Chapter 1052: Daydreaming in the Daytime Is Very Reasonable

The contradiction between the Emperor and the Crown Prince is part of the contradiction between ruler and minister. The Crown Prince and the Emperor are ruler and minister more than father and son.

Especially after the position of Crown Prince is determined, the Crown Prince is the best choice for ministers to compete with the Emperor. This has also been the consistent imperial court rule for thousands of years.

For the Crown Prince, the danger is like a sharp blade hanging over his head, and he cannot relax for a single moment.

Zhu Changzhi was just a thirteen-year-old child. He didn't know how to solve this problem. He was still young and was not a dragon or phoenix among people, or extremely smart, but he had a good mother.

Empress Wang taught Zhu Changzhi a method that was not a method. In summary, let the ministers take the blame.

Wang Yaozhuo had told Zhu Changzhi about the death of Xie Jin. Xie Jin looked like a minister involved in the drama of the struggle for the Crown Prince, but in fact, it was fundamentally Zhu Di's problem. Zhu Di himself was hesitant.

Zhu Gaoxu made great military achievements in the Jingnan Campaign. In terms of martial arts, Zhu Gaoxu was more like Zhu Di. Zhu Di said that sentence: "The heir is often ill, you should encourage him." It was probably sincere.

Besides this sentence, when Zhu Gaoxu was enfeoffed as the Prince of Han and stayed in Nanjing, Zhu Di also said to Zhu Gaoxu: "I hope you will bear the responsibility in the court."

Zhu Di's hesitation in the choice of the Crown Prince made Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi have to increase his chips in order to win the struggle for the Crown Prince, and Xie Jin became the key figure. Xie Jin's sentence "a good holy grandson" made Zhu Di make up his mind.

But Xie Jin privately visited the Crown Prince, which finally touched the most sensitive and fragile nerve of the Emperor. The Crown Prince was virtuous and corporal and well-known. What did he want to do?

The method Wang Yaozhuo taught Zhu Changzhi was to let the ministers take the blame.

Regarding this question of whether to report or not, letting the ministers say it was better than letting Zhu Changzhi say it himself. This way, there was a buffer and redundancy, and the contradiction between the Emperor and the Crown Prince would not be excessively intensified.

"Master Gao, what do you think? Should we pursue the arrears, or report the disaster for exemption?" Zhu Changzhi looked at Gao Qiyu and asked for his specific opinion.

Gao Qiyu's face remained calm, but his heart tightened. Zhu Changzhi's persistence meant that the meaning was very clear. Today, the Crown Prince called them here, and they must have someone come out to express their position, and a very clear position at that.

In a flash, Gao Qiyu understood that the Crown Prince was looking for a minister to be the villain.

And he was the most suitable candidate among all the civil and military officials in the imperial court. If the Crown Prince went to find Li Rusong, that would be a huge danger. On the contrary, Gao Qiyu, who did not avoid suspicion at the beginning, was very suitable to be that scapegoat, easing the contradiction between the Emperor and the Crown Prince.

It was just that this scapegoat was extremely dangerous.

Gao Qiyu took a deep breath and bowed, saying: "Your Highness, I am the Minister of Rites. The affairs of the Ministry of Revenue should be asked of the Ministry of Revenue. The Minister and Vice Minister of Revenue have both followed the southern tour to Songjiang Prefecture to promote the implementation of the Single Whip Law in the six prefectures. For me to talk about the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue is to overstep my authority."

"Your Highness, in the imperial court, overstepping boundaries is a very taboo thing. I cannot do it."

Gao Qiyu refused to be this scapegoat. Walking on a single-plank bridge over a bottomless abyss was one thing, but being a scapegoat for the Crown Prince if one was not careful was another. Besides, the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne was something that didn't know how many years away. He, Gao Qiyu, would have long since turned to dust.

Empress Wang's method was very good. The only problem was that the ministers in the court were all as smart as ghosts. Trying to find a scapegoat like Xie Jin was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Xie Jin presided over the compilation of the *Yongle Encyclopedia* and felt that he was deeply trusted by Zhu Di. He only tested one step further, and he died a death that couldn't be deader.

Gao Qiyu's reason was very appropriate. This matter was not within his jurisdiction. If he talked nonsense, the Emperor wouldn't be angry, but the ministers would be angry.

