The Son of Heaven decided to move the capital, and he did not accept any objections.

Even if the ministers are dissatisfied, they will not get along with their heads.

A noon meeting-resistance-discussion, taking advantage of the fact that the Fengtian Temple in Beijing was struck by lightning, tears flowed, grabbed the ground with his head, and implored Emperor Yongle to think twice.

Zhu Di's answer was very simple, dispatched Jinyi Wei, all the officials who gathered outside the noon gate, regardless of the martial arts, whether it was the six Dali Temple or the six branches of the imperial history platform, registered one by one, neither beat nor scolded, made a list, and invited to the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town to drink tea and chat in order.

There is not enough place in Beizhen Fusi, and the edict is full?

It doesn't matter, the Son of Heaven has money in the inner treasury, expand.

Are the jailers understaffed?

If you have money, you don't have to worry about no one, expand your recruitment.

Jinyiwei abuses his power?

Tyre! When he lived in prison, he dared to slander the Son of Heaven's pro-army, set up Dongchang, and let the eunuchs in the palace have a good chat with Zhuqing.

Compared with the five big and three thick brocade guards, the smiling eunuchs are more affinity, and doing ideological work will definitely make people feel like a spring breeze and enlightened. Winter snow and summer thunder, unforgettable.

Historically, Dongchang, which was born in the eighteenth year of Yongle, appeared nine years in advance. Bai Yan returned to Bai Gonggong and became the first factory father.

From the eunuch who is the head of the War Bureau to the eunuch who holds the seal of the East Factory, the scope of functions has changed, and the status has also undergone a qualitative leap.

On the waist card of the new collar, it is clearly engraved with "Eunuch of the Kipchak Governor Dongchang Official School". The round-necked sunflower shirt was replaced with a more exquisite brocade robe, and the white father-in-law took a self-portrait in the mirror, firmly believing that he was worthy of this waist card and this dress.

His eyes swept over the eunuchs standing under the hall and the foreman who was temporarily transferred from the Jinyi Guard, and Bai Gonggong said majestically: "The Son of Heaven trusts our family, and our family must not live up to the trust of the Son of Heaven." Our family is a knife of the Son of Heaven, a vicious dog, whoever dares to make the Son of Heaven uncomfortable, our family will make him have a hard time for the rest of his life! Do you understand? ”

"Yes!"

Driven by a sense of responsibility and mission, Baichang Gong-Domineering-Qi-Side-Leak, Shun Lì became another "dang punishment" servant in the eyes of the courtiers, second only to Zheng Duo, the commander of Jinyiwei.

Since its inception, the sound of whipping has been incessant.

Under the contradiction and intensification, Dongchang, which appeared earlier than history, became more mysterious, acted more treacherously, and its prestige shocked the government and the opposition, and spread overseas. In the later period of the Yongle Dynasty, there was a faint momentum of overpowering Jinyiwei.

In this regard, Yang Duo, who has successfully "re-elected" the commander of Jinyi Guard for several terms, said that he is welcome.

With the fans of the East Factory attracting firepower in front, Jinyi Wei secretly stepped up his actions.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei, are they peaceful competition, or are wolves bèi treacherous...... In short, with the joint efforts of the two intelligence departments directly under the Son of Heaven, the Ming Dynasty's spy and spy undertakings flourished and made great strides forward.

The places visited by the Ming fleet, the overseas countries that established diplomatic relations with the Ming Empire, and the European countries that were forced to play with the Ming armed cavalry for centuries, every mention of "Ming East Factory" and "Ming Jinyiwei", all talk about the color change.

At the beginning of the establishment of the East Factory, there was no notoriety in later generations. cooperated with Jin Yiwei to carry out several arrests, interrogations, and interrogations, and his reputation gradually spread.

Far away in Beijing, Meng wanted to know the news of Nanjing, so he could only pass the Guòdi newspaper and letters from colleagues. Seeing the content of Xu Zengshou's letter, a sip of tea squirted out, choking and coughing.

"East Factory? White factory gong? ”

Uncle Meng wiped his mouth and felt incredible.

Sure enough, don't guess the history of the Ming Dynasty, you still don't understand if you guess.

Shen Xuan handed over the official seal and stepped down as the guard of Beijing. However, before the Son of Heaven officially moved the capital, he still had to be in charge of Beijing-military-affairs together with Wei Guogong. Approaching the completion of the palace, he was too busy to see anyone. If Meng wants to see Grandpa Guo, he must go to the Yamen of the Houjun Governor's Mansion to squat.

After a few times, Meng became irritable.

I don't want to admit that I am X and I don't want to lose my temper at will, so I can only divert my attention and focus on the cause of education.

Confucianism was added to the prelude to the month, but no information has been obtained so far. Meng didn't give up, went up again, and elaborated on the reason, so he said bluntly that this is to train thugs for the Ming Dynasty, cultivate irons, and also use this to generate income, and the benefits are great.

