For the monarchs and ministers, once the matter reaches an impasse, it is no longer a big problem, because they can completely put it aside with a procrastination, which is the so-called shelving the dispute.

This court meeting, which was enough to shake the government and the opposition, ended without a result, and many officials looked at Lu Jin, who caused this big controversy, with strange eyes, and then shook their heads and left. And Lu Zhen himself sighed softly helplessly, this is officialdom, sometimes even if you take advantage of it, things may not really develop as you wish.

As he walked along the long corridor towards the outside of the palace with slightly heavy steps, a familiar voice sounded behind him: "Think well and stay." It was Yu Qian who greeted him from behind, which made Lu Jinyi pause, turn his head to look back, and bow slightly "Lord Yu......"

"You...... It's too casual to act today. Yu Qian came to Lu Zhen and wanted to reproach him, but after seeing his lost expression, his tone became much gentler: "Why did you come up with such a controversial idea on a whim?" ”

Lu Zhen smiled bitterly again, and then said: "Xiaguan is not a whim, in fact, I have already planned for the opening of the sea ban." Otherwise, I will not be able to become truly rich, especially for the people at the bottom, opening the sea can give them a new way of living. ”

"You really have a plan, no wonder you can be so eloquent at today's court meeting. However, why didn't you consult with someone earlier, such a solo battle against the ministers would only make your situation difficult. I'm afraid that after today, you will be the target of public criticism. Yu Qian couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "At least you should discuss it with me, are you afraid that I will be like them?" ”

"The lower officials don't dare. What kind of adult is the person, the lower officials naturally know, everyone in this Manchu Dynasty official may have selfish intentions, only you will not have it. Lu Jin hurriedly expressed his attitude.

"Then why didn't you consult with me earlier? Do you think I'm going to object to your proposal? Yu Qian frowned and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Because the lower officials also have selfish intentions." Lu Zhen said and sighed: "I know that this matter will offend the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and now that my Ming Dynasty is in the midst of a hundred wastes, it is really indispensable for you, the mainstay, so at this time, you must not be allowed to have a conflict with the ministers." ”

"You......" For a while, Yu Qian really didn't know what to say about this subordinate. His so-called selfishness turned out to be a public heart, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, which made him feel a burst of emotion in his heart. With a better impression of Lu Jin, he also began to face up to the matter of opening the sea: "Does Shan Si really think that the ban on opening the sea is the only way to make a rich country now?" ”

"Is it the only way, the officials dare not say anything, but it must be the most troubleless and fastest way. How can those wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan have today's wealth, and they don't rely on smuggling? Not to mention the performance of a hundred years of prosperity in advance, although the Song Dynasty is in a safe corner, it can be ...... for a hundred years," Lu Zhen once again took out the old things of the Song Dynasty as an argument.

Yu Qian is a knowledgeable person in the end, after hearing him say this, after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but be a little moved: "It seems that this sea ban does have its problems." ”

Lu Zhen nodded: "This is a big problem." I don't dare to say it, as long as the imperial court can open the sea ban, there will be absolutely no problem with me quadrupling my income in the Ming Dynasty. And these increased incomes will not increase the burden on the people of the world, but will even make their lives better. I really don't understand why so many people oppose such a good and harmless thing.

"If only before, because I Daming could still support myself on my own, it would have been fine. But now, the treasury has become empty, and those people are still sticking to the old ways, and it is really too much to always oppose the ancestral teachings of Emperor Taizu. Of course, there are also selfish people who may harm their own interests by opening the sea, and I am not surprising that they oppose it. ”

Yu Qian was silent for a while, he finally cleared his mind, and at the same time, the balance in his heart began to favor Lu Jin. This is not because the other party has an excellent relationship with him, and he is also his direct subordinate, but because the arguments he puts forward are indeed convincing enough.

