Chapter 22 The heart of the old man is changeable

He Xi said, "Is this your own idea?"

Lu Zhongheng said, "It can be said that it is. But I also got some guidance from old friends. Lord He, you are generous, you want to leave a name in history. But you don't think that there are many people whose futures will also change because of you. For example, Ye Shen. I can be sure that Ye Shen is stunned, the day you lose power will be the time when he will lose his life."

He Xi secretly said in his heart, "Is it Yao Guangxiao?"

He Xi felt that the person who pointed out Lu Zhongheng was none other than Yao Guangxiao.

Lu Zhongheng used Ye Shen as an example, which is a bit extreme. But it is also He Xi's heart disease.

Ye Shen represents He Xi in charge of the world's military power. Of course, He Xi gave Zhu Xiongying some of the military power in this world, but most of it was still in He Xi's hands. Ye Shen is the representative of He Xi's military power. He Xi left the center of power.

Zhu Xiongying decided not to allow Ye Shen to control the army.

At that time, the seizure of power will probably not be so warm. It is normal to go to prison and be sentenced to death.

Not for anything else. For some, as long as he's alive, it's a big problem. Especially this kind of handsome minister who has proven himself on the battlefield, it is impossible to overestimate such an influence.

Killing, is the most thorough solution.

But it is also the most convenient solution, and it will be the most convenient solution in the future.

Ye Shen is just one of them, and there are many people behind him who follow He Xi.

Many of these people didn't care too much about He Xi's retirement, such as Yang Shiqi. Although it is said that He Xi retreated, it had an impact on Yang Shiqi. But Yang Shiqi was born as a scholar and was also a civil official, as a financial manager.

Throughout the Civil War, He Xi formulated fiscal policies, and Yang Shiqi implemented them. Such a talent is not a threat to the throne, and it may be possible to be a first assistant in the future. But those who are in the army and on the intelligence front are not easy to say.

Needless to say, in the army. The artifact of military power in the world is also. Do not fall into the hands of others.

He Xi also knew that it would be difficult for the future Ming Emperor to maintain military influence. In the arrangement of military power, some military nobles were arranged to support it. After all, the age of firearms has greatly reduced the ability to rebel below.

Don't worry too much about the general's rebellion.

This line of thinking cannot be said to be wrong. But Ye Shen, the first person in the army who is obviously not his own person, is not suitable for the imperial court.

In addition, in the intelligence front, Yao Guangxiao has done too many things, none of which can be seen in the light, and he has also seen a lot of black material about Zhu Xiongying, if he loses power. It will definitely be liquidated in the future.

He Xi really wanted to say, I will arrange it. But when he said this, he couldn't say it.

Arrangement? How is it arranged? Ask for some guarantees from Zhu Xiongying. But He Xi understands very well that these guarantees are useless. No matter how naïve He Xi is, he will not believe this.

Suddenly, He Xi lost the idea of speaking.

Maybe it would be a good way to let the foreign surname Xungui have a fief overseas, and he will take his team directly to the fiefdom. In this way, everyone's safety is guaranteed. He Xi is still young, even if he starts over and establishes an overseas city, it is not a difficult thing to do.

Compared with this benefit, many other disadvantages cannot be said for a while.

He Xi said, "I don't count this matter. Your Majesty has to nod your head."

Lu Zhongheng was overjoyed and said, "Don't worry, my lordship, I will tell your majesty where you are."

For Zhu Xiongying to agree, Lu Zhongheng is very sure. After all, for Zhu Xiongying today, what is the biggest thing? Where is He Xi completely accepting the power, before this one thing, other things can be let go.

In order to take over power from Cixi, Guangxu wanted to build a Summer Palace for Cixi. Now, in order to let He Xi give up power and give him a fief, what is there not to do.

Even Zhu Xiongying wished to be like this.

Even if Lu Zhongheng can facilitate this, it can be regarded as a good thing for His Majesty

Margin. For future generations, the well-being has been left behind.

He Xi said, "Also, even if Your Majesty nods, the Lu family's fief can't be in Xinzhou, and they have to go to other places to choose."

Lu Zhongheng was stunned, but he could only nod yes.

-------

Lu Zhongheng then asked to see Zhu Xiongying. Just as Lu Zhongheng expected. Zhu Xiongying pondered for a while, and then immediately agreed.

After all, this is also a good thing for him.

Without him, once this matter is finalized, it is destined to Zhu Xiongying's power to rise sharply, economics is the study of expectations, and the same is true in politics, if it is said that He Xi said that he left office at the end of his term, many people still don't believe it. But now, Zhu Xiongying has broken the rule of being crowned king with a different surname.

