Chapter 1398 ?
With a slight sound, Zhu Hehao dropped the two memorials on the table in front of him.
Of these two memorials, one is the resignation letter of Wei Zhongcheng, the leader of the United States Council; the other is the resignation letter of Zheng Xi, the chief minister of the United States Cabinet.
The power struggle caused by King Zhu Hehao's surrender to the country has now been completely divided due to Shimazu Noyoshi's surrender. As the losers of this power struggle, Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi,
Of course, the only option is to run away with your tail between your legs.
What else could happen?
First of all, the local tyrant king has won the hearts of the people to his side through the "marriage test" - for those who are not financially strong enough, whoever can help them solve major marriage issues is equivalent to their biological father!
These are gun-toting bachelors!
Secondly, the King of United States has led the people's hearts and minds to the battlefield! With the flames of war, the authority of the King of United States will definitely increase...and the one he picked is a soft persimmon, and it is impossible to be defeated.
When the war is won, the King of the United States may be able to turn the United States into a kingdom!
Third, the King of United States did not know what method he used to win over the "Queen of Kaqing" Shimazu Noyoshi. With the support of the "Queen of Kaqing", on the territory of the Celestial Empire on the west coast of the North Xinzhou Continent, he has
No one can stop the king of the United States from continuously strengthening his royal power.
At this time, the only thing that Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi, the two political enemies of the King of United States, could hope to do was escape intact...
Zhu Hehao looked at the two uneasy leaders of the United States in front of him, and suddenly laughed: "The two of you are not allowed to resign, so you should stay in your original posts!"
To stay in their original posts? Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi both felt a little bit in their hearts. Are they going to hang them up and continue to criticize them?
"Your Majesty," Wei Zhongcheng said with a sad face, "my father sent me a letter a few days ago saying that he is old and frail, and wants to ask me to go back to bed and be filial. I want to be a filial son, and I can no longer be a loyal minister of the king. Please forgive me for not being loyal.
.”
What a filial son!
Zhu Hehao smiled bitterly and nodded. He was also a filial son, so how could he block others from being filial?
"Since the prime minister is filial, the lonely king will not retain him." Zhu Hehao said, "The United States of Xinzhou is in today's situation, and the prime minister is indispensable. The lonely king originally wanted to govern the new continent together with the prime minister.
Di... It's better to do this. Gu Huihui wrote to his father, recommending the Prime Minister to join the Ming Dynasty. With the talents of the Prime Minister, it is only a matter of time before he joins the cabinet.
In addition, let the prime minister's son take over the seat of the prime minister."
Zhu Hehao has given Wei a sufficient level of loyalty, and he has also sufficiently taken care of the interests of the Wei family - this shows that the local tyrant king still sees the nature of the United States very clearly!
After all, the United States is a united nation, and only the efforts of many families can make one country! This fundamental will not change just because Zhu Hehao drove Wei Zhongcheng away.
In fact, Zhu Hehao's expulsion of Wei Zhongcheng did not break the rules of the United States, because he was the largest shareholder of the United States! He took 30% of the shares and was the largest shareholder. What was wrong with controlling the Uijeongbu?
But Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi were wrong to try to sideline Zhu Hehao.
However, Zhu Hehao can drive away Wei Zhongcheng, but he cannot deprive the Wei family of 1%, let alone kill Wei Zhongcheng's predecessor in political affairs. Otherwise, other "shareholders" of the United States will come out to oppose Zhu Hehao. Even if Zhu Hehao
If the trenches can suppress them all, the United States will be defeated.
Wei Zhongcheng breathed out, knowing that the rich king was still abiding by the rules, so he quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to thank him.
"Your Majesty, I am also a filial son!" Zheng Xi also learned very quickly, "My father is also old and frail, so I will wait until I return to serve..."
"Uncle," Zhu Hehao interrupted Zheng Xi and said with a smile, "Stop pretending to be a filial son. Who doesn't know that you always make my grandpa angry? If you go back to be a filial piety, his old man will have to live a few years shorter."
! And my grandpa has so many children and grandchildren, not least of which is you... I think you should stay in Xinzhou."
Letting Wei Zhongcheng go while keeping Zheng Xi was of course a decision made by the wealthy king after careful consideration.
