Lu Jin, who thought that there was almost no room to turn over, suddenly regained the right to speak under the support of a large number of officials who had been silent before, which really caught the other officials off guard. ~with~dream~small~say~щ~suimеng~lā

Because in the eyes of others, Lu Jin's status today only depends on the favor of the Son of Heaven, and for the struggle between the DPRK and China, sometimes the favor of the Son of Heaven may not play a decisive role. Because except for a very few people, the others of the Great Tomorrow cannot really suppress the hundred officials in the court.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that he did not serve in the DPRK for a long time. In the past few years, he has grown from a small six-grade official to a squire, and on the surface it looks really beautiful, but at the same time, he has also buried a lot of problems - the foundation is extremely unstable.

Generally speaking, it would take more than 20 or even 30 or even forty years for an official who came out of the imperial examination to sit in a third-rank position like a squire. These decades were not all wasted, but they allowed him to build his prestige during his time as an official, to meet various colleagues, and to form close ties and alliances with them. In this way, when he ascended to a high position, the DPRK and China naturally formed a considerable interest group.

These people may not be able to see it in normal times, but once the critical moment comes, they can charge for them and go to the court with dissidents, even if they can't win, they can minimize the damage. Moreover, the existence of these subordinates can also prevent the high-ranking people from going into battle shirtless at every turn, so that there is room for advance and retreat.

But Lu Zhen obviously does not have an advantage in this regard, and there are not even a few real cronies in the yamen of the military department, so he will personally go out this time. It is precisely because they have seen through this point that those opponents of the DPRK and China dare to criticize and even shout and kill without leaving any room for it. Of course, there are reasons why the opening of the sea touches the interests of some people, but there is also a reason to take the opportunity to oust Lu Zhen from the position of the waiter, because as long as he gets off the stage, the person they like can replace him.

However, after all, these people still underestimated the background of Lu Jin, a young high-ranking official. It is true that he is still cultivating his own power, but he has a strong backer.

If those opponents were just talking about the facts, maybe Hu Hu and Yu Qian would not have made a move. But now, these people are clearly looking for an opportunity to get rid of Lu Jin, so it is impossible for them to stand idly by.

When the two scholars, especially one of them, are still veterans of several dynasties, and even more high-ranking officials who have been in the position of heavenly officials in the Ministry of Officials for many years, they will naturally be like clouds.

In just two days, the situation between the DPRK and China suddenly turned around, and a large number of people began to speak for Lu Jin, bluntly talking about the many benefits of lifting the sea ban. In addition, he even went against those who opposed it, pointing out that their opposition to the opening of the sea must have ulterior motives, and they disregarded the fundamentals of the imperial court for their own interests.

At this moment, those opponents were bound to be unable to stare at Lu Zhen alone, so they had to turn their pen and start arguing with these people, and in an instant, the court was arguing and lively.

With this change in things, the last remaining people of insight couldn't hold back. Originally, they actually thought that the strategy of opening the sea proposed by Lu Shilang was very good, but it was difficult to express their position because there were too many opponents in the court. But now, seeing that the forces on Lu Jin's side are not small, they have a lot less worries, and they have also gone up one after another, bluntly saying that it is necessary to open the sea.

These people may not be high-ranking people, and they have little real power in their hands, but they have extraordinary insight. In addition, there is also Lu Jin's previous argument to lay the foundation, so he played a more detailed and flawless opening of the sea than the former.

Then, something that made the opponents feel their scalps tingle also happened - the Son of Heaven finally revealed his identity as a supporter of Lu Jin.

In fact, everyone already knows this, after all, Lu Zhen was originally pulled up by him. It was only because the previous opponents were more powerful that the emperor's authority was overshadowed.

However, when the two sides of the argument are in a balanced position, the attitude of the emperor as a judge becomes extremely important. Zhu Qiyu did not directly state his position, but only used his power as an emperor a little - all the most powerful arguments in the recital in favor of Lu Zhen were made known to the world, and at the same time, the selfishness of some officials was pointed out!

This time, it can be regarded as hitting the nail on the head of those guys. This kind of controversy between the DPRK and China may not be a problem if it is confined to the imperial court, but once it spreads and some people who know the inside story see the deep meaning, the result will be completely different.

Sure enough, less than 10 days after these arguments became apparent to the world, the people's condemnation of these opponents quickly took shape, and some yamen even received accusations of colluding with local clans and local officials for smuggling out to sea.

