Shao Bao is an honorary title, one of the three orphans, and the difficulty of obtaining is no less than a title of Duke and Marquis.

Yue Fei fought against the Jin army and was named Shaobao. Yu Qian resisted the Oirat and defended the city of Beijing, but was only named Shaobao.

Generally speaking, honorary titles such as Sangu and Sangong cannot be obtained without great achievements or those who have assisted the emperor for many years.

Although in recent years, there have been excessive titles and titles in the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Zhilong has been granted the titles of Grand Tutor, overall, the imperial court still has fewer titles of Sangu and Sangong.

In recent years, as the court gained a foothold, it can be seen that Longwu was much more cautious about the gift of titles and various titles in order to restore the imperial court.

Now the court must not be able to give Zhao Ming a title of king, so he gave Zhao Ming the honorary title of Shao Guard and ordered Zhao Ming to supervise the military affairs of the three provinces of Nanzhili, Zhejiang and Shandong. In fact, it can be said that it is actually a good reward.

However, Zhao Ming did not want to accept this order because his subordinates did not receive promotion, and Zhejiang was the territory of Prince Zhu Yihai, so Zhao Ming could not supervise there. Hudong and Shandong were originally the sphere of influence of Donghai Town, so he did not get any benefits.

Seeing that the court sent Fu Shangrui to the governor and asked him to supervise the military affairs of Nanzhi, Shandong and Zhejiang, I believe that the emperor's intention must be to separate military and politically.

This is understandable to the court, but Zhao Ming is now unwilling to hand over his administrative rights.

Zhao Ming now has to spend millions of taels a year. Giving administrative power is equivalent to handing over financial power and returning local finances to the central government. Officials appointed by the court may not be able to implement his policies. The taxes collected will definitely not satisfy the consumption of Donghai Town, and the court will not be able to use so much money to support Donghai Town.

In this way, Donghai Town will be stuck, and maybe Donghai Town will collapse.

Furthermore, Zhao Ming did not trust the current Ming Dynasty system. Fundamentally speaking, it was actually ruled by man. Most of the time, one person or a few people would govern by relying on the instructions of superiors, which was a rule afterwards.

These wills are often unrestrained and override the laws and regulations. The governance method is done according to personal will. If the emperor is wise, it is okay, but if it is not wise, it is a disaster.

At present, the system of the Ming Dynasty, or dynasties throughout history, was actually ruled by man and acted according to human will and its requirements for interests.

This is why there are birds that have good bows hidden, and cunning rabbits that die and lack dogs to cook.

In this case, Zhao Ming will not hand over power unless society achieves change, realizes the rule of law, and achieves prior governance. According to the laws and regulations established in advance, the orders must be followed and all parties will abide by them.

Now, the politics of the Ming Dynasty obviously cannot do this. Usually, whoever is in power will follow whoever wants to do it.

If the administrative power is handed over and the will above is to limit yourself, wouldn't it be a cocoon?

At this time, Zhao Ming only believed in himself, and his subordinates had not been promoted and could not even get the credit of his subordinates. How could he lead the team in the future?

Fu Shangrui was a little shocked when he heard Zhao Ming's words. Li Zhizhi next to him also looked up slightly, looked at Zhao Ming, and lowered his head.

Ma Shiao, Chen Mingyu and others were also surprised when they entered the hall, but even after they understood Zhao Ming's intention, they could not accept this intention and could not give in.

Fu Shangrui was a little unbelievable, "The Duke of the State wants to refuse the order!"

Zhao Ming bowed again, loudly and said loudly: "This time, the regaining of lost land is entirely due to the soldiers' lives. The Mu family is very hardworking. I have obtained a generous title, but the soldiers and Mu family have not received any rewards. I am ashamed to take the merits alone. I beg Your Majesty to take back the fate!"

This time, the court suppressed all the talents recommended by Zhao Ming. In fact, He Tengjiao did it on purpose, with the purpose of creating opportunities for Fu Shangrui.

