75. The Three Decrees (Medium)
At the same time as Huang Jin arrived in Suzhou, Zheng Guang was still carefully writing in the room the secret fold to be handed to the emperor to read, since the emperor sent someone from the Jinyi guard to find him to play the fold, it was enough to reflect the emperor's distrust of the southeast bureaucracy and his concern for the southeast issue, it was absolutely wrong to say that the Jiajing Emperor ignored the government affairs, at least on this kind of issue, the Jiajing Emperor did not dare to slack off.

Like a child and a young man inquiring about the actual situation in the southeast, it is enough to show how far the emperor's distrust of the officials in the southeast has reached, and judging from the general practice of the Jiajing Emperor's basic distrust of the courtiers, it is also relatively serious.
Zheng Guang decided to tell the truth and tell Emperor Jiajing everything he had learned, whether it was from Tang Shunzhi or everything he had read and analyzed, and after that, whether Emperor Jiajing wanted to do it or not, it was the emperor's business, and he was just a small person at the moment, and he couldn't change anything.
The rebellion of the Japanese invaders originated from the policy of the sea ban, but there were first the Japanese invaders, and then there was the sea ban, but the Japanese before the sea ban were really the Japanese invaders, just a group of sea robbers, but after the sea ban, the Japanese invaders became a means to resist the rigid policy of the central government in the southeast, but at that time the Japanese were only against the official forces, and there was no action of attacking the city and slaughtering the people, but with the passage of time, the Japanese invaders became more and more tyrannical and cruel, and their nature changed fundamentally.
Even Zheng Guang can conclude that at this time, even if someone in the imperial court decides to open the sea, it will not be possible, because the Chinese are very smart, they will not openly oppose a strict decree, but they will look for gaps under these strict policies, any severe ban can become a means for some people to accumulate wealth, before the sea ban, the huge profits of maritime trade belong to the whole southeast, and the imperial court can also get a piece of the pie, but after the sea ban, the situation has changed.
A large number of families in the southeast who had participated in the maritime trade in the past for the survival of the family, took risks, used the original power, financial resources and personal connections, through the rebellion of the Japanese invaders, and slowly compiled a complex and huge network of maritime divisions, they used the guise of the Japanese vagabonds, hired batches of Japanese wandering samurai to decorate the faΓ§ade, attract attention, and privately used their power and manpower and material resources to form one after another team, monopolizing all the profits of the southeast overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty, this huge profit, Feed these big families to their fullest.
If the original Japanese pirates were the main Japanese pirates, and then the Japanese were mainly bankrupt residents along the coast of China, the nature of these two is not enough to cause trouble in the southeast, and now the group militarized Japanese group promoted by the sea merchants of the great family family in the southeast is the force that is enough to troublego the southeast, they have gained huge profits because of the sea ban policy, once the sea is opened, not only will they lose their main source of manpower, but also lose this benefit.
Therefore, it is not that the imperial court has not thought about reopening the sea over the years, but the people who oppose it are all these people who should obviously support it, the people of the southeast are eager to open the sea for a long time, but it is these people who are doing everything possible to obstruct it, Zheng Guang does not know who these people are, but this must be the closest to the truth of the truth, in another time and space, how Emperor Jiajing dealt with this group of bastards, Zheng Guang is not clear, this time, Zheng Guang still does not intend to know.
Zheng Guang wrote a lot, and the solution measures were also given a lot according to his own ideas, including dealing with the most heinous criminals, beheading the main accomplices, exiling the families of the secondary accomplices, and punishing these real Japanese criminals with an iron fist.
At this moment, Zheng Guang heard a knock on the door, these days for this setback, he has been isolated from the outside world, and no one comes to him, his family is still very obedient, now what's wrong? Zheng Guang felt curious, walked up and opened the door, and saw Zheng Yong.
"Brother, brother, hurry, hurry up, Governor Fan sent someone to inform our family, the angel sent by the emperor to reward the meritorious ministers has arrived in Suzhou City, and now at the north gate, Governor Fan said that the angel may come to our house, so that our family is ready!" Zheng Yong gasped and said.
Zheng Guang was slightly startled, and then a trace of expectation emerged in his heart, I don't know what kind of reward the emperor will give himself, the official position should not be given, but other benefits, the emperor should not be stingy, although Emperor Jiajing is a little mean, but in these military affairs, there is no ambiguity, plus he has to write a book by himself, even if it is to buy people's hearts, he will not be too stingy.
In the years of the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor was dead, and the emperor Zheng Guang, who was captured by the Mongols, did not admit it at all, so basically the highest military and political chief of the Great Song Dynasty was himself, and his life has been very hard, and after coming to the Ming Dynasty, suddenly there was a Ming Supreme on his head, Zheng Guang was still a little unaccustomed, but these days, Zheng Guang has also begun to look forward to what kind of reward the emperor will give, which can make the life of the family better, Zheng Guang does not mind.
Zheng Guang then changed his clothes, called his family and asked them to prepare, the old lady heard that the emperor's angel was coming to the Zheng family, and immediately the six gods were left without a master, the women had only heard of it, but this matter fell on their heads, it was really a little unexpected, they didn't know etiquette and other things, so they had to turn their eyes to Zheng Guang for help, Zheng Guang was also blind to this kind of thing, and he didn't know what preparations were needed to receive the holy decree.
