Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 733
Bai Mingxiu himself did not feel that life had changed much after the Ming Dynasty "unified the world".In addition to a large number of officials going to Europe to start organizing European jurisdictions and working in the Department of Personal Affairs, the Council of Governors is busy formulating national strategies and development outlines. For Bai Mingxiu himself, everything is the same as before.

The emperor is still the emperor who does not do his job properly, even if he is really on the earth at this time and becomes the "co-lord" of all human beings, he has a virtue.Recently, Bai Mingxiu started to study the baking business. The queen was full of praise for Bai Mingxiu's craftsmanship, but when the emperor said that he was going to be admitted to a national first-class pastry chef, Her Highness the queen expressed her helplessness towards the emperor.

Work is necessary. Bai Mingxiu works three or four hours a day.Many things are ceremonial work, going out to show your face, condolences to the people and so on.All the administrative work is done by the Lizhengyuan, and Zhang Huangyan is the one who is busy.As the emperor, Bai Mingxiu would come up with ideas and express his opinions.If the courtiers are not satisfied with his opinion, then Bai Mingxiu will see a lot of materials from the Taiping Palace sent by the staff of the Council of Liberal Affairs, and explain to him why the method he said is not good, and why the idea of ​​the Council of Liberal Affairs is better.

In addition to things that he has the knowledge of later generations, he will argue with reason to determine what will happen. For example, in the semiconductor electronics industry, such as in the field of information technology, he will request resources to be allocated.However, Bai Mingxiu would not argue with the Lizhengyuan on some trivial matters.He has never been a willful person. The Council has formed an effective system, and everyone has their own responsibilities through collective efforts. Even as an emperor, he should not interrupt such an effective system and destroy efficiency.

Bai Mingxiu came to participate in the victory celebration reception held by the Ministry of War in the capital this day. This reception was of a relatively high level, mainly senior generals and old ministers with meritorious service.The handsome and unrestrained emperor walked into the reception. At this time, everyone was talking, laughing and drinking. When they saw the emperor, everyone saluted.

Bai Mingxiu was a little emotional. There were many people at the reception, but their faces were already old.

King Li Dingguo of Jin, King Zheng Sen of Ying, Chief of Staff Su Shuhuan, and Prime Minister Zhang Huangyan, all of them are in their sixties. Except for Su Shuhuan whose hair is dyed black with oil every day, the other three have gray hair.Their faces are already wrinkled, but they are in good spirits.

When the emperor came, he came and did not speak.Today's occasion is relatively relaxed. In fact, there are more team building activities similar to the Ministry of War, and I would like to express my condolences to the old comrades.

Li Dingguo was sitting at the table, leaning on crutches in his hand. He has been in the army for many years, his health is not good, he has some old injuries, and now he can only move around with crutches.The same goes for Zheng Sen, who lives in Japan all year round and suffers from rheumatism.

Zheng Sen asked Li Dingguo: "King Jin, when you fought against the Qing Dynasty in the southwest, did you ever imagine that there would be today's scene?"

Li Dingguo laughed: "How is that possible?"

"Yeah, I also feel that everything is like a dream. At any time, it is absolutely impossible. Sometimes I dream back at midnight, and I think, all this is probably a dream. I died at sea. When the Anti-Qing Dynasty failed, the land of China became a decadent country tormented by Tartars."

Li Dingguo nodded: "I often have such fears."

Zhang Huangyan, who was on the side, heard the discussion of the two princes, and also joined in: "In Zhoushan, I really felt desperate. I always thought about when it would be the end of my life. How could I have thought about being prominent today? Not only did I The Xiangguo of the Ming Dynasty even governed the world."

Zhang Huangyan continued: "However, I think that even if the emperor hadn't descended from the sky and Ming Dynasty had perished, this country and nation would not perish forever. At the root, we Han people are extremely proud. It will come back, no matter how rampant the foreign invasion and enemy bandits are, no matter how many catastrophes the people of China have suffered, as long as there is one Han Chinese, the Yanhuang Soul will not be destroyed, and sooner or later we will re-establish the prosperous dynasty."

Li Dingguo said with a smile: "Fortunately, Zhang Xiang's pessimistic imagination of the end of the world is not reality. We have an emperor, and now the Ming Dynasty is strong and unprecedented, the only dynasty on earth, supported by the people, and the future can be expected, even if it is too good True, but this is reality."

Zheng Sen said: "Your Majesty, you have ignited a spark in the hearts and blood of all our descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. Although we inherit the ancient Yan and Huang Dynasties, we are completely different. We talk about dialectical materialism, we talk about development, science and technology, and we talk about Chinese civilization. , These are not things from ancient times, after all, Ming Dynasty has become stronger through all these changes, and the sparks have already started a prairie fire."

The three looked at each other, smiled, and drank together.

On the other side of the reception, Bai Mingxiu was drinking while eating, and he seemed to be a man who escaped from the control of his wife's family and came out to let the wind go.Wang Kai, the navy commander, couldn't help smiling when he saw the sneaky emperor.

"Your Majesty is so elegant."

Bai Mingxiu waved his hand: "Relax and relax, there are children at home, so you can't drink casually."

Wang Kai laughed, and chatted with Bai Mingxiu about very ordinary and homely things.

Looking at the banquet full of guests and guests, Wang Kai's eyes were blurred: "Da Ming ruled the country and opened the door to prosper. Your Majesty, do you think the scene of Daming can last for thousands of years?"

Bai Mingxiu picked up the meat with chopsticks and said, "What does it have to do with me?"

Wang Kai was stunned, and stared fixedly at Bai Mingxiu, who was eating meat.

Bai Mingxiu drank and ate meat, enjoying himself: "I have done everything I should do, and I have considered what I can do for my children and grandchildren. Do you want me to prophesy for centuries, for people hundreds of years later?" Are you really thinking about it? Isn’t this a bit too fucked up? Whether the future of Ming Dynasty exists or not, this is a question of quantum mechanics, but the observer will definitely not be me. Even if it doesn’t exist, so what?”

Bai Mingxiu smiled lightly: "I have assumed my responsibility, that's enough."

After Wang Kai heard it, his heart was also touched: "Your Majesty's unrestrained and open-mindedness are really beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Unexpectedly, this guy actually changed his style of painting: "Your Majesty, the war is over, and the development direction of our navy will also change. Next, should we start some new scientific research projects and purchase some new warships or something?" ?”

Bai Mingxiu's eyes widened as he looked at this naval commander who was always cheating on money.

"Don't think about it, the current fleet can't maintain all of it!"

"Look at what you said, Your Majesty. Maybe the ships of our future navy will fly in space."