This kind of thing is originally concealed, and the people dare not expose it because of the huge power of the other party. But now, as the struggle between the DPRK and China intensifies, whether it is to vent anger or be instigated, in the next period of time, many officials who are among the opponents will be caught in such a fatal lawsuit.

When the local affairs were reported back to the capital, these people were even more in danger, and they all felt that a great disaster was coming.

There are some things that you can fool around without lifting the lid, but once you remove the camouflage from the top, the dirt inside is nowhere to be hidden!

As a result, some of the gossip officials who were just casually standing changed their courts and began to impeach the relevant officials. The reason why they did this was also very simple, they were very dissatisfied with Lu Jin's change of Taizu's law before, but now when they see those who openly violate Taizu's prohibition, the former is not so hateful. In particular, they have nothing to gain in such matters, and it is all the more important to crack down on the profiteers.

As a result, half a month after Lu Zhen was attacked by a group, the situation between the DPRK and China took a 180-degree turn, and those officials who originally denounced him became rats crossing the street. And in this way, more people are on the side of supporting the opening of the sea.

These people may not really understand how much benefit the opening of the sea is to the Ming court, and they don't have the intention of delving into it, but they still stand on this side. For in their view, it is better to abolish the prohibition than to cheapen the sinners who are secretly forbidden it.

Many seemingly impossible things in the world often only need one opportunity to become possible. At present, the controversy in the Ming court about the opening of the sea is like this.

At the court meeting in mid-July, many officials again openly impeached those who had violated the ban, and several officials who had previously opposed it particularly fiercely were also added.

When they heard the officials list their own crimes one by one, these officials were really panicked, and their faces were pale, and their lips trembled, but they couldn't say a word. Because they know in their hearts that these crimes can be proven, and as long as the Son of Heaven decrees a strict investigation, there will be nothing to hide.

But how to do it...... Everyone became dazed, and could only keep their heads down and wait for the final verdict.

Zhu Qiyu's entire face was as black as a Xuantan, and his eyes were also faintly staring at these officials. He really didn't expect that these sanctimonious, benevolent, and moral-mouthed guys would ignore the imperial decrees behind their backs, and obtain a lot of benefits from this.

What's even more infuriating is that in order to protect their own interests, these people also wantonly suppressed Lu Jin, a loyal minister who proposed the policy of enriching the country and strengthening the country. A group of bastards who had trampled on Taizu Chengfa under their feet for a long time dared to use Taizu Chengfa to oppose Lu Jin, which was really infuriating.

Looking at the emperor's indignant appearance, these people were even more frightened, and they felt that they were afraid that they would not be spared this time.

But at this moment, Zhu Qiyu's face changed, and he forcibly endured his anger. Because he remembered Lu Jin's suggestion when he entered the palace yesterday: "Your Majesty, the greed of human nature cannot be changed. Even if this time we can use this to kill this unhealthy trend, as long as there is an opportunity, the problem still exists. It won't be long before there are still a lot of people who should be forbidden.

"In the minister's opinion, what should be done now is to take this opportunity to get them to agree to open the sea, so as to prevent them from relying on the prohibition to obtain benefits!"

Although Zhu Qiyu is young and vigorous, he is an emperor who is willing to admonish, and he understands that what Lu Jin said is very reasonable. Therefore, after being angry, he regained his composure at this time, and only slowly swept his gaze over the faces of the ministers, and then spoke:

"I know that this matter is not small, but if I dig deeper, it is not a blessing for the court. Now, I have just experienced disasters and calamities, and it is really not appropriate to make any more trouble. All of the previous ones can be put aside. ”

Hearing him say this, the officials were greatly relieved, and their faces were a little more bloody, and they were very fortunate to have escaped. But soon, they got caught up in the tangle again: "However, this matter can't just be settled after all. Therefore, I thought that since the sea ban was no longer out of date, it was better to abolish it. In this way, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, and you can prevent anyone from making the same mistake in the future. ”

The ministers quickly understood that the emperor was telling them about the conditions. If you want to exonerate yourself, you have to agree to open the sea ban. Otherwise, I am afraid that the charges against myself will definitely be implemented, and not only myself, but the entire family in my hometown may be convicted because of this.

In such a life-and-death situation, how dare they continue to persevere? In the end, they had to bow their heads and agree to the emperor's proposal.

With the courtiers agreeing, the dispute over whether to open the sea ban finally settled after nearly a month, ending with Lu Jin's victory......
