"Damn it!"

When a loud drink came from the room, the teacup was also thrown to the ground and shattered into pieces with a "click", and the tea leaves and tea were scattered all over the ground.

"This Aixin Jueluo family should be damned!"

Again, when he said this, Zhu Mingzhong's whole person felt that the anger in his heart was completely ignited.

The Manchus are going to cede Xinjiang to Russia!

It was completely unexpected!

It also completely subverted his understanding.

Once upon a time, he only knew that the Manchu Qing Dynasty liked to cede land and pay reparations after the Opium War, and at that time, he still felt that he was inferior and helpless because of reality.

But now, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's decision to directly cede Xinjiang and large swaths of northern Kazakhstan to Russia is completely beyond his imagination.

How could they do that!

"Your Majesty, according to the information we have, their mission should have arrived in Moscow by now."

Wang Wenbai lowered his head and said, his voice was a little dull, but compared to His Majesty's anger, he didn't feel the slightest unhappiness.

After all, for the people of this era, in their opinion, the Western Regions are not within the territory of China at all, and they will never be able to understand that in Zhu Mingzhong's view of the world, whether it is Xinjiang, or Qinghai and Tibet, which were obtained through canonization and other means, are the mainland of the empire.

After all, for Zhu Mingzhong, who is from the 21st century, the scope of China should be at least a begonia, and within this begonia, it is the territory of the empire.

It's just that people in this era can't understand it.

Wang Wenbai couldn't understand it, as the first assistant, Fang Yizhi and the second assistant Zhang Huangyan, the auxiliary ministers Zhu Daxian, Qian Lei and Zhou Peigong, they couldn't understand it.

They couldn't understand it, but they could feel the emperor's thunderous wrath.

In the face of the emperor's anger, everyone chose to remain silent.

Silent!

When the ministers were silent, Zhu Mingzhong's mind repeatedly appeared in modern times, the countless land reparations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the humiliation of modern times.

In the end, the bold words of the so-called "Emperor Xuantong" Pu Yi once again came to mind: "I don't care how many people the Japanese kill in the Northeast and how much grain and coal they take away, as long as I am not allowed to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I will not be willing." ”

Okay!

A good one will not be willing!

What a person won't be willing!

After doing it for a long time, I thought it was forced to form. Right now...... I know, it's all ancestral!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if the Manchu Qing Dynasty cedes the Western Regions to Russia, with the current strength of my Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions, it is not appropriate to fight with Russia, and the minister thinks it is ......."

Without waiting for Qian Lei to finish speaking, Zhu Mingzhong scolded angrily.

"Shouldn't you go into a big fight with Russia? Is it possible to sit back and watch them occupy my Ming land? Such an absurd statement, even if it can be said from a cabinet minister like Qing, it really disappoints me to the extreme......"

The more Zhu Mingzhong spoke, the more annoyed he became, and finally said coldly.

"Qian Qing, last month, you asked Shi to return to his hometown, I Yuan Dao You are from the minister of the dragon, bent on retaining, who would have thought that today's Qing would actually talk nonsense like this, so, I will allow you to ......"

What the!

Not to mention that Qian Lei himself was stunned, even Fang Yizhi and the others all looked at His Majesty dumbfounded, they didn't expect His Majesty to be so annoyed.

Qian Lei, but he is an old minister!

How could His Majesty treat his former ministers like this?

Qian Lei was also shocked by His Majesty's decision, although he was already seventy-five years old, he had long hoped for Zhishi, but he didn't expect it to be in this way, this is not a glorious thing, and now he is not Zhishi, but was kicked out of the cabinet.

Kicked out of the cabinet by His Majesty.

Without waiting for Fang Yizhi to stand up for Qian Lei, Zhou Peigong immediately stood up and said.

"Your Majesty is angry, and the minister thinks that Your Majesty's decree cannot be ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Mingzhong, who was angry, said angrily.

"Why, is it that I am in chaos!"

Staring at Zhou Peigong, Zhu Mingzhong's voice became cold.

But all people have reverse scales, and for Zhu Mingzhong, the land is his reverse scale, maybe he can be very generous to divide the South Seas and the world to his sons, but in the final analysis, it is still for the expansion of China, but in addition, his heart still has his own ideas about the scope of the country.

Now that someone has cut off his land, how can he not be annoyed?

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was extremely tight, Qian Lei trembled and held the ivory wat board and said for a long time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After another long pause, he said

"Your Majesty, the old man of the minister has just spoken nonsense, but since the minister, if he is at war with the Manchus and Russia in the Western Regions at the same time, it is really unwise, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has made this move in order to use the Russian barrier between it and my Ming Dynasty, so that my Ming Dynasty can naturally develop in the south, if I Ming Dynasty because of the Western Regions, and Russia into a war, then, isn't it just letting the Manchus get their wish, so the minister thinks, at least for the time being, we should never force Russia with arms......

