Zhang Juzheng heard that Longqing did not intend to hold Zhang Fan responsible, so he didn't do anything more in this matter.

Several other people too, even Gao Gong because of Xu Jie's matter, although that matter now seems to be Gao Gong won, the imperial court has recently begun to investigate Xu Jie, but Gao Gong still began to hate Zhang Fan a little, just now he felt that this was a good opportunity to impeach Zhang Fan, but as soon as Long Qing said this, he immediately gave up, obviously, Long Qing would say this must have forgiven Zhang Fan's behavior, and even Zhang Fan's behavior was allowed by Longqing.

But now is not the time to think about this, the current big things, we still have to care about the right things.

"Your Majesty, judging from the excerpt handed over by Lord Zhang, this matter is really big or small," after all, the main purpose of Zhang Fan's excerpt is to ask the imperial court to agree to send warships to sea to protect the returning merchant ships, Tan Lun naturally has to speak first, "If you look at it smaller, this matter is just a rebellion by the Japanese invaders, although Wei Chen is an official of the imperial court, but he can't help but say that the casualties are too small, the only difference is that the Japanese invaders did not sail ashore to plunder this time, but directly attacked the lonely and helpless merchant ships at sea, If this is just a whim of the Japanese invaders, it would be a bit too much to let the imperial court send warships.

"It's just that if this matter is too big, it will not be ordinary, if this is a new plunder method that the Japanese have come up with because I have allowed merchant ships to go to sea and open the ocean, this matter must be paid attention to, if it is not guarded again, it is inevitable that there will be a scene like the Wang Zhi Rebellion,"

Tan Lun's words were reasonable, but the few people present, including Long Qing, frowned when they heard it.

The Wang Zhi Rebellion has only been ten years in the past, and those days are not far away from everyone's memory.

In the nineteenth year of Jiajing, Wang Zhi and several accomplices built sea ships in Guangdong, and despite the strict order of the imperial court, he still trafficked in prohibited items such as gunrate silk cotton to Japan, Siam and Western countries to make huge profits.

After Wang Zhi's companions were all caught, Wang Zhi did not have the slightest fear, but set up his own ship, recruited outlaws, and even Japanese criminals as his subordinates, built his own giant ship, became the leader of a large armed maritime group at that time, and based on Matsuura Tsuwei in Satsuma Prefecture, Japan.

After that, Wang Zhi's power became bigger and bigger, and his courage became bigger and bigger, as long as it was something involving the ocean, he didn't dare to do it, the court ordered it many times to be cleared, and the matter even alarmed the government and the opposition, and even one of them didn't care much about state affairs, only knew that Emperor Jiajing, who guarded his throne, knew.

In the end, it was the Zhejiang Patrol at that time who entrapped Wang Zhi according to the imperial history Hu Zongxian's envoy strategy, which captured the king of pirates who had been crisscrossing the sea for decades, and Hu Zongxian was promoted to the imperial envoy of Zuo Du by virtue of this merit.

Now that only ten years have passed since the Wang Zhi Rebellion, the memory left in everyone's minds is still very clear, as soon as Tan Lun mentioned this name, the expressions of several people, including Long Qing, immediately became solemn, and they immediately imagined it in their minds.

"Lord Tan cares about the safety of the world, and it is indeed exemplary, but is Lord Tan a little too alarmist," Gao Gong came back to his senses and was the first to speak, "The most important thing that Wang Zhi's rebellion could have such a great impact back then was Wang Zhi's person, he had financial resources, and his brain was also very flexible, and the most important thing was that he had some housekeepers on Fusang Island to help, but now the people who are making trouble are just some groups of three or five pirates, they are just small fights, but they can't become any climate."

"Wei Chen still remembers that since Wang Zhifu Fa, the Japanese have no leader, and the Japanese have become serious, but they are just a small fight, and they were quickly pacified by Lord Qi, and now these Japanese robbers have no leading figures, it must be difficult to become a climate, why should Lord Tan be so alarmed,"

Gao Gong didn't think about the situation that Tan Lun said, but he didn't know what's wrong, he just didn't want to agree with this point of view, maybe it was because of Zhang Fan's excerpt and asking for war.

Tan Lun listened to Gao Gong's words, and was very unhappy in his heart: "I don't object to your Gao Gong's attack on political enemies, but you actually make a fuss about this kind of thing, it's really too much," Thinking of the consequences, Tan Lun hated Gao Gong for misleading the country, but Tan Lun was upright and upright, but he was not that kind of reckless man, knowing that if he offended Gao Gong, he would definitely make a stumbling block for himself, he didn't have too much attachment to his reputation and official position, but in that case, his ambitions would have nowhere to show, thinking of these, Tan Lun didn't plan to reason with Gao Gong about anything, but just said: "What Lord Gao said is that Xia Guan just said the possibility of this matter for His Majesty's reference, and has no other meaning, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me,"

Long Qing listened to the conversation between the two, and he didn't know what to do, he was not an emperor who had passed down the world, if that was the case, he had already made a decision, where was the need to call these people to discuss, so he listened to the words of the two and felt that both of them had some sense.

