I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 165 The Ultimate Question

Faced with this situation, Qiu Zhaojin only smiled bitterly in his heart.

Before he came, he had guessed the difficulty of this trip.

But there is no way, Zhu Yihai's task, he can only bite the bullet and complete it.

Unsurprisingly, the ministers on the Nanjing side were not happy.

But in fact, this is not important. Qiu Zhaojin knows that Nanjing is now under the strong control of Wu Changqing, and it is Wu Changqing's one-word hall.

As long as Wu Changqing supports Zhu Yihai's return, the opposition of these ministers will have no effect.

The key is Wu Changqing's attitude.

"Master Guo, I have talked with Shoufu Fang Fengnian, Zhang Guowei and other adults before I came here, and they appreciate many of your new policies, Master Guo.

After the cabinet is merged, they must fully support your new policy, only the prince of the country will follow suit. "

Qiu Zhaojin promised.

"These are all trivial matters. I just want to know, if Lu Jianguo returns to Nanjing, will Emperor Longwu abdicate and swear allegiance? If he is willing to abdicate and pledge allegiance, unite and gather all the forces of the south to fight against the Qing, I naturally welcome Lu Jianguo. returned.

But what if Emperor Longwu refuses to abdicate, do we want to go south and provoke infighting? But if we don't go south to conquer, how can our army be assured of handing over the rear to Emperor Longwu for the northern expedition? "

Wu Changqing brought out the big killer, the orthodox battle.

As soon as these words came out, Qian Taoli and several other ministers became even more excited, and they all agreed to ask Qiu Zhaojin how to deal with Emperor Longwu's problem.

Qiu Zhaojin, who asked these questions, wanted to die, it was too difficult to answer.

Will Emperor Longwu abdicate?

Don't even think about it, it's definitely not possible.

Emperor Longwu's territory was dozens of times larger than that of Zhu Yihai, not to mention that Zhu Yujian was only a distant relative of Zhu Yihai, even if Zhu Yujian was Zhu Yihai's own son, there was no discussion about it.

This is the throne, the highest status a man can achieve, a position that countless people dream of.

For the sake of the throne, how many brothers and sisters have killed each other, father and son turned against each other.

The old Zhu family even had this tradition. Zhu Di seized the throne of his nephew, and King Ning also rebelled.

The most ruthless imperial family, the blood relatives between them have no fetters in the face of supreme power.

Zhu Yujian is already the emperor, how could he give up all this.

Even if Zhu Yujian had been subjugated by Zhu Yihai and was willing to abdicate and let his virtuous people, the officials under Zhu Yujian would not agree.

They are now in various high-ranking officials under Zhu Yujian, but as long as Zhu Yujian abdicates, their official positions will definitely be lowered by one or two grades.

Who will agree to this, no one will agree.

To put it bluntly, everything is still a matter of distribution of power. There are only so many places, everyone wants to sit, and no one is willing to give up.

Nanming's current problem is that there are too many regimes, too many ministers, too few troops, and too little money.

"This, as long as Lu Jianguo stays in the Forbidden City, it is orthodox. At that time, King Tang will not agree to do so. The whole world will be loyal to Lu Jianguo, and King Tang will only become a loner, which is nothing to worry about."

Qiu Zhaojin said.

"Master Qiu, you can comfort yourself with these words. It won't work for us."

Ruan Dacheng sneered.

"I think it's best for Lu Jianguo and Emperor Longwu to reach a consensus on this issue, so that there won't be so much trouble."

Wu Changqing left this issue to Zhu Yihai, and asked their Zhu family to fight infighting.

If Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yujian go to war because of this, then Wu Changqing should be snickering.

At that time, when the ministers and people in the world look at the faces of their Zhu family, I am afraid they will be chilled.

The first move to the capital council did not yield results.

When Qiu Zhaojin returned to his residence, he only felt tired for a while.

