"Xiang Yu, Wang Huacheng, Guo Zhiqi, Chen Bangyan." In the Qianqing Palace in Nanjing, Zhu Hengjia couldn't help but feel so angry that his liver ached when he saw these four names reported by the cabinet after the court meeting. I asked you and the court to recommend a cabinet candidate. He actually pushed four of them in one go. Damn it, damn it!
He couldn't help but get angry. The recommendation was actually a behind-the-scenes operation. The internal candidate was already scheduled to be the Governor of Mongolia, Chen Bangyan. The discussion was just a formality. Unexpectedly, it went wrong! The cabinet drafted four candidates at once. When I came out, Chen Bangyan, whom I was optimistic about, was ranked last in the court recommendation. Just imagine, the emperor's internal choice of a good candidate may not be selected. This is definitely a dangerous signal, which means that the imperial power may lose control of the government. Even if it is a mediocre ruler It cannot be tolerated, let alone the always strong Emperor Guangwu.
However, while he was burning with anger, he also saw the strength of the Crown Prince's party. He had already secretly helped Chen Bangyan, but the court meeting still had this result. This shows how powerful Guan Shouzhen and Gu Yi's group are! Well, we can no longer condone them, we must reduce their power! Chen Bangyan must join the cabinet, otherwise does I have the final say in this country, or does Guan Shouzhen, Gu Yi and others have the final say?
However, it is not difficult to let Chen Bangyan enter the cabinet, just issue an imperial edict; what is difficult is to let him enter the cabinet without causing political turmoil. Alas! Just wait a little longer.
Many years of 1995 supreme career have already polished Zhu Hengjia into a mature politician. As a mature politician, he will never deal with problems according to his own temper. Instead, he will govern a big country like cooking small delicacies and stewing soup over low heat. Simmer slowly.
Guan Shouzhen was very cunning in drafting the other three candidates.
Yu Chaoxiang was the first batch of Conglong heroes. Although Wang Huacheng and Guo Zhiqi were not as senior as Yu Chaoxiang, they were also Conglong heroes who came to defect to him before he ascended the throne. These three people, in terms of qualifications, are no worse than Chen Bangyan. Yu Chaoxiang’s qualifications Even older. What's more important is that these three people are neither princelings nor princelings, but 100% imperialists. To put it bluntly, they are all my confidants and an important foundation for me to stabilize the government.< /p>
If only Chen Bangyan is allowed to join the cabinet and these three are not allowed to join the cabinet, it is likely to break the hearts of these three veterans and shake the foundation of my rule. If the three of them are won over by the crown prince, then the power of the princelings will be I will be stronger, and maybe the day when I will reach the Zen position is not far away!
Alas! Not letting Chen Bangyan join the cabinet will lose my prestige; letting Chen Bangyan join the cabinet will shake my foundation. Guan Shouzhen is so cunning! No, Guan Shouzhen can't think of such a damaging move. It must be Tang Zhen’s idea!
The heroic figure of Tang Zhen emerged in Zhu Hengjia's mind. He had chosen him to be the prince's teacher because he had the foolish loyalty of a feudal scholar-official in him. He did not let him down and was loyal to Ji'er. Geng Geng. But he is only loyal to Ji'er, but not to me! If I hand over the throne to Ji'er and become the Supreme Emperor, it doesn't matter. But the problem is that I am in great health, I eat well, and I don't want to hand over the power. Therefore, this Tang Zhen gives me a headache.
After all, the old emperor had ruled China for many years and was well versed in the tactic of "drag". Since there was resistance to Chen Bangyan's entry into the cabinet, he would put it aside until the time was right.
He suddenly remembered that in the "A Note on Requesting Grants for the Generals and Smoothing All Matters in the Northern Territory" that his second son had given him, a total of four things were mentioned.
The first thing is to ask for merits from the generals. Although Chen Bangyan cannot join the cabinet now, he and the generals still have to be rewarded for their military merits, otherwise the morale of the army will be chilled. He ordered the Ministry of War to verify the merits of the generals and come up with a report as soon as possible.
Merit reward results.
