Besides, he smiled slightly, and didn't answer, isn't he just being scolded, listen carefully, the emperor has an attitude, it's always a good thing.

"You're really a blockbuster. Do you want me to be impressed with you, or do you want the emperor to be impressed with you?! No matter what you think, anyway, the goal has been achieved, and the court is turned upside down today, do you know? Zhang Juzheng said a little angrily.

"I don't know, I didn't get the notice and didn't go to court."

Moreover, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, it is said that he must participate in the court meeting, and he must be responsible for guarding and guarding. The Jinyi Wei of the Ming Dynasty was actually a secret service, specializing in protecting the safety of the emperor and the royal family, and other detectives and arrests were derived duties, and they have always been strongly excluded by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department.

It's just that this commander is a Jilu, not official, no one asked him to go to the court, and no one informed him, so he simply didn't go.

"You said that you didn't have a good performance, but you had to apply to the emperor to lift the sea ban, don't you know that the sea ban was set by Emperor Taizu Gao, and it is contained in the "Taizu Sermon", and not a word can be changed for eternity?"

"My lord, don't blame the boldness of the late life, in fact, the "Sermon of Taizu" has been revised a lot over the past many generations, not to mention whether the Three Treasure Eunuchs went to the West to break the sea ban before, as far as the current situation is concerned, how can there be a sea ban in the coastal area? The sea ban is only for the small people, but it is for the interests of many big families in the coastal and even Jiangnan that are protected, and the silver of the imperial court flows in in large quantities every year, and most of it flows into their treasury. ”

"Well, you're right, so you know what hornet's nest you stabbed, right? The big families you mentioned have been engaged in overseas trade for many generations, and they are deeply rooted, their power is all over the government and the opposition, and they have an inseparable connection with many bigwigs in the court. ”

"What's so great about them, if the emperor is determined, Xu Xiang, Gao Xiang and the adults join forces, I'm afraid that they won't be able to sweep them away?"

"You're a little kid. It's complicated, it's not something that can be explained in a few words, and it's not something you can sweep away with your power. If it were that simple, you wouldn't have to wait until now. ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and became the emperor, he spent his whole life in 32 years and conscientiously compiled a set of "Taizu's Sermon", which set the laws and regulations that future generations must abide by, and wrote that those who dare to change in future generations are rebels, and those who dare to change in courtiers dare to criticize changes will be punished as rebellion.

That is to say, in fact, the sermon has changed a lot since Emperor Jianwen, after Yongle seized power, it was known as "restoring the old chapter of Taizu", under the banner of setting things right, in fact, he broke the rules of Taizu a lot, but at that time, the imperial power was strong, the ministers were weak, and the subjects below had few opponents.

After that, the imperial power was weakened from generation to generation, and the status and power of ministers, mainly civil officials, gradually increased, and they desperately defended the Sermon of Taizu.

Someone asked, what is the Sermon of Taizu? It is equivalent to the constitution of the Ming Dynasty, the law of the Ming Dynasty is the three-foot law equivalent to the legal provisions, according to the legislative principle, the constitution is the fundamental law, but also the supreme law, the law should be based on the constitution, not contrary to the constitution. If this is the case, it is of course not wrong for the ministers to desperately defend the "Sermon of Taizu", and the current emperor cannot do it at will.

However, the specific situation is very complicated, for example, the sea ban has not been completely banned, the so-called sea ban is to prohibit the private sector from doing business overseas, but the private sector has not only not been prohibited, but there are many big families who have joined forces with overseas forces to smuggle and obtain massive gold and silver wealth, even if the official commercial trade with overseas has been monopolized by the three major merchants of the Guangdong generation, and these merchants have formed a giant consortium.

"If the emperor and your lordship can be trusted, I can fight with them." Besides, he patted his chest and took the initiative to ask for help.

Zhang Juzheng looked at him, and suddenly laughed, he was half angry, half amused by the situation, and then shook his head with a wry smile, what a child, I don't know how thick the sky is, and what he says is nonsense that can only come out of a three-year-old child.

"Really, my lord, I'm not afraid of them, I fought with the Zheng family in Fuzhou in Jiangnan, not only did they not take advantage, but they almost wiped out." Besides, solemnly.

At this time, he brought up the matter with the Zheng family in Fuzhou, not to put gold on his face, but to evaluate Zhang Juzheng's confidence, whether it was possible to let him wrestle with those coastal families. If he wants to achieve his goal and develop his power overseas, it is a hurdle to fight against these coastal clans and even pirates.

"I already knew about your glorious deeds, it was the handiwork of Wei Guogong, does it have anything to do with you?" Zhang Juzheng sneered.

"That's because I was under house arrest by Lord Guogong, otherwise I don't need the people from Zhongshan Palace, I beat them and fled." Besides, I actually want to say that if I let him do it, none of the Zheng family will want to go back alive, but unfortunately I can't say this.

Zhang Juzheng listened to him full of words, and felt very weird, he also understood these days that he was by no means a person who leaned his neck and played a trumpet, but was very low-key, and understood and mastered the information analysis from many parties, and one of the major shortcomings was that he was too low-key, and even a little lacking in self-confidence, rather than arrogant and ignorant.

Zhang Juzheng's heart suddenly swelled: Could it be that those statements are true, there is really a very powerful force behind him?

