Zhou Pu's suggestion was very appetizing to him, and he risked his life and led his troops north to Kyoto, Japan, which can show that this young official is brave and resourceful; Second, in front of the soldiers who advocated aggression and courage, this young man also greatly earned a face for the cabinet.

"The prime minister praised ......" Zhou Pu laughed embarrassedly, "Xia Guan just thinks that this move is more beneficial to the emperor's plan, and he doesn't mean to be in the limelight alone......"

"Hey, don't be so modest, what's the point of saying these polite words?" Finance Minister Chen Hong waved his hand, "Young man, just have some spirit, what's wrong with being in the limelight?" You're welcome! Without this energy, how can you do great things? ”

Under the praise of the prime minister and the finance minister, Zhou Pu lowered his head embarrassedly, but his heart was full of excitement, and he was very happy for his clever performance just now.

He bet right, the supplementary plan he proposed is not only for the emperor's appetite, but also for the prime minister's appetite, with the approval of these two people, as long as he completes his mission, then his future will be truly blossoming.

Of course, the premise is that he must be able to complete his mission.

"Your plan, bold, this is an advantage and a disadvantage." Sure enough, after the prime minister finished praising him, the conversation suddenly changed again, "If you want to get things done, it's not enough to have courage, you have to be patient and careful, and you have to be smart and resourceful, these things are not easy to have, after you leave Beijing, you must guard against arrogance and rashness, and don't forget to calm down in everything!" ”

"Prime Minister Xie Cheng's teachings, the lower officials understand!" Zhou Pu hurriedly responded.

"Director Kong, then you can arrange more competent people for him, although Zhihe is brave and resourceful, but after all, he is alone, and he still needs someone to help......" The prime minister explained to Kong Zhang again.

"Prime Minister and rest assured, Xia Guan has already told Zhou Pu that his trip to Japan is very important, and our Foreign Affairs Department will do our best to cooperate, what he lacks, as long as we have it, we will make up for it all!" Kong Zhang immediately made a guarantee, "If he wants someone, you can just pick it from the company!" ”

"You have a heart, Director Kong." Finance Minister Chen Hong said with a smile, "Originally, I still had some doubts about the conquest of Japan this time, but when I attended the meeting today, hey, now my heart is full of confidence!" There are so many capable and brave civil servants and martial artists in our court, and they are united in their hearts and minds, are they afraid that there is anything that cannot be done? ”

Then, he smiled again, "Since the problem of fighting against Japan has been solved, what about it...... It's time to talk about Japan's post-war disposition, and the emperor is now asking everyone to adjourn the meeting, I'm afraid that the next time is also to talk about this post-war disposition, right? ”

With his profound words, the expressions of several people in the tea room became inexplicably solemn. Especially Zhou Pu and Kong Zhang, because they didn't have much confidence in their hearts, they were a little nervous.

"Oh, looks like the prime minister has already told the two of you, right?" Seeing the expressions of the two people, the prime minister already had a rough idea in his heart, "That's right, we will talk about the terms of peace talks with the Japanese shogunate, Japan's arrangements after the war, and the disposal of Japan's gold and silver mines after the war." ”

After taking a sip of tea, he continued, "The terms of peace talks between the Japanese shogunate and the arrangements of post-war Japan, this issue can be discussed slowly in the hall, anyway, it is nothing more than reparations and checks and balances, but the disposal of Japanese gold and silver mines is a very important issue, because gold and silver mines are a very huge wealth, no matter which side it disposes of, it must be carefully discussed...... The Minister of Finance just talked to you about it, right? Do you understand what he means? ”

"It's almost clear that the Minister of Finance means that the imperial court will be responsible for controlling these gold and silver mines, so that the imperial court can control this huge source of wealth." Kong Zhang hurriedly replied.

"That's right, it's not just the opinion of the finance minister alone, it's also mine." The prime minister nodded very dryly, "Speaking of which, this is actually a matter of course, right?" The cabinet is the imperial court, which is responsible for the national economy and people's livelihood in the world, and it can be said that it has a heavy responsibility on its shoulders. For example, although it is almost peaceful today, but to be honest, it is still a waste to be revived, and it is still far from the prosperity of the prosperous era, and the financial use is even more embarrassing, I don't know how many places need to spend money! In this case, after defeating Japan, why not use these wealth to be used by the cabinet to relieve the difficulties of the world? It's just...... The new dynasty system is special, and what was originally taken for granted is not so taken for granted now! ”

In front of the three ministers who also belonged to the cabinet, the prime minister did not have so many scruples, and said his thoughts with a wry smile. "The world says that I am the number one believer of the Son of Heaven and the head of the imperial cabinet, which can be described as infinitely beautiful, but in fact, how many people can understand the difficulties and troubles!"

