My Daming New Empire

A country cannot be without a master, but it cannot have two masters!

Hou Xian was heartbroken and worried, but Yi Xin was relieved.

What he is afraid of is that the emperor will be in charge of the government and deprive the grandson of his authority, then they, the grandson party, will find it difficult to deal with themselves.

Now that the emperor is unwilling to be in charge, it means that there will be no power struggle.

Even if the emperor and the grandson are unwilling to deal with politics now, most officials can handle most of the affairs by themselves, and it will not have much impact.

So when they set off from Liujiagang, Yi Xin regained his composure.

Thinking of the gold and silver brought back by himself and Yi Xin, as well as the gains from exploring Dongzhou, this time, a marquis will definitely not be able to escape.

When Yang Dao was docked in Luzon, he had already learned the news of the prince's death from his uncle Xie Zhenqi. When the prince thought of his father, he couldn't help tossing and turning, unable to sleep peacefully.

Contrary to what he thought at first, his father and Yang Pu, two close ministers, were not neglected after the death of the crown prince.

His father actually served as the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, and Yang Pu also served as the secretary.

This is the first and second in command of the Guozijian, and he is in charge of tens of thousands of Daming's alternate officials. These two positions cannot be said to be unimportant.

He used to think that his father and Yang Pu would be unlucky, but now they are reused.

I thought that if I took refuge in my grandson, I would be prosperous, but a big storm turned me into a sinner.

The world is unpredictable!

There is also his own wife, who disregarded his humble status and married him, and instead of bringing glory to her, he implicated her.

But he was overjoyed knowing that his wife had given birth to a son for him, who was three years old this year.

When he comes back this time, no matter what the result is, he will treat her well.

As for the number one scholar, the eldest uncle, he asked to let him go, and Lu Song, who came to the barbarian land, surprised him.

A number one scholar, now like a mud leg, arranges people to farm and plant trees. This contrast makes Yang Dao almost think that the Xie family has eviled His Royal Highness.

But knowing that Jiejin is still the chief assistant of the cabinet, and that he knew the state from the fifth rank, Yang Dao knew that he had guessed wrong.

A number one scholar, at most the sixth grade, is now directly promoted by one level, and must be at least two levels higher than the same class.

Moreover, he was vague about the reason for his self-invitation, which made Yang Dao more confused.

Knowing what happened to Yang Dao, Xie Zhenqi told him not to worry.Encountering a storm is a natural disaster. Although the loss is huge, he cannot be blamed entirely.

And in his position as chief executive, he acted as the commander of Yiwei, drew a map of the entire Dongzhou continent, and understood the local people's livelihood, all of which were great achievements.

On the whole, his merits outweigh his demerits, at most his merits and demerits are balanced, and he continues to be his boss.

What Xie Zhenqi didn't tell him in detail was that based on his understanding of Zhu Zhanji, Yang Dao temporarily took over as the commander of the fleet with the position of Qian, and he successfully completed the task. If there is no accident, he will be rewarded.

As for the one thousand and one hundred people who died, to Yang Dao, they were living beings and colleagues, but in the eyes of the superiors, they were just tools to explore the world.

As long as you can understand the situation in Dongzhou clearly, no matter how many people you have, you can't lose.

Of course, the words can't be said too clearly, it's better to let the brother-in-law go back just worrying about gains and losses.If he was allowed to go back with confidence, His Royal Highness the Wise One would see it, but it would be a bad thing.

Responding to Tianfu from Liujiagang, all of them were replaced by steam sailboats. Although it was against the current, the fleet could arrive in a day and night.

And the return of the fleet did break the deadlock in Ying Tianfu.

Zhu Zhanji paid more attention to Dongzhou than Nanzhou.

Australia's iron ore, gold, uranium, and coal mines in later generations are indeed very rich, but they are only relatively speaking.

Australia has a total area of ​​just over 700 million square kilometers, most of which are wastelands and deserts. Many areas are not suitable for human survival.

South America, together with North America, covers an area of ​​more than 4000 million square kilometers, most of which are suitable for human survival.

The mineral resources, forest resources, and product resources on the American continent are dozens of times more than those in Australia.

So there is no comparison between the two at all.

More importantly, the power among countries in the world is a relationship of ebb and flow. When Ming Dynasty occupied the Americas, it directly cut off the foundation for Europeans to develop.

Without the resources of the Americas, Europeans could not have developed at all.

Therefore, not only in terms of product resources, but also in terms of strategic deployment, the Americas are much more important than Australia.

In Zhu Zhanji's plan, the Nanzhou and Nanyang regions are reserved for the development of the clan and nobles, while the Americas are reserved for their descendants in the future.

Now, apart from leaving New Zealand for later generations to himself and Lan Yan's eldest son Zhu Qikai, the rest of the place is going to be sealed off.

Now that the fleet has brought back news from Dongzhou, the entire fleet has 3 to [-] people, plus people from various tribes who came to worship, the news from Dongzhou must not be concealed.

A land that is larger, richer, and has more natives than Nanzhou is obviously more attractive than Nanzhou.

How to adjust the distribution of interests in this area has become a difficult test of Zhu Zhanji's political ability.

Therefore, even if Zhu Zhanji wanted to pretend to be reserved, it would be impossible to respectfully ask Zhu Di to govern himself.

After all, no one knows Dongzhou's situation better than himself, and he doesn't want Zhu Di to make random arrangements and disrupt his plans.

Just the day before knowing that the fleet would return, on July 21, Zhu Zhanji had breakfast, knelt down outside the Jinshen Hall, and handed in the "Respectful Invitation to the Emperor's Ancestor's Handbook".

Now the eunuchs in the palace, including Wang Yan, are already considered Zhu Zhanji's people. They immediately sent people to come over to support Zhu Zhanji's roof, and handed the booklet in.

Although everyone knew that this was an act, but the play had to be performed in its entirety. At this moment, no one dared to break the curtain of this tacit understanding.

This land in the east, although since ancient times, the history of fighting for the throne and the throne ranks first in the world, and countless magnificent historical poems have occurred.

But abdication has never been cut off in this land.

Abdication has appeared since the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and abdication appeared frequently in the Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn and Warring States.

Since the Han Dynasty, there have been 42 abdications with detailed historical records.

The last time, less than 200 years ago, Wanyan Shouxu of Emperor Aizong of the Jin Dynasty gave the Zen throne to Wanyan Chenglin, the emperor of the late Jin Dynasty.

Some of these Zen positions are inner Zen, and some are outer Zen. Whether it is voluntary or forced, basically they will not give up just once, and then the successor can't wait to succeed.

In particular, the voluntary meditation position of inner meditation basically requires at least three times of abdication and three times of refusal.

This is not hypocrisy, but a kind of etiquette.

It is expected that Zhu Di's imperial decree was refuted by the minister twice.When Zhu Zhanji came here, even if the imperial decree came into effect, he would have to reject it three times before accepting the decree.

In the main hall, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji's book in front of him, shook his head with a smile and said, "The fleet that went to Dongzhou has returned, so Zhanji can't hold back anymore!"
