There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 411

Although Wu Youwei said it was commonplace, but Zhang Shen couldn't let people eat ordinary food at his place.

But it doesn't matter if it's too luxurious, because the food provided to them in Beijing can't be that luxurious. After all, there are also specifications for the reception of diplomatic missions in the capital.

So he can only do something on the dishes.

The four dishes are all Shanghai local dishes, such as salted Duxian, braised pork, three shredded buckwheat, and boiled chicken.

A seafood soup, a Sixi dumplings.

Bai Mo chatted with the other party, and said to them: "I've never seen these people before, Shanghai cuisine!"

That look, triumphant.

"Then eat more." Wu Youwei said: "Because they came from afar, and Ryukyu is also a seaside country, so there is no habit of preparing fish, and I hope they eat it."

After Bai Mo translated, they bowed their hands to Wu Youwei one after another, and then shook their cheeks and started eating.

Wu Youwei was just being polite. In fact, they ate very happily!

There was also a toast during the period, and Zhang Shen also put on airs, and exchanged official articles with the other party.

On the other hand, the other party made another request. They hoped to do business with Daming, and their love for glass was exactly what Zhang Shen thought. They just wanted a glass fruit plate, saying that they liked it, and wanted to take it back as a collection. Taste.

However, Zhang Shen firmly refused.

This was specially ordered by him, the glass products of the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, how could they be given away alone?And there are hundreds of pieces in a set, what would it look like without one?

He spent a lot of money!

Wu Youwei even sent a lot of them to Beijing, which can be regarded as their tribute from Shanghai County this year. There are actually some in Beijing, but there are not as many kinds of cooking as they do. After all, there is Wu Youwei here, is he a cheater?

It seems that Bai Mo was not surprised because he had seen so many situations like this. Instead, he talked to the other party for a long time. After hearing this, the other party was very depressed, and even ate a plate of dumplings...or it may be I am full.

But they asked to stay in Shanghai County for three days, meaning they wanted to see the prosperity of Daming.

"The prosperity of Ming Dynasty should go to Beijing or Nanjing." Wantong felt that it was inappropriate for them to stay here, so they should send them away quickly.

But the other party wanted to stay here and take a look.

There is no other way, Zhang Shen has no choice but to let Bai Mo work harder, stay with him!

On the way back with Wantong, Wu Youwei and Wantong were still talking about them. This envoy didn't seem very formal.

"How much insight can someone from a small place have?" Wan Tongdao: "What you said is the situation of later generations. Now...they haven't reached that level yet."

Well, it's still early anyway. Wu Youwei said: "Slowly improve, it will be fine."

"You have never been there, and you don't know what's going on there. The local kings are not very good, let alone these petty officials." Wantong said with contempt: "They came to Daming to take advantage of it."

This sentence is really right.

For the next three days, they wanted to see everything in Shanghai, but unfortunately, they were short of cash.

Because Wu Youwei didn't ask the merchants to give them free, but just gave them a discount, so they couldn't afford it.

I wanted to make a point with a cheeky face, but it can be seen that Wu Youwei himself is not there, and others have no right to waive the bill.

And once the three days are up, they have to set off.

As foreigners who go deep into the interior, their itineraries are all arranged, and it is impossible for them to go casually, that is, when they landed, they just chose Shanghai, otherwise they would not be able to enter, Shanghai County.

After sending these people away, Wu Youwei didn't take it seriously, and continued to do what he should do.

Next year will be his sixth year here, and it's time to collect taxes from the year after next

So now he urgently needs to adjust his direction, and when it's time to collect taxes, he will be amazing all over the world

Wantong began to count the number of naval troops. Although there has been no battle damage, some equipment needs to be repaired, and warships also need to be increased...

The shipyard has finally developed an iron ship, and it is said that the effect is super good.

Wu Youwei didn't go to see it, but Wantong came back and said it was indeed good. As for how to do it well?Wantong didn't say anything, and Wu Youwei didn't ask.

