I am the king of the dead

Chapter 464 Let Your Majesty Benefit the Ship!

During the Chinese New Year holidays, the emperor would issue an order to cancel the curfew, and the capital was very lively that night.

Daming also has regulations on the setting off of fireworks, mainly to prevent fires, so on the day of the Chinese New Year, firecrackers are not allowed in the East City and West City.

Everyone covered them with iron rods and hung them on the door. When entering and leaving, they had to hit the iron rods to make a loud noise.

Throwing iron rods, hitting straight and rampaging, Ji Ji pendant, just like people burning firecrackers on New Year's Eve, it is really a match for the opponent, and the outcome is hard to tell, resounding through the streets.

On the North Street of Qingqingfang where Tai'an Palace is located, it is called Dengshi, where a huge Aoshan lantern was erected.

According to legend, in the ocean to the east of the Bohai Sea, there are five fairy mountains: Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai. These five fairy mountains are carried by giant turtles in the sea.

The street of Lantern City is the place where lanterns are sold during the Chinese New Year, and it is very lively.

Aoshan, the mountain of lights, has been tied with colorful paintings since the winter solstice. On New Year's Eve, when the Tai'an Palace on His Majesty's side is empty of people celebrating the new year, the Aoshan lights on the other side are immediately lit up.

Ao Mountain is about 360 feet high and 24 steps wide. There are two Ao pillars in the middle, [-] feet long, with golden dragons wrapped around them, and a burning lamp in its mouth, which are called double dragons.

In previous years, Aoshan Lantern was the brightest lantern in the Ming Dynasty.

However, everyone who visited the Lantern City this year suddenly discovered that a brighter lantern appeared in front of the gate of Tai'an Palace.

Taking a closer look, it was Ming Gong Hu Wei holding the light oil lamp given by His Majesty, waiting to be summoned.

The Minggong of Ming Dynasty became the literal Minggong.

Really very bright.

When Hu Wei carried the light oil lamp and headed towards Tai'an Palace, it almost lit up the whole street.

After the curfew was lifted, the people wandering around Dengshikou watched dully as Hu Wei walked into the Tai'an Palace.

The Minister of Rites is responsible for part of the foreign affairs, such as sorting out the tributes of the past dynasties.

The tributes of the various vassal states are in a mess, including maidens, fish oil, swords, crystals, sulfur, sumac, cowhide, spices, medicinal materials, lacquerware, rare and exotic animals, and so on.

But these seafood are not rare items. The emperor has them, and most of the luxurious and luxurious houses also have them.

But it was the first time I saw such a bright light.

Hu Yi took out the new Tang book and the old Tang book. The old Tang book was compiled by the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. In the era of frequent wars, the quality of the old Tang book is really not flattering.

The new book of Tang was completed in 17 years by Song Qi, Ouyang Xiu and others in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Ouyang Xiu is the leader of Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal.

Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal was not peaceful from the beginning, because Song Renzong had no children.

Song Renzong's only child who did not die at birth was his second son, Zhao Xin, who died in the first year of Qingli.

The emperor has no heirs, it is abandoned by heaven, it is immoral.

Song Renzong's childlessness kept Song Renzong in a passive state.

However, in the Song Dynasty, the three redundant officials, redundant staff, and redundant soldiers have become serious diseases, and it is time to change.

Among the reformers of the Qingli New Deal, they also couldn't exert their energy in one direction.

Amidst the huge wave of opposition, Song Renzong became hesitant, and the conservatives quickly discovered Song Renzong's hesitation and created more wind.

In the end, Song Renzong was forced to abandon the Qingli New Deal.

After Fan Zhongyan lost the support of the emperor, the New Deal was quickly and comprehensively defeated.

The new Tang book compiled by Ouyang Xiu and others has also become the target of criticism, and more than 400 mistakes and omissions from the old Tang book have been singled out.

Killing and punishing one's heart is not only Zhu Qiyu's unique skill, the literati of the Song Dynasty are also very good at it.

Song Renzong had no choice but to recognize the old Tang book, which had been discarded, as the official history of the Tang Dynasty.

So there is an example of the new Tang book and the old Tang book being the official history of the Tang Dynasty.

Song Renzong had no heirs, and after the death of his only three-year-old child, Song Renzong fell into complete passivity.

This is exactly the same as Ming Dynasty Zong's experience.

Ming Dynasty Zong's son Zhu Jianji died, and he has never had a child. He is passive and constrained everywhere.

The DPRK and the Chinese Communist Party were full of misfortunes, and finally the people were panicked, and the speculators finally launched a brazen move to seize the door.

A son is one of the emperor's bargaining chips. Whether it is a legitimate son or a concubine, as long as there is one, there is a successor.

Without a son, even the die-hard royal party has to weigh up, support the emperor to the death, and be determined to innovate, what will happen in the end.

So Zhu Qiyu only lived in Tai'an Palace.

Palace?

Whoever loves to live lives, as long as he dares.

Anyway, Zhu Qiyu couldn't live.

The imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty and the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty are the same, and they are not safe.

