Daming: My brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 439 Apocalypse leaves the customs, I want to invite Uncle Zhang Guo in person!

Seeing that Wen Tiren and other civil servants were willing to crown Zhang Gui king, Zhou Yuji finally felt a lot happier.

To be honest, the military commanders like him were quite dissatisfied with Zhang Gui's reluctance to return to Beijing.

But because Zhang Gui took the initiative to ask for the title of king, it made him, the officials and generals who followed Zhang Gui to pacify the slaves, feel that if Zhang Gui was crowned king, people like themselves should also be more thoughtful about rewarding him.

Therefore, the officials and generals like Zhou Yuji didn't care so much about Zhang Gui's reluctance to return to Beijing, but cared more about whether Zhang Gui could be crowned king.

Even Zhou Yuji and other officials and generals felt that Uncle Zhang Gui refused to return to the capital because he was probably trying to force the emperor to crown him king.

Thinking about it this way, the officials like Zhou Yuji didn't complain much about Zhang Gui's refusal to return to the capital, and even hoped that Zhang Gui would really be crowned king.

But now the civil servants agree to crown Zhang Gui as the king, which basically means that the matter of becoming the king is a certainty.

Because Daming made it clear that the final interpretation of whether he can be crowned king with a different surname is still in the hands of the civil servants.

After all, in essence, a king with a different surname, as long as it is not a frontier king with a large border, but a vassal king with a city like Lushun as a vassal territory, there is no great threat to the empire.

Therefore, although the emperor has a veto power, there is no need to violate the unanimous decision of the civil officials.

Of course, the emperor can also ignore the civil servants and directly confer a different surname as king.

But in this case, civil servants may not be willing, and will interpret this as breaking the law, violating national security, and so on.

Now that the civil servants are willing to confer king on Zhang Gui, it will naturally make it easier to confer king.

And the reason why the civil officials and bureaucrats of Ming Dynasty finally compromised is that there is no way, they really can't do without Zhang Gui now!

Whether it is from justice or self-interest, they are now like a group of giant babies, and they need Zhang Gui, the uncle of the country, to give them directions and tell them how to govern this new economic model that has already emerged from the steam industry and capital plundering. Ming Empire.

After all, Confucianism only taught them how to govern the people internally, and did not teach them how to make the internal pie bigger externally.

Of course, they also had the same thoughts as Zhou Yuji, knowing that if Zhang Gui was crowned king, their own rewards would also increase accordingly.

It's just that being king alone is not enough.

For bureaucrats.

They also need Zhang Gui to come back and preside over the government.

As mentioned earlier, these bureaucrats who grew up in Confucian civilization were not yet familiar with how to rule a Ming Empire that Zhang Gui pushed to modernization and advocated nationalism.

They need Zhang Guojiu to guide them.

What's more, it's not yet the time when Zhang Gui needs to be punished and killed because of his great achievements.

After all, even according to the history of Wei Zhongxian, the most powerful person who appeared in the Tianqi Dynasty in history, Zhang Gui has just been sought after by the bureaucratic group, and the Shengci Temple has just been built on a large scale.

In other words, the bureaucracy hasn't squeezed all the value out of Zhang Gui yet, so who would be willing to let Zhang Gui withdraw at this time and prevent them from squeezing all the value out of him?
Therefore, Bi Ziyan said first at this time: "It doesn't matter if you become the king, as long as you don't give him the whole Liaodong to Uncle Zhang Guo, it's nothing. The most important thing now is how to get Uncle Guo to come back to preside over the government. , to share the worries of your father! His Majesty trusts him the most, and the people of the world need him the most, and we cannot allow him to really retreat from now on and make the world uneasy."

"This matter needs to be decided by His Majesty! Whether it is whether to proclaim the uncle of the country as king, or how to make the uncle of the country return to court, it needs to be decided by His Majesty! After all, the ruler of the world is still Your Majesty! If Your Majesty does not If you are willing, you can manage the government yourself and go out of the palace to watch the court! In this way, the uncle of the country can rest assured to be raised in a remote and secluded place, and it can be raised for 20 or 30 years! Anyway, according to the rules, the relatives of the dynasty should be idle. of."

