Regarding Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu coming together, Peng Yuzhen didn't have to think about it to understand what was going on, obviously because of the affair.

I have been suffering from gains and losses before, but now, Peng Yuzhen has calmed down, got up and said with a smile: "Yang Ge Lao, Liang Ge Lao, is there something wrong with the two Ge Elders coming together?" ”

Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "Just now the General Administration Department handed over a letter, I have doubts about this letter, so come and ask!" ”

Peng Yuzhen shook his head and said, "When did the General Administration Department still have the right to seal and strip the piece?" ”

Liang Chu frowned and said: "It's not that the letter is refutated, but I just think that if this letter is issued, it will cause an uproar, and in order to be cautious, the envoy came to the cabinet, in fact, there is indeed a problem with this letter!" ”

Peng Yuzhen asked in a deep voice: "Then I don't know what Elder Liang Ge thinks is wrong with this letter?" Is this letter handled in an irregular manner? ”

There is indeed nothing irregularity in the process of this letter, Liang Chu shook his head and said: "I didn't say that it was not in order, Yang Ge Lao and I just felt that Peng Ge Lao's disposal was inappropriate!" Emperor Taizu has training, and he can't go to sea! ”

Peng Yuzhen said in a deep voice: "This matter is not without precedent, the Yongle Dynasty has Zheng He seven trips to the West!" ”

Liang Chu frowned and said in a deep voice: "The matter of going to sea costs the people and money, so Emperor Taizong put it on hold after seven trips to the West!" Now it is necessary to reorganize the fleet, which is not only contrary to the ancestral teachings, but also that the treasury is empty now, and there is no financial support at all! This letter is completely disregarding the people and the country! ”

Peng Yuzhen listened to it and said in a deep voice: "What Liang Ge said is too heavy, right?" This is not the organization of a huge fleet that went to the Western Ocean seven times back then! It's just a patchwork of dozens of lucky boats! We all know that the treasury is empty now, so the emperor has no intention of giving out money from the treasury! Liang Ge Lao's disregard for the people and the social affairs of the country is impossible to talk about! ”

"Over the years, the treasury has been tight, the sailors have been decadent, the sailors' warships have not been maintained at all, they are all rotten in the water, and if this continues, the sailors are afraid that there will be no ships available! What else is that called? ”

"Although it has been peaceful for a long time, but now the sea is not peaceful, there are many pirates ashore to invade the people, there has been an intensifying trend, if there is no water division available, how to prevent floods? The emperor is determined to form a fleet and can rebuild the fortune boat, which is a matter for the benefit of the people and the country, why not? ”

When Liang Chu heard this, he was speechless, and said for a while: "The imperial court's decree is to ban the sea, and now even the imperial court has to organize a fleet to go to sea, how can this sea ban order convince the public?" I am afraid that it will attract the people to rush to the sea first! ”

Peng Yuzhen couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "What is the situation on the southeast coast now, Elder Liang Ge doesn't know? If you want to really ban the sea, you must develop the fleet! If there is no fleet, the sailors are decadent, how can the sea be banned? ”

Liang Chu's face sank when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is competing with the people!" ”

Peng Yuzhen sneered when he heard this: "Competing with the people? If you don't obey the ban of the imperial court, can you still call the people if you go to sea to smuggle? Where is the silver used by the imperial court for disaster relief? What if there is no silver in the inner treasury? Could it be that you are watching the tragedy of Yizi eating in Henan? ”

Liang Chu listened silently, Peng Yuzhen paused, and said angrily: "I know that the two pavilion elders are prejudiced against me!" I was not pushed into the cabinet by the court, but recommended by Admiral Zhang to the emperor! That **** and Admiral Zhang met by chance and talked about things at sea, and they talked very happily. ”

"I joined the cabinet and was also a heart for the people! I have thought about this letter for a long time and agree with it! If the two elders feel different, they can invite the emperor, at least I have a clear conscience! ”

After Yang Tinghe listened to all the words, he sighed: "Once this letter is issued, it will definitely cause an uproar, so it is better to be cautious!" In the future, there will be such a sensitive twist and turn, I hope that Peng Ge Lao will not make an arbitrary decision, and everyone should discuss it! ”

Peng Yuzhen lowered his head and said: "I was reckless, dozens of boats, I thought it was a big deal!" I'll keep an eye out for it in the future! ”

After Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu left, Liang Chu said in a deep voice: "Elder Yang Ge, what should I do next?" ”

"Go to the leopard room!" Yang Tinghe said lightly.

"The emperor has already approved this matter, and there is Zhang Zhijie's shadow behind him, even if we go to see the emperor, it will be difficult to have a result!" Liang Chu groaned.

"What does Liang Ge think he thinks?" Yang Tinghe asked rhetorically.

"You might as well go and see Zhang Zhijie, this matter will cause an uproar in the court, and he will also be pushed to the forefront, doesn't he care about the consequences?" Liang Chu said in a deep voice, obviously Zhang Zhijie was very happy to persuade Emperor Zhengde to provide disaster relief last time, and the impression on Liang Chu was too good.

Yang Tinghe smiled bitterly: "Zhang Zhijie even matched the first assistant of the cabinet, Li Ge, for this letter, his determination, do you think a few words can persuade him back?" ”

Liang Chu listened to it silently, and then muttered: "If you can't persuade Zhang Zhijie, then how can you persuade the emperor?" ”

After hearing this, Yang Tinghe smiled and said, "Okay, you have to try!" ”

Liang Chu couldn't help but his eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, he seemed to be aware that Yang Tinghe didn't seem to be very concerned about this, it was more like going through a process.

Emperor Zhengde had just moved back to the leopard room, and when he heard that Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu were asking to meet, he smiled at Zhang Yong beside him and said, "Look, it's still here?" When will I be able to worry? Pass them in, right? ”

After Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu finished saluting, Emperor Zhengde asked with a smile, "What's the matter with the two elders?" ”

Yang Tinghe bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a letter here, it seems that there is something wrong!" ”

Emperor Zhengde was a little unconcerned and said, "Oh? Present it! Zhang Yong took the fold and presented it to Emperor Zhengde, who glanced at it twice and put it on the case, and said in a deep voice: "This letter has been approved, there is nothing wrong with it!" ”

"There is also a precedent for this matter, and the Taizong Dynasty had the feat of going to the West seven times. This letter is not unreasonable! The maritime affairs are slack, there are often pirates invading the people, and it is also necessary to rebuild the fleet, anyway, you don't have to worry about it without spending money on the treasury! ”

"Smuggling along the southeast coast is extremely rampant, and the decree banning the sea is in vain.

"That's it, let the Ministry of Industry supervise the shipbuilding of Longjiang Shipyard, and the national treasury will not spend on it, and the rest of the matters will be handled by Zhang Zhijie! That's it! Emperor Zhengde said lightly.

"Your Majesty, this letter is spreading, I am afraid it will cause an uproar, and now the court has just calmed down!" Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice.

Emperor Zhengde listened to it and said coldly: "Just send it, I want to see which cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have jumped out!" ”
