Sword Xia of the Shu Mountains Chapter 25: Ling Yun to rule the country


Now let's talk about the protagonist of our story, Chang Lingyun; when he made some suggestions on governing the country to the Wanli Emperor, he was quickly adopted by the Wanli Emperor; the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun accepted the appointment of Chang Lingyun as the The day after the first assistant of the cabinet, he issued a guilt edict, telling him all the wrong things he did when he was blinded by the demon girl Ziyan, and stated in the guilt edict that he was determined to suffer. The will and determination to change the past made the people begin to forgive the emperor who was determined to reform the past from the bottom of their hearts. After issuing his own edict, Emperor Wanli abolished the sea ban policy that had been maintained for more than 100 years since the founding of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and took the initiative to open Macao and Guangzhou to the three newly emerging European countries, namely Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands. Waiting for the trading ports in the coastal areas to start to introduce foreign food that can solve the food problem; today, Chang Lingyun received a letter from Wang Sen, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, in the palace, Wang Sen said in the letter that he was willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty and announced No longer an enemy of the imperial court; after learning the news, Chang Lingyun immediately rushed to Xuanzheng Hall to report the situation to Emperor Wanli. When Emperor Wanli heard the news, he was very happy, so he excitedly told the emperor. Chang Lingyun said

"The White Lotus Sect has decided to submit to the imperial court. This is a great thing for me, Daming. From now on, my world will be stable."

Chang Lingyun arched his arms and responded respectfully to Emperor Wanli

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Hexi Your Majesty, it is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty for the White Lotus Sect to submit to our dynasty. Wei Chen urges the emperor to issue an imperial decree and send Wei Chen to Lianhua Mountain for peace"

After listening to Chang Lingyun's words, Emperor Wanli said with a smile

"Hahaha, you and I thought about going together, I just wanted to send you to the Lotus Mountain to accept the surrender of the White Lotus Sect; well, then I will give you the imperial decree now"

"Thank you for the grace of the emperor, Wei Chen retire"

A few days later, Chang Lingyun took Wu Ruoyun and the court team to Lianhua Mountain as the first minister of the cabinet and met Wang Sen, the leader of the White Lotus Sect. After seeing the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Chang Lingyun arched his arms very well. Politely said to Wang Sen

"Master Wang, stay safe"

"Chang Shaoxia is being polite. Now you are the official of the imperial court. Since you have also surrendered to the imperial court, we, the White Lotus Sect, should also take the initiative to submit to the imperial court."

At this moment, people from the three gangs and four sects suddenly came over from the white lotus sect. The leader was Huang Kun, the head of the Kongtong sect. When Huang Kun saw Chang Lingyun, he immediately folded his hands and saluted. Road

"Leader, stay safe"

Chang Lingyun also immediately arched his arms in return

"Master Huang, you're welcome, why are you three gangs and four factions here"

Huang Kun explained with a smile

"Oh, it's like this, when we learned that the Alliance Leader was going to Lianhua Mountain today to recruit the White Lotus Sect, in order to meet the Alliance Leader, we went to Lianhua Mountain in person, hoping to meet the Alliance Leader"

At this time, Shangguan Feijian, the head of the Huashan faction, said

"The leader of the alliance is now an official of the imperial court. Our three gangs and four factions have already negotiated and planned to join the White Lotus Sect and submit to the imperial court"

After listening to Shangguan Feijian's words, Chang Lingyun felt a burst of joy in his heart. He smiled and asked Shangguan Feijian with great joy

"Is it true?"

Huang Kun immediately answered Chang Lingyun for Shangguan Feijian

"It's absolutely true, the leader of the alliance, since the leader of the alliance has also surrendered to the imperial court, then our three gangs and four factions should also submit to the imperial court"

After listening to Huang Kun's words, Chang Lingyun said very excitedly

"This is great, the three gangs, four sects and the White Lotus Sect have all surrendered to the imperial court, and the revival of my Ming Dynasty is just around the corner"

At this time, Xu Hongru, deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect, said

"Our sect leader once said that when the imperial court implements benevolent governance, the White Lotus Sect will submit itself to the imperial court. Now the emperor has recovered his mind and changed his mind and made an edict of his own sins to show his desire to correct his past wrongs, and appointed Chang Shao. Xia, you are the chief minister of the cabinet, so we Bailianjiao should submit to the court"

After listening to Xu Hongru's words, Chang Lingyun laughed and said

"Okay, okay, I hope the White Lotus Sect can serve the court forever in the future"

After speaking, Chang Lingyun decided to read out the imperial decree for surrender that Emperor Wanli had given him; so he ordered the officials around him

"Go and bring me the imperial edict of surrender"

"Yes, my lord"

When the official sent the imperial decree from the emperor to Chang Lingyun, Chang Lingyun said to Wang Sen, the leader of the White Lotus Sect

"Master Wang, this is an imperial decree of the emperor to surrender, please ask the master to accept the decree on behalf of the members of the White Lotus Sect"

After listening to Chang Lingyun's words, Wang Sen led all the White Lotus Sect members to kneel on the ground and listen carefully to the emperor's decree

"Fengtian, Emperor Zhao said: The leader of the White Lotus Sect, Wang Sen, has decided to submit to the imperial court, and I will not blame the White Lotus Sect for trying to overthrow the imperial court, and I will not blame it. I, Ming Dynasty, have always ruled the country with benevolence, and put harmony as the most precious thing. Since the White Lotus Sect has surrendered , for the past deeds should be forgiven; in order to show the tolerance and mighty power of the Ming Dynasty, I specially ordered Wang Sen, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, to be the general of Pingnan and the prefect of Fujian and Guangdong to assist the court in rectifying the south.”

At this time, Wang Sen led all the White Lotus believers around him to shout in unison

"Long live my emperor, long live"

After Wang Sen received the imperial decree from Chang Lingyun, Chang Lingyun also handed over the letter of appointment that the emperor ordered him to hand over to Wang Sen.

"Master Wang, after receiving your letter of decision to surrender to the imperial court, the emperor Longyan Dayue specially ordered me to come here to accept your surrender. This is the letter of appointment that the emperor specially sent me to you to appoint you as the prefect of Fujian and Guangdong. I hope you will serve the court well"

After listening to Chang Lingyun's words, Wang Sen said seriously and seriously

"Don't worry, since I, Wang Sen, have surrendered to the imperial court, I will never do anything against the imperial court again. This is the case now, and it will be the same in the future."

