Zhu Di said slowly: "The way of the emperor lies in the balance.
I am the Son of Heaven, the ruler of this balance, and if I fail to hold it, I will cause trouble.
In the past, if you were not taught to go to the West, the so-called tributary trade was just a blowing and singing in the temple, and people in the world naturally ignored it.
Not now, alas, he is willing to confess to me this filth hidden under the table."
Zheng He smiled and said: "The Auxiliary Duke is loyal and knows everything about His Majesty."
Zhu Di snorted and said, "However, if I follow his request, Wenxuan will have the heart of the world's wealthy, landlords, giants, and scholars."
I am the Son of Heaven, and I can't go against the trend, let alone him, once the situation is formed, although Wen Xuan is loyal, he can't go against the trend, in the past, Chen Qiao mutinied, and the yellow robe was added, could it be Zhao Kuangyin's original intention?"
Zheng He's heart sank, and he didn't dare to say more.
Zhu Di was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed again, and said: "Guan Zhong, Huan Gong thief, Han Xin, suffer the humiliation of his crotch; Chen Ping, the robber sister-in-law took bribes, and they all used it for fun.
Wu Qi was greedy, killed his wife and was confident, scattered gold to seek officials, and his mother died and did not return, but in Wei, the Qin people did not dare to go east, and in Chu, the three Jin did not dare to seek south.
Only the right moves, only the only moves The emperor of the ancients, the surname is more suspicious, as a result, those who have no malicious intent have evil thoughts, and those who have no rebellious heart are forced to rebel, Jianwen is not a living example of how to rule the world, only the way to rule it, what is not credible, there is no doubt" He stood up slowly and said to Zheng He: "Just abandon the tribute according to Wenxuan's words and change the market."
You have presided over a trip to the West and are familiar with the sea and the Western countries, and this time you will still be the main official, and I will choose another minister as a supplement.
The accompanying caravan is to attract investment from the people, and you are only responsible for announcing the responsibility of telling Wen Xuan that he is ready to go with you, no matter what, the whereabouts of that person must be found out."
Zheng He hurriedly bowed down and said, "The slave obeys the order" In the palace of the imperial grandson, Zhu Zhanji frowned slightly after listening to the news that Chen Wu had inquired about, and said unhappily: "The emperor's grandfather also favors Yang Xu too much, although Yang Xu has made many meritorious deeds, but he is entangled in forces and widely planted party henchmen, but it is not appropriate this time, Yang Xu has done so many things in Jiangnan again, first using Liaodong Shilin to confront Jiangnan, and then using the market to demagogue."
Now, he is using this to invite people to buy people's hearts."
Chen Wu said: "What His Highness said is that if you talk about paying tribute and prospering the market, although it is possible, it should not be mentioned by him."
Even if it is admonishment, can't you say it to the emperor in private Now in front of the Manchu Dynasty, since the emperor is compliant, what the government and the opposition are thinking about is not His Majesty's virtue, but his Yang Xu's grace.
He Yang Xu has been an official for a long time, don't you know how to be a minister?"
Zhu Zhan is basically a surname with a wide outside and a taboo inside, and when he heard this, he nodded, but there was a cold chill in his voice, which was still a little immature: "Governing the world for the monarch is the first thing to be virtuous."
The way to govern the country is to choose the virtuous Yang Xu's behavior, which is called righteousness, but in fact, it is to invite people to buy people's hearts, and their hearts can be punished, and these people should immediately let them go home.
Hmph, if you are alone, these people will not be used" "When the emperor agreed" Xia Xun was scolded back to the pavilion, and he didn't think so, now Xia Xun is very free and easy, and he has long been honored and disgraced, and he sees the officialdom and future lightly.
No, he just went back with his front foot, and Zheng He chased after him with his back foot.
Hearing that Zhu Di really promised to give up the tributary trade and change to a city ship, Xia Xun couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The development of history is formed by the joint action of a number of factors, and it is by no means any one aspect of the factor that can determine the overall situation, although it is said that the Ming Dynasty in history had the opportunity to change from a land power to a maritime hegemon, but its downfall is only entangled in the sea ban, which is not right.
In fact, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the wealthy giants have begun to go to sea with giant ships, and the ban is nothing, and later, the Ming court also officially released the sea ban, and in the late Ming Dynasty, the Chinese fleet is still very strong.
If it weren't for the natural disasters that came one after another at this time, allowing the Manchu Qing to take advantage of it, leading troops into the customs and killing the Ming Dynasty, barbarizing China into China, and setting the whole China back for 300 years, then although the development process of the Han people would be bumpy, they would still lead the world.
Nowadays, the problem of the north has been solved to a considerable extent, at least, because of the transformation of the north, even if history will go back to the old road, this process will be longer than the original history for a hundred years, such a long time, has been enough to make the Ming Dynasty, which started more than 100 years late in the Age of Discovery, become a maritime empire that dominates the four seas again.
The Ming Dynasty will no longer have the hopeless situation of the Chongzhen era, and its transformation is likely to be a struggle and alternation between the emerging capitalist forces and the old feudal forces, so that the Chinese nation will not embark on the road of great strides and retrogression.
Therefore, Xia Xun said everything he should have said, even if the emperor didn't adopt it, he had no regrets.
However, if the Ming Dynasty had changed the maritime trade system at this time, it would not have been suppressed by the civilian clique and opposed by the entire ruling class, and they would all have benefited.
In this kind of frequent exchanges with other countries in the world, the advanced civilizations of the entire world will be integrated into China in a timely manner, and all rivers will be embraced.
If this is the case, the Chinese nation will take many detours.
Such a result is of course what Xia Xun is happy to see.
