I am the king of the dead

The disadvantage of high morality is one of the achievements of Nicolaus and Hu Wei's speculation.

"However, Hu Shangshu said that high morality brings more benefits. The people live and work in peace and contentment. They are bound to be rich and wealthy. They will know their shame and have a bottom line in doing things. There are nearly tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty. High morality is indeed in Kaihai. There are disadvantages in this matter, but there are more advantages." Zhu Qiyu does not intend to interfere with Yuan Bin's decision in Japan, and he is beyond reach in Daming.

He was just thinking about the matter of Daming opening the sea.

He never expected that Gao Daode would become a stumbling block to Kaihai.

The family precepts of some influential and wealthy businessmen in the Ming Dynasty are all to persuade people to be good, which can be seen from various family letters.

They clearly know that what they have done, whether it is the fire in Tongyuan, Zhongshan, or the Fuchuan destroyed by the people of the Fujian shipyard, is wrong. They are clear about this, and of course they will do what they should do.

Ji Duo and His Majesty also hadn't seen each other for a long time and chatted for a long time.

Xing'an has his own theory about the family. He believes that if he doesn't see him for a long time, the family will disappear and His Majesty will forget him. Therefore, Xing'an will allow His Majesty to maintain the family of a certain person within the scope of his power and responsibility.

Xing'an is an eunuch, how does he understand the political philosophy of making the world a public place?He only knew that if a person's holy family disappeared, he would be unable to take a single step in Daming's officialdom.

This was true during the Zhengtong period, and so was the Jingtai period.

Yu Shaobao and His Majesty may live in the sky, but Xing'an lives in the world as usual, knowing that being an official is not easy.

For example, Xu Youzhen, if His Majesty wanted to use him to control the floods if it wasn't for the holy family, Xu Youzhen would have been impeached [-] times for his performance in the battle of the capital, at least he would have ended up as an official.

"Commander Ji, let's go to the Wa country in the spring of next year. I will rest and rest for a few months. I have been busy for several years. Let He Zhang go to Tatar." Zhu Qiyu signaled Xing'an He brought a watch the size of a palm and said, "I made the mechanical watch myself. Here are the instructions for use."

Sending the bell is the end of the homonym, so Zhu Qiyu is not a gift, but a gift, so there is no need to worry about this homonym.

Zhu Qiyu said proudly: "If the time is not accurate, you can go to the turrets in various squares to adjust it, but the clock shops in the turrets have not opened yet, and I am still teaching them how to adjust it."

"This piece was made by me myself, so it won't be a problem to use it for a year or so."

Ji Duo took the sandalwood box with trembling hands, looked at the palm-sized mechanical watch, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your generous reward! I will definitely repay the grace!"

Ji Duo didn't even know how he got out of Juxian Pavilion. It wasn't until Cheng Jing sent the Qigong brand gift package that Ji Duo grabbed the sandalwood box in his hand and came back to his senses.

"Didn't your majesty just make this watch a few days ago?" Cheng Jing pointed to the word "Wuchen" engraved on the sandalwood box in surprise and said, "this is the fifth watch made by your majesty himself. It’s just finished, and it’s still a box from our family.”

Cheng Jing was really surprised. He didn't know that His Majesty would reward this. He also prepared a tube clock mass-produced by Shijing Factory, and planned to make a big gift package for Ji Duo.

His Majesty personally made six watches.

Yu Qian took one piece, Shi Heng took one piece, Hu Min took one piece, Jin Lian took one piece, and the fifth piece unexpectedly fell into Ji Duo's hands.

Another piece was destroyed by the palace people.

"This thing is made by His Majesty himself, and even the iron is a furnace of spring steel that His Majesty personally went to Shijing Factory to burn." Cheng Jing said with a painful face: "Be sure to remember that you must never touch the magnet. Or it will be ruined."

"Some time ago, a palace official accidentally put Yi Chou watch on a magnet. His Majesty was furious, and his heart ached. is to suffer a great crime.”

Cheng Jing didn't give the Wuchen Biao to Ji Duo because of his heartache, His Majesty made it to show the grace of God.

What he felt distressed about was the ruined piece of Yi Chou, which was a precious lump that His Majesty held in his palm for fear of melting.

