Chapter 505: Meeting the Overseas Princess
Sure enough, he has the demeanor of the prince of the country! Seeing the crown prince and Catherine talking eloquently in Britannica, the crowd couldn't help but sigh: the prince was not only born nobler than all princes,
And he is more studious than all princes.
Before he didn't study under Qin Yu, his study time was eighteen days off every year, except for sleeping, he rested for one or two hours a day, and spent the rest of his time studying.
Among all the princes, and even the whole world, he is the most diligent one.
It's really no one else, there's no comparison.
Not only that, but the crown prince is also benevolent by nature and has a strong ability to govern the government. His Majesty is now cultivating him, often letting him handle some daily government affairs, and he handles them in an orderly manner.
It is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty to have a successor like the crown prince.
Zhu Biao in history is also such a capable prince, assisting Zhu Yuanzhang in governing the government for more than ten years and has never made a mistake, and he should be merciful when doing things.
The decisive one is also unequivocal.
That's why he got the support of almost all the ministers in the court, and all his brothers were convinced of him and didn't have any idea of taking the throne. If the crown prince Zhu Biao did not die young, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be prosperous.
"Father." After a period of conversation, the crown prince Zhu Biao reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, "The British princess said that she was captured by the Ming fleet and sent to the Ming Dynasty. ”
"When those people saw her beauty, they sold her to Xiaoxiang Yuan at a high price."
"Because of the language barrier, she couldn't get in touch with Honglu Temple, and she didn't know that there was such an official office in Daming that was dedicated to receiving foreign envoys."
"I see." Zhu Yuanzhang scolded, "Those Daming fleets that went overseas for exploration are too lawless." actually kidnapped the princesses of other countries, which is simply a loss of the demeanor of my Central Plains ceremonial state. ”
"She's a princess anyway!"
"Your Majesty said yes!" The ministers said, "Treat the envoys of other countries with courtesy, let alone princesses?" ”
I feel that the Ming Dynasty seems to be a little different from the previous Central Plains Dynasty, and as for the specific differences, they can't say.
"Emperor Ming, apologize to you for those who kidnapped you!" Zhu Biao explained to Catherine.
"It's okay." Catherine shook her head with a wry smile, and continued, "Maybe I was taken captive by your people because it was originally God's guidance, otherwise I wouldn't have known that there was such a prosperous and powerful dynasty as the Ming Dynasty in this world. ”
"Your boat can sail on its own without the need for oars. The streets and alleys of Yingtianfu are full of high-rise buildings, one by one carved beams and painted buildings, which are beautiful. ”
"It's like a different world than our low-slung houses in Britain."
"The people of the Ming Dynasty are full of smiles on their faces, as if they don't have any worries in life."
"We, the people of Britain, live all day long in the shadow of war. I can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, and my hungry faces are yellow and thin, and there is no life on my face, just like a group of puppets without thoughts. ”
"Compared with Britain, the Ming Dynasty is like a legendary paradise. And your beautiful buildings are like heavenly pavilions......"
Catherine's feeling when she first arrived in Yingtianfu was the same as when Li Hongzhang arrived in the United States.
When people see a country that is more prosperous and powerful than their own, they will be strongly affected ideologically, and even lose their normal judgment.
For example, Marco Polo went to the Yuan Dynasty, and when he returned, he said to people,
The dynasty of the Central Plains was covered with gold everywhere.
Later, Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, also made him a petty official, and let him return to China and spread the good name of the Yuan Dynasty to Italy.
Seeing Catherine speak a large list of Britannica, Zhu Yuanzhang and the Manchu ministers didn't know what to do, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all focused on the prince.
"The Britannica princess said......" Zhu Biao translated Catherine's words to the crowd.
When the ministers heard this, all of them had satisfied smiles on their faces.
The current development of the Ming Dynasty can make overseas princesses so envious?
Mistaking it for heaven?
And Zhu Yuanzhang is also happy, and his heart is more comfortable than eating ginseng fruit. Just to make people overseas so envious and admire this, his previous efforts are not in vain.
The statecraft that Qin Yu proposed to him was even if it achieved remarkable results.
Before that, he punished corrupt officials, rectified the aristocracy, cracked down on local tyrants and divided the land, eliminated Confucianism, and implemented the public land system...... Although it killed quite a few people, it seemed that it was all worth it.
Because of Catherine's reaction, it has proved the rise of the Yanhuang nation.
And the thoughts of the ministers seem to have quietly changed, and they feel that Qin Yu's advocacy of the Ming Dynasty to establish the country by Tao seems to be really correct. Because at this moment, they also feel a sense of pride.
The pride of being a Ming person.
"Do those who have taken you captives not know that you are a princess of Britain?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again. Before, he had perfunctorily scolded the people in the fleet, but now he was in a good mood and had the mind to rectify the people who were messing around overseas.
When you open up markets overseas, some tough measures are inevitable.
But at least you should treat the princesses of other countries with courtesy, right?
The people who went overseas in the Ming Dynasty could not be as bloody and bloody as the European slaves were captured. Our Chinese fleet went overseas to plunder, at most it dumped porcelain and silk, etc.,
Because we are born with a good heart.
It won't be bottomless like others.
The prince listened to the translation.
"Back to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Catherine said, "They don't know. ”
"Father." Zhu Biao translated in unison and said, "They should be, they really don't know that Catherine is a British princess." ”
"Because this is the first time I discovered the continent of Europa, the Kingdom of Britain. In the past, Daming could find people who could speak Arabic, and that was because of the Arab region, which could be walked there by land. ”
"But Britain is surrounded by oceans."
"Therefore, although the Ming Dynasty is big, not a single person who can speak British can be found."
"The prince is wise!"
"That's supposed to be the reason!"
The ministers listened and seconded the proposal.
At the same time, I also sighed in my heart: the fifth year of Hongwu, it was the Central Plains Dynasty, and the first time the continent of Europa was discovered, which had never been discovered before. But Qin Yu, before people discovered Britain,
I taught the prince and the princes the language there!
Such a person, if you say that he is not an immortal, no one will believe him.
Because this matter is completely impossible for people to explain with common sense. Mr. Qin, it's really an immortal! The crowd whispered in their hearts, but none of them spoke.
