I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 10 Liu Jian: Your Majesty’s reason is not bad!

"It seems that the next time we chat, all the group members should tell us what they did."

Li Dongyang's reaction made Zhu Houliang clear about the direction of the next chat.

He realized that the first chat was still too wasteful and he got too little information.

"Your Majesty, I forgive my stupidity..."

"As far as I know, in all dynasties, except for Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty..."

"There are also the more famous former Qin Taizu Fu Hong and former Qin Shizu Fu Jian..."

"As well as Tuoba Gui, Taizu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Tao, the ancestor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, etc..."

"And Yang Guang, the founder of the Sui Dynasty..."

"I really have never heard of Mei Taizu, Mei Shizu... When will a Mei Dynasty appear?"

Li Dongyang was still very knowledgeable, and he immediately realized that not only the Han Dynasty had Taizu Shizu, but also other dynasties had many Taizu Shizu, but he searched his mind and still did not find that this American dynasty had appeared.

"Could it be the countries in the Western Region?"

Li Dongyang glanced at the eunuchs who were still reading various books, and he was confused and understood the reason for Zhu Houzhao's abnormality.

"Your Majesty, why are you suddenly interested in the United States and North Korea?"

He knew that Zhu Houzhao favored foreign cultures. This was a normal behavior for young people at this special age.

But he still wanted to know which song Zhu Houzhao sang again.

"This U.S. North Korea has a population of 30 million. Li Dongyang, what do you think will happen to our Ming Dynasty if he appears near our country?"

After being exposed a little, Zhu Houzhao didn't want to hide it from Li Dongyang. He immediately picked up a relatively important piece of news to threaten Li Dongyang and let Li Dongyang feel the crisis.

"what?"

"The United States and North Korea have a population of 30 million!?"

Li Dongyang was really shocked. There was no way he could allow others to snore on the side of the bed. He immediately felt great pressure.

An incomplete and remnant Yuan force has tormented them for nearly a hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. If the United States and North Korea with such a huge population come again, their good days will not be over.

"Your Majesty, where did you get the news? This...the United States and North Korea have a population of 30 million. How could we not know?"

Finding that Zhu Houzhao just looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, Li Dongyang also realized that he didn't understand this. Where did Zhu Houzhao learn about it? Besides, such a dynasty had no traces of records in its history.

"You don't need to know where I got the news from."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and looked directly at Li Dongyang: "Li Dongyang, you only need to know that this U.S. Korea has such a large population. It may be in the Western Regions, it may be in the West. But we knew nothing about it before, and even they were We don’t even know whether we are friends or foes.”

"A dynasty with a population of thirty million."

"It's impossible for him not to have any records in the history books."

"If they are hostile to our Ming Dynasty... even one Wala will make us so embarrassed, and now if we add this Great American Dynasty to ours."

Zhu Houzhao did not continue or reveal more. It was enough to let Li Dongyang and other civil servants have a little impression of this beautiful dynasty.

"That's why Your Majesty went to the Ministry of Rites..."

Li Dongyang suddenly understood the reason behind Zhu Houzhao's series of strange actions, which was actually to find this beautiful dynasty.

Those wealthy southern businessmen doing business in the West, how many things are they hiding from them?

"Yes, Li Dongyang, I will not go to court today, nor will I have classes. Please spread my instructions and search for people across the country who know the information about the Great America Dynasty. There is such a Great America Dynasty with unknown enemies and ourselves. I really want to sleep and eat. Uneasy, by the way, we must pay special attention to those French people, if possible, find them, I want to ask them personally."

Zhu Houzhao wiped his mouth and glanced at the eunuchs. Finding information in this way was too inefficient.

Professional matters are still left to these civil servants.

Of course, he didn't have much hope for this. The civil servants knew that he was looking for a beautiful dynasty without doing his job, so they must have given them some heartbreaking advice.

Talking so much to Li Dongyang can be regarded as explaining the reason why he mobilized so many troops and stopped the civil officials.

In a country with a population of 30 million people who don't know whether it is our enemy or our enemy, as the emperor, if he expresses concern about this and takes some actions, the civil servants can no longer force him to do so. After Zhu Houzhao made arrangements, he went directly to rest.

After Li Dongyang got the news, he naturally didn't care about giving lessons to Zhu Houzhao.

After bidding farewell to Zhu Houzhao, he hurried to Fengtian Hall.

At this time, Liu Jian was organizing cabinet officials to deal with political affairs. Yang Tinghe was not around. After asking, he found out that he had gone to see the Queen Mother.

"Master Chief Assistant, I know what your Majesty is doing."

After Liu Jian finished handling the matter at hand, Li Dongyang hurriedly stepped forward to talk about his conversation with Zhu Houzhao.

"what?"

"Is there such a beautiful dynasty with a population of 30 million around our Ming Dynasty?"

"impossible!?"

"What slander did your Majesty hear from Liu Jin again?"

"Your Majesty is not looking for an excuse to go to the West, is he?"

Liu Jian had informed the officials about Zhu Houzhao's possible plan to return to the West. After the ministers learned the news, they were ready to dissuade him.

Now, even if I listen to Li Dongyang.

At first they thought it was Liu Jin and others who were deceiving him, and Zhu Houzhao made excuses just for fun, and did not believe Zhu Houzhao's so-called lies.

This is stereotype.

"Be quiet."

Liu Jian didn't believe what Zhu Houzhao said, but he still raised his hand despite the messy situation. After everyone fell silent, Liu Jian looked at Li Dongyang again: "Binzhi, are you sure that His Majesty had someone read the book all night, and Did you get some information from the Ministry of Rites into the palace just to find this beautiful dynasty?"

"What kind of beauty is Taizu and Meishizu?"

To be honest, Liu Jian was a little convinced.

In order to go to the Western Ocean, Zhu Houzhao and the others seemed to be quite skillful in the reasons they found and made up.

The methods are quite mature.

But he is a mature politician and cannot believe in superficial things. He would rather believe what they want to believe.

"This is what Wang Gonggong told me. His Majesty suddenly became like this last night, no, probably after returning from the ancestral temple."

Li Dongyang said: "Eunuch Wang personally spent the night with your Majesty, so it shouldn't be wrong."

Liu Jian nodded, and then said: "His Majesty also wants us to find the French people together, right?"

"Yes."

Li Dongyang nodded, and then said: "Chief Assistant, I remember... It seems that a few years ago, when the late emperor was here, officials in Guangzhou and Fujian reported that some French people came to us without permission. Doing business in the Ming Dynasty? There are even people trying to rent our land in the Ming Dynasty? Could these French people be the people of the American Dynasty that His Majesty said? "

With the opening of the Age of Discovery in Europe and the spread of Marco Polo's theory of gold all over the East.

During this period, Western countries such as Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands had already spread across the world.

Visible historical records are that the Portuguese formed a small fleet in 1516, broke through the Ming Dynasty naval interception, and entered the Pearl River.

Later, in 1521, they launched a naval battle of Tuen Mun with the Ming Dynasty.

Today is the first year of Zhengde, 1506.

The Ming people who were doing business at sea had already seen the Portuguese.

Even some other private businessmen, under the cover of Ming smugglers, had already set foot on Ming territory in the early years.

Li Dongyang and others have seen this news and even dealt with these memorials.

Startled by Zhu Houzhao's talk about the Great American Dynasty with a population of 30 million, Li Dongyang had to think, what if these were the outposts of the Great American Dynasty?
The news Zhu Houzhao received may not be an excuse to go to the West.
