Both the Ministry of Rites and the Cabinet attached great importance to Luzon's envoys, because whether or not the imperial court would eventually agree to Luzon's request, it was a major event that would go down in history.

At that time, Emperor Taizong sent troops to conquer Annan in order to expand the territory, but he worked hard to expand the territory. Although Luzon is not as good as Annan and is on the border of the Ming Dynasty, Luzon's request to be included in the Ming Dynasty did not cost the Ming Dynasty a single soldier, which is the most proud place!

It is not the conquest by force, but the influence of grace, which is the most prominent place! As a cabinet scholar, Yang Ting and them were also very happy in their hearts, because this was the virtue and politics that appeared when they were prime ministers, and the history books will definitely record their merits.

Although everyone in the world knows that Zhang Zhijie has made great contributions, it is also indispensable for the hard work of their cabinet scholars.

Emperor Zhengde ceremoniously received the envoys from Luzon in the Fengtian Palace, and the envoys of Luzon presented the emperor with a "please accept the version of the chart", and the Zhengde Emperor read this dragon face Dayue, but did not immediately agree, but said that he would decide after consulting with the ministers.

On that day, the ministers arrived, the scene was extremely grand, and Zhang Zhijie, as the biggest hero, took a leave! These ministers are rare envoys from Luzon, and Zhang Zhijie is not rare.

Although the Ministry of Rites has already spread the news that Luzon has invited the territory, and it has caused a huge sensation, it has not been officially confirmed after all. Therefore, the ministers only discussed it in private, and now the envoys of Luzon have even put on the "please accept the version of the chart", and the matter has been confirmed.

So the ministers were fried all of a sudden, these days they are just talking about grinding their mouths, and now they immediately turn into action and start writing.

The chapter is like a snowflake, the General Secretary is busy with his feet and does not touch the ground, and the cabinet can't draw up a vote, so they are all sent to the Qianqing Palace.

In the face of so many twists and turns, Emperor Zhengde didn't feel worried for the first time, only to see Emperor Zhengde sitting on the dragon chair energetically, and the dragon case was full of concerts.

It is said that people are in good spirits at happy events, and now Zhang Zhijie has returned to Beijing, and brought back such good news, Emperor Zhengde is full of red light, reading a piece of music with relish, and praises after reading: "This letter is well written!" Wang Baotian, well, very insightful! ”

Zhang Yong has already looked at it on the side, and this chapter is a tribute to virtue, which is why it attracted such praise from Emperor Zhengde. Some of the concertans on this hundred officials agreed, some cited scriptures and classics to oppose them, and some sang praises of virtue!

Only there was no scolding, so Emperor Zhengde looked very comfortable, and especially sang the praises of virtue Emperor Zhengde's sycophants very comfortably.

Therefore, Emperor Zhengde was not angry even when he saw those pieces that were opposed by the book, and the current situation is that there are both those who are against and those who are in favor of the book, and the hundred officials themselves are divided into two camps, so Emperor Zhengde can choose to agree or choose to oppose it.

Of course, Emperor Zhengde must have chosen to agree, just as Zhang Zhijie said, since ancient times, the emperor's cultural and martial arts have been nothing more than expanding the territory, which represents his cultural and martial arts!

The cabinet did not say anything against it, so although the matter has not yet been decreed, it has basically been decided! In fact, a big reason for this is that the imperial court opened the sea, and people are no longer so unfamiliar with overseas, and they no longer feel that overseas is as difficult to reach as a moat.

Zhang Zhijie has actually subtly changed people's thinking, so that the eyes of the Ming people are no longer limited to this land. Since the opening of the sea, the benefits of the opening of the sea have made Shinong industry and commerce taste the sweetness, especially the wealthy giants have made huge profits from it.

Therefore, now that the opening of the sea and trade has become a rolling torrent that conforms to the times, whoever dares to say that the sea is banned again will definitely be attacked by a crowd.

Emperor Zhengde looked at the recital for a while, and felt a little tired, so he leaned and said with a smile: "Luzon came to vote, in fact, the officials and the people are also honored, in fact, it is not the land of Luzon that is valued, speaking of which Luzon is actually very poor, you look at the things they offer, a little shabby!" ”

Zhang Yong said with a smile: "The emperor can't compare them with our Da Ming, their country is small, and it is estimated that they have no production, and they have just been invaded by hundreds of foreigners, and it is estimated that they have no family background." But the envoys of Luzon were very submissive! ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "Actually, I also know, alas, thinking that they were beaten by hundreds of foreigners and almost destroyed the country, I feel incredible!" ”

As he was talking, Zhang Zhijie walked in from the outside and greeted Emperor Zhengde with a smile, and Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "Finally willing to go out?" You took leave that day, and I thought you were beaten and recuperated in bed, but that's not the case! ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "The minister is also a tired journey, the emperor is so happy, what are you talking about?" ”

Zhang Yong said with a smile: "The emperor said that although the Luzon envoys are very deferential, the tribute is shabby!" ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled when he heard this: "I don't miss Luzon's tribute, I just sighed!" ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled when he heard this: "Your Majesty, it's not that they did it on purpose, it's really because their palace has been ransacked by foreigners, and the treasures in the palace are empty!" It was these tributes that the people of Luzon voluntarily put together! Although it is a little shabby, it can better represent the respect of the people of Luzon for the emperor! ”

Emperor Zhengde couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect these tributes to come like this, there is a way to be polite and affectionate!" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "These tributes are indeed a bit shabby, and the ministers of Luzon also felt embarrassed at the beginning, so they decided to select beauties from Luzon to present to the emperor!" ”

Emperor Zhengde listened with interest and said, "Oh, there is such a thing? "Actually, what Emperor Zhengde wants to ask is, what about the selected beauties? Although he doesn't necessarily have to accept it, it's good to look at the beauties in a foreign country.

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Of course there is such a thing, the emperor, don't you know, as soon as this news came out, the entire Luzon was boiling, and the people were vying to offer their unmarried girl Yunying, and they were all looking forward to being selected." In their eyes, it is an unparalleled glory to be able to dedicate their daughter to the emperor as a concubine! ”

Emperor Zhengde was also very happy to hear it, and the scene described by Zhang Zhijie was very spectacular, he didn't expect this to happen. The whole of Luzon is competing to dedicate the unmarried girl to him!

Emperor Zhengde was very interested and said, "What about this chosen beauty?" I want to see what this Luzon beauty looks like? ”

Zhang Zhijie shrugged and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't choose it, and this matter was stopped by the ministers." ”
