little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 235 Anatomy
Although it was May, the weather had changed from warm to hot, but the Yongrong and Splendid Qianqing Palace seemed to be as cold as ice.In the middle of the hall, the crane-headed censer stretches out its long neck, and the fragrance of sinking water sprays out from its long mouth. The ambiguous light and shadow add a bit of shadowy mystery to this lonely palace.

Huang Jin, who was standing sideways, glanced carefully at Emperor Wanli who was quietly sitting on the chair. Ever since he reported the situation of the Franji man summoned by the prince in Ciqing Palace, the emperor has remained expressionless like this. Been sitting here for a long time.

Although he didn't know what the Five Elements Soil was, since there was a word for Soil, it must not be a rare thing.But it's just such a thing that can be charged such a high price?Thinking of the twinkling stars in Wang An's eyes when he mentioned that number, even Huang Jin, who is used to seeing the world, felt dizzy for a while. Thinking of the prince's ability, Huang Jin's eyes became sincere and enthusiastic.

"Huang Jin, the prince is still negotiating with that Francophone?"

Huang Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly whispered with a smile: "Yes, I heard that Franji can't afford that much money, and the crown prince is asking him to use a boat to cover the bill..."

"I thought he was talking big, but I didn't expect him to do it! Okay, it's amazing, it's amazing." After a moment of silence, after Wanli threw out such a few thoughtless and emotional words, he suddenly let out a loud haha Laugh, the laughter is cheerful and dripping, and it is indescribably happy and hearty.Huang Jin couldn't help being very surprised. He had served Wanli for so many years, and the number of times the emperor laughed like this could be counted on his fingers.

The laughter gradually stopped, and Wanli, who recovered from his excitement, suddenly remembered what Zhu Changluo said to himself that day...

"Father should know that since the 32nd year of Jiajing, Folang Jiren has proposed to us Daming to lease Haojing at a rent of [-] taels of silver per year. It is called rent, but it is actually occupied! But the emperor and the court officials at that time let it go , my son speculates on his own, there are nothing more than two reasons."

Hearing Zhu Changluo mentioned the old things, not only did he speak in a bad tone, but he seemed to be quite critical.Wanli was a little unhappy, and lowered his face slightly: "Don't be presumptuous, Emperor Shizong is far-sighted, wise and wise, how can you just criticize it casually?"

Zhu Changluo curled his lips in response to this unnutritious argument, closed his mouth and said nothing more.

After waiting for a while without seeing him speak, Wanli asked strangely, "Why don't you speak?"

Zhu Changluo laughed a little lamely: "Don't dare, I'm afraid that I will be unhappy if I talk about my father."

Cunning boy!Wanli glared at him: "Just say it, I'm sorry you are not guilty."

"I just guessed one or two things, and my son guessed that the situation at that time was nothing more than two: first, all the officials in the court thought that Haojing was a small place isolated overseas, and it was not worth fighting for such a small place, let alone At that time, natural and man-made disasters continued, and the court really couldn't spend money to do these things, so it just passed by with its eyes closed."

Although Zhu Changluo's guess was neither accurate nor far away, the fact is indeed the case. Although Haojing is small, it is also the territory of Ming Dynasty. The rental fee of 2 taels was nothing to the Ming Dynasty, but fortunately, Franji was not able to make an inch of it. It was indeed just for business, and he had no ambition to invade the Ming Dynasty.Based on this, Emperor Jiajing, who was suffering from internal and external troubles, had no choice but to turn a blind eye and close one eye, even though he was unwilling.

But from the king to the minister, everyone knows in their hearts that they are the same as Ming Jing, but no one is willing to admit it or don't want to admit it... The Frangji people who occupy Haojing are not so easy to expel. To this day, for this point of view Of course, Wanli and Zhu Changluo knew better.

Thinking of those nasty foreign devils, Wanli's face became a little gloomy, and he snorted, "Where's the second one?"

"Secondly, let's start with the Frangji people. Haojing is indeed a small place, and the people are neither rich nor generous. Are the Frangji people stupid? They took the risk of turning against our Ming Dynasty and forcibly occupying it. This place?" When it came to the word "occupation", Zhu Changluo added a heavy tone intentionally or unintentionally, and Wanli could hear it naturally, and the ugly color on his face added another three points, and said angrily: "According to what you said, how did you return?" thing?"

Stretching out his hand and pointing at the picture of Daming Hunyi, Zhu Changluo said seriously: "Father, please look, Franji is definitely not stupid, and he is very smart!"

"Haojing is an extremely important transit point, from which you can go west to Malacca, enter the Indian Ocean, cross the Cape of Good Hope, and reach their country Spain. The biggest advantage of this route is that they can avoid the Ottoman Empire, which they most taboo. Spain and The Ottomans have always been suspicious of each other, and there are conflicts from time to time. Returning by sea, you can avoid being caught by the Ottomans by land and taxed heavily; and from Haojing to the east, you can go directly to Japan. Japan is a small place that is not even as good as Haojing , materials are extremely scarce, and all the necessities of life cannot be self-sufficient, and everything needs to be purchased from other places. However, there is a wealth of silver there, and for the Frangji people who are dedicated to doing business, the meaning of Haojing has become extremely important .”

