Chapter 60 Zheng He's Chart
The ancient civilization of self-sufficient civilization, Tianfang Kingdom, everything has so many similarities with the Ming Dynasty, that Zhu Houzhao always unconsciously regards it as his own country, and the Libra of emotion naturally falls on the side of Tianfang Kingdom.
When he heard that this great power gradually lag behind the Western countries, and when the Renaissance, technological development, astronomy, physics, and chemistry of the Western countries all progressed thousands of miles a day and had sharpened their swords and wanted to get involved in the Tianfang, the Tianfang Kingdom was still blindly arrogant and declining. He was so angry that his face turned red. He slapped the table and cursed: "This emperor is so stupid, I'm so angry!"
When he heard that the Eight Kingdoms devils relied on strong ships and powerful cannons, a few thousand people broke into the capital of the Tianfang Kingdom and burned a magnificent building built with the power of the country, even Gu Dayong was so angry that his face rose with blue veins and said sharply: "The emperor of that country is so stupid. Hundreds of thousands of troops can't do anything to a few thousand people. Poor, hateful!"
Yang Ling sighed: "Those countries were as poor as beggars compared to the Tianfang Kingdom, but they were never arrogant and attached great importance to exchanges. This country invented the Clippers, and another country immediately went to learn. That country invented the cannons that were farther and more powerful than the general's cannons. This country immediately sent people to learn and invented the cannons that were more powerful than them. They were constantly developing, but that big country was indifferent and thought that I was the best in the world. How could it be unbeaten?"
Zhu Houzhao slapped the table and said, "Is that kind of pirate's three-masted and multi-masted boat very amazing? I think it's because Tianfangguo is incompetent. If he encounters the giant ship of my marching, hum!"
He asked Gu Dayong, "Dayong, where is the drawing of the treasure ship for our Yongle to go to the West? Transfer it to me and let Yang Shidu see how it is better than the small boat in the Esperanto?"
Gu Dayong lowered his waist, and a round and fat face said with a respectful smile: "Go back to the prince, the sea line map of Eunuch Zheng's voyage to the West, and the treasure ship map were originally placed in the Nanjing Ministry of Works. He was transferred to the Ministry of War of the Capital during the reign of Emperor Yingzong. At that time, he wanted to use it when he went to the West.
But when the Minister Liu Daxia heard about this, he felt that it was useless to travel the West to waste people and lose money. This chart was really a seedling that harmed the country, so he hid it. I guess he was still thrown in the Great Curtain of the Ministry of War.”
Yang Ling was shocked when he heard this and blurted out, "What? Didn't the navigation chart burn?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was alert and speechless, and he couldn't help but feel regretful. Although he remembered that the chart was burned by Liu Daxia, who was upright but short-sighted, he couldn't remember when it happened. If that hadn't happened yet, wouldn't it be suspicious?
Gu Dayong glanced at him with a smile and thought to himself: "This Yang Ling is indeed from the Jinyiwei. Their hands are stretched wide enough. Even this secret is known. Hehe, but unfortunately he still knows what I know is not as detailed as mine."
Gu Dayong deliberately showed off and smiled proudly: "Yang Shiduo doesn't know anything. That matter is just a misinformation. At that time, Liu Daxia was just a small minister. Although he didn't want to ask the emperor to see this chart, he didn't have the courage to burn it. There were five big boxes of that thing. If he burned it, how could he hide it from others? Could he not be able to do it?
Haha, he persuaded the Minister of War, Mr. Xiang Zhong, who thought what he said was reasonable, so he acquiesced to him to hide the things. He just lied to Emperor Yingzong that there were too many official documents moving from Nanjing to the north and could not find their whereabouts. He thought that if Emperor Yingzong was forced to force him to take them out and presented them. However, Emperor Yingzong had just thought about it at that time. He heard that the official documents were lost, so he didn't care much, so he hid it."
Yang Ling said half-believingly: "Is what Eunuch Gu said true? This chart is still there?"
Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "Gu Dayong is well-informed and memorable. This is his strength. Dayong doesn't read much, but his memory is very good. He said he must be there. He used to be in the East Factory, and the guys in the East Factory have a more practical nose than mine."
It turned out that in the eighth year of Hongzhi, the emperor also favored a great eunuch Li Guang. He was accused of Buddhism and Taoism, and refining elixirs and medicine, which caused a lot of trouble in the court. Gu Dayong was at that time in front of Li Guang and Yang Peng and several favored traitors. Later, Li Guang saw that Liu Daxia and other loyal ministers who were still favored by Hongzhi kept writing letters and accusing their friends of being traitors and blocking their master's minds. He sent Gu Dayong to transfer the people from the East Factory to collect information from these people, trying to defeat them.
Therefore, Gu Dayong knew everything about Liu Daxia's past, but he was not lucky enough to get the materials for his prank. Li Guang died of illness as soon as he got them. Then Emperor Hongzhi, who was still obsessed, sent someone to his house to search for the heavenly books. However, the heavenly books were not found, but found a large amount of gold, silver and treasures. Only then did he believe that the ministers said that Li Guangzang was bribed. This led to the collapse of Li Guang's party. Their confidants lost their holy family. Gu Dayong was driven out of the east factory by the new factory governor Wang Yue and the father-in-law. After so many years, he tried his best to get on the side of the prince.
Gu Dayong smiled and owed his body with a smile, lowered his eyes and said, "Crown Prince Xie's praise, but for so many years, I'm worried that the paper would be poorly kept. If it gets wet and moldy, it's very useless."
