Chapter 50

Zhu Di nodded approvingly and said, "Wenle, I have benefited a lot today!" I have been in power for 16 years, and I am quite complacent every time I think of this prosperous Yongle era, but today I feel that there are still so many problems to be solved behind this prosperous world, and I really want to be the emperor for another 20 years The serious problems that need to be dealt with have been solved, but I am relieved in my heart, even if I have these 20 years, I may still do nothing because of the constraints of the court, so what I can't do is left to you to do, and what I can't do is handed over to Zhanji, in short, our monarchs, fathers, sons, grandchildren and grandchildren are of the same heart, Do our best for the long-term national fortune of my Ming Dynasty, the strength of the country and the prosperity of the people, so that my people of the Ming Dynasty will always enjoy this peaceful and prosperous world! ”

Wang Wenle hurriedly saluted and thanked him: "Your Majesty, the minister can have the grace given by the emperor after meeting Taizu and his old man by chance today, the minister was originally a boat man who went to sea under the command of Lord Zheng, and he can have the blessing that this is not possible in several lifetimes, so the minister often admonishes himself to know the grace of the emperor, all of this is given by the Taizu and the emperor, and the minister is just a man who leaves the grace of the Taizu and the emperor, so the minister is just like the prince thinks and thinks, and only is loyal to the emperor and does his best. The ministers can enjoy the glory and wealth, and the ministers abide by the principle of being happy for the contented and blessed for the grateful, and are willing to be like a divine blade in the hands of the Taizu and the emperor, swaying freely and invincible. ”

Zhu Di patted the table, raised his hand and pointed at Wang Wenle and said, "Well said!" I am a promising king, naturally there must be this loyal and promising minister, I can rely on the minister, the minister can rely on the king, if it is not for the kings and ministers to work together, how can we complete this immortal work. Bunraku, you rely on your grandfather and father...... I can sit back and relax, but do my best to do my best, I will ensure that you will be prosperous and rich for generations, from now on, you have to take care of yourself, if you need anything, let Jinyiwei send me a letter, if you have been at sea for a long time, send someone back to report my safety. Speaking of this, Zhu Di's eyes began to redden, and his voice trembled a little......

Wang Wenle said warmly in his heart: "Thank you for the emperor's care, although the kindness of knowing the encounter cannot be repaid." The emperor was asked to keep in mind the treatment prescription given by Taizu and his old man, and that timely treatment can relax the muscles and activate the nerves, eliminate pain, strengthen the muscles and bones, and prolong life. Taizu said that maybe in a few years, maybe more than ten years, everything is chosen by the emperor, and this heavenly way is also. Your Majesty, you must ensure that the dragon body is left, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood. ”

Zhu Di picked up Wang Wenle and said: "I don't want your loyalty, I want you to live for the benefit of Taizu, I, Daming, and the people of the world, this benefit is all on you, which is more important and you have to have a plan in your heart." Okay, let Wang Zhong send you out of the palace, and your official seal will be sent to you through the Jinyi Guard after it is cast in a few days. ”

On the way out of the palace, Wang Zhong gave Wang Wenle a solemn salute and thanksgiving, which startled Wang Wenle and quickly returned the salute. Wang Zhong thanked him for opening up a right path for the eunuchs, and like Zheng He, he could do his part for the Ming Dynasty. Wang Wenle said that eunuchs are looked down upon by everyone, because eunuchs have no roots, they can only rely on the emperor, what the emperor wants to do, whether it is right or wrong, the eunuchs naturally have to do their best to complete, these people are dissatisfied and dare not scold the emperor, they can only scold the eunuchs, this he understands, but in the future, the princes must be cautious in their selection, do not let the people who tend to be inflammatory, and bully others under the banner of the emperor to do illegal things under the banner of the emperor ruined the reputation of the emperor, and at the same time ruined the reputation of the eunuchs. Therefore, the prince must remember that if there are such people among his subordinates, he must not be soft, and he must not hesitate to get rid of these villains, whether he is loyal to the emperor or the eunuch is the most loyal, this business is also to make money for the emperor, and it is very appropriate to hand it over to the prince, so the prince does not have to worry about it. Wang Zhong was very grateful to Wang Wenle for saying this, and never forgot his evaluation and help to the eunuchs in his heart.

After leaving the palace, Wang Wenle went to the Jinyi Guard to command the Yamen to see Shangguan Sai Hazhi, for this time Wang Wenle's visit Sai Hazhi was guessed in advance, so after Wang Zhong came to get the waist card, he was waiting for Wang Wenle to come to visit, after all, he is still nominally Shangguan now. Although Sai Hazhi didn't know the relationship between the emperor and Wang Wenle, but since this person appeared, the emperor's temperament has gradually become gentle, and there has been no tension in the court for a long time. Judging from these phenomena, this person's influence on the emperor is beyond imagination, so Saihazhi very much hopes that Wang Wenle can give him some useful hints or help.

