At the Prime Minister's Residence, Qian Mingyi had just finished breakfast when he heard many people shouting in unison on the street outside, celebrating something?
Qian Mingyi was very surprised. He didn't understand what happened in the capital recently?
The people near the Prime Minister's official residence are all officials of the imperial court.
They and their families are usually the most stable group of people.
To make them act so fanatical, this thing is very unusual and it happened unexpectedly.
While Qian Mingyi was meditating while holding a tea cup, the housekeeper walked into the study holding a stack of newspapers.
"Sir, this is today's newspaper."
"Put it on the table!"
Unless there is a particularly urgent matter in the court, the emperor will send someone from the palace to notify the ministers to come to the palace to meet the emperor.
After many changes in the court's routine, the court has been scheduled to go to court at nine in the morning.
The previous court had to leave for the court before dawn, and the Dahua Empire had enough time to go to court after breakfast.
Prime Minister Qian Mingyi has developed the habit of reading the newspaper before going to court.
He knew exactly what was in today's newspaper.
Many incidents in the court were caused by the contents of newspaper reports.
Prime Minister Qian Mingyi opened the newspaper. He saw the headline of today's newspaper and showed a surprised look.
The military has made rapid progress and has completely occupied Europe.
The military arrived in Europe in March and ended the war in September. It only took half a year to destroy all European countries.
Prime Minister Qian Mingyi's worry before the war started was that the empire would fall into a war that would last for decades or hundreds of years.
Once such a long war occurs, either the empire will be dragged down, or the military elite group will rise and the civilian officials will be marginalized.
Prime Minister Qian Mingyi does not want to see this situation.
Of course, this situation is the worst case, and the probability of it occurring is very low.
But according to common sense, if the imperial army attacks Europe and wants to completely occupy Europe, it will take several years.
This is why Prime Minister Qian Mingyi did not immediately think that Europe had achieved major success.
Every time the empire expands, a large amount of revenue will be generated, allowing all classes of the empire to reap the benefits of external expansion.
The empire's external expansion is almost one of the main consensuses that the whole country can gather.
It is very common for these people to celebrate victory in the war.
Looking at this matter from the perspective of Prime Minister Qian Mingyi, it will have a great impact on the future situation of the empire.
Before the war started this time, Emperor Su He had promised that he would divide the vassal states again.
But no one knows how many vassal states Emperor Su He will entrust and who will go overseas to establish the country.
But everyone knows that when these people leave, the power vacuum they leave behind will inevitably be filled.
This wave of changes will exceed everyone's expectations.
Among the people who will go overseas to build a country this time are older princes from the royal family.
What will these princes do?
No one can predict it in advance.
Prime Minister Qian Mingyi also needs to act according to circumstances.
When he learned the news, he could no longer sit in the study for too long, so he immediately took a car and headed to the palace.
On the way to the Qianqing Palace, he wanted to test the tone of the cabinet ministers. During this period, they, the civil servants, should put aside their past grudges and move forward and retreat together.
Prime Minister Qian Mingyi drove on the street in a car.
He saw that the news had spread, and the capital was filled with people cheering and holding flags.
…………………………
Prince Su Shu held a warm milk bottle in one hand and his eldest son Su Youmin in the other, and said happily: "Call daddy, and I will give you a drink."
Su Youmin stared with big eyes, looking aggrieved.
He stretched out his hand to grab the bottle, but couldn't. He was so anxious that he wanted to cry.
"Mommy mommy."
When Crown Princess Zhao Qingxue heard her son's cry, she immediately hugged him to comfort him.
Prince Su Shu handed the bottle to his eldest son Su Youmin.
"Now that she's so old, she can only call her mom."
Princess Zhao Qingxue saw her husband looking aggrieved.
She comforted: "Youmin just learned to call mom. He is very smart and will soon learn to call dad."
Prince Su Shu also felt that he was a little anxious.
Just as he was about to hug Su Youmin, he heard someone knocking on the room.
Prince Su Shu opened the door and saw Prince Zhan Shizhou Baixin.
"Your Highness, I have something important to report."
Prince Su Shu asked Crown Princess Zhao Qingxue to take care of the children. He and Prince Zhan Shi Zhou Baixin came to the study.
Zhou Baixin took out a newspaper and handed it to Prince Su Shu.
After Prince Su Shu read it carefully, he couldn't control his mood and said happily: "Great, this is the best news I have heard recently."
Prince Su Shu was overjoyed. The fact that the European warriors could finish so quickly was not only beneficial to the empire.
