After the feast, Jia Cong went home and made love with Baochai, and soon, Emperor Hongde Ling issued a holy decree, ordering Jia Cong to sit in the cabinet, and often go to the warm pavilion to discuss military aircraft.

Zhang Qian, the Empress Dowager of Cisheng, also issued a decree and rewarded some rare treasures, and the holy decree and the decree were announced by Ge Xuanli, the head of the Inner Palace Military Bureau, and Xia Shouzhong, the head of the Internal Affairs Office.

After this incident, even Baochai, who does not understand government affairs, can see that the husband has gone one step further in the court and is hot.

From the champion to Hanlin, from the patrol to the university scholar, until today's power, how beautiful is it to marry such a man? also convinced all her arrogance and squeamishness.

Afterwards, her cloud bun was piled up green, her pretty face without powder was "left" a few traces of redness, and her skirt was swaying, just like Concubine Yang taking a bath, her temples were swaying, and the hibiscus tent was warm for the Spring Festival.

"Is it that in the future, you don't have to go out of Beijing?" Xue Baochai's slender jade hand kneaded Jia Cong's shoulder, and his teeth opened lightly.

"It's hard to say, I want to ask the emperor to go to the southeast to supervise the division. The Dutch East India Company had not yet completely withdrawn from the country of Qianxiang, and the Zheng clan of the king of Nan'an County had no influence at all in its place. ”

Jia Cong turned around, picked up his wife, put her on his lap, and pondered: "Some foreign missionaries say that the Spice Islands are closer to our Huaxia, but why don't we control it ourselves?" But let the Tessians from farther afield, such as Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands, travel thousands of miles across the ocean to pick up the bargain? In their eyes, our country, in some places, is like a fool, and indeed stupid. ”

"Not in his position, not in his politics, now that I am in this position, I have to do something."

Xue Baochai snuggled in her arms, without saying much, as a wife, she also wanted to stay together, especially hoping to have an heir.

He never mentioned that his husband was marrying a concubine outside, as if he didn't know about it.

"You are a person who does great things, this is a matter of duty, and it is also an unshirkable responsibility, I can't say." Xue Baochai's worried look disappeared in a flash, changed the topic, touched Jia Cong's chest and said, "I'm afraid the third girl is still sad." ”

Because they did that kind of thing just now, the girls all retreated, and only came in afterwards to reply and wait, Jia Cong casually asked Qingwen to send some silk from the palace.

……

In the Rongqing Hall on the West Road, all the women were respectful to Concubine Nan'an.

Concubine Nan'an sat on the main seat, and Jia Tanchun was summoned by Zhou Rui's family.

Mother Jia just sat with her, and said with a smile: "The concubine has taken a fancy to you and wants to accept you as a righteous daughter, three girls, why don't you kneel down and thank you?" ”

Mrs. Xing twisted her fat body and didn't say a word.

Mrs. Wang's Tipa wiped away her tears, although Tanchun was a concubine, she was raised by her since childhood.

Concubine Nan'an also didn't say a word, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but in that kindness, there was a gift and condescension, and it could not be vetoed.

Jia Tanchun was in a trance, she couldn't come back to her senses, if this was the case, how could she have the power to resist.

In their opinion, although Jia Cong has become the pillar of Jiafu and supports the clan with his own strength, the decision of the county king's family is probably far from being vetoed.

After all, Jia Cong is still young and has not yet gotten the real decision-making power of the cabinet, after all, Dashun is not the Ming Dynasty, and those who have the title may also have great power in the court.

And he is still a king, above all titles.

In the face of such pressure, what is the little auxiliary minister Jia Cong?

Not every auxiliary minister has power, and there are too many people who are drowned in this system and institution, obscure, and foolish, and there are too many in history.

The charm is still there, and the concubine Nan'an, who does not show her old state, raised her chin slightly.