The second thing is to build a port in Mangazea, set up sea and land customs, trade with Western countries, and increase fiscal revenue. This is a good thing, so we should do it quickly and order the Ministry of Household Affairs to handle this matter. The old emperor felt that Mangazea
The name Zeya was hard to pronounce, but I heard that the city was very wealthy and the Westerners called it "Baghdad of Siberia", so they renamed it "Sida" with a stroke of a pen.
The third thing is to leave a few Zhenxiong soldiers to guard the four provinces in northern Xinjiang. It is necessary. Countless soldiers paid their lives for these places. How can we not send troops to garrison them? The decree appointed Sun Guangwei as the new governor of Beihai Province and Ruan Jin as the governor of Beihai Province.
, Ma Xin was the admiral of Shanbei Province, and the dynasty first served as the admiral of Zhengxi Province. Ordinary provinces only have general troops, while the four provinces of Northern Xinjiang have admirals, which shows that the old emperor attaches great importance to the four provinces of Northern Xinjiang. He also ordered Niebu
Lin Xingzhu, the commander-in-chief of Chu, must not slack off in rectifying military affairs.
The fourth thing is to send envoys from Mangazeya to Europe, focusing on visiting countries such as Sweden, Poland, Crimea, and Rumi (Ottoman Turkey) that have bad relations with Tsarist Russia, to contain Tsarist Russia. This idea is very bold.
It also attracted the old emperor’s admiration.
But who should be sent? This person must understand the national conditions of each European country, and it is best to be proficient in foreign languages. He must also be courageous and able to endure hardships. It is really hard to find!
Zhu Hengjia went through the candidates he thought were suitable in his mind, and suddenly thought of Franzbekov, the Rakshasa general whom he had named Bratsk Bo. This man was a German and had been a businessman when he was young.
He travels around Europe, so he understands the customs of various countries, understands many languages, likes adventure, is very courageous, and can endure hardships. Well, that's him.
Then I thought about it, and sent him to visit the country on behalf of the Chinese Empire. I had to give him a decent official position. I immediately issued an order to appoint Franzbekov as the right minister of the Court of Conciergerie and the chief envoy of the mission to Europe; Dong Xuan, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites
He and Li Shouzhi, the foreign minister of the Concierge Council, served as deputy envoys and led 300 followers. They set off from Mangazea by boat and visited various European countries. The old emperor specially asked: "When you go, you must promote the power of the Ming Dynasty to the world and don't lose it."
The dignity of the Celestial Kingdom has been compromised. Sweden, Poland, Crimea, and Rumi are the best if they are willing to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. If they are not willing, don’t force it. Our Ming Dynasty has no shortage of allies!"
One hundred thousand brave men support the drum,
The clouds heard a chorus.
The enchanting atmosphere of the auspicious opening of the barracks fell,
The powerful waves of the Whale River are low.
Xiaoricaijingsha external transfer,
The spring breeze returns and the horse neighs at the willow edge.
There is a Yan Gong pen in the curtain,
Together, we can build the creek.
Zhu Ruodeng, the Ji Wang of the Ming Dynasty, led his army back to Beijing in triumph from Tyumen County. As soon as they reached Omsk, they suddenly saw a number of horsemen galloping towards them. When they looked carefully, they saw that it was Franzbekov.
After receiving the news that he was promoted to the right minister of the Concierge Court, Zhu Ruodeng was in a happy mood. This was a high-ranking official of the third rank. There were many military generals who defected to him, but there were very few civil servants, and there were even fewer senior officials among the civil servants. Frank
Tsbekov's promotion can be seen as another enhancement of his own strength.
However, His Highness was a little too happy. This trip took more than three years. By the time Franzbekov came back, the battle for the heir had come to an end. In fact, it did not help much.
Busy.
"If you don't go and prepare for a trip, what's the matter with me?" Zhu Ruodeng asked Franzbekov with a smile.
"Your Highness is very kind to me. I am far away from home. I don't know when I will see you again, so I want to send you a gift." Franzbekov expressed his true feelings and burst into tears.
Zhu Ruodeng was moved in his heart. Who said that Yi people have no feelings? This Yi people are very loyal to Gu Bian!
He stroked his back and encouraged: "When you travel thousands of miles away, you must take good care of yourself and come back safely. In the future, the imperial court will use you again!"
