"The Japanese emperor and his wife have arrived in the imperial capital, how are you going to arrange for them?" In the early spring, the imperial capital already has the fragrant fragrance of flowers and the crisp song of birds, and in the spring imperial garden, Zhang Cheng, who has just had breakfast with the emperor, is accompanying the emperor to visit the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Cheng glanced at Xu Xuan, who was admiring the flowers with the queen, and said with a smile: "The affairs of the royal family should naturally be decided by His Majesty." ”

"Huh." The young emperor lowered his eyelids, and a fierce look flashed in his gaze and then disappeared. The meaning of Zhang Cheng's words is very clear, you can just make up your mind as the emperor about this kind of matter between the royal family, and don't mention other things. How can the emperor, who wants to do something and regain the imperial power that has been lost for many years, accept?

Two outstanding young people with the same strong character and tenacious heart collided together, and they also had vital interests entangled, and it was impossible to coexist peacefully. It's just that both sides are smart and know that it's not the time to turn the other cheek.

"I am going to make the Emperor of Japan the King of Anle and live in the imperial capital for a long time, what do you think?" The Emperor turned his head to look at the plum tree beside him and asked softly.

Although Zhang Cheng said that you are in charge of everything, the emperor is not really stupid and will call the shots himself. He knew very well in his heart that although he had taken back some things, it was the young man in front of him who was in charge of this country.

"It's no problem to be crowned." Zhang Cheng paused slightly, and said with a smile: "But there is no need to move him to the imperial capital." Just let him live in seclusion in Heiankyo, the old capital of Japan. ”

"Wouldn't that be a sign of resistance to the Japanese?" The Emperor frowned slightly, and asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "As long as your own strength is strong, what's the point of the so-called resistance?" Some grasshoppers jump beyond their own strength to make no sense to true power. ”

The emperor was silent, and he felt that there was something else in Zhang Cheng's words. These words are more like saying to yourself.

"Your Majesty." After a moment of silence, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Gao Qi, the commander of the imperial capital garrison, is not young, and he has reached the age of retirement. I think he should retreat in a hurry and hand over the post of commander of the imperial garrison to a more energetic young man. After a pause, he continued, "As for Gao Qi, who can also exert his spare heat for the country, it is not appropriate to retire like this in the war period." The island of New Guinea is very important, and I think General Gao Qi can go there as a garrison commander and also as a governor. ”

"......" the young emperor was even more silent. Lowering his head, his hands hanging down his legs unconsciously clenched into fists. He had just made contact with Gao Qi, and Zhang Cheng actually ......

"Recently, preparations for counteroffensives have been going on on various battlefields, and Your Majesty can go to various battlefields to boost the morale of the army. You can also take a break by the way. Zhang Cheng chuckled and spoke.

"This ......" The emperor looked at Zhang Cheng with some surprise, and opened his mouth not knowing what to say. He himself has always struggled to get in touch with the generals with heavy troops everywhere, because he has not dared to do anything because he is worried that Wang Yan's intelligence system will monitor him. But today, Zhang Cheng took the initiative to let him leave the imperial capital and gave him the opportunity to contact the generals everywhere, how could this not make him tremble?

"Not really, right?" The emperor looked at Zhang Cheng with some embarrassment, trying to see his true intentions from Zhang Cheng's face. It's a pity that Zhang Cheng's face is calm, like a lake, so he can't see anything.

"Nothing bad." Zhang Cheng nodded: "This is what Your Majesty should do." ”

Of course, Zhang Cheng knew what His Majesty the Emperor had done recently. Contact with the commander of the imperial capital garrison was one of them. Wang Yan had succeeded in taking down a henchman who was very trusted by him in the eyes of the emperor. In addition to conventional means, people in this era can naturally see who has the most power between the emperor and Zhang Cheng. Truly foolish people are rare, and the higher the level of education, the less likely they are to be foolish.

Takasaki had been vacillating from side to side during the turbulent period of the imperial capital before, which brought great variables to the turmoil at that time. In Zhang Cheng's eyes, the imperial capital garrison could not be placed in the hands of such a person no matter what.

In order to stabilize the situation before, Zhang Cheng has never touched Gao Qi. But he himself did not know how to advance or retreat, and took the initiative to ask to move his ass to vacate his place. I don't have any eyesight to see that I dare to secretly hook up with the emperor at this time. In this case, how could Zhang Cheng still turn a blind eye?

As for letting the emperor go to various places to express his condolences to the labor army, he was given the opportunity to meet with the generals who held heavy troops everywhere. The main reason is because Zhang Cheng is playing the trick of luring the snake out of the hole.

With the help of the defeat of Japan, Zhang Cheng's prestige and control in the country and the army are increasing day by day. He began to lose patience with the warlords, who were already semi-independent in the colonies. While giving the emperor a chance, he also gave himself the opportunity to find an excuse. Now that you've got a lot of insight into everything, it's a good idea to lure everyone out and catch them all.

