Chapter 51: Can a Young Man Be Named a National Teacher?
"Since everyone is here, let's make it short!"
"I have an imperial edict here. Zhang Rang read it out!"
Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, looked up at all the ministers and gave an order to Zhang Rang.
"promise!"
The chief eunuch Zhang Rang took a step forward with the imperial edict in his hand, unfolded it and read it aloud.
"Appoint Lin Yu as the Han Dynasty's Imperial Master, Marquis of Li, and Prime Minister. He does not need to bow when entering the court, does not need to name his name when praising or bowing, and does not need to bow when entering the palace with his sword and shoes on!
Zhang Rang's voice was loud and clear, and it could be heard throughout the hall.
At this time, there was silence inside and outside Deyang Palace.
What did they just hear?
Is something wrong with your ears?
Still not awake yet?
For a moment, all the officials were in a trance.
Your Majesty wants to appoint a guy called Lin Yu as the Imperial Master of the Han Dynasty, Marquis Li, and also the Prime Minister.
Did you hear that correctly?
This is truly one man above ten thousand.
What kind of people can be appointed as the national teacher and the prime minister?
Why does Lin Yu do this?
A person who has never even heard of it.
Your Majesty, has this been cursed recently?
It is unexpected that such a title would be conferred upon someone.
Which of Yuan Huai from Runan Yuan Clan, Yang Biao from Hongnong Yang Clan, or Sanming from Liangzhou who had made great military achievements before could receive such a reward?
"Your Majesty, who is Lin Yu? What achievements has he made? How could he be rewarded by Your Majesty?"
Lu Zhi was the first to react and asked angrily.
Your Majesty's selling of official positions and titles was already absurd, and now you are appointing a person you have never heard of as the Imperial Master and Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. Isn't this ridiculous?
No, he must try his best to stop it.
At this time, not only Lu Zhi was extremely angry, but all the officials who followed were also furious for a moment.
Who the hell is this Lin Yu?
How could he be named the Imperial Master of the Han Dynasty and also be the Prime Minister?
"I agree with this. I have never heard of anyone being named a national teacher in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Your Majesty, please think twice."
The Chief Justice Cui Lie also came forward and spoke generously.
"I second the proposal, but there is something wrong with this."
When Taiwei Xu Huo saw that the officials were resisting strongly and there was a lot of uproar, he stopped pretending to be dead and hurried out to report.
The Grand Herald Zhou Zhongci Mathius was almost stunned by the imperial edict and was about to step forward to second the proposal.
Suddenly he saw that Minister of the Interior Yuan Huai, Minister of Works Yang Biao, Minister of Coachmen Yuan Ji, and Minister of Agriculture Cao Song had no intention of objecting at all.
After nudging his lips, Zhou Zhong still said nothing in the end and decided to wait and see what happened.
These old foxes are not right today!
The officials' reactions were completely within Liu Hong's expectations; he was not surprised at all.
Liu Hong stood up from the dragon throne, cleared his throat and said.
"I left the palace incognito some time ago. I believe some people have already known about it."
"I met a young man that day, Lin Yu."
What, Hui?
Can a young man be appointed as a national teacher or a prime minister?
Some officials who were daydreaming looked at Liu Hong with strange eyes unconsciously.
There was no way they could help but think about the sexual orientation of most Han emperors.
"Lin Yu is not an ordinary person, but a strange person. No, to be exact, he should be an immortal!"
"He knows everything about World, both ancient and modern."
"More importantly, he can also bring pokémon to the Han people.
Liu Hong naturally didn't care what the officials were thinking.
As long as Lin Yu can take action, the big man can still be saved.
As Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, finished speaking, all the officials were stunned.
Knowing all about the World's past and present, could you please make a draft before you tell a lie?
When we were three-year-olds?
Fairy beast?
Your Majesty, are you sure you are not cursed?
Lu Zhi looked up at Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, with a look of disbelief.
Is your majesty crazy?
Is selling official positions not enough for you?
Now...
Lu Zhi no longer knew how to describe this absurd emperor.
Cui Lie also looked at Liu Hong in shock.
This Lin Yu is a liar!
Why didn't I notice before that Your Majesty was so superstitious?
"Your Majesty, how can anyone truly understand everything from ancient times to the present?"
"It's nothing more than deceiving Your Majesty for high office and generous salary!"
"There are no immortal beasts in this world. Your Majesty, don't be fooled by him!"
Zhou Zhong couldn't help but step forward to advise.
"Yes, Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. How can you believe such absurd words? Please withdraw your edict!"
Taiwei Xu Huo said passionately with his face flushed.
"I second the motion and request Your Majesty to withdraw the imperial edict!"
"I second the motion and request Your Majesty to withdraw the imperial edict!"
"I second the motion and request Your Majesty to withdraw the imperial edict!"
For a moment, everyone knelt down inside and outside the Deyang Palace.
If they cannot stop such absurd rewards, they would be unworthy of being Han officials.
Even if I am killed by His Majesty today, I can still have a chance to leave my name in history.
At this time, these officials acted as if they would not give up until you retract the imperial edict.
However, there are always exceptions.
At this time, Minister of the Interior Yuan Huai, Minister of Works Yang Biao, Minister of the Imperial Household Yuan Ji, and Minister of Agriculture Cao Song did not kneel down.
"Grand Minister of Agriculture, what do you mean?"
The Chief Justice Cui Lie did not dare to question the Yuan and Yang families directly, so he directly took action against Cao Song.
"You don't know how to advise His Majesty, you only know how to flatter him. You are one of the Nine Ministers, you are really a pillar of the court."
Cao Song glanced at Cui Lie and remained silent.
His Majesty Lin Yu has been appointed. You ignorant fellows, even if you kneel down to your death, His Majesty probably won't even frown.
"Shut up, everyone! Get up first!"
Looking at this group of ignorant officials, Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, felt furious.
And you want me to withdraw the edict?
Do you know how much effort I put into persuading Lin Yu?
These idiots!
"If Your Majesty does not agree to withdraw the imperial edict, I cannot wait any longer!"
These officials clearly have no intention of giving up.
"Your Majesty, if you listen to slanderous words like this, it is a sign of the country's demise!"
"If your majesty doesn't agree, I will kneel and die here!"
Some officials shouted excitedly.
When the eunuchs Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong saw this scene, they both felt the urge to take action.
These idiots know nothing!
Do you know how Your Majesty begged Immortal Lin for the continuation of the Han Dynasty?
These idiots are still here to stop us!
how?
Do these traitors want the Han Dynasty to perish so badly?
There is a reason why we hate these scholars and high-ranking officials.
They will use some great principles to force Your Majesty!
If it weren't for the strict order from Your Majesty, I would have given these parasites a good scolding.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's eyes were like two knives, sniping back and forth at these officials!
These officials naturally felt it too!
But they don't care at all!
It must be that these two eunuchs bewitched the emperor again.
Just wait, I will settle the score with you soon!
"Then kneel down!"
Liu Hong looked at the group of officials and said coldly.
The two words he hated to hear the most were "national destruction"!
After a moment's silence, Liu Hong looked at the officials kneeling on the ground and silently took out his Poké Ball from his sleeve.