For him personally, it also has indescribable benefits.
Many of the princes who stayed in the capital were a certain threat to him.
The European region was occupied by the empire, and the father divided the vassal states into vassal states.
In order to balance the vassal country, some younger brothers will inevitably be sent out to control the vassal country.
This will make the status of Prince Su Shu more stable.
He doesn't have to worry about his position as prince, as he can be replaced by a younger brother at any time.
Prince Zhan Shi Zhou Baixin saw the change in Prince Su Shu's face.
He knew what Prince Su Shu was thinking.
He suggested: "Your Highness, you'd better not make any suggestions regarding the enfeoffment of other princes.
The decision made by His Majesty the Emperor will not be changed easily.
Your suggestion seems to be unreasonable.
This will leave a bad impression in the minds of His Majesty the Emperor and other ministers."
Prince Su Shu immediately reflected, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Mr. Zhou's suggestion is indeed wise."
Prince Su Shu knew when he should show off and when he should hide himself.
It was just a matter of interest, and he was too excited.
There are some things that cannot be taken shortcuts, as shortcuts may hide unknown dangers.
Prince Su Shu further discussed with Prince Zhan Shi, what can they do with this favorable condition?
…………………………
Outside the Qianqing Palace, many ministers were not summoned by Emperor Su He, and they wanted to ask to see Emperor Su He.
News of the victory in the European War has spread throughout the city.
Especially the Grand Governor Qi Gangyi, a minister who has a very high possibility of being crowned king.
When he heard the news, he couldn't sit still at all.
He immediately rushed to the Qianqing Palace to prepare to meet the emperor and understand Emperor Su He's attitude.
Emperor Su He really wanted to enfeoff again, and he would fight tooth and nail to seize this opportunity.
If Emperor Su He had no intention of enfeoffing, he would cease all activities and never mention the matter again.
Grand Governor Qi Gangyi knew that his arms could not twist his thighs.
Emperor Su He did not want to enfeoff, even if he had promised it before, it would have no effect.
If these ministers are too active, they are forcing the palace.
Doing so will anger Emperor Su He, and they will not even be able to maintain their current glory and wealth.
Grand Governor Qi Gangyi looked at the many ministers outside the Qianqing Palace.
With so many ministers coming, it was almost possible to hold an imperial meeting.
Their thoughts were basically the same. Both civil and military officials wanted to find out what Emperor Su He said.
Prince Su Shu learned that many ministers came from outside Qianqing Palace.
He also arrived immediately to learn about the relevant situation.
After Prince Su Shu learned about it, he was a little dumbfounded. These people were really too eager.
He hugged his fists to the ministers and headed to the Qianqing Palace.
He walked outside his father's study and asked the eunuch on duty to tell his father that he wanted to see him.
Prince Su Shu received permission and immediately walked in.
He saw his father at the table, looking through the bound telegram.
After Prince Su Shu saluted, he reported: "Father, there are many ministers waiting outside Qianqing Palace."
When Emperor Su He heard the news, he was not surprised at all.
He chuckled and said: "These people! They really haven't changed at all.
After a great victory in the European battlefield, the imperial court still had to deal with the aftermath.
It just so happens that I will hold a royal meeting this time to discuss matters related to the court's aftermath and let them enter the Qianqing Palace."
When Prince Su Shu received the order, he immediately informed the ministers waiting outside Qianqing Palace of the news.
These ministers were so excited that they immediately went to Qianqing Palace.
…………………………
Emperor Su He sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers who looked a little anxious.
“In ancient times, there was a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold, and the emperor’s promise was made with golden words.
I promised before that after occupying Europe, I will entrust the heroes according to their merits.
Before enfeoffment, a lot of work needs to be done.
The most basic requirement is to sort out everyone's merits.
When the army returns to the court, I will reward you together."
As soon as Emperor Su He made this promise, many ministers in the Qianqing Palace turned red with excitement.
The news of the enfeoffment was reconfirmed. Based on their understanding of Emperor Su He, this matter was basically confirmed.
The only uncertain news now is the order given to several vassal states.
But no one would take the initiative to ask about this kind of thing.
No one would be stupid enough to make Emperor Su He unhappy.
Emperor Su He's attitude was already obvious. After the army returned to the court, he would be rewarded according to his meritorious service.
Those who have accumulated rich merits will inevitably become the first choice of the king of the vassal country.
Nobles with high status will try their best to fight for this opportunity.
Grand Governor Qi Gangyi breathed a sigh of relief.
