In early March of the 19th year of the Grand Duke's reign, the spring mood gradually became stronger in Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. There were many trees in Emperor Zhu's Forbidden City, and now they began to sprout green buds, becoming lush and green. The palace guards also took off their heavy cotton-padded clothes, put on neat brocade robes or small cotton-padded jackets, and walked in and out of the layers of palace palaces. However, everyone's expressions were relatively solemn, and no one dared to make loud noises. They even pedaled lightly for fear of disturbing the Duke and the Emperor who were in a bad mood.
There is a reason why the emperor is in a bad mood. His closest comrade-in-arms, Zhuge Sanhe, the king of Wuxing County, who is also the first hero of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, suffered a sudden myocardial infarction on the night of the 18th day of the first lunar month, and treatment failed. He was in the palace of the Wuxing County Prince. Died at the age of seventy.
In other dynasties, if there were no such important heroes in the founding of the country (the restoration of the country is actually the founding of the country), most of the emperors would have secretly enjoyed themselves, but Zhu Heji was the kind of emperor who was willing to share wealth and honor with the heroes. Moreover, he has always been a truly wise king who takes the principle of "original monarch" and "original minister" seriously. Therefore, he never regarded himself as his master, nor did he regard the ministers who worked with him to conquer the world and restore the Ming Dynasty as slaves, nor did he regard the world as the private property of Lao Zhu's family - in actual execution, he did not regard the world as his own House's.
Therefore, he is a "selfish" emperor who has his own private property and also wants to accumulate more wealth through operating industries. Although his approach cannot be said to be selfless in theory (he is public and private), it is easy to distinguish between public and private property. Not only is the royal support very controllable in financial accounts, but the emperor can also bring his heroes along with him. Get rich!
Although the industries created by Zhu Heji were all opened by his own golden finger, he did not eat alone, but led his heroes to make money together... Since everyone has money to make money together , naturally everyone has the same desire, and conflicts can be easily covered up.
Moreover, Zhu Heji is also tolerant, tolerant, and reasonable... Of course, this does not mean that he does not have the wrath of thunder, but that he will not give a meal to the people below without any reason. He was thunderous, but he was still very strict when he needed to be strict. Everyone in the palace knows this. Even the eldest concubine Dabo Ling, the American lady Anu and the little Rakshasa lady Natalie have to deal with each other when they make mistakes!
Emperor Zhu is in a bad mood these days. It's better for everyone to be careful and don't offend Long Yan...
With a snap, the chess piece landed gently on the chessboard. In a chess game, it's time for them to be evenly matched. Black's side has lost a knight and a rook, but it still attacks fiercely to take the lead, with the intention of killing the red boss in one go.
As for the little Zhuge holding the red chess piece, Zhuge Zhengyang, the king of Lingwu County, clearly had the advantage and only lost a horse and a cannon, but he still held a big rook and didn't know where to move, and his brows were furrowed. Yes - he is in a hurry! The emperor is going to lose. He is such a loyal minister and the emperor's gold medal fighter. How can he not be anxious? Of course, he couldn't be blamed for this. He didn't expect Zhu Heji to be such a bad chess player. Such a bad chess player could actually play against his father who had just passed away for so many years. His father played chess very well... It must be that the Holy One was too sad because of the loss of Zhongliang, and even lost his chess skills. It’s down, it’s so touching!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Zhengyang shed tears...
Zhu Heji also saw Zhuge Zhengyang crying and thought: "Look, filial son! Mr. Zhuge has been dead for more than two months, and he is still crying all the time! I must learn from him!"
Thinking of this, Emperor Zhu comforted Zhuge Zhengyang and said: "Ayang, don't be too sad. Your father's life is worth it... His name will remain in history, and his achievements will surpass those of our ancestors. I will give them back to you." You left behind so much property and younger brothers and sisters. Your younger brothers, such as Zhengyun, Zhengwo, Zhengzhu, and Zhengan, have all become talents and will be the pillars of the country in the future! Not to mention you, you have He became a king and prime minister based on his own ability! Both father and son are great heroes, which is rare in ancient and modern times!"
"Your Majesty..." Zhuge Zhengyang looked moved and shed more tears.
Zhu Heji waved his hand: "Don't call me Holy Master, call me brother... Although my father and I are monarchs and ministers, we are like uncles and nephews, and we have always wanted to become brothers with different surnames, Ayang, but your father refused. Agree. Your father is unwilling to be my elder! Now that your father has passed away, we might as well find a day to worship Mr. Guan together and become brothers!"
