What does Peng Shi mean?

Is it explaining a fact or reminding Yue Zheng to go back and take what to focus on the report?

These two are civil officials, one is the top scholar and the other is Tanhua. It can be said that they represent the younger generation of Confucian officials of the Ming Dynasty. They are wealth or ambition, or does Confucianism also recognize the merits of expanding territory? Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Confucian officials have been trying to find ways to limit the power of military generals.

Of course, what the Confucian ministers restricted was not only power, but also the Ming Dynasty went to war against the outside world.

Peng Shi did not explain. If he asked, he had already thought of a way to answer, which was: "Since you are going back to report, you naturally have to mention all the contents so that the court can be prepared."

"Then it's like this for the time being, Lao Lan. I urge Liu Mingxuan to see if there is any steel coming out. Needless to say, that port is our property."

"Xiaobai, don't worry, you don't have to explain this matter, and I won't take my brother's life seriously."

Bai Minghe smiled and didn't answer.

"Xiaobai, go see that king. I'll talk to them about something here." Lan Hai obviously had something to say to Yue Zheng. Bai Minghe didn't need to care about the details. He had already worried enough.

When you leave the garden, you will naturally have a formal place to see the king of Portugal. There is a special reception room in this manor. Of course, according to the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, what this reception room lacks is not gorgeous decoration, but a kind of demeanor. A kind of demeanor of the upper country of the Celestial Kingdom, but this is not their territory, so you can only barely use it. Only some decorations of the Ming Dynasty were added.

The Portuguese king was also brought there by the court attendants.

At this time, Oliviare, Angela was meeting with three Spanish dukes. Spain came here with pure good intentions, and the white-name crane also flattened the other person's port, not only did not mean to declare war. It was not even mentioned in a single sentence. Of course, there was a reason why this was not unified with Spain at the moment, just a small viscount occupied a port.

It is not a wise choice to make things difficult for an insignificant viscount and an empire.

Anqia remembered this love for a large amount of gifts and some food supplies given by the Spanish nobles before leaving Gibraltar. Therefore, the reception was also the highest. The chefs of the Ming Dynasty prepared dinner.

The white-known crane was waiting at the door of the reception room, waiting for the arrival of Alfonso V.

This is the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. You must wait at the door to welcome guests. Angela can give the Portuguese king a warning, but she doesn't need to do this anymore. According to the Ming Dynasty, one is naturally a sing of red face and the other is a sing of white face.

Alfonso V stopped about five meters away from the White-King Crane and gave a slight tribute to support her chest. The White-King Crane used the Ming Dynasty's bowing ceremony. To be precise, this was the bowing ceremony for the Han people, and there were also ethnic minorities in the Ming Dynasty who had their etiquette.

Alfonso V and Bai Minghe both had serious expressions. In their identity, what they wanted to talk about would not be a trivial matter, and this meeting was of great significance. Otherwise, Alfonso V's kneeling would lose its meaning, both for Portugal and for the Ming Dynasty.

"Please!" Bai Minghe made a gesture of invitation.

Although the etiquette between the East and the West is different, Alfonso V can see the respect of this young man from the East.

Both of them brought only one entourage. Bai Minghe was an official from the Ministry of Rites, and was not proficient. But he could be considered Portuguese. Alfonso V only brought a guard knight. He signaled the knight to stand aside and said to Phil: "Hissar Duke, are you proficient in Greek and Eastern languages? And you are deeply trusted by Your Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty the King!" Philyili replied.

In front of the title, European aristocrats do not look at age or personality, but only look at the title of title, the kingdom that grants this title, and the influence of this title.

Obviously, Phil is a first-class duke.

Following the Empress of the Byzantine Empire through many difficulties and never leaving her, such a loyal person once again returned with the Empress of Byzantine, and she returned strongly. The power she possessed was beyond imagination, and even played a vital position in the exchanges with the Eastern Empire.

There were only three people who finally entered the living room, Bai Minghe, Alfonso V, and Phil.

As soon as they entered the house, all three of them were stunned. There was actually someone inside.

It was not an enemy, nor an assassin, but a maid, but a girl wearing a convent child's uniform. She was only six years old. When the three of them entered the house, she was trying hard to touch a square scarf on the table.

It was just to cover the square scarf on the table, a very ordinary, mixed embroidery piece.

"Your Majesty, this is the daughter of Sophia, Sophia Pariologus. His Majesty's uncle, but His Highness betrayed Byzantium, surrendered to the Pope and gave up his faith."

"The child is not guilty." Bai Minghe said to Phil, and then said: "In order to protect his children, he may not be a qualified prince, but may not be a qualified father. If he is to be convicted, I ask him to be fair enough!"

