Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 1002 A Different Mind

Zhu Di said slowly: "The way of an emperor lies in Heng. txt e-book download** I am the Son of Heaven, and I am the person in charge of this Heng. If you can't maintain the balance, disaster will come from itself. In the past, I didn't teach you to go to the West. Well, the so-called tribute trade is nothing more than some bragging and singing in the temple, and the people of the world will naturally ignore it. It is not the case now, alas! It is rare that he is willing to confess to me the filth hidden under the table!"

Zheng He smiled and said: "The Duke Fu is loyal, and he knows everything about His Majesty!"

Zhu Di hummed, and said: "However, if I follow his request, Wenxuan will win the hearts of the rich men, landlords, rich merchants, and scholars in the world. I am the Son of Heaven, and I can't go against the trend, let alone him. Once the current situation is formed, although Wenxuan is loyal, he can't go against the trend. In the past, the Chen Qiao mutiny and the addition of the yellow robe must have been Zhao Kuangyin's original intention?"

Zheng He's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to say more.

Zhu Di was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed again, and said, "Guan Zhong, Huan Gong's thief, Han Xin, was humiliated by his crotch; Chen Ping, stealing his wife and accepting bribes, all of them are used for prosperity. Wu Qi is a corrupt general, kills his wife for self-confidence, and distributes money for begging Official, the mother died and did not return, but in Wei, the people of Qin dared not go east, and in Chu, the people of the Three Jins dared not seek south. Only talents are promoted, only talents are promoted!

The emperors in ancient times had a lot of jealousy. As a result, those who had no malicious intentions would have evil thoughts, and those who had no rebellious intentions would be rebellious. Isn't Jianwen a living example?I rule the world only by talents, and use the way to control them, why not?Believe it, no doubt! "

He stood up slowly, and said solemnly to Zheng He: "According to Wenxuan's words! Abandon the tribute and change the city ship. You have presided over the trip to the West and are familiar with the ocean and Western countries. This time, you are still the first to go to the West." Commander, I will choose another minister as an assistant. The accompanying caravan attracts business from the people, and you are only responsible for the publicity! Go tell Wenxuan and ask him to prepare to go with you. No matter what, the whereabouts of that person must be found. come out!"

Zheng He hurriedly bowed and said, "Your maid obeys the order!"

In the palace of the emperor's grandson, Zhu Zhanji frowned slightly after hearing the news Chen Wu had inquired about, and said in displeasure, "The emperor's grandfather is too fond of Yang Xu? This time, Yang Xu has done so many things in Jiangnan again, first confronting Jiangnan with Liaodong Shilin, and then bewitching people's hearts with ordinary people in the market. Now, he is using this matter to invite people's hearts again... "

Chen Wu said: "What Your Highness said is true. If you talk about paying tribute and promoting the market, although it is possible, it should not be mentioned by him. Even if it is an admonition, can't you speak to the emperor privately? Now in front of the Manchuria Chao Wenwu said that since the emperor obeyed, what the court and the public think of is not your majesty's virtue, but his Yang Xu's kindness. He Yang Xu has been an official for a long time, doesn't he understand the way of being a minister?"

Zhu Zhan is basically a character who is lenient on the outside and jealous on the inside. Hearing what he said, he took it for granted. He nodded, and there was a chill in his immature voice: "For the ruler to govern the world, the first thing is virtue. The way to govern the country is to select talents! Yang Xu’s actions are called righteousness, but they are actually inviting people to buy people’s hearts, and their hearts can be punished. Such people should immediately let them go home. Hmph! If you are alone, you will Such people are absolutely useless!"

"Really? The emperor agrees?"

Xia Xun was scolded and returned to the post house, and he didn't take it seriously at all. Now Xia Xun is very free and easy, and he has long been calm about honor and disgrace, and sees the officialdom and future as calm.

I don't want to, just as he went back on his front foot, Zheng He chased him on his back foot.Xia Xun couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard that Zhu Di really agreed to give up the tribute trade and change it to a city boat.

