Chapter 373: Keep an eye on the civil servants
At this time, Zhu Houzhao was trying to use the radio to communicate with the crown prince Zhu Yibang, who was far away in Tianjin.
This is the latest technology of the Ming Dynasty, since Zhu Houzhao proposed the electromagnetic induction phenomenon for decades, the Ming Dynasty has now made great progress in the field of electromagnetism, and at the same time has the results of in-depth research on mechanical waves, and now also invented radio communication technology, of course, the current development of electricity in the Ming Dynasty is not unrelated.
"Emperor Taishang, we have successfully received radio waves", at this time, Ni Si, a researcher from the Academy of Sciences, ran in and said happily to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao was also smiling, and hurriedly instructed Ni Si to immediately compare the translation and translate the information revealed by this radio wave, although he actually knew the content of this radio wave.
Not long after, Ni Si ran from the radio room again: "Emperor Taishang, our translation is the same as the content of the pre-agreement. β
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say: "Very good!" In this way, I will finally cross the audio-visual distance in the field of communication in the future, Ni Si, I will allocate another 500,000 silver dollars to you, and immediately establish radio technology between Beijing and Nanjing! β
Ni Si nodded: "Please rest assured that the Emperor will definitely hurry up to establish radio communications." β
Zhu Houzhao asked Ni Si to send a message to Zhu Yibang to try, but when Ni Si just returned to the radio room, he hurriedly ran out, and said with a panicked expression: "Emperor Qiqi, we just received a different message from Tianjin, and the translated content turned out to be: Zhao Wenhua was killed by Qi Jiguang!" β
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, thinking to himself what was going on, how could Zhao Wenhua be killed by Qi Jiguang, would there be a mistake in spreading the message, it was Qi Jiguang who was killed by Zhao Wenhua, after all, in the original history, there were civilian officials who killed military generals in the Ming Dynasty, and even those at the level of the general army were also killed.
"Send a message immediately to ask, confirm whether Zhao Wenhua was killed by Qi Jiguang, or Qi Jiguang was killed by Zhao Wenhua, ask the reason, and at the same time, immediately inform the emperor of the news that one of Qi Jiguang and Zhao Wenhua may be beheaded!"
Zhu Houzhao immediately ordered, and thought in his heart at the same time: "Don't kill Qi Jiguang!" It's not a pity that Zhao Wenhua died! Qi Jiguang is a military genius, and he still expects this Qi Jiguang to march into the Western Regions and sweep Tsarist Russia after the destruction of the Japanese, after all, it is rare to see a commander like Qi Jiguang who is good at both naval and land warfare in the north and south in history, and there are few in the two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, if Zhao Wenhua dares to do this, I will have to let him be Ling Chi like Yuan Chonghuan! β
But then Zhu Houzhao also regained some of his senses, thinking that with Zhao Wenhua's current power, he couldn't kill Qi Jiguang, and he was not stupid enough to let Qi Jiguang and Zhao Wenhua both have the right to cut off the prelude in advance.
In any case, here, soon, Ni Si took the content of a telegram to Zhu Hou to take care of: "Back to the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has learned from the post station communication soldiers that it was Qi Jiguang who killed Zhao Wenhua!" The reason is that Zhao Wenhua is in arrears of wages, which causes the workers to make trouble in the military camp, affecting the relationship between the military and the people, not to mention the almost delay of the military aircraft, in order to calm the people's grievances, and Zhao Wenhua violated military discipline and should be beheaded in accordance with military decrees! β
Ni Si also said it himself when Zhu Houzhao looked at him, and at the same time, he secretly wondered in his heart: "For so many years in the Ming Dynasty, I have never heard of a military general who dares to kill a civil minister, not to mention that he still kills the dignified Ministry of Works, and I don't know what will happen to this Qi Jiguang, and how the Emperor and His Majesty will deal with this matter." β
Zhu Houzhao didn't show joy or sorrow, only waved his hand and said lightly: "Got it." β
But in his heart, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Okay, what a Qi Jiguang!" He deserves to be a famous general! The ancients said that Ci was not in charge of the army, but now I can see that if this guy really has a chance, even the Ministry of Industry will dare to kill him! However, this also shows that the relationship between the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty under his rule has indeed changed, you must know that in the previous Ming Dynasty, even if Qi Jiguang, who had made outstanding achievements, still had to be old! β
Here, Zhu Zailei was discussing with Xu Jie at this time, and he also dared to decide to let Xu Gang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, replace Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Xu Jie was naturally not very satisfied with this, although he knew that this was the decision of the Emperor Zhu Houzhao, and it was not easy for him to disobey, but he still said:
"The old man of the Emperor Taishang is really worried about the Ming Dynasty, and he still does not forget to supervise the government when he is nearly eighty years old, and even the officials in charge of the construction of the project with the army have to personally check it, it seems that this extermination of the Japanese will be foolproof."
