Chapter 465: Once you reach the top of your work as a worker, you can’t start a new business

At night, at the Wang family's residence in the capital, countless cars and horses filled the streets, but it did not affect travel at all, because this entire street belonged to the Wang family many years ago.

On the plaque of the Wang family's mansion, the golden word "王" shines brightly under the bright lights. With Xu Xin being granted the title of Prince of Wu'an County today, and being called a lonely Taoist and a widower, the palace has become worthy of its name.

Although Xu Xin said in front of hundreds of officials during the day that the emperor would take charge of the government, even if a man of his energy chose to retreat to the second line, it would not be possible overnight. Until the handover is completely completed, Xu Xin will still be the person with absolute power in the Ming Dynasty. .

Even because of his special status and influence, even if he was relegated to the second line, Xu Xin was still able to influence the Ming court in all aspects and became the de facto most powerful person.

So when Mr. Xu sent out the invitation, all the people who received the invitation came to the palace as soon as possible to wait for the teachings and arrangements of the Grand Master and Prince Wu'an. Their attitude towards him was still the same as before, and there was no such thing as people leaving for tea. Cool situation.

"Meet the Grand Master!"

The living room of the Wang family residence has been expanded and has become very large, which is enough to accommodate the civil and military officials attending the court meeting today. Of course, the number of people invited here tonight is not as many as during the court meeting today, but it still occupies a lot of space. Large portion.

Xu Xin was in power for more than seven years and completed most of the reform framework. He suppressed all Neo-Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism. Confucius in Shandong Province was also accused of crimes and had his title revoked. Now the world is dominated by his "Wang Xue" and he is the leader of scholars in Ming Dynasty. Tian, ​​whose surname is Wang, is the king of Wang Shouren.

All the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty had his people in the six ministries, departments, and courts. It can be said that he could form a new court at any time to support the operation of the Ming Empire.

These are the "family assets" he has accumulated through "working" over the years. Now that he has encountered a ceiling while working in Daming, he must go it alone and take his "family wealth" with him.

"Meet the Grand Master!"

Many important and capable ministers in the court saluted Xu Xin. Even though Xu Xin said that he was going to retire now, no one thought that he was really going to retire. After all, he was only in his early forties, and it was the time when the Spring and Autumn Period was at its peak. The prime of life.

"Everyone sit down first."

Xu Xin waved his hand, and everyone sat down and waited for Xu Xin to speak.

"Everyone has seen what happened during the day. Your Majesty wants to take charge. As a minister, I can't stand in the way too much. I can only give in."

After Xu Xin said this, there were scattered voices below, such as the Grand Master was considering the overall situation and the Emperor was aggressive. Obviously, most people felt that the Emperor had gone too far, and this was what Xu Xin wanted to hear. , he had to retreat for the sake of the overall situation.

Xu Xin is the absolute power in the true sense of the Ming Dynasty. The basis for him to complete the reform is to first seize the military power and the real military and political power. According to his current power and potential power, he just wants to take the risk and change the day, with a high probability. It can also be done.

But the consequence of doing this is that the Central Plains will be in chaos and war will continue. Even if he can finally get a complete country, it will be devastated and broken everywhere, and he will need to recuperate for countless years.

Therefore, even if he says he is withdrawing now, some people are still very nervous, fearing that if he feels uncomfortable again... he will start a rebellion.

"Everyone knows my age. Now that I have retired, what will you do in the future..."

Xu Xin's next words made everyone uneasy.

Is Xu Xin old? Forty-something years old is not considered old in future generations, and he is younger than most people present. However, because of the emperor's "fear", he was forced to give in now. If he, the boss, retreats, what will happen to these "party members"?

Choose a new boss?

This idea came to many people's minds, and they shook their heads immediately. There were civil and military officials present, including ministers in the capital and local officials. Many of them were big bosses in the Ming Dynasty. This group of people, except Xu If you believe in this grand master who can cover the sky with one hand, who else should you obey? As for taking refuge in the little emperor?

They were members of the imperial court, so there was no question of whether they would surrender to the emperor or not. Based on their qualifications, even if they really moved closer to the emperor, they would most likely only be used superficially, and it was unlikely that they would become confidants and then continue to be promoted.

Moreover, some of the people present are big bosses themselves. If such people are promoted and reused... another Grand Master Wang? Not everyone who sits in Xu Xin's position can calmly choose to relinquish power.

All the civil and military officials in the room remained silent. Everyone looked at Xu Xin. The meaning was very clear, that is, boss, you make arrangements, and we all listen to you.

Some people among them are secretly guessing that perhaps the grand master is unwilling to abdicate and is planning to continue to use them to control the court. However, some really smart people feel that things will not be so simple. If Xu Xin really wants to control the government, he will not do it today. What a great job.

"Your Majesty asked me to retreat. I retreated. You are all my old friends. I'm afraid it won't be good if you stay here... But if we establish a new country..."

"Being the first in the ancestral hall, opening the first page of the family tree, leaving his name in history, and being famous for generations to come..."

Xu Xinping's plain words made many civil and military officials breathe quickly. He was the first in the ancestral hall, and the first page of the family tree was opened. His name would remain in history and his reputation would last forever. If he really had such an opportunity, who would? Don’t want to!

It is easy to say that you just need to split up the family tree and establish another one in another place. But if you want to build an ancestral hall for the ancestor, and also want to leave a name in history and be famous for generations to come, then your achievements must not be low.

Xu Xin has now given him a chance to build the country again. Since all of you here are the founding heroes, then... it's not impossible.

It's just that for this matter, you must choose a good target, because everyone outside the Central Plains knows about Xu Xin's move to the vassal state. They know that most local small countries have poor environments and are far inferior to those in the Central Plains.

"I don't know, what did the Grand Master say?"

Among the courtiers, some people boldly asked questions.

"Japan!"

Xu Xin pointed to the map hanging on the wall next to him, where a boundary had been circled early.

Since he had long wanted to retreat, he naturally started to plan a retreat.

He removed the vassals of the Ming Dynasty from the grasslands, Annan and even Nanyang, but in the east, there was only one Renguo of Liaodong. That was his own son, and he was the most suitable to seize the territory of Jianguo, Dongying, and he planned to take it himself. .

Around the land of China, considering the population, culture and acceptance of the ministers, Japan is the most suitable. The modern small life is developing well. Regardless of the factors of the US military, it is the only powerful country in East Asia besides China.

As for India... about the caste system, it is a good choice for you to establish a vassal state and separate the colonies. It is wise to use that as your base camp.

"Japan is indeed a pretty good place, but the grain and mineral deposits there seem to be..."

Some officials were moved. The culture and environment of Japan were the most suitable for people from the Central Plains. There would be no problem living there. However, the place was too barren and the local resources were not abundant.

Xu Xin had already made a comprehensive plan for this. He would learn from the small lives of later generations, keep local resources intact, and start the Age of Discovery to plunder external resources for development. He could create a world where the sun never sets in the west, but there was no reason why it couldn't work in the east...
