Ning Fengzhi suddenly didn't know what to say, and Lu Yuan continued at this time, "Okay, Dad, it's too early for me to be the heir to the crown prince, and these are all illusory things, and the ...... that really makes hundreds of millions of people in the empire willingly support our rule."

"Only to make this country better, these things will be discussed later, and the most important thing now is to promulgate these two decrees."

Ning Fengzhi suddenly had no choice but to say, "Since that's the case, then okay......"

Lu Yuan and Ning Fengzhi's discussion was put on hold for the time being, and on the same day, Liulicheng issued two holy decrees, causing an uproar.

The first holy decree was to move the capital and move Liuli City to Tianying City, which made the aristocratic ministers who heard this decree at the beginning, and even the people of Liuli City, quite unhappy.

After all, Liuli City was still Heaven Dou City before, and when it was the imperial capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, after 10,000 years, the scale and structure of the city, as well as the degree of luxury, were worthy of the highest in the Douluo Continent.

Even if Heaven Dou City was attacked by the soul beast tide twice before, and the city walls and city gates were rebuilt, a large abyss appeared where the original city gate was located.

But even so, today's Liuli City is still prosperous.

Even Star Luo City, the imperial capital of the Star Luo Empire, and Wuhun City, the headquarters of the Wuhun Palace, were not as prosperous as the previous Heaven Dou City.

After all, the Star Luo Empire is too rigorous, even their imperial capital entertainment and bazaars are not as debauched as Heaven Dou City, not to mention Wuhun City, as the headquarters of the Wuhun Palace, it is a solemn place, how can it be allowed to mess around.

Now Lu Yuan asked to move the capital to Heavenly Shadow City?

What kind of place is Sky Studio?

Even if it was Lu Yuan's hometown and fiefdom, it was a small city in a border province before that, a small city originally called Nording City, and even Soto City in the Barak Kingdom was far inferior.

What's more, compared to the former Heaven Dou City and the current Liuli City?

However, Lu Yuan had already made an order, and said the words "The emperor guards the country, and the king dies" to show his determination.

But even if this is impassioned, it is not good for the noble ministers who moved the capital and even the common people of Limin.

Isn't it good to be in the rear far from the front line, away from the risks of war, to enjoy glory and wealth, and to live and work in peace and contentment?

But Lu Yuan didn't mean to solicit their ideas, he was born in sorrow and died in peace, he understood better than anyone else, if you want to be comfortable, you just need to go to other cities.

I want to enjoy the prosperity of the imperial capital, but I don't want to bear the responsibility of defending the empire, how can there be such a double standard good thing in the world.

Moreover, Lu Yuan did not say that the capital would be moved to Celestial Shadow City immediately, it was expected that it would be five years later, and they would move the capital to the past when the craftsmen and the army had almost expanded Celestial Studio.

After the expansion, the Sky Shadow City will definitely not be as shabby as a small city.

If you don't want to go over it......

Either you stay in Liuli City away from the center of the empire, or you follow Lu Yuan to move the capital to Heavenly Shadow City and guard the country.

It's such a simple thing, and Lu Yuan doesn't force it.

This matter of moving the capital, he is imperative.

The second decree was to abolish the position of Prime Minister of the Empire, but at the same time, to establish the Imperial Cabinet.

And what is this Imperial Cabinet?

The answer is given in the holy decree, the Imperial Cabinet is composed of seven Imperial Ministers, divided into one assistant, one auxiliary and five groups of auxiliary according to their status, and they are in charge of all major affairs of the Empire.

At the same time, in the event of a major event, such as imperial taxation or foreign wars, the Cabinet and His Majesty today deduce the decision and vote on how to deal with it.

Among them, each member of the cabinet has one vote regardless of status, and His Majesty has only one vote today, but the decision is made by His Majesty the Emperor only after the seven members of the Cabinet are equal to the number of votes cast by His Majesty the Emperor.

This caused an immediate uproar, after all, the meaning of this decree almost meant that if more than four members of the cabinet reached a consensus, even the emperor would have to agree with their decision.

The power of the minister over the emperor is so great that it takes more than four people to reach a consensus to accomplish this achievement.

But it's also very possible!

And then, how the seven cabinet members belong has become a matter for many noble ministers in Liuli City.

But a member of the Cabinet, a position of great power and glory, must have been personally chosen by His Majesty today......

However, to everyone's surprise, the members of the cabinet can indeed be appointed only with the permission of His Majesty today, but there are also conditions.

The seven members of the cabinet must be divided into four civil ministers and three military generals, and can only enter the cabinet if they have the title of marquis or above of the empire and have the permission of the emperor.

Moreover, if there is no major incident in the Cabinet, the Cabinet members can be replaced once every ten years, and in the event of obvious irregularities by the Cabinet members, His Majesty can personally issue an order to strip them of their Cabinet status, and then select the previous candidates to join the Cabinet.

There are four civil ministers, three military generals, and a title of at least a marquis or above, which means that if you are not a powerful family in the empire before, you must be a powerful soul master who has made great contributions to the empire before you can enter the cabinet.

However, there are also many qualified noble ministers, and they are directly gearing up and preparing to compete for the cabinet position.

The holy decree directly appointed the current national teacher Ning Fengzhi as the first assistant, which did not surprise everyone.

Ning Fengzhi and the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect are the Yue family of His Majesty today, and they are also the key to His Majesty's seizure of the throne.