"The minister enlightens His Majesty, educates the people, teaches the doctrine of the saints, and preaches the great tomorrow's might...... Ze was ...... by later generations"

Thousands of words are sprinkled, the arguments are orderly, and the arguments are reasonable. It was the first time Meng had written such a long recital, and he put much more energy into it than he had into making firearms and improving the firearms battalion.

The manuscript was typed five times, and Fang felt satisfied when he held the lamp.

Just as he was about to transcribe, the door of the study opened from the outside, and Shen Xuan walked in.

The scarlet robe and jade belt, the robe is embroidered with a lion patch, and the gold medal is hung on the waist.

Meng put down his pen and couldn't help asking, "Grandpa Guo has just been on duty?" ”

"Yes." Shen Xuan nodded, walked to the side of the big case, and picked up the manuscript folded into a stack. After reading it carefully, his expression gradually became solemn, and his eyes flashed slightly.

"Twelve Lang is going to hand it over like this?"

"Grandpa Guo thinks it's inappropriate?"

"Not really." Shen Xuan put down the manuscript, read half of Meng's transcription, re-spread the paper, lifted a wolf's hair, dipped in ink, a regular script, the words are strong but not rigid, the pen is faintly sharp, read it many times, Meng still feels that such a civil and military all-round talent as Shen Xuan is really born to hit people.

"Twelve Lang has ever thought about it, since the establishment of the dynasty, not to mention the northern and southern regions, the eighteen mansions of Yingtian, the foot of the Son of Heaven, the place where the literary style is at its peak, in addition to Fuzhou and county schools, how many Confucianism-private-learning?"

Meng frowned slightly, deep in thought.

"Don't suffer from few, but suffer from inequality. Twelve Lang is not for fame, but for the country, others may not think so. In addition, many of the attached ministries have selfish motives. A large number of solicitations may not be happy to obey. It is not advisable to establish a new Confucianism, so it is better to be subsumed into the Beijing Guozijian, add a new subject, and limit the number of students. There is no shortage of people of insight in the court, and it doesn't take more effort from Twelve Lang to do this."

While speaking, Shen Xuan had put down the pen, dried the ink on the paper, and handed it to Meng.

"This seal is sparse, Xuan and Twelve Lang are co-signed."

After taking over the polished manuscript, the frowning brows gradually stretched, and the more I thought about it, the more reasonable I felt.

Sending it for free, breaking the head and fighting for it, there is a world of difference. With the thinking mode of Arutai and Mahamu, what is snatched will be cherished. I don't bother to think about whether there is a trap behind it.

"Grandpa Guo is wise!"

Meng always felt that there was a flaw in the plan, but he never found it.

Shen Xuan's words made him feel like an empowered, and his mouth suddenly opened.

No wonder the Son of Heaven didn't approve it, and he wouldn't agree to it.

He thinks about the problem, but he is still limited to a shot. The higher ones are thinking about the whole country. With the continuous expansion of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court will be a hundred times more cautious than in the past in formulating and implementing various plans and policies.

Patting the head of the project is unacceptable.

Hot-blooded head-filling can only play a role when charging into battle, and when it is used to govern the country, it is definitely digging a pit and jumping by itself.

"Twelve Lang understood?"

"Understood." Meng was in a good mood, grabbed Shen Xuan's collar, kissed the corner of his rosy lips, and kissed hard, "Ziyu is really my uncle Ji Kang." ”

Regardless of whether this analogy is appropriate or not, his thumb brushed the corner of his lips, and Shen Xuan was obviously stunned for a moment.

Seemingly, was - molested - played?

Uncle Meng didn't know that he was about to "come to a catastrophe", so he picked up the pen, and a solemn Taige body jumped on the paper. Pen down with a seal. Turning his head, he didn't wait to speak, his waist suddenly tightened, and his warm breath brushed his ears.

The big red sleeves waved, and the pen wash pen holders on the red sandalwood case fell to the ground one after another.

With his back on the cold table, Uncle Meng blinked, blinked, understood what the scene was now, and decisively ...... Excited.

Study XXX, I have been looking forward to it, but it has never been realized.

For the first time in 10 years!

Arms wrapped, tearing sound.

Retracting the claws of the murderer, Uncle Meng laughed dryly, "That...... A little excited......"

Shen Xuan raised his eyebrows and leaned over, his neckline slightly open.

Meng swallowed his saliva, endured it a few times, and finally didn't hold it back, and took a bite......

As a result of impulsiveness, Uncle Meng did not leave the room for two days.

The recital sent to Nanjing was directly transcribed by the grandfather of the country. With this, Uncle Meng discovered another talent of Dingguo Gong, but all the words he wrote could imitate seven or eight points.

What about genius? No matter how talented he is, the person is also his!

