Yang Xingzhou had heard of this Zhu Houzhao for a long time, and knew that he was a young man who had just succeeded to the emperor, and he was full of spirit, full of energy, and interested in everything, and he didn't know what kind of people he would face in the future, and he didn't have a rational understanding of the group of eunuchs and favored ministers around him.

Seeing that he was interested in his overseas Great Zhou, Yang Xingzhou smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, who said that overseas is barren?" Out to the southeast of the sea, there are islands towering, these islands together, the area is not smaller than the area of the Ming Dynasty, and rich in all kinds of fruits, rice is able to be ripe three times a year, there is no risk of freezing and starvation, in the farther south, there is a large piece of land, more vast than the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are all kinds of creatures, it is very magical. ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up: "Overseas is so interesting? ”

He separated the courtiers around him, approached Yang Xingzhou's side, raised his head and said, "What's so funny?" ”

Yang Xingzhou said with a smile: "Rare birds and beasts, snakes and insects are everywhere, there are boundless wilderness for people to cultivate, and there are mountains and rivers, magnificent and boundless. ”

Speaking of this, he turned around and ordered Yang Bufan, the escort with him: "Come, present the gift I gave to Emperor Zhu!" ”

Yang Bufan bowed down to receive the order, took out a small flag from his arms and waved it, and the people a few miles away from the distance got the order to slowly pull a cartload of rare birds and beasts along with all kinds of fruits in front of Zhu Houzhao.

"Your Majesty, please look!"

Yang Xingzhou pointed his finger and opened the carriage of the cloth one by one: "This is durian, the taste is very strange, but people who like to eat it think it is very delicious, and those who don't like it can't stand it when they smell it, this is the difference between personal physique and taste, but it can't be said that this fruit is not good." Well, here's a lobster, here's a giant turtle, here's a kangaroo, here's a koala, here's a big lizard......"

Zhu Houzhao followed Yang Xingzhou's introduction, his mouth opened wider and wider, his eyes showed a look of curiosity and eagerness, like a child who had found a toy, scratching his ears and cheeks, his heart was itchy and hard to scratch, crossed Yang Xingzhou, carefully reached out and touched an emu in the cage, and exclaimed; "What a big bird!"

Before him, Zheng He had brought a big bird called an ostrich from afar, as well as giraffes, but time had passed, and those ostriches and giraffes had all died, only existing in some albums, Zhu Houzhao liked this strange animal very much, and today he was really excited to see the strange things that Yang Xingzhou brought from overseas.

At this time, he had built a leopard house outside the palace, raising a lot of rare and exotic beasts, but more of them wanted to govern the military and government in the name of the leopard house, he had already had enough of the constraints of the current court officials, and the high walls of the palace could not stop him from a restless heart, and now he saw these rare birds and beasts sent by Yang Xingzhou, and he was more yearning for the outside world.

Seeing a carload of rare birds and beasts passing in front of him one after another, slowly driving into Beijing City, Zhu Houzhao reluctantly twisted his head to Yang Xingzhou: "Brother Yang, let's go into the palace and talk, don't let these princes and ministers wait!" ”

Yang Xingzhou glanced at these ministers beside Zhu Houzhao, smiled hehe, and said, "These princes and ministers, Brother Zhu should not expect too much." ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You're right, these people really can't be counted on, they think of ways to deal with me one by one, but they don't think about sharing worries for the country and the people." Let's go, just by your words, I will get drunk with you! ”

After hearing this, the civil and military officials next to him changed color.

Throughout the ages, I am afraid that such a barbarian emperor as Zhu Houzhao would evaluate his courtiers like this to outsiders, and the rest of the emperors are dissatisfied with the courtiers, and they will not say such complaints to overseas emperors.

However, after Zhu Houzhao became the emperor, he began to work against the civil and military officials, and he was very disobedient, and he didn't do anything when several cabinet elders asked him to do anything, which made the government fall into a state of chaos for a while, which made the civil and military officials angry, especially Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, who was extremely dissatisfied with Zhu Houzhao.

Now hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, he said sharply: "Your Majesty, since King Yang has arrived, please ask Your Majesty to drive back to the palace to pick up the wind and wash the dust for King Yang!" ”

A eunuch beside Zhu Houzhao glanced at Yang Tinghe, and said with pity: "Lord Yang, what kind of system are you shouting in front of King Yang in front of Your Majesty?" Do you still want to do the following? ”

"You ......"

Yang Tinghe waved his long sleeves, didn't bother to pay attention to this eunuch, and said, "Please also drive back to the palace!" ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said to Yang Xingzhou: "Brother Yang, let's enter the city together." ”

At the moment, he made a big fuss, passed through the gate, entered the imperial city, arranged a number of personnel in the guest house, and the ceremonial officer came to teach the etiquette of the courtiers of the Great Zhou State in the Ming Dynasty, and Yang Xingzhou himself entered the palace after a little rest and participated in the feast.

