Chapter 28 The old nobles restore power
Chapter 28 �
To be honest, Jiajing never thought that Zhou Mengchen could achieve this level. Although the court still had some problems today, through several major wars, the Ming Dynasty re-established the management power of the Nuergandusi and became the current Nuergan Province. The southern Xinjiang was also under the management of the Ming Dynasty.
Add to Shanghai's foreign territory.
It is to be honest that except for the Myanmar region, the Annan region has not restored its influence to the beginning of the country. The territory of the Ming Dynasty has reached its peak.
This is something that Jiajing never thought of.
Jiajing asked himself, he could never do this when he controlled the government. No matter how many achievements Zhou Mengchen made, he was all under Jiajing's name. It can be said that relying solely on these achievements.
In the future, if Jiajing’s posthumous title is given to him, there will be no problem with the Emperor Shizu.
It is just a capable minister who governs the world and a hero who is in troubled times, sometimes they are just a line between them. Jiajing does not trust Zhou Mengchen's beliefs.
Jiajing's contradictory mentality towards Zhou Mengchen was not only true, but also the thought of immortality in his heart.
Yes, the older he is, the more Jiajing knows, the more he may not be able to achieve immortality. But the more he cannot achieve it, the more he thinks. The more he thinks, the more resentment he has in his heart. Yes, under the guidance of Zhou Mengchen's scientific thought, the medical skills of the Ming Dynasty have made great progress.
Although qualified surgeons are still very scarce these days. However, this scarcity is relative. Generally speaking, there are one or two doctors who can perform venting surgery in most cities.
Blood transfusion has also become a very mature method. Although there is still a certain proportion of people who die of coagulation every year. They cannot be used without critical symptoms.
Most terminal illnesses gradually become curable.
However, the organ transplant that Jiajing expected was still flowers in the mirror and moon in the water. I had done countless animal experiments, but none of them survived.
Now, looking forward to the so-called way of immortality is even more vain.
It would be strange if Jiajing was completely satisfied with Zhou Mengchen.
Even as Jiajing felt death getting closer and closer to him, his resentment towards Zhou Mengchen became heavier and heavier.
In fact, deep down, Jiajing knew that his thoughts might not make much sense. However, before people die, they are bound to think randomly, especially when they are sick. Jiajing is a very self-centered and extremely selfish person, so it is natural to have such emotions.
However, deep down in his heart, he had a little bit of Ming Dynasty and a little bit of attention to the prince, so he pressed his mind down. He didn't attack Zhou Mengchen.
But there must be some precautions.
When Duke Li Ru of Fengguo faced the sleepy emperor and didn't know what to do, Jiajing suddenly came to his senses and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Duke Feng Guo Li Ru immediately said: "Why not talk about hard work when doing things for the court?"
Jiajing said: "When there is nothing wrong today, there will be no war in the future. I have nothing to worry about. I just worry about the remoteness of the south of the Yangtze River. The court is beyond the reach of the whip of you, you are the person I trust the most. How about you going to Nanjing?"
After hearing this, Duke Li Ru of Fengguo heard this, is there any possibility of refuting him?
Jiajing has clearly decided.
Li Ru felt a little sad inside and said, "I obey the order."
He knew very well that this matter was decided by Jiajing a long time ago. In his opinion, it was probably because of his distrust of him and Zhou Mengchen.
Tang Shiying is old.
The Minister of War in Nanjing was about to replace him. For the power of the cabinet, Zhou Mengchen wanted to give up some military power. At least it was a bit inappropriate to take the military power in Nanjing into their sect. So Zhou Mengchen used the position of Minister of War in Nanjing to exchange other political interests.
However, relying on Zhou Mengchen's influence in the army, the Secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of War of Zhou Mengchen's sect really has military power. But it is not certain that he will be appointed as Secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of War. Nanjing's military power requires a new round of game.
In fact, the military power in Nanjing has always been in the game between civil servants, eunuchs and nobles. But before that, everyone knew that the Secretary of the Ministry of War in Nanjing was empty-handed. The Nanjing army was not good, and no one fought for it. Now it is different. Now the soldiers of all provincial battalions under Nanjing are elite, especially the Zhejiang Army. As Qi Jiguang's fundamental unit, he followed Qi Jiguang to make a lot of contributions in the Battle of Liaodong.
