oh?

Liangchen felt that his dog's body was shaken, and an unprecedented admiration was born from his face. At this moment, his soul seemed to be washed by holy water.

He is like being above the ocean, under the sun and the moon, as high as the temple, as far as the rivers and lakes.

No matter how far-sighted he is, how calm he is, how he can smile and watch the wind and clouds, under that holy light, he is an ordinary person after all.

Mortals cannot achieve that state.

That realm is like the great achievement of the golden elixir, or as free and easy as cultivating the Nascent Soul.

This is the true emperor!

A good minister must not do without Wanli, and the film is protruding to the ground.

As the Lord of Nine Five, I would not let go of a mere red envelope. How friendly this is, and how fucking it is!

If you are negligent and careless, how can you make such a low-level mistake?

It is not too late to repair the sheep.

The expression of the good minister changed seventy-two moments in an instant, and then he took out the two red envelopes that had already been put in his arms with lightning speed, and resolutely gave them to the Emperor Wanli, the Ming Dynasty, who was more brilliant than him and countless times more brilliant than him.

Your Majesty, I can’t finish writing even if I use bamboo from Nanshan!

There is nothing to say, everything is in this red envelope.

Liangchen's hands were trembling slightly. He was excited and glad, because it was just right!

Guarjia clan cut a total of ten red envelopes, and Liangchen gave one to Wang Tiqian, Liu Cheng, and Zhu Changxun. He just dispersed another one, and there were only two left. If only one left, it would be so embarrassing. The human emperor and the imperial concubine were one of the same husband and wife. If you want to give one, you can give one. How could you give one alone?

"Your Majesty, Empress, this is my little intention. Please accept it!"

Liangchen originally wanted to say "congratulations on getting rich", but usually the four words followed by "red envelopes", which was inconsistent with the scene at this moment, which was embarrassing, so he decisively pinched off this wave.

"Ah... this... good... good... I've received your wish!"

Wanli laughed loudly, rubbed his hands with some excitement, and actually walked up to get the red envelope.

"His Majesty?"

Concubine Zheng looked at her husband with the red envelopes for someone else’s children in shock.

She was so angry that as the emperor, how could her husband be so shameless?

In the hall, everyone's expressions were also complex and changeable.

The eunuch Zhang Cheng, who was dressed in a big red robe, turned his head aside. It was obvious that this big man was really a little embarrassed to what His Majesty the Emperor did. Why, this matter is not easy to persuade.

During the Chinese New Year, what’s wrong with His Majesty the Emperor asking for a red envelope from someone? What’s wrong!

But just watching His Majesty the Emperor lose his identity. As the eunuch of Bingbing, Eunuch Zhang really couldn't stand it, so he simply couldn't see it.

The eunuch in charge of the imperial pharmacy in a green robe, and the most trustworthy celebrity, Cui Wensheng, the father-in-law who was the most trustworthy, was stunned, but his regretful heart was so blue.

If I had known that the emperor would receive red envelopes, Eunuch Cui would be sorry for him if he was not prepared for a hundred or eighty years.

Next year, next year!

Next year, our family must prepare a big red envelope for the emperor!

Eunuch Cui made up his mind and thought about how to hide today's matter. Zhang Cheng was afraid that he would not cooperate with him. If everyone in the palace knew about the emperor receiving red envelopes, the competition would probably be very fierce next year.

The woman holding the child in her hand is Wanli's daughter-in-law, and Zhu Changxun's wife, Princess Fu, Yao. The child she holding the child is Zhu Youqu, the second son of King Fu, who was just born last year.

The royal family of Ming Dynasty chose daughters from common people's families, so the Yao family was a small family, and his father was a scholar who was a poor scholar and made a living as a Western palace.

Yao had heard of his father-in-law being greedy for money, but he didn't expect that his father-in-law could be so greedy that he could even do the job of asking for red envelopes on his own initiative. He was really amused and crying.

Moreover, she was a little disgusted with the servant whom the mother-in-law summoned, because when the other party forced a red envelope into her hand, she seemed to have glanced at places she shouldn't have looked, and gently touched the back of her hand.

This is really a traitor.

