If it is really those businessmen, then it is really possible.
But something suddenly occurred to him and he asked: "No, how is this possible? Didn't Long Live Lord just say before that he should not open the sea ban? Why did he change his attitude so quickly?".
Zhou Ming smiled at this time and said: "The sea ban is just to worry that no one will farm the fields after they go out to make profits. Of course, it is also to prevent the people from getting hurt. If there is a big enough benefit, then it goes without saying that no one will care about it.
What did they say, but what can this war bring to themselves?".
At this time, Lao Qi also helped: "Most people are only concerned about their immediate interests. For example, the two of us said that we would send troops to fight against the little gangsters, but no one on the side cared at all, because we
All that is being said now is that empty promises cannot be cashed, but if they succeed in choosing the crown prince this time, then it would be much more appropriate to invest in us!".
Zhou Ming also said at this time: "Yes, it is true. People are always greedy and will not say that they will overdraw the future because of the present. This is impossible, so they don't care at all about our actions, but they may not know
That is to say, this road will make the entire empire rich. Forget about these things, the two of us originally wanted to hide our capabilities and bide our time, but facing this group of stupid pigs, we only know that they are fighting for power, so the two of us still want to do something.
What we can do!".
When Ruoxi heard this, she immediately felt that Zhou Ming and Qi Ye were different from the others. Others were either fighting among themselves for their own enjoyment or for their own selfishness, but Zhou Ming and Qi Ye were already thinking about going there.
The gap is also obvious when it comes to eliminating those enemies that may appear in the empire in the future.
For example, the Eighth Master and the Fourth Master are the same, but Ruo Xi has never figured out why outstanding people like Zhou Ming and the Seventh Master have not left a brilliant mark in history? Could it be that someone deliberately gave this period of time to
Eradicated? Or is it not a good result in the end of their expedition?
Ruo Xi couldn't believe it when she thought of this. Why can't such people leave their footprints in history?
Ruoxi also quickly asked: "Fifth Master, Seventh Master, I wonder what your attitude is towards them? They are Japanese pirates!".
Zhou Ming glanced at the other party and said to Lao Qi: "Lao Qi told him what our policy is for prisoners?".
Lao Qi: "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let anyone go. All the men who can fight will be executed, and all the women will be brought back and distributed to the meritorious soldiers. In short, those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish.
What's more, we are surrounded by enemies, and we cannot risk our lives for these people!".
But Ruoxi asked: "Wouldn't this mean we become the same people as them? Then when the time comes, what will others think of us if they know about it? Will...".
At this time, Lao Qi laughed out loud when he heard this: "Miss Ruoxi, you have to know that although you are my fifth brother's future Fujin, you should also understand one thing, no matter who you are, you will not treat the weak.
Do you have any mercy? And haven't you said it yourself, as long as you kill these guys, you will do anything? Why are you so soft-hearted now? You have to know that this is the battlefield, either you die or I die, and history books only
The winners will be recorded, and the losers will be stepping stones...".
Ruoxi seemed to have heard the implication of Zhou Ming's words, and then she stopped saying these words. Let some things take their own course!
Zhou Ming held a mung bean cake and said to Lao Qi who was standing aside: "Let's go and watch the show. I guess the old man is also anxious about the outcome. Since we are here, let's go and have a look!".
I originally wanted to take Ruo Xi with me, but everyone there was a minister in the court, and I was afraid that Ruo Xi would not be able to handle it when she went there. Of course, the main reason was that Kangxi was there.
At this time, the little eunuch who was counting votes at the military aircraft department kept shouting: "Eighth elder brother, fourth elder brother!".
"Eighth elder brother, fourth elder brother!".
"Eighth elder brother, fourth elder brother!".
Good guy, the people who originally supported the eighth prince were also stunned. They originally thought that those who remained neutral would abandon their votes in the end, but they never expected that all these people would surrender to the fourth prince in the end. This is really disappointing.
Think of it!
And now that we are all here, no one will back down. Of course, Si Age originally wanted to preserve his strength and did not want to get involved, but now it suddenly went beyond his plan.
Kangxi, who was hiding in the room, also had a blush on his face. He didn't know whether he was anxious or happy, but the old eunuch Liang Jiugong on the side knew that this was a sign that the old man was going to get angry.
But in the end, the eighth prince led the fourth prince by twenty votes.
At this time, Kangxi was surprised to find that the fifth child in the court didn't even get a single vote. This is really interesting!
