Liu Daxia, Ma Wensheng, Wang Shu, known as the three gentlemen of Hongzhi, and Liu Daxia is even more famous in the government and the opposition, and he is not high-profile, and he is quite stable in his work, but later generations have some different views on this person's evaluation, saying that he is old and serious, saying that he sells his reputation and reputation, and so on.

But the most bragging thing in his life is indeed a little inauthentic, that is, he burned Zheng He's sea charts and the drawings of the lucky boat, as for for selfish desires, or for the sake of the court, it is difficult to say.

However, some people say that Liu Daxia burned not those important charts and drawings of lucky ships, but some inconsequential things, to confuse the truth, after all, those drawings are valuable, who knows when the emperor suddenly remembers, he will not be able to bear it.

Speculation is always speculation, anyway, history is also written by latecomers, how true and how false it is, who can tell the difference, but Zhu Houzhao is different, he knows that the nautical chart and the drawings of the lucky ship are in Liu Daxia's hands, and they have not been burned, if someone else goes to get it, Liu Daxia may still be able to prevaricate and not give it, but if Liu Jin goes, he doesn't want to give it, and he will be tortured by Liu Jin, and then handed it over to him.

Sometimes, the usefulness of bad people is far more effective than some good people, for example, at this time, anyway, the bad things are done by Liu Jin, When something happens, pull Liu Jin out and slaughter him, and calm the anger of the ministers of the government and the opposition, how good it is.

Liu Jin took the people in the palace, a pair of forbidden troops, to the gate of the military department, and commanded; "Remember our family's words, if Liu Daxia is interested in a while, hand over the charts and the drawings of the lucky boat, it's enough, if you don't hand it over, take him down for our family, send him to prison, and then immediately lock up his family and relatives, you must get the drawings and charts for our family before sunset, otherwise you will be careful about your dog's life, have you heard clearly?"

"Father-in-law, don't worry, the children will definitely do a good job for you."

Liu Jin swaggered into the military department with the holy decree and shouted; "When the holy decree arrives, the soldiers still kneel down to listen to the holy decree."

"The Ministry of Ministers and Soldiers, Liu Daxia, Ma Wensheng, long live my emperor."

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the Ming ban on the sea is to prevent coastal troubles, however, since the ban on the sea, the southeast trouble has become more and more intense, the people are not happy, talk about the sea color change, and there are businessmen smuggling overseas, poisoning my coastal villages and towns, I heard this, very distressed, the whole world is not the king's land, I want to be peaceful in the four seas, maritime affairs must not be abolished, when the ancestors, the four seas are served, the eight directions come to the court, I yearn for it, the maritime affairs can not be abolished, the forbidden sea is like abandoning the sea, abandoning the sea such as abandoning the country, it is really a bad government, the future troubles continue, I Ke succeeded to the throne, and felt the prestige of the ancestors, I couldn't sleep at night, I didn't know the taste of food, I was ashamed of my ancestors, but fortunately I woke up, and ordered the military department to write a book, Liu Daxia, and present Zheng He's sea charts, lucky boat drawings, and Qin this. ”

Liu Jin closed the holy decree and handed it to Liu Daxia in person, with a gloomy smile on his lips, and said; "Lord Liu, still don't accept the order?"

Liu Daxia knelt up straight, refused to accept the order, stiffened his neck, looked straight ahead, and when the edict began to say that the sea was for, he knew what Liu Jin was here for, anyway, there was no sea chart.

"Lord Liu, still don't accept the order?" Liu Jin spoke for the second time.

Liu Daxia still hasn't moved, Ma Wensheng and others have already felt that something is wrong, the graphic materials left by Gonggong Zheng have always been kept by Liu Daxia, why didn't Liu Daxia accept the order?

When Liu Jin opened his mouth for the third time, he was no longer polite, but scolded: "Does Lord Liu want to resist the decree?" ”

Ma Wensheng pushed Liu Daxia beside him, and said anxiously for him in his heart; "Lord Liu, Lord Liu, hurry up and take the order."

Liu Daxia snorted coldly, stiffened his neck, and arched his hand; "The nautical charts and the drawings of the lucky ship have been burned, and I can't hand them over."

