    Rubbing his swollen forehead, Emperor Tianqi put down the memorial in his hand. As an emperor, Emperor Tianqi's first reaction was that he was tired.  He was so tired that he read the memorial in the imperial study and then fell asleep from exhaustion. This was a habit that Emperor Tianqi had become accustomed to.  However, many people are worried. Recently, the Queen Mother comes here a lot more frequently, and every time she brings supplements, most of which are tonify the kidneys and strengthen yang.  This made Emperor Tianqi very embarrassed and helpless at the same time.  A more considerate minister got the news from the eunuch and thought that Emperor Tianqi was disgusted with his harem.  For a time, many ministers submitted memorials, hoping that Emperor Tianqi would draft women to enrich his harem.  Emperor Tianqi was even more dumbfounded by such a memorial.  Seeing the resentful eyes of the concubines in the harem, Emperor Tianqi was also very helpless.  Make up your mind to settle things quickly tonight and go to bed early.  After taking a sip of tea, Emperor Tianqi once again focused his attention on the memorial in front of him, with a heavy look of fatigue on his face.  But soon he was attracted by a memorial. This was a memorial from the Ministry of Rites. The content was very simple, that is, the Great Frankie people had arrived in the capital!  People in this era have their own names for the Spaniards and Portuguese. As for what they call themselves, that is not important.  Ming Dynasty is the Kingdom of Heaven, and you will be whatever you are called.  Just like the Japanese, in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, they will always be Japanese.  The Spaniards are the Big Franchis, the Portuguese are the Little Franchis!  As for the Dutch, they are simply the Red Barbarians.  The Hongyi cannon is the Ming Dynasty's imitation of the Dutch artillery.  As for the countries in Europe, the Ming Dynasty all had a unified name, that is, the Far West Barbarians.  This matter is what Emperor Tianqi is more worried about. Emperor Tianqi has already made plans and has a case in mind.  Although the Portuguese have been on the books several times, Emperor Tianqi has always ignored them, but now it's time to pay attention.  For Emperor Tianqi, interests are the most important thing.  "Your Majesty. It's getting late, so let's go to bed early!" Wang Chengen walked to Emperor Tianqi's side, looked at Emperor Tianqi carefully, and said respectfully.  The expression on his face was very tangled, obviously done on purpose.  Emperor Tianqi naturally knew Wang Chengen well enough to see him make that expression.  He laughed and scolded: "As people get older, they become cunning. If you have anything to say, you need to disgust me here. If you are making that kind of expression, I will let you read the memorial here." Wang Chengen quickly put away that expression and smiled.  Looking at Emperor Tianqi.  Said: "Nu Bei's thoughts can never be hidden from the Emperor!" Seeing Emperor Tianqi put down the memorial in his hand, he quickly continued: "Your Majesty, the Queen has sent people here four times. Your Majesty, you should go and rest! The world is like this  Damn, things happen every day, and things cannot be solved in one day. The emperor must take good care of the dragon body in order to better manage the country of Ming Dynasty!" Emperor Tianqi gave Wang Chengen a hard look and said a little helplessly.  "Did the Queen ask you to say these words?" Standing there awkwardly, Wang Chengen could only nod his head, and at the same time secretly glanced at Emperor Tianqi to indicate that there was someone outside.  From what Wang Chengen said just now, Emperor Tianqi knew that Queen Zhang was coming, and she must be standing outside the door at this time.  Nowadays, there are many voices praising Queen Zhang in the court, and she is called a wise queen.  Emperor Tianqi is approving the memorial.  She rarely comes in anymore.  Slowly standing up and stretching a lot, Emperor Tianqi walked to Wang Chengen's side, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's really hard for you!" "I'll kill this old slave, this is  What a blessing for this slave!" Wang Chengen quickly bowed down and said with a smile.  Being able to make the emperor and queen trust him so much.  Wang Chengen was naturally extremely happy.  "Tomorrow, let your nephew Wang Quan be the official of the Ministry of Etiquette, and negotiate with the Big Frankie and the Little Frankie. I will send Chen Hong there, who is nominally a supervisor, but actually the one who makes the decision. You have to tell you  Brother." Emperor Tianqi seemed to have remembered something and ordered with a serious face.  Wang Chengen quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness! Thank you, Lord for your kindness!" Wang Chengen was very considerate of his nephew, who was the first scholar in the Wang family.  Because Wang Chengen gradually gained power in the court, the Wang family's life became much easier.  This Wang Quan was cultivated through the efforts of the Wang family and can be said to be the hope of the new generation of the Wang family.  Over the years, although Emperor Tianqi has reused eunuchs and royal guards, whether it is Wang Chengen, Chen Hong, or Luo Sigong in the court, their reputations in the court are very good.  Therefore, it was very smooth for Wang Quan to enter the official career. Those who knew about his relationship with Wang Chengen still gave him a lot of care.  In fact, the officials seemed to be at odds with the eunuchs. That was when the emperor and ministers were fighting for power.?, usually, officials still hope to make friends with their chamberlains, because this is a good way to keep their favor.  