The enfeoffment is based on merit, and as long as it is not specifically enfeoffed to the prince, there must be a quota for him.
Emperor Su He has promised that he can safely arrange matters for the founding of the country.
In the Qianqing Palace, the ministers exchanged glances with each other.
They were a little worried before, but Emperor Su He made excuses not to admit it.
Now it seems that what Emperor Su He promised will basically come true.
The ministers were wary of each other and they had now become rivals.
Emperor Su He was sitting on the dragon throne, and he had a clear view of the performance of the ministers below.
As long as the overt and covert struggles of these ministers are kept within certain limits, he will not interfere.
Emperor Su He asked: "Things are complicated after the war. Do you ministers have any good suggestions?"
Prince Su Shu heard that his father asked about this matter.
He was thinking about the impact of the victory in the Prince's Mansion, including this scene.
Prince Su Shu, who was prepared in advance, immediately stood up and responded: "Father, I think most things will happen after the war.
The cabinet and the Metropolitan Government are experienced and they will handle it well.
There is only one thing you should pay special attention to.
As Europe has experienced the ravages of war, local food production will definitely plummet.
Erchen knows that the lower class people in Europe will basically not rebel as long as they have enough to eat.
On the contrary, it is the nobility, because Europe implements the enfeoffment system.
The knights entrusted by the duke only obey the orders of the duke and will not obey the orders of the king.
This led to the fact that in various European countries, the status of nobles was important, and the main force in rebellions was also nobles.
Erchen believes that whether it is directly under the empire or a vassal state.
We can implement strategies to win over the local bottom class and divide and disintegrate the nobility, which will ensure long-term stability in Europe.
Erchen System has considered that it is cheaper to win over the people at the bottom.
The most important material to win over the people is food. If it is supplemented with medicine and education, it will be foolproof."
Emperor Su He listened to Prince Su Shu's analysis.
He praised: "The prince has made great progress, and I also agree with this idea."
The Grand Governor Qi Gangyi then stood up and said: "Your Majesty has always advocated clear rewards and punishments in the army, and quick rewards and quick punishments.
I believe that the imperial court should reward some military merits that are easy to verify in the army as soon as possible.
High-level military general merits that require multiple verifications and certifications can be retained and reissued after the squadron returns to the court."
Emperor Su He nodded, this was already the court's practice for rewards and punishments for the army.
The imperial court would soon give rewards to grassroots soldiers for winning battles.
Their merits are easier to check, and these people are also the cornerstone of an army.
The ministers expressed their opinions and began to govern post-war Europe according to their ideas.
Emperor Su He praised several good ideas, but he simply ignored some ideas that were difficult to implement.
The atmosphere in which he discussed matters with his ministers was cheerful.
We have been prepared in advance to deal with any problems that may arise after the war.
The imperial meeting ended and the ministers left Qianqing Palace.
Some of them were enfeoffed and had high hopes for the important officials of the imperial court.
They walked out of the palace and started laughing wildly.
Grand Governor Qi Gangyi was a veteran who followed Emperor Su He when he raised troops.
He finally managed to hold on until the clouds cleared and the moon came out, catching up with the rest of his comrades.
Grand Governor Qi Gangyi smiled and shed tears from the corners of his eyes.
More officials are doing their best to express themselves at this moment.
If Emperor Su He enfeoffs many countries this time, it will be similar to the original pattern of the European continent.
Each of them has the hope of being enfeoffed.
During this period, they must try their best to express themselves in order to be favored by Emperor Su He.
…………………………
When the whole country cheered because of the victory in the European War.
The second prince Sule had just arrived in Constantinople, but he didn't know whether he should be happy.
The second prince, Sule, received permission from his father to form troops to attack Ottoman Türkiye.
He was very ambitious and prepared to make great achievements and obtain a fiefdom that belonged entirely to him.
But having never been on the battlefield, he could only fight behind Commander Wu Ming.
Even so, when the army in hand encountered the fanatical Ottoman Turkish army, it still suffered a lot of casualties.
While assisting the Royal Army in maintaining order in the Arab region, he restored his troops as quickly as possible.
When the second prince Su Lei regained his strength and prepared to go to Europe to make more achievements.
He received news of total victory in the European War.
Su Lei forced a smile and sent a telegram to his queen mother.
Now he can only have a chance to take over the Central Plains if he is entrusted to a rich place.
Su Lei couldn't accept it at all. He was sent to a snow-capped mountain or desert, and could only rely on his mother's help.
