Chapter 616: The Faint King's Embattled
Li Xi began to be restless again, last year because of gambling in Luzon, but now because the country is starting to get out of his control.
"Your Majesty, is the itinerary of Guozijian and Qingpu Shipyard going to change in the afternoon? The court has already notified the pro-military division. ”
Yang Shi, the secretary of the inner court, has been transferred to the secretary and supervisor of the central court, and Li Shi now has two personal secretaries, one literary and one martial. Wu is Sanniang, Siniang and Baoyin and others in shifts, and Wen is six cars.
It was six cars who spoke, she arranged the daily itinerary instead of Yang Shi, today Li Shi was restless, the morning itinerary was canceled, and she came to clarify the arrangements for the afternoon.
Li Xian hesitated slightly, listening to this tone, I won't be able to be a person if I don't go? Dare to love this emperor, is it your little girl's horse boy?
Looking up, the corners of Li Xian's eyes jumped even more, yo ho, thin Shi Fandai, willow eyebrows like the moon, she is really not a little girl, she didn't dress up so hard in the past, is it ...... Li Xi asked: "Which young man did you fall in love with?" ”
Liuche pouted: "Official, people are not little girls anymore......"
Some details that he didn't pay much attention to on weekdays flashed in his mind, and Li Shi frowned: "Yang Shi? ”
Six cars bow their heads and their feet are circled.
Li Xian's heart suddenly rose: "Don't you just think about Brother Bing on weekdays?" Wu Ya, you are too fierce, Luo Tangyuan, you are too oily, Yu Hanyi, you are too cold, Zhao Hanxiang, you are too strong, Yang Tangcheng is too stuffy, and the Meng brothers are too simple. My disciple, you have picked it all over, and you can't even do it without a master. That's it, the guards and the pro-army are changing one by one, and you are picking and picking, but you don't see one! Now you suddenly turn your head to the scholar, what are you going to make trouble with the six cars!? ”
The six cars were so frightened that their livers were pounding, how could the official family count their own thoughts? What kind of fuss is this?
Li Xian turned his head and began to curse his heart, "You change people with your mind, and you don't allow me to change your itinerary with your mind?" How do I discipline the inner court and the middle court on weekdays? Don't be an official! Don't take it as if you have the power in your hands! Don't be me, this emperor can be rubbed by others! ”
The voice is getting higher and higher, the head of the six cars is getting lower and lower, and when he heard the last sentence, his knees were even weaker, and he knelt on the ground.
Seeing Liuche's sincere and frightened appearance, Li Xi felt that he was right, and his anger was even stronger: "Yuyou regards you as a sister, and I also treat you as a little sister, you don't know how to respect yourself." ”
Why do people have broken mouths, because they don't consider the mood of the listeners, Li Xian became more and more energetic, and the six cars were pressed to the ground a little bit, and he secretly screamed in his heart, should he finally say, "Come on, drag out and die!" ”
Li Xi is not a crazy person, of course he would not come to such a sentence, but when he said that later, he really had the intention of degrading the six cars, and was about to spit out another crisp voice: "Official, the concubine has something to say." ”
It's Siniang, who was on duty in the government hall just now, and when she came back, she saw Li Xi scolding the six cars.
Li Xian's nose erupted with fire: "What do you have to say?" Say! ”
Siniang took a deep breath, and then said timidly: "The official family is now like a faint king." ”
Liuche Xing's eyes were round, and he jumped up, covering Siniang's mouth, wanting to stuff the words back.
Of course, it was late, and the atmosphere in the government hall was extremely cold, only Li Xian's angry snort echoed in the ears of the two mothers.
"I will scold and scold people, and if I scold people, I will become a faint king, and what emperor in thousands of five thousand years is not a faint king!?"
Li Shi roared quickly, and felt that the two girls were deliberately mischievous with him today, and it seemed that they were spoiled by themselves.
Siniang pulled away Liuche's hand and bowed her head and continued: "The official family said that Liuche was treated as a little sister, but just now, all the words of the official family were medie. The official family used to say that if a person always emphasizes his position of power and forgets that he is a person, then he is not far from being deaf. ”
Li Xian, these "pillow winds" are indeed blown by him. In particular, they should pay attention to the fact that once they are full of mouths on weekdays, they have to be reminded out loud.
Liuche retorted in a low voice on the side: "Aren't we going up and down for three thousand years? When was it 5,000 years? ”
Siniang's exhortation, the six cars of the muddy, the anger of Li Xi suddenly waved away, thinking that after receiving the emergency from the southeast and northwest in the morning, it was difficult to stabilize the mood, and he was angry on the body of the six cars, Li Xi smiled bitterly.
