qualified emperor. But there are some things that I say you listen. ”
"Yes, Master."
Li Yu saw that Li Yi's mind had been decided, and he didn't know whether to be sad or happy.
Li Yizhi said: "Those people in the Ming Sect, although I have given high-ranking officials Houlu, but after all, they are people in the martial arts and do not understand the government, but they think that the world is fought by them, and I am afraid that they will like to interfere in the government in the future." In the future, when you become the emperor, you must not indulge them, and the means can be ruthless. ”
Li Yu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that this was what the master said.
