Chapter 1192 Zhu Youjian's Disgusting

An emperor who is not subject to any restrictions is too terrible. You should know that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty all had quite distinct personalities. If they were not subject to any restrictions, it would be only a matter of time before the world was in chaos.

Sun Chuanting understood Bi Ziyan's concerns, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Sir, you are still anxious."

Bi Ziyan was stunned and then smiled and said, "Yes, I'm anxious."

Although he smiled, he felt very moved. No wonder he was anxious. He was over 60 years old and Sun Chengzong was over 70 years old. How many years could they last? Sun Chuanting lacked prestige, and the emperor was trained by the emperor. If he and Sun Chengzong retired, all the rights of the Ming Dynasty would be in the hands of the Ganqing Palace.

This matter is quite sensitive, and Sun Chuanting didn't say anything more. They have worked together for many years and faced many problems, and they have tacit understanding.

After a few simple conversations, the two turned back to the cabinet.

At the same time, Fu Changzong and Zhang Bingwen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, left the Ministry of Revenue and were on the way to the palace cabinet.

Zhang Bingwen vaguely saw the white hair on Fu Changzong's temples and sighed, "Sir, the public grievances caused by 'Tian Mu Ce' are increasing now. The officials are worried that if they force them, they may lead to chaos in the people."

The chronic diseases of the Ming Dynasty involved all aspects. In the fields, there were quite a few "beneficiaries" and the victims could not speak out. If they were guided a little, there might be a big mess, especially in Nanzhili!

Fu Changzong was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue for many years and has also experienced it in Shaanxi. He knew the benefits and interests of it. He said firmly: "These problems are exactly what we face and must be changed. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you must show enough determination. Don't be afraid of difficulties or difficulties or sway..."

"The officials understand." Zhang Bingwen was an old subordinate of Fu Changzong. He knew that the old boss had always been in agreement with the attitude of the Ganqing Palace. He said for a moment: "Sir, the tax paid to the court by the Shenlong Mansion this year is 4 million taels. In addition, there are 10 million taels to be invested in the treasury, and there are also 10 million taels to buy food from overseas. The ones who have arrived ashore this year have reached 6 million stones..."

Fu Changzong understood his meaning and said, "The Emperor's rule is always directly under the jurisdiction of the Emperor. Its affairs are decided by the Sili Supervisor. The Ministry of Revenue should not make any decisions. The treasury will last for a long time this year, and the Ministry of Works and the army can save a lot of money..."

Before Fu Changzong finished speaking, Zhang Bingwen interrupted, "What the officials want to say is, 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 since then. He should have arrived at the Western Europe marked on the map.

At the same time, he also understood what Zhang Bingwen meant.

The sea trade in Shenlong Mansion has not been fully opened, and it has already earned tens of millions of taels of silver a year. If King Xin reaches a sea trade agreement with other countries in Western Europe, the size of Shenlong Mansion will expand rapidly, and it is not a joke that wealth can rival a country!

Fu Changzong's heart was moved and knew Zhang Bingwen's concerns. The Ming Dynasty has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce. If the Shenlong Mansion was rich enough to rival a country, it would probably cause changes in all aspects, especially the shock of the court, which is quite a bit!

Fu Changzong knew more about it than Zhang Bingwen. He pondered for a while and said, "I know this matter in my mind. The cabinet is naturally aware of it. It is about the emperor. You and I need to be careful... After a while, I will go to the palace to have a meal with the emperor, and ask again."

The last sentence is obviously to appease Zhang Bingwen and the people who have the same concerns as him.

Zhang Bingwen's expression did not change much, and he raised his hand and said, "Yes, the official understands."

Fu Changzong didn't say much and sighed in his heart. The Ming Dynasty has reached a change that has not been seen in a thousand years, and it can no longer be described in complex ways. Everyone has no relaxation on their shoulders and hearts.

No matter how turbulent the outside world is, the government affairs of the cabinet are still proceeding in an orderly manner.

