Huguang's recent events have made Yu Shenhe not feel comfortable, basically Xu Ping's troubles are not down, Li Dingguo and Yu Shenhe are both people who can't rub sand in their eyes, especially now that Xu Ping's attitude is still tough, then the two of them will naturally not soften.

As for the supplies allocated to Huguang, the DPRK said that Huguang would be less here because of the priority supply of Jianghuai, and Li Dingguo decided that this was an excuse, because the other party implied that if Li Dingguo and Yu Shenhe stuffed red envelopes, then they could squeeze out something from the Jianghuai area to give priority to the supply of Huguang Shunjun. At the beginning, Yu Shenhe thought about his hard-fought subordinates, and he planned to agree, but Li Dingguo said that he didn't agree with anything, he felt that this was the imperial court provoking the relationship between the commanders of the two largest Shun armies, if the Huguang Shun army softened first, then the imperial court could use this to oppress Xu Ping, and even revealed Li Dingguo's stuffing of red envelopes to Xu Ping, resulting in mutual resentment between the commanders of the two Shun armies.

In fact, Li Dingguo's guess is also eight or nine, Niu Jinxing was originally unwilling to see Li Dingguo and Xu Ping always united front, and always let out a nostril after discussing with Xu Ping. The ideal political structure of Ox Venus is star-shaped, and all the local princes are in one-line contact with the imperial court, and they do not communicate with each other, and it is better to hate and fight with each other, so that they can divide and rule; Although many other officials cannot reach the level of loyalty of Niu Jinxing, they have also made up their minds about the alliance of Xu Ping and Li Dingguo, and the collusion of such local powerful factions has been a taboo for the central government since ancient times, and they must break it up no matter what.

Since Li Dingguo's attitude did not soften in the slightest, some people went to Yu Shenhe's work, hinting at him benefits, or threatening him that his courtiers should be loyal to the court and the state rather than friends and righteous - that is, not to follow Xu Ping to engage in non-cooperation. In addition to the Liao Domain, which followed the imperial court, Sun Kewang and Li Chengdong all actively responded to the call of the imperial court and assured the Prime Minister's Mansion that they would never follow Xu Ping to make trouble for the imperial court. In the past, Niu Jinxing was always more worried about Sun Kewang, after all, he had a better relationship with Xu Ping, and it seemed that his friendship was a little deeper than that of Li Dingguo and Xu Ping, but now it turns out that it is Li Laosi who really hates it instead of Sun Laosan.

Yu Shenhe urgently needs more food, weapons and supplementary soldiers, Li Dingguo and Xu Ping are unswerving after ventilating, but Yu Shenhe is a little unbearable, he feels that he might as well retreat a little, anyway, the country is just established, the rights of military generals are still extremely strong, Yu Shenhe feels that civilian officials will inevitably be wary of military generals holding all rights. Now Xu Ping and Li Dingguo's request is reasonable, but Yu Shen secretly pondered, and felt that the civilian officials were likely to feel that the military generals were asking for the right to say nothing under the pretext of anti-corruption, and for Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing, corruption is hateful, but compared to this, the incorruptible and prestigious military generals may be more threatening, especially these military generals with heavy troops have no internal contradictions, and they always fight side by side.

……

Yu Shenhe knew that this Lord Bao Yuanlang was the eldest son of Bao Bowen, a confidant of the Duke of Qi, and he heard that he was also a close subordinate of the Prince of Qi. Once upon a time, the status of these new army generals was like an unattainable cliff to Yu Shenhe, but now the envoy has great respect for him, and it is a completely equal military salute - there is not much difference between the military salute of the new army and the military salute of Shunying.

There is nothing unusual in the challenge book, Yu Shenhe has long been mainly to the Ming army to launch an attack, this time the enemy's offensive is also in his expectation, the other party just sent a notice according to the ancient gift, Yu Shenhe of course will not honestly take the army to the field to fight with the superior enemy army, the other party must not have any hope for this.

"Your Excellency, please be seated." Yu Shenhe read the battle book carefully in front of the other party, and then wrote down the reply of "fighting to the death" with a pen, and then invited the envoy to dinner.

