175 And he didn't keep his mouth shut
"You're going to build seagoing ships...... Is it also a dream? "It may be that the level of storytelling is a bit high, and there is a strong sense of picture in the words, and Emperor Shenzong is also a little unbearable, and whoever doesn't yearn for the great rivers and mountains is not a good emperor.
"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers will build a huge ship of ten thousand stones, and they will also be able to come and go freely on the sea. If you choose a good day and an auspicious day to start from Hangzhou, you can arrive in Africa in more than a month, where the local Kunlun slaves are all dark skin. Bypassing Africa in a little more than a month is the Western Qin Empire, where the people are blonde and blue-eyed and have a strange language. In them, the emperor is not the biggest, but the pope, just like the presiding officer of the Dabaoguo Temple has more power than His Majesty...... "As long as you are willing to listen, Hong Tao can speak for several days without repeating the same, even if the emperor on the other side can't stop his broken mouth."
"Bold fanatics, how dare you speak wildly!" As soon as he said that the pope had more power than the emperor, Pei Ying interrupted with a roar.
"It's okay, it's okay! Go and bring a bowl of ice water to the horse......" Emperor Shenzong also startled the old eunuch, but he seemed to have a high tolerance for Pei Ying, and he didn't mean to get angry at all, just waved his hand.
"Sit down and tell me more about your dreams...... Don't worry about your stomach, I know that you eat three meals a day in your house, and you have your own refreshments at noon. After I finish speaking, I will go to see the second sister, she misses you every day. You've seen it before, but the Western Qin Empire is only a rumor, if it really exists, why don't you see them coming to our court? ”
Although Emperor Shenzong has been on the throne for more than ten years and is very sophisticated in speech and demeanor, he is only in his early thirties after all, which is the age of full energy and curiosity. There is such a strange story, even if it is obtained in a dream, it is quite interesting to listen to it.
Besides, he'd seen the pony turn his dreams into reality, so he should have listened to them. What the world is like, it is estimated that no one knows very well, and no one can give him an accurate answer.
This lecture was another day, in the middle of which Hong Tao also played badminton with his eldest brother, and then returned to the Chongzheng Hall to be written by two court painters, and the horse was dictated and guided, and began to sketch the world map.
This is also a fault caused by bragging, Hong Tao is about to tell the whole world, the emperor naturally thinks that looking at the picture is more intuitive, and it is impossible to refuse.
However, Hong Tao still kept a hand, he didn't say that the earth was round, for fear that his uncle would ask endless questions, and then let himself verify it for him, and he would probably not be able to leave the capital until he died.
For the time being, let's just think that the earth is flaked, and as for where it is beyond the edge, it is very easy to do, and all three words will be explained: I don't know!
It has been more than a year since he traveled to the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was the first time that Hong Tao had long-term and close contact with the emperor. Through a whole day of telling, answering, talking, and listening, the image of the young emperor changed again.
He is a qualified politician who has no doubts, is very dedicated and proud of it, and everything that may affect his rule will be ruthlessly eradicated.
But he also has seven emotions and six desires, for example, when he heard how tall and graceful the women of the Western Qin Empire were, he smiled so evilly; When I learned that the European emperors needed to be crowned by the pope when they ascended the throne, I also hated the root of my teeth.
Then he talked about the theory of imperial power, and gave moral support to his colleagues in Europe, hoping that they would one day overthrow the Church that had been pressed on their heads and take back imperial power.
The two of you talked very harmoniously, and then Hong Tao was cheap again, he actually persuaded the emperor not to be too obsessed with monopolizing power, and said that power is a tiger, no one can completely control it, even if it is temporarily controllable, when you are old, you will still abuse it because of selfishness, and the final result is to harm yourself, your family, the country, and the people.
If we want to avoid this national tragedy, we must put rights in a cage. The current system of government, while having all sorts of flaws, is in a good direction.
When one person cannot be killed casually because of another person's likes and dislikes, that other person is also relatively safe. What needs to be done is not how to destroy the system, but to constantly improve it in order to achieve relative balance.
