Xu Hongji felt that there was nothing wrong with his operation, and he had already strongly agreed to open the sea, and at the same time he also gave suggestions for solving the coastal defense problems raised by the civilian system, and this wave should be stable.

But when Xu Hongji quietly raised his head, he couldn't see anything from Emperor Chongzhen's face - it was still the same facial paralysis just now.

For the ministers in the court, Emperor Chongzhen, who had a full view of their reactions, did not mean to make a final decision at all.

The current controversy is just where it goes, and it's too boring to end too early, so it's better to watch a good show and spice up your mood.

Seeing that the ministers in the court stopped arguing because they had just asked Xu Hongji, Emperor Chongzhen turned his gaze to Xu Yushan, the first assistant of the Nanjing cabinet: "What does Xu Aiqing think about the sea ban?" ”

Xu Yushan bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Zhang Butang said is very true, the Francois is not peaceful, if the Francosis take advantage of the opportunity of my Ming Dynasty to take revenge, all the operations are the people of the Ming Dynasty, but it is not beautiful."

From this point of view, it is better to postpone the matter of opening the sea, and the matter of strengthening coastal defense as mentioned by the Duke of Wei can be carried out first, and then the sea can be opened when everything is safe, and the people will benefit and the world will benefit. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Xu Aiqing is also the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country. ”

After praising Xu Yushan, Emperor Chongzhen swept his gaze to the other ministers: "The rest of the Aiqing, do you have different opinions?" ”

For a moment, the ministers in the court felt a little confused.

praised Xu Yushan, and nodded in agreement with Xu Hongji, do you want to open the sea or not? Could it really be bluffed?

According to the past, this faint gentleman didn't open the sea if he wanted to, and he wouldn't ask the opinions of the big guys at all?

Now that he suddenly came out like this, what did he want to do?

Xu Hongji sneered in his heart, and did not observe the reaction of the courtiers again.

The emperor has always been close to us nobles, especially himself, who can be regarded as a sticky relative, and knows more news than these civil officials.

At the very least, the matter of opening the sea must be done, and it will not drag on for too long, otherwise, there will be no situation where the emperor will test himself in the next few days.

Of course, it can't be said to be a temptation, to be precise, it is a notice, or a reminder, Your Majesty's care is something you scum can understand?

Xu Hongji, who had already made up his mind, simply went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

I have orange hemp wheat husk don't know when pulp is not pulp?

Emperor Chongzhen's mind first came to this sentence, and then he nodded: "Xu Aiqing has something to say." ”

Xu Hongji bowed and said: "Your Majesty, when the Han Dynasty was martial in the past, the Xiongnu entered the Central Plains, and the Han Xiaowu Emperor ordered the champion Hou to expedition to Mobei, deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, the Fuxi River, the great curtain, the face of the Emperor, the royal court, the poor, the pursuit of the north, the wolf Juxu Mountain, Zen in Guyan, to the Hanhai, there was a Xiongnu shock, and the matter of seeking peace and kin.

Emperor Yongle, the ancestor of our dynasty, once said, the respect of the national power of our dynasty, beyond the ancient times, its control of the north and the west of the South Island, the Western Ocean, no Han harmony, no Tang alliance, no Song Dynasty's year-old coins, and no brothers' gifts of the enemy.

The minister thinks that the two fleets of the East China Sea and the South China Sea of the Ming Dynasty have many ships and strong soldiers, so they can divide a fleet to chase away the enemy of the Franco, destroy their country, and burn their ancestral temples. ”

Xu Yushan had just raised his finger and pointed at Xu Hongji and was about to spray, but suddenly heard the sound of clapping his hands from the dragon chair, and then Emperor Chongzhen's wanton laughter echoed in the main hall.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen stopped laughing and said: "I thought that my nobles of the Ming Dynasty had been raised as pigs, and they no longer had ambitions, and only those who were left to eat and wait for death remained.

Good! Xu Aiqing's words are good, let me know that my Ming nobles have not completely fallen! ”

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen simply stood up from the dragon chair, paced down from the top of the imperial steps, and shook in front of the ministers above the court, and then continued: "I tell you, no barbarian is innocent, since you dare to come to Daming to make trouble, you must be prepared not to go back!"

