On the fifth day of the first month of the thirty-fourth year of Taiping in the Ming Dynasty, February 4, 1805 AD, the weather turned cloudy and sunny in Shuntian Mansion, the capital.

"The biggest crisis since the revival of the Ming Dynasty. It is unwise to pit one country against the whole world."
"The wealth of the world is gathered in the Ming Dynasty, and the wealth of the Ming Dynasty is gathered in the royal family. If the royal family challenges the whole world, how can it be undefeated?" 》.
"The Anti-Ming Alliance issued a joint announcement that the Ming Empire will stop all expansionary actions in Dashi (West Asia), Mozhou (Africa), and Yinzhou (America). This is a prerequisite for peace talks between the alliance and the Ming Empire."
"The Western Yi countries are all powerful external forces and are unable to capture the Ming Dynasty. The fundamental priority is to appease the civil uprising."
Zhu Jingyuan, who had recovered the memory of his previous life, looked at the news in various domestic and foreign newspapers in front of him and shouted from the depths of his soul:
"Damn it, how did Daming become like this!"
This is not only Zhu Jingyuan's wonder at this time and space itself, but also his wonder at the current situation of the Ming Empire.
The Ming Empire in this strange time and space before us can be said to be extremely powerful. Even if it challenges the whole world, it may not lose.
However, while challenging the whole world, they also have to deal with rebellions in vassal states across half of the world, and deal with the spreading local civil unrest, which is a bit inadequate.
In Zhu Jingyuan's view, the current situation has become extremely serious. If it is not handled properly, the huge empire may collapse directly.
As the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Jingyuan instinctively thought from the perspective of the royal family on how to maintain the rule of the Zhu family dynasty.
At this moment, the sound of a car engine came from outside the room.
The sound suddenly came from far to near, and finally settled in the yard next door, where Zhu Jingyuan's father lived.
"It's dark outside. Dad is going out at this time. Is there an emergency imperial meeting?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Jingyuan immediately got up, put on his imperial robes, walked out of his room and yard quickly, and went to the yard next door to see the situation.
Zhu Jingyuan's father, Zhu Jianyan, is 45 years old this year and is the second son of the current Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Zhongliang. At this time, accompanied by his secretary, he was preparing to get in the car and go out.
The lights in the luxurious prince's residence were brightly lit, and the car engine, which resembled the World War I era, was not turned off, blowing hot air in the harsh spring cold.
Zhu Jianyan himself was deeply concerned, and the expression on his face was particularly solemn. From the corner of his eye, he saw his son running next door, but there was no reaction.
Zhu Jingyuan saw that his father was not looking at him at all, and seemed to be ready to get in the car and leave, so he immediately took the initiative and shouted:
"Dad, it's so late, where are you going now?"
In this era, the royal family no longer had many rules when talking in private, and the titles between family members were no different from those of ordinary people.
When Zhu Jianyan heard his son's voice, he seemed to wake up from his thoughts. After looking back at Zhu Jingyuan, he sighed softly and shook his head and said:
"That anti-Ming alliance sent a note, vaguely expressing the intention of peace talks, so your grandfather invited me to the palace to discuss it.
"Although you are already qualified to participate, peace talks in this form are not a glorious resume. There is no need for you to take advantage of it."
Zhu Cixiang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, posthumously named Emperor Guangwu, and a suspected time traveler, reformed and created a large number of unprecedented new systems in the process of rebuilding the Ming Dynasty.
Because the reign title used by Emperor Sejo was Renwu, these new systems were collectively called the "Renwu New System", and the change of the system was called the "Renwu Reform".
It is not the common "New Deal", but a unique "New System", because it completely subverted the "ancestral system", but also formed a new ancestral system.
According to the new system of Renwu, princes and princes no longer serve as feudal vassals, but princes, grandsons and clan members can all participate in politics.
Zhu Jianyan is a prince, and his title is prince. He is now the minister of Honglu Temple, and he is in charge of foreign negotiations.
After the restructuring of Renwu, foreign affairs were separated from the Ministry of Rites and other related departments, and were completely placed under the exclusive management of Honglu Temple.
Honglu Temple became the de facto Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and its status was elevated to the same level as the other six ministries.
The Minister of Honglu Temple became the de facto Minister of Foreign Affairs, and his status was elevated to the level of the Six Ministers.
At the same time, all princes and grandsons can apply to observe the Imperial Council meetings from the age of 12, and can speak with permission at the age of 15.
Zhu Jingyuan turned 15 at the beginning of this year and is already qualified to participate in meetings with his father.
This is why Zhu Jingyuan heard the sound of the car and guessed that there might be an urgent imperial meeting, so he ran out directly.
Now that Zhu Jingyuan had confirmed the news, he quickly ran to his father Zhu Jianyan and expressed his views directly:
"The other party is interested in peace talks, and grandpa should cooperate. Anyway, the war has continued until now, and neither side has taken any big advantage.
“Although we lost some colonies, they were all barren overseas lands and were not considered actual losses at all.
"If we continue to fight, it will probably end in a lose-lose situation for both sides. After the ceasefire, we can concentrate on dealing with the turmoil in the feudal country and appeasing the popular uprising."
As soon as Zhu Jingyuan finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and fell silent.
Zhu Jianyan on the other side sighed softly:
"I am the Minister of Honglu Temple, in charge of foreign affairs. After the rebirth of the Ming Dynasty, no Minister of Honglu Temple has signed the armistice agreement that resulted in the loss of territory."
