My Daming New Empire

Page 865

Although he is young, his seniority is not low at all, and he has a prominent status in the capital.Although Yingzhou Prefecture does not have him in charge, the other members of the Zhang clan have been well-managed. He is the son-in-law and Zhu Zhanji's son-in-law, and no one dares to go beyond him.

Zhu Zhanji arranged for him to work in Jinyiwei, and he did it very well.

Zhu Zhanji looked at him and said: "Everyone present today must be strictly protected, and the researchers who participated in this project are even included in the list of special talents, giving priority to housing, cars, and increasing promotion qualifications. People should arrange a special car, and four bodyguards will protect them closely."

Zhang Mao bowed to promise, but Ma Dian was a little anxious, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I can't stand the restraint, if there are guards following me wherever I go in the future, I'm afraid... I'm afraid... I didn't want to study... ..."

For decades, no one dared to talk to Zhu Zhanji like this.If it was an ordinary official, Zhu Zhanji would have demoted him long ago, but he is more tolerant of this kind of genius.

Moreover, he was also afraid that too many restrictions would kill Ma Dian's talent.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help shaking his head and said with a smile: "You talked about the conditions with me,...Okay, tell me, what do you want?"

At this time, Ma Dian was speechless again. He wanted to be free, and he didn't want to be surrounded by a few burdens every day.But let him tell himself what kind of life he wants to live, he himself doesn't know.

Zhu Zhanji said for him: "Well, I will give you a few conditions, and you can see if it suits you."

Seeing his father winking all the time, Ma Dian also came to his senses, and quickly bowed and said, "Please teach me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Zhanji said: "I promise you to choose a researcher as an assistant. If you have any thoughts on weekdays, tell them, write them down, and then organize them into a book.

If you don't want to be restrained, I won't make it difficult for you. From now on, except for one driver, Jin Yiwei and others will be secretly protected.

If you want to go sightseeing, tell me, my special train is ready for you at any time.However, you can't participate in dangerous projects, and I don't allow adventures like flying.

If you want to go out to sea and play on islands, I will give you the Yongle number.On the boat, I will arrange beautiful women from all over the world for you, let you have fun, and all expenses will be counted on me.

As long as you play no more than half of the year, I will satisfy you with whatever you want.As long as you don't indiscriminately kill people or rebel, I will bear the heaviest crimes for you.

As long as you live happily every day, use your smart head to serve Daming.I guarantee that your family will prosper in the future, the Ming Dynasty will continue, and the Ma family will continue.

How about this condition? "

Don't talk about Ma Dian, even other people are all shocked by these conditions.

Even the prince and grandson of Zhu Zhanji's special train have no right to use it.

The Yongle is a royal cruise ship, so far only Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji, the dead queen Sun Xian, and Lan Guifei have been on it.

A few years ago, the eldest princess Zhu Xue, who was much loved by His Majesty, wanted to use the Yongle to take her sisters out to play, but Zhu Zhanji refused to allow her. In the end, she was only given the orthodox number, which was one size smaller, and let a group of princesses I have been to the Nanyang region for several months.

Not to mention that in Zhu Zhanji's conditions, apart from rebellion, he can even help Ma Dian to bear the burden of killing. This kind of grace is unmatched by anyone.

Ma Di pulled on the horse power that had been dumbfounded, and both father and son knelt down. "I implore your majesty to take back the holy order. I am so loved by your majesty, and I don't think the dog is naughty. But...the world has its own rules, and there is no rule without rules. The father and son dare not go beyond the rules."

Zhu Zhanji stepped forward to help a person with one hand and let them stand up.Haha laughed and said: "Mingguang alone can reach an army of one hundred thousand, and I can't praise you too much. My promise is always valid, as long as you are not afraid of Prime Minister Yu breaking your leg, I will help you with any beautiful woman you want Get it."

Ma Dian smiled embarrassedly and said: "I dare not act recklessly, I just want to ask Your Majesty to personally preside over the marriage for my minister when he is getting married."

Putting forward this condition, Zhu Zhanji looked at Ma Dian even more.Although he escaped, after all, he is also a son of an official family, and he knows how to measure.Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, Zhu Zhanji appreciates him so much now, but he is not proud of his favor.

Zhu Zhanji nodded immediately and said: "I not only officiated the marriage for you, but also gave you Ma Mingguang's golden book and iron scroll, which will be used by future generations."