It's easy to know the limits of your ability, but it's really hard to keep your heart.
Emperor Li Xi knocked the emperor down from the throne, but he held the weight of power, except for powerful emperors such as the First Emperor and Zhu Yuanzhang, almost no one can compare. Out of his own ideals, his own cognition, he promoted Huaxia Dingge, and kept calm about how to use the power in his hands, but he was not a saint after all, he was called the emperor for more than five years, and the emperor's qi finally came to his body, like an all-pervasive invisible snake, seizing a small opportunity to devour his heart. …,
"At first, I only used the word "I" in public, but now it is indeed often on my lips, and if I continue like this, I will call myself in my head, how long will it take?"
Li Xian felt extremely touched in his heart, this matter should make him more anxious.
Seeing Li Xian's eyes fluttering, Siniang and Liuche panicked, and when he was really angry, Siniang began to pull out the shield: "Yes, it is the master who said that if the official family loses his temper, he will be advised like this, not that Siniang deliberately wants to annoy the official family......"
The tone of begging for mercy made Li Xian laugh secretly, Siniang still knew the limit of her ability, only Sanniang had such a heart.
In the morning, I pushed the itinerary in a daze, and Sanniang went on her behalf, can I only rely on Sanniang to remind myself? What did Sanniang go to see? It seems to be a very important thing, wait, the limit of ability, Li Xi waved his sleeves at the two girls, signaling that it was okay, but his eyes continued to flutter. Siniang and Liuche quietly stepped aside, knowing that the emperor had begun to Zhuang Zhou Mengdie again.
Limits of Ability......
Li Shi sank into the big sofa and let out a long breath.
That's right, I overestimated the limits of my ability, and I was a person, not a god
How can it be possible to control the general trend of history in hand? And the reason why I am anxious is that I am more and more substituted for the role of the emperor, and even the role of a saint, and I have too high requirements for myself, and every change that does not suit my own will make me feel depressed and uneasy, which accumulates little by little into anxiety.
Carrying a responsibility beyond the reach of power is the beginning of idealism, but it is a road to destruction.
Thinking back again, Li Xian thought of Yinghua by himself. Is this country seemingly besieged on all sides the same thing as the state of mind that involuntarily carries too much responsibility, and what role does it play in it?
Thinking of what kind of responsibility he should take for the current situation, Li Shi's back began to sweat.
No, you have to do the math......
After sinking his mind, Li Xi began to analyze the current situation of Yinghua on all sides.
Is the matter of Jiangnan in the north directly promoted by yourself?
Of course not, it was Yongzheng who made a big deal of trouble in the north and gradually moved towards a closed road, which caused the trade between Yinghua and the north to be greatly affected. Li Xian thought that he could use force to intimidate Yongzheng to open the country. Unexpectedly, the stubbornness of the people of Dinghai made both the north and the south have their own new understanding of the affairs of the south of the Yangtze River.
Yongzheng felt that he could still bargain and fish in troubled waters, and at the same time, he also used the Jiangnan incident to resolve the contradictions in other countries and stabilize the authority he had gained through the literary disaster. Yinghua Industry and Commerce rose up to set foot in the south of the Yangtze River and pour commercial goods and capital.
In the Jiangnan matter, Li Shi gave himself a score of 60, and the reason why he was qualified was that he was still able to stabilize and not break the national policy of "first the south and then the north".
Then there was the matter of Ryukyu in the east, and Xiao Sheng's team led the fleet to Ryukyu, but it was not Li Xi's "greed".
After Luzon and Fujian were in their hands, the two maritime trade routes were in the hands of Yinghua. One is from Hoi An to Guangzhou, then to Ryukyu, and finally to l day I. The other is from Luzon to Yuegang in Fujian, then to Ryukyu, and finally to the 1st of the day.
The route from Ryukyu to l day I Ben, although it was also run by the people of the I country in l before, they basically only ate downstream profits, and there was not much threat to the Ryukyuan people and l day I himself. Now, after the integration, the Anglo-Chinese maritime merchants have a growing desire to control the route from Ryukyu to the Ryukyu Iben. In the Ryukyus, there were frequent incidents, and Xiao Sheng took the team to the Ryukyus to "completely quell" these "incidents".
Pulling up the radish and pulling up the vine, l day I was so involved, at this time, although the Ryukyus still maintained the name of the tributary domain with the Manchu Qing, but in essence it was already a vassal of the l day I Honsatsuma domain. In 1609, the Shimazu family sent 3,000 troops to land in the Ryukyus and captured the king of the Ryukyus to the Edo shogunate.