At this moment, Zhou Ming came in with Lao Qi, and he smiled when he saw the civil and military officials from all over the dynasty here: "Oh, there are so many people, how about it? Let's decide who doesn't!"
.
Tong Guowei stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it's over. The eighth prince is already ahead of the fourth prince. I recommend the eighth prince to win this round!".
Zhou Ming nodded and then placed the water glass on Tong Guowei's face.
"Presumptuous, you are so brave. You don't even kneel down to pay your respects when you see me? Why do you think I can't lift the knife? Or do you think you died too quickly? And you guys
, why do you think you are going to become the prince? Don’t you need to stand up and salute when you see me? If you can’t remember the rules, I will teach you! As long as you two are not crowned princes for one day,
Then you will have to pay homage to this king in one day, and it will be against you!".
Tong Guowei is now considered a powerful figure. His uncle was actually humiliated like this. He was very angry inside, but in the end he still held back his words because he did not dare to gamble!
Zhou Ming is Prince Heng who has great military exploits. If Prince Heng is determined to kill him, then it goes without saying that Zhou Ming has two flags under his hands. It is impossible for him to escape.
But Tong Guowei was confused by Zhou Ming. He didn't know whether he was speaking on behalf of Kangxi or himself, but it seemed that no matter who he represented, Tong Guowei seemed to be untouchable.<
/p>
Tong Guowei also immediately gave up: "Please forgive me, Prince Heng. I am being rude, and I am paying homage to Prince Heng!".
And this time Zhou Ming also took it directly without evasion.
Finally Zhou Ming said: "The results of these things can only be seen by the emperor. Why do you want to join in the fun? Do you think my royal family has no one? Or do you think our emperor is old and fatuous?".
This sound shocked everyone again. After Zhou Ming stabilized the situation, he called out all the people on the side, including Lao Ba and Lao Si.
At this time, the emperor had also received the news. Prince Heng came forward to suppress the situation, making the officials below him feel intimidated. Kangxi also liked it very much. This was the effect he wanted, otherwise these people would still have a falling out today. Zhou Ming sat aside with his head lowered. Kangxi also walked out at the right time. Looking at the ghostly atmosphere in the study, he couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing here? Have you finished all your work?" p>
At this time, Tong Guowei could only take the things and go to Kangxi's side and hand over the list, and when he went up, he deliberately leaked the wound, but Kangxi seemed to be blind and did not even look at him in the end.
......
After Kangxi came over, he just lay aside and asked: "I heard that the results are out, please read it to me!".
Tong Guowei could only say again shamelessly: "The fourth master and the eighth master have the most votes in the court, and the eighth master has twenty votes ahead of the fourth master!".
When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help but asked: "Yes, yes, he is quite capable. The officials in the court seem to care about him! Okay, let's end it today!"
.
But at this time, Tong Guowei still asked shamelessly: "Long live Lord, what do you think of today's events?".
Kangxi nodded: "I forgot all about it. The rest of you, please go down. I will have a chat with Mr. Tong!".
After the others left, Kangxi said: "Tong Guowei, you have dedicated yourself to the imperial court and died. You have worked hard for most of your life and you can take a break now. I remember that you will retire in a few days. I still
I really miss you!".
Hearing this, Tong Guowei felt a chill in his heart. Did Kangxi say this on purpose or was it an unintentional mistake? But when he heard Kangxi speak, Tong Guowei naturally wanted to answer.
Tong Guowei said carefully at this time: "Your Majesty, I am only sixty-two now, so I can still continue to listen to the holy teachings!".
Kangxi couldn't help but confirm when he heard this: "As a human being, you have to learn to be satisfied. Look at me. If I hadn't said that I wanted to manage the government, I could retire now. The blessings I have achieved now would still be good.
It will be passed on to future generations, but if you don’t understand it, it will be a trouble. By the way, what did you just say? I remember that you will be sixty-five these days. Am I remembering it wrong?".<
/p>
Tong Guowei is also an old man. From his disbelief at the beginning, to his testing, to Kangxi's explanation, he finally understood one thing very clearly, that is, Kangxi wanted to retire early!
If he withdraws from Fuze's descendants, but if he does not, he will cause trouble for the emperor. Not to mention Fuze's descendants, it is even more likely that the entire Tong family will be destroyed...
Your Majesty, I made a mistake in remembering it. It’s time for me to retire...
