Seeing that Jin Yiwei calmed down An Dehai in person, Yang Sisheng couldn't help but feel an ominous feeling in his heart; Under normal circumstances, An Dehai rarely shows up to personally lead the team, and can let him come in person, unless something big happens, how can he let An Dehai go out in person.

Even in Sun Chuanting's case, Jin Yiwei has never asked about it from beginning to end, and today it is just the prefect's yamen handling the case normally, according to the convention, it is impossible for Jin Yiwei to participate in it, let alone ask, he doesn't understand what kind of medicine is bought in this Andehai gourd.

The two brocade-clothed guards were the first to enter the restaurant, their eyes were extremely cold, they were not angry and arrogant, and they exuded bloodthirsty aura all over their bodies, which made people daunting and couldn't avoid it.

The rest of the Jinyi guards followed, fan-shaped Yang Sisheng and Cai Mao on both sides, one by one cold-faced and bloodthirsty, staring at the audience, if any of them did not dare to move, they immediately killed on the spot, without mercy, this is the consistent style of Jinyiwei.

A group of catchers and soldiers retreated one after another, their steps were slightly messy, the weapons in their hands hung down involuntarily, and their eyes showed a look of awe; Seeing this, Yang Sisheng hurriedly greeted him with a smile and arched his hand: "Congratulations to the envoy, I don't know if the adult is coming, Sisheng has missed the welcome, forgive me!" Huh"

Cai Mao also hurriedly bowed his hand, his face was extremely embarrassed, and his heart was up and down, and he was uneasy.

An Dehai walked in slowly from outside the door, his face was extremely embarrassed, when his eyes fell on King Xin, after seeing that he was safe and sound, his heart suddenly eased, and a hanging heart finally fell, and he was about to come forward to greet him, but when he saw King Xin shaking his head slightly to him, An Dehai immediately understood.

An Dehai's face was gloomy, ignoring Yang Sisheng and Cai Mao, looking around left and right, flicking his sleeves, and then said coldly: "Hmph, what a big battle!" ”

Yang Sisheng's face was embarrassed, and he immediately explained: "Lord Pacification, this government heard that there are rioters here, and sent Xiao Wansan, the chief arrester of the six gates, to arrest him; Unexpectedly, this gang of rebels is strong and extremely arrogant, and they actually arrested and seized the six gates, and tied them up on the lower streets to show the public, so the government asked the general's mansion to send reinforcements! ”

"Oh! Is it? An Dehai's eyes were cold.

"Hehe, that's the case, this government doesn't dare to deceive the pacification envoy!" Yang Sisheng said with a smile, the prefect Yang Sisheng is now concurrently serving as the governor of Shaanxi, just waiting for the holy decree to be issued, and he will immediately take up the post of governor of Shaanxi, he doesn't want to offend An Dehai at this critical juncture.

"Lord Pacification, Governor Yang is telling the truth!" Cai Mao arched his hand and said: "Look, these rebels have wounded more than a dozen of my subordinate soldiers!" ”

When the two of them saw An Dehai like a plague god, they were all terrified; Although Yang Sisheng and Cai Mao belong to the same four products as Jinyiwei's envoys, in terms of their status in the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei is subordinate to the emperor's ministers, equivalent to the emperor's cronies, and supervises the world on behalf of the sky; The prefect and the chief military officer are subordinate to the civilian and military generals, and the two are not the same.

An Dehai looked at Yang Sisheng and said coldly: "Our family has heard that your son Yang Tian blackmailed the shopkeeper of the restaurant and wanted to forcibly occupy his daughter Liu Siyin, so he was injured in a private fight; Six doors don't ask the reason, you can't take people but are pressed, as a prefect, don't lead by example, indulge in murder, such a big official authority! ”

When the prefect Yang Sisheng heard this, his heart suddenly sank, and he couldn't hide anything from Jinyiwei, so he hurriedly explained: "The pacification envoy is clear!" There is no such thing, my son Yang Tian was injured by these chaotic people, and it has nothing to do with the shopkeeper Liu of the restaurant! ”

An Dehai's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Are you sure they are 'chaotic people'?" ”