Firstly, it is because Wei Zhongcheng's methods are more powerful than Zheng Xi's. The Wei family only has 1% of the voting rights in the parliamentary government election of the United States of New Zealand, but Wei Zhongcheng can firmly hold the position of leader of the parliament, and can surpass those who have 15
% of the voting rights, this already illustrates the problem.
Secondly, both Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi were sent by Zhu Cihong, so they couldn't be driven away... Since one of them had to be kept, of course it was Zheng Xi who was easier to deal with.
Thirdly, Zheng Xi and his brothers hold 15% of the voting rights of the United States Congress! 15% and 1% have different meanings. Zhu Hehao can firmly suppress the 1% of the Wei family, but against the Zheng family
15% of the total, we must cooperate. And after driving away Zheng Xi, there is a certain chance of ushering in Zheng Jiangong! Isn’t that asking for trouble?
So it’s better to support Zheng Xi!
After hearing Zhu Hehao's words, Zheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He was no more loyal than Wei. Wei had already been an official in the Ming Dynasty before coming to Xinzhou. And he was just a scumbag at school... and Wei Zaode
He doesn't have many sons, but he can always make arrangements for Wei Zhongcheng. Zheng Xi's father, Zheng Zhilong, is different. Zheng Zhilong has too many sons, and Zheng Xi is not favored. Will he have to sit on the bench for the rest of his life when he returns?
Zhu Hehao said with a smile: "Uncle, you should continue to be the chief minister of the cabinet... There are big battles to be fought next, so we must maintain the stability of the parliamentary government and the cabinet office. As for the post of leader of the cabinet, Wei
Prime Minister, who do you think would be better?"
Wei Zhongcheng waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I have been upset since I received the letter from my father. I am not interested in government affairs. I don't know who can be the leader to discuss politics."
Zhu Hehao thought for a while and then said: "Today's situation is different from the past... It is a time of great struggle, not a time of great struggle for our country, China, but a great struggle of all countries in the world."
The United States seems to be in a corner, but it is actually at the center of a world of great conflict!
Therefore, those who hold political positions in the United States should not only be familiar with government affairs, but also be proficient in diplomacy and military affairs. It is best to understand the strategy of the Ming Dynasty in this great dispute.
Therefore, it is best for the new leader to be recommended by his father... Wei Lingxiang, uncle, what do you think?"
How clever!
Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi immediately understood what Zhu Hehao meant - the local tycoon still had to hold on to Emperor Zhu's lap, and asking Emperor Zhu to appoint a leader to discuss affairs was to show loyalty and filial piety...
However, Wei Zhongcheng and Zheng Xi still don't quite understand what Zhu Hehao said about the "era of great strife." The troubled times of the Warring States were the era of great strife. Today's Ming Dynasty is clearly a peaceful and prosperous age, so why is there such a great strife?
"Your Majesty," Wei Zhongcheng had to go back and talk to Emperor Zhu, so he had to ask clearly and not just talk nonsense, "What are you talking about in the era of great strife? And who is fighting with whom?"
After hearing this, Zhu Hehao laughed secretly in his heart and said: Although Wei Zhongcheng is a rare capable official, he is really not suitable to control the United States of New Zealand and compete with New France, New Spain and New England for hegemony!
"Prime Minister," he looked at Wei Zhongcheng and held out three fingers, "In this world of great strife, there are three things we are fighting for. The first is the Xinzhou Continent where we are! There are few people here, vast land, and rich resources. It is truly the world's largest continent.
Blessed land. If the Heavenly Dynasty obtains it, the Heavenly Dynasty will rule the world! If the Westerners obtain it, the Westerners will rule the world.
In recent years, not only our United States of New Zealand has developed rapidly, but the Westerners' New Spain and New England have also developed rapidly... There are already millions of people in New Spain who believe in Christianity! The population of New England
, also reaching hundreds of thousands. Although New France has few people, they are good at winning over Indians for their own use, which should not be underestimated.
Why is my king eager to march eastward into the mountains? Is it not to block the French and English from advancing westward? As long as the stone mountains are in our hands, the United States of New Zealand will not collapse. As long as the United States of New Zealand is here, we
