The emperor is happy!

How could the emperor not be happy?

He is rich all over the world, he has three palaces and six courts, he is in charge of life and death, etc., and because of this, Chinese love to dream of emperors, and because of this, the emperor's dragon chair has always tempted people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But in fact, only those who are emperors know that being an emperor is not happy at all. At least for most ordinary people. On the surface, they are the most powerful and glorious emperors, but in fact they are the most unfortunate group of people in Chinese history.

One of the most obvious examples is that most of the emperors of ancient China were short-lived and in poor health.

In the past, Zhu Yifeng didn't know the reason, but now, he deeply understands the misfortune of being an emperor. In recent years, he has always laid down very late and then got up very early. Sometimes, he wanted to enjoy the life of three palaces and six courtyards as an emperor, and wanted to be a faint king for a few days, but the result was unfortunate, he had no chance, not even time, unless he wanted to destroy the empire in his own hands.

The enormous power was the root cause of the emperor's misfortune. The emperor is the freest man in the world because his power has no limits. The emperor is also the most unfree person in the world, also because his power has no boundaries.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Yifeng needs to work more than ten hours a day, get up at five o'clock in the morning every day, and then run for half an hour in the trail of the palace garden, and then greet the arrival of the day with abundant energy. In his own office, he was dealing with yesterday's administrative affairs -- and he reviewed again the folds that had been done yesterday and Zhu Pi.

The reason why he did a second review was to prevent any mistakes on his part, and then at seven o'clock in the morning, someone brought him in for the first breakfast - a simple Chinese breakfast, without any superfluous things: a glass of milk or porridge, sometimes spicy soup or tea soup, as for the main food is extremely simple, steamed buns, steamed buns, pancakes and fruits, in short, it is a simple Chinese breakfast, according to the official statement, the daily breakfast cost is very low, no different from ordinary people. But this does not mean that he is extremely unparticular about eating, on the contrary, as an emperor, food is his greatest hobby.

However, even so, it is well known that because of the scarcity of the royal family, the daily expenses are so low that they are not even as good as some large families, and this is also a commendable thing.

After a simple breakfast. He really started his day, which was to look through important official documents of the state, although sometimes deep down he could not bear the work. The thought of the work as he could not avoid turned into a very bad mood, and he walked into the office with this emotion - a large, and extremely luxurious room, with a soft carpet on the floor, and a large, long writing desk, not far from which was a large globe on a black wooden shelf.

All along, he has a superhuman memory, an enviable ability to memorize the contents of documents and intelligence after reading them once, and also to remember them word by word.

However, in a way, he didn't like the documents, because they don't speak. Reading, or even just flipping through these boring documents, is unavoidable, because most of the time, he has to understand everything through them.

In short, it can be disgusted, but he must devote himself to it. He thinks about the whole country, the whole world. It was for this reason that he felt extremely tired, and although most of the time, all government affairs were in charge of the cabinet, but he was the emperor after all.

After reviewing the documents and the papers, he would leave here and go to his own world, which belonged to his laboratory, and in an instant he was completely changed. For him, life acquires meaning again: there he can carry out some experiments, introduce many epoch-making things into the world.

This kind of seemingly boring thing is actually the most important thing for this country, after all, now. I am lagging behind Europe in many ways, and his work will help China surpass Europe in the next competition.

Of course, during this period, he can also get to know a lot of young people, those young people without exception will be affected by "it", so as to make a breakthrough in a certain field, there are innovations, and it is this breakthrough and innovative China in the past few years, there have been tremendous changes, now China is in the corner of the overtaking, as long as the opportunity is seized, at most 20 years China will fully surpass European countries, of course, in these 20 years, it is more important to lay a solid foundation, Especially the foundations of basic science.

After all, the country is now at war, and he needs to devote more energy to dealing with military problems, after all, he is the supreme commander in the true sense of the word, and he may not be able to give tactical guidance to the army, but he can give some strategic advice.

Of course, more often than not, he was a supervisor, and in 1861 the Chinese Empire established the world's first supreme command, which was not only concerned with military issues, but was actually the first institution in the world to deal with overall warfare, and unlike other countries, China was guiding the entire war with an epoch-making strategic policy.

This is also the fundamental reason why China has been able to occupy an advantage from the early days of the war, until now, when the British are thinking about their navy and army to block the Chinese navy and army, for the Chinese Imperial Command, the problem that needs to be considered is how to use the strength of the whole country to crush the other side.

It is precisely because of this that China has been able to occupy the initiative with its relatively weak national strength.

As the supreme commander, Zhu Yifeng, in this process, is more to supervise the production of industry, such as the production of warships, artillery, artillery shells and other military supplies, of course, there is also the issue of conscription, as for the war, otherwise those generals are responsible, as the emperor, he is more willing to put himself in the role of coordinator.

Then, after leaving the Wuying Palace,

He began to enjoy his lunch. Compared to a simple breakfast, lunch is extremely hearty, often featuring a few extremely delicate and delicious dishes served by the best chefs.

As a matter of convention, as an emperor, he liked to have lunch with a few people, and although he always invited them with a certain purpose, with the emperor's reward for his courtiers, it also meant glory for those who were invited, after all, only a few big cities could accept such invitations.

Therefore, at this time, lunch is also a kind of work at a certain time, perhaps this interprets the sentence: the emperor has no private affairs.