When he heard Tan Lun mention the word Wang Zhi just now, Longqing was indeed startled, Wang Zhi was very clear about what happened back then, after he sat on the throne, he even specifically checked the things about Wang Zhi back then, and he knew more than Tan Lun, Wang Zhi's matter surprised Longqing the most, his father Emperor Jiajing actually let go of the unremitting surveillance of himself because of Wang Zhi's matter, which made Longqing not surprised, after he listened to Tan Lun's words just now, He even wanted to immediately issue an order to send warships to clear all threats from the sea.

But Gao Gong's words, which followed closely behind Tan Lun, made Longqing change his mind, yes, this matter is just as Gao Gong said, in fact, it is just a trivial matter, why take it so seriously, Longqing is also an emperor, if he is just because of a few Japanese gangsters, it will inevitably be too petty.

Long Qing hesitated for a long time and couldn't make up his mind, so he asked: "Tan Aiqing, you also participated in politics in Fujian, you should be familiar with the situation there, tell me about it,"

"Your Majesty, if we talk about scattered Japanese raids, Fujian has suffered the heaviest, and the Japanese have no big ships, and they only take small boats, and it is precisely because of this that Fujian has been the most severely affected," Tan Lun listened to Long Qing's instructions and immediately said, "Fujian is the closest to Xiaoliuqiu, and many Japanese robbers are mostly from Ryukyu, and they come to Fujian to plunder along the coast after a short stop in Xiaoliuqiu, because of the short distance, even in Guangdong and Zhejiang.

"In other places, such as Jiangsu and Shandong, there are very few scattered Japanese pirates, and some of them are mostly many Japanese pirates who take large ships ashore to plunder, although the losses caused are quite large, but it is also convenient to exterminate them, but on the contrary, such scattered Japanese pirates in Fujian are tireless and difficult to exterminate."

As soon as Tan Lun's words fell, Long Qing didn't have time to think about it, but Zhang Juzheng stood up first: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that warships should be sent to sea to escort merchant ships in this matter,"

Where did Gao Gong allow Zhang Juzheng to speak, and immediately came out and said: "What does Master Zhang mean by this, he even wants to make the teacher move the people because of such a trivial matter,"

"It's not that the army is moving, but now that the people of our dynasty are in trouble, and the Japanese are directly attacking the sea ships at sea, it is impossible to prevent it," Zhang Juzheng did not say anything to Gao Gong, but just explained the facts.

"People," Gao Gong seemed to scoff at these two words, "these are all those profit-seeking businessmen who seek themselves, Shinong businessmen, businessmen are at the bottom of the list, profit-seeking and untrustworthy, and now these people don't even want their lives, they only care about money, except for the things they didn't ask for themselves, if they don't go to sea, how can they encounter such an isolated and helpless situation,"

"Lord Gao's words are wrong," Zhang Juzheng immediately retorted, "Yes, Shinong Industry and Commerce, businessmen are at the bottom of the list, but Lord Gao seems to have forgotten that these people were already my Ming people before they were born and before they became merchants, and now the people are in trouble, but the court does not make decisions for them, so what is the matter of the people,"

Zhang Juzheng's words were not loud, but they were reasonable, and Gao Gong was originally because of a momentary mood, but now he doesn't know how to refute it.

Seeing that Longqing was still a little undecided, Zhang Juzheng decided to add to the fire: "What's more, the taxes and silver that these merchants pay to the court every year are all exchanged for their lives, and the taxes reported by the household department every year, even if they pay more, they will not have their names on it, and now that they are in trouble, is the court so cold to watch and don't ask about it?"

These words can be regarded as grasping Longqing's weakness, as the so-called father must have his son, in fact, the reverse is almost the same, Zhu Yijun loves money so much, Longqing is not bad, although Longqing likes women, but it is also inseparable from luxury enjoyment, and all of this requires silver, when he first ascended the throne, Longqing found that the tax of the Ming Dynasty was too little, coupled with the serious annexation of land by the powerful in various places, and the Ming Dynasty has never collected the tax of merchants since the founding of the country, Longqing can not be too extravagant by relying on his own inner treasury, And he was embarrassed to ask the treasury for money, so he had to think of a way to switch and collect taxes, not to mention, in the first year after the switch, Longqing was overjoyed by his decision for a while, so much money was enough for his own use.

Thinking of this, Long Qing no longer hesitated: "I have made up my mind, and I will allow Fujian's warships to go to sea to escort the merchant ships returning to the sea," Seeing that Gao Gong wanted to say something, Long Qing added: "This matter is done like this, there is no need to discuss it again," and turned around and left after speaking.

Seeing Long Qing leaving, Gao Gong, who was a little annoyed and angry, glared at Zhang Juzheng fiercely, turned around and left, and Guo Pu also left after him.

Tan Lun looked at Zhang Juzheng with a good feeling, only Li Chunfang looked at Zhang Juzheng with some meaning in his eyes, but he never said anything.

Zhang Juzheng looked at the sky helplessly, and thought in his heart: "Fan'er, no matter what you want to do, as a teacher, believe in you, you have to do it yourself,"