After saying this, Wang Sen noticed Wu Ruoyun, the righteous daughter standing beside Chang Lingyun, so he quickly stretched out his arms to hold his righteous daughter tightly in his arms, and said /

"Ruoyun, my good daughter, so you are here"

When Wu Ruoyun saw this, he fell into the arms of his adoptive father Wang Sen and cried

"Father, long time no see, I miss you so much"

"Ruoyun, my good daughter, my adoptive father misses you very much, too. During the few days when you are not by my side, my adoptive father often misses you in his heart"

Just as the father-daughter duo fully released their innermost feelings for the father-daughter relationship, Huang Kun immediately walked to the father-daughter duo's side and said

"Lord Wang, our leader has come all the way from the capital for the purpose of recruiting and surrendering. Whatever you say, you have to invite our leader to a bar. By the way, it's okay for you father and daughter to have a good chat at the banquet. "

After listening to Huang Kun's words, Wang Sen gently let go of his daughter and turned to Huang Kun who was talking to him with a smile.

"Sect Master Huang is really rude, if you don't say I almost forgot, well, today I'll invite you brothers from the three gangs and four factions and Chang Shaoxia to have a drink in the Lotus Mountain of my White Lotus Sect"

After he finished speaking, he instructed the deputy leader Xu Hongru

"Go and instruct the congregation to prepare food and drink and hold a banquet. We want to have a good drink with Chang Shaoxia and the brothers from the three gangs and four factions"

Xu Hongru immediately lowered his head and arched his arms to answer

"Subordinates obey"

After nearly half an hour of preparation, the banquet finally began; in the cave of Lianhua Mountain where the main altar of the White Lotus Sect is located, Chang Lingyun and the leader of the White Lotus Sect Wang Sen, as well as all the brothers from the three gangs and four sects and the White Lotus Sect All the members of the church chatted happily together, the atmosphere was very lively, and the scene was very lively; at this banquet, Wu Ruoyun and her adoptive father Wang Sen sat together, drinking and eating food, while telling the story After she left the White Lotus Sect, she followed Chang Lingyun's process and experience of escorting Zheng Wang Zhu Houan on the way to Beijing. After listening to his daughter Wu Ruoyun's narration, Wang Sen said to Wu Ruoyun

"Ruoyun, I didn't expect so many things happened with Chang Lingyun since you decided to quit the White Lotus Sect; did you know that after you left your foster father, he was thinking about you almost every day and every night? , but now that you are safe and sound, the adoptive father is finally relieved."

After listening to the adoptive father's words, Wu Ruoyun said to the adoptive father

"My foster father, so am I. Since I left you, I thought I would never see my foster father again, but I didn't expect to see you today."

"Yes, my adoptive father did not expect to meet you again today in the main altar of the White Lotus Sect"

After Wang Sen finished speaking, he drank a glass of wine and continued to say

"The reason why the adoptive father was at ease in handing you over to Chang Shaoxia's care was because Chang Shaoxia was an upright man, he had a chivalrous heart, and the two of you were in love with each other, so he agreed with you to quit the White Lotus Sect and follow him. "

When Wang Sen said this, he suddenly became concerned about his daughter Wu Ruoyun's marriage

"By the way, are you married to Chang Lingyun?"

Wu Ruoyun replied shyly after listening to her adoptive father's question

"Not yet"

"What do you think, if the righteous father will betroth you to Chang Shaoxia right now and marry the two of you here?"

When Wu Ruoyun heard that her adoptive father was going to arrange her marriage with Chang Lingyun, her cheeks immediately turned bright red because she was very shy, she said to her adoptive father Wang Sen tenderly

"It's all up to my adoptive father"

Therefore, Wang Sen immediately stood up from his seat and said to Chang Lingyun, who was sitting in the audience and talking with representatives of the three gangs and four factions

"Chang Shaoxia, I have some great news to officially announce"

After listening to Wang Sen's words, Chang Lingyun turned to ask Wang Sen, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, who was standing on the main stage

"Excuse me, Master, what is the good news?"

Wang Sen laughed for a while, then sat down and said

"Hahaha, it's good news about you and my righteous daughter Wu Ruoyun; I, Wang Sen, have no children, only a precious girl like Ruoyun. Although Ruoyun is not my biological daughter, I have always regarded her as Pearl in the palm; now my daughter has met the most beloved person in her life, and this person is you, Chang Shaoxia. Since you and my daughter are in love, then I, the adoptive father, will fulfill the two of you here; Today, I will officially marry my righteous daughter Wu Ruoyun to you, and the two of you will marry here."

After listening to Wang Sen's words, Huang Kun, who was sitting in the same audience as Chang Lingyun, said to Chang Lingyun

"Leader, congratulations, I must eat your wedding wine today"

Han Zifeng, the leader of the beggar gang, said happily with a glass of wine in his heart

"The leader of the alliance is very happy today, let's not get drunk or go home"

Just when the brothers of the three gangs and four factions thought that Chang Lingyun would agree to the marriage, Chang Lingyun rejected the favor of Wang Sen, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, in front of Wu Ruoyun. He stood up and arched his arms and said

"Ling Yun accepted the good intentions of the leader Wang, but Ling Yun is now concerned about national affairs and does not want to get married for the time being"

"What did you say? Don't want to get married?"

Wang Sen asked repeatedly with a look of surprise. He was a little surprised by Chang Lingyun's answer; and Chang Lingyun explained to him

"Yes, that's right; please listen to the explanation below, Ling Yun is now an official of the imperial court, shouldering the heavy burden and obligation to reinvigorate my Ming Dynasty. If I consider the personal affairs of my children now, I am afraid it will delay major events"

After listening to Chang Lingyun's words, Kongtong faction head Huang Kun said

"The alliance leader's words are too bad. Can't you still do your big thing when you marry a daughter-in-law? What's more, you have a woman by your side. If you have any problems in life, she can help you; I'm a big man. I don't know how to speak, so I'd better ask Master Xuannan to say a few words."

