Stretching out his hand and grabbing it, the small and delicate altar fell into Zhu Houzhao's hand, gently rubbing the altar, Zhu Houzhao slowly said: "Wang Zheng, please Shao Zhenren come to see me!" ”

Wang Zheng, who was guarding outside the secret room, heard the voice of the Son of Heaven and immediately saluted the secret room: "Slave maid, send someone to invite Shao Zhenren to come!" ”

Just as Wang Zheng instructed his chamberlains, Zhu Houzhao paused slightly and said, "Don't forget to invite Zhang Tianshi to come with you!" ”

Qingyang view

Shao Yuanjie is entertaining a person, and if someone sees it, I'm afraid he will be very surprised.

Yang Yiqing, as the first and auxiliary minister of the dynasty, rarely met in private, but today he appeared in the Taoist temple where Shao Yuanjie stayed.

The two sat opposite each other, and they heard Yang Yiqing say to Shao Yuanjie: "Shao Zhenren, the number of times Your Majesty has been to the court has decreased significantly recently, but more time is with Shao Zhenren and Zhang Tianshi. ”

Shao Yuanjie really didn't think it was strange for Yang Yiqing to visit, if the cabinet elders didn't react to the changes in the Son of Heaven, it would be a strange thing.

Shao Yuanjie smiled bitterly, shook his head, looked at Yang Yiqing and said, "Lord Yang is only afraid that he thinks that the poor Dao bewitches His Majesty and ignores the government......

Yang Yiqing shook his head and said: "Where does the real person say, this official definitely doesn't mean that!" ”

Shao Yuanjie didn't say anything, just looked at Yang Yiqing with a straight expression and said: "If Poor Dao said that he persuaded His Majesty to put the world first more than once, would Lord Shoufu believe it?" ”

Looking at Shao Yuanjie silently, Yang Yiqing slowly got up, straightened his clothes, took a step back, and then slowly bowed to Shao Yuanjie: "Please also ask the real person to guide Your Majesty out of the wrong way, everything is important to the community!" ”

A dodge to avoid Yang Yiqing's big gift, Shao Yuanjie Chang announced the immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, and said solemnly: "Poor Dao assures your lord with a lifetime of reputation that no one will be allowed to bewitch Your Majesty." ”

A Taoist boy hurriedly came, and said crisply from afar: "Real person, real person, Your Majesty summons!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Yiqing looked at Dao Tong, a sharp color flashed in his eyes, only startling the little Dao Tong, and his footsteps stopped outside the two of them.

Shao Yuanjie stepped forward, patted Dao Tong's head and smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, Tong'er, go do your homework!" ”

Seeing the boy leave, Yang Yiqing looked at Shao Yuanjie and said, "Shao Zhenren took the first step, and the official then went to meet the Son of Heaven!" ”

Looking at Yang Yiqing's distrustful look, Shao Yuanjie had a lot of helplessness in his heart, but he couldn't explain it to Yang Yiqing, because in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty and the people in Beijing, Zhu Houzhao, who was the Son of Heaven in recent years, has gradually become obsessed with government affairs, but more often than not, he stays with Shao Yuanjie and Zhang Yanyu and several Taoist real people.

Although the energetic Zhu Houzhao did not delay the political affairs of the DPRK and China because of this, and even handled the political affairs of the DPRK and China in an orderly manner, the Manchu civil and military who were full of expectations that Zhu Houzhao would become a generation of saints and ancestors was eager for Zhu Houzhao to put all his thoughts on government affairs instead of being obsessed with Buddhism.

After all, emperors such as Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are the best examples, and they are really worried that the Son of Heaven will repeat the mistakes of these emperors.

Needless to say, the most worrying thing about the changes of the Son of Heaven is the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and this time Yang Yiqing even visited Shao Yuanjie in person.

