Jiang Huanchu is thirty years younger than Ji Chang. He is only in his sixties this year and is in the prime of his life.
"Dong Bo Hou."
Li Qing shouted with a smile.
Jiang Huanchu was slightly stunned, then he came to his senses immediately. He quickly stepped out of the group and shouted loudly, "I am here."
Li Qing glanced at the crowd and said with a smile, "Since so many officials, ministers, and immortal generals are clueless at the moment, how about I choose the person to handle the first abdication of the throne of the Shang Dynasty?"
Everyone looked at each other, but it was all meaningless. They were indeed confused.
"Dong Bo Hou Jiang Huanchu governs two hundred princes and hundreds of millions of people in Dong Lu. For the past thirty years, the weather has been favorable and the people are at peace. In Dong Lu, there are memorial tablets for tens of thousands of families. He is a man of both virtue and talent, possessing benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness. With this ability, I believe that even if he were to take charge of the entire country, he would be able to govern it as smoothly as if it were his own arm."
Li Qing's voice was calm, echoing in the hall.
Jiang Huanchu was originally wondering why Li Qing called him, and was even considering whether he wanted to take back his rights as a prince.
But at this moment, when Jiang Huanchu suddenly heard Li Qing's words, he was completely stunned!
He looked at Li Qing, and after a moment he came to his senses. He suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! What virtue and ability do I have?
How can an old minister ask His Majesty to abdicate?!
How can an old minister govern the land of China?
This old minister is not worthy! This old minister is not worthy! "
"stand up."
Li Qing raised his hand slightly, and a force lifted Jiang Huanchu up.
"Oh, right, I have another decree. From now on, officials will not have to kneel when they see the Emperor, and common people will not have to kneel when they see officials. A person's knees are where their bones lie. Aside from their parents and closest relatives, nothing is worth kneeling for."
Li Qing said, looking at Jiang Huanchu and smiling, "Dong Bo Hou, you can do it. If you really can't, then you can govern for eight years. By then, countless officials in the Shang Dynasty will surely understand and elect a suitable emperor. What do you think?"
“This…this…”
Jiang Huanchu was a little confused and didn't know what to say.
"This matter is settled! From now on, I and the three Holy Emperors will no longer be concerned with the affairs of the human world!"
Li Qing slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "But if any of the younger generations of Human Emperors become greedy and try to restore their family empire, don't blame me and the three Holy Emperors for sending them to the underworld, where they will never be reborn! This is an iron rule, passed down from generation to generation! Remember it!"
"His Majesty……"
Jiang Huanchu finally came to his senses and quickly opened his mouth, intending to refuse.
But Li Qing smiled and said, "Officials from the Ministry of Rites! Prepare for the abdication ceremony! In fifteen days, announce to the world that the Emperor has abdicated! Dismiss the court!"
After saying that, Li Qing stood up with a smile and walked out.
