What did they hear, the Son of Heaven actually said that Chu Yi had ascended!

finally stopped coughing, and several people looked at Zhu Houzhao with stunned expressions, as if they wanted to see something from Zhu Houzhao's expression.

But Zhu Houzhao just sat there with a calm expression, judging from their experience, Zhu Houzhao's words were not to deceive them, but to tell a fact.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming were so shocked in their hearts, but they really couldn't accept the fact that Chu Yi was promoted.

Previously, Shao Yuanjie had said that Yang Yiqing listened, Yang Yiqing naturally didn't believe it, and even Shao Yuanjie himself wondered if there was some villain who bewitched the Son of Heaven.

Now Yang Yiqing feels that something is not quite right, and looking at the expression and reaction of the Son of Heaven, it does not look like he was being bewitched.

With a light cough, Wang Yangming looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, you said that His Royal Highness the Martial King has ascended?" ”

Zhu Houzhao bowed slightly: "Not bad! Otomo has indeed soared! ”

Wang Yangming said: "Could it be that Your Majesty saw it with your own eyes, or did someone tell Your Majesty, and who is the person who told Your Majesty?"

is worthy of Wang Yangming, and quickly thought of the point.

Zhu Hou glanced at Wang Yangming, and said with an indifferent smile: "I said that no one can bewitch me, although it is said that the ascension of the Great Companion is not what I have seen with my own eyes, but it is really certain that the Great Companion has ascended!" ”

Yang Yiqing and the others looked at Zhu Houzhao with the appearance of identifying Chu Yi's ascension, and smiled bitterly in their hearts.

Since Zhu Houzhao said that no one bewitched him, then there was really no one bewitching him, but they didn't know what to do.

The current situation makes Yang Yiqing and the others very helpless, because no one is going to bewitch the Son of Heaven, even if they want to ask the Son of Heaven to behead the villain who is in trouble, they have no goal, because they firmly believe that the person who Chu Yi is ascending is the Son of Heaven himself.

Unless there is something they can do to change the Son of Heaven's cognition and thoughts, otherwise, they have no way to speak at all.

Chen Ding's face showed a little sadness and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and you are concerned about the well-being of all the people in the world, can it be said that Your Majesty wants to learn from Emperor Qin and Han Wu, obsessed with the immortal path of immortality, and ignore all the people in the world......

Yang Yiqing and the others looked at the Son of Heaven expectantly, they had to figure out the attitude of the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven really had such an idea, then he would have to find a way to persuade the Son of Heaven anyway.

Seeing Chu Yi shook his head slightly, he glanced at a few people and said, "I know what you are worried about, you can rest assured, I am very sober, the matter of Emperor Qin and Han Wu will definitely not be repeated in me, and I will not abandon the government because of this." ”

With a little relief and curiosity on his face, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but say: "If Your Majesty is really like this, it is really a blessing for all the people in the world!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly: "The companion is one step ahead, and I will go to find the companion sooner or later." ”

"Huh!"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly mentioned Chu Yi, Yang Yiqing and the others couldn't help but change their expressions slightly, but they really didn't know where Chu Yi was now, as for the ascension, anyway, Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming didn't believe it in their hearts.

At this moment, Chen Ding opened his mouth and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness the Martial King has ascended, can the fleets that His Majesty sent out to find His Royal Highness the Martial King with so much thought and effort before?" ”

"Don't ......"

Almost instinctively, Yang Yiqing said.

Seeing that Yang Yiqing stopped him, Chen Ding did not show any surprise, but looked at Yang Yiqing with an angry face and said: "Lord Shoufu, you are the first assistant, if you don't persuade Your Majesty, don't use military force, what is the reason for preventing the old man from persuading Your Majesty?" ”

Yang Yiqing said to Chen Ding with a solemn expression: "Lord Chen, the reason for this, the adult should know in his heart, Yang has told Lord Chen more than once, but Lord Chen didn't listen. ”

With a wave of his sleeves, Chen Ding ignored Yang Yiqing, and in the cabinet, Chen Ding had always held too right opinions on sending a fleet to sea.

In charge of the household department, Chen Ding is in charge of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, honest as water, meticulous, in Chen Ding's view, the imperial court spent so much money on shipbuilding and maintenance, not to mention how painful his heart was.

If it is possible to recall those fleets that are far away, at least the imperial court will no longer have to bear such a bottomless pit.

If you want to say that in the management of big rivers, the repair of waterways and disaster relief, Chen Ding has always been generous, and Chen Ding will never miss a cent of the money that should be spent.

However, Chen Ding has always been opposed to the imperial court's large-scale construction of large ships, even if these overseas fleets can bring back a lot of wealth now, Chen Ding will not change his initial perception and attitude.