The two of them originally planned that Zhao Ming was awarded a reward, but the soldiers and bureaucrats under him would not receive a reward, so they would resent Zhao Ming. At that time, Fu Shangrui could write a letter to speak for them. He Tengjiao approved it again, so that Fu Shangrui could sell everyone's favor and let everyone see his energy, thus opening up the situation in Hudong.

Fu Shangrui was a little nervous when he saw Zhao Ming knowing it through. However, Zhao Ming did not accept the imperial edict, so he had no choice but to remain silent for a while before sighing calmly: "That's the case, our cabinet can only temporarily accept the imperial edict, and then quickly inform Your Majesty that you can make a mistake after reporting to Your Majesty."

Zhao Ming stood up and bowed, "There is a Lao Fu Pavilion, and I also wrote a letter to explain this."

Fu Shangrui immediately accepted the imperial edict and resealed it, and smiled reluctantly: "This is the best, otherwise this cabinet would not be like Your Majesty's explanation!"

At that moment, Zhao Ming talked with Fu Shangrui for a while, and the matter of promulgation made Fu Shangrui feel that Zhao Ming was not easy to deal with. He is now a newcomer and dare not reveal his ambitions and intentions. He was very polite during the conversation and did not act like a court member or a college student in charge of the commander.

After the two talked for a while, Fu Shangrui said goodbye and left. After he left, Ma Shiao couldn't help asking: "The emperor is afraid that the general refused the order, so how should he deal with it in the future?"

In feudal dynasties, the emperor held the highest power, and employed people were often just a matter of thought. As long as the emperor felt that you were unfaithful or threatened his status, even if he was the prime minister or even if he had high contributions, he would have to do it in just a matter of thought.

Yan Song and his son were powerful and had a moment ago, and they fell.

Of course, the court is not as strong as before. The vassal states have become stronger and the imperial power has declined. However, Donghai Town is to protect the Ming Dynasty after all. In the future, with the victory of the war, the authority of the court will gradually be established. At that time, the emperor will gradually regain power. When the people in the court find that the situation is getting better and the danger of the Ming Dynasty is no longer there, they have to talk about Zhao Ming. If the emperor does not trust Donghai Town, how should Donghai Town handle itself?

The hearts of Ma Shiao and others are actually very contradictory. On the one hand, they have to pursue their own interests, and on the other hand, they are bound by the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor. If they want to gain the trust of the emperor, they can live their own interests, and hope to coexist.

Zhao Ming's current mission is to fight against the Qing Dynasty. In the future, he must fight against the emperor and establish a balance between the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers. There are many more times when offending the emperor, so he is not worried.

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "It's okay, Your Majesty is wise, you should understand my intention. Su Song is always on the front line of the anti-Qing army and faces the threat of the Qing army. The most important thing is to command chaos. It must be decided by our commander and take control of the military and political power."

After refusing to enthronement, Zhao Ming immediately wrote a book to Zhu Luxin, explaining the current situation, and using retreat as an advance, expressing his willingness to obey Fu Shangrui's restraint. However, the soldiers in Donghai Town consumed a lot, and asked the court to allocate one million military expenses to provide sufficient military expenses for rewards.

In April, Kong Youde surrounded Wuzheng and the war broke out again in Jiangnan.

In May, Changsha is on its way.

Emperor Zhu Lujian had been in the study, handling government affairs for a whole day and reviewing a large number of memorials.

At this time, he picked up a memorial and looked at it. His face suddenly sank. He sighed for a long time, "If you want to revive the country, the first thing is to revive the majesty of the court, strengthen centralization, control local vassal states, and be as good as using your body to use your arms and fingers to integrate the power of the world and fight against Jiannu. Now I just want to regain administrative power and avoid separatist vassal states, but local vassal state ministers have selfish intentions and do not understand my intentions."
