Wang Jing immediately wondered if the emperor wanted to recognize his ancestors and change his surname with Prince Li Xuan of Jin?

But then he noticed that there was a sentence in Long Rui's words that said 'heir to Princess Chengchang Lechang'.

He then gave a soft compliment and said, "Your Majesty is indeed a good student of the King of Jin. You have chosen a good opportunity. What does the Ministry of Rites say now? What is the opinion from the Princess Chang

Today is December 20th, and tomorrow is the winter solstice.

According to the etiquette and regulations of the imperial court, this is the day when the emperor goes out of the suburbs to offer sacrifices to the 'heavenly realm and the earth behind it'. It is the most important ceremony of the year for the imperial court, besides offering sacrifices to the imperial temple.

Especially now that the new 'Heavenly Emperor' has emerged, he no longer has a name as empty as Haotian, and now the entire Confucianism, from top to bottom, highly praises this' Xuanhuang Heavenly Emperor '.

After all, it is well known that Li Xuan, the contemporary Confucian saint and King of Jin, is the reincarnation of the 'Xuanhuang Heavenly Emperor'.

The key to the governance of the court today, several classics of the Confucian school, all come from this ancient and unparalleled Emperor Tian, who is truly one of our own.

The great Confucian scholars also intend to use the supreme god 'Heavenly Emperor' to restrain future emperors and kings..

So for tomorrow's grand ceremony to worship the heavens, the Ministry of Rites has prepared an extra grand ceremony.

What else can Princess Chang say? Of course, it's to avoid suspicion. Your Highness has been staying in seclusion at Princess Changle's mansion since he retired from politics in the middle of the year. However, there are also rumors that this person has already flown up to Daluotian to find her husband

As Long Rui spoke, a strange smile appeared on his face, but then he felt uncomfortable and let out a light cough: "As for the Ministry of Rites, it's currently a headache! I guess I'll have to agree, can we really stop tomorrow's Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony? Besides, it's also a good thing.

You are also aware of the reputation of King Jin among the people nowadays. I, from the court officials to the common people in the Great Jin Dynasty, worshipped both the King of Jin and Emperor Xuanhuang together

Wang Jingwei nodded slightly, and the emperor wished for the original text to return to its source. He respected the Prince of Jin as the 'Emperor's Father' and inherited the inheritance of Princess Changle, which naturally brought many benefits.

This can not only further gain public opinion, but also stabilize the luck of the Jin Dynasty and make the legitimacy of the royal family deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Moreover, His Majesty's true identity is well known to everyone, and his facial features and demeanor are simply molded from the same mold as the King of Jin.

This is the true 'Emperor', the Son of Heaven——

The current problem is that some people in the Ministry of Rites are worried that if they make concessions too easily this time, it will give the emperor an advantage, so they may simply recognize their ancestors and return to their roots, changing the imperial system of the Great Jin Dynasty

When Long Rui said this, there was also a hint of worry in his eyebrows and eyes.

The emperor is not only the bloodline of the Jin king, but also the one who taught and raised him. He not only respects his knowledge, but also admires his achievements, so this is highly likely to happen.

Unfortunately, both the common people and military households around the world are delighted to see its success and enjoy it.

But in the eyes of Confucianism, it is not a good thing, as it will not only cause turmoil in the court, but also damage the reputation of the Jin king.

He then shook his head and changed the topic: "Let's not talk about that. What did you gain from this mission to patrol Jiangnan under the mandate of Tianzi? Speaking of which, both of us haven't visited our hometown for almost sixteen years

Then you really should take some time to go back to your hometown and see, it's very different from twenty years ago

Upon hearing this, Long Rui chuckled and said, "Nowadays, Jinling City is surrounded by eight streets and nine moats, and the mirage mountain market is bustling with lights and traffic, to the point where even the 20 zhang wide Zhuque Street is often blocked due to its dense population. Even the countryside has seen the rise of three story villas with gray walls and white tiles, arranged in rows, complementing the beauty of the Jiangnan water, which is truly stunning.

The entire Southern Zhili region, even an ordinary commoner, can have abundant clothing and food, and even eat meat from clothing and silk. The weather is much stronger than in Northern Zhili

Upon hearing this, Long Rui couldn't help but show a leisurely and longing expression: "All of this is the work of the Jin King's reform! From what you said, I feel that the more than ten years of official work have been worth it

Wang Jing nodded and said, "The current prosperous era is exactly what our generation dreamed of and aspired to when we were studying. Now there is only one worry, as grain prices in various regions are becoming increasingly low. People use surplus grain to extract oil and feed livestock, but with more meat and oil consumption, the consumption of grain is actually reduced.

