On the third day after arriving in Ryukyu, His Majesty the Emperor waited for his ministers.

Then……

"I will not agree to any conditions for you!"

On the white beach, His Majesty the Emperor sat upright on a chair and looked proudly at the ministers in front of him.

These were all appointed by him.

Li Tingji, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Liu Tinghui, the Minister of Personnel, Lu Longyun, the Minister of War, and two Fujianese and one Guangdong. Because the last purge was mainly Guangdong officials, the senior officials in the court were mainly Fujianese, but they have begun to be mixed with Yunnan and Guizhou by the emperor. There are also more than a dozen elders from the Guanzhengyuan. Although the Guanzhengyuan has not been deposed, these elders have been deprived of Guanzheng's power. The emperor will occasionally summon him. After all, these elders are old ministers from all over the country. Letting them in Fengtian show that His Majesty the Emperor is humble and accepting advice...

Just decoration.

However, his status is not low, and many of them are still important officials of the Nine Ministers before.

The proportion of Guangdong officials in the Ming Dynasty was actually not high. Guangdong's imperial examinations ranked relatively low in the Ming Dynasty, which means they were similar to Shaanxi, but Fujian was very high.

Second only to Nanzhi, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, the number of Jinshi ranked fourth, nearly three times that of Guangdong.

"Your Majesty implemented a new policy for offering sacrifices to heaven in Suzhou. How could the promise of offering sacrifices to heaven be violated?"

Li Tingji said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, if the reason why the people in the world cannot be pacified today is that God is deceiving the wrongs by Your Majesty. If Your Majesty fulfills his original promise as soon as possible, the world will be settled just in time."

Huang Fengxiang, one of the elders, said.

"Why was the world in chaos before?"

The emperor said.

"Since his Majesty took power, his trust in treacherous and honest people, and his moral policies have not been cultivated."

"You have died in the 21st year of Wanli. I have been in power in the 11th year of Wanli. You have been the Minister of the Secretariat during the ten years of my rule. Then I am very curious. If a treacherous minister leads to the turmoil and causes trouble, you can be considered a minister of the righteous, right?"

"Well?"

Huang Fengxiang shut up quickly.

"Your Majesty, Zhi'an is old and stupid, and the way of heaven is far away. How can ordinary people miss it? However, Your Majesty's imperial edict for the reform had already been announced to the world, and the people were all looking forward to it. Now your Majesty has abandoned the new policy and killed many people in the name of restoring the ancestral system. All the people are panicked and the people are tyrants. If this continues, there may be chaos. After all, there are many troublemakers in the people who want to take advantage of the chaos. The country in the Ming Dynasty is at risk of collapse. At this time, Your Majesty can only be at peace with the people by fulfilling their promises and implementing the new policy."

Liu Tinghui said quickly.

"tyrant?"

Wanli sneered.

"I remember you also said that Taizu was a tyrant?"

He said.

"Well, I am loyal to Emperor Taizu Gao, and regard Emperor Taizu Gao as the holy lord of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The country of the Ming Dynasty was defeated by Emperor Taizu Gao, and I will be grateful to all generations. I am grateful to Emperor Taizu, so how dare I criticize Emperor Taizu?"

Liu Tinghui said quickly.

Others said that they all regarded Taizu as the saint lord and wise ruler, and absolutely did not think that Taizu was a tyrant.

"Then I'm curious. I'll restore the ancestral system and restore the old system of Emperor Taizu Gao, the holy lord and wise monarch, why can't you stand it?"

Wanli said.

"Well, this time and then, Taizu inherited the rule of Hu Yuan's rough rule, and there was no restoration in the world, and the world's chaos was new. Without strict punishment and strict laws, it would be impossible to shock the stubborn. Since Taizu Taizu, the Ming Dynasty has been in power for more than two hundred years. The rules and regulations have been established, so naturally it cannot implement the old system of Taizu. What's more, Your Majesty's laws are more than Taizu, and even Taizu has never had any matters of seizing land and property in the world."

"The rules and regulations, who's rules and regulations?"

"Nature is the way of sages and the principles of Confucianism."

"Isn't the Confucian ruler imprisoned the emperor and forced the monarch to exile the emperor to the island for selfish desires?"

Wanli shouted.

The ministers were speechless...

"Why do you need to talk nonsense? Your Majesty signs a covenant and will be His Majesty. If you don't sign a covenant, you will be old and dead island. There is no imperial camp here."

An elder finally became angry and shouted angrily.

"It would be great that this would be the case. This is your true face. There is no need to be so troublesome to me in the future. Just say it clearly. Since this is the case, I will definitely not sign the covenant. If you want me to make me old and dead island, then I will cultivate myself here. The scenery here is good, and the imperial concubine likes it very much. I have been a little tired over the years."

The emperor said with a smile.

On the beach not far away, the imperial concubine was crowded among a group of local village women, watching them sorting out all kinds of sea fish they had just caught and watching with a starfish there. However, it was really pleasant. The villagers were also very interested in the palace costumes on her. Because it was all Minnan dialect, although His Majesty the Emperor could speak Cantonese, he really didn't understand Minnan dialect, and the imperial concubine didn't understand even more. Therefore, both sides still do not understand the language, and the people here did not understand their identities.

