Logically speaking, the canonization of a prince must be conferred by the emperor.

But now the throne of the Western Jin Dynasty is empty, and there is no emperor who can canonize Liu Ye, a king with a different surname.

Besides, even if there is an emperor, Liu Ye will never accept the canonization of the emperor.

Because once he accepts the canonization of the emperor, it means that his legitimacy comes from the emperor, and he will be lower than the emperor.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Liu Ye.

Now that he has decided to expand his sphere of influence to the Western Jin Dynasty, he cannot succumb to others.

As for the Minister of the First and Second Office, he is worthy of being a person who has been in the ups and downs of his career for many years. Just from Liu Ye's words, he has accurately grasped what he meant.

Originally, Ru's top priority for the Western Jin Dynasty was to elect a new monarch to stabilize the domestic situation.

However, under the hint of the chief minister, his former disciples and old officials only submitted a form to invite Liu Ye to be granted the title every day, but they never mentioned the new emperor candidate.

Everyone seems to have forgotten this matter, and they don't remember that the throne is still empty now, and the domestic dragons have no leader.

And after setting the title of prince, the canonization ceremony will begin.

The canonization ceremony, which was supposed to be presided over by the emperor, has now become a sacrifice to heaven.

This is also to explain to everyone that the prince Liu Ye does not come from the emperor, but from heaven.

Since ancient times, only the emperor and the son of heaven have claimed to be ordered by heaven, and no prince dared to claim such a claim.

Because this means that the king and the emperor are both canonized by God's will, and there is no distinction between each other.

In a way, this is equivalent to rebellion.

And now Liu Ye is doing this rebellious thing.

Not only does he not need the canonization of the emperor, but even the new Western Jin emperor needs his consent to be elected!

Although on the bright side, Liu Ye cannot directly control the supreme power of the Western Jin Dynasty, so as not to attract the fear of other Martial Dao forces.

But secretly, he wanted everyone to know that in the current Western Jin Kingdom, whoever speaks is the one who counts!

And all of this starts with accepting the canonization from heaven.

The canonization ceremony was very simple, and no guests were even invited to watch the ceremony.

Except for officials in the Western Jin Dynasty, almost no outsiders participated.

The reason is also very simple, because what Liu Ye wants is to control the power in the Western Jin Dynasty as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

As for those fancy superficial kung fu, he was too lazy to do it.

After the brief ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Liu Ye had already received the seal of the King of Qin from the Chief Minister, and changed into a black nine-dragon robe.

The Nine Dragon Robe, with nine five-clawed golden dragons printed on the dragon robe, symbolizes the Nine Five Supreme.

This is the robe that only the emperor is qualified to wear. Wearing the Nine Dragon Robe as a king is definitely an act of arrogance.

But with Liu Ye's current fierce power, no one dared to accuse Liu Ye of overstepping.

On the contrary, quite a few ministers from the court rushed to flatter Liu Ye, praising him for his invincible power and how the Western Jin Kingdom needs him as a savior now.

But just as the Chief Minister said, even if you want to flatter Liu Ye, not everyone has the qualifications.

He didn't even bother to meet those guys, he just asked Shen Zhouxu to send them away.

As for Liu Ye himself, he returned to the palace, and summoned the chief minister and others to start the first meeting.

Now, apart from Liu Ye, the newly conferred king of Qin, the temporary cabinet headed by the first and auxiliary ministers is in charge of the power in the country.

From the head minister down, there are three elders in the interim cabinet, all of whom have high status in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Liu Ye sits at the top with a big horse and a golden knife, while the four elders are arranged on the left and right sides.

I saw Liu Ye waved his hand and said: "My elders, the Western Jin Dynasty is unstable now, and this king is a member of Rivers and Lakes after all. Firstly, he is not familiar with the affairs of the court and China, and secondly, it is impossible to stay in the capital for a long time. According to My lord, the word 'temporary' in this temporary cabinet can go now! From now on, the big and small affairs in the country will require the elders of the cabinet to pay more attention to it!"

In one word, Liu Ye turned the temporary cabinet into a formal cabinet.

Moreover, the power of the cabinet has been greatly increased. His statement is also an explanation to several cabinet elders. If it is not a major issue in the future, he will not interfere, and will leave it to the cabinet to handle it.

This can be regarded as a tribute to the chief minister who took the lead in turning to him. He has never been a mean and ungrateful person.

As long as he can serve himself well, Liu Ye will never treat his own people badly.

Hearing the words, the chief minister and assistant minister also looked happy, and quickly stood up with cupped hands and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. From now on, we will work together to live up to His Highness's trust, and to live up to the common people!"

Compared with the harsh and ungrateful Western Jin emperor, a big boss like Liu Ye is obviously much more generous.

The chief minister also secretly rejoiced that he didn't make a wrong choice. People like Liu Ye are the ones who can truly achieve great things.

However, the chief minister also knew that no matter how powerful he was, he was still a rootless duckweed in front of Liu Ye.

Liu Ye controls the supreme force, as long as he wants, he can kick himself down at any time, and someone else can take the position of chief assistant.

Therefore, he did not get carried away in the slightest because of the monopoly of power, and said directly: "However, the old man and others are not young, and the current situation in the country is chaotic. I am afraid that the old minister and others have more than enough energy. Mr. Shen is known as 'the sky is right', and he has no plans. It is better to let Mr. Shen join the cabinet, and the old man can help him with his many years of experience. I wonder what your highness thinks?"

"Who do you think this king is?"

Liu Ye pretended to be angry and said, "Don't be suspicious, but don't be suspicious when employing people. My king asked you to do it, so you can do it boldly, don't have any scruples! Otherwise, this king will be angry!"

The chief minister's face showed panic, and he retreated nonuo, but he was very happy in his heart.

Since Liu Ye said so, he was completely relieved.

"However, what Shoufu said is also true. The current domestic situation in the Western Jin Dynasty is unstable, and a group of capable people is indeed needed to stabilize the situation."

He took out a booklet from his cuff, handed it to the chief minister and said, "This is a batch of lists drawn up by the king. If there is no problem, the chief minister will arrange them after reading it!"

This list was finalized by Liu Ye overnight and Shen Zhouxu. The candidates on the list are all absolutely reliable and capable members of the Tiangong sect.

Although it is inconvenient for Liu Ye to become the supreme ruler of the Western Jin Dynasty now, this batch of lists covers all the key places in the Western Jin Dynasty.

As long as the manpower is arranged, Liu Ye's power will immediately be able to firmly control the overall situation of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Just one sentence can determine the appointment and removal of nearly one-third of the officials in the Western Jin Dynasty. Today, Liu Ye is already in power.