This kind of complaint-style statement made Kong Zhang and Zhou Pu feel slightly empty in their hearts, and no one dared to speak. But they all knew in their hearts that the prime minister was actually lamenting that the separation of civil and military affairs from the Han Dynasty was so powerful that he, the chief auxiliary minister of the cabinet, did not have much control over the army, but was afraid that they would snatch away the source of benefits that he thought the imperial court deserved.

After a short sigh, he seemed to come back to his senses, and laughed again, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, the emperor's trust and reliance on the cabinet is obvious to the world, and because of the lessons of the previous Ming, the separation of civil and military officials cannot be said to be wrong...... It's just that this separation, sometimes everyone is not of the same mind, and it is not so convenient to do things......"

"Oh, Prime Minister, just say it!" Finance Minister Chen Hong is an old brother, so he has no scruples, and simply said directly, "There is nothing bad to say about this, that's right, we are going to take Japan's gold and silver mines into the hands of the cabinet after the war, and the military cooperates best, if we don't cooperate, we must cooperate with the military!" ”

"Everyone is a courtier of the Han Dynasty, and they should be based on harmony, so some things are not so harsh." The prime minister waved his hand and motioned to the finance minister to slow down, "Prime minister, I also know that you think the country's financial plans are difficult, so you are a little anxious, but don't speak so straightforwardly, lest the military think that we are deliberately targeting them." ”

"I'm sometimes a bit straighter, and you don't know it." The minister smiled nonchalantly, "I made it clear to them just now about the specific things, and the two of them agreed with me." By the way, you just met with the emperor and mentioned this matter to the emperor, right? ”

"Well, it's already mentioned." The prime minister nodded.

"Then what did the emperor say?" Chen Hong was a little nervous and hurriedly asked.

"The emperor seems to be in a good mood and does not disagree with our opinion." After pondering for a moment, the prime minister said with some caution, "He said that he could participate in the study in detail at the meeting." ”

"Isn't it a sign that we can participate in the study in detail?" The prime minister of finance was much happier than the prime minister, and laughed directly, "Ha, it seems that this palace is really useful!" Okay, I'll go to a few other cabinet ministers who are here, and we, the Cabinet, will talk about it together! Build up the momentum first, so that it is convenient for the emperor to agree! ”

"It should be said, but the emperor said that he was participating in research, not just doing it, so ...... There may also be some variables. The prime minister was still muttering, "If there are other opinions from the military at the meeting, it will be difficult to say." ”

"What's so good to say and not to say? We are thinking about the country and the emperor, are we afraid that there is anything bad to say? Chen Hong immediately asked, "We are not doing this to refute the face of the military, if they oppose it, they have to come up with a reasonable reason?" The country's financial difficulties and the need to develop financial resources, what's wrong? The military takes so much budget from the state every year, and even the rewards are taken from us, and every single one of them is considered real money, what have we said? Haven't you scraped together the money every year to satisfy their appetite? Since we have satisfied their appetite every year, what else do they have to say, they can't ask for money from us again, and refuse to expand the financial resources of the imperial court, right? ”

"That's really the truth......"

"Since that's the truth, what are you afraid of?" The finance minister immediately intercepted the conversation, "As long as the people in our cabinet are united and have a common opinion, then even if they have strange words, they can't make a sense, right?" Okay, okay, I'll go to meet with the people from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs later, and everyone will finalize this matter together, so as not to waste more time! ”

"Okay, okay......" Seeing that the prime minister was so active, the prime minister didn't hesitate for a while, "Just do it, as long as the cabinet has a voice, this matter is on our side, and the emperor is also sage, so he should also agree to us......"

Then, he turned his head to look at Zhou Pu. "Zhihe, now you know what the cabinet means, right? I was very satisfied with your idea just now, do you know why? ”

"Please make it clear!" Zhou Pu hurriedly asked.

"The plan you gave was for you to lead people north from Kyushu Island, land in Honshu and then march into Kyoto, Japan, and if it happens, the Japanese Imperial Family will fall into our hands. After the war, there will be no more dominance of the Japanese shogunate, no matter how it is handled, the Japanese court is a usable puppet that we can push out, and if you hold them in your hands, you will have the right to govern Japan, not only for the Japanese, but also for the imperial court, so ...... You want the Japanese Imperial Family to obey the will of the Cabinet, understand? ”