"That's not right. Before Father Emperor left, he said that Master Shen and Master Gao could both be relied upon, and told me to ask the two Masters more if I had anything. Master Gao is shirking like this at this time. Is it that Father Emperor was wrong? Or is it that Master Gao cannot be relied upon?" At this time, Zhu Changzhi's tone was already a bit severe.

"I am terrified. I am shallow in talent and shallow in virtue, and I am not up to the task. I have disappointed His Majesty." Gao Qiyu's answer was very decisive.

Zhu Changzhi immediately realized that Gao Qiyu in front of him was not afraid of him at all, and he was a bit anxious. His words were a bit too urgent and too full, which instead set himself up.

Gao Qiyu only needed to write a memorial for retirement, with gentle wording, and take all the blame on himself. Once the Emperor saw that the Minister of Rites wanted to retire, he would naturally issue a decree to inquire carefully.

In the end, the one who would be taught a lesson might not be Gao Qiyu, but he, Zhu Changzhi.

Zhu Changzhi's work was a bit too rough and he fell into a passive position. This could not be blamed on him. He was only thirteen years old. This was his first contact with the game between ruler and minister. He had no experience, which was a matter of course.

"I am young and immature, and I don't know much about the rules of the officialdom. Thinking about it carefully, Master Gao's words make sense. Then, regarding this matter, I will report it to Father Emperor to decide whether to pursue the arrears." Zhu Changzhi was very straightforward, admitting that he was wrong because he was young and his virtue was not cultivated enough.

He was the Crown Prince. Except when facing his Father Emperor, his tolerance for error was infinitely large. If he didn't do well this time, he would do it again next time. In this world, the only person who could do anything to him was his Father Emperor.

When he was very, very young, Zhu Changzhi knew that he was a naturally noble person. Those little eunuchs and palace maids who served him didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of him, being timid and cautious.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Gao Qiyu stood up straight. He had crawled for half his life, went to the West, served as an envoy to Japan, and went through life and death. He had made contributions to Great Ming, and the Crown Prince couldn't make things difficult for him, nor could he force him to do things he didn't want to do.

Shen Shixing looked at Gao Qiyu, and then the two bowed and withdrew.

After leaving the Imperial Study of Tonghe Palace, Shen Shixing pulled Gao Qiyu and looked left and right before whispering: "Let's not go around in circles when we talk. The Crown Prince's meaning might be His Majesty's meaning."

Gao Qiyu shook his head and said: "If it were His Majesty's meaning, then His Majesty would say it himself, rather than the Crown Prince saying it. Since it is the Crown Prince who said it, I will take it as the Crown Prince's own meaning."

"Aren't you being muddled?" Shen Shixing spread his hands and said: "Even if it is the Crown Prince's own meaning, if His Majesty knows, he will definitely not blame the Crown Prince. Then the Crown Prince's meaning is His Majesty's meaning."

"I am His Majesty's minister, not the Crown Prince's minister." Gao Qiyu waved his hand again and said: "Unless it is what His Majesty said, otherwise I will not agree."

"Look at you, how can His Majesty speak? You let His Majesty say it himself. Isn't this trapping His Majesty in injustice?" Shen Shixing's face changed, and he whispered again.

Gao Qiyu thought for a while and shook his head, saying: "I am the Minister of Rites appointed by His Majesty, and I am a minister."

Gao Qiyu was the Emperor's minister and also Great Ming's minister. He served the Emperor with loyalty and also exhausted his efforts for Great Ming. If the Emperor really wanted him to be that scapegoat, it shouldn't be letting the Crown Prince pass the message.

"The ruler employs his ministers according to ritual; the ministers serve the ruler with loyalty." This sentence was simple and easy to understand, clear and distinct.

"Hey, forget it, forget it." Shen Shixing flicked his sleeves and stopped talking about it.

Gao Qiyu did not rely on flattering his superiors to reach the position of Minister of Rites. He walked step by step, down-to-earth, and even stepped on Shen Shixing twice.

Shen Shixing and Gao Qiyu left the Imperial Study of Tonghe Palace. Shen Shixing thought about it and finally wrote a memorial. The content of this memorial suggested that Crown Prince Zhu Changzhi report to His Majesty for disposal.

Gao Qiyu refused to take this responsibility actively, so only Shen Shixing, the Senior Grand Secretary, went to do it. He had a personality that took care of everything, but others were taken care of, and he himself could not be taken care of.