Cheng Jing gave Ji Duo a big gift package of Qigong brand, and said in a rambling manner: "Your Majesty said that if you destroy something, you will destroy it, and if you destroy people, that is abuse. It's not what the owner says, so please tell me The people in our family should keep quiet."

"Our family doesn't understand those, so we know that His Majesty is very distressed, alas."

"Must be sure, don't touch the magnet, or you won't be able to walk."

Ji Duo listened, and suddenly thought of His Majesty's high moral disadvantage, and smiled.

Your Majesty also said that Yuan Bin's high morality brought disadvantages, so why not Your Majesty?

We are all Daming people.

Chapter 552 Daming is happy today, tomorrow, and every day

High moral disadvantage, you can translate translation is to lose face.

In Nikolaoz's view, the people of Ming Dynasty couldn't do such a low-moral thing as colonization. The merchants of Ming Dynasty did some bad things secretly, timidly, running a business with a ruined house, and worrying about their reputation.

Looking at the Venetian merchants in Rome, the Roman emperor could only hang the Venetian governor to vent his anger, but it didn't help.

He Zhang wanted to go to Tatar as an envoy, and he was able to convince the ministries and His Majesty, isn't it because of his high moral disadvantage?

Zhu Qiyu agreed to this matter, neither because he was afraid of the force of the wind, nor because he was afraid of the impatient eyes of the Tatars. It was just that after planting the tree for so long, it was finally time to harvest.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu couldn't kill all the men above the Tatar wheels. Even if Zhu Qiyu could be so cruel, and the Ming Dynasty soldiers became butchers, that was not what Zhu Qiyu wanted to see.

History has also proved that massacres are useless.

When the Kingdom of Jin ruled the various tribes of Mongolia, it had a policy of reducing the number of people every three years. Every three years, they would go to the grassland to slaughter a stubble. As a result, Genghis Khan was slaughtered alive.

The massacre will only drive each other to a dead end.

Ji Duo returned to the official residence and met his long-lost family members. He was the commander of the frontier army, but because of his frequent activities in the capital, His Majesty transferred his organizational relationship from the local government to the capital official.

The specific method is that His Majesty just promoted him to an official position in Fengtian Palace, and he is still the commander of the Datong Mansion, but at the same time he is the commander of Jinyiwei.

Now Ji Duo is an out-and-out Beijing official. Because of the need to balance the relationship between the local army and the Beijing official army, Ji Duo is still named as the commander of the Datong Mansion.

Ji Duo soon went to visit He Zhang, and Ji Duo agreed to His Majesty. This time, He Zhang will go to the Tatar Ministry as an envoy, so Ji Duo will also go to meet He Zhang.

He Zhang warmly received Ji Duo, but looked enviously at the miracle card in front of Ji Duo, and could only envy him.

He had just returned to Beijing, and now he was showing off his miraculous achievements card, and Ji Duo had already learned it in style.

Ji Duo didn't stand in the court for a long time, he was always moving around. He didn't know how uncomfortable he was without the miraculous merit card in the court hall. He Zhang's position without the miraculous merit card meant that he was not worthy of virtue .

When Hu Wei, Yu Qian, Jiang Yuan and others went to the court, they all carried their miraculous merit cards in front of them, looking like Lao Tzu's heroes of the Ming Dynasty!

After learning of His Majesty's decision, He Zhang became even more enthusiastic.

The Ministry of Rites is not a problem, the Ministry of Rites listens to the emperor the most, as long as the emperor is willing, the Minister of Rites, Hu Wei, has absolutely no reason to stop him.

"Does it mean that applying lard can prevent freezing?" Of course He Zhang knew about the bitter cold beyond the Great Wall, but this was the first time he had heard of this method of preventing freezing.

Ji Duo turned sideways and said, "Well, speaking of it, it's the hand grease used by women, the thing that smears hands."

"When I was in Dongshengwei, the washing women would use this thing to prevent their hands from soaking and cracking for a long time when washing clothes, but it is more convenient to use lard."

Only then did He Zhang understand the origin of this object, and said with emotion: "There is a story recorded in Zhuangzi Xiaoyaoyou."

