Wang Sanbao, whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter, stepped forward quickly, with a little anxiety on his face, reached out and grabbed Wang Siqi's left hand and said bluntly: "Follow our family into the palace, and say these words you said to our family today to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely agree with your idea!" ”

What kind of friendship can be compared to real interests, even a eunuch like Wang Sanbao can be very keenly able to hear from Wang Siqi's words, and in the palace where interests are paramount between people, he can sit in such a position today.

Wang Sanbao naturally understands that the same logic is between countries.

"Into the palace? Right now? ”

"That's right! It's now, let's go to the palace with our family right away. ”

When he said this, Wang Siqi felt that the temperament of Wang Sanbao's whole person had changed in an instant, and the original feminine feeling had dissipated.

There was light in those eyes.

"If so... Let's go! But.. Since they are all here in Qinhuai River, don't play and leave? Wang Siqi was joking, Wang Sanbao's face instantly darkened a lot, and he pretended to be angry and slapped Wang Siqi with his hand, "Don't make fun of our family!" Don't waste time! ”

As a result, the warmth on the banks of the Qinhuai River did not last long.

Wang Siqi entered the palace with Wang Sanbao, walking vigorously, and there was no missing piece of his body on Wang Sanbao's body.

"I met the emperor as soon as I saw it. Just according to what you will say to our family, don't say what you shouldn't say, going to the West is not a trivial matter, but if you say the wrong thing, there will be our family for you! ”

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Wang Sanbao didn't know how many times Wang Siqi had met the emperor, but when he saw Wang Siqi hesitating, he thought he was afraid.

These words.

made Wang Siqi feel a little strange about the eunuch in front of him, although Wang Sanbao always called himself an old slave in front of Zhu Di, but in fact he was not too old.

Otherwise, Zhu Di would not have let such a eunuch go to sea with confidence.

But Wang Siqi saw something different from ordinary eunuchs in him, this kind of thing can often be seen a few times among the civil officials in the court, but there are not too many of them.

I thought about it for a long time and didn't know how to describe it.

Perhaps, it's called magnanimity.

The sunset follows like a shadow, and in the huge palace, one in front and one behind, two figures are walking non-stop.

...

"The Emperor.. The old slave heard something he had never heard of here from Lord Wang today, and felt that he should be brought to meet the emperor. ”

Wang Sanbao's words made Zhu Di's face full of curiosity.

But he had a little smile on his face, and he didn't reprimand why he rushed into the palace when it was getting late, Wang Sanbao served by his side for many years, and he still knew that Zhu Di still had this.

Turning his head, Zhu Di looked at Wang Siqi and said: "I know that it is a good thing to go to you to learn scriptures, it seems that your kid has made some shocking remarks, which shocked the prince a lot." ”

"It just so happens that I'm also idle at this time, tell me to listen to it, and see if it's that powerful."

"Then the minister had the audacity to say some of his humble opinions today."

As soon as the words fell, Wang Siqi began to retell the previous conversation with Wang Sanbao, but he cut out the paragraph taking the Qinhuai River as an example, and bluntly explained that if the imperial court could trade with the South Seas by going to the West, it would be able to maximize its benefits.

After listening.

Zhu Di pondered for a long time, but did not speak for a long time.

It's just that looking at Wang Siqi's eyes, there is a little more softness, as an emperor, he always loves talents, especially a wise person like Zhu Di.

After the martyrdom, in order to calm the pen of the people and inkmen in the world, in order to block the visible and invisible people's mouths.

Zhu Di reopened the northern expedition and raised troops to attack Mengyuan in the north, and the Ming Dynasty had one more slave to do the capital, and Mengyuan had no intention and did not dare to go south repeatedly; Repair the book "Yongle Canon", since the book deed, all scriptures, history, children, collections, hundred schools, astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medicine, divination, monks, Taoism, skills of the book are all included; The southern expedition to Annam, the tribute is endless, and only the Ming Dynasty is the mainstay.

The emperor is also a human being, Zhu Di boasts that he is not as good as the three emperors and five emperors, and he does not dare to call himself the most virtuous king in history, but he just wants to tell everyone... It is right to be the emperor yourself.

Compared with the beginning, Zhu Di's voice was a little hoarse after he spoke again, and there was a little more look in his eyes, and after looking at Wang Siqi, he said leisurely: "Have you ever said this to anyone other than me and the prince?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, no."

nodded, Zhu Di's eyes were a little more kind: "Wang You, that guy can have a son like you, it's really his blessing!" You are much better than your father, he is a big old man who knows how to manipulate soldiers, and now is the time to sit in the country, not to fight the country. ”

"If you don't know how to govern the country, you can't do it just by knowing how to fight!"

Then, Zhu Di looked at Wang Sanbao on the side and said: "I'm not wrong, this kid is not only doing business to make money, but also slowing down the matter of going to Nanyang... Wait until I go north to make a decision. ”

"The old slave obeys!"

As if thinking of something, Zhu Di suddenly looked at Wang Siqi again.

"I also have a question that I would like to hear your opinion, is it right for me to go north this time?"

Wang Siqi didn't answer immediately, just because, according to history, the Ming Dynasty's several large-scale northern expeditions were not now, but in the distant future.

Of course, there is only one main reason, there is no money.

The secondary reason is that as the Ming Dynasty gradually focused on the people's livelihood, the imperial court tax and grain surged to more than 30 million stones, which also attracted the covetousness of the remnants of the Northern Mengyuan forces.

"You can go north, but the emperor can't go."

Wang Siqi's answer was concise and to the point, just a few words, but it made Zhu Di's expression take a 180-degree spiral turn.

"Tell me why."

"The most vulgar truth is that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the simple truth is that the matter of the Northern Expedition should not become the priority of the imperial court, and the important task of the imperial court should be to follow the people's livelihood.

"What's more, to deal with Meng Yuan, it's better to be in the business field than in the battlefield!"

Since everyone thinks that he is a businessman who is good at making money, Wang Siqi might as well continue this image.

After all, in all dynasties, any emperor will suspect those who are in high positions, those who hold military power in their hands, those who are familiar with hundreds of classics and those who form parties for personal gain, and at any time will not suspect a businessman who loves money like his life, after all, compared to the imperial power and the imperial court.

The merchant looks like a walking vault in any way, without posing any threat.

"Hahaha! Your reasoning is simple, but I don't understand it... Is it possible to do business, and they will be able to control Meng Yuan and let them put away their wolf ambitions! So that they don't dare to go south? ”

"Speak out loud, I won't blame you!"

At this moment, Zhu Di is more like a teacher waiting for the student's answer, whether it is right or wrong, it is a good result, after all, he is the only one who is the real decider.