After speaking, Huang Kun laughed twice and passed the topic to Master Xuan Nan, the abbot of the Shaolin School who was sitting beside him and sipping fragrant tea; Master Xuan Nan immediately put down the tea cup in his hand and put his hands together said

"Amitabha, Lao Na is a monk, and he is almost completely ignorant of his children's private affairs; but Lao Na feels that what Huang Sect has just said to the Alliance Leader is very reasonable, and the Alliance Leader may wish to listen to Huang Sect's opinion"

At this time, Shangguan Feijian, the head of the Huashan faction, was also laughing at the side

"Leader, Miss Wu looks like a flower and jade, you are so lucky, you might as well marry her to fulfill the wish of the leader of the king"

The other leaders and gang members of the three gangs and four factions also followed the head of Shangguan and roared

"Yes, Alliance Leader, you should marry Miss Wu"

Next, there was a sudden burst of calls to encourage Chang Lingyun to marry Wu Ruoyun; at this time, Chang Lingyun stretched out his arm and made a gesture asking everyone to stop talking for a while, the leader of the three gangs and four factions After seeing this, we and the gang immediately quieted down

"Everyone, listen to me, what you just said makes sense, but I really don't have any plans to get married; the court has just recovered and needs to be reinvigorated. There are many important things that I need to deal with, so I don't have time to take care of my personal affairs at all, I hope you can understand"

When Chang Lingyun finished saying this, Wu Ruoyun got up from her seat angrily, and saw her face covered with tears, looking like she was aggrieved, her fair and rosy cheeks had long since been lost It was as gorgeous and lustrous as a flower before; she rudely pointed at Chang Lingyun and cursed

"Chang Lingyun, you bastard, you think I want to marry you. Since you don't want to marry me, just say it straight. There is no need to make so many excuses. From today onwards, we will make a clean break"

After scolding, she burst into tears and ran towards the outside of the main altar of the White Lotus Sect without turning her head; Chang Lingyun was immediately stunned when he saw this; While shouting Wu Ruoyun's name, he ran after her from the direction she ran out

"Ruoyun, where are you going, wait for me, Ruoyun"

After exiting the gate, the two of them ran to the edge of the cliff of Lianhua Mountain. Under the cliff was the boundless sea. The sea violently impacted the rocks under the cliff with the force of the sea breeze. Falling down, there is almost no possibility of surviving; however, Wu Ruoyun is not that stupid, she never thought of committing suicide at all, but she could not accept Chang Lingyun in front of everyone and refused her adoptive father to give them to them. The marriage arranged by the two was a blow, so without thinking about it, I ran all the way from the main altar of the White Lotus Sect and rushed to the edge of the cliff

"Ruoyun, what are you doing, come here and stand there in danger"

Chang Lingyun stood in the direction of the cliff not far behind Wu Ruoyun and shouted at Wu Ruoyun. After shouting, he quickly rushed to Wu Ruoyun's side, and then pulled Wu Ruoyun to a safe area; Wu Ruoyun pulled it hard Kai Chang Lingyun took her hand and said

"Why are you here, don't you want to marry me?"

"Who said I don't want to marry you, we are so in love with each other, it's too late for me to marry you"

"Then why did you reject my adoptive father's good intention of betrothing me to you at the banquet? Do you know how embarrassing it would be for me? If you don't love me, just say it, why cheat my feelings?"

Although Wu Ruoyun's words were a bit extreme, Chang Lingyun didn't take her words to heart, but patiently explained to her the reasons and difficulties why he didn't want to get married so soon

"I didn't deceive your feelings, Ruoyun, you have to believe me, I really love you, we've been together for so long, don't you understand my feelings for you? The reason why I I don’t want to get married so early because I am concerned about national affairs. I don’t want to affect national affairs because of personal affairs. To revitalize Daming and guard the Daming country for my ancestor Chang Yuchun is my long-cherished wish in my life. The day is when I marry you"

"But when will that wait? It takes a country to become prosperous and strong in as little as 20 years or a hundred years. Do you think we can wait that long? Besides, after we get married, you can still What's wrong with dealing with national affairs"

"Ruoyun, things are not as simple as you think. The current Ming Dynasty has been devastated by the demon world, and people's livelihood has been withered. It needs a leader to lead by example and set a good example of revitalizing the river and mountains, and this example is Me, if I marry you at this time, then people in the world will say that I, Chang Lingyun, only care about the personal affairs of my children and don’t care about national affairs; if this is the case, then there will be more officials in my Ming Dynasty who focus on personal affairs. , regardless of national affairs; the so-called state can have a family, no country can come from a family, as a senior official of the Ming Dynasty, I should focus on state affairs and set a good example for other officials.”

After finishing speaking, Chang Lingyun looked at Wu Ruoyun's big, charming eyes like black gems seriously, and then said to her

"Ruoyun, I promise you that in six years with my strategy of governing the country, I will be able to regain my former glory; by then, I will marry you beautifully, you have to believe me "

After listening to Chang Lingyun's words, Wu Ruoyun turned her back to Chang Lingyun and said with a smile and coquettishness

"Alright, alright, I know I can't tell you; just focus on dealing with your country's affairs, we women, it's such a hard life, you always let you men take care of your children's personal affairs, Forget it"

At this time, Chang Lingyun gently hugged Wu Ruoyun's body from behind and said

"Don't worry, Ruoyun, six years later, my Ming Dynasty will usher in the glory of the past, and then I will marry you; since we both love each other deeply, it doesn't matter if we get married in a few years, You have to believe me, I only have you in my heart"

After listening to Chang Lingyun's words, Wu Ruoyun leaned against Chang Lingyun's arms like a deer and said softly

"If the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening"

At this moment, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Wang Sen and the deputy leader, Xu Hongru, brought people from the three gangs and four sects and a few other sects from a direction not far away; when Chang Lingyun and Wu Ruoyun saw this, Very embarrassed, he let go of the other party; when the leader Wang and the others approached, Wang Sen took the initiative to ask his righteous daughter Wu Ruoyun

"Ruoyun, why did you come here? It's dangerous here. What if the strong wind blows it from the cliff into the sea"

At this time, Chang Lingyun said to Wang Sen

"Master Wang, you don't have to worry about this, I will protect her"

Wang Sen squinted his glasses and looked at Chang Lingyun for a while, deliberately not giving him a good face, and said angrily

"It's all my fault that you didn't agree to marry my daughter, and let her run to such a dangerous place. If my daughter has any problems, I'll ask you"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and said to Wu Ruoyun

"Ruoyun, you don't have to worry, the adoptive father must promise you to betrothed to Chang Lingyun today"

Before Wu Ruoyun explained the situation to him, Wang Sen rudely pointed to Chang Lingyun's face and said

"You stinky boy, you don't want to marry my daughter, right? Let me tell you, you have to marry my daughter today. If you refuse again, you won't give me Wang Sen face. Since you don't give me face I will not accept your imperial court's move to turn against you."