Shao Yuanjie bowed and said: "Poor Dao and take the first step, welcome Lord Yang!" ”

Looking at Shao Yuanjie's departing figure, Yang Yiqing's eyes were complicated, his feet paused slightly, and he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Wuwang Mansion

Wang Zheng looked at Shao Yuanjie's figure with a little smile on his face, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "The real person is here, Your Majesty is waiting for the real person in the secret room!" ”

Shao Yuanjie nodded at Wang Zheng and said, "There is a long time for Gonggong Lao!" ”

At the same time, Shao Yuanjie glanced at the secret room and said in a low voice: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, I don't know if Your Majesty has summoned others?" ”

Wang Zheng glanced in the direction of the secret room and said in a low voice: "Back to the truth, Your Majesty also summoned Zhang Tianshi!" ”

Shao Yuanjie nodded slightly and strode towards the direction of the secret room.

Walking into the secret room, Shao Yuanjie saw Zhu Houzhao sitting there, but in front of him was a bright yellow silk silk, which at first glance looked like a holy decree.

However, Shao Yuanjie is no stranger to this silk silk, and it is not the first time he has seen it, but he is a little confused about the fact that the Son of Heaven is often in a daze with such a silk silk.

After all, this is just a silk silk that doesn't seem to have anything peculiar, and I don't know what the Son of Heaven is looking at when he stares at this silk again and again.

If you want to say that this piece of silk is something left by Chu Yi, then that's fine, after all, everyone knows the love between the Son of Heaven and Chu Yi, so it is reasonable that the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to the things left by Chu Yi.

The key is that this piece of silk is not something left by Chu Yi at all.

Shao Yuanjie slowly walked into the secret room, and the footsteps alarmed Zhu Houzhao, who was in a trance, and saw Zhu Houzhao slowly raise his head and glance at Shao Yuanjie.

Seeing Shao Yuanjie walking into the secret room, Zhu Houzhao just nodded at Shao Yuanjie, and pointed at random: "The real person is here, and sit down to talk!" ”

Shao Yuanjie saluted respectfully, and then did it opposite Zhu Houzhao, unless it was above the court, when generally getting along in private, Zhu Houzhao was actually quite approachable, Shao Yuanjie had been with Zhu Houzhao for nearly ten years, and he knew Zhu Houzhao's temperament very well, so he was not restrained, he sat opposite Zhu Houzhao very naturally, and his eyes naturally fell on the silk in front of Zhu Houzhao.

With a little smile on his face, Shao Yuanjie said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, hurriedly summon the poor road to come, I don't know what to order?" ”

Zhu Houzhao chuckled: "Don't worry, let's wait for Zhang Tianshi to come!" ”

Shao Yuanjie nodded, and said to Zhu Houzhao unhurriedly: "Not long ago, Lord Shoufu Yang went to see Poor Dao!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was not surprised at all, and smiled slightly: "Oh, it seems that this Shoufu Lord of mine is really a little anxious, with his temperament, if he is not really in a hurry, he will definitely not run to disturb the real person Qing Xiu." ”

Anyway, he has been an emperor for more than ten years, Zhu Houzhao is no longer the ignorant son of heaven at the beginning, although he dare not say that he knows everything about the civil and military temperament of the Manchu Dynasty, but what are the temperaments, what are the strengths, and what are the weaknesses of many civil and military ministers in the court, Zhu Houzhao is very clear.

Yang Yiqing has been an official for many years, and he has been the governor of the border town for more than ten years, but his temperament is calm.

Being able to let such a calm person as Yang Yiqing go to Shao Yuanjie, it can be seen that the Chinese martial arts led by Yang Yiqing have quite opinions about some of his actions in the past few years.

Shao Yuanjie smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, don't be too poor, Your Majesty is a generation of saints, and the ancestors of the super sect are just waiting for leisure, but they shouldn't focus on other things." ”

Zhu Houzhao is not annoyed, he is not the kind of son of heaven who can't listen to opinions, and this is not the first time Shao Yuanjie has persuaded him, but he has his own plans in his heart.

