Chapter 1216: You Go to Be the King of India

Zeng Guanlan seemed to understand Feng Yunshan's thoughts, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, don't worry that Guanlan will be dissatisfied or uncomfortable. To put it mildly, now that His Majesty is mighty, Ze is born all over the world, and the 500 million people of the Chinese Empire are all grateful to him, His Majesty's words are a holy decree, coupled with the support of the people, no one dares to be disrespectful, let alone Guanlan?

Besides, Guanlan was originally saved by His Majesty, and Guanlan's Zeng family was also carried out by His Majesty in the sea of suffering, even if everyone in the world complained about His Majesty, Guanlan, as a member of the Zeng family, would not. Please also ask Your Majesty to be relieved, Guanlan knows that his talents are limited, and please ask Your Majesty to transfer Guanlan to the cabinet to take charge of a department or go to the local governor of a province, Guanlan will be enough! ”

Seeing Zeng Guanlan say this, Feng Yunshan turned even more apologetic and said, "Guanlan doesn't have to belittle himself so much!" It is true that compared with a talented and agile person like Zuo Zongtang, you do lack something, mainly because you didn't have enough knowledge when you were young, and your later experience was limited, which is a little difficult to make up.

However, Guanlan is simple by nature and sincere to others, and since he became the vice premier of the cabinet, he has been in charge of the cabinet quite steadily, making the operation of the entire Chinese empire smooth and orderly, and the hard work is high.

It's just that now the affairs of the empire are becoming more and more complicated, and I want to be lazy but get rid of the emperor, there is no way, I can only have a cabinet premier who can have a certain degree of self-determination ability to help me take charge of the cabinet, and lead the cabinet departments to assist me in developing the Chinese empire well.

I also thought about letting you stay in the position of deputy prime minister of the cabinet and take time to study at the same time, but now that there are so many imperial affairs that they are piled up in various cabinet ministries, you are now in the position of prime minister, and you are so busy that you have no time to replenish your knowledge. Blame me for lifting you up too quickly. It's not good for you.

However, Guanlan said that the cabinet subordinate departments or the governor of a province or the like, I can clearly tell you that this is not appropriate. Guanlan, how can you say that you are also a person who has served as the prime minister of the cabinet, and I am already a little uneasy when you are replaced, how can I make people outside think that I am deliberately suppressing you and condemning you? ”

Zeng Guanlan was a little moved when he heard this, and said: "Weichen is grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and he can't repay it, he just wants to do a good job of what His Majesty has assigned." It's just Your Majesty, in this case, it will be difficult for you to arrange. ”

"What is so difficult to arrange! I have an idea, it may take you three or four years. Feng Yunshan said: "I want you to go to India and marry a princess of the Mughal Dynasty in India, my Chinese Empire still has some power in India, and I will fully support you as the king of the Mughal Dynasty in India."

Of course, this also has a mission, and it is not true that you will be comfortable being a king. Your main task is to prevent the princes of the Indian princely states from annexing each other as much as possible, but to make them fight each other as much as possible, but not to be truly unified, so that no one of the princely states can be truly strong, not even your own Mughal dynasty can not be too strong, this point, the field regiment of the Chinese Empire in India will keep an eye on.

As you may already know, this is the first time I have been wary of the growing vassal states of India, one of which is the Sikh Kingdom, and the other is the Sultanate of Bengal. Although these two vassal states are subordinate to our Chinese Empire, they are only now powerful in the Empire, and when I am in power, if one day the Empire encounters a crisis, or if I am no longer in the Empire and the Empire is divided, they will definitely no longer abide by the duties of the subject countries. Therefore, even if they are now in awe of our Chinese Empire and regard them as big brothers, they cannot be taken lightly and cannot be given a chance to become strong.

These vassal states should have the consciousness of vassal states.

How's that, Guanlan, isn't this arrangement challenging? ”

Zeng Guanlan was taken aback! He never thought that the emperor would arrange it like this!

How did he say that? He married a wife in his hometown in his early years, and later after his wife died early, because he missed the kindness of his beloved wife, he never continued the string, he thought that this life would go on like this, but he didn't expect His Majesty to let him marry what princess of what Indian state, and said that this was a task, how could he refuse, but he felt a little drumming in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this, I'm afraid Weichen won't be able to. Weichen is not this material, if Your Majesty ......" Before he finished speaking, Feng Yunshan said: "This is my will!" What, Guanlan, do you want to resist the decree? ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen...... Weichen is old, I'm afraid I can't do it. Zeng Guanlan temporarily thought of an excuse: "What's more, the last emperor of the Mughal Dynasty, ***** Sha * Guofu, who was the godson of the previous emperor of the Mughal Dynasty, seems to have been detained by the British in Yangon, Burma, with several royal women, but later disappeared because of the war." Where did the royal princess of the Mughal dynasty come from? ”

"Alright, Guanlan! These are not reasons! To find a royal princess, it's very simple, just pick a beautiful one, we say she is a Mughal princess, she is a princess! It's just a name. The important thing is that the Chinese Empire supports you! Feng Yunshan made a decision: "That's it!" I immediately decree that you will be crowned the ***** of the Mughal Dynasty, the King of India! ”

Zeng Guanlan was helpless, so he had to bow to the ground: "Weichen wrote about His Majesty's favor!" Wechen is willing to lead the Mughal dynasty of India and be loyal to our Chinese empire for generations! Strive to incorporate India into our Chinese empire at an early date! ”

Feng Yunshan laughed and said, "Haha, Guanlan, don't be sad!" This is a beautiful thing, and it also adds a little blood to your Zeng family! Otherwise, look at you alone, let me worry about you.

However, you are talking about the Chinese Empire annexing India, which is not necessary! Now the territory of my Chinese Empire is too vast, and there is no need to expand it aggressively. Especially in a place like India, where many ethnic groups and many faiths are already in conflict and in a mess, if we annex such a place, it is simply asking for hardship, maybe one of them is not digested well, but it will choke on the Chinese Empire.

Let it continue to be chaotic, as long as it is not unified and continues to form the power of hundreds of princely states, it will not be enough to pose any threat to our Chinese Empire. Of course, as the heir to the Mughal dynasty, you have to take the lead in herding the Hindustan region on behalf of the Chinese Empire. In this way, it is best for the interests of our Chinese empire. ”

Zeng Guanlan even had some doubts about whether he really made the emperor look unpleasant, so he only arranged himself. He understood what the emperor meant, that is, to let himself come forward, give a name, to be the puppet of the Chinese Empire, to become the largest prince of India, and to become the spokesman for the interests of the Chinese Empire.