Ma Wensheng was taken aback, and his heart was shocked, is what you Liu Daxia said true? That's no joke! With his understanding of Liu Daxia, he thinks that Liu Daxia will not lie, so it may be true? But, why did he do this, now the military department is finished.

Liu Jin's face suddenly turned hideous, and he shouted angrily; "Liu Daxia, you are so bold that you actually resisted the decree, are you not afraid of Your Majesty's guilt for the sake of the so-called clear name? In this way, then we can't blame our family, come on, take it, and hand it over to the prison for interrogation. ”

The guards of the forbidden army behind him immediately stepped forward to grab Liu Daxia, Ma Wensheng and the others were shocked, and hurriedly stopped, "Although Lord Liu is guilty, it is not for you to take people, you have your own Majesty's holy judgment, I will enter the palace to please." ”

The guards brought by Liu Jin did not retreat, and the eunuchs under him didn't care anymore, pushed Ma Wensheng away, and said coldly; "If you want to enter the palace, go to the palace, the slaves and maids are with holy decrees, whoever dares to stop them will be imprisoned together, and if you hurt your lords at that time, it is no wonder that the slaves and maids are rude."

"The sea ban can't be opened, Lord Ma, Liu's edict is small, please ask Lord Liu Li Xie to enter the court to see Your Majesty, you must stop this matter, thank you very much." Liu Daxia himself was in trouble, and he had to protect his identity as a direct minister, which really opened the eyes of Liu Jin and others.

If it's them, of course, it's important to save their lives, and any reputation is bullshit.

Liu Jin sneered and said to Liu Daxia; "Lord Liu really has backbone, I don't know if the edict of Jinyiwei can make you think of anything, or can you risk your family's life for your reputation, I don't know if it's worth it?"

When Liu Daxia heard this, he immediately struggled and scolded loudly, "Eunuch thief dares, Liu asked himself worthy of the imperial court, why was he wronged by this catastrophe, it is you and other eunuchs who confuse the saint, Liu Jin, you are a eunuch, disaster to the country and the people, don't you hear Wang Zhenhu, the next one is you, eunuch, eunuch." ”

He was forcibly dragged away, and the six yamen were not far away, looking at everything that happened here, Ma Wensheng and the others were helpless, and hurriedly entered the palace to see the driver, if they went late, I don't know if Lord Liu can survive.

And when Ma Wensheng invited the pilgrimage, he found that His Majesty went to the Queen Mother's place, but he was not there, and the inner palace was not something that foreign ministers could enter at will, unless His Majesty came out, and those damned eunuchs, no matter how he asked to meet, would not help pass the word, just one word, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty are having dinner, just wait for something.

Ma Wensheng instantly understood, this must be what His Majesty meant, Liu Daxia is in danger, there is no way, he is an honest man, and he can't see death without help, so he had to go and change to the cabinet, when he came, Liu Li Xie The three adults had already been called into the inner palace early, gave a table for the imperial banquet, and dined with the three adults.

Your Majesty wants the drawings of the sea charts and the lucky boat, if you don't get it, you won't stop, the sea ban, for a hundred years, the ban has been opened, why is Liu Daxia doing this, how can Your Majesty be so easy to stop.

And in the inner palace, the three elders have reached a consensus with Zhu Houzhao, because Zhu Houzhao's proposal made them moved, there is a grain of twenty stones per mu overseas, which is also terrible, if His Majesty didn't say it himself, they would never believe it, at least not completely believe it now, although they doubted, they were willing to give it a try, if they really found that kind of crop, no one in the future Daming would be hungry, it was a great achievement in the future.

When it comes to their status, what do they care about, not money, nor high-ranking officials, but the clear name behind them, posthumously given the nickname, Wenzheng, that is the highest honor of the literati, just two words, can represent your merits and glory.

"The three Qing families, this is a divine object given to me by God, with potatoes, hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty will never starve to death again, and the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty will really come." Zhu Houzhao himself became more and more excited the more he talked.