The other party is a general (Huang Naiming gave him the status of a temporary brigadier general before Bao Yuanlang's envoy, and now all walks of life in the Southern Ming Dynasty are becoming more and more proficient in the application of various temporary official titles. ), and from a prominent background, Yu Shenhe thought about it and personally set up a banquet to accompany him.

"The Constituent Assembly has passed a resolution, approved by the ruling minister," Bao Yuenlong deliberately emphasized Huangshi's favor, because he knew that the other party did not know and understand the authority of the Constituent Assembly: "Li Shun's titles are all retained, such as the former governor of Jiangbei, General Yu obtained the title of barony in the Gui Dynasty, and the Duke of Qi and the Constituent Assembly also recognized it." ”

These words made Yu Shenhe sneer, Yu Dong was similar to a clown to the Dashun military, especially Xu Ping's lineage, and Li Zicheng also treated him as a clown, and he was also given a baron before because of his ridiculous imitation of Zhang Hongfan's tablet that won Li Zicheng's laughter, so he casually rewarded Yu Dong with a baron. After Xu Ping withdrew to the south of the Yangtze River, Yu Dong held high the banner of "serving the country with loyalty" and took the lead in participating in the Northern Expedition in Nanjing. In order to buy a bone, and because of encouraging Yu Dong's acquaintance, the Constituent Assembly retained his title, although it cannot be hereditary, but Yu Dong can receive a knighthood from the state during his lifetime. Of course, the main reason for this is that Nan Ming doesn't regard Yu Dong as a threat at all, just like Li Shun, everyone thinks that Yu Dong is a ridiculously incompetent little person, and there will be no desire to clean him up without a threat.

"It turns out that General Bao is here to be Jiang's job." Yu Shenhe said sarcastically, he knew very well what the other party's intention was when he mentioned this.

"Haha," Bao Yuanlang was not very worried about his own safety, Zhou Yu didn't do anything to Jiang back then, and besides, Shunjun has always been a messenger, Xu Ping has a good credit in this regard, but Bao Yuanlang will not clearly admit it: "Thanks to General Yu's hospitality, I just casually talked about Jiangnan affairs." ”

Huang Naiming knew that Yu Shenhe and others hated Jin Qiude and them, so Bao Yuanlang then talked about the personnel changes of the Northern Expeditionary Army, after Huang Naiming returned to Jiangxi to regain control of the first few armies, he cooperated with Huang Shi to transfer the army commander, division commander and various regiment commanders back to Nanjing, this year the Ming army has not made a big move, and there has been no large-scale attack for almost a year, not because Xu Ping guessed to lose his sharpness, but in order to avoid unnecessary defeats after the decline in military strength after drastic personnel transfers, At the same time, it is also to accept more volunteers. And Bao Yuanlang took this opportunity to hint to Yu Shenhe, if he was unhappy in Li Shun and wanted to change the owner, Duke Qi, Qi Shizi and the Constituent Assembly would all meet each other, and Yu Dong's title was retained, is Yu Shenhe still worried about him?

Yu Shenhe listened to Bao Yuanlang's more and more explicit words, so he didn't plan to talk to him anymore: "Your envoy should go and rest, the general still has military affairs, so I won't accompany you." ”

"Our dynasty has announced to the world, Li Shun's existing title is all recognized, this does not stipulate a time limit, even if one day our army is under the Forbidden City, Yu Hou holds a sword to guard the side, as long as Yu Hou is willing to put down the sword in his hand at that time, he still does not lose the position of marquis, that is, your lord, today he is the king of Shun, and my dynasty is also willing to treat each other as a prince......" Bao Yuanlang was still verbose, but Yu Shenhe had already gotten up and left.

……

After returning to Huang Naiming's side, Bao Yuanlang reported what he saw and heard on this trip, and made a judgment on the former: "Yu Shenhe is not as stubborn as Xu Ping and Li Dingguo, and he is already dissatisfied with Li Shun, but he still hates the New Army, and he doesn't trust us. ”

"It's good to be like this, Yu Shenhe, Chen Zhe, and Zhou Dongtian are Xu Ping's right-hand men, and they have won Xu Ping's trust for a long time, and they are not in a hurry." Huang Naiming is still the commander of the Ming army, but he also promoted many people recommended by the Constituent Assembly this time, and after waiting for them to leave, he restored the military judge system in these armies, and also transferred thousands of veterans from the three divisions of parliament, constitution and public servants to be the backbone: "We are ready, this Northern Expedition must take Hunan!" ”

