In the course of the conversation that followed, Abdul expressed considerable satisfaction with the respect shown to me, and then he exchanged some opinions with our envoy Lu Zhengxiang on how to divide up the territory of the Soviet Union after defeating it - well, it is said that it is an exchange of views, which in my opinion is actually similar to YY, such as what the Ming only needs to be east of Lake Balkhash, and all the other places of the four khanates will be owned by the Mughal Empire and so on.

This is simply nonsense, and it is as unreliable as Wu Shu's plot to carve up the "two emperors and respects" of the Wei State, and immediately divided a large number of nominal thorn histories. Let's not talk about whether a decaying empire like the Mughals is capable of participating in the activities of dividing the world's big cake, let's just say that the Soviet Union itself is an extremely indigestible hard bone, not to mention that it cannot be defeated, and even if it does, it will be difficult to digest this land -- the recognition of the people of the Chagatai Khanate and the Golden Horde is a big question.

I automatically ignored these nonsense, and in any case, the important issues were not decided casually at the meeting with the Mughal emperor, but were slowly agreed with the Mughal professional diplomatic team - what I am talking to Abdul now is nothing more than some issues of principle that seem to be important, but are actually of no use in practice.

In the end, under Lu Zhengxiang's skillful diplomatic manipulation, the audience ceremony ended in standard time, neither talking for a second or saying a word less.

Perfect, except for my actions. Now that I think about it, I seem to be a little reckless, I don't know if those guys surnamed Zhu are happy to be descendants of the Golden Family...... If the blame comes down, maybe I won't be able to eat and walk around? It seems likely.

On the way back to the embassy, Lu Zhengxiang talked to the bigwigs in the center for ten minutes, and I couldn't hear the specific content clearly while sitting in the back of the car, but I could vaguely hear that there was a royal dignitary on the other side of the phone.

I'm a little weak, don't I? The bigwigs in Jingshi noticed my words and deeds so quickly, and they are not worthy of being ministers? That's fast!

When I returned to the embassy, Lu Zhengxiang called me to his office: "Lord Zhen." ”

"The subordinates are here." I hurriedly bowed my hand, "I don't know if the adults have a teaching?" ”

"When you met the Mughal Emperor today, you surprised me......" Lu Zhengxiang coughed, "I didn't expect you to say this, which made my heart almost jump into my throat." ”

"The subordinates know it's wrong! I shouldn't have insulted the royal family! I'm guilty! I hope you will find a way to save my life! "What does it mean to change your face like a flipbook? I just am, I can enter a state of grievance and crying in a second, I lay in front of Lu Zhengxiang's desk, without a little hesitation, "My lord, boy, I am dedicated to the country, in order to win the approval of the Mughal emperor, I have to make this decision, I hope that the adult can make a statement to His Majesty and leave a life for his subordinates......"

"Well, I think you've misunderstood something, Lord Zhen." I could see from the corner of my eye that Lu Zhengxiang's face was full of surprise.

He walked up to me and helped me up: "Lord Zhen, please get up quickly, in fact, you don't have to be so nervous, after all, it is not the era of Emperor Yongle now, even if the royal family doesn't like this statement, you don't have to worry about being punished by the Ten Clans." ”

It's strange if you don't worry! Although the Ming Dynasty is ostensibly a constitutional monarchy, who doesn't know that the world or the emperor has the final say? Although the cabinet seemed to have a lot of power, it had no influence on the army, and the army was still in the hands of the emperor and a group of traditional nobles - Lai Yuejing's Northern Expedition relied not only on his own lineage, but also on many private regiments and local troops, a considerable number of whom later became new nobles. Lai Yuejing learned the Western system and has always been courteous to these nobles, relying on them to control the army. This is a system independent of the bureaucracy, and although the civilian officials have always hated the military system that they cannot intervene in, they have not succeeded in bringing down these nobles after so many years of fighting. This was especially true when these aristocrats merged with the emerging merchant class, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium and the Guangdong consortium were another force that Lai Yuejing relied on, such as the Hui merchants, the Ningbo merchants, and the Guangdong maritime group. These powerful forces were united around the emperor, and the ideal era of the reign of the Holy Son of Heaven was just an unattainable dream.

It seems a bit far-fetched, but I'm really afraid that the royal family will blame me, if I don't enter the officialdom for the rest of my life, the general blame is just a painless level for me, but if I want to enter the cabinet, I have to have the emperor's approval anyway!

"Lord Lu, I am dedicated to the country! I really don't have any disrespect for the royal family! The sincerity of this heart, the sun and the moon can be seen, the world can be expressed......"

"You misunderstood, Lord Zhen, Your Majesty just called me and said that you did quite well, and he was very satisfied." Lu Zhengxiang smiled, "As a diplomat, you are much more witty than me." ”

Did the emperor call you to compliment me? Let's talk about it a little earlier! I was almost scared to death!

Of course, I still have to pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring in front of people: "Adults praise falsely." The younger generation is still very immature, how can it be compared with a diplomatic veteran like you. Lord Lu has worked hard for the country for decades, but he has earned a lot of things for my Ming at the negotiation table - he does not use swords, and the enemy is willing to surrender, this is the way to go up, and the younger generation has admired it for a long time. ”

Lu Zhengxiang smiled: "Okay, Hugh is going to say these unashamed flattering words." Your Majesty asked me to bring you a word. ”

"Huh? With a word? "I'm snickering. A sense of bad luck haunted me.

"He said, you do a good job, I will ensure that you will enter the cabinet in the year of confusion." Lu Zhengxiang patted me on the shoulder, "To be honest, you did a pretty good job, Zishu." It's no wonder that Your Majesty can be kind to you. ”

My heart was pounding violently. My heart was beating faster and I was able to confirm that!

I'm in luck! Can you enter the cabinet at the age of forty? If I can do this, I may become the youngest elder since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

Your Majesty, the little one must be ......

"Ahem, Your Majesty still has half a sentence, I don't understand what it means." Lu Zhengxiang coughed, and I woke up from extreme joy.

"Lord Lu, please speak."

"The premise is, don't send staves to Stalin, your painting is really bad, the staves are crooked, I am ashamed of you when I read it - this is your majesty's original words."
