Don't waste food because of choking!

This sentence simply hit Xu Pu's heart and made him very uncomfortable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xie Shen seized the only loophole in Xu Pu's words, and did not give Xu Pu a chance to fight back.

What can he say? As long as he refutes it, it proves that Xie Shen is right when he says that he wastes food due to choking.

The seemingly prosaic sentence has already made Xu Pu's argument pale.

At least with Emperor Hongzhi, Xu Pu was already at a disadvantage.

Xu Pu didn't want to give up, he glanced at Liu Jian on the side, hoping that his second assistant and friend could stand up and defend him.

But Liu Jian stood with his head bowed and his hands tied, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

Xu Pu was anxious and angry in his heart, but he couldn't attack again.

Well, when it comes to the critical time, I really can't trust outsiders.

Emperor Hongzhi asked Li Dongyang and Xie Qian's opinions again, and the two Qunfu were naturally on Xie Shen's side. This made Xu Pu even more passive.

Vaguely, he realized that he had been isolated, and the attitude of the Son of Heaven had changed significantly.

Although the Son of Heaven did not make a direct decision, Xu Pu knew that it was inevitable to open the sea ban after today.

When he came out of the Qianqing Palace, Xu Pu felt so helpless for the first time.

He glanced at several of his colleagues behind him, only to see that they were much younger than him, and as full of fighting spirit as he had been ten or twenty years ago.

And Xie Shen Xie Jinxiu, who proposed the ban on opening the sea, was even more high-spirited.

Xu Pu felt that he had aged a lot in an instant, and walked towards the palace gate alone.

......

......

In the tenth year of Hongzhi, September 13.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict to open the sea ban.

Not only in Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Ningbo, where the original city is located, there are maritime economic bureaus. It also set up local institutions in Yuyao and Fuzhou, which are directly under the supervision of local governors.

This means that the more than 100-year-old maritime ban policy has officially come to an end.

The opening of the five ports meant that smuggling maritime merchants would not be profitable and would have to transform into serious merchants.

Its far-reaching impact on the Ming Dynasty is immeasurable.

And the day after the edict of the Son of Heaven, the first assistant of the cabinet, Xu Pu, a scholar of Huagai Temple, resigned.

This is obviously something that the Son of Heaven did not expect.

You must know that since Xu Pu replaced Liu Ji in charge of the cabinet, the government and the opposition have been united, and the Ming court has been thriving.

In this case, Xu Pu wants to pick and choose, where will Emperor Hongzhi allow it.

The Son of Heaven directly approved it, and Xu Pu played again.

The Son of Heaven is still not allowed......

For Xu Pu, the ban on the sea meant that his political demands could not be realized, proving that his political ideas were wrong. A generation of pavilions naturally can't bear this kind of insult. Retiring is obviously the best option.

But the Son of Heaven will not let people go......

Xu Pu had no choice but to take sick leave and return to his hometown to recuperate, which was actually a disguised retreat.

This time the Son of Heaven could no longer refuse.

Because Xu Pu is seventy years old this year.

People live for seventy years.

Xu Pu is really old, even the first assistant of the cabinet is no exception.

In this case, it is normal for Xu Pu to really have some major and minor illnesses.

The Son of Heaven had no choice but to allow Xu Pu's leave, but retained all his official titles and titles.

In other words, the first assistant to the cabinet is still Xu Pu, but the actual government affairs are led by Liu Jian, the second assistant.

This is really a few happy and a few sad.

The good news is that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, who advocated the opening of the sea ban in the cabinet. They have only been in the cabinet for two years and belong to Xu Pu's vassals. It is simply not possible to put forward the concept of governance according to one's own ideas.

The controversy over the opening of the sea ban was an opportunity, and they seized the opportunity to successfully get rid of the shadow of Xu Pu.

Naturally, Liu Jian is worried.

Although he seemed to have taken over the authority of the first assistant left by Xu Pu, he was scolded by Xu Pu's protégé.

After all, as Xu Pu's political ally, he did not stand up to support Xu Pu at the most critical time, which caused Xu Ge to be politically frustrated, and he angrily took a leave of absence from Beijing.

Xu Pu once served as the head of the Hanlin Academy, and his protégés were all over the world. This kind of scolding is something that Liu Jian can't accept.

He had to pretend that he didn't hear it, and mediated between the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials.

And Xie Shen, who is proud of the spring breeze, has become the object of civil officials.

Soon, the impact of Xu Pu's departure faded to the end, and no one even mentioned it.

The sun rose as usual, the hundred officials were still busy handling various official affairs, and the Son of Heaven was still diligently reviewing the folds.

The court of the Ming Dynasty seems to be able to function normally without anyone.

But saying that this autumn day was refreshing, Xie Shen came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate early in the morning, and saw that his colleagues were looking at him with smiles, and subconsciously took a step back.

Damn, what does this mean, could it be that a letter asking for a ban on the sea pushed Xie Shen to the position of the leader of Shilin?

Although Old Man Xu went back to his hometown to recuperate, there is still Liu Jian.

Didn't this product also stand on Old Man Xu's side at the beginning.

Colleagues tout him so much, what do Liu Jian and Liu Cifu think?

According to the original history, Xu Pu was appointed in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, and the second assistant Liu Jian was the natural alternate as the first assistant.

Whether Xie Shen wants to believe it or not, the current fact is that Xu Pu resigned early because of his request for a ban on the sea, and this pot has to be buckled on his head.

Liu Jian will also be reprimanded by Xu Pu's protégé to some extent, and in this case, a group of colleagues will kill him, and Liu Jian is likely to be angry with him.

Xie Shen responded a few words, and then came to the public case and thought about how to deal with himself.

Just thinking to himself, Shen Yushi, who was in the same year as him, walked up to Xie Shen and arched his hand at Xie Shen and said, "Lord Xie, the lower official has something unclear about, please ask your lord to solve your doubts." ”

Xie Shen glanced up and saw that it was Shen Kuo and smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Seeing that Xie Shen didn't have a frame at all, Shen Kuo was overjoyed.

"Your Majesty ordered the opening of the sea, and the location of the port was mostly on the southeast coast, but there was no south. Why is that? ”

Xie Shen thought that he could ask such a nutritious question, but he was helpless to throw such a question.

He thought in his heart that the thoughts of the Son of Heaven could not be understood by ordinary people.

When he went to the book, he hoped that Nanzhili and Shandong would open their ports. But when he came to the Son of Heaven, he chose to open two ports in Fujian and opened the port of Guangzhou.

Although Xie Shen was confident that he would be able to open the port successfully, he was not so frivolous as to think that he could completely influence the will of the Son of Heaven.

It can only be said that his set of theories was recognized by the Son of Heaven and put forward the right proposal at the right time, nothing more.

"Your Majesty's thoughts, how can I and other courtiers be concerned? But ......"

Xie Shen paused, and said quietly: "There are not many maritime merchants in Nanzhili. It is also reasonable that the imperial court did not choose to open a port here, but to choose another place. ”