In this way, there is a need for competition.
But when Duke Feng Li Ru arrived in Nanjing, there was nothing to argue about.
After all, Li Ru, Duke of Feng, was a new famous general packaged by the Ming Dynasty. He was also a nobleman. He could naturally suppress others and control the military power in Nanjing.
I dare not say that I have completely controlled the military power in Nanjing, but at least I can separate the southern army from Zhou Mengchen. This is the distrust of Zhou Mengchen.
And where is the distrust of Li Ru?
It just won't let Li Ru take control of the Beijing camp.
Yes, in the political struggles in the capital, the only one who can really break the rules is the Jingying. No matter how Li Ru and Zhou Mengchen make a separation, he cannot fully trust Li Ru here in Jiajing.
However, Jiajing never felt Li Ru's thoughts.
Now the people who control the Jinyiwei are the Duke Cheng tribe, and the Duke of the Beijing camp is the Duke of England. Yes, Li Ru knew that the Duke of England and Duke of Cheng might not have participated in the death of his father, but he absolutely believed that they knew the inside story.
The Duke of England and Duke Cheng Guo are the top leaders of the nobles in Beijing. They will not interfere directly in many things and will become dirty. However, with their knowledge of the good news, especially among the nobles.
How can I not know?
Li Ru has been investigating for so many years, but he has no clue. Who is interfering? Li Ru has doubts.
Li Ru is not a person who is greedy for power. Li Ru can understand that he temporarily gave the capital camp to the British Duke. After all, among the nobles, only those who have the qualifications to control the capital camp.
But he was unwilling to give up the business that the father and son had worked hard to train completely to the Duke of England.
I won’t say anything else, just ask one question, does the Duke of England know how to train?
Moreover, this choice was not affected by Li Ru alone. Before, Li Ru fought in the Western Regions, and everyone in the Beijing camp knew that Li Ru would come back. In many things, it is not easy to go too far with Li Ru's old subordinates.
But Li Ru went to Nanjing.
What would it look like?
You don't need to guess.
This is something Li Ru didn't want to do, but what could he say when facing Jiajing?
Jiajing said: "Okay. According to the old system, Nanjing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If there is any Beijing-Beijing, there will be any Nanjing. If you go to Nanjing, you will be the Privy Councilor of Nanjing. You have to do many things. The new recruit system has many benefits. But the weapon is also a weapon. Your Majesty is in the hands of the court. This must not be wrong."
"The father and son of Feng Kingdom were guarding Nanjing for two generations. You don't want your ancestors to be beautiful in front of you."
Li Xian, Duke of Feng, guarded Nanjing for decades during the Xuande period of Yongle. He was in Nanjing for one day and was in Beijing without worries. It is also a good story. This is what Jiajing refers to.
Li Ru said: "I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's order and guard Nanjing, so that the court will be worry-free."
"I'm relieved now." Jiajing said.
Jiajing was already very tired when he said this.
Li Ru said goodbye with tactfulness.
Li Ru came out and looked at the sun in the sky. It seemed that the sunlight was too hot. Instead, he felt that the sunlight was a little black in his eyes.
At this moment, he was not only dissatisfied with himself, but also worried about Zhou Mengchen's future.
Although Li Ru had a separation from Zhou Mengchen before, he knew that Zhou Mengchen still trusted him. Just like he also trusted Zhou Mengchen. For many years, friends have a tacit understanding that needs no need to say.
At this point, Jiajing was right to suspect that if Jiajing asked Li Ru to deal with Zhou Mengchen, Li Ru would definitely give advice and even let him go.
But if Zhou Mengchen had any major rebellious thoughts, Li Ru would definitely resist fiercely, and even fight with each other, fighting for life and death.
Because of this, Li Ru's military power was a way to reassure Jiajing and Zhou Mengchen. It was a firewall between the two. Now Jiajing wants to demolish this firewall.
Li Ru's political sense made him see that the sunlight was black.
In what direction will Jiajing go in the future and how will Jiajing's mind change? Li Ru doesn't know, who can say it accurately?
