In the cabinet duty room.
Xu Youzhen sat where Yu Qian sat, and Han Yong sat where Li Xian sat.
One is by the east window and the other is by the west window.
Over the years, the layout of the cabinet duty room has not changed. Behind the two people are two bookshelves, which are filled with official documents and miscellaneous items. The traces left by Li Xian and Yu Qian in this room back then , it is still clearly visible at this time.
The environment has not changed, only the people have changed.
Before, when Li Xian and Yu Qian were around, they could chat for a few words, but at this time, Han Yong and Xu Youzhen hardly said a word except for official business.
After Li Xian's death, Xu Youzhen had already begun to perform the duties of the chief assistant of the cabinet. Acting as the chief assistant, he had already boarded the ship and just had to buy a ticket.
When Gao Yi arrived at the cabinet duty room, Xu Youzhen was processing official documents.
Seeing Gao Yi coming, Xu Youzhen knew very well that His Majesty the Emperor was looking for her. At that moment, she put down the official document in her hand and greeted him: "Eunuch Gao, what kind of wind has brought you here..."
"Master Xu, are you kidding me? If His Majesty hadn't summoned you, even the strong wind wouldn't be able to blow me away..."
Han Yong, who was sitting aside, raised his head after hearing the conversation between the two, glanced at Xu Youzhen, and then immediately lowered his head.
Most of the officials in the cabinet have good relations with the eunuchs in the inner court. Yu Qian and Zhang Bao, Li Xian and Zhao Huanong, Xu Youzhen and Gao Yi, but Han Yong has been in the cabinet for so many years and has never been with a powerful person. The eunuch who had any personal relationship was considered an outlier. M.biQuge.biZ
This time, when Gao Yi came over, Han Yong didn't even have the intention to stand up.
However, it was precisely because of his insistence on integrity that Han Yong became the crown prince and grand master...
On the way to Qianqing Palace, Xu Youzhen asked Gao Yi more than once, why did the Emperor summon him?
Gao Yi said: Your Excellency will know after arriving at Qianqing Palace. ,
Xu Youzhen saw that Gao Yi did not say anything, so she changed the angle of inquiry: How is your majesty feeling?
However, Gao Yi still said as he said before, you will know after arriving at Qianqing Palace.
This made Xu Youzhen somewhat less confident.
He thought he knew His Majesty very well. He had done a lot of guessing about the Holy Will over the years, and of course he guessed a lot of things right.
Panicked, he entered the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Jianshen continued to look at the memorial as usual. After Xu Youzhen saluted, he turned his attention from the memorial to Xu Youzhen.
"Xu Aiqing, I am flat..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Xu Youzhen finished speaking, he slowly stood up.
"Here, show Xu Youzhen the memorial of Zhan Yang." Zhu Jianshen said, then picked up the memorial of Zhan Yang and handed it to Gao Yi.
After Gao Yi took the memorial with both hands, he walked slowly towards Xu Youzhen and handed the memorial to Xu Youzhen.
After Xu Youzhen took the memorial, she glanced at Zhu Jianshen, but her hands did not move.
He didn't dare to look.
"Look, this is the memorial written by Zhan Yang, who has been with you through thick and thin for more than 20 years. Look at what a mess you have become. Such a good colleague has already submitted a memorial to impeach you." Zhu Jianshen said softly.
When Xu Youzhen heard what His Majesty the Emperor said, she was shocked: "Your Majesty, since this is a memorial to impeach the minister, how dare the minister dare to read it..."
Xu Youzhen raised the memorial high as she spoke.
"Humph, I don't dare to say that now. When you asked Zhan Yang to write such a memorial, you didn't dare at all..."
After listening to Zhu Jianshen's words, Xu Youzhen was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, I don't know why your Majesty said this..."
"You and I both know it well. You don't want to admit it, so I won't ask any more questions. Xu Aiqing, are you ready to be the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty?"
When Xu Youzhen heard these words, her heart was trembling. It's finally my turn... It's finally my turn...
"I'm ready."
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, he nodded with satisfaction...
He looked at Xu Youzhen, feeling a little dazed. In the blink of an eye, he had been the emperor for so many years.
The next day.
The Chief of Ceremonies issued an imperial decree appointing Xu Youzhen as the chief minister of the cabinet. After the news came out, it caused another uproar.
Such a big scandal came out.
Xu Youzhen actually succeeded in taking the position.
This is unimaginable...
Waves of opposition from officials came one after another, but when faced with imperial power, they were somewhat insatiable.
But Xu Youzhen endured the abuse, pressure, and ridicule, and took office, becoming the third chief assistant of the Chenghua Dynasty.
………………
Lucky port.
Ming's fleet arrived at the port a year ago.
And Cao Jixiang also took Wang Zhi and 30,000 people from the large fleet into the walled city built last time...
When the Ming army entered the walled city, they found that hundreds of barbarians were already occupying the walled city. Cao Jixiang ordered the capture of the barbarians, and then began a one-year infrastructure project.
The original walled city must be built into a city with the characteristics of Chinese civilization.
This time, thousands of craftsmen came here to build the city.
The Ming army began to capture indigenous people everywhere to work.
Within a year, the city wall built to rely on the harbor was completed, and then began the long process of building houses...
Before setting off, His Majesty the Emperor named the first city in the New World...
Great Seoul.
This time I came here to cultivate and develop farming.
More than ten miles outside the city, there are cultivated fertile fields. In addition to corn and sweet potatoes, some wheat and millet cultivation from the Ming Dynasty were also brought...
The people who take care of these crops every day are also captured indigenous people, and soldiers guard the work...
And Cao Jixiang has always had Wang Zhi by his side, not only handling navigation affairs, but also developing layout in the New World. Wang Zhi has always been a core participant.
This time the fleet sailed on the sea for a year. Eighty-four people died of illness, and three ships and more than 400 people were lost due to the storm. This was a heavy price paid on the voyage. If the nation wants to become strong, it must gain To make progress, someone must pay the price and make sacrifices...
Of course, there are many unknown heroes, and after Cao Jixiang arrived at Jixiang Port, the first thing he did was to record the names of those who died at sea and were missing, and engraved them on stone tablets to pass them down to future generations forever...
And this time after Cao Jixiang arrived in the New World, the return date set by the large forces was ten years later...
Although the large fleet would not return to the Ming Dynasty, the connection with the Ming Dynasty would not be interrupted. After the city was built, Cao Jixiang sent two ships back to the Ming Dynasty along the waterway to report to His Majesty the Emperor. However, when the Emperor saw the It was already a year later when this report was made.
The first fire of civilization burned in the New World, and this time it was the Han people who came to the New World, and it was the Han people who brought civilization...
The world has changed.
And the Han nation was also one step ahead in the Age of Discovery...
