Zhou Tai was stunned, since Yang Yiqing was going to resign from the household department at that time, who would take over next?

He immediately raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Qian.

Xu Qian's face was indifferent, and he ordered: "Immediately send a letter to the pacification envoy, and say that this great victory, maybe the imperial court will not pay attention to it, but this official has a heavy reward, so the meritorious soldiers will each report the merits, and if there is, the casualties will also be compensated." The pacification envoy by sea should make persistent efforts and immediately send troops to the countries of the South Seas to eliminate all the forces of the Francos. ”

"We would like to issue a proclamation of free trade to reaffirm the determination of the Maritime Route Pacification Mission to maintain free trade, and take this opportunity to warn those with bad intentions that whoever dares to undermine the freedom of trade is the enemy of the Maritime Route Pacification Mission."

"Besides, it is very important to take a letter to Gonggong Huang and ask him to report the movements in the palace in the near future." Xu Qian accentuated his tone at the end.

"Yes." Zhou Tai nodded and hurriedly went.

And then, there was a guest waiting for Xu Qian in this temporary trip, and the Portuguese envoy Sir Lune had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as the news of Spain's defeat broke, Lu En immediately came here and begged Xu Qian, the governor of Zhizhejiang, to meet.

Xu Qian came to this small hall, smiled at him reluctantly, and said, "I don't know why Mr. came to see Bendu." ”

Lu En hurriedly stood up, looked at Xu Qian's eyes, with a little awe, and hurriedly said: "The kingdom ordered me to come in the hope that the kingdom and the lord have the same purpose, both aim to maintain the freedom of trade, the kingdom can understand the urgent measures taken by the lord against the Spaniards, and on behalf of the king, I hope that the lord can accept the most sincere kindness of His Royal Highness." ”

Now that the victory has been revealed, and according to the news, the sea pacification envoy has shown unparalleled strength, then the focus of the Portuguese now is to beat the water dogs, that is, in Africa and even in the Americas, the Portuguese are very hopeful to take over the Spanish possessions. That being the case, he must seek the greatest goodwill from the governor.

Xu Qian nodded his head and said: "You Francois people are not all unreasonable, it's just that free trade means peaceful coexistence with the countries trading with the Ming Dynasty, your country is sawing Java, and Java happens to have been a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, I don't know what your country plans to do?" ”

Lu En hesitated a little, in fact, the kingdom did not give him any authority to give up Java, but now, he had to act cheaply, rather than being driven away like a reservoir dog, it was better to leave some dignity for himself, he immediately said: "The kingdom has decided to withdraw all military forces, however, we will increase trade with the Ming Dynasty, I hope we can live in harmony." ”

Xu Qian smiled, and then said, "Very good, yes, can I ask you a little favor." ”

But everyone is afraid of trouble, so when the word help is mentioned, most people's faces are not too good-looking. It's just that Xu Qian asked Lu En to help, but it made this foreign friend suddenly feel excited, helping means that the Governor doesn't seem to confuse all the Francois people, at least, the Governor can also distinguish between Spain and Portugal, so as to avoid the possibility of being killed with a stick, Lu En hurriedly said: "Willing to serve your lordship." ”

Xu Qian instructed a person, and the messenger immediately took out a thick list, Xu Qian handed it to Lu En, and said: "These Spaniards are quite helpful to this official, which are all drafted with the help of some Spanish craftsmen in Daming, if you can gather all these people to Daming, you only need to be able to summon eighty percent of the manpower, and from now on, Daming can consider letting you monopolize the silk business of Franco." ”

When Lu En heard the monopoly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly opened the roster, which was full of two hundred, and even quite a few, Lu En actually recognized them, among them were nobles who were proficient in navigation, and there were craftsmen who were good at a certain skill, not only Spaniards, but also many Portuguese.

After the rise of Portugal and Spain, they paid more attention to the wealth brought by trade and plunder, and did not pay attention to the craftsmen, and because of this, they did not seize the historical opportunity, and finally surpassed the British who were the rising stars behind them, although Lu En also understood Xu Qian's intention to gather these talents, but when he thought of the monopoly of silk, he couldn't care about anything, but he was a little worried, and couldn't help but say: "But... There were many of them, who lived well in Spain and Portugal, and many of them were even nobles, but I am afraid that they may not be willing to travel thousands of miles to the Far East. ”

Xu Qian smiled slightly: "The war of your Francois is about to happen, this big war, I'm afraid it will not be impossible to end without three or five years, in this environment, I think many people want to come here to try their luck, as for how you promise, that's your business, can you do it?" ”

Luen was shocked, because after the destruction of the Spanish expeditionary fleet, it is true that all countries are sharpening their knives, whether it is France, or other countries, at this time they have regarded Spain as a piece of fat, he is almost certain that by the time he returns to Franco, a new alliance is about to be formed, and even war has begun to break out, after all, the current Spain, occupies a corner of the western part of Europe, and also has many territories in North Africa and South Italy, and their defeat in the Far East has suffered heavy losses, And the myth of invincibility has been shattered, and the ill-intentioned neighbors have naturally begun to covet the great wealth it has accumulated for decades.

