Emperor Hongzhi was silent, also because of this world map in the textbook.

As early as yesterday, Li Zhaotong asked Zhu Houzhao to bring a set of textbooks from the Global Academy to the imperial front and hand them over to Emperor Hongzhi, the mountain chief, for review.

Emperor Hongzhi had nothing to do and began to flip through it.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned a little about the simplified characters and pinyin on this set of textbooks, but he didn't express any opinions first, because he knew that Li Zhaotong had always done things with his own reasons, and he was ready to wait and see what happened.

Not to mention, in this set of textbooks, a loyal and patriotic truth is imperceptibly taught, which makes Emperor Hongzhi very pleased.

It's just that when he finished flipping through this set of textbooks, he found that there would be a picture at the back of each book, and when he looked at it carefully, he found that it was a map, and it was also a map of the world.

When he saw that Da Ming only occupied a corner on it, the mentality of the emperor of the Celestial Empire, who had always been the only one in Emperor Hongzhi, was suddenly violently impacted, and he was silent.

He never expected that the outside world was so big, and besides, there were several empires that seemed to have a territory larger than the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking of the corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cinchona trees that Li Zhaotong mentioned to him, Emperor Hongzhi began to doubt:

Is Daming not as rich as anyone else?

Emperor Hongzhi began to have a sense of crisis, and he was worried about the future of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, he was also a little lucky, glad that the Ming Dynasty was far away from these powerful enemies, and that the Ming Dynasty had a saint like Li Zhaotong, which allowed him to discover this huge hidden crisis.

However, what Emperor Hongji feels strongest at the moment is a sense of urgency.

Because although they are far apart, one day, maybe the other party will call.

Seeing that the Buddha Franc machine on the map, which was only a little bit of size, actually had the ability to cross the ocean and go to the Golden Continent to obtain the divine objects, on the other hand, the Ming Dynasty was still implementing the sea ban and lost the ability to cross the ocean.

The other party is getting stronger, but the other side is getting weaker, one after another, one day in the future, can the Ming Dynasty still be the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire?

I'm afraid that the land of Shenzhou will be trampled by the iron hooves of foreign races again!

So, hurry up while the other party is still weak, seize the time to clean up the mountains and rivers, and become strong again!

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi's attention to the Universal Academy has increased by a few percent!

"Xiao Jing, summon the cabinet and the six ministries, as well as the princes in Beijing to come to see me."

Emperor Hongji intends to open the eyes of his ministers as well.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Jing, who served Emperor Hongzhi, had already seen the world map, and he was shocked at first, and at the same time, this eunuch also had a sense of crisis in his heart, and now seeing that His Majesty summoned the ministers to meet him, Xiao Jing understood the intention of Emperor Hongzhi.

He didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately went to arrange it.

……

"Second brother, what's going on with Hangul?"

After Li Zhaotong finished his lecture at the Beijing branch of the Global Academy, he swaggered home for lunch, but when he got home, he met Li Zhaoxian who walked straight towards him.

"Korean?"

Li Zhaotong was slightly stunned:

"Oh, I saved his mother yesterday, what's wrong with him?"

Li Zhaoxian replied:

"No wonder! As soon as my brother arrived in the country today, he pestered me, asking me to bring him to see you, saying that he wanted to repay his kindness.

But the second brother, he wants to repay the favor, you have to be careful, his father's case is a hot potato, it's not easy to investigate, don't get involved in it, make trouble for our father! ”

"Hmm."

Li Zhaoxian nodded:

"Don't worry! Big brother, Han Yong's case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intervened, it is estimated that His Majesty already knows about it at this time, and has even arranged for someone to investigate, and it is not my turn to get involved. ”

"That's good."

Li Zhaoxian breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this Han Wen has asked for help in Guozijian, but unfortunately, no one should be willing to help him.

"You go and see him, and arrange him in the East Warm Pavilion for your brother."

"yes, okay."

……

"I've seen Eun Gong!"

Li Zhaotong entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, Han Wen was about to kneel down and bow down, how could Li Zhaotong dare to accept such a big gift from him at a young age, so he quickly supported him and asked him to get up.

Han Wen probably didn't really want to kneel, so he didn't use much force, Li Zhaotong held him up a little, and he stood up.

Then, the two sat down, and Li Zhaotong asked:

"Uncle Han, how is Ling Tang now?"

"Cheng Engong has helped, and my mother is no longer in the way."

Han Wen replied gratefully, his mother's biggest problem is indeed hunger, and after supplementing nutrition, his mother's state has become much better.

"It's okay."

Li Zhaotong nodded:

"Then Uncle Han is coming to me now, why are you doing it?"

Han Wen immediately stood up again, this time he didn't give Li Zhaotong a chance to refuse, he bowed to Li Zhaotong and said:

"Han Wen is not very capable, only he has a body of martial arts and knows a few big characters, so he can only repay Engong with this martial arts, and ask Engong to take him in, so that Han Wen can be a guard by Engong's side."

"You're going to be my bodyguard? This will not work! ”

Li Zhaotong was unwilling and confused, he was puzzled:

"Uncle Han, I'm not the only one who is kind to you, that Imperial Doctor Liu, and that Zhu Gongzi, you should have guessed that he is the crown prince, and they are also kind to you!

And the prince also helped you report the matter of Ling Zun to His Majesty, I think His Majesty should send someone to investigate this matter, in this way, the one you owe the most kindness should be His Royal Highness the Prince!

If you want to repay the favor, you should go to the prince first! ”

"No!"

Han Wen shook his head,

"Han Wen knows very well in his heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Imperial Physician Liu are certainly very kind to me, but Han Wen can tell clearly, if there is no Engong, there will be no such thing as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Imperial Physician Liu showing me kindness at all.

Therefore, Eun Gong, your kindness to me is the most important, and Han Wen earnestly asks Eun Gong to take it in. ”

Li Zhaotong didn't believe what Han said.

He estimated that Han Wen was actually speculating, and the prince was there, he wanted to repay his kindness, but he couldn't go to the East Palace.

And Liu Wentai actually doesn't have much kindness to him, because this Han Wen is also a smart person, he knows that if he and the prince are not there, Liu Wentai probably won't look at him and his mother.

So, this Korean is sticking to itself.

"Okay!"

Li Zhaotong pondered for a moment and said:

"If Uncle Han you have to follow me, I don't object, but I don't want you to be my guard, I want you to help me do things."

Regardless of whether Han Wen speculates or not, at least he is really grateful to Li Zhaotong, and Li Zhaotong knows this very well in his heart.

It just so happens that there is a serious shortage of people under him recently, this Korean has martial arts and literacy, and he happens to be the talent he needs.

"But...... Uncle Han, if you help me do things, this may delay your studies in Guozijian. ”

After thinking about it, Li Zhaotong added this sentence, although he was sure that Hanwen's road to the imperial examination was almost hopeless.

"Alas......"

Han Wen smiled bitterly,

"Eun Gong, my own affairs, I know very well.

My Han is not the material for the imperial examination at all, if it weren't for my father's grievances, I would have left the Guozijian a long time ago.

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already helping my father avenge his grievances, this country's eunuch, as far as my Korean language is concerned, it is okay not to go. ”

"Okay!"

Since Han Wen has no opinion, Li Zhaotong is of course willing to recruit such a general, and he muttered according to his train of thought:

"Then you will follow me to take charge of Global Construction! Global Construction is an estate purchased by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and me, and you are responsible for it, and you can repay His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the same time. ”
