Because of the chain reaction that Zhang Ru almost had when he was knocked into the dust, everyone who had a good relationship with Zhang Ru was in danger, and those who stood on Zhang Ru's hostile position were complacent.

A few days after Zhang Ru's title of Marquis of Dingbian was removed, some officials complained about the disadvantages of the sea ban in the court, intending to persuade the emperor to continue the sea ban.

Zhu Youzhu was not stupid, and did not reply immediately.

The sea ban is a matter of great importance, Zhang Ru finally started the beginning, withstood the great pressure, if because of the fall of Zhang Ru and the ban on ocean navigation again, then the money wasted before is really a waste.

The stakes are high, and Zhu Youzhu will not make a hasty decision.

When nearly thirty percent of the officials in the court wrote to request the ban on the sea, Zhu Youzhu couldn't sit still, and on the same day, after the court meeting, he immediately convened the cabinet Liu Ji, Xie Qian, Qiu Jun, Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, and Wang Shu, the secretary of the ministry, to enter the Dongnuan Pavilion to discuss.

His choice is also very ingenious, he called all the people who had been good friends with Zhang Ru, but he didn't call Li Min, the head of the household department who led the attack on Zhang Ru in the court.

It can be seen that although the emperor was forced to take away Zhang Ru's title, he still has certain feelings for that milk brother in his heart.

Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor who can really be called an emperor with feelings is Zhu Youjiao's father and son.

And throughout the history of Shenzhou, the king of the Ming Dynasty,. Undoubtedly, he is the most affectionate and righteous king. Whether the king is dumb or wise, they all retain the characteristics of ordinary people to a greater or lesser extent.

Several ministers who were very clear about the emperor's meaning were silent after entering the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the emperor's actions made them feel terrible.

Imagine that Zhang Ru, who was once a smash hit in front of the emperor, could fall because of the courtiers' attacks and said that he would fall, although they had a lot of muffled voices, but their authority may not be comparable to that one. Whether he can continue to walk on thin ice in the court is not a matter of the emperor's words.

Zhang Wenxuan thought that he had been dismissed because he had said the wrong thing, and they didn't want to follow in Zhang Ru's footsteps because he said the wrong thing.

Zhu Youzhu rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers with a headache, and there was no other expression on his thin face, and it could be seen from his frowning brows that he was very tired.

"Don't be restrained, tell me what the courtiers are discussing today. The sea ban is a big matter, and I don't have an idea for a while. Zhu Youzhu said slowly.

Liu Ji looked left and right, and glanced at Qiu Jun, who was like an old monk and didn't pay attention to him at all. He glanced at Xie Qian again, Xie Qian snorted coldly when he saw his expression, and an old face was very decisively aimed at the other side.

In desperation, Liu Ji had no choice but to bow down and say, "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter is up for discussion." The first to promote the opening of the sea ban was Zhang Wenxuan, the former border marquis, and today Tianjin and Fuzhou are very concerned about the opening of the sea ban. In the formation of the water division, a lot of money has been spent, if the imperial court again forbids the sea at this time, I am afraid that the people of the two places will not follow. ”

Zhu Youzhu hummed noncommittally, and then looked at Xie Qian.

Xie Qian, who didn't want to express any opinions, simply pretended not to see it, he didn't have a good face for Zhang Ru, and he didn't have a good face for those Yanguan who only knew how to catch people's pigtails.

But in this matter, he is psychologically on Zhang Ru's side.

Zhu Youzhu was a little helpless, and looked at Qiu Jun again.

Xie Qian had blatantly refused to give face to the emperor, and Qiu Jun was not easy to take it over, so he said with a smile: "The minister thinks that what Liu Ge Lao said is extremely true. ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Qiu Aiqing, this is not a great court meeting, if you have any ideas, just say it." ”

Qiu Jun kept silent and shook his head slightly to indicate that he did not have any other opinions.

This pushed Liu Ji to the cusp, this old guy has always liked and thin mud, but he didn't expect that today's ability to be with thin mud was learned by Qiu Jun.

Several cabinet elders were reluctant to express their positions, and Ma Wensheng and Wang Shu were naturally reluctant to make their own remarks. In the past, there was a Dingbian Hou who could let them speak freely, but now that the Dingbian Hou is gone, they don't dare to bet on the black gauze hat on their heads.

They are old and have some ideas of their own, and they can insist on doing things in the court for their own ideas. But they don't want to let themselves go home for some inexplicable reason, and the evening is bleak.

Zhu Youzhu said unhappily: "You are all important ministers of the humerus in the court, and I asked Ji Er and the others why they kept silent!" If all the courtiers are like you, I will not be able to govern this country bit by bit! ”

Liu Ji, who was supposed to be the first to crawl on the mountain and call for long live, was one step slower, and the first place was snatched by Qiu Jun.

On such occasions, as long as one person takes the lead, the others will not be able to kneel. Therefore, all the ministers were prostrate at Zhu Youzhang's feet, saying that the ministers should die.

Zhu Youzhu coaxed angrily: "You really damn it if you wait!" ”

But saying that, can he really pull out these courtiers who are unwilling to say what they think in their hearts? There are not many capable people in the DPRK and China, and even fewer capable people who are familiar with government affairs. The old ministers who were finally unearthed were carefully selected.