Golden book iron scroll is also called Dan book iron voucher, Dan book: written with cinnabar; iron deed: a certificate made of iron.After the Tang and Song Dynasties, Danshu was changed to pure gold inlaid in iron molds, so it was renamed Jinshu and Iron Scroll.

This is the certificate given by the ancient emperors to the heroes to enjoy preferential treatment or immunity from crime for generations, and it is called the death-free gold medal among the people.

There have been obvious changes in the text of the gold book iron coupons in the Ming Dynasty.One is that treason is not forgiven, only other capital crimes are forgiven; the second is that the number of times of avoiding death is relatively small, and descendants will inevitably die.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di awarded a total of [-] family golden books and iron scrolls, but in the hands of Zhu Zhanji, this is the first golden book and iron scroll to be awarded.

As far as he is concerned, he would rather let a loyal minister start well and end well, which is more dignified than a gold medal for avoiding death in his name.

As for their descendants, they cannot lie under the blessings of their ancestors and dominate.

But for Ma Dian, a genius, he was willing to make an exception once.

Ma Dian didn't say anything at this time, and immediately knelt down again. "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your generous reward. From now on, I will be Your Majesty and devote myself to Daming until I die!"

Chapter 20 Dawn

"Monte, I still remember you. When your father took the three of you from Rome to Daming, you were still a child at that time."

Meng Meng, who was kneeling under the stage, burst into tears, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty can remember the villain, the villain, the villain..."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Your father is a Lord of Honor bestowed by me, and you and your elder brother have also been bestowed by me. You can no longer call yourself a foreigner. Although you have foreign blood, the three of you, father and son, all have the same heart. Da Ming, if you work for my Ming, you are a citizen of my Ming."

Seeing Monte, Zhu Zhanji thought of his father Carl Soli.This is one of the talents who have contributed a lot to Daming among the foreigners who were naturalized in Daming.

Daming's parliament building and the first arena are all credited by Karl Soli.What's more, speaking of it, they have a little relationship with themselves.

Monte's sister, Sophia, is married to Zhu Zhanji's cousin, Zhang Wu, who is Mrs. Liang Guogong.Although she has died of illness now, the children she gave birth to are still Zhu Zhanji's cousins.

After talking with Monte about Calsoli's past, Zhu Zhanji turned the topic to Meng Zheng again.

Zhu Zhanji had some impressions of the Monte family, because of their contributions in business, Zhu Zhanji even gave them the surname Meng.

Meng Zheng graduated from the Polytechnic Institute. His academic performance was mediocre, but because of his good football, he was a famous figure in school.

After graduating now, he was originally going to stay in the Polytechnic Institute to teach, and it is said that he has a marriage contract with the granddaughter of the imperial hero Duan Renzhi.

Monte, including his elder brother Enke who is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, are all typical foreigners who actively integrated into Ming Dynasty.

Coupled with the relationship between his sister Sophia and Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji directly agreed when the Secretary of General Administration proposed to use Monte's identity to establish a network of relationships among upper-class people in European countries.

However, the Secretary of the General Administration feared that the conversion of the Lord of Honor to the Earl would arouse European suspicion. Zhu Zhanji disagreed with the fact that he wanted to confer Mengzheng and give Mengzheng a noble status.

Daming's official title is not so easy to obtain. Although Meng Zheng is willing to serve as Daming's secret, but rashly conferring him a title will still break the rules.

On the contrary, Monte has worked for the Department of Information in the past, and this time he used his status to help the Secretary of General Administration break into the upper class of Europe, so it is reasonable to confer Monte.

As for whether his sudden change of status will arouse European suspicion, it is actually not important.

Because the real dark room is not him, but Meng Zheng, his identity is only to provide a platform for Ming spies to enter Europe, even if he arouses the suspicion of Europeans, it is not a big problem.

He will not stay in Europe for long, but Meng Zheng needs it.The son of the Earl of Ming Dynasty, this identity is enough for Meng Zheng.

He has a handsome appearance and a strong body. Zhu Zhanji still has great expectations when he thinks of turning him into the James Bond of Daming.

The earl of Ming Dynasty is more noble than the kings of many small European countries.

Even if it is fake, it would be too appalling to confer Mengzheng directly as an earl, and it would not be conducive to his actions in Europe.

Therefore, it is better to confer Monte directly.

However, after the enfeoffment system of Daming was implemented, it was not so simple.

Even the baron at the lowest level has his own fief, and to ennoble Monte, he must choose a fief for him.
