Chapter 442 Tianqi came to pick him up in person, and Zhang Gui returned to Beijing!
"This island is really nice! There are Qionglou Yuyu, and it also has beautiful scenery. The key is that you can still see so many Han family inscriptions here, and it is not far from Zhongtu. No wonder your Zhang Qing family chose to recuperate here."
Tian Qi is considered to be the first Ming emperor to visit Jianghua Island.
After Tianqi arrived here, he also took a fancy to this place, and because of this, he started talking to Zhang Gui.
Zhang Gui said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this place was once an inseparable part of the Han family."
Tianqi nodded, and said again: "Although that is the case, why did North Korea lease it to Xichang without hesitation when you said you wanted to lease it? Now that you think about it, your Xichang's overseas strength is indeed not to be underestimated, and you can even hold a country hostage .”
"That being said, if it weren't for Your Majesty, there would be no Xichang today."
Zhang Gui replied.
"Although this is the truth. But I never thought that one day, let you be able to abandon the country and the common people because of Xichang, and live freely in this overseas place, where the king's law can't control, live a life Live your own life. If you are like this, how can I and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty expect you to continue the prosperity of Ming Dynasty?"
Apocalypse asked sarcastically.
Zhang Gui replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Great rivers and rivers in the world will not flow because of the absence of someone, and mountains in the world will not fall because of the absence of someone. Besides, the world belongs to your majesty, and it is truly governed by your majesty." The world is also full of civil and military affairs, and the minister is only a drop in the ocean, so the prosperous Ming Dynasty cannot continue because the minister does not return to Beijing, let alone the minister cannot live forever like Your Majesty."
"I can't either!"
Tian Qi suddenly replied seriously, and said: "You don't believe those flattery words, and I don't believe it either. People can only live for a hundred years, even if they are emperors. Uh, no, from the perspective of this dynasty, those who are emperors live more. But my servant."
As he said that, Tian Qi asked Zhang Gui: "Are you really assured that after leaving like this, and then I will kick my legs in the future, Daming can count on the East Palace and his gentlemen to manage the people of Kyushu well?" ?”
"What's more, it's not just within Kyushu now, since you, Zhang Qing, linked the problems of the entire Kyushu with the people and lands in the universe, and changed the respect from human relations to civilization, and then Is there any prince or duke who knows how to use the resources from all directions in the universe to benefit my Ming side alone?"
Zhang Guidao: "Isn't there already a method, just treat people of the same civilization as human beings."
"It's so easy!"
Tian Qi laughed, and after replying, he said to Zhang Gui: "For example, how to turn the large amount of coal mines mined in the vast sea into silver is inexhaustible for the Industrial Division, and it is also inexhaustible for heating. We can't let the Han people in the world take it." Coal mines are used as money, right?"
Zhang Guiyan said: "The solution is always forced out. I believe that as long as they are willing to think, they can always find a way. If it is not possible, the coal will be divided first. However, the minister does have his own solution. Otherwise, the minister will not Promise to order large quantities of coal, and will not buy His Majesty the benefits of steam technology."
"Sure enough, you have a solution. Since you have it, the whole court will naturally count on you first, and don't think about it yourself. Go back to Beijing!"
Apocalypse said.
Zhang Gui shook his head, and immediately said: "They can't always count on the minister. Moreover, the minister doesn't want to be abandoned when he is useless or not very useful in the future, and it doesn't even look decent to be abandoned."
Apocalypse.
"Then we have to explain everything. I can do my best to help Haiyu rise, but I can't always take them with me. I don't want to imitate Zhuge Wuhou, but Zhuge Wuhou did his best. As a result, when he left, the Kingdom of Shu fell into decline. Therefore, there must be a deadline, and the ministers will be their husbands with dignity, and they will leave with dignity in the future."
Zhang Gui replied.
"I don't want to learn from Zhuge Wuhou, but I dare to be here with you, and I will die after I die, shouldn't I have it?"
Tian Qi really didn’t expect Zhang Gui’s thoughts to be so special and direct, and he didn’t realize that he would devote himself to the Ming Dynasty because of the respect and courtesy he received from the emperor!
Zhang Guidao: "Forgive me, Your Majesty, I'm not that great, I can't be completely selfless in my heart, let me simply and consciously regard myself as fuel, burn the rest of my life for the world, and warm the world, this is what a saint can do. And the minister, but I'm just a mortal, I have never asked myself to be a sage, and I hope His Majesty will not have such a request for me."
"It's just like you didn't ask me to do so. I don't care about the government and let you, a foreign relative, monopolize the government for me. You don't think it's wrong for me to do so?"
Apocalypse asked.
"There are grievances, but I really don't feel that His Majesty is doing something wrong."
Zhang Gui replied.
"Why are there complaints?"
Apocalypse asked.
Zhang Gui said bluntly: "You can just do what you like because of this, without being disturbed, but the minister has to be exhausted physically and mentally between the paperwork every day, and you prefer to prefer. You still get the most, and you can't even think about it." fair!"
Tian Qi laughed loudly: "You really have a temper with me! Unlike those courtiers, they obviously wanted to go back to hold their wives and children and live a carefree life because they were exhausted from government affairs. The teeth are loose and white, I can't control myself, I'm afraid I'll misuse the government, so I want to go back, but I asked Jin Yiwei to inquire, and within a few years after going back, many new children came out!"
As he spoke, Tian Qi took the initiative to ask: "Go back to Beijing to teach the East Palace and the servants of the world what to do after the prince's wedding. As soon as the prince's wedding is over, I will personally send you out of the city on the second day!"
Zhang Guidao: "Yes! Your Majesty, please make a clear announcement to the world."
So, Apocalypse issued an edict next.
The content of the imperial edict is that Zhang Gui was granted the title of King of Dongping for his meritorious service in pacifying and building slaves. However, due to the early peace of the country, all industries are waiting to be prosperous, and the East Palace is young, it is necessary to still serve as the Prime Minister of the Policy Department before the prince's wedding. The official of Minister Wang is in charge of the policy department, and it is stated that the Prime Minister Wang Minister is only Zhang Gui. After the prince gets married, he will remove the official position as a temporary use; , there is no need to ask for an order, and blocking it can be regarded as resisting the order.
In this way, Zhang Gui began to return to Beijing officially.
As news of Zhang Gui's willingness to return to the capital reached the capital, the civil and military ministers of the capital were relieved.
For the officials, Zhang Gui's self-willedness this time really taught them a lesson. They didn't expect that when they returned from a big victory, they could still play like this, and what they didn't expect was that the emperor actually The time for Uncle Zhang Guo to assist the government was set, and this made them feel a little uneasy again.
But no matter what, the bureaucrats were happy when they learned that Zhang Gui, the uncle of the state, was finally going to return to court, as happy as a child who finally waited for his mother to come back, and the stock price of Hanhai Coal Mine rose accordingly.
