Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 423 Entering the Java State (Sixth Change)
Li Mingrui smiled, and pulled Guo Yunhou to a corner before he said, "If I told you that the letter I sent to His Majesty never mentioned the fact that the Crown Prince of Java bribed the chief minister, Qian Qianyi, would you believe me?"

Hearing what Li Mingrui said, Guo Yunhou couldn't help but feel greatly astonished. He really couldn't believe that what Li Mingrui gave His Majesty was a fake evidence, but seeing Li Mingrui's face seemed to be true, he had no choice but to believe it, so he Some puzzled and said: "You are deceiving."

Just as Guo Yunhou was about to say the word "deceitful", he shut his mouth again. After all, this kind of thing cannot be said clearly. Since His Majesty did not expose Li Mingrui on the spot, if he said it at this time, it would be equivalent to deliberately embarrassing His Majesty.

Li Mingrui naturally knew what Guo Yunhou wanted to say, so he spread his hands and said:

"This is not an important matter. With His Majesty's capacity today, how could he care about such a trivial matter? His Majesty is not a person who will take revenge. Da Situ was a little overwhelmed. What's more, under the circumstances at that time, His Majesty was obviously interested in money. When Qianyi's disgust had reached its peak, what His Majesty needed most at that time was a reason, a reason for His Majesty to dispose of Qian Qianyi on the spot, and I just found a reason for His Majesty;

In addition, I also specifically wrote in the letter that we had agreed to pay more business taxes in order to allow His Majesty to expand more actively, and His Majesty would naturally be willing to make this deal with us after reading it, that is, with money Qian Yi, the chief minister of the cabinet, exchanged for a greater share of the commercial profits of the imperial court. "

After listening to Li Mingrui's statement, Guo Yunhou finally understood why Li Mingrui was able to pull Qian Qianyi down from the position of chief assistant in the cabinet.

But Guo Yunhou also had to secretly worry about Li Mingrui. He used this kind of trading and opportunistic means to let His Majesty deal with Qian Qianyi. It felt like he was taking advantage of His Majesty. I'm afraid that if Li Mingrui is unlucky in the future, the reason will also come from this.

The more people feel that they are unparalleled in resourcefulness, the more stubborn they are and they will not listen to any advice, and Li Mingrui is such a person, so Guo Yunhou didn't say much.

But Li Mingrui himself couldn't help sighing: "However, I seem to have acted too hastily, which prevented His Majesty from beheading Qian Qianyi immediately. Now it seems that it is still a bit difficult to make Qian Qianyi disappear completely, but the top priority It is the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, and it depends on the support of Da Situ."

As he spoke, Li Mingrui couldn't help bowing his hands to Guo Yunhou in salute.

The ministers of the ministries play an important role in the court promotion of important ministers. In many cases, even if Zhu Youxiao can now stand alone, he will also consider the opinions of these ministers. After all, after the emergence of the new cabinet chief assistant, the policy Development also requires the ministries of these powerful departments.

Guo Yunhou naturally readily agreed, and now His Majesty is gradually delegating power to the cabinet, especially in daily administration. Therefore, if Li Mingrui becomes the chief assistant of the cabinet, the policies he implements must be in line with his own interests, and he has no interest in not supporting Li Mingrui as the cabinet chief auxiliary.

Almost everyone thought that Li Mingrui was definitely the candidate to be the chief assistant after Qian Qianyi, and there were even active newspapers and periodicals starting to revamp Li Mingrui's resume again, and increased the exposure rate of Li Mingrui.

On the contrary, Zhu Youxiao from Ouchi did not make a clear statement. There is no big problem for the cabinet without a chief assistant. Anyway, this organization has more advisory elements.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao does not want to let Li Mingrui, a person with too much desire for power, become the first assistant of the cabinet directly, because he has to admit that some views of the old school are reasonable. If he takes a typical Zhu Youxiao is not sure whether such a cabinet chief will be willing to give up his own interests and give more welfare protection to the people at the bottom.

What's more, through these years, Zhu Youxiao's understanding of Li Mingrui found that this pearl left behind by history is really not a simple person. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is scheming, and he can even figure out his intentions better than Qian Qianyi. In fact, he didn't have the slightest fear of himself as an emperor in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't directly make a deal with himself. This kind of rebellious act is not something ordinary ministers would dare to do.

Zhu Youxiao is not sure whether Li Mingrui will unite with other new chaebols to suppress his imperial power once Li Mingrui becomes the head of civil officials, and will thus transform into a constitutional monarchy.

Or maybe I won't be able to control this Li Mingrui in the future.

For Daming, this may be a good thing.

But for Zhu Youxiao, who still wants to be dictatorship for a few years, this is not a good thing.

So Zhu Youxiao still didn't want Li Mingrui to take the position of chief assistant of the cabinet. He wanted to continue to procrastinate on the grounds of the war against Java, and look for opportunities to find a more suitable candidate for the first assistant of the cabinet.

……

Gossip less, since His Majesty the Ming Emperor has decided to take action against Java.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty, which had just rested for half a year, started to function again, but because the country of Java was too small, even though the country of Java declared war on the whole country, to Daming, this was more like a war that couldn’t be smaller. Local war.

Therefore, there are not many Ming troops who can participate in the Java War, and the number of places is limited.

Although the commanders-in-chief of the major Imperial Guards all submitted applications to the Ministry of War to join the war in Java, only Lu Xiangyu's Fourth Army and the South China Sea Fleet were selected in the end.

The Staff Division of the Ministry of War has almost been reorganized into an organization similar to the General Staff Department. After comprehensive consideration of various intelligence information provided by Jin Yiwei, the Staff Division felt that the Fourth Army of the Reserve Army of the Imperial Guard was sent to destroy the Java State. The main force is the most appropriate choice, because for a small country like Java, which is still densely forested, it is unrealistic to use tanks and artillery, and it feels a bit wasteful to use the trump card first army.

The navy chose the South China Sea Fleet because of the principle of proximity, but the South China Sea Fleet participating in the battle was limited to two brigades, and the rest of the fleet was only responsible for transporting the fourth section and important supplies.

However, even though only the Fourth Army with a total of [-] troops and two brigades (including Hei Wa's brigade) with [-] navies and a total of [-] combatants was dispatched, it was already the largest battle in the whole of Nanyang.

At this time, the country of Java did not know that Daming had also declared war on him.

People always have to pay the price for their own big words. Since they want to declare war with Daming, they must fight this war with tears in their eyes.

Java has to bear the consequences now.
