Zhu Ruiyuan knew what was going on. The key was that there was a conflict within the civil service group, which gave Emperor Sheng Long a great opportunity.

The civil servant group of the Tianming Dynasty was mainly divided into two factions, one was Qingliu represented by Sun Dongqing, the other was Jiangsu and Zhejiang forces represented by Xu Shuo, and two small forces, namely Huguang and Qilu.

On major issues, all factions can still maintain consistency, but privately attack each other and make trouble and smash black bricks.

Beijing inspection is a system for assessing officials in Beijing, but it has become a tool for party struggles. Sun Dongqing is now the chief minister, and the Qingliu faction has all the advantages, defeating the remaining factions and causing heavy losses. Many positions are occupied by officials of the Qingliu faction.

When other factions saw that the Qingliu faction was getting stronger and stronger, they formed a temporary alliance. Any Qingliu faction that agreed with it would inevitably oppose it. Any Qingliu faction that opposed it would have to agree. The internal friction of the civil servant group was also one of the root causes of weakening the foundation of the Tianming Dynasty.

"Master Xu, during the Beijing inspection, I reminded you that in extraordinary times, don't suppress other forces too ruthlessly, as it is easy to cause trouble. As long as we can solve the key point of the crown prince, we will have a long way to go. Unfortunately, the problem is complicated now." Zhu Ruiyuan said.

Having factions is not a bad thing, it is conducive to the king's control of balance and restraining all parties and not to make the whole family dominate. However, the factions form gangs and private forces for the continuous internal struggle, which is a big trouble.

He understood his meaning very clearly. Don’t worry about suffering some losses now. As long as I become the emperor, the Qingliu team will naturally receive generous rewards. To break up prematurely, it will cause unexpected changes in things. In fact, it has already appeared now. Is it possible for the prince to be in the past?

"This is everyone's wish. Although I am the prime minister, I can only follow it. Otherwise, the backyard will have a fire. It's not uncommon for me to replace me. This is a helpless choice." Sun Dongqing shook his head.

It is true that he is the leader of the Qingliu faction, but he cannot make decisions in one word. Moreover, the basis and starting point for making decisions is the interests of the entire faction.

On the first day of the Tianming Dynasty, Zhu Ruisheng experienced a confrontation. He felt a little tired, mainly because he thought too much, and he slept particularly sweetly at night and did not get up until six o'clock the next morning.

After breakfast, he ordered the summoning of two missionaries.

"His Royal Highness, I am Christopher, from the Holy Roman Empire."

"His Royal Highness, I am Barron, from the Spanish Empire."

The two missionaries were Catholic clergy. What made Zhu Ruisheng happy was that they came from the first year of Shenglong to the Tianming Dynasty. In the twelve years, language was no longer an obstacle.

They changed into brand new clothes and enjoyed a sumptuous meal. They were extremely grateful to Zhu Ruisheng. This was the prince of the Tianming Dynasty, but he did not expect to treat them so kindly!

"We have come to the Tianming Dynasty from thousands of miles away. Thank you all the way! Did you come by a boat or from land?" Zhu Ruisheng said with a smile.

Before, the eunuch of Sanbao went to the West, and later a missionary went to the Tianming Dynasty to draw a map of all nations, plus Shanghai's foreign trade, some basic geographical common sense have now been accepted.

Such as the Spanish Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the Stuart Dynasty, etc., are no longer strange things. Overseas merchants who come to do business come from these countries.

"Your Highness, we followed the ocean merchants and set off from the Spanish Empire on the Europa continent by boat. We first arrived in South Asia and Melica, then bypassed Africa, and finally arrived in the Tianming Dynasty in Asia. What can we do for you?" Christopher asked.

The dignified prince invited two missionaries like beggars to the royal palace to enter the royal palace for a warm hospitality. This must be a purpose. They never think that the prince is a philanthropist, just like the great nobles of their own country, each of them is a vampire.

"I hire you as consultants of the Song Palace, responsible for teaching the language of your country, with a monthly salary of thirty taels of silver, and food and accommodation in the palace. I am very interested in overseas affairs, and I can sit down and chat. When the appropriate time is right, I will help you advise the emperor and allow the Catholic Church to enter the Tianming Dynasty."

"Before teaching language, I have three things that I need to cooperate with. First, improve the "Map of All Nations" and re-mark the countries and cities on it. Second, draw a new navigation chart and follow your route and travel."

"Third, write down all my experiences, especially the experiences and customs of various countries, and as detailed as possible. This is an important reference for me to go out in the future."

"I hope that in my lifetime, I can go to several continents overseas to open my eyes and visit the Spanish Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, and even the Stuart dynasty." Zhu Ruisheng said with a smile.

This is definitely true. Since he traveled through time once, he wanted to go out and take a look, or instinct of every traveler.

It was a mule or a horse that was taken out for a walk. His three requirements were to see if the two missionaries had the knowledge they needed.

"As you wish, please provide the necessary things and we will start working immediately and will not disappoint you!"

Speaking of this level, Barron and Christopher naturally had no room for rejection.

They have really lived enough of being discriminated against and destitute. More importantly, they hope to bring their relationship with Zhu Ruisheng closer and allow them to preach in the capital.

The whole day passed and there was no news at all, but Zhu Ruisheng was not in a hurry. This was a matter of being a dead horse, so how could it be so easy to find clues?

Besides, I have not gotten married yet, so the censors forced the emperor to agree to let me become a vassal, and it would not work in a short period of time.

Choosing a princess, choosing a fiefdom and building a royal palace all takes a process. It is not easy to get the prince's fiefdom. It is scattered and scattered, and it will definitely not be completed in less than three or two years.

"Your Majesty, I accidentally found a small fish among the officials of the Sixth Division!"

It was not until noon on the third day that Luo Yi returned to the palace and also brought a message.

"You go and get a thousand taels of silver to Xiao Haizhong and talk to him as I want!" Zhu Ruisheng felt very satisfied when he heard Luo Yi's statement.

Censors do not embezzle and accept bribes. Most officials are from poverty. In this case, some things are difficult to deal with.

Baoyue Tower in Yanzhi Hutong, the capital.

This is the gathering place of Qinlou Chuguan. Baoyuelou is naturally a brothel, but it belongs to the private camp and the official camp was completely banned by the dynasty.

"Yuedie, although I am a seventh-rank official from the court, I only have one stone of white rice and more than two taels of silver per month. As a servant, I have no other source of income. My family has parents to support me and I have almost no savings. Your redemption silver is as high as 800 taels, and I really can't take it out!" Su Jingping, the servant of the servant department, sat in a room on the second floor, said helplessly.

Opposite him, a woman was crying, just a little bit of makeup, beautiful and slim, and a well-educated and delicate temperament. She was the first Yue Butterfly in Baoyuelou.

"This morning, a merchant took a fancy to me and wanted to redeem me. You know our rules. If I don't agree, I will continue to pick up customers. The little money I saved won't last long." Yue Die said.

The Tianming Dynasty prohibited officials from drinking and having fun in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and even had extremely strict regulations on this. Once discovered, they would never be hired, and even their descendants would be implicated.