Wang Sen loves his righteous daughter very much. For the sake of her daughter's life, he is willing to risk it even if he does not accept the court's recruitment and bears the crime of repeating the court; however, at this time, his righteous daughter Wu Ruoyun let go He pointed at the arm of Chang Lingyun's nose and said

"Foster father, don't be angry. Big Brother Chang did this for his own reasons. He is now the chief assistant of the Ming Cabinet and is responsible for national security. He needs to set an example for other ministers in the court. If they get married at this time, then the world will be He will say that he only cares about his children's personal interests and does not care about national affairs; if this is the case, then I will have more officials in Ming Dynasty to follow suit, and who will concentrate on governing the country at that time?"

After listening to Wu Ruoyun's words, Wang Sen quickly understood, he said suddenly

"So that's what it is"

After a while, he realized his gaffe

"I'm so sorry, Chang Shaoxia, it was just a misunderstanding, please forgive me"

Chang Lingyun didn't take Wang Sen's unreasonable attitude towards him at all, he arched his arms and said calmly to Wang Sen

"Sect Master Wang, you are serious. The sect master loves her daughter very much. The rudeness just now is understandable"

"Chang Shaoxia is really open-minded, then please let Chang Shaoxia return to the main altar, and we will continue to enjoy the wine to the fullest"

"Good, good"

After a while, Chang Lingyun and Wu Ruoyun returned to the main altar with all the people who were enjoying the banquet led by Wang Sen, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and continued to enjoy the cheerful and lively atmosphere of the banquet

Wang Sen sat on the stage and raised his glass to Chang Lingyun who was sitting under the stage

"Chang Shaoxia, I was very rude just now. This cup is my drink to accompany you. I'll do it first."

After speaking, Wang Sen took the lead to finish the wine in the glass

"The king is very polite"

After Chang Lingyun finished speaking, he also drank the wine in the glass; after the two of them finished drinking one after another, Chang Lingyun said

"Master Wang, since you have already surrendered to the imperial court, I hope you can concentrate on serving the imperial court in the future"

"Don't worry, Chang Shaoxia; since I, Wang Sen, have surrendered to the imperial court, I will do my best to serve the imperial court in the future"

After speaking, he asked Chang Lingyun a question

"By the way, Chang Shaoxia, in addition to recruiting our White Lotus Sect, you seem to have other things to do when you come to our Lotus Mountain this time."

After listening to Wang Sen's words, Chang Lingyun told the truth

"That's right, Master Wang, this time, besides coming here to recruit your White Lotus Sect, I have an important thing I want to ask you to do for a favor"

"What's the matter? Chang Shaoxia might as well say it straight, as long as I can help Wang Sen, I will do my best"

After listening to Wang Sen's words, Chang Lingyun said another thing he had to do

"The thing is like this, the emperor just issued an edict to abolish the sea ban and decided to open trade ports in the coastal area, and you have just asked the emperor to appoint the prefect of Fujian and Guangdong to govern the southern region, so I want you to be in the coastal area of ​​Fujian, Guangdong, and Fujian. Open trading ports to purchase and introduce foreign food that is convenient to solve the food crisis of the imperial court”

After listening to Chang Lingyun's words, Wang Sen agreed

"Chang Shaoxia, don't worry, this is no problem, it's on me, as long as I find Western food that can be used to solve the food crisis, I will definitely report it to you"

"Well, this could not be better. Now the war in North Korea is becoming increasingly tense, and the war with the Japanese pirates is in a stalemate. The food that the soldiers need to supply is also increasingly scarce, and the land in the south is fertile and easy to grow. I have just been hit hard by the demon world, and my vitality has been severely damaged. It takes a long time to restore the economy. Solving the food problem and restoring agricultural production is the first step for the imperial court to develop the economy, and this is up to you.”

"Don't worry about this, I, Wang Sen, will definitely do it well, may I ask Chang Shaoxia? Is there anything else besides this?"

Chang Lingyun nodded and replied

"Well, yes, I want you to help me prepare a boat, I have a secret order from the emperor to visit Annan"

Two days later, Chang Lingyun and Wu Ruoyun, as well as several accompanying officials and guards, boarded the big boat bound for Annan with the farewell of the leader Wang Sen; After staying there for too long, he walked out of the cabin and stood on the bow deck to look up at the starry sky and enjoy the beauty of the night sky; suddenly, a sea breeze blew from the right side of the deck, freezing Wu Ruoyun's body to the point of shivering. She hugged her arms like a conditioned reflex to resist the cold wind's stimulation on her body; at this time, a cloak suddenly draped over her body, she quickly turned her head and saw that Chang Lingyun was standing at this moment. behind her

"Why is the weather so cold suddenly standing alone on the deck, put on this now"

After Chang Lingyun finished speaking, she walked up to her and said with her back to her

"Are you thinking about something?"

Wu Ruoyun tightly clasped the cloak that Chang Lingyun put on her and said

"I'm thinking about Miss Chen Xiangyue. Ever since she was rescued by her adoptive father, Zhu Yunwen, King of Wan Yao Kingdom, I don't know how she's doing now?"

After listening to Wu Ruoyun's words, Chang Lingyun replied

"Don't worry, she is the righteous daughter of Zhu Yunwen, the king of Wan Yao Kingdom, and Zhu Yunwen will definitely try his best to heal her internal injuries"

"Brother Lingyun, do you know that Miss Xiangyue was hurt to avenge you?"

After listening to Wu Ruoyun's words, Chang Lingyun nodded and said lightly

"I know that"

"Then do you know why she did that?"

