Chapter 475: All Nations Come to Court
On the map, there is a red heart.
In the depths of the red heart, there was a big cross.
This shocking cross immediately attracted the attention of Emperor Hongzhi.
This is......
Emperor Hongzhi's gaze suddenly brightened a little, this is a new continent.
This huge continent can be said to be isolated from the rest of the world, with oceans on both sides.
But the scale of the continent is huge, but in the middle of this, the legendary Three Treasure Eunuchs have actually made a mark here.
Here...... It is the land of the gods, producing 10,000 catties of good seeds per mu, and its livestock do not have to eat more, but can produce thousands of catties of meat.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but tremble, and the brilliance in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
He subconsciously pointed here with his finger, and at the same time suddenly thought of Fang Jifan's report before going to the West, so he looked up at Fang Jifan and said, "Fang Qing's family, you said before that there is a country in the extreme west, and there is a god seed?" ”
Fang Jifan said in his heart, yes, I said it.
There was a look of surprise on his face: "Why did Your Majesty ask about this matter today?"
Emperor Hongji took a deep breath!
In fact, he trusted Fang Jifan.
This guy has always been quite reliable.
But sometimes, he can't help but ask himself, for the sake of this illusory legend, he spent countless money and food to go to the West to seek divine seeds, what is the difference between this and the first emperor ordering people to go to the sea to find elixir? The risks and investments were so great that he had to feel uneasy in his heart many times.
Can ...... now All of this has been confirmed.
Even the eunuchs of the Three Treasures know about it!
Sanbao Eunuch and Fang Jifan, but they are characters who are a hundred years apart, these two people are very reliable, but they also point to this extreme west, that piece, in the heart of Emperor Hongzhi, an unprecedented continent, what does this mean?
Emperor Hongji was silent for a long time and fell into thought.
Then he said lightly: "A hundred years ago, the Three Treasures Eunuch had mentioned this matter on this map, the Three Treasures Eunuch went to the West seven times and had a wide range of knowledge, he made this map, I think it was to remind the court to seek this crop with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu." Just ........."
Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi sighed faintly, and then said: "It's just why, he didn't mention this matter in the end?" Is it because this map is missing in the wooden bone bundle, and he can't determine the exact location, so he doesn't dare to bring it up? Or ......"
Emperor Hongji's eyes closed.
Fang Jifan saw him talking to himself, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, is it possible that the minister who opposed Zheng He was in charge at that time, not to mention that at that time, Emperor Wen had died, and the new emperor had no great interest in going to the West. ”
"Sinful?" Emperor Hongzhi's eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light.
The ministers who accompanied him seemed to have guessed something, and they couldn't help but think in their hearts, yes...... That's it.
Think about it, just when the new emperor was not interested in going to the West, when many people in the court began to criticize Zheng He, and countless scholars thought that going to the West was a waste of money and food.
At this juncture, Zheng He dares to tell everyone, in the extreme west, is there such a magical seed?
I'm afraid that if he hasn't brought it up yet, he will be attacked by countless people the next day, thinking that he has deceived the king.
Now the Manchu monarchs and ministers are convinced that there are such miraculous seeds in the world because of the appearance of sweet potatoes and potatoes, which makes everyone believe in believing what they see. This broadens people's vision, and they feel that since there are crops with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, how can there be no crops with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu?
But at that time, in the era when only three stones of rice were harvested per acre of land, you Zheng He mentioned this, could it be that he wanted the Ming Dynasty to continue to waste money and grain to give you to go to the West, and weave a big lie?
Therefore, even if Zheng He took it out at that time, not only would it not be beneficial to go to the West, but it might have strengthened the determination of the Manchu monarchs and ministers to ban the sea.
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, if it weren't for the sweet potatoes and potatoes, and if it weren't for the Fang Qing family, someone would have sent this map to me, and I would probably have doubts about this person's original intention." I don't know how much bitterness there is in the heart of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, and I can't talk about it. He must have known that the matter was irreparable, that this magical seed was no longer available, and in order to break this thought, he deliberately left this map overseas......"
The ministers nodded one after another, feeling reasonable, and many people sighed in their hearts, if they had continued to go to the West, they were afraid that people would not have been worried about food for a long time.
What kind of prosperity will this be?
Pity...... It's a shame.
However, the mistakes of the predecessors must be held accountable by the people of this world, and now should such remorse be left to future generations?
Emperor Hongji's finger pointed at the center of the huge island, and his gaze remained unmoved for a long time.
Over here...... It is the most central location in the Americas, North America.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled with relief: "Fang Qing's family coincides with the Three Treasure Eunuchs, so it can be seen that the rumors of this divine seed are indeed true." The Far West, it was here. ”
He couldn't help but feel relieved.
