    When Riel walked in, Chen Hong and I, Wang Quan, were already ready here. Wang Quan looked at Riel and Neymar curiously, while Chen Hong held Fu Chen in his arms and closed his eyes to rest.  "Two envoys, these are the imperial envoys sent by the emperor. This is Wang Quan, a member of the Ministry of Rites. This person here is Eunuch Chen, the eunuch of the Bureau of Rites, Bingbi. He is highly valued by the current emperor." Honglu Temple.  The official looked at Chen Hong and Wang Quan and introduced them respectfully.  Riel has lived in Macau for many years and is very familiar with the official positions of the Ming Dynasty. When he heard that the person who received him was just a minister of etiquette, he felt a little unhappy.  However, when he heard that Chen Hongnai was the father-in-law of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, his face suddenly became serious. This was no simple person.  Not only was he a person trusted by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he was also a very powerful person.  "Okay, no more nonsense. The Emperor is waiting for our reply. Let's start now!" Chen Hong slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the Honglu Temple officials who were still talking about it. Chen Hong said expressionlessly.  .  "Yes, Eunuch Chen!" The officials of Honglu Temple naturally did not dare to say anything. They bowed respectfully and bowed out. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A flash of doubt in Riel's mind, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can't seem to be in a hurry.  I've been here for so many days and no one from top to bottom is anxious to see us. What's wrong?  But of course he didn't show it on his face. After sitting down with Neymar, he waited for Chen Hong's next words.  ??Coughed slightly and ignored Wang Quan. Chen Hong didn't have any objections to him.  However, he is Wang Chengen's nephew. Although he and Wang Chengen have no personal grudges, they are political opponents.  Turning his eyes on Neymar and Riel, Chen Hong said slowly: "Two special envoys, just say whatever you have to say! We are here on behalf of the Emperor. If you two have any ideas, we will accept them.  " Riel also saw that although the minister of etiquette was nominally the imperial envoy, it was Eunuch Chen who made the final decision.  No hesitation.  Naturally, they want to start getting straight to the point, and there is no need to hide it, at least not now.  "Before we start, I have a question. I hope Eunuch Chen will give me some advice!" Ruier knows the culture of the Ming Dynasty very well. He has been responsible for negotiating with the officials of the Ming Dynasty for so many years, so he naturally speaks very appropriately.  ??Looked deeply at Riel.  Chen Hong nodded slowly and said, "The special envoy has something to do, but it's okay to talk!" "That's right, Eunuch Chen, we heard that His Majesty the Ming Emperor intends to reopen sea trade. However, most of our news is just rumors.  I know if Eunuch Chen can tell us, is this news accurate? If there is any bias, can Eunuch tell the truth? "Although Ruier knew that the news was accurate, after all, this was what Emperor Tianqi said when he summoned officials from all over the country.  Yes, but this is not official news.  If we can get Chen Hong's answer, then this will be the official answer!  "Special Envoy Riel, the Emperor naturally has His Majesty's plans. This is not something that a minister can predict. If you have anything to say, Mr. Special Envoy, please just say it!" Chen Hong didn't want to spit out easily. This is a negotiation, not just talk. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? can frown. Ruil could not have expected to receive such an answer. He originally thought that the other party would definitely confirm the news, so that he could say the next thing!  "Eunuch Chen, our purpose this time is to discuss sea trade with the Ming Dynasty. If His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has no intention of reopening the sea trade, there is no need for us to talk about it next. It is just a waste of time."  Neymar couldn't stand it any longer and said directly, his tone was very rude.  Chen Hong turned his head, looked Neymar up and down, nodded, and said: "What the special envoy said is very reasonable. It is indeed a waste of time! But we don't think the big Frankies think so. They  You shouldn¡¯t think it¡¯s a waste of time!¡± Riel turned his eyes to the side again and said with a smile.  After giving Neymar a hard look, Riel said sternly: "Shut up!" After scolding Neymar.  Ruiercai smiled and said to Chen Hong: "Father-in-law, don't take it seriously, Neymar can't speak! But we really want to know the accuracy of this news, and we ask your father-in-law to tell you without hesitation." Chen Hong narrowed his eyes slightly,  He nodded, there was nothing to hide from this news.  What I did just now was just to establish my dominant position in this negotiation. Now that my goal has been achieved, that's fine.  "This matter is true, but we don't know when and how it will be done!" After thinking about it, Chen Hong gave a confirmed answer.  Hearing the news, Riel finally breathed a sigh of relief. With this answer, he could proceed further.  After calming down his mind, Riel took a sip of tea and said, "In this case, I will tell you directly! I?The Portuguese have lived in Macau for many years and have admired the Ming Dynasty for a long time. This is already our second hometown.  