The long court meeting is over, and Emperor Su He can take a short break.
There are a lot of things going on in today's court meeting.
He awarded medals to the meritorious soldiers in the northwest battlefield and those who made meritorious service in controlling the plague.
There were so many nobles awarded that the morning court started at nine o'clock and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
There were too many people attending the meeting, and there was no room for a banquet in the Huangji Hall. Emperor Su He took the lead, and all the officials only gave out one meat bun.
Today's court meeting also decided on several matters that had been delayed due to the plague.
The special ocean-going ships for exploring America have been built, and the exploration fleet is about to set off.
Go and explore Dahua’s routes to the Americas.
America is a continent that has long been discovered by Europe.
As the Great China Dynasty ushered in the Age of Discovery, they must not miss the God-given land of America.
Cabinet Minister Qian Mingyi was responsible for supervising the construction of a new Yellow River channel. After several years, hundreds of thousands of Nanyang indigenous slaves and Japanese Japanese workers dug a new channel regardless of life and death.
A new channel of the Yellow River has been successfully dug. The Yellow River no longer diverts the Huaihe River from entering the sea. It flows into the Bohai Sea from Le'an County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province.
In order to save construction time, the new river channels of the Yellow River are expanded on the basis of the original river channels.
The new channel of the Yellow River has been built and will be put into use during the flood season.
If the Yellow River, the mother river, is well managed, tens of millions of acres of fertile farmland can be expanded along both sides of the river, allowing hundreds of millions of people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Suhe today appointed cabinet minister Wei Shiming and Zuodu Yushi Li Yuanzheng to inspect the quality of reservoirs and Yellow River embankments across the Yellow River.
Only if the Yellow River embankments are of high quality can water from the Yellow River be diverted from the old river channel to the new river channel.
Once there is a problem with the Yellow River embankment, it will be a man-made flood that will cause millions of casualties.
Su He believed in Qian Mingyi's ability, but he could not pay the price of trust with the lives of millions of people.
New Yellow River channels must undergo detailed inspections and pass quality standards before they are allowed to be put into use.
The civil and military officials began to withdraw from the court, and Su He was also preparing to go to the imperial dining room. The imperial chef had already received instructions and had prepared meals for Emperor Su He to enjoy.
He received a notice from Zhou Fangzhi that Zhang Yuliang, the Duke of Min, asked to see him.
Su He asked the guards to bring in Zhang Yuliang, Duke of Min.
After Zhang Yuliang saw Su He, he saluted and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, today Caifeng Pavilion will hold a scholar debate at eight o'clock in the evening.
There were many well-known scholars debating. I thought Your Majesty would be interested in it and specially invited Your Majesty to watch the debate.
Caifeng Pavilion is the property of Wei Chen's concubine. It is very close to the Governor's Mansion and is relatively safe there. "
Zhang Yuliang revealed the situation of Caifeng Pavilion just to reassure Emperor Su He.
The property of his wives and concubines was the property of the Duke of Fujian, which proved to Emperor Su He that it was extremely safe.
The disaster caused by the plague to the imperial court has passed, and the imperial court continues to arrange many matters.
There's only one thing that hasn't happened yet.
That is the Great China Dynasty. Does it have any plans to expand externally in the near future?
Now even special military expenditures have not been increased, and the Logistics Department has not made any large purchases.
A nobleman like Min Guogong Zhang Yuliang was only one step away from being crowned king and heading overseas to found a country.
In the past, the establishment of a country overseas was just a castle in the air.
Now that some people have selected wise men and are officially preparing to found the country, how can they not be anxious?
Zhang Yuliang has always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to His Majesty the Emperor. Only by understanding the Emperor's thoughts can he make preparations in advance.
Zhang Yuliang learned from his wife Bian Yujing that there was a scholar debate meeting in Caifeng Pavilion.
He knew that Emperor Su He paid great attention to the ideological trends of various schools of thought in society and always promoted changes among various schools of thought.
Only then did Zhang Yuliang come to invite Emperor Su He to participate in the scholar debate.
After a few days, Su He heard the name Caifeng Pavilion again.
He ordered Zhou Fangzhi: "Let the imperial dining room pack the food, and we will eat at Caifeng Pavilion."
Caifeng Pavilion is the property of the Duke of Min, and Su He will not eat the food there.
The Chemistry Institute of the Academy of Sciences has produced so many potent poisons and chronic poisons that Su He has no idea of eating food from other places.
Su He put on a common outfit, and the guard behind him was carrying a slightly heated food box with a charcoal fire at the bottom.
They took a carriage and headed to Caifeng Pavilion.
Su He asked doubtfully: "Mr. Min, I heard that Caifeng Pavilion is a place for singers and dancers. How can there be scholars debating there?"
