Leopard room.
When Zhu Houzhao returned, his eyes quickly swept across the leopard room.
However, Liu Jin and the others below were still standing motionless.
Obviously, he didn't notice that he had disappeared just now.
"I stayed in the chat group for at least four hours, but these people didn't respond.”
"It seems that after entering the chat group, time outside is still.”
This thought flashed across Zhu Houzhao's mind.
This was convenient.
Suddenly.
A blue panel suddenly popped up.
This gathering ends. Obtained: no
The next chat group meeting will be opened in March. Before the meeting, the group leader can randomly invite two emperors to join the Group chats
[Hint: As the number of emperors in the chat group increases, the interval between the opening of the chat group will increase.]
"Is this the settlement page of the chat group?”
He looked at the notification on the interface in front of him.
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The second gathering in three months?”
"And... At that time, he could invite two emperors at random?”
His eyes lit up when he saw the message.
Zhu Houzhao remembered.
After the number of people in the chat group reached five, Dynasty's ranking mode would be activated.
He didn't need to think to know.
In this mode, the group members would definitely be able to obtain some benefits.
Otherwise, in this interface.
There was no need to say something like 'Obtained item: None.
Da da ~
There was a sudden sound of light footsteps outside the door.
Not long after.
A soft male voice came from outside the door."Your Majesty, the commander of the East Chamber, Tongzhi Wang Mian, requests an audience.”
"What is it? Just say it."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and the panel in front of him disappeared.
Then, she changed into a comfortable lying position.
"Your Majesty, Liu De has confessed!”
"What?"
Zhu Houzhao instantly opened his eyes, and the laziness in his eyes disappeared without a trace.
What replaced it was a sharp spirit.
Who is Liu De?
It was Liu Daxia's son!
"Did you find Zheng He's treasure map?”
Zhu Houzhao's voice was sharp.
"According to Liu De, Zheng He's treasure map was hidden in a private residence in the outskirts of Long County. That private residence was secretly purchased by Liu Daxia when he was alive, so no one knew about it.”
Wang Mian replied.
"Very good."
Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes, and a faint murderous aura involuntarily flickered on his body.
Liu Daxia had been a controversial figure in history.
After all, if they burned Zheng He's treasure map just to save the Ming Empire's expenses, then it would only be stupid.
However, this fellow did not burn it, but hid it.
That wouldn't be stupid!
Those treasure maps didn't only contain the craftsmanship of shipbuilding, but also records of sailing routes, wind directions, and so on.
That was why it was so precious.
If there was no treasure map, it meant that Da Ming needed to open up a new route.
At the same time, this also meant that…
Whoever obtained the treasure map would be able to use these sea routes to open up western trade.
The benefits were worth at least tens of millions of silver!!
Zhu Houzhao's tone was filled with killing intent."How is Liu De?"
"There aren't many pieces of good meat left."
"Then kill him."
"Yes, sir!"
After Wang Mian left the door.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin again."Liu Daban."
Liu Jin quickly stood up and said,"This old servant is here!"”
"Go to the Ministry of Revenue and strip Liu Daxia of his posthumous title and Taibao position. Then, bring me the treasure map of Zheng He.”
Now, he hated Liu Daxia to death.
Zheng He's treasure map had been found.
However, the next meeting of the chat group would be held in three months.
Even if they started building ships now, they would not be able to trade with the West within three months.
Although he didn't want to admit it.
However, if it was just the current ranking of the four people.
His Righteous Dynasty could only be ranked second at most.
Zhu Houzhao was not confident that he could compete with the Yongle Dynasty, which was receiving tributes from the western countries.
However, if he had obtained Zheng He's Treasure Map earlier and reopened the Western Continent, he would have been able to escape.
Then the first place was definitely set in stone!
"This old servant obeys the decree!"
Liu Jin's eyes flashed with excitement.
Others might not know, but he did.
His Majesty had always wanted to imitate Emperor Yongle and restart the western sea route.
And such an important matter was handed over to him.
Obviously, he was preparing to make a great contribution.
Liu Jin did not dare to be careless.
He immediately left the Leopard House and ran out with excitement.
"This Liu Daban is quite active in doing this kind of thing.”
Zhu Houzhao watched Liu Jin run out and laughed.
He also found it interesting.
In the original history.
This so-called Liu Jin had become the 'nine thousand years old' of the imperial court, and his might was greater than the heavens.
However, even in Zhu Houzhao's eyes.
In history, Liu Jin was just a shield pushed out by the original person.
Otherwise, how could he fall into the water and die of illness?
However, in his place.
There was no need for Liu Jin to become '9,000 years old' again.
After all, he had complete authority in the court.
Be it the civil officials or the generals.
Everything was within his control.
"Dynasty Rankings!"
Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment.
A thought that had been buried for a long time flashed across his mind.
"It seems that we can only put that matter on the agenda.”
Increase the business tax!
Three months was just right!
If not for the chat group, he might have waited another two years until he completely suppressed the civil servants and the gentry class before taking action.
However, for the upcoming Dynasty Rankings, he could not hesitate anymore.