We hope that after the Ming Dynasty opens the sea, it can carry out in-depth cooperation with us.  " Chen Hong was not surprised by Riel's news. This was something that Emperor Tianqi had expected. He nodded and said: "Special envoy Riel, my Ming Dynasty is a kingdom in heaven, with a vast land and abundant resources.  The emperor is rich all over the world, and trade cannot only be done with the Portuguese. We think you should understand this.  ¡± ¡°You¡¯re just kidding, how could Emperor Tianqi hand over the foreign trade franchise. What¡¯s more, in the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, whether it¡¯s a warship or a upload, the Ming Dynasty should be full of seas. Looking at Chen Hong¡¯s resolute attitude, Riel  He also knew that there was no room for negotiation in this matter, but that was not why he came. After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell his purpose directly. After looking around, he picked up the teacup again.  Chen Hong naturally understood what you were doing and nodded in understanding. The people in the room quickly walked out, leaving only four people: Wang Quan, the Minister of Rites, Bingbi, the Superintendent of Rites, and Chen Hong.  Then there are Riel and Neymar. ¡°Eunuch Chen, this matter is of great importance. We hope to be able to say it to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty in person.  "Riel didn't intend to say it here, after all, this is not what he wants. He tried his best to convince Emperor Tianqi that this is what Riel wants. " Chen Hong was slightly startled, but he didn't expect to get such an answer.  However, he did not make arbitrary judgments. Since the Portuguese envoy dared to say this, he naturally had his support. "Envoy Riel, I still hope you can give me a reason. I can't report back to the emperor without knowing anything!"  "Chen Hong is still cautious enough. The emperor is not something you can meet just when you want. If you don't say anything when you meet Emperor Tianqi, wouldn't I be very incompetent? "Eunuch Chen, it's about cooperating to build warships!  "Riel's face was very serious. He hesitated for a long time before he slowly said. " Chen Hong didn't speak anymore. This was not something he could decide. He nodded slowly, and Chen Hong said in a deep voice:  "Since this is the case, I will report it to the Emperor!  " Emperor Tianqi was sitting behind the Long Bookcase at this time, listening quietly to Chen Hong's report. He raised his head and asked, "Where are the Spaniards?  What is their purpose?  " "Your Majesty, the Spaniards came here for two things. The first thing is to hope that we can expel the Portuguese in Macau.  "After Chen Hong met Portugal, he naturally went to meet the Dutch. When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he put down the memorial in his hand and asked directly: "What about the other two things?  " "Go back to the emperor and discuss the remaining two matters one by one.  "Chen Hong saw that Emperor Tianqi became serious, and his expression also became serious, and said. "It's a good calculation. This is their request. What do they give in exchange?  "Emperor Apocalypse doesn't care about the Spaniards' demands. It's not important. What's important is what he can get. " Chen Hong glanced at Emperor Apocalypse cautiously and said hesitantly: "The Spaniards said they can help us appease the sea. They  Willing to help the Ming Dynasty expel the Dutch in Penghu.  Of course, there are also pirates entrenched in Taiwan, but they need some cooperation from Ming Dynasty.  "After listening to Chen Hong's words, Emperor Tianqi suddenly laughed, reached out and patted the table, laughing loudly. This made Chen Hong stunned. What happened to Emperor Tianqi? In Chen Hong's view, this is actually  It's a good thing. It's just that the court's face is not good. I don't know what Emperor Tianqi is laughing about. Emperor Tianqi naturally understands what the Spaniards are up to. The purpose of their visit is to clear the trade route.  With the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade qualifications, the trade routes will naturally be available. The next step is to clear them up. However, whether it is the Dutch or the maritime group headed by Zheng Zhilong, these people are all very powerful. The Taiwan Strait is now occupied by the Dutch.  Zheng Zhilong was in control, and it could be said that there was no hope for the Spaniards to defeat them. At this time, the Spaniards set their sights on Daming, and as long as this matter was settled, they would not be able to obtain trade rights, and they would still be able to gain military power.  He got help from the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone. He did what he should do, and the reward was big! Emperor Tianqi was not a fool, and the Spaniards could understand the little thoughts, but this might not be an opportunity.  He tapped the table gently and stroked the beard on his chin. I don't know when he started to have this habit. He glanced at Chen Hong who was standing aside. Emperor Tianqi smiled and ordered: "Let the Ministry of Rites arrange it.  , I am going to meet the envoys of the two countries, of course I will meet them separately.  This is really a??Interesting thing, it seems that my plan can be advanced!  "