He could see that many ministers, such as Wu Changqing and Ruan Dacheng, did not seem to want Zhu Yihai to return to Nanjing, which was really bad news.

Now, what Qiu Zhaojin is more worried about is that Wu Changqing has evil intentions.

If those cabinet ministers were just worried about their position, the Shaoxing side could actually make some more concessions. Anyway, coming to Japan for a long time, I will go back to Nanjing first. In the future, there will be some means to fight for power and profit.

But if Wu Changqing has bad intentions, it will be troublesome. At that time, even if Wu Changqing was willing to let Zhu Yihai return to Nanjing, Zhu Yihai would not dare, and he would risk his life if he returned to Nanjing.

Not only Qiu Zhaojin was tired, but Gu Yanwu was also tired.

He didn't say much the whole time just now, because he was probably the only one in Wu Changqing's men who hoped that Zhu Yihai or Zhu Yujian would be able to live in Nanjing.

He still had the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor in his mind, hoping to help the people of the Zhu family to revive the Ming Dynasty.

He doesn't mind Wu Changqing being a complete and thorough power minister, as long as Wu Changqing can retain the title of Zhu Family Royal Family.

However, in the meeting just now, everyone was unhappy even when the emperor returned, which is clearly a conspiracy.

This made him a little disheartened and disappointed with Daming again.

Throughout the process of Daming's fall, it was almost always accompanied by infighting and never stopped.

After discovering Wu Changqing's ambitions, he was also a little disappointed in Wu Changqing.

Originally, he actually respected Wu Changqing very much, because Wu Changqing was indeed very capable. Moreover, Wu Changqing is really good to the people.

Other powerful ministers and generals, once in power, will find ways to loot the people, increasing the

Taxes to feed the army.

Only Wu Changqing has never raised taxes on the common people since he started the army.

This is equivalent to paying out of his own pocket. After all, if the money does not support the army, it can all fall into Wu Changqing's pocket.

It would be nice if General Wu's surname was Zhu.

An idea suddenly popped into Gu Yanwu's mind. He felt that if Wu Changqing was a descendant of the Zhu family, he would definitely be a good emperor and a wise ruler.

It is a pity that Wu Changqing is not surnamed Zhu.

"Master Gu, this is a new-style carriage prepared by the Grandpa for you. It is much more comfortable than sitting in a sedan chair."

Gu Yanwu, who was about to board a sedan chair to return to the house, was suddenly stopped. A small official from the Ministry of Industry was leading a horse, and behind the horse was pulling a two-wheeled cart.

The two-wheeled vehicle has no carport, but the seats are very beautiful, and there are silk cushions on the seats. The workmanship of the whole carriage is also very meticulous, giving people a pleasing feeling.

Gu Yanwu knew that this was a high-end carriage jointly built by Tong Youwei, the military, and the Ministry of Industry.

Gu Yanwu was used to the new things that popped up from time to time in their regime, so he wasn't particularly surprised.

Hearing that Wu Changqing specially prepared it for him, Gu Yanwu was quite moved.

He used to be just a somewhat famous scholar, and it was all because of Wu Changqing's appreciation that he was now able to rise to a high position, and he was not far from the position and his ministers.

And now, whenever there is something good, Wu Changqing can still think of him.

Speaking of which, Gu Yanwu couldn't bear this gift.

It is precisely because of this that even after he discovered Wu Changqing's ambitions, he still did not defect, and he was really ashamed.

Gu Yanwu got into the car, and the groom drove the horses and walked towards the Gu residence.

After walking for several dozen meters, Gu Yanwu didn't feel any bumps and was very comfortable.

What a good thing.

Gu Yanwu sighed in his heart.

If General Wu can continue to benefit the common people, it would be very good. What's the difference between the surname Zhu and Wu in this world, isn't it all Han people?

In this world, the surname is not Zhu from the beginning.

A thought suddenly appeared in Gu Yanwu's heart, and before he knew it, his faith had begun to shake.