Yang Sisheng hurriedly explained: "These people resisted the arrest of Oucha and injured the soldiers, they are definitely not ordinary rebels!" ”

When An Dehai heard this, his face turned blue with anger, and he shouted angrily: "You! As a prefect, in order to avenge personal revenge, he arbitrarily planted charges and people, and privately mobilized the imperial army to serve his own hatred and personal vendetta, but he was so bold! Is it your family that you are in the imperial army? Who gives you the power? ”

Yang Sisheng was suddenly trembling with fright, his body was weak and sifting chaff, it was clear that the local officials had no right to mobilize the army, how could he not know the responsibility for transferring the army privately; It's just that he is usually domineering and domineering, and he is used to doing whatever he wants, and at this time, Ande Haigang is online, how can he not be afraid.

In order to prevent the courtiers from controlling the court situation, the military and the government were separated, and the military did not involve the army, and the army did not interfere in politics.

An Dehai turned to look at Cai Mao, who was terrified on the side, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes, and asked coldly: "Cai Mao, our family asks you, are you the general of the Ming Dynasty, or his Yang Sisheng's general?" ”

Cai Mao was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "This, Cai Mao knows his mistake, please calm down and make the adults aware of it!" ”

"Humph! You are arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and we can open one eye and close one eye as if we didn't see anything; However, what you have done today has touched the bottom line of the court, if our family continues to pretend to be deaf and dumb, then it will be a great trust from the emperor, and our family can not afford to bear this crime of bullying the king! An Dehai snorted coldly and said with burning words.

"Please pacify the envoy Mingcha!" Yang Sisheng Cai Mao was shocked when he heard this, and bowed down and begged together, they were really scared now, but they didn't expect An Dehai to be unusual, and give them a platform.

"Humph! Our family is also in accordance with the Ming law and according to the rules, two, please follow our family to Jinyiwei for a while! After An Dehai finished speaking, he looked at King Xin and nodded, then waved his robe sleeves, snorted coldly, turned around and walked away.

Yang Sisheng Cai Mao was suddenly frightened and sifted through the chaff, his face was pale, like a thunderbolt, and he stood on the spot; The two brocade guards stepped forward, couldn't help but say, and directly took the two out of the restaurant.

When a group of soldiers and six doors saw this, they were in chaos, you look at me, I look at you, and they were at a loss; The prefect and the chief military officer were all arrested by the Jinyi guard, what are they still doing here, they are afraid of harming the fish pond, so they run away one after another, and the birds are scattered.

Xu Xia stroked her beard, came to the front of King Xin, and said with a slight smile: "An Dehai is not simple!" ”

A wry smile appeared at the corner of King Xin's mouth, his face was gloomy, and he said: "An Dehai is showing his loyalty, clearing the roadblocks for me, and taking this opportunity to take down Yang Sisheng and Cai Mao in one fell swoop. In this way, at least during this time in Xi'an, there will be no constraints and it will be convenient to act. ”

Seeing this, Xu Xiake asked, "Then why is Your Highness so depressed?" ”

King Xin sighed and said, "Alas! Nowadays, natural disasters and man-made disasters in the Ming Dynasty continue, there are barbarians and foreign strong enemies outside, and the Ming army has been fighting for many years, and the soldiers are not stopped, resulting in the emptiness of the treasury; There are court officials who form parties for personal gain, and the wind of corruption is corrupt, resulting in the decay of the government, the rebellion, the displacement of the people, and the unspeakable suffering; The country is in poverty, the war is raging, the country, the army and the people need to recuperate, but the current Ming Dynasty is struggling! ”

When Xu Xiake heard this, he thought for a long time, and said solemnly: "Your Highness is worried about the country and the people, and the world is the blessing of all the people!" Daming needs a window period of steady development, only a peaceful and prosperous country, a thriving country, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the country can be strong and prosperous! ”

"Window period!" King Xin's eyes showed perseverance, and he said solemnly: "The Ming Dynasty needs to have the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, rectify officials like Yang Sisheng, purify the atmosphere of officialdom, and rectify the rule of officials; At the same time, it is all the more necessary to win an unprecedented victory, which can settle the situation in one battle and deter all sides, in order to strive for the so-called 'window period' and win the so-called development opportunity period. ”

