Ye Xun's words and deeds seem to be a never-ending topic, and after the news that he was about to lead the fleet to sea reached the capital, there was a wave of discussion in the capital again.

But the discussion was almost one-sided, and the majority of the people did not agree to the use of troops against their neighbors.

Moreover, the naval fleet went to sea, the cost was huge, according to the ideas of these people, the three treasure eunuchs went to the Western Ocean seven times, not to mention that they did not play any role, and the treasury of that year was about to be emptied, which was really a waste of money and money, and there was no meaning.

Other people who support Ye Xun believe that the fleet going to sea is a move to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and what Ye Gonggong sent troops to exterminate is not a good thing.

Ryukyu has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, although after Ye Xun took power, Ono in the name of the king of the Ryukyus, restored the tribute, but the officials in the court who have a little knowledge, Ono's behavior is extremely disapprove, in addition to Ono is still a Japanese people, you must know that the Japanese rebellion is not far away.

Ye Xun sent troops, firstly, to avenge the Japanese invaders in the Central Plains, and also to drive out the robbers for the vassal state, which can be said to be a righteous move.

According to this point of view put forward by the Ye Xun faction, the opposing side believes that now that the Ming soldiers are well fed, the Japanese are no longer a problem, and Japan has recognized its mistake and apologized, and the Celestial Empire should treat such a good neighbor who knows his mistakes and can correct them with a tolerant attitude.

I have to say that since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains people have a very good impression of the Japanese who are very good at disguise, even if there was a rebellion in the past, most officials in the court still think that it was just a small number of Japanese ronin, and the Japanese as a whole are still much better.

It's a pity that the humility of the little devil can deceive the people of this era, but he can't deceive Ye Xun who has crossed over in any way.

The controversy among the people soon spread to the court, and some ministers wrote to the Queen Mother, hoping that the Queen Mother would prevent Gonggong Ye from moving troops again.

Baozhu has almost blind trust in Ye Xun, but in order to shut up the courtiers, she has to listen to the government again.

A few years ago, Ye Xun had promised Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan that he would not use troops for two years, so when Ye Xun allocated ordnance and gunpowder, he specially sent a letter to the two, one was to tell them the necessity of this war, and the other was to guarantee that the court would not let the court pay a penny.

So although Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan also did not approve of sending troops, their starting point was to let the country recuperate, and now Ye Xun does not use one or two pieces of silver from the treasury, which can be said to be basically in line with their ideas.

And as Ye Xun's descendants, no matter what decision Ye Xun makes, they will support it.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Liao Chenglong took out the recital that the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom entrusted him to forward to the Queen Mother.

After handing it over to the servants, Liao Chenglong said loudly: "Queen Mother, the minister thinks that Ye Gonggong's move is inappropriate, and the King of Ryukyu Shangfeng specially sent a letter, saying that Ono is just a general in front of him, and there is no such thing as using power to disrupt the government, if Ye Gonggong forcibly uses troops against Ryukyu, his behavior can be regarded as aggression. The consequence will only be to make other vassal states deviate from our Celestial Empire, and please think twice."

Huang Bingtian stood in the corner of the main hall, looking at Liao Chenglong who was talking eloquently, and he couldn't say what it was like in his heart.

Gao Ren didn't feel sorry for him, took him to Xichang Prison for a tour, and explained to him the use of various torture tools, Huang Bingtian became a tainted witness in Xichang without hesitation.

It's just that he doesn't know much, he only knows that Liao Chenglong is the vanguard who secretly opposes Ye Xun, and he doesn't know the rest.

Of course, Gao Ren wanted more than that, and his intuition told him that there must be big fish behind Liao Chenglong.

So after sending Huang Bingtian's son to Liaodong to study, he released Huang Bingtian back, and told Huang Bingtian that if he wanted his son to return from school, he had to get some valuable clues to come back, otherwise his son might have to continue his studies in the Nuergan area.

Huang Bingtian had no choice but to follow Gao Ren's assignment and continue to lurk beside Liao Chenglong as an undercover agent of the West Factory.

Huang Bingtian knows very well that if he wants to gain the trust of Liao Chenglong and his gang, he has to come up with something real, such as absolute hostility to Ye Xun...

The Ming Dynasty Hall is a place of freedom of speech, as long as you can stand on the hall, no matter how big an official is, you can express your own opinions.

As soon as Liao Chenglong's words fell, Huang Bingtian was the first to jump out.

"Qi Song Queen Mother, in three years, there have been three emperors who have fallen, this is God warning that there are traitors in the court, and please ask the Queen Mother to investigate"

"In addition, Liaodong is newly determined, and the turmoil brought about by the new policy in Jiangnan also needs time to calm down, if you are arrogant at this moment, it is likely that disaster will come again, and please ask the Queen Mother to recruit back Ye Gonggong as soon as possible, so as to return the world to peace as soon as possible!"

As soon as Huang Bingtian's words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, as if everyone didn't even dare to breathe.

You must know that although Huang Bingtian did not name Ye Xun and said that Ye Xun was a traitor, no one is stupid, what is the difference between these words and pointing at Ye Xun's nose and scolding him for being a traitor?

Many officials looked at Huang Bingtian with admiration in their eyes, what a buddy! But Grandpa Ye wants to clean you up, don't implicate us...

Baozhu also thought that he had heard it wrong, and looked at Huang Bingtian with an awe-inspiring and righteous face in the hall through the curtain, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, isn't this person's head cramping?

Yuan Yingtai saw that the more people talked, the more they didn't like it, he couldn't help coughing, flashed out, bowed to the jewel and said, "Queen Mother, the minister has something to say"

"Yuan Qing, please speak!"

"The minister obeyed the order, just now Lord Liao and Lord Huang both mentioned the loss of labor and money, the old minister wants to explain this matter to the Queen Mother and the ministers, first of all, Ye Gonggong mobilized the warship, and did not spend a penny of silver in the imperial court, and the military expenses used were donated by the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, which can be proved by Lord Zhang."

Hearing Yuan Yingtai mention himself, Zhang Quan nodded hurriedly.

I heard Yuan Yingtai continue: "In addition, as for the traitor that Lord Huang kept saying, this official wants to ask Lord Huang, who recovered Liaodong?" Who drove the Mongols out? Who took it back? The lifting of the sea ban has made the treasury richer and richer, not to mention the people, but also the beneficiaries, right? ”

After the lifting of the sea ban, the salaries of officials have doubled several times, and if you don't thank Ye Xun, you are a typical white-eyed wolf, but it seems that there are really a lot of such people in the court.

"There is also a letter about the king of Ryukyu, who doesn't know that Ono is a pirate, and has been entrenched in the Ryukyu for many years, under his persecution, what kind of twists and turns can't be written by the king of Shoho? It is true that we are the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, but we are not allowed to be deceived by others, and if we deceive the Celestial Empire, we will have to pay the price, my Hongwu Emperor established the country with martial arts, and the Yongle Emperor went deep into the desert several times to drive away the Mongols. The two emperors are telling the world with practical actions that the Ming Dynasty must not be humiliated! ”

As Yuan Yingtai finished speaking, the hall was quiet again...