Zhang Yuliang explained simply: "There are many singers under Caifeng Pavilion. In order to maintain their reputation, they hold scholar debate competitions.
The top three will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver coins, and they will also attract the attention of the singer and win the beauty back.
An activity that brings fame and fortune and brings beautiful women back home.
Red sleeves add fragrance and read at night.
How could a young and energetic scholar let go of this opportunity? "
When Su He heard this situation, he immediately understood the purpose of Liu Rushi and others.
She is worthy of being a woman whose name will go down in history. She is really skillful and knows how to use her own strengths.
…………………………
When Liu Rushi, Gu Hengbo, Dong Xiaowan, and Li Xiangjun saw Bian Yujing approaching with a boy in his arms, they all looked extremely envious.
Dong Xiaowan said in a clear voice: "Sister Bian, why did Mr. Min Guogong carry a lunch box this time.
Duke Min and Sister Bian both praised the food I cooked last time. "
Bian Yujing thought about her husband's instructions, and said with a smile: "The person my husband is accompanying this time is also a big shot. He is used to eating food from his own family."
Liu Rushi was the first to react and asked nervously: "The Duke of Fujian is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Could it be that someone with a higher status than Duke Min is..."
When Liu Rushi asked, she pointed to the sky with her finger.
Bian Yujing nodded and said: "Sister Liu's guess is correct, it is indeed that person.
I will create opportunities for the sisters. Whether you can please that adult or not, you will see what you are capable of.
You must know that there is a queen who is from the Jiaofang Division, and her status is lower than ours.
I hope sisters can cherish this opportunity.
Sisters had better show all their charms. Once they are noticed by this big man, they will not have to worry about it for the rest of their lives.
I will still have to rely on my sisters when the time comes. "
Liu Rushi and others looked at each other, with eager light flashing in their eyes.
Li Xiangjun was the first to react and thanked: "Thank you, Sister Bian, for the tip."
Liu Rushi and others quickly thanked them, thinking about how to express themselves.
They put on clothes that best showed their charm and waited for news about Bian Yujing.
…………………………
In the attic on the top floor of Caifeng Pavilion, Emperor Su He and Min Guogong Zhang Yuliang were sipping imperial wine and eating meals cooked by the imperial chef.
The attic around them was full of guards and others, and their conversations could not be heard outside.
The attics of Caifeng Pavilion are all very similar in layout.
It is a series of suites, with several rooms in the front where the maids rest, a large living room in the middle, and a huge berth in the back.
Emperor Su He and Min Guogong Zhang Yuliang were eating and drinking in the living room.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Duke Zhang Yuliang of Min State saw that Emperor Su He was in a better mood. After toasting, he said: "Your Majesty, I saw that the King of Liao and others had gone overseas to found a country.
The minister was extremely anxious and wanted to ask His Majesty whether the imperial court had any plans to expand abroad in recent years. "
Zhang Yuliang chose to ask questions directly and make his thoughts clear.
He said it more euphemistically. Emperor Su He didn't understand his intention, and it would be very troublesome if he misunderstood it.
For example, Emperor Su He understood that if Duke Min wanted to avoid the war, this would be a big trouble and would require huge costs to remedy the situation in the future.
Su He had already expected that Zhang Yuliang would come to him privately to inquire about the situation.
He did not expect that the first person to lose his temper would be Min Guogong Zhang Yuliang.
Su He thought for a moment, and he could also figure out why Zhang Yuliang couldn't hold his breath the most.
Several princes in the imperial court were not related by blood or marriage to Emperor Su He, except for the Duke of Jin, Li Fengming, and the Duke of Min, Zhang Yuliang.
The blood relationship between Su Zhuang, Duke of Song Dynasty, has been in the fifth server, but he has been able to keep his composure since he grew up with Emperor Su He.
Duke Li Fengming of the Jin Dynasty was a military advisor and staff figure who did not rely on external battles to accumulate military merit.
Only Min Guogong Zhang Yuliang was the most worried about his situation.
Su He drank the wine offered by Zhang Yuliang and said: "The Mongolian grasslands in the north of the Great China Dynasty have been completely solved by us.
The Buryat tribes near the North Sea have not yet surrendered, but the general trend of Transkarkha Mongolia has been determined, and the Buryat tribes are unable to survive alone.
The climate near the North Sea is very cold, so the imperial court will send out cavalry divisions in summer to completely conquer the Buryat tribe.
In the two northwest provinces, the situation in western Turpan is relatively stable, and the Kazakh tribes have too much to take care of themselves.
We also need to develop enough cavalry divisions before we can continue to attack westward.
The Wulianghai tribe in Yinli Province encountered the Russians advancing eastward.
Now the Russians are competing with the Ottoman Turkish Empire for the Crimea region, and they do not have the strength to move eastward with all their strength.
The local garrison alone can block the Russians' eastward advance.
