In the 13th year of Chenghua, the Divine Cult fleet traveled along the route traveled by the Sanbao eunuch and brought back some new gadgets from Europa.

Dongfang Bubai ordered people to send a statue of the Madonna into the Wenhua Palace:

"Why, have you seen the Madonna of Europa before?" The Madonna carved on a square stone a foot away looked tenderly at the Son in her arms.

Zhu Youtang walked up to the statue of the Virgin Mary and looked at it carefully:

"I haven't seen it before, their gods are probably in another dimension."

Dongfang Bubai laughed out loud.

In the first month of the 13th year of Chenghua, Wang Zhi, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, was ordered by the emperor to build the West Factory. Zhu Jianshen gave one of the two Western clocks that Wang Zhi dedicated to Zhu Jianshen to the Queen Mother Zhou, and the other stayed in the palace of Concubine Wangui.

Wang Zhi gained power at a young age, and now his power as the admiral of the First Factory is not inferior to that of Jinyiwei Commander Wantong and the admiral of the East Factory Shang Ming.

In February, Yang Hua, the great-grandson of the late Shaobao Yang Rong, and the commander of Jianningwei in Fujian Province, Yang Hua and his father, Yang Tai, violently killed people in the village, and was reported by the enemy, so he went to Beijing to bribe, was discovered by Wang Zhi, and was imprisoned in the West Factory Tortured in the prison, and many ministers were implicated, for a while Xichang was "favoured by power, and everyone looked at him sideways".

Zhu Youtang in Wenhua Palace said to Dongfang Bubai:

"Although Wang Zhi is a young man, his methods are really vicious."

Wang Zhi's character is somewhat similar to Dongfang Bubai, and he always has a bloody smell in his actions.

Dongfang Bubai looked at Zhu Youtang for a while and said:

"Although Wang Zhi is not as good as Wynn, he is better than Liang Fang and others."

Zhu Youtang looked at Dongfang Bubai and smiled:

"Wang Zhi's two Western clocks were given by you." Calmly stated the facts.

Dongfang Bubai reached out to touch Zhu Youtang's temples and did not speak.

After the lunch break, Zhu Youtang went to school in Jiren Hall. Because of Zhu Jianshen's order, Zhu Youtang couldn't use desks and chairs and had to stand all the time in class:

"Li Rong, go and move the stool to Mr. Zhang."

Dongfang Bubai stopped Li Rong, looked sideways at Zhu Youtang and said:

"Your Highness, it's okay."

Zhu Youtang didn't insist either, he stood in front of Liu Jian and listened to Liu Jian's lecture, while Dongfang Bubai stood quietly behind Zhu Youtang.

Liu Jian said that the actions of Zhu Youtang and Dongfang Bubai had a panoramic view, and the expressions on their faces became more and more ugly.

"Your Highness, what do you think is the biggest drawback of this dynasty?" Liu Jian asked Zhu Youtang with a cold face.

Zhu Youtang thought about it:

"Preaching the official. There is no recommendation from the Ministry of Officials, no review by the cabinet, and the direct appointment by the emperor violates the original rules and encourages the crooked trend of gaining the emperor's favor through crooked ways."

Zhu Youtang was right when he said this, but he didn't mention Liu Jian's heart:

"Then what does His Highness think about Wang Zhi's generation from Shangming in the East Factory and Wang Zhi in the West Factory?"

Suddenly Dongfang Bubai looked up at Liu Jian, his cheeks were sharp and his face was obviously cold.

He even compared him to Shang Ming's generation.

Zhu Youtang suddenly understood what Liu Jian meant, and replied calmly:

"As long as it is used properly, it can also play a good role. The eunuch Zhong Huai Gong is a good example."

Liu Jian sneered:

"Duke Huai has good moral character. If there are people like Shang Ming and Zhao Gao around him, who should His Highness use?"

The excess of Wang Zhi's limelight in the court and central government aroused the dislike of eunuchs intervening in politics among the civil servants. Liu Jian held back his anger and caught this opportunity and sent it all to Zhu Youtang.

"Your Highness is young, surrounded by eunuchs, it is easy to distinguish between good and bad. The examples of eunuchs in the Eastern Han and Tang Dynasties that harmed the country are still in front of us. Why is Your Highness so confused now?" Liu Jian's spitting star almost splashed on Zhu You On the body.

Zhu Youtang understands the drawbacks of being an eunuch, but he can't tell Liu Jian that he is old enough to be good or bad, and he can't tell Liu Jian that the extremely unpleasant Zhang Gong you see is not an eunuch. He is the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect. If you say anything too much, he will slap you to death.

Zhu Youtang worried that Dongfang Bubai would shoot Liu Jian to death, but Dongfang Bubai just pulled Zhu Youtang, who had been baptized by Liu Jian's saliva, a step away from Liu Jian, and handed the handkerchief to Zhu Youtang with a calm face.

Li Rong next to him tactfully held hot tea and handed it to Liu Jian, and said with a smile:

"Master Liu, take a break with some tea."

Liu Jian pointed to Dongfang Bubai's nose angrily and said:

"Little man, Ning Xing."

Dongfang Bubai's face turned cold, and when he was about to raise his hand, Zhu Youtang pulled his arm to block Dongfang Bubai.

Zhu Youtang's complexion is also not good-looking:

"Respecting the virtuous and capable, and the presence of a hero, all the people in the world will be happy and willing to stand in his court. If the monarch is virtuous, he will naturally gather virtuous talents around him, even if he is a minister. How can Liu Shidao be biased now? It is generally believed that all the ministers are sycophants."

"If Liu Shidao is like other sour scholars, then I will be very disappointed with Liu Shidao." Zhu Youtang's modesty in the past faded away, and his words became aggressive.

Li Rong opened his eyes wide in surprise, the prince made a big deal for Zhang Gong.

Dongfang Bubai looked down at Zhu Youtang and pressed his arm. Zhu Youtang was also worried that he would really hurt Liu Jian, so he patted Zhu Youtang's arm and walked out of Jiren Hall with a smile. He didn't want Zhu Youtang either. It's embarrassing, since Liu Jian doesn't like him, it's okay if he doesn't show up.