Shen Shixing looked at the written memorial, sighed in the end, stamped his seal, sealed it, and sent it to the Southern Yamen.

Zhu Yijun received three memorials. The first was the memorial transferred by the Crown Prince from the Viceroy of the Granary.

Zhu Changzhi gave his own opinion. He felt that without rules, there would be no square. The arrears should be transported to the capital according to the year. If they were not sent, such arrears would become more and more in the future, eventually leading to the corruption of the imperial court's finances. But considering the changes in heaven, the arrears of the various places were all land taxes, which should be reduced according to the system to show His Majesty's love for the people.

Shen Shixing wrote a strange memorial, saying a lot, meaning that because this memorial was not within the scope of the Crown Prince's supervision of the country, and the Minister of Revenue was in Songjiang Prefecture, he told the Crown Prince to report it to the Emperor.

The third memorial was written by Gao Qiyu.

Gao Qiyu told the Emperor everything that happened in the Imperial Study of Tonghe Palace in detail, and expressed his attitude: whether it was the Crown Prince's meaning or the Emperor's meaning, he, Gao Qiyu, could not do it. He could not bear this responsibility.

The contradiction between the Emperor and the Crown Prince, he, a Minister of Rites who had not entered the cabinet, was not even qualified to be a scapegoat.

"Tsk tsk, I understand." Zhu Yijun carefully examined the three memorials and determined one thing: Wang Yaozhuo taught Zhu Changzhi a method, but Zhu Changzhi didn't use it well. But unintentionally, Gao Qiyu refused, and Shen Shixing took the initiative to do it.

Shen Shixing could at least hold on for more than ten years. With Shen Shixing, this good old man, balancing the water in the middle, it could basically guarantee that the Crown Prince would grow up smoothly, and father and son would not suspect each other.

Zhu Yijun pondered for a while and gave replies one by one.

Regarding the matter asked by the Crown Prince, Zhu Yijun told the Crown Prince that pursuing arrears was necessary, and it could not be reduced, because this was already the tax owed after the reduction due to changes in heaven.

And he told the Crown Prince that if he encountered something difficult to handle or didn't know how to handle, he should transfer it to him, the Emperor. Don't let his imagination run wild. Wan Shi should be based on the people as the foundation of the country and the country as the priority.

This matter, the Crown Prince couldn't handle it. Only the Emperor could handle it, because the tax arrears involved the struggle for financial power between the imperial court and the locality, which was an extremely important part of the complex contradiction between the central and local governments. The Crown Prince, let alone thirteen years old, even if he were thirty-three years old, would be troublesome to handle.

It was also very tricky for Zhu Yijun to handle. If he pressed too hard, it might cause trouble.

He wrote a reply to Shen Shixing, clearly telling Shen Shixing that his loyalty was already fully known to the Emperor, but the Crown Prince was the foundation of the country. If the Crown Prince made a mistake, he must not cover it up for him in order to seek perfection. Some things could be perfect, but some things could not. The country was the priority. If he was not successful, he must not mislead the country.

This reply had affirmation, as well as some admonition and criticism.

Zhu Yijun looked at Gao Qiyu's memorial, hesitated for a while, and also gave a reply.

He solemnly informed Gao Qiyu: Ministers were the vital energy of the country, and vital energy was the foundation. Using the life and honor of ministers as the price to exchange for a moment of peace between father and son was not what a ruler should do. Whether father and son were at peace depended on the inside, not the outside.

Zhu Yijun also gave an example: the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

What Li Shimin had to deal with was always Li Yuan. Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were just incidental.

And the reason that Ma Deli Shimin make up his mind to launch a mutiny was that Li Yuan unjustly killed Liu Wenjing to balance the power between the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qin.

Liu Wenjing was a meritorious minister who followed the dragon, a loyal and important minister who did not discount when the army was raised in Taiyuan. Just because Liu Wenjing was closer to Li Shimin, Li Yuan did not add titles to Liu Wenjing and treated him differently.

The power between the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qin was unbalanced. The Prince of Qin was powerful, so Li Yuan unjustly killed Liu Wenjing on the charge of rebellion, just to balance the power of the two factions. It would be strange if Li Shimin didn't rebel.

Using the life and honor of vital ministers as the price could only exchange for a moment of peace and could never last long. Therefore, Gao Qiyu's refusal was correct.

