No one was interested in him, a sloppy old man. In the vast city of Beijing, Galileo could see many people with the same skin color as him at a glance.

Many of them even wore robes that were not separated from their pants and tops. If it weren't for the cross on their chests, it would be difficult for Galileo to tell at a glance that these people were from the far west like him.

But this also made Galileo sigh that this ancient empire may not be as closed and unattainable as the legendary one. At least it is rare for such people of all kinds to be freely traded on the street.

The jingling sound came from his ears, arousing Galileo's great curiosity. When he approached this very long carriage and parked on the side of the road, a group of people lined up got on the carriage one after another, he couldn't help but sigh that perhaps there should be such a mode of transportation for ordinary people in Europe, and the gorgeous carriage should not be just for the powerful.

What made Galileo even more happy was that this ancient Eastern Empire might really be an extremely free country.

Because he found that among the countless beings in this country, many people seem to have no signs of religious belief, no eye-catching totems, and no scenes of murder at any time due to faith. Even if there are people with faith, these people with different religious beliefs can get along peacefully!

This was something Galileo could not imagine. Those who were bare-headed and wearing a gray robe may be the legendary monks, while those who were wearing hats and whisks may be the legendary Taoist priests in the empire, plus missionaries wearing crosses like themselves and Asian Minor in white robes.

How did they live in peace? Looking at the sergeants (actually the people of the Warriors) who were stopping a dispute over a transaction dispute, Galileo seemed to understand the truth. This was not a country ruled by religion, and their social order was established by professional politicians.

By chance, when Galileo saw some young scholars from different wealth and poor reading aloud in front of a column of Chinese characters, he guessed that these might be the scholars in the Ming Empire mentioned to him that Montjersey had mentioned to him. These people will be trained in personality and moral cultivation, and the outstanding people will enter the career of officials and rule the people.

Galileo admired this system that determines who manages the country by relying on knowledge. He hated the level of political identity by relying on bloodline.

Because he himself is a person who rises up by knowledge rather than noble blood.

Before he knew it, Galileo had fallen in love with this ancient Eastern Empire called Ming Dynasty. He first lamented the vastness of this place, secondly lamented the uniqueness of this place, and then freedom and equality here.

Perhaps what he sees is the surface, perhaps anyone will be interested in a country that is stronger than his country, after all, people are walking towards a higher level.

But at least now Galileo is no longer opposed to coming to the Ming Dynasty, and even gradually forgets the tricks of Montjersey, and no longer cares about the illegal detention of these rude Ming knights.

The magnificent Forbidden City and the heavy and magnificent palace gate made Galileo feel the sacred here. He couldn't help but hold his breath and followed the palace eunuch who looked like he was beardless under his jaw and entered the palace of this ancient empire.

Under the blue sky, the shining red walls, green tiles and distinctly layered white marble steps made Galileo burst into amazement. He never thought that a country's palace could be so solemn.

Galileo now really felt that he had entered the world of heaven in a trance, and was about to see God. He performed a simple prayer ceremony devoutly and followed the eunuch to the Ganqing Palace.

What kind of person is the emperor of this empire? Could it be that he is also an old man with deep eyes or a queen with sharp eyes?

But when Galileo walked into the Ganqing Palace and saw a young man in a yellow robe appear, and the eunuchs beside him were saluting, he realized that this was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Galileo was a little disappointed with this. He never thought that the head of this huge empire was such a young man!

In his imagination, the emperor of this kind of empire should be an old man, because the old man is generally a wise man, with a different open-mindedness and mind than others, and a thorough understanding of everything.

Zhu Youxiao was also looking at Galileo. He had learned in advance that Galileo, who had been tricked from Florence, was going to meet him today.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not think about meeting Galileo at a grand ceremony. The reason was very simple, but there was no need for this.

"Take him to the West Warehouse", Zhu Youxiao did not get off the dragon chariot, and after that, he carried him to the West Warehouse.

Galileo did not expect that the emperor was so cold to him, which made him a little disappointed. He sighed in his heart that perhaps he was still a little arrogant, just like the short governor, but perhaps because of his confidence. After all, as the ruler of a huge empire, it is inevitable that he would be a little contemptuous of people in other countries. At least he did not directly kill himself because he was wearing a cross. Perhaps this was the greatest luck.

Galileo secretly thanked that he began to return to reason and no longer blindly yearn for this country like Marco Polo. After being slightly calmer, he began to follow the eunuch to the west warmhouse of the Ganqing Palace.

He thought that the tallest palace was the residence of the emperor at the beginning, but what he did not expect was that the emperor was working in such a small space.

Galileo, who had already begun to feel that his understanding of this empire was beginning to return to objectivity and rationality, was shocked again as soon as he entered the Western Warehouse, because he saw that the emperor was sitting in a small space with his ministers discussing state affairs!

Apart from a map and a lot of copywriting, there is almost no gorgeous furnishings in front of me.

Moreover, the emperor and his ministers were reviewing the memorials seriously in such a small space. Suddenly, he could see an elderly official suddenly standing up and telling the emperor something. The emperor listened very seriously and was also asking seriously.

Later, Galileo learned that this minister was Xu Guangqi, the Grand Secretary who would take charge of him in the future, and was also an academic official.

Galileo seemed to understand the secret of why a young emperor was able to take charge of this huge empire. Perhaps this emperor became an emperor at a young age because of his bloodline, but the rulers of this empire were composed of most professional politicians.

"The emperor of this empire has his own huge advisory group. He can consult everything he wants at any time. He will not let the empire pay the price because of his youthful recklessness. This may be the reason why such a huge empire can not be divided because of different beliefs, because everyone in this empire has clear division of labor, and everyone can find their own place here."