Zhu Zailei naturally knew that Xu Jie's words were in his words, he was provoking the relationship between himself and his father, and he was saying that his father had obviously abdicated but he was still in charge of such a lenient situation, even an official of Zhao Wenhua's level had to be managed.
But Zhu Zailei didn't dare to say anything, after all, in front of people who have the absolute strength to kill themselves, sometimes it is useless to complain and be dissatisfied, and even cause greater losses, so Zhu Zailei is also flattering:
"Emperor Taishang is naturally not Emperor Tang Ming, Song Gaozong and the like, Daming is also thanks to his longevity, otherwise this fast-changing world would have become a pot of porridge, Emperor Taishang is five hundred years older than our prophet, and many things can only be seen by him."
Xu Jie nodded, he admitted that Emperor Zhu Zailei was right, and he also knew that Emperor Zhu Zailei was also helpless; "I hope that the Emperor Taishang will live a long life and continue to live a long life!"
Politicians have to understand what they say, when they reprimand you and scold you, they really value you and treat you as their own, and they are praising you for flattering you and killing people with a smile, and now, Zhu Zailei naturally understands that what Xu Jie expressed means is that it is better for the emperor to leave as soon as possible.
Zhu Zailei didn't get angry, he just smiled, in the eyes of others, it seemed that he was very cowardly, so cowardly that he was not angry because Xu Jie wanted his father to live long and he had been a puppet, nor was he happy because Xu Jie's essence was not to want his father to live a long life.
At this time, an eunuch ran in and told Zhu Houzhao the news that he had conveyed.
"What, Qi Jiguang or Zhao Wenhua was killed?"
Zhu Zailei hurriedly stood up, and hurriedly said: "No, how did the Emperor Taishang and his old man know, I still don't know about this here, the Privy Council, and even the Ministry of War?" β
"Radio, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been accompanying the Emperor Taishang to do radio recently, it is the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has brought back from Tianjin, and it is expected that he will get an urgent report tomorrow", the eunuch replied.
Zhu Zailei only then remembered that there was such a thing, because of the application of electricity, the emperor has been pulling his son to follow up on scientific research every day these days, and he has also taken him to inspect major scientific research units, hold commendation conferences, and even sprinkle money everywhere, like a god of wealth, very popular with the giants of the Ming Dynasty who have become more and more noble recently, and also envy the Confucian teachers who only rely on money and selling ethical and moral brainwashing books to make money.
Recently, my father and son have been working on what radio and what kind of radio network they want to build, and a few days ago they compiled a unified translation, saying that they can let people pass on information thousands of miles away and pass it back in an instant.
Zhu Zailei naturally didn't want to ask if this radio technology really existed and what effect it could really achieve, but wanted to confirm whether Qi Jiguang and Zhao Wenhua really had the news that one of them had been killed, and hurriedly ordered: "Li Fang, tell me as soon as there is news." β
As he spoke, Zhu Zailei asked Xu Jie: "Elder Xu Ge, what do you think about this?" β
Xu Jie was also very surprised at the beginning and couldn't believe it, but then said: "Your Majesty, from the minister's point of view, if this matter is true, it is very likely that it is Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who was killed, these military attaches have always been arrogant and domineering, and it is difficult to control, and now once they have the power, they will inevitably do something that will not be granted in the foreign monarch's order, whether Zhao Wenhua is guilty or not, this is the first time that my Ming Dynasty military generals killed Wenchen!" And it's also a high-ranking official who kills the ministry! β
Zhu Zailei nodded, he felt that what Xu Jie said was right, if it was really Zhao Wenhua who was killed by Qi Jiguang, it would really be a precedent.
At this moment, Zhu Zailei's heart has not been able to calm down, and he doesn't know why, although he is not sure whether this is true, but at this time he has no bottom in his heart, so he has to go to the Royal West Garden, and find Zhu Houzhao to see what is so powerful about this radio technology, in fact, he wants to ask Zhu Houzhao's opinion.
"Father, can you really know what people thousands of miles away are saying through electromagnetic waves, but you can't hear what you say except for the sound of Didi?"
Zhu Zailei's knowledge of natural sciences is limited, and although Zhu Houzhao is a science student, he only knows that electromagnetic waves can transmit information, such as the radio stations in some modern TV dramas and the telephones used by himself in later generations, so he did not disseminate these to Zhu Zailei, and only mentioned some electromagnetic concepts that he knew to the craftsmen of this era who conducted research in this area.
Therefore, at this time, Zhu Zailei will still be suspicious of this.
