Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 479 Familiar Taste

"Can you tell me...why?"

For these two imperial decrees, Zhang knew that she had no possibility of refusing them.

At the beginning, the emperor's line and Wu Wang's line were exchanged in equal value, and the life of Emperor Xuande was exchanged for the time for the orthodox emperor to grow up safely, and power was redistributed at the same time.

On the bright side, King Wu's lineage controls the government with the cabinet and six ministries. Except for some matters of the clan, almost all the affairs of the ruling and opposition parties, large and small, are controlled by the King Wu's lineage.

Of course, King Wu's lineage didn't do too badly, and left the emperor's lineage with the last bit of respectability.

That is to hand over the emperor's seal to the Empress Dowager Zhang, and all memorials, official documents and imperial edicts must be sealed by Zhang before they can be sent out smoothly.

But in fact, everyone knows that this is, and only the last decency left by the King of Wu's lineage to the Emperor's lineage.

Just like it is now, if Zhu Zhanhe or Zhu Gaoxu came here personally with the imperial decree, it would show the attitude of King Wu's lineage. This chapter will be different from usual. It can be left uncovered.

To put it bluntly, the so-called right to choose still only exists in the hands of the strong. As a weak person, your so-called right to choose is actually left to you by the strong. If you want to, you will actually have nothing.

"Trust issue."

Although there was no need to answer this question, out of respect for the "Empress Wuquan", Zhu Zhanhe still opened his mouth to answer.

"Zhang Fu is old, and the most suitable thing for him is to be a sea-fixing needle in the court, but as the so-called replacement of old and new, the post of Zuo Dudu in the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion still needs to be handed over to a capable new generation."

"and……"

Having said that, Zhu Zhanhe raised his head and looked behind Mrs. Zhang.

There is a screen, but Zhu Zhanhe is not looking at that screen, but at the person behind the screen.

Because of the sunlight, there was a figure faintly printed on the screen, but it looked like one person, but in fact it was two people.

The current empress dowager Sun and the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen.

"You, I trust you." Looking away, Zhu Zhanhe's tone revealed a little sarcasm inadvertently.

"You educated your cousin very well, and so did King Xiang. The reason why your cousin failed and did things that the descendants of the Zhu family despise actually has nothing to do with you. The main reason is me."

"It was me who made my cousin anxious. He was forced by his own urgency to take risks and seek skins from tigers."

"So, overall, you're still an excellent mother, but some people aren't."

Speaking of this, the sarcasm in Zhu Zhanhe's tone has been completely undisguised.

"I still say that, there are no pillars growing in the courtyard, and the Taiping Emperor can't follow the law."

"Even if it has the blood of an eagle, if it is kept in a cage, it can only grow into a wild chicken, and it is impossible to soar in the sky."

Having said that, Zhu Zhanhe stopped, and his eyes turned to the direction of the screen again.

Visible to the naked eye, the figure reflected on the screen trembled a little, as if very angry, but had to be suppressed forcibly.

"Alas..." Mrs. Zhang sighed and waved her hand.

Soon, a servant came over with a wooden box, and opened it after walking up to Mrs. Zhang.

Inside is the jade seal representing the emperor.

It seemed to be a struggle, but in the end, Mrs. Zhang picked up the jade seal and stamped the two imperial edicts one by one.

In fact, why doesn't Mrs. Zhang know what kind of personality her daughter-in-law has?

A person whose emotions are influenced by jealousy cannot become a qualified mother after all, and the children he teaches will not be outstanding.

Moreover, regarding the two imperial decrees that Zhu Zhanhe brought over, strictly speaking, they still saved face for the emperor's lineage.

He was dismissed from his original post and granted the title of Grand Master.

This actually pushed Zhang Fu to the side of the emperor. Although Zhang Fu followed the crowd and acted according to the arrangement of the court, in fact what Zhang Fu wanted was stability.

In this treacherous situation, the only way to protect himself is to follow the trend, but if the Wu Wang lineage forces Zhang Fu to make a choice, he will still stand in line with the Wu Wang lineage's ideas.

After all, anyone can tell which side the situation is leaning towards now.

That's not right... some people just can't see it...

After achieving his goal, Zhu Zhanhe put away the two volumes of imperial edict with satisfaction, bowed to Mrs. Zhang, and left.

After Zhu Zhanhe left, Sun Ruowei hugged Zhu Qizhen and walked in front of Zhang with her head down.

She seemed to be respectful, but because she lowered her head, the dissatisfaction and gloom in her eyes were well hidden.

……

Renshou Palace.

"came back?"

In the greenhouse in the yard, Concubine Wu was teasing the little Zhu Qiming, while Zhu Gaoxu saw his son who had returned.

This morning, he watched his son leave with two imperial edicts.

"En." Zhu Zhanhe handed the two volumes of imperial decree to Zhu Ling, and then opened the greenhouse and walked in.

