Zhang Xuan was assigned to Shaanxi as a political envoy of Zuobu.

After three years as an official, he can be mixed from a second-class jinshi to a provincial political envoy, Zhang Xuan can be regarded as the best among the Ming officials, and the speed of promotion is the envy of the world, but he was transferred to the northwest from the position of a bachelor of Hanlin, and the gap in his heart is not small.

After all, Shaanxi is a little far away from the capital, and it is obvious that there is a suspicion of being assigned to Shaanxi as an official, and Zhang Xuan was very desolate when he left, but many officials from the Yili faction took the initiative to send him off.

Although most people don't know what happened, they all regret what happened to Zhang Zhang, and some expected that it might be related to the factional conflict between the DPRK and China.

But why did the emperor transfer the backbone of his faction out of the capital, ordinary people can't use common sense to speculate, as if there are still many people who don't know Zhu Hao's status in the new emperor system, and they don't know at all that Zhang Xuan was assigned because of his bad relationship with Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao had no intention of caring about Zhang Xuan's affairs at this time.

Since Zhang Xuan was driven out of the capital by his own hands, he doesn't need to pretend to send each other off, the seeds of hatred have been planted, so it is better to be thorough, it is best not to get along with each other for old age.

Zhu Hao returned to Beijing this time, in fact, there was one more important thing to do, that is, to visit Tang Yin on the sickbed.

Tang Yin's health has deteriorated these days, even to the point of being bedridden, while Tang Yin was still awake, Zhu Hao knew that he and Tang Yin Zhengde had known each other for nine years, and now they have been around for ten years, and it is almost time to draw an end.

When Zhu Hao arrived at the Tang Mansion, he was directly invited to Tang Yin's ward.

On the sickbed, Tang Yin's condition looked better, but his face was pale, and he could only sit slightly against the soft pillow, and he couldn't even sit for too long.

"You were so good when you were in Xishan, why did you become like this after only a month of returning to the capital?"

Zhu Hao sat down in front of the sickbed, and Tang Yinjiao's wife, who was originally waiting at the bedside, wiped her tears while leaving the room with her stomach up, and closed the door with her hand.

The room smelled of Chinese medicine.

Tang Yin smiled bitterly: "I said everything, you don't need to boil medicine for me, life and death are fate, but they don't listen...... I don't want anything in my life anymore, and everything I've experienced in a few years is enough for me to die without regrets!"

Zhu Hao was very emotional when he heard this.

After all, I haven't known Tang Yin for so long, the key is that he can't make friends with Tang Yin with his small body, and he can't change from Tang Yin's youth, if he can go back to before Tang Yin was hit by the scientific field...... Everything may be different. Tang Yin is still the amorous and uninhibited, and he, Zhu Hao, may have a good relationship with Tang Yin, drink together, and wander freely.

Zhu Hao said, "It's a pity that I didn't take Mr. Tang overseas to see."

"It's fine."

Tang Yin is not interested in any overseas places at all.

……

……

The two talked about some things in the past, and Tang Yin always had a smile on his face whenever he mentioned Zhu Hao's youth.

It was a kind of relief to witness Zhu Hao's growth step by step, perhaps more exciting than Tang Yin's own experience.

Tang Yin said, "Jingdao, do you remember that you promised to tell me about your past experience before I closed my eyes? Others don't know, but I know very well that your knowledge is not taught by me, you had a famous teacher before you met me, and you may even have experienced the Immortal Family, otherwise...... I can't figure out why you have such magical powers."

Zhu Hao smiled: "Do you have to say it?"

Tang Yin glanced at Zhu Hao: "What you promise others will be done."

"Isn't this the day Mr. Tang closes his eyes? Wait."

Zhu Hao felt that although Tang Yin was terminally ill, he probably had a few days to live.

If Tang Yin accidentally leaked some secrets, it would be terrible, so he could only keep it secret first.

Tang Yin said with a bitter face: "I don't have a few days to live, and you still have to continue to hide?"

Zhu Hao sighed and didn't say anything.

Tang Yin asked again, "Then what's going on between you and Bingyong?"

cinnabar

Hao replied with a smile: "I've been an official in Daming enough, and I want to cultivate an enemy to come out and let him drive me out of the court, can't I?"

"You ......"

Tang Yin wanted to scold.

When others have the opportunity, they all squeeze their heads and drill up, but Zhu Hao obviously has a good future, but he always likes to die by himself.

Zhu Hao said: "I deliberately contradicted Zhang Bingyong and made him hate me, you know this. This time I even calculated him with my own hands, and Your Majesty now listens to me in everything, but it will also cause dislike with me because of this, in fact, Your Majesty is reluctant in his heart, or in other words, in the future, His Majesty will definitely regret what happened today, and the seeds of doubt and distrust begin to be planted in his heart."

Tang Yin frowned: "Everyone else is desperately trying to gain the emperor's trust, but you ......."

Zhu Hao shrugged: "Anyway, I don't live on His Majesty's trust, do I?"

"You're speechless."

Tang Yin once again felt Zhu Hao's difference.

Zhu Hao took out something and handed it to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin looked at it and asked, "What is this?"