……

Xu Ping's plan was a double surprise attack, first using the first piece to suddenly attack the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then using Li Laiheng's second piece to suddenly attack King Shun, and he also planned to organize dozens of generals and thousands of officers on the front line to jointly protest, not only to completely destroy Li Zicheng's trust in hundreds of officials at one time, but also to make the matter so troubled that it could not be resolved lightly - just hold the monarch's father hostage once, anyway, Xu Ping did not plan to continue to be an official after the Taiping, and he didn't think that Li Zicheng would do anything to himself before the Taiping.

But after much deliberation, Chen Zhe and Zhou Dongtian decided that the matter had to be resolved internally, and both of them believed that a secret compromise with the bureaucracy was necessary even for the sake of Xu Ping's interests. After Zhou Dongtian was persuaded by Chen Zhe, the two decided to go behind Xu Ping's back to improve his political counteroffensive plan, and the thing Xu Ping explained to Zhou Dongtian was to secretly collect the black materials of the inspectors and set a trap to get evidence of their attempt to pervert the law for bribes.

This work will continue Zhou Dongtian, but the purpose is no longer to have a showdown with the Prime Minister's Mansion but to obtain the capital to bargain with Niu Jinxing, as for hinting at the instigation of officers to participate in the joint protest, this matter must be secretly resisted, Chen Zhe and Zhou Dongtian feel that this is too lethal, and it will force the imperial court bureaucracy into a corner with no way out, forcing them to fight hard with Xu Ping - anyway, this matter is Xu Ping asked Chen Zhe and Zhou Dongtian to carry out it secretly, and they can resolve it with a little move of their hands and feet, and Xu Ping can't see it.

Concealing Xu Ping to reduce the power of his attack was the first step, and Chen Zhe was also responsible for going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ventilate and carry out the specific work of bargaining. As long as he got enough evidence, Chen Zhe believed that Niu Jinxing would immediately realize the seriousness of the problem, and the prime minister would not be attacked suddenly, and he would not make a fatal mistake that would cause the conflict to suddenly erupt in front of King Shun.

The last question is Li Laiheng, he is the grandson of Dashun, and he definitely doesn't want Dashun to have a violent shock, even if this shock is Xu Ping's reason. However, Chen Zhe felt that they didn't need to come forward, as long as Xu Ping's plan was revealed to Niu Jinxing, the prime minister would definitely send lobbyists to persuade Li Laiheng to cooperate, and the reason would be something like focusing on the overall situation of the country, civil and military harmony, etc.

Chen Zhe believed that a compromise would eventually be formed in Xu Ping's favor and force the DPRK and China to withdraw their minions that had been extended to the military, and both he and Zhou Dongtian were convinced that this reform plan would be better than Xu Ping's showdown operation, and that the strategy of not losing all or all defeats was too exciting to the heart.

……

As soon as they returned to Yellowstone, Kim and others complained in unison that the power of the Constituent Assembly was too great and that it looked like it could soon get out of control, and they insisted that the Constituent Assembly be restrained and that the arrogance of the doctors should be severely suppressed. Zhao's neutrality became more ambiguous, and he privately told Huangshi that he would unconditionally obey any decision made by Huangshi and would do everything in his power to fulfill any instructions given by Huangshi.

Huang Shi of course expected this, long before the return of the hawks of the Huangshi group, he was annoyed by his wife and sister, as Li Yunrui's mouthpiece, his wife has been crying in front of Huang Shi about the constituent assembly and the War Department's arrogance, and Huang Shi said that they dismissed their son because they were drunkards, not in wine, and Xiang Zhuang was dancing with a sword and aiming at Pei Gong. Huang Shi's wife also complained about this, feeling that the situation was out of Huang Shi's grasp, and a group of villains were stealing the rights of the Huang family, and it was blatantly carried out in broad daylight, which was not like theft but open robbery.

In order to stabilize the back house, Huangshi sacrificed an ingenious plan to successfully stabilize his relatives, and he believed that this plan would definitely be approved by the Huangshi Group.