It can be said that among this group of people, except for Liu Ji, who left the cabinet because of his qualifications, everyone else has their own abilities and abilities.

Released as officials, they can manage the affairs of a province well, enter Beijing to govern, and they can share worries and solve problems for the emperor.

In terms of courtiers, the Hongzhi Dynasty is many times better than the Chenghua Dynasty.

After kowtowing a few times, Xie Qian puffed up his anger and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Zhu Youzhu was overjoyed: "What I want is for you to express your hearts directly." ”

Xie Qian kowtowed: "The matter of the sea ban was vigorously promoted by the Marquis of Dingbian, and His Majesty strongly supported it. Now that the Marquis of Dingbian dismissed his official position, he immediately attacked the sea ban, and the treacherous intentions of the court can be seen. His Majesty is the lord of the Holy Wisdom, and it stands to reason that the old minister should not put his beak, but the lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the lord humiliates the minister to death.

The old minister eats the king's fortune and is loyal to the king.

The Marquis of Dingbian committed the anger of the public, and he saw no monarch father in the great court, so he went to take up an official position and took his title, which is the proper intention.

The matter of the sea ban is not a matter of one person who determines the border marquis, but a matter of the Ming Dynasty.

The imperial court invested a large amount of national funds, and the sea was banned, so the income of maritime merchants could be included in the commercial tax, and the commercial tax increased, and the treasury was full, so that the north could defend against strong enemies. If the strong enemy is destroyed, the country and the people will be safe, and the strong enemy will not retreat, and the northwest border of our Ming Dynasty will be worried.

Therefore, the old minister thought that since the matter of the sea ban had been opened, it could not be easily given up over there. ”

Zhu Youzhu frowned and nodded, indicating that he knew what he meant.

Xie Qian gave Qiu Jun a look, but Qiu Jun not only didn't give Liu Ji face, but he didn't even want to give him face.

Zhu Youzhu was obviously touched by Xie Qian's words, and he didn't speak for a long time, and after finding that the bodies of the few old ministers below were a little unbearable, he asked Qin Ji to take people to help a few people to rest.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, a bright yellow dragon robe, a five-clawed golden dragon with teeth and claws, but the thin young man wearing the dragon robe had a sad face.

Share joys and sorrows, share hardships, through life and death, and through the bright and extinction. The two of them have passed the test of life and death, and it is difficult to distinguish each other except for the country.

No one knows why the always benevolent emperor suddenly wanted to kill Zhang Ru this time, and no one knows what happened between the emperor and Zhang Ru.

Even the queen Zhang Yaoyao, who has never asked about the government and politics, but will intercede for her two younger brothers, surprisingly asked him why he treated Zhang Ru like this.

Zhu Youzhu has words of suffering.

Including the henchmen around him, he can't say it.

Because he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he is not only responsible for his personal feelings, but also for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Wenxuan can nakedly provoke the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty in order to open the sea today, will he be able to offend the emperor's relatives for a grander goal in the future? One day, when Dingbian Hou became a prince of the country, when his protégés and former officials were all over the world, and his ambitions became inflated under the influence of his subordinates, how did Zhu Youzhu deal with himself?

The tone will meet the swords and soldiers in the future, if it is better to kill the killer now, it is better to leave a friendship, at least let Zhang Ru be a rich man who does nothing for the rest of his life.

In this life, it is very difficult to get a real friend, especially the emperor, it is simply difficult to get a real friend.

The emperor has the distress of the emperor, and the courtiers also have the distress of the courtiers.

After this battle, many people who used to be the only one to look forward to the horse turned their guns one after another, and the words of attack and slander can be described as doing everything they can.

Zhu Youzhu has always been unable to provoke this, and he has already betrayed these people to death in his heart. It's good that they don't make a mistake in their respective positions, but if they do, they will surely die.

In the next month, several successive attacks failed to make the emperor dispel the idea of opening the sea ban, and Li Min, who was quite clever, immediately let the officials under his command die down.

The emperor has no temper, but it does not mean that the emperor is a fool. If this world angers everyone, there is a glimmer of hope to live, but if you offend the emperor, you can't choose your own way of dying if you want to die.

Huan Hai has been up and down all his life, and in this regard, Li Min and the master behind him are very low-key.

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year Pass again, which was different from the three-year New Year Pass of Chenghua, and the Dingbian Hou Mansion of the fourth year of Chenghua was particularly cold.

Because Zhang Ru insisted on requesting, Fan Tong is still in Fuzhou, Jiang Wei is staring at Datong, Ma Xuan is sitting on pins and needles in the position of deputy commander of Datong, Xie Lun is still talking about the opening of the sea ban and the training of sailors, and Ma Jinzhong is nowhere to be found.

In the capital, Zhang Ru can have a little companionship and visit, only Wang Zhou Rener.

Chinese New Year's Eve, only one horse comrade can go to the table to eat with Zhang Ru, one big and one small two staring at the twitching candle flame, not looking at the delicious food on the table, it seems that they have their own little care.
