Emperor Su He returned to Qianqing Palace from the Dachao meeting.
At this court meeting, Emperor Su He had a rare tough attitude and suppressed all objections.
Various policies reached at the imperial meeting were formally promulgated through this court meeting.
The issue of adding military representatives to local government offices.
In the court, as Emperor Su He expected, it aroused dissatisfaction among many civil servants.
But their dissatisfaction cannot prevent the adoption of the policy at all.
Without the important ministers of the imperial court behind the scenes, it would be difficult for these ordinary officials to cause much trouble.
The meeting went smoothly, and Emperor Su He was also very happy.
At the end of each great court meeting, Emperor Su He would issue decrees to the governors of various provinces, urging them to implement the policies of the great court meeting.
Emperor Su He also reviewed the memorials of governors from various places and some important prefects.
The Dahua Empire laid telegraph networks throughout the country, and news from various places could be quickly delivered to the capital through telegraphs.
Government orders from the capital can also be transmitted to various places at the speed of light.
Even in the most remote areas, information transmission only takes a few minutes.
The speed of information transmission has accelerated, and governors in various places have become more diligent in reporting matters.
I reported something before that it would take months or even a year or two for the memorial to go back and forth.
With the current speed of information transmission, the contents of a memorial sent out in the morning may be approved by the emperor and the cabinet in the evening.
It is precisely because of the emergence of this situation.
The number of memorials reviewed by Emperor Su He doubled.
This is a memorial that has been screened by the General Affairs Department and the Cabinet.
They have sifted through a large number of meaningless memorials.
For example, Song Kangnian, the governor of the northwest, wanted to show his presence.
Since Yin Litong received the telegram, Song Kangnian has sent telegrams every day to greet Emperor Su He.
He also talked about trivial things about the northwest.
Emperor Su He read this kind of memorial two or three times, and he immediately asked the General Affairs Department to intercept it.
The governor, who had nothing important to report, sent useless memorials, and the General Affairs Department returned them all.
The cabinet has the power to resolve a large number of local government affairs.
Most memorials are basically resolved by the cabinet.
This only requires the final review by Emperor Su He and the seal of the jade seal.
Emperor Su He thought that he was not such a hard-working emperor.
He devotes at most three to four hours a day to deal with the day's government affairs.
His level of effort is far different from that of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a model worker emperor who worked more than ten hours a day.
Emperor Su He left a large number of government affairs to the cabinet, and tedious military affairs to the governor's office.
He has already done so, delegating some authority to reduce work pressure.
Emperor Su He only did this bit of work, and he felt that the emperor's work was very energy-consuming.
He was a little worried that the next generation would be pampered, dislike handling government affairs, and become a faint king trapped by ministers.
The system of the Great China Empire allows a wise king to take charge of the government and become the supreme emperor.
Let the foolish king not cause too much damage to the country, but be a virtual king without any rights.
Emperor Su He established this system to deal with the emperors three or four generations later.
Emperor Su He hoped that his children and grandchildren would be wise emperors.
They are not required to be holy kings, with abilities comparable to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Su He was extremely satisfied that his children and grandchildren, as a conservative king, could defend the foundation he had laid.
In this way, with three generations of emperors laying the foundation, the foundation of the Great China Empire will be more solid.
Even if future generations lose their fortunes, the Great China Empire still has enough foundation and will not recover from the fall.
The prince is still young, and Emperor Su He can still spend a long time observing the talents of each prince.
This country must be handed over to the right prince.
………
………………………
Emperor Su He rubbed his sore wrist. He recovered from his daze and continued to review these memorials.
He had just finished reviewing the memorial and asked the Secretary of General Affairs to send it back.
At the same time, make a backup copy and send it to the cabinet and the Metropolitan Governor's Office.
Let these two yamen implement relevant policies according to his opinions.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi took several telegrams and walked into Qianqing Palace beforehand.
He saw Emperor Su He working and did not dare to disturb him.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi waited until Emperor Su He finished his work before he stepped forward to report:
"Your Majesty, a telegram has been sent from Liaodong.
Princes such as King Suhu of Wei and King Sushan of Qi were training troops on Jeju Island.
They sent a telegram to inform His Majesty that they were ready to sail to America to establish a country. "
Emperor Su He looked at these telegrams, and Su Hu and others decided to go together.
This can enhance the fleet's ability to resist risks.
A huge fleet has set off from Jeju Island to North America.
They will follow the westerly winds and ocean currents directly to North America.
Then from North America, follow the west coast of America to reach the place you want to reach.
The exploration fleet has now only explored the North Pacific, the direction in which this ocean current flows.
Following the ocean current from the north to North America will be the fastest route.
