It is the instinct of people in the officialdom to form gangs, such as Wang Shizhen, who was admitted to the Jinshi examination, and was a member of the Punishment Department, so he pulled in a few colleagues, plus Buyi Xie Zhen, to form a poetry club, and give poems and sing harmony, which is known as the "Later Seven Sons".

As the saying goes, there are three gangs of a hero, in the era when the spread basically relies on roaring, there is a group of like-minded friends, praising everywhere, and they will soon be able to become famous. This is also a means for many rookies to protect themselves.

This kind of hype is not new at all, a thousand years ago, during the Three Kingdoms, there were Youheng naked and scolded Cao, and the ancient idol Zhuge Liang had nothing to sing Liang Fuyin, and in the next five hundred years, there will be a large group of characters who do everything in order to become famous.

In the court of the Ming Dynasty, such as the "Seven Sons Society" in the general number of gangs in the court is amazing, taking Wang Shizhen as an example, after the death of Li Panlong, he was in charge of the literary world for 20 years, and brought five sons after the future, five sons in the future, five sons in Guang, five sons at the end of the year, five sons after Nanyuan, and forty sons in Langya...... I don't know if this person has a Langya list in his hand.

But, but, but, the important thing has been said three times, there has never been a precedent of two or three hundred people openly forming a party and forming an association together in the Ming Dynasty, but Tang Yi did it like this, and he did it rightly, and he had nothing to say, who let the family have the sword of Shang Fang in their hands!

Tang Yi and Jiajing patted their chests and promised that they could do a good job of opening the sea without spending a penny.

Jiajing said on the spot that as long as he didn't want money, he would give what he needed.

Tang Yi thought about it for a long time, and only made one request to Jiajing, that is, the opening of the sea involves too wide, and the coastal provinces should sell commodities and increase cotton fields and mulberry fields. The increase in the number of craftsmen will inevitably lead to crowding out, resulting in a shortage of food and labor, which needs to be transferred from other provinces. Because the number is too large, it is not something that can be done by a single order from the government. It is necessary to find out the situation in each province before it can be foolproof.

The best people to understand the situation are the new science and technology scholars, who come from all provinces, represent a wide range of people, and are not like the old bureaucrats who have been wandering for many years, and have been disconnected from their hometowns.

Under the lure of opening the sea, Jiajing nodded happily and allowed Tang Yi to summon the new science and technology scholars to discuss the state of the country.

Jiajing, who has been shrewd all his life. I never dreamed that this seemingly random decision would cause such trouble to the descendants of the Zhu family!

The small Suzhou Guild Hall, among the less than 200 people, will have as many as 50 governors and governors of the old ministry in the future, and they will hold the Ming Dynasty for 50 years.

Of course, these are still later words, except for Tang Yi who has a hazy thought, the other rookies don't know anything about what they are doing. Everyone just knows that the imperial court is going to open the sea. I would like to know about the situation in the provinces. They try to scavenge their stomachs and say everything they know. If you are lucky enough to be adopted by Your Majesty. It is nothing less than a shortcut to promotion and fame.

After Tang Yi introduced the situation, he asked everyone to discuss it separately, and the Jinshi from each province gathered together, Tang Yi, Xu Wei, and Wang Shizhen. Wang Shimao, Zhu Dazhu, Tao Dalin, each of them held a small book, kept shuttling. Write down the opinions of the big guys.

In the beginning. is still very restrained, and he doesn't dare to speak, but he can't stand Tang Yi's agitation. Everyone is new to officialdom, full of enthusiasm, looking forward to making contributions.

Especially when he heard that His Majesty was going to give advice, his blood was even more vigorous, and after a morning, the whole hall was boiling in the afternoon.

A woman can stand up to 500 ducks, and a literati can stand up to 500 women. There are those who support the opening of the sea, those who oppose it, those who advocate the opening of the sea in Fujian, and those who advocate the opening of the sea in Songjiang.

But Tang Yi is bitter, they have to maintain the situation, prevent fighting, and record the suggestions of all parties, there is a problem here, if you write his, if you don't write mine, you just look down on me!

For the sake of fairness, they threw off their arms, carried their pens like flying, and wrote down each one. After discussing for three days, the brothers finally dispersed, and several of the brothers' arms were so swollen that they couldn't lift them, leaning back on their chairs, not wanting to move.

I heard Wang Shimao hum and chirp and said: "Okay, in three days, I wrote three drawings with just the brush, and my arms were broken." ”

Xu Wei glanced at him, "Hmph, what are three branches, I wrote five bald branches, how can this be more torturous than the test, I would rather take the test from the county again than do this job!"

Zhu Dazhu and Tao Dalin are not in good health, their voices are hoarse, and they can't speak, one compares "six" and the other "seven", and their little faces are like eating bitter melon.

Wang Shizhen looked at Tang Yi, who was not squeaking, and said curiously: "Okay, how much bald have you written?" ”

Tang Yi silently raised his fist, and Wang Shizhen swallowed his saliva with difficulty, "Okay, what's the pain!" To tell you the truth, I took a look at these suggestions, and frankly speaking, there are not many available, and some people actually say that the pickles in their hometown are delicious, and they want to sell them to the West. ”

"Maybe it can be sold to North Korea!"