We reached the Wulianghai area and occupied more territory than the Central Plains area.
This will require the imperial court to digest the fruits of victory for a long time before it can continue to compete with Russia for the large area of frozen land in the north.
I will never allow a powerful European empire to appear on top of Dahua's head.
The north is temporarily building troops, and the next main direction of attack is the south.
Dahua will send troops from three directions: Guangxi, Yunnan, and Nanyang to seize Southeast Asia in one fell swoop. "
The next strategic goal of the Dahua Dynasty is to conquer Southeast Asia.
The main targets are Vietnam, Myanmar, and Siam.
After conquering Southeast Asia, Dahua bordered the Indian subcontinent.
This fertile and well-ruled place will sooner or later be in the possession of the Great China Dynasty.
The goal set by Su He for the Dahua Dynasty was to dominate East Asia.
Take advantage of this best time to expand the sphere of influence of the Great China Dynasty.
Even if the Great China Dynasty lacks strength in the future and shrinks its sphere of influence.
If these places are separated, they will also become the country of the Han people.
Zhang Yuliang, Duke of Min, was satisfied when he heard the exact answer given by Emperor Su He.
The meritorious deeds produced by Vietnam, Burma, and Siam were enough to give birth to five or six kings.
The pie painted by Emperor Su He was also big enough. The North wanted to capture more than just Beihai, the place where Su Wu shepherded sheep.
The vast frozen land in the north of the North Sea must be completely occupied by His Majesty the Emperor.
Even the Mongols don't know what the situation is like at the northern end of the North Sea. They only know that there are snowstorms all year round and the environment is extremely harsh.
Even if they don't get the chance to send troops this time, they can still earn a royal title by conquering these desert lands.
It's just that if you get the title of king too late, you won't be able to compete with others.
At that time, we can only choose a remote area to build a country and rely on others.
They are all founding monarchs. Whoever wants his own country to be bullied by other countries is often willing to do so.
Zhang Yuliang still needs to be prepared to become a king as soon as possible.
Zhang Yuliang asked clearly what he wanted to ask, and they could have a happy meal.
He suggested: "Your Majesty, the leading singers of Caifeng Pavilion are all singers who were born in Qinhuai River in the past. They are not old and have not yet left the pavilion.
These four leading singers have excellent performance skills. I called them into the attic to play for us. "
Zhang Yuliang observed Su He's expression and saw that Su He did not express any position, especially no objection.
He immediately informed his wife Bian Yujing and called Liu Rushi and the four daughters into the attic.
Caifeng Pavilion's leading singer, Liu Rushi, Gu Hengbo, Dong Xiaowan, and Li Xiangjun performed performances one after another.
Su He and Zhang Yuliang enjoyed the music and dance, drank and ate.
Soon after several jars of wine were brought, the food on the table was finished.
Zhang Yuliang saw that Emperor Su He was slightly drunk, and he signaled to his wife.
Bian Yujing gently pinched the child in his arms, and the child immediately burst into tears.
Zhang Yuliang said apologetically: "How about I go see the child?"
He immediately took his wife and left the attic.
Liu Rushi and the other four girls have extremely high levels of observation of words and expressions.
Seeing that the Duke of Fujian and his wife had left, His Majesty the Emperor was the only one left in the attic.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi and the guards outside would not enter the attic unless ordered.
They showed their charm, slowly approached the emperor Su He, and used all their abilities to please him in order to escape their current fate.
…………………………
Su He went downstairs to watch the scholar debate held in Caifeng Pavilion in the evening.
He rubbed his sore waist and lamented his lack of concentration after drinking.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi put away the emperor's daily life record he had just written. He asked: "Your Majesty, there is no precedent for this matter. How should it be handled."
Su He ordered: "How can the royal heirs be wandering outside? There have been no draft girls since I ascended the throne.
Now it seems that they have to make an exception and let them draft women and enter the palace through formal procedures.
She is not the empress of the world, so my other concubines do not need to care about their origins. "
For Su He, this matter was just a trivial matter.
Four famous women took the initiative to throw themselves into their arms. He did not resist, and what was supposed to happen happened naturally.
Su He was more concerned about the upcoming scholar debate.
The Dahua Dynasty is now an agricultural country and is accelerating the process of transformation into an industrial country.
The etiquette system that has been implemented for thousands of years has encountered drastic social changes and is no longer suitable for the current situation of society.
An industrial country produces more wealth in one year than an agricultural country produces in ten years.
The gap between various classes of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce is getting wider and wider, which will also cause social divisions.
The Great China Dynasty now urgently needs a consensus to bridge all strata.
If we don’t lay a good foundation now, we will lay down hidden dangers in the future.
The Great China Dynasty may usher in a series of grassroots uprisings and divisions among all classes of the country in a few decades.
