PS: Thank you for the friendly help of @青梅竹马小X classmates in this chapter!

Hubu Hanshangshu Dai Ming said that this discussion of Zheng Zhilong, the king of Tong'an, was full of confidence, conclusive, and in-depth, accurate and thorough, which attracted enough attention from everyone, but did not get any response for a long time, everyone was silent and worried, which made Dai Shangshu become a little discouraged.

But Deming, who "grabbed the words and inserted them", said that he did everything that Hongyi wanted to express on his behalf in a real and unmistakable manner, which really made little Belle overjoyed, and finally understood the intention of the people staring at him just now! If it had been put on others, Hongyi would have praised it a long time ago and resolutely seconded it, and then on this basis, he would have used his strengths and avoided weaknesses for my use, and strived to form a resolution of the meeting. But this is what Deming said about Master Dai, a person with a strong sense of utilitarianism. If Hongyi turns out to be stubborn, he will definitely steal the limelight, so he can't do this, otherwise how can he show the great credit of others? Let's wait for the emperor's attitude, and leave a little time to praise Fu Linqin.

Emperor Fulin also understood the gist of what Deming said: Zheng Zhilong, the king of Tong'an, is good at perceiving the contradictions and entanglements of interests between the Yi, and can make profits from them, and is even better at "using the Yi to defeat the Yi", and can use him to "arm trade" on the sea without fail! It was even more reminded by Kadahun that the emperor remembered the atrocities of the Franc machine musketeers who helped Nanming to "help the abuse", and if Zheng Zhilong really did what Deming said, he led the Qing warships across the sea, spread the prestige of the country, and punished the red hairs well, it would also be a very happy thing. It's just that since it has been decided to march north from the speed to conquer the Rakshasas, and then mobilize the army on the sea. It seems a little too busy......

John Tang is in a dilemma: Zheng Zhilong's going to sea again is tantamount to a fish jumping into a deep pool and a dragon diving into the sea, which is a great blow to the Netherlands, and it is definitely not a good thing for Portugal, the back-the-scenes financier of his missionary career! But as a priest, if he wants to broadcast the gospel of the Lord more in this ancient and prosperous land, he must rely on the support and trust of the authorities. What's more, the messenger of God, the little prince Xuan Ye, seemed to have just sensed his partiality towards the Portuguese, and clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with his rejection of the Dutch...... I really can't make up my mind for a while.

The Manchus did not have much resistance in this matter: even if Zheng Zhilong set sail again, there were very few Manchus in his fleet. As long as the emperor left enough Manchuria and Mongol shortages among the generals of Zheng's fleet. It doesn't matter. Take 10,000 steps back, no matter how strong Shili is on the sea, he will still go ashore after all, as long as the Eight Banners of Manmeng maintain his combat strength. Forgive him, Zheng Zhilong didn't dare to move his heart repeatedly!

Hanchen is playing with each other:

Li Jiqi had already stayed away from the Qing court. Now it's just getting by and eating together. Hearing that these people moved Zheng Zhilong's thoughts, it felt like "the same people who have fallen from the end of the world", and they have all become people's flags and house slaves after all. At the mercy of others, what can the husband say?

Liu Chang participated in the impeachment of Hu Shi'an and Deming in succession, thinking that now he should be regarded as half of the imperial history in the eyes of the emperor, and the impression of "the party is the same and the different" should be diluted a lot in the early days. But if you continue to "dog eat dog", I'm afraid it's a bit too much, don't be self-defeating. Besides, in private, those Han people who are ministers of the same dynasty cannot be taken lightly, and it is better to restrain one or two for the time being.

Wei Zhouzuo has been playing the role of a jishu talent in the professional field, and he is also seeking to live a safe life. For the "big things" of whether to go to the sea or not, and who to go to the sea, I have an attitude of not mixing and not rejecting: you are good for yourself, and I will protect myself!

There was only one Hu Shi'an left, and it just so happened that only this Han Shangshu, who was over sixty years old, was unimpressed by what Deming said, and even quite disgusted. But he has just been impeached by Liu Chang for dereliction of duty, and now it is not good to rashly speak out without the emperor asking for advice.

"Your Majesty, the retribution of the courtier's decree has been completed, and I will listen to the hadith!" Deming, who is not willing to be lonely, said that he took the initiative to remind Fulin and strongly asked for "like"!