The fifty issues formulated by the parliament have been sent to the cabinet, and they are also sent to the Sili Supervisor, and they are also on Zhu Xu's desk.

Looking at these fifty questions, Zhu Xu pinched his chin with a strange expression.

Article 1: ‘Ask Mr. Bi Ge to explain why there are 150 acres of land and three courtyards at home?’

Article 2: ‘Why is the grandson of Bige Lao who can enter the official position in less than 20 years? Is there any suspicion of being favored?’

Article 3: ‘The ancestral tomb of Bige Lao was renovated again and again, covering an area of ​​60 acres, and it was as rich as an imperial tomb. Why is it so ridiculous?’

...

There are fifty articles in total, but only one is a case involving Yangzhou Prefecture, and the others are basically aimed at Bi Ziyan. Obviously, the parliament intends to take this opportunity to use the "moral" issue to overthrow Bi Ziyan.

Zhu Xu pinched her chin and thought quietly.

The people of the parliament have obviously not yet escaped the ruling of the party's common ground and have not reflected the function of picking up the cabinet's leftovers and supporting gains and losses as he had expected.

"There is a long way to go..." Zhu Xu said to himself.

Zhu Xu closed the memorial, looked up at Cao Huachun opposite, and said, "What do you say from the cabinet?"

Cao Huachun said: "The cabinet is calm, I believe that Master Bi Ge has a way to deal with it."

Zhu Xu nodded and shook his head, saying, "That must be boring. Forget it, I won't go and see it. Is there any reward for the Jinyiwei?"

Cao Huachun frowned slightly, stepped forward, and said, "Your Majesty, Jiang Feijun's secret report may not be one or two people. The Eight Ambassadors of the Jinyiwei may have three, four, or even five involved in the case. Even if they are not direct, they may have indirect or turned a blind eye. As for Luo Yangxing and Zhu Zonghan, it is still difficult to say, and there is no evidence."

The Jinyiwei is a special institution. The eight ambassadors have been in the short four or five years, and the long seven or eight years. Luo Yangxing is even more of the Jinyiwei family. Zhu Zonghan is also deeply rooted in the deep-rooted and lush leaves. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to investigate them secretly.

"Tell Jiang Feijun not to alert the snake." Zhu Xu looked cold and said, "Tell the Military Information Department again and let them stare. The palace...clean up again."

Cao Huachun looked motionless and bowed and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and looked out the window with his eyes slowly. Zhu Youjian had been walking for a long time. It was time to go to Europe as he calculated the time.

Just as Zhu Xu was counting the time, the fleet led by Zhu Youjian was not far from Europe.

On the deck of the Hongwu quotation, there was a round table, where Zhu Youjian and Jokovic sat opposite each other, and the two were playing chess and chatting at the same time.

Behind Zhu Youjian were the inner supervisor Feng Zhu, the navy generals Obai, Zheng Zhilong, etc., as well as some professors and doctors from the Political Court, such as Li Yizao and others.

Everyone was used to it and watched the two play chess in peace.

After the move, Johnson Chan smiled and said, "Prince, although he lost more than thirty ships, it is a miracle that such a huge fleet can reach Europe safely."

Zhu Youjian was half-willed to visit this time. He listened to Joshua Tsang and others along the way, as well as the books he read, and was full of disgust towards Europe. He listened to Joshua Tsang's words, his face was cold and he didn't say anything.

After spending a year and a half, Johnson Chan already knew the cold-faced prince in front of him very well and said, "Prince, the Hongwu is a giant even in Europe, and there are more than 100 large and small warships. Unless Europe is crazy, it will not attack you, please rest assured."

Zhu Youjian took the white chess piece and fell calmly, saying lightly: "Sir, does your God really have a kind heart?"

Joshua Chan was very eager to win over the prince of the Ming Dynasty into the church. You should know that this man not only once held a high position, but had an incomparable influence in the Ming Dynasty, but also the elder brother of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If he believed in religion, would the entire Ming Dynasty be far away to become the people of God?

