[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Zhu Houzhao was determined to deal with Xu Jin. Even though he hadn't done anything yet, the turmoil in the upward direction was more or less transmitted to Xu Jin's ears.Xu Jin felt annoyed, but he didn't dare to resist in the end, he only hoped that he could clench his tail and escape this difficulty.It stands to reason that it is not up to You Erguan to do things like Zhaohe diplomacy, but it was his own fault, and You Er is Du Ruo's confidant, so he had to endure it and stare at You Er sending this group of people away. On the capital.

These people are all devout believers of Allah, and there are many particularities.They do not eat pork, do not bow to people other than Allah, and do not eat livestock slaughtered by foreigners.In order to bring them to the capital safely, You Er spent a lot of effort.

With the development of trade and the development and promotion of agriculture and animal husbandry, the prohibition of killing cattle has been broken long ago.The ban is easy to break, but beef is hard to come by.In order to treat these people well, You Er lived a tangled life of buying cattle and sheep, and watching people in the mission kill cattle and sheep.You Er, who has grown up and done things for so long, let the guests solve their food problems by themselves when entertaining distinguished guests.

Different from when Luo Zhijian came to Daming, Luo Zhijian came from uncivilized Europe, and it was the first time he had seen such a bustling street market, naturally it was like grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.This group of envoys from the Ottoman Turkish Empire came from a huge western Muslim empire that was not inferior to Ming Dynasty at all. The wealth of Ming Dynasty shocked them and made them afraid at the same time.

All the way eastward from Hami to Datong, via Luoyang to Xi'an, continue eastward by boat along the Yellow River, and finally go north to Beijing.This is the route planned long ago.You Er led them to appreciate the best scenery in the north of Daming. When they go back, they will take the water by sea, and then they will see the real prosperity of Daming.

Du Ruo didn't mean to show off his wealth on purpose. In fact, this country that has lasted for the twentieth century is a hypothetical strong enemy of Ming Dynasty.Now the two countries are still separated by Mongolian tribes and other various small tribes and small countries. What if one day they are interested in Ming Dynasty.There are some things that have to be guarded against, rather than making them ignorant and delusional, it is better to show them Da Ming's strength now, even exaggerating a little, so that their covetousness will be deterred Those who dare not look up.

As a modern visitor, Zhu Houzhao is also consciously or unconsciously mitigating the influence of the Chinese tradition of kneeling.When those European envoys came, Zhu Houzhao allowed them to kneel on one knee.In addition, the current Chinese people have not yet received the enslavement education of the Manchus, even if everyone discusses it in private, they have to keep their mouths shut in front of Zhu Houzhao.

At the same time, the powerful national power displayed by the envoys of the Ottoman Turkish Empire also shocked everyone.It has a larger territory than Ming Dynasty, exquisite weapons, and exotic etiquette and customs.If the exchange with Europe is a glare of sunshine, it has awakened the arrogant ministers and celebrities.This exchange was more like a big slap across the cheeks of these people.

It turns out that Daming is just a big country that can still have a slight influence among hundreds of countries in the world.There are people outside people, and there is sky outside the sky, so people do not deceive me.

While the Ming people were shocked, the elites of the Ottoman Turkish Empire were also shocked.They have Turkish Lumi guns, and Daming has gradually popularized firearms to every soldier.The empire maintains a strong advantage over the navies of European countries, and the strength of Ming's navy cannot be underestimated.And the extravagance of the Ming Dynasty was better than that of the nobles of the empire.The capital of this distant country, the capital, is rich and abundant, more like a paradise.

Zhu Houzhao knew that they were a country where politics and religion were united, and religious teachings were more important than anything else. He was afraid that something would happen to them, so he didn't want to arrange them with envoys from other countries, but Du Ruo persuaded him.They wanted the Ottoman Turks to demonstrate the national power of Ming Dynasty first, and what could be more shocking than the congratulations from all nations, Zhu Houzhao changed his mind.

Everything went smoothly, but Zhu Houzhao was deeply hurt by a sentence from one of the missionaries. "We have traveled all the way. Although your country is rich, some people live in heaven, and some people live in hell. The capital city of your country is full of silk and satin. When we passed a dim yellow river On the side, those people don’t even have clothes to cover their bodies.”

A large dim river refers to the Yellow River.This was originally what the envoy said in order to save face, but these words were more piercing than the tip of a needle.Zhu Houzhao can see the changes in the capital and the south, but how much he has changed in places he can't see.It's just that Zhu Houzhao is a generation of emperors after all, and his heart is wider than ordinary people.But it was a little uncomfortable, and I let it go.Only use this as a goal to motivate yourself to work hard.

Ottoman Türkiye is a mountain between east and west.Even if there is a waterway now, it is cheaper and safer than the land way.As a long-established powerful country, the arrival of the envoys of the Ottoman Turkish Empire also alarmed the envoys of various countries in the capital.For a while, all kinds of Western-style carriages in the capital pulled the envoys here every day, which made everyone watch a lot of good shows.

