The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1604
[1604. Chapter 1525 Ninety-Five Supreme]
. Many Confucian scholars prostrated themselves.
Most people naturally know that the moment they step out of Yumen Pass, they can never go back.
Along the way, Corporal Suleiman showed special respect to them.
Suleiman’s attitude was very useful to many Confucian scholars, but they already knew in their hearts that their future would be tied to the monarch named Suleiman in front of them.
Of course, there are some paranoid people who still hope to return to their hometown one day, but at this moment, they have to make a choice in a foreign land.
Suleiman was equipped with a scimitar, his hand could not help but press on the handle of the knife, and the joy and anger on his face were difficult to detect.
But he slowly arrived on the blanket in the hall and sat on the floor.
Kasha and the generals looked at each other, a little confused, still confused about this.
They didn’t know what this new monarch had experienced in the East during this trip, and they didn’t know what the people in strange robes they brought back were doing.
With doubts, one of them walked forward slowly.
This man’s name is Ibrahim, who was once a slave, but he went to military school with Suleiman since he was a child and formed a deep friendship with Suleiman. Because of this, Ibrahim became Suleiman. As his deputy, Ibrahim is a capable man. Because of his relationship with Suleiman, he quickly stood out from the Ottoman court. Although he is now just an aide, he is considered among the Ottomans after Suleiman became the new king. The most promising person.
Ibrahim walked up to Suleiman, almost within walking distance of Suleiman who was sitting on the blanket.
He was extremely happy to see Suleiman returning to the west. Although he felt a little strange when he saw his old friend, he had many things to say in his heart.
Therefore, as usual, he walked up to the jar silently, then sat on the ground next to Suleiman, wanting to ask Suleiman about his experience in this journey to the East.
But when he approached Suleiman, Li Zhi, who had taken the lead in bowing before, suddenly blocked Ibrahim’s path with righteousness.
Li Zhi’s face straightened up, and he said sternly in Chinese: “This is the son of God, the most respected person in the world. Who dares to offend the holy face? Retreat!”
Yi Praxin was stunned and frowned. He couldn’t understand. .
Suleiman next to him could understand these words. Suleiman was quite excited when he looked at his childhood friend, but at this moment, he was sitting on the blanket motionless. From his eyes, no one could guess what was in his heart. He sat upright, silent, noncommittal, and showed no emotion at all.
The interpreter on the side was busy relaying Li Zhi’s words to Ibrahim.
After hearing this, Ibrahim’s complexion suddenly changed, and she felt horrified.
Then he looked at Suleiman questioningly.
Suleiman pursed his lips and stared at him with imperial dignity. Li Zhi said loudly again: “There are no rules, no squares, and you are like this. This is extremely disrespectful. Now that the new emperor is here, don’t you
hear
the difference between the emperor and his ministers? Why don’t you quickly step back and kneel down!”
The atmosphere seemed to have solidified.
Those Kasha, generals, and vassals were in an uproar.
They can’t understand what this is doing?
No one expected that when Suleiman returned here after being away from home for many days, the first thing he would do was embarrass his childhood companion and best friend.
Ibrahim looked even more disbelieving, his face looking miserable.
But he looked at his beloved friend for a long time, who still didn’t say a word, letting Li Zhi roar at him.
He couldn’t help but shudder, with a bit of unwillingness on his face, but it gradually changed.
Finally, a look of submission flashed across his face, and he slowly took a few steps back.
At this time, Li Zhi said sternly: “Kneel down!”
“Kneel down!” The uneasy interpreter gained confidence and shouted accordingly.
Iprahim glanced at Suleiman one last time.
When he saw Suleiman’s face, there was still only indifference.
Ibrahim’s eyes couldn’t help but moisten. He looked at Suleiman again with expectation, but finally he knelt down and said, “Your loyal servant Iprahim has seen the great Sultan.”
Kasha and the generals, look at me and I look at you.
Suleiman said calmly: “Yes.”
His response was as cold as the expression on his face.
But then he added: “I went to the east, learned a knowledge, and brought back many precious envoys. They came with me this time to establish a new law.”
Suleiman was known as The great Ottoman legislator.
Although he had just ascended the throne, because his father had killed his uncles and brothers early, and even his brothers and sisters were not spared, Suleiman had already confirmed his status as the crown prince early on, and he was in the palace. The position is extremely stable.
After saying these words, he calmly stood up from the blanket and subconsciously said in Chinese: “I am tired and need to rest. You leave.”
The Kashas couldn’t understand Suleiman’s words for a while, but fortunately the interpreter was timely. After opening his mouth, Yipraxin and others resigned in fear.
But… the Confucian scholars stayed.