In other words, it is the most fashionable phrase in the future - Zhu Yifeng dedicated all his time to the people...... Uh, no, it should be said that it is a subject.

Just like now, even while enjoying lunch, he still needs to discuss political affairs with Luo Bingzhang and others.

"One thing is for sure, now the French and the Russians. They will certainly expand their interests and narrow our interests in the question of India and other colonies......"

After receiving the envoy that France had sent them to conduct negotiations between the three countries in St. Petersburg, while breathing a sigh of relief, Zhu Yifeng also realized that they would definitely make a move.

"The Russians and the French will certainly not be happy to see us acquire most of the British colonies, and they will do everything possible to narrow down our interests......"

The division between the imperialist countries has always been the same, for every imperialist country. Their concern is always profit.

It can be said that the current alliance between China and Russia, between China and France, is not so much an alliance of states as an alliance of national interests.

The fundamental starting point of the union of the three countries is to carve up the British colonies, and in this case they can have evil intentions. to describe the relationship between the three countries.

"Your Majesty's cabinet is still opinionated, but we must not let anything we have shed blood."

Luo Bingzhang said directly.

The so-called opinion in his mouth is actually the bottom line that is officially acceptable.

"If the army, the bloodshed place, is taken out and traded with these two countries. Then it will inevitably provoke discontent among the military and the people. At that time, all the responsibilities must be shouldered by the Cabinet. ”

To some extent, the current Chinese imperial form of government is not so much a traditional empire as the East. It's rather a mix of East and West.

It preserves the traditional form of government of the Chinese Empire to the greatest extent. However, it also incorporates some characteristics of Western political systems, and the so-called cabinet is not so much like a British-style cabinet as a Chinese-style cabinet that mixes some characteristics of Western political systems.

It was for this reason that the cabinet under the emperor's mandate maintained a certain semi-independence.

Just as the Cabinet considered public opinion in the past, the current Cabinet pays more attention to public opinion. Pay more attention to the influence of public opinion. For Luo Bingzhang, he knows it very well. If, in diplomatic negotiations, in order to win the support of Russia and France for China. Or rather, to make fundamental concessions on the colonial question in order to bring the two countries into the war. For example, some of the turf that the Chinese army has carved out. If it is ceded to the two countries, then the pressure of public opinion will fall entirely on the cabinet.

The cabinet will then become a scapegoat. As the prime minister, he has only one choice at that time...... Resign.

This also meant the fall of the Cabinet.

So at this time, it is necessary for him to clarify the views of the cabinet. Of course, the intention of this point of view that he clarified was to inform the emperor in advance. According to the Cabinet, if the Emperor is determined to do so, the last one will still be the scapegoat.

After all, the emperor can't be wrong.

As a courtier, you must have this awareness. The emperor can never make a mistake, and it is always the ministers who make mistakes.

"Whatever we have laid is absolutely impossible to give to others. This is a matter of principle! ”

Without any hesitation or hesitation, Zhu Yifeng said with force.

"Australia was bought back with blood. Who wants to keep this blood first. Whether it's the French or the British, they will trade their lives for what they want. ”

Maybe for this day and age. Australia is almost a barren land, but for Zhu Yifeng, he knows very well that there are countless treasures buried in that seemingly desolate land.

"Your Majesty, if the minister's expectations are correct, the French want to carve up India with the Russians, and they don't take our interests into account at all."

Li Ziyuan said in an indignant tone, although he knew that His Majesty did not take a fancy to India at all, but he also knew very well that although His Majesty did not take a fancy to India, it did not mean that China would not seek benefits in India. For India, China has other arrangements and plans.

"Just like in the Middle East, they have carved up all the richest places. And then very generously left us with a desert. In the eyes of these foreign devils, there is no us at all. Otherwise, how could we be left with only a piece of sand? Could it be that we sacrificed so much. Just to get that piece of sand? ”

Listening to his somewhat indignant words, Zhu Yifeng smiled, and then said casually.

"That piece of sand isn't bad, either!"

If it is placed in 100 years, who can get that piece of sand will probably be envied to death. After all, there is the largest oil field in the world buried under that desert, and even before that, Zhu Yifeng had already made up his mind, the Middle East is as they want, but that desert must be in his own hands.

It's like a person giving a pillow when they're sleepy. Who would have thought that the French would take the initiative to give such a generous gift to themselves.

For them, it's a barren land, something they don't need, but for China. This is exactly where you need to be.

The only regrettable thing is that there seems to be a lot of place to give. Not only the part of the Arabian Peninsula bordering the Persian Gulf, but I didn't expect the French to paint most of the Arabian Peninsula with their hands. All were allocated to China, of course, this does not mean that the French did not keep a hand, they still control the Persian Gulf access to the sea.

But it's not a big deal, after all, the oil extraction of the Arabian Peninsula will not be until the next century, and who knows what will happen in the coming decades. But what is certain is that no matter how the situation develops in the future. It is impossible for China to abandon its oil depot.

However, this requires a thorough solution to the problems of the peninsula, after all, there will still be too many unstable factors for the peninsula in the next 100 years or so, and those unstable factors are likely to shake China's national foundation. Since it is a factor of instability, it should be cleared in advance, but now is not the time to think about it. Now there are more important things.

"France!"

After a moment of silence, Zhu Yifeng said slowly.

"Now that France is our ally, we should be able to consider the next step......"
