Jingshi West Garden, Wanshou Palace.

Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi looked at a piece of good news in his hand and was very excited.

The good news was sent by the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Zhu Kun, who ordered someone to send it urgently, and the general political envoy did not dare to delay and hurriedly sent someone to Xiyuan, and copied a copy and sent it to the cabinet.

If Zhu Houxi was not mistaken, Yan Song should also be on the way to Xiyuan.

Zhu Houxi was naturally very proud.

Zhu Kun was the governor of Zhejiang appointed by him, and was later promoted to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang for his merits.

It turns out that he really didn't see the wrong person. Zhu Kun not only destroyed the pirates of the Japanese and the Franc machine, but even uprooted their stronghold for many years - Shuangyu Island in one fell swoop.

Of course, in addition to his insight into talents, the victory on Shuangyu Island also proves one point - Daming Sailor is really invincible in the world!

Emperor Jiajing reigned in the past twenty-seven years, and thought that his martial arts were comparable to those of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestor.

It was only this southeast sea disaster that bothered him.

To say that the sea ban is really a national policy promoted by Emperor Taizu.

In the third year of Hongwu, he dismissed Taicang Huangdu City.

In the seventh year of Hongwu, the three cities of Quanzhou in Fujian, Mingzhou in Zhejiang, and Guangzhou in Guangdong were abolished.

In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu personally issued an edict to prohibit the people of the coastal sea from forbidding overseas countries.

It is even stipulated that if the traitors and the military and civilians build illegal ships with more than three masts without permission, they will take the prohibited goods to the sea, go to the country to buy and sell, infiltrate the pirates, conspire to gather, and plunder the good people as a guide, and the offender will be punished according to his own law, and he will still show his head to the public, and the whole family will send border guards to fill the army. It built the sea ships mentioned above, sold them to those who made profits, and compared them with those who went to sea with forbidden weapons, so they leaked the law of military intelligence, beheaded those who were beheaded, and sent the army to the servants to the side.

In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, the imperial court prohibits the use and trading of imported incense, goods and other things. Those who dare to have private mutual markets, must be placed in the heavy law, all incense, goods are not allowed to sell, and the existing ones are limited to three months to sell out.

Even Emperor Taizu set "not allowed to go to the sea" as the continuation of the ancestral teaching.

In the Yongle and Xuande periods, except for Zheng He's voyage to the West, which represented the political interests of the Ming court, the sea ban was still strict.

When Zhu Houxi ascended the throne, the "battle for tribute" broke out in Ningbo soon after.

Zhu Houxi then ordered to change the Japanese exploration trade to one tribute for ten years.

But this does not seem to have made the disease better, but has become more and more serious.

More and more Japanese Japanese people came to the coast of Daming and began smuggling.

In the nineteenth year of Jiajing, the Franco machine began to move to Shuangyu Port in large numbers. In one year, they built more than 1,000 houses in the area. Since then, the influence of the Francophile in Shuangyu Port has become more and more great, and the Japanese and local pirates have wantonly smuggled and traded, treating the Ming court as nothing.

Shuangyu has become a country within a country.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Zhu Houxi, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

In the 26th year of Jiajing, Yang Jiuze, who inspected the imperial history of Zhejiang, said bluntly: "Zhejiang's Ning, Shao, Tai, and Wenzhou are all pillow mountains and seas, and even extend Fujian's Fu, Xing, Quan, Zhang, and Zhujun counties, and there are troubles from time to time. The pirates are impermanent, the bureaucrats of the two provinces are not in harmony, and it is difficult to draw a single method of control. ”

Yang Jiuze asked Emperor Jiajing to reinstate the inspection ministers on this ground.

Zhu Houxi thought that what Yang Jiuze said was very reasonable, so he ordered Zhu Kun to "have jurisdiction over Fujian's Fu, Xing, Jian, Ning, Quan, Zhang, and other places, and supervise military affairs." ”

Only then did Zhu Kun make drastic efforts to rectify coastal defense, and only then did he have today's great victory in Shuangyu.