Fortunately, soon Fan Qing sent a second person, bringing important news that the angel was on the way to Zheng's mansion, and then he was arranged to guide Zheng Guang to prepare, prepare incense cases, prepare some brocade mats, change new clothes for the whole family, and kneel to receive the angel when he took out the holy decree, etc., anyway, many requirements are not the same, and the Zheng family suddenly jumped and made noise.
Finally, the arrangement was roughly completed, the team of angels and his party was already close in front of them, and Zheng Guang heard the bustling voice, and then, in Zheng Guang's sight, Fan Qing accompanied a big eunuch in a red robe to slowly walk into the Zheng Mansion compound, and saw that Zheng Guang's Mansion was ready, and he was a little funny: "Fan Zhifu, you are fast enough to move!" β
Fan Qing didn't hide it: "After all, it's better to be solemn than to receive the holy decree." β
Huang Jin nodded with a smile, looked at Zheng Guang, who was a little nervous, and saw that his eyebrows were clear and beautiful, and there was a heroic spirit in his eyebrows, he couldn't help but feel a little good, so he said: "This is Zheng Guang Zheng Xiaomaster, right?" β
Zheng Guang looked up at this kind-faced eunuch, and thought that most of the eunuchs were not easy to provoke, anyway, just stay away, after all, he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, and he made a mistake if he didn't have any worries and grievances with others, that was not integrity, that was two, so Zheng Guang replied: "Zheng Guang has seen angels." β
Huang Jin nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at Fan Qing: "Suzhou is really a place where outstanding people are brilliant, even if there are so many literati, it is really enviable to produce such civil and military all-rounders." After that, he looked at the room of nervous family members behind Zheng Guang, most of them were female dependents, and he remembered Zheng Guang's life experience, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, so he said: "Okay, don't talk too much, Zheng Guang will take the order!" β
Huang Jin's face was solemn, holding the holy decree with both hands, Fan Qing quickly came to Zheng Guang's side, gave Zheng Guang a look, Zheng Guang understood, and the two immediately knelt down together, and the Zheng family behind them saw Zheng Guang and Fan Qing kneeling down, so they also knelt together, and the whole family received the holy decree together.
"Fengtian carried the emperor, and said: Zheng Guang, the son of Suzhou, has been adhering to the good letter since he was a child, has superior qualifications, and is diligent in learning...... When the Japanese invaders were in turmoil, Suzhou was in danger, light stepped forward, and fought in the city with the body of a son, not afraid of strong enemies, fought bravely, inspired morale, and was fierce, leading the soldiers of Suzhou to break the Japanese invaders, and assisted the prefect Fan Qing to keep Suzhou safe, he was really a literati hero, a model of scholars, and now he was given 500 acres of fertile land, 1,000 gold, 5,000 silver, and 5,000 silk horses, exempt from Zheng's taxes.
The meritorious deeds of light should have been awarded officials and knighted to be reused, but remembering that Zheng Guang was committed to the scientific field, he did not add an official position, in order to be on the list of scholars in the coming year, as an important weapon of the country, and then reused; And this thought, I wrote an inscription and gave it to Zheng Guang, hoping that you will not live up to my hope. After Huang Jin finished reading this holy decree, he looked at Zheng Guang who was kneeling on the ground with a smile, and held the holy decree with both hands: "Zheng Guang, still don't you receive the decree to thank you?" β
Zheng Guang listened to the words in the holy decree, and was still a little stunned, Fan Qing, who was also kneeling on the ground next to him, touched Zheng Guang, Zheng Guang stood up, hurriedly took the holy decree with both hands, and said loudly: "Raise the son Zheng Guang to receive the decree and thank you!" β
Huang Jin smiled and waved his hand, and there were two people behind him, one left and one right, holding up a word, Zheng Guang looked at it, and sure enough, it was two big characters with magnificent momentum - literary hero.
Obediently, this is the emperor's word? The emperor's own handwriting?
The people present looked at these two big characters with envy, the chances of the important ministers in the court getting the words from the emperor are still slim, not to mention that Zheng Guang is such a small person, if he does not make great contributions, it is estimated that there is no such opportunity, Zheng Guang is also a little excited in his heart, this word is actually from the emperor's own handwriting, if this is kept as a family heirloom, put it in modern times, that guy, priceless!
Zheng Guang stepped forward quite excitedly, not even caring about some of the benefits and promises given to him by the emperor, and carefully took the letter, and his heart was really a little excited.
However, this is not the end.
Huang Jin still had a smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "Little Master Zheng, hurry up and stand back, don't be in a hurry to be happy first, there is still a holy decree that has not been promulgated!" β
Zheng Guang was stunned for a moment, looked at Huang Jin strangely, Huang Jin smiled mysteriously, waved his hand, and another entourage brought a holy decree, Huang Jin's face changed, his expression was solemn, he held the holy decree with both hands, and said loudly: "Suzhou raised the son Zheng Guang to receive the decree!" β