Anyway, he has been kicked out of the cabinet, Qian Lei has no scruples, and directly tells his inner thoughts one by one.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

……

The successive approvals made Zhu Mingzhong's brows lock, and after the anger in his heart faded, although he felt that Fang Cai was too harsh, and he would be so out of shape when he was angry, but now the wood is in the boat.

"It's good that if you don't force each other with arms, is it possible that you can't still plan for the long term?"

Zhu Mingzhong said coldly.

"Qian Qing, do I want to sit back and watch Russia occupy my Ming land?"

"Your Majesty, the Western Regions is not yet the land of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Daxian's confrontation made Zhu Mingzhong not angry but happy.

"It's not a good one, it's not in your eyes, but in my eyes, the Western Regions have been my Ming land more than a thousand years ago, and the Western Regions have been opened up in the Han and Tang Dynasties, so isn't it my Ming Dynasty's land? I told Zhuqing - but all the places where my Han people have been are the land of my Ming Dynasty, not to mention the Western Regions, that is, Persia...... In the future, it is not impossible to incorporate into the mainland, that is, in the Tang Dynasty, it was the Persian governorate. Since the Tang Dynasty has already set up a government, then Persia is ours, as for Safi, I don't recognize it! ”

As soon as His Majesty's opinion came out, everyone fell silent for a while.

Is this a strong argument?

Of course, since it is for Safi, it is also for the ministers.

In the face of His Majesty's "strong words", everyone just smiled bitterly, and they finally saw this extremely rare side of His Majesty.

And at what cost?

That night, Qian Mansion, Fang Yizhi looked at Qian Lei, and said with a wry smile.

"Bingyi, it is convenient for you to stay in Beijing for a few more days, and when Your Majesty's anger is gone, I will ask Your Majesty for a decree......"

Fang Yizhi's attitude was extremely sincere, he wanted to keep Qian Lei.

"Mizhi, I am already old and decrepit, and I am about to die, I have long had a heart, and I ...... today"

After a slight pause, Qian Lei smiled.

"On the contrary, it's a good thing, in fact, for so many years, Qian someone has been stealing from a high position, walking on thin ice all day long, and now it's okay, no official is light."

At this time, Qian Lei's expression did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, and the whole person seemed very relaxed.

"Speaking of which, when I was in Jiangyin City, I descended to Your Majesty, but it was only forced by the form, and Your Majesty was the Mandate of Heaven, and after the Zhongxing Dynasty, on meritorious deeds, I was lucky to be in the cabinet, Your Majesty was kind to me, I don't know, but after all, my ability is limited, these more than ten years, thanks to your help, it has not dragged down the national affairs. But is this a long-term solution, today...... It's not so much that Your Majesty is angry, but that Your Majesty is too disappointed in me. ”

After a word of disappointment, Qian Lei's eyes were half closed, and he seemed to be calm, but he was indeed extremely uncomfortable.

"So, Mizhi still don't mention this matter again, after all, our majesty ......"

With a long sigh, Qian Lei smiled bitterly, but didn't say anything more, and Fang Yizhi didn't speak, they knew that sometimes, even the emperor needed to kill chickens to show monkeys, and they also needed to use this to knock the cabinet.

Qian Lei's resignation is not so much to provoke His Majesty, but not to say that His Majesty is telling the cabinet that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the real master of the Ming Dynasty, and as for the cabinet, it is just under the orders of the emperor.

Over the years, behind the seemingly delegated power is His Majesty's firm grasp of power.

All this is naturally clear to them.

"Mizhi, now, the most important thing is not that I am not in the cabinet, but to persuade Your Majesty that there must be no conflict with Russia because of the Western Regions, at least not in the next year or two!"

After a moment of silence, Qian Lei stared at Fang Yizhi and said.

"In the event of a conflict with Russia, the military will not object, after all, Russia has a vast territory, no less than a million armor, and a war with such a powerful country is naturally a remarkable military achievement, but the problem is, there is also a Manchu Qing, the reason why the Manchus ceded land to Russia, isn't the purpose to trigger a conflict between us and Russia? Therefore, in this matter, you must let Your Majesty deal with it cautiously, and you must not act rashly! ”

After a sentence of anger, Qian Lei smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty can listen to opinions most of the time, but on some issues, Your Majesty is extremely stubborn, so please keep this matter a secret."

Qian Lei's please, Fang Yizhi nodded silently, and then said.

"I know, actually, today His Majesty has calmed down, hasn't it been decided to send an emissary to Russia to protest? If it is not surprising, at least this year, even if the Manchus cede the Western Regions to Russia, Your Majesty will not immediately use troops to prevent them from annexing the Western Regions, after all, Your Majesty has always been extremely cautious in the use of troops."

"Prudence is prudence!"

Shaking his head, Qian Lei looked at Fang Yizhi and said.

"But there are some things, not only to be cautious, now that the situation in the Western Regions has changed greatly, you have to find a way to break the situation, as for the rest, it is second, okay, in the future, this state affair, please leave it to secret......"