Except for him, he hadn't told anyone what he thought, so neither Yang Yiqing nor Shao Yuanjie, the cronies he relied on, knew his specific plans.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven looked light, Shao Yuanjie was not the first time he had seen it, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

As a courtier, he can directly advise the Son of Heaven, as for whether the Son of Heaven accepts it, that is the matter of the Son of Heaven.

Shao Yuanjie is not the kind of direct minister, he is still sure of proportion, and it is impossible not to give face to the Son of Heaven, so he should say that the proportion is very well grasped, and he will definitely not make the Son of Heaven unhappy.

As he was talking, he heard a sound of footsteps, and Shao Yuanjie immediately judged the identity of the person when he heard the footsteps.

Except for Zhang Tianshi, there are few congenitals in the entire Jingshi who are afraid of things, and Zhang Tianshi walked over in a black regular suit.

When he saw Shao Yuanjie, Zhang Tianshi was not surprised, nodded slightly at Shao Yuanjie, stepped forward and sat down after saluting the Son of Heaven.

The three of them sat opposite each other, and Shao Yuanjie still had Zhang Tianshi's gaze naturally falling on Zhu Houzhao.

I only heard Zhu Houzhao say to Shao Yuanjie and Zhang Tianshi: "I want to build a sacrificial altar to heaven, I don't know what suggestions the two of you have!" ”

The Son of Heaven suddenly wanted to build the Temple of Heaven, which surprised the two, but after reacting, the two glanced at each other, and heard Shao Yuanjie cough lightly, stroked his beard and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty built the Temple of Heaven for?" So poor Dao and Zhang Daoyou can set the specifications of the altar! ”

Zhu Houzhao said slowly: "I want to pray to God to sacrifice heaven and earth!" ”

Zhang Yanqi and Shao Yuanjie glanced at each other, quite surprised in their hearts, but Shao Yuanjie sighed a little and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty has for the scale of the altar?" ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his long sleeves and said: "Extremely solemn, I want to repair the world's largest altar to worship the sky!" ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and a voice was heard from outside the secret room: "Your Majesty, the ministers ask to see you!" ”

Needless to say, the person who came was Yang Yiqing, but it was not only Yang Yiqing alone, looking at the movement, I was afraid that the cabinet elders came together.

When Zhu Houzhao first ascended to the throne, he was not confident in the face of the important ministers of the cabinet, and was even restrained by the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but now Zhu Houzhao is in charge of the imperial power.

Zhu Houzhao heard Yang Yiqing's voice and said lightly: "A few Qing families, come in and talk!" ”

I saw Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming, and Chen Ding walking into the secret room.

Among the elders, there are a few old ministers who are already old and a few more new faces.

After all, in recent years, the Ming Dynasty has developed rapidly, a famous and capable official has come to the fore, and the old ministers in the court, such as Wang Hua and Jiao Fang, have gradually faded out of the court because of their health, and a generation of new people has replaced the old.

"Your Majesty!"

Raising his hand slightly to signal a few people to get up, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Yiqing with a calm face: "A few secretaries don't go to deal with the political affairs of the DPRK and China, and this time they came to see me, isn't there something important?" ”

Yang Yiqing, as the first assistant, naturally stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are just asking Your Majesty to put all the people in the world first, don't linger in the evil way, Your Majesty's generation of Shengming monarchs, you should know that immortality is unpredictable......"

If this were to be replaced by other emperors who were obsessed with immortality, they would be so bluntly admonished by the courtiers, I was afraid that they would be furious on the spot, but Zhu Houzhao looked calm, and there was no trace of annoyance on his face, but he glanced at Yang Yiqing and bowed slightly: "The Qing family is reasonable, immortality is too ethereal, and I didn't think about really wanting to live forever, I just want to keep up with the footsteps of my companion!" ”

Stunned, Yang Yiqing looked at Shao Yuanjie, and then at Zhang Yanxiao, and the two noticed that Yang Yiqing's appearance showed a wry smile at Yang Yiqing, indicating that it had nothing to do with them.

Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting there, saw the reactions of Yang Yiqing and the others in his eyes, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The Yang Qing family doesn't need to suspect Shao Zhenren and Zhang Tianshi, the two of them have never bewitched me, or do the Qing family think that I will be the kind of mediocre lord who is fooled by people at will?" ”

"The minister didn't dare to ......"

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Houzhao took a drawing from the table on the side, then put it on the table, and said to Yang Yiqing: "A few Qing families came just in time, even if you don't come, I will invite you to come, you come and see, how about this altar I designed?" ”

Zhu Houzhao kept saying that he was not obsessed with immortality, but at this time, he asked them to see the altar he designed, and Yang Yiqing and the others thought it was so strange.

Taking a deep breath, several people stepped forward and their eyes fell on the altar drawn by the Son of Heaven.

At a glance, especially when he saw the data marked on the pattern, Chen Ding, who was the most sensitive to the data, almost exclaimed: "No, no, an altar of this scale, I don't know how much manpower and material resources it will take, it is really a waste of labor and money, and please ask Your Majesty to take back the order, burn the drawings, and stop the idea of building such an altar......

It's no wonder that Chen Ding's reaction is so big, it's really that the scale of the altar painted by Zhu Houzhao is too large.

An altar with a radius of 999 zhang and a height of 99 zhang is almost a small mountain, and it is not a small project at all.

Although it is not impossible to say that the projects started by the Ming Dynasty in recent years are many times larger than this altar, but those projects are all related to the people's livelihood, as the head of the household, Chen Ding has always been a strong supporter of these projects related to the people's livelihood.

However, in Chen Ding's view, this altar is a move to work hard and lose money, with his character, if he doesn't object, then he is not Chen Ding.

The white-haired Chen Ding is over seventy years old, and he can be regarded as a long-lived minister in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

It is said that at Chen Ding's age, he should have been in good age a long time ago, but among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the courtiers who could let Zhu Houzhao rest assured that he would hand over the household department to him for care, Zhu Houzhao was looking for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and no one could match Chen Ding.

Chen Ding's daring was expected by Zhu Houzhao, so Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming and said, "What do the two Qing families think?" ”

No more straightforward than Chen Ding, Yang Yiqing glanced at the drawing, and said to Zhu Houzhao: "But I don't know if Your Majesty repairs an altar of this scale, but is it of any use?" If it is related to the affairs of the country and the well-being of the people of the world, the ministers should do their best to overcome all difficulties and help His Majesty build the altar. ”

The words are so, but as long as they are not fools, they can hear the deep meaning of Yang Yiqing's words.

If it is not related to the people's livelihood and the people, then Yang Yiqing, as the first assistant to the cabinet, will not agree with the decision of the Son of Heaven.

Wang Yangming obviously has the same attitude, it is impossible to let the Son of Heaven act arbitrarily, even if it may be evil to the Son of Heaven because of this.

Zhu Houzhao said slowly: "This altar is related to the future of my Ming Dynasty, I have made up my mind, and several Qing families immediately dispatched people to build the altar." ”

"Your Majesty, no, this is a move that will bring disaster to the country and the people, and please ask Your Majesty to take back your order, otherwise, the old minister is willing to beg for bones!"

Chen Ding's temper was committed again, and he immediately panted, trembling all over his body, and said loudly to the Son of Heaven.

Looking at Chen Ding's gray-haired, swaying figure, and looking like he might fall down at any time, Zhu Houzhao sighed lightly, got up and stepped forward to hold Chen Ding, and then pressed him on the seat, and said slowly: "The Qing family has done their best for me in this life, and I haven't had a good rest in half my life, I am really ashamed of the Qing family." ”

Chen Ding said stubbornly: "This is the duty of a minister, a minister, a matter of loyalty to the king, and worry about the king, Chen Ding can't afford to be praised by His Majesty." ”

Zhu Houzhao patted Chen Ding's shoulder and said, "If the Qing family can't afford it, who can afford it if the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military." ”

