Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu nodded silently listening to Fu Changzong's words, and couldn't help sighing.

Those who are familiar with him say that he has good patience, but in fact he is very impatient, he can't wait long ago, it's reality that forces him to be patient.

He has too many things he wants to do and is blocked by reality.

Fu Chang looked at Zhu Xu's expression, smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the court is stable, and the treasury is also considered abundant. There will be no major incidents. If we last another three to five years, everything will be fine."

Knowing that Fu Changzong was comforting him, Zhu Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Well, I'm impatient. What's the matter with you here?"

Fu Changzong said: "Old Sun Ge was in Liaodong, and he proposed a three-sided peace corner, planning to further expand in Liaodong, and incorporate more territories into our Ming Dynasty, with the focus on the north."

Zhu Xu grunted, and said: "Tell him to fight steadily, to stand firmly in every place, not to be broken by one blow, and to order Xiong Tingbi to cooperate fully, and the navy will also take action."

Fu Changzong knew that Zhu Xu was keen on opening up territories, so he nodded yes, and looked at Zhu Xu cautiously, and said: "Recently, many officials have resigned from office, and they are all from Bi Ge's old line."

"So, what are you worried about?" Zhu Xu said calmly while sipping tea.

This is not obvious. Everyone in the world knows that Bi Ziyan is competing with Sun Chuanting. This is clearly a demonstration.

Fu Changzong knew it was not easy, and said calmly: "Now that the New Deal is in full swing, I am worried that there will be bad news, which will hit the confidence and enthusiasm of officials."

Zhu Xu laughed, shook his head, and said, "You all underestimate Old Bi Ge's heart."

Fu Changzong was puzzled, and said: "Please let the emperor express it."

Zhu Xu put down his teacup, and said softly: "Old Bi Ge went all the way south, and he went to the key places of the New Deal. He seemed aggressive, but did he really do anything?"

Fu Changzong was stunned, everyone knew that Bi Ziyan was persecuting Bumbutai in Shenlong Mansion, his posture seemed to be to destroy Shenlong Mansion.

But after thinking about it carefully, Bi Ziyan was capable of doing it, but in the end he was defeated and fled in the eyes of outsiders, and went to Zhejiang in embarrassment.

Fu Changzong didn't speak, but looked at Zhu Xu quietly.

Zhu Xu's face was full of emotions, and he said: "After all, he is the one who promotes the New Deal. It is normal to be worried about going to see it before leaving."

Fu Changzong came over knowingly, and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty is saying that Mr. Bi Ge is just verifying and has no intention of objecting?"

Zhu Xu nodded, and said: "Most of these people resigned to pave the way for Sun Chuanting. This old man is also very hardworking, and his heart is as wide as the sea."

Fu Changzong didn't expect this to happen, he was quite shocked and kept silent for a long time.

After a while, Fu Changzong said: "It's still the emperor who understands."

Zhu Xu looked at Fu Changzong, he didn't know if Fu Changzong had any further intentions, but in Zhu Xu's mind, Fu Changzong didn't have the courage to be the chief assistant, he was a deputy with strong execution ability, and his official career had come to an end.

Of course, from the perspective of the outside world, it was because of Fu Changzong's status as a relative.

Zhu Xu still felt a little guilty for this hard-working uncle, pondered, and said: "The Fu family will also have a title in the future."

Fu Changzong was startled, and quickly knelt down and said: "I dare not accept the favor."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk."

Fu Changzong was terrified and stood up in fear.The Fu family is already quite prominent, if they don't keep a low profile, there may be disasters.

Zhu Xu didn't think too much, and said: "Let's not talk about it, Zhou Yingqiu will succeed you, there is still one person short of the cabinet, who do you think is suitable?"

Fu Changzong calmed down and thought about it: "Your Majesty, how is Shen Yongmao?"

Chapter 1266

Fu Changzong proposed Shen Yongmao, which can be described as well-intentioned.