A few years ago, Taixu was still purchasing large amounts of grain from the mortal realm every year, but it is said that now the Heavenly Court can also be self-sufficient. So now the people are unwilling to grow rice and prefer to grow mulberry trees, tea, rapeseed, corn, and so on, or abandon the grain fields and go to the city to work.

But this is a great hidden danger, and in the future, there may be concerns of famine. I am preparing to submit a letter to the court, specifying the quantity and yield of grain fields in various regions, which will be enforced by the court. Another issue is corruption -

At this point, Wang Jing furrowed her brow and said, "I don't know what those people from the Anti Corruption Bureau are doing. Now there are some signs of corruption in Jiangnan. Officials from all over the country are eating and drinking heavily, and public funds and state-owned assets are severely depleted. These people are so brave. It's only been a few years since King Jin resigned from office

Since King Li Xuan of Jin established the Anti Corruption Commission, the function of supervising the integrity of all officials has been separated from their supervisory commission by more than half.

Although a 'Anti Corruption Department' was established within the Imperial Censorate, the main force remained on the side of the Anti Corruption Commission.

The Anti Corruption Commission is quite diligent, but their personnel are too few. Nowadays, there is a large-scale construction in various places, such as cutting mountains and cutting land, building roads and bridges, and construction is happening everywhere. The silver money of the court is being spent like a sea, which inevitably gives those petty people the opportunity to manipulate. The establishment of the Anti Corruption Commission is only over 10000 people. How can they manage it? The cabinet has recently passed a resolution that both the Anti Corruption and Inspection Commissions need to be expanded

Long Rui gave a bitter smile and then looked serious, "Are there any problems with the projects that our Ministry of Communications is currently building

You guys are in charge, I only have a rough understanding. The problem is also quite serious. Projects are being subcontracted layer by layer in various regions, steel bars and bricks are being sold off as good, workers and monsters are being deducted food, but the budget is well done and tightly stuck. However, I suggest you still investigate carefully

When Wang Jing said this, she had already walked out of the exit with Long Rui.

He then turned his head and looked at the crowded front hall behind him with a somewhat strange expression.

Twenty years ago, Wang Jing could never have imagined that there would be rune railways and rune locomotives in this world. In an hour and six hundred miles, it would only take one day to travel from BJ to Nanjing, with morning and evening departures.

This is really a good thing, it has great benefits for military affairs and people's livelihood

Wang Jing couldn't help but sigh and say, "Your Ministry of Communications should have made a few more, preferably connecting all provinces

At this moment, he suddenly saw an official wearing a ninth rank official uniform walking to the square ahead and unfolding a Ming Huang edict.

At the same time, a round and clear male voice sounded in everyone's ears.

I, Yang Kai, the propaganda officer of the Propaganda Department, hereby declare the latest national decree issued by the emperor and the cabinet -

Wang Jing's expression twitched slightly, and she immediately listened attentively.

I am actually the son and son of the Prince of Jin and Princess Changle Chang. Due to the lack of heirs from my former imperial grandfather, the cruel emperor plotted rebellion and was forced to do so by treacherous courtiers in the court. My grandfather had to resort to this separation of flesh and blood, pretending to be the posthumous son of the Prince Duanhui, and was raised under the name of Crown Prince Duanhui. However, since I was taking care of myself, I have been raised by Princess Changle and personally taught by my father.

That's why my feelings for the children will always remain in my heart, and I also have the desire to enjoy the water and feed back. So today I am issuing this decree to rectify the origin and restore the Golden Register and Jade Documents, to honor the Prince of Jin as the Emperor's father and Princess Chang as the Emperor's mother, to inherit the legacy of the Emperor's mother, and to advertise my bloodline as the true source to the people, so that they can be informed

The crowd inside the waiting room suddenly made a loud 'bang' sound. A large crowd is gathering towards this propaganda official, and everyone is looking excited, even blushing.

The rumor is indeed true, the emperor is actually the son of the King of Jin

"What's false? It is said that the five facial features, eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as the portrait of Emperor Xuanhuang."

Speaking of which, this is also a very regrettable thing. When the late emperor was here, Princess Chang and the King of Jin fell in love. However, due to the circumstances, they were unable to truly form a marriage alliance

Haha! I heard that the emperor had a dispute with the Ministry of Rites this morning, so it seems that the Ministry of Rites has made concessions

Great! His Highness the Prince of Jin has made great achievements in this world. We, the military households, are able to live comfortably in clothing, food, clothing, silk, and meat, all thanks to His Highness's twelve years of governance. We will do our utmost to support and protect the emperor, in order to repay the great kindness of the Prince of Jin

Wang Jing exchanged a glance with Long Rui next to her and then smiled at each other.
