An emperor who is not constrained in the slightest is really terrible, you know, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have quite distinct personalities, if they are not constrained in the slightest, it is only a matter of time before the world is in chaos.
Sun Chuanting understood Bi Ziyan's worries, thought silently for a while, and suddenly said, "My lord, you are still in a hurry." ” Bi Ziyan was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Yes, I'm in a hurry." ” Although he smiled, he was very emotional in his heart, no wonder he was anxious, he was already in his sixties, Sun Chengzong was in his seventies, how many years would they last?
Sun Chuanting's prestige is insufficient, and the people behind him are all cultivated by the emperor, if he and Sun Chengzong are Zhishi, all the rights of the Ming Dynasty will be in the hands of the Qianqing Palace.
This matter is quite sensitive, Sun Chuanting didn't say anything more, they have worked together for many years, and they have tacit understanding in the face of many problems.
After a few brief exchanges, the two turned around and went back to the cabinet.
At the same time, Fu Changzong and Zhang Bingwen, the secretary of the household department, left the household department and were on their way to the palace cabinet.
Zhang Bingwen vaguely saw the white hair on Fu Changzong's temples, and sighed, "My lord, the public resentment caused by the 'Tian Mu Policy' is increasing day by day, and the lower officials are worried that if it is forcibly promoted, it may lead to civil unrest. ” Daming's chronic illness involves all aspects, in the fields, there are quite a 'beneficiary', and the victim can't speak out, if it is a little guided, there may really be a big mess, especially Nan Zhili!
Fu Changzong has been in charge of the household department for many years, and he has also experienced it in Shaanxi, so he knows the stakes and interests, and said with a firm expression: "These problems are exactly what we are facing and must be changed......
"Xia Guan understands."
Zhang Bingwen was Fu Changzong's old subordinate, and he knew that this old boss had always been in line with the attitude of the Qianqing Palace, so he said for a moment: "My lord, the tax handed over to the imperial court by the Shenlong Mansion this year is four million taels, in addition, there are 10 million taels into the internal treasury, and there is a large amount of grain purchased from overseas, and the amount landed this year has been as high as six million stone ......."
Fu Changzong understood what he meant, and said: "The Shenlong Mansion has always been under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and its affairs are in charge of the celebrant supervisor, and the household department should not fight its idea."
The treasury should be much better off this year, and the Ministry of Industry and the army can save a lot of money......"
Zhang Bingwen didn't wait for Fu Changzong to finish speaking, and interrupted, "What Xia Guan wants to say is that King Xin." ” Fu Changzong was stunned, and then remembered that King Xin went to sea in March last year, and it has been more than a year and a half now, and he should have arrived at the place marked on the map in Western Europe.
At the same time, he also understood what Zhang Bingwen meant.
The sea trade of the Shenlong Mansion has not yet been fully opened, and it has earned tens of millions of taels of silver every year, if the king of faith reaches a sea trade agreement with various countries in Western Europe, the volume of the Shenlong Mansion will expand rapidly, and it is not a joke to be rich and rival the country!
Fu Changzong's heart turned, knowing Zhang Bingwen's worries.
The Ming Dynasty has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, if the Shenlong Mansion is rich and rivals the country, I am afraid that it will cause changes in all aspects, especially the shock of the court situation, which is not trivial!
Fu Changzong naturally knew more things than Zhang Bingwen, and he pondered for a while, and said, "This matter, the official knows it in his heart, and the cabinet naturally knows it, it is a matter of the emperor, you and I need to be cautious......
After a while, I will go into the palace to accompany the emperor to dinner, and ask again. ” The last sentence is obviously to appease Zhang Bingwen and others who share his concerns.
Zhang Bingwen's expression did not change much, and he raised his hand and said, "Yes, the lower official understands." ” Fu Changzong didn't say much, and sighed lightly in his heart.
Daming has reached a change that has not been seen in a thousand years, and it can no longer be described as intricate, and everyone's shoulders and hearts are not easy.
No matter how turbulent the situation is outside, the affairs of the cabinet are still carried out in an orderly manner.