Just like teaching in the inner study, it has always been a job that Hanlin bachelors compete for.  Signaling Wang Chengen to get up, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "That nephew of yours is not bad. I have been observing it for a while. But he is from a juren family background, so he is a little behind after all. But it doesn't matter, I don't know the family background when I employ people. After this incident  , Let¡¯s go! Whether it¡¯s the magistrate or the magistrate, he can do it, and I will choose a good place.¡± ¡°Yes, Your Majesty!¡± Wang Chengen always felt that Emperor Tianqi had a conspiracy, but this is not good for the Wang family.  Good thing.  Even if it is not a good thing, you must do it yourself. This is the duty of a slave. "Okay, you go and take care of it! I am going out, and I can't let the queen wait outside for too long." Emperor Tianqi said  He waved his hand, not looking at Wang Chengen, and strode outside.  Looking at the arrogant Queen Zhang, Emperor Tianqi shook his head helplessly, strode over, and said with a smile: "When did the emperor come? Why didn't you let someone know?" Queen Zhang didn't seem to hear Tianqi.  After the emperor's words, he bowed to Emperor Tianqi solemnly and said respectfully: "I have met the emperor! The emperor is working on national affairs, and I dare not disturb him. But I am also a woman, waiting here for my man.  , It is also a matter of course. I can't let my righteousness go wrong, so I can only express my longing for her here." Emperor Tianqi felt that he was almost in trouble. It seems that he wanted to appease Queen Zhang.  Easy things.  "Okay, Queen, don't stand here anymore, I'll take you to rest!" Emperor Tianqi emphasized the word "rest", stretched out his hand to hold Queen Zhang's hand, and walked towards Kunning Palace.  Although they were an old couple, Empress Zhang was still a little embarrassed. She tried to pull her hand out several times, but Emperor Tianqi tried very hard and couldn't pull it out.  He had no choice but to lower his head, like a little girl who made a mistake, and followed Emperor Tianqi step by step.  Seeing this scene, Emperor Tianqi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with a happy smile on his face. It seemed that tonight would not be too sad.  The news spread quickly. Although Emperor Tianqi went to rest, no one dared to delay the imperial edict.  Early the next morning, Wang Quan, a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang Wangquan, came to Honglu Temple, and naturally there was also the eunuch Chen Hong.  Chen Hong now has a very high status. After returning from Liaodong, his momentum has been unparalleled.  Wang An, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, is getting old and will probably retire soon. Eunuch Chen is the most promising person to take over.  After all, Emperor Tianqi trusted him very much, which was known to everyone.  Originally, the Wei Dynasty was also a good candidate, but now that the Wei Dynasty is in charge of Dongchang, it is still stretched thin, so naturally it will not put him in the position of the Chief of Ceremonies.  As for Wang Chengen, his relationship with the Wei Dynasty is quite special. Emperor Tianqi will naturally not let them monopolize the ceremonial supervisor. Checks and balances are very important.  At this time, Chen Hong naturally became a very suitable candidate, and he became famous for a while.  Wang Quan is a young man, but he has a different maturity. He is very aware of his current situation, so he is neither humble nor arrogant to Chen Hong around him, making it difficult for people to find fault.  "Eunuch Chen, I wonder if we should meet as envoys from both sides together, or should we choose one of them first?" Wang Quan, who had already received instructions from his uncle, naturally would not make random decisions. He looked at Chen Hong on the side and asked softly.  After glancing at Wang Quan, Chen Hong smiled and said, "The little Frankies have been here for so long, let's meet them first!" Both Wang Quan and Chen Hong knew very well whether  Maybe people from both sides will meet together.  Wang Quan asked this, which naturally established the primary and secondary status of the two people.  In the guest room of Honglu Temple, the Portuguese envoy Riel was walking back and forth. He had lost his former composure.  Ever since the Spaniards arrived in Beijing, he has been thinking about it.  As for Neymar, the atmosphere is very tense at this time and has caused trouble several times.  But the officials of Honglu Temple were very polite and took them around Beijing several times and ate a lot of good food.  But at this time, neither Riel nor Neymar were in the mood to eat.  But things took a turn for the better this morning, because they were notified by Honglu Temple that starting from today, there will be dedicated ministers from the court to contact them.  Of course, he also came into contact with the Spaniards at the same time. As for whom to contact first, Riel was not sure.  In his opinion, which party to contact first actually represents the choice of the Ming Dynasty.  The two people were restless in the room, eagerly waiting for news from outside.  Soon an official from Honglu Temple came in and said to Riel with a smile: "Special envoy, the people sent by the emperor have arrived. They want to see you two. Please prepare yourself!"  exposedWith a smile on his face, he pulled the official and asked, "Are you just seeing the two of us?" The official did not disappoint Riel and nodded with a smile.
