Chapter 283: On Politics

In the capital of Daming in May, the weather has not yet warmed up, but the atmosphere is unusually lively.

According to Huang Zunsu's idea, Zhu Youxiao gave Ye Xun a will, ordering Ye Xun to send troops to aid the DPRK, without any conditions and no room for negotiation.

Huang Zunsu's proposal can be described as sinister, if Ye Xun sends troops, the Liaodong army may be dragged to the Korean battlefield, and the good situation that Liaodong has worked so hard to build before is likely to be ruined.

And if Ye Xun does not send troops, then it will be a big problem, everyone knows what the concept of disobedience in this era is, Ye Xun will become the finger of thousands of people, and become the object of spurning by all scholars who follow Confucianism in the world, and the public enemy of the people in the world.

And another advantage of doing this is that we also have an explanation for North Korea, you see, it's not that we don't help you, as for whether or not to send troops, that's Ye Xun's business, so that the face of the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty is saved, and then he also pit Ye Xun fiercely.

When the decree was sent to Liaodong, Ye Xun was still in Jinzhou, and Ye Xun didn't take this kind of trick seriously at all, and in front of the eunuch who passed the decree, he expressed his absolute obedience to His Majesty's orders and saved the Korean people from dire straits.

Not only that, Ye Xun also issued an order to the Liaodong army to enter the Korean war in front of the eunuchs and Korean envoys.

Then the eunuch left with a disappointed face, and the Korean envoy was also fooled away by Ye Xun, and then Ye Xun threw the holy decree into the fire, and did whatever he wanted.

Of course, it is not only this one thing that makes the capital of Daming lively, but also an impeachment of the governor of Denglai, Tao Lang.

The content of the song is that Ye Xun violated the ancestral system, set up a fleet without permission, and at the same time recruited sailors without authorization, which was suspected of plotting misdeeds, so he asked the court to investigate and punish him severely.

The appearance of this twist and turn once again set off a new wave for the lifeless imperial court.

This time, Zhu Youxiao didn't discuss with anyone at all, and directly sent someone to Jinzhou to investigate thoroughly, not how anxious he was to confirm the matter, but he was really mad by Ye Xun.

It has been almost a month since Ye Xun's order to send troops to aid North Korea, but not a single soldier has entered North Korea until now.

The envoys of North Korea went to find Ye Xun, but they could no longer find Ye Xun, the court sent people to find Ye Xun, Ye Xun did not hide, but just vomited a lot of bitterness in front of the court envoys, what soldiers are disobedient, the army is being assembled, there are Korean soldiers making trouble, etc., there are all kinds of reasons, in short, there are no troops.

After this nonsense, a month passed quickly, and just when Zhu Youxiao was pondering whether to tell the world and designate Ye Xun as a traitor, Tao Lang's impeachment was broken.

It can be said that this twist and turn is too timely, if you catch the evidence of Ye Xun's violation of the ancestral system, then you don't have to wait until Zhu Youxiao's wedding to clean up Ye Xun, and directly tell the world that Ye Xun will be condemned as a traitor, and everyone will be punished.

As soon as the imperial history sent to investigate Ye Xun left, the Ming Morning Post, which has always been popular in the capital, once again threw out a new article on the pros and cons of the forbidden sea.

In the most prosperous section of the capital, a restaurant that is said to be a British public in the background has been renovated and reopened.

The decoration of the restaurant is novel, bright but not luxurious, even ordinary people can afford to consume, and the most attractive place here is that there are always some scholars who are full of running trains here to talk about the current situation.

The forbidden sea is the ancestral system, and now the impeachment of Ye Xun by the governor of Denglai has been spread in the capital, coupled with the Ming Morning News, it has suddenly become a hot topic of discussion among scholars.

At noon, it was the time when the restaurant was full of customers, and in the noisy conversation, the conversation of the scholars at the table by the window quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"Ye Xun, a national thief, I am rich in products, why do I need those strange and obscene things overseas? My Emperor Taizu was far-sighted and implemented the policy of banning the sea, just to prevent my Chinese people from being confused by those overseas states, and now the leaf thief actually built a fleet and privately selected sailors, and the intention of rebellion has been revealed, he is not a national thief, who can deserve this title? ”

Every time a topic is brought up, there is always a person who jumps into the lead, and then everyone debates the topic.

As soon as the words fell, another voice continued: "Brother Tai's words are wrong, let's not talk about whether Gonggong Ye really built ships and recruited sailors, as far as I know, this Tao Governor was corrupt and perverted the law during his tenure in Denglai, and was extremely harsh on the local people, how can you believe the words of such an official?" If what I expected was correct, he would definitely not be able to blackmail Father-in-law Ye, so he would find this rebellious reason to impeach Father-in-law Ye."

Another person said: "Listening to what the two brothers said, I also remembered that it has been more than 200 years since the founding of the Celestial Empire, and I have always pursued the ancestral system of forbidding the sea, but is this sea really forbidden?" In Jiangnan, the collusion between officials and businessmen has long regarded the imperial court's ban on the sea as a dead letter, secretly earning a large sum of silver taels through shipping, in order to prevent others from sharing the huge benefits of shipping, under the guise of the ancestral system, persecuting those officials or merchants who want to bring benefits to the treasury through shipping. ”

The scholars who can study in the capital are almost all the children of eunuchs or wealthy merchants, and these people have a lot of knowledge and knowledge, so they naturally know what the situation of the imperial court's sea ban order is in Jiangnan.

After a short silence, a scholar said: "Jiangnan is the country's wealth, if the proceeds of shipping can be included in the national treasury, that is the real way to enrich the country!" ”

"Humph! Open the sea to rich countries? If you think about it, could it be that Emperor Taizu doesn't understand such a simple truth? In the past, the Great Song Dynasty was rich enough, right? What do you think! In the end, it was not destroyed by the Mongols, so it would not be wrong to follow the ancestral system."

The scholars were talking, and no one noticed that on a table not far from them, there were several people with dark vultures, who had already written down the words of these people word for word, and then quietly walked away while there were many people.

After Xu Xianchun's accident, Cui Yingyuan has taken his place as he wished, and this guy has completely become Wei Zhongxian's loyal lackey, in order to better please the master, Cui Yingyuan sent a large number of Jinyi guards to dress up as ordinary people, wandering the streets all day long, as long as there is any unfavorable remarks with Wei Zhongxian, immediately lock up.

The people who just recorded the conversations of those scholars in the restaurant were several of Cui Yingyuan's subordinates.

Because the topic of these scholars involved Ye Xun, these people found a place after they came out, sorted out the words they heard first, and then sent them to Cui Yingyuan.

But I don't want Cui Yingyuan to be in the capital at this time, but to go out of the city to pick up people, and the person who can let the commander of Jinyiwei come forward to pick up in person is definitely not ordinary.

Indeed, the person Cui Yingyuan wants to pick up is too promising, he is Huang Taiji's envoy, Tong Yangxing...