At the same time, Zhu Yijun also urged Gao Qiyu not to be overly concerned about gains and losses, thinking that this memorial of speaking the truth would anger him, the Emperor. He had no intention of being angry at all, and also asked Gao Qiyu to watch the Crown Prince carefully and not let the Crown Prince do stupid things or silly things.

After writing the long reply, Zhu Yijun put down the vermilion brush in his hand and blew the ink dry.

"Shen Ge Lao participated in the Crown Prince's affairs, which is probably unfavorable to him." Li Yougong said a fair word for Shen Shixing. Since ancient times, ministers who got involved in such things had no good end, without exception.

"Do you think he doesn't know? Of course he knows. Doing this is thankless." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "This matter depends on the inside, not the outside. If father and son are at odds, no matter how much he does, it's useless. If father and son are at peace, even if he doesn't do these things, there won't be any trouble. So it's thankless."

"But his personality is that he wants everything to be perfect."

Shen Shixing was not stupid. He could naturally figure out the way inside, but being perfect in everything was his way. People lived a lifetime, all practicing their own way.

"I understand, Your Majesty. Knowing it cannot be done and doing it, even if there are thousands of people, I will go." Li Yougong suddenly understood the truth he didn't understand when he was studying before. At that time, in order to pass, he desperately memorized, but now he completely understood it.

This was a kind of moral courage and responsibility, a persistence in justice, and a persistence in one's own way, which was the noble spirit that scholars should cultivate.

"If every scholar had a noble spirit in his heart, the world would have been peaceful long ago." Li Yougong said sincerely.

Zhu Yijun laughed, looked at Li Yougong and said: "What are you thinking? Being able to have a few usable people is already God's favor. You still expect all the scholars in the world to have a noble spirit in their hearts? That's right, it's daytime, daydreaming is very reasonable."

"Your Majesty's lesson is right." Li Yougong was stunned, then shook his head and smiled: "I was indeed wishful thinking."

Scholars in the world were like crucian carp crossing the river. Scholars who could cultivate a noble spirit were really very, very few. For example, the Anti-Corruption Division where Xu Chengchu and Fan Yuanshan were, had a total of fourteen plain-clothed censors.

Just these fourteen people could make the corrupt officials in the world tremble with fear and not dare to act rashly.

"Sharpen the blade!" Zhu Yijun picked up other memorials. He opened the memorials of Zhang Xueyan and Hou Yuzhao, looked at them for a while, sighed and said: "The Single Whip Law in Yangzhou Prefecture has gone wrong. Ask Hou Yuzhao if he needs my help."

"I obey the decree." Li Yougong bowed his head to receive the decree, personally went to the Ministry of Revenue yamen, found Hou Yuzhao, and inquired about the Yangzhou Prefecture matter.

Hou Yuzhao felt a bit surprised by Li Yougong's arrival. He had been back in the court for only a year, and his understanding of the Emperor's style of doing things was not deep enough.

"Just a small problem." Hou Yuzhao really didn't think it was a big deal. The land return in Zhejiang had a much bigger movement, was much more troublesome, and much trickier than this.

"The Magistrate of Xinghua County, Guan Zhiping, preached the government decree and gave an official eight-legged essay. The people couldn't understand it, and it spread by word of mouth, eventually leading to a petition by the people. The matter has almost been resolved clearly."

Xinghua County in Yangzhou Prefecture had a petition by the people. The Magistrate of Xinghua County, Guan Zhiping, was indifferent to the people, their livelihood, and settling subordinates. On weekdays, he mainly relied on flattering his superiors. After being an official for a long time, he became arrogant and wrote an official eight-legged essay to preach the government decree, which was vague and unclear.

When the people saw it, they thought the imperial court wanted to increase taxes and immediately became unhappy.

Last year's autumn flood caused a reduction in grain production. This year, they finally caught their breath. If the imperial court increased taxes again, the sky would collapse. It spread from ten to ten, and hundreds of people ran to the Xinghua County yamen to kowtow.

As a result, this Guan Zhiping thought it was a civil riot similar to the Tian Bing Rebellion in Ruijin and was so scared that he ran out of Xinghua County overnight.

It was the local worthies and gentry who came forward, translated the eight-legged essay into colloquial language, and told the people that the labor service was determined by the population in the 9th year of Wanli and incorporated into the land, and all tax law items were clear and explicit, persuading these people to go back.