This route can save a lot of fuel for steam ships, and the speed to America is not slow.
Emperor Su He looked at the time of the telegram. This was a telegram written three days ago and had just been sent.
There is no undersea cable technology yet, and telegrams cannot be sent directly between the island and the mainland.
King Su Hu of Wei and others needed to write letters and send commissioners to Busan to send these telegrams.
Emperor Su He took out several telegrams and handed them to Zhou Fangzhi.
"This is the family letter from King Wei and others. Please send these family letters to the palace."
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi accepted the order and was just about to exit Qianqing Palace with the telegram.
Emperor Su He suddenly stopped Zhou Fangzhi's father-in-law.
"Fang Zhi, King Su Hu of Wei and others have already set off. King Min Zhang Yuliang, King Jin Li Fengming, and King Zheng Wang Zhongce are preparing to leave for Africa. They will also leave in the near future.
You should pay attention to the situation of these princes.
After receiving the situation, there is no need to wait, and you will report the relevant situation to me immediately. "
Zhou Fangzhi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will pay attention to this matter."
He stayed for a while and found that Emperor Su He did not continue to issue orders, and Zhou Fangzhi withdrew from Qianqing Palace.
He wanted to personally deliver the family letters of these princes to the palace.
Emperor Su He thought of the three princes of Luzon Island.
They each have their own weaknesses and have different goals, which prompts the three of them to join forces.
Emperor Su He thought about the situation reported by Luzon Governor Maoxiang.
Of the three princes, only Zhang Yuliang had the experience of leading an army.
They had their henchmen train their soldiers.
The soldiers under the three princes began to train individually and at the same time cultivate their loyalty.
After comparison, the three kings found that the personal bravery of the soldiers was almost the same.
But as long as they fought together, the soldiers in the hands of Zhang Yuliang, the king of Fujian, crushed the soldiers in the hands of the other two.
It can even be exaggerated to reach a battle loss ratio of thirty to one.
They saw the huge gap and decided to exchange resources.
Zhang Yuliang is responsible for training grassroots soldiers, Li Fengming is responsible for training officers, and Wang Zhongce is responsible for training officials.
When the three of them exchange resources, they will definitely act collectively like Su Hu and others.
These princes have already prepared other materials, and they are waiting for the troops in their hands to be strong enough to resist the danger.
[In view of the general environment,
Su Hu and others have finished practicing
Soldiers, set off for America.
Zhang Yuliang's training speed will be similar.
They should be heading to Africa in the near future.
…………………………
Emperor Su He finished handling the matters at hand and went to the parliament.
Watch MPs from all walks of life troll each other in Parliament.
Over the years, councilors have adapted to their identity and their rights.
They represent the interests of different classes.
In the dynasties before the Great China Empire, many voices from the people could not be conveyed to the court.
The entire public opinion was in the hands of the gentry.
Today's congressmen are completely different. They come from different classes and want to speak out for their own class.
The voices from the bottom of society can be conveyed to the ears of court officials and the emperor through the parliament.
In this way, many dangerous situations can be eliminated in their bud.
…………………………
Emperor Su He is riding a bicycle in the palace to exercise.
When he was young, he could lead troops to attack dozens of miles a day.
Nowadays, to be pampered, you must strengthen your physique through exercise.
There is no solution for the three highs in this era. If you suffer from the three highs, you will gradually die.
Su He met many old brothers, and they all had no problems on the battlefield.
It may be that the memory of hunger as a child is deeply rooted in my bones.
After these people became rich, they began to eat and drink lavishly.
He soon turned into a chubby fat man. In the past few years, people have died suddenly one after another.
Su He suspected that the emperor was prone to die young, which was closely related to the Three Highs.
The three best ways to exercise without damaging the body are walking, swimming, and cycling.
Emperor Su He was extremely cautious about swimming. It was very unusual for two emperors of the Ming Dynasty to die from drowning.
Swimming is a sport where accidents are easily caused.
Walking and cycling are two sports that are more suitable for exercise in the palace.
He is also protected by Qilin Guards, so the probability of encountering danger is extremely low.
Emperor Su He took a look at the bicycle. The bicycle he was riding was not ordinary.
In order to donate this bicycle, Longchang bought 20 million taels of low-interest long-term government bonds.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi was sweating profusely, riding a black bicycle to chase Emperor Su He's motorcade.
When he was approaching Emperor Su He, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Emperor Su He heard the cry of Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi.
Only then did he stop his bicycle, turn around and look behind him.
Seeing Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi coming here, he waited here for a short while.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi soon came to Emperor Su He.
He stopped his bike, breathing heavily.
He took several deep breaths in succession before he calmed down.