"I know this too"

At this time, Chang Lingyun has gradually understood what she wants to express from Wu Ruoyun's two questions

"Ruoyun, you don't need to ask anymore, I know what you're going to say. In fact, I have always regarded Chen Xiangyue as a younger sister. In my heart, only you are my favorite in Chang Lingyun's life. people”

"Brother Lingyun, I believe that you are sincere to me, I just think that Miss Chen Xiangyue has given you too much love, but the man she loves in her heart does not have her, but she is still Such persistence"

After speaking, she pointed to the brightest star in the night sky and continued

"Like the brightest star in the night sky, it seems to be shining for the moon, but the moon doesn't know it at all, because the moon already has another star in its heart"

After listening to Wu Ruoyun's words, Chang Lingyun hugged Wu Ruoyun tightly in his arms, lowered his head and looked at Wu Ruoyun's eyes seriously with his deep eyes and said

“It is enough to remember only one of the stars in the sky, and it is enough for the old mother in the world to fall in love with only one, no matter who the brightest star shines for, the moon’s The heart can only hold the next star"

After speaking, he quickly let go of Wu Ruoyun and then said to her

"Ruoyun, the night wind is strong outside, let's go back to the boathouse and rest"

At this moment, Wu Ruoyun's heart still cares about Chen Xiangyue

"I hope Miss Xiangyue is safe and sound, and hope that her body will recover soon"

After listening to Wu Ruoyun's words, Chang Lingyun was very moved and said

"Ruoyun, your heart is as pure and kind as an animal, and you care so much about a girl like Chen Xiangyue who also loves me"

As soon as Chang Lingyun finished speaking, the universal mirror he put in his pocket suddenly rang; when he took out the universal mirror, it turned out that it was the signal sent to him by the senior brother Xu Changqing; So he pointed at the Wanyong Qiankun Mirror and shouted "answer" and the mirror immediately showed Xu Changqing himself. Through the Wanyong Qiankun Mirror, Chang Lingyun saw that Xu Changqing was sitting on a chair holding The universal mirror is talking to himself

"Senior Brother Xu, what are you doing? You look so laid back and comfortable when you are sitting on the chair"

After speaking, Chang Lingyun hurriedly laughed; while Xu Changqing saw Wu Ruoyun standing beside Chang Lingyun through the universal mirror

"Junior brother, you are also very leisurely and comfortable, and you are having a romantic relationship with Miss Wu again"

After listening to Xu Changqing's words, Wu Ruoyun quickly stepped aside shyly

"Senior brother, what you said directly scared the girl Wu away"

"Hahaha, Miss Wu treats you well, you have to cherish it; Junior Brother, how do you feel about staying by the emperor's side these days?"

"Well, it feels pretty good; it's my honor to serve in the imperial court, and now I need to restore my national strength. I've just been appointed by the emperor as the chief assistant of the cabinet. I'm running around for the country's affairs. Now, on the emperor's secret order, we rush to Annan by boat"

"Oh, junior brother, that's really fortunate for you"

"Senior brother, why don't you call me so late?"

"Master wants me to give this book to you, and I will send this book to you later"

Chang Lingyun looked at the book Xu Changqing placed in front of him in the mirror and said

"Shushan internal training method?"

"Yes, the name of this book is "Shushan Nei Gong Xin Dharma" and it was given to you by the master; the master said that after six years, the demon world will make a comeback, and by then the power of Boduojin will be greatly increased, Master asks you to diligently practice this internal work method to improve your power.”

"What? You say Potokin is coming back in six years?"

"That's right, Junior Brother, so you must practice diligently. You must not forget to practice because you are dealing with things in the human world. This is what Master asked me to tell you"

"Learn about Senior Brother, I will practice diligently and tell Master on my behalf"

"Okay, I'll teleport the book to you now"

When the brothers and sisters said this, they stopped talking. Chang Lingyun quickly retracted the Universal Universe Mirror into his pocket. At this moment, Chang Lingyun saw six golden lights appear in front of him. The six golden lights suddenly concentrated into a circle of light and then turned into a book and appeared in his hand. Ling Yun picked up the book and looked at the cover of the book, and it really read the six characters "Shushan Nei Gongxinfa"

"It turns out that this is the inner strength method that my brother sent to me with magic power"

After speaking, he suddenly remembered what his senior brother Xu Changqing said to him just now

"Master said that after six years, the demon world will make a comeback. At that time, Potokin's skills will be greatly increased. Master asks you to diligently cultivate this internal training method to improve your skills"

Chang Lingyun thought to himself: Since Master can know about five hundred years before and after, presumably what he predicted this time is definitely not wrong; said the starry sky

"Since Boduojin is going to make a comeback in six years, I must manage Daming well in these six years; Master, you can rest assured that I will never forget your instructions, and I will work hard to improve my skills. , waiting for the second fight with Potokin"

After about half a month's voyage, the fleet led by Chang Lingyun finally successfully arrived in Annan. In Annan, under the introduction of officials and ministers of Annan, Chang Lingyun came to the palace of Annan to see the king of Annan sitting on the throne; at this time, Annan had entered the period of the reign of the Later Li Dynasty; A few months ago, the Hou Li Dynasty destroyed the Mo Dynasty, causing the Annan Kingdom to split into two parts, the north and the south. The actual power of the king is completely controlled by Zheng Song, the representative of the Zheng family. A few days ago, after Zheng Song learned that the internal chaos of the Ming Dynasty had caused a great loss of national strength, he did not put the status of the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain state. In his eyes, he only wanted to make Annan independent and break away from Zongfan relations with the Ming Dynasty; Zheng Song did not take Chang Lingyun seriously for Chang Lingyun's visit to Annan as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty; At this time, Zheng Song was sitting next to Li Weitan, the king of Annan, and met Chang Lingyun, an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, together with the king of Annan.

"Ambassador Chang Lingyun met the king of Annan"

After Chang Lingyun finished speaking, he arched his arms and bent over with Chinese manners and bowed to the king of Annan. ask

"Envoy of the Ming Dynasty, why don't you kneel when you see our king"

Chang Lingyun arched his arms and replied

"Annan is a vassal state of my Daming. According to the agreement between Annan and my Daming, the envoys of Daming do not need to kneel when they see the king of Annan"

After listening to Chang Lingyun's words, Zheng Song said loudly

"But this is the Annan Kingdom, not the Ming Dynasty. Since you come to our Annan Kingdom, you must abide by our Annan Kingdom's rules"

And Chang Lingyun did not show weakness. In the face of the arrogant and domineering attitude of the ruler of Annan, he still defended the dignity and prestige of the Ming Dynasty

"But the Annan Kingdom is a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty. Only you, the envoys of the Annan Kingdom, knelt down to my Emperor Daming. I have never heard of the reason why our envoys of the Ming Dynasty knelt down to your King of Annan Kingdom"

"Hahahaha, well said, well said"

After Zheng Song finished speaking, he stood up from his seat with a slap and continued to say

"But as far as I know, your Ming Dynasty suffered a coup d'etat some time ago that left your life devastated and the people were struggling. In my opinion, the Ming Dynasty has run out of gas; my Annan Kingdom no longer needs to go to a dying man. The country bows its head and becomes a minister; starting from today, our Annan Kingdom will follow the example of Japan and stand on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty, and break away from the relationship between Zongfan and your Ming Dynasty.”