"How is today? Are you making a fuss?"

While talking, Zhu Zhanhe made a face at his son.

Without betraying his father's face at all, Zhu Qiming shrugged his mouth and immediately howled at the top of his throat.

"Go, go! Go away!"

Princess Wu angrily pushed her son aside, and began to coax the new ancestor in the family.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't care, children, if they weren't born to play, it would be meaningless.

"Successful?" Seeing his son sit down, Zhu Gaoxu reached out and poured a cup of tea.

"Well, what could be wrong?" Zhu Zhanhe took the tea handed over by his father, and leaned back on the chair very comfortably.

"Eldest aunt is a sensible person, as for Empress Sun..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanhe slightly shook his head: "Compared to my eldest aunt, she is not a little bit worse."

"Your eldest aunt can't help it either." Zhu Gaoxu sighed softly when he heard the words.

"It can be regarded as a trick of good fortune. If the previous Empress Hu gave birth to a prince instead of a princess, this Ming Dynasty would have a different scene."

"In the end, it happened to be Empress Sun, and we are the first to be abolished by the Ming dynasty."

"Okay..."

Zhu Zhanhe didn't care, and on the contrary, he felt that it was a good thing for Sun Ruowei to take the position. After all, if it was Hu Shanxiang, the excuse of King Wu's lineage might not be easy to find.

"It's fine for us to talk about it at home. If it gets out, someone will say that our family is a bitch and set up a chastity memorial archway."

"That's fine, let's not talk about it." Zhu Gaoxu also shook his head with a smile.

"What about Europe? How's it going?"

"Everything is under control." Zhu Zhanhe took a sip of the tea in his cup, looking very contented.

"If there are no accidents, before this winter, the hardest part will be gnawed off, and the rest will not be a big problem. It just needs to be fenced. It won't take long for them to succumb."

"What do you think?" Speaking of this, even Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help being a little curious.

"From the Timurid Empire to Europe, it seems to outsiders that you have always been the same as before, but you didn't seem to have made such a big move before, did you?"

"That is to say, when you were in Japan and Dayue, you killed more people. Later, in Siam and Nanzhang and other countries, you really didn't do many murders. You killed them later, and the feeling is completely different. of."

"How did you become more radical when you came to the Timurid Empire and Europe?"

"The reason is very simple." Zhu Zhanhe was surprised that his father could ask such a question.

"For those who are not of my race, their hearts must be different."

"In Siam and Nanzhang, I didn't encounter much resistance, and because of the poison of Shu, there are still many people from the Central Plains in Nanzhang Siam, which was long ago by our Central Plains culture. impact, so I wasn't in a hurry."

"The Timurid Empire and the grassland are actually similar. The conflict between the Central Plains and the grassland has not been resolved after thousands of years. I don't want to waste that effort. It's better to just kill it."

"It's even more so in Europe. They are all religious believers, and the power of the pope even surpassed the power of the king at one point. Would you accept this if it were placed on you?"

Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback when he heard the words, as if he had already imagined the scene where the power of the gods was greater than the power of the king, so he shook his head.

"Oh, that's right." Zhu Zhanhe looked at his father shaking his head, and suddenly thought of something.

"Zhu Ping, go to my study and bring over the secret letter I received in Xiangzhou Mansion."

"Yes!"

……

"What letter? Just say no? You still have to show it to me?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at his son helplessly.

"You'd better take a look." Zhu Zhanhe shook his head with a smile, and then shook his head, looking very unworthy of beating.

"Sometimes, black and white words can have a much greater impact on people than what is heard and dictated."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything when he heard the words, he just raised his eyebrows.

Soon, Zhu Ping took the secret letter and handed it to Zhu Gaoxu under Zhu Zhanhe's gesture.

Zhu Gaoxu's initial expression was curious, but after a while his brows frowned, and it became tighter and tighter.

Finally, he gasped.

"Hiss... when did you do it? Why don't I know?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at his son, as if he had just met his son who had been raised for more than 20 years.

"Back when we were dealing with the Timur Empire." Zhu Zhanhe explained very easily.

In fact, the contents of the secret letter are relatively simple. The reason why Zhu Gaoxu took so long is because he had to digest them.

The secret letter was sent by Xing Kun, because in autumn, Zhu Zhanhe specially sent people to count the grain harvest situation in various parts of Europe.

Of course, it was impossible for the Ming army to travel all over Europe to collect these. They just selectively selected three to five locations in a region to collect data.

So this data may not be completely accurate, but it is relatively accurate.

According to Xing Kun's statistics, the grain output in Europe this year may be about [-]% lower than in previous years.

Note that it is not compared with when there were potatoes, but compared with before potatoes appeared.

In other words, in Europe with potatoes, this year's harvest is [-]% lower than when there were no potatoes.

Potatoes, originally introduced to increase food production, turned out to be the culprit in reducing food production.
