Prince of Chaos

Chapter 414: Daming's Hope

When Chen Zhenlong came back, he received an unprecedented courtesy. When he disembarked, the crown prince's award had already arrived at the pier.

Then, Chen Zhenlong accepted the extremely high award from His Highness the Crown Prince in the midst of all the attention, and Zhu Changluo gave Chen Zhenlong the four-character evaluation of "Guoshi Wushuang".

Chen Zhenlong was overwhelmed with gratitude for receiving this four-character evaluation. This evaluation is really too high.

Although, there is no reward of title, nor promotion of official rank.

However, in the eyes of the people at that time, this four-character evaluation was simply a grace soaring into the sky, and it could be passed on as a monument and passed on to future generations of glory!

Xiao Ruxun and others were extremely enthusiastic when they met Chen Zhenlong at the pier for the first time. This kind of enthusiasm made Chen Zhenlong truly feel the importance that His Highness the Crown Prince attaches to him.

At the same time, he could also feel that the status and power of His Highness the Crown Prince might be greater than he imagined!
"Come on, help Master Chen unload the ship!"

Xiao Ruxun and the others had almost finished exchanging greetings, and they had finally waited for this exciting moment.

They also want to see what Chen Zhenlong brought back from the distant Dongzhou?
Chen Zhenlong looked at the enthusiasm of the crowd, he was afraid that the enthusiasm of these people would damage the treasure he brought back.

Chen Zhenlong shouted worriedly: "It's all lighter. These are the treasures that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince called for, and there must be no damage!"

After hearing Chen Zhenlong's words, the eyes of Xiao Ruxun and others lit up.

They are all treasures requested by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so the weight of this treasure must not be low.

Therefore, Xiao Ruxun followed suit and said: "Be gentle, everything is under the command of Mr. Chen."

Then, under the expectation of everyone, boxes of Dongzhou treasures began to be unloaded from the ship.

There are new seals on them, and many people want to open them out of curiosity.

However, they all restrained their curiosity to tear off the seal to find out when they thought that this was the treasure that the crown prince had named.

Xiao Ruxun looked at the boxes with seals, and asked curiously: "Master Chen, what are these boxes?"

Chen Zhenlong said: "This is Daming's hope!"

"Da Ming's hope!"

These words made Xiao Ruxun's mouth wide open. What kind of treasure is it that can be called Daming's hope!
Thinking of this, Xiao Ruxun paid more attention to the treasure brought back by Chen Zhenlong.

Therefore, he also made a bold decision, he will personally escort these treasures to Beijing, to ensure that these treasures are safe on the final journey!
Regarding Xiao Ruxun's decision, Chen Zhenlong didn't say anything. After all, as a subordinate official, he could only listen to what decision he made.

In fact, a feudal official like Xiao Ruxun is not allowed to enter Beijing without purpose. However, Tianjin Wei itself is within the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture, and Xiao Ruxun still holds the position of Governor of Shuntian. Obviously, he did not go to Beijing. What a problem.However, if it is investigated carefully, it will be a little troublesome.

At this time, it depends on the mood of the handler. If the handler doesn't like Xiao Ruxun, he can be killed based on this one.However, it is clear that Xiao Ruxun has nothing to fear, because he is promoted by His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness is also the Prince of Jian Guo, so no one will make things difficult for him.

The mighty convoy went directly to the capital under the heavy escort of Xiao Ruxun.

Zhu Changluo, who was far away in the capital, heard that Xiao Ruxun personally escorted the treasure brought by Chen Zhenlong from Dongzhou to the capital.

Zhu Changluo laughed, "Xiao Ruxun is really a smart person."

Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Changluo say this about Xiao Ruxun, and he replied from the side: "Governor Xiao is also in a hurry. The Zhili Navy has arrived in North Korea, and his errands in Tianjin Wei are considered free now. Now the servant heard that some officials in the court have We started to discuss whether the position of governor of Shuntian is still necessary. The servant thought, Xiao Ruxun must have come here for this matter."

Zhu Changluo said: "It's no wonder that he thinks too much. After the Shuntian Mansion was promoted, the setting of the Shuntian Governor is indeed a bit nondescript. It is no wonder that some officials will make irresponsible remarks about this. The Governor of Shuntian Mansion is now a second-rank official in the imperial court. , but the governor of Shuntian, who was originally a head higher than the governor of Shuntian, is from the second rank. No matter in terms of function or rank, there is really no need for the governor of Shuntian to exist. "

After Wei Zhongxian listened to Zhu Changluo's words, he asked cautiously: "Then how does His Highness plan to arrange him?"

