Chapter 465 When a Worker Reaches the Top, He Has to Start a New Business

At night, in the Wang family mansion in the capital, countless carriages and horses parked on the streets, but it did not affect travel at all, because this whole street was owned by the Wang family many years ago.

On the plaque of the Wang family mansion, the golden word "Wang" shone brightly under the bright lights. With Xu Xin being conferred the title of Wu'an County King today, the Wang Mansion became truly worthy of the name.

Although Xu Xin said in front of all officials during the day that he would let the emperor rule the country, a person of his power, even if he chose to retreat to the second line, could not do it overnight. Before the handover was completely completed, Xu Xin was still the absolute power holder of the Ming Dynasty.

Even because of his special status and influence, even if he retreated to the second line, Xu Xin could still influence the Ming court in all aspects and become the most powerful person in reality.

So when Xu sent out the invitation, all those who received the invitation came to the Wang Mansion as soon as possible to wait for the teachings and arrangements of the Grand Tutor and Wu'an County King. Their attitude towards him was still the same as before, and there was no situation where people left and the tea was cold.

"Greetings, Grand Master!"

The living room of the Wang family mansion has become very large after expansion, enough to accommodate the civil and military officials who will attend the grand court meeting today. Of course, the number of people invited tonight is not as many as during the grand court meeting today, but it also occupies a large part of it.

Xu Xin has been in power for more than seven years and has completed most of the reform framework. He has suppressed all kinds of Neo-Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism. The Kong family in Shandong was also questioned and stripped of their titles. Now the world is dominated by his "Wangxue", the world of Ming Dynasty scholars, the surname Wang, Wang Shouren's king.

There are civil and military officials in the court, six ministries, various departments, and various courts. It can be said that he can set up a new court to support the operation of the Ming Empire at any time.

These are the "family assets" he has accumulated from "working" over the years. Now that he has encountered a ceiling when working in the Ming Dynasty, he must work alone, and his own "family assets" must be taken away.

"Greetings, Grand Tutor!"

Many important and capable officials in the court all saluted Xu Xin. Even if Xu Xin said that he was going to step down now, no one thought that he was really going to step down. After all, he was only in his early forties, at the peak of his youth and strength.

"Everyone sit down first."

Xu Xin waved his hand, and everyone sat down and waited for Xu Xin to speak.

"Everyone has seen what happened during the day. Your Majesty wants to rule the country. As a minister, I can't stop him too much. I can only give in."

After Xu Xin said this, there were scattered voices from below, such as the Grand Tutor considering the overall situation and the Emperor being aggressive. Obviously, most people felt that the Emperor was too much, and this was also the voice Xu Xin wanted to hear. He had to step down for the sake of the overall situation.

Xu Xin was the absolute power in the true sense of the Ming Dynasty. The basis for his reform was to seize the military power first, and truly control the military and political affairs. According to his current power and potential, even if he wanted to take a risk to change the world, it would probably succeed.

However, the consequence of doing so is that the Central Plains will be in chaos and wars will continue. Even if he can finally get a complete country, it will be devastated and broken everywhere, and it will take many years to recuperate.

Therefore, even if he says he has retired now, some people are still very nervous, fearing that he will feel uncomfortable again... and come up with a rebellion.

"Everyone knows my age. I have retired now. What should you do in the future..."

Xu Xin's next sentence made everyone even more uneasy.

Is Xu Xin old? In his forties, it is not considered old in later generations. He is younger than most people present. However, because of the emperor's "fear", he is forced to give in now. If he, the boss, retires, what should they do with this group of "factions"?

Choose a new boss?

Many people had this idea in their minds, and then shook their heads. There were civil and military officials present, including ministers in the capital and local officials. Many of them were big bosses in the Ming Dynasty. Such a group of people, except Xu Xin, the all-powerful Tai Shi, who would obey?

As for surrendering to the little emperor?

They were originally in the court, so what was the point of surrendering or not? With their qualifications, even if they really approached the emperor, it was likely that they would only be reused superficially, and it was unlikely that they would be promoted as confidants.

Moreover, some of the people present were already big shots. If they were promoted and reused again... another Grand Tutor Wang? Not everyone who sat in Xu Xin's position could calmly choose to give up power and abdicate.

The whole hall of civil and military officials was silent, and everyone looked at Xu Xin. The meaning was very clear, that is, you make the arrangements, and we all listen to you.

Some of them secretly speculated that perhaps the Grand Tutor was unwilling to abdicate and was still prepared to use them to control the court, but some truly smart people felt that things would not be so simple. If Xu Xin really wanted to control the government, he would not have done so decisively today.

"Your Majesty wants me to withdraw, so I have. You are all my old friends. If you stay, it will not be good... But if you establish a new country..."

"Be the first in the ancestral temple, open the first page of the family tree, leave your name in history, and be famous for generations..."

Xu Xin's plain words made many civil and military officials breathe faster. Be the first in the ancestral temple, open the first page of the family tree, leave your name in history, and be famous for generations. If there is such an opportunity, who would not want it!

It is easy to say that the family tree is newly opened. You just need to split up and establish another branch in another place. But if you want to build an ancestral temple as the ancestor, and leave your name in history, and be famous for generations, then your achievements must not be low.

Xu Xin has given an opportunity to establish a country again. Everyone present is a founding hero, so... it is not impossible.

It's just that for this matter, you must choose a good target, because everyone outside the Central Plains knows about Xu Xin's move to the vassal state. They know that most local small countries have poor environments and are far inferior to those in the Central Plains.

"I don't know, what did the Grand Master say?"

Among the courtiers, someone had the courage to ask questions.

"Japan!"

Xu Xin pointed to the map hanging on the wall next to him, where a boundary had been circled early.

Since he had long wanted to retire, he naturally started to plan a retreat.

He removed the vassals of the Ming Dynasty from the grasslands, Annan and even Nanyang, but in the east, there was only one Liaodong Renguo. That was his own son, and he was the most suitable to seize the founding territory of Japan, and he was prepared to take it himself. .

Around the land of China, considering the population, culture and acceptance of the ministers, Japan is the most suitable. The modern small life is developing well. Regardless of the factors of the US military, it is the only powerful country in East Asia besides China.

As for India... about the caste system, it is a good choice for you to establish a vassal state, establish a country, and separate and colonize. It is wise to use that as your base camp.

"Japan is indeed a pretty good place, but the grain and mineral deposits there seem to be..."

Some officials were moved. The culture and environment of Japan were the most suitable for people from the Central Plains. There would be no problem living there. However, the place was too barren and the local resources were not abundant.

Xu Xin had already made a comprehensive plan for this. He would learn from the small lives of later generations, keep local resources intact, and start the Age of Discovery to plunder external resources for development. If the sun never sets in the west, there is no reason why it cannot work in the east...
