On the sixth day of June, the much-anticipated meeting of the hundred official clans was held in the Xiangyang Auditorium as scheduled.

Since there was not enough space in Xiangyang City for the meeting, the cabinet finally set up the venue at Guangdeok Temple in the northwest of the city.

Chang Qing, the former governor of Yunnan, died in this temple.

Considering that the internal enthronement ceremony should be seamlessly connected after the assembly of the hundred official clans, the main civil and military at all levels in Hubei attended the conference.

Before the conference, Jia Liu officially approved the list of candidates for the six Shangshu.

Prime Minister Bo Qing's head and secretary of the Ministry of Rites;

Li Shijie, the first-ranked prime minister and vice minister, also holds the post of secretary of the ministry;

The second-ranked Prime Minister and Deputy Minister Asiha also holds the post of Secretary of the Ministry of War;

Ji Yun, the third-ranked Prime Minister and Vice Minister, is also the secretary of the Criminal Department (due to a business trip, he is temporarily unappointed).

The post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry was held by Fan Wei, the former political envoy of Zhili, because Fan Wei was responsible for many engineering projects during his tenure in Zhili, which was relatively professional.

The post of the head of the household department is temporarily vacant, and only the left squire is in charge.

The position of Zuo Shilang was filled by Li An'an, the head of the financial department of Xingyuan.

It's also a professional counterpart.

In addition, after being recommended by Prime Minister Bo Qing's guarantee, Han Zhangjing Dong Huan of the Military Aircraft Department, who was captured and underwent labor reform, took up the post of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites after writing a letter of repentance and a letter of guarantee, and was actually in charge of the work of the Ministry of Rites.

Jia Liu personally met with Dong He, and the evaluation was that although this person was greedy for life and afraid of death, his character was still upright and his ability to do things was more than enough, so he approved Dong He's appointment.

On the recommendation of Li Shijie, vice minister of the prime minister, Cao Xibao, the former national superintendent who was in the township due to his father's funeral, served as the right attendant of the ministry to assist Li Shijie in managing the work of the ministry.

The main reason why Chairman Li recommended Cao Xibao to serve as a minister is that Cao Xibao is very honest and honest as an official, and when he served in Shandong Grain Road in his early years, he handled the murder of Zhang Jiqu, the general manager of Qian, and risked offending many important ministers of the DPRK and the central government to write impartially and straightforwardly, so that this eucalyptus was wronged.

He is an upright and selfless official who is not afraid of the powerful.

Of course, Jia Liu liked such officials, and he also hoped to rectify the official atmosphere of the Restoration Imperial Court, so he immediately agreed to Cao Xibao's appointment.

The right attendant of the Ministry of War is Prime Minister Bo Qing's nephew Dax, that is, Jia Liu's cousin-in-law.

This person was introduced to the association by his uncle Bo Qing, and served as a leader and a team leader, and also negotiated with Jinchuan on behalf of his uncle, and had a certain way of doing military affairs.

If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Jia Liu can't save Lao Bo's face.

Guo Xiu, the former general of the Jiangxi Green Battalion, served as the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, and was fully responsible for the research and development of firearms forging in the Wei Imperial Court.

Originally, Jia Liu was going to promote his second brother-in-law Gao Delu in this position, but considering that Gao Delu had no fame, it was a bit unruly to suddenly be promoted to a second-rank high-ranking official, so Guo Xiu took the post first.

Only the title of Zhao Jia Gao Delu was awarded, and he was fully responsible for Tianjin's military industry matters.

The rest of the ministries left and right squires including the Duchayuan, Dali Temple, Zongrenfu, Taifu Temple, Guozijian and other institutions did not have a clear candidate, first, these institutions are all in Beijing, and it is impossible to set up a new one in Xiangyang;

Second, the opinion of the cabinet is still dominated by the current officials of the Qianlong Dynasty, that is, as long as the officials of the Beijing Division can serve the new court, they will be retained for the time being.

After the capital division is stabilized, it will be abolished and the council will be added.

In addition, the six ministries can now play a normal role in the three yamen of the household department, the military department, and the official department, and the rest of the three departments of rituals, criminal punishment, and work have only completed the listing, and there is no actual office space or actual office needs.

Matters such as rituals, criminal laws, and project construction in all provinces, prefectures, and counties are temporarily under the unified responsibility of the provincial governors' yamen, and will be formally reported when the imperial court officially moves into Beijing.

Jia Liu has no opinion on this, the Restoration Imperial Court is still hanging the signboard of the Qing Dynasty, although it occupies the orthodox righteousness at the moment, but after all, the main administrative resources of the Qing Dynasty are in Beijing, and it is impossible for him to directly set up a separate court without Jingshizhen.

What he was most worried about was that Qianlong launched a mad fire to burn Jingshi, and every jade stone was burned, so if the officials of the Qianlong Group could collectively abandon the darkness and turn to the light, he would welcome it with both hands.

