Chapter 881: 882 Operation Balance
Chapter 881 Operation Balance 882
The reason why the Dahua Empire can develop so rapidly is all due to the "standing out" of the prince Zhao Yu. This previously unknown prince has suddenly become a rising political star in the court of the Great China Empire.
I don’t know how he suddenly became enlightened. Anyway, he has been extremely active in the past year or so and has become a strong competitor for that position.
The officials who support him have very good local political achievements. They can sign cooperation agreements with investors from various countries, allowing these foreign investors to open factories in their jurisdictions, pay taxes, and directly attract Improved the political status of these officials.
In turn, with the strong support of these officials, the voice of the prince Zhao Yu has become increasingly important, and he has become an important force influencing the political decision-making of the Dahua Empire.
No matter how you look at it, His Highness the Prince is now in trouble, and it is not a problem that Emperor Zhao Kai or Prince Zhao Ji can easily handle.
The funds of the Ministry of Industry and Industry are provided by Zhao Yu’s supporters, which makes a series of work of the Ministry of Industry and Industry inseparable from Zhao Yu’s full support.
That old guy Chen Jing was originally a fox who couldn't afford to get up early. Now he has to ask Zhao Yu for alms when building water conservancy and paved roads. Naturally, he maintains a close relationship with Zhao Yu.
On the other hand, the Ministry of Industry of the Dahua Empire manages many factories, and the technological research and development of these factories cannot be separated from the guidance of those who support Zhao Yu. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry is naturally more biased towards Zhao Yu.
Jiang Run, the Minister of Rites, has recently publicly expressed his support for the diplomatic strategy of the prince Zhao Yu. As an official of the Ministry of Rites of the Great China Empire, he is responsible for diplomatic affairs. Naturally, he hopes that the Great China Empire and the Tang Empire will maintain a good cooperative relationship.
Only he, the client, could feel the real pressure from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Empire, so he has always been a staunch "dove". After being ravaged by the Tang Dynasty diplomats several times, he gradually discovered a little trick: before talking about things with the Tang Empire, he should first establish a relationship with Zhao Yu, and things would often be easier.
Sometimes you can even get some unexpected surprises through Zhao Yu - Jiang Run is not a fool, he certainly knows which thigh to embrace.
Wang Yucai, the Minister of Household Affairs, is in charge of money and grain. Of course, he also knows the important position of Zhao Yu and his family in the financial revenue of the Dahua Empire, so he is actually not willing to become an enemy of Zhao Yu.
Although as the head of the household department, he knew that he should remain neutral and loyal to the emperor Zhao Kai, but in the actual operation process, he still had to consider Zhao Yu's feelings.
There is no way. The current situation is: if the officials of Zhao Yu's group mess around casually, the national finance will be in deficit next month, and he, the Minister of Household Affairs, will also be in dire straits.
Although the Ministry of War often disobeys Emperor Zhao Kai's wishes, Shen Chuan, the Minister of War, still has loyalty. He is His Majesty the Emperor's man, and no one dares to win over this Ministry of War talker easily.
In practice, this was very taboo for the emperor. To reach into the military was always an act of seeking death. Zhao Ji did not dare. He was hoping that Zhao Yu would impatiently win over the Ministry of War, but Zhao Yu was not fooled.
However, even though Zhao Yu did not take action, the Ministry of War was actually somewhat biased in favor of Zhao Yu: The core of the strategy of defending the East and Tuxi formulated by Shen Chuan, the Minister of War, was to stabilize the Tang Empire. This idea coincides with Zhao Yu's support of the decision to have good relations with the Tang Empire. Politically, Shen Chuan naturally has a good impression of Zhao Yu.
On the other hand, many of the weapons and equipment purchased by the army of the Dahua Empire were "produced" with Zhao Yu's help. Although most people don't know about this, well-informed people have heard about it.
As we all know, Zhou Qiang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was already a member of Zhao Yu. His public support for Zhao Yu was no longer a matter of a day or two. Compared with several other departments, the Ministry of Personnel was simply the headquarters of the prince Zhao Yu.
Li Hu Li Bing Xing Gong, the six most important real power departments of the Great China Empire to maintain the operation of the empire, five of them all sided with Zhao Yu, only the Ministry of Punishment has always been the territory of the eldest prince, His Royal Highness Zhao Ji.
Coupled with the wily and seemingly neutral Prime Minister Chu Muzhou, the direction of the entire Dahua Empire's court has unknowingly changed.
This situation contrast seems a bit subtle: it is obvious that the strength of His Royal Highness is not enough, and this is reflected in the political struggle, which directly reflects the dangerous state of the prince and his family's moral incompetence.