"Hehe, you have some point. If Wang Guo of Tong'an is as you say, he is good at vertical and horizontal, maneuvering around all the razes, and can use the razors to control the razors and attack decisively, he is indeed a talent of the Qing Dynasty. Fu Lin had to say something affirmative, and Deming said that he was immediately overjoyed.

"It's just that let him lead the people to the sea and trade with the Japanese country...... The stakes are big and need to be discussed in detail! Xuan Ye, you just said that you have to think about it thoroughly! Fu Lin didn't seem to want to hurt the face of this good-looking person, so he picked up Hongyi and said something.

"Huang Ama taught a lesson! Xuan Ye remember! Erchen is willing to listen to your discussions on this matter and devote yourself to learning! Hongyi didn't want a powerful naval fleet to be stillborn, and deliberately wanted to "softly add" a meeting agenda.

Before Fulin could say anything, there was a tight drum sound of "knock, knock, knock" outside the hall, but Hongyi heard a similar burst in his heart: It's unfortunate! The bell and drum tower has beaten the drum, and after the rapid eighteen "rapid drums", it will inevitably be the slow eighteen "slow drums", indicating that the time has come to "rest at sunset". Is it going to be dissolved?

"Master, it's already time." Wu Liangfu, the chief eunuch standing behind, heard the sound of drums, cautiously walked to the emperor's side, and reminded him.

Hongyi was a little lost, and unconsciously thought of taking out his anger at this old eunuch, so he stared at him with a look of displeasure. Wu Liangfu seemed to be aware of it, but nodded slightly at the master!

In fact, it's no wonder that Wu Liangfu is responsible.

Today's pre-imperial meeting, from the afternoon to the unitary hour, held for more than an hour, two hours of everyone did not drip, there are many topics, can be described as efficient. However, according to the regulations of the Forbidden City's dormitory system, it is night when it comes to the unitary hour, and the four gates of the palace must be closed tightly, and they cannot be opened without special circumstances. If the meeting continues in this Yugong Palace, these dozen ministers will go home tonight!

"Oh, it's time to do it, I'm working hard at this time, and all of you Aiqing are tired!" Fu Lin stood up, stretched out his arms and stretched out, and the ministers below also quickly and quietly moved their sore limbs.

"Master, the servant has just asked the imperial dining room to prepare refreshments. Do you want to take a break? Wu Liangfu reminded in time.

Old eunuch, are you really shrewd, preparing refreshments? That's a late-night supper[1]! That is, it is possible to continue the meeting? Don't worry about nodding at me! That old eunuch means to reassure me! haha！ ——Hongyi understands that Wu Liangfu, who has cleaned up and obeyed, is indeed a good hand at scheduling affairs!

"Okay, it's spread to the palace, and a table has been set up for all of you, and we'll discuss it after eating! You say that, I'm really hungry! Guys, are you all hungry? Fu Lin walked down the imperial stairs with great concern. came to the crowd. Hongyi and Tang Ruowang could only hurriedly follow.

"Minions are not hungry. The emperor worked hard! "It's naturally Guo Ke who is rushing to tie the knot.

"Oh, there's more. Wu Liangfu, you go to Jingyunmen to find the Minister of Guards on duty today, and ask them to send the Hefu here. After the meeting, it is also possible to let all Aiqing leave the palace smoothly. Other than that. Arrange for someone to notify the servants of the various prefectures waiting outside the palace. Let them go back and spread the word first, so that your families don't think about what happened to you. Hehe. Fu Lin stood in the middle of the people who bowed their heads, holding their heads high and their instruments high, but they assigned a very humane task to Wu Liangfu.

"Huh!" Wu Liangfu came out in response.

"Slave (minister) thank the lord Longen!" Everyone threw down their horseshoe sleeves at the first time and knelt down to praise the emperor's compassion!

"Get up, let's talk while eating, come, all sit!" Seeing a group of eunuchs bring a few tables and chairs to arrange for parking, and a group of palace maids bringing all kinds of pastries and drinks to be placed properly, Fu Lin turned around and walked back to the throne, and the imperial cases in front of him were already dazzling.

This time, Hongyi couldn't go back to the top of the imperial ladder to eat and drink, but together with Tang Ruowang, he sat down at five or six Eight Immortal Tables with several Jueluo lords and old qualifications. Of course, the north side must be empty, and you can't put your back at the emperor and eat and drink yourself.