Yang Ling said to Zhu Houzhao with surprise and joy: "Prince, I don't know how many skilled craftsmen's thoughts were exhausted in the past. Although they may not be able to build giant ships again, there are many references to building excellent small ships. What is even more rare is those navigation charts, the vast sea is not as vast as land, and those sea line charts are all roads made with a lot of money."
Zhu Houzhao didn't know why he was so excited, so he looked at him strangely and pondered: "Well, Liu Daxia? That stubborn old man is now the Minister of War. I'm afraid he wants to take things out of him."
"Why? Can't even the prince bring things out of him?" Yang Ling was disappointed when he heard this. Zhu Houzhao was inspired by him and immediately raised her chest and said, "Although Liu Daxia is a favored minister around her father, he will not dare to offend me, but he is a first-rank official after all, and he will be the first-class person I sent, and he will return without success if he wants to make excuses?"
Yang Ling's eyes rolled and said, "Since that's the case, what if the prince went there in person?"
Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "If I go to ask for something in person, he would not dare not give it to me, but" he said with a bitter face: "It is harder than climbing to the sky. Only my father takes me out a few times a year. The Beijing exams are about to begin these days. Several of my masters are busy selecting scholars in the spring exam. They have no time to teach me these days. My father is afraid that I will waste my studies, so he assigned a bunch of things to me for writing, and he ordered the concubines in Chunfang to take turns to supervise it. It is really hard to move forward."
Chunfang is a yamen subordinate to Tai*. Two officials, Zuo Chunfang's left son and Youchunfang's right son, are responsible for the prince's studies. These officials who serve as illegitimate sons are all upright and even some foolish Hanlin scholars. They have always been disregarded by relatives and are selfless. With their supervision, they are even more terrifying than the Grand Secretary's teaching in person. Zhu Houzhao felt a headache when he remembered.
Yang Ling knew that the design drawings of the giant ship designed by countless skilled craftsmen and the ocean road maps for traveling south and west were still in the world, so how could he bear to destroy it? He felt itchy for a moment. Seeing that the prince was in a dilemma, he asked anxiously: "What is the situation? The officials in Chunfang will not supervise the prince's study?"
Gu Dayong said: "Yang Shidu, if the prince is feeling uncomfortable, he can suspend the class."
Yang Lingxi said: "That's good. Is the prince just pretending to be sick?"
Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes and said, "How easy is it? If I say I feel uncomfortable, the team of troops from the Imperial Hospital will immediately enter the East Palace. When the matter is exposed, my father will definitely blame me."
It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao has a very good relationship with his father, and he is respectful and fearful, and is very unwilling to make him angry. Yang Ling smiled and said, "What's the problem? The prince only said one side of his head and let him know the medicine and his ability to be divine, he could only ask the prince to rest well, and no one dared to prove that the prince was not sick."
Zhu Houzhao said half-believingly: "Is this true? There are quite a few national medical masters in the Imperial Hospital."
Yang Ling had a strong chest and looked like an old god-like charlatan, saying, "Don't worry, the prince should just use this plan, which will definitely cover the imperial doctor's eyes and ears."
The human brain is the most complex organ of the human body. Modern medicine is so developed that it cannot fully diagnose the brain's symptoms. When he is doing claims work in an insurance company, if he meets the other party as his own classmates or relatives, he will give the other party this idea. As long as he goes to the hospital, he will say a headache. Even if he is healthy and lively, it will definitely be impossible for any instrument to prove that he is lying.
He didn't believe that the ancient genius doctors would dare to say that a person was not sick unless he was a quack doctor who only showed off. But the current prince is the prince. Even if he was willing to show off, he would not dare to guarantee that he was not sick. If he was really sick and delayed, it would be a crime of beheading.
Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed when she heard this, and jumped up and said, "Hahaha, it's so good. The day after tomorrow it will be the spring exam. I will start to have a headache after noon tomorrow!"
He pointed to Gu Dayong majesticly and said, "Dayong, call Liu Jin, Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng, Luo Xiang, Wei Bin, Qiu Ju, and Zhang Yong all of them. You cobblers will give me a plan together to make me escape from the palace, hahahaha."
When Yang Ling heard the familiar wicked jujube mentioned by Xiao Houzhao, who was about to skip class, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It seemed that the eight tigers in the capital were going to gather in the East Palace today. But if he wanted Zhengde to follow the path he designed, he would really rely on these eight people for the time being.
Because what Yang Ling wanted to portray was not a "absurd emperor", but it was not the "monarch of Yao and Shun" in the eyes of the scholars and officials. The Chinese rulers were anesthetized by the lies in the sky and the lies in the middle of China for too long. They were self-confidence, and what they lacked the most was ambition. Those scholars had been studying the scriptures all over the years, blindly learning from the ancestors' family rules, and they did not understand the past, and what they lacked the most was vision.
As long as a ray of lively spring is introduced into this pool of stagnant water, the future generations will be a completely different situation. But at the same time, he is also playing with fire. If he is not careful in guiding, he will not be able to achieve great things. If he has ambition but no talent, he will become a powerful tyrant. It would be better to let him be the Fengliu emperor among women.
Will I succeed? If I fail, what will future generations evaluate later in a hundred years?"
A strange bitter smile appeared on the corner of Yang Ling's mouth, as if he heard the passionate voiceover at the beginning of a martial arts film:
During the Zhengde period, the traitor Yang Ling and Bahu colluded with each other and framed the loyal and kind, causing chaos in the court and the people to live in misery. The chivalrous people in the martial arts world resisted, and staged a series of heroic scenes.
