Chapter 286: Wanting to Open a Harem on the First Day of Founding the Country?

"Woo, woo!"

"Dong, dong, dong!"

A few days later, outside the Nanzhao Huanqiu Altar outside the Nanxun Gate of Tokyo, it was a sea of people, with flags fluttering.

The desolate and majestic sound of horns and the inspiring sound of drums intertwined.

Zhang Jie, wearing the twelve-chapter crown and robes and the flat-sky crown, slowly ascended the altar from the imperial road.

Civil and military officials were lined up on the left and right, watching their Great King walk to the top of the altar step by step.

On the east and west sides of the altar, the ritual officials led the crowd to set up sixteen kinds of musical instruments, including bianqing, bianzhong, and bozhong,

and more than sixty musical instruments played the music of the sacrificial ceremony in order, arranged neatly, solemn and spectacular.

In this solemn sacrificial music, Zhang Jie tidied up his magnificent clothes again,

took out a scroll of silver silk and jade belt gold slips from his sleeve,

and the connected edict, reached out and opened it directly, solemnly declaring:

"Subject Zhang Renjie, kowtows to heaven, sun, moon, mountains, and rivers.

The subject follows the way of heaven above, follows the subjects and people below, drives away the lawless pseudo-Song, and sets up a sacrifice at the Huanqiu Altar,

announcing to the heaven and earth, establishing the country Great Qian, and building the era Longwu!"

His mouth contained pure internal energy, and the sound of his words mixed with the sound of the sacrificial music, and faintly suppressed it.

In the melodious words, the sky over Bianliang gradually began to have golden light reflecting, and under the cover of layers of brilliance,

it seemed that there were countless magnificent and beautiful heavenly palace scenes, appearing and disappearing in it.

"Long live, long live, long live the Emperor!"

Civil and military officials, soldiers, and the people who came to watch the ceremony all knelt down and shouted, the sound shaking the clouds.

"I hereby appoint Wang Lun as the Left Prime Minister, Chen Wenyun as the Right Prime Minister, Wu Yong as the Censor of the Censorate...

Lin Chong as the Grand Commander of the Front Army of the Five Armies Governor's Office, Lu Zhishen as the Grand Commander of the Rear Army of the Five Armies Governor's Office..."

After the sacrifice to heaven and the enthronement, it was naturally the great enfeoffment of meritorious officials.

And because Zhang Jie did not want to learn from the Great Song and have a Privy Council to govern the military with civil officials,

for the sake of saving trouble, he directly used the Great Ming's Central Secretariat and the Five Armies Governor's Office.

Of course, the power of the Prime Minister of the Central Secretariat was really too great,

and all documents, edicts, and memorials had to pass through his hands.

Although Zhang Jie was not afraid of being sidelined, in order to prevent accidents,

he still split the position of Prime Minister into left and right, allowing them to check and balance each other.

The Grand Commander of the Five Armies Governor's Office, who was in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, was concurrently held by himself,

to ensure comprehensive control of the army.

"The subject thanks Your Majesty for the great grace!"

The rewarded meritorious officials received the decree and thanked him one by one.

Wang Lun, Chen Wenyun, and Wu Yong were full of excitement.

They were a failed scholar who had tried many times and failed, and became a bandit,

a scholar who only became a Juren in middle age and had no hope for an official career,

a down-and-out scholar who planned for the action called "smartly taking the birthday gift,"

which was actually robbery,

how did they become the Left and Right Prime Ministers in charge of imperial administration and the Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate with the power to supervise and impeach officials?

For a moment, their heads were dizzy, and they felt it was too unrealistic.

Lin Chong was also very excited. He was a low-level military official who was called the instructor of 800,000 Imperial Guards,

but actually couldn't even get a seat at Gao Qiu's birthday banquet,

and he actually became the Grand Commander of the Great Qian Five Armies Governor's Office,

it was no longer smoke from the ancestral grave, but the ancestral grave was on fire!

After enfeoffing a series of meritorious officials, Zhang Jie leaned on the dragon chair with some boredom.

These things had actually been discussed before, and it was mainly going through the motions.

"If there is something to report, report it; if there is nothing, retreat from the court."

The clever Li Dequan could not have more insight, and immediately shouted with his duck-like voice.

The civil and military officials below did not speak, and all looked at their noses and hearts.

The process of this enfeoffment ceremony had already been determined, and it was indeed time to end the scene.

Besides, didn't they see the bored expression on the Emperor's face?

If the Emperor was unhappy for a while, the Emperor could make them unhappy at any time.

Suddenly, a clear voice broke the silence:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the subject has a memorial to report!"

'Who is so bold?'

The ministers looked at the source of the sound with the corners of their eyes,

wanting to see which official had eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, and dared to make trouble at the Great Court Meeting.

Then, they retracted their gazes in an instant, as if they had been electrocuted:

'Can't afford to provoke, this master can't afford to provoke.'

Although this official's rank was not high, he was only a sixth-rank minor official,

and couldn't even get a seat at the court meeting where there were many first and second-rank officials,

but his identity was truly not simple:

This was a person who could talk to the Emperor as a peer and call each other brothers.

Wasn't this Li Gang, who had returned the imperial sword after completing the task of patrolling Bianliang and restored his original position in the Han Lin Academy?

Looking at Li Gang below, Zhang Jie also had a headache, but he couldn't stop him from speaking,

so he asked: "Minister Li, what memorial do you have to report?"

At the same time, his brain cells were also running at high speed,

but he couldn't find what Li Gang wanted to report.

'Could it be that someone did something?'

Zhang Jie's heart tightened.

There were millions of people in Bianliang city, covering dozens of square kilometers,

even if he had the Observation Haki and spiritual power, it was difficult to monitor every move of others.

If someone really did something privately that Li Gang couldn't tolerate, it was entirely possible.

While Zhang Jie was thinking, Li Gang walked out from the end of the civil official queue,

came to the center of the hall, and knelt down solemnly:

"Your Majesty has no heirs to this day, so you should select beautiful women from the world to fill the harem,

to continue the heirs, and to settle the hearts of the subjects of the world!"

"Minister Li Boji's words are reasonable."

"It should have been like this long ago."

The civil and military officials could not calm down when facing this topic, and whispered to each other.

To say that for this Emperor Zhang Jie, they were very satisfied:

In terms of civil, he could write a third place in the imperial examination, and write "Mountain Slope Sheep? Tongguan Nostalgia" which worries about the country and the people;

In terms of military, he could defeat the Grand Commander Lin Chong with one shot, overthrow the Great Song with the power of one Liang Shan,

and also invent various divine weapons, rewriting the mode and future of war.

In terms of private morality, he neither loves money nor covets enjoyment,

as a dignified Son of Heaven, there are only two or three people in the harem.

Not to mention the other things like treating scholars with courtesy, loving soldiers like sons, and being diligent in government and loving the people.

The only drawback is that there are still no heirs to this day.

Although Zhang Jie is still under twenty years old today, saying that he is in his prime is an understatement,

and if there are no accidents, ruling the world for decades is easy.

But, the reason why an accident is an accident is because you don't know which day it will come.

Their future, future, and even the future of their descendants,

are all entrusted to the Great Qian, if Zhang Jie really had such an accident one day,

and the Great Qian had no successor, then where should they go?

At that time, I fear that this huge Great Qian would collapse overnight.

"Please Your Majesty select beautiful women to fill the harem!"

The civil and military officials knelt down one after another and pleaded in unison. ===== CHAPTER 287 =====

"We humbly request Your Majesty to select beautiful maidens to fill the inner palace!"

The civil and military officials bowed one after another, pleading in unison.