As soon as Zhu Di moved the capital, two of the three main halls were burned down. During Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, even the Qianqing Palace was set ablaze, saying that the fire was caused by firecrackers.

Zhu Qiyu signaled Xing'an to turn on the bright light oil lamp, and looked at the old papers and books brought by Hu Wei.

He put down the old and new Tang books, and said with emotion: "It's really since ancient times."

The westward advance of the Turkic people didn't mean that they also brought the Oirats first, taking advantage of the emperor's southward march, so that they could organize their forces in their spare time and advance westward in an orderly manner.

They also first went to the Western Regions to become the king and hegemony, and they went to the khan position of the Golden Horde.

The Turks were beaten away by Datang.

The main tribes are Tuqishi, Ogus, Geluolu, Qincha, Karaji, Yangmo, Chuyue and other tribes.

The Tuqishi Khanate is the Khanate that took the important town of Suiye City from Tang Xuanzong.

The Turks ran too far and couldn't catch up, so the Tang Dynasty simply canonized their khanate.

This is how the nine surnames of Zhaowu came from.

Hulumos, that is, Ogus, is a pronunciation that means arrow clusters.

Nine surnamed Ugus used to live near the Yili River, but when the Tang Dynasty came, they had no choice but to leave.

"That's why they really have a place where oil flows when you stomp your feet...Oil, from the coal, leaks out, accumulates in the ground, and gradually becomes a pool, and occasionally it is drilled by a chisel, and then it rises like a spring. "Zhu Qiyu finished reading this passage.

Drill a hole and the oil will blow out like a blowout.

Daming is just a Yanchang County, and it has to be drilled to a depth of [-] feet, and [-] catties of light oil can be harvested a year.

The first oil well in the United States is only 22 meters deep, which is not much different from ordinary water wells.

Hu Wei took out another pile of books and put them on the table and said: "Your Majesty, Xuanweisi in the old port also has oil. It is a low-lying place, and it is similar to this one. The chiseler drills a hole, and the upper reaches are like a spring."

"This is "Ya Guan Ji" written by Chen Liangshao, "Hua Yi Sheng Lan" written by Kuang Yu, this is "Ying Ya Sheng Lan" written by Ma Huan, and this is "Xing Cha Sheng Lan" written by Fei Xin. This is "Western Fan Guo Zhi" written by Gong Zhen."

Hu Wei released five books, saying that he was not talking nonsense.

He thoughtfully turned the books to where he wanted to point them.

Chen Liangshao and Kuang Yu were doctors accompanying Zheng He on his voyages to the West. They both described in their books that local people in Java used asphalt and heavy oil to treat mange.

Ma Huan, the third, fourth, and seventh trips of Zheng He's fleet, was also the translator.

Fei Xin, the General Instructor of the Ming Dynasty Ocean Fleet, is mainly responsible for translating and recording humanities.

Gong Zhen is the head of the general system and Zheng He's own secretary.

"Are these five people still there?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the five books in his hands, all of which were manuscripts. Obviously, they were all orphan books that had not been widely published.

It took Hu a lot of effort to make these books.

Moreover, some of the words and sentences above have been modified, obviously after Hu Wei's research.

Hu Min said regretfully: "Only Ma Huan is still alive, and the rest are old and have passed away."

"I have an old relationship with Chen Liangshao and Kuang Yu, two doctors, so after they passed away, I got their books."

"Ma Huan's book was written in the second year of Jingtai. He came to the capital to look for it to be printed, but he couldn't find it, so I temporarily accepted it."

Obviously, these five books were not included in the Ancient and Modern Tongji Library, because most of these books were written between the Xuande period and the Zhengtong period.

Under the general trend of promoting literature and military affairs and suppressing maritime trade, this kind of book is obviously a prohibited book and cannot be published.

In the ninth year of Zhengtong, Zhu Qizhen once asked Fuzhou Tong Zhi Guo Yan to lead the Eight Houses and build 120 sea-going ships. Zhu Qizhen himself wanted to go south to the West, after all, domestic funds were increasingly scarce.

It goes without saying who didn't want these books to come out, and they all gathered in Hu's hands in the end.

"Is Ma Huan still in the capital?" Zhu Qiyu nodded and asked.

Hu Wei hurriedly said: "Here, I will cooperate with the head of the Imperial Academy and the Governor of the Great Qin State Nicolaus to translate the Great Qin State's documents."

"They are all good books." Zhu Qiyu patted the five books, and said to Xing'an: "Xing'an, take these five books to make plates, print them all, and send them to the bureaus of various cities for study."

"The minister leads the decree." Xing'an took the five books and flipped through them.

After discussing a few words with Hu Wei, the kerning of the engraving and the examination of the school, he learned that Hu Ying had already passed all of them for the school examination, so Xing'an was solemnly handed over to Xiao Huangmen who was waiting in the imperial study room, and he gave many instructions. .

It must be sent to the Imperial Study Room of Tai'an Palace, one copy to the Ancient and Modern Tongji Library, dozens of copies to the six official offices, and a hundred copies each to Mizhou, Ningbo, Yuegang, and Guangzhou.

Then print another [-] copies and sell them in major bookstores.

