Borrow the day to change the day

In the afternoon of the same day, a meeting of six ministries and nine ministers and the cabinet was held in the Wenhua Palace, and the feudal overseas feudal affairs of the vassal king's clan was officially put on the agenda.

Zhong Jinwei stood at the head of the hundred officials, and the rest of the officials lined up on both sides. Between them was a screen with a fake world map hanging on it.

Many of these officials have never seen this world map, and they were surprised that the map is so detailed, and even the dots of islands in the sea are marked there.

Because of the existence of the map, many people began to guess what the theme of the meeting was, and they all showed curious expressions on their faces.

As soon as the meeting started, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet, and said, "Qing Wen, please introduce to all the ministers first."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wen Tiren agreed, stood up from Yu Ci's seat, walked to the map and stood still, ready to speak.

When the other courtiers saw it, it turned out that the first assistant already knew about it.It seems that the emperor announced the matter after discussing with the first assistant. Judging by the momentum, it should be a big event.

"My colleagues, a few days ago we discussed the matter of the King of Tang. According to Zhongxing Hou's suggestion and His Majesty's approval, there is now a proper policy. It's just a matter of great importance, so we hereby discuss it." Wen Tiren seemed calm at this time, announcing without haste road.

When the others heard this, they thought to themselves that this was the case, and it seemed that it was not so serious!Isn't it just a vassal king? After the cabinet discusses it, it will be made directly with a decree.Is it necessary to be so grand about the matter of the vassal king?

In the minds of most of them, the current clan of vassal kings is, to put it mildly, just a pig raised by Daming.

But they were immediately shocked by Wen Tiren's next words: "Da Ming's national policy towards the clans of feudal princes will undergo major changes. In the future, all clans of feudal princes will be feudal overseas. For now, it is mainly North America."

When Wen Tiren said this, he turned sideways and pointed at North America with a thin stick that had been prepared on one side, and drew a circle to show others that it was this place.

At this moment, the Wenhua Palace was shocked at first, and then, regardless of order, they approached the world map one after another and began to look at it.

It has never been possible to feudalize the clan of the vassal kings outside the Ming Dynasty.

And where is North America, they are very curious and want to see clearly where it is.

The assistant minister Qian Xiangkun is close to the screen, although he is old, he is still healthy.Therefore, he looked at North America up close, and then asked his student Wen Tiren in doubt: "This place is not the land of the Ming Dynasty, how can I let the royal family of the Ming Dynasty feud it here?"

He Ruchong, Minister of Rites who is in charge of the clan's mansion, listened to Wen Tiren's answer with great concern because this matter related to his own power.

Wen Tiren didn't answer this question right away, but said to his teacher: "Teacher Qian, wait a moment, and the students will explain in detail later."

Qian Xiangkun understood that he was in a hurry, and now is not the time to talk about things.After reading the map, he returned to his seat and sat down, waiting for Wen Tiren's explanation.

Zhong Jinwei saw a large group of people in their [-]s and [-]s gathered around the screen, pointing at the map, like elementary school students seeing something strange, talking a lot, and feeling a little funny in his heart.Some commonalities of human beings, such as the current curiosity about new things, are similar to those of adults, children and the elderly.

However, there are still differences due to different ages. These people did not wait for Shoufu's further explanation before returning to their positions.

Wen Tiren glanced at his teacher, and said, "This is North America, which is now a land without owners. There are only some primitive tribes, living a life of drinking blood and bare hair. But the land is fertile and the products are rich. Everyone Colleagues can take a look, the location of this place is actually quite similar to that of Daming, so it can be seen..."

Before Wen Tiren could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Qian Xiangkun, an assistant minister of the cabinet: "Shoufu, how did you know that the place far away from the ocean is fertile and rich in products, but it is only occupied by low-level barbarians?"

He was the oldest and a mature and prudent person. Just now, after looking at the map, he felt that it was unreliable to be so far away from Daming. Hearing Wen Tiren's detailed explanation, he couldn't help asking.

Xu Guangqi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, listened and naturally knew what was going on, because he had seen this map earlier.

He turned his head to look at Zhongxing Hou, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and seeing him smiling at him, he also responded with a smile, thinking that after the meeting, he would invite Zhongxing Hou to visit the things he had been worrying about during this time. Will Zhongxinghou be satisfied?

Sure enough, Wen Tiren over there replied to his teacher: "This world map was presented by the Marquis Zhongxing who returned from overseas, and the situation in various places was also reported by the Marquis Zhongxing."

At this moment, everyone in the hall focused their eyes on Zhongxinghou, and understood why Zhongxinghou would attend the audition.

But even if Marquis Zhongxing came from overseas, logically speaking, it should be impossible to know such details.Qian Xiangkun was still full of doubts, he asked Zhong Jinwei: "Marquis Zhongxing, have you been to North America?"

Zhong Jinwei is at such a young age, if he wants to travel around the world and draw such a detailed map of the world, he also needs to understand the local customs.Obviously it is impossible, no wonder Qian Xiangkun asked, and other people also have this doubt.

Zhong Jinwei didn't expect them to ask so carefully, this question is not easy to answer.If they said they had been there, they would definitely ask questions one after another. If they said they hadn't been there, then how did they know these things, and their authenticity would be doubted.

Fortunately, the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear.Seeing this situation, Emperor Chongzhen spoke up and said: "Master Zhong is from overseas, so it's not surprising that he knows more things than us. Qing Qian doesn't need to worry about this, and I don't want to move the royal family out all at once."

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words fell, Wen Tiren added: "Your Majesty means that you are currently sending pathfinders to North America to verify the situation. After finding out a suitable route, let the vassal king's clan move to North America."

It was because they knew about Zhong Jinwei's unbelievable origin, but the other courtiers didn't know, so they hurriedly bypassed the matter involved in this aspect to prevent these people from continuing to entangle in this issue.

When Wen Tiren said this, the courtiers in the hall felt that it was safe. Even if the situation in North America was wrong in Zhongxinghou's memory, which was different from what Shoufu said, it would not have much impact on Daming.

These people are all good people. It is not necessary for Wen Tiren to explain the benefits that the feudal clan of the feudal king will bring to Ming Dynasty. At least the countless fertile fields that nominally belong to the clan of the feudal king can be taken back by the imperial court.Based on this alone, they are all happy to hear about this matter.

As for what will happen to the vassal king's family after they are feudalized overseas, who cares about these people!It is even said that these vassal kings and clans lined up to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, and some people in this palace might not have any objections.

Wen Tiren didn't see anyone talking and asking questions, and he didn't wait for them anymore, so he continued: "If you want to send people to North America to explore the way first, you must also send people from the prince's clan to make them believe it. This matter has the greatest impact on them. Therefore, what His Majesty means is to issue an order to all vassal kings from all over the country to come to the capital to discuss this matter."

He Ruchong, who hadn't spoken a moment ago, listened and said loudly: "It's absolutely impossible."
