Chapter 1051: Shocking Change and Turn
Nearly April, in the Kunning Palace of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, Zhu Jishi held the queen Luo Xiangmei, who was finally pregnant again, and walked with her in the garden, while talking about the crown prince Zhu Guoxiong (the first few chapters made a mistake in the name, Zhu Guoxiong was written as Zhu Guojie, does Luo Luo want Alzheimer's?) The thing about living on campus. "Rest assured, the Imperial City Public School is on the edge of the Forbidden City, and it is heavily guarded, so there will be no problems with safety."
Luo Xiangmei frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not worried about Xiong'er's safety, but about his studies, Xiong'er is a child after all, and he always has a playful nature, and now there is no master to supervise well, if he lives in the school again, he will ...... Even I, a mother, can't stare at his homework, I'm afraid I'm going to waste my studies. ”
Zhu Jishi smiled: "The least thing I'm worried about is Xiong'er's studies, his brain follows me, it is the material for reading, and he has been the first in his homework since the first grade, when has he ever fallen behind?" What I'm worried about now is that he's going to be a nerd when he reads! Queen, I know that you are bent on cultivating him into a wise man. But do you know what is the most important thing to be a celebrity? ”
Luo Xiangmei shook her head, although she had several experiences of listening to politics in the court, but she didn't really have much time to make up her mind, and many times she just signed the document prepared by the cabinet (the rules set by Emperor Zhu that the signature and seal must be used at the same time).
Zhu Jishi knew that she didn't understand, and explained with a smile: "The way to be a king is still to employ people. You also know that I am not diligent among the emperors of the past and present, but I can govern the world in an orderly manner, is it not because I am good at employing people? ”
Luo Xiangmei muttered in her heart, can your world be orderly? Who was fighting outside the palace on January 20th? Something like that. How many times has it happened in history?
Zhu Jishi glanced at the queen. smiled and said, "Xiangmei." Don't look at my rivers and mountains as a bit chaotic on the surface, in fact, everything is in my control. And how to control the country, how to control the conflict and cooperation in all aspects, adjust the interests of all parties, and especially what kind of people should be used to deal with what kind of responsible situation, are all things that Xiong'er needs to master. Therefore, Xiong'er can't study in the palace now, but has to go out and deal with the future elites of the Ming Dynasty. There will be many elites among the students in the Imperial City Public School. When he graduated from Huangcheng Public School, I also planned to let him go to Jishi University, study law and economics, and become a member of Jishi's classmates. He not only studied law and economics, but also made friends in the legal and economic circles, because in the future, most of my Ming politicians will come from these two aspects. ”
"Studying law and economics? Didn't you go to military school? Luo Xiangmei didn't quite understand, "Don't the princes of Western countries all receive military education now, don't they all have the experience of serving in the army and fighting?" Should Xiong'er study the army in the future? ”
In Luo Xiangmei's mind, studying the army will be able to have a good relationship with the military, and the army will support her in the future. This throne can be secure!
Zhu Jishi waved his hand: "It is useless to study the army, and it is a matter of using soldiers to fight." I'm done in this life, and he can be a peaceful son in the future. Improving the country's laws and systems, developing the country's economy, and adjusting contradictions among all strata are the most important tasks. I can't do these things, and Xiong'er must continue to do them. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said: "Xiangmei, don't look at those European monarchs in military uniforms, and think that they really know how to fight. In fact, these people are all half a bottle of water and are fooling around, and sooner or later they will ruin their great cause of European domination of the world. I don't want Xiong'er to be like them...... Even if there is a war to be fought in the future, the Ming Dynasty has its own generals who can lead the troops, and its own general staff can plan, so why should the emperor take action? ”
The danger of fighting a war with half a bottle of vinegar has already been revealed in the last war against Russia. With the exception of Queen Victoria, the monarchs of the European warring countries all thought they were great military strategists, and they ended up fighting with all kinds of blind commands. This war is not so much about who is superior in the art of military command, but rather about who is less than foreign. Moreover, Zhu Jishi also knows very well how many empires were destroyed by the First World War in another time and space! He estimated that it was unlikely that he would live to 1914, and that Zhu Guoxiong would be the emperor at that time. If there is any world war in this plane, we must deal with it carefully, and I would rather not do it than do it wrong......
