The British farmer Garcy has now developed the habit of bowing to the portrait of Emperor Zhu Houzhao every morning and evening.

Nowadays, in England, many farmers have begun to enshrine portraits of Zhu Houzhao in their homes.

Slightly wealthier peasant families even built churches dedicated to Zhu Houzhao's portrait.

After all, Zhu Houzhao is now a god in their eyes, a real God, a god who brings them wealth and status.

Thomas and Roger added to the new doctrine that Emperor Zhu Houzhao and King Zhu Zaiyuan were members of the Holy Family.

Absolute loyalty to the Emperor Zhu Houzhao has become the most correct value among the people of England at this time, and it is the only way for them to repay the love of the Emperor.

"The Emperor is here, pay homage to the Emperor!"

As soon as Zhu Houzhao appeared in the city of London, it attracted the worship of countless Londoners.

"Let me meet the Emperor, I want to see the Emperor!"

"The Emperor Taishang, his old man's appearance is really like a god, his smile is kind and kind!"

The people talked about Zhu Houzhao's content, and Zhu Houzhao's gesture attracted everyone's cheers.

"O good and pious people of England, I am glad that you are so loyal, and I hope that you will continue to be faithful, and continue to love and warm this world with my expectations, and I will grant you happiness!

But I also punish sin and bullying! The invasion of England by Scotland and France is sinful and needs to be punished, and they are unwilling to revere me and believe in me, which is the root of their ignorance and barbarism, and now I want you to fight back against them, to save them, to let them say goodbye to ignorance and barbarism! ”

Zhu Houzhao's purpose is to turn the whole of Great Britain into an agrarian civilization, so he will not let go of Scotland.

Now that England has completed its transformation from a maritime trading country to a land-based small-scale peasant economy, its more centralized central court and more farmland-dependent economic model naturally make England now in dire need of expansion.

It can be said that at this time, England was the same as when the Qin and Han dynasties were first established, the smaller population and the development of agricultural production technology made its agricultural production surplus, and the excess agricultural output will naturally be transformed into treasury income, and the treasury income is more grain.

This is the demand of the upper and lower classes of the people in England today, not to mention, there is also the emotional factor of the invasion of England by Scotland and France.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's criticism of Scotland and France naturally resonated with all the English people, who hoped that the Kingdom of England would send troops to punish Scotland and France.

Zhu Houzhao can be said to be still following the trend, never going against the wishes of the English peasants, and now, he is still complying with the wishes of the English people, and promoting England to eliminate its own bourgeoisie and then the Scottish bourgeoisie, until the whole of Great Britain becomes a closed agricultural country.

Of course, France in the south is no exception, and Zhu Houzhao doesn't know how his second prince Zhu Zaiwei is now fighting against France.

But Zhu Houzhao believes that with the current strength of the Ming Empire, even his own vassal state can fight France to cut the city and pay reparations, not to mention, England under his own guidance, secretly has the intention of revenge against France.

Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, Zhu Houzhao has been in England for three years.

On this day, the first good news of England's invasion of Scotland reached the royal palace, and less than three months after Zhu Houzhao lived in the new Buckingham Palace, Zhu Houzhao set off to return to China.

On the day when Zhu Houzhao left England, nearly a million people gathered in England to send him off, and tears almost flooded the city of London, Zhu Houzhao was also very emotional, thinking that he would block the road of capitalism in England, but on the contrary, he won the love of the entire English people.

This made Zhu Houzhao very embarrassed, thinking that maybe even if someone told these people the truth now, these people would not think that the emperor from the east had harmed them, maybe only he thought that he had bad intentions in doing so, maybe people wanted to live in a world of cultivation and study, not a world full of utilitarianism and exploitation.

Zhu Houzhao went directly to the capital after returning to the Ming Dynasty.

In Zhu Houzhao's memory, he has not returned to Beijing for five years.

Naturally, the entire capital has undergone changes that he couldn't imagine.

The research of electricity at the Daming Academy of Sciences has made rapid progress, and the tram has been opened from Yongding Gate in the capital to Daming Gate, but Zhu Houzhao did not take the tram, but took the diesel locomotive into the city.

