Yang Yiqing, the head of the cabinet, looked at it first, followed by Fei Hong and Wang Shouren...... Everyone passed it on one by one, before getting Zhengde's permission, everyone was digesting the content of the compromise, and those who didn't read it were rushing to see it, only Duan Fei was indifferent, because he had already known what was written in this recital from Gui Cao's letter yesterday, and Gui Cao also knew Duan Fei's situation in the court, if Duan Fei transferred it to Zhengde, the proposal in the compromise would definitely attract the suppression of both the civil and eunuch groups, so he turned around and made his intentions public to the court through his old acquaintance Zhai Luan, so that he could avoid being attacked on both sides.

In fact, many of the suggestions and opinions in the excerpt came from some of the ideas that Duan Fei revealed when he was in Suzhou with Gui Cao and Rong Wensheng when they communicated with them, although these ideas could not be directly applied, but they gave Gui Cao a lot of tips, he worked in Suzhou for half a year, and had a more intuitive understanding of coastal smuggling and Japanese troubles.

Compared with Wang Qiong and Guo Zhen's irrelevant bickering, Gui Cao's ideas are simple, clear and practical, and his political orthodoxy is simply four words: "Reform and opening up!" ”

It has been more than 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many aspects have accumulated many drawbacks, people of insight have seen the crisis, the former first assistant Yang Tinghe is a reformer, but his reform and Duan Fei said, piecemeal, can not cure the fundamentals, on the contrary, Gui Cao's reform is much more profound, and Duan Fei also knows that this paper is just the beginning, if Gui Cao's proposition is reused by Zhengde, the next reform will be more far-reaching, of course, this also has to take a big risk, if you don't get the right eye, your head will fall to the ground, So Duan Fei chose to wait and see what happened, and let Gui E toss it.

Gui'e's reforms included land reform and political reform, land reform included clearing land throughout the country, cracking down on landlords tuntian, and implementing a whip law he had told Duan Fei, while political reform emphasized the need to clear the way of speech, strengthen the supervision function of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, clean up the accumulated defects of the Hanlin Yuan, change the phenomenon of the cabinet controlling the Hanlin Yuan since Zhengde and the cabinet colluding with the six ministries for personal gain, and finally he also asked for 'get rid of more than 100 years of bad habits, return to the town guard, and help the hundred officials to remove the town guard ministers.

Another important content of the compromise is to open up, he asked the imperial court to open the sea ban, "allow the sale of the east and the west", in order to collect commercial taxes, increase fiscal revenue, and give a detailed policy of opening the sea, it is not feasible to completely open the sea, he suggested opening the sea in three steps, reform the current exploration and trade with various countries, add and delete the original city shipping division, first open three ports, take strict management measures, allow relative free trade, no longer the disorderly and primitive form of the past, and wait for experience, and then increase the opening of ports, Expand the scope of opening up and open up to the outside world step by step.

After Zhengde and several other important ministers, as well as Zhang Rui and Guo Zhen, all saw the twists and turns, they asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think this proposal is feasible?" ”

Gui Cao's recital is very well written, even if Yang Yiqing is a great Confucian official can't find anything wrong for a while, he saw the emperor asking, thought about it and replied: "Your Majesty, the political opinions in the compromises are mostly feasible according to the ministers, but there are some places that need to be considered......

Zhengde said angrily: "What else to consider? You want to quarrel again? I'll give you a cup of tea, and if you don't have any opinions, I'll do it. ”

How can a cup of tea be enough, everyone desperately uses their brains, Wang Qiong charged forward again, pointed the spearhead at the eunuch group, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister feels that the reform mentioned in the compromises still needs to be considered, the minister thinks that since you want to reform, it is not enough to abolish the eunuchs who guard the town, you need to reform the 24 yamen of the internal supervision together, the prime minister of Taizu Ge set up a cabinet, and it is more than enough for the cabinet to govern the country, and the 24 yamen of the internal supervision are in charge of the master of ceremonies and the classics, and are responsible for serving the emperor enough, and the minister asks the emperor to withdraw the power of the eunuch to wear red, and withdraw the east factory, Heavy tree Taizu iron plate at the palace gate, limited to ministers are not allowed to interfere in political affairs, the pre-cut beheaded! In this way, the world is peaceful, and it is foreseeable. ”

The expectation of peace in the world has not yet appeared, the court has already fried the pot, Guo Zhen jumped like thunder, not to mention, even Zhang Rui, who had been hiding next to watch the battle, knelt down crying bitterly, and cried to Zhengde: "Your Majesty, they want to force the old slave to death......"

Duan Fei didn't expect Wang Qiong to expand the attack area to the entire eunuch group, is this old guy really confused? Or do you want to do something that will go down in history before you retire? To do such an unwise thing, you must know that the eunuch's accumulation of defects is not a day, how can it be uprooted in one fell swoop? Under the current system, the best way is to break and score it, this old man wants to kill a large piece with a stick, but he is afraid that the first thing to be broken is his own old bones.

