Chapter One Three Three Return to China

When Li Junhua delivered this letter to Li Jundu, he was foolish because he knew that if he was not ashamed of his attitude, no matter how sincere his words were, his words would be regarded as hypocritical and false righteous by his elder brother. After all, the battle for the throne back then was a whirlpool that the elder brother could never get out of in his life.

Therefore, this letter did not go through the secret channels between the royal families of the two countries. This channel was actually established early, and it was a communication between private letters between the royal families of the two countries. Of course, in the years since its establishment, only Li Jundu had a communication with his parents in the empire, and the two brothers had never communicated.

Li Junhua ordered the people of the Security Bureau to deliver the letter to the embassy of the Empire in Agra according to the diplomatic channels. It contained a private message from the emperor in diplomatic emails. In this way, the embassy of the Empire to India would not dare to dismantle and read after receiving it, but would also be worried that it would delay the trip back to the country, so he would definitely ask the emperor's brother, the emperor, to solve the problem.

Li Junhua knew his younger brother very well. Li Junwei was always curious about other people's privacy. Li Junhua was not married yet. When he was in the northern expedition to Mobei, he went to work in front of the army and had letters with the future queen who was in the capital. Any time he passed by Li Junwei's hands, he would be peeked at.

Li Junhua, who had never had a private letter to his elder brother, suddenly sent a letter to his elder brother after the Indian coup. This alone was enough for Li Junwei to open it, not to mention that the content inside must involve Li Junwei.

As long as Li Junwei sees the letter written to Li Jundu, everything will be easy.

Li Junhua didn't know how to successfully get his elder brother to accept his arrangement, but he knew that as long as he followed this process and reached Li Junwei's hands, it would definitely be solved with his younger brother's intelligence.

As Li Junhua expected, when Li Junwei saw the letter, he felt that this was a good way to solve the problem. He was never afraid that someone in China would deliberately punish him, because he always regarded revenge on political enemies as his main affairs in the country. It was not that he had this hobby, but that Li Junwei believed that this was the complementary advantage between him and his second brother Li Junhua.

In Li Junwei's eyes, his second brother Li Junhua was really too upright. This emperor who restrained himself with a gentleman's virtue was really a bit pedantic. Sometimes, he was willing to use some extraordinary means to solve some people and things for his brother.

But this time it was a little different. There were too many people who opposed it this time, and there was a faint momentum of forming a clique, which could no longer be solved by cutting the mess with a quick knife.

Li Junwei also used a small trick. He deliberately took the letter to the prince's uterus and deliberately let the slaves in charge of cleaning see it. Li Junwei knew clearly that there must be the elder brother's eyewitness among these people, and it may not be the one who monitored him, but Li Zhaogui, who was the prince. And these people did see the letter and copied a copy and sent it to Li Jundu, completely making his arrangements clear.

At this time, Li Jundu knew that Li Junwei had encountered public criticisms in China. He didn't care because it was in line with his purpose and might force his younger brother to stay. However, when he saw this letter, Li Jundu knew that his plan had failed again.

In order to protect King Yu, Li Junhua even begs for his help, so he has explained two points.

Li Junhua will never let his younger brother Regal stay in India.

Li Junhua will excuse Li Junwei for everything he did in India at all costs, and may do something extraordinary.

In Li Jundu's opinion, as an emperor, it is too easy to resolve the dispute below. Just kill a few leaders and cause trouble. Since King Yu's departure is inevitable, Li Jundu doesn't want Li Junhua to be this good person, so he immediately let Li Junwei enter the palace to help his younger brother resolve the accusations from the country.

Li Jundu did two things, one was business and the other was peaceful diplomacy.

After the establishment of the Hindustan Empire, the country's foreign trade was completely monopolized in the hands of the Hou tribe. In order to strengthen management, the entire empire had only one trading port in Diwu. In order to let Li Junwei explain, Li Jundu increased the trading port to four, but the three newly added were all colonies of the colonists. But this was still precious and helped to start the trade expansion of the empire in India that was the industrial revolution.