Zhang Juzheng didn't know much about these things, and he didn't have the heart to investigate this kind of thing. But he also heard some rumors, saying that there is a very powerful force behind him, it seems to be a force in the rivers and lakes, could it be that there is a new force in the rivers and lakes?

Zhang Juzheng didn't believe it. He can only think like this, the Kuang family has been a famous doctor for generations, and after a few generations, he may have cured countless people in the rivers and lakes, and these people are grateful to the famous doctor of the Kuang family for saving their lives, so they are all covered. However, these forces are only generalized forces.

From another point of view, the royal family has no relatives, the officialdom is ruthless, if you want to find family, kindness, and friendship, you have to find it among the people, especially in the rivers and lakes, of course Zhang Juzheng knows this truth.

"You have this in mind when you write to the emperor?" Zhang Juzheng's anger in his heart decreased slightly.

He was angry today not only because he stabbed the hornet's nest of Tianzi No. 1, but also because he was ridiculed by Gao Gong in the court, and his heart was angry.

When he went to court today, the emperor suddenly sent down the memorabilia for all departments to discuss.

The discussion is to see if there is value in execution, and even how to execute, etc. Generally speaking, anything can be assigned to a specific department, such as a certain ministry of the six ministries to the council, the research opinions are submitted to the cabinet, and several scholars in the cabinet then study whether it is feasible, and then write their own opinions to the emperor, and then write down the handling opinions on behalf of the emperor, and transfer them to the palace, and the palace is presided over by the two eunuchs of the pen and the ceremony, if the cabinet opinion is very good, just talk to the emperor, draw the seal and seal, and then hand over the holy decree proposed by the cabinet to the Chinese book for transcription, and issue it to the specific department to implement it, which is the general process of the operation of the court in the Ming Dynasty.

However, this recital was not issued to a certain department, but all departments participated in the discussion together, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the recital. However, why the emperor attaches importance to this recital, the ministers have not been able to figure it out until now.

Moreover, the central idea of the presentation was naturally to lift the sea ban, take back the trade privileges that controlled the merchants and big families along the coast, and establish a special trade department for the imperial court to trade with overseas, so that not only would the national tax not be lost in large quantities, but the income would rise sharply, and the silver and money shortages of the imperial court and dynasties would be alleviated.

This is a very good idea, in fact, many ministers agree with it in their hearts, but everyone understands how such a good idea could be proposed by a twenty-year-old "upstart"? What is he trying to do?!

To be honest, anyone in the court can come up with a more detailed and perfect strategy, after all, not enough is understood, officialdom experience is almost zero, and many of the references seem immature and ridiculous, but the basic views and arguments are irrefutable, and only one point, and the most deadly, is to violate the Sermon of Taizu.

What kind of crime is this, it is unconstitutional in later generations, and in the Ming Dynasty, the crime is even greater, it is called rebellion! Because the Ming Dynasty did not have a constitution, there was no such thing as unconstitutionality.

However, the problem came again, besides, it was promoted by the emperor himself, and he was promoted from an unknown white-clothed show to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and now what is going on, no one can figure out the mystery.

So there was silence in the court for a while, and I don't know who this lifting of the sea ban means. It may be the emperor's intention, and he will put it forward, or Zhang Juzheng's intention is to take advantage of this piece in his hand. In short, all the ministers agreed in their hearts that besides, it was just a gun, and the question was whether the person holding the gun was the emperor or Zhang Juzheng, anyway, no one believed that it was the meaning of this kid. He has nothing to do and is full of food, where does he have this energy?.

But the reality is exactly the opposite of what they think.

Don't talk about the officials of the various ministries, even the scholars and squires of the various ministries, as well as the cabinet scholars, are all confused all of a sudden, what is the situation.

Everyone looked at the emperor who was sitting silently on the upper echelons, with no joy or anger on his face. Everyone looked at him, and he looked at everyone. The situation is deadlocked.

Gao Gong first figured out that this was definitely not what the emperor meant, if the emperor had this thought, even if he didn't tell anyone, he would discuss it with him in private first, he had this confidence. However, Gao Gong has not been very confident recently, because the emperor did not discuss with him when he was promoted, which made him feel seriously frustrated, but fortunately, he had a very good relationship with his disciples, and he also had a good impression of him, so this matter slowly passed.

"Your Majesty, this matter is too much to do, can you wait for the ministers to discuss carefully after retiring from the dynasty before making a decision." Gao Gong was the first to speak.

"Yes." Emperor Longqing nodded slightly, still expressionless, he was not pretending, but he believed in the philosophy of rule by inaction, and the idol in his heart was Emperor Xiaozong, not his father Emperor Jiajing.

In his opinion, the emperor did not believe in any of his subordinates, and did everything himself, but made the government inferior, so he decided to give him the power to control everything to scholars such as Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, who he trusted, and the country would flourish, and it was very likely that the glory of the founding of the country would be restored.

"This matter cannot be decided, Your Majesty, this is a blatant violation of the Sermon of Taizu, the initiator is a chaotic minister and thief, and his crime can be punished, if this matter is negotiable, what is not negotiable, Lord Gao's words are very inappropriate."

At this moment, a counselor suddenly walked out of the court, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and then looked up at Emperor Longqing in the hall and screamed.
