Chapter Ninety-One: Opening the Sea III

The Empress Dowager said, "Sit, what are you doing?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "My grandson is fine, so I can't come to see my mother." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled: "You are fine, you never come often." ”

Although the ancestors and grandchildren have released their previous suspicions, they may not have no pimples in their hearts. Moreover, Zhu Qizhen understands the Ming Dynasty more and more, and it is no longer necessary for the Empress Dowager to interpret it in order to understand Zhu Qizhen, who is twisted and turned.

Therefore, although he came to ask for peace every day, there were also some things that he didn't understand before he came to ask the Queen Mother.

It's just that Yu Qian, a magistrate who has traveled through several places, is here, and there are very few questions that Yu Qian can't answer for Zhu Qizhen, so Zhu Qizhen comes even less.

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said: "This is the fault of the grandson. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "It's not a big deal, with Mr. Yu by your side, I am also very relieved, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

Zhu Qizhen took a few steps forward, stood behind the Empress Dowager's shoulder, gently pinched the Empress Dowager's shoulder, and said: "Niangniang, my grandson recently met with the envoy of the Old Port Comfort Envoy, and found that this Old Port Comfort Envoy may not be owned by the imperial court. ”

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and said, "Old Port --------," she said with a little uncertainty: "In Nanyang? ”

It can be seen that the old port has no sense of existence in the heart of the Empress Dowager.

Zhu Qizhen said with a wry smile in his heart: "Exactly." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled faintly and said, "Let them go." The country of small projectiles is like a flying insect in summer, living and dying by itself, why should the court care about them. ”

Zhu Qizhen listened to it and said: "What Niangniang said is that if there are other Xuanwei Divisions and grandchildren don't care about them, these small places are just for trade with the imperial court, so they are just named." It's just that the Old Port is no better than other places. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "Is there anything special about this old port? ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "This old port is the place of the Han people. The Shi family, the ambassador of the old port, is a Fujianese. When the eunuchs of Sanbao went to the West, they stayed in the old port many times, and many military families settled in the old port. ”

"These people are all from the imperial court."

"Now the court can't ignore it."

When the Empress Dowager heard Zhu Qizhen say this, she knew it in her heart. smiled faintly and said, "What do you want to do, let's listen to it." ”

Zhu Qizhen turned around, half-squatted beside the Empress Dowager, gently knocked on the Empress Dowager's old cold leg with his hand, and said: "Sun Er knows that the next time in Nanyang, Niangniang will never allow it." ”

"It's just Niangniang, the ministers outside all say that the West has lost money and money, and there is nothing to gain, but is there really no benefit left in the palace?"

The Empress Dowager glanced at him and said, "There is a little bit of Western things, but it is not enough to eat when you are hungry, and what is the use of being cold and clothed." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Grandson, if you want to go to the West now, since you have worked hard and lost money, you don't need to go down in the future, but the people of the Celestial Empire, even if it is in the South Seas, the imperial court must be protected." ”

"Now the imperial court only asks all countries to pay tribute, which is too much, why don't you choose a little bit so that the people can come and go to foreign countries?"

"No." The Empress Dowager said, "I don't know what you're thinking? Although the sea trade is profitable, but the world is focused on agriculture, if the sea is opened, how can the coastal people farm with peace of mind, in vain. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Only let the people of the old port come and go, other people cannot, there are materials from the imperial court, so that the people in Nanyang Daming have the power to protect themselves." ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at Zhu Qizhen, and in her eyes, it was clearly written: "I believe that you have ghosts." ”

However, the Empress Dowager was also moved by Zhu Qizhen's conditions.

The Empress Dowager was most worried about Zhu Qi's turmoil. Now he himself said that he didn't need to go to the West, but changed to this one. Always give him a little sweetness.

The Empress Dowager said: "Are you really not going to the West from now on? ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sun Er promises that since he went to the West to work the people and hurt the people, Sun Er promises that there will be no such thing in the future." Otherwise, the grandson swears to the mother. ”

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "Zheng He's peaceful march will never be planned in the future. In the future, this matter will not be returned to the eunuchs, and there will be a special sailor to handle it. ”

"No, it will go to the West in a big way, but to maintain a sense of presence in the South Seas, and it will be encroached upon over time."