After listening to Zheng Song's words, Chang Lingyun was not angry at all, but was amused by the arrogance and ignorance of this Annan ruler

"Hahaha, isn't it? You're still well informed, but you seem to have forgotten another thing"

Zheng Song quickly turned around and asked Chang Lingyun

"What's the matter?"

"Although our Ming Dynasty was severely damaged by the coup d'état some time ago, the coup d'état has now ended; our emperor of the Ming Dynasty has now decided to make every effort to reinvigorate the government, restore health and restore national strength, and still have the ability to be you. The suzerain state, your Annan Kingdom has been loyal to our Chinese Empire since the founding of the state, and you want to break away from the suzerainty relationship with our Chinese Empire, you do not have such ability now.”

"Hahaha, a joke; as far as I know, it will take at least decades to restore a country's national strength. When you restore national strength, the Annan Kingdom ruled by our Zheng family will probably dominate. On the one hand, when the time comes, the West Guangdong, East Guangdong, and Hainan of your Ming Dynasty will belong to our Annan Kingdom.”

After listening to Zheng Song's words, Chang Lingyun angrily stared at Zheng Song's eyes and roared

"You bastard, you dare to conspire against me in the Ming Dynasty, you are so arrogant"

At this time, Zheng Song stood in front of Chang Lingyun and said with his back to Chang Lingyun

"What's wrong? Thinking back then, the area under the control of the Nanyue King Zhao Tuo with your capital in Panyu, Guangdong included your current Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan areas. It can be seen that these three areas should have belonged to us. Nanguo, the Annan kingdom ruled by the Zheng family is now strong and strong, and it will be a matter of time before we unify the south to eliminate the Ruan clan. If you, Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, agree that our Annan kingdom will be independent from the Zong-Fan relationship, we can no longer covet your country of the Ming Dynasty. "

Chang Lingyun saw how arrogant the Annan ruler in front of him was, so he decided to use force to show him some color, so that he would know what the sky is high and the earth is thick

"You arrogant man in the small Annan country, I'm going to teach you a good lesson for Emperor Daming"

After speaking, Chang Lingyun concentrated his inner strength and used thunderous footwork to appear around Zheng Song like a gust of wind. Before Zheng Song had time to react, he gave Zheng Song a loud slap in the face and sent Zheng Song Shot down to the ground, Zheng Song lay in a dreadful place, covering his face with a mark after being slapped by Chang Lingyun, and ordered to his guards

"I'm here, grab this arrogant and unreasonable envoy of the Ming Dynasty and behead him for the public"

But those guards were not Chang Lingyun's opponents at all. Before they rushed forward to catch Chang Lingyun alive, Chang Lingyun hit the acupoints on the body of the dozen guards like lightning; soon , the dozen or so guards became immobile like statues; this scene made Zheng Song, who had been lying on the ground with his face covered, quickly dumbfounded. Lingyun said

"Unexpectedly, Da... Da Ming... Da Ming Dynasty still has such a talented person"

Chang Lingyun turned around after cleaning up the dozen guards and said to Zheng Song

"There are so many talented people like me in the Ming Dynasty. It's just wishful thinking that you want to conspire against my country in the Ming Dynasty."

After he finished speaking, he walked up to Zheng Song, who was looking at him in horror and asked

"You...what else do you want?"

Chang Lingyun grabbed Zheng Song's collar and stared at Zheng Song angrily.

"If I were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I would have chopped off your head for your rebellious words today"

After finishing speaking, he loosened Zheng Song's collar and continued to say

"My Ming Dynasty should be the suzerain of your Annan Kingdom no matter what. Your Annan Kingdom has enjoyed the heavenly grace of my Ming Dynasty from generation to generation. How can it be broken if you want to?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the ambassador is right, the villain was confused just now, please forgive me the ambassador of Ming Dynasty"

After speaking, Zheng Song ordered to his guards

"Let the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty sit down"

After Chang Lingyun used a trick of acupuncture to unlock the acupoints for the dozen guards, the two guards lifted a wooden bench for Chang Lingyun to sit on; and Zheng Song was already at this moment. Returning to his seat, his attitude has changed almost 360 degrees compared to the arrogant and domineering attitude before. It seems that he has been completely frightened by our hero Chang Lingyun

"Excuse me, Ambassador of the Ming Dynasty, what do you mean by sending me an emissary from the Annan Kingdom from thousands of miles away?"

"I am dispatching your Annan Kingdom to make a deal with your Annan Kingdom at the will of my emperor of the Ming Dynasty"

At this time, the king of Annan Kingdom, Li Weitan, who had been silent on the dragon chair, finally spoke up

"Excuse me, envoy, what is the deal"

"I want you from Annan to provide us with some of the Ming Dynasty

Champaign rice, Champa rice has been introduced to my country as early as the Song Dynasty, and it has a history of hundreds of years; people in the south of our country have long cultivated this kind of rice. Due to the coup d'état in 2008, the people in the world are in chaos, and it is urgent that you provide some Champa rice and rice seeds from Annan to make up for the food problem and stabilize the people's hearts."

"Oh, that's right; there is no problem with this. I have abundant rice production in Champaign of Annan, which can help the Ming Dynasty solve the urgent need of the food crisis. There is no problem at all"

Chang Lingyun was very happy when he saw the king of Annan's answer so readily, but he knew in his heart that there was no such thing in the world

Free transaction, if you want to make a good transaction, you often need to pay the corresponding reward

"I didn't expect the King of Annan to be so generous. I would like to express my gratitude to the thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty for the enthusiastic help of the King of Annan; but I know that your food must not be given in vain. If the King of Annan wants I will do my best to help you, and I will do my best to give you the corresponding rewards"

After listening to Chang Lingyun's words, the king of Annan did not speak, because he knew in his heart that he had no actual rights in Annan, so he looked at Zheng Song who was sitting beside him and wanted to hear him After seeing the sign of the King of Annan, Zheng Song said

"The ambassador of Daming is really straightforward, I really want to ask Daming to do us a favor"

"What are you doing?"

