Is it wrong for Zhu Kun to do this, why is Yang Cong unhappy?

If you start from the perspective of the imperial court, Zhu Kun is naturally right to do this, because the imperial court implements a maritime ban policy, but these people have fornicated with the Japanese and the red hair, and are prohibited from engaging in maritime trade, and they should indeed be beheaded according to the law.

However, proceeding from the actual situation on the southeast coast, Zhu Kun is too extreme in doing so, you must know that most of the merchants on the southeast coast are counting on maritime trade for profit, and Zhu Kun has dragged all the maritime merchants out and cut them down, and blocked the ports for trade, so that everyone will have no money to make.

Zhu Kun's approach, in essence, is not to promote the development of the Ming Dynasty, but to hinder the development of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Yang Cong will not be jealous of Zhu Kun because of this, after all, Zhu Kun's cognition is bound by this era, and he does not know the importance of maritime trade to the development of a country.

However, from the perspective of a wealthy maritime family, Zhu Kun is heinous in doing so.

Nearly 100 "cash cows" that they have worked hard for more than ten years to cultivate were cut down by Zhu Kun, and Zhu Kun is also ready to clean up their "old customers" and the widows, how can this work, they will really be wiped out by Zhu Kun, how will they make money in the future!

Cutting off people's financial means is tantamount to killing your parents!

At this time, the maritime tycoons had already formed an enmity with Zhu Kun, so they naturally had to find a way to clean up Zhu Kun.

However, at this time, their big backer Tu Qiao has stepped down, and they no longer have any power in the DPRK, how can they clean up a top feudal official like Zhu Kun?

It's very simple, find Yan Song!

Yan Song has always had interests with them, to put it bluntly, they have given Yan Song a lot of filial piety, and their jobs are going to be smashed at this time, so they naturally have to go to Yan Song for help.

So, why did Yan Song risk the world's disapproval to help them, after all, they were not relatives and friends, just exchanges of interests.

This problem is naturally difficult for the maritime giants, if there is no kinship, then go to the relatives, anyway, as long as there are enough interests, Yan Song's greed is famous.

On this day, not long after Youshi, Yan Song returned home, and the porter hurriedly walked in with a prayer post.

He took the post and saw that it was Zhao Wenhua, a member of the Criminal Department, who asked to see him.

He still has a little impression of this Zhao Wenhua, this person is a Jinshi in Jiajing's eighth year, although he is among the second class, he is ranked at the bottom, and he is just a little minion from the fifth grade at this time.

It stands to reason that he is a cabinet scholar, and there is no need to personally meet this kind of little minion from the fifth grade, but this Zhao Wenhua is different, because Zhao Wenhua is the son-in-law of Yuyao Xie and the rising star of the maritime tycoon.

Moreover, when Zhao Wenhua was studying in Guozijian, he happened to be the Guozijian sacrificial wine, and the two sides also had a teacher-student relationship.

He thought about it, and still ordered the porter to bring Zhao Wenhua in.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Zhao Wenhua must have come to the southeast this time, and Zhu Kun's "messing around" would definitely not be able to bear it.

However, he didn't expect that this time Zhao Wenhua not only wanted to ask him for help, but also wanted to have a relative with him!

After Zhao Wenhua came in, he first respectfully bowed to the teachers and students, and then chatted with Yan Song about family life.

This guy, that's really talking about family life, how poor his family was, how hard he worked hard, and how his parents supported him with hard work, as soon as he talked about it, it was endless, what a maritime tycoon, what Yuyao Xie didn't say a word.

Yan Song chatted with him for a while, and then he was a little impatient, you mother, eat too much or what's wrong, go here to chat with the old man, the old man looks very idle or what's wrong?

Zhao Wenhua saw the impatience on Yan Song's face, so he could only let go of this face, he secretly gritted his teeth, and then sighed falsely: "Teacher, the student is from a humble background and has a poor family, and this official path is really difficult, so the student wants to ask for a teacher with a cheeky face." ”

Your guy is still poor, who doesn't know that Yuyao Xie's family is wealthy, you want to be promoted, it's simple, pay the money, and the old man will guarantee that you will be prosperous.

Yan Song thought that this Zhao Wenhua was preparing to buy an official, so he pretended to sigh and said: "Alas, although the teacher is in charge of the ministry, but now the officialdom is difficult to change, and everything has to be opened with silver, alas, it is difficult to do it as a teacher." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wenhua suddenly stood up like a nervous disorder, knelt on the ground, and said solemnly: "Teacher, the student has the cheekiness to ask the teacher to accept him as a righteous son. ”

This!

Seeing this, Yan Song couldn't help but be stunned, this guy, what's the matter, why did he suddenly come here to worship his godfather?

It stands to reason that it is not difficult for this guy to be promoted, it is not a problem for a maritime tycoon like Yuyao Xie to come up with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, he just needs to "follow the step-by-step", and every time he has a big plan in Beijing, he will give the silver, and it only takes more than ten years to climb to the high position of the six Shangshu, which seems to be unnecessary to worship himself as a godfather, right?

He thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered, "In the future, the teacher will be sent, and the student will not dare to disobey." This means that it seems to be on behalf of the maritime giants to come to join ah!

At this time, although the maritime giants are not small, there are no heavyweights in the court, and they will definitely not be able to fight with Xia Yan and Zhu Kun, and if Zhu Kun continues to do this, their financial route will be cut off, and it is estimated that they are all anxious like ants on a hot pot at this time.

Is this guy really coming to join on behalf of a wealthy maritime family?

Thinking of this, he said tentatively: "You are Yuyao Xie's son-in-law, does Yuyao Xie's agree to this matter?" “

Zhao Wenhua nodded again and again: "Naturally, they have admired their mentor for a long time. ”

Sure enough, when Yan Song heard this, he couldn't help but ponder.

At this time, the maritime giants were forced by Zhu Yan to have no choice, they couldn't beat it, and the power in the court was not as good as Zhu Yan's backstage Xia Yan, they wanted to turn over, but they had to come to beg themselves.

If you promise them, then you have to fix Zhu Kun, is this matter worth it?

This Zhu Yan was brought up by Xia Yan, if he really let him exterminate the Japanese invaders, then Xia Yan's position would be stable, and it would be even more difficult for him to seize power.

In other words, killing Zhu Kun will also be beneficial to him, and he can also get the huge power of the maritime tycoon, why not do this kind of thing!

Thinking of this, he nodded slowly and said, "Well, since that's the case, then the old man will accept you as a righteous son." ”

When Zhao Wenhua heard this, he hurriedly said: "Thank you godfather, I don't know if the child has anything to do for his godfather." ”

What he meant, everyone tacitly agreed, since you have accepted the maritime giants, then Zhu Kun's matter please think of a way, and you can also put forward any requirements.

Yan Song pretended to be kind and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhen, you have been in the Criminal Department for several years, it just so happens that there is a vacancy in the right senator of the General Political Division, so you will go to the General Political Department to serve first, and you will be responsible for the inspection of the folds." ”

At this time, Yan Song didn't have anything to do with the maritime giants, but he remembered the last time Xia Yan suddenly pushed Zhu Kun up, but Xia Yan was in charge of the cabinet at this time, and there were some twists and turns, Xia Yan didn't show him, and he couldn't see it, and he was caught off guard by Zhu Yan's matter last time.

The reason why he transferred Zhao Wenhua to the General Administration Department was to let people go through the folds handed over first to see if there was anything unfavorable to him, because all the folds were passed to the General Administration Department first and then submitted to the palace.
