After the court meeting in the Taihe Palace, Li Hongyu followed the Emperor of the Apocalypse to the Qianqing Palace, which made the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty show envy and jealousy. Nature's Sounds

The only official in the court who has such a harmonious relationship with the Emperor of the Apocalypse is Li Hongyu, and Li Hongyu and the Emperor of the Apocalypse are both ministers and mentors, and other officials are beyond their reach.

Chen Ting also stayed in the palace, Zhu Wanting took her to see the queen and the queen mother, and the queen mother, and people in the capital only recognized Chen Ting as Li Hongyu's woman.

As for Chen Ting's identity as a consolation envoy in Xingang, it has been forgotten by people, and in the eyes of people, the consolation envoy is just a toast title.

Although Chen Ting saw Zhu Wanting for the first time, she already knew from Li Hongyu that Zhu Wanting was "her own person", as for what "her own person" meant, Li Hongyu did not explain, because he didn't know where he and Zhu Wanting could go now, and the only thing that was certain was that Zhu Wanting was the one who stood on his side.

Among all the people in the capital, the person Chen Ting wants to see the most is naturally Zhao Xin, who is full of mystery, if Li Hongyu is the "first genius of the Ming Dynasty", then Zhao Xin is naturally the "first talented woman of the Ming Dynasty", but unfortunately she gave up the red dress for Li Hongyu and was willing to dress up as a man and step into the official career, which made Chen Ting very admirable.

The queen, the queen mother and the empress dowager were very kind to Chen Ting, and rewarded a lot of tributes in the palace, which made Chen Ting flattered, and she naturally knew that this was because of Li Hongyu's relationship.

When Chen Ting accompanied the queen and others in the harem, Li Hongyu told Emperor Tianqi about the course of this overseas trade in the south study of the Qianqing Palace.

When he learned that Li Hongyu almost died in Siam under the gun of Captain Lyman, a British captain hired by Eric, the director of the British East India Company, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but gasp, if something happened to Li Hongyu, it would be more than worth the loss, and he would rather not have the dividends brought by overseas trade.

However, Li Hongyu is really a lucky general, and he actually made a life-saving medicine according to the method he saw from a strange book in the Western Regions when he was a child, and then successfully avoided a catastrophe.

Li Hongyu has now equipped Edward with some manpower, working overtime to make penicillin and make it into pills, so that it is easy to carry.

Although it is not yet possible to tell whether the user is allergic to penicillin, the emergence of penicillin will save the lives of many people, after all, in the case of oral pills, the number of people who are allergic to penicillin and cause death is relatively small, and the vast majority of them are non-allergic.

Because penicillin was designated by Li Hongyu as a military strategic material, and the output of secret production was limited, it could not be popularized on a large scale and was strictly protected as a military material.

"Your Majesty, the naval battles in the Western Hongmaoyi have shocked the ministers, their warships usually have dozens of guns, placed in the gun compartments on both sides of the hull, and a single salvo can severely damage the most elite warships of our army."

Talking about the naval battle in which the Dutch ambushed the Portuguese on the return trip, Li Hongyu bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and solemnly pleaded, "Therefore, the minister implores the emperor to decree that the Customs Department should set up a Western academy to learn Western disciplines and master the skills of the Emperor to control the Emperor!" ”

"Master Yi's long skills to control Yi!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned slightly when he heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said with a solemn expression, "I'm right, you are fully responsible for this matter." ”。

Prior to this, Emperor Tianqi never imagined that the Daming Navy Division would have such a big gap with the navies of Western countries, which seemed to him to be really incredible, you must know that Daming was a dignified Heavenly Empire, and could not be suppressed by the military power of Western Hongmaoyi.

Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse has a hundred reluctances in his heart, as Li Hongyu said, "Master Yi has long skills to control Yi", in order to narrow the gap with the Western world, the establishment of the Western Academy is a very necessary choice.

For Emperor Tianqi, the Ming Dynasty can now be described as internal and external troubles, with internal party strife and Houjin rebellion, and external Western dialect Hongmaoyi, and the court of Nuoda can really share his worries, and the only person who has the ability to solve the trouble is Li Hongyu, and the rest of the people are either keen on power or powerless.

In fact, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not want Li Hongyu to work too hard, Li Hongyu already had a heavy enough burden on his shoulders, and he was worried that Li Hongyu would be unable to bear such heavy pressure one day.

But then again, except for Li Hongyu, no one is suitable for the formation of Western colleges, because the officials of the Ming Dynasty who have studied hard and read the books of sages and sages cannot accept those Western disciplines at all.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to seconded a person from the imperial court to sit in the Western Academy." Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had promised to establish a Western Academy, Li Hongyu bowed down and pleaded.

"Oh?"

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Hongyu to want to transfer people from the imperial court, so he asked with great interest, "Who do you want to transfer?" ”

"The former Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi, Henan Provincial Imperial History Xu Guangqi Xu who is recuperating at home." Li Hongyu replied with a straight face, in his opinion, no one in Daming was more suitable than Xu Guangqi to sit in the Western Academy when he left.

Xu Guangqi, the word first, the name Xuanhu, the Catholic holy name Paul, a native of Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli, and then was admitted to the Shu Jishi.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, Xu Guangqi, who was then the imperial historian of Henan Province and the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, sent a performance to the imperial court, hoping to use the Dutch's Hongyi cannon to help the Ming army in Liaodong defend the city, but the military department objected to this, believing that a few cannons could not change the situation of the war, and it was better to turn the money from buying artillery into military salaries.