But how did this adult know? Could it be ...... Inside the Franc machine, there are high-level people who spy on the news for this adult.

Thinking of this, Lu En immediately became cautious, and he hurriedly said, "It will definitely be as you wish, my lord, I take my leave." ”

Sending Lu En away, Xu Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief, as for the big war of the Franco, naturally it has nothing to do with him, but once the war starts, then many productive forces will be destroyed, and craftsmen will be conscripted to put into the war, Xu Qian is almost certain that the demand for warships and firearms will increase greatly, after all, the Francos are like this, they always swarm when they start a war, do not win over seven or eight allies, and then fight in the dark, it is impossible, especially for Spain, this kind of national fortune war, it will invest 100% of its strength.

The only thing he cares about now is Jingshi, how is His Majesty Xià recently, what changes have taken place in the palace, and what will happen to the imperial court next, on the eve of this change, the current Jingshi must be very interesting.

Thinking like this in his heart, Xu Qian smiled slightly, he returned to the study, sat down attentively, and then turned out a newspaper sent from Jingshi.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Forbidden City is still the same as before, but in this quiet palace, there is a little more solemnity.

There was no peace in the palace, and last night, there were already guards who had captured a concubine, and this morning, this concubine had been executed, and then, many incredible changes took place in the twelve prisons.

In the Great Gao Xuan Palace, the Heavenly Master drew up a list one by one, and when the list came out, there were eunuchs from the Imperial Horse Eunuch who went to get people, these nobles who were invincible in the past, or the eunuchs and little eunuchs who were quite a bit of a face, after being caught, they never came back.

His Majesty's mood became worse and worse, and after the palace maid made a mess, not only did he become more and more suspicious, and he no longer believed the people around him, but at the same time, it also made the Son of Heaven angry and ashamed.

That's right, it's just annoyed and angry, when such a thing happens, how can there be no one to instruct, who instigates, who betrays?

And the outer court, how could he receive the rumors, and how could someone write a book about the palace leisure, this is Jiajing's reverse scale, so Jiajing naturally felt ashamed, when he killed a person, he asked the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, whether all the people involved in this matter have been cleared out, and the imperial horse eunuch naturally replied, it has been all cleared, and there is no one else.

But the next day, Jiajing woke up, and suddenly remembered a person, and then, in the Dagao Xuan Palace, he found Zhang Tianshi, let Zhang Tianshi divination, the middle one was immediately executed, and the one who did not hit was also executed, all in all, Jiajing fell into a constant self-denial of love, and even in the end, the palm print eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch also took it, and his body was transported out of the palace this morning, Huang Jin was quite sympathetic to him, and ordered someone to spend money to bury him.

The death of the eunuch of the palm seal may be an opportunity for the prince who is the admiral eunuch, but for Huang Jin, he is already afraid.

Although His Majesty still trusts himself, trust is one thing, and the case is another, this case is obviously endless, and the number of people involved is unprecedented, and the eunuchs in this palace are in a state of uneasiness, and all the people come to Huang Jin, but Huang Jin can only smile bitterly, what's the use of looking for him, no matter how he swears, no matter how he swears, no matter how he finds out the news, he can't decide who will die or live in the next moment.

The only one who can influence it is Zhang Tianshi of the Great Gao Xuan Palace, the Son of Heaven has been in the Great Gao Xuan Hall for the past few days, asking this Zhang Tianshi if this is a calamity for him, and Zhang Tianshi is ambiguous, and the final result is that more and more people are dying.

Huang Jin cautiously rushed to the Great Gao Xuan Palace, entered the main hall, Jiajing, who had eaten the pill, raised his eyelids lazily, his eyes seemed to be a little afraid, when everyone approached him, he was so afraid, so Huang Jin didn't dare to get too close, bowed down from afar, and said: "Your Majesty xià ......"
