Zhuge Weidao, who had been jointly served by Natalie and Nalandili all night, was riding his "Red Rabbit Car" ricketyly to work at the Naval Aviation Admiral's Yamen on the outskirts of Beijing the next day. I didn't sleep well, and the car was too rocking, so I actually fell asleep in the car.
Only when he felt the "Red Rabbit Car" rush forward suddenly and then stop, did he recover from his confused state. At this moment, the car door was opened by someone unknown, and a gust of cold wind blew in, making him wake up immediately.
Zhuge Weidao thought he had arrived at his admiral's office - this was his first day at work as the head of Hainan Airlines, so he had to be in high spirits. So he adjusted his clothes, got out of the "Red Rabbit Car", looked around, and was immediately stunned.
This is not HNA Admiral Yamen!
These red walls and yellow tiles can only be used in imperial palaces and princes' palaces...
"Yu Ziqi!" Zhuge Weidao called out the name of his secretary and driver. "Admiral!"
A nephew of Yu De's family, who looked very similar to Guo Xiaobao, even though he was a bit paler, a young soldier also got out of the car and saluted when he came to Zhuge Weidao.
"Where did you drive the car?" Zhuge Weidao asked loudly.
"We're driving to Xishan Palace!" A slightly familiar voice suddenly came from behind Zhuge Weidao.
"I didn't ask you!" Zhuge Weidao shouted.
But the voice chuckled and said: "Our family asked Yu Yu to drive the car to Xishan Palace!"
Our family?
Zhuge Weidao looked back and saw a black father-in-law named Black Whirlwind, who was Empress Dowager Zheng's confidant.
"Eunuch Black?" Zhuge Weidao understood immediately, "The Queen Mother..."
Black Whirlwind quickly waved his hand, then flicked the fly whisk, "Follow me!"
Zhuge Weidao had no choice but to turn around and say to Zi Qi: "Wait here, I'll come as soon as I go... Also, no one can tell me about my visit to Xishan Palace today!"
Yu Ziqi nodded repeatedly, with a very reliable look on his face: "I know, I know!"
Seeing that his confidant was very reliable, Zhuge Weidao followed Black Eunuch into the hall in front of him with confidence. Well, I still feel a little uneasy in my heart! He used a lot of force last night...but when he walked into the main hall, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because coming to Xishan Palace today is not about manual labor... Zheng Guoxian and Mu Zhongjun from the Prince of Guizhou's family are also there - he is the brother-in-law of Queen Mother Zheng and has a close relationship with the siblings of the Zheng family.
In addition, Mu Zhongjun's ancestor is Mu Tianbo, the only high-ranking nobleman of the Ming Dynasty among the "Eight Loyal Kings"! Therefore, this Mu family has been loyal to the Zhu Ming Dynasty for generations, starting from Mu Tianbo. It is almost an alternative among the eight families.
Zheng Guoxian and Mu Zhongjun were talking to Empress Dowager Zheng Zheng Yuhuan. When they saw Zhuge Weidao coming in with Black Whirlwind, they all stood up and clasped their fists to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Shenshan, Brother Junen (Mu Zhongjun's nickname), you two have been promoted in recent days!" Zhuge Weidao also smiled and hugged the two men.
A few days ago, Zheng Guoxian manipulated the "Tou Ming" of the Kingdom of Hawaii - this was a great achievement in opening up territory! Moreover, the advantage of Hawaii is that the Zhuge family has a big advantage, and he himself is an "official" of the Zheng family. He has also been favored by Empress Dowager Zheng and Mu Zhongjun. Of course, his official position has been very high, and now he has also held the title of Army Major General. .
As for Mu Zhongjun, he followed Zhuge Weidao to the Persian Gulf. He left office and returned to China half a month earlier than Zhuge Weidao. As soon as he returned home, he was promoted to lieutenant general, and seemed to have also been given the title of deputy chief of staff.
Empress Dowager Zheng chuckled and said, "My dear fellow, please sit down quickly and come closer. Sister, I haven't seen you for a while. It's strange."