"Throughout the ages, only by changing the law to strengthen the country can the country and the people be safe, and the people can be safe; Throughout the development of history, generally speaking, the society is progressing, and the dynasties with strong comprehensive national strength are all seeking to change the law, promote the rapid rise of the country, and promote social progress. ”

Xu Xiake nodded solemnly, and then said: "However, the retrogression of historical development is also the norm, for example, in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Taizu followed the example of the Song Dynasty to establish the Ming Dynasty, resolutely investigate and punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, eliminate unhealthy trends such as unkindness to officials, strengthen army construction, strengthen centralized rule, and is equivalent to changing the law to establish the country." ”

King Xin said leisurely: "The early Ming Dynasty did achieve fruitful results, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the road was not left behind; However, with the high concentration of power, the government was controlled by a very small number of people, which seriously delayed the social development of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Song Dynasty had a small territory and a weak military, the overall economic strength of the Song Dynasty was very strong, and the agricultural tax of the Song Dynasty accounted for only 30%, and the rest was the tax of manufacturing, which was unique in the previous dynasties; It's just that too much emphasis on literature and light on military force led to the invasion of foreign enemies and the eventual destruction of the country. ”

Xu Xiake sighed: "Daming agricultural tax is the main body of national taxation, agricultural tax accounts for more than eighty percent, manufacturing is impossible to talk about, the commodity economy is almost none, there is no channel for circulation, completely self-produced and self-sold model." ”

King Xin shook his head and sighed: "The implementation of the sea ban in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to cutting off overseas trade, overseas trade is almost none, and the domestic economy is in a state of dead cycle, a pool of stagnant water; One of the most important reasons for the weakness of the Ming army is that there is no money to pay military salaries and corresponding research and development funds, which leads to the gradual decline of national strength, backward weapons and equipment of the army, and even guns without ammunition; Based on this, the Ming Dynasty must open up trade to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

Secondly, the population of the Ming Dynasty has decreased sharply, and the population base has declined sharply, which has led to the sharp decline in population The main reason for the sharp decline in population is the war, a large number of young and middle-aged people died on the battlefield, the ratio of men and women is seriously imbalanced, and the mortality rate is greater than the birth rate; As a result, the fertile land in the world is uncultivated, resulting in a shortage of domestic food; Over time, a vicious circle was formed, coupled with wars and chaos, and the people's taxes increased, so that the people were overwhelmed, and once natural and man-made disasters occurred, the world was in chaos.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to change the law and become stronger, it must not divide the ethnic population into different categories, abolish the hereditary system of peasants, craftsmen, soldiers and other professions, and the children and grandchildren of farmers, cooks, soldiers, blacksmiths, tailors and other professions can change occupations and realize a multi-ethnic community. ”

Xu Xiake looked at King Xin meaningfully, and said solemnly: "The reason why His Royal Highness established the Department of Commerce must be to open trade routes, expand trade exchanges, and restart the 'Silk Road', right?" ”

"Hmmm! It is not only necessary to restart the Silk Road and open the '******', but also to carry out a revolution in the manufacturing industry! King Xin nodded and said: "If you want to save the Ming Dynasty from the collapse of the building, you must revitalize the economy, open up trade routes, stimulate economic and trade development, fill the treasury, and the people will be safe when the country is rich. Internally, we must carry out reform and change! ”

"Innovation?" Xu Xiake was puzzled.

King Xin nodded and said: "Zheng He went to the West three times and achieved fruitful results, but the '******' has been cut off over the years, and there is no other reason than the decline of the navy and the lack of ocean-going navigation talents!" The basic reason for the loss of ocean-going capabilities lies in the stagnation and regression of the manufacturing industry! ”

The more Xu Xiake listened, the more shocked he became, and while sighing, a sense of powerlessness arose; Da Ming wants to change the law to become stronger, how difficult it is! Even if King Xin has great talent, how can he turn the tide? Let's not talk about the strong enemies outside the gate, just the few powerful figures above the court are far from being able to deal with King Xinwang now.