When I was in the capital, I once said to Xu Guangqi and Xu Aiqing, Kou can go, I can also go! ”

Ignoring the bowing posture of many ministers in the palace, Emperor Chongzhen stopped in front of Xu Yushan: "What is Aiqing afraid of?" Afraid that the barbarians will disturb the coast? If my Ming South China Sea Fleet goes on an expedition to the Franco, what energy does the Franco-Aircraft barbarian have to disturb my Daming? ”

Xu Yushan bowed down and responded: "Your Majesty's words are very true, but the ministers have heard that they have been thieves for a thousand days, but they have not heard of a thief for a thousand days."

My Ming sea frontier is extremely vast, and the coastal people are even more numerous, if the barbarians attack the sea frontier to retaliate, won't it be my Ming people who suffer? ”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered and asked, "If you slaughter all the barbarians, can anyone still attack and disturb my Daming Sea Frontier?" ”

Xu Yushan continued: "The minister hears that the ominous weapon of the soldier is not the weapon of the gentleman, so it has to be used as a last resort, and tranquility is the best. Victory is not beautiful, and the beauty is happy to kill. Those who kill people will not be able to achieve the world's ambitions. ”

Emperor Chongzhen simply laughed twice: "Good things are still left, and evil things are still right; The general is on the left, and the general is on the right. Words are funeral treatments. The murderers come to them with sorrow; Victory, funeral punishment.

What about this sentence? Xianggong Fu IX's hatred and the words of the Spring and Autumn Period, I have been in the Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years, how many people have mentioned it? What does Xu Aiqing think? ”

Xu Yushan's heart suddenly burst out, and he secretly said that it was not good.

When today's reputation in Shilin has never been very good, it not only refers to the emperor's dislike of Confucianism, but also the reputation of this master who does not learn and has no skills, and is good at talking about crooked reasoning - many people don't understand that the original Donglin Party would praise this son of heaven for being studious?

I mentioned it myself, it is a paragraph in the thirty-first article of "Lao Tzu", and this master replied to the second half of the sentence that he did not finish, and at the same time brought out the enmity of Xianggong Fu IX in Confucianism.

was thinking about it, but I heard Emperor Chongzhen continue: "You don't see it, the Confucianism swarms the strong man and dies, and Shenzhou will boast of benevolence and righteousness from now on." Once the Central Plains was chaotic, the scholars ran to the cowardly people and wept. In ancient times, benevolence and virtue were exclusive to harming people, and morality has never been true. ”

After reading these nondescript verses of Emperor Chongzhen, Xu Yushan only felt that his back was already soaked.

Even the word "Confucianism" is used, how big is this master's opinion on the famous religion in his heart!

Forget it, your family's business can be done as it is, and these benefits at sea can be as good as it is.

Business matters, official positions are even more important, and dogs' lives are the most important!

Bowing again, Xu Yushan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the minister is confused for a while, I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was not too much, but paced in front of Xu Hongji, the leader of the Nanjing Military Government, and said with a smile: "Zuo Xiangguo, Ren Zhengju general, Wuning Zhongshan King Xu Dazhong and deputy general Zhongwu Kaiping King Chang Yuchun waved the Northern Expedition together, attacked the capital in the first year of Hongwu, and overthrew the pseudo-Yuan.

After that, he sent troops to fight against the remnants of the puppet Yuan for many years, and the official was the Taifu, the right prime minister of Zhongshu, the young master of the prince who joined the army, and was named the Duke of Wei.

After the death of Hongwu in the eighteenth year, he posthumously crowned the king of Zhongshan, gave Wu Ning, buried the Yin of Zhongshan, and made the Shinto inscription. and deserves to enjoy the Taimiao, the portrait of the hero temple, can be called my first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I am right? ”

Xu Hongji said with red eyes: "Your Majesty has won the award, and the ancestors of the ministers have knowledge, and they should also be grateful for Your Majesty's holy grace!" ”

Everyone is a actor, this eye is red, it's so fast!

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Why should the descendants be inferior to the ancestors? The ancestors have made immortal achievements, and the future generations should take them as an example and forge ahead more.

I am grateful to the British Duke Zhang Fu for dying in the battle of Tumu Fort, and has already promised the British Duke to open the country overseas, so does the Duke of Wei not have this ambition? ”

Without waiting for Xu Hongji to answer, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Don't worry about what birds are hiding rabbits and dead dogs, I don't care about it." Wei Zhongxian is loyal to the emperor's brother and loyal to me, isn't he also honored now?