If it weren't for Ning Fengzhi, probably except for the lucky one who won the position of first assistant, the other ministers and nobles of the empire would have resented this.

Next, Wenchen lost the position of the first assistant, although the competition increased greatly with one less person, but everyone still looked forward to it.

However, they were disappointed, because the next three members of the Wenchen Cabinet were directly appointed by Lu Yuan as the three Contra Douluo of the former Heaven Dou Royal Academy and now the Heavenly Shadow Royal Academy, Dream God Machine, Bai Baoshan and Zhilin, as cabinet members.

The remaining positions, only the three cabinet members on the military general's side, have not yet been determined, and His Majesty has decided to meet with the ministers in the Great Council Hall the next day to select the last three cabinet members.

At this time, the five founding heroes who had supported Lu Yuan at the beginning were all full of excitement to prepare.

And in the families of four of them, they all made a decision at the same time.

"Prepare a big gift and visit the Flame General!"

Only Yan Xian sat in the mansion and shook his head, "Hey, it's a pity that my strength is insufficient, and Zhu Yin hasn't won His Majesty's heart......"

He knew very well that he was just a soul saint, even if he was one of the five founding generals who supported Lu Yuan at the beginning, he was not qualified to fight for the position of a cabinet member.

But in fact, if his daughter Zhu Yin can get the heart of His Majesty today, even if he is a soul saint, no one will have any objections to entering the cabinet.

After all, Lu Yuan has now ascended the throne as the emperor, and it can be said that it was unreasonable in the past, but now that Lu Yuan is three thousand beauties in the harem, who dares to say that Lu Yuan is not?

On the contrary, it is Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi, once they are dissatisfied, they will be attacked by the group.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Yan Xian had also told his daughter Yan Zhuyin about this before, asking her to be alone with Lu Yuan as much as possible.

It's just that he didn't be too straightforward, after all, he didn't expect that there would be a sweetheart from this cabinet member.

If Yan Zhuyin and Lu Yuan have already succeeded, even if he Yan Xian is only a soul saint, he can still enter the cabinet, right?

Just like Ning Fengzhi, even if he didn't solve the defects of the martial soul, he was still a soul saint.

Even so, who would dare to criticize him?

However, on that day, until the night, King Fengwu, King Xuanwu, King Senluo and King Wind, the four founding heroes, came to visit Yanxian one after another.

And they all mean the same, to help them at the next day's court meeting.

As the head of the clan, although Yan Xian has no possibility of entering the cabinet, he can fight for the interests in it, so he will naturally fight for it.

So there was inevitably some conversation and discussion, and finally the next day everyone saw Lu Yuan, who had not been seen for a long time, on the top of the Great Council.

In the Great Hall, facing Lu Yuan, everyone first saluted, and then started to discuss for a long time, Yan Xian stood up to support Andrew and Illuson.

The others are also most of the people who support Andrew, Lu Yuan thought about it, Illuson is also the second veteran to take refuge in him, although it is quite slick to say this, but Illuson is not just a mediocre man who slaps horses.

is the same as Qi Jiguang in his previous life, although he is very familiar with the wind and the rudder, but can you say that he is not a loyal minister and a good general?

So in terms of ability and emotion, Illuson deserves this position no matter what he says.

Therefore, Lu Yuan decided on two cabinet positions on the spot, Andrew the King of Fengwu and Ilusen, the King of Senluo.

The rest of the positions are fought over by Shi Shan and Ji Luobu.

However, in the end, it was Ishiyama, a veteran, who won the last cabinet member position with his deep connections and old and strong qualifications.

At this point, the seven cabinet members have all been confirmed, namely Ning Fengzhi, Mengshenji, Bai Baoshan, Zhilin, Andrew, Illuson and Shi Shan.

At the same time, Lu Yuan also determined the status of the seven members on the spot.

Among them, Ning Fengzhi is the head of the cabinet, and he is in charge of all powers, and when Lu Yuan is not there, he can decide all affairs with other cabinet members, and the final decision is his.

And the second assistant under Ning Fengzhi is to let Andrew serve as the leader, Wenchen Ning Fengzhi is the leader, and the military general Andrew is the leader, which is very reasonable.

The remaining Oneiroi Machine, Bai Baoshan, Zhilin, Illusen, and Shishan were relegated to the group, and the status of the five people was in no particular order.

At the same time, Lu Yuan changed the previous meditation hall into an institution for the cabinet to deal with political affairs, and renamed it "Mingyuan Pavilion".

This is also a copy of the Ming Dynasty cabinet office "Wenyuan Pavilion", but it is not good to only take the text, after all, the Douluo Continent is still the supremacy of force.

Therefore, Lu Yuan took a "Ming", which means virtuous, wise, and clear.

And the Yuan character in the back also happens to represent his own name, named after the emperor, which is also a great honor.

After determining the cabinet members and office location, Lu Yuan gave the token of the cabinet identity, which is also seven unique soul guides, which can not only enter and exit the palace at will with the token, but also store a large number of materials, official documents and documents.

Next, he stayed in Liuli City for another three days, took a look at the imperial affairs and documents, paid filial piety to Lu Qing and Mana, and ordered a series of things such as expanding the scale of the Celestial Shadow Army and conscription.

Finally, after he dealt with all this, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then planned to open the spatial portal, return to Seagod Island, and continue his training.