Wang Wenle really lived up to Saihazhi's expectations, when the two were alone together, Wang Wenle openly pointed out Saihazhi's confusion, he told Saihazhi Jinyiwei's current positioning is to balance the relationship between the emperor and the ministers in the court, the emperor's attitude towards the ministers who are complaining has changed, and the basic way is to transfer from important posts to ensure the smooth flow of government decrees, so for this kind of person, if you just send a few words of complaining and scolding a few words of the emperor, let him go, But for another kind of person who jumps up and down and secretly colludes with other ministers, he cannot be allowed to do whatever he wants.

Jin Yiwei's responsibilities and positioning determine that Jin Yiwei will never be able to meet the left and right between the emperor and the minister, no matter how Jin Yiwei pleases the minister is scolded, but the emperor is disappointed in Jin Yiwei, maybe the emperor will start again, don't think that the emperor has no one available, the emperor can reuse the eunuchs, then Jin Yiwei will be reduced to the status of a thug, so Jin Yiwei must first be a party that resolutely supports the emperor, and this kind of soft hand is to cut off Jin Yiwei's own back road, must let them know that the so-called righteousness must have a limit, beyond this bottom line, even if the emperor did not say that Jinyiwei should take the initiative to share the worries for the emperor, get evidence to list his crimes, and mercilessly kill the killer.

In this way, you can not only get the emperor's satisfaction, but also let the ministers know where the emperor's bottom line is, and the two sides are safe and sound, and the purpose of this balance is achieved. But those who form a party for personal gain have already taken action and begun to plot to commit illegal things, so since they have chosen the road of death, then they will be perfected, and they will all be destroyed and eradicated to the root of the trouble.

Sai Ha Zhi praised again and again like a cloud and a fog, since the emperor Xin Zhong took over as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he has always been unable to grasp a degree, because he also thinks that the consequence of the Jinyi Guard's excessive killing is not a good death, so during this period of time the Jin Yiwei did not have any big achievements, the emperor had said to him once before, Sai Hazhi thought that the emperor was already reminding him that the Jinyi Guard was not doing well, and he had been hesitant how to deal with the cases accumulated in his hands, which involved the competition between the various factions in the DPRK and China, and he had a sense of being a rat bogey, Now he has figured it out, in the future, if they fight alone, they will be killed if they form a party to harm the interests of the emperor, and the infighting between them will be lively, and over time, everyone will naturally be safe and sound, and the world will be peaceful.

Wang Wenle sincerely told Sai Hazhi that he was completely on Zhu Di's side, so Jin Yiwei and the eunuch were his natural allies, and no one in this alliance wanted to follow the emperor to the black, Sai Hazhi's current state is mainly to follow his way of doing things in the court, and his thinking has not yet changed, so helping allies is helping himself, as long as everyone is committed to the emperor, this alliance relationship is unbreakable, Therefore, it is necessary for him to remind Saihazhi what attitude Jinyiwei should have to start the cleaning work.

Saihazhi very much agreed with Wang Wenle's ally proposal, and thanked Wang Wenle, a loyal ally, for his timely help.

After Wang Wenle said goodbye, Sai Hazhi classified the files at hand again, and then summoned his subordinates to assign tasks, and soon Beizhen Fu Si Ti rode out to start the arrest operation, and at the same time Sai Hazhi went to the palace to report to Zhu Di the crimes committed by the arrested Qin criminals, and presented all the evidence that has been identified in the mastery, and suggested that the house should be raided and destroyed to set an example.

Now Sai Hazhi completely understood that Wang Wenle's move saved him and Jinyiwei, the emperor had been waiting for this day for a long time, if Zhu Di lost his patience, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In history, Zhu Di did lose patience with Saihazhi and Jinyiwei, and established the East Factory two years later, and Jinyiwei became a thug, and now this situation is as long as Saihazhi satisfies the emperor Although the East Factory was established early, its functions are different from historical facts, and it has become a business network organization that collects wealth for the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Wenle completed the transformation of his identity from Laoshan Taoist priest to Zheng He's partner and then to the envoy of Jingluo, but this is only the beginning and not the end, he has been waiting for fourteen years for this start, but this is nothing compared to the real great voyage pioneers in history. With the support of the king and his subjects, Prince Enrique, although he never went to sea to open a new route in his life, was the founder of the European voyage, just to bypass Cape Bojador, more than a thousand nautical miles from the mainland, he and the explorers prepared for twenty-one years, thus opening the chapter of the voyage......

Wang Wenle slowly closed his eyes and quietly listened to the call of the sea for tens of millions of years, because the sea knew that his dream was with the great voyage, and the turning point of the great voyage of the Ming Dynasty finally moved from the end to a new beginning.