"It is said that the people of the Song Dynasty were good at making the medicine that does not hurt the hands. Later, the king of the Wu State got this prescription and chose to fight the Yue State in winter.

"Commander Ji really observes meticulously and has been taught."

Ji Duo was taken aback, and asked about the story carefully.

The outline of the story is indeed the same, but the people of Song Dynasty sold the prescription of the medicine that is not easy to use, and sold it to a businessman, and this businessman dedicated it to the King of Wu. Because of the great victory, he was given the land and a title.

The incident recorded by Zhuangzi is mainly to teach the world. It uses the same place, but the harvest is completely different.

Ji Duo and He Zhang chatted for a long time before leaving He's residence.

He Zhang looked at Ji Duo's leaving back, then closed the door of the house, showing a long-lost smile.

He Zhang's wife, Mrs. Chen, has traveled here and there with He Zhang all these years, and has seen He Zhang's ups and downs. She was originally high-spirited and wanted to step on Hu Wei to take the throne, but was scolded by Hu Wei and kicked out of the capital.

Now Hu Wei has brought He Zhang back from Sichuan again, and He Zhang has passed the credit for the first case. Although he was promoted, her husband was depressed all day long.

After returning to Beijing, Mrs. Chen saw the smile on He Zhang's face for the first time.

"Going outside the Great Wall is no better than being in the capital. Be careful in everything. If you encounter danger, you must run away. They are not the Miao people in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou. They are afraid of the court, not necessarily the Tatars."

"What if... what will we mother and son do?" Mrs. Chen began to pack He Zhang's bags. This mission, I don't know when we will see each other again, and it is very dangerous, so there will inevitably be some chatter.

But she, Mrs. Chen, can't stop men from doing things, and can only complain a few words.

He Zhang shook his head and said, "You're wrong. The Miao people in Yunnan and Guizhou are not afraid of the imperial court. They are more afraid of the government of Qianguo. The Tatars are also more afraid of Your Majesty. Your Majesty's knife kills without blood."

"I know in my heart that even if Da Ming and the Tatars fight head-on, I won't be in too much danger when I go on an envoy."

"Because I am Ming's envoy."

Mrs. Chen shook her head when she saw He Zhang's appearance. When he was driven out of the capital, He Zhang and Liu Ji were fellow villagers, and Liu Ji practiced for He Zhang. Words come.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye. When He Zhang left Beijing, he was so full of resentment that he almost did the Beizhi thing, but He Zhang didn't do it after all.

One thought makes a world of difference.

If He Zhang really chose to use double means to fight against His Majesty, the grass on the grave would be three feet high at this time.

Your Majesty is not someone who can't hold a knife, to destroy the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor may even use non-criminal formal judicial procedures, and send the congratulatory badge to the private seat of Jieyu Yuan to serve him.

He Zhang didn't do it, so he is now the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If he comes back from a full mission, he doesn't need to look at anyone's face, and he will be the chief constitution in an upright manner.

He Zhang sat at the desk, wrote a letter, sealed it with wax paint and said: "This letter contains something to save the lives of your mother and child. If I die outside the Great Wall and the news comes, you immediately hand this letter to me." Give it to Hu Shangshu, he will protect your mother and child."

"Although I, He, is not talented, I have been an official since the Yongle period. I have offended many people. If I die, the tree will fall. They will definitely deal with you mother and son. This is you. life-saving thing."

What He Zhang said was actually one of the reasons why the Metropolitan Procuratorate was so corrupt.

The head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervised that once he could not protect himself, people died, trees fell, and it was not over, wives and children followed.

Mrs. Chen paused when she packed up her things, and asked in a daze, "Is it the Duke of Qian's mansion? Why did you give it to Hu Shangshu?"

He Zhang had many conflicts between Yunguichuan and the Guizhou government. The Qian government violated the system and occupied more than [-] hectares of land. He Zhang impeached the Qian government and the Qian government made a statement, but it was still cut More than [-] hectares of fields.

The Duke of Qian State is a dignitary, and now He Zhang is the chief constitution. The Duke of Qian State dare not do anything, but what if He Zhang dies?

He Zhang laughed and said, "It's indeed related to the Duke of Qian's mansion."

"The conflict between me and the Duke of Qian is a public matter. The Duke of Qian can't do such a thing. If they do, they are still Duke of Qian?"

