Empress Xia, who was standing aside, couldn't help but look slightly changed when she heard the conversation between Chu Yi and the little prince, and showed a little worried look. She subconsciously opened her mouth, but when she spoke, she said nothing.

Obviously, Empress Xia thought of the agreement between herself and the emperor.

Zhu Zaiji nodded excitedly at Chu Yi and said, "Tao Fu, don't lie to Ji'er!"

Zhu Zaiji is still very curious and yearning for the outside world, especially not long ago, Chu Yi took Zhu Zaiji to play on the bustling streets of the capital. It is precisely because he has seen the bustling world outside that Zhu Zaiji is still very looking forward to shopping.

After all, Zhu Zaiji was born in the palace since she was a child. It seems that there is everything in the palace, but it has no popularity and no prosperity in the outside world.

Especially for a child like Zhu Zaiji, it would be fine if he had not seen the prosperity and excitement of the outside world, but there was no comparison after all.

But Zhu Zaijina has left the palace and seen the prosperity of the outside world. Although he only went out once, he left an extremely deep impression in Zhu Zaiji's heart.

At that time, Zhu Zaiji begged Empress Xia and the Emperor to allow him to go out to play, but unfortunately, the Emperor and Empress Xia could not agree to let Zhu Zaiji go out to play.

Seeing Zhu Zaiji sitting there and reciting the Thousand-word text honestly, Chu Yi couldn't help but smile.

But at this moment, in the palace, Yue Buqun, as the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, was one of the few senior officials among the Jinyiwei, especially Yue Buqun used the Jinyiwei's channels to send the news into the palace. Not long after, the memorial arrived in front of the emperor's case.

Although Zhu Houzhao was not diligent in his administration, he could not be said to be lazy. In the imperial study, Zhu Houzhao submitted the cabinet and submitted the memorials that he needed to make decisions one by one, and then made instructions, he stretched out his body and his eyes fell on the memorial.

Zhu Houzhao naturally attaches great importance to Jinyiwei, East Factory, West Factory. After all, Jinyiwei, East Factory, West Factory are the eyes and minions of the emperor. If there is no such thing, the emperor will know nothing about the general trend of the world. At that time, even if he is united by his ministers, he may not know what is going on.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao attaches great importance to the East Factory and the Jinyiwei. Zhu Houzhao will check the memorials presented by the East Factory and the Jinyiwei as soon as possible.

Zhu Houzhao still has a lot of impression on Yue Buqun. Some of them are because of Yue Buqun's identity, and the other part is because Chu Yi is quite interested in Yue Buqun.

Just like Yang Yiqing, Wang Shouren, Han Kun and others, it seems that Chu Yi has a pair of eyes that can discover talents. Anyone who is valued by Chu Yi is a person with great ability. At least, no mistake has occurred so far.

Looking through the news sent by Yue Buqun, Zhu Houzhao's expression changed. In the memorial, he talked about the situation in Southeast Asia in detail, and also mentioned what kind of power the maritime powers such as Portugal and the Netherlands have overseas and how vast land they ruled.

Although I have learned a lot from Chu Yi about the world outside the Ming Dynasty, even through those merchants, in recent years, the people from the Jinyiwei, the East Factory and the West Factory have taken advantage of the maritime businessmen to step out of the Ming Dynasty and have collected a lot of information.

However, these news are obviously different from the news revealed by Governor George and Earl Harry about the Western world.

The Ming Dynasty caravans rarely crossed the South Ocean to reach the Western world, so there was not much news about the Western world in the Ming Dynasty, and it can be said that they did not even know much.

According to Chu Yi, the Ming Dynasty in the future will inevitably have contact with Western countries. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy will never be lazy in a hundred battles.

At some point, Zhu Houzhao was influenced by Chu Yi and would subconsciously knock on the table when thinking about problems. Then he saw Zhu Houzhao sitting there in a daze, but one hand gently knocked on the table.

"It is said that the cabinet chief Yang Yiqing, Wang Hua, Chen Ding and others came to the palace to meet!"

When one of the emperors came to the cabinet, several cabinet masters were also talking about the news about the South China Sea and Western countries.

After receiving the emperor's will, several cabinet masters entered the palace as soon as possible.

In the imperial study room, Zhu Houzhao looked at the cabinet masters and signaled everyone to sit down. Then he said with a righteous expression: "Your families, I have summoned you to come today because of the news presented by the Jinyiwei."

Yang Yiqing and others had a slightly moving expression. When Zhu Houzhao said that, Yang Yiqing and others thought of the information from the Jinyiwei that they were still arguing about not long ago.

Needless to say, apart from this piece of information, what the emperor said is unlikely to be the second piece of information.