As the Son of Heaven, he inherits the will of the heavens and looks down on the ministers and the people.

Emperor Jiajing naturally gave birth to a feeling that all parties have merit and merit.

In his opinion, although Zhu Kun is very capable, it is also the result of his trust and promotion.

So this Shuangyu victory has at least half of his credit.

Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with the great power policy of the sea ban.

These pirates seem to be arrogant, but in fact they are a group of rabble, aren't they all scattered by a single blow?

Just when Emperor Jiajing was complacent, the inner servant came to report that Yan Ge Lao had arrived outside the palace gate and asked to face the saint.

Emperor Jiajing said without a trace of emotion: "Call him in." ”

He removed the smile from his face, and became the majestic monarch again.

After Emperor Jiajing sat down on the throne, Yan Song entered the palace.

Although he was sixty-eight years old and was the head of the cabinet, he did not have the slightest intention of disobeying the number of courtesies, and came to Emperor Jiajing to push the golden mountain and pour the jade pillar to bow down.

Emperor Jiajing saw Yan Song burying his head under his body, his buttocks rising high, and he looked respectful, and he was very proud in his heart.

Xia Yan and Yan Song are very capable, and the reason why Emperor Jiajing prefers Yan Song is because Yan Song knows how to be polite.

And Xia Yan was proud of his achievements, and he swelled to the point that the number of etiquette was incomplete in the later period.

This made Emperor Jiajing wonder who was in charge of the Ming Dynasty?

It was Emperor Jiajing who decided to replace Xia Yan with Yan Song, and the matter of Hetao was just an opportunity.

"Yan Ge is flat."

Emperor Jiajing raised his hand and said with majesty.

"The old minister thanked Your Majesty."

Yan Song stood up tremblingly, and waited respectfully with his hands tied to the side.

"Elder Yan Ge has already seen this Shuangyu good news, right?"

Emperor Jiajing picked up the good news and asked in a deep voice.

"The old minister has already seen the copy. Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. The Daming Naval Division is invincible in the world, and the southeast is not appeased. ”

Yan Song is the first assistant of the cabinet, and it stands to reason that the general cabinet has to vote first to draft opinions.

And the good news, which is a very special kind of report, is directly reported to the Son of Heaven by the Department of General Administration.

However, as is customary, a copy is sent to the Cabinet.

It was Yan Song who had seen the good news before coming to Xiyuan to face the saint, and there were no problems in the process.

"Zhu Kun is a capable minister, and he didn't disappoint me."

As soon as Emperor Jiajing's words fell, Yan Song continued: "This is all the credit of Your Majesty's knowledge of people and good duties. ”

Although he knew that Yan Song was patting on the back, Emperor Jiajing just felt very comfortable.

He nodded and said, "After this battle, the Daming Sailor was very powerful. Zhu Kun has contributed to the community and should be rewarded. ”

Yan Songlian claimed that it was.

"According to the opinion of the elder of Yan Ge, how should I reward it?"

Emperor Jiajing asked unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty, according to the rules, it should be discussed by the Jiuqing court, and the old minister does not dare to speak falsely."

Emperor Jiajing bowed slightly: "In this case, the elder of Yan Ge will preside over the court meeting, and let's get a charter first." ”

"The old minister obeys."

Yan Song hurriedly responded.

"The water falls and there are still Qin Dynasty stones, and the tide does not see the Han Dynasty. Knowing the vast expanse of hundreds of countries, I dare not forget the danger of the years. ”

Emperor Jiajing suddenly chanted a poem, and Yan Song was stunned when he heard it.

This poem is attached to the last of Zhu Su. I will also send it to Yan Ge Lao, and the monarch and the ministers will encourage him. ”

"The old minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's teachings!"

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Son of Heaven, Yan Song still responded as soon as possible.