"Pei Ying, if the horse says one more word, he will be arrested and put in prison, and after the eldest princess gives birth, he will be sent to Yazhou ......"
Before Hong Tao could give an example, he once again understood how annoying it was to have a lot of mouths. The emperor turned his face faster than he turned a book, and a few minutes ago, he was a relative who had nothing to talk about, but now he has returned to being a monarch and a minister, and he is still a monarch and minister who can't talk much.
"If I talk to you more than half a word in the future, I will have your surname!" Pei Ying's movements were fast, and he grabbed the colt viciously and carried it out like a chicken.
I didn't expect this old eunuch to have so much strength, he wouldn't be the master of the Wasp! Even so, Hong Tao still didn't stop talking, too stimulated, too sad, kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, don't you understand what it means to be loyal to the ear?
"The surname is only given to the Tibetan people, and the horses have no such honor." The old lady listened to the horse's complaints clearly, and also made an evaluation.
"When you're dragged out and your head is cut off casually, you'll know if I'm right!"
There is really nothing to talk about with this old eunuch Hong Tao, even if he can understand. As for whether he will go to tell the emperor, this thing still needs to be sought, the emperor who should say it has heard it, and if he wants to cut himself, he doesn't have to wait for Pei Ying to tell him.
Before he walked out of the palace gate, Hong Tao calmed down, and it didn't seem to be all to blame for the eldest brother. As the saying goes, the butt decides the head, he sits in that position, of course, he has to think about how to sit firmly every minute, this is called his own work, called dedication.
Almost every change of dynasty in Chinese history is bloody, which also makes him have to be on guard at any time. Who wants their whole family to be cut down and not even be able to keep their ancestral graves? This is also a historical limitation, and it is not impossible to get him to change his mind, but it will take a long time and enough convincing.
And this matter doesn't count if Emperor Guang says it alone, he really can't be too soft. Balance, whether two-sided or tripartite or multi-sided, requires each side to have sufficient strength to resist stretching from the other parties. If the emperor is too soft, then the ministers, relatives, eunuchs, and generals will become bigger, which is not a good thing.
There are also many powerful ministers who usurped the throne in history, and their old Zhao family didn't come up like this. It is really inappropriate to talk about decentralization with the descendants of the old Zhao family, and to paraphrase the emperor's words, his heart can be punished.
Because he was blasted out by the emperor, don't worry about going to the harem to visit the princess. In fact, even if the emperor doesn't bang Hongtao, he can't enter the harem, the sky is dark at this time, and no matter how extrajudicial he is, it is impossible for a normal man to wander into the harem in the middle of the night.
"No wonder you dare to let me take the post, it's worth deducting my daughter-in-law and children as protons, no Nima is a good thing!"
When I thought of my pregnant wife Hong Tao, I was even more annoyed, and then I figured out one more thing. I am afraid that I also have the credit of my wife, or the credit of the child in her womb.
But Hong Tao has nothing to do about this matter, the emperor brought out his mother, it was the old lady who said that her daughter should be born in the palace, and she as a son-in-law can still say that she disagrees? I can't accuse my eldest brother of taking my nephew or niece as a hostage, in case my brother-in-law makes any changes.
Now it's useless to think about this, I haven't figured out where Huangzhou is, and I don't know anything about the local situation, so I don't want to blindly mix the emperor's plans for the future, so I should quickly think about how to go to Huangzhou and how to carry out work when I get to Huangzhou.
Don't look at what he said to the emperor so firmly, in fact, Hong Tao doesn't have any accurate score in his heart. Managing the people on one side and preparing for war and famine is no easier than building the Jinhe Empire from scratch.
At the beginning, the Tan family regarded themselves as one of them and gave them unlimited trust. But will the people, officials, forbidden army, and box army in Huangzhou trust themselves so unconditionally? Apparently impossible. Therefore, the Jinhe Empire's set of management methods cannot be copied, and it has to be thought of otherwise.