Peaceful diplomacy is not between the empire, and the diplomacy of the two countries has always been close and separated. Li Jundu is not ready to change these. The so-called peaceful diplomacy is to accept the diplomatic mediation of His Highness Yu of the Empire and reach a peace agreement with enemies on the subcontinents such as the Mughal Dynasty that have always been hostile.

Although these contributions are in Li Junwei, they are still in line with India's interests. Li Jundu's opening of trade was based on the introduction of advanced empire technology. Peaceful diplomacy also took a certain period of recovery after India experienced a civil strife.

Of course, these are all manifestations of Li Junwei's "actual diplomatic achievements" to the country. Rumors such as India's preparation to open up completely and wanting to jointly conquer Persia with the empire, and other rumors have also been intentionally launched. Although everyone knows that these are rumors, they are all things that can be reported in newspapers with large titles, which will make King Yu's trip to India more effective.

Although the two brothers competed with wits and courage and showed their magical powers, Li Junwei was really profitable. It was originally an accident to go to India, but he did not expect to put a perfect end to his overseas animation in recent years.

Since King Yu's trip to India achieved such great results and had great benefits for state ownership, some public criticisms were self-defeating. For a long time, the emperor who implemented the policy of inclusiveness also ordered strict investigations, and indeed arrested a large number of people, which was also an explanation to King Yu.

Look, someone scolds you and I avenge you, so you can't counterattack when you come back.

"Why are you the only one? Why didn't the emperor come to pick me up?" Li Junwei asked in confusion when he saw that King Lin Junhong was the only one on the dock.

Lin Junhong naturally would not regard King Yu's words as disrespectful, after all, this is about the matter between brothers. "I am sick and I feel particularly uncomfortable these two days and can't get out of bed." Lin Junhong said helplessly.

"What's going on?" Li Junwei frowned.

The three Li brothers, the eldest brother, fought for decades, and did not look like he was long-lived. Li Junwei also felt that he had been traveling too much and was not very healthy over the years. Only his second brother, Li Junhua, was pampered in China, and was healthy and cherished on weekdays. He neither took pills nor believed in immortality, nor did he have the bad habit of lust. Even if he was too busy on weekdays, he had not been an emperor for a day or two, and he had never had the disease and could not get out of bed.

"Li Zhaoji causes trouble..." Lin Junhong whispered about the prince. After all, the emperor did not hide the matter of Li Zhaoji burning his classmates that day.

"So that's how it is." After hearing this, Li Junwei was quite helpless. He did not show too much emotion. He has formed a habit over the years and must not listen to the words of the whole family.

Lin Junhong said: "So when you come back this time, don't cause trouble. It's hard for the emperor to be a good person."

Li Junwei nodded slightly. He had no idea of ​​revenge immediately. The two of them got on the carriage and were talking all the way. Lin Junhong remembered something: "By the third brother, there is one thing you are going to be disappointed."

"It's okay to just say it."

"I heard that when you were in Europe, Sir Newton, who promised the British, would come to the empire and would protect him into the Academy of Sciences, and would agree to a high treatment?" Lin Junhong asked on his own initiative.

Li Junwei did not deny this. After all, he heard his father mention Newton when he was a teenager. He was a character in textbooks in later generations. His father Li Mingxun was obsessed with him and could not forget him at all.

Lin Junhong said: "This matter is not easy to deal with. Half a month ago, Tan Tai sent a message from Lisbon, saying that Newton really wanted to come to the empire and request political refuge. Ask us, are the conditions you promised to count?"

Li Junwei was surprised because Newton expressed his determination not to come several times. Lin Junhong said what he learned. It turned out that the civil war in Britain had become more and more bloody. Newton was not a big shot in the era of William III, but he was still retaliated and liquidated by James II and was already penniless.

Civil wars continue, and for people like Newton, Britain is already in a state of chaos that "can't let go of a quiet desk". If he wants to live and continue his dreams, he has to leave Britain. Although Newton can flee to Protestant countries such as the Netherlands like many people in the UK, these countries cannot give Li Junwei the treatment he promised.

