Chapter 1263 The Cabinet's Choice
Maidalzini dared not agree and remained silent.
However, other Holy See members were eager to try it out. They were familiar with the Bible and said it to believers countless times. If it was a debate, they would not be afraid of anyone.
But Maidarzini disagreed and firmly opposed it.
The Ming people were more vigilant than he expected, and this debate was obviously not that simple.
"I will consider this matter again." Maidarzini said to his entourage.
A group of attendants dared not disobey and responded silently.
They were quite anxious to preach in this kingdom full of gold and turn it into a kingdom of God.
What a great achievement and glory that would be! They were very excited when they thought about it.
When Xue Zhengqing heard Maidarzini's reply, he had already run around the Ministry of Rites and the cabinet. He was a little surprised and caught off guard.
Xue Zhengqing thought about it and still came to report to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu was also a little surprised and touched his chin and said, "This Maidarzini is not stupid. What are your plans? How to deal with it?"
Xue Zhengqing raised his hand and said, "Go back to the emperor, I plan to take them around so that everyone can know that my Ming Dynasty is recognized by the Holy See."
Zhu Xu thoughtfully and said, "Next?"
Xue Zhengqing said, "There will be no longer Maidarzini's business."
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Okay, you can take them around. You can go to Shenlong Mansion and build a cathedral for them. Don't rush to let them go."
Xue Zhengqing was stunned, then quickly raised his hand and said, "Emperor's Holy Wisdom!"
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Go, tell Gong Yonggu by the way, don't check it, arrange a trade with Folangji for me."
As the vice-president of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, Xue Zhengqing naturally knew that the Ming Dynasty and Folangji had a trade of 20 million stones of grain. This matter was the top priority, so he naturally could not neglect it.
"I obey the order." Xue Zhengqing raised his hand and said in a deep voice.
Zhu Xu sent Xue Zhengqing and carefully studied the recent memorials, with a calm expression.
Not long after, Cao Huachun quietly stepped in and said, "Emperor, Master Fu is here."
"Xuan." Zhu Xu said without raising his head.
Cao Huachun responded and turned around and went out.
Then Fu Changzong came in. Without waiting for him to salute, Zhu Xu stood up and said, "Uncle, I'm just going to discuss something with you."
Fu Changzong was used to it, and as Zhu Xu sat down in the small living room, he said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
Zhu Xu made tea casually and said hesitantly, "I have read the recent memorial, especially this year's summer grain, which is more than one million stones more than last year. What do you think?"
Fu Changzong looked relaxed and said, "I have noticed that this year's new policy should have some effect."
The reason for the dime has been successfully implemented in many places, and this is appropriate.
Zhu Xu poured him a cup of tea and said, "Uncle, do you think there seems to be signs of relief in the disaster?"
It is now the eleventh year of Chongzhen in history, and the disaster has continued to be severe for four or five years.
Fu Changzong listened and shook his head and said, "This year, the Shaanxi-Sichuan earthquake continued, Guizhou continued to drought, Yunnan and Fujian were hungry, and the situation in Hebei and Henan was even worse. My opinion, the disaster is still worse. The Imperial Heaven Supervision predicts that the weather will become worse and worse in the next three years, so we still cannot be optimistic..."
Zhu Xu nodded silently as he heard Fu Changzong's words and couldn't help but sigh.
People who are familiar with him say that he is patient, but in fact he is very poor and he can't wait for it for a long time. It's reality that forces him to endure it.
He had too many things he wanted to do, and was stopped by reality.
Fu Chang looked at Zhu Xu's expression and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the court is stable, and the national treasury is abundant. No major happens. If you hold on for another three or five years, everything will be fine."
Zhu Xu knew that Fu Changzong was comforting him, so he let out a sigh and smiled, "Well, I'm anxious. Is there anything you have to do?"
Fu Changzong said: "In Liaodong, Master Sun Gelao proposed a three-sided and corner, and was preparing to further expand in Liaodong, including more territory into our Ming Dynasty, with the focus on the north."
Zhu Xu muttered and said, "Tell him to take steady steps and stand firmly in every place, and not be broken by a single blow. He ordered Xiong Tingbi to cooperate with him with all his strength, and the navy should also take action."
Fu Changzong knew that Zhu Xu was keen on expanding territory, so he nodded, and looked at Zhu Xu cautiously, saying, "Recently, many officials have resigned, and are all the same as the Bi Ge Lao."
"So, what are you worried about?" Zhu Xu said lightly as she tasted the tea.
This is not obvious. Everyone in the world knows that Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting are competing, and this is clearly a demonstration.
Fu Changzong knew it was not simple, so he said calmly, "Now the new policy is in full swing, and I am worried that there will be bad news and will slam the confidence and enthusiasm of officials."
Zhu Xu laughed, shook his head, and said, "You all underestimate Master Bi Ge's mind too much."
Fu Changzong was puzzled and said, "Please let the emperor make it clear."
Zhu Xu put down the teacup and whispered, "Bi Ge Lao went south all the way, and he went to the key places of the New Deal. He seemed to be very aggressive, but what did he really do?"
Fu Changzong was stunned. Everyone knew about Bi Ziyan's forced Bumubutai in the Shenlong Mansion, and his posture seemed to be to destroy the Shenlong Mansion.
But if you think about it carefully, Bi Ziyan is capable of doing it, but the result is that he was defeated and fled in the eyes of outsiders and went to Zhejiang in a mess.
Fu Changzong didn't say anything and looked at Zhu Xu quietly.
Zhu Xu's face was filled with emotion, saying, "After all, he was pushing the new policy, so it is normal for him to go and take a look before leaving."
Fu Changzong came over and said thoughtfully: "The emperor said, Master Bi Ge only verified it, and there was no intention of objection?"
Zhu Xu nodded and said, "These people resigned from office in half to pave the way for Sun Chuanting. This old man also has good intentions and a broad mind."
Fu Changzong didn't expect that things would be like this, and he was quite shocked and said nothing for a long time.
After a while, Fu Changzong said: "It's still the emperor who can see it clearly."
Zhu Xu looked at Fu Changzong. He didn't know if Fu Changzong had any intention of going further, but in Zhu Xu's mind, Fu Changzong did not have the courage of the chief minister, and was a deputy with strong execution ability. His career had come to an end.
Of course, from the outside world, it is because of Fu Changzong's identity as a relative of the foreign country.
Zhu Xu was still a little guilty towards this diligent uncle. He pondered and said, "The Fu family will definitely have a title in the future."
Fu Changzong was shocked and knelt down and said, "I dare not accept the favor."
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk."
Fu Changzong was shocked and stood up in panic. The Fu family was already quite prominent. If he was not low-key, he would be afraid of a disaster.
Zhu Xu didn't think so much and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. Zhou Yingqiu takes over you, and there is still one person left in the cabinet. Who do you think is suitable?"