Because in that case, Qianlong wanted to set fire to it and no one set it for him, and he didn't know the time and refused to go into the wilderness, so someone took the initiative to tie him up.

Before the meeting, Jia Liu had breakfast with the senior generals of the army who came to Xiangyang.

There are Zu Yingyuan, the commander of the First Army, and Bao Guozhong, the chief of staff of the army; Admiral Bao Ning of the Second Army, Chief of Staff of the Army Ruilin; Admiral Zhang Dabiao of the Third Army, Chief of Staff Yin Erden; There are 27 generals above the general corps level, including the commander of the Fourth Army and the chief of staff Chang Bingzhong.

Breakfast is very simple, just gruel and meat buns, three fritters for another person, and a plate of pickles.

Porridge and pickles are filling, and you can refill the bowl as much as you want, but the meat buns and fritters are just that.

If necessary, you can pay for it.

The same is true for Jia Liu.

This system was proposed by him himself, that is, in the future, the small meeting of the imperial court assembly should be expensed, even if it is tea and snacks, the participating officials need to pay for it themselves.

If you don't have to pay for it, you can buy it, and boiled water is provided for free.

In order to implement the new air and new system, after Jia Liu finished eating one of his meat buns, he decisively took out three copper plates and asked for additional meals.

Seeing this, the generals looked at each other.

After the meal, surrounded by a group of army generals, Jia Liu came to the venue located in Guangde Temple.

The first thing that catches your eye is a variety of flowers, which is refreshing.

After His Majesty the Emperor arrived, delegations from various provinces and representatives of the clan entered.

"The Hubei delegation has arrived!"

"The Shandong delegation has arrived!"

"The Naoli delegation has arrived!"

"The Henan delegation has arrived!"

"The Sichuan delegation has arrived!"

“......”

With the shouts of the salute officer, the provincial delegations that came to Xiangyang to attend the conference entered the venue one after another, and found their seats under the leadership of the ceremonial officer.

The process is similar to the Council of Princes and Ministers held in Kyori last year.

Jia Liu, who was talking cordially with the two presidents backstage, glanced at the venue from time to time, and there was really an indescribable pride in his heart.

Probably - it's finally my turn!

The matter of Jia Liu's claim to be emperor has been notified to the provincial delegations, and the provincial delegations have heard the rumors earlier, and they are all mentally prepared for the six emperors of the devil, so it has not caused much repercussions after the official announcement.

There is no objection either.

Two delegations from Zhejiang did not attend, one returned to Hangzhou the day before yesterday and the other left yesterday.

The reason for this was that neither delegation could reach an agreement with the Restoration government.

The carefully selected representatives of the clan quickly entered, with a total of 100 people, 40 with red belts and 60 with yellow belts.

The highest knighthood is the general of Zhenguo.

Judging from the nervousness and restraint of these people when they walked into the venue, it was obvious that they had gone through many rehearsals before, and they also understood what they should do later.

"The Wuchang delegation has arrived!"

Accompanied by the voice of the salute singer, all the delegations that entered the venue turned around in surprise and looked at the Wuchang delegation that was entering the venue led by Chen Huizu, the former governor of Huguang.

There was an uproar and discussions.

I don't know why the thief sent someone over.

Ding Qing, director of the Internal Affairs Committee, who was in charge of the order of the venue, stepped forward at the right time to inform the provincial delegations, saying that the Wuchang side had come to attend the meeting as an observer at the invitation of the Emperor of the Restoration.

】

Didn't say anything else.

However, the provincial delegations soon received an important signal from this official statement that the imperial court was negotiating with the bandits.

Bi Yuan, the leader of the Shaanxi-Gansu delegation, frowned first, if the devil six took care of the Xinghan thief army, it would not be a good thing for the Shaanxi and Gansu sides.

However, the delegations of the other Jia provinces showed great encouragement, because this did not show that His Majesty the Emperor wanted the people.

After Chen Huizu smiled and took Deputy Head Lu Yuanguang and others to sit in the designated position, the meeting officially began.

Ding Qing stood up and sang: "Your Majesty the Emperor, please!" ”

"Whoa!"

At the signal of the ceremonial officer, hundreds of people in the venue stood up collectively and looked at the passage arranged with flowers on the left side of the rostrum.

Jia Liu, dressed in an imperial robe, appeared at the entrance of the passage with a smile on his face, appearing in the sight of his subjects.

When he waved his right hand, there was thunderous applause.

Almost at the same time, the sound of crackling firecrackers rang out outside the venue.

"Whoosh" and "thump" kept ringing.

On June 6 of the 42nd year of the puppet Qianlong, the Imperial Court of the Restoration was officially opened in Xiangyang.

This represents the dawn of a new era.

One is different, one carries on the past and forges ahead into the future, one inherits the past and opens up the future, and the era of capital power that creates a unique oriental system has come.

This is an era of restoration, and it is also an era of the common people.