Zhuge Zhengyang was even more moved and couldn't hold back his tears. He cried and said: "Your Majesty..."
"Call brother!"
"Brother..."
"Brother Qi!"
Just when the two newly recognized brothers were about to hold each other's arms and cry, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Mrs. America, please see me."
"Anu?" Zhu Heji took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears and asked, "Did she say anything happened?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mrs. America said that the Monk King of the Snow Region has accompanied the Great Lama of the Snow Region to Jiangbei and will enter the city in a few days. In addition, she also received a letter from the Monk King of the Snow Region."
"What? Why is Sanji Gyatso here too?" Zhu Heji was stunned.
Sitting opposite him, Zhuge Zhengyang, who was dressed in filial piety, stopped crying and whispered to Zhu Heji: "Brother, years ago the Jin Yiwei and the Snow Region Affairs Minister Yamen reported that Sangye Gyatso had crossed the mountains to India... ....I should have gone to see Kang Mazi!"
Of course, Sangyi Gyatso's collusion with Kangxi Khan could not be hidden from Zhu Heji's people. Not only did the Minister of Affairs of the Snowy Region and Jin Yiwei report it, but even the Indian trading company controlled by Wu Guogui knew about it - the two of them also had a Garr. There was so much noise about the spread of Buddhism in India with Dan, especially that Galdan who preached and preached Dharma and begged for alms everywhere... Many princes of Indian states who were protected by the Indian trading company also donated silver rupees!
However, Zhu Heji did not ask the Minister of Affairs of the Snowy Region to question Sangye Gyatso... In his opinion, the spread of Buddhism in India by Kangxi, Galdan and Sangye Gyatso did not threaten the interests of the Ming Dynasty. . Because in India, no matter what you believe in, you have to have a caste. Even the Tianfang Sect has a caste, not to mention Buddhism?
So he just turned a blind eye and allowed the three brothers Sanji, Galdan and Kangxi to spread Buddhism widely in India.
But this Sangye Gyatso was not busy spreading his Buddhism. Why did he come all the way to Nanjing with the Sixth Great Lama Tsangyang Gyatso? Previously, Xining Kumbum Monastery reported that only the sixth great lama would go to the pilgrimage to see the emperor, but it did not mention that the chief monk of the Snow Region would also come with him!
Thinking of this, Zhu Heji said to Zhuge Zhengyang: "Second brother, I think this Sanji's purpose is not simple. Let's read his letter together." Then he raised his voice again, "Anu, come in and talk. .”
"Yes." Anu was actually outside the door. When he heard Zhu Heji's call, he quickly lifted the curtain and walked in. When he got to Zhu Heji, he made a blessing ceremony and then handed over an envelope in his hand. .
Seeing Anu's solemn expression, Zhu Heji knew that there must be something important, so he quickly took out the letter paper from the opened envelope, unfolded it and read it carefully. After opening it for a while, his face already darkened, and he spoke He also let out a cold snort.
Zhuge Zhengyang, who was standing next to him, had just finished the ceremony with Anu. When he heard Zhu Heji's cold snort, he turned back and looked at him: "Brother, Holy Brother, what stupid words did Lama Sanchi write in the letter to make you angry?"
Zhu Heji said coldly: "He is helping Kang Mazi come to Nanjing as a lobbyist this time!"
Zhuge Zhengyang asked: "Kang Mazi wants to make peace with us?"
"It's not about making peace," Zhu Heji sneered. "It's normal to want to make peace if you can't win... I may not agree."
Zhuge Zhengyang knew that what Zhu Heji said was half true and half false. Kangxi wanted to make peace, and of course Zhu Heji agreed, but the "peace" Zhu Heji gave to Kangxi was that the Ming army would no longer send troops to attack Kangxi Khan, and it did not include launching a Proxy wars and inciting civil strife in Mongolia.
"Brother Holy Brother," Zhuge Zhengyang asked, "please stop showing off. What does Kang Mazi want to do?"
"He wants me and the Frankish Emperor Louis to carve up the world!" Zhu Heji snorted again, "They deserve it too!"
Anu was a little surprised to see Zhu Heji's contempt for Kangxi, "Your Majesty... you didn't often praise Kangxi for his ability to rise up from the adversity of losing his country and being in exile, and to create great things." The situation is worthy of being a dragon and a phoenix among men, a hero of a generation?"
Zhu Heji had a very high opinion of his old enemy-this Kangxi was not only tenacious enough to carry out the battle, but also had a strong learning ability. Many of the new weapons created by Zhu Hekai's Golden Finger were copied. Although he couldn't copy the real "black magic", he still made a mark in the Western Regions and India with his sugar bombs and sugar rocket launchers. Although there is some credit to Zhu Heji, Kangxi Khan is still very capable.