Hou Yuzhao explained: "Those three families of worthies and gentry in Xinghua County were so scared, fearing that Yangzhou Prefecture would think that it was they who incited the people to attack the county yamen, so they went to Yangzhou Prefecture overnight to tell the Prefect of Yangzhou the details, fearing that there was some misunderstanding in the middle, and that their Xinghua County would follow in the footsteps of Rongcheng County in Baoding."

Afraid that His Majesty would misunderstand.

Rongcheng County was too far from Xinghua County, so the news spread and was seriously distorted, saying that the Capital Garrison bombarded the city for three days, and even the city walls were blown away, before the elite soldiers entered the city to riot, blood flowed like a river, and heads rolled.

The rumors were too outrageous, so these worthies and gentry were scared, and they were willing to take the initiative to explain the policy to calm the people's worries.

"Please ask the Great Eunuch to report to His Majesty. It is one thing to have a knife and not use it, but it is another thing not to have a knife to use. What the Minister of Revenue said about success upon arrival is exactly this." Hou Yuzhao talked about his own views in front of Li Yougong.

Was it difficult to return land in Zhejiang, or was it difficult to implement the Single Whip Law in the six prefectures? For Hou Yuzhao, returning land in Zhejiang was much more difficult.

Because for those eight years, he didn't have His Majesty's Capital Garrison by his side to support him at any time. Implementing the Single Whip Law in the six prefectures was really very smooth.

Li Yougong listened to the details not in the memorial, then frowned and asked: "This Guan Zhiping, is he a bit too incompetent? When something happened, he just knew how to run away after making a mess? Like Yao Guangqi, just meet the people and explain it clearly, wouldn't that be fine?"

"Director Yao, with that scar on his face, the people are not afraid of him, and he is not afraid of the people." Hou Yuzhao had very rich local governance experience. Guan Zhiping, this kind of wine bag and rice sack, was not incompetent, but afraid of the people.

Officials afraid of the common people? As far as Hou Yuzhao saw, some were afraid, some were not.

Was Hence Hai Rui afraid of the people? Hence Hai Rui was not afraid, but Guan Zhiping and his ilk were very afraid. If the anger burned, they could really hang him, Guan Zhiping, in the county yamen.

Yao Guangqi was not afraid. For the sake of the people's kelp, he dared to risk his life. The people of Mizhou, Shandong, could remember his goodness for several generations. Yao Guangqi was also a great meritorious scholar of Shanghai County.

Hou Yuzhao pondered for a while and said: "Great Eunuch, has His Majesty always done things like this? When the ministers have some trouble, His Majesty is willing to cover for them."

"Some things, if they come too easily, people don't know how to cherish them."

Li Yougong said with a full face of smiles: "That's not the case. His Majesty's holy favor is only given to those who are loyal to the ruler and patriotic. The Junior Minister of Revenue was often mentioned by His Majesty as early as the 2nd year of Wanli. At that time, what His Majesty said most was that Hou Yuzhao was actually willing to go to Liaodong to reclaim wasteland and farm, which was incredible."

"The Junior Minister of Revenue is the only second-rank official in the court who knows how to farm."

"Ah? So that's how it is." Hou Yuzhao realized that the holy favor that His Majesty was willing to cover for was not for no reason.

He shook his head and said: "The main official who reclaims wasteland, if he doesn't know how to farm, how can he reclaim wasteland? I also learned it after arriving in Liaodong. At that time, Zhou Liangyin was demoted to Daning Guard, and I learned it with him."

Before Hou Yuzhao reclaimed wasteland, he didn't know how to farm either. He learned it bit by bit with Zhou Liangyin according to His Majesty's *Agricultural Book*.

To this day, so many things have happened in Shanxi, but Zhou Liangyin, as the former Governor of Shanxi, was able to eliminate redundant officials and clerks in Shanxi, promote new policies, and now serves as a Vice Minister in the court, which is not for no reason.

Zhou Liangyin himself was born as a cheap scholar. Labor changed his cognition, but Zhou Liangyin was a minority among the minority. There were really not many who could suddenly wake up.

"It's fine as long as the matter is resolved. I'll go back to the palace to report." Li Yougong bowed and left the Ministry of Revenue yamen attached to the Huangpu River Palace.

"Send off the Great Eunuch." Hou Yuzhao walked forward a few steps, sent him to the door, and continued to be busy.

Li Yougong returned to the palace and looked at the direction of the Ministry of Revenue yamen. This Hou Yuzhao was really different from other ministers.