"If I died in a state affair, it must be in the list of heroes. He Qian Guogong must be crazy, and he will be angry with me, a dead man. It's just some side branches of the Mu family who have a crooked mind that shouldn't be moved."

"As for Hu Shangshu..."

He Zhang paused. He had been contemplating this letter for a long time, but he didn't know who he should give it to. He thought about it and turned it over and over again. It seemed that only Hu Wei could be trusted and could do this.

Yu Shaobao can't do it, Yu Shaobao is too upright, he will put this matter on the table and say, when the time comes, His Majesty will also be in a dilemma.

Hu Yicheng has no virtue, so it is most appropriate to do these things.

"What's in it?" Chen asked suspiciously while holding the letter.

He Zhang thought for a while and said: "The bad things that don't come to the fore, the bad things that some bad people in the Qian State government and the three major publicity and comfort departments have communicated inside and outside, have nothing to do with the Qian State government."

"Because I can't be named, I let Hu Shangshu handle it."

Mu Bin Jingtai, the Duke of Qian, passed away in the first year. After his death, Mu Bin's son Mu Cong was still in his infancy, and had to let Mu Lin, a descendant of Uncle Dingbian's grandson, take over the town.

Mu Lin is good at fighting and has a reputation in Yunnan and Guizhou, but he is not very old, so some side branches of the Duke of Qian's government have their eyes on Mu Lin, the acting town.

Here are some evidence collected by He Zhang, but not ironclad evidence.

The government of Qian State has always been loyal, even if it is in the hands of a side branch, this point has not changed at all. After all, Mu Lin is a deputy town, and it is not easy to deal with some people.

And this matter is not easy to say on the stage, if His Majesty implicates the Duke of Qian's government because of this, or even moves the Duke of Qian's mind to move inward, then there will be serious troubles in the Yunnan-Guizhou border of the Ming Dynasty.

But it can be regarded as a credit, it is the "life money" left by He Zhang to his wife and children.

"If I come back, I will naturally continue to investigate, so I won't bother Hu Shangshu to do it for me." He Zhang told his wife.

Chen carefully put away the letter, pursed her lips and said, "You must come back alive."

"Relax." He Zhang sat down at the desk again, without writing.

At this moment, he suddenly understood Hu's real purpose.

Hu's purpose, of course, is revenge. After serving as an official for 40 years, he was accused of being immoral in the Fengtian Temple.

Said that Hu Wei, as the Duke of Ming with the miraculous merit card, still hopes that Daming will have a good day, a good tomorrow, and a good day every day.

Hu Wei's tormenting He Zhang like this is also to temper him, let him really grow up, and completely kill the unhealthy tendencies of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Daming came out of the Winter Preface, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate seems to be still in the Winter Preface, unable to keep up with the trend of the times, and will inevitably be eliminated by the times.

He Zhang suddenly found himself in the trap of Hu Wei's logic. He was trapped so miserably, and he had to thank this person, and even entrusted his family's life and death to him with great efforts.

He Zhang regretted not being at the beginning, so he should not have impeached Hu Wei Wude.

In the early morning of the next day, the Ministry of Rites started a one-day meeting. Hu Wei, who hadn't attended the meeting for a long time, rarely appeared on the meeting.

Hu Wei is very leisurely now. After all, he is old and his energy is limited. He goes to Tai'an Palace every day to teach the emperor's heirs to read, and he also has to wash the ground for His Majesty.

But no one doubted Hu Ming's expertise in etiquette.

"This time His Majesty decided to let Zongxian He go. Everyone knows the conflict between Hu and Zongxian He, but state affairs are the most important thing, and His Majesty comes first." Hu Wei first expressed his attitude.

One of the basic principles he has always followed is that the most important thing to be a minister is to be respectful. No matter what your majesty considers, since your majesty has made up his mind, then Hu Yi will firmly implement it.

He will not disagree with His Majesty, this is his way of life.

Hu Wei said to Yang Shan who was sitting next to him: "Yang Shan, Minister of Honglu Temple, told Tuotuo Buhua that the two Tatar princes, Tuo Gusimengke and Marco Guergis, were in Siyi, Tianjin Wei. Go to school."