"Your Majesty, the King of Fujian Zhang Yuliang, the King of Jin Li Fengming, and the King of Zheng Wang Zhongce have sent telegrams. They have decided to set off for Africa."
After Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi finished speaking, he immediately handed the telegram to Emperor Su He.
Emperor Su He handed the bicycle to the guard.
He read these telegrams carefully. The telegrams from Zhang Yuliang and Li Fengming contained ordinary polite words and their prospects for the future.
Wang Zhongce's telegram was completely different.
Emperor Su He was surprised when he saw Wang Zhongce's telegram.
These telegrams from Wang Zhongce are in addition to the normal greetings between the monarch and his ministers.
He wrote several letters to his family, one to Princess Zheng, one to Wang Wenjun, and one to Emperor Su He.
Emperor Su He specially took out the letter he wrote to himself and read it word for word from beginning to end.
"I, the king, Zhongce, kowtow. The country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it be without a prince for a day.
Your Majesty is in the prime of life and does not think that
There is a need to establish a reserve.
Good things happen to people. Once something unexpected happens to His Majesty and the crown prince fails to be established, the country will inevitably be in turmoil.
Establishing the heir as soon as possible can also prevent other princes from coveting the throne.
If the crown prince is not established and the princes fight against each other, there will inevitably be a situation of bloodshed.
The emperor's eldest son Su Shu, as the legitimate eldest son, has both political integrity and talent, and no bad habits.
I am leaving the Great China Empire to present the last book to Your Majesty, please establish the crown prince. "
Emperor Su He looked at Wang Zhongce's letter.
He was not surprised at all that Wang Zhongce wrote this letter.
When Wang Zhongce was the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, he intentionally or unintentionally proposed the establishment of a prince.
Emperor Su He never responded directly.
At that time, the princes were still too young and there was no way to test them. Emperor Su He did not want to establish the heir apparent at that time.
He issued an order and reprimanded several rotten scholars who clamored for the establishment of a crown prince. At that time, no one dared to mention the establishment of a crown prince, and the matter went nowhere.
Wang Zhongce never forgot to establish the crown prince. His purpose was to establish the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince.
This is the son of his sister Wang Wenjun.
If Su Shu becomes emperor, the Wang family will benefit immensely for hundreds of years.
Emperor Su He knew why Wang Zhongce was anxious to write this letter.
Previously, as the prime minister, Wang Zhongce could win over officials in the name of Su Shu and form a faction centered on the emperor's eldest son.
Wang Zhongce went overseas to build a country. Without him as a core figure, the faction created for the eldest son of the emperor would easily dissipate.
If the eldest son of the emperor becomes the crown prince, the officials of this faction will naturally move closer to the crown prince because of Wang Zhongce's relationship.
Emperor Su He took these telegrams and returned to Qianqing Palace.
He saw Queen Wang Wenjun waiting outside Qianqing Palace with an anxious look on her face.
Wang Wenjun saw Emperor Su He approaching.
She immediately stepped forward and said in an anxious tone: "Husband, my second brother requested to establish a crown prince. I am definitely not instigating this behind his back.
I will support whichever prince your husband wants to make the crown prince. "
Queen Wang Wenjun was worried that her second brother Wang Zhongce's letter would disgust Emperor Su He.
As a queen, Wang Wenjun's children enjoy the highest level of resources in the palace.
As long as she is a queen, her son will be her legitimate son.
At present, the inheritance system of the royal family has not been determined by the eldest son.
But the legitimate son also has absolute advantages.
Emperor Su He looked at his wife Wang Wenjun's nervous look.
He said in a gentle tone: "Others have no ability to interfere with my will.
King Zheng wrote to me. It can be seen from the content of the letter that he was in a hurry when he wrote.
I believe that this letter was written by Wang Zhongce, Prince of Zheng, who struggled for a long time when he left Dahua.
Wenjun knows my temper better and will not use this method to force me into the palace. "
When Queen Wang Wenjun heard Emperor Su He's words, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Su He asked doubtfully: "Mr. Wen, I just saw this letter. How did you learn about this news?"
When Wang Wenjun heard Emperor Su He's question, she replied with some confusion:
"Husband, this matter has spread throughout the country, and most people in the capital know about it.
The doctor from the Imperial Hospital told me this. "
Emperor Su He heard Queen Wang Wenjun say this.
He knew there was someone with good intentions and spread the news.
The place where the information was leaked cannot be determined.
Now that the whole country is connected to the telegraph network, information leaked in one place can quickly spread throughout the country through the telegraph network.
It is said that the royal family has no secrets, and Emperor Su He only now truly understands this.
He could even imagine what kind of storm this letter from King Zheng would cause in the future.