I thought the days would be peaceful, but when I got up in the morning on Laba, I just finished drinking the hot Laba porridge, and a fast horse came to report: I will become a son in December, and I will become a king again.

"Pfft!" At that time, Wu Youwei spit out the tea with a sip!

puff! "The second one is Zhang Shen.

Wantong didn't drink tea, but he was so shocked that his face was cracked!

When it comes to King Cheng and the grievances and resentments between him and the first emperor, it is really difficult to describe in one word.

Today's saints and emperors were once deprived of the crown prince's position by King Cheng, and were even almost killed.

The twists and turns are so bizarre that I can't finish talking about it in three days, and I can't explain all kinds of secrets.

But all of a sudden, the emperor restored him the title of Emperor. This is not an ordinary thing. The whole world knows that the little housework of the royal family is not ordinary complicated.

In the change of Tumu Castle, the elder brother's throne was inherited by the younger brother. What's ridiculous is that the elder brother had a prince at that time, but he was a little younger, only one year old.

Also, the grand master led the Wacha army to the city of Beijing, the emperor was captured, and the Ming Dynasty was in jeopardy. Is Emperor Daizong a Ming emperor?

No one can tell.

But he was able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in a precarious time, and even survived the crisis safely, which is worthy of admiration.

But to say that he is a good person, even though his brother is the Supreme Emperor, he is not imprisoned in Nangong for eight years.

Whether Ming Dynasty Zong was greedy for the throne or not is irrelevant, but he abolished Ming Zhu Qizhen's son Zhu Jianshen, and made his own son Zhu Jianji the crown prince.

After the minister stated his pros and cons, Zhu Qiyu welcomed Zhu Qizhen back to the capital, imprisoned him in Nangong, and respected him as the Supreme Emperor.

And Jin Yiwei placed Zhu Qizhen under house arrest and strictly controlled it. The gate of the palace was not only locked, but also filled with lead, and food could only be delivered through a small hole.

It is said that the later Emperor Jiajing advocated Taoism, hoping to live forever, and often took elixirs.Later, I gradually disliked government affairs, and even didn't want to go to court, and wanted to find a special place to hide and practice alchemy.

The court consulted the ministers early, and everyone else said no, but Yan Song saw the emperor's mind and said: "Your Majesty can enter the Nangong to practice, which is very clean." Emperor Jiajing was jealous that his great-grandfather was imprisoned here, so he hated Yan high.

Now Emperor Xianzong actually restored the emperor title to Emperor Daizong, what does this mean?

"In the early days, the emperor took good care of the uncle's family. After all, he was the emperor who had the title of the country. How can he compile history books if he no longer has the title of emperor?" Zhang Shen wiped his mouth and became an eunuch. That's all good, the emperor is right in everything, as long as he follows the emperor's words, it will be fine.

"But... yes, the emperor is a lord of benevolence. Although Emperor Daizong has many shortcomings, he is an emperor with the title of emperor after all. There must be such a paragraph missing from the history books in the future." Wu Youwei thought that later generations seemed to know it, That is to restore the Emperor's title, otherwise, there is a section missing in the history books, who knows what's going on?

Thinking about it this way, Wu Youwei can understand Emperor Xianzong, because the "Records of Yingzong" has been compiled, so the rest is "Records of Daizong", right?

Besides, when Daizong was in power, didn't there also be cloisonne products?

This is probably the case, so Emperor Xianzong made a "Chenghua Doucai".

Wantong thought for a while: "Youwei is right."

Zhang Shen pouted, Wu Shidu was right in everything he said.

But on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wantong received the news, took the secret letter, and went to find Wu Youwei.

Zhang Shen was also there at the time. He was afraid of the cold. He came to eat Laba porridge during Laba, so he didn't want to go back immediately. It was too cold, and he didn't want to leave the brazier for a moment.

When Wantong came in, Wu Youwei was discussing with Zhang Shen, should there be more varieties of glass products?

Because the waste glass was smelted, the artisans skillfully made stained glass, this should not be wasted!