Li Yougong was a newly promoted ancestor in the palace, but whenever he appeared in front of people, the ministers in the court would try every means to send him silver, hoping that Li Yougong could say a few good words in front of the Holy One.

But Hou Yuzhao didn't have this concept at all.

"Your Majesty, the Junior Minister of Revenue is a capable minister of the country. The Xinghua County matter has been resolved clearly." Li Yougong told His Majesty Hou Yuzhao's words exactly, and also told about Hou Yuzhao not offering bribes.

"It's rare to hear praise for civil officials from the Great Eunuch!" Zhu Yijun said in surprise: "He doesn't give you silver, you speak well of him. Others give you silver, you speak ill of them every day?"

Li Yougong said very affirmatively: "If they give silver, I can't speak well of them. I am His Majesty's house slave. I can only take His Majesty's silver and do things for His Majesty."

Li Yougong was Feng Bao's man. In those years, Li Yougong was picked out by Feng Bao from the family under the corridor and sent to His Majesty's side to accompany him in training. This was the grace of a rebirth parent.

From childhood to adulthood, Feng Bao taught Li Yougong that eunuchs were also ministers, but different from the outer court. Eunuchs only talked about one word: loyalty. Don't talk about anything else. If you take people's silver, your hands will be short; if you eat people's food, your mouth will be short. If you take silver from outside the palace, you are a dog slave.

A dog slave only had one end: being scalded.

Feng Bao explained very clearly at the beginning: the power of eunuchs is only a part of imperial power, not the power of eunuchs themselves.

But Li Yougong was not Feng Bao's man, because Li Yougong had been active as one of the three ancestors in the palace since His Majesty gradually took charge of the government in the 5th year of Wanli. He was His Majesty's man from beginning to end.

"Li Yashi is crazy." Zhu Yijun looked at a memorial in front of him.

Li Yashi wrote a memorial in the Songjiang Town Fusi. He wanted to return to the West, not to Spain, but to Falanxi, to inherit what Maria had not finished, and bring the light back to the West.

Since the confirmation of Maria's death, Li Yashi had been wrong. He fell into serious self-doubt. In the end, he decided to return to the West as a fanatic of the Great Brightness Sect, go to Falanxi, and use thunder to crush all darkness.

Li Yashi had no worries about food and clothing in Great Ming, and Great Ming had already cultivated enough Latin interpreters. In fact, they didn't need him anymore. His work was very easy, but the matter of him returning to the West itself required him to bet his life. Going to sea itself was very hard and dangerous.

Returning to the West to spread the light was also very dangerous. Li Yashi knew the situation in the West better than the people of Great Ming.

"A brave man." Li Yougong affirmed his behavior. People live a lifetime, if they don't practice their own justice, they are torturing themselves. Knowing that they must do it but not doing it is not being loyal to their own hearts.

The Minister of Rites of Great Ming, Yang Bo, was ominous in his later years because he was not loyal to himself. He was scolded by a ten-year-old child until he was bruised and swollen, and he was tortured by this pain until he died.

"Then approve it." Zhu Yijun finally approved this memorial. Wan Shi Li Yashi remembered in his brain could be taken away. What he didn't remember, Great Ming would not allow him to take away.

In the memorial, Li Yashi had an uninvited request. He hoped that after his death, his soul could return to the light.

If his bones couldn't return to Great Ming, he asked His Majesty to look at the fact that he had served for many years and set up a cenotaph for him next to the grave of that fanatic, Rui De, so that he could also find the other shore of light in the sea of non-believers.

"Give him the title of Great Brightness Envoy and let him return to the West. Living like this is too tiring." Zhu Yijun pondered for a while and gave Li Yashi a title, so that he wouldn't have a hard time when he returned to the West. He returned to the West as a symbol of wisdom and a prophet's blessing, which would make it easier for him to do things.

Li Yashi going to Falanxi, he was a foreigner, should be able to play an important role.

"Your Majesty, he is gone, who will be responsible for the astonishment of the friendly nations?" Li Yougong wanted to supplement the error correction mechanism. The astonishment of friendly nations was also a way of error correction. For example, the high moral disadvantage and low moral advantage of pioneering proposed by Li Yashi provided Great Ming with great help.

Great Ming needed a perspective of friendly nation astonishment to correct the direction of various policies and ensure the smooth advancement of the Wanli Reform. ===== CHAPTER 1053 =====
