Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Emperor Chongzhen had been thinking about the authority of Li Fan Yuan for a long time, but he never found a suitable opportunity to establish this complex institution.

Daming is messed up enough.

If you want to actively suppress the rebellion and build captives, you must actively open up new roads. The enemy of the enemy is the friend of Ming Dynasty, including the people of the European countries.

According to Emperor Chongzhen's conception, for Jianlu, Mongolia, and North Korea, they should actively try to win them over, cooperate with Ming Dynasty's own deployment, and add Li Zicheng who was placed in Liaodong to form a restraint on Jianlu's Eight Banners.

In addition to the Jianlu side, the chieftain group within the Ming Dynasty, the ethnic minorities on the northwest side, and the ethnic minorities on the plateau side will all be gradually brought under jurisdiction.

Although the Ming Dynasty had the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple and other administrative offices, which were in charge of external vassal affairs, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, this was too passive.

What time is it now?
Great voyage!

If Daming wants to get out of the predicament, he must actively open the sea.

This involves the countries of Europa.

Chen Yansheng ruled Tianjin Zhili Prefecture, and opened the sea. As time goes by, the number of Europeans who gather in Tianjin will inevitably increase sharply.

Calling the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and other officials to negotiate with the European countries is purely asking for boredom.

Therefore, the importance of Li Fan Yuan was highlighted.

Perhaps the current situation at this stage is not enough to make these ideas come true, but let's take it step by step, first let the Lifan Academy be erected, and then grasp a certain amount of real power.

First of all, by monitoring the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, to stabilize the foothold, the follow-up situation will open up, and it is enough to gradually increase the authority. The Ming Dynasty must be open.

"My lord, what is your majesty's summoning me?" Zhang Zhiji frowned slightly, and followed closely behind Wang Chengen, inquiring.

Wang Chengen's mouth was very strict, he slowed down a bit, and said to Zhang Zhiji: "My lord, you will know everything when you see the emperor."

But the more Wang Chengen was like this, the more uncertain Zhang Zhiji was.

Previously, Emperor Chongzhen killed a group of relatives, and all the relatives in Beijing were a little bit jealous, for fear that the emperor's butcher's knife would cut them on their heads.

Daming Xunqi, rest with the country, kill if you say kill.

Of course, the crimes committed by the relatives of Tang Guozuo are all capital crimes of punishing the nine clans, but the relatives in Beijing will inevitably think of other things.

"Chen... Zhang Zhiji, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me."

Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, pretending to be tired, and rubbed his temples. After Zhang Zhiji saw this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Son of Heaven, what's the matter?
Zhang Zhiji thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

"Alas... the country is unfortunate." Emperor Chongzhen sighed softly, and said, "Wang Banban, let the British Duke take a look at the secret performance."

"Here!"

Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed in response.

Zhang Zhiji, who didn't know why, had doubts on his brows. He didn't know what the emperor meant when he said these words, and what happened?

Something to do with the British government?
still with...

"The lineage of the Duke of England is still trustworthy. Zhang Zhi is not very capable, but he can ask me to do a lot of things in the name of the Duke of England. '

Looking at Zhang Zhiji in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought to himself: "The Lifan Academy is very important, so the officials to be added here cannot be the civil officials of the court.

After the Disaster Relief Office has cultivated a group of good talents through disaster relief, it is necessary to select suitable talents and gradually add them to the Li Fan Yuan, which means that the authority of the Li Fan Yuan will gradually increase.

The group of scholars and students owned by Daming is so huge. Even if it can be tempered to half, the base number is here, and the scale is not small.

But before that, it is also called the Daming Xunqi Group, which has become branched, and cannot be suppressed by the civil servant group.

Zhang Zhiji, you can't wear filial piety at home, Zhang Weixian, don't blame me for being like this, it's actually a bunch of dukes in the capital, the British dukes are reliable.

With high gold content, it can serve as the facade of the Lifan Academy, and it can also stabilize the hearts of the relatives. It is called a useful relative, who dares to stand up and do things, and is a proper tool man. '

Zhang Zhiji looked suspicious, looking at the chorus in his hand, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

The Qin Fan, Jin Fan, and Dai Fan are so talented!

This clearly wants to help Jianlu and overthrow Daming.

"British Lord, I have decided to set up the Li Fan Yuan to monitor the vassals of the Ming Dynasty and the Huangming ethnic group, and transfer the affairs of the clan and the family to the Li Fan Yuan."

Emperor Chongzhen leaned forward and said, "I think you are the only one who is the most suitable for the Minister of the Lifan Academy.

I have already drawn up the central purpose to allow Zhang Qing to wear filial piety in office, first set up the shelf of the Li Fan Yuan, and put the matters related to Zonglu's power and authority into the Li Fan Yuan.

Then Zhang Qing went to Taiyuan Mansion to pursue accountability according to the secret report submitted by Zhou Yuji. "

Zhang Zhiji: "..."

Your Majesty, this is the order of your minister.

Although Zhang Zhiji doesn't have much ability, he is not a fool. If he really did this, the Minister of Lifan Academy, wouldn't he offend everyone?
civil servant.

suzerain vassal.

"minister……"

Zhang Zhiji was terrified in his heart, he hurriedly bowed and said, wanting to decline the matter, this task is too hot, he can't take it no matter what.

"Sure enough, I know that the Duke of England is the one who can best share my worries."

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen stood up and walked slowly towards Zhang Zhiji, "The British lineage is the pillar of the country, and the family is full of heroes!

Uncle Zhongyong (Zhang Shize), shared my worries in the Shenji Camp, and the Duke of England shared my worries. No matter how unfortunate the country is, I still believe that we will be able to overcome the crisis.

In this Lifan Academy, the British Duke can choose a few people from among the honored relatives in Beijing, and go to the post with you. After drafting the memorial, submit it to the imperial court, and I will be approved by the supervisor of ceremonies! "

Zhang Zhiji: "..."

Seeing Zhang Zhiji's astonished and dumbfounded expression, Emperor Chongzhen suppressed a smile, and it was impossible to refuse the matter, even if it was a fight, he would put you on it.

Don't be so timid about the courage of the group of relatives.

If you should fight for civil officials, you should fight boldly.

Isn't power all about fighting?

"However, regarding the matter of the Lifan Academy, the Chinese officials of this court will definitely not give up. '

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, and his expression turned cold: "According to their virtues, they will definitely make up for it from other aspects. If they don't add to the troubles of the Ming Dynasty, they will not be a group of civil servants."

But it's okay, at this time, the secret decree sent to Zhou Yuji is already on the way to Shaanxi, and the vassal forces in Guanzhong are waiting to be completely looted.

Use the family wealth accumulated by these Shushus over the years to expand the Yongwei Battalion. I believe that the designated [-] elite soldiers will be realized in the shortest time, which will play a positive role in the follow-up counter-rebellion. '