The female official is Shang Yi and Zheng Zi, the personal maid of the Imperial Concubine. Her face is hot now, not because she is hot, but because of His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, you are a emperor, and you are so embarrassed in front of your children and grandchildren.

Zheng Zi glanced at the emperor with a smile on her face and her own lady who was stunned. Then she looked at the young official with a compliment, and really wanted to smash the red envelope that the other party forced her to him on his face.

However, those who are sons understand the most and those who are fathers.

Zhu Changxun looked at the red envelope in his father's hand with a smile, not thinking about anything wrong with this, but guessing whether the bread was thirty taels there.

Wanli happily touched the two red envelopes in his hand, and could get two red envelopes with just a mouth. Where can I find such a good thing?

Just as he was about to put the red envelope into his sleeve happily, a tender childish voice made Wanli subconsciously tighten his hands.

"Emperor, I want it!"

Zhu Yousong, who was less than four years old, broke free from his mother Yao's hand, jumped to his grandfather and stretched out his hand to grab the two red envelopes.

Seeing this, Liangchen praised secretly: It turns out that it is not a family, so I don’t go into the family!

Wanli laughed, but raised his hand a little, then looked at his grandson with a smile on his face and said, "Good grandson, this is a red envelope for the emperor's ancestor, how can he give it to you? Besides, don't you have one?"

After saying that, without waiting for the grandson to speak, Wanli put the red envelope into his sleeve without hesitation, and then waved his hand to his grandson with confidence, "Go to your mother's side, the emperor's ancestor has something to do."

This is a righteous rejection.

Fearing that his grandson would still make trouble, Wanli hurriedly said to Wei Liangchen: "You are very good outside the pass. Yang Hao told me about Jianzhou, and it was done well."

Upon hearing this, the good minister hurriedly told him about the fact that he and the black-faced old man had to get Gao Huai's IOU. Wanli was even happier when he heard this. Because some of the money Gao Huai had must have fallen into his pocket. If Jianzhou made a big fuss about this matter, although it had nothing to do with his emperor, if Gao Huai really wanted to pay off his debts, he, the emperor, could not really be blamed. After all, although Gao Huai was recalled to Beijing, the account was recorded on the Liaodong Mine Supervision.

Who sent the Liaodong Mining Supervision? He is the emperor!

A great country should still have the demeanor of a great country.

Wanli cannot refuse to admit that there is really an IOU.

Moreover, this matter will be used by the foreign court to make a big fuss, and it is also a problem to attack the mining supervision and taxation envoy. Now that the creditors have eliminated the debts themselves, this matter will be exposed. There will be no trouble and no hidden dangers. Wanli is of course very happy.

This little guy Wei Liangchen is really good at doing things.

Wanli nodded and then asked Concubine Zheng: "Is there anything wrong with my beloved concubine?"

Concubine Zheng may not have reacted and stood there and didn't move.

Wanli asked again, Concubine Zheng woke up, looked at Wei Liangchen, then looked at her husband, but shook her head and said, "It's okay."

Wanli said "Oh", turned his head to look at Wei Liangchen, and smiled and said, "You can go back if you have nothing to do. I will go to greet the Queen Mother later."

"I'm going back now?"

Liangchen was confused. You couple called me back during the New Year to get two red envelopes?

Just as he was confused, Wanli asked the eunuch in red: "Zhang Cheng, did Matteo Ricci enter the palace?"

Zhang Cheng quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the man has come long ago, so I'm here."

"Call him in, I'm waiting for that picture to make the Queen Mother happy."

Wanli waved his hand and Liangchen wanted to withdraw honestly, but when he heard Matteo Ricci's name, he slowed down a step. He found that Wanli had not driven him away, so he slowly wanted to look at the Western monk and leave.

Matteo Ricci was one of the earliest pioneers of Catholic mission in China. He came to the East decades ago and always wanted to come to Beijing. He first went to Macau, and then to Zhaoqing, Guangdong, Nanchang, Jiangxi and other places. In order to find the point of fit between Catholicism and the East, Matteo Ricci studied Confucian scriptures hard. At the same time, in order to get along with Chinese scholars and officials, he gave himself a Chinese name called Xitai and changed to Confucian uniforms.