Thinking of this, Meng curled the corners of his lips, lay on the pillow, surrounded by the familiar cold incense, and met Zhou Gong to go.

In April of the ninth year of Yongle, Meng and Shen Xuan's joint performance was delivered to Yingtian.

In the same month, the imperial court ordered the establishment of a new section under the supervision of the Guozi in Beijing, and allowed the children of tribal leaders to pass the examination.

"The examination is limited to 20 people every three years, and it can be increased or decreased as appropriate."

"All those who enter the school will enjoy the rice of the students, and they will be given clothes and shoes in summer and winter. Compared with the same prisoner, there is a reward for the New Year's Festival. ”

"The duration of study is three to five years, and those who excel will be awarded civil and military official positions. Meritorious, the Xu family moved to the Central Plains. ”

"The age limit for children enrolled in school is five years old and under fifteen years old. Those who have reached the age of 25 and have been enrolled in school for five years and have not achieved anything will be returned, and the quota for the two phases of the examination will be cancelled without recovering Lumi. ”

The edict was proclaimed to the world.

The Wuliangha Jurchen can still be self-sustaining, and they can't enter the new department of Guozijian, as well as Daning martial arts.

Tatar Varat and the states that have heard the news are not calm.

The Tatar Taishi Arutai and the Taibao Ma'er Hawe, the Privy Council put aside their previous suspicions and sat in a tent to discuss, "Tatar is not what it used to be. If you can send your children to Beijing Guozijian, after completing their studies, they will definitely be able to get ahead. You can also show our loyalty to Daming! ”

Ma Ha and Dehuo Chi nodded repeatedly.

Can't compare to Uliangha, can't compare to Warat? In any case, more places than Warat must be sought. It is a matter of face and the future development of the tribe, and there is no room for any concession.

Mahamu, the leader of Warat, also gathered his leaders to discuss the matter in the big tent.

Everyone is interested in sending their children to the Beijing Guozijian, but not everyone has the opportunity. Before competing with other tribes, you must first compete within the tribe. The same is true of Mahmu's children and grandchildren.

The results of the Varat negotiations were similar to those of the Tatars.

Mahamu clapper, how to allocate the quota within Warat, don't worry, first fight for the quota and then talk. I was noisy, but I didn't get the quota, isn't it in vain?

"The leader is right!"

The dispute within the tribe was temporarily resolved, and the crowd dispersed.

Ma Hamu stopped Tuhuan and said, "From tomorrow, let Esen come to the big tent to learn the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty with me." ”

"Father, Esen is not old enough." Tuhuan was a little hesitant, he preferred the eldest son and the second son.

"This time is not enough, and there will be next time." "Among my grandsons, Esen is the youngest, but he is the smartest. I heard that the favorite grandson of the Ming Dynasty Emperor is similar to Esen's age. If Esen can enter the Ming Dynasty, he will have a much better chance of getting ahead than his brothers. ”

"Father, I understand."

"If only you understood." Mahamu sat cross-legged, "If Esen can be appreciated by one more person, I will pass on the position of the leader of Warat to you." ”

Tuhuan's breathing suddenly tightened, his black and red cheeks tightened, and his narrow eyes flowed with the same ambition as Mahamu.

"Who is the Father referring to? But tomorrow? ”

Ma Hamu shook his head, looked at Tuhuan's eyes, and hated iron not steel.

Big Tomorrow? It's a shame that he can figure it out!

"I'm talking about Daning Zhenshou, the surname of the Imperial Bestow Country, Xingning Bo!"

"Him?"

Mahamu didn't want to talk too much, and if he said too much, this son might not understand, but he was wrong. Take a puff of water-cigarette and say, "Go back and bring Esen tomorrow." Don't ask for anything else. ”

"Yes."

He withdrew from the tent and looked back to see that the curtain had fallen.

Father said, "Hinningbo?"

The reaction of the Tatars and Warat was expected by the imperial court. Originally, Beijing Guozijian set up a new section for them.

Jin Yiwei handed over the note and reported it truthfully, and Zhu Di was very satisfied.

The emperor was pleased, and as the proposer of the plan, Meng had a bounty of one hundred taels, three hundred taels of silver, a thousand pieces of treasure money, and ten horses of silk. Shen Xuan did not receive a reward, but after seeing someone from Beijing, he handed over five land deeds to Meng.

Pinching the title deed, Meng was speechless. One is worth two boxes, and people and people are really incomparable.

At this point, the matter is not over. The next development was beyond everyone's expectations, and even Meng, who came up with the idea, did not expect it.

The addition of disciplines in Beijing Guozijian and the expansion of foreign enrollment not only attracted Waratart, but also the southwestern states of Fanbang. Siam, Champang, Laos, and Chenla have sent envoys, hoping to send the children of the royal family and nobles to study in the Ming Dynasty.

