Although the emperor's voice was not loud, the effect was surprisingly good.
He just said something so concisely that all the officials immediately shut their mouths.
Confused, puzzled, shocked!
Wait, a series of complex emotions suddenly enveloped the hearts of all the officials.
Is this a bit like a collective confusion?
Roughly the same.
From a common sense analysis, His Majesty sits in the middle palace all year round and is more shut-in than other ladies. If this is the case, where did he get the information?
A little forced.
Also, since he is willing to testify for Qi Yu, he must make sense based on common sense, otherwise, he will not be able to convince the public.
Could it be that... there are internal guards and a secret report has been sent?
If this is possible.
While all the officials were making wild speculations, the emperor, who was in charge, spoke again: "I believe that Qi Aiqing is a humble gentleman who is as pure as gold and jade. He has always upheld the principles of diplomacy with neighboring countries. Following the general policy of treating each other with courtesy and persuading others with virtue, we have made special contributions to the supreme image of our country."
"The reason why I make such an evaluation is mainly based on the facts, and I am not deliberately trying to protect him. As for the detailed reasons, Lao Yin Ai Qing wrote it for me."
Well……
This goes around and around, and then it comes to Yin Jun's head.
However, this style is in line with the king's temperament.
In terms of routine operations, the superiors are only responsible for finalizing the coffin. As for those wasted words, it is naturally left to the civil servants.
Therefore, it is reasonable to leave it to Yin Jun to explain.
However, after being stunned, the officials realized a new problem.
It was obvious that the emperor had "conspired" with Yin Jun in private before today's morning meeting, otherwise, the two of them would not have such a tacit understanding.
In fact, it's pretty much the same.
Last night, the emperor secretly summoned Yin Jun to the palace to discuss with him confidential matters related to southern Xinjiang. Also going with him was Lu Boxuan, the new deputy minister of the cabinet.
Emperor Yan said: Nowadays, Luzon and Dawan have actually come under the jurisdiction of Qiongzhou Prefecture, and they have become an inseparable part of Dafeng in name only.
The reason why it is called surrender, rather than capture, is mainly because the chieftains between Luzon and Dawan have jointly signed a letter expressing their willingness to actively adhere.
In other words, the two places where Qi Yu accepted and surrendered were not obtained solely by force, but also by public opinion.
Don't underestimate this, it is the key to justice.
What does it mean specifically?
Put it this way.
Suppose you want to get something. You want to rob it with violence and someone is willing to give it away. These are two completely different qualities. Although the results are the same, the feelings given to onlookers are very different.
After Yin Jun and Lu Boxuan finished reading a pile of two pieces of documents, they were both stunned.
What kind of document is this? It is clearly a surrender treaty!
However, after they came to their senses, the two of them started singing praises.
You must know that opening up new territories is a major event for the country, so how can we not congratulate it?
This is a great joy!
For the emperor, he had already demonstrated his civil and political abilities to the world, but he had yet to show his high hopes for martial arts.
Not to mention it's an achievement, they are still being jointly attacked by the two northern powers.
Therefore, his favorite comparison between Emperor Qin and Emperor Han is not very tenable in fact.
But now it's different. There are people from far away countries who admire Tianyan sincerely. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?
Thinking of this, the emperor began to feel a little swollen, especially because of the constant praise from Yin Jun and Lu Boxuan, Piao Piao Ran was not an ordinary person.
Qi Yu did a good job, reward him!
But what should we reward him with?
Regarding this, Yin Jun admonished: Qi Yu's political achievements were rated as 'C'. From a institutional point of view, it is not appropriate to be promoted to a capital official, and the Ministry of Personnel will not approve it. However, Your Majesty can award rewards based on merit. In this way, you can avoid the entanglement of the officials and have absolute autonomy in terms of rights.
The emperor agreed and asked: What are the details?
Yin Jun replied: After acquiring Luzon and Dawan, Qiongzhou Prefecture has transformed into a very large jurisdiction. For such a vast land, if there is no matching administrative division, there will definitely be chaos in governance. In this case, why not go with the flow and upgrade Qiongzhou to the provincial capital and Qi as its governor? This move not only showed the emperor's great grace, but also improved the administrative shortcomings. It can be said that it killed two birds with one stone.
Makes sense.
Lu Boxuan also believes that promoting Qi Yu to the governor of Qiongzhou is completely in line with the current times. It is now known that the Francois will invade in the near future. If Qi Yu can become the governor, he can legitimately organize the local army to fight, and then stabilize the situation in Nanyang.
Well, that makes sense!
In fact, in addition to the above reasons, the emperor also had his own ideas.
At present, the imperial army needs to rush to the north and has no spare power to take care of Nanyang. In other words, Qi Yu needs to rely on its own strength to resist foreign military attacks. At this critical moment, if they are not given corresponding rights, it is likely to have negative consequences.
Also, after he has his own local army, he can approach Java more realistically to retrieve the lost jade seal. This is a major matter related to the imperial power of the Li family and must not be taken lightly.
Therefore, based on the above considerations, it is indeed timely to promote Qi Yu to the position of governor.
Since the emperor had made a decision, why did he invite Lu Boxuan and Yin Jun to discuss it?
These two are different.
Back to the present.
After receiving the Holy Will, Yin Jun got the two-note treaty again, and then read it aloud in front of everyone.
Naturally, the ministers didn't know why.
Yin Jun first read Nai Lu Song.
"Chinese culture has its origins and spreads, and the mountains of Luzon look up to it... The superiors respond to the will of God, and the subordinates respond to the will of the people. I am willing to lead all people to join together and become one family. I hope the emperor will learn from his sincerity, and so on."
Next, there is the one in Dawan.
Heard:
"My emperor's virtue covers the whole world; my emperor's glory shines in the sky... We all the chieftains in public are willing to see your majesty return to China to bathe in the divine grace and enjoy peace, and so on."
These two treaties were signed by Qi Yu on behalf of the emperor on the grounds of his right to act expeditiously.
Moreover, it is legitimate and legitimate.
After Yin Jun finished reciting, he secretly cast a "meaningful" look at Qi Dalang.
It seems that everything has been taken care of.
Of course, who can’t figure it out?