As he spoke, the two had already walked out of the palace, and at Yu Qian's invitation, Lu Zhen did not get into his own carriage, but followed him to his relatively wide carriage. It wasn't until the car had traveled for a long time that Yu Qian finally looked at Lu Zhen and said, "What you said is indeed true." It's just that you're young and vigorous after all, and you're still a little hasty in this matter. Especially with your current status, you really shouldn't have raised this matter directly at the court meeting. ”

"The lower officials understand the love of adults, and they also understand that the court has its own rules, and it is best to let some inconsequential minor officials open their mouths to explore the way first. But have you ever thought about it, how many people's interests will be violated by this matter, even I, the squire, have been fully opposed by them, so if you have to change your identity, you can't be shouted and killed by them? It was so unfair to that man. ”

After a pause, he continued: "What's more, judging from the current shortage of money and food in the DPRK and China, this matter cannot be delayed. We must push forward the issue of opening the sea as soon as possible in order to resolve this critical situation. Only when I throw the problem out in front of everyone can the effect be revealed. ”

Seeing that the other party said such words without regret, Yu Qian's face became slightly hot. It seems that after he has today's status, he has more concerns about some things, and he is far less daring to think and do than this young man. Have you really lost your authenticity and sharpness?

"So what are you going to do next? Now more than half of the Manchu officials are against it. Yu Qian suddenly asked such an extremely realistic question.

And Lu Jin's answer did not hesitate: "Where righteousness is, although tens of millions of people go to me!" ”

Hearing his sonorous answer, Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly, and didn't say anything, but obviously, he also made a certain decision.

In the days that followed, the courtiers naturally debated the opening of the sea, and of course, most of them sided with the opposition. One by one, the recitals were sent straight to the General Administration Department like snowflakes, and each official made his position clear, and used the firmest words to refute and oppose this proposal, which violated the law of Taizu.

In addition, many people took the opportunity to impeach Lu Jin, and under the pen of these people, our Lu Shilang suddenly became a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people worse than Wang Zhen and others. said that as an official, he only valued interests, abandoned the right path of the world, and really read the books of sages for so many years, and really stood on top of this court without face.

There are even those fierce words, and they shout and kill Lu Zhen for a while, it seems that if this is not the case, then there will be no peaceful day in the Ming Dynasty. In their writings, Lu Zhen is also fortunate to be ranked alongside many traitors throughout the ages, such as Yang Guozhong, Qin Hui and others......

When I saw the more fierce statements on these bullet stamps, Zhu Qiyu, who was the emperor, was shocked. He really didn't expect that the ministers would behave so fiercely and uniformly in the face of the opening of the sea, and there were so many people who openly impeached Lu Jin.

At this time, the only thing the Son of Heaven could do for Lu Jin was to dredge these plays and leave them in the middle and ignore them, which was the only means he could protect Lu Jin. But with the consistent urine of Ming officials, I am afraid that after a while, they will have to run to the palace gate in person to beg the Son of Heaven to call the shots and kill the traitor Lu Jin.

It is also sad to say that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty can always reflect the malaise of corrupt Confucian scholars and scholars who are different from each other, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. When the enemies they face are stronger, more ruthless, and more unscrupulous than them, these guys who are polite and honest will all become dumb and deaf one by one, dare not say anything, and some will even cling to each other. For example, when Wang Zhen was in power before, and around those eunuchs after him, these accomplices were always indispensable to do evil together.

But when they are confronted with someone who is alone and the other party is only at odds with them on a certain political issue, they will fly like flies that smell blood, and they will never stop. This time, in their opinion, Lu Zhen is a newcomer who has no power except for the blessing of the Son of Heaven, so they can take this opportunity to drive him out of the court!

Just when Lu Zhen was attacked by a group and saw that he was in danger, things suddenly took a turn for the better. Originally, there was no one in the DPRK and China who supported him, but three days later, several letters supporting his proposal to open the sea suddenly appeared in the General Affairs Department.

A few supporting notes are mixed up in the hundreds of impeachment notes, of course, not so conspicuous, and they don't attract too much attention. But then, the number of people who supported him gradually increased, and when it came to July, there were no less than 100 notes every day saying that opening the sea was the best way to solve the current dilemma of the Ming Dynasty.

At this point, those who opposed it were dumbfounded. Why did the DPRK suddenly come to so many people who were in opposition to their own family? Have they all been bought by Lu Jin?

Of course, Lu Zhen can't have that ability, and he doesn't have so much money to buy court officials for his own use, as a squire who has only been an official in the capital for a few years. But he is not alone in the court, he also has a backer.

Hu Hui and Yu Qian are his two backers, and these two have been officials in the court for many years, so naturally they have many followers and protégés. Especially Hu Hui, as a veteran minister of the Four Dynasties, he has countless protégés in the court, and under his instruction, most of those who were originally silent began to support Lu Jin.

What makes those opponents even more uneasy is that all this is only the beginning......
