Chapter 384: Court Meeting
There is an unwritten unspoken rule in all dynasties, that is, what can be said on the table has actually been secretly operated.
The Ming Dynasty has come to this day, and it seems that the system is still sound, but in fact, it is already developing towards a deformed track.
Officials represent scholars, and if they say they are right, then it must be right, whether it is beneficial to the people of the country or not.
And the reason why Ye Xun dared to risk the world and implement all kinds of reforms in Liaodong was because he had absolute strength, and in the face of strength, any system and resistance were futile, and the same was true for scholars, because they also served the regime.
The eight members of the cabinet have gone to the second, and before Li Zhiwen could install his own people, Ye Xun took the initiative to find him, the six-member cabinet is enough, and there is no need to add more.
Ye Xun's decision was really a bit unexpected by Li Beiwen, and he originally wanted to pretend to ask Ye Xun's opinion, because he knew that Liaodong no longer had officials who were qualified to enter the court.
And now only two people in the six-member cabinet are from Liaodong, and even strictly speaking, Yuan Yingtai is not Ye Xun's person, that is to say, there is only one Zhang Quan who has no qualifications in the cabinet now.
An official from Liaodong obviously will not play a decisive role, so Li Zhiwen was not angry because Ye Xun interfered with his promotion of officials.
However, Ye Xun immediately proposed one more thing to him, that is, the court discussed the matter of opening the sea.
After explaining this matter, Ye Xun Shi Shiran left, because Ye Gonggong did not participate in politics.
Li Zhiwen was a little uncomfortable, the Liaodong silver coins had been directly included in the household department, and this month's Yulu was also paid for with silver coins.
Without going through court deliberations and without consulting anyone, Liaodong silver coins swaggered into the circulation market of the Ming Dynasty.
And this is just one of them, according to legend, the sea ships on the Golden State side are like dumplings, one after another underground to the sea, and they are all more than a thousand big ships, who agreed to this matter?
In Li Zhiwen's mind, since you Ye Xun have returned to the imperial court, you should stop those behaviors that violate the ancestral system and the regulations of the imperial court, leave everything to the imperial court to decide, and put everything on the right track.
But Li Zhiwen obviously forgot who Ye Xun was, and he overestimated his strength.
In the cabinet room, Li Zhiwen called Wang Yin, Zhao Ying, and Yang Sichang over, but did not call Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Gonggong Ye wants us to discuss the matter of opening the sea, I don't know what you think?"
As soon as Li Bei's voice fell, Yang Sichang was the first to say: "It's a good thing, there is no need to discuss it, although the official is not used to Ye Gonggong's actions, but on this matter, the official absolutely supports it."
After listening to Yang Sichang's words, Li Zhiwen's face suddenly became a little unsightly, and he said in his heart that he knew that you didn't look down on Ye Xun, so he asked you to give some reasons for opposition, but you were good, and you rebelled directly.
Wang Yin can also be regarded as a hardcore of Li Beiwen, as soon as he saw Li Beiwen's face change, he knew what the eldest brother was thinking.
Coughed dryly, and said: "Emperor Hongwu has already made a will, and the opening of the sea will only allow the strange and clever people of Fanbang to flow into my Ming Dynasty and erode the simple people of my Ming Dynasty, and I am very rich in resources, and I can be completely self-sufficient, there is really no need to lift the sea ban, the lower officials want to come, Ye Gonggong is also deceived by others, as long as we know how to be powerful, Ye Gonggong will understand."
This guy is obviously talking to the mud, and it seems that he is helping Li Zhiwen talk, but at the same time, he has not offended Ye Xun.
Zhao Ying glanced at Wang Yin, snorted disdainfully, and said: "The forbidden sea is an ancestral system, there is nothing to discuss, the sea ban has not been opened, haven't we come over the Ming Dynasty in the same way over the years?" If you want me to say, this matter is not just a few of us here, let all the courtiers participate, I don't believe that he Ye Gonggong dares to fight against all the officials? ”
Yang Sichang had already gotten up and was about to leave when Zhao Ying didn't finish speaking, and when Zhao Ying finished speaking, he couldn't help but turn his head and say, "Lord Zhao is so big?" You have the ability, why don't you go and close the Jinzhou Shipyard and disband the Liaodong Naval Division? ”
Anyway, if it weren't for his official position, he wouldn't have come to this so-called cabinet meeting!
"You!"
Zhao Ying was choked by Yang Sichang's words, but he couldn't find a word to refute it.
Li Zhiwen suddenly had a feeling that this cabinet seemed to be beyond his control.
looked at the remaining two guys, and said in a deep voice: "As Lord Yang said, it is an indisputable fact that the sailors and shipyards in Jinzhou are indisputable, in fact, I came to you, opening the sea is only one of them, the main thing is that I want to say, is there any way to avoid Ye Xun from controlling the government?" ”
This question is a bit embarrassing, and even Zhao Ying is silent
Yang Sichang walked out of the palace angrily, he secretly swore that he would never come to participate in this so-called cabinet discussion again, what kind of people are they!
sat in a sedan chair and returned to his house, but before he could enter the door, he was told by the old housekeeper waiting outside the door that Ye Xun and Ye Gonggong had been waiting for a long time.
Yang Sichang was taken aback, in fact, because he couldn't get used to seeing Ye Xun always meddling in the government, he insulted Ye Xun a lot behind his back, but he didn't know how this kid came to his house, did he come to ask for the guilt?
I looked left and right, and beside the horse stake outside the door, except for four or five guards with tigers and bears, I didn't see anyone else, so it didn't seem that I was here to find fault.
This is your own home, don't be afraid, you don't have anything to do, forgive him and can't do anything to himself, stabilize his mind, and walk inside.
At this moment, Ye Xun was sitting in the living room with Erlang's legs crossed, sipping tea, and the old housekeeper of Yang Mansion deliberately took out the best tea in the house, because he not only knew Ye Xun's prestige, but also knew that his master looked down on this Ye Gonggong, so it could be regarded as leaving a good impression on the master in front of Ye Xun first! In fact, if Ye Xun hadn't stopped him, the old housekeeper would have sent someone to the palace to find the master.
Ye Xun, the groom, has been a little sad recently, because on the third day of the wedding, Baozhu took Ye Xun's three ladies into the palace on the grounds that the queen needed to accompany her, and she didn't let her out for more than half a month.
Baozhu is pregnant, so naturally it can't be touched, and Ye Xun can't go through the clouds and rain with his three wives in the palace!
So these days, only Da Yu'er and a little girl in the house are accompanying him, and the little girl is very happy, but she chokes Ye Dagong's worries.
Hearing the footsteps, Ye Xun hurriedly stood up and greeted the door of the hall, and when he saw Yang Sichang's figure, he bowed to the end and said, "Ye took the liberty to visit, and asked Lord Yang not to be surprised."
When Yang Sichang saw Ye Xun's appearance, his heart was more settled, his hand was weak, and he said indifferently: "How dare the old man blame Father-in-law Ye, I don't know what happened when Father-in-law Ye suddenly came to my house?" ”
Ye Xun straightened up and smiled slightly, and said, "The tea in Lord Yang's house is good, so don't you plan to invite me to sit down and taste it again?" ”