In addition, Zhu Jishi also knows that in the future capitalist world, the root cause of every large-scale war and revolutionary storm is the economy! Either economic interests or economic crises. If Zhu Guoxiong doesn't understand economics and only has a militaristic ideology, sooner or later he will let a group of big capitalists who are more sophisticated than monkeys and more poisonous than snakes and scorpions be used as guns, and when the time comes, the benefits of winning the war will be others, and if he defeats the Zhu Ming Dynasty, he will not know where he will die...... Thinking of this, Emperor Zhu fell into deep thought, and he didn't even notice that Weng Tongyi, who had just served as the minister of the imperial study, walked briskly. Luo Xiangmei still reminded: "Your Majesty, Weng Tongyi is here, I'm afraid there is something important, right?" ”
Zhu Jishi raised his head and saw Weng Tongyi walking over with hurried steps. This Imperial Scholar and Military Advisor has been very proud lately. Emperor Zhu's original close ministers all went to the Jishi Youth Party, and now he is the oldest and most trusted, holding the two important positions of minister of the imperial study and military advisor. It seems that it was right not to go to the Jishi Youth Party that day, and if they did, it would also be for Pan Zuyin and them.
Walking up to Emperor Zhu, Weng Tonggong bowed. Emperor Zhu said lightly: "Oh, Weng Qing, why are you in a hurry, is there anything important?" ”
Weng Tongyi nodded silently and saluted the queen again, but did not speak. Zhu Jishi knew that there must be something inconvenient for the queen to hear. This is the system in the imperial study, there are some things that the emperor can talk to the empress, and the minister of the imperial study can't sue the queen without the emperor's approval, so as not to interfere in the politics of the harem - in fact, this system was proposed by Luo Xiangmei herself, and the purpose was of course to prevent other harem concubines from participating in politics.
"Say it." Zhu Jishi waved his hand indifferently. Luo Xiangmei is his wife, what other secrets can't be shared?
Weng Tongyi smiled slightly bitterly, took out an envelope that was still sealed with wax from his sleeve, presented it to Zhu Jishi with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, this is a letter just sent by the Mexican ambassador, and it is a personal letter from the Mexican Empress Mathilde I. ”
Well, it's a love letter from the "little three"! Zhu Jishi suddenly looked embarrassed, and said with a haha: "This ...... I don't know what it is? ”
So saying, he tore open the envelope, took out the raft inside, and looked at it. After only two glances, his face suddenly changed greatly. Luo Xiangmei was generous, not only did she not mean to be jealous, but also asked with concern: "Your Majesty, is it the Duke of Bonapart......
The Duke of Bonapart is the illegitimate son of Emperor Zhu and Mathilde, and now he has been made a duke, but after all, he is a child, and the medical treatment in this era is not very good, and it is not a matter of minutes and seconds to get a serious illness? It's a pity that so many of Emperor Zhu's sons have grown up healthy......
"No, it's not, he's healthy." Zhu Jishi frowned and said, "Her special envoy Juarez has just met with US President James. Buchanan reached a verbal agreement, and the Americans are ready to join the Quad Pact! ”
"The Four-Power Agreement?" Luo Xiangmei is a little unclear. Is the U.S. joining the Quad a bad thing? But listening to Emperor Zhu's tone, it seems that this matter was facilitated by Mathilde, if it is really a bad thing that is not good for the Ming Dynasty, how could Mathilde do it?
Emperor Zhu waved his hand a little annoyedly, and said with a wry smile: "This woman is not my marionette, she is the Empress of Mexico, of course she has to consider the interests of the Mexican Empire...... If the United States joins the "Quad Agreement", it will reduce tariffs, which will be beneficial to Britain. And France did not want Mexico and the United States to be hostile, lest Mathilde's throne be unstable. As for Mathilde, this female Napoleon now wants to start a war to recover the five provinces of Central America, so now she wants to make good relations with the Americans, and she doesn't want my army to enter Mexico!
