Li Mingrui smiled, and pulled Guo Yunhou to a corner before saying: "If I tell you that my letter to Your Majesty does not mention the fact that the crown prince of Java has bribed the first assistant Qian Qianyi, will you believe it?" ”

Hearing Li Mingrui say this, Guo Yunhou couldn't help but feel shocked, he really couldn't believe that this Li Mingrui actually gave His Majesty a fake evidence, but seeing Li Mingrui's face was indeed true, he had to believe it, so he said with some puzzlement: "You are deceiving by doing this." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Guo Yunhou just shut up when he was about to say the word "bully", after all, this kind of thing cannot be said explicitly, since His Majesty did not expose Li Mingrui on the spot, then saying it at this time is 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 a big deal, with the stomach of His Majesty today, how can he care about such a trivial matter, Your Majesty is not a person who will be repaid, Da Situ is inevitably a little too worried, not to mention that in that case at that time, His Majesty's obvious dislike for Qian Qianyi has reached the highest time, what Your Majesty needs most at that time is a reason, a reason to give Your Majesty to dispose of Qian Qianyi on the spot, I just helped Your Majesty find a reason;

In addition, I also wrote in the letter that we had originally discussed the decision that we could pay an extra part of the commercial tax in order to allow His Majesty to expand more actively abroad, and His Majesty would naturally be willing to make this deal with us, that is, at the expense of Qian Qianyi, the head of the cabinet, in exchange 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 hit with one blow and pull Qian Qianyi from the position of first assistant to the cabinet.

But Guo Yunhou must not secretly worry about Li Mingrui, he used this kind of almost trading and opportunistic means to let His Majesty dispose of Qian Qianyi, which is a bit of a feeling of taking advantage of His Majesty, which is really too arrogant, even if His Majesty does not pursue it at the moment, but I am afraid that if this Li Mingrui is unlucky in the future, the reason will also come from this.

The more people who feel that they are resourceful, the more stubborn and unable to listen to any advice, and Li Mingrui is such a person, Guo Yunhou didn't say much.

And Li Mingrui himself couldn't help but sigh and said: "However, I seem to have been in too much of a hurry, so that Your Majesty did not immediately behead Qian Qianyi, and now it seems that it is still a little difficult to make Qian Qianyi disappear completely, but the top priority is the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, which also depends on the support of Da Situ." ”

As he spoke, Li Mingrui couldn't help but bow to Guo Yunhou.

Ministries and ministers play an important role in the promotion of important ministers, and in many cases, even if Zhu Youxiao can stand alone now, he will also consider the opinions of these ministers of ministries and departments, after all, after the emergence of the new cabinet chief assistant, the development of policies still needs the ministries of these powerful departments.

Guo Yunhou naturally readily promised, and now His Majesty has begun to gradually delegate power to the cabinet, especially in daily administration, so if Li Mingrui becomes the first assistant of the cabinet, the policies he implements will definitely be in line with his own interests, and he has no interests and does not support Li Mingrui as the first assistant of the cabinet.

Almost everyone thinks that Li Mingrui is the first candidate to become Qian Qianyi's first assistant, and even positive newspapers and magazines have begun to renovate Li Mingrui's resume again, and increase the exposure of Li Mingrui.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not make a clear statement in Ouchi, and there is no big problem for the time being that the cabinet does not have the first assistant, anyway, there are more staff elements in this institution.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao still doesn't want to let Li Mingrui, a person with too strong desire for power, directly become the first assistant of the cabinet in this way, because he has to admit that some of the views of the old school have a certain amount of truth, if he puts a typical big capitalist in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhu Youxiao is not sure whether such a cabinet chief assistant will be willing to give up his own interests and give more welfare protection to the people at the bottom.

What's more, through Zhu Youxiao's understanding of Li Mingrui over the years, he found that this pearl that was originally lost in history is really not a simple person, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is scheming, and even more than Qian Qianyi will figure out his own intentions, and he actually does not have the slightest fear of himself as an emperor in his heart, otherwise he would not directly make a deal with himself, this kind of rebellious act is not something that ordinary ministers dare to do.

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

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

This may be a good thing for Daming.

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

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not want Li Mingrui to do the post of chief assistant to the cabinet, he wanted to continue to drag it out on the grounds of the war against Java, and look for opportunities to find a more suitable candidate for the first assistant to the cabinet.

……

Without further ado, since His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has decided to take action against the state of Java.

The Ming army system, which has just been rested for half a year, is running again, but because Java is too small, although this Java country is the whole country declaring war on the Ming Dynasty, but for the Ming Dynasty, this is more like a small local war.

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

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

The Ministry of War has now almost been reorganized into an organization similar to that of the General Staff, and after comprehensive consideration of the various intelligence information provided by the Jinyi Guard, the Department of Duties and Departments felt that it was the most appropriate choice to send the Fourth Army of the Praetorian Guard Reserve to destroy the main force of Java, because for a small country like Java, and it is still a country with dense forests, it is not realistic to use chariots and artillery, and the use of the ace First Army is also a bit wasteful.

The Navy's choice of the South China Sea Fleet was due to the principle of proximity, but the South China Sea Fleet participating in the war was limited to two brigades, and the rest of the fleet was only responsible for transporting the fourth section and important supplies.

However, although only the Fourth Army dispatched a total of 20,000 troops, and two brigades (including Heiwa's brigade) and 10,000 navy, with a total of 30,000 combat personnel, it was already the largest operation in the entire South Seas.

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

People always have to pay the price for their big words, since they want to declare war with the Ming Dynasty, then they must fight this war with tears.

The State of Java now has to bear the consequences.