This group of newly favored Confucian scholars couldn’t help but make people feel jealous.
Dozens of Confucian scholars entered the hall, and more than two thousand people were waiting outside.
An eunuch brought tea to Suleiman. Suleiman only took a sip, and affectionately greeted the Confucian scholars Li Zhi and Chen Jingye, who were close and knowledgeable, and said, “Come here, I have something to explain.”
Li Zhihe Chen Jingye and others looked at each other in disbelief. Li Zhi raised his head and said: “Your Majesty is the king of ten thousand chariots. How dare I dare to come forward and offend you so easily? Please show me.”
Suleiman said: “I want to make a new plan. I wonder if you have any suggestions on the etiquette. “
Li Zhi said with a calm face,” the etiquette is decided by the emperor. I don’t dare to specialize in it, but…I see here that the country of the emperor has bad customs. There are quite a few, so I have some suggestions. First, in my opinion, it is inappropriate for the emperor to be the sultan. The emperor should be respected throughout the world. I think that your majesty should use the title of emperor to reform the Yuan Dynasty. , this is the calendar. Secondly, Your Majesty should establish an official school to promote the Four Books and Five Classics, so as to teach people the etiquette of kings and ministers. Thirdly, the Four Books and Five Classics are from Han Dynasty. Although Your Majesty is an Ottoman, the Ottoman king will be a Chinese. , why not, your majesty might as well make Chinese language and Chinese language an elegant language and order people to promote it. Only in this way can this etiquette be deeply rooted in people’s hearts. When I came, I also heard that there are different languages in the Ottoman country. The units of measurement are different, the calendars are different, and the gods they believe in are also different. In the long run, I am afraid that it will not be a blessing to the country, so I determine Yayan, unify the units of measurement, establish Honglu Temple, and manage different gods. , each army needs to send officials, generals often have ambitions, only those who have learned etiquette are trustworthy…”
He began to talk.
Suleiman had considered many of these suggestions along the way.
The biggest problem of the Ottomans was that they conquered different ethnic groups, and their population was not large. All ethnic groups lived together, making management inconvenient. There were dozens of confirmed languages in the country alone.
It’s just… He raised his eyebrows and said, “Can it be done?”
“It just depends on whether your Majesty is determined. If you have perseverance, things will come true. Your Majesty has the ambition to change things and determine the new system. It is difficult, but it is. This is the long-term way of the Ottomans. As long as His Majesty is determined, why not?”
Suleiman stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.
In his mind, he thought about the gestures of Kasha and the generals. He subconsciously turned back and glanced at the extremely submissive Confucian scholars.
His expression dropped: “You first formulate a new law and send it to me for review, and then it will be promulgated to the world. Other than that…” He
said coldly: “While I have just become the Sultan, I will hold a ceremony to summon all the Kaisers.” Xia and Fengchen came to watch the ceremony…”
He took a deep look at Li Zhi and others, with a cold voice: “Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!”
Under Suleiman’s gentle appearance, he has a deep heart .
But he still carries the unruly attitude of his ancestors.
Murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
At this moment…the layout of the Ottoman Guards and the stationing of troops everywhere, all appeared in his mind at this moment.
At this time, the Confucian scholars were ecstatic.
Take a look, take a look.
Flowers bloom inside the wall, and fragrance blooms outside the wall.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince no longer want us, but so what, in this Ottoman dynasty, which is also a dynasty with thousands of miles of land, we can still ascend to the Emperor’s Hall.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
………………
When no one was aware, a stock called Bafang Commercial Bank began to be listed on the exchange.
The stock capital of the trading company was not small. When it was established, the palace contributed most of it, while the Fang family contributed a small part.
It’s just… when it raised funds and went public, almost no one paid attention.
Although the prospectus gives a detailed introduction to their business scope and future prospects, most people are indifferent. The market has been hot recently and there are many stocks with stable returns. Why take the risk and try to buy such stocks? What about new shares?
Fang Jifan seemed unmoved by this.
His Majesty paid five million taels, and he paid three million. Now he only needs to raise two million.
Moreover… the commercial bank is just a start-up, and is still in the stage of building commercial points along the way, and does not yet need a large amount of capital injection.
The only person who put some pressure on Fang Jifan was His Majesty.
Your Majesty has invested so much money. Although he has repeatedly promised, this business can only be long-term after all. This is five million taels of silver. Once the blueprint drawn by Fang Jifan does not come true, five million taels will be considered a complete failure. Once inside, Fang Jifan could already imagine how His Majesty would deal with him.
Of course, that’s not what Fang Jifan is concerned about now.
Because… the express report has arrived, my father’s fleet has arrived in Quanzhou, and will soon… arrive at Tianjin Wei.
Dad…is back.