The development of history is formed by the joint action of many factors, and by no means any one factor can determine the overall situation. Although it is said that the Ming Dynasty in history had the opportunity to change from a land power to a sea hegemony, but it has The downfall of China is only attributed to the sea ban, which is wrong.

In fact, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the rich and powerful families had already started to sail huge ships, and regarded the ban as nothing. Later, the Ming Dynasty officially lifted the sea ban. In the late Ming Dynasty, the Chinese fleet was still extremely powerful.

If it hadn’t been for the natural disasters and catastrophes that followed one after another at this time, giving the Manchus an opportunity to lead troops into the customs and destroy Ming Dynasty, and then barbarously invaded China, making the whole of China set back 300 years, then although the development process of the Han people would be bumpy, but will still lead the world.

What about now?The problem in the north has now been resolved to a considerable extent. At least, because of the transformation of the north, even if history will go back to the old road, this process will take a hundred years longer than the original history. Such a long time is enough Daming, which started more than a hundred years late in the age of great voyages, has once again become a maritime empire that dominates the world.

The Ming Dynasty will no longer have the irremediable situation of the Chongzhen era, and its transformation is likely to be the struggle and exchange between the emerging capitalist forces and the old feudal forces. In this way, the Chinese nation will not be allowed to make great strides way back.Therefore, Xia Xun has said everything that should be said, even if the emperor does not accept it, he has no regrets.

However, if Daming changed the maritime trade system at this time, he would not be suppressed by the civil service group and opposed by the entire ruling class, and they would all be the beneficiaries.In such frequent exchanges with other countries in the world, the advanced civilizations of the entire world will be brought into China in time to accommodate all rivers.If so, the Chinese nation will avoid many detours.

Such a result is of course what Xia Xun would like to see.

Zheng He smiled and gave Xia Xun an affirmative answer. He deliberately reminded Xia Xun that he should restrain his sharpness, but these words are hard to say, not only would it be suspected of slandering the Holy Majesty, but if he could not explain clearly, it would cause Xia Xun to misunderstand. Instead, it made him jealous.Anyway, His Majesty is a meritocracy, he has the world in his heart, and he didn't take this matter to heart, let alone mention it.

Thinking of this, Zheng He swallowed the words again, and said, "Duke, besides telling you about this, our family has a secret decree, which we want to announce to the Duke."

"Oh?" Xia Xun got up quickly after hearing this, and stood upright: "My minister Yang Xu, I respectfully listen to the imperial decree!"

Zheng He also stood up and told Xia Xun the emperor's secret order. Xia Xun was stunned when he heard it: "Going to sea? Going to the West? I have another year there, and everything is ready. Now I am going to go to the West. If it takes a long time to go, I'm afraid it will take a year or two? This has disrupted my overall plan..."

Seeing him in a daze, Zheng He felt a little strange: "Duke, what's the problem?"

"Ah? Oh! This..., huh, no, no, I was just a little surprised when I first heard the news."

Zheng He smiled and said, "That's right, there is no need to labor the Duke for such a thing, no wonder the Duke was surprised. It's just... this is the only problem with the Emperor!"

Zheng He sighed and said: "The emperor's talent is general, compared with the Han Wu Tang Zong, he will not give in at all. However, Lijiao kills people. Until now, there are still many stubborn people who are stubborn and angry with His Majesty. The words are shining gold, and the accumulation is ruined." The bones are broken, the emperor is not worried about that person's restoration, when that person was in power in the past, he controlled the world's soldiers and horses, and he could not help His Majesty, let alone today."

Zheng He and Xia Xun are very close friends, and now they meet again in the small study, and there are only two of them, so Zheng He also said openly, "It's just that this person has a special status. Nian Yu, not only the government and the public are uneasy, but also the reputation of His Majesty... Hehe, the Duke is a hero of Jingnan, so he naturally knows the reason.

