Chapter 814 Answers
According to the news sent back by Huang Yuanshou, there was a woman surnamed Chen in the Sagani Kingdom on the other side of the Sulu Kingdom. After hearing about Huang Yuanshou's deeds, she led an uprising of the oppressed Han people and gathered thousands of people to occupy the cottage for self-defense.
Huang Yuanshou has sent his subordinates to contact her. If it is true, she will find a way to support her with weapons and gunpowder, help her gain a foothold, and accumulate strength to seize the kingship of the Sagani Kingdom.
And with the continuous return of overseas news, the spread of crude nautical charts, especially the stories deliberately promoted by Zhu Biao, many bandits and water bandits who have disappeared have begun to think about it.
It is indeed a bit petty to be king in the Ming Dynasty, and the main reason is that now every three days, the guards send troops to train soldiers with the heads of their brothers. It is really impossible to get along in this poor place.
The so-called murder and arson are recruited, but the biggest ones given in history are only fifth- and sixth-rank idle officials, and people say that if they can establish a country overseas, the minimum is a viscount and baron. If they grow up, there is hope for dukes.
Some people believe in this rumor, after all, it has not been confirmed, and no one has been awarded a knighthood because of it, but after all, there is an extra thought, not to mention that even if there is no such title, it is better to go overseas than to stay here to die.
Bandits and water bandits are in the minority after all, but this news is also very tempting to the fishermen and common people along the coast. Of course, those aristocratic families are most concerned.
Their news is more accurate, and they are very clear about the process of the imperial court's change in the maritime trade policy, which was led by the crown prince, and this news seems to have indeed come from the Wenhua Palace.

"Raja, King Sulu sent an envoy with five chariots of treasure, requesting to see you."
Huang Yuanshou was sitting high on a luxurious chair inlaid with gold, silver and jewels, which formed a stark contrast with the simple environment around him, and made him extraordinarily noble.
The fact is the same. The surrounding guards look at him from time to time with eyes looking up to the gods. There is no doubt that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Lord at any time. Among them are Han Chinese, Southeast Asians and many mixed races.
The appearance of the local people is high arched eyebrows, big eyes, slightly sunken eye sockets, flat nose bridge, fat nose head, big nostrils, thick and protruding lips, wide mouth, yellow and black skin, and straight black hair.
Ugly is really ugly, but it is also really easy to use, simple-minded, just use any means, coupled with continuous victories on the battlefield, Huang Yuanshou has already emptied King Boni in more than a year, and will annex him soon drop the country next to it.
The soldiers he brought from Daming are now scattered to key positions, one is to better control the power, and the other is to disperse them. These natives are easy to bribe, but those old men are different.
After seeing the so-called war by the locals, they all clearly realized that in Daming, they could only be a small soldier who drifted with the crowd, but here, being a general is more than enough. A soldier of a hundred battles in the Yuan Dynasty.
Of course, Huang Yuanshou didn't think so, the people here just had little experience, and some people's abilities hadn't been stimulated, and the soldiers he brought from Daming had all mixed up in Jianguo, and they didn't even become a hundred chiefs. This already explains the problem very much.
Furthermore, these people are used to seeing famous and powerful generals, and they all want to return to their roots. With my own means, it is really impossible to completely subdue them.
If something unexpected happened in the future, a decree from Jingli would be enough for them to cut off his head without hesitation.
As the power in his hands continues to grow, his ambitions gradually swell, and he often cannot sleep at night, worrying that he will be replaced by others, very resistant to contact with Daming, but dare not really break the connection.
It is said that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Here I am, dominating the king and doing whatever I want, but in Daming, I am just a meager general officer, not even a title.
"Not seen! Urge the former army, the first climber will be rewarded with a hundred grains and stones, twenty women, capture the king of Sulu, be promoted to three ranks and reward ten palace treasures, and the women in the palace can choose!"
"No!"

As for Chun'er and Xiang'er, they are similar in age, and they still have trouble walking. Chun'er has a weak foundation and is slower in development. As for Xiang'er, she is purely delicate and just wants to be hugged.
Xiang'er is Zhu Biao's only daughter at present, born of Nuanyu, the so-called, shy flower explaining language, gentle jade giving off fragrance, this nickname is appropriate, she is indeed a sweet and soft little boy.
Zhu Biao felt sorry for her, and the Crown Princess Empress Ma also liked it very much. As for Lao Zhu, he obviously didn't care much about this granddaughter, maybe because he favored sons over daughters, or maybe because he was a concubine.
"Let's eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake first, just eat half of it." Zhu Biao handed his daughter to Liu Jin, then looked at the kneeling people and said, "Excuse me, I haven't seen you for more than a year at least."
"No."
Guo Chong, Wu Bozong, Zhang Fan, and Li Jin stood up. These four were the talents selected in the imperial court's first imperial examination after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Up to now, apart from the four of you, among the Jinshi in your class, more than a hundred people have been beheaded and exiled for various reasons, and dozens of people have been dismissed from office. There are really very few left."
Guo Chong got up and said in a deep voice: "I have been hand-picked by Tianen, but I don't know how to be shameless, corrupt and pervert the law. It's not a pity to die!"
Guo Chong's appearance standing next to the other three people is still a particularly thorny mother, like a toad standing on a flock of cranes, but this highlights his sharpness and determination. This is an enterprising person with a firm heart.
Zhang Fan and Li Jin were much more peaceful. They just said that they would stick to their duties and would not shame His Highness. After experiencing several remote and weak state capitals, these two people can already be regarded as capable ministers.
As for Wu Bozong, he is still immersed in observing the astronomy and calendar in Qin Tianjian, and he is not even qualified to go to court. Although Zhu Biao knows that the career he studies is useful and meaningful, the results are not contemporary. The other three were left behind, but it's just that everyone has their own ambitions, so it's hard to say anything else.
The first thing the other three did after they returned to Beijing was to meet the emperor. As parents and officials of the state capital, they were undoubtedly the pillars of the imperial court.
Zhu Biao gave them a seat, but the four of them sat down after a simple refusal. They all thought they were partisans of the Eastern Palace, and it would be a good thing to get closer to their lord. Too polite and unfamiliar would be bad.
They can accumulate political achievements so smoothly. In addition to their own talents and virtues, the status of the prince's confidantes provides them with great help.
No matter where they work, as long as their fundamental interests are not involved, there will be no disagreement between officials from top to bottom, big and small families.
In any emergency, the local guards will be willing to dispatch troops to help, which is not the treatment that ordinary officials can enjoy.
Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of eating the king's salary, being loyal to the king, and worrying about the king's worries.
They went to the local area not to confuse political achievements, but to relieve the king's worries, govern the local area and calm the people, so they naturally had disputes with the local area, and they were often impeached and investigated. , No one can do anything about them.
Thus, after going through the local state capitals, they have made good achievements in government. The people are rejoicing, and they can recognize talents and entrust them with abilities.
Zhu Biao asked a question before their imperial prelude answered, and they hesitated for a while before speaking. In fact, it is reasonable to say that things in front of the imperial court should never be disclosed.
They were not worried about their own future, after all, they had long since realized that they were deeply troubled by the prince, but they were worried about whether this matter would lead to a rift between the Holy Majesty and His Highness the father and son.
But thinking that the emperor had just finished playing the answer, the Holy Majesty admonished them, first of all, to let them be loyal to the prince wholeheartedly, and never have half-heartedness.
Guo Chong spoke, Li Jin added, Zhu Biao nodded from time to time, and quickly finished speaking. After all, his father was the busiest time, and he was able to spare time to ask such questions, and he valued them very much.