Zhu Changluo cast a glance at the enthusiastic Wei Zhongxian, and then said, "You can make your own decisions. Just do your part well."

After Wei Zhongxian listened to Zhu Changluo's words, his knees softened in fright, and he knelt on the ground with a pale face, "The slave is a death penalty, the slave is a death penalty. A slave should not ask the master's mind."

Zhu Changluo looked at Wei Zhongxian's reaction, and he knew what was going on in his heart. Someone must want to know his intentions, but Wei Zhongxian couldn't refuse this person, so he boldly asked Zhu Changluo's tone.

Zhu Changluo said lightly: "There are some things that I will say, and I will let you say them. However, there are some things that you should not ask. You are from the Ciqing Palace, and you are an lonely person. No one can do anything to you except Gu, do you understand?"

Wei Zhongxian quickly replied: "I remember it, I remember it. I will always belong to the master for the rest of my life!"

Zhu Changluo said: "Some people should pay close attention, do you understand what Gu means?"

Zhu Changluo turned around and said to Wei Zhongxian, his eyes seemed to Wei Zhongxian to be looking down from the heavens, which made him unable to resist and immediately felt the desire to surrender completely.

To be honest, Zhu Changluo was really disappointed with Wei Zhongxian this time. He felt that Wei Zhongxian's achievements in the original history were nothing but superficial.

How could he be so stupid?
Is such a stupid person worthy of his reliance and trust?

Feeling the gradually icy emotions on Zhu Changluo, Wei Zhongxian really wanted to give himself a big mouth.

Why did I listen to Chen Ju's words so obsessively?

Although Chen Ju was close to Emperor Wanli, he was also Zhu Changluo's first teacher.

However, the relationship between him and Zhu Changluo has always been that of a master and a slave.

He will never be different just because he has taught Zhu Changluo for several years.

After figuring this out, Wei Zhongxian really regretted his past, he really regretted that he thought he was smart.

Zhu Changluo said: "I know that Shen Li has written letters to Chen Ju several times, but I don't know how close they are now. Go and check. Don't let Gu down this time."

After Zhu Changluo beat Wei Zhongxian, he gave Wei Zhongxian another task.

After so many years, Zhu Changluo almost forgot about Shen Li.

Unexpectedly, when he appeared in Zhu Changluo's eyes again, he would be connected with Chen Ju.Does he want to learn from Zhang Juzheng?Also want to unite with a eunuch politician to carry out reforms?
In fact, cooperating with civil servants and eunuchs is not a big deal. After all, the political system of the Ming Dynasty is wonderful. Although the power of the eunuchs is not as good as that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, they can be regarded as the ones who have participated in politics for the longest time in the feudal dynasties.

Although the reputation of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was not very good, the political status of these great eunuchs cannot be denied.

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, although civil servants scolded the eunuchs fiercely, they cooperated with the eunuchs quite frequently.

They are typically straight-talking, and they are quite shameless when they fawn on the eunuchs who are close to the emperor.Even Zhang Juzheng, known as the continuation of Ming Dynasty, in order to overthrow Gao Gong, he flattered and wooed the great eunuch Feng Bao to the utmost.

Otherwise, he would not have had the monstrous power that Zhang Juzheng had held for ten years!

However, this is not what Zhu Changluo can understand.

Zhu Changluo never dreamed that the great eunuch whom he trusted so much would now start plotting against him with his foreign ministers.

The character Shen Li is still very good in the original historical evaluation.

However, this person still has some small problems.

That is, he is too idealistic, he is too close to Gu Xiancheng and others, and he has faint shadows of Donglin party members.

Some ideas and political concepts of the Donglin Party, although they look good.However, the limitations of the Donglin Party are too great, they only represent the interests of some scholars and scholars.

The gains and losses of these people, to be honest, have little to do with Daming's market.

Moreover, in the original historical time and space, due to their continuous fighting and using Zhu Changluo's identity to make troubles, it shows that they were not pure from the beginning, but a pure interest organization, which is just a nice word.

Over the years, Zhu Changluo has kept the internal affairs and the six departments unchanged, in order to prevent the intensified party struggle after the mid-Wanli period.

However, some things really didn't happen if he didn't want to.

Even though he worked so hard, the shadow of factionalism still hung over the sky of Daming.