In the 23rd year of Wanli, Matteo Ricci got the opportunity to go to Nanjing on the pretext of treating a son of an official who went north to serve. During his stay in Nanjing, Matteo Ricci made friends with many famous scholars, such as Ye Xianggao, who was the current chief minister of the cabinet and was the Minister of Rites in Nanjing, and at that time, met Matteo Ricci and provided convenience for him to go north to Beijing.

In the 28th year of Wanli, Matteo Ricci finally arrived in Beijing. As soon as he arrived in Beijing, Matteo Ricci began to organize gifts and present them to Wanli, present them to the self-sounding bell, the Bible, "The Book of the Worlds", Atlantic piano and other tributes.

Emperor Wanli, who had always lived in the palace, was very interested in the Western artifacts presented by Matteo Ricci and others. Wanli loved the two large and large self-ringing bells, and he often played with the small one by him. The larger one was placed in an exquisite attic, under the responsibility of the bell and drums, and was specially responsible for the time in the palace.

Due to the complex structure of the self-ringing bell and needs frequent maintenance, the missionaries were allowed to enter the palace regularly for inspection. Finally, because of Emperor Wanli's appreciation of Western artifacts, he finally issued an order to allow Matteo Ricci and others to live in Beijing for a long time and enjoy the salary of the Ming Dynasty.

During his time in China, Matteo Ricci presented a large number of Western artifacts to the Ming Dynasty and published books. He was known as the "Western Confucian Confucian" among officials. However, Wei Liangchen knew that the real purpose of this Western monk was actually to spread Catholicism in China. The things he brought were just stepping stones, or to please Wanli.

The good minister was not interested in Catholicism, he was not interested in any religion, and he was not interested in the Western monk Ricci, but the huge missionary class behind him.

To be precise, Liangchen was interested in Western craftsmen, so he wanted to meet Matteo Ricci and see if it was possible to contact Western technology and craftsmen through the other party in the future.

Today, the technology of the Ming Dynasty is actually not weaker than that of the West. Both astronomy, geography, or weapons, have high construction numbers. However, due to the system, the good ministers cannot contact these people on a large scale, because these people are mainly literati and official class, and he, a person with a background in the eunuch party, obviously cannot catch the eye of these people.

Then, it is necessary to obtain technical support from Westerners who are eager to preach in China and then subtly transform this era.

Matteo Ricci did not come in alone. There was also an official who came in with him. He was wearing a green robe and touching a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was holding a long scroll in his hand, which was very thick, as if it was a very long painting.

Matteo Ricci's appearance looked eye-catching and awkward. He had an old Western face, but he was wearing the Confucian uniforms worn by the scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty, which was a bit inappropriate.

After the two entered the hall, they both gave great gifts to Wanli.

"Mr. Xitai is now more and more like my Ming people." The person who spoke was Concubine Wan, and his tone was very close. It seemed that Concubine Guild had dealt with Matteo Ricci, and he did not reject this Western monk.

"Of course, the grandson of Fuqing said he was a Western Religion." Wanli laughed, looked at the middle-aged official, and asked, "Li Zhizao, have you re-drawn the Wanguo map?"

"Return to Your Majesty, with the help of Mr. Li, I spent three years to re-draw the map of the nations. Today I will present it to your Majesty for the emperor to view it!" Li Zhizao's tone was a little excited. Obviously, he had been waiting for today.

Map of all nations?

Liangchen's eyes fell on the scroll in Li Zhizao's hand. He knew what the other party was holding.

Apart from "The Complete Map of Kunyu and Wanguo", he could not imagine anything else.

According to historical records of the previous life of Liangchen, the "Comprehensive Picture of Kunyu and Wanguo" was drawn by officials of the Ming Dynasty, but the basis was the Picture of Wanguo presented to Wanli by Matteo Ricci.

This map is very similar to the world map of later generations, and it places China in the center of the world. Li Zhizao re-painted it, adding a lot of geographical information about China, beyond the description of other countries, and has detailed labels for Chinese provinces and important cities. The map also depicts the main mountains, rivers, such as the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, which show in detail the origin and the provinces it flows through. In addition, world-famous rivers are also mentioned, such as Euphrates, the Nile River, Volga River, and the Indus River.