Just when Jia Tanchun was about to kneel down in tears, Qingwen Xiangling suddenly came in and replied, and after listening to their reply, Mrs. Jia Muwang was stunned.

"What's the matter? Are you unwilling? "Concubine Nan'an is displeased.

Mrs. Xing was a little proud: "It's not a big deal, it's the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and the Inner Court who rewarded Cong'er with some silk, and it's hard for him to remember it, so I sent some over." ”

Concubine Nan'an's eyes were fixed, she often entered the palace to participate in banquets and various royal etiquette, in addition to the Empress Dowager Zhang Qian, Hongde's biological mother Concubine Yu also added the Empress Dowager, so now there are two palaces of the Empress Dowager, side by side.

This signal is really intriguing, could it be that Jia Cong is in power alone at a young age?

She is just one step ahead, but Heqin has not really made up her mind.

Concubine Nan'an's face was a little ugly.

The women of Jiafu had complicated faces.

……

South Seas, Penghu Islands, a certain port.

Van Dyck of the Dutch East India Company sipped wine elegantly and comfortably.

The Netherlands is a low-country country, and they are most proud of their dam, "Van" in the Dutch language, which also means "embankment".

After Portugal and Spain, the Netherlands also became a maritime power, but at the end of the 18th century, the Dutch East India Company faced the fate of dissolution and collapse.

A hundred years ago, in the "decisive battle of Geranza" in the Ryukyus, Zheng Chenggong was defeated, and the Netherlands was defeated.

"Oh my God, even if the Thirteenth Gentleman of the East Indies had not sent me a mighty warship to dominate the Spice Islands, the golden kingdom of the Far East described by Marco Polo would be as vulnerable as the natives of Goa and Cochin, as the natives of Goa and Cochin!"

Van Dijk said proudly to the priest.

He was appointed Governor of the Far East in Penghu by the thirteen largest shareholders of the East Indies.

The priest posed a cross in both hands and said with a solemn attitude: "God and the Virgin Mary bless you, we have survived the terrible and long scurvy, and the business of the Netherlands, Zeeland, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam is flourishing. I believe that the Ryukyus will definitely return to the arms of the all-powerful great God, and all people should submit to God, not to surrender to heresy, we must represent God, take the bombardment or burning, God is with you. ”

"Oh! You make me want to go back to Amsterdam and dance with the ladies at elegant banquets. The ships of the Far East are inferior to ours, and I heard that the ships of one of their provinces have been destroyed by a storm, and it is time to blast open the gates of the Ryukyus and the Wa kingdom under the guidance of the divine God. ”

There are churches, hospitals, warships, monasteries and other Western-style places, and bloody colonization and world trade are always accompanied by hypocritical preaching.

Just like the exaggerated Columbus in the history books, this "great navigator" went to bloody massacres and plunder.

Because of them, countless natives are becoming extinct, and countless spices, silks, porcelain, gold and silver treasures, etc., in exchange for huge dividends, so that the people of the entire Dutch provinces are immersed in cheerful and luxurious enjoyment, stepping on the white bones of countless people.

Just as Prince Henry of Portugal swept thousands of miles in West Africa, Spain exterminated the civilizations of Central and South America.

The "great" navigators, all the way to the bloody storm, they opened up two routes to the west, one is the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, the other is the Arabian Sea, the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean, for which the Persian Gulf of Khormzik was once ravaged.

For this reason, Peruvian silver, in order to meet the Spanish governor, paved ten miles to form a sacred cross, how worthless silver is there.

In the Far East, Malacca, Manila, the Spice Islands, Siam, Macao, Shuangyu to Penghu, Ryukyu, and the Wa Kingdom, these trade routes, under the Pope's arbitration to divide the world, Magellan still sailed from the west without fear of death, and after nine deaths, and opened up a route from Mexico to Luzon, it can be seen that their fanaticism and unwillingness to give up.

And Van Dijk is also unwilling to give up.