The children of the royal family and nobles of Fanbang went to the Central Plains to study, which has been known since ancient times. There are children of the Ryukyu royal family in the Nanjing Guozi prison.

The envoy was very sincere, tears fell, and there were signs that the Ming Dynasty did not agree, so he splashed and rolled in front of the palace. Inevitably looking too bad, Zhu Di reluctantly agreed to increase the number of places by twenty.

When the news came out, the southwestern state was naturally grateful to Daming.

didn't wait for Zhu Di to be happy for too long, and something went wrong again.

The White Horde sent people to visit, and also hoped to send the children of the nobles to study in the Ming Dynasty.

"Great Emperor Ming, I hope you can be benevolently open-minded!"

For the sake of peace, and also to show the mind of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di nodded, okay, people accept it.

The envoys of the White Horde departed happily, and the ministers thought that this would be the end of the matter. It's a pity that the reality has given everyone a head-on blow, too stupid and naïve!

The Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which were pressed and beaten by the White Horde, got the news from nowhere, sent envoys, and came to Daming with great difficulty. There is only one purpose, to establish friendly relations with the Ming Dynasty and send the heir of the Grand Duke to the Ming Dynasty to learn advanced cultural knowledge.

Due to the language barrier and the fact that he was a wolf, the envoys of the two countries were almost regarded as liars. It wasn't until the preface class of Honglu Temple understood their half-baked Mongolian and confirmed that the documents were not forgery, that they lived in the same hall.

Without waiting for the matter to be resolved, the caravan of the Great Food Tributary entered Beijing. Immediately afterwards, the Western island countries visited by Zheng He's fleet paid tribute as scheduled. Upon learning of this, they all begged to see the Son of Heaven, hoping that Daming would not favor one over the other.

Is it able to keep up with the pace of learning? In short, people will send it first.

If you don't follow the procedure, there are also many people who smuggle and smuggle without permission, such as Japan. The new general was not very friendly to Daming, and his relationship with Daming became increasingly cold. Can't stand the people's yearning for the prosperity of the Central Plains, and the matter of jumping into the sea with a wooden basin happens almost every day.

There are many monks and little porridge, which can best describe the current situation.

Zhu Di has a headache, who to promise and who not to promise, it is a problem.

Continue to expand?

He didn't need to say anything, he knew there was going to be trouble. What should I do next time to expand this time?

I couldn't think of a good way, so I could only convene the ministers to discuss together.

The country's prestige is far-reaching, and it attracts admiration, and it is also a headache for the king of a country!

Zhu Di has a headache for the number of international students, but Meng is worried about another thing.

Dias, who was studying firearms in Daning, wrote to him that the Portuguese royal family wanted to pass him through and send his most sincere greetings to his uncle. It was also hoped that one day, the ships of the Ming and Imperial kingdoms would be able to visit Portugal and establish trade.

The Europeans could not defeat the Ottoman Turks, and could not reach the Ottoman Empire, the state-controlled seas, and were trying to find a new route to Fang. Passing through a bay, he encountered a huge fleet of Ming Dynasty ships, and almost took them as sea monsters and jumped into the sea in fright.

When the news came back, Diastone Guò was immediately regarded as a "great explorer" and "a capable man appreciated by the great nobles of the East". He was knighted by Portugal and Spain.

Meng was not interested in the sincere greetings of the Portuguese royal family, what he cared about was, where did Zheng He's fleet meet the Europeans?

It is impossible in the Americas, and it is even more impossible in Australia. Antarctica, the Arctic, you don't have to think about it. The only answer is Africa.

"Could it be that Zheng He discovered the Cape of Good Hope?"

Meng touched his chin, quite likely.

At the same time, the Ming fleet, which was worried about Uncle Meng, was riding the wind and waves to pursue a group of pirates.

Zhu Gaosui stood at the bow of the treasure ship, dressed in a big red dragon suit, with gold and silver threads, shining in the sun.

With his feet on the side of the ship, waving a long knife in his hand, his handsome face blown bronze by the sea breeze, with bloodthirsty excitement, "Catch up and shoot!" Can't hit? Crash and sink! Leave a few alive, lonely still waiting for the treasure hunt to be loaded onto the ship! ”

Zheng He stood behind him, very calm.

Obviously, this is not the first time that the scene in front of us has happened.

The pirates fleeing for their lives in front of them, regardless of nationality or skin color, have only one thought in their heads, run, run quickly, and be caught up, it will definitely be a shark's dinner!

It's a pity that the three-sailed wooden ship can outrun the Ming warship.

"Hand over the gold, silver, and gems on the ship, and summon the treasure location, or throw it into the sea to feed the fish!"

Staring at the big red figure on the treasure ship, hearing the interpreter's shouting, the thieves trembled, burst into tears, and their hearts were full of anger and grievances. Who the hell is a pirate?!