Hu Wei said very solemnly: "Your Majesty, let's build a ship, Fu Chuan, the three-masted ship is too small."

"Even if it's for Daming's family to have a bright light."

This is not within the scope of Hu Wei's authority. He is only a minister of the Ministry of Rites, but every household has a bright light. Isn't it the law of etiquette?
Hu Wei didn't know, he saw the expectant eyes at Dengshikou, even in the most benevolent place in the capital, when he walked through the streets and alleys with that bright lamp, the surprise, envy and longing in the eyes of the people, It was the motive of Hu Yan to say these words.

In the dark night where you can't see your fingers, except for the stars and the bright moon, only lamps can cut through the darkness of the eternal night.

What the people want is the end of the state.

Isn't the pursuit of the people the direction that the country should move forward?

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Hu Shangshu, once your words get out, I'm afraid you will be impeached."

Hu Wei said indifferently: "A subject has no virtue."

After admitting that he has no virtue, Hu Wei discovered that no virtue equals invincibility!
It is useless to impeach him with virtue, as one in the court counts as one, and he cannot be criticized against him.

The Feng Xianyan officer can only be wronged.

The Royal Study Room of Tai'an Palace is full of joyful atmosphere.

"Li Binyan is supervising the shipbuilding. Now it's mainly warships. We'll wait for the Fuchuan. At least we'll have to wait until there are more warships, so that the sailors can start training."

"At least our filial son of the Ming Dynasty, the Ryukyu Kingdom, will no longer be bullied by pirates and pirates, so the matter of the lucky boat can be done."

"Not urgent."

The stride is too big, and it is easy to pull the crotch.

How many people were in the shadows, gnashing their teeth, waiting for Zhu Qiyu to take bigger steps, so as to show his flaws.

The government-run shipyard of the Ming Dynasty is being restored. The warships must be built first. After the military victory, there will be a political victory. After the political victory, there will be an economic victory.

Xing'an sent Hu Mei away, and whispered to Hu Mei a few more times.

Xing'an said in a low voice: "Our Majesty doesn't have any favorite things. In the past, we were good at arty, reciting poems and composing poems. Now that the state affairs are heavy, we don't have that leisure time."

"Now Your Majesty also likes books, and there are some obscene gadgets. If Hu Shangshu still has such books, he must not hide them."

Hu Wei thought that Xing'an was going to say something, but it turned out to be this matter. He nodded and said, "I still have some lonely copies. When the exam is over, I will send them to His Majesty. I will wait for the court meeting. I still have a few books. Several books have been translated.”

"They're all math books."

Xing'an's eyes brightened: "You are good at arithmetic, Your Majesty likes it very much."

Hu Wei bid farewell to Xing'an, carried his own lamp, hummed a little song, and headed for the mansion.

Even if the subterranean oil fields in Java were controlled by Daming, it would be enough for every household in Daming to afford lamp oil.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the Kanyu map, which is very deformed, especially when it involves overseas, it is even more distorted.

For example, North Korea, Japan, and Luzon are too big.

The territory of the Java State, in the south of Borneo, lies a very narrow Java Sea.

It is the Majapahit who swallowed the Xuanweisi of the old port of the Ming Dynasty, controlled the Strait of Malacca, and controlled the important routes of Ming Dynasty's access to the West.

Ran Siniang entered Tai'an Palace on the seventh day of the first lunar month. Empress Wang, the third wife, Tang Guifei, Hangxian Concubine, and Li Guiren all expressed their welcome, which made Chen Wanniang look even more lonely.

Because Chen Wanniang was not welcomed by Tai'an Palace, the main reason was that she was born in the world of fireworks, and she hadn't seen her pregnancy for a long time.

His Majesty still dotes on her very much, but she has not been pregnant for a long time, and Li Guiren has already complained a little.

Ran Siniang is from a decent family. Although she is from the Ran family of Bozhou Tusi, the Ran family is Han Chinese, and has been since Tang Dynasty.

Ran Siniang and Chen Wanniang had a good relationship, which finally made the peaceful harem a little turbulent.

On Yihai day of the first lunar month, Tianming Festival will come again.

Outside Desheng Gate, Zhu Qiyu started the Tianming Festival parade and martial arts performance of the Ming Dynasty.

The martial arts performance this time is different from the previous ones. The theme this time is still to show the strong army of the Ming Dynasty, but the focus is not on confrontation and display, but mainly on martial arts performance.

Propagating the training results of the Ming army, one square formation per thousand people, displaying the Ming's long and short soldiers, bows, firecrackers, chariots, and cavalry skills, mainly to demonstrate the training results.

After Zhu Qiyu finished reading the big reading, he went to Fengtian Hall.

Today I will receive envoys from various countries.

The first envoy Zhu Qiyu wanted to meet was naturally the Governor Nicolaus from Rome.

Accompanying Nikolaoz to the hall were Wu Jing, head of the Imperial Academy, and Ma Huan, general translator.

　"Ya Guan Ji" by Chen Liangshao and "Hua Yi Sheng Lan" by Kuang Yu have been scattered, and the other three books are still available.Today's first change, asking for a monthly ticket! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
