After seeing this list that Zhou Yao handed him in person, Cai Guozhen immediately understood something.

This is not a political incident caused by a murder case at all. It is a political incident that eliminates dissidents through and through. Zhao Shiqing's death is just a cover, a cover that can start to eliminate dissidents!

If you think about it carefully, Cai Guozhen even understood the truth about Zhao Shiqing's death.

In an instant, my hair stood up and my cold sweat soaked the clothes behind me.

He knew that there was only one way left before him.

You have to leave if you don’t leave, and you have to leave if you leave, otherwise you will be completely silenced.

Cai Guozhen immediately promised Zhou Yao that he could do whatever he wanted, no matter what it was, he was willing to give everything to His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhou Yao nodded with satisfaction.

Compared to Cai Guozhen's wit and flexibility, the others seemed a little slower. When Zhou Yao took them to visit Zhu Yinghuai's miserable situation, they actually shrank into a ball and cried bitterly and said that they were innocent, but did not understand Zhou Yao's meaning.

Who cares if you are innocent?

It doesn’t matter whether you are innocent or not!

Now is your last chance to sell your soul and integrity and become His Majesty’s dog. This is what His Majesty needs. Only in this way can you live and everything else will die!

I don’t understand this kind of thing, I don’t have any political wisdom, and I still hope to have a future?

However, Zhou Yao cannot say such things clearly. Everyone’s face is not very good, so in order to enhance their political wisdom, Zhou Yao can only use some normal means, but he is very kind and kindly instructs the professionals who are starting to attack - don’t kill them.

While the political storm was intensifying, several Burmese officials, Chen Longzheng, led by several Burmese officials, came to the capital by boat to report their duties to Xiao Ruxun, and conveyed some very important news.

Also presenting the report with Myanmar officials like Chen Longzheng, Yuan Yan, the "Major of Luzon".

Unlike his father, Yuan Yan quickly put a sign on congratulations to express his surrender after the news of Xiao Ruxun ascending the throne and ascending the throne. He accepted the fact that Xiao Ruxun ascended the throne and became emperor. He was appointed by Xiao Ruxun to manage the affairs of the Luzon Islands and prepare for various maritime trade matters. He was an indispensable official under Xiao Ruxun.

The Myanmar officials who came with him this time were also officials in charge of maritime trade. They all came to tell the same thing, that is, the messenger ships from France and Genoa came to Myanmar again and asked to start trade with each other again.

The last batch of merchant ships sent almost took away all the silk iron pots and porcelain that could be collected in Myanmar, as well as a little tea.

This time they need more and the price they pay has increased. At the same time, they are very excited to send more exchange personnel to each other.

Since Chen Long was traveling to the European continent, the Chinese fever in Europe has become increasingly fierce.

The calligraphy that Chen Longzheng gave to the Governor of Genoa has become the most popular artwork in Europe. A large number of nobles went to Genoa to see the mysterious oriental art, but only a few people could see it.

At the same time, the large amount of Chinese goods held by Genoa merchants were called to sky-high prices, and even if they were like this, they could not buy them even if they had money.

The two chefs Chen Long, who were staying in Genoa, are now only cooking for the top European nobles, and others cannot enjoy mysterious and delicious Chinese food.

Under various stimuli, France and Genoa once again organized a long-distance fleet to go to China to request accelerating the speed of commercial trade.

Especially in France, the desire for such super-high profit commercial trade has reached a near-crazy point, and King Henry IV needs such a huge amount of wealth to support the shaky finances.

China, this wealthy and civilized country, has become their yearning.

The originally agreed annual trade can no longer satisfy them. They need more now, and for this, they are willing to pay a higher price.

Anyway, someone will buy it when you go back.

Representatives of France and Genoa also followed the ships all the way north to the capital of the ancient Chinese Empire.

For the first time, they directly felt the hugeness and strength of this great empire.

It actually took a month to take a boat to the coast of this empire.

Since their landing in Dagukou, elite troops have been escorted to the capital of the empire. They have seen more than one large city along the way, especially after arriving in Beijing, the capital of the empire, and their eyes are about to fall off.

They had never seen such a huge city.

And this city seems to be still being expanded.

"This country has just experienced a war. The current emperor is the general from Myanmar before. He defeated the previous Chinese emperor and established a new country. Now he is expanding the capital and preparing to accommodate more than one million people at any time. Now, the population of this city has actually reached one million."

Matteo Ricci, who came to greet and was in charge of the translation, explained this.

These days, Europe has experienced frequent wars, and wars seem normal to them. It is not surprising to change monarchs or something, but cities that can accommodate millions of people, this...

By the way, how many people does China have?

They asked Matteo Ricci so much.

Matteo Ricci said carefully: "Based on my conservative estimate, there are probably ten thousand people."

The representatives of France and Genoa were stunned.

Ten thousand people?

Is there a total of ten million people in the whole Europe at this time?

They did not make too many estimates, nor did they dare to make too many estimates. Anyway, they already knew how huge this country is.

And the great emperor who ruled tens of millions of people, what kind of person should he be?

"When meeting the great emperor, you must follow the Chinese etiquette. The great emperor of China is much more powerful than the monarchs in Europe, almost as great as the European monarchs cannot imagine. Therefore, you must be respectful and careful. There must be no rudeness, otherwise the great emperor will be completely done once he gets angry."

Matteo Ricci seriously warned the envoys of both countries.

The envoys of these two countries were already scared by such a huge empire, and nodded repeatedly to show that they would never do anything randomly.

However, after entering the capital of the empire from the side gate, they knew what broad and atmospheric means, wide streets, shops and buildings on both sides, pedestrians coming and going, patrol soldiers, brick and stone roads on the ground, and ongoing buildings that can be seen everywhere.

I only talk about so many people, they have never seen before. Compared with the capital of China, it seems that the capital of European countries cannot be regarded as the capital at all. What is even more surprising is that there is no unpleasant smell of shit and urine here.

For messengers who are used to that smell, it is very strange that they cannot see shit and urine in such a big city. Sometimes when they are in the city they are in, they must carefully look at the buildings on both sides when walking, in case someone pushes open the window and throws pee on the road at any time.