The vastness of heaven and earth is on this map, and Emperor Hongzhi has no ambitions: "Now, the Ming Dynasty has arrived at the farthest place in the wooden bone bundle, so the next time he goes to the Western Ocean, it is to bypass the Kunlun Continent where the wooden bone bundle is located, and let this place pass, so the land where the god species is located will look at each other across the sea." Since I went to the West again, Xu Qing's family has been a pioneer, so after that, Daming will set sail for the second time, and with the second time, there will be a third and fourth time, until I Daming gets the divine seed, otherwise I will never rest! ”
After he finished speaking solemnly, he shouted with a solemn face: "The prince ......"
He was a little suspicious of this map, and always felt a little weird.
He was distracted, and when he heard the call of Emperor Hongzhi, his face was as frightened as earth, and he hurriedly responded: "Erchen is here." ”
Emperor Hongzhi Zhengse said: "Remember my words, one day, if my body is not completed, after the prince Ke succeeds the unification, this Western exploration must not be interrupted, the regret of the Three Treasures Eunuch has been a lesson from the past, and the descendants will mourn it without learning from it, and it will also make the descendants mourn the future generations!" ”
"The retainers obey."
Emperor Hongzhi's words were a bit serious, Zhu Houzhao naturally responded honestly, he secretly glanced at Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan looked loyal and honest.
A big stone in my heart fell to the ground.
The face of the world can finally be revealed to the world.
The vastness of heaven and earth will shock countless people.
What's more important, this time it is a perfect success, you see, the minister did not deceive Your Majesty, the Three Treasures Eunuchs all said so, the Minister and the Three Treasures Eunuchs coincide, it can be seen that the Minister is an honest person!
If one day, this crop is not found, then it has nothing to do with the minister, there must be something wrong with the way of finding it.
In fact, Fang Jifan has nothing to worry about, even if one day, in five or ten years, the Ming Dynasty arrives in the Americas, but what?
Even if they reach the port, they are still thousands of miles away from the legendary place, and if the Ming people want to go inland, they need to at least establish trade and settlements in the Americas in order to maintain a switch-scale treasure hunting team to go deep into the center of North America, and when they arrive there, it has been proved that the Ming has the ability to open up in the Americas.
There, the fertile land of 10,000 miles is enough to make countless Han people feel like they have entered a treasure.
At that time, Fang Jifan will not worry at all that he may be liquidated, and everyone will only sing the praises of Fang Jifan, opening a new door for the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "Very good, pass on the decree and cause this map, I want all the yamen to hang up this map, and let them know that I will do everything to find the god seed, for generations, until I find it, I will never give up, and let everyone see the size of this world." ”
He sat down, with a happy look on his face: "Xu Qing's family." ”
Xu Jing's mood is actually a little complicated, he knows the inside story best, okay, this is bullying the king.
Fortunately, there was not the slightest expression of shock on his face, and his mentor ...... That's the kind of person who is lawless, does whatever he wants, he ...... I've been used to it for a long time.
"The minister is here."
Emperor Hongzhi said: "You have recovered the treasures of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, and you have worked hard to ......
"Your Majesty." Xu Jing said calmly: "The minister went to sea this time, and what he found back was not only the map of the eunuch of the Three Treasures, but also countless treasures in the world, and he wanted to dedicate it to His Majesty." ”
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but be happy, and said with a little curiosity: "Take a few samples and take a look." ”
So countless treasures were quickly moved, including pearls the size of pebbles, huge ivory, and half-man-tall corals, which were simply overwhelming.
This piece of treasure, a pile of treasures, which one is priceless in Daming.
Even if he is a figure like Emperor Hongzhi, he is also dumbfounded, he is already a person who has seen the world, but in front of such a rare treasure, he is still a little shocked.
"These treasures were brought back by the ministers to give to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live forever."
"Good, good, good!" Emperor Hongzhi stroked his beard happily, and his eyebrows danced.
He is a very stingy person, usually not even willing to eat, now in the face of Xu Jing's 'filial piety', Emperor Hongzhi is happy in his heart, such a rare treasure, Xu Jing actually got it at his fingertips, this Western ...... Sure enough, there are rare things.
Xu Jing then said: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to play!" ”
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Qing family, please speak." ”
"The ministers sailed all the way, comforting the Quartet, and the Western countries all admired His Majesty's kindness, so on the return journey, they sent countless envoys, and envoys from forty-seven countries came with the ministers to pay homage to His Majesty, and they ...... I am willing to be friends with my Ming Dynasty and generations. ”
Forty-seven countries!
Everyone was moved, and everyone's first reaction was that they felt that Xu Jing was lying!
