The discussions in Zhaoren's palace continued until the afternoon and hour. Others could not understand the specific process. They just vaguely heard that the emperor had lost his temper and almost turned over the table and cursed.

However, the day after the discussion, the imperial edict was delivered: the court reopened the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and the left and right governors of the Governor's Office, the Governor's Office, the Governor's Office, the Governor's Office, and other chief officials will be reported to the Ministry of War, and will be approved by the emperor after reading the instructions, and will be written as soon as possible, and all the envoys will be heard.

However, unlike the fifth military governor's office on the first day of the State, although the officials of the governor's office also served in court, except for military and national affairs, they had no right to make suggestions on the formulation of other policies of the court, which represents a clear division of civil and military affairs.

The Governor's Office of the Five Army commanded the troops in the world, formulated all the specific strategies involved in military operations in the Ming Dynasty and the number of soldiers invested. However, it only commanded the troops, but did not have the power to dispatch troops. The power to dispatch troops was in the Ministry of War, and the two yamen formed a situation of mutual restraint to prevent any party from overpowering power to harm the national security of the Ming Dynasty.

A few days later, another imperial edict was issued from the palace. This time, it was a series of imperial edicts related to personnel appointments and removals.

Wen Tiren, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, was the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace, and was the first-rank official, and still served as the Chief Secretary of the Cabinet.

Sun Chuanting, the governor of Jin Ji Liao and the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, was the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, the first-rank official and second-level assistant to the cabinet, was exempted from the position of governor of Ji Liao.

Lu Xiang, the governor of Xuanda of Jin, was promoted to the Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall, and was the first-rank official. He was relieved of the position of Governor of Xuanda.

Chen Qiyu, a Grand Secretary of the Dong Pavilion of Jin, was a Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, a first-rank official and a supporting minister of the cabinet.

Li Banghua, a Grand Secretary of the Dongge of Jin, was the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, a first-rank official and an auxiliary minister of the cabinet. He was removed from his position as the left censor of the Inspectorate, and his position was taken over by Shi Bangyao, the Right Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Court.

Hou Xun, a Grand Secretary of the Dongge of Jin, was the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, and was the first-rank official and the auxiliary minister of the cabinet.

Fan Jingwen, a Grand Secretary of the Dong Pavilion of Jin, was a Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion, and was a first-rank official and a supporting minister of the cabinet.

He agreed to the former assistant minister of the cabinet, Wang Yingxiong, and Zhang Zhifa requested to retire, and specially granted two jade Ruyi a pair and two thousand taels of silver, and sent a team of Jinyiwei to escort him back to his hometown.

Although the system of the Three Halls and Two Pavilions of the Ming Dynasty has been established for a long time, most cabinet ministers have only achieved the position of the Two Pavilions of the Grand Secretary. As for the rank of the Three Halls of the Grand Secretary, it has been a long time since I saw it. Unexpectedly, the emperor gave four at once, which is the largest reward since the Ming Dynasty. This move shocked the civil servants: the old Zhu family finally produced a generous emperor.

After the imperial edict was issued, the Ministry of War Military Selection Department immediately dispatched all its members. Under the leadership of Liu Yuanqing, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, he brought the imperial edict to Shenyang. After conveying the order, he immediately began to go deep into the army, review the achievements reported by each department, and then report to the court as soon as possible.

Just as all these matters were in an orderly manner, Van Bronhorst and others, who had been waiting in the Beijing Inn for a few days, finally met the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty.

The envoys of the two countries arrived in the capital the day after the team who reported the victory entered Beijing. After entering the inn where Honglu Temple specially received foreign guests, the envoys of the two countries made a request to meet the Emperor of Ming after two days of rest.

After the Honglu Temple reported the matter to the palace, Zhu Youjian specially recruited Chen Qiyu into the palace for a discussion, and then fully authorized him the negotiations with the special envoys of the two countries.

"Dear Deputy Prime Minister Chen, this is a letter of nationality commissioned by my government to submit to the Ming government. I hope that the two governments can sit together and conduct serious negotiations on things that both countries are concerned about, and reach a compromise and agreement in the end.