Yang Xingzhou, as the emperor of the Great Zhou, is not trivial, everyone knows that the Great Zhou is now strong and strong, not only famous overseas, but also the northern land of the Ming Dynasty, with many elite soldiers and generals, and the prosperity of the national strength, which can almost catch up with the momentum of the Mengyuan Empire in the past.

This kind of emperor came to visit the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to take it lightly, although they all knew that Yang Xingzhou's martial arts were world-beating, almost invincible in the world, but still equipped Yang Xingzhou with a lot of soldiers and horses to protect him, once he traveled, it was to sound the gong to open the way, and thousands of soldiers patrolled the Quartet, for fear that something uncontrollable would happen.

After arriving at the palace, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty and Yang Xingzhou greeted each other, and at this time, Mao Fengyi, a courtier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, submitted his credentials and said to Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde: "Your Majesty, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, I have maintained the orthodoxy of my Central Plains, although I am over thirty years old, I have never married a wife and had children. This time, I thought about intermarrying with Daming and cultivating the good of the two families forever. ”

He said to Zhu Houzhao: "My Great Zhou has a vast territory, far better than the Central Plains, countless elite soldiers, thousands of good generals, and the strength of the country is not inferior to the Central Plains. ”

The hall was filled with a bang.

Although Yang Xingzhou had passed the gas with the Ming Emperor before he came, but since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he has never married with a foreign country, does not get along, does not pay compensation, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in Sheji, which is really backbone.

After all, if you talk about the righteousness of the country, for thousands of years, it is none other than the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming people have their own pride.

Princess Daming has never been married far away, that is, the daughter of a courtier, and rarely marries, and now Yang Xingzhou is courting Daming, everyone is a little undecided.

But what is the identity of the Great Zhou Emperor? If you rashly refuse, I am afraid that you will really offend this person, but if you really agree to his proposal, then you can't act vaguely, it is impossible to find a palace maid to pretend to be a princess to marry Yang Xingzhou, that is to really find a woman from the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty to marry, and the identity cannot be too low, too low, it is estimated that Yang Xingzhou is not happy.

In the past few days, the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty have been a little worried about this matter, and finally made a decision, first see what sincerity Yang Xingzhou can express, but I didn't expect Mao Fengyi to open his mouth to divide the whole world with the Ming Dynasty, and everyone felt ridiculous.

Shoufu Yang Tinghe got up and said with a smile: "Brother Mao's words are wrong, this world is so big, how can you and I divide it up?" Besides, my Ming Dynasty has always paid attention to the inner and outer kings, and I have never made wars with people for no reason, and the word carve up, where to start? ”

Mao Fengyi sneered: "Although the world is big, there is actually a limit, the words of the inner saint and the outer king, you may not believe it, let alone fool me!" ”

He opened a large box beside him, took out a huge map from it, called the palace guards, hung the map in the middle of the hall, and said with a smile: "In the past, my Central Plains Dynasty laughed at the small country of Yelang, saying that they were arrogant, but now they have become Yelang country without knowing it. Everyone, please see! ”

He took out a thin wooden stick and stood in front of the map, pointed to an area on the map with the stick, and slowly drew a circle: "The blue color marked here is the territory of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Then he moved the stick diagonally downward: "This is the seaside, the many islands by the sea and a piece of land in the south are the territory of my Great Zhou, well, the north is Tatar, and now it has been destroyed by my Great Zhou, and the Goryeo Kingdom is in the northeast, and it has also been included in the Great Zhou." ”

He took the wooden stick in his hand and pointed at the map, and kept paddling: "Further north, there is the Tsarist Russian Empire, there is the Great Food Country, and further north, there is the country of Obe, these countries are strong and weak, and the territory is far greater than you can imagine......

After this map was just hung, it attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, the Ming Dynasty itself also has a map of the country, but it is not fine enough, but the general outline of the territory is still there, many ministers in the hall have watched the map of the Ming Dynasty, it is to see the map of Mao Fengyi hanging, there are sharp eyes to see the familiar territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, I originally thought that the territory of the Ming Dynasty was very vast and vast, but in the huge map hung by Mao Fengyi, it was not very huge, especially compared with the territory of the Great Zhou marked in red, it was less than forty percent of the others!

At this time, I knew the size of the overseas and the vastness of the territory outside, and the Ming Dynasty thought that it was the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, but in fact it was nothing more than that.

The hall was quiet for a long time, and a minister said, "Is this map true or false?" Is there such a large piece of land outside the territory? I don't believe it! ”

Mao Fengyi sneered: "Do you really not believe it, or do you not believe it in your mouth?" ”

The minister was stunned for a moment, and it was difficult to answer for a while.

Everyone knows that since Da Zhou dares to hang this map, the possibility of fraud is very small, but looking at such a large territory on this map belongs to Da Zhou, and the territory of Da Zhou actually wraps Da Ming in its entirety, who is no god, there will be a tremor in my heart, and the first thought is not to believe it.

But the subconscious is already believing, otherwise he would not be so frightened.

It turns out that this big week is so powerful!