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Now Daming's communication technology has not yet developed to the point where you can hear what people are saying thousands of miles away, but I believe that it will be possible in the future, and you can even see what people are doing." β
Zhu Zailei didn't know why his father, who was almost eighty, was still thinking about something that seemed ridiculous, but he didn't know what to say, so he only responded casually and asked: "My son heard Chen Hong say that his father knew about the killing of Qi Jiguang and Zhao Wenhua from the crown prince?" β
Zhu Zailei saw that his emperor's son was not interested in the phones and smartphones that would definitely appear in the future, so he had no choice but to change the topic, nodded and said:
"This matter has been determined that Qi Jiguang beheaded Zhao Wenhua for violating military discipline, which is constitutional justified, after all, the army is relatively special! Now it is only estimated that it is difficult for local civil officials to accept, maybe it is difficult for people in the world to accept, but this matter is not a big deal, he Zhao Wenhua violated military discipline, not to mention the Ministry of Industry and Shangshu Even if he is a cabinet minister, there is no superior person in this world. β
"What my father said is very true, my son is just wondering if my father is stunned, how can you conclude that this news is true from this sound drop? Whether it's Qi Jiguang or Zhao Wenhua, neither of them dares to kill each other", Zhu Zailei asked, he still couldn't believe the news in his heart.
"If you want to do something, there is nothing you don't dare, a military general at the general level, a civil official at the level of a cabinet minister, sometimes with a murderous heart, no one can escape, after all, they can't be stabbed!"
When Zhu Houzhao said this, Zhu Zailei just responded in vain, and found a reason to return to the palace, but the news that Emperor Zhu Houzhao learned through the radio still made him not believe it.
But in the middle of the night, Li Fang, the commander of the West Factory, hurriedly found him: "Your Majesty, just now there was an eight-hundred-mile express delivery, and Qi Jiguang did kill Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. β
As he spoke, Li Fang handed the seal to Emperor Zhu Zailei.
Emperor Zhu Zailei was frightened and hurriedly sat up: "This, this, this is actually true?!" Radio, Qi Jiguang killed Zhao Wenhua, no wonder Xu Jie said yesterday that there was such a possibility, but now it really happened, this Qi Jiguang dared to kill the second-grade civil official of the imperial court! What kind of storm will this set off? β
Zhu Houzhao had a good time tonight, and he hadn't slept yet, and now he was holding a widow and gnawing around, showing his strength to be old and strong, but at this time, he could hear the crackling sound of the door outside, and he had to get up and ask: "Who, what are you doing so late, you don't have to disturb the old man's rest!" Come on in! β
After Zhu Houzhao said, he saw Zhu Zailei hurriedly walking in, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Father, my son took the liberty to disturb him late at night, and I hope my father will forgive me, my father really has the technology of transmitting sound for thousands of miles, and what he said is really true, Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang, he really beheaded Zhao Wenhua!" This, how should this be good, and ask my father to decide, whether to recall Qi Jiguangchuan to Beijing to ask about the situation? β
"What do you ask, is Zhao Wenhua important or the Ming Dynasty is more important, he will be outside, the monarch's order will not be granted, at this time, even if Qi Jiguang pierces the sky, he can't be moved!"
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he felt that this sentence was somewhat inconsistent with some people's thoughts, such as which is more important, the dignity of the small people or the rise of a big country, that is, Zhao Wenhua's life is not as important as the national plan? But now, from the perspective of him, the emperor, and his own emperor's son, it really doesn't matter if Zhao Wenhua was killed, but it has more to do with transferring Qi Jiguang back at this time to disrupt the deployment of the extermination.
However, Emperor Zhu Zailei still agrees with Zhu Houzhao's point of view, as an emperor, he is influenced by the ideas of the new era and receives a new education, and can accept the idea that all Han people are equal, but he still instinctively feels that Zhao Wenhua's life is indeed more important than the stability of the entire Ming Dynasty's battle plan, not to mention that Zhao Wenhua did violate military discipline.
Therefore, Zhu Zailei nodded and asked again, "According to my father's will?" β
"To remain unchanged in response to all changes, it has always been the civilian officials who oppress the military attachΓ©s, and now the military attaches are rising locally, even to the point of daring to kill the civil officials, indicating that the civil and military officials have checked and balanced each other, as the emperor, now it is not possible to help the civil officials punish the military attachΓ©s, so that the civil officials continue not to look at the military attachΓ©s in the eyes, but they can't help the military generals to be arrogant, don't take advantage of this to help Qi Jiguang punish the civil officials who take the opportunity to make trouble, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, let the civil and military officials make trouble, just look at the Ming Dynasty who pays attention to human rights in everything, who is more powerful! Is it the equality of civil and military forces? β
Zhu Houzhao entered the bed tent and began to fight with the widows, and Zhu Zailei had no choice but to leave, and instructed Li Fang of the West Factory: "Recently, the movements of these civil officials have been more closely watched than in the past. β
Li Fang agreed, he also knew that it was not a trivial matter for this military general to kill a civil official at the Shangshu level, and he didn't dare to despise it.