Tang Yi smiled bitterly: "Cousin, I also gave the big guy a foundation, and I didn't expect their suggestions to be useful at all." While speaking, Tang Yi got up and took down a thick report from the bookshelf and placed it in front of the big guy.

"Probably since the beginning of the previous year, the traffic line has been doing an assessment and investigation of the opening of the sea, this is a report written by Wu Tiancheng himself, and it was sent to the capital half a month ago."

The big guys were all stunned, looking at Tang Yi puzzled, their faces full of doubts, and they said in their hearts that you are ready, and you are still tired of this, what are you trying to do?

Tang Yi chuckled, "The Buddha still needs 800 Arhats to preach the scriptures, and Sage Kong also has 3,000 disciples. Moreover, the most important thing is that I want a big guy to have a chance to show his face, and His Majesty has decided to hold a court meeting, and finally decide whether to open the sea or not. This battle is the first time that we have spoken out as a group! ”

Tang Yi suddenly became enthusiastic, clenched his fists and said: "Our subject is congenitally deficient, and we are facing the turmoil of the court, if we are not enough, we will become cannon fodder for others." If you want to survive in the officialdom, you must have a strong enough backer, as long as you do a good job of opening the sea for Your Majesty, the status of Bingchenke in Your Majesty's heart will be different, with Your Majesty's backing, we will unite with each other, communicate with each other, watch and help each other, don't look at our small officials, low status, but there are more ants, we can also eat elephants. None of us can count on it but ourselves! ”

"Well said!" Xu Wei stood up and patted Tang Yi on the shoulder hard, "Sure enough, it's my brother Xu Wenchang, who has courage and courage!" ”

Tao Dalin unceremoniously gave Xu Wei a fist, "Xingzhiguang is your brother, not us?" ”

"That's it, don't forget that I'm also the role model of Bingchenke, and I should do something for the big guys." Zhu Dazhu also said.

Wang Shimao and Cao Zichao also nodded frequently, clenching their fists excitedly.

Wang Shizhen saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel in his heart, to say that they Ding Weike is recognized as the strongest subject, to be literate, to be martial, to be martial, talented, thriving. But compared with today's Bingchen Ke, how can it be a little worse.

To put it bluntly, it's not good to have too many capable people, and if you lack a lion who is strong enough to lead the group, you will fight separately and will never be able to form a team.

But the taste is the taste, Wang Shizhen also really hopes that Bingchenke can prosper, his own brother and cousin are here, they are good, and they are not.

After figuring out Tang Yi's plan, the big guy didn't complain, he cheered up, communicated with his classmates during the day, discussed affairs, and at night, several of them had to get together to think clearly about the problems that might be brought about by opening the sea, and resolve them one by one.

I also want to thank Jiajing, Emperor Daojun gave Tang Yi a valuable opportunity to observe, so that he had a clear understanding of the three giants.

Although he will not be able to play with the Big Three and applaud them, at least he will not be overwhelmed by the mountains.

And in addition to the Big Three, what really made Tang Yi feel lucky was that he saw Jiajing through.

When it comes to the authority in his hands, Jiajing is definitely the most powerful emperor after Zhu Laosi, he can call the wind and rain and do whatever he wants, but Jiajing is the most irresponsible and the most passable emperor, he can start a protracted war with the courtiers for 20 years for the sake of the Great Rites, and he can also tolerate the Yan family's father and son to bring disaster to the country and the people for 20 years. To say that Jiajing is strong is really strong, and to say that Jiajing is cowardly is really cowardly.

All in all, this is a conceited and arrogant, sensitive and fragile, coupled with moodiness and instability, which is definitely the most difficult one to grasp among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

It is true that he supports the opening of the sea, but his support is not reliable, once Jiajing also supported the proposal of the reset, but it changed in three days, the reason is very simple, it is too troublesome to open up the territory and expand the territory, it is better to live a small life and live a long life, but Zeng Milling died, and the head of Shoufu Xia Yan also fell off.

Tang Yi proposed that the opening of the sea is the same, if Jiajing feels that the opening of the sea has paid too much and caused too much trouble, Tang Yi will follow in the footsteps of Zeng Milling.

It's just that Tang Yi is luckier than Zeng Milling and he saw this, so Tang Yi wants to use honey to package his plan to perfection, at least it is definitely in line with Jiajing's spleen and stomach, even if it is a sugar-coated cannonball, Jiajing must be happy to accept it.

Finally, after intense preparation and repeated deliberation, Tang Yi and the big guys finally got the plan right......

In the early morning breeze, three loud whips broke the silence, Yan Song took the lead, and more than 30 high-ranking officials dressed in red robes and wearing jade belts or gold and silver belts around their waists stepped into the Wanshou Palace. Jiajing was still wearing a Taoist robe, sitting behind the curtain, Yan Song led the officials to make a big salute, looked up, but was taken aback, only to see that next to Jiajing's gossip cloud bed, five blue-robed little ghosts stood in a row, led by the six Kuiyuan Tang Xingzhi!