What Zhang Shen meant was to make jewelry and give it to the hostesses in the harem. This thing is crystal clear and beautiful!

But Wu Youwei thinks the glass beads with a head look pretty, don't they?

"Let people in the future say that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was so poor that he could only bring glass balls to his own women?" Wu Youwei strongly disagreed: "This is absolutely not possible! We have pearls and gems, which can make beautiful women more beautiful, without using glass !"

"How bright can gemstones be? We look at glass very well." Zhang Shen insisted: "And it's stained glass!"

"If you say no, you can't. Stained glass can be used as a glass screen, as an ornament, and it is not allowed to be carried on people." Wu Youwei insisted: "And I will have something good for the mistresses of the harem soon.

"What good thing?" Zhang Shen looked at Wu Youwei with suspicion, "Show me first?"

"Secret!" Wu Youwei replied with two words.

Angrily, Zhang Shen stomped his feet: "Our family will beat you!

"You can't beat me!" Wu Youwei said, "I have Wantong!"

"Let's...our family is leaving!" Zhang Shen saw Wantong, and after hearing what Wu Youwei said, he immediately left angrily, and he wanted to go back to the house.

Wu Youwei won this time of bickering!

Wantong watched the childish quarrel between the two, and Zhang Shen wanted to leave, so he stopped him: "Stop making trouble, I have something to tell you two.

In fact, Zhang Shen and Wu Youwei were just playing around, now seeing Wantong's expression, he stopped leaving immediately, turned around and sat back.

Wantong handed him the letter nearby: "Look at it, I finally know why the emperor wanted to restore Daizong's throne.

Zhang Shen's expression was not very good after reading it, and he handed the letter to Wu Youwei.

Wu Youwei took it over and took a look. It was the translated information. It seemed to be the news delivered by Jin Yiwei. Litai

At that time, Emperor Xianzong suppressed him, and then Emperor Xianzong received Mandokule.

Because I don't know what they said, Mandugule was very happy when he left, and Emperor Xianzong was also very satisfied, but because the new year was approaching, Mandugule and the others could not return to the grassland under the heavy snow and howling sky. , I can only wait for the spring of next year, when the wind and snow are not so heavy.

At the same time, because the Ryukyu mission landed in Shanghai County, and it was said that it was thanks to Wantong, it was caught.

Some people attacked and wiped out Wantong, saying that he "used power for personal gain", "connected with foreign countries", etc. Anyway, it was Wantong's fault.

Fortunately, someone in the cabinet spoke for Wantong, and Li Dongyang refuted the censor at the court: "You said Wantong used power for personal gain? Then the spoils from the two tributes every year were also obtained by him using power for personal gain? Is Ryukyu a vassal state of Ming Dynasty? Did Wantong and the others go there on purpose? They were just passing by, wouldn’t they help if they saw it? Are you trying to let Daming’s subordinate countries know that Daming is a cold-blooded suzerain?”

Luo Lun was also present, supporting Li Dongyang and said: "Yes, what is the crime of adultery with a foreign country? Could it be that Wantong wants to rebel? Wan Tong's family is in Beijing! And what Wantong took away was Zhenweiying, which was personally selected by the emperor. , Do you want to say that the Zhenwei camp also rebelled collectively?"

This is even more critical. Emperor Xianzong gave Wantong Zhenwei Camp for six years!

How much do you trust a subject to give him the military power for six years?Don't hear, don't ask, don't tell, anyone who dares to say that Wantong is not good, Emperor Xianzong will suppress it first.

It's just that the censor was right in the court, and he didn't pass the cabinet or enter the supervisor of ceremonies.

He said it so clearly.

Many people feel that this is flooding their heads, right?

Wantong controls the military power of one side, and he has a very good friendship with the border troops stationed in various places. They have all fought together and shared the dirty work together.

Saying that he "conspired against the law" suddenly implicated all the garrisons along the coast, and half of the border guards in Ming Dynasty were implicated.