The fifty questions drawn up by the council have been sent to the cabinet, and the backup has been sent to the celebrant and Zhu Xu's desk.
Looking at these fifty questions, Zhu Xu pinched his chin and his expression was a little strange.
Article 1: 'Ask Bi Ge Lao to explain why his family has 150 acres of land and three compounds?'
’ Article 2: 'Why is the grandson of the old Bi Ge able to enter the office before he is twenty, is there any suspicion of favoritism?'
’ Article 3: 'The ancestral tomb of the old Bige has been repaired again and again, covering an area of 60 acres, as prosperous as an imperial tomb, why is it so absurd?
’ …… There are a total of 50 articles, and only one is a case involving the Yangzhou government, and the others are basically aimed at Bi Ziyan, and it is obvious that the parliament intends to take this opportunity to use the 'moral' issue to overthrow Bi Ziyan.
Zhu Xu pinched his chin and thought quietly.
Obviously, this group of people in the parliament has not yet shaken off the trap of the party being the same and dividing, and they cannot embody the kind of function he envisioned for the cabinet to pick up the gaps and help the gains and losses.
"There is a long way to go," Zhu Xu said to himself......
Zhu Xu closed the notebook, looked up at Cao Huachun opposite, and said, "What does the cabinet say?"
” Cao Huachun said: "The cabinet is calm, presumably Bige Lao has a way to deal with it." ” Zhu Xu nodded and shook his head when he listened, and said, "Then it must be boring, forget it, I won't watch it."
Jin Yiwei's side, is there anything in return?
” Cao Huachun frowned slightly, took a step forward, and said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Feijun's secret report may not be one or two people, the Jinyi Weiba ambassador, there may be three, four, or even five involved in the case, even if it is not direct, there are indirect or blind eyes, as for Luo Yangxing and Zhu Zonghan, it is difficult to say at present, there is no evidence." ” Jinyiwei is a special institution, the eight ambassadors are four or five years short, and the long ones are seven or eight years, Luo Yangxing is even more Jinyiwei family, Zhu Zonghan is also deep-rooted, and if you want to secretly check them, the difficulty can be imagined.
"Tell Jiang Feijun not to startle the snake."
Zhu Xu's eyes were cold, and he said, "Tell the Military Intelligence Department again and let them keep an eye on it."
Miyazato ......
Clean up again. ” Cao Huachun's expression did not move, and he bowed and said, "Yes." ” Zhu Xu waved his hand and looked out the window leisurely.
Zhu Youzhen has been gone for a long time, and if you calculate the time, it is time to go to Europe.
Just when Zhu Xu was calculating the time, the fleet led by Zhu Youzhen was not far from Europe.
Hongwu, on the deck, there is a round table, Zhu Youzhen and Tang Ruowang are sitting opposite each other, the two are playing chess, and they are also chatting.
Behind Zhu Youjian stood the internal supervisor Feng Zhu, the admiral Ao Bai, Zheng Zhilong, etc., as well as some professors and doctors from the Political Yuan, such as Li Yizao and others.
Everyone was accustomed to it, and calmly watched the two play against each other.
Tang Ruowang held the black, and said with a smile after falling: "Lord Wang, although more than thirty ships have been lost, it is a miracle that such a huge fleet can reach Europe safely. ” Zhu Youzhen's visit was half-willing, and he listened to John Tang and others along the way, plus the books he read, and he was full of bad feelings towards Europe.

After a year and a half of getting along day and night, John Tang already knew the cold-faced prince in front of him very well, and said: "Lord Wang, the Hongwu is a giant even in Europe, plus there are more than a hundred large and small warships, unless Europe is crazy, it will not attack you, please rest assured." ” Zhu Youzhen held the white chess piece, fell calmly, and said lightly: "Sir, does your God really have a benevolent heart?"
” Tang Ruowang is quite eager to win over the Ming Dynasty to join the religion, you know, this is not only in a high position, the influence in the Ming Dynasty is incomparable, but also the brother of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if he believes in religion, the entire Ming Dynasty will become God's people is far away?