Although Shen Yongmao is regarded as an imperial party, he has a better reputation among the centrists. Even those who oppose the New Deal praise him more than criticize him. If he can enter the cabinet, he can be regarded as the "most suitable" candidate.

If Sun Chuanting succeeds as the "chief assistant", Fu Changzong is promoted to the fifth place, and the sixth is still the imperial party, then the cabinet will be full of imperial parties.

Sun Chuanting, Jin Wang, Wang Qiaonian, and Fu Changzong are already four people. Excluding Sun Chengzong, who is concentrating on military affairs, and entering the imperial party, that is the cabinet of the entire imperial party.

For many people, this will be "too ugly to eat"!

Zhu Xu understood Fu Changzong's meaning, continued his cup of tea, and said, "The seventh cabinet minister, who do you think is suitable?"

Fu Changzong's expression changed. The current cabinet has always been composed of six people, and the seventh has been suspended for many years.

Now, Zhu Xu wants to fill in the vacancy. Could it be that the rise of Sun Chuanting means that Ming Dynasty is about to enter a stage of drastic change?

Fu Changzong thought about it, and said cautiously: "If it comes to seniority and ability, Zhou Yingqiu is naturally the first. Shen Yongmao, Zhang Wenda, Xu Dahua, etc. are all qualified. I think it needs to be considered in the long term."

The position of the cabinet is becoming more and more important, and the power of the cabinet ministers is increasing day by day. The position of a cabinet minister is watched by the whole world.

Bi Ziyan was about to retire, and when the high-level court changed, another cabinet minister was born. I'm afraid that many people will be in peace.

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, looked at Fu Changzong with a smile and said, "Uncle said so."

Fu Changzong didn't say much, he knew that Zhu Xu must have an idea in his heart.

Entering July, the weather is getting hotter, just like the officialdom of Ming Dynasty.

The outer court of Zhu Xu's Forbidden City is basically open, but the inner court is quite mysterious to the outside world, and there are only a handful of people who can enter and exit.

The missions of the Papal States faced strong pressure from the Ming Dynasty. Although they rejected the debate proposed by the Ming Dynasty, Xue Zhengqing continued to "uglify" them on different occasions.

For example, the church of Xue Zhengqing's Shenlong Mansion, in front of Majdarzini, accused him of abusing lynching in Europe, which violated God's benevolence, and exhorted him to "love the world".

At another baptism, "human rights" were mentioned, asking Maidarzini and the Holy See to respect people's right to life, freedom, especially freedom of belief.

During a pilgrimage for believers, Xue Zhengqing even proposed "equality of faith", demanding that the Holy See treat male and female believers equally, not treat them differently, let alone treat female believers as "sex slaves."

These are simply slaps in the face, loud and direct.Maidarzini's rebuttal is weak, because he is the one who abused the lynching and everyone knows it.Faith is the only requirement of God, how to argue?The equality of believers is a joke. From ancient times to the present, women are slaves of men. How can he explain it?

Faced with the menacing Ming Dynasty, Maidarzini could not argue hard, but could only act as a coward.

In a church, Maidarzini and a group of people lived here temporarily and gathered together, all frowning and dissatisfied.

With a rough voice, a cardinal asked angrily, "What exactly does Mingren want?"

"I think they must have a conspiracy. Maybe they want to stop them from preaching and want to damage our reputation."

"No, if they want to stop it, they won't go all the way to our Papal Kingdom. It should be for another purpose."

No one is a fool, the Ming Dynasty did it so clearly, it was obvious that there was some kind of conspiracy against them.

A group of people discussed a lot, but couldn't figure it out, and finally stared at Maidarzini.

Maidarzini has suffered serious setbacks recently, and his face has not looked good.From the bottom of his heart, judging from the situation of the Papal State, they are all eager to preach in Daming and turn this place into a country that God or the Papal State can control or influence.

But the Ming Dynasty is obviously different from those countries they contacted. It has a stronger and more complete cultural system, which surpasses Europe by a lot.