"I think envoy, you should have heard about our domestic affairs in Annan. Our Houli Dynasty just destroyed the Mo Dynasty, which split our Annan country into two parts. Except our Zheng family controls the south, The Ruan family headed by Ruan Gan also controls half of the Annan kingdom and tries to split our Annan kingdom, so I would like to ask the suzerain Daming to support our Zheng family's dominance in Annan, so as to eliminate the Ruan clan in the south and maintain the country's integrity. Unity"

"There is no problem with this, as long as your Zheng family is willing to provide us with Champa rice seeds and rice on behalf of the Annan Kingdom to relieve our urgent needs, I will definitely ask the Daming Emperor Wanli to support your Zheng family's dominance in the Annan Kingdom. "

After listening to Chang Lingyun's words, Zheng Song said with great joy

"Then there will be an envoy Lao Daming, and our Annan Kingdom will always be loyal to the Daming Dynasty"

After the agreement with Annan was reached, Chang Lingyun's trip to Annan finally ended successfully; after the visit to Annan, Chang Lingyun, Wu Ruoyun and others were escorted by the king of Annan and Zheng Song Some accompanying Ming officials took the treasures that the king of Annan had paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty and left the territory of Annan by boat. Soon after, they arrived in Guangxi Province, the territory of the Ming Dynasty. After half a month, they returned to the capital.

When they returned to the capital, the **** Zhang Hong, who was in charge of welcoming them, and some young eunuchs walked to Chang Lingyun and saluted them

"Congratulations to Mr. Chang, the first assistant of the cabinet. The servants are here specially to welcome you, Mr. Chang, on the order of the emperor"

When Zhang Hong spoke, his voice was yin and yang, which made Chang Lingyun feel a little uncomfortable; but he still reluctantly endured it, because he knew that eunuch's voice was like this

"Okay, got it, take me to see the emperor, I have something to report"

"Yes, my lord, the emperor is waiting for you in the imperial garden, please come with me"

After Zhang Hong finished speaking, he brought Chang Lingyun and Wu Ruoyun to the Imperial Garden and saw the Wanli Emperor who was blindfolded and playing hide-and-seek with his concubines in the Imperial Garden

"Your Majesty, the chief minister of the cabinet, Chang Lingyun, asks for a meeting"

The **** Zhang Hong shouted to Emperor Wanli, but Emperor Wanli was still having fun and didn't care about Zhang Hong's shouting. He blindfolded and grabbed the several concubines who were running in front of him. Shouting like this in the mouth

"Haha, be careful, don't get caught by me, I will punish you for sleeping with me tonight"

While the concubines were running like children, they acted like a spoiled child and answered naughty

"Haha, the emperor, you come to catch me, come, after you catch me, I will serve the emperor tonight"

When Emperor Wanli was about to catch one of the concubines, the concubine suddenly ran behind Wu Ruoyun and hid. When Emperor Wanli wanted to catch the concubine, he did not expect to catch the concubine by mistake. Wu Ruoyun

"Haha, catch you, today I will let you sleep with me tonight"

When Emperor Wanli tore off his blindfold to see which concubine he had caught, he realized that the woman he had caught was not the concubine beside him, but the concubine of his late teacher Zhang Juzheng. The youngest daughter Wu Ruoyun; when Wu Ruoyun saw this situation, he quickly knelt down and said

"Wu Ruoyun met the emperor, and he accidentally affected Yaxing when the emperor was having fun. I hope the emperor forgives his sins"

Emperor Wanli is seriously looking at this peerless beauty kneeling in front of him at this moment. His heart is once again deeply attracted by Wu Ruoyun's charming appearance. This is the third time he has seen this beautiful woman in front of him. His heart is completely seduced by the peerless beauty, and an impulse to take her as his own arises spontaneously

"No ceremony, no ceremony, I just treated you unreasonably and treated you as my concubine, I'm really sorry"

After he finished speaking, he rudely shoved away the concubines who played hide-and-seek with him just now, and those concubines all left in disappointment; after all those concubines left, Chang Lingyun cupped his hands say to the emperor

"Your Majesty, please focus on state affairs and don't play with those concubines all day long"

After listening to Chang Lingyun's words, Emperor Wanli said absentmindedly

"I know, I know, I won't play with these concubines in the future"

After speaking, Emperor Wanli invited Chang Lingyun and Wu Ruoyun to a pavilion in the imperial garden, and after the three sat down in the pavilion, he said

"I actually knew that you had something to come to see me today, so I was waiting for you here in the Imperial Garden. If you have something to report to me, just tell me"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

As a result, Chang Lingyun reported in detail to the Wanli Emperor all these days about going to Lotus Mountain to recruit the White Lotus Sect and sending envoys to the Annan Kingdom; The memorial was presented to Emperor Wanli, who appreciated it after reading the memorial

"Okay, okay, since Zheng Song, the official minister of Annam, has promised to submit to me, then I will help the Zheng family to unify Annam; firstly, it can solve the food crisis in Daming, and secondly, I can use Annam to contain Burma in the west, Burma has repeatedly invaded our Yunnan border, all of which have been defeated by our Daming army; now we have just experienced the chaos of the demon world, which has damaged our vitality. Burma is bound to take advantage of it. The southern countries formed an alliance to deal with Myanmar together; Chang Lingyun, you have done a really good job, you really lived up to the entrustment of His Royal Highness King Zheng, I have chosen the right person this time.”

After listening to Emperor Wanli's words, Chang Lingyun hurriedly handed over and replied

"The emperor has won awards, and the success of Weichen is entirely due to the emperor's trust in Weichen and the emperor's wise decision-making, while Weichen is just following orders"

When Emperor Wanli heard this modest remark from Chang Lingyun, he laughed

"Hahaha, you are so humble and low-key, it reminds me of your father Chang Le; after your father passed the exam, I wanted your father to enter the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor's degree, but I didn't expect your father to leave If you don't do such a big official, you have to be a small county magistrate in Huangzhou Prefecture, and you say that you are doing things for the people in your hometown; after listening to your father's words, I was deeply moved and agreed to your father's request. And now you are I have done so many things for me, but I don’t take credit for it, and I take all the credit for you. If my current officials in Daming are like you, then I will revive the foundation of Daming Jiangshan just around the corner.”

