With a slight sound, Zhu Hehao dropped the two memorials on the table in front of him.
Of these two memorials, one is the resignation letter of Wei Zhongcheng, the leader of the United States Council; the other is the resignation letter of Zheng Xi, the chief minister of the United States Cabinet.
The power struggle caused by King Zhu Hehao's entry into the country has now been completely separated by Shimazu Noyoshi's surrender. As losers in this power struggle, Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi, of course, had no choice but to flee with their tails between their legs.
How else could it be done?
First of all, the local tyrant king has won the hearts of the people to his side through the "marriage test" - for those who are not financially strong enough, whoever can help them solve major marriage issues is equivalent to their biological father!
These are gun-toting bachelors!
Secondly, the King of the United States directed the hearts and minds of the people to the battlefield! With the flames of war, the authority of the King of United States will definitely increase...and the person he picked is a soft persimmon, and it is impossible to defeat him.
When the war is won, the King of the United States may be able to turn the United States into a kingdom!
Third, the King of Hezhu didn't know what method he used to win over the "Queen of Kaqing" Shimazu Noyoshi. With the support of this "Queen Jiaqing", no one can stop the King of United States from continuously strengthening his royal power on the territory of the Celestial Empire on the west coast of the North Xinzhou Continent.
At this time, the only thing that Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi, the two political opponents of the United King, could hope to do was escape intact...
Zhu Hehao looked at the two uneasy leaders of the United States in front of him and suddenly laughed: "The two of you are not allowed to resign, so you should stay in your original posts!"
Keep your job? Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi both felt their hearts pounding. Are they going to hang them up and continue to criticize them?
"Your Majesty," Wei Zhongcheng said with a sad face, "my father sent me a letter a few days ago saying that he is old and frail, and wants to ask me to go back to bed and pay filial piety. I want to be a filial son, and I can no longer be a loyal minister of your Majesty. I also ask your Majesty to forgive me for not being loyal. .”
What a filial son!
Zhu Hehao smiled bitterly and nodded. He was also a filial son, so how could he block others from being filial?
"Since the prime minister is filial, the lonely king will not retain him." Zhu Hehao said, "The United States of Xinzhou is in today's situation, and the prime minister is indispensable. The lonely king originally wanted to govern the new continent together with the prime minister. Earth... It's better to do this. Gu Huihui wrote to his father and recommended him to become an official in the Ming Dynasty. With his talents, it would be a matter of time for him to join the cabinet.
In addition, let the prime minister's son take over the position of the prime minister. "
Zhu Hehao has given Wei a level of loyalty and taken care of the interests of the Wei family - this shows that the local tycoon still sees the nature of the United States very clearly!
After all, the United States is a country that can only be made possible by the combined efforts of all people and families! This fundamental will not change just because Zhu Hehao drives Wei Zhongcheng away.
In fact, Zhu Hehao's expulsion of Wei Zhongcheng did not break the rules of the United States, because he was the largest shareholder of the United States! He holds 30% of the shares and is the largest shareholder. What is wrong with controlling the Uijeongbu government?
But Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi were wrong to try to sideline Zhu Hehao.
However, Zhu Hehao could drive Wei Zhongcheng away, but he could not deprive the Wei family of 1%, let alone kill Wei Zhongcheng's predecessor in political affairs. Otherwise, other "shareholders" of the United States will come out to oppose Zhu Hehao. Even if Zhu Hehao can suppress them all, the United States will be defeated by generals.
Wei Zhongcheng breathed out, knowing that the rich king was still abiding by the rules, so he quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to thank him.
"Your Majesty, I am also a filial son!" Zheng Xi also learned very quickly, "My father is also old and frail, so I will wait for you to serve me when I return..."
"Uncle," Zhu Hehao interrupted Zheng Xi and said with a smile, "Stop pretending to be a filial son. Who doesn't know that you always make my grandpa angry? If you go back to be a filial piety, his old man will have to live a few years shorter." ! And my grandpa has so many children and grandchildren, not least of which is you... I think you should stay in Xinzhou."
Letting Wei Zhongcheng go while keeping Zheng Xi was of course a decision made by the wealthy king after careful consideration.