"It must be different from Zheng He's time, these seven, seven, eight or eight are counted together, and they are not going to the West. And I'm going to change my name, and I'm sure there will never be another Western. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, she didn't know that her grandson had so many twists and turns in his heart, and said, "I don't need to swear." I know about it. ”

Zhu Qizhen paused slightly and said, "Niangniang." ”

The Empress Dowager said, "What else do you want?" Do you want me to speak to the Cabinet? The Empress Dowager adhered to Yu Qian's words of persuasion and let Zhu Qizhen do things.

There are a lot of political activities that are not practiced, and I really don't know what is going on. And sometimes the power is given to you, and you really have a few points, but it also depends on the ability.

Zhu Qizhen heard this, and immediately said, "Sun Er understands. ”

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly retreated and went to Yu Qian to discuss. Only then did Hu come over and say to the Empress Dowager: "Niangniang, Your Majesty does this, and the old ministers in the court may not agree." ”

The Empress Dowager said: "I have acquiesced, he can't do it yet." He just read honestly, and don't think about jumping up and down again, like a monkey. ”

Zhu Qizhen returned to the Qianqing Palace to discuss with his team and began to act.

After Yu Qian left the palace, he immediately went to Yang Shiqi's mansion and told Yang Shiqi about this matter.

Yang Shiqi listened, didn't raise his eyebrows, and said, "Tingyi, can you ask me to help you?" ”

Yu Qian said: "Students don't dare to bother the teacher, they just hope that the teacher will raise his noble hand." ”

Yu Qian understands very well that now above the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shiqi is a person who can't get around. This matter will reach Yang Shiqi's ears this morning.

didn't say hello in advance, and was misjudged by Yang Shiqi. Yang Shiqi doesn't need to make a clear statement to make things yellow.

Yang Shiqi said: "This is the exam question given to Her Majesty by the Empress Dowager, I, as a teacher, naturally will not interfere, but, Tingyi, do you think your plan can work?" ”

Yu Qian said: "Please also ask the teacher for guidance." ”

Yang Shiqi said: "Tingyi, you still stay in Jingshi for too short a time, and there are some things you don't understand. And this time, it's not just the Empress Dowager's exam questions for the emperor, it's also for you. ”

"Even if this thing can't be done, Your Majesty will naturally have nothing to do, but Tingyi, you may not be able to stay in the capital."

Yu Qian listened to Yang Shiqi's words. My heart sank, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to have this meaning.

It's normal to think about it.

Since the emperor is bent on making Qian a future cabinet assistant, the empress dowager must always try the pounds and pounds of this cabinet assistant.

As for Wang Zhen and Jin Ying, these people are just eunuchs. The Empress Dowager never took them seriously, but she valued Qian very much.

Although Yu Qian's resume and words have proved that Yu Qian himself is good.

However, as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, he should also have his own understanding of the flies in the court and the uneven forces in all aspects. Even in the way of power and conspiracy, there should be some attainments.

Otherwise, I really thought that the cabinet assistant ministers would be so easy to do.

If Yu Qian couldn't do this, the Empress Dowager would definitely let Yu Qian go out again and become a magistrate. And will not let Yu Qian continue to stay by the emperor's side.

Yu Qianxing Yang Shiqi bowed and said, "The student understands. ”

Yang Shiqi said: "I can't help you with this matter, I help you, but I hurt you." It's just that I think your plan is generally good, and it should be dangerous. ”

Yu Qian's heart moved, and he immediately understood. The Empress Dowager has smart ears and eyes, and if Yang Shiqi makes a move, it will be difficult to hide from her eyes. However, Yang Shiqi said that there is no danger, that is, although there is a mistake in this matter, Yang Shiqi will also take care of it.

It's just that Yu Qian has been thinking about it in his heart.

What is the mistake in this piece? What the hell is the place? It was something he hadn't expected.

The next day, however, he quickly understood what had gone wrong. He overlooked one thing.