There was originally a inspection department here, but it was already abolished by the Fu-san Council a few years ago.

After all, it’s useless and you have to pay money. However, with the development of Nanyang Company in Bengang, a large number of ships in southern Fujian pass by here every year.

In fact, the population is already thousands.

Nanyang Company even has a permanent warehouse here.

"You foolish lord, do you really think we dare not kill you!"

An elder said angrily.

This foolish king is really annoying.

"Kill me, kill me, just right, Yang Feng is here to kill your whole family."

His Majesty the Emperor said with a happy smile.

The ministers looked at each other in sorrow...

This is troublesome.

Killing cannot be killed. If the emperor is killed, Yang Feng will come to the door. He cannot even say that the emperor is imprisoned. They said to the outside world that the emperor is in poor health and cannot stand the bumps at the sea. They temporarily wait for the port to rest, and then return to Guangzhou when the rest is almost over. The court temporarily handles affairs on its own during this period. Li Tingji and others are also under the banner of coming to see each other. Of course, they are not coming to Penghu. They said that the emperor is on Nan'ao Island, which is one of Yu Zigao's naval bases.

"Why, if you don't kill me, then let's waste our monarch and ministers!"

His Majesty the Emperor said.

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the imperial concubine under the somber eyes of the ministers...

Half a month later.

Nanchang.

"By the way, this is to make the Magna Carta, no, he has done it last time."

Yang Feng exclaimed at Xiong Tingbi who was obviously haggard in front of him.

"What is Magna Carta?"

Xiong Tingbi asked in confusion.

He came to find Yang Feng directly...

He was not stupid, he just intercepted the three armed merchant ships behind. What could he do even if he knew that the emperor was in Penghu?

It was a fleet of four Tielimu Ship and more than forty fighting ships watching.

After he went to Penghu, he asked Yu Zigao's fleet to send it directly to the seabed. In this case, the easiest way was to find Yang Feng.

And he happened to be in Tamsui area again.

Huwei is Danshui, which is also called Danshui at this time, but it is collectively known as the entire Tamsui River Estuary area. The trading post where Nanyang Company and Kaidagranites trade is called Huwei.

However, the development focus of Nanyang Company is Tainan, which is Bengang, where tens of thousands of immigrants in southern Fujian are reclaiming land and planting rice and sugarcane, and hunting deer skin. There is a commercial base in the chicken coop in the north, which specifically provides supplies for those who take the Black Tide route. Xiong Tingbi just goes to the chicken coop directly and then enters the Black Tide route to the north. However, he met the Republic merchant ship from Zhejiang to Ryukyu halfway. At this time, Nanyang Company and the sea merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, including the Republic, still divided the maritime trade equally.

The trade between Japan and Ryukyu belongs to the latter, and the trade between Nanyang is from the Nanyang Company.

Then the merchant ship directly abandoned all the goods and quickly returned to Zhoushan with no load. Then, starting from Ningbo, militia from all over the country used dragon boat relays to transport him here quickly.

"In our Song Dynasty, the English nobles of the Thaisey forced their king to sign a covenant, which restricted the power of the monarch, especially tax collection and other things. Those nobles and the great landlords must meet with each other. If the latter meeting opposes, they cannot be collected. Especially when respecting their private property, even the monarchs cannot deprive their property at will. Of course, it has nothing to do with the people. Those who can attend the meeting are nobles with fiefs and bishops of the church.

But our Emperor had already done it. Didn’t he already agree to similar conditions when he sacrificed the heavens in Suzhou?

Ah, yes, he broke his promise again.

But the son of the monarch in England also tore up the Magna Carta.

That's right. This is not the Magna Carta. It's time to implement a Bill of Rights. This road has to be done step by step. I have to go through everything I need to go. My Ming Dynasty is getting more and more exciting. I am looking forward to it. Do they have the courage to behead His Majesty the Emperor and show it to the public?"

Yang Feng said with some longing.

Although Xiong Tingbi was listening on the side, he was completely inexplicably surprised.

Indeed, the last time he was in Suzhou was actually considered the Magna Carta, but later, His Majesty the Emperor broke his promise and encouraged the unruly people to retaliate in Guangzhou and regain power, and then tried to restore his feudal rule, and even learned to become tyrant from his ancestors. This Ming version of Charles I tried to reverse history. The righteous people of Guangdong and Fujian firmly refused to agree and wanted to deal with him to the end, forcing him to comply with his promise to sacrifice to heaven in Suzhou and continue the reform announced in Suzhou.

This is a bill of rights!

This explanation can be said to be very high-end.

In fact, it is almost the same. There is no difference between the rebels of Daying and the rebels of Daming. They both want to ensure their own interests from a system perspective.

Completely eradicate the threat of imperial power to their private property.

After all, this is an inevitable result. The gentry of Fujian and Guangdong have been free for several years, and they all understand what they should understand.

Everything is natural. Even the gentry in the north can build a senate, so why can't they build a guillotine?

The Guillotine is sending a passionate call to His Majesty the Emperor.

So should I let my father-in-law go to the guillotine to sacrifice and then start a new era of the Ming Dynasty? Or should I play a savior, come with colorful auspicious clouds to save the emperor exiled by the traitors, and then take him back like a little Nana to return to Guangzhou and hang those traitors?

This question is really hard to choose.
