"This time Shen Qing went to Fujian to quell the rebellion. I hope that in addition to suppressing the rebellious officials and traitors, you can also supervise the successful completion of the next treasure ship."

"Xiangbei, don't let me down."

When Zhu Qizhen said these words, it was not entirely an instruction or courtesy, there was also a hint of "prayer" in his eyes.

In building the next treasure ship, Zhu Qizhen endured too much resistance and at the same time placed his own lofty ideals on it.

Among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, Zhu Qizhen felt that only Shen Yichen could understand his motives and state of mind. At the same time, only if he went out to Fujian to supervise the construction of the treasure ship, he could successfully complete it and go to sea.

"I obey the decree and will definitely let the Ming Dynasty treasure ship travel around the world!"

Shen Yichen accepted this request without any hesitation.

Re-opening the maritime ban and restoring the grandeur of the Ming Dynasty fleet is not Zhu Qizhen’s dream alone, the same is true for Shen Yichen!

"Okay, then I will be here and wish Shen Qing success in advance."

"My lord, thank you for your message."

In the Wuying Hall, there was a scene where the king and his ministers enjoyed each other and cherished each other.

But what Shen Yichen didn't know was that Zhu Qizhen had dug a big hole for himself. The construction of the treasure ship was far from as simple as he said.

After exiting the main hall, Shen Yichen walked towards the outside of the palace, still thinking about the emperor's instructions in his mind.

After the construction of the treasure ship is completed, it will inevitably start its journey to the Western Ocean. According to the past grievances of the tribute system between the Ming Dynasty and the Fan Dynasty, the voyage to the Western Ocean will most likely result in a loss of all the money.

In a sense, after the Yongle period, the officials of the Ming Dynasty opposed the Western voyages and believed that it was not unreasonable to waste people and money. They spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources, but did not get enough returns through colonial plunder like in the Western Age of Discovery.

As time goes by, naturally no one supports it.

The most direct way to change this vicious cycle is to make money.

If the Western Turks did not engage in colonial plunder and their economic development was extremely backward, they would not be able to make much money by developing trade.

Since there is no money to be made by going to the West, it might be a good idea to change your thinking and go to the East to enjoy the autumn breeze.

When the ship full of real money and silver was pulled back to the capital, Shen Yichen believed that except for the most pedantic old scholars, few civil and military elites in the dynasty could withstand the money offensive.

Earning money will greatly stimulate the desire to explore, and policies like sea bans will naturally be thrown into the trash.

It's time to switch to a different country for your status as an injustice by giving money to someone.

Just when Shen Yichen was filled with random thoughts, a eunuch wearing a python robe blocked his path.

Although it shows that the strictness of the uniforms granted to internal officials in the early and middle dynasties was much lower than that of external officials, it is still not an easy task to wear a python robe.

At least Shen Yichen had only seen two eunuchs wearing python robes in the center of the imperial court. One was the famous current Chief of Ceremonies Wang Zhen. The other was Jin Ying, the former Chief of Ceremonies who had experienced five dynasties.

However, with the rise of Wang Zhen, Jin Ying gradually lost power, and he lived in seclusion in the palace and was rarely seen.

The python-robed official in front of me is not one of the two people. Is there a third person in the palace who is qualified to wear the python robe and serve?

Just when Shen Yichen was extremely confused and guessing the identity of the other party, the python-robed eunuch in front of him first held up his hands and said: "Shen Shi is a bachelor, I have admired him for a long time."

"I've admired you for a long time, but you don't know who your father-in-law is?"

Shen Yichen quickly returned the favor. Being able to wear a python robe means that the other party's status cannot be low. As long as the eunuchs and eunuchs do not take the initiative to make trouble with him, Shen Yichen will never have the idea of ​​"the Han and the traitors are not at odds" like Ke Dao Qingliu. .

To build a good relationship, you should be polite and absolutely unambiguous.

"Our family is happy. We just returned to Beijing from Liaodong last year to report on our work. Have you ever heard that Shen Shi is studying for a bachelor's degree?"

Xi Ning?

When she heard this name, Shen Yichen was stunned.

If Wang Zhen is a hypocrite who calls himself a scholar, then Xi Ning is an out-and-out villain!

This guy's domineering attitude is even worse than Wang Zhen's. At least in many important affairs of the government, Wang Zhen has read a book to save face, and will not shamelessly humiliate civil and military officials.

Even before he came to power, Wang Zhen behaved very humbly and respectfully. Even "San Yang" and others were deceived, thinking that this eunuch had a literati style.

Xi Ning is completely different. A complete villain has gained power, and humiliating an important minister like the British Duke is simply destroying the Great Wall.

Of course, the most outrageous thing is Zhu Qizhen's laissez-faire attitude.

However, as the saying goes, "licking the dog" will end up with nothing. Even if Zhu Qizhen was so partial to Enfa Xining, when he was captured during the Tumuba Incident, he was rewarded with all kinds of abuse and humiliation by the eunuch.

Then he acted as the leader of the Mongols, informed the border guards of the situation, and led Zhu Qizhen to call the gate to persuade the generals to surrender.

This is how the title of "Call the Emperor" that was widely circulated in later generations came about.

Shen Yichen really didn't expect that he would see Xi Ning under such circumstances, and looking at the other party's posture, it seemed that he was waiting for him?