"The 'they' I'm talking about are not Kangxi Khan and Frank Emperor Louis," Zhu Heji said with a sneer, "but the Indian Asan and Kangxi Khan's Great Mongolia! Kangxi Khan is a powerful character, and Emperor Louis' Frank The empire should not be underestimated. However, the country established by Kangxi Khan after he moved westward is not worthy of being listed as the world's three heroes with the Ming Dynasty and the Franks. Mongolia is just a scattered country that has been pieced together at random, and the Indian empire directly under the jurisdiction of Kang Mazi is just a A colonial place where our own people were enslaved by foreigners. The three Eight Banners of Mongolia, Confucianism and Qing in the north are about to be separated from Kang Mazi... Just watch, Great Mongolia can lose a Kangxi A life-and-death outcome would be good, and we might not be able to wait until the day Kangxi dies!"
Emperor Zhu was extremely confident in his judgment that "Kangxi would be divided after his death" because he had received the draft of Yinreng's treasonous secret agreement personally brought by Mr. Du, the leader of the Qing Gang. Although there are only six traitorous clauses in this draft, only half of them can be implemented. There is a high probability that Yinreng will completely fall out with Kangxi within ten years, and the two father and sons will have to fight each other.
Although Kangxi was quite capable of fighting, his victory was either based on copying Zhu Heji's "Golden Finger" or gathering a large group of Mongolian, Central Asian, and Afghan thugs to fight against India - how is this possible? Lose? It’s impossible to lose! But if Kang Mazi really fought with Yin Reng, he would be pushing back from India to Central Asia and the Kazakh grasslands. At least half of the ruthless people in Great Mongolia will gather in Yinreng's hands, and Yinreng will also receive military aid from the Ming Dynasty! It would be great if Kangxi could create a "Northern Qing Dynasty and Southern Yuan Dynasty" situation, and he also wanted to participate in carving up the world... It's okay to say that the Northern Qing Dynasty, the people of the three Eight Banners of Mongolia, Qing and Confucianism might be able to form a central government together. Sub-nation states. But Nanyuan is basically a large colony waiting to be divided!
"Brother, can you please take a look at it?" Zhuge Zhengyang reached out and took Sangji Gyatso's letter from Zhu Heji's hand, and then read it at a glance.
"Ayang, what do you think?" Zhu Heji saw that his good brother had read the letter and immediately asked for his opinion.
Zhuge Zhengyang is only four years younger than Zhu Heji, and he has always been a figure in Zhu Heji's inner circle. After his father retired, he went back and forth between the four positions of prime minister and military advisor of the two governments. Zhuan Zhuan was Zhu Heji's most trusted minister. Of course he knew that what Zhu Heji was planning now was no longer a career in this life, but a plan for the Ming Dynasty to dominate the world a hundred years later.
Three points and equal division have never been Zhu Heji's pursuit. Zhu Heji's goal has always been for the Ming Dynasty to dominate and dominate the entire world. Because he knows that Ming Dynasty is not a country, but a civilization!
As a country, Ming Dynasty does not necessarily have to dominate the world, but as a civilization... Ming Dynasty must stand on the top of the mountain!
"Brother," Zhuge Zhengyang said, "this world is only so big...and our share will not be able to expand in tens to hundreds of years. No one will occupy the territory! If we If we don’t share it with Kang Mazi, will the share of the Franks increase? These Westerners are fierce and cunning, and their population is also large, more than 100 million! My brother feels that instead of letting the Westerners It is better to let Kang Mazi's Great Mongolia join the three-point world! If he takes more territory, the Franks will take less. Since Great Mongolia is not a concern, then Frank will be the last one on my way to dominate the world in the future. Guan, so we must concentrate our efforts on dealing with Frank!"
After listening to Zhuge Zhengyang's analysis, Zhu Heji nodded repeatedly, with a face filled with relief: "Okay, okay... Zhengyang, you are worthy of being little Zhuge. Uncle Zhuge has someone to succeed him, and I have you." With such brotherly support, you can rest easy." He paused and then said, "Zhengyang, I can flexibly control Ding You's time in the new Ming Dynasty, and you are a military veteran, so you don't have to observe filial piety for three years. I think you will come back next month to help me... This negotiation with Frank and Mongolia is very important to our Ming Dynasty. You must participate with me and work together for the future a hundred years from now. The Ming Dynasty has laid out a plan for hegemony!"