Saying that, Zhu Hou looked at Chen Ding and said: "The Qing family is old, if you hand over the affairs of the household department to others temporarily, the Qing family can also have a good rest." ”

Stunned for a moment, Chen Ding didn't look surprised, just sighed lightly, looked at Zhu Houzhao with a complicated expression and said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that no matter what the minister says, what he does can't change His Majesty's mind, His Majesty allows the minister to return to old age, and the minister is grateful for the emperor's grace, and asks His Majesty to allow the minister to slow down, since His Majesty insists on building the altar, then let the minister do his last part for Your Majesty!" ”

Seeing Chen Ding like this, Zhu Houzhao felt a trace of warmth in his heart, and nodded slowly: "I agreed!" ”

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao handed over the drawings to Shao Yuanjie and Zhang Yanyu: "Two real people, the matter of the altar will be supervised by the two of them, and all the personnel of the six departments of the central government are all at your disposal, and the altar must be built as quickly as possible." ”

Strait of Gibraltar, among the harbors.

The mighty fleet went out of the port again, but it was to test the details of the Ming fleet, and after judging the true situation of the lack of shells in the Ming fleet, Grand Duke Rose once again made the decision to conquer the Ming fleet.

I have to say that Grand Duke Rose is not an ordinary person, after experiencing a big defeat, he still has the courage to fight again, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

It's just a distance of about a hundred miles, but it's just an hour or so, and warships appear on the sea, heading straight for the port where the Ming fleet docked.

When the Spanish fleet appeared on the sea, the Ming fleet was already fully prepared.

Earlier, General Levy had left in a small boat, and Yu Dayou and his men realized that the lack of flowering shells on their ships must not be hidden, and the Spaniards, as long as they were not fools, would inevitably take this opportunity to attack.

Looking at the battleships, Yu Dayou glanced at Yue Buqun and the others, and saw several people nodding at Yu Dayou, and then said to each other to take care of themselves, and then each got off the flagship and took a small boat to other ships.

Soon the two fleets exchanged fire, one after another shells whistled, the Ming fleet was indeed out of shells, after a few rounds of flowering shells, and then fired the solid shells that had been rushed out by the craftsmen in the past few months.

In this way, the gap between the two sides has suddenly narrowed a lot, even if the Ming side is fierce, but the Spanish side is to occupy the geographical advantage, the number of warships is more than double the number of the Ming fleet, it is conceivable that after losing the advantage of artillery fire, the Ming on the Spanish fleet, the pressure suddenly increased a lot.

As the saying goes, when the opponent meets the good talent in chess, the Ming fleet has experienced one war after another along the way, and a group of soldiers have already been sharpened.

The Spanish fleet has also experienced one battle after another because of Spain's frenzied expansion over the years.

It can be said that the Spanish fleet is definitely at its peak, and it can be said that it dares to fight and is full of strength. If this is not the case, it is impossible to dare to face the Ming Dynasty again and again in the case of repeated defeats, which is where the foundation of a strong country lies.

A battle at sea lasted from morning to evening, and the nearby sea was filled with scattered decks and debris from an unknown number of shipwrecks.

Originally, there were hundreds of warships on both sides, but now they are about a quarter less, which shows the tragedy of this battle.

On a large ship with no features, Yu Dayou had one arm bandaged, and at this moment he was grinning and directing the generals on the battleship to pursue a Spanish battleship.

Even the flagship that Yu Dayou was riding was sunk by the Spanish fleet, but fortunately, Yu Dayou got off the ship before the flagship sank, otherwise, I am afraid that even Yu Dayou would have to sink into the sea with the flagship.

General Levy, who was also extremely embarrassed, was on a big ship, wet, and it seemed that he had just climbed onto the ship from the sea not long ago, and at this moment he was looking at the battlefield around him with a smile on his face and said: "Hahaha, victory belongs to Spain, long live Spain......"

Boom

There was a sudden roar, and then I saw a fire erupt on a battleship, and the battleship that had been smashed was completely scattered in the flames.

"Blossom shells, where did the shelling come from!"