Zhuge Weidao had no choice but to walk to the chair closest to Empress Dowager Zheng and sit down. Then he also looked at his good sister - Empress Dowager Zheng looked older... not as radiant as when they first met her. However, she has a bit more charm of a mature woman, and she is quite a good woman.
"Disciple Tao," Queen Mother Zheng looked at it for a while and then began to ask, "Is there going to be a world war?"
"This..." Zhuge Weidao thought for a while and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Sister Yuhuan, why did you ask about this?"
Empress Dowager Zheng glanced at Zhuge Weidao and said with a smile: "Taozi, in your opinion, once a war breaks out, what should the emperor do? What should the princes of the Zhu family do? The Yi family heard that the Rakshasa Kingdom The Emperor, the Emperor of France, and the Emperor of Austria, were both at the same time on a personal expedition, fighting the Battle of the Three Emperors at the Battle of Austerlitz in Bohemia... You see, our Emperor is Isn’t it possible to have a personal conquest?”
A personal expedition? Zhu Xijin, the emperor who is so transparent, also wants to lead a military expedition in person?
Zhuge Weidao looked at Empress Dowager Zheng and frowned: "Sister Yuhuan, our Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions... The emperor still sits in the palace, and foreign affairs are dealt with by ministers."
"But Empress Jing wants to conquer in person!" Zheng Yuhuan said with a smile, "All the female emperors in Japan have marched in person. Our emperor of Ming Dynasty is a handsome man. Is it inappropriate to still sit in the palace?"
What?
Emperor Shizuko wants to conquer in person again? Zhuge Wei Daoxin said: "Last time, she personally conquered two streets - from the imperial palace to Nijiao. This time she wants to conquer personally... out of Kyoto?"
"Young disciple of the Tao," Mu Zhongjun said to Zhuge with a smile as he saw Zhuge as a Taoist and said, "I heard that the Indian Emperor William has the rank of marshal of the British Navy. Will he lead the expedition himself?"
Zheng Yuhuan also asked: "Disciple Taoist, if Emperor William goes on a personal expedition, should I follow suit? The Ming Emperor cannot lose face to an Indian emperor, right?"
It's really hard to say.
Emperor William of India was really a military emperor. He joined the Royal Navy as an officer candidate when he was 13 years old. Later he actually served on a battleship and participated in the American Revolutionary War...Of course he stood on The British side participated. Washington also planned to kidnap Emperor William. I wonder if he wanted to help him become the emperor of the United States and Washington himself become the prime minister of China?
However, this failed, and Emperor William was later promoted to naval captain and became Nelson's subordinate. Under Nelson's training, William also became a rear admiral and captain of the battleship HMS Courageous. Later, because he wanted to become a senator, he quit the navy and was unable to participate in the subsequent anti-French war. But he is still a real naval officer!
Therefore, there is also the possibility that Emperor William will march on his own behalf...especially after hearing that Emperor Shizuko will march on his own!
An empress has her own conquests, how can he, a navy emperor, not do the conquests himself?
And the Indian emperor personally went on a military expedition, how could the Ming emperor not follow suit?
So...Emperor Shizuko is the bait for fishing, responsible for fishing out Emperor William, and Emperor William can fish out little Emperor Zhu Xijin!
And once Zhu Xijin has personally conquered the country, his prestige will be greatly increased. Not to mention restoring the emperor's authority, at least he can get a more decent l-xian emperor, and he won't be almost invisible like he is now.
Zhuge Weidao thought about it for a while and already understood that this matter was probably caused by Zheng Yuhuan. This woman is also capable of tossing. If she continues to toss like this, the rules of the Ming Dynasty controlled by the eight aristocratic families will no longer be stable.
But Zhuge Weidao can't think of any good way to stop it now... After all, he and Empress Dowager Zheng are in the same bed, and their relationship is so good, of course he can't betray Empress Dowager Zheng.
Moreover, it would not be good for him if Empress Dowager Zheng fell. As for the old rules of the eight aristocratic families in controlling power, it was not so easy to break...
Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao said to Zheng Yuhuan: "Sister Yuhuan, the emperor's personal expedition is probably possible... I'll go talk to the Zhuge family. However, the emperor's personal expedition can only be done at most. Going to Guangzhou is absolutely out of the question!"
