"My lords, you may dispense with the formalities."
Li Jing waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After all the civil and military officials expressed their gratitude, they stood up.
"No one is to divulge a single word about what happened today!"
"Otherwise, they will be punished for treason!"
"Of course, you can also think that you leaked it, I don't know either."
Li Jing looked calmly at the assembled civil and military officials and said indifferently, "Apart from that, I have not yet formally ascended the throne and become emperor. I will change my title after I formally ascend the throne."
Please continue to call me Your Highness.
"Your Majesty, we obey!"
The officials, both civil and military, became solemn and respectfully shouted.
The four ministers—the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of War—felt a great weight lifted from their hearts and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As it stands, Li Jing has no intention of pursuing the matter further.
They were determined to keep silent about what happened today, not even to their own grandson.
At most, I would advise them to be careful in their actions and never make an enemy of Li Jing.
This is someone they can't afford to offend!
There were many others who shared similar thoughts with the four Ministers of Personnel, after all, many of the civil and military officials were their protégés or former subordinates, or supporters of other princes.
Now they are thinking of completely severing ties with these princes and cutting all relations.
"Prime Minister Yu Shixiong, you are in charge of leading all civil and military officials to prepare for the coronation in one month."
"I will officially ascend the throne and become emperor in one month!"
Li Jing looked at Yu Shixiong and said in a deep and powerful voice.
"Your humble servant obeys the decree."
Yu Shixiong said respectfully.
"General Dongfang Ming of the Imperial Guard, and General Zhang Zhentian of the Capital Garrison."
Li Jing said in a deep voice.
"Your subordinate is here!"
Dongfang Ming and Zhang Zhentian shouted loudly.
"You shall lead the Imperial Guards and the Capital Garrison back to your respective camps and take up your posts there."
"Lift the blockade of the palace and Yanjing city."
Li Jing looked at Dongfang Ming and Zhang Zhentian and said.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Dongfang Ming and Zhang Zhentian spoke with serious expressions.
"Gu Zhiyun, Prefect of Jingzhao".
Li Jing spoke again.
"Your humble servant is here."
Gu Zhiyun, the Prefect of the Capital, stepped forward and spoke with a respectful expression.
"From today onwards, Zhang Zhentian will draw 50,000 elite troops from the Beijing Garrison to assist Gu Zhiyun, the Prefect of the Capital, in maintaining order throughout the capital."
"Anyone who dares to cause trouble in the capital will be killed without mercy!"
Li Jing pondered for a moment, then said.
"Your humble servant obeys the decree."
Zhang Zhentian and Gu Zhiyun spoke forcefully.
"That's all I wanted to say. Do you gentlemen have anything else to say?"
Li Jing looked at all the civil and military officials in the court and spoke.
"This old minister has something to report."
After considering it for a moment, Yu Shixiong knelt down before Li Jing and said...
"Prime Minister, you may speak frankly."
Li Jing smiled calmly and said.
"His Highness once told this old minister that a country cannot be without a ruler for a single day."
"This old minister believes that this is very good."
"Although Your Highness has already set the date for your ascension to the throne, this old minister believes that Your Highness should first move into the inner court to familiarize yourself with government affairs and handle the affairs of our Yan Kingdom."
Yu Shixiong said with a sincere expression.
"We second that proposal!"
All the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted with heartfelt emotion.
This is what everyone has been waiting for!
"There's no rush. I can get familiar with government affairs and handle state affairs slowly after I ascend the throne."
Li Jing shook his head and said, "My lords, there's no need to say anything more."
It's not that it's impossible to move into the inner court and reside in the Qianqing Palace.
However, he still had many things to do, including preparing the jade seal, imperial edict, Investiture of the Gods, and sacrificial altar for the Holy Court.
The jade seal of the Yan state was merely carved from ordinary jade, unsuitable for great use and unable to bear the power of destiny.
Therefore, Li Jing wanted to forge a jade seal using precious materials, a jade seal that could bear the power of a nation's destiny.
After the Yan Kingdom becomes a true dynasty of destiny, this jade seal will grow stronger and stronger under the nurturing power of destiny, eventually becoming a top-tier magic weapon.
Moreover, it is a treasure of destiny, and its power will continue to increase as the dynasty of destiny advances, becoming the most top-tier treasure of the world!
Imperial edicts and the Investiture of the Gods can be forged using the same materials, only the methods are different.
The imperial edict conveys a decree, and its physical form exists within the Investiture of the Gods of the Dynasty of Destiny, nurtured by the power of destiny.
Each time an imperial edict is issued, it is simply a separate edict drawn from the original imperial edict.
Imperial edicts were an important means for the emperors of the Qi Yun Dynasty to appoint civil and military officials and to confer titles upon deities.
The Investiture of the Gods is the most crucial and important thing for the dynasty with its destiny.
The reason why the dynasties outside the Burial Ground of Immortals are not true dynasties of destiny is that they lack the Investiture of the Gods!
It is impossible to bestow deification upon the civil and military officials of the Qi Yun Dynasty, to grant them the blessings of the nation's fortune, to increase their cultivation speed, or to enhance their strength.
Without the Investiture of the Gods, the imperial edicts of the Qi Yun Dynasty would naturally be unable to truly confer titles upon the gods!
Unable to be truly deified!
Of course, Li Jing was not worried at all that after he established his dynasty and left the Burial Ground of Immortals, other dynasties would learn the secret of the Investiture of the Gods and create their own Investiture of the Gods.
Even if they knew the importance of the Investiture of the Gods, they still couldn't have created it.
