In the evening, there were seats inside and outside the Ganqing Palace, and people were also filled with people.

Inner prison, the palace maids came and went in a hurry, serving dishes.

Zhu Xu sat in the palace with the cabinet, the ministers of the six ministries, and naturally exchanged greetings. Although Zhu Xu didn't like clichés, he was willing to do so for so many years.

Zhu Xu has always rarely favored the ministers like this, so everyone here is extremely excited. After Zhu Xu persuaded him to drink a few drinks, he was a little drunk.

After Zhu Xu made some polite decisions, he left the Ganqing Palace with Sun Chuanting and exchanged greetings with officials, governors and congressmen at all levels in the yard and among the lights.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty have always been cold, especially Emperor Wanli hid in the palace for decades, and the ministers have been unable to get close to the emperor for too long.

Zhu Xu's "people-friendly" attitude was unprecedented, which made many officials ecstatic. He seized the opportunity to get close to Zhu Xu and wanted to leave a good impression on him.

After a while, Queen Zhang Yun brought Prince Zhu Cixuan over and accompanied Zhu Xu to greet these people. She was polite and brought the dinner to a climax.

There are several tables not far away for foreign envoys, and the conspicuous table is European.

A big bearded man watched Zhu Xu walking around the crowd, blinked, and said word by word in awkward Chinese, "The emperors of our country do not have such affinity."

Judging from his clothes, it is from the Ottoman Empire.

On his right hand was the messenger of the Netherlands, a handsome, young and innocent man. He looked at the MPs and said to himself: "Their parliament is very interesting. I need to study it and report it to the country."

Next to the Envoy of the Netherlands was the Envoy of France. This was a big fat man with an arrogant look. He snorted coldly and said, "The king of our country is wise and powerful, and is destined to dominate Europe. He does not need to be so condescending to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"

On the right side of the French envoy was the English ambassador to the Ming Dynasty. This was a tall and thin middle-aged man with a blue nose and eyes. His eyes were always staring at Zhu Xu and others. He smiled at the corners of his mouth. He could only hear him, "We need to maintain a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty. I have a premonition that the future world is very important..."

On the right side of the English messenger was the Spanish messenger. The messenger looked solemn and his eyes were flashing.

The situation in Spain is very bad. In the sea, facing the increasingly active challenges of the Netherlands, and on land, facing the traditional powerful enemy Ottoman, it also has to face the threat of the rising France.

The relationship between Ming and Spain passed its initial honeymoon period, and some differences gradually emerged.

Spain demanded that the Ming Dynasty cut off ties with European countries outside Spain, while the Ming Dynasty insisted on freedom of trade and did not stand sidelines, although the Ming Dynasty signed a maritime security treaty with Spain.

The Ottoman is now gradually equipped with a maritime fleet built by the Ming Dynasty. This fleet is in the Mediterranean Sea, especially the large ship of the Ming Dynasty, which makes people intimidate. In addition, it is equipped with artillery that is more advanced than Europe, which makes Spain, which once destroyed the Ottoman Navy and is now declining, feels very uncomfortable.

The Netherlands had the closest relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Although it did not involve military aspects, the Netherlands accounted for almost 70% of the Ming Dynasty's foreign trade and the scope of cooperation was getting bigger and bigger. The Netherlands' national strength had almost doubled in the past two years, which can be seen from the increase in merchant ships more than doubled.

The Netherlands is fighting independence with Spain. The increase in strength is the biggest threat to Spain.

Although France was arrogant and did not involve the Ming Dynasty and did not pay attention to sea, its national strength was still growing rapidly and constantly provoking Spain's hegemony. The war between the two countries seemed to be a matter of time.

England was lonely overseas, seemingly isolated, but it also destroyed Spain's invincible fleet back then and was the enemy of Spain.

By this calculation, Spain is almost isolated and helpless in Europe.

This environment makes people feel uneasy!

‘No, this situation must change!’

The Spanish envoy to the Ming Dynasty spewed out of his eyes and said in a roaring heart.

He looked up at Zhu Xu passing through the crowd, and thought about the Ming Dynasty working together to reform during the day to deal with the disaster, especially the astonishing budget, which really made the ambassador extremely envious and admired.

'If His Majesty of our country had the mind of the Emperor of Ming, how good would it be if the Ming Dynasty worked together like this...'

He sighed in his heart, and his expression was unabashed with envy. Although Ming Dynasty faced unprecedented disasters, its strength was still terrible, and its accumulation over hundreds of years was extraordinary.

The envoy's expression changed for a while, and he made up his mind to say, "We must have a serious conversation with Mingguo, even if His Majesty comes here in person!"

The Ming Dynasty's influence on Europe is becoming increasingly important and cannot be ignored, let alone underestimated!

The envoys such as the Netherlands, England just said something politely and did not say anything else. After all, their country relations are extremely complicated.

But everyone had some thoughts in their eyes. It was obvious that the Ming Dynasty's big discussion gave them some impact.

Especially the system of the Ming Dynasty was extremely impactful to them, and the checks and balances and centralization of power were very enlightening.

These envoys sat with different hearts and didn't eat much, and kept observing the officials from all over the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xu accompanied these officials of all sizes for an hour at a dinner party, and then turned back to Kunning Palace and met the wives of those destined women and the officials' wives, and then exchanged greetings again.

This dinner didn't end until late at night.

Kunning Palace.

Zhu Xu helped Zhang Yun, who was wearing a belly, took off his clothes and smiled, "How are you? Are you tired?"

Zhang Yun didn't feel tired, so he lay there and said, "I am not tired, are you tired?"

Zhu Xu lay down, hugged her, and smiled and said, "I'm fine, how about Yi'er?"

As the prince, Zhu Cixuan has been accompanying Zhu Xu back and forth. Although the little guy doesn't have to drink and doesn't talk much, he must have been very tired after a few hours.

Zhang Yun couldn't help but smile and said, "Yuaner is already asleep. Before going to bed, he asked me if I could buy him an illustration collection."

Zhu Xu laughed as he heard this. This little guy didn't like anything else. He loved these illustrations and stories and had a chance to read them all over the afternoon.

Zhu Xu looked satisfied and said, "I didn't pay much attention before. I really surprised me with my performance today. Buy him, find some time, take him out of the palace in person, choose more, and put it on the East Warehouse Pavilion, and I will accompany him to watch it."

Zhang Yun smiled and said, "Well, after the New Year, I will find an opportunity to take him out for a walk."
