Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 646
Bai Mingxiu did not leave Shanghai, but returned to his residence in Shanghai.

Jinyiwei commander Xiang Xingtian flew directly to Shanghai to meet the emperor. After all, Jinyiwei, who was responsible for the intelligence network and national security, also had an unshirkable responsibility for this sudden assassination.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard with a big belly always smiled every time he met Bai Mingxiu, and he looked more like a businessman who made money with kindness than an intelligence leader.But this time, Xiang Xingtian's expression was quite serious. An assassination against the emperor shocked the entire empire.

Xiang Xingtian came to Bai Mingxiu, and Bai Mingxiu turned off the TV.

"Almost all the channels now are broadcasting the story of my assassination. Now all kinds of conspiracy theories have come out. I have already called the cabinet and asked them to take care of the propaganda. I can't see it. The wind is the rain, these TV stations and print media, after all, are all official media, and they are so sensational when they speak."

Xiang Xingtian was helpless: "Your Majesty, you were assassinated. Isn't such a small thing? This is something that shook the country. After all, in the old days, the common people didn't know what was going on in the court, and the emperor lived in the deep palace. There is no problem. Now your every move will be magnified, and it is an era of rapid information dissemination, so in just one day, the major media have already spread the matter."

Bai Mingxiu sighed: "Fortunately, some people still posted photos of me speaking at the venue and leaving the exhibition center, otherwise some people would probably think I was dead."

He could also understand how much Quan Daming cared about his personal safety. After all, he was the emperor who implicated the entire empire, and he was also the founder and leader of the empire.Not to mention the imperial level, even at his family level, Queen Su Wanxi, who was originally participating in a business event in North Korea, was shocked. She quickly flew back to her homeland and flew directly to Shanghai to see him.

In fact, Bai Mingxiu has never been afraid of such things since he gained superhuman physical strength.But no matter how he doesn't care about it himself, it's impossible for others not to care about it.

Just thinking about what will happen if this huge empire loses him as emperor, anyone will feel scared.Although the political arena of the Ming Dynasty is now very stable, and a large number of outstanding ministers and a strong team of civil servants have emerged, people still have a certain understanding of the restored emperor.

Assuming that Bai Mingxiu was gone and his eldest son Da Mao succeeded, it would be impossible to shake the scene.There will naturally be some turmoil in the struggle for power.Even some colonies may experience instability, which is unacceptable to the people of Ming who are accustomed to peace, stability and strength.

Bai Mingxiu's mentality is good, but it doesn't mean that other people's mentality is also good.At this stage, Daming actually has a relatively complete system for selecting and promoting officials. At the same time, it also has a method of collective leadership and replacement of the cabinet. In addition, the military system is independent of the government system. Bai Mingxiu believes that even if he really disappears, Daming This method will still be used to continuously update and rotate the new regime, so as to ensure that Ming's national interests will not be damaged.

It's just that he can be sure that people who don't have the experience of later generations or don't know the court well enough can't be sure.

Bai Mingxiu could almost feel the panic and worry of the whole people, which made him quite helpless.Although he is actually in the real national affairs, he is the emperor after all.

"Are you sure who did it?"

Xiang Xingtian took out some materials, presented them to Bai Mingxiu, and said, "One of the assassins registered at our Jinyiwei. We knew his whereabouts originally, but in March this year, this person suddenly disappeared. We also investigated and searched afterwards, but until this incident, we have not found him. This person is a senior intelligence officer of the Western Qing Military Intelligence Bureau, he is a Han Chinese, and has been working for the Tartars."

Bai Mingxiu nodded: "So it's confirmed, is it the Xiqing side's fault this time?"

"The Tartars have never given up their efforts to assassinate you. Over the years, they have planned no less than fifty assassinations. This time... it was our mistake."

The Commander's words have another meaning, that is, Jin Yiwei thwarted 49 assassinations, but this time they also missed.

In fact, Bai Mingxiu didn't mean to blame anyone. After all, this era is still the industrial age, not the tens of millions of cameras connected to the Internet in the later generations, and there are various devices that can maintain social security. The security check can only be done by relatively simple manual search, and there are many mistakes and negligence.

Xiang Xingtian said again: "Basically, people's consensus is that Xiqing did it. Ordinary people don't believe that there will be Ming people in Ming Dynasty who have complaints against His Majesty and even want to murder you."

There must be some Akito who realize Bai Mingxiu doesn't like him, but unless there is mental illness or special circumstances, no one thinks that murdering him will solve the problem.

"I'm afraid there will be a wave of public opinion, alas." Bai Mingxiu said.

As expected by Bai Mingxiu, when he learned that the emperor was assassinated by Xiqing's secret agents while participating in the event, the whole society entered a state of excitement.Groups of intellectuals who still have the color of the old-fashioned literati wrote articles in various newspapers and magazines, all of which were written like combat essays.In some places, people even took to the streets to petition, hoping to send troops to attack Xiqing and avenge the king.

However, Bai Mingxiu did not directly respond to this incident. On the third day of the assassination incident, he participated in an event in Shanghai as usual. Someone also asked him at the event whether he wanted to send troops to the Western Qing Dynasty or participate in the European war. Bai Mingxiu's answer to the question was ambiguous.

The Ming army has not yet fully prepared, of course it is not impossible to go to war directly, but Bai Mingxiu is still counting on Xi Qingnu to work hard and quickly defeat countries such as France and Spain. At that time, it will be the last time for Ming to clean up the mess. good time.

"We will soon have the final decisive battle with Xiqing. It is absolutely unacceptable for the secret agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau to operate so freely in my homeland of Ming Dynasty. It may be difficult to assassinate me, but if they want to launch some terror What about the attack? Our people are innocent, and they are the easiest targets for the enemy. Protecting their safety is also the most important duty of Jin Yiwei." Bai Mingxiu said firmly.

Xiangxing Tian nodded heavily, he didn't make any promises, but Bai Mingxiu trusted him, as long as this person is determined to do it, his actions are his promises.