The power of the eunuch to wear red can make the emperor lazy, Zhengde doesn't want to be tired to death like the ancestor Zhu Di, when Zhang Rui cried, Zhengde's face was already a little unpleasant.

Yang Yiqing and the others all felt bad, but as the same front, it was not easy for them to speak out against it, Duan Fei saw that the situation was not good, so he had to step forward, and just when the situation was about to erupt, Duan Fei suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

The people who were holding back their strength were all stunned, and they were immediately deflated, Zhengde was also stunned, seeing that it was Duan Fei laughing, he couldn't help asking: "Duan Aiqing, why are you laughing?" ”

Duan Fei Shi walked out of the column again, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Lord Wang Qiong's opinion is very good, it is better to cut the Jinyi Guard, so that the cabinet can control the Metropolitan Procuratorate and hundreds of officials, and do whatever you want, isn't it happy?" ”

Everyone can hear that Duan Fei is saying the opposite, Yang Yiqing and the others are all secretly screaming, although Wang Qiong did not name Jinyiwei just now, but if the East Factory is cut and the eunuch Bingbi is removed, Jinyiwei is alone and not a problem, but he didn't expect that others are not stupid, if there is no Dongchang and the celebrant to fight with the cabinet, Jinyiwei will bear the brunt, Duan Fei can be said to be forced out by Wang Qiong.

Zhengde's face darkened even more after hearing Duan Fei's words, and he sneered: "Wang Qiong, do you want to dominate the dynasty alone?" ”

Wang Qiong was shocked, fell to the ground and kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no such intention, the old minister just wants to completely eliminate the treacherous eunuchs around him for the emperor, and think about the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhengde sneered: "Really? It's not bad to dominate the dynasty alone, Wang Aiqing has great ambitions, and Lao Ji has ambitions for thousands of miles, I'm really pleased, but it's a pity that Aiqing is over sixty years old this year, right? Even if you let you monopolize the government, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of disasters to the country and the people, and I will die of exhaustion within ten months, I really cherish Aiqing's first heroic name, and I can't bear to let Aiqing be scolded as a traitor......"

Hearing Zhengde's cool tone, Wang Qiong lay on the ground and trembled, and the other civil and military officials also held their breath, not daring to speak for him.

Seeing that Zhang Rui and Guo Wei had murderous intentions in their eyes, Wang Shouren saw the opportunity quickly, and said first: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang is very old, and it is inevitable that he will be a little confused when he speaks. ”

Zhengde glanced at him coldly, and with Wang Shouren's city, he also saw a chill in his heart, Zhengde said: "Wang Qiong, I remember your hard work and high achievements, so I won't pursue it, you can beg to return." ”

Wang Qiong wept and said: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, the old minister is old and can no longer serve the emperor, please allow me to return to my hometown." ”

Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Yes, I will give you a thousand taels of silver, go home and retire." ”

Wang Qiong retreated tremblingly, everyone was speechless for a while, Zhengde coughed, and said, "Who has other ideas?" If not, I'll have to draw up a decree. ”

Duan Fei took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, after reading the recital, Weichen has some ideas, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Seeing that it was Duan Fei, Zhengde slowed down his tone and said, "If Duan Aiqing has any ideas, just say it." ”

Duan Fei said: "Wechen thinks that most of the policies mentioned in the compromises are feasible, but some policies are in a hurry, and some places are not strong enough, for example, a whip law, Wechen feels that it is not appropriate to immediately implement it to the whole country, it is better to pilot it in Suzhou under the rule of Gui Cao, see what Gui Cao can do, and then slowly promote it is not too late, he said to strengthen the supervision function of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, clean up the shortcomings of the Hanlin Academy, according to Weichen, it is all empty words, the Metropolitan Procuratorate itself is not clean, why supervise others? First of all, we have to start the reform from the Inspectorate itself, and then talk about the removal of the eunuchs and the reform of the tax system, which is not an overnight thing, and Weichen thinks that the eunuchs who are guarding the town should be gradually stripped of their power, and they should first start from the military and politics......"

Duan Fei said eloquently, picking out some details, refuting the Zhang fold back, his words seemed to be a little biased towards the eunuchs, trying his best to seize power for the East Factory, and also suggested that Zhengde set up various new departments to arrange those frustrated eunuchs to take charge, and the hundred officials headed by Yang Yiqing naturally did not agree, and the factory guards joined forces with Zhang Rui, and the six departments of the cabinet fought for red faces, but after the ignition Duan Fei quietly disappeared behind the scenes, and occasionally echoed it, definitely not fighting for a little power for Jinyiwei.

Zhengde watched helplessly as they fought for power and profit, and became more and more annoyed in his heart, and finally couldn't help but slap the case and said angrily: "Shut up for me!" I have decided to gradually abolish the local guards, reform the tax system, reform the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and reform the ...... Reform...... I want to reform and open up ......"