As for the emperor, even he could see Zhang Cheng's intentions. But he could not give up this great temptation. The temptation to regain the rights that belonged to the royal family was too great for him. For him, if he can't take back the rights that belong to the royal family, what does it matter to him no matter how powerful the country is? What does it have to do with their old Zhu family?

Only when you are in power can you call yourself an emperor. No matter how small the country is, no matter how few people there are, he is still an emperor.

The young emperor could not resist this temptation directed directly at the heart, and he agreed to Zhang Cheng's request. With his own queen, he began a huge labor army operation. At the same time, he had secret contact with the military leaders everywhere.

The emperor was not at all worried that Zhang Cheng would poison him at such a time, because the cooperation between the two sides was far stronger than the confrontation. It is far from time to turn the other cheek, because there are many, many more enemies in common.

Instead of going to the island of New Guinea to become governor, Takasaki chose to commit suicide. When he was Zhang Yue's confidant, he was tempted and bought by Zhang Cheng. Later, he betrayed Zhang Cheng at a critical moment. After Zhang Yue reached a reconciliation with Zhang Cheng and the emperor, he once again took refuge in Zhang Cheng. But it wasn't long before he was ready to throw himself into the arms of the emperor again. This kind of style of going around is unlikely to be trusted by anyone under any circumstances. Fearing Zhang Cheng's possible punishment, Takasaki finally chose to commit suicide without affecting his family.

It stands to reason that to be able to become Zhang Yue's henchman and serve as the commander of the imperial capital garrison, which can be called the most important place in the world, he Gao Qi will not be such a repetitive figure. Zhang Yue has read countless people in his life and experienced countless winds and waves, so it is impossible to see the wrong person in such an important position.

But in fact, Takasaki was definitely a loyal figure who could not be bought at first. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhang Yue to take a fancy to achieve this position. But people change. What would he think when he had been in the position of commander of the imperial garrison for more than ten years, and knew that he would not have the opportunity to climb any further? Isn't it time to make some plans for your future and for your descendants?

Zhang Yue is old, and there will be a day when he will get old and leave the position of first assistant. When Zhang Cheng, who was handpicked by Zhang Yue as his heir, took the initiative to come to the door, Gao Qi inevitably began to waver. Anyway, Zhang Cheng didn't oppose Zhang Yue, so there was no need for him to continue to insist on something.

After all, Takasaki still has a group of ladies who like the luxurious life of the imperial capital, as well as children who need a bright future. Zhang Yue gave him a lot, but it was not enough. In this capitalist society, you need money, a lot of money, no matter what you do. And very coincidentally, everyone knows that Zhang Cheng is the least bad person on the planet.

A small hole was drilled into the sturdy embankment. From a distance, it seems impossible to find that the embankment is still so strong and magnificent. In reality, however, the pressure of the water has hollowed out the entire levee through this seemingly inconspicuous hole. Then, with a gentle push, the embankment, which looked like a steel and iron skeleton, collapsed.

With the first time, there will be no principles and bottom lines later. Gao Qi gave up his belief and the stimulation brought by Zhang Yue's death made him acceptable to anyone, until Zhang Cheng gave up.

Takasaki's suicide was not revealed, and the publicity was that he died of overwork. As for the position of commander of the imperial capital garrison, it was taken by Lieutenant General Lu Zhiyuan, the son of Zhang Cheng's classmate and chief of general staff of the Ming Army. This is someone Zhang Cheng trusts very much.

It's just that Lu Zhiyuan himself is not very happy to take on this position far from the front line. He was more eager to be able to direct the battle on the front line, rather than drinking tea in the office of the imperial capital. Zhang Cheng deliberately talked to him once, promising that he would definitely let him go to the front line in the future, and the commander of the imperial capital garrison was just a transition.

With the defeat of Japan, the core area of the Ming Dynasty was finally cleared of the imminent threat. The world's leading industrial production capacity began to explode. Countless supplies of all kinds began to be sent to various battlefields in a steady stream. Daming's strategic counteroffensive is about to begin.

On the main battlefield of Russia in the north, the huge armies of the two sides, which combined with tens of millions, faced each other on a long front, and neither of them had the ability to defeat the enemy in a single battle. He Ziqiu himself did not have much willingness to attack, he cherished the power in his hands and was unwilling to consume them on the battlefield.

And Zhang Cheng himself has little interest in fully supporting He Ziqiu and the European coalition forces. Therefore, the spring and summer of 1941 was still the main offensive of the European coalition forces, while the Ming army defended.

In the Pacific, the Navy is still playing the leading role. After successively sweeping the Mariana Islands and Iwo Jima, the Ming Navy has returned to its pre-war posture. While sticking to the strategic core of the Hawaiian Islands, their next target is the United States, which has been outside the battlefield! (To be continued.) )