Because of the gap with the military department, Xu Guangqi resigned in December of the first year of the Apocalypse and went to Tianjin Wei to recuperate.

Among the many officials of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi was the most proficient in Western disciplines, and believed in Catholicism, was a Catholic, and was the best candidate for the vice president of the Western Academy in Li Hongyu's heart.

"Xu Guangqi?"

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but bow slightly when he heard this, and agreed in one bite, "I will give him a holy decree and let him go to Shanghai County to take up his post." ”

If it weren't for Li Hongyu's mention, Emperor Tianqi really forgot about Xu Guangqi who was idle at home, Xu Guangqi was a master of Western disciplines in the Ming Dynasty, not only had a lot of translations, but also personally conducted farming experiments, Li Hongyu did choose the right person.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hearing this, Li Hongyu solemnly bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and thanked him.

"Scholar, if I'm not mistaken, you're about to lose your crown, what's going on with your family? Did you find that fiancée? The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled slightly when he heard this, and then remembered something, so he asked.

"Back to the emperor, the minister came back this time and received news from the family, the minister's future father-in-law has gone to the minister's house, because he has been doing business in the Western Regions all these years, so he doesn't know what happened in the minister's family."

Li Hongyu had already prepared, bowed to Emperor Tianqi and said in an orderly manner, "The minister hereby asks the emperor to take leave, and asks the emperor to go home and complete the marriage after completing the affairs of the capital." ”

"This is a great event, and I will definitely give you a generous gift then." Hearing this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but have a look of disappointment in his eyes, and then said with a smile.

If Li Hongyu's fiancée does not show up, then the Emperor of the Apocalypse is ready to choose a county lord from the palace to marry Li Hongyu, so that Li Hongyu will become the son-in-law of the royal family.

As for the ancestral system formulated by Ming Taizu that the county lord's honor guests could not engage in politics, Emperor Tianqi could not take care of it now, and it was impossible for him to let Li Hongyu lose his official position and resign, because there was no one to replace Li Hongyu now, he just wanted to closely link Li Hongyu with the imperial family.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Li Hongyu hurriedly bowed down and thanked him when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, in the blink of an eye, he was already four years away from his high school champion, and it was really a flick of time, with a flick of his fingers.

Although he failed to make Li Hongyu a guest of honor, the Emperor of the Apocalypse could be regarded as having a heartfelt matter, thinking that Li Hongyu's dignified Ming assistant ministers had not yet become a family, and people had to worry about whether his back house was safe, after all, the back house needed a hostess, so that Li Hongyu could work with peace of mind.

"Scholar, what are your plans after coming to Beijing this time?" After greeting Li Hongyu, Emperor Apocalypse asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to do in the capital, but he is a little worried about the war situation outside the Guan, so he wants to send an envoy to North Korea immediately, so that North Korea can contain Jiannu in the rear, and I hope the emperor can grant permission." Li Hongyu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then bowed back and said.

"Scholar, you're leaving soon after you arrived in the capital?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Li Hongyu in surprise, looking very surprised.

Li Hongyu is not only the secretary of the Customs Department, but also the auxiliary minister of the Ming Dynasty, and now the first overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty has ended smoothly, so he naturally has to stay in the capital for a period of time to deal with official business.

"Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent, and there is no room for delay." Li Hongyu replied solemnly that the capital is now a powder keg, so he is unwilling to stay here, lest he be implicated and accidentally injured at that time.

"It makes sense." Emperor Tianqi frowned slightly when he heard this, he knew that Li Hongyu was dissatisfied with the Korean army that fled without a fight during the Battle of Sarhu, but he had never had time to take care of beating North Korea.

"Your Majesty, North Korea is now ambiguous with Jiannu, and the minister feels that the king of North Korea is to blame and should be punished to set an example." Seeing the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodding, Li Hongyu said with a serious expression.

"Scholar, North Korea really needs to be beaten, but don't labor our Ming assistants, just send the officials below."

Emperor Tianqi agreed with Li Hongyu's words, if North Korea could flank Houjin with the Liaodong Ming army, then it would greatly alleviate the pressure faced by the Liaodong Ming army, but the envoys who went to Korea according to the custom were all low-level officials or eunuchs, and no high-level officials had ever been sent to Korea, let alone officials at the level of auxiliary ministers.

"Your Majesty, this trip to North Korea is not only to punish the king of Korea who secretly fornicated with Jiannu, but also to explore the reality of Jiannu and arrange the defense line, so it is better to let the minister go in person."

Li Hongyu naturally knew the rules of the imperial court, and said to Emperor Tianqi with a serious expression, "The matter is urgent, and the minister hopes that the emperor can agree." ”

"In this case, you will personally go to North Korea, if North Korea can deal with Jiannu, it will undoubtedly reduce the pressure on the officials and troops in western Liaoning."

Emperor Apocalypse did not insist on his idea, and after listening to Li Hongyu's explanation, he nodded and agreed, and said in a deep voice, "Be careful all the way and return to the capital as soon as possible." ”

"The Lord's Order is grateful." Hearing this, Li Hongyu stood up and solemnly bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he had long expected that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would agree to his request to go to Korea.