It can be seen from this that, regardless of reform or not, they will continue to fight for the benefit.No matter how righteous the slogan is, it can't cover up their selfish side.

Although these people also said that they were doing it for the good of Ming Dynasty and the good of the world.

In fact, what these people are trying to protect is their own interests, which has little to do with the real people.

What they want and what they want to restore are some privileges that were damaged by Zhang Juzheng's reform.

Although, Zhang Juzheng is dead, he has already passed away.

However, this does not mean that Zhang Juzheng's death will return their interests.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, though, his reforms were completely overturned by Emperor Wanli and his successor Zhang Siwei and others.However, some people's interests are not restored, but replaced by others.

Therefore, they have been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for one day in the future to overthrow those in power in the court, and then occupy their interests.

Zhu Changluo hated these people who spoke of justice but were actually despicable in morals.

Originally, Zhu Changluo wanted to endure it for a while, and wait until the time was right to deal with them.

However, judging from the current situation, some people can't wait.

I couldn't help but go some sideways, and actually turned my mind on the internal officials.

Zhu Changluo absolutely cannot allow such a situation.

Therefore, this time Zhu Changluo must also let these people know the dominance of the imperial power!

Otherwise, these sanctimonious gentlemen would really be lawless.

After beating Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Changluo also felt that he should release part of his energy to focus on political struggle and political monitoring.

To be honest, Zhu Changluo also hates this kind of surveillance politics, but sometimes, without these extraordinary means, he really can't fix these people.

Therefore, in extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done.Zhu Changluo didn't object at all.

However, before that, Zhu Changluo must ensure the loyalty of those around him.

If the loyalty of the people around me becomes a problem, then wouldn't my place become a broken wall with leaks everywhere?
"I don't want to have a second time for what happened today."

Wei Zhongxian wiped the cold sweat off his face and replied, "I understand."

"Let's go, Chen Zhenlong and the others will arrive in Beijing later. You arrange someone to inform them and let them go directly to Xishan Huangzhuang, where the orphan will wait for them."

"Yes."

The reason why he chose to go to Xishan Huangzhuang was because Chen Zhenlong was only Zhu Changluo's special envoy, and he was not sent by the imperial court.

Therefore, no matter what achievements he has made outside, he does not need to explain to the court, and Zhu Changluo is the only one who will account for him in the end.

Moreover, when he went to sea, he also went out in the name of Xishan Huangzhuang, and when he returned, he also hung the flag of Xishan Huangzhuang.It is also reasonable to let him go directly to Xishan Huangzhuang.

Although Wei Zhongxian's behavior today made Zhu Changluo very unhappy, compared with the Dongzhou seeds that Chen Zhenlong is about to bring back, these are nothing.

After all, the power of the Little Ice Age has grown stronger over the years.

Although, these years, the capital is still peaceful, but this does not mean that Daming is peaceful.If a ruler thinks that the world is peaceful just because he sees the tranquility and prosperity of the capital, it will undoubtedly be a disaster!
The provinces of Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi in the north suffer from drought almost every year. In the south, the provinces of Huizhou, Fengyang, and other provinces in South Zhili are flooded continuously due to floods in the Yellow River and Huaihe River.

There is also the flood of the Yangtze River in Jiangxi. Every year, the imperial court receives reports of how many people's houses have been washed away, and river embankments and dams have been washed away.

There are various problems in this huge empire almost every day, and these problems remind Zhu Changluo all the time how difficult the days ahead will be!

And the only root that can solve these problems is food!
As long as there are enough food reserves, no matter how difficult it is, there will always be a time to carry it over.

However, once there is a food problem, even a modern country with such advanced technology will collapse!After all, people always have to eat, and ordinary people who have no food are not ordinary people. They will become a terrible torrent and destroy everything in this world!
Just like the red eyebrows and yellow scarves in Han Dynasty!Wherever it goes, not a single blade of grass grows!Are they evil?Are they pitiful?They only went this way because they had nothing to eat.

As long as they stutter, they will not rebel.

Therefore, food and agriculture are the foundation of everything!

With this guarantee, we can talk about technology, industry, and development.

Without food, talk about technology, industry, and development, that is hooliganism!
Because of the lack of food, these are castles in the air, not worth mentioning.

Therefore, the issue of food, no matter ancient or modern, is a top priority!

Only when the food problem is solved can we be qualified to talk about development.

Otherwise, everything is nonsense!