It is a pity that Prince Zhao Ji does not have the guidance of an expert, nor does he have a huge economic system to support him. All he has is the preference of His Majesty the Emperor, and a lonely Ministry of Punishment.
The Ministry of Justice of the Dahua Empire is in charge of justice and trials. Once you hear the functions of this department, you can guess that this place has basically been penetrated by the intelligence department of the Datang Empire, just like a sieve.
Under such circumstances, the young comrade Zhao Ji is no different from a polished commander - it is already an impossible task for him to make a comeback.
Silver Fox Tavern, a large chain tavern with branches in almost all cities in all countries, a meeting was being held in the branch in the capital of the Dahua Empire.
"A little too much force." Du Jia lowered his eyes and glanced at the dandelion ring on his finger, and said to the various people sitting around the conference table: "Our purpose is very clear, now Zhao Yu's family is a dominant one, which is not what the higher-ups want to see." The yellow-haired editor-in-chief of "My Emperor" newspaper said with some reluctance: "I said there should be some room for Zhao Kai and Zhao Ji... Now if If we turn around again, our purpose will probably be discovered.”
The specific plan was implemented by everyone present. No one expected that the three provinces and six ministries of the Great China Empire would all fall before the Tang Empire made any efforts.
The original plan was to secretly manipulate the officials and prime ministers to side with Zhao Yu, gradually control half of the court, fight against the emperors Zhao Kai and Zhao Ji, and create conflicts between the two sides.
But now, unknowingly, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household began to fall in favor of Zhao Yu, and there were also speculators in the Ministry of War who were ready to side with Zhao Yu, which suddenly made the situation get out of control.
Nearly all the young and Dangerous leaders in the city were trimming their nails with a file and said without raising their heads: "So what if our purpose is discovered? Even if they know it, can they still stop us from taking action?"
Du Jia put his hands together, sighed and said: "It would be good if we could operate covertly. If those people confirm our purpose, the operation will encounter a lot of resistance. It will increase the difficulty of the task and ruin the big thing. Even if we die to apologize, we can't compensate for delaying His Majesty's important event!"
"If it doesn't work, will I rebel? Jump to Zhao Ji's side?" The editor-in-chief of "My Emperor" newspaper on the side asked tentatively.
An ordinary-looking woman sitting at the far end raised an objection: "Isn't that the same as telling others that our purpose is indeed to split the Great China Empire?"
This woman is the most famous doctor in the capital of the Great China Empire. Although she is young, she has superb medical skills. She is also a transcendent being who can speak well among many dignitaries.
At a critical moment like her, technical talents who can make people live a long -lasting life, many people who think they are valuable will give a few noodles.
Du Jia then expressed his opinion: "For people like Chu Muzhou, letting Zhao Yu become emperor and splitting the Great China Empire are two different things... They can tolerate Zhao Yu coming to power, but they are unlikely to Allow the Great China Empire to break up.”
After a pause for a few seconds, he continued: "If they become vigilant and start to unite to confront us **** for tat, then the success rate of the subsequent series of operations will have to be re-evaluated."
“Then what should we do now?” Someone asked this question, and everyone looked at Du Jia.
Du Jia thought for a few more seconds, and after going through all the relevant forces in his mind, he spoke out his plan again: "There are no clear forces now, only Zhao Chen and Zhao Jie are left." These are royal."
He looked around at everyone present: "Find a way to find out what the two of them are talking about! If they are Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai... the two ends of the scale... that's almost it."
The current attitude of these two princes who held military power after Feng Kezhi's death is indeed very important. If Zhao Kai is willing to help Zhao Ji and end the battle himself, then the balance of power between the two sides is indeed comparable. For the Tang Empire, it was indeed the best situation for the Great China Empire to have two forces of equal strength.
“Wonderful!” The boss of the Black Club who was manicuring his nails immediately became energetic: “Does that mean that Operation Balance can start immediately?”
“Yes, if the plan is completed in advance, Operation Balance can indeed be started immediately.” Du Jia once again gave an affirmative answer.
Just for a moment, everyone’s expressions became solemn. This was a big event for them.
It can be said that one of their main purposes of lurking in the Dahua Empire for so many years is to pave the way for Operation Tianping. Due to a strange combination of circumstances, they actually completed the tasks assigned to them by their superiors ahead of schedule.
Either way, this is a good thing! The seemingly peaceful world seems to be about to stir up trouble again because of the efforts of these people.
"Then, let's take action! I'm waiting for your news here. For your Majesty's sake!" Du Jia stood up and looked down at everyone present with his chin raised.
“Long live my emperor! Long live the empire!” Everyone shouted and stood up. After standing at attention, they held their heads high and sang together.
