After groaning for a long time, Liu Jian picked up the tea cup, gently uncovered the tea lid, and blew the green tea foam, which rippled in the tea and caused some ripples. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Liu Jian raised his eyes, and then said: "There is nothing to say now, Your Majesty's attitude is self-evident, it seems that this time, things are very tricky." ”

Things are really tricky, this, the three cabinet scholars actually understand that once the emperor makes up his mind, it will inevitably cause the opposition of the entire court, and the cabinet is sandwiched between the palace and the court, and no one here should think about it.

What's more, the opening of the sea does not only involve the imperial court, this matter is not so simple, and the interests involved are too great.

Liu Jian sat on the chair, and then said: "Let's go to the book, it is impossible to say that the illness is not successful, and only by fighting on the basis of reason can your majesty change his mind." ”

Liu Jian glanced at Li Dongyang and continued: "Binzhi, you can handle this matter. ”

Li Dongyang nodded and did not speak.

Xie Qian couldn't help but say: "If you want to fight on the basis of reason, where should you start?" ”

This is also a problem, although everyone doesn't know what medicine the emperor has taken, and he is determined to open the sea, among the three bachelors in the cabinet, Xie Qian is a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang, and is closely related to the family, and Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and the interests of the family are not too deep.

The involvement is not deep, it does not mean that they have not taken the benefits of the Jiangnan family, whether it is Liu Jian or Li Dongyang over the years, many children in the family have purchased properties in Jiangnan, and the Jiangnan family has helped a lot.

In fact, there is no difference between the officials of the past dynasties and the generations, and the people of later generations are always far-fetched, using honesty and greed to distinguish the good and bad of an official, but the real reality is that from the pre-Qin to the Ming Dynasty, almost all officials are not greedy for ink, otherwise where do those ice and carbon respect come from? Where did the sedan chairs, servants and mansions that officials usually go in and out come from? If you really have to rely on the imperial court to eat, I'm afraid that everyone will starve to death a long time ago.

Corruption is a part of the life of officials, so many years of hard work, decades of fighting in the sea, which time has not paid more sweat and effort than others? Which time is not walking on thin ice? After countless temperings, he has the official body he has now, how can he stick to poverty?

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian are also greedy, and they take no less than others, in fact, the entire court knows this, and everyone has long been surprised.

It's just that what is a Destroyer? The so-called annihilators are like Cai Jing and others, they are not only greedy, they don't do things when they are greedy, they not only don't do things, but they also do bad things, they don't do their own work, and they are flattering and opportunistic. Therefore, Cai Jing and his ilk have been stinking for thousands of years. And Liu Jian and his ilk are different, they can't take one less, and they will never be polite to you, but people are willing to do things, people still have ideals, and they can sort out the things in hand clearly and meticulously.

This is the real standard for judging an official, honesty and corruption are not to see whether you take other people's money, but to see whether you do something, after all, no one is a saint, Hai Rui and others are just a typical example set up by the imperial court, if the official is measured by his standards, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty will have to be changed again.

In fact, in the eyes of others, the official's guard seems to be very important, but the reality is that the official's guard is not a fart, at least for Daming, a hundred Hai Rui may not be comparable to one Liu Jian, comparable to one Zhang Juzheng.

And now, the emperor has made up his mind to smash the officials' jobs, is this worth it? Do you want to tell the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty to eat the northwest wind? This has already involved the bottom line of the bureaucracy, and Liu Jian decided to fight back.

"Start with the businessman, govern the businessman, and thank the world!" Liu Jian took a sip of tea, and his tone was very sharp.

The counterattack was not long in coming.

In the next court meeting, Zhu Youzhu just sat down, as usual, the eunuch on the side raised his throat, there is something to play early, nothing to retreat! As soon as the sentence fell, dozens of officials in the hall stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a performance!" ”

The leader was Liu Tong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Tong's face was pale, and he took the lead to speak: "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that there are businessmen in Jubaolou who have no king's law, talk about state affairs, and talk about the government and ......politics in vain."

Halfway through Liu Tong's words, Zhu Youjiao, who has always liked to be with mud, suddenly interrupted Liu Dao: "Oh? Is it? There's nothing wrong with businessmen talking about state affairs a few times, it's a good thing, and even businessmen are concerned about state affairs, isn't it great? Some people often say that businessmen are profit-seeking, and now it seems that businessmen are not just profit-seeking, and there is nothing wrong with letting them talk about national affairs. In my opinion, this is not a big deal, not to mention businessmen, that is, military households and craftsmen have anything to say, and they can also tell as much as they want, so that they can have long-term peace and stability and peace in the world! ”

Originally, Liu Tong wanted to use the merchants to discuss the government in vain, so as to overthrow the so-called opening of the sea by the merchants, and on the other hand, he could also knock on the mountain and shake the tiger to show his attitude to the emperor. Who knew that Zhu Youzhang's high-sounding words made him speechless for a while, Zhu Youzhu is not easy to mess with, he has been an emperor for so many years, this kind of official cliché is not a matter of hand?