Only after the envoys of the old empire had been settled, Zhu Houzhao was free to deal with Xu Jin.He already had a lot of dissatisfaction with Xu Jin, and what happened this time deepened Zhu Houzhao's bad impression of Xu Jin.Zhu Houzhao is already considering whether to transfer Xu Jin elsewhere.

Now the north must be getting more and more stable, and Xu Jin's symbolic significance has gradually outstripped his real meaning of fighting with swords and guns.Keeping Xu Jin in the north, like a stone lion in a town house, deters the Tatars in the north and sifts them with fire, which is naturally easy.Not [-], just in case, I'm afraid that Xu Jin, a lion, will suddenly come to life, and if he catches someone's paw, whether it's inside or outside, the consequences will be disastrous.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Houzhao wrote the imperial decree by himself, reprimanding Xu Jin for not looking at the court, making decisions without authorization, and hindering the country.What I said was a bit heavy, so Zhu Houzhao didn't send anyone to announce the decree, but only made a secret decree, and it was rushed to Xu Jin's hand for eight hundred miles.If Xu Jin was acquainted, he would plead guilty on the table, and the two of them would slowly resolve this matter through heart-to-heart, which would be the luck of Ming Dynasty and the luck of Xu Jin.If Xu Jin complained and was still unwilling to bow his head, Zhu Houzhao had to make another plan.

The incident of Ottoman Turkey's envoy caused a great uproar, and even Zhu Youtang, who didn't care much about the government, was alarmed.Especially after hearing Zhu Houzhao talk about every aspect of this country, Zhu Youtang sighed: "It seems more and more that I was ignorant back then. Even in such a big country, I only know a few words, and I don't know anything else. It is you who are promising, and the Ming Dynasty will depend on you in the future." Already!"

Zhu Hou took care of the sadness he said, and quickly changed the subject, only talking about the wormwood sneaking out of the palace. "I wonder if we should choose some girls like attendants to play with my younger sister. There is only a little girl like her in the whole palace. Even if she is accompanied by a palace maid, she is very lonely."

This matter touched Zhu Youtang's heart. "It's because your mother and I were negligent. She only circles around the two of us all day long, and she has been wronged. It's just that there was no such rule before, and there will inevitably be many incidents." Zhu Youtang only hates himself now He's a useless person, he can't manage these things, and Zhang needs to think about himself all day long.

There is no other person in charge in this palace, and Zhu Houzhao can take care of some things if he thinks of them, but if Zhu Houzhao can't think of them, it's fine.For example, today's matter, if Zhu Houzhao hadn't brought it up, Ai Cao would have been wronged.

"It's not much. What Ai Cao likes is just flowers and plants, and those ladies are naturally not proficient in these things. If there are young daughters who are good at this in the families of the officials of the Ministry of Industry, they will volunteer to be Ai Cao's companion. Read. Ai Cao chooses whichever ones she likes. A separate palace is opened in the palace for them to live in, and it is also like the academy outside. Every ten days, there is a bath. Now the palace is empty everywhere, and it is very convenient."

Mrs. Zhang just came in from the outside with the maids in the palace carrying the medicine Zhu Youtang drank. Hearing these words, she also thought it was a good idea. "There was no such rule before, because the palace has a large population, and the princesses also have many brothers and sisters. Naturally, there is no need to choose another companion to read. Now the number of people in the palace is getting smaller every day, and it is indeed deserted. More children The girls are also lively. It's just that this position has to be chosen well, otherwise Zhao'er is not yet married, and there must be someone with ulterior motives."

"I only go to Weiyang Palace and East Palace on weekdays. Then I can find a palace that is far away and closer to the palace gate." Even if this matter is confirmed, Zhu Houzhao secretly takes this matter to heart , Just waiting to go back and order to do this.

But Mrs. Zhang said: "I'll do it. If you make an order, you are the emperor, and it will be inconvenient for you to involve the wives and ladies. I, the empress dowager, came forward to choose a companion for the princess, and just kept the matter quietly. If you do it, it won't make a fuss, and it's cheap." Zhu Hou agreed.

For a time, the visit of the Ottoman Turkish Empire mission and the selection of the princess as a companion became big news in the capital.One matter is a major event of the court, and it is also a private news. It is this event that arouses everyone's unprecedented passion for understanding countries.Although one thing is done in a low-key manner, it is inevitable that it will cause waves.

Zhu Houzhao is now at the age of marriage, but there is no sound in the palace.Now that the princess is selected to accompany the reading, everyone will inevitably combine this matter with Zhu Houzhao's choice of concubine.Although the Empress Dowager Yizhi only chose the daughters of the Ministry of Industry, other officials and officials were also ready to move, wondering if they could open a gap here and send their daughters into the palace.If it succeeds, it will be just around the corner.