"Don't worry, the emperor, Wei Chen will definitely help the emperor to realize this wish"

"Hahaha, good, good, good"

Emperor Wanli smiled and patted Chang Lingyun on the shoulder, saying this

"It is my honor to have such a loyal minister as you"

After saying this, Emperor Wanli suddenly thought of something

"By the way, I have something else I want to ask you to do"

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"I want you to teach the prince to read and write in your spare time, what do you think? I think you are a talent in governing the country. You might as well pass on your ability to govern the country to the prince, so that I can make plans for the future of Ming Dynasty. "

After listening to the words of Emperor Wanli, Chang Lingyun hesitated for a moment in his mind, thinking that as the chief assistant of the cabinet, because of the increasingly busy national affairs, he may not have much time to teach the prince to read and write. Some difficulties

"Your Majesty, because Wei Chen is usually busy with state affairs, he has no spare time to teach the Prince to read and write. I'm afraid he will fail the Emperor's grace"

"Oh, so, then I will send..."

When Emperor Wanli was still considering who would teach the prince to read and write, Wu Ruoyun spoke at this time

"Your Majesty, let me teach the prince to read and write"

Wu Ruoyun's words surprised Chang Lingyun for a while. After standing there for a while, he asked.

"Ruoyun, what did you say? You want to teach the prince to read?"

Wu Ruoyun replied with a smile

"Yes, my father Zhang Juzheng was the emperor's teacher, now it's my turn to be a teacher to the current prince"

"But can you do it?"

"Why can't I? My father taught me to read and write since I was a child, as well as some famous sayings about running a country. When I was six years old, I would recite "Tang Poems" and "The Analects of Confucius"

After listening to Wu Ruoyun's words, Emperor Wanli praised repeatedly

"Miss Wu is really a talented girl. If that's the case, then let's have Miss Wu teach the prince to read and write"

Wu Ruoyun knelt down on one knee at this time, then arched his arms and said to Emperor Wanli

"Thank you for your trust in me, I will definitely teach the prince to read and write"

"No gift, no gift, no gift"

After the Wanli Emperor finished speaking, he pulled Wu Ruoyun, who was kneeling on one knee, from the ground and said to her

"If this is the case, then Miss Ruoyun will stay in the palace to do things for me. I will give you a room right away, and you will live there from now on"

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

However, Wu Ruoyun's actions made Chang Lingyun's face have a worried expression; that night, in the imperial garden of the palace, Chang Lingyun was walking with Wu Ruoyun, when the two came to the imperial palace. In a corridor in the garden, Chang Lingyun asked Wu Ruoyun

"Xiao Qi, why did you promise the emperor to teach the prince to read and write? Do you know what this means? The palace is full of crises, how can you, a girl, stay in this kind of place for a long time?"

"Brother Lingyun, since you can serve the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly, I believe you can; His Royal Highness will soon become the future emperor, and I will teach the prince to read, write and govern the country well. A wise man, wouldn't it be better?"

"It's good, it's good, but a place like the palace is very complicated. There are intriguing people in this palace. If you are involved in a political turmoil, you will have the worry of your life. Busy can't protect you by your side. When my master was leaving, he once told me that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. If something happens to you in the palace, what should I do?"

After finishing speaking, Chang Lingyun turned around and took Wu Ruoyun's hands, looked at Wu Ruoyun's eyes seriously and said to her

"Xiaoqi, you should stay with me, let me take good care of you, I'm really worried about you staying alone in the palace"

Wu Ruoyun gently let go of Chang Lingyun, took her hands and said softly

"Brother Lingyun, don't worry, I just teach the prince to read and do nothing else. Some people in the palace won't treat me like that. Besides, I'm Zhang Juzheng's daughter. The emperor respects my father. My prestige will definitely protect me, you can rest assured"

It seems that Wu Ruoyun insisted on staying in the palace; Chang Lingyun saw that she insisted on staying in the palace, so he decided to respect her wishes and no longer persuade and block her

"Okay, since you insist on staying in the palace, I won't stop you any more; but you have to remember that you have to be careful about everything in your life in the palace, it's best to be less with those palace maids and concubines Let's talk, you know?"

"Don't worry, Brother Lingyun, I will know how to take care of myself"

Three days later, Emperor Wanli sent envoys to Annan to confer Li Weitan the king of Annan, and Zheng Song to be the Great General Protector of Annan, officially acknowledging the Zheng family's dominance in Annan, headed by Zheng Song, and Allied with the Annam Kingdom to deal with Burma together; after accepting the canonization of the Daming envoy, in order to thank the Emperor Daming for his grace, Zheng Song ordered a large amount of Chamcheng rice to be exported to the Ming Dynasty. With the help of some agricultural experts sent by Lingyun, he started to cultivate rice in Champaign. A year later, the food crisis in the southern region has been basically resolved, and the food productivity in the Jiangnan region has returned to the level before the Rebellion of the Demon Realm; on the other hand, due to the abolition of the sea ban policy, sweet potatoes in the Americas have passed through Fujian overseas Chinese Chen Zhenlong. It was introduced into the Ming Dynasty via Luzon, and was extended to all parts of the country, solving the drought and famine that occurred in the northern region a few days ago; with the introduction of sweet potatoes in China, corn and peppers from the Americas were also introduced by sea. China; with the resolution of food production problems, Chang Lingyun began to focus on developing the trade, politics and economy of the Ming Dynasty. He advocated the use of machine shovels instead of manual production of silk and cloth to improve the speed and efficiency of production products, and then produced silk, pottery He and cloth were sold at open trading ports, which made overseas silver and gold flow into China in large quantities, making people's lives richer; economically, he encouraged businessmen from Fujian and Guangdong to go abroad to do business in Nanyang to develop the Ming Dynasty. The economy in the Nanyang region allowed the development and dissemination of Chinese technology and culture in the Nanyang region, so that businessmen from the Nanyang region came to China by boat to learn Chinese technology, and the Ming Dynasty and the economy of the Nanyang region were closely linked. Politically, he completely restored the political system of Zhang Juzheng's reform period. With the restoration, improvement and implementation of the Kaocheng Law and the One Whip Law system, the number of corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty continued to decrease, and the tax burden of the people was greatly reduced; three years After that, the Ming Dynasty began to show signs of ZTE again, and the comprehensive national strength was constantly improving with a series of reasonable measures implemented by Chang Lingyun, a reformer. Formed, the Wanli Dynasty is about to usher in its second prosperous age.
