Mansion.

He Xianzu sat in the main seat, while Bai Chen was sitting in the second seat.

Bai Chen is a Tongyi doctor and a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy. Although his official position is not as good as He Xianzu, Bai Chen, who is a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy, was also a popular figure in the court.

You should know that in the Ming Dynasty, only officials who served as bachelor's attendant in the Hanlin Academy had the possibility of entering the cabinet. Although Zhu Yicheng has now abolished the cabinet and changed it to the Military Affairs Office, as an official at this level, he is still different from ordinary officials. His bachelor's appointment in the Hanlin Academy can destined to have a bright future. He has a great chance of joining military affairs in the future. Even if he is released from outside, he will be a vassal position.

What's more, Zhu Yicheng announced the decision of Bai Chen to Johor at the court meeting today, which means that Bai Chen will become the tutor of the King of Johor. What does this mean? The answer is quite obvious, so after the court meeting, many officials came to congratulate Bai Chen, and Bai Chen was also a little nervous while being happy.

He first entered the palace to meet Zhu Yicheng. After leaving the palace, Bai Chen did not return to his home immediately, but directly found He Xianzu's place and came to visit He Xianzu in the name of a student.

Bai Chen called himself a student, but this is actually true, because He Xianzu once served as the deputy chief examiner of the Ming Dynasty imperial examination. It was that time that Bai Chen was a Jinshi in high school and then entered the Hanlin Academy.

However, this kind of teacher-student friendship was only nominal. Later, He Xianzu went abroad and stayed for several years. It was not until He Xianzu completed the work of Ryukyu and returned to the Ming Dynasty that the two of them became ministers in the same palace and then they had some contact.

Logically speaking, officials may easily be attacked when meeting in private, especially officials like He Xianzu, who have just been appointed overseas. If the censor finds out, it is not impossible to directly write a letter to impeach the clique. However, Bai Chen came to visit He Xianzu today and got Zhu Yicheng's consent, which made the two of them sit in the front hall drinking tea.

He Xianzu naturally knew why Bai Chen came to find him. Zhu Yicheng wanted to imitate the story of Ryukyu to control Johor, and He Xianzu knew about this. So when Bai Chen came, he first made some polite mistakes and gradually introduced the main topic. He Xianzu did not hide it and directly talked about some of his things in Ryukyu. Bai Chen listened carefully and asked from time to time.

He Xianzu didn't care about Bai Chen's trip to Johor. After all, no matter who it was, the Ming Dynasty would eventually send someone to the place. Moreover, Bai Chen was still a student in name, and the relationship between teachers and students in this era was still very reliable. Although this student was not close to him before, this relationship could always be cultivated. Today, He Xianzu did not hide his own privately to teach Bai Chen about his experience in Ryukyu. This was not only what Zhu Yicheng was happy to see, but also a good thing for He Xianzu to see.

This lecture took a long time, and he was so dry that he spoke. He Xianzu finished speaking only a few times. Then he took out a piece of stuff from his arms and smiled and handed it over, saying, "This is my essay when I was in Ryukyu. Although I was just writing it casually when I was bored, I think it can inspire you. If you come today, this thing will be given to you."

Bai Chen took it with both hands and looked carefully. What He Xianzu said was recorded in some ordinary things about He Xianzu when he was in Ryukyu, but there was also a record of how He Xianzu got along with the royal family of Ryukyu and nobles and officials at that time, and even how he later launched and eliminated the great clans of Ryukyu... Although He Xianzu said this thing was ordinary, for Bai Chen, he undoubtedly pointed out a bright road for him. When Bai Chen saw this, he was grateful and quickly stood up and thanked the teacher solemnly.

"No need to say this between you and me. Besides, this Johor land is no less important than Ryukyu, and it is even more important to me in the Ming Dynasty. This time, the emperor asked you to go to Johor, and you only need to remember the four words of "working with your heart"! When you return successfully, the military aircraft will be a natural result."

He Xianzu looked at Bai Chen with a smile, and his predecessor guided him. Bai Chen was grateful in his heart and thanked him again.

"The students remember the kindness of the teacher and will definitely live up to the trust of His Majesty and the teacher." Bai Chen did not expect that things would go so smoothly, and his expression was filled with joy.

Nodded, He Xianzu said a few more words of encouragement, and then picked up the teacup next to him. Seeing this, Bai Chen got up and said goodbye. He Xianzu personally sent Bai Chen out of the mansion. After Bai Chen left, he looked at the sky. He Xianzu returned to the mansion to change his official uniform, and then went directly to the palace.

Not long after, He Xianzu came to the palace's Gongxin Hall. Zhu Yicheng, who was watching the memorial, seemed to have known that He Xianzu was coming for a long time. When he saw him, he asked him to sit first. After he finished the memorial in his hand, he raised his head.

He Xianzu talked about Bai Chen's visit in detail, and at the same time he also talked about what he had given to Bai Chen. Zhu Yicheng took a sip of tea and nodded and said, "This is a good thing. Bai Chen still has the ability. Let him go to Johor to practice for a few years, and it may be of great use after returning to the court."

"The Emperor's Holy Lord!" He Xianzu hurriedly said: "I also believe that as long as Bai Chen makes a difference in Johor and the Emperor's arrangements may take a few years, the naturalization of Johor Ming Dynasty is just around the corner. I am here to congratulate the Emperor in advance, that my Ming Dynasty controls the South China Sea, spreads the world, and creates a prosperous era that has never been seen in the ages."

"Hahaha, it's too early to say this. Let's say it again after a day." Zhu Yicheng said with a smile. Although he did not admit it, the pride in his heart was still revealed.

He Xianzu smiled and said that he could say goodbye after entering the palace to see Zhu Yicheng report the matter. However, He Xianzu clearly had other things today. He hesitated for a moment and said, "The emperor's ambition is known to everyone in the world. The territory of our Ming Dynasty has never existed forever, especially overseas places, which dominate the world. Its foundation has been completed for thousands of years, but I have a little concern but I don't know..."

Zhu Yicheng glanced at He Xianzu and signaled him to continue talking.

He Xianzu said: "A few days ago, the incidents of the Qing Dynasty caused some trouble to the Ming Dynasty, but there was no possibility of turning around. My Ming Dynasty needed to steadily and slowly advance, and it was expected that the Qing Dynasty would only have one day of destruction. As for overseas, we now have Ryukyu, Beihai (Hokkaido), Xinming, Luzon and Johor. Next, according to the previous plan of the Military Affairs Office, the navy will continue to go south from the South China Sea to find the overseas giant island (Australia) to capture its land. In this way, within ten years, our Ming power will spread all over the world, which is a blessing."

Speaking of this, He Xianzu paused and showed a look of worry: "The emperor, now the overseas land is becoming more and more vast, which is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, but we must not be careful. The emperor needs to know that except for Ryukyu and other places, the Ming Dynasty may be directly controlled, but Xinming is thousands of miles away and it is extremely inconvenient to travel. Now there are many immigrants in Xinming, and there have been nearly one million people in a few years. In addition, the Yin people of Xinming have been naturalized, and more than tens of millions of people have been ruled. I think decades later, the military and civilians in the area may be no less than the local area, but the Xinming government has not changed. I think the emperor needs to make arrangements as soon as possible to prevent future troubles!"