"Your Majesty......"

Chen Ding bowed to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, and said to Chen Ding with a little displeasure: "Lord Chen, I said that the Qing family should not mention the matter of building ships and sending fleets, I have my own opinions!" ”

Chen Ding couldn't help but hurriedly said: "But Your Majesty ......"

"Enough!"

As soon as he slapped the table, Zhu Houzhao stared at Chen Ding with an angry look.

Wang Yangming saw Zhu Houzhao's angry appearance and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is angry, Lord Chen's affairs are on the matter, and there is no other meaning!" ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, glanced at Wang Yangming and Chen Ding, and his face eased a lot.

I heard Zhu Houzhao support Wang Yangming and said: "Duke Anguo, pass on my will, order Yu Dayou and others to level the overseas countries for me, and I want to dominate the world and rule the world!" ”

Even if the news they got from the mouth of the Son of Heaven today has always kept them in a state of shock, but after listening to Zhu Houzhao's will at this time, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

How big this world is, maybe the people don't know, but as an auxiliary Son of Heaven, the hundred officials who control the great Ming Dynasty are very clear.

The map of the world has long been placed in the study of a group of officials, and the map left by Zheng He when he went to the West has roughly pieced together a map of the world.

When the Ming Dynasty opened the sea, as soon as the maritime merchants went to sea, one country after another was discovered, and naturally, the new world map became more and more detailed and accurate.

Up to now, it can almost be said that the world map has included about ninety percent of the world's areas, but wherever people can reach, there are the footsteps of Ming merchants.

It is precisely because they have a clear understanding of how big the world really is, that Yang Yiqing and others feel so shocked.

Gurgling swallowed, even Wang Yangming couldn't help but say to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, does Daming really want to go to war with other countries?" ”

Zhu Houzhao bowed his head, looked at Wang Yangming and said, "What?" Could it be that my Ming soldiers are not good, or is my Ming ship's artillery not sharp enough? ”

Wang Yangming sighed lightly and said: "But even if we can destroy one overseas country after another, we can't completely incorporate it into my Ming Dynasty's territory, this world is too big, even if it can really be occupied, it is beyond the reach of the whip, and the imperial court cannot rule at all." ”

Zhu Houzhao is not a fool, he naturally knows this, just like the territory tens of thousands of miles away, even if he occupies it, he can't rule at all, just a riot, starting from the outbreak, and when the court receives the news, I'm afraid it will be more than half a year later, at that time, I am afraid that the overall situation has been decided, and even if the court sends troops, it will be a year later.

For the territory that cannot be effectively controlled, it is of little significance, and even if it is temporarily occupied, it may be lost at any time.

What Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and others are worried about is not whether the Ming Dynasty can capture those countries, but that they occupy those countries and cannot rule at all, so that the territory that they spent a lot of energy to occupy cannot be ruled in the end, and naturally there is no meaning at all.

"Hahaha, this matter is easy!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing out loud, looking like he was in his chest, which made Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming very curious, could it be that the Son of Heaven had any way to make the imperial court effectively rule those territories that were thousands of miles away?

If this is the case, whether it is Yang Yiqing or Wang Yangming, or even Chen Ding, who has always insisted on opposing Zhu Houzhao's reckless military support for foreign troops, will vigorously support the Son of Heaven's external expansion.

After all, the achievement of opening up the territory and expanding the territory will inevitably go down in history, and what they seek for officials is nothing more than fame and fortune, to the extent that they have no meaning to win with just a word of profit, but what they really care about is the name of the future generations.

Yang Yiqing looked at Zhu Houzhao with a look of surprise and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any good plans?" ”

Zhu Houzhao leaned forward slightly, and said with a glint in his eyes: "Hasn't the Duke of Jin been worried about the problem of the country supporting the royal family?" ”

To be able to become a member of the cabinet, no one is a fool, and when I heard Zhu Houzhao mention this, a thought came to my heart.

I only heard a pavilion elder exclaim: "Your Majesty, is it not possible to restart the sub-sealing system?" ”

Zhu Houzhao bowed his head slightly and said: "Yes, I just want to restart the sub-feudal system, aren't you worried that those territories that are thousands of miles away will not be able to rule?" Then I will divide all the royal relatives and nobles in my Ming Dynasty overseas. ”

A pavilion elder muttered softly: "I'm afraid that those imperial relatives will not ......."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes narrowed, and he sneered: "I allow them to take charge of the military and political power in the country, aren't they still moved?" ”

Hearing the Son of Heaven say this, everyone couldn't help but be silent for a while, and the fool knew that if the Son of Heaven really had such courage, if the princes who were raised by the royal family like pigs were not crazy and begged the Son of Heaven to divide the overseas, then there was something wrong with their heads.