First, Yellowstone acknowledged that the powers of the Constituent Assembly were somewhat excessive, but he stressed that it was a good tool for collecting taxes and monitoring, and that it would be a shame to discard it just because of some shortcomings. Second, Huang Shi frankly admitted to his brothers that he had initially lacked consideration and had not fully anticipated the rapid expansion of the powers of the Constituent Assembly, but now that the world was not yet unified, it was still too early to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

In order to fully protect the interests of the Yellowstone clique and to limit the power of the Constituent Assembly, Yellowstone proposed that he should establish a parliament that would override the current Constituent Assembly and the future House of Secretaries. In the future, the House of Secretaries of State will be called the House of Commons, and the House of Lords will be the House of Nobles, and only nobles with titles can participate, and Huangshi intends to reward the Yellowstone Group with titles to pave the way for them to enter this House of Lords.

As for the specific rights, Huangshi announced that this upper house has the right to veto the proposal of the lower house, and if the proposal of the lower house is rejected by the upper house, it must be revised again and re-applied, otherwise the ruling minister will not consider it at all. This right sounds quite exciting to the people of the Huangshi Group, Jin Qiude, Li Yunrui and others all feel that after researching, the gang of people in the lower courtyard are the Monkey King who can't jump out of the palm of the Buddha's hand, of course, they immediately asked Huangshi to ensure that this upper house is firmly controlled in the hands of the group.

Yellowstone generously complied with their request, saying that the upper house would not need to be elected, and that seats could be considered hereditary or elected by a small group of knights. Moreover, Yellowstone also promised not to abuse the title, he announced that he would give up the right to appoint hereditary nobles alone after a period of time, and only had the right to appoint non-hereditary barons, and anyone who wanted to obtain a hereditary title needed to be supported by the noble council, that is, the House of Lords, and then report to Yellowstone for approval.

This statement undoubtedly satisfied the people of the Huangshi Group, and it sounded like the supreme power of the country could be kept in the hands of them and their children and grandchildren forever, and there was even a further benefit - depriving Huangshi of the right to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Even if they were dissatisfied with Huangshi before, seeing that the other party had given up so many rights so selflessly, and shared the world, wealth and power with the old brothers wholeheartedly, everyone suddenly became very moved.

Of course, in the end, Huang Shi made a trivial request - when the House of Lords rejected the House of Commons for the first, second and third times, Huang Shi and his future successors would support the House of Lords and ignore the House of Commons' request, but if the House of Secretaries passed the same proposal for the fourth time, they could directly submit the proposal to the country's supreme ruler for review. The so-called matter is not more than three, the upper house cannot completely obscure the royal power, and the supreme ruler has the final judgment on the proposals passed by the lower house four times in a row.

This small request is too inconspicuous compared to the rights that Huangshi promised to the Huangshi group, Jin Qiude and others take it for granted and are simply too benevolent, of course the nobles can't completely make decisions for the emperor, there will never be any emperor in China who will tolerate their rights being completely hijacked and occupied by the aristocratic group, this condition is taken for granted by the people of the Huangshi group, if there is no this, they will worry that Huangshi will cancel this promise in the future, It's that Huangshi has been kind to the end in his life (they don't think Huangshi is such a person.) Sooner or later, the heirs of Yellowstone will have to regain some rights because they can't bear it.

In Huangshi's view, the hereditary position of the legislator will become less and less authoritative as the election becomes more and more popular, and sooner or later it will evolve to the point where the power of the House of Commons completely overpowers the House of Lords. As the media becomes more and more developed, even if the House of Commons already has absolute authority, and the proposal is rejected by the House of Lords once or twice, the people will be curious about what kind of reasons the House of Lords is vetoing the proposals of the House of Commons, and if the House of Lords vetoes three times in a row, most of the House of Lords, which is also exposed to the media and the world, will also have considerable weighty reasons, and these reasons will attract attention and force the House of Representatives to consider revising the shortcomings in the proposals. This is a further decentralization of the constitutional oversight system and is equivalent to adding an additional fuse.

As for the first assistant, the head of the House of Commons is automatically appointed, and the Yellowstone clique has not yet realized that this position will one day surpass the authority of the king, but Yellowstone has overestimated their political acumen, so he has prepared a pacification apparatus for this as well—or a means to paralyze the Yellowstone clique.