Zheng He smiled and gave Xia Xun a positive reply, he had the heart to remind Xia Xun that he should rein in his edge, but these words are not easy to say, not only is it suspected of slandering the saint, but once the explanation is not clear, it will cause Xia Xun to misunderstand, and he will be suspicious.
Anyway, His Majesty is a meritocracy, and he has the world in mind, so he didn't take this matter to heart, so he didn't mention it.
Thinking of this, Zheng He swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and only said: "Guogong, in addition to telling you about this, our family also has a secret decree to announce to Guogong." ” "Oh" Xia Xun hurriedly got up when he heard this, and said solemnly: "Minister Yang Xu, listen to the holy decree" Zheng He also stood up and told Xia Xun the emperor's secret order, Xia Xun was stunned when he heard it: "I have another year to go to the West to go to the West, so everything is ready to stop, and now I want to go to the West, this time is long-lasting, I am afraid that a year or two will disrupt my overall plan."
Zheng He saw him stunned, and felt a little strange: "Guogong, is there any problem?"
"Ahh Zheng He smiled and said: "Yes, there is no need to work Guogong for such a thing, no wonder Guogong is surprised."
It's just that this is the only piece of the emperor's heart."
Zheng He sighed and said: "The emperor is eloquent and strategic, compared to the Han Wu Tang Sect, he will not let it go at all."
However, to this day, there are still many stubborn people who are angry with Your Majesty.
The emperor is not worried about that person's restoration, in the past, when that person was in power, he controlled the world's soldiers and horses, and he still had no choice but to do it Your Majesty, let alone now. ” Zheng He and Xia Xun are very familiar with each other, and at this moment they are meeting in a small study, only the two of them, Zheng He is also open and honest, and said: "It's just that this person's identity is special, if he is very quiet and thinks about it, and makes the wind and rain outside, not only the government and the opposition are uneasy, but also the reputation of His Majesty.
At the beginning, Taizu Bintian, Jianwen trusted to annihilate and mutilate the flesh and bones, and now the emperor is forced to raise troops as a last resort.
It was Jianwen who was ashamed of himself, ashamed to see the emperor's uncle, and died, and the emperor only ascended the throne, if, now Jianwen suddenly appeared again, how could the emperor face the world" Xia Xun nodded, of course he knew, don't say that Zhu Yunwen called on the old ministry of the dynasty to turn against Zhu Di, just let out the rumors, saying that he is still alive, Zhu Di's throne will be extremely embarrassing, and every time he comes to the court, I am afraid that he will be on pins and needles, and he will not have enough confidence in the face of hundreds of officials, although he Xia Xun knows that Zhu Yunwen has already been frightened, and it is too late to hide, so he doesn't dare to block Zhu Di, but Zhu Di doesn't know.
Could it be that he Xia Xun ran to fight with Zhu Di's white chest: "Your Majesty, rest assured, that Zhu Yunwen is no different from dead alive, he is far away from foreign lands, and he doesn't dare to reveal his identity at all" Zheng He said: "But to grasp his whereabouts, it is really difficult to climb to the sky, except for the prince, the emperor really can't find a suitable candidate, this messenger can only work hard for the prince."

Xia Xun said in his heart: "The trip to the West, I'm afraid I can't shirk it, and my plan has to be changed slightly." ” Thinking like this, Xia Xun suddenly remembered one thing in his heart, and he was anxious to think about it, so he said: "Eat the king's luck, worry about the king, this is the duty of a courtier, what is not hard."
Since the emperor has sent something, Yang Xu naturally wants to carry it out.
It's just that Yang wants to go with his father-in-law, and whenever he goes, he has to go ashore before his father-in-law, and make a secret visit, if he wants not to arouse the vigilance of that person, he must have a suitable identity."
Xia Xun paced in the room for a while, secretly calculated and understood, and said to Zheng He: "To complete this mission, I need Shuangyuwei" Zheng He was surprised and said: "Shuangyu Wei" Xia Xun said: "Yes, the officers and soldiers of Shuangyu were originally pirates, and they are familiar with how to deal with Fanyi.
You might as well order the officers and soldiers of the Shuangyu Guard to be a guard in the West, and every time they arrive, Yang will go ahead, and ask them to change into civilian clothes and go back to their old jobs.
On the Western Sea, there are as many pirates as possible, and my father-in-law naturally knows it.
If that man is hiding somewhere, although I have heard that there is a pirate fleet of mostly Orientals, I will not suspect that he is an officer or soldier, so as not to startle the snake."
"Wonderful" Zheng He high-fived and praised: "Yes, it is best to use this method to disguise your identity, otherwise, our family is still worried that the Guogong will land first, if there are fewer people, it will be difficult to find out the news, and the other may be in personal danger."
If a person brings too much, what identity will he go to when he hears it, and he will surely flee away, and it will be even more difficult to find him.
Pretend to be a pirate, it's best.
The Shuangyu guards were originally pirates, and they went back to their profession without any flaws haha, good plans and good plans, our family will immediately reply to the saint, and order the Shuangyu guards to go to the West with them."
"Father-in-law and slow" Xia Xun hurriedly called Zheng He and asked, "When will I go to the West this time?"
Zheng He said: "Everything is ready, you can purchase goods at any time and set sail for the ocean."
It's just that now that the tribute is going to be struck and the market is prosperous, the emperor has to appoint Wenchen to participate, and at the same time attract investment from the people.
Zheng He calculated a little and said: "It's April now, three months should be enough, and you can set sail in July."
Xia Xun said: "In July, then Yang and his father-in-law will go to meet the king, take advantage of these few months, Yang wants to go back to Jinling to have a small reunion with his family."
Hehe, this trip to the far side, at least a year or two, so" Zheng He was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "This is human nature, it should be so, it should be so."
