Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 149
Just when Zhu Houzhao was about to speak, Liu Jin excitedly walked in from the outside, and eagerly came to Zhu Houzhao's side: "Your Highness, I found it!"

Hearing this news, Zhu Houzhao immediately stood up excitedly. Sure enough, Liu Daxia's hiding and burning of sea charts was a lie. In his previous life, Zhu Houzhao had also read a lot of analysis and speculation in this regard. In general, Zhu Houzhao tended to hide and burn sea charts. False, but Annan's is true, and it seems to be true now.

"Bring it in quickly!" Zhu Houzhao said to Liu Jin quickly, this thing is really important to Zhu Houzhao.

Not to mention nautical charts and the like, just the treasure ship is a great thing. Although later generations have many doubts about Zheng He's treasure ship, Zhu Houzhao doesn't think so.Perhaps it is not as big or as strong as recorded in later generations, but it is definitely a very powerful ship of this era, and it definitely has many practical and advanced tactics.

Perhaps it is not strong because it can only sail in the near sea and cannot go far. Maybe it does not have such a high speed, walks very slowly, and has many shortcomings, but as long as it is there, then the foundation of Daming's shipbuilding will be there.

Perhaps it is not suitable to be used as a battleship, nor is it suitable to be equipped with more artillery, but as long as it is there, to Zhu Houzhao, this is the most important thing.The factory craftsmanship contained in it is definitely very advanced, and there is no need to start from scratch. This will be the foundation of the Ming Dynasty Navy. The Ming Dynasty will definitely have a powerful navy. Zhu Houzhao believes that this day will definitely come.

Thinking of this, how could Zhu Houzhao not be excited, how could he not be excited, this is the era of the ocean, and he will never let Daming be absent.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was so excited, Liu Jin immediately became excited, and quickly waved behind her.

Soon a few people walked over carrying a large wooden box, which was covered in dust, apparently it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.Regardless of these, Zhu Houzhao went straight to a box, stretched out his hand and opened the box, and it was indeed full of books. He picked up a few books and looked through them, and Zhu Houzhao felt distressed immediately.

Moth-eaten and ant-bitten, many places were blurred, and some became dilapidated due to the return of moisture. Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that his heart was going cold.

"Take it back, take it all back, and find someone to copy it immediately, and make sure to protect it well, don't damage it again!" Zhu Houzhao turned his head and instructed Liu Jin.

The Ministry of War did not take care of it carefully, but Zhu Houzhao also knew that the Ministry of War entertained this thing, and how many people opposed going to Nanyang at the beginning would be disliked by this thing.If the top doesn't explain it, the people below will naturally not care about it. Laziness has become the norm. Who cares about these broken files that have been used for many years.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Liu Jin agreed, and quickly turned around to call for someone to carry him away. He knew that His Highness cared, so he was full of energy.

When Liu Jin left, Zhu Houzhao turned around and glanced at Liu Daxia, who was a little embarrassed, and then said with a smile, "Don't worry about it, sir. It's very good that it can be kept till now, and it's not your problem!" Zhu Houzhao made a The gesture of please invited Liu Daxia to sit down, and when Liu Daxia sat down, Zhu Houzhao asked with some doubts: "Sir, what did we just talk about?"

"Returning to Your Highness, I feel that the matter of Jiangsu and Zhejiang should be discussed with His Majesty!" Liu Daxia didn't care, but repeated his words again and again.

Zhu Hou looked at Liu Daxia, nodded, and then said: "It's natural, why don't you go to the palace with me, and then meet with the emperor, and then state the matter, but sir, the incident in Yangzhou has just ended, and the court should not be here. If you go to war, this matter must be stable, and the news must not be leaked, otherwise the southeast will be unstable!"

Liu Daxia quickly said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, took a sip from the teacup, and then asked seemingly casually, "Sir, is he from the Imperial Academy?"

Liu Daxia was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile: "Chen Tianshun became a Jinshi in the eighth year, and was conferred the title of Shujishi of the Imperial Academy."

"Sir, you are really talented and knowledgeable!" Zhu Houzhao also smiled, and then said: "In this case, why don't you enter the palace with me now, sir!"

"His Royal Highness, will the minister not go?" Liu Daxia stood up, a little embarrassed, but still said with a smile on his face: "The minister entered the palace with His Royal Highness, it is really a bit louder, since this matter is involved It is very big, it is better for His Highness to report to His Majesty in private, so as not to attract attention."

Zhu Houzhao nodded in a serious manner: "Sir, be careful, I have been educated, and in that case, then I will go to meet the emperor in private and discuss this matter face-to-face!"

"It's best to be so natural!" Liu Daxia stroked his beard with a very satisfied look.

After leaving the Ministry of War and getting into the carriage, Zhu Houzhao sighed in his heart. He was indeed an old fox. This Liu Daxia had always wanted to enter the palace to face the saint. What things can not be involved, it is simply slippery, and they don't give themselves any handles. Sure enough, none of the high-level people is easy.

Later, Zhu Houzhao asked Liu Daxia if he was born in the Imperial Academy. In fact, it is very simple. The Ming Dynasty cannot enter the cabinet unless it is the Imperial Academy.

The seemingly random question was actually saying that Liu Daxia could join the cabinet, which was what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said.

You can't get in now, but you can get in in the future. Liu Daxia is not stupid, so he can hear Zhu Houzhao's meaning, and in Liu Daxia's opinion, there should be no need to wait until the future.You must know that there are only three cabinet ministers in the cabinet now, and His Majesty seems to be dissatisfied with the three academicians in the cabinet.

When Zhu Houzhao expressed his support for Liu Daxia's entry into the cabinet, Liu Daxia immediately reciprocated, and directly accepted the idea of ​​entering the palace to meet the saint, as if he was only obedient to the prince's order.

Zhu Houzhao understood why his father believed so much that those cabinet scholars would listen to him. When these people faced his father in private, it was far from what they showed on the surface.Perhaps there are more nasty things and performances, and perhaps it is precisely because he dared to show these in front of the emperor that the emperor dared to use him.

For example, the current Liu Daxia, Zhu Houzhao has inexplicably had a better impression of him, but Zhu Houzhao still has no intention of recommending Zhu Houzhao to join the cabinet, and this matter still needs to be observed.

After leaving the Ministry of War, Zhu Houzhao went straight back to Xianyang Palace, where Liu Jin and others were already sorting out Zheng He's old files.Although Zhu Houzhao was impatient, he also knew that it was useless to be impatient, so he turned back to the house. It was still quite cold outside. After entering the house, Zhu Houzhao began to think about what to do before the New Year.