Firstly, it is because Wei Zhongcheng’s methods are more powerful than Zheng Xi’s. The Wei family only has 1% of the voting rights in the parliamentary government election of the United States of New Zealand, but Wei Zhongcheng can firmly hold the position of leader of the parliament, and can surpass those who have 15 % of the voting rights, this already illustrates the problem.
Secondly, Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi were both sent by Zhu Cixiang, so they couldn't be driven away... Since one of them had to be kept, of course it was Zheng Xi who was easier to deal with.
Thirdly, Zheng Xi and his brothers hold 15% of the voting rights of the United States Congress! 15% and 1% have different meanings. Zhu Hehao can firmly suppress the 1% of the Wei family, but he must cooperate with the 15% of the Zheng family. And after driving away Zheng Xi, there is a certain chance of welcoming Zheng Jiangong! Isn't that asking for trouble?
So it’s better to support Zheng Xi!
After hearing Zhu Hehao's words, Zheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He is no more loyal than Wei, who had already joined the Ming Dynasty before coming to Xinzhou. And he was just a scumbag at school...and Wei Zaode didn't have many sons, so he could always make arrangements for Wei Zhongcheng. Zheng Xi's father, Zheng Zhilong, is different. Zheng Zhilong has too many sons, and Zheng Xi is not favored. Will he be forced to sit on the bench for the rest of his life when he returns?
Zhu Hehao smiled and said: "Uncle, you should continue to be the chief minister of the cabinet... There will be a big battle to fight next, so we must maintain the stability of the parliamentary government and the cabinet office. As for the post of leader of the cabinet, Wei Prime Minister, who do you think would be better?"
Wei Zhongcheng waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I have been upset since I received the letter from my father. I am not interested in government affairs. I don't know who can be the leader to discuss politics."
Zhu Hehao thought for a while and then said: "Today's situation is different from the past... It is a time of great struggle, not a time of great struggle for our country, China, but a great struggle of all countries in the world." The United States seems to be in a corner, but it is actually at the center of a world of great conflict!
Therefore, those who hold the position of leader of the United States should not only be familiar with government affairs, but also be proficient in diplomacy and military affairs. It is best to understand the strategy of the Ming Dynasty in this great dispute.
Therefore, it is best for the new leader to be recommended by his father... Wei Lingxiang, uncle, what do you think? "
How brilliant!
Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi immediately understood what Zhu Hehao meant - the local tycoon still had to hold on to Emperor Zhu's lap, and asking Emperor Zhu to appoint a leader to discuss affairs was to show loyalty and filial piety...
However, Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi still didn't quite understand what Zhu Hehao meant by the "era of great strife". The warring states were a time of great strife. Today's Ming Dynasty is clearly a time of peace and prosperity, so why is there so much strife?
"Your Majesty," Wei Zhongcheng had to go back and talk to Emperor Zhu, so he had to ask clearly and not to talk nonsense, "What are you talking about in the era of great strife? Who is fighting with whom?"
After hearing this, Zhu Hehao laughed secretly in his heart and said: Although Wei Zhongcheng is a rare capable official, he is really not suitable to control the United States of New Zealand and compete with New France, New Spain and New England for hegemony!
"Prime Minister," he looked at Wei Zhongcheng and held out three fingers, "In this world of great strife, there are three things we are fighting for. The first is the Xinzhou Continent where we are! There are few people here, vast land, and rich resources. It is truly the world's largest continent. Blessed land. If the Heavenly Dynasty obtains it, the Heavenly Dynasty will rule the world! If the Westerners obtain it, the Westerners will rule the world.
In recent years, not only our United States of New Zealand has developed rapidly, but the Westerners' New Spain and New England have also developed rapidly... There are already millions of people in New Spain who believe in Christianity! The population of New England also reached hundreds of thousands. Although there are few people in New France, they are good at winning over Indians for their own use, which should not be underestimated.
Why is this king so eager to march eastward into the mountains? Isn’t it to lock the French and English from advancing westward? As long as the stone mountain is in our hands, the United States of New Zealand will not collapse. As long as the United States of New Zealand is here, we can remain invincible in this world of great war, or at least maintain the situation of great war! "