Seeing Zhu Changluo's slender fingers pointing to the east and swipe to the west, Emperor Wanli knew this, and looked at Zhu Changluo pointing on the picture of Daming Hunyi blankly, with a look of astonishment and surprise on his face, listening to these strange terms from him. There was a steady stream of flow out of his mouth, and he couldn't help but wonder where this son learned these weird things from.

Although I don't know anything about Ottoman or the Cape of Good Hope at all, the truth is there, and if it makes sense, it makes sense.Wanli is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart, his eyes have become cold and serious: "This is why they occupy Haojing? You only need to pay a price of [-] taels of silver every year, and you can get supplies here and gain a foothold here." In the middle, running around, coming and going freely?"

Now it was Zhu Changluo's turn to look at Wanli with admiration, with a trace of sincere admiration in his eyes: "Father sees Wanli clearly, that's exactly the case."

With a bang, Wanli patted the case heavily with one hand, and stood up proudly: "These barbarians, how dare they plot against Daming like this! I will definitely make them pay the price they deserve."

Zhu Changluo understands Wanli's anger, but it doesn't mean he will support it.When Wanli's anger calmed down a bit, he reminded softly: "Father, don't be angry. The book of war says that you know the enemy and know the enemy. You can win a hundred battles. Haojing has been occupied by Frangji for decades, and the foundation is solid. Even if we want to do it Nothing can be rushed for a while, not to mention that our Daming navy has already withered, so if we rush to send troops, we will not only bring shame on ourselves, but also scare the snake, which is not good."

Unexpectedly, Wanli didn't jump into a rage when these words didn't please his ears. He suddenly thought of something, stared deeply at Zhu Changluo, and said after a long while: "After a while, I went around in circles and came back to the issue of the Daming Navy."

Zhu Changluo laughed: "That's right, I really can't hide anything from my father, let's tell my father the truth... Franji plotted against us, Daming first, but we can't suffer this loss for nothing, my son will Find a way to get 1000 million from them, and treat it as the interest owed to us over the years. If you can succeed, please allow all the money to be used for the construction of the navy." After finishing these words, Zhu Changluo knelt down respectfully, with a smile on his face: "When our Wanli navy master is successful, are you afraid that they won't give up Haojing obediently?"

"To deal with a vicious robber, you can only be more vicious than him. I firmly believe that everything can only be done by strength!"

Wanli was finally completely moved... not because of the staggering figure of 1000 million taels, but because of this son who knelt before his eyes and begged for his permission.If possible, he would really like to knock open this son's head and have a look to see what's inside. His words and deeds are eccentric, yet well-founded, and his actions are unexpected, bold, and eccentric. People are extremely trustworthy.

"Wanli Navy? Can there really be such a day?" At this moment, Wanli suddenly lost his mind for a moment, his eyes flicked around Zhu Changluo's upturned face, his confusion finally turned into firmness, and he stretched out his hands to pat the table with a clear and clear voice : "Go and do it, even if you poke a hole in the sky, I will help you plug it."

After getting permission, Zhu Changluo smiled openly: "With the words of the father, the minister can feel at ease even if he dies."

Wanli frowned, and asked subconsciously: "What did you say? What is dead or alive?"

Only then did he realize that he had made a slip of the tongue. Zhu Changluo was taken aback. He was inexplicably flustered. He forced a smile and said, "It's all because of my fault. I violated a taboo by saying something casually. Please forgive me."

The panic on his face did not escape Wanli's eyes, and an indescribable feeling suddenly arose in his heart. It can be concluded that he must be hiding something from himself.Annoyed, Wanli's eyebrows gradually raised. After all, they were father and son. From Zhu Changluo's straightforward and open eyes, he saw not only calmness, transparency, self-control and caution, but also a profound city and many years of hard work. For such a person, if he doesn't want to say anything, I believe no one will be able to ask.

Having figured this out, Wanli's mouth was full of bitterness: "...next time you dare to talk nonsense like this, I will punish you!"

Looking at Zhu Changluo's cheerful and sunny smile, Wanli felt like overturning a seasoning bottle in his heart. The five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty were mixed together, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

So unconsciously, did this child have such a heavy weight in his heart?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Seeing Wanli's fascination for a long time, his face suddenly gentle and suddenly stern, Huang Jin felt a little uneasy, so he boldly called out softly.

Wanli returned to his senses leisurely, looked at Huang Jin intently, and suddenly said solemnly: "Let the prince do whatever he wants, and don't bother him." Suddenly he pondered for a moment: "...you go and find him quickly, just Say I have orders."

Huang Jin accepted the order submissively. When he heard Wanli's second order, Huang Jin's old face changed a little: "Does your majesty mean to find him?"

Wanli did not hesitate at all: "Yes, only he can find out the incomprehensible matter in my heart."

Seeing Wanli's expression was firm and resolute, it was definitely not a whim. Although there were many doubts in his heart, Huang Jin, who was knowledgeable and smart, didn't say any more, and nodded: "Yes, this old slave will do it now."

In the Qinzheng Hall of Ciqing Palace, there was a tense atmosphere with bright swords and dark halberds, and the vegetation and trees were like soldiers.At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhu Changluo's face, especially Rodia's, whose mouth could literally put down two tea eggs.

"Your Highness... what are you talking about? Are you really going to buy my boat?"
