Li Mingrui sighed and pulled Guo Yunhou to a corner before saying, "If I tell you, the letter I sent to His Majesty did not mention that the Crown Prince of Java was bribed by the Chief Secretary Qian Qianyi, would you believe it?"

When Guo Yunhou heard Li Mingrui say this, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He really couldn't believe that Li Mingrui actually gave His Majesty a piece of fake evidence. But seeing that Li Mingrui looked like he was right, he had to believe it, so he said in confusion: "You are a deceptive act."

Guo Yunhou was about to say the word "deceptive" and then shut up again. After all, this kind of thing cannot be said explicitly. Since Your Majesty did not expose Li Mingrui on the spot, then speaking it out at this time would be like deliberately embarrassing Your Majesty.

Li Mingrui naturally knew what Guo Yunhou wanted to say, so he spread his hands and said:

"This is not a big deal. With the current stance of Your Majesty, how could he care about such trivial matters? Your Majesty is not a vengeful person. The Grand Situ was a little over-thinking. What's more, under that circumstances at that time, Your Majesty's obvious disgust for Qian Qianyi had reached its highest level. What Your Majesty needed most was a reason, a reason to deal with Qian Qianyi on the spot. I just helped Your Majesty find a reason;

In addition, I also wrote in the letter that we had agreed to pay more part of the commercial tax in order to make Your Majesty more active in expanding the outside world. Your Majesty will naturally be willing to make this deal with us, that is, to exchange for the court's commercial profits at the cost of Qian Qianyi, the chief minister of the cabinet."

After listening to Li Mingrui's statement, Guo Yunhou understood why Li Mingrui could hit the target and pulled Qian Qianyi from the position of chief minister of the cabinet.

But Guo Yunhou was not allowed to worry about Li Mingrui secretly. He used this method of almost trading and opportunistic to let His Majesty deal with Qian Qianyi, which was a bit too crazy. Even if His Majesty did not pursue the matter at this moment, I am afraid that if Li Mingrui is unlucky in the future, the reason will come from this.

The more he feels that he is unparalleled, the more stubborn he is and does not listen to any advice. Li Mingrui is such a person, so Guo Yunhou didn't say much.

Li Mingrui himself couldn't help but sigh and said, "However, I seem to be too hasty, so that His Majesty did not kill Qian Qianyi immediately. Now it seems that it is still a bit difficult to completely disappear from Qian Qianyi, but the most urgent task is that the position of the chief minister of the cabinet must rely more on the support of the Grand Situ."

As he said that, Li Mingrui couldn't help but bow to Guo Yunhou.

Ministers of the Ministry and the Court play an important role in the court promotion of important officials. In many cases, even if Zhu Youxiao can stand alone now, he will consider the opinions of these ministers of the Ministry and the Court. After all, after the emergence of the new cabinet chief, the implementation of policies still requires the department of these departments and departments.

Guo Yunhou naturally agreed happily. Now His Majesty has begun to gradually delegate power to the cabinet, especially in daily administration. Therefore, if Li Mingrui becomes the chief minister of the cabinet, the policies he implements will definitely be in line with his own interests. If he has no interests, he will not support Li Mingrui as the chief minister of the cabinet.

Almost everyone thinks that Li Mingrui is definitely the candidate for the prime minister after Qian Qianyi. There are even active newspapers and magazines that have begun to renovate Li Mingrui's resume again and increase their exposure to Li Mingrui.

However, Zhu Youxiao from Danei did not make any clear statement. There is no big problem with the cabinet without a prime minister for the time being. Anyway, this institution has more consultative elements.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to let Li Mingrui, a person with too strong power, become the cabinet chief, just like this, naturally, because he had to admit that some of the views of the conservative school made sense. If he put a typical big capitalist in the position of the cabinet chief, Zhu Youxiao would not be sure whether such a cabinet chief would be willing to give up his own interests and give more welfare guarantees to the lower class people.

What's more, through the years, Zhu You proofreaded Li Mingrui's understanding and found that this pearl, which was originally lost in history, was not an easy person. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was too tricky, and he could even guess his intentions than Qian Qianyi. In fact, he did not have any fear of himself as an emperor, otherwise he would not have made a deal with him directly. Such a rebellious act was not something that ordinary ministers dared to do.

Zhu Youxiao did not confirm whether Li Mingrui would join forces with other new chaebols to suppress his imperial power, and would thus transform into a constitutional monarchy.

Or I will not be able to control this Li Mingrui in the future.

This may be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

But for Zhu Youxiao, who still wants to be dictatorial for a few years, this is not a good thing.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao didn't want Li Mingrui to be the position of prime minister in the cabinet. He wanted to continue to drag on the war against Java and look for opportunities to find a candidate who is more suitable for prime minister in the cabinet.

...

Less gossip, since His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has decided to take action to destroy Java.

The Ming army system, which had just been on the verge of half a year, started to operate again, but because Java was too small, although the Java country declared war on the Ming Dynasty, for the Ming Dynasty, it was more like a small local war that could not be even smaller.

Therefore, there were not many Ming troops able to participate in the Java War, and the quota was limited.

Although the generals of the major imperial guards submitted applications to the Ministry of War to request to participate in the battle against Java, only Lu Xiangyu's Fourth Army and the South China Sea Fleet were selected in the end.

The Ministry of War has now almost been reorganized into an organization similar to the General Staff. After considering the various intelligence information provided by the Jinyiwei, the Ministry of War felt that sending the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard reserve team to destroy the main force of Java is the most appropriate choice, because for a small country like Java and a densely packed country, it is unrealistic to use combat chariots and artillery, and it is also a bit of a waste to use the Ace First Army.

The Navy chose the South China Sea Fleet for the principle of proximity, but the South China Sea Fleet participating in the war was limited to two brigades, and the rest of the fleet troops were only responsible for transporting the fourth section and important materials.

However, although only dispatched the Fourth Army, a total of 20,000 troops, and two brigades (including Heiwa's brigade), and a total of 30,000 navy, a total of 30,000 combat personnel, it was already the largest battle in the entire Nanyang.

Java did not know that the Ming Dynasty had declared war on him at this time.

People always have to pay the price for their big talk. Since they are going to declare war with the Ming Dynasty, they must continue this war with tears in their eyes.