Zhu Hao said: "This is a list of ships that go to sea, I have named each ship, and they will sail away......

"Aren't you going to exterminate the Southeast pirates and pirates?" Tang Yin looked at Zhu Hao puzzled, "Look at you like this, it seems that you will never go back."

Zhu Hao nodded: "It's true that it's not to exterminate pirates, but to go farther away, but the soldiers accompanying the ship can't tell them that, if they know, who wants to follow me out to sea?" Guan Jing and Lu Bing, I didn't let them come back, but let them go south with the ship!"

"You...... What are you going to do? Are you going to send troops to attack the Wa Kingdom? Or ......"

"No, I'm going to find a new land, which is vast and rich, and more importantly, the people in that land are very ignorant and backward, still living in the era of slash-and-burn farming, as long as our soldiers and horses kill it, we will definitely be able to create a new world there. I mentioned these things to Your Majesty a long time ago, and Your Majesty agreed to it."

Zhu Hao stated his purpose.

Shipbuilding was originally intended to open up a great voyage belonging to the Chinese nation, and as for the extermination of pirates and pirates, it was just an excuse.

Now that the imperial court has reactivated Lu Wan, there is Lu Wan, an experienced old minister, who led the troops to pacify the southeast woes, what can he Zhu Hao do?

Originally, Zhu Hao planned to set off with the fleet, but in the end, he still found a Francophone with ocean experience and asked them to be guides, but more through the compass that Zhu Hao had studied, through the steam engine and sails, trying to cross the Pacific Ocean with a huge fleet.

This is Zhu Hao's plan, and I am afraid it is also the ambition that all traversers need to have, after all, the American continent has been discovered by the Europa, and if it is too late, it will be difficult to occupy a place.

Tang Yin sighed: "How many people can you bring to sea? Fewer people don't help at all."

Zhu Hao smiled, "Sir, forgot those firearms I researched? Originally, it was intended to be used in the northwest, but in the past two years, the northwest has been quite peaceful, and the most advanced firearms of the Ming Dynasty are now on those ships, so to speak, there is no local armed force in the same era that can be comparable to my fleet! All I want is to crush!"

"Really? Why did I hear that the weapons possessed by the Francophiles were still very powerful, and the naval forces along the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty fought with them, losing more and winning less, and there was even a case of collapse at the touch of a button."

Tang Yin naturally felt that Zhu Hao was bragging.

Zhu Hao sighed, "Sir, what do you think I've been doing all these years? Are you bent on fighting with Yang Ge Lao and Jiang Ge Lao? It's okay to go to Xishan, Yongping Mansion, or even Tianjin, and put almost all the manpower and material resources on it, do you know how much silver I have at home? Over the years, I have earned more than four million taels of silver, but now all the idle silver around me is not a hundred taels."

"You ......"

Tang Yin was completely convinced.

Especially shocked by the figures reported by Zhu Hao...... Four million taels of silver.

How did Zhu Hao make so much money?

Also, so much silver, Zhu Hao actually used it all to build trains, build railways and

Shipbuilding, weapon-building? That...... It seems like a lot.

Zhu Hao said: "In the next few years, even decades, my footsteps will not stop, I will not stay in the capital as an old-fashioned official, compete with the court, intrigue all the time, and even help His Majesty review and review every day. What does that mean to me?"

"Alas!"

Tang Yin sighed and said faintly, "I can hear it, your heart is not in the court, not even in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Hao smiled: "Sir, what he said is right and not right."

"My heart is in the ocean, but my purpose is to change the Ming Dynasty, what I use is still the fleet and people of the Ming Dynasty, and it is still the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

"Wouldn't it be good if, in a few decades, all the four seas will be the territory of my Ming Dynasty?"

Tang Yin asked coldly, "At that time, you were still willing to be a courtier?"

Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head: "Sir, I don't understand this."

Tang Yin finally understood at this time.

Zhu Hao once used him Tang Yin as a springboard, Xingwangfu as a springboard, and even the emperor as a springboard, and now he wants to use Daming as a springboard...... Zhu Hao's ultimate goal is actually not to listen to anyone's words at all, but to make his own decisions and control everything.

In other words, why is it rare for Zhu Hao to be the first assistant of the cabinet and compete with the ministers for the interests of the emperor? Because his ultimate goal is to dominate everything by himself, even if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is still Zhu Si at that time, he may have to bow down to Zhu Hao.

"Jingdao, your ambition is too big, and once you take a step, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it back."

Tang Yin kindly reminded.

Zhu Hao said, "This involves the question that Mr. has been asking me before...... Sir, since I've come to this point, I don't have to hide it from you, let's be honest, I'm not actually from this era, do you know where I'm from? ...... in a few hundred years"

Tang Yin asked in surprise, "What did you say?"

Zhu Hao got up and said, "From the era, it should be almost five hundred years later. Do you know what has happened in the past 500 years? Times changed, the Ming Dynasty fell, foreign invasions, mountains and rivers fell, and Chinese civilization rose and fell...... These are the future for you, but the past for me."

Tang Yin couldn't express his feelings in words.

Because he knew that Zhu Hao didn't need to deceive him about a dying person in this kind of matter.