"Yes!" Phil replied softly, and then told Afangsuo the words of Bai Minghe.

In this case, any whisper is not an impolite act.

The white-known crane came to Sophia and held the square scarf used to cover the tea set in his hand: "Do you like it?"

The girl grabbed the square scarf and hugged it tightly in her arms. When she was in the Byzantine Palace, she was too young and didn't remember what was there? But when she was in the Pope's church school, she knew what gorgeousness was. She had seen the archbishop's clothes that were topped with an annual income of one hundred ordinary poor people.

"Sorry, I think it may take a while to delay!" Bai Minghe apologized to Alfonso V.

Alfonso V made a casual gesture, and this time would not affect anything.

Bai Minghe asked Phil to call his guard over, and after a few whispers, the guard turned around and went out. Sophia just looked at Bai Minghe timidly, holding the scarf in both hands and hiding in the corner of the chair. Bai Minghe looked at him with a smile, and Alfonso V also stood aside, quietly staring at Bai Minghe's every move.

Soon, the guards came back, and there were two people carrying a vine box.

The white crane signaled the guard to go out, squatted in front of the box, squeezed a face at Sophia, and then took out a piece of high-quality purple silk from the box. Purple used a raw material called Purple Pill Grass in the Ming Dynasty. This grass was only available in the Ming Dynasty, Japan, and Goryeo. In Europe, purple was extracted from shells and extremely precious.

A pure purple silk, five times the price of gold is obvious, and it is limited to royal family use.

This is also the reason why Angela is called the nobleman under the purple curtain.

A piece of silk, the top lake silk, almost blinded the little girl's eyes. She stretched out her hand, touched it for a while, and quickly hugged the silk in her arms.

"There are surprises!" The white-famous crane was like a magic trick. A string of pearl necklaces that were not big, but were golden.

The little girl almost fainted in shock. Who has ever seen a golden pearl necklace in Europe?

Alfonso V said to Phil at this time: "This necklace should be worn on you, Duke. Things that are too precious are not suitable for children. After all, she is still young, and this nobleman of the Eastern Empire seems to like children very much!"

"No, such pearls are just used to coax children in the eyes of Lord Bai. In the Ming Empire, the top pearls are one finger in diameter." Phil said. It is the length of the first joint of the man's index finger, and the wrist is one foot upward. This is an ancient Greek unit. "And according to color, it is divided into purple-black, purple-red, bright gold, dark gold, and this string of gold-gold, so by color, size, and luster, the Ming people divided into nine levels and seventy-two levels."

It turns out that this is very ordinary, just something to coax children.

The Eastern Empire is really rich.

Alfonso V thought of Marc Polo's travels. The east was full of gold and the door curtains were stringed with pearls.

It is different for Europe. Pearls are not ordinary gems. All European countries have legislation, but they do not even have the qualifications to use pearls. Just like the string of white-name cranes coaxing children, they are basically around 0.3 in diameter, and only the great nobles are qualified to use them here.

Not to mention golden pearls that no one has seen before.

"There is the same last one, a bear!" Bai Minghe's Byzantine language was far from that, it would be nice to be able to say a few words. He personally made a bear move, which scared Sophia. But a little bear suddenly appeared on Bai Minghe's hand, only one foot tall Minggao imitation teddy bear.

Sophia screamed, throwing the silk to the silk, holding the bear tightly in her arms.

Bai Minghe smiled and picked up the silk and stuffed it to Sophia. Sophia kissed Bai Minghe hard on the face, and then ran out. She wanted to show this to her father, of course she still couldn't see her sister.

The white-name crane opened the box and there was one inside, pure white. He pointed to Phil, meaning that this one belongs to you.

Phil didn't know anything gorgeous, but Teddy was too lethal to Phil, which almost made Phil scream too.

Not to mention that Europeans have never seen velvet-cut velvet, there are not many velvet-cut velvets in Daming. The craftsmanship of this thing is too complicated, unless there are new machines, the cost of cutting velvet by manpower is too expensive.

Alfonso V smiled: "Dignity, does your Majesty have my gift?"

This was a joke, and Alfonso V also adjusted the atmosphere. After all, Duke Phil had lost his composure. And he also needed to give the Duke a step.

Bai Minghe smiled, took out a short gun on his body and placed it on the table.

A gun, an exquisite musket, was not held in the hand, and it looked far beyond the craftsmanship of Portugal from the appearance.

Is it this gun, many guns, or something else.

Bai Minghe said at this time: "I wonder if His Majesty Morocco likes it. Or a land similar to Portugal?" (To be continued, please search Piaotianyi, the novel is better and faster!