Therefore, after fleeing to Amsterdam and temporarily resettled, Newton immediately asked about the news here through the Imperial Embassy in the Netherlands.

"Since this guy is at a loss, let him do it." Li Junwei didn't think this was a big problem.

"It doesn't matter, you can give money. The key is that you promised him to join the Imperial Academy of Sciences, which is almost impossible. For this reason, I asked the Academy of Sciences, and the answer I gave was that was no," said Lin Junhong.

Li Junwei didn't understand: "What's wrong with it? Just ask the emperor to give an imperial edict."

"You have been out for many years and the rules have been changed long ago. Now you can't get it into the Academy of Sciences by just one imperial edict. If you want to get the recommendation of more than three academicians in the Academy of Sciences, if there are more than three oppositions, you have to vote. This is the rule that the emperor personally changed. Scientists say that science is about it and it is enough to give money to the scientists." Lin Junhong said.

Whether it is the imperial royal family or the imperial government, they are enthusiastic about scientific development and are always generous in funding support. The empire is not short of money, whether it is a national university or a similar research institution in the Academy of Sciences. Because in the era of Lee Myung-hoon, universities and research institutions were few landlords in the empire. When big cities such as Shin Kyung and Penang were established, the imperial emperor gave many good areas to these institutions. Therefore, the more the city develops, the more valuable the land is. These scientific institutions with land use rights can get a large amount of funds by just rent.

Li Junwei said directly: "Then find someone to recommend it. At worst, I can just fund a few projects."

"If your trick works, will I tell you this matter specifically? I will solve it myself, will I still bother you?" Lin Junhong said. When Li Junwei thought about it, he was the same. Lin Junhong was in charge of the Imperial Senate and was more convenient than him.

Li Junwei asked: "Why is that?"

Lin Junhong said helplessly: "To put it bluntly, the big bulls of the Imperial Academy of Sciences look down on Newton.

Third brother, this is not what we were when we were young. When we heard of gravity, we thought it was something great. The empire was established for 31 years, and science and technology were changing with each passing day. The scientists of the empire have brought us to the forefront of the world in science. Newton's achievements were too basic and could no longer be comparable to those of the big bulls in the Academy of Sciences.

Not to mention entering the Academy of Sciences, Sir Newton probably might not be able to fully understand the physics classes at Imperial University.

Originally, I thought that Sir Newton's three laws were considered basic science, and the income from the imperial scientific community today was all based on their shoulders and explored. This alone can convince those academicians to accept Newton."

"Yes, just do it like that." Li Junwei felt it was good.

"Yes, that's how I did it. But the group of people from the Academy of Sciences didn't know where Newton was obsessed with alchemy, and immediately refused.

Some of Newton's works and letters that actively communicated with the Imperial Academy of Sciences were also revealed. This guy is still a Christian, with partial belief in God between the lines, and sometimes he uses God to explain scientific problems.

This is completely unacceptable in front of the group of big bulls in the Academy of Sciences, and it goes against the scientific spirit of the empire." Lin Junhong explained in a very difficult situation.

Lee Myung-hoon is a materialist and atheist. His ideas are not only passed on to his children and the next generation around him, but also to the scientific community of the empire.

In this era, even those who were regarded as masters of science by later generations had higher enthusiasm for religion than for science.

For example, Newton was not a typical deist because he did not think that God only provided the first push, but Newton believed that after the creation of the world, God needed to take action to maintain the operation of the world. As long as God was mentioned, it would be unwilling to be the scientific community of the empire.

When Lin Junhong went to the Academy of Sciences, he hoped to ease it. In view of Newton's contribution to basic science, he applied for the title of honorary academician for him. But it was still refuted. Some even said that he would rather give an honorary academician to an empire's primary school mathematics teacher than to give this title to a charlatan.

When Li Junwei heard this, he could only shake his head: "Newton is right, and the Academy of Sciences is not wrong."

"Then how to solve this problem?" Lin Junhong said.