It's hard to tell the story anymore.

For Zhu Xiongying, this thing is not a loss.

He even prepared to seal a few, and several high-ranking generals who followed He Xi among the generals were all sealed out and followed He Xi together. In this way, he will be able to directly control the power of the world.

Zhu Xiongying even specially revealed this meaning to Lu Zhongheng, and asked Lu Zhongheng to convey it to He Xi.

After He Xi knew about this incident, it was hard to say what it felt like.

He secretly said in his heart, "What kind of great light have I created?"

He Xi worked hard to push the Ming Dynasty here, and it was already difficult for He Xi to move forward again. After all, it takes time to develop, and when the time matures further in the future, He Xi is likely to be gone.

There are a large number of feudal remnants in the Ming Dynasty, and many things have not been resolved. I can only barely get by.

The strength of all aspects will not be stable and balanced, I don't know what will happen, and even He Xi feels that if he goes back to a few hundred years later, the future history of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be wonderful enough. I don't know how many people made the show.

The original Confucian restorationists, the old school, the aristocratic vassal kings with real power, the big merchants, the new civil bureaucrats, and so on.

Each has its own interests, and no one can have a complete advantage, even the emperor himself.

After all, He Xi didn't draw from a blank sheet of paper by himself. China's thousands of years of history, and the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yuanzhang has established, many times can't let He Xi do whatever he wants. Had to compromise, folded.z.

Now He Xi suddenly felt that if he started again on a blank piece of paper, it might not be a good thing.

And if he goes to the domain, he will not be alone.

will take away a large number of talents, as well as the technology tree that He Xi has climbed for so many years. It's not like starting from scratch either.

In an instant, He Xi had a lot of interest.

It's just that where is it? He Xi didn't think about it for a while. But this one thing has to be put aside for now.

After all, Zhu Xiongying gave He Xi a new job.

That is to re-establish the heroes of Longwu.

In fact, the heroes of Longwu Quelling the Rebellion have already been determined.

Even many people already know what title they want to make, but it will only be announced at the national conference. Now Zhu Xiongying's idea has directly made this matter make another wave. He Xi had to overturn many people's rewards.

Here's the problem.

To reward so many people all over again is to relive everyone's rewards.

Because the reward is the same thing as giving out a bonus, which is the most problematic place. Many relationships in the military have fallen out because of this incident. Don't be a feudal society anymore. Even when the founding of the country was conferred in later generations, didn't it also do a lot of things?

Human nature is all the same.

He Xi's reward plan before cannot be said to be exhaustive, but most people have taken care of it. Everyone was barely satisfied. Now, all the work has to be done all over again.

He Xi couldn't help it.

He can only fall into the busy work again, and he must get all this done well before the Dingguo is meeting.

------

That's it, in Ho Xi's

Busy. People from all walks of life came to the city of Nanjing from all directions.

The city of Nanjing was crowded, and even during the imperial examination, it was not as lively as it is today.

After all, every year during the imperial examination, although there are many scholars, even if they are lifted, there are not many followers. But none of the people who could be invited to the conference this time were simple. The vassal kings of various countries did not come here just for a meeting.

One more thing to do. That is the payment of tribute.

This incident is also explained in He Xi's original formulation of the charter. On the one hand, this required the vassal state to have financial obligations to the imperial court. On the other hand, it is also to establish more connections between the imperial court and vassal states.

It's just that when Zhu Yuanzhang was there, he didn't care much about this matter, and then it was a battle between the north and the south. In the war between the north and the south, many vassal kings, even if they took sides, did not care too much about the so-called tribute.

This is no longer the case.

The vassal kings seemed to remember this in an instant.

Moreover, almost all feudal kings went into business directly to subsidize their military finances.

Therefore, when they came over this time, they not only brought some of their own guards, but also brought a lot of caravans, and it didn't look like it was bustling. There are even many people who are not allowed to enter Beijing and can only stay outside Nanjing.

Moreover, other ministers and local powerful people from all over the world are not ordinary people. Just like the Mu family in Yunnan, this time Mu Chun has the intention of moving, and brought the Mu family's family in Yunnan over, and the old elders of the team have grown.

Such as Mu Chun, it is not an exception. So, when these people arrived in Nanjing, Nanjing was not very lively.

Moreover, Dingguo will be very lively, and naturally there are many people who want to see the direction of the imperial court and come uninvited. Nanjing's liveliness is almost rare in recent years. It's also a very common thing.

It can be regarded as peace after the war, and many needs have recovered explosively.

In the midst of this prosperity, it is time for the Dingguo Association to open.