Our Dutch government is cautious and optimistic about the end of the matter. We hope that the negotiators of the two countries can frankly exchange views and opinions of each other and make their best efforts to achieve the ultimate success of the negotiation! Thank you!"

In the spacious lobby of the Honglu Temple Yamen, Chen Qiyu, wearing a red official uniform, stood in the middle with a solemn expression, and was receiving a letter of nationality submitted by the Dutch special envoy Van Bronhorst. There were also several people in the hall, including Zou Weilian, Minister of Rites, Li Jinfan, Minister of the Honglu Temple, and Fang Yongzhi, Chief of the Sibin Office. The Huang surname naturally assumed the responsibility of translator.

"Well, although I don't know why your country came, I will treat the noble envoy with courtesy. As for the negotiations mentioned by the noble envoy, haha, let's see what's going to be discussed. I can't reply to you for the time being.

By the way, I want to introduce you to a famous minister of this dynasty, Zou Dehui and Zou Butang!"

Chen Qiyu took the letter of nationality handed over by Van Bronhorst and turned sideways. Fang Yongzhi quickly stepped forward and took it back aside. Chen Qiyu, who was well versed in people's hearts, immediately pushed Zou Weilian out.

Now this kind of ceremony of accepting Chinese letters in the standing hall made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and the other party’s name made him feel awkward. He would have to negotiate with the other party later, which made Chen Qiyu, who was accustomed to giving orders, feel a little unhappy.

What kind of negotiation?

What qualifications do you have to talk to the new Wuying Palace Grand Secretary?

Although this old bureaucrat didn't know how to negotiate, he was familiar with how to control the situation. As his words came to his feet, Zou Weilian, who was standing beside him, stepped forward, smiled and nodded at Van Bronhorst as saying hello, and then waited for Chen Qiyu to continue speaking with a smile.

"Since the envoy is a special agent of the Dutch court, he should be responsible for important positions in the court. This position of Zou Dehui and Zou Butang is of great reputation as the Zou Butang."

Seeing Van Bronhorst's confused look on his face, Chen Qiyu suppressed the urge to laugh loudly and continued the introduction.

"Zoubutang is now the Minister of Rites of our dynasty. He is highly respected in the court and is highly respected by the emperor and ministers. Before his promotion, he was ordered by the emperor to govern Fujian, and in the sixth year of Chongzhen, he was commanded by the Fujian coastal defense guerrillas at that time. He is now the Earl Zheng of Jinghaibo of the Ming Dynasty. He fought with the navy of your country in Kinmen and Luowan. Now he is a great man. He is a great man. He is right? Haha, hehehehe!"

After Huang's official translation of Chen Qiyu's words, the polite Van Bronhorst's expression changed drastically, and he quickly stroked his right hand and bowed to the smiling white-haired old man in front of him and said, "Oh, my God! So you are Gao Guan Zou! Your name has spread widely in our Dutch Navy and can be compared with Count Zheng!"

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, eight large Dutch gunships invaded the coastal areas of Fujian. Zou Weilian ordered Zheng Zhilong to lead his troops to meet the enemy, and severely damaged the Dutch army in the waters of the Liaoluo Bay area, sinking four ships, and seriously injuring four ships. After this battle, the Netherlands, known as the sea coachman, never dared to underestimate the Ming Dynasty again.

"It's easy to say, haha, so-called "no fight" will not be known. Although I won the conflict a few years ago, I won the Ming Dynasty in a small victory, but I am still impressed by the giant ships used by your country. It seems that the craftsmen and investigative matters of your country are quite commendable!"

Zou Weilian smiled and bowed her hand slightly to reply, saying that he knew Chen Qiyu's method very well, which was equivalent to giving the other party a warning and taking the initiative before the negotiations began.

Sure enough, Van Bronhorst's momentum had mostly subsided when talking to Chen Qiyu just now, and after saying a few polite words, he stepped aside.
Chapter completed!