Joshua Chan was eager in his heart, but his face was quite calm, with a charitable look on his face and said with a smile: "The prince is talking about benevolence, and I am talking about mercy, but the meaning is actually the same. God loves the world and wants to treat people suffering and make the world a world of love."

Johnson Chan did not say those dogmas, they were all close to the Ming culture, which was so easy to accept.

Zhu Youjian roughly understood in his heart that it was a copy of Buddhism. With this idea, he stopped asking and said, "Your Pope is an emperor and an envoy to your God?"

"Yes." Joshua Chan looked at Zhu Youjian, his brown eyes were full of piety, and said, "The Pope took on God's will, spread God's glory, and saved the world."

Zhu Youjian was a person who received strict Confucian education and was quite rigid and self-restrained. He was disgusted by the words of Johnson Chan and became even more disliked.

"How long will it take to arrive?" Zhu Youjian said lightly.

Tang Ruowang looked at Zhu Youjian as he had done, and stopped trying it casually. He sighed in his heart, smiled and said, "Based on the distance, you should be able to reach Lisbon in a maximum of ten days."

Feng Zhu looked at Oboi and Zheng Zhilong beside him with expressionless expression.

The two of them slammed their chins without any hesitation, and Zheng Zhilong left quietly.

The plywood was all steel. When Zheng Zhilong moved, he didn't say that the straight-forward Zhu Youjian was also able to feel it, but he had no expression on his face and played chess on his own.

Although he was the official envoy to Europe this time, he was just superficially, and the one who actually made the decision was Feng Zhu, the admiral of the Sili Superintendent.

The risk of traveling to Europe is very high, not only the unfamiliar sea routes, the unpredictable harsh maritime environment, but also the European countries with unpredictable minds.

Obviously, Zheng Zhilong had to prepare for an accident in case of an accident. After all, Johnson Chan was a European, and what he said was not worthy of trust.

Zhu Youjian played chess and said casually: "Our first stop is Lisbon, isn't it your Pope?"

Joshua Chau frowned and looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "The situation in Europe is very complicated. The most powerful one is the Habsburg family. They rule most of Europe. However, there are many hostile kingdoms in various ways. Even the Pope states need the protection of the Habsburg family."

Zhu Youjian looked motionless and stared at the chessboard. These were what he wanted to ask, and what Feng Zhu and others wanted to know later.

He had known before that the Habsburg family was no longer a family. They were divided into many forces and were not united. The strongest of them was Folangji, that is, Spain.

He has many enemies, including the Frank Kingdom, the Netherlands, the Kingdom of England, the Ottoman Empire, etc.

There is a more complex factor here, that is, religion, two divisional doctrines are confronting each other, and two forces are vaguely gathering.

The war in Europe has almost never stopped, and now Joshua Chan can't tell where the war goes, where it is an ally, and where it is an hostile.

Johnson Chan hopes that these Ming people will understand Europe more so that their mission will be smooth. He wants to spread the glory of God across the billions of people in the Ming Dynasty, and this mission will have a perfect result.

"The king of the Kingdom of Spain was Philip IV. He was a great monarch, and he was also the monarch of many kingdoms, such as the Little Ferangji you mentioned, which we call Portugal..." said John Cho.

Speaking of this, Zhu Youjian's eyes flashed with disgust, and even his expression showed a hint of disgust, which did not fade immediately.

Zhu Youjian had read these before in books written by Li Yizao and others. The reason why he was disgusted was that these Westerners had no etiquette and were ashamed of being!

The queen he married was actually his concubine, his mother's sister!

What a dirty thing this is, something that even beasts cannot do in the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Youjian has always abide by the law, how could he tolerate such things? Even though he knew that these Western barbarians had no education, he did not expect that they were so wild!

He further learned that it was a common practice for Westerners to be aware of this kind of thing, and it was said that in order to maintain the purity of bloodline, close relatives must be married!

If it weren't for the fact that he had enough concentration, Zhu Youjian even wanted to spit it out!

To him, it was so disgusting!