Don't worry about what merit is high, it is difficult to reward merit, but I can afford it! The overseas land is vast, even if the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Dingguo are allowed to open the country overseas? ”

Xu Hongji simply knelt down on one knee and said: "The minister is willing to die for His Majesty!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care how sincere Xu Hongji is, anyway, these words have been said today, there are so many people in the court, the words will always be spread, as long as there is one believer, then there is one more diehard.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply returned to the top of the imperial steps, but instead of sitting back on the dragon chair, he smiled and said: "When I was in the capital, I said in advance, the honorable generals can get overseas fiefs by merit, and civil officials can exchange their fiefs for merit and gold and silver. ”

Don't care how many people believe it, don't care if a few people don't believe it, in short, Emperor Chongzhen's words came out, and this is true.

For a while, the civil and military ministers in the court all knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

After shouting lightly, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "After talking about it for a long time, let's go back to the previous topic, what do you think about the opening of the sea?" ”

Xu Hongji was the first to go out and said: "The ministers please open the sea ban in Fujian, and the sea ban in Guangdong should be postponed, and the sea will be opened after the coastal defense of Guangdong is perfected." ”

After thinking about it, in order to prevent Emperor Chongzhen from mistakenly thinking that he had instigated or betrayed the civil officials, Xu Hongji simply continued: "The minister is willing to take half a year, if he can't improve the coastal defense of Guangdong within half a year, the minister is willing to apologize with death!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with a smile, and turned his gaze to Xu Yushan: "What does Xu Aiqing think?" ”

Xu Yushan still didn't have the courage to say another word.

Sitting in the position of the first assistant of the Nanjing cabinet basically means that the road to officialdom has reached its peak, and the possibility of further progress is almost zero.

Unless the cabinet of the capital is suddenly killed by Emperor Chongzhen and there is no backup candidate, he has no hope of entering the cabinet of the capital at all, and those guys in the cabinet of the capital will not be of the same mind as him.

The official road to the top, the rest of the way can only make more silver, but how much silver to make is not the key, the key is to have a life to spend.

In the three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, except for Emperor Taizu Hongwu, who founded the country, no emperor has such a heavy murderous intent as Emperor Chongzhen.

In order to save his life, and even more for the ethereal overseas fiefdom, Xu Yushan also bowed down and said: "The minister is in favor of opening the sea." ”

This time, without waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to ask again, the ministers in the court all bowed down and said: "The ministers are in favor of opening the sea!" ”

The voice in favor of opening the sea echoed in the main hall, and Emperor Chongzhen also said with a smile: "Since all of you Aiqing are in favor of the proposal to open the sea, then open it."

The cabinet, the ministries, the Dali Temple, and the Honglu Temple discussed how to open the sea, where to set up the customs, and how to collect the taxes on the sea. ”

After the ministers bowed down, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "In addition, I have another matter that I want to discuss with all Aiqing.

I intend to reset the reserve warehouse set up by Emperor Taizu Gao, and set it up in the four towns and the city. ”

No, it's actually a matter of snatching money from everyone's pockets.

To put it bluntly, the advantage of being an official is that the big guy has an official status, and it is relatively easy to get land.

If you have land, you will have food, and if you sell grain at a low price in a disaster year, you will simply be sorry for your conscience.

And the preparation warehouse is really too tricky, and I don't know how the cowherd baby came up with such a bad trick - send official money to buy grain for relief, borrow money from the people in the famine year, and repay it in the autumn.

Emperor Chongzhen also had to take the treasury and the silver from the treasury to buy food, which is good for the big guys - anyway, the silver can fall into the pocket.

But things are different now.

In the past, the treasury had no money, but if anyone is stupid and thinks that the current treasury and internal treasury have no money, they are real fools!

If Emperor Chongzhen really restored the reserve warehouse, it would really kill people.

Buying grain in a good year and lending food to the people in a disaster year is more clever than Emperor Chongzhen's simple disaster relief.

At the very least, as long as there is food in this warehouse, the people don't have to worry about going hungry, and they don't have to worry about the people being raised as lazy.

Emperor Chongzhen took in the performance of the ministers in the palace, but he didn't speak, but he felt a little chilled.

It is self-evident whose interests will be hurt by the reserve warehouse - it is these civil and military ministers in the court who are constantly making money from the sea and commerce.

For the land and grain in the hands of these men are also very staggering.

But it is impossible not to collect grain, at least I will not stop collecting grain in my life - who knows how long this damn Xiaoice period will pass?

In the past, everyone was happy, and it was really hard to say what would happen to the people who couldn't get over and couldn't eat.

Xu Hongji was about to go out of class to shout that the minister seconded the proposal, but he heard a shout from outside the hall: "Good news from the East China Sea Fleet!" ”