"Da Sikong is also worried that the emperor is not used to sitting in this car, after all, how can there be a coachman sitting in front of you, but several academicians of the Academy of Engineering who invented the diesel locomotive just can't think of a way to let the driver operate the steering wheel behind to drive the car, so I can only ask the emperor first, but I didn't expect the emperor to mind! Now, the old slave is still in front of this, and the old slave really doesn't dare to make a mistake. ”

Chen Hong, the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, was specially responsible for picking up Zhu Houzhao's inner court, and at this time, he also had Zhu Houzhao's permission, sitting in the co-pilot, and explaining to Zhu Houzhao the changes in the capital over the years.

The crown prince Zhu Yibang sat next to Zhu Houzhao, and when he saw Chen Hong say this, he only smiled and said: "Old thing, now everyone in the world advocates equality for all, and there are still old slaves, the emperor has put forward the idea that the people are born equal with great foresight when he ascended the throne, and now it is just the back of the seat, is it possible that you still think that the emperor will care." ”

Zhu Yibang couldn't help but look at Zhu Houzhao as he spoke: "Grandpa Huang, I don't know if my grandson is right about your thoughts." ”

"Yes, yes, very right, the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the feudal country, here, there is no distinction between high and low, at the beginning, when I engaged in national education, I expected that there would be such a day, the world has become a scholar, naturally no one wants to be a person, maybe the profession is different, there is a difference between wealth and wealth, but the same Ming people, should be like a family!"

Zhu Houzhao looked out the car window as he spoke, and there were Tianzu girls on the widened asphalt road, all kinds of people stopped or continued to walk with the red and green signs in the hands of the traffic warden, and there were many more clothing and clothing shops on the streets, and even the so-called models, as well as his own measures that did not prohibit the people from traveling when he entered the city, seemed to tell him that the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty was really very different from sixty years ago, and there seemed to be no hierarchy and no Cheng Zhu Lixue.

"Warm welcome!"

"Warm welcome!"

"Warm welcome!"

……

The crowd outside the car window began to make chaotic noises, but the powerful officials who were in charge of picking up and dropping off Zhu Houzhao were not as panicked as if they were facing a great enemy, and the crown prince Zhu Yibang even laughed: "Although the imperial grandfather has not returned to Beijing for so many years, the old and young masters in the capital still remember you." ”

Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, and secretly thought in his heart that if this had been put aside decades ago, and a top-level royal family like himself returned to Beijing, if someone dared to make such a noise, he would have been caught and imprisoned by Jinyiwei, no matter what he had to do first, and then he would say that now it seems that there is indeed a lot less distrust and estrangement between the government and the people.

When he was thinking wildly, Zhu Houzhao saw a banner suddenly fall out of the street on the left, on which was a row of large simplified characters that had emerged after Zhengde's 20 years of arrangement and promotion.

The content in large simplified Chinese is "Mr. Zhu Houzhao, hello! Welcome home! ”

Is it a big rebellion?

Is it rebellious?

Zhu Houzhao didn't feel these photos, he just felt kind, and couldn't help touching his long beard under his chin: "I can't imagine that I will be worthy of the title of old gentleman one day!" ”

Zhu Houzhao opened the window and waved the long sleeves of the purple Hanfu embroidered with dragon patterns.

The whole street was full of joy and cheering, and some of the old men, who were also seventy or eighty, were secretly wiping away tears, and still couldn't help but bend down and kneel and kowtow, but the young scholars no longer knew what they were kneeling for, so they only jumped up and cheered.

Zhu Houzhao felt very glad about this, very glad that he did not insist on being the largest slave owner in the empire, otherwise, he thought that even if he could see the young man kneeling down to worship him at this moment, he was afraid that he would not be able to hear this heartfelt cheer.

When Zhu Houzhao returned to Beijing, a grand parade was held throughout the capital, and millions of Han people of all walks of life celebrated his return to Beijing in various ways, and even merchants put up advertisements for three consecutive days with a 5% discount to celebrate the return of the Emperor Taishang.

"I should have come back early, after all, the people in the capital, not only you, but so many lovely people!"

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, he would rather cross the ocean and take great pains to completely transform England than return to Beijing, but he simply didn't want to intensify the conflict with his emperor's son, but what he didn't expect was that in the capital of the empire, there were actually people who really missed him, and there were many, many of them.

The car stopped in front of the Royal West Garden, and it was only here that Zhu Houzhao met the core personnel of the current leadership of the Ming Empire.