"But Your Majesty, if these businessmen are talking about ordinary state affairs, they are actually talking about the ban on the sea......" Liu Tong decided to have a showdown, and it is not a way to hide and cover it, so it will only get worse and worse to play dumb riddles, since the emperor is trying to protect those merchants, then ask for the surname bayonet to see the red, Liu Tong continued: "When Emperor Taizu was here, he said: The people of the coastal sea are not allowed to go to the sea without permission, and violators will be punished for the crime of treason. This is the admonition of the ancestor Emperor Tai, and these businessmen are so bold and reckless that they dare to overthrow the golden rule set by Emperor Taizu, Your Majesty is a great tomorrow, how can you ignore it? ”

This sentence is very serious, although it is not explicitly stated, but it is accusing Zhu Youzhu of conniving at Shang Jia and violating the national policy formulated by Emperor Taizu. The Ming Dynasty is based on the rule of virtue, supplemented by the legal system, and the highest state of virtue is filial piety. In this way, doesn't it mean that Emperor Taizu is wrong? As Emperor Taizu's bloodline, but opposing Emperor Taizu's national policy, isn't this unfilial?

Although Liu Tong said it tactfully, his momentum was aggressive.

If it were Zhu Youzhu in the past, in the face of such criticism, most of them would have regressed, Zhu Youzhu was still very tolerant of Wenchen, which has always been his most commendable place.

However, Zhu Youjiao, who said it today, snorted coldly and said: "When Emperor Taizu was here, the world was initially decided, and the southerners were not convinced, and there were many remnants of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang who went in and out of the coastal defense, causing disaster to the world, so Emperor Taizu ordered that the pieces should not go to the sea. But now that these things have passed over time, how can you give up eating because of choking. In my opinion, opening the sea is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Zhu Youzhu said that it was not unreasonable, that year Zhu Yuanzhang started the Northern Expedition after Ying Tian ascended the throne. Occupy Kaifeng, conquer Dadu in August, and Emperor Yuan Shun fled to Mobei. Immediately, he pacified Sichuan, captured Yunnan, and recovered Liaodong. As Zhu Yuanzhang's strength grows stronger, his worries become more and more. One of them is that there are still many people who miss them in the areas that were originally under the jurisdiction of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng. In particular, Zhang Shicheng, the "southeast king" who started by eighteen flat shoulders, although the enterprising spirit is not strong, and he is partial to the southeast, but he is indeed very kind to the local people, and he is lightly endowed, and every year after his death, the people of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places commemorate him in the name of burning incense for the Tibetan Bodhisattva.

Therefore, many people in the southeast are still relatively disgusted with the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, from the perspective of maintaining his dominant position, closely monitored the people in the region. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong are close to the sea, and the shipbuilding industry is extremely developed, so the people can build private ships with a width of three or four zhang, and the tycoons can even build cargo ships that can compete with Chen Youliang's warships.

In order to prevent some people from rebelling, Zhu Yuanzhang issued a ban on the sea, what he was afraid of was that the people of the southeast used sea ships to enter and leave the sea to make trouble and rebel, plus in the early Ming Dynasty, there were not many official ships in the imperial court, and they were even inferior to some of the ships of the rich and powerful. It's just that the times have changed, and it's a bit ridiculous to talk about this reason again.

Ancestral ...... Emperor Taizu's ancestral system is not one thousand but eight hundred, and when it comes to the Hongzhi Dynasty, I don't see anyone really abiding by it.

"Why did Your Majesty say this? Is...... It's really ......" Liu Tong was confused this time, Zhu Youzhu actually said that opening the sea is not necessarily a bad thing, it is simply unreasonable! Originally, he wanted to say that His Majesty was really ridiculous, but in the end he held back, and the whole person seemed extremely excited, almost out of breath.

Zhu Youzhu said with a straight face: "Opening the sea is not touching the tiger's buttocks, is it still impossible to touch it?" ”

This is equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest, no one thought that the emperor would be so resolute on the issue of opening the sea, and immediately someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the policy of banning the sea has been implemented for a hundred years, and now the opening of the sea not only destroys the system of the ancestors, but also easily causes trouble, please think twice." ”

"Your Majesty must not, who is playing right and wrong in front of Your Majesty, the matter of the sea ban must not be discussed, if Your Majesty refuses to listen, Weichen would rather tell the old man to return to his hometown!"

"Your Majesty......"

This time it was not dozens of officials who stood up, almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty stood up, full of righteous indignation, and some people rolled up their sleeves and shouted loudly: "As soon as the sea ban is opened, the society will be overturned, Your Majesty cares about small profits, and the easy opening of the sea is bound to cause turmoil. ”
