Fortunately, Yun Xi usually didn't like to ask the palace maids who served them, what they usually said, and the palace maids selected by Xi Yao to serve them were all strict-mouthed, otherwise Yun Xi might really beat them up if he knew what they said. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The next day's morning court Yunxi also participated. When Lao Zhu circulated Yunxi's excerpt to the ministers, the traditional Confucian disciples led by Zheng Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, really opposed it. Of course, they knew that it would be useless for them to oppose the matter that Lao Zhu had approved, and they might even be belittled, but I have to say that although the literati doctors at this time sometimes insisted on being wrong, they still had a backbone, unlike most scholars and doctors from the late Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, who were soft-boned.

And the reason why the literati and doctors at this time had a strong backbone, and the rule of Meng Yuan had a certain effect. During the Mengyuan and Yuan dynasties, the Han people took the imperial examination of little significance, not only the most difficult examination in the previous dynasties, but also did not like the Manchu Dynasty when they could become a big official, so there were few people who read and even fewer who were willing to read Confucian classics. And in this context, those who are willing to gnaw on the Confucian classics really agree with Confucianism, not those who only use this as a stepping stone later. Therefore, the Confucian children at this time all had a backbone.

Zheng Yi, as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, of course can't say too much, at this time, Fang Xiaoru, who was still in Bashu as the prince of the king of Shu, and the current editor of the Hanlin Academy, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Fang Si'an is under Si'an today, and Your Majesty has always lived with the people's livelihood, why do you need a businessman?" Merchants do not produce to resell for profit, they are one of the five beetles, and it is inconvenient for the people in the countryside to enter the city, so they merchants do some small business in the countryside, how can they give them such a profit-making thing? ”

"And I'm rich all over the world, how can I communicate with Fanguo? That is, if you have a little to ask for, you can pay tribute. What does Your Highness think? The original essence finally looked at Yun Xi.

Yun Xi was just about to speak, when someone suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should open the sea market." ”

Lao Zhu, Yun Xi, and most of the officials present all looked at this person. 'It's Yang Yi, isn't he Li Jinglong's person? Why did Li Jinglong agree to open the sea to trade? Yun Xi thought.

Yun Xi became nervous, if Li Jinglong had any ulterior ideas, Lao Zhu would probably no longer support Kaihai, this would not work!

Who knew that Yang Yi said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that a few businessmen are just making a few money, and they can still endanger the local government?" It's the original editor, I just saw that you didn't even look at His Highness's recital, and I guess you didn't even see what His Highness wrote and spoke in a hurry, isn't this not very respectful? ”

Yun Xi suddenly had a question mark in his head? Yang Yi's words don't sound like he is refuting the view of the original essence, but attacking the original person, he is because he didn't think of the word for a while, or what?

However, Lao Zhu and some other ministers who have been in the DPRK for a long time know why, Yang Yi is not in favor of opening the sea at all, but simply opposing it for the sake of opposing the original essence. This has to talk about the early years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

In the early years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the officials above the fifth grade in the capital, whether they were civil or military, sixty percent were Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown Huaixi, and the second major faction was the Zhedong group headed by Liu Ji.

Yang Yi, as a native of Dingyuan, is also a member of the Huaixi Group, and the original essence is Song Lian's apprentice, a native of eastern Zhejiang. Yang Yi took office very early, Hongwu was an official in the early years of the court, Hongwu was sent to the local area as a commander for more than ten years, and only recently returned to the capital, so he remembered especially new in the last dynasty when the two factions tore each other apart. Today, when I saw the original essence, I saw that Lao Zhu seemed to agree with the opening of the sea, and unconsciously came up to refute the original essence.

But after Yang Yi finished speaking, he knew that he shouldn't speak, the current court is very different from twenty years ago, and there is no such a clear faction, so he really shouldn't speak rashly. At this time, Lao Zhu said: "Yang Yi, you have been in the place for a long time, and you don't know the affairs of the capital, it is inevitable that there will be places where you don't know anything, so let's step back." ”

Yang Yi hurriedly retreated. In his heart, he was still afraid that Lao Zhu would deal with him afterwards. However, Lao Zhu will not easily move Xun Gui now, and Lao Zhu understands Yang Yi and will not dispose of him.

Yun Xi stepped forward and said the reason he came up with yesterday to 'let more people of Fanguo get the civilization of my Ming Dynasty', which suddenly made the rebuttal reason prepared by these Confucian disciples unable to speak.

At this time, Huang Kui, the head of the household department, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness's advice is very good, in order to let more people of Fanguo get the civilization of my Ming Dynasty, the minister thinks that the sea should be opened." ”

Others thought that Huang Kui really thought so, but Lao Zhu, who was sitting on the throne, sneered in his heart: Although Huang Kui himself is from Haimen County, he has a distant relative who is from Shanghu County, and Huang Kui's family is poor, and the money for studying is funded by relatives, so of course he will support Kaihai trade here.

However, Lao Zhu also wants to open the sea, so he won't talk about him. But Lao Zhu has already decided: in the future, for those who are from their hometown or have relatives in the county where the city is located, they must make a special record, and they must know who will speak for the businessman.