Perhaps under the influence of the new ideas of the new era, Zhu Houzhao found that the system of parliamentary ministers he had established had changed.

Because, he found that his emperor's son, who was older than himself, actually stood in a row with these ministers wearing beams and jade belts to welcome him, the most respectable old man in the empire, back to Beijing, but his emperor's son stood in the middle.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at these top-level officials and found that on the left and right of his son Zhu Zailei were Xu Jie and Yang Bo, then Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong, Tan Lun and Zhang Han.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but ask Zhu Zailei: "What about Gongzhen, Fenyi, and Zhifu?" ”

"Back to my father, all the princes you asked have become ancient", Zhu Zailei personally answered Zhu Houzhao, his eyes showed a gloomy color, he was not good at talking about what kind of struggle had occurred between himself and Xia Yan, and it was not easy to say that he finally began to ask the vassal states to pay money to the Ming Central Empire by removing Xia Yan and using Yan Song's advice to the vassal states and not repaying the loans, and naturally did not mention the many naval battles between the Ming Central Empire and the vassals.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to ask more about political matters, so he only sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't meet each other, but fortunately, I have a lot of talents, these people who wear python clothes, I also know, you can be regarded as able to use people, but you have to remember that between these countries, who is close and who is sparse, you still have to consider the similarities and differences between civilizations." ”

Zhu Houzhao said this to naturally remind Zhu Zailei that although Zhu Zailei did not take the initiative to mention the military and political affairs of the Ming Central Empire in recent years, he had also heard of some important events, and knew that the Ming Central Empire had several wars with some noble vassal states over the years.

Zhu Houzhao This kind of thing is unavoidable, after all, the resources of the earth are constant, and if the Central Empire of the Ming Dynasty wants to be richer, it is inevitable to deprive other countries of their interests, but Zhu Houzhao does not want infighting and friction to occur earlier with the countries in the Chinese cultural circle.

"After all, there are still some barbarians in the Western Regions and the north who are different from us have not been destroyed, and the Ming Central Empire itself occupies the most interests and wealth, so it is obliged to maintain and expand our own civilization! I went to England this time to help your forty brother transform it, the effect is still obvious, you can study and study it, and in the future, the Ming Central Empire will have to do this, I decided to give you the military power of the Marine Corps first, and you will be responsible for using this army to fight against the forces of the non-Chinese cultural circle! ”

Hearing that Zhu Houzhao wanted to return part of the military power to himself, Zhu Zailei was naturally happy, and hurriedly said: "Obey my father's instructions!" Knowing that his father likes Japanese girls, his son has already ordered someone to go to the Japanese country to find General Ashikaga Yoshiki and ask for a hundred, and now he is in the Royal West Garden, and his father can use it wholeheartedly. ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and laughed: "Do you expect my father to die of exhaustion sooner!" I don't know what you're doing with the shoguns of the Wa Kingdom, but I must get them! ”

Zhu Houzhao said and impatiently entered the Royal West Garden.

I can't sleep well for 100 days.

In the depths of winter, Zhu Houzhao, who was overly tired, got sick again, fortunately Daming's medical technology has improved a lot, such as the discovery of antibiotics, and because he had a good foundation when he was young, and he has been in a good mood in recent years, the skills in the room have to be properly guided by a special person, and he has also improved after the first month.

People say that Lao Jian is hot in spring and autumn, but Zhu Houzhao is getting more and more healthy, so far he can still walk 10,000 steps a day, and Chen Hong sent someone to teach him to learn to drive a new Daming car.

However, just when Zhu Houzhao was full of energy, the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty reported to him a piece of news about the assassination of the Japanese shogun Ashikaga Yoshiki, which made Zhu Houzhao very happy, because it meant that the Wa Kingdom would fall into the Wa Rebellion again, and this was undoubtedly the best time for the Ming Dynasty to destroy the Wa State.

Otherwise, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified the Wa Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty would pay a greater price for destroying the Wa Kingdom.

But now he is no longer the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although he has military power in hand, but this kind of war to destroy the country naturally involves more than just the military, so as the Emperor Taishang, Zhu Houzhao has to find a way to let his emperor's son promise to start the war of exterminating the country against the Japanese as soon as possible.