Hongyi and Tang Ruowang sat at a table alone, a son and a grandfather, who were more expensive than Jueluo and slaves, and were arranged under the royal stairs and in the position closest to Fulin. Wu Liangfu, who is very attentive, is indeed extraordinary, and prepared a bowl of warm human milk for Xiao Xuanye alone, and served a glass of expensive wine to Lao Marfa.

It is said to be a "dim sum", but it is not just pastries such as shaqima. Manchurian people like to eat wine and meat, and "supper" is naturally indispensable for some beef and mutton and liquor. After a while, most of the tables full of people were already warm, pushing cups and changing lamps and feasting.

The Han tables on the periphery are much quieter, everyone is sitting upright, covering their faces with one hand and holding objects in the other, gently biting down on the dim sum, chewing slowly, and then taking a sip of wine, with a generous demeanor, not moving the meat attached to the big skeleton at all. Occasionally, Manchurian officials came over to greet and toast, but they only humbly agreed and coped with the matter. For the "roughness" of the Manchus, most of the Hanchen were despised in their hearts, and the Manchus were also haha laughing at Hanchen's "restraint" and did not care.

Hongyi observed the eating appearance of the Manchu and Han ministers with great interest, and felt more and more that the differences between Manchu and Han culture are so obvious in a small "food", and there is a long way to go to unify and create a new and inclusive Manchu and Han culture!

In fact, although the war in the early days of the Qing Dynasty was still in the early days, it attached great importance to cultural relics and music, which was prominently manifested in the "Shangkong Chongli":

As early as the period of Emperor Taiji outside the Guanwai, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had already adopted an attitude of recognition of Confucianism, and on June 16 (1644), just over a month after entering the customs, he sent people to worship the ancestor Confucius. In October, Kong Yunzhi, the 65th grandson of Confucius, was officially enthroned as the "Yan Shenggong", and he was also the crown prince and the prince according to the Ming Dynasty. In the first month of the second year of Shunzhi (1645), Confucius was given the new title of "Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan Pioneer". As a result, Confucius became the "Holy Teacher" of the Manchu Dynasty.

For court meetings, ceremonies, and the reception of envoys and other "court ceremonies", the Qing family also attaches great importance to it, almost completely copying the etiquette of the former Ming Dynasty, and has detailed provisions on all regulatory processes, which can not be said to be unimportant. However, in some details, it inevitably added its own things, so that those solemn court activities were mixed with distinctive "Manchurian characteristics", especially the banquet activities with "wine venues", which became "informal and enthusiastic"!

In the historical documents and historical materials compiled after the successive Korean envoys visited the Qing Emperor, such as "Yan Xing Tu Ji" and "Yan Xing Lu", we can understand this situation: "Its banquet is also not wine, it is not allowed to drink, it is in and out at first glance, left and right, and there is no discipline, it is similar to the Huadan Deed Society, and the cattle and sheep bones are piled up in the temple." In their opinion, the bones of cattle and sheep are piled up on the magnificent palace, and the ministers and bureaucrats are all gluttonous, which is really unseemly. They often sigh that "it's a pity that the artifact is mistakenly returned to Tianjiao", and they only have "imagination" and "futile regret" for the cultural relics of the Ming Dynasty.

Since even the state banquet has to "eat meat in large pieces and drink wine in large bowls", advocating liveliness and staggering, a "small" supper is even more "rude, and the cups and plates are messy"!

"Wu Liangfu, Xuan Ye is young, don't be greedy for beef. I gave him a lotus seed soup that I had to say. "Fu Lin sat on it and cared for his son, showing his fatherly care.

"Erchen thank the Emperor Ama for his holy grace!"

When Hongyi heard this, he suddenly hurriedly straightened his face, bowed his head and bowed - haha, this opportunity is really good, even better!

[1] Midnight snack (also known as supper, supper) refers to a meal eaten in the evening, which is a meal after dinner. The Song people's "Dream Lianglu" contains: "On Chinese New Year's Eve, the Neisi (Internal Affairs Office) Meaning Bureau (palace organization) entered the night fruit box, and the box was clustered (gathered) all kinds of fine fruits: seasonal fruit, candied fruit, sugar fruit and other products. "Eliminate the night" is also known as "supper", and this name has been known since ancient times. (To be continued......)