However, everyone is not familiar with the concept of "the vassal of the Honsatsuma Domain on the day of l-ri, and the series of troubles that Xiao Sheng encountered in Ryukyu were all related to this matter, so he had to keep a fleet in Ryukyu all the time, and even took the right division of the Yulin Army.
What's going on in Malacca to the south? Substantial progress has been made in the "l-I-Hong Kong" plan, which was promoted by Popper, the envoy of the British East India Company. In order to promote the trade between the British East India Company and the countries of China, and at the same time compete with the Dutch for the sea routes in Southeast Asia, Popper, on behalf of the "port foot faction" of the British East India Company, worked closely with the Anglo-South Ocean Company and successfully established a trading post in Malacca. Malacca, which had earlier served as a bridgehead for the Portuguese invasion of Southeast Asia, was driven out by the Dutch and was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Sultanate of Johor. However, the Dutch were only coachmen on the sea, did not understand the strategy of the sea routes, and only used it as the seat of the colonial administration, and after the importance of Batavia's governance surpassed that of Malacca, it was no longer a Dutch land. …,
If it was just the Britons entering Malacca, the Dutch would not react much, after all, the Anglo-Dutch relationship was quite close at this time. However, the British East India Company's port foot faction was not strong enough to develop Malacca alone. If the Hong Kong foot faction wants to sail to China I country on its own, it needs to have a foothold in the Malay Strait, and the Anglo South Ocean Company is strong and wants to contract the trade route of China I country out of Asia and open a door in the Malay Strait, but it can't ask for it.
The two sides hit it off, which angered the Dutch, who were originally wary of the Anglo-Chinese occupation of Borneo and Luzon one after another, and of course, the attempt to fill the gap in the power of the Spaniards was defeated by the armies of the two colonial companies of Anglo-Chinese Luzon and Boni, and the Dutch were even more resentful.
The situation in Malacca began to become tense, and Xiao Sheng rushed back from Ryukyu to gather the main naval force at Eagle Yang Harbor in order to deal with this situation.
With the Britons buffering in the middle, the situation was not too urgent, but the worst thing was that there was still trouble in the west of the Anglo-Chinese.
With the help of the British and Chinese, Siam and Lanna have fought a bloody battle against Burma, which has not only lost most of the newly seized land, but also threatened the mainland.
The Burmese were anxious, and the Burmese king turned to the two East India companies of Britain and France, which had branches in the country. The exact circumstances of the negotiations were unclear, but the French missionaries in Quang Nam claimed that the British East India Company was more likely to get the "deal."
Myanmar is linked to Malacca, and things are very complicated. For this reason, Yinghua had to strengthen its forces in Yunnan and at the same time strengthen its support for Siam.
Calmly examining the troubles in the east, west, north, and south, Li Xi once again strengthened his conviction that this was not his personal great joy, but an inevitable reflection of the British and Chinese national strength, which constantly broke through the original pattern of power and wanted to readjust the situation of forces on all sides.
Although it is not his own responsibility, it is his responsibility as a leader to deal with these troubles on all sides, so that a country can suffer the least loss and gain the most.
When the train of thought came to this, Li Xian sighed, as long as he had a little strategic vision, he would do his best
Choose.
The soil in the north can be fought over slowly, anyway, it is in your own bowl, and the benefits of the east can also be slowed down, it is in the plate, but the benefits of the south and west are in the pot, everyone is talking about it, and you must not take a step back. The opponents on these two sides are also thriving, and if you take a step back today, you may have to pay ten times as hard as today to regain this step on another day.
But the situation in Jiangnan has come to this point, if you want to stop the pace, can you follow the contradictions in the country? Do you want to use some imperial technique to throw out who is a black cauldron?
Li Xian hesitated, and his mind turned back to the two girls who were cowering.
"Where did Sanniang go?"
Li Xi asked casually, his mind was mixed just now, and this thought was still in his mind.
"Didn't Niangniang go to Dongguan on behalf of the official family to check the progress of the special project?"
Liuche hurriedly reported that this was arranged by her own hands.
"Special Project ......"
Li Xi didn't care about today's itinerary, and when he heard this term, his brows jumped.
"Isn't it Huang Zhuo's steam engine, saying that it has been successful, please go and see it."
Liuche replied aggrievedly, he was really a faint gentleman, and he didn't remember anything.
"Steam engine...... It's done? ”
Li Yan was in a trance, really?
