Chapter 1353

The pseudo-emperor in Luoyang is actually born of a concubine, nothing more than a puppet manipulated by the evil empress. Therefore, this Marquis, in the capital of Gao Zu, supports the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

The invitation today is to discuss the day of the new emperor's ascension, and also the day for the division of power among the Three Excellencies and Nine Ministers of the court, so today everyone should speak freely."

Duan Yu's words are based on great righteousness and are watertight. In fact, they were discussed by Li Ru, Jia Xu, and others for many days.

In addition, there is another article about clearing the palace and rectifying the discipline, which will be announced to the world after the new emperor ascends the throne and attacks Luoyang.

As soon as Duan Yu's voice fell, Yang Biao, who was in the first row among the crowd, held up his tablet and stepped out of the queue.

Yang Biao first saluted Liu Bian on the imperial throne, and then bowed to Duan Yu and said: "Marquis of Ji, I believe that the day of the emperor's ascension should be as soon as possible. In this way, establishing the order of the new dynasty can rectify the moral order and announce it to the world. This year's autumn harvest is abundant, and Liangzhou has plenty of money and grain. We should raise a righteous army to crusade against the unrighteous."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

After Yang Biao finished speaking, everyone in the hall expressed their agreement.

Duan Yu nodded slightly after hearing this and said: "Since this is the case, then I think seven days from now will be an auspicious day."

As he said this, Duan Yu turned his head to look at Liu Bian on the imperial throne, and then held up his tablet.

Liu Bian, sitting on the imperial throne, nodded slightly, and the beaded curtain on the imperial crown he was wearing swayed slightly.

"What Duan Qing intends is also what I intend."

Liu Bian's statement represented that the day of ascension had been finalized.

And next was the conferment of titles.

For the conferment of official positions, the Three Excellencies and Nine Ministers had already been finalized a few days ago.

Duan Yu turned his head to look at the people below the hall and said: "The Son of Heaven, thinking of your merits in assisting the new dynasty, specially confers the Three Excellencies and Nine Ministers to establish the righteousness of the new dynasty."

"Yang Biao as Minister of Works, Wei Duan as Grand Marshal, Song Ze as Minister of Works."

"Ma Ru as Palace Treasurer, Fa Yan as Minister of Agriculture, Yang Qi as Minister of Ceremonies, Diwu Xun as Grand Herald, Jia Xu as Commandant of Justice, Cheng Yu as Guard General, Yang Fu as Palace Treasurer, Gai Xun as Minister of the Imperial Household, Li Ru as Prefect of the Masters of Writing, Xun You as Palace Attendant Censor..."

Duan Yu read out the list that had already been finalized.

Most of the people's conferments had been settled, but everyone knew in their hearts that there was still one most important person's position that had not been discussed.

This person was none other than Duan Yu.

Empress Dowager He Lingsi, sitting behind the beaded curtain behind Liu Bian, coughed gently.

Then she said: "Duan Qing assisted the building when it was about to collapse. The one who should be most rewarded is Duan Qing."

Everyone below the hall nodded along with He Lingsi's voice.

"I dare not." Duan Yu hurriedly declined: "I, Duan Yu, have received the grace of the state. Now I should be a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, how dare I be greedy for more."

"Marquis of Ji, don't be humble. The merits of the Marquis of Ji are seen by all the ministers in the hall and by me. If it weren't for the Marquis of Ji saving the late emperor's bloodline in a time of crisis and protecting me to reach Chang'an, the world might have been in chaos today. The merits of the Marquis of Ji surpass Xiao He and compare to Han Xin, and he should naturally be conferred a title."

"Therefore, I and the Son of Heaven have discussed and request the title of King for the Marquis of Ji!"

PS: Yesterday, the unit had a temporary issue... all departments were dispatched to strictly inspect fire safety, and I spent the whole day running around with the leaders, not getting home until after eleven o'clock at night. I originally intended to explode with updates, but it was temporarily delayed. I hereby bow and apologize to all the big shots.

But fortunately, there was no break in updates. Today, there is still a minimum of three updates, which is considered compensation for yesterday. ===== CHAPTER 1355 =====
