Li Zhi's meaning was very clear. He hoped that Wang Zheng could personally hand the wooden stick to Li Xian in front of all the guests, especially Wu Yi, Wang Zhen, Wu You, Li Cheng, and Liu Zheng, to complete the transfer of power in Yuzhou.
Since he had already handed over the wooden stick, Wang Zheng didn't mind handing it to Li Xian again in person. He took the wooden stick and came to Li Xian, who was wearing a bright red suit.
Li Xian looked at the wooden stick in Wang Zheng's hand with a hint of excitement in his eyes. Although his father's method was not very glorious, since the gentleman was willing to hand it to him personally, Li Xian would not refuse.
Because the meaning represented by this wooden stick was so important to Li Xian. At least it could save him a lot of effort in consolidating power after he ascended the throne.
When a new emperor ascends the throne, he may not be able to exercise power smoothly from the beginning. After all, everyone has different ideas, and everyone has his or her own opinions on many people and many things.
The choices made are naturally different, and after a new emperor ascends the throne, the most important thing to do is to change the structure of the court, such as placing his trusted people in some key positions.
In this way, in many cases, there will be people who will cooperate with you to do things according to your wishes. At the same time, you can also get as much information as possible and finally make the right choice without being deceived by others.
Let me just talk about my expectations today.

Even the emperor might not be recognized by them. In the past, the Yuzhou people wanted to enter the court but were unable to do so. Now Li Zhi has clearly relaxed the restrictions, but during the imperial examination this year, the performance of those from the Yuzhou people who came to take the exam was not satisfactory.
Li Zhi sat on the right, Li Xian sat on the left, Wu Zetian and Wang Zheng sat on both sides. Wang Zheng looked at the dragon throne in front of him, smiled, and finally sat on it.
The handover of the supreme position has been completed.
After all, although it is just an ordinary wooden stick, the meaning it represents is very important.
This is also the reason why Li Zhi had to exchange Wang Zheng's wooden stick and give it to Li Xian, hoping that Li Xian would be completely recognized by the Yuzhou faction.
Of course, with their knowledge, they have the capital to be arrogant.
"I understand, sir, don't worry."
After all, if the officials were not as knowledgeable as the common people, it would be much more troublesome to govern. Especially when the Tang laws were strictly enforced, many officials would probably be troubled to death by others.
After Li Zhi finished speaking, he looked at Wang Zheng and said with a smile: "National Master, please also explain something to the ministers."
Since you have knowledge, you should become an official. The more knowledgeable you are, the higher-ranking you should be. Only in this way can the Tang Dynasty become more harmonious and develop better and faster.
These guys not only look down on ordinary officials, but also on ministers in the court, great scholars in the aristocratic families, and eminent monks and Taoists in Buddhist temples and Taoist temples.
This is the final explanation, so it will be relatively brief.
"Your Majesty, I obey your order."
If one wants to arrange his own confidants, various interests will inevitably be involved. This is the time to test the new emperor's means.
Seeing Wang Zhengping holding up the wooden stick, Li Xian lifted up his clothes and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Thank you very much, sir, for your gift!"
Li Zhi must have taken a lot of medicine just now, and he was very energetic at this time. He raised his voice and said: "My dear ministers, you all know that I will travel west with the national teacher. I don't know when I will return. Before leaving, I will pass the throne to the crown prince Li Xian.
Today I hand the wooden stick to you, and I hope that you can think of the people in the future. When making choices, try to choose some ordinary people as long as they do not harm you.
Many people from Yuzhou are very arrogant, especially after several border areas became more and more prosperous in recent years, the students from Yuzhou have become even more arrogant.
Now that Li Xian had Wang Zheng's wooden stick, at least it would be much easier for him to choose the Yuzhou faction. And with the support of the Yuzhou faction, and with the current strength of the Yuzhou faction, Li Xian would naturally be able to consolidate power as soon as possible.
Wang Zhen smiled and nodded, but from his slightly frowned brows it could be seen that Wang Zhen was still a little bothered.
At the same time, it also made Li Zhi understand that the court was not as attractive to the Yuzhou faction as he had imagined. It was not a good thing for the Tang Dynasty to have these talents wandering around.
Then Li Xian came down personally and invited Wu Zetian and Wang Zheng up to the table where four chairs were placed.
Li Xian took the stick with both hands, nodded heavily, and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will carry forward the people-oriented belief of our Yuzhou sect. I promise that the people's lives will get better and better."
Looking at the wooden stick in Li Xian's hand, Wang Zhen showed a bitter look on his face. Wu You shook his hand and whispered, "It's just a wooden stick. We are still young. We can focus on the golden stick in your hand."
Wang Zheng nodded, smiled and helped Li Xian up, saying, "Sir, I believe in you. In the future, you should be slower and more cautious. You should know that every decision you make affects millions of people."
Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, saying, "I am not very qualified to be a teacher, and I don't have much to teach you. I always think that everyone is about the same smart and should know the truth, but they just make different choices.
After all, our people have suffered for thousands of years, and have only enjoyed a good life for more than a decade."
The Confucian officials who were originally on high alert finally found out that the Yuzhou people simply disdained to be officials, and their worries were in vain.
Li Zhi told him to be cautious, and Wang Zheng also told him to be cautious. This time, Li Xian couldn't help but doubt himself. Did he give people the impression that he was reckless?
From now on, the Queen Mother and the new Emperor will jointly handle government affairs. I hope all of you will assist them wholeheartedly."
Many outstanding students in Yuzhou would rather work as officials, staff members, businessmen in remote border areas, or teach somewhere, rather than take part in the imperial examinations.
So, I won’t talk about any big principles. After all, our Tao has already developed to the extreme. If you want to learn various big principles, you can always find the answers by reading more classics of sages.
Wang Zheng nodded and said with a smile, "Then I have overstepped my bounds."
Li Xian smiled and said, "Sir, this is not an overstep."
Wang Zheng nodded, raised his voice and said, "I'll just say a few words.
I won’t talk about any big principles anymore, let me just talk about my expectations.
Now you should know that wealth is created, so in the future, don't think about oppressing the people, and think about ways to make money."