Zhu Houzhao noticed the change in expressions of the people and said with great clarity: "I think that information is what kind of information you have read."

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and an eunuch next to him took the information and walked towards several cabinet masters. He heard Zhu Houzhao say, "If any cabinet master hasn't seen it, you might as well take a look."

Yang Yiqing took the information, looked through it, nodded slightly to the cabinet masters, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, not long ago, I am discussing this information."

As his eyes lit up, Zhu Houzhao smiled and looked at several cabinet masters and said, "Oh, I wonder what the cabinet masters have to say about this information, let's listen to me."

After looking at each other, Yang Yiqing said first: "Your Majesty, the first thing we need to do is to determine whether this piece of information is true and whether the information is true is directly related to the court's response strategy!"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned at first, nodded slowly and said, "Your family's words are the words of a long-time country. Indeed, this information is of great importance, and you must be sure of the authenticity of it."

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao said, "This news was submitted by Yue Buqun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and he thought that the Jinyiwei would not do anything to do in this information, and they did not dare to do anything. The only thing that cannot be sure is how credible the information in this information is."

Needless to say, these news were learned by the Jinyiwei from the mouths of those prisoners. Not to mention that the words were blocked and communication was difficult. Even if there was a translation, sometimes it was very likely that the words were not fulfilled due to translation.

In this way, some differences are most likely to occur in the information.

Everyone knows the truth about spreading rumors, so it is particularly important to the accuracy and authenticity of this information.

Chen Ding stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, since those alien races have been captured alive, you might as well take them to the capital, and then send out powerful men to pry open their mouths and dig out the information and information we need from these people."

Wang Hua nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that there are thousands of prisoners. Then, these prisoners will be interrogated separately. In this way, there is no need to worry that these people will use fake news to fool people."

Chen Ding, who was standing beside him, kept nodding and said, "Mr. Wang is right. I have observed the information before. According to the instructions of Governor George and Count Harry, the navies of the two countries are extremely powerful and have thousands of ships. If this is true, we must deal with them carefully."

A cabinet master said with disdain, "It's just a few thousand ships. I won't mention anything else in the Ming Dynasty. I have tens of thousands of ships in the canal transport alone. In addition, there are new warships that His Highness Wu had already started to build the year before yesterday. If it's combined, there will be no less than a thousand warships alone."

With a light cough, Wang Hua said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is of great importance. You might as well send someone to invite His Highness King Wu. Everyone should also listen to what King Wu means."

In the impression of many people, Chu Yi can be said to be completely decided, and he has never missed anything. No one would doubt what Chu Yi said on weekdays.

Now, I naturally thought of Chu Yi, and several cabinet masters couldn't help but look at Zhu Hou's care.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Transfer my will and quickly ask King Wu to enter the palace."

King Wu's Mansion

Zhu Zaiji, who looked happy, stood in front of Chu Yi, holding his head up, and his little face was full of expectations.

Just looking at Zhu Zaiji's appearance, Chu Yi couldn't help but pat Zhu Zaiji's head and chuckled: "Ki'er is so good, the tutor will take you to the street to play!"

While speaking, Chu Yi pulled Zhu Zaiji and walked out of Prince Wu's Mansion.

The queen and several palace maids in the distance watched Chu Yi bring Zhu Zaiji to the palace, and they couldn't help but look shocked. Obviously, they didn't expect that Chu Yi would really take Zhu Zaiji to the street like this.

"Empress, the little prince..."

Queen Xia took a deep breath and shook her head slowly and said, "We don't have to worry about having the Grand Tutor with Kier. Besides, being stuck in the palace for a long time is not a good thing for Kier. The Grand Tutor is willing to take Kier out to see the life in the city and the world outside the palace. For Kier, there is no harm in all things."

Not to mention the queen's opinion on Chu Yi taking Zhu Zaiji to the streets, Chu Yi took Zhu Zaiji to walk on the endless streets.

The capital has been prosperous since ancient times. It can be said that whether a country is prosperous and its national strength can be seen from the prosperity of the capital.

With the influence of Chu Yi's strategy of opening the sea, the originally abandoned shipping once again became prosperous. Commodities from all over the world appeared in the capital as soon as possible with the help of these merchants.

There were people coming and going on the long street, and there were endless streams of hawking, shouting, and bargaining sounds. Although it was quite noisy, it was extremely pleasant to Chu Yi.

Zhu Zaiji, a little baby, was not afraid in the crowd. Instead, he opened his eyes wide and looked at everything curiously. When his eyes stopped, Zhu Zaiji couldn't help but purr, swallowed his saliva, and then said to Chu Yi: "Taifu, Taifu, Jier wants..."