Several Liu Li Xie and the three elders who were fooled by him into agreeing to build a ship and open the sea were also fooled and lame, dizzy, as if the prosperous world was in front of them, and they agreed to follow Zhu Houzhao to build a ship and open the sea together, but when they walked outside the palace gate, Ma Wensheng looked at them eagerly, and a cold wind blew, they were sober, dazed, what am I doing, who am I?

When Ma Wensheng eagerly explained his intentions, the three pavilion elders were just about to turn around, the time for the palace ban came, the two heavy palace doors rumbled and closed, and infinite resentment rose in Liu Jian and Xie Qian's hearts, Your Majesty has calculated everything! Don't give them the slightest chance.

Li Dongyang smiled helplessly; "Liu Daxia himself sought a straight name, and the blame was taken by himself, but he hurt his family and relatives, today, Your Majesty has even calculated us and others, and the opening of the sea is a foregone conclusion, I still have to cooperate with Your Majesty, Liu Daxia can't die for the time being, let's talk about it after a while."

Ma Wensheng replied helplessly; "What Li Gong said makes sense, but there is no entry or exit from that edict."

Xie Qian laughed at himself with a deflated face; "Your Majesty's mind is unpredictable, and he even counted the three of me, hehe, think about the time of the first emperor, alas, forget it, go back!"

Liu Jian looked at the closed palace gate, and could imagine that behind the palace gate, His Majesty was proud of his masterpiece, wasn't this how it was done before? A sad face.

"Gong Liu, Gong Xie, don't worry, Your Majesty just wants to get the charts and the drawings of the lucky boat, as long as we persuade Lord Liu to hand it over, Your Majesty will definitely not be embarrassed by Lord Liu when he finally has the steps, as for those things, I think, as long as Lord Liu is not stupid, they should all be still there, hidden by him, instead of begging Your Majesty for mercy, it is better to ask for that Mu Bin, you see?"

Li Dongyang is Li Dongyang, the solution to the problem is to make it easy, Li Gong is good at making decisions and scheming, Liu Gong is decisive, Xie Qian is upright, the three dukes have their own characteristics, and they are speechless when they encounter the rogue methods of His Majesty the Emperor.

Liu Jin had already come back to restore his life, and he didn't use any cruel means, and he hadn't forced a confession yet, anyway, he got the information from Liu Daxia and came back happily.

As for Liu Daxia, he is not as tough as he imagined, he thought that people could carry it more, when Liu Jin brought his family members to him one by one, holding a red-hot soldering iron, dangling in front of his young son, the cry of the young son made Liu Daxia collapse, Jin Yiwei He is not afraid, he is not afraid of his prison in the Criminal Department, and even Fan Ting in Dongchang can't let him be afraid, only Liu Jin makes him afraid, this dead eunuch simply has no bottom line of being a human being.

In order to please the prince, he did not hesitate to carry the black pot for the prince, and was beaten half to death by the first emperor of Hongzhi, if it wasn't for the prince's intercession, this guy would have been killed, but the prince has also regarded Liu Jin as a confidant since that time, this person has become more and more domineering, relying on the prince's favor is simply lawless, and he will be retribution, some evil things, others may have some scruples about doing it, but he won't, because he knows Liu Jin's personality, so Liu Daxia has confessed all without reservation.

He knew that His Majesty would not reuse him anymore, and he didn't want to think about the official reinstatement, it was a great luck not to die, not to mention that he had offended Liu Jin to death and became a thorn in his side, even if His Majesty spared him, Liu Jin would not let him go, it didn't matter if he died, but what about his family...

Zhu Houzhao impatiently stepped forward, Liu Jin handed over a large number of materials, the most exciting thing for him was the drawings of the Fu Ship, which was the largest giant ship in the world at that time, even if a hundred years have passed, if it is built now, it is still the first in the world, and when the Spanish three-masted sailing ship appears, it will be a few decades later, the Fu Ship is a nine-masted giant ship, the hull alone is nearly 100 meters, 13 zhang high, and the full load displacement is close to 3000 tons.

The drawings opened, and when he really saw the panorama of the Fu Boat, he really realized what the real technology was, and how terrible the wisdom of the ancient craftsmen was, Zhu Houzhao gasped: "Hey, this and this, this is the Fu Boat?" ”