Then a few more Confucian disciples came out to put forward different opinions, and Yun Xi refuted them one by one. Seeing that no one of the civil and military officials present raised any more objections, he announced: "Then the matter of establishing the city department is done." Just wait to follow the example of the previous dynasty, set the rules, and officially decree the opening of the sea and trade. "This matter has passed like this, even if there are no people who have not been to the court today want to refute it, it is useless, since Lao Zhu has officially spoken, he will not change it.

Next, Ru Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, took out a letter and said: "Your Majesty, yesterday's excerpt on the Changxing Marquis in Chu County (now Mian County, Hanzhong City, Sanqin Province) has arrived, and the report has already caught the anti-thief White Lotus Sect demon Tian Jiucheng and asked Your Majesty how to deal with it. ”

Lao Zhu said: "Caught Tian Jiucheng? ordered Geng Bingwen to be executed on the spot. All the captured White Lotus Cult demons, and their relatives, were all put to death; The people who were bewitched by the demons of the White Lotus Sect were exiled to Liaodong, and they were not pardoned. ”

The reason for the matter is this: in the first month of the thirtieth year of Hongwu, Gao Fuxing, a believer of the White Lotus Sect who hid in the county government of Chuxian County, rebelled with Tian Jiucheng and Wang Jingangnu, and successively captured many county seats, and bewitched the people of Shaanxi and Shu to respond. After Lao Zhu learned about it, he ordered Geng Bingwen to be the main commander and send the Sanqin and Bashu armies to encircle and suppress. He also ordered Shang Bing, the king of Qin, to train his soldiers and soldiers, and patrol Luo at all times to prepare for the unexpected.

Geng Bingwen dispatched 15,000 soldiers to General Wu Wang, the commander of Shaanxi, and 18,000 troops to General Yu Qi, the commander of Sichuan. By the first day of September, Fuxing had nothing to do and was captured. In addition, Wang Bowei, Chen Miaogui, Yang Wengao, Master Wang, Liu Pucheng, etc., were caught and killed. He stayed in Sichuan and commanded Tongzhi Zhao Xing to hunt down Tian Jiucheng and Chen Ershe.

To be honest, although the White Lotus rebellion is only about fifty or sixty words in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", it is much larger than the well-known Tang Sai'er rebellion in the Yongle period, which is written in the history books and is widely known, and the Ming Dynasty has sent 40,000 or 50,000 troops, and alarmed more than 100,000 troops of the Bashu and Sanqin generations, and it took nearly a year to pacify. And Tang Sai'er's rebellion only sent thousands of troops and a few guards to guard against it, and it only took two or three months to put it down.

Now Tian Jiucheng and Chen Ershe have also been captured, and only Wang Jingangnu is still at large. The whole court attached great importance to the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, and there was no doubt or opposition to Lao Zhu's order.

Lao Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "Order Geng Bingwen to return to Beijing, continue to leave Zhao Xing to search for Wang Jingangnu and others in Hanzhong, and check whether there are still demons of the White Lotus Sect in the local area who have not been discovered." ”

Ru Yu, the secretary of the military department, and Xu Huizu, the governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, responded: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Then Chen Di, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, reported in a letter: "Your Majesty, after receiving the letter from Liaodong, the soldiers of the Korean State crossed the Yalu River and plundered, and the people belonging to my Ming Nuer Gandu Division were harassed by it several times. ”

Sun Ke, the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, came out and said: "Since the 25th year of Hongwu, His Majesty allowed him to be a vassal state, and North Korea has repeatedly provoked and often crossed the river to harass, so I should send troops to fight them once and let them know the rules of the vassal state." ”

At this time, Korea was not the first feudal state of the Ming Dynasty, and its army was still combative, and it had fought off several Japanese invasions alone. And at this time, they still had ideas about the land of Liaodong, so they often crossed the border and harassed several times, and the Han people did not dare to move, so they moved the people. Once the Yimin found out that the Ming did not protect them, they would throw themselves under Korean rule, so that the territory of the DPRK would cross the Yalu River.

Of course, Lao Zhu was very unhappy that someone dared to provoke like this, but he felt that his body had become more and more tired since the beginning of this year, and he did not have much energy, so he pursued 'more things are better than less things'. So Lao Zhu said: "No! Step aside. Sun Ke could only retreat.

After that, someone wrote a book to report other things, all of which were daily trivialities. After a while, no one said anything more, and Lao Zhu announced his next court.

===========================================================

In Zheng County, at this time, in a restaurant in the county town that entertained people who were not wealthy, three big men sat at a table. The three of them asked for a total of one meat, one vegetarian, two hot dishes, and a cold dish, and sat on the chairs and ate them with relish.

The guy who had just finished serving them a meal said to the other guy: "Wang Er, these three people are so strange, one speaks the Heyan dialect, and it is the accent of Kaifeng; One seems to be speaking from our side, but if you listen carefully, it has a Sanqin accent from Chang'an, and it's not that the locals can't hear it at all; There is also a dialect of Huguang, or the north of Huguang. These three people don't look like businessmen, how can they get together? It's weird. ”