Wen Tiren said at this time.

All bureaucrats agree.

The development of the matter to the present stage was fundamentally caused by the Emperor Tianqi himself.

After all, if it wasn't for Tianqi's ignorance of government affairs and only trusting Zhang Gui, everyone wouldn't be flustered because Uncle Zhang Guo didn't return the court.

If Tianqi is willing to stand up and assume the responsibility of a decision maker at this time, the bureaucrats will naturally not be at a loss because Zhang Gui does not return to the court.

After all, no matter whether Daming's next path is the right path or the wrong path, there must be someone who decides which way to go.

Therefore, after Wen Tiren said this, the bureaucrats all went to the memorial to ask for an audience with the apocalypse.

"Why can't you members of the Planning Department discuss and settle it, and then ask Zhang Qing to report to me? You must come to disturb me again! You old slave, you must come to disturb my peace!"

After Tian Qi was disturbed by Wei Zhongxian again, he blamed Wei Zhongxian quite angrily.

Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to report truthfully: "The emperor calms down. It's not that the slaves don't know that you are busy seeking the benefits of real learning for all people in the world! But, although you have an order first, the Secretary of Policy and Policy will discuss it before the uncle of the country will report it. But the problem now is that Uncle Guo has not yet returned to Beijing, so many political affairs have been delayed, especially the settlement of the enslavement rewards and the distribution of dividends from the Hanhai Coal Mine. These two matters have been pending, and people are already panicking. Regarding the matter of the uncle of the country being crowned king, although the ministers have already believed that the title of the king for the meritorious service of the uncle of the country is indeed worthy of the name, and they should be entrusted to encourage future generations! But it still has to be decided by the emperor himself .”

"The ministers are really willing to let Zhang Gui become the king?"

Apocalypse asked.

Wei Zhongxian nodded: "All the memorials for the decree are here."

After hearing this, Tian Qi smiled instead of anger: "They are really smart."

After speaking, Tian Qi asked again: "Where is Uncle Zhang Guo now?"

Wei Zhongxian replied, "It's on Jianghua Island."

Tianqi nodded: "I think Jianghua Island is not very bad. I also want to go and see it. I have a decree. I want to go on a tour to the east and go to Saarhu to comfort the soldiers who died for the cause of Ming's counter-insurgency in the past! Those who died in defeat or in today's victories should be remembered! Those who shed their blood for Emperor Ming will be immortal!"

Wei Zhongxian didn't expect that Tianqi would go on a tour to the east, so he couldn't help asking: "Is the emperor going to Jianghua Island to see the uncle of the country?"

"What, the subjects of the world don't want me to invite Zhang Qing back? Is it possible that they really think that if I leave the laboratory and go to the imperial gate to listen to the government in person, I can really make the Ming Dynasty prosperous forever? Han Changli has something to say. There is specialization, I am best at being an emperor, and my favorite is doing research and development of skills, the former let me know who I should use, and the latter let me know how I should live to be interesting!"

"He, Zhang Gui, can act rashly and not follow the world as an official; why can't I act rashly and not follow the world as an official?"

"But it's just that the world belongs to me in the final analysis. And Zhang Gui is also responsible for making the world come to this point. Although the main reason lies with me, it is because I disregarded the opposition of the civil servants and went against the dictatorship of the relatives who the civil servants were wary of. , using a relative, but from the Ming Dynasty to the present, all of this was indeed designed by him, Zhang Gui, so he can't just walk away like this; "

"And I also need to talk to him, talk about how he has made my world what it is now, and if he doesn't cultivate my prince and officials in the world, how can he have the nerve to let him go? From then on, he will ignore it! And Do you really want Daming to go back to the previous world where only Confucianism was respected, the forbidden sea was closed, and the Han people were regarded as cattle and horses, and the countrymen were not mentioned, but only the monarchs and ministers?"

After Tianqi said a lot, he said to Wei Zhongxian: "Go! I already knew that there would be such a day, so I have already suspended all the experiments that should be suspended!"

"Yes!"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly responded.