At the beginning, Taizu Bintian, Jianwen trusted Jianhui and killed the flesh and blood. The current emperor was forced to raise troops due to danger.It was Jianwen who was ashamed of himself, ashamed to see the emperor's uncle, and died in adultery. The emperor was enthroned. If... Jianwen suddenly appeared again, how could the emperor face the world? "

Xia Xun nodded, of course he knew well, don't say that Zhu Yunqi called on the old Ministry of the Kingdom to rebel against Zhu Di, as long as he let out the news that he was still alive, Zhu Di would be sitting on the throne in an extremely embarrassing way. If you are sitting on pins and needles, you have to lack confidence in the face of all the officials. Although Xia Xun knew that Zhu Yunwen had already been frightened, it was too late to hide, and he didn't dare to add trouble to Zhu Di, but Zhu Di didn't know.

Could it be that he, Xia Xun, ran to make a guarantee with Zhu Di's chest: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhu Yunwen is no different than dead. He avoids foreign lands and dare not reveal his identity at all?"

Zheng He said: "To find out his whereabouts, it is really difficult to reach the sky. Apart from the Duke, the Emperor really can't find a suitable candidate. This task can only be done hard by the Duke and his party!"

Xia Xun thought to himself: "I'm afraid I can't shirk my trip to the West, and I have to change my plan a little bit."

Thinking of this, Xia Xun suddenly thought of something in his heart, and he hurriedly calculated in his heart, and said: "Eating the king's salary, sharing the worries for the king, this is the duty of a minister, so there is nothing to do. Since the emperor has Yang Xu will naturally carry out the dispatch. However, Yang wants to go with his father-in-law, and whenever he goes to a place, he has to go ashore before his father-in-law. Only a suitable identity can be achieved!"

Xia Xun paced around the room for a while, secretly calculated, and said to Zheng He: "To complete this mission, I need Shuangyu Guards!"

Zheng He asked in surprise, "Shuangyu Guard?"

Xia Xun said: "Yes, the officers and soldiers of Shuangyu were originally from pirates, and they are familiar with how to make friends with Fanyi. You might as well ask the officers and soldiers of Shuangyu to be a guard going to the West. Tell them to change into civilian clothes and go back to their old ways.

There are as many pirates as there are in the western seas, so my father-in-law knows it.If that person is hiding somewhere, although I heard that there is a pirate fleet mostly of oriental race, I will not suspect it as an officer, so as not to scare the snake! "

"Wonderful!"

Zheng He applauded with high-fives, and praised: "That's right, it's the best way to conceal your identity! Otherwise, our family is still worried that the Duke will go ashore first, and if there are fewer people with him, it will be difficult to inquire about news, and there may be dangers." Personal danger. If a person brings too many, what identity should he use to go? If the person hears about it, he will flee far away, and it will be even more difficult to find him.

Pretending to be a pirate is best.The guards of Shuangyu were originally from pirates, so they had no flaws in their profession!Haha, good strategy!Good plan!Our family immediately replied to the Holy Majesty, and issued an order to transfer the guards of Shuangyu to accompany them to the West! "

"Eunuch, wait a minute!"

Xia Xun hurriedly called Zheng He, and asked, "When is the voyage scheduled for this time?"

Zheng He said: "Everything is ready, we can purchase goods at any time, and set sail on the ocean. However, now that the tribute is to be dismissed, the market ships will be revoked, and the emperor has to appoint civil servants to participate, and at the same time attract business from the people. With these changes, I am afraid it will take some time. In this way..."

Zheng He made some calculations and said, "It's April now, three months should be enough, and we can set sail in July!"

Xia Xun said: "July, then Yang and father-in-law will go to meet the king together. During these few months, Yang wants to go back to Jinling to have a reunion with his family. Hehe, this trip will take at least two years a year. so……"

Zheng He understood it, and couldn't help laughing: "This is human nature, it should be so, it should be so!"
