Philip first sent Minister Pierre to negotiate with the Japanese shogunate in the name of Louis XV, expressing his willingness to cede land and pay compensation for permanent truce with the Japanese shogunate, and to determine the sphere of influence of the two countries in the Americas.

The Japanese shogunate is willing to negotiate because it has been defeated by the French army several times in a row.

However, because Tokugawa's family was deeply influenced by China, he insisted on asking the King of France to submit to him and pay tribute every year.

Philip finally agreed to the Tokugawa shogunate's request.

The Tokugawa shogunate also agreed to a truce with France, and took this opportunity to rest and rehabilitate and digest the territory it had just expanded.

However, Philip's behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of many French civilians.

Because France's current development of handicrafts led to a large number of free people appearing, nationalist ideas have long been rising.

Especially under the special guidance of Louis XIV during the reign of the reign of Louis XIV, many French civilians really wanted to make their country strong and were willing to bear the pressure of the plague in the Americas and fight bloody battles with the Japanese army.

But now Philip's actions have naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many French civilians.

Even middle and lower-level officials from civilian origin launched a riot, but because the civilian power was too scattered and many civilian origin officers were also bribed by the nobles, the riot was quickly pacified by Philip's army command.

Philip took this opportunity to abolish Louis XIV's new imperial examination system and meritorious service system on the grounds that civilians did not have the qualities to govern the country.

At this point, the civilians once again lost the opportunity to advance to nobles.

Then, Philip, in the name of Louis XV, significantly reduced inheritance tax and luxury tax, causing the country's fiscal revenue to drop sharply.

Fortunately, France has now ceased war with Japan, so Philip took advantage of this to significantly reduce his troops and save military expenses.

This allowed the French Bourbon dynasty to continue to maintain daily expenses despite a sharp drop in fiscal revenue.

But Philip didn't want his France to become a powerful empire.

But he placed his hope of the might of relying on the Ming Dynasty's idea of ​​relying on the Ming Dynasty. He believed that as long as he reached cooperation with the Ming Dynasty and established the favor of the Ming Dynasty, he could achieve the goal of making the empire powerful without losing the interests of his French nobles.

He also knew that if the Ming Dynasty wanted to cooperate with his own France and support him to become bigger, he would have to see some of the benefits of the Ming Dynasty.

Philip decided to send an envoy to Ming State to contact Ming State.

...

"Your Majesty, there is important news from the West that Louis XIV, the monarch of the Bourbon dynasty in France, died of falling into the water in the palace!"

Zhu Youxiao learned about Louis XIV falling into the water on the afternoon of the early summer of the 55th year of the Apocalypse.

This made him suddenly feel chills, and he stood up and asked Wu Mengming, who was responsible for collecting external intelligence: "What did you say? Louis XIV fell into the water? Such things will happen to Western barbarians?!"

Wu Mengming replied: "The inner minister dares not lie. The news that came back is indeed like this. Now the Bourbon dynasty is now the regent of Louis XIV's brother Philip."

"Call the assistants!"

Zhu Youxiao immediately gave an order.

Although the intelligence collection ability of Jinyiwei in Europe is not as strong as before and can report every detail, he is still somewhat suspicious.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao also knew what Louis XIV did in France over the years.

Zhu Youxiao was actually a little worried that Louis XIV would really make France the strong enemy of the Ming Dynasty in the Atlantic.

But he did not expect that the French nobles themselves would end their own path to rise.

"This is a good thing! Louis XIV is an ambitious monarch who has done a great job of allowing France to unify the European continent, and fortunately his clans and ministers did not want him to do so."

After Wen Tiren and other auxiliary ministers came to Zhu Youxiao, Wen Tiren said first.

Zhu Youxiao asked at this time: "You guys should know that this situation has also happened in this dynasty."

Wen Tiren and other assistant ministers were not good at talking after hearing this.

"I remember that Philip was here to study in this dynasty. Louis XIV asked him to come, probably to let him learn the prosperity and strength of my Ming Dynasty. But he learned this!"

Zhu Youxiao continued to say something.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but shook his head and smiled: "Your Majesty must be a little sympathetic to Louis XIV?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

Lu Xiangsheng said again: "From personal perspective, I am quite frustrated by Louis XIV. Philip's move is undoubtedly a crime of killing a king and killing his brother! But I believe that the court should not be rushing to blame him for expressing his opinion on this matter. We should also look at Philip's policies in France. If it is contrary to his brother's actions and he is willing to cooperate with us in the Ming Dynasty, we can continue to cooperate with him."

"That's right! This is in the interests of my Ming Dynasty! Even if Philip is willing to protect my Ming Dynasty's interests in Europa, we still need to protect his status in France and even the entire Europa!"

Zhang Tongchang said.

"What you said is naturally correct, and it is natural to do this in national policy. But I can't help but remember my experience of reforming and eliminating evil after ascending the throne, which can be said to be a life-threatening death."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel emotion.

Then, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "What's the situation in England? Have they started to ban smoking?"

"There hasn't been news yet, but it is reported that we, Han people, have become Charles II's son-in-law."

Wu Mengming replied.

...

"Zhu Zi said: "The Great Learning of Self-cultivation, Managing the Family, Governing the Country, and Pacifying the World are basically just a righteous heart and sincerity. Therefore, Zhu Xi believed that governing the country should be based on virtue and etiquette and supplemented by politics and punishment. This is also the so-called government and virtue as the sage said..."

Charles II was wearing a Confucian robe at this time, sitting in front of Xu Qianxue, listening patiently as Xu Qianxue taught him Confucian classics.

With the help of Xu Qianxue, and with the help of him, he was also smart and diligent, so he had long understood the Han pronunciation and knew some simple Confucianism. Now he has begun to listen to Xu Qianxue teaching him the thoughts of Zhu Zi.

He listened with relish and thought that if he restrained his virtue, he was indeed the first element of his desire to make his British Empire strong.

However, just when Charles II was studying Confucianism seriously, he also learned that Louis XIV had fallen into the water and died.

"According to the French nobles, during the reign of Louis XIV, he was entrusted and lewd and unruly. Although he performed well in military terms, he was also piled up with money from lewd and lewd and eventually fell into the water due to lewd and lewd! Fortunately, his brother Philippe regent, changed his harsh government, lighted taxes and reduced taxes, and simplified the national government, so that his country would be revived."

After Xu Qianxue used the second-hand information he heard and briefly processed it, he also mentioned this to Charles II.
