Chapter 835: Temptation
There is no doubt that Emperor Zhengde's attitude is very resolute, and the most important thing is that Yang Tinghe does not have any good reasons to stop it! And Yang Tinghe didn't want to collide with Emperor Zhengde because of this matter, it wasn't worth it!
In Yang Tinghe's heart, he thought that this matter did not exceed his psychological bottom line. Yang Tinghe is not as stubborn as Li Dongyang.
Although Prince Liang is still very wary of this matter, he also has no good reason to persuade Emperor Zhengde! And he also saw that Yang Tinghe did not make a strong statement, as a new cabinet minister, Prince Liang did not choose to cross Yang Tinghe in the end.
Out of the leopard room, Liang Chu smiled bitterly: "Next, I'm afraid we will have to face a lot of interrogation!" ”
Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "It's okay, this matter is not without room for reversal!" ”
Liang Chu was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "Is there any other way for the elder to do it?" ”
"From the very beginning, I knew that it was impossible to persuade the emperor to change his mind about this matter, and it was more difficult than us to persuade the emperor to allocate money from the inner treasury!" Yang Tinghe groaned: "So it's better to fold the music, isn't it to build a ship?" The Longjiang Shipyard has long since lost the prosperity of the Yongle period, and it has to repair the grain ship every year. How easy is it to build a ship? ”
Liang Chu instantly comprehended the subtlety of Yang Tinghe's words, didn't you say that you want to build a ship? Okay, I didn't say I wouldn't make it for you, but as for when it will be made, who knows? Not to mention shipbuilding, just the paperwork can card you for a year!
Liang Chu said with a smile: "Yang Ge Lao Gao sees that the current shipyard has decayed, and it is not easy to build a ship!" I don't know if it's going to be the Year of the Monkey, now we can give them an explanation, as for whether they can understand it, it's up to them! ”
The two discussed and walked forward, and a heroic figure in front of them came to meet them, who was not Zhang Zhijie? It turned out that Zhang Zhijie had been paying attention to the follow-up development after the fold was handed over.
The fact that the two scholars came to the leopard room naturally couldn't hide it from him, and he knew in his heart that it must be for the formation of a fleet! Although Emperor Zhengde had already promised Zhang Zhijie that he was willing to pat his chest, Zhang Zhijie was still not at ease and rushed to the leopard room.
As a result, he met Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu head-on, Zhang Zhijie took a closer look and found that Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu did not have a gloomy look on their faces. Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, could it be that there were some variables?
"Elder Yang Ge, Elder Liang Ge!" Zhang Zhijie smiled and hugged his fists.
For this young man who drove Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the cabinet, out of the capital in one fell swoop, who dares to be careless? Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "It turned out to be Admiral Zhang, and the old man was about to see Admiral Zhang!" ”
Zhang Zhijie was a little surprised: "Oh? I don't know what Yang Ge Lao is looking for me? ”
A letter appeared in Yang Tinghe's sleeve, handed it to Zhang Zhijie and said with a smile: "I don't know if Admiral Zhang knows about this letter?" ”
Zhang Zhijie took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Chu Tianba's twist, oh, it turned out to be about forming a fleet to go to sea!" Don't hide it from Yang Ge Lao, although I don't know about this letter, but when I was in Nanjing, I discussed it with Chu Tianba, which is a good thing! ”
Although Zhang Zhijie said that there is something to do, it has nothing to do with himself. But Yang Tinghe naturally didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Since Emperor Taizu, all dynasties have taken the sea ban very seriously!" Although there was a feat of going to the West seven times that year, Emperor Taizong finally gave up and started to ban the sea again! Now it is too rash to suddenly organize a fleet to go to sea, at least it should be discussed in court, otherwise this twist and turn will cause an uproar! ”
Court Meeting? The court is talking about a ball! The court is not what you civil officials say! Zhang Zhijie slandered in his heart, and couldn't help laughing: "It's just to reorganize the rotten ships of the coastal guard station, and the small fight is completely incomparable with the seven trips to the West back then!" Where is such a trivial matter still used in court discussions? ”
"Now that the cabinet has approved it and the emperor has approved it, what else is there to make an uproar? However, the Governor has heard that the ban on going to sea has been extremely rampant in the southeast coast recently, and that he has colluded with some officials of the southeast coastal guard station, and has also heard that there has also been collusion with the ministers of the DPRK and China. Ben Du is about to ask the Jinyi Guard to check it! Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.
This is completely a naked threat, Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "Admiral Zhang has some grass and trees, but it's just some hearsay rumors!" ”
"Maybe! Unexpectedly, the emperor actually asked the governor to supervise this matter, and asked Yang Ge Lao and Liang Ge Lao to do more convenience! Zhang Zhijie smiled and arched his hand.
"Well said, well said!" Yang Ge said goodbye with a smile.
This letter was still sent out by the General Administration Department, which caused an uproar all of a sudden, and maritime affairs have always been taboo in the imperial court. At the beginning, the Western Ocean during the Yongle period was opposed by many civil officials, but I didn't expect that after a hundred years, someone would want to organize a fleet to go to sea! This suddenly stirred up the sensitive nerves of many Wenchen.
Officials in the northern part of the country are better, but officials in the south are undoubtedly more sensitive, especially officials in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, many of whom are involved in maritime smuggling, so the reaction is even more intense.
What surprised them even more was that this fold was actually sent to the Ministry of Industry! It's not a central decree, it's actually passed the cabinet! How is this possible? What does the Cabinet do? How could it be agreed to form a fleet to go to sea?
Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu naturally would not carry this pot, and soon Peng Yuzhen's role in this matter was exposed. Reminiscent of the instructions of Emperor Zhengde in the compromise, Zhang Zhijie has full authority to supervise this matter! All the mysteries seem to have surfaced!
Many people have been wondering why Peng Yuzhen, who is not conspicuous, will enter the cabinet, and now everything is clear, it turns out that Peng Yuzhen actually took refuge in Zhang Zhijie at some point and was praised by Zhang Zhijie into the cabinet!
This is simply a shame among civil officials, scum among civil officials, scum among civil officials, and soft bones among civil officials! Peng Yuzhen became the target of public criticism for a while! Many people were indignant in their hearts, and they couldn't help but have a thought, they must stop this matter and prevent Zhang Zhijie from organizing a fleet to go to sea!
In particular, officials in the coastal department jumped up and down, spitting everywhere and agitating. The formation of a fleet wastes national strength, violates the ancestral teachings, and so on. For a while, the crowd was turbulent, and it is estimated that the General Administration Department is busy again!
At the same time, many officials have found Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu, Yang Tinghe and Liang Chuye said that they were very helpless, the two had already met Emperor Zhengde, it was useless, Emperor Zhengde's attitude was very resolute!
The two of them secretly dialed again, these officials are not stupid, they understand the mystery! However, they are still unwilling and want to solve the problem from the root.
