"Your Majesty, the elixir of immortality is really illusory and unbelievable. Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty searched for decades and couldn't find it, and His Majesty sent Tang He to find it? In vain, it will only waste countless money and grain of the state. Lu Chang, the head of the household department, stood up and said, "Therefore, the old minister believes that this matter will not be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and will only increase the burden on the people." ”

"Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty has just been established, and the treasury is empty. And Your Majesty is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, there is really no need to go to sea to find the elixir of immortality. The crown prince and young Fu Gao Qi said.

"The two said that the treasury was empty? Increase the burden on the people? Zhu Yuanzhang sneered when he heard this, "Lu Chang, is the Ming treasury empty now?" How do we remember that I just borrowed 50 million taels of silver from you the day before yesterday? ”

"As for increasing the burden on the people, it is even more nonsense. We use our own money, what does it matter to the people? ”

Since making money, Zhu Yuanzhang has spoken a lot harder, and when people are rich, they speak much louder. Unlike before, if he wants to use some money from the treasury, he has to look at the face of the head of the household. Even if Lu Chang didn't dare to stand up against the emperor's majesty, he would put on a face that was unwilling and unwilling, like an angry little daughter-in-law.

"Lu Chang, among the ministers, you should not stand up against us, because you still owe us money."

"Old minister, old minister......" Lu Chang was speechless for a moment and quietly retreated.

……

"Your Majesty, even if Your Majesty uses his own money, does not increase the burden of the people and does not use the treasury money, the minister also feels that it is not possible at this time." Zheng Guogong Changmao stood up and said, "Because Your Majesty can't find it at all." That Yingzhou Immortal Island, Xu Fu has been looking for decades without results, let alone Tang He? Therefore, the end result of this matter must be futile. ”

After finishing speaking, he continued: "I remember that later, Xu Fu fled to the Wa Kingdom for fear of being punished by the First Emperor, and the matter of looking for immortal medicine was over. ”

What he meant was that he was afraid that the emperor would force Tang He to be in a hurry, so he also followed Xu Fu and led the fleet to flee to the Wa Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that it is impossible to let Zhongshan wait for the soup and go to sea." Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong said, "And His Majesty also asked Tang Shuai to catch big fish, which is a bit ......."

Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong and Tang He have a very good relationship, they are both Huaixi people and have been born and died together, he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was suspected of humiliating Tang He by doing this, so he stood up to speak for him.

"Do you think it's inappropriate?" Seeing that the crowd was finished talking, Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Please take back your order!" Song Lian took the lead in kneeling, and immediately the crowd knelt down one after another, and all the members expressed their opposition.

Only Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen did not express their opinions, and the two old fritters waited in the court to see what happened. Ever since Emperor Zhu met 'that man', he has often acted unexpectedly. The first time he refuted all the ministers to the point that he was incomplete, and the second time was to make a lot of money for the imperial court. With the lessons of the first two times, they can't afford to be fooled a third time.

"Who said that we let Tang He go to sea to find Yingzhou Immortal Island, and who said that we wanted to find the elixir of immortality?" Sure enough, at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, "We already know the location of Yingzhou Immortal Island, and sending Tang He to go is just to occupy Immortal Island, not to look for it." ”

Call! Call!

Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this: Sure enough, Emperor Zhu's actions exceeded everyone's expectations. If they had just stood up and opposed it with the ministers, I am afraid that they would have left a bad impression on the emperor again.

However, the emperor already knew about the location of Yingzhou Immortal Island, which still shocked them. There are immortals living on Yingzhou Immortal Island, and the emperors of the previous dynasties have been looking for thousands of years in vain, how did Emperor Zhu find it?

I remember that he hadn't sent a sailor to sea recently.

"Berwyn, do you think this is credible?" Li Shanchang asked in a low voice.

"I can't say." Liu Bowen said, "If it were changed before, I would definitely think that it was nonsense, after all, the emperors of the past dynasties have not found it for thousands of years." But there is a master behind His Majesty, so I can't say for sure. ”

"No matter how powerful that person is, it is impossible to know Yingzhou, it is an immortal living on Immortal Island." Li Shan said.

"Since Yingzhou Immortal Island is known as Immortal Island, it is naturally comparable to ordinary mountains. Now that we know its location, of course, we must include it in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang continued,

"There is an immortal island in the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it increase my Ming national fortune!? It's really a little bit of a rat to stop you like this. ”

The emperor knows the location of Yingzhou Immortal Island!?

When the ministers heard this, they were shocked one by one.

Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to search for decades but did not find it, it has been thousands of years ago, how did His Majesty know?

"Why, don't you believe me?" Seeing the expressions of the ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't believe it. It's really because of this, it's too unbelievable! Song Lian said.

"Unbelievable, isn't it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, a group of frogs at the bottom of the well who have not seen it, and the rats are bright-eyed, "Okay, let's let you have a long experience." ”

"Two Tigers!"

When Erhu heard this, he immediately took out a huge scroll. Then he and the deacon and eunuch Jin Liyuan divided one side and opened it.

Soon, a huge map appeared in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. It is five meters long and three meters wide. Such a huge map can be seen clearly even if the ministers stand in the distance.

What is it?

It's like a map!

The crowd froze.

"Your Majesty, what kind of map is this? Minister, I have never seen it. Liu Bowen was also surprised and said.

"This is a map of the world, and you haven't seen it before." Zhu Yuanzhang said, took out a long stick and pointed at the map, "This place is my Ming territory." And Yingzhou Immortal Island is in this location, and Tang He can reach it as long as he leads the sailor to sail diagonally upward. ”

"It's located just below the Goryeo Peninsula, and there are no islands along the way. Tang He led the water division over, and there would not be many twists and turns. ”

After some pointing, the ministers were dumbfounded.

"It turns out that the emperor has long been in his chest, and we are short-sighted." Song Lian was finally convinced and said.

"Incorporating Yingzhou Xiandao into the territory of the Ming Dynasty will indeed greatly increase the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not too laborious, of course, it must be occupied quickly, and the small country of Goryeo cannot be allowed to seize the opportunity." Gao Qi said, "It's the ministers who misunderstood Your Majesty just now, and asked Your Majesty to condemn you." ”

"Yes, yes, Xiandao must be occupied, and it can't be left to a small country in Fanbang."

"Yingzhou is a fairy island! With Xiandao in town, the Ming Dynasty will surely be for thousands of generations. The ministers chimed in.

"Those who don't know are not to blame." Seeing Gao Qi admit his mistake and the ministers seconded the proposal, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of smiles.

I pretended to be in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs again, and I felt very comfortable.