John Tang longed in his heart, but his face was quite calm, with a look of charity, and he smiled: "The prince is talking about benevolence, I am talking about mercy, the meaning is actually the same, God has mercy on the world, and is willing to treat the world to suffer, so that the world will become a world of love." ” John Tang didn't say those dogmas, what he said was close to the Ming culture, which was easy to accept.
Zhu Youzhen roughly understood in his heart that it was a copy of Buddhism, and with this thought, he stopped asking questions and said, "Your pope is an emperor and an envoy of your God?"
” "Yes."
Tang Ruowang looked at Zhu Youzhen, his brown eyes were full of piety, and said: "The Pope inherits God's will, spreads God's brilliance, and saves the world." ” Zhu Youzhen was a person who had received a strict Confucian education, was quite rigid and self-denying, and John Tang's words disgusted him and made him more and more disliked.
"How long will it take?"
Zhu Youzhen fell and said lightly.
Tang Ruowang looked at Zhu Youzhen as in the past, tasted it lightly, sighed in his heart, smiled on his face, and said: "According to the distance, you should be able to reach Lisbon in ten days at most." ” Feng Zhu was expressionless, and glanced at Ao Bai beside him, Zheng Zhilong.
The two of them knocked their chins silently, and Zheng Zhilong left quietly.
The splints are all steel, Zheng Zhilong didn't say anything about Tang Ruowang, who was facing directly, and Zhu Youzhen, who was facing his back, also felt it, but he was expressionless and played chess by himself.
Although he was the envoy of this mission to Europe, it was only on the surface, and the real decision was still the admiral eunuch Feng Zhu.
Going to Europe is very risky, not only because of the unfamiliar sea routes, the unpredictable harsh maritime environment, but also because of the unpredictable European countries.
Obviously, Zheng Zhilong is preparing to prevent accidents.
John Tong is a European after all, and what he says is not to be believed.
Zhu Youzhen played chess and said casually: "Our first stop is Lisbon, isn't it your Papal State?"
” Tang Ruowang frowned, looked at Zhu Youzhen and said: "The situation in Europe is very complicated, the most powerful is the Habsburg family, they rule most of Europe, but there are many hostile kingdoms, even the Papal States need the protection of the Habsburg family." ” Zhu Youzhen's expression did not move, his eyes were staring at the chessboard, these were what he wanted to ask, and what Feng Zhu and the others wanted to know later.
He already knew that the Habsburgs were no longer a family, they were divided into many forces, and they were not united, the strongest of which was the Franco, that is, Spain.
He had many enemies, the Frankish kingdom, the Netherlands, the Kingdom of England, and the Ottoman Empire.
There is a more complicated factor here, and that is religion, which is a confrontation between two divided doctrines, and there are vaguely two forces that are constantly gathering.
The war in Europe has almost never stopped, and now John Tong cannot tell where the war is going, where the allies are and where the hostilities are.
John Tong hoped that these Ming people would know more about Europe, so that their mission would go smoothly, and that he would spread the glory of God to the hundreds of millions of people of the Ming Dynasty, and that he needed a perfect result for this mission.
"The king of the Kingdom of Spain was Philip IV, and he was a great monarch, and at the same time the monarch of many kingdoms, such as the little Franc machine, which we call the Portuguese ......," said John Tong.
Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen's eyes flashed with disgust, and even his expression showed a touch of disgust, which did not subside immediately.
Zhu Youzhen had already read these in the books written by Li Yizao and others before, and the reason why he was disgusting was that these Xiyi people had no etiquette at all and were shameless!
This king Philip IV, the queen he married was actually his own aunt, that is, his mother's own sister!
What a dirty thing this is, something that even a beast can't do in Daming!
Zhu Youzhen has always abided by the law, how can he tolerate this kind of thing!
Even if he knew that these Xiyi people were uneducated, he didn't expect it to be so barbaric!
And he further learned that Xiyi is accustomed to this kind of thing, and it is still a 'custom', saying that in order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, it is necessary to marry close relatives!
If it weren't for his sufficient concentration, Zhu Youzhen would even want to spit it out!
For him, it's disgusting!